1. Screen Protection or Glass Protection. 

Screen protection is essential of the phone because it is disturb with the scratches and making the display look dull and awkward. Therefore, companies researched and made glass protection. The two most common and effective companies are Corning Gorilla Glass & Dragontrail glass.

  • Thickness becomes thin range between 0.4 mm to 2 mm (based on the version specs).
  •  Outstanding surface quality.
  • Optical clarity becomes very clear, precision of 99.9%
  • Touch Screen Compatible (It is obvious).
  • Some kind of water repellent.

Dragontrail Glass: It is manufactured by Asahi Glass Co., is an alkali-aluminosilicate sheet glass engineered for a combination of thinness, lightness and damage-resistance, similar to the Corning's Gorilla Glass. The material's primary properties are its strength, allowing thin glass without fragility; its high scratch resistance; and its hardness - with a Vickers hardness test rating of 595 to 673. The latest dragontrail glass is AGC Dragontrail Glass.
