Having used ZAGG screen protectors for over a decade, it seemed like a no brainer to stick with ZAGG for the 17 Pro Max….I was wrong. The dimensions of the screen protector are short on every side. As a result, there is light bleeding out of every side. After contacting ZAGG about the problem, they informed me that “Our screen protection products are designed to be case friendly with a wide variety of case manufacturers, as such the item is cut short on all sides so it does not interfere with the case products.”. While this may be a valid excuse when talking about not covering the very edges of the screen’s glass, this excuse doesn’t hold when the screen protector has been cut so short that it now doesn’t cover all of the active screen area. Besides, no one is putting a case on their phone that wraps around the front of the glass and covers active areas of the screen. Overall, extremely poor product design - stay away from ZAGG screen protectors for this iPhone generation.

High-quality screen protector

I’ve always been a little hesitant to use cases and screen protectors on my phones because I feel as though the phone was built strong enough to stand on its own. That said, I’ve seen plenty of cases where both protective accessories were absolutely necessary. Still, I always want something like that to serve multiple purposes. That’s why I like the privacy screen protectors like this one.
For me the most infuriating part of using a screen protector is the installation. ZAGG has made that part quite easy with their PerfectFit installation box that comes with the screen protector. I do recommend cleaning your phone’s screen thoroughly before pulling the pull-tab back. Installing this screen protector was one of the easiest things I’ve ever walked through.
Surprisingly enough, I didn’t have any issues with the installation. Because this is a dark screen protector, I did notice that it darkened the brightness of my phone slightly, but I can still read things on my screen fine. The screen is still very responsive to regular touch commands and while some people might have issues with it, I haven’t noticed any scratches on the screen protector yet.
This is a high-quality screen protector with simple installation. It runs about the same as some solid cases, but it feels worth it once you see how well it’s made. It’s the kind of accessory that feels built to match the quality of the phone it’s protecting, not just cover it.

I've always had a glass screen protector on my phones ever since they first started coming out with them. Much easier to install, more durable and offer better protection than the older PET film type. However I've always used the clear ones and never thought about the privacy ones.
Previously, I tried the privacy tinted screen protectors but found them to be too dim for normal use. I had them on much older iPhones and the film type, not the glass ones mind you. However, with my 17 Pro Max, I figured a change would be nice so I decided to try out the privacy ones on my new phone.
As with glass screen protector, this one went on super easy. The kit comes with an easy apply setup so all you need to do it line up your phone, pull the paper sleeve and it installs in a jiffy.
I guess with the newer technology or the fact that it's glass, the dimness I had encountered with previous ones was gone. There is some dimness to the screen with this on but not nearly as bad as it was before. The added privacy with this on is quite nice. From most normal viewing angles, everything is clear and easy to see. But just when you move the angle a touch, that's when the privacy kicks in which is great. I'm actually liking this setup much more than with the clear protector.

I recently picked up the ZAGG Four-Way Privacy Glass Screen Protector for my iPhone 17 Pro Max, and it’s easily one of the best accessories I’ve purchased. The four-way privacy feature is outstanding — no matter which angle someone tries to peek from, the screen stays completely private. It gives me peace of mind when I’m out in public or at work.
The glass feels premium, super smooth to the touch, and it doesn’t affect screen clarity or touch sensitivity at all. Installation was simple, and once it was on, the fit was perfect with no bubbles. It also does a great job protecting against fingerprints and smudges.
If you want top-tier privacy and strong protection for your iPhone 17 Pro Max, this screen protector is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

I want to start off by saying that this screen protector is phenomenal for what it’s meant to do, but I do have some minor issues with it.
1.) If you have to use QR codes frequently for work or personal reasons, expect have some issues with scanners getting a good read on it. Usually maxing out brightness and playing with positioning helps.
2.) I noticed that since this is a privacy screen you are able to notice any deep scratches you get over time. That being said it doesn’t remove the privacy portion of the screen all that much.
Now would I recommend this screen protector? Well, if you care about privacy either for work or personal matter and money isn’t an issue then yes, but if you can’t spare the extra change then I think you can save difference and get their normal 2 sided privacy screen over this 4 way privacy screen.

If you enjoy random strangers reading your texts over your shoulder, don’t buy this. But if you prefer a little privacy and not broadcasting your group chat drama to the entire Starbucks, this screen protector is your new best friend. The 4-way privacy thing actually works — I tested it on purpose, made eye contact with the guy next to me, tilted my phone, and watched him see nothing. Felt powerful.
Yeah it’s kinda expensive, but so is replacing your iPhone screen after one clumsy drop. Installation was idiot-proof thanks to the tray, and it feels super smooth. Only downside? The screen’s a tiny bit darker, but honestly, it just adds to my mysterious, “don’t talk to me, I’m busy being important” vibe.

Premium protector while keeping my privacy

I use my phone all day long including in public places and I need to keep my privacy intact and this screen does a great job on letting me see my phone clearly without anybody else seeing my information and it also keeps my phone protected.
This is not my first product from ZAGG, I get a protector for every phone I own and I often sell it with it too, it makes it a good selling point.
Not only do I get the screen protector I also get other ZAGG products like the cases that look amazing and protect my phone too.
I drop my phone a lot and having an added protection is a must for me and this screen does that as well as keeping my screen private.
It is easy to install especially because the box makes it easier to do so.
I can use my fingerprint to unlock my phone and I do not see my fingerprints on the screen so that is a plus.
It fits perfectly and I am happy with it, I will keep coming back to ZAGG because it keeps my phone protected and private. It keeps my phone looking great and scratch free.

First time trying this screen protector brand after hearing so many positive things. After buying lots of cheap screen protectors, I decided to spend a little more this time around.
I got this screen protector mainly due its 4 way privacy…it really does work. The angle to which it starts to hide your screen from others is superb, pretty much only you can see your screen unless someone literally has their head on your shoulder.
The install was so easy I thought I messed up initially using the case block it comes with to install your screen protector.
Haven’t had a incident where it tested the durability of the screen protector yet, but I heard this brand has a great reputation with durability and offers a generous lifetime replacement, especially if you buy from Best Buy.

Scratches very easily. The lifetime warranty is really good though.
The privacy is good too, but sometimes I wonder if I'm getting all the light through to my eyes.

A Must for Privacy and Protection!!!

A must have for privacy and protection. This not only protects the phone from unwanted scratches and damage, but it also protects you from unwanted nosy people around you looking at what you are doing on your phone. Those around you cannot see the screen and what you are watching or texting. A must for those corporate or "government" work environments where any sensitive person can get there feelings hurt for no reason looking at your phone.... when they should have been minding there own business. Get this privacy screen protector and then they cannot see anything!!

It does what it supposed to, feels good, and has performed as expected.
The big issue is the missed mark on the coverage. The protector is significantly smaller than the screen. So the light bleed from the edges is painfully obvious and very distracting at night.
