Belkin ScreenForce TemperedGlass Treated — iPhone 11 and iPhone XR
9H pencil hardnessHigh-quality Japanese glass0.33 mm — three sheets of paperEasy Align tray included
The Belkin ScreenForce TemperedGlass Treated protector (part number F8W948ZZ-AM) is made from high-quality Japanese glass and rated 9H on the pencil-hardness scale — the top of the practical scratch scale. At 0.33 mm, about the thickness of three sheets of paper, it preserves the native touch response rather than adding the vague, slightly delayed feel a thick protector gives. Belkin puts the design through a 20-point testing process: impact, chemicals, heat, scratch, drop, tumble and fit, with the edges verified to be as strong as the centre — which is where protectors usually chip first. An anti-fingerprint and oil-resistant coating keeps it clear, and an anti-microbial coating protects the protector itself from the discoloration and degradation microbial growth causes. An Easy Align tray is in the box, and the packaging is 100% recycled plastic.
Compatibility — check before buying:
Cut for the iPhone 11 and iPhone XR. Belkin cuts a separate part for each iPhone screen size; the InvisiGlass Ultra range covers the same models with a stronger glass. Screen protectors are cut to the millimetre, so check your exact model in Settings → General → About before ordering. Full-screen coverage, designed to work with iPhone cases — a case seats over it rather than catching the edge. The Easy Align tray positions the glass before it touches the screen, which is the whole difficulty of fitting one at home.
Best For
✓ iPhone 11 and iPhone XR owners who want glass rather than plastic film
✓ Anyone who carries the phone loose with keys or coins
✓ People who want the screen to feel unchanged under the thumb
✓ Users applying a protector themselves and wanting it straight
✓ Anyone replacing a chipped or scratched protector
✓ Buyers who value clarity as much as hardness
Key Features
Japanese glass at 9H
High-quality Japanese tempered glass rather than generic stock, rated 9H — the practical top of the scratch scale, which covers keys, coins and sand.
0.33 mm keeps the touch native
Thin enough that the screen responds as it does bare. A thick protector costs you touch accuracy long before it costs you clarity, and on a modern iPhone that is immediately noticeable.
Tested at the edges, not just the middle
Belkin’s 20-point process covers impact, chemicals, heat, scratch, drop, tumble and fit, and verifies the edges are as strong as the centre. Protectors chip at the corner first.
Anti-fingerprint and anti-microbial
An oil-resistant coating keeps smudges manageable, and an anti-microbial treatment protects the protector from the discoloration and degradation microbial growth causes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 9H a meaningful rating?
Yes, when it is tested. It is the pencil-hardness scale, and at 9H the glass resists anything softer than it — which covers the keys, coins and grit that actually scratch phones.
Will it change how the screen feels?
No. At 0.33 mm — roughly three sheets of paper — the touch response stays native. That is the practical difference between a good glass protector and a cheap thick one.
Can I fit it myself?
Yes. An Easy Align tray is included, which holds the glass in position over the phone before it makes contact, so it lands square and bubble-free.
What does the anti-microbial coating do?
It protects the protector from microbial growth, which is what causes discoloration and degradation over time. It is a claim about the product, not about the user.
Singular Expert Insight
Every glass protector claims 9H, so the number is not where the decision is. Two things separate them in practice. The first is thickness: at 0.33 mm the screen still responds like the bare panel, and anything appreciably thicker introduces a lag you notice within a day. The second is edge strength — protectors almost never break in the middle, they chip at a corner and then travel, which is why Belkin testing the edges specifically is worth more than the headline hardness. The Easy Align tray is the third thing: it is the difference between a clean fit and a bubble you look at for a year. See our

Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
You want tested Japanese tempered glass on a iPhone 11 / XR that leaves the touchscreen feeling unchanged, and you will fit it yourself.
Skip it if
You want a privacy filter to stop people reading the screen from the side — the InvisiGlass Privacy range does that instead.
Also consider
A case, which covers the edges the glass cannot, and a microfibre cloth for the clean-down before application.
