screen protector

Phone glass guard

A screen protector is a thin sheet of plastic, glass, or film applied to a device's display to guard against scratches, cracks, and smudges.

Most are designed for smartphones and tablets: I cracked my screen protector but the actual screen is fine.

Some reduce glare or filter blue light.
