Hi !

is the 0.33mm tempered glass screen protector harder than then 0.26mm ? Both are rated at 9H.
Why some tempered glass so cheap. How can I tell if it's really 9H and not just ordinary glass ? Any way to tell ?

Thanks.

9H tampered glass is not glass but hard plastic close to glass material. my preference is either thickness of 0.26 or 0.33 and is sufficient to provide the protection. thickness of 0.2 is too thin and chip easily imo

oh. I thought they are tempered glass like those in the car ! ha ha.

So what's the dif for 0.26 and 0.33 ? Just the thickness ? Which is more protective ?

yes the diff is the thickness of the tempered glass. of course the thicker the better protection but also makes your phone looks thick. so 0.26 is just nice 🙂

Has anyone encountered a thick screen protector causes touch screen to be less sensitive ?

I have not encountered any sensitivity issue with tempered screen so far. only had quality issues - easily chip, mis-alignment, fingerprint smudge, etc 🙂

9h is a marketing term. glass is still glass, what are you talking about?
