5 Top Action Camera Protectors

An action camera protector protects your camera lens from cracks and scratches. Screen protectors provide protection from dust and scratches as well as damage from the elements.

Many are available in colorful designs that enhance the look and feel of your phone. However, the most important factor is that it’s made of tempered glass. Why?

Screen protectors made of tempered glass are much sturdier than those that aren’t. That’s because this type of glass is oil and scratch-resistant and can even enhance your user experience since your fingers can glide in a smoother motion over them.

In addition, they’re capable of preventing oily smudges and excessive fingerprints.

Why Use Lens & Screen Protectors?

The protection of your camera’s LCD screen is very important for preventing everything from dings to scratches. And, tempered optical-glass LCD screen protectors aren’t flimsy film (like some others) but an actual piece of non-bendable thin glass.

They’re also scratch and smudge-resistant as well as glue and adhesive-free, bubble-free, shatterproof, and touch/swivel-screen compatible. It’s important to note, however, that once the electrostatic-silicon-adsorption layer is attached to your LCD screen, adjusting it in any way can be extremely difficult if it isn’t properly aligned.

The glass lenses also have excellent optical quality.
