FAQ

Q. Why are Clear Diamond Screen Protectors better than other screen protectors on the market?

A. Clear Diamond Protection Plus+ Screen Protectors use the highest grade raw materials available to produce our quality protection films, giving optimum performance and protection to your screen. The Hard Coat surface uses proprietary nano technology to give long term anti-scratch and anti-bacterial performance, unequalled by other films on the market.

Q. Why is an Anti-Bacterial Coating important?

A. Prevention is better than a cure! Doctors worldwide are greatly concerned about pathogens and bacteria in general becoming more and more resistant to anti-biotics. Viruses and bacterial pathogens are a real threat with epidemics posing a huge risk to public health; outbreaks of Influenza, SARS and the Novo Virus have shown that cross-contamination is on the increase with poor hygiene being a primary cause. The surface treatment on Clear Diamond Protection Plus+ Screen Protectors kills a wide range of pathogens preventing surface colonisation of common bacteria including MRSA, E-Coli, Clostridium Botulinum and C-Difficile. Clear Diamond will not only protect the screen of your device, it will also protect you.

Q. The Anti-Glare Screen Protector I have fitted on my iPhone 5 is not glossy – is this right?

A. The Clear Diamond Screen Protector Anti-Glare range features a slightly matt finish which counteracts any excessive glare and reduces reflections on the screen.

Q. What do I need to do to prepare my screen before application?

A. Clean the screen of any visible dirt and dust; an optical wet wipe can be used for this purpose.
