Spigen has an excellent reputation for quality and brand image. In my test of six screen protectors for the iPhone 18 Pro, Spigen really did have the most pleasant installation. In the hardness test, though, it failed.
Price and Packaging
Two protectors cost about $13 on sale, normally about $21. That’s $7 to $10 per protector, which isn’t exactly cheap for glass without a black frame. The packaging is a minus, since it contains a lot of plastic. If that matters to you, you won’t like it.
What’s in the Box
Spigen is the only brand that includes two alignment trays, even though you only need one. There’s also a squeegee, wipes and the big plus: a large dust-removal sticker. It picks up far more dust in one pass than the small stickers from the other brands. I should have opened the Spigen box first, then I could have used that sticker for every protector.
Installation
The method is a little different from the others. Place the glass with „Top“ facing up, then peel off the backing film first. I forgot that on my first try. Then press down and, according to the instructions, wait about 30 seconds for the glass to settle. The result was excellent, without a single air bubble in the middle. Press the edge down briefly, and you’re done.
Fit and Look
The Spigen has no black frame and is a little smaller than the other protectors, so the gaps to the display edge are fairly wide. You can see the hard edge in the light, where a black frame would have hidden it. Size-wise, it matches the JETech exactly. Face ID works, and every case from my test of iPhone 18 Pro cases fits.
The Hardness Test
Spigen doesn’t promise Japanese glass or Corning, so I didn’t expect miracles. The box cutter left nothing. With the tile I didn’t even have to press, because simply gliding over it left clear scratches.
The Bend Test
When bent, the Spigen broke, just like the Belkin and Torras. Here too, you can see that the difference isn’t only in the price but in the quality of the glass. Only the ROXX and ESR held up.
Verdict
The Spigen scores with the most relaxed installation in the test, a big dust sticker and two alignment trays. On protection it fails, though, with instant scratches, a break when bent and no black frame. If an easy installation is what you’re after, this is the one. If you want a tough protector, take a look at my head-to-head test of iPhone 18 Pro screen protectors.
