Any recommendations for iPhone screen protectors that do not take away from the display? (lemmy.zip)

I've noticed that most commercially available glass screen protectors are too reflective, or too noticeable. It really takes away from the gorgeous Apple display.

Has anyone used a brand that mirrors the quality of finish that comes on the iPhone displays?

Screens usually crack due to force being applied at the edges since that's how phones usually fall. Screen protector might help against screen shattering entirely but the crack will easily make it's way regardless.

🤷 I dropped my previous phone with no screen protector, screen cracked. I dropped my current phone, screen protector cracked, screen is perfectly fine.

n=2, but enough for me to just keep a screen protector on at all times.

I submit my dozens of drops (I'm very clumsy) without screen protector as more of anecdotal evidence. I do use silicone case with raised edges. Had a cracked screen one time when it fell flat with screen hitting a small sharp rock. I'd say screen protector maybe could have saved it but I'm not convinced due to how unlucky that drop was.
