Best Samsung Galaxy S25 screen protector picks in Australia

It’s easy to get lost in the weeds of smartphone accessories, with a range of wireless earbuds and over-ear headphones. But there are two critical accessories to protect your new smartphone investment: a case and a screen protector. And not necessarily in that order. In terms of budget, you can spend under $20 on a mobile phone screen protector or $50+.

While online retailers like Amazon are packed with sub-$20 screen protectors for the Samsung Galaxy S25, S25 Plus and S25 Ultra, it’s also worth considering pricier alternatives. What they lack in cheapness they make up for with premium considerations, from easy protector application and beyond-tempered glass toughness to privacy and anti-glare considerations. All of our screen protector picks are available for the full Samsung Galaxy S25 range.

Before you scroll on for our picks of the best Samsung Galaxy S25 screen protectors, here’s a list of today’s most popular mobile plans from our database.

Tempered glass is a popular material choice when it comes to screen protectors. But aluminosilicate screen protectors reportedly do a better job. Take the Otterbox Premium Glass, for instance. Primarily, it’s built to protect against scratches and splinters, with a 9H surface hardness rating. Practically speaking, it’s rated to protect screens from drops up to 0.9 metres.

But the screen protector material is also designed to preserve the display quality of the Samsung Galaxy S25 all while deterring fingerprints. You also shouldn’t have any issues with touchscreen responsiveness, which is important. We also appreciate that the Otterbox screen protector is built from 60% recycled materials, and like that it comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

If you want the cheapest of the cheap screen protectors, check out the Amazon alternatives below. But we’re hopeful that $30 RRP isn’t a bridge too far for your $1,300+ Galaxy S25 smartphone investment. There’s more to like about the Cygnett Glass Shield Protector than the comparative price and the all-important scratch and bump protection afforded by its tempered glass construction.

It’s great that this budget screen protector includes an easy-application kit, including anti-dust stickers, an alcohol wipe, and a cleaning cloth. The real shining star, though, is the easy-apply tray that should lead to a well-aligned bubble-free screen protector. Cygnett backs its quality, too, because this screen protector comes with a two-year warranty.

The primary role of a screen protector is in the name: defending the all-important display against bumps and drops. You’ll get that with the flexible hybrid polymer base of the Zagg Fusion Privacy Anti-Glare screen protection. That screen protection is also easy to apply thanks to an included easy-application kit.

What we like most about this Zagg screen protector, though, is it offers more than just basic protection. For starters, it should be Aussie sun-friendly, thanks to a matte finish that reduces glare. But arguably the better use of that matte finish is it also offers side-view privacy protection while using the phone in portrait mode.

The big selling point of the Belkin ScreenForce InvisiGlass is edge-to-edge protection, albeit minus a tiny gap up top for the front camera. Applying this screen protector should be relatively straightforward thanks to an included alignment tray. With Belkin screen protector applied, it defends against drops, bumps and fingerprints while looking like you aren’t using a protector.

There are nicer additions, too, like the aluminosilicate protector material that’s rated as at least 62% stronger than its tempered glass peers. Speaking of percentages, it’s also made of 60% recycled glass. Plus, there’s a coating that deters discolouration, smudges and fingerprints. To top it all off, Belkin also offers a limited lifetime warranty for this screen protector.

As far as Amazon is concerned, screen protectors are typically sold with multiple per pack, which isn’t the case for the options above. Cue the entry of the RepairMart Hydrogel Screen Protector. You can save money by opting for a single-pack hydrogel screen protector with a basic membrane. Alternatively, spend more on a two-pack of basic or high-grade membrane screen protectors.

Whichever you choose, expect a Samsung Galaxy S25 screen protector that defends against scratches and deters fingerprints. Hydrogel feels different to the more glass-like screen protectors, but it should preserve touchscreen sensitivity. More impressively, this RepairMart screen protector claims to self-heal minor scratches.

As is the case with a Samsung Galaxy S25 case, the first step is to ensure you’re looking at screen protectors that are built for your specific model: base S25, S25 Plus or S25 Ultra. From there, set your budget range. It’s possible to grab a budget screen protector for under $20. But it may be worth spending more to access different materials or features.

In terms of different materials, tempered glass screen protectors are popular but there are newer technologies, too. Aluminosilicate, for instance, offers extra durability, while hydrogel screens feel different and may offer features like self-healing of minor scratches.

Most of the screen protectors we found are sold individually, but there are two-pack or three-pack alternatives if you want a backup. You should be less inclined to need a backup with a quality screen protector, though. Additionally, either use the tray in your S25 phone box or pick a screen protector that comes with an easy-applicator kit to help find that perfect bubble-free fit.
