I dunno how siperstrong can a tempered glass protector be but there are phones that have screens that are superstrong and durable like Honor X9a and X9b... I think there's a video somewhere where they drove a car over X9a and the screen didn't break or shatter...

glass it's still glass, some mentioned they are super strong, some people drop it many times and there was still no crack, while some drop first time crack. It really depends on how you drop, it's really varies. Anyway, the purpose of glass screen protector is for it to break first than your phone glass screen. It should absorb the shock and crack first.

If you are looking for one tough phone with a tough screen, it's Honor x9b, no need for screen protector

Not possible for tempered glass to be strong. By default it will always be weak along the thin width of the glass. Anyway the point of the tempered glass is not to break. It is to break first so that it can protect the phone's own tempered glass from being scratched or even crack.

Similar to what most people here are saying, if your phone is flagship-grade from the last couple of years, the glass it comes with will be stronger, if not as strong as any tempered glass layer you can buy.

Additionally, I refrain from using tempered glass add-ons --- assuming I drop my phone and damage the screen, I don't want the cracked tempered glass further damaging the phone glass beneath. If you really want, a softer film-type protector should suffice for preventing scratches directly on your phone glass.

To protect your phone glass, it's the phone casing that matters more. Choose a casing that has mildly raised sides around the display. If and when you drop your phone, especially face-down, the raised sides are what prevent the glass from hitting the ground.

I handle several dozens of phones every year for phone reviews and have broken a grand total of zero phones in the last 10 years. Dropped countless times though 🤐🤐🤐

Any normal tempered glass plus a phone cover that protrudes out a bit higher (especially at the corners) should protect the phone screen during a fall. Most of the time, the first contact during a fall will be cushioned by the cover, not the tempered glass itself unless the drop is on some very uneven surface.

If you are thinking of getting the strongest so that it could last multiple falls because you don't know how to replace it, then you can consider those coming with an applicator. They have a mould that is shaped to the phone screen, you just need to align your phone into the mould to paste it on.

Something like this. You can even keep the mould and recycle it with other tempered glass in future if it doesn't come with one. Basically, all the scratch tests are BS anyway. Glass itself has a MOHS of 5.5 to 7. Steel only has MOHS 4, so a steel knife can never scratch a glass. Those knives that can cut glass are probably coated with diamond or quartz dust. Just rub some sands and it has a higher chance of scratching the glass than a knife because there are quartz/silica in the sands with MOHS 7. Any quartz crystal also will do the job of scratching most glass.

Glass is glass no matter what coating they put. As JerryRig always say "glass scratch at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7". 😂
