In India, an average person uses his/her smartphone for about 4.6 hours everyday. India saw a climb from 3.3 hours in 2019 to 4.6 hours in 2020. It also has a lot to do with the global pandemic that forced India to implement a country lockdown from 22nd March 2020. The lockdown lasted for about 2 months.

Does a phone screen scratch easily?

Phone screens are made up of a number of layers with the last (the layer a user touches) layer being some kind of a glass. The best quality Gorilla Glass on a smartphone's screen can scratch at Level 6 with deeper grooves at Level 7.

Using a smartphone for 4.6 hours daily, in India, might make the screen prone to micro scratches as there exists enough dust in the environment. Even storing your smartphone in a backpack or inside your denim pockets could easily scratch its screen.

Hence, protecting your phone's screen from scratches and dust is a must and you should definitely consider a screen protector.

What is the best and most affordable screen protector for iPhone and OnePlus?

There are many types of screen guards like tempered glass, privacy glass, flex glass etc. We would suggest against buying a tempered glass as it will break once you knock your phone in a hurry or by mistake. In many cases, the screen of your smartphone also gets damaged.
We recommend you to buy the Flex Glass which is hammer proof and sticks really well to your phone. It comes in a Pack of 2 and is available for Apple iPhone and OnePlus devices.
