Just got the iPhone 18 Pro or 18 Pro Max? A good screen protector is the cheapest insurance for the most expensive part of your phone. The big question is which type to choose: clear, matte or privacy. Here's a simple guide, with the best iPhone 18 screen protectors available at Tech Street.
Clear Screen Protectors: Best Picture Quality
Clear tempered glass keeps your display looking exactly like it did out of the box. Choose this if you want the sharpest image.
- Decrypt Clear (18 Pro Max) — AED 89. Next-generation tempered glass, five times stronger than standard protectors, with high clarity and smooth touch.

- AMAZINGthing Radix Care Clear (18 Pro) — AED 99. Anti-fingerprint clear glass for the 18 Pro.
Privacy Screen Protectors: Keep Your Screen to Yourself
Privacy glass looks clear from the front but goes dark from the sides, so people next to you on the metro, in the office or at a café can't read your screen.
- Decrypt Privacy (18 Pro Max) — AED 99. 28° privacy angle, crystal-clear head-on and five times stronger than normal protectors.
- Decrypt Privacy (18 Pro) — AED 99. The same 28° privacy protection for the 18 Pro.

- AMAZINGthing Radix Care Matte (18 Pro Max) — AED 109. Matte tempered glass for the 18 Pro Max.
- AMAZINGthing Radix Care Matte (18 Pro) — AED 109. Matte tempered glass for the 18 Pro.
