The Matte Screen Protector for iPhone 16 Pro by Benks with a Black Frame

Price: $21.99 for 2 pieces ($11 each)

Pros

✓ Display does not become pixelated
✓ Barely visible
✓ Rounded edges
✓ Easy installation with a frame
✓ Touch and Face ID work smoothly
✓ Includes all necessary accessories
✓ Compatible with all cases from my test

Cons

✗ Slightly covers the display
✗ Still shows fingerprints
✗ Only half matte
✗ Doesn’t feel matte
✗ Stickers are too small

Conclusion

The matte screen protector from Benks covers the entire front, but unfortunately, slightly covers the display due to the black frame. There are more matte options available, as this one is only partially matte and doesn’t feel matte either. However, the display doesn’t get pixelated as a result.
