Jan 15, 2026
So you've got your hands on a beautiful new iPhone 17 – or, even better, one of the Air, Pro, or Pro Max models. Congratulations!
Now, what happens if you break it?
The iPhone 17 features a beautiful Super Retina XDR OLED screen across all available models, and you’ll want to protect it. But whether it's a scratch from keys in your pocket or a drop from a desk, phones are vulnerable to all kinds of daily damage.
The best way to prevent this is to get a case and a screen protector on your phone as soon as possible. But which are the best options? Let's take a look at the best screen protectors for the iPhone 17.
1. Casely Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector
A premium phone like the iPhone 17 deserves premium protection. And that's exactly what the Casely Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector offers.
This protector is available in dozens of different models, including ones that will perfectly fit the iPhone 17, along with the Air, Pro, and Pro Max models. The tempered glass is shatter-resistant, so if you drop your phone, it's far less likely to break. Completely transparent, the glass allows your phone to stay responsive to your touch, so you'll forget it's even there. At least until an accident happens.
Anti-smudge and anti-scratch features keep the screen protector looking great even during heavy daily use. It comes with a cleaning kit and application instructions, allowing you to start protecting your phone right away.
Pros
-
Doesn’t interfere with the touchscreen
-
Shatter-resistant
-
Smudge-resistant
Cons
-
You need to keep your hand steady when applying the protector
-
Glass can crack under heavy impacts
2. Casely Anti-Spy Tempered Glass Screen Protector
These days, we spend more time on our phones than ever. That means we need privacy. Whether you're texting a friend, sending a work email, or logging into your banking app, the last thing you want is someone looking over your shoulder and getting your private information.
In addition to offering all the scratch and damage protection of the Premium screen protector, this protector also features a special privacy filter.
The way this filter works is really clever. Viewed straight on, you'll easily see your phone the way it was meant to look, with no loss of clarity or sharpness. But viewed at an angle, the screen looks blank.
It's not just your device you need to protect. It's also your data. This high-tech protector lets you do exactly that. It even comes with an easy installation tray so you can apply it in less than 30 seconds, with no bubbles or misalignment.
Pros
-
Protects sensitive data
-
Doesn’t interfere with clarity or sharpness
-
Easy to apply
Cons
-
Has a slightly different feel when typing, though users quickly get used to it
Does the iPhone 17 Need a Screen Protector?
If you just spent big money on a phone, the last thing you want to do is spend more on accessories, but do you need a screen protector?
Well, yes.
While the iPhone 17 includes Apple's Ceramic Shield 2 protective coating, this only goes so far. Crucially, it doesn't protect your phone from impacts such as being dropped, which can shatter an unprotected device.
A tempered glass screen protector allows you to enjoy the cutting-edge technology of your phone while still protecting it from accidental damage.
What Is an Anti-Spy Screen Protector?
Normal screen protectors create a physical barrier between your phone and things that might damage it. An anti-spy screen protector does the same thing, but also has a special coating on the glass.
This coating reduces the viewable angles of the display. So while you won't notice it while using your phone normally, anyone standing behind or slightly to the side of you won't be able to see your information. It's a simple but extremely effective way to protect your personal data when using your phone.
