Best OnePlus 11 screen protectors in 2023

Keep your OnePlus 11's display looking great for the long haul

This year's OnePlus 11 takes the company back to its enthusiast-brand roots and packs in flagship-level specs, thanks to the superpowered Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. It also features a gorgeous design with a smooth glass back and a Hasselblad-tuned camera that stands out and looks the part. Plus, the phone has stellar battery life, which, when factored in with the other features, makes it one of the best Android phones of the year — it's the phone to buy for anybody who was a fan of OnePlus in its heyday.

It's a beautiful phone but not quite as durable as other recent glassy flagships. OnePlus cut a few corners by using Corning's slightly older Gorilla Glass Victus on the display rather than the newer Gorilla Glass Victus 2 found on Samsung's Galaxy S23 lineup. The older glass still gives you reasonably good protection against drops, but it's less resistant to scratches, fingerprints, and smudges.

If you want to keep your display looking pristine, consider adding a good screen protector. We've rounded up the best ones you can get right now to keep your screen looking shiny and new without having to baby your OnePlus 11.

The Supershieldz High Definition Clear Shield is made from five layers to give your OnePlus 11 the ultimate scratch protection and clarity. There is a protective device liner, silicone adhesive, an optical PET layer, a scratch-resistant layer, and an HD clear coating on top. This screen protector is made from TPU but offers a glass-like feel. An installation tray goes into the charging slot for easy alignment and bubble-free installation.

IQShield is well known for its great screen protectors and continues that legacy here. This screen protector has four layers to protect your device and is almost invisible to the eye once installed. There's an adhesive layer, a protective liner, a TPU layer, and an oleophobic coating that prevents the screen protector from yellowing over time. This self-healing screen protector is capable of absorbing minor dents and scratches and reverting to its original smooth state.

Another trusted brand in the screen protector world is Skinomi. Its TechSkin products provide high-quality TPU screen protection with a unique liquid-based installation. Installing this requires you to spray the included solution on the screen and place the screen protector on top of it and move it around until you get the perfect alignment. It takes some time to dry, but once it does, it's bubble-free and almost invisible.

The Uponew screen protector is a tempered glass screen protector for those who prefer the feel of real glass on their fingers and want superior drop protection. Tempered glass screen protectors are designed to take the brunt of an impact and crack the screen protector while keeping your main display free from harm. It has a surface hardness between 8 and 9H, allowing it to also resist minor scratches from items like keys and coins.

This Skinomi screen protector is ideal for folks who use their OnePlus 11 in bright environments. The matte TPU film has a smooth satin texture that is self-healing, letting it absorb the occasional small scratch or ding. It also resists fingerprints and yellowing that can develop over time from normal use. Like all Skinomi products, this matte screen protector uses its propriety liquid solution for an easy, bubble-free installation.

The FX screen protector from atFoliX offers crystal-clear transparency with a hard coating. While not as strong as tempered glass, it does offer some scratch resistance, plus an oleophobic coating that makes it resistant to fingerprints, dirt, and grease. There's no alignment tool, but it was designed to repel dust, so you can remove it and reapply the screen protector to get that perfect fit.

DeltaShield's BodyArmor screen protector offers self-healing film protection for your OnePlus 11, reverting to its original form if it takes an impact that causes minor scuffs. It also has an oleophobic coating to help it from yellowing, as well as being fingerprint resistant to withstand your oily fingers. Like Skinomi, it uses a wet application method to allow for easy adjusting, letting you get the perfect alignment.

If you find yourself in an environment with nosy neighbors and friends, the Uponew privacy screen protector should be on your shortlist. It will allow you to easily see your OnePlus 11's display while onlookers see only a black screen. The protector also has an 8-9H hardness to withstand minor scratches. It’s your run-of-the-mill installation with this one, so don’t expect an alignment tool for an easier install.

Foluu's tempered glass screen protector features curved edges to perfectly align with the OnePlus 11’s curved display. This will cover your display from edge to edge for enhanced drop protection. It has a 9H hardness to resist minor scratches and fingerprint resistance to help keep your screen clear of any oils from your fingers. It uses a fairly standard screen protector installation method.

Although Bruni is marketing its latest film screen protector for the OnePlus 11 Jupiter Rock special edition, it works equally well with all the standard OnePlus 11 models. You get scratch protection to withstand minor scuffs plus an oleophobic coating to resist yellowing and fingerprints. This screen protector uses removable tape to help you align the screen protector with the phone during installation.

The Suttkue screen protector for the OnePlus 11 offers a bubble and dust-free installation. The TPU film is resistant to scratches and fingerprints, keeping your display nice and clear. It also utilizes a hydraulic coating to repel liquids (like sweat) from the display. The screen protector is glossy, so it isn’t suitable for bright environments and doesn’t include an easy installation method.

The OnePlus 11 is a well-rounded flagship that will easily go head-to-head with the best 5G phones on the market. It's such a beautifully designed phone that you'll want to keep it looking its very best. Adding a screen protector for the front display is a great start, but it's only half the battle; you'll need one of the best OnePlus 11 cases for all-around protection.

There are a variety of screen protectors for the OnePlus 11. The Supershieldz clear screen protector, IQShield screen protector, and Skinomi TechSkin TPU screen protector offer the best and most comprehensive protection. If you need something more niche, check out Skinomi's matte screen protector or Uponew's privacy screen protector. Regardless of which one you choose, they'll all give you solid protection for your OnePlus 11.
