The screen protector by Northjo is a film, specially designed to protect the screen only from dust and superficial scratches. It does not protect the screen in case of a drop, as it is thin. It does not affect the screen's functionality. It has adhesive over its entire surface, unlike edge glue glasses that have adhesive only on their perimeter. This helps in better application and seamless touch screen functionality. It also does not allow dust to pass underneath, which can happen with edge glue when the perimeter adhesive wears off. It is compatible with iPhone 17 Pro Max / iPhone 16 Pro Max.
