But if you’re not interested in any of those, don’t worry, you won’t be left out in the cold. There are more ESR Gear deals to be had, and we’re just as excited about these. Like the other deals, some of these mobile accessories are already discounted but you can save an extra 10% on top with an exclusive coupon code. Just be warned, all coupon codes expire December 25th, so don’t waste too much time window shopping if you’re interested.

ESR Armorite screen protector — $14 $17 20% off

Compatible with iPhone 15, and iPhone 16 models, this hardened screen protector offers the ultimate protection for your device’s most valuable asset. It’s easy to install, bubble and dust-free and comes with everything you need to attach the protector, including a working tray. It’s made of 9H+ glass with 110 pounds of SGS-certified protection and resistance. Each pack comes with three protectors and there is a privacy glass option — though it’s not on sale currently.

Thanks to the current deals, the Armorite is discounted to $15, but you can save an extra 10% off on top with coupon code ESRiPhone16 at checkout.

Classic hybrid case with stash stand — $22 $33 37% off

Available for a range of models from the iPhone 13 Pro Max to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, this military-grade protective case will keep your phone safe. It features a strong MagSafe magnetic lock, a built-in adjustable stash stand, and shock-absorbing air guard corners.

With the current deals, the Classic hybrid case is already discounted to $24. However, you can save an extra 10% off on top with coupon code ESRiPhone16 at checkout.

ESR Aura wallet stand (HaloLock) — $40

While it’s not on sale, the ESR Aura wallet stand offers a ton of value for the price. I’d say that makes it pretty darn reasonable. It features a worry-free magnetic hold and stores up to five cards securely. A clear window makes it super easy to view or show your ID. It also allows you to use your phone in various configurations, thanks to an integrated stand. Imagine propping up your phone in portrait or landscape views to watch social media or video content while hands-free. Plus, it’s made of high-quality vegan leather that comes in a few different colors.

The best iPhone 12 Pro Max screen protectors: Tempered glass, film, privacy
iPhone 12 Pro Max Screen Protectors feat image

Apple iPhone displays were always fairly fragile — from the first iPhone all the way through the iPhone 11 Pro Max. For the iPhone 12 Pro Max and, of course, the newest iPhone 13 range, Apple started using a new display technology developed in conjunction with Corning: Ceramic Shield. Ceramic Shield mixed Nano Ceramic crystals into the display glass, which Apple says makes the newer iPhones four times more resistant to damage from drops than older models.

Regardless of whether that theory holds over time — and Apple swears it does — with that much screen real estate, you should probably do something to protect that vast expanse of glass. Slapping a screen protector on your iPhone never hurts. We scouted a variety of screen protectors from reputable manufacturers at various prices, and some even come with extra added privacy and health-related features. Here are some of the best iPhone 12 Pro Max screen protectors.

The best Apple Watch screen protectors

Does your Apple Watch need a screen protector? It depends. While most people prefer to use their electronic devices without encumbrances or barriers, this approach is not always valid. When it comes to the Apple Watch, owners may be stunned by the number of times they knock their wrist against hard surfaces, as their watch absorbs the impact and -- potentially -- the scars. While scratches are not covered under the Apple Care warranty, breaks are.

If you seriously damage your screen while your watch is under warranty, Apple will replace the screen twice for a fee of $69 each time. You could completely avoid such accidents, though, and maintain your timepiece's pristine appearance by using a screen protector or case to protect the watch face. We offer our favorite Apple Watch protective screens below. Note that even though the models listed are for specific Series 4, Series 5, and Series 6 watches, many screen covers are also available for earlier versions of the watch.
