Tempered Glass Screen protectors explained
Tempered glass used in screen protectors is manufactured using controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength to normal glass. They are made by extensively exposing the glass to high temperatures and then quickly cooling. As it endures both extreme heat and then rapid cooling, they end up being incredibly stronger and more resistant to breakage.
Tempered glass is four times as much stronger than normal glass. Unlike normal glass, the tempered glass fractures into small, relatively harmless pieces.
Tempered glass screen protectors for Apple iPhones contain multiple layers, which includes an oleophobic nano-coating, anti-shatter film, PET film and sometimes a penetrable absorbent silicon coating on the top. Some also have an OCA (Optically Clear Adhesive) layer. All of these layers form a durable yet thin piece of tempered glass screen protector.
Why a tempered glass protector?
Tempered glass screen protector adds an extra layer of protection over a regular phone screen. It can shield the phone screens from everyday scratches, breakage or any other damage. It is the perfect choice for those who wish to cover their Apple iPhone screens without harming the edges. Moreover, the tempered glass screen protectors are sleek. So it provides maximum image clarity and has the ultimate touchscreen sensitivity.

Problems during the installation of tempered glass screen protectors
While tempered glass is the best for your Apple iPhone, you may encounter some problems whilst installing a tempered glass screen protector. The most common issue people reported during a tempered glass protector installation process is the appearance of bubbles.

Besides, sometimes the tempered glass may also peel away from the screen if the bubbles reach an edge.
If you failed to choose a high-quality product then you may also end up with issues like dried-out adhesive. So your tempered glass would no longer stick to your phone screen. The screen protector would be pulled off easily or even cause a bend.
