The Torras GlassGo X screen protector is loaded with bold claims—12ft drop protection, aerospace-grade 9H+ durability, and more. And to be fair, it does deliver in several key areas. In our testing, it ranked #4 out of over 20 screen protectors. But there’s a critical flaw that holds it back from being a clear winner: edge durability. Let’s break it all down.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Excellent impact resistance (335.4N) | Weak edge strength (81.66N) |
| Great optical clarity (0.92) | Flat edges on a “premium” product |
| Above-average oleophobic coating | Marketing overpromises durability |
| Decent install tools and experience | Not ideal for clumsy users |
| Fair price for 2-pack ($29.99) | Overall protection ranked just 8th |
Design
The Torras GlassGo X ranks 11th in design. It’s likely double tempered glass based on our crack testing, and it covers 93.5% of the iPhone’s front face—slightly above average. Display coverage is on point at 99.87%, but the small cutout and semi-flat edges are odd choices for something labeled “premium.” Flat edges are typically weaker and more noticeable during daily use.
The install process is solid. You get a decent frame, lots of dust stickers, and a kit that delivers a dust-free install experience without much hassle. Still, there’s nothing revolutionary here—it’s good, just not standout in today’s market.
Performance
This is where the Torras GlassGo X shines. It ranks #3 overall in performance. Optical clarity comes in at 0.92 (above the 0.9 average), delivering crisp visuals that are nearly as good as bare glass. Glare increases by just 7.7%, which is a minor bump you’ll barely notice in most lighting conditions.
The oleophobic coating also scores well. Oil droplets traveled 6cm in 32.23 seconds—faster than the 44-second average—and left behind large, clean drops, indicating solid smudge resistance. These are signs of a high-quality coating that makes everyday swiping and cleaning easier.
Protection
Protection, however, is where the cracks start to show—literally. The Torras GlassGo X ranks #8 in this category. Scratch resistance is fine, holding up to 6H and 7H picks. But its edge strength is just 81.66N, slightly below the 85.01N average. That’s concerning for a product that promises rugged durability. And while the center held up to 335.4N in our sharp impact test (well above the 276.76N average), a chipped edge makes all that strength irrelevant.
The bottom line: edge protection wasn’t given the attention it deserves. Torras might’ve focused too much on reinforcing the center glass and not enough on polishing or reinforcing the edges—where most real-world damage actually begins.
Value
At $29.99 for a 2-pack, Torras GlassGo X sits comfortably in the midrange price tier. For that, you get impressive clarity, great impact resistance, and a clean install experience. But value takes a hit when you realize the edge durability doesn’t quite match the marketing hype. If you’re careful with your phone, this protector may work fine. But if you drop your phone regularly or use thin cases, it’s a risky choice.
Verdict
The Torras GlassGo X screen protector delivers standout performance and clarity—but its flat, weak edges limit its real-world durability. If you value high-quality visuals and don’t drop your phone often, it could be a solid buy. But for those seeking all-around protection, especially at the edges, the GlassGo X leaves too much exposed. Strong center, weak edges—it’s a mismatch that keeps this protector from reaching the top spot.
