How we judge protection
Whether an alignment tray is included, because installation is where most protectors fail before they ever get used. Then edge profile under a case lip, oleophobic coating longevity, Face ID clearance, and for camera rings the honest optical trade-off in night photography. Model-specific fit is checked, not assumed.

In daylight, no measurable difference. At night, the extra glass layer can add flare or a faint halo around bright light sources. If you shoot a lot at night, that’s the real trade-off.
Edge bubbles usually mean dust underneath — lift the corner with tape, lift the dust off with the included sticker, and lay it back down. Bubbles in the middle typically settle within a day.
Usually. Cases with a very tall raised bezel can catch the corners of a protector and lift it over time, and tight camera cutouts may not clear a raised lens ring. Each product page notes this.
