Screen Protectors

Why a Screen Protector Can Change Touch Response

A screen protector can leave a phone looking perfectly normal while making taps, swipes, or typing feel slightly less reliable. You may need to press more deliberately, a keyboard may miss occasional letters, or touches near an edge may stop registering as easily as before. The protector does not normally work by physically pressing a button beneath the glass. Modern phone touchscreens usually detect changes in an electrical field near the surface. Adding another layer between your finger and that sensing system can weaken or alter the signal the touchscreen receives.
