Tempered Glass Screen Protectors for CUBOT Mobile Phones
Many people are confused about the purpose of tempered glass screen protectors for their phones and wonder if they are any different from plastic glass screen protectors. The answer is that a tempered glass screen protector for a Cubot mobilephone is a distinct improvement over plastic for a number of reasons.
Tempered, or toughened, glass is a type of safety glass that is produced by heating and then rapidly cooling glass. Without going into the finer details, tempered glass is five to ten times tougher than ordinary glass. Furthermore, if it should break this happens differently from ordinary glass and it breaks into small pieces with rounded edges rather than shards.
Why choose tempered glass?
Some people prefer tempered glass screen protectors as they are so easy to apply. Plastic can easily stretch when being applied to a phone screen and because it is thin can get air bubbles trapped beneath it. Tempered glass is rigid and cannot crumple, therefore easier to apply.
Furthermore, tempered glass can withstand heat from the body without suffering from thermal expansion. Plastics can heat up and the adhesive may suffer causing the plastic to begin to peel off the phone.
In addition, plastics are thin and if the phone is dropped cannot absorb any shock. This means that if you do drop your phone it will be the screenthat breaks. A tempered glass screen protectorthat is dropped will only affect the glass and not the screen.
Tempered glass is also resistant to scratching from keys or coins in your pocket or even from long fingernails. Those things will not affect a tempered glass screen protector, whereas plastic will get scratched. It can also suffer from smudging when you tap the surface or swipe.
