The tempered glass by Ringke is a hardened glass, specially designed to cover and protect your phone's screen from scratches and other damage. It does not affect the screen's functionality. In case of a phone drop, it does not guarantee that the screen will not break along with it, however, it is an additional protection. 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. Its special processing makes the phone screen visible only from the front, preventing visibility from any angle. This protection is useful if you often travel by public transport and do not want those around you to look at your screen. On the contrary, it is not suitable for gaming or watching videos, as it darkens the screen. It is compatible with iPhone 17 Pro Max / iPhone 16 Pro Max.
