iPhone Series 7 Privacy Tempered Glass

Tempered Glass — what separates a good batch (iPhone Series 7 Privacy Tempered Glass)

Privacy film narrows the viewing angle with a micro-louvre layer; matte film scatters light to kill glare and prints. Edge-glue and full-glue sheets are indistinguishable on arrival; they diverge only after a few weeks of use. Sheets cut for iPhone Series 7 Privacy Tempered Glass are sized to the exact display radius, so the edge does not sit proud along the curved sides.

The install kit is not a courtesy: on a low-margin item, self-install failures are what erode the profit.

Specs and checks that matter

• Coating: An oleophobic layer handles fingerprints, and its durability is judged on a used sheet
• Finishes: Clear for the brightest image, matte for glare and prints, privacy for a narrowed viewing angle
• Thickness: 0.33 mm is the usual flush fit; a thicker sheet trades profile for impact resistance
• Hardness: 9H is a claim; real durability rests on the tempering process and the edge polish
• Adhesive: Full-coverage adhesive avoids the rainbow patches and lifting that edge-only glue develops

Buyer questions

Which finish should I stock first?

Start with clear for volume; add matte and privacy once the base line is moving.

Is everything in stock?

Core models are stocked; newer cuts go into production with a quoted lead time.

Is the hardness number real?

9H is a claim rather than a test result — what actually survives a pocket is edge-tempered glass, not a bigger number.

What is the install failure rate?

Bubbles are almost always dust, not the sheet — which is why the install kit and dust film are in every box.
