PET vs Tempered Glass
for custom screen protectors

PET is lighter, flexible and shatter-free; tempered glass is harder, more premium and more impact resistant. The right answer depends on failure mode, safety requirement, edge geometry and the cost of field replacement.

Decision summary

PET is lighter, flexible and shatter-free; tempered glass is harder, more premium and more impact resistant. The right answer depends on failure mode, safety requirement, edge geometry and the cost of field replacement. A good specification describes the trade-off explicitly rather than asking for the most premium-sounding option by default.
