The 7 best iPhone 17 screen protectors, including one that comes with its own little squeegee

We’ve all been there: applying a screen protector to a prized device, and that stray bubble caught below the plastic just will not move to the edge and escape. It can be so frustrating. If you recently picked up the new iPhone 17 and are hunting for the best screen protector for your new device, then one of the following options might be the right fit for you. As for the pesky stray bubble tormenting you beneath your brand-new screen protector, Johnny Kim, a technician from New York Computer Help, has a few tips.

“When it comes to installing screen protectors on your device, quality and type of protector really make all the difference,” says Kim. “By and large, most screen protectors on the market are made from glass or plastic; glass is almost always easier to install, and plastic screen protectors are the culprit behind the majority of the bubbles and wonky wrinkles.”

What’s the best way to install a screen protector on your phone?

Overall, Kim recommends picking up a glass screen protector to avoid the hassle of a bubbly install (especially for first-time screen protector buyers). If you have to spring for plastic, though, Kim recommends following the instructions as closely as possible or heading to your local phone repair shop and having an expert install it for a low fee.

Kim also says the best screen protector for your phone is most likely the one made by your phone’s manufacturer. “If that’s not an option, there aren’t a ton of well-known brands on the market, and it’s best to go off-screen protectors that have a significant amount of positive reviews,” he adds.

One of our editors also highly recommends the Spigen screen protector, which comes with an adorable little squeegee to help you iron out all those annoying bubbles.

Finally, don’t forget about scratchgate. Because the new iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max scratch so easily, you’ll want to pair your screen protector with one of the best iPhone 17 Pro cases as well. With all that in mind, here are some of the best screen protectors for your new iPhone 17.

This three-pack of screens rings in at such a lower price point than some of the aforementioned cases. A true budget option, especially if you want a pack of multiple protectors. The reason for the lower cost, though, is that these protectors are made of PET, which is, in fact, plastic. The install might be a little hard to execute with precision compared to some of the above options, but that price point is hard to beat.
