Privacy screen protectors protect your smartphone screen from peeping eyes. We researched the best ones to help keep your phone protected in multiple ways.
Maxboost is a company that produces high-quality screen protectors, so it should be no surprise that their privacy variant is our top pick for the iPhone X and XS. This screen protector is tempered glass, ensuring that a broken screen protector doesn’t result in shards of glass. It must be viewed head-on or within 90 degrees to remain visible. Anyone standing off to the side and looking at the phone at more than a 90-degree angle won’t be able to view the device’s on-screen content.

Maxboost Privacy Glass Screen Protector
The Maxboost Privacy Glass Screen Protector for iPhone XS also includes hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings to prevent water and finger oils from damaging the screen — an anti-scratch surface rounds everything out for added protection. We especially love that the Maxboost package comes with three screen protectors, so you have a few backups and a lifetime warranty if the protector begins to peel from your smartphone. However, our favorite aspect about this screen protector is that it includes an easy application tool for bubble-free installation.
The pehael Privacy Screen Protector for iPhone XR features a super-thin 0.33mm tempered-glass solution that offers a dust-free and fingerprint-free experience. The package includes everything you need to install it and gives you three individual protectors in case you need a backup (or two).

The folks at pehael wanted to make sure your iPhone XR’s screen stays well-protected — this glass screen has an advertised hardness level of 9H, which is pretty impressive. If you have an iPhone XR and want to protect your screen from onlookers, the pehael is an excellent option. The company also includes a lifetime warranty if the screen protector experiences any issues during normal usage.
If you own a Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus, you aren’t left out of the privacy screen game, as Omnifense also makes an excellent option for the Samsung Galaxy S9’s bigger sibling. Offering complete protection for the Galaxy S9 Plus 6.2-inch display, the Omnifense privacy screen protector is an ultra-thin 0.22mm with self-healing properties, so it’ll still look good even if it gets a minor scratch or two. Of course, the highlight of a privacy screen protector is how well it manages to keep your on-screen data secure, and the Omnifense delivers an ‘anti-spy’ feature that prevents the screen from being viewed at excess of 60 degrees.
