My grandmother had it (so I might be predisposed for it) yet I spend all day in front of computers these days. Macular degeneration is the leading cause of permanent vision loss in people over 60. Blue light not only disrupts your body’s natural sleep cycle, it has been linked to cataracts and macular degeneration. This screen protector also incorporates something called VisionGuard, which is a layer that blocks high energy blue light which is generated by electronic displays like phone and computer screens. It doesn’t interfere with fingerprint recognition, either. This one isn’t any thicker than other screen protectors I’ve used, but it feels like glass. I really like that because I’ve had rigid glass screen protectors and they always break and you have to replace them. The ZAGG website says that it is military grade protection that uses a glass hybrid that is flexible, which I didn’t expect. D3O hardens on impact and is usually used in conjunction with other materials, giving whatever it is used with an extra boost of protection.

They use it in bulletproof vests, helmets, kneepads, and apparently, screen protectors. D3O is a brand of material that dissipates and absorbs impacts from whatever small disaster might befall your latest overly expensive gadget. This screen protector is the top of the line from ZAGG and protects the phone with something called D3O. It has a blue light filter that helps protect you from eye strain, it has an anti-microbial treatment that inhibits the growth of bacteria and it is scratch, smudge and impact resistant. The Zagg InvisibleShield Glassfusion VisionGuard+ with D3O (which I will refer to as “the screen protector” after this because that’s a lot of words) is a fancy screen protector that has a number of very useful attributes.
