What are the best screen protectors for smartphones?

Pros

Pro
Easy to apply

As soon as the protector hits the screen, it squeezes all the bubbles out on its own.

Pro
Comes with accessories

Included in the package are a couple of different tools to ease the installation process such as an anti-static tape and cleaning cloth.

Pro
Relatively inexpensive

Nillkin offers some of the most inexpensive tampered glass screen protectors, with some models even retailing for less than $10.

Cons

Con
Very limited choice of devices

Nillkin does not have many different tampered glass screen protectors available. Most high-end and popular devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S and iPhone series are available, but the assortment is limited for other phones.

Con
Adds noticeable thickness

The Nillkin 9H adds some thickness to your device. Although this doesn't alter the user experience, it is noticeable and might conflict when using with some more compact cases.

Con
Protector will most likely shatter in the event of a drop

Glass screen protectors tend to shatter when a phone is dropped from a significant distance, effectively sacrificing itself in order to protect the display. Although this does absorb most of the impact and will likely save your display, a new screen protector will have to be applied.
