Benefits of Using a Screen Protector with Blue Light and Privacy Filters for Your iPhone 16

Top Benefits of Using a Screen Protector with Blue Light and Privacy Filters for Your iPhone

December 13, 2024

Screen protectors have evolved far beyond just defending against scratches and falls. From PET plastic and tempered glass, to our most recent UltraGlass 2 ion-exchange technology, screen protectors have come a long way. Modern screen protectors not only protect but provide features like blue light and privacy filters. Given how much time we spend looking at our phones, it's worth exploring screen protectors that offer these exciting additions. Let's take a look at how blue light and privacy screen protectors for iPhone 16 will benefit us and discover some of the best options out there.

1. Protect Your Eyes: The Power of Blue Light Filtering

What is Blue Light?

Blue light, also known as high-energy visible (HEV) light, is a color in the visible light spectrum that can be seen by the human eye. All digital devices, including smartphones, LED TVs and laptops, emit blue light.

The Effects of Blue Light

According to Eyesafe®, an industry leader in the latest standard for blue light safety in digital displays, the average American spends more than 13 hours a day looking at screens. Nearly 65% have reported experiencing symptoms of digital eye strain due to screen time. This prolonged exposure to blue light has been linked to headaches, dry eyes, blurred vision, reduced productivity and focus, and poor sleep quality.

How Blue Light Screen Protectors Help

Blue light screen protectors are a great way to reduce these symptoms and provide a more comfortable viewing experience. Studies have shown that blue light filters can help promote eye health and better sleep. Our most advanced blue light screen protectors can reduce up to 60% of blue light emissions.

2. Maintain Privacy Anywhere You Go

How Privacy Screen Protectors Work

Privacy screen protectors use polarized plastic to create a filter that allows light to pass through from certain angles. When viewing your screen head-on, your device will look as it normally does, but when viewing it from the side or above, you'll only see a black screen. This means the only person that can see your information is you!

Privacy Screen Protectors' Benefits

Privacy screens are the best way to protect the following sensitive information while using your device in crowded spaces, at work or while traveling:

  • Passwords
  • Photos
  • Banking information
  • Notes
  • Confidential business emails
  • Personal text messages/emails
  • Locations - of yourself and loved ones

When is a Privacy Screen Helpful?

In public spaces like airports, offices and coffee shops, there are more than enough opportunities for our information to be stolen. Shoulder surfing is a term used to describe the act of someone looking over your shoulder to steal passwords, PINs, or banking information. But more than just protecting pins and passwords, our photo library, personal text messages and emails are also at risk. Privacy screen protectors are an effective deterrent, as the information on the screen becomes distorted when viewed anywhere except head-on.

Our 2-way privacy screen protector goes above and beyond, offering the perfect balance between privacy and convenience. Unlike 4-way filters that block visibility in both vertical and horizontal orientations, our 2-way filter applies only to vertical use. This means you can keep your screen private from side glances when using your phone normally, but still share your screen easily in horizontal mode-perfect for activities like watching YouTube videos with friends.

3. Extend the Life of Your iPhone 16 Screen

There are several ways that screen protectors can extend the life of your phone, including:

  • Scratch-Resistance: even the toughest glass will show scratches and scuffs from daily use. Keys and coins in pockets, for example, can leave marks on your screen without a screen protector.

  • Shatter Protection: while screen protectors won't make your phone screen invincible, they can provide an extra layer of protection that might prevent the glass from shattering upon impact from an unexpected drop.

  • Cost-Effectiveness: you can easily avoid costly screen repairs by using a durable, high-quality screen protector that will break instead of your native screen.

4. Maintain Productivity and Focus

  • Reduce Distractions: the InvisiGlass Privacy Treated Screen Protector for iPhone 16 provides full screen privacy and keep the field of vision for your iPhone at a tight +/- 30 degrees, allowing you to enter private messages or information in public spaces without worrying about prying eyes.

  • Enhance Comfort for Extended Use: with blue light screen protectors, you can work and play for longer periods of time without suffering from tired eyes, headaches and other harmful effects of blue light.

  • Better Focus: with privacy screen protectors, you can breathe a sigh of relief with an easy defense against data theft. Having this comfortable screen time means you can better focus and enjoy your device longer.

5. Easy Installation and Warranty

Not all screen protectors are created equal. Get the most out of your screen protector with additional features that make for a smoother experience.

  • User-Friendly Application: we know how daunting it can be to install your own screen protector, which is why every screen protector includes an Easy Align tray- a reliable way to apply your screen protector without worrying about misalignment or bubbles.

  • Warranty for Peace of Mind: it's important to know your screen protector comes with added insurance. Our new recycled glass screen protectors come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, which covers the replacement or refund of defective products for life.
