You have bought a new device and want to protect it optimally, but on the other hand you don't want to completely undermine the slim design.
That's the dilemma, especially when you consider how much scratches and damage on the display reduce the resale value of the device.
So now the question arises: armored film or armored glass?
Tempered glass and tempered film are both protective films that are applied to smartphones or other displays of technical devices to protect them from scratches, breaks and other damage. So both serve the same purpose. However, there are some serious differences between the two, which we list below.
Differences between tempered glass and tempered film
The crucial and essential difference between tempered glass and armored film lies in the material used.
The bulletproof glass
Tempered glass consists of tempered glass that is applied to the device's display. It is known to be resistant to scratches.
However, unlike armored film, it is not flexible, which makes it difficult to attach and remove the screen protector.
Like normal glass, bulletproof glass can break . This creates unsightly cracks on the tempered glass, which can extend across the entire length and width of the screen. In addition, the tempered glass is significantly thicker and more visible . The feel of the device is also changed and can be perceived as disturbing, especially if the simple, modern and slim design of the device is undermined.
GREENMNKY® armored films
The GREENMNKY® armored films, on the other hand, are made of a high-tech thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and are therefore very soft and flexible . It is precisely this special material properties that enable it to absorb impact energy better than standard protective glass. It also offers the great advantage that it does not break like protective glass. GREENMNKY® protective films are 75% thinner compared to tempered glass, but still provide 20% better protection thanks to shock-absorbing plastic with a glass feel and look.
The precisely fitting GREENMNKY®
In addition to protecting against falls, bumps and scratches, screen protectors offer crystal-clear visibility. In addition, the fingerprint-resistant, water- and oil-repellent surface reduces the formation of stains on the display.
This is how GREENMNKY® screen protectors impress:
Thickness:
Tempered glass is 75% thicker than armored film and can therefore make the device bulkier, heavier and thicker. Armored film, on the other hand, impresses with a very thin design that is neither perceived as disturbing in terms of feel nor appearance.
Flexibility :
Tempered glass is thinner and more flexible than tempered glass, which makes it easier to attach to the display. They also adhere better to the display than tempered glass and can adapt better to curved screen edges.
Installation:
Applying tempered film to the display is easier and requires less skill than applying tempered glass. Our tutorials show you step by step how to install it easily and without bubbles.
Cost:
Tempered glass is generally cheaper than tempered glass. In addition, due to its brittleness, the tempered glass can break both directly when it is attached and during daily use, whereupon the screen protector must be completely replaced. You are spared this with a high-quality armored film.
Clarity:
Tempered glass often advertises greater clarity than armored films. However, GREENMNKY® armored films offer increased clarity and do not affect the color saturation or brightness of the display. So you can enjoy your display as if it were film-free.
Shock absorption:
GREENMNKY® tempered films ensure 20% improved shock absorption compared to tempered glass and can protect the display better and more effectively against scratches and impacts.
Additional special features:
GREENMNKY® offers a wide range of screen protectors with additional useful features. For example, the PrivacyPro armored film can protect your display and therefore your privacy from prying eyes, or the QuickRepair armored film can make minor scratches on the display disappear as if by magic.
