Belkin might be a premium tech accessories brand, but do you know that their products are not as expensive as you think? For example, if you have an Apple iPhone 17 Pro or 17 Pro Max, you should definitely take a look at Belkin SheerForce Clear Series Case (S$39, get it at Shopee or Lazada) and Belkin ScreenForce TemperedGlass Screen Protector (S$29, get it at Shopee or Lazada). You get an all-round protection for your spanking new iPhone 17 Pro at less than S$70, which is cheaper than some iPhone cases itself!
As its name implies, the SheerForce Clear Case provides a clear case for your iPhone’s beauty to shine through. Belkin said that its anti-yellowing nano technology will help the case maintain high transparency without the “dirty yellowing” found in some clear cases after sometime. Furthermore, the SheerForce Clear Case is said to offer a drop protection of up to 4m and comes with scratch-resistant coating to prevent that accidental contacts with your keys.
I can’t attest to anti-yellowing, drop or scratch resistant, as I have not used the case long enough or going to drop my iPhone 17 Pro Max to test. But I can say, for sure, the polished buttons protecting the iPhone’s buttons offer nice and tactile response. In addition, its touch-sensitive Camera Control button offers the same responsive experience like the original camera button itself. Something I can’t say for some other phone cases I tried.
Also, the raised edges in front and around the camera plateau protect the screen and the camera lenses. It also makes it easy for you to place the iPhone both screen down or up. The best part is, at only 2mm thicker than the phone itself, the slim and lightweight case preserves the iPhone’s original sleek design. Not to forget, the case is also MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging compatible. So, it takes advantage of the latest wireless charging technology.
Installing the ScreenForce TemperedGlass Screen Protector is really a no brainer. Its biggest highlight is the new and improved Easy Align tray. All you need to do is to drop your iPhone into the tray, pull out the protective sheet and the screen protector is installed. Of course, you have to manually press out some air bubbles but otherwise, installation is really as easy as it sounds.
The tempered glass itself is said to provide elevated 9H hardness protection (15x stronger than traditional glass) from scratch and shock, as well as from drops as high as 1.8m. Plus, it is coated with oleophobic and hydrophobic material that is anti-bacterial as well as resistant to smudges and discolouration.
I have been using the screen protector for about a month, and I am happy to report that this screen protector is still as clear as daylight. Not to mention, the touchscreen experience of using the iPhone with this screen protector is as native as it gets. It is just like using the original display. However, there are still the occasional smudges here and there. But it is not something a simple wipe can’t solve.
In short, the Belkin SheerForce Clear Series Case and ScreenForce TemperedGlass Screen Protector combined are the perfect protector of your new iPhone 17 at a price that does not break the bank (or glass, pun intended). Get yours today!
