Even though this screen protector is made up of five different layers — nano coating, tempered glass, explosion-proof film, adhesive coating, and silicon coating — it remains thin at just 0.33mm. You'll have no problems using your touchscreen, and the clarity of the screen won't change at all.

StilGut has a hardness rating of 9H, meaning it will be resilient to just about everything you carry around in your pockets or purse. Don't forget, it will also protect the screen from drops onto sharp and pointed objects. If you do manage to get smudges on the oleophobic outer layer, they can be easily cleaned off with the included microfiber cleaning cloth.

Unlike some other tempered glass screen protectors, StilGut took the time to cut out a hole to fit around the front-facing camera, rather than just trimming it below the camera. The result is more protection and a better-looking device. Users have stated that StilGut is one of the best screen protectors for sticking to the slightly sloped corners of the Lumia 950 XL. It is on the expensive side for screen protectors — about $20 for two — but it is definitely one of the best you can buy to protect your phone.
