InvisibleShield Glass Elite+ Screen Protector - Apple iPhone 12 / 12 Pro / 11 - Open Box

ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass Elite+ — screen protection built for shared hostel outlets and grimy phones on the road

The gist: An aluminosilicate glass screen protector for iPhone 12 / 12 Pro / 11 with antimicrobial and anti-fingerprint coatings, useful for travelers whose phones get handled constantly in transit.

• Ion-exchange strengthened glass: Aluminosilicate glass with reinforced edges resists the drops and scratches that come from tossing a phone into a daypack or hostel locker.
• Antimicrobial coating: Built to inhibit odor-causing bacteria and microbial growth on the screen surface — a real plus for a device that gets passed around at hostels, tour groups, and shared taxis.
• ClearPrint fingerprint dispersal: Spreads finger oils across the surface instead of leaving visible smudges, useful when you're using your phone constantly for maps and photos.
• Includes an install tool: The bundled applicator helps get a bubble-free fit without a repair shop visit — handy mid-trip.

Techlicious reported that ZAGG's Kastus antimicrobial coating showed in independent lab tests that it killed up to 95% of coronavirus after 30 minutes of contact and 99.99% of common surface bacteria, though such coatings reduce germs on the glass surface rather than eliminating all contamination risk.

Best for: frequent travelers who want extra drop protection and a more hygienic screen surface. Skip it if: you already have a case with built-in screen coverage — this is a standalone upgrade, not a case replacement. Runs ~$25-35 — check the current price before buying.
