Spigen Steinheil Ultra Nano Clear Screen Protector ($14)Spigen’s Ultra Nano isn’t the most heavy-duty screen protector out there, but it looks great and doesn’t dramatically interfere with touch-screen responsiveness. Like many screen protectors on the market, the 50-micron thick strip is hard coated with anti-UV ray protection to help deter electromagnetic rays and protect your screen from the various woes it will surely encounter.
