Tempered glass or hydrogel film — what is the difference?

Tempered glass (9H hardness) protects against drops and scratches and feels like the real screen under your finger. Hydrogel film is thinner and flexible, sits properly on a curved screen and heals surface scratches by itself — but it does not absorb impact. For most phones we recommend tempered glass.

Does a screen protector make the display worse?

No. A good protector has over 99% light transmission and an oleophobic coating that repels fingerprints. Colours and brightness stay the same.

Will a protector interfere with the fingerprint reader?

Tempered glass can slow down an in-display reader slightly. Hydrogel film works better with that technology. Tip: re-register your fingerprints after fitting the protector.

How often should a screen protector be replaced?

Replace it as soon as you see cracks or deep scratches — a cracked protector no longer protects properly. A good one typically lasts 6–12 months.

9H hardness that shrugs off keys

3mk HardGlass is tempered slowly at 420 °C, and that long heat treatment is where its 9H hardness comes from. Keys, coins and even a knife blade rattling around the same pocket stop being a threat to your screen. At just 0.3 mm thick, with edges rounded using 2.5D technology, it strengthens impact protection while sitting so flush that it feels like part of the display rather than something added to it.

Colours exactly as they were meant to look

The completely clear multi-layer structure reproduces colours without haze or shadow, and the components used to make the glass come from Japanese suppliers. Its properties stay the same for the whole service life – HardGlass does not yellow or lose its clarity. An oleophobic coating makes every swipe glide smoothly and pushes greasy marks, acids and other corrosive substances up to the surface, so a quick wipe is enough to clean them off.

A fitting you can take your time over

The non-adhesive Inviscid-Sil material lets you settle the glass into place calmly, and a protective layer on its upper side means you can lift it off and reapply it if needed. Increased density and adhesion reduce the chance of micro-cracks forming between the glass and the screen, while touch sensitivity right to the edges stays as precise as it is with no protector at all. Those properties survive transport and storage unchanged, and the production process meets standards requirements without harming the environment.
