The UniqueMe screen protector is one of those products that does a lot right—especially when it comes to protection—but makes some compromises that may or may not matter depending on how you use your phone. It landed at #8 in our rankings out of 20+ tested screen protectors. So while it isn’t perfect, it stands out for durability and value. Let’s break it down.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Excellent edge strength (112.08N) | High glare increase (+17.08%) |
| Strong impact resistance (318.78N) | Thicker black border limits screen view |
| Above-average oleophobic coating | Only one install frame included |
| Scratch resistant (7H) | Performance ranked low overall (#16) |
| Good value (2-pack for $19) | Average clarity (0.90) |
Design
Design-wise, the UniqueMe screen protector ranks #7. It’s made of double-tempered glass and offers a front face coverage of 93.13%, slightly above the 93.07% average. However, it comes with a thick black silk screen border that cuts into the visible screen area more than most other protectors. The top of the iPhone is fully covered, including a thoughtful speaker grill notch—one of the more unique touches we’ve seen.
In the box, you get a premium frame, lens wipes, microfiber cloth, squeegee, and two wet wipes—which is nice. Oddly, though, there’s only one frame included, so you’ll have to reuse it between installs. Still, for a budget product, the kit is better than most.
Performance
Performance is where the UniqueMe protector slips, ranking #16. Clarity is average at 0.90, while glare is where it really struggles—this screen protector increases glare by 17.08%, compared to the average of 5.64%. That’s a noticeable difference in bright environments.
The oleophobic coating performs surprisingly well. Oil droplets took 48.76 seconds to slide down the surface—longer than average—but the residue left behind was minimal and large in size, which from our experience indicates better coating spread. So while clarity and glare suffer, smudge resistance is quite strong.
Protection
UniqueMe really shines in protection, ranking #6 overall. Scratch resistance held up to 7H picks and barely showed marks at 6H. What’s more impressive is the edge durability—112.08N, compared to the 86.18N average—and a high-impact threshold of 318.78N, far above the 271.44N average. Despite the marketing fluff about military-grade durability, the numbers back up the claim. This is one tough screen protector.
Value
At $19 for a 2-pack, UniqueMe hits a sweet spot in affordability. You get a premium-feeling kit with solid protection and durability. It’s a great pick for users who frequently drop their phones or keep them in challenging environments. However, if visual clarity and screen brightness are priorities, this may not be the right fit.
Verdict
Overall, the UniqueMe screen protector is a durable, budget-friendly option with standout edge and impact protection. It’s held back by a thick black border and high glare, which could be a dealbreaker for those who prioritize screen visibility. If you tend to drop your phone or want strong protection above all else, it’s a solid buy. But if you’re all about display clarity and viewing angles, you may want to look elsewhere.
