Screen Protection Worthy of Your Phone
I remember the last so-called screen protector I used on my phone. It was one of those flimsy plastic cling things that came with my phone case for free. I figured I had it, I might as well use it. That thing brought me nothing but frustration as I could always see little air bubbles underneath it. No matter how hard I worked at them, they never disappeared. After a month or so of dealing with it I tore it off and threw it away, forever swearing off screen protectors.
But maybe I’ve been a bit hasty. I’m still using my orange case from Jackery so I have portable battery power whenever I need it, but it doesn’t do anything to protect my screen. If you’ve never broken a screen, be prepared to shell out a couple hundred dollars to have it replaced. So anything I can do to lessen the chance of that happening I’m all for. Somehow I don’t think those previously-mentioned plastic protectors help at all, but I have found something very different that I’ve been using for the past week or two.
There’s this new company called IntelliArmor which is making a product that has forever changed my perception of what a screen protector should do, and what the quality should be. Their latest offering, IntelliGlass, is exactly what the name sounds like – a special glass screen protection system. Everything you’ll need to install this onto your phone is included in the minimalistic retail packaging – the cover, an alcohol prep pad to clean and prepare your old screen, a sticky pad to get even more of those stubborn dust bunnies off your phone and even a couple color-coordinated 3D stickers to place over your home button so it isn’t recessed once the new cover is in place.
The first thing that stood out to me was the sheer clarity of the cover. I’m so used to the satin-ish plastic covers that I found it hard to believe this was an actual screen protector. The IntelliGlass uses an advanced silicone adhesion system that yielded ZERO bubbles. Of course, proper preparation of the surface is necessary to remove any fingerprints, dirt, dust and the like. The included instructions reminded me to do it, and diligently!
And it worked. I cleaned it twice and easily laid the glass piece over the screen and it stuck in place right away. While it does offer protection from scratches getting to your screen, it is a softer outer layer that will scratch a bit more easily than your normal phone glass. The trade-off is worth it though, this new surface almost completely repels fingerprints! As I sit here and look at my phone after carrying it around for a week in my pocket, there’s not a single smudge in sight.
Like I mentioned before, I have the inner case from our Jackery battery system as my primary phone cover. All cases must be a little thicker than the phone to grab on and keep the phone from falling out. This IntelliGlass screen protector is so thin, that it doesn’t even protrude beyond my old case!
THIS is what a screen protector should be. Ultra-hardened real glass that is optically clear and fingerprint resistant. IntelliArmor has models for all iPhones and iPads, as well as most of the popular Android phones. What’s even better is they typically run just under $13 on Amazon! Just a ‘little’ bit less than replacing that screen.
How easy is it to install? So easy that anyone can do it in a few minutes. Don’t believe me, just check this out.
IntelliArmor is so excited to get this product into more hands, they have offered to give one away to a lucky US or Canadian reader of SahmReviews.com!

Agood phone screen is very important. I have had some sucky ones in my day!
Sweet, I like the features on these and I need a new screen. We pay so much for our phones, we need to protect them!
No more finger prints? SOLD. That is always one of my biggest pet peeves.
This is so great! My phone has one of those peel and stick protective covers on it, and I hate it. I still haven’t successfully gotten all the air bubbles out of it.
I just got an iPhone, and I’ve been looking for a good screen protector. This looks like the winner!
This is awesome! I always end up with smudges and fingerprints all over my screen – I’ll have to check this out!
I’m so glad to see those horrible peel and stick covers are becoming a thing of the past. Have you ever tried to put one of those things on? It’s the most frustrating thing in the world!
I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about IntelliGlass and I really love the concept of a more permanent screen protector- I have to replace mine almost once a month. The installation looks impressively simply and flaw-free too!
I need one of these for my new phone! I upgraded recently and I’m always scared I’m going to damage the screen.
I had a glass screen protector on my last phone and I loved it. LOVED it. Unfortunately, I haven’t found one for my Note 4 yet because of some weird curving it does. I can’t wait until someone comes up with one though. I am going to see if this company does!
i love that this product is smudge proof.my kids get tons of nastiness on my phone daily!
This sounds like a great screen cover the little bubbles drive me crazy. Nice review. Thank you for sharing.
I don’t have a smartphone but my kids do although I’ve put screen protectors on my iPod Touch and I hate those unsightly bubbles!
Now that is an awesome price for a screen protector! Mine cost me a lot more! IT’s a good one, but sheesh it was pricey. I’d much rather try this one next time.
This is very cool technology! It reminds me that I actually need to clean my screen and replace my cover.
I usually get all kinds of bubbles when I apply a screen protector. That looked pretty easy and you did not get bubbles. I entered but if I do not win I will check these out.
I need one of these, I wonder if it fits on my iPhone and in my Otterbox.
A good screen protector is worth every single penny! I love no finger prints too!
This is something my husband needs! He has done such a bang up job to his screen, it’s so expensive and crazy! He’s also run it over with an ambulance. I wonder if it can help with that?? Prob not, huh? 😉
I just own a plain cell phone-no bells and whistles. I barely use it! But for everyone who does this sounds like a marvelous invention which not only protects your phone but also your eyes! It really isn’t good to try and see through bubbles, smudges etc.!
Anything that helps protect my device from little fingers is a great idea to me!
I cracked my phone two weeks after I got it. I was so depressed! I should have invested in something like this prior to purchasing my phone :((
I can’t stand fingerprints! It gives me a condition! I need this!
My daughter recently got a new phone. I am not sure if she got screen protectors for it or not. I will have to show her this, just in case.
I will have to check this out. I haven’t had a screen protector in a while for the same reasons.
Greta tips! I have so many smudges on my phone right now 😡
I need that so I don’t get makeup all over my phone. That is my biggest culprit moreso than fingerprints.
I so need this, my toddler loves playing with my phone.
This is awesome because I hate fingerprints on my phone. I’m constantly wiping it down with a soft cloth.
My iPhone 5!
This looks like an awesome phone protector.
The no more fingerprints is an awesome feature! I have two little toddlers who are way too touch happy
My Samsung Galaxy s5
I totally need to get me one of these! I have 2 bubbles on my Samsung Galaxy S5 screen protector and it drives me crazy every time I look at it.
This looks like a great option for screen protectors. I typically shy away from using them bc I hate the bubbles and dullness of the screen. I will check this one out though!
With two young kids and tons of devices, I definitely need this. Thanks for sharing and making this giveaway open to Canadians.

Oh yeah, I totally need this with all the little fingers touching mommy’s phone all the time. lol. Thanks for offering the giveaway too! I would use this for my new phone coming – probably an iphone 6. My current phone has a cracked screen so no use in using it on that.
this may be a good case to have – i’m always getting thumbprints on mine 😀
I am impressed with the screen protector that you reviewed. I hate those plastic protectors as well.
Didn’t even know it was possible for a screen protector to ward away fingerprints! That’s really cool. Thanks for sharing the info, and the giveaway!
I cannot see the screen without a decent screen protector. I’m exaggerating of course, but even a speck of dust on the screen is very distracting to me.
I need to keep my iPhone 5s protected!
I actually had the intelliarmor on my htc but after taking it off to reapply after a corner came up it lost adhesion around all edges
I tried out the IntelliArmor’s screen protector and loved it – easy intallation, no smudges, very smooth, very responsive to finger swipes. I couldn’t even tell it was there. I love this screen protector!
