Hey,
Hey, I had the same experience last year when I tried the Shelltus with my 13 Pro. It cracked within two weeks from a very light bump. I didn’t bother with a second one and just went back to no screen protector.
Fully agree. Also the installation process is awful and you can easily screw up the application. For the price, this is just a bad idea all around. Cracks way too easily. Unless you have a case that has a lip that will protect the screen protector, as soon as you drop it it’ll become as useless as a $1 Amazon screen protector. The cool to touch is over sold.
I have been using shellrus sapphire screnn protector for my iPhone 12 pro for the past 2 years.
First month of using it, it had a small crack. Contacted customer services they gave me 65% copoun code for the next screen protector. bought another screen protector to put it on my iPhone. It was also cracked. the screen is very scratch proof. but it is very fragile. so the
80$ price tag is not worth it.

I did some reason on the sapphire screen protector and found that given the price, I could get 10 normal ones and sometimes more if I use the warranty on them

That’s the problem in general with displays that a lot of folks don’t understand. Sapphire is more brittle but has better scratch resistance than glass. Glass is more “flexible” but has worse scratch resistance. That’s why there’s a lot coatings or hybrid materials similarly to what Apple and Corning use.
Everyone wants it all and for cheap but the manufacturer isn’t
there yet.

Glass screen protectors are great if you never drop your phone but not everyone can manage that.
Myself, I use anti-glare film screen protectors because I hate fingerprints and scratches. My 13 Pro screen looked like it was mauled by a panther.

Our story begins with the iPhone 6. That was the model that Apple hoped to create with pure sapphire touchscreens.
Apple had been using sapphire for years already — but for camera lenses and fingerprint sensors. Never for a surface so large.
Cutting sapphire crystal into dimensions large enough to cover an entire iPhone screen was an enormous engineering challenge, but the goal was worth it — an iPhone screen that was nearly impossible to scratch.
After all, sapphire is one of the hardest gemstones to scratch on the planet. Diamonds are one of the few minerals that are even harder, but diamond touchscreens can be a little expensive — even for Apple.
And so growing and cutting synthetic sapphire seemed like the perfect option. Not only is sapphire hard to leave a scratch on, but it's far denser than glass and dissipates heat much faster. The result is that sapphire feels cool and smooth to the touch — something that matters when you touch your phone as often as most of us do.
To make a long story short, Apple's designated supplier wasn't able to surmount all of the obstacles needed to engineer sapphire at scale.
And a little later, we were able to purchase the very same furnaces that once were meant to create iPhone screens.
More importantly, we were just crazy enough to pick up where our predecessors left off.
It wasn't easy, but thanks to some talented engineers — as well as perseverance and a little old fashioned luck — we're finally able to bring you the Sapphire X and other products you see on our site today.
It only took us about 5 years to figure out.
But what's a little time when you have the honor of being inspired by one of the toughest, most beautiful gemstones on the planet? To pair that honor with our deep love for all things iPhone just made the many unique challenges we faced all the more worth it.
Today, we're proud to bring you full 99.99% pure synthetic sapphire, and hope you enjoy the beauty and strength of these special crystals as much as we enjoy sharing them with you.
