Spigen EZ Fit Tempered Glass Screen Protector for iPhone 15 Pro

I compared four of these on paper before ordering, so the line I actually checked was "What 9H means". The page says Pencil hardness runs 6B to 9H, so 9H is simply the hardest graphite grade. It is not a mineral hardness, and that is what turned up. Alignment tray makes a straight fit almost automatic.

The page describes who this is for, and it described me: Anyone who wants a protector fitted straight the first time, with a spare in the box. On that basis it has been the right call. Alignment tray makes a straight fit almost automatic.

Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: 9H is pencil hardness and offers no protection against sand or grit. Oleophobic coating wears off within 6 to 12 months. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: Alignment tray makes a straight fit almost automatic. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.

Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Anyone expecting scratch immunity — sand and grit are harder than glass and will still mark it. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.

Had this most of a year now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. Two protectors per box, so a failed application is not a lost purchase. Still mildly irritated by one thing: 9H is pencil hardness and offers no protection against sand or grit. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.
