If you have a smartphone, you have a small device, with a lot of power, with many functions, but extremely fragile. Especially now that mobiles have large screens, this component has become especially fragile, and that is why find a screen saver perfect it is something key. One of the best current options is resin screen protector. What are its advantages and disadvantages?

Adaptable to all mobiles

The main characteristics of resin screen protectors have to do with how they were created. It is not easy to find tempered glass for all smartphones in stores, especially when we talk about smartphones that are not officially sold in Spain, as could be some Xiaomi, or mobiles from brands even less known around here, such as LeEco, Meizu or Elephone. In such cases, we can only turn to international online distributors, but that complicates us, because the crystals take time to arrive, we do not know their exact quality, and when they are damaged, we have to wait as long to receive a new one.

This is how the resin screen protectors. These fit all smartphones. Initially it is fixed to the mobile, then is cut into the shape of the smartphone, and later on we proceed to stick it to the screen. With a special liquid, both the gluing as the adaptation of the protector to the screen. We bear in mind that this liquid allows us to move the protector to position it correctly before it dries, so we can achieve a perfect fixation. After a few days all the air bubbles are eliminated and we have a very fine finish.

More shock absorbing

As you can imagine, if it is made of resin, it is softer than tempered glass. The key is that it is elastic. That is, we can deform it, and it will revert to its original shape over time. This means several things. One of them is that absorbs more force on impact, so the screen will suffer less damage. And secondly, the resin screen protector has lthe ability to return to its initial state, remaining as new, as long as we have not removed a part of said resin.

Finest

We cannot also forget something that we do not just like about tempered glasses, and that is that they are not as thin as they should be. Of course, if we want them to be resistant, it is the price that must be paid. But resin screen protectors are thinner, which will delight users who have bought a mobile for its design and do not want to change it, but do not want the screen to be damaged either. In turn, being thinner, it also gives another feeling when using the mobile. In fact, it will be after a few days, from when we buy and adapt it, that we will be able to use the resin protector in its final state. So if you find the touchpad strange at first, keep in mind that it will change after a few days.

It is not excessively expensive

I remember tempered glasses that were launched for very high prices, exceeding 50 euros. Today we can get them from international distributors for less than 3 euros. This resin protector is not excessively expensive, it goes up to 15 euros in stores like MediaMarkt, who already offers it. At the moment, it is the simplest place where we can find this resin screen protector, although it will not be strange that we find it if not now in a short time in specialized stores in different cities. In the case of MediaMarkt, the protector has lifetime warranty, and if we keep the receipt we can return to have it changed in case it is damaged or detaches, and they will install a new one.

Some other defect

Of course, perfection does not exist. As with tempered glass, with a resin screen protector we lose some of the quality of vision of the screen. Taking into account that we may have bought a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge with a Quad HD curved screen, we do not want to lose quality in these cases, right? Another drawback is that if we see it in sunlight, we will see that the finish of the resin sheet is not uniform, although that is not particularly objectionable, it is only because of the material with which it is made. In my opinion, it is a better option than tempered glass, it has a better finish, and I see less inconvenience.
