Apple gave the iPhone 17 tougher glass and a new coating. However, your screen can still scratch, glare is still an issue, and accidents still happen. We put $600 worth of tempered glass through clarity and sharpness tests, glare reduction, fingerprinting and durability (both impact and edge). After breaking, scratching, and smudging our way through more than a couple dozen protectors, only three stood out that fit our criteria of no added glare. Here are the best iPhone 17 screen protectors you can actually trust in 2025.
#3 Wsken Screen Protector
| Testing Metric | Value | Average |
| Price | $22 for 2 | $27 |
| Clarity | 89% | 90% |
| Glare Reduction | -2% | +5% |
| Direct Impact | 291N | 275N |
| Edge Strength | 121N | 86N |
If you’re pinching pennies, Wsken’s $22 screen protector is the cheapest in our top three. Coverage sits at 94% of the iPhone’s front face, which is the lowest here, but installation is simple and straightforward. On paper, it’s a solid budget pick.
In clarity testing, Wsken came in at 89%, just under the 90% average. Text and edges lose a touch of sharpness, which might bug you if you’re picky about image quality. Glare reduction was almost nonexistent while fingerprint resistance lagged behind. In our oil droplet test, smudges took 38 seconds to clear, meaning you’ll be wiping your phone down more often.
Where Wsken surprised us was in durability. It took 291N of direct impact (above the 275N average) and 121N at the edges (well above the 86N average), even outperforming our #2 pick in strength. Scratch resistance leaned closer to 7H, though not quite the 9H+ it claims.
At the end of the day, you get what you pay for. Wsken is cheap and strong, but you’re sacrificing clarity and fingerprint resistance. If you’re okay with that tradeoff, it’ll protect your iPhone without draining your wallet.
#2 Torras OrigArmor 100% Anti-Glare
| Testing Metric | Value | Average |
| Price | $42 | $27 |
| Clarity | 93% | 90% |
| Glare Reduction | -27% | +5% |
| Direct Impact | 241N | 275N |
| Edge Strength | 110N | 86N |
The Torras OrigArmor is the premium priced option in our lineup, priced at $42. It even comes in the biggest box we’ve ever seen for a screen protector. Coverage is slightly better than Wsken at 94.5%, and Torras introduces a unique roller system for installation. Think old-school credit card imprinters, slide, press, and you’re done. We did end up with two small bubbles, but they squeezed out easily.
In clarity, OrigArmor hit 93%, just shy of the 94% maximum for tempered glass. Its real strength is glare reduction, cutting reflections down by 27%. That pairs beautifully with the iPhone 17’s anti-reflective coating, even if Torras’s “100% Anti-Glare” claim is marketing fluff.
Fingerprint resistance was slightly better than Wsken, with oil droplets clearing in 35 seconds. Durability, however, is where Torras stumbled. Direct impact averaged 241N, below the 275N group average, though its edge strength at 110N was solid. For scratches, it hovered around 7H, far from the 9H+ it boasts.
If we had to choose between weak edges or weak impact, we’d go with the weak impact. From our testing, cracks usually start at the edge of screen protector, not the center.
In short, Torras delivers premium clarity and excellent glare reduction, but durability doesn’t live up to the price tag. It’s a good option if you value screen visibility over impact strength but there is no reason to choose the Torras product over our #1 pick.
#1 Flolab NanoArmor ONETIME PRO
| Testing Metric | Value | Average |
| Price | $40 | $27 |
| Clarity | 93% | 90% |
| Glare Reduction | -37% | +5% |
| Direct Impact | 313N | 275N |
| Edge Strength | 147N | 86N |
We know Flolab showing up at #1 isn’t shocking. Every year, their protectors dominate our tests, and the NanoArmor 7 for iPhone 17 is no different. Priced at $40, it undercuts Torras slightly while outperforming it across the board.
Coverage sits at 94.5%, basically identical to Torras. Installation uses Flolab’s trusty tray system, paired with one of the biggest dust stickers we’ve seen, a simple slap-and-pull that eliminates dust. Clarity hit 93%, just as sharp as Torras, but NanoArmor’s secret weapon is glare reduction. It reduces glare by a whopping 37%. Compared to the average protector, which actually increases glare by 5%, this is a massive win.
Fingerprinting was also best in our Top 3. Droplets cleared in 31 seconds, which means fewer smudges and less cleaning. Durability was where Flolab crushed it: 313N of direct impact and 147N at the edges, making it the toughest protector in this lineup. Scratch resistance was a solid 7H, and it includes an anti-rainbowing feature for sunglasses which is something no one else offers.
Honestly, the NanoArmor 7 makes the other two feel like compromises. For clarity, durability, and glare reduction, this is the best iPhone screen protector of 2025.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for the cheapest option, Wsken is the clear pick at $22. But if you want the best balance of performance and features, Flolab NanoArmor 6 is hands down the winner. Torras sits in the middle with great glare reduction but weaker durability. As for us? We’re sticking with Flolab, it’s the protector we’d actually trust on our own iPhones.
