What is Hybrid Polymer and how is it different from tempered glass?
Hybrid Polymer is X.One's proprietary flexible screen protector material that uses Impact Fusion™ Technology to absorb and disperse impact energy across the surface. Unlike tempered glass, it will not crack, shatter, or leave sharp shards on impact. Tempered glass transfers impact force to a single point and breaks — Hybrid Polymer bends and absorbs, then returns to its original shape.
Will the Hybrid Polymer screen protector feel like glass?
Yes. The 5th Generation Hybrid Polymer has a 40% smoother surface than previous generations, engineered to replicate the feel of glass under your fingertip. Swipe sensitivity and touch response are identical to the bare screen.
Is the Hybrid Polymer compatible with Face ID and under-display features?
Yes. The Hybrid Polymer screen protector is fully compatible with Face ID on all iPhone models. The optical clarity ensures Face ID infrared sensors are not blocked. It is also compatible with ProMotion 120Hz displays on Pro models.
What scratch resistance does the Hybrid Polymer provide?
The 5th Generation Hybrid Polymer has 30% improved scratch resistance over previous generations, with an 8H surface hardness coating. Keys, coins, and everyday sharp objects will not scratch the surface under normal use conditions.
Does the Hybrid Polymer leave residue or air bubbles after installation?
No. The Hybrid Polymer uses a self-adhesive silicone layer that bonds cleanly to the screen without trapping air. Any small bubbles present during installation will naturally disappear within 24–48 hours. The included installer kit makes alignment straightforward.
How long does the Hybrid Polymer last?
With normal daily use, the Hybrid Polymer screen protector maintains its protective properties and surface clarity for 12–18 months. The impact absorption capability does not degrade with normal use, unlike tempered glass which must be replaced after any significant impact.
Which iPhone models is the Hybrid Polymer Clear HD compatible with?
The Hybrid Polymer Clear HD screen protector is available for iPhone 12 through iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air. Select your exact model above to ensure the correct size and cutout for your device's notch, Dynamic Island, or action button.
