โ Frequently Asked Questions
What does 28-degree anti-peep angle mean?
The 28-degree anti-peep angle refers to the viewing cone within which your screen content remains visible. When you look directly at your iPhone 17 screen or within approximately 28 degrees from center, you can see your display content clearly and in full color. However, when someone views your screen from an angle greater than 28 degrees to either side, the privacy filter technology causes the screen to appear dark or blacked out. This means if someone is sitting next to you on a train, standing behind you in a queue, or glancing at your phone from across a table, they will not be able to see what you are looking at. The 28-degree angle is carefully calibrated to be narrow enough to block side viewers while remaining wide enough that you can comfortably view your own screen without needing to hold your phone perfectly straight in front of your face.
Will the privacy filter affect my screen quality?
When viewing your screen directly, the privacy filter has minimal impact on display quality. Baseus uses high-definition materials in the Crystal Diamond Series to ensure your iPhone 17's display remains vibrant and clear when you are looking at it head-on. Colors remain accurate, text stays sharp and readable, and images display with good clarity. However, privacy screen protectors by nature do slightly reduce overall brightness compared to non-privacy glass because of the light-filtering technology required to create the anti-peep effect. You may need to increase your screen brightness slightly to compensate, particularly in bright outdoor conditions. The trade-off between minor brightness reduction and significant privacy protection is worthwhile for most users who frequently use their phones in public spaces or handle sensitive information.
How does the Dust-Free Chamber II installation work?
The Dust-Free Chamber II is an innovative installation tool that creates a controlled environment for applying your privacy screen protector. First, you use the included cleaning kit to thoroughly clean your iPhone 17 screen, removing all dust, fingerprints, and oils. Then, you position the dust-free chamber alignment tool on your device. This chamber creates a sealed environment that prevents new dust particles from landing on the screen during application. The tempered glass is pre-aligned in the chamber, so when you lower it onto the screen, it falls into perfect position automatically. The result is a bubble-free, dust-free application that looks professionally installed. This system eliminates the trial-and-error of traditional installation methods and ensures perfect results even for first-time users who have never applied a screen protector before.
Does privacy glass work in both portrait and landscape mode?
Yes, the privacy protection works in both portrait and landscape orientations. The anti-peep filter is designed to block viewing from both horizontal side angles regardless of how you hold your phone. In portrait mode, it blocks people looking from your left or right sides. When you rotate to landscape mode for watching videos or gaming, the privacy filter rotates with the glass and continues blocking side viewers. However, the privacy effect is typically optimized for side-to-side blocking in the orientation the glass was designed for. Some privacy screen protectors have stronger blocking in one orientation than the other. This Baseus Crystal Diamond privacy glass provides effective privacy protection in both orientations, though you may notice the blocking effect is most pronounced when viewing from the horizontal sides in portrait mode.
What is the imported AF coating and why is it important?
AF stands for Anti-Fingerprint, and this screen protector features a premium imported AF coating that is applied to the surface of the tempered glass. This oleophobic coating creates a barrier that resists oils from your fingers, making it significantly harder for fingerprints, smudges, and grease marks to adhere to the screen. When fingerprints do appear, they wipe away much more easily than on uncoated glass, often with just a quick swipe of your shirt or a dry cloth. The coating also provides a smoother surface that enhances the sliding feel of your fingers during touchscreen use, making swipes and gestures feel more fluid and natural. Imported AF coatings typically use higher quality materials and more advanced application processes compared to standard domestic coatings, resulting in better durability and longer-lasting anti-fingerprint performance.
Will this work with my iPhone case?
Yes, this Baseus Crystal Diamond Privacy glass is designed to be compatible with most iPhone 17 cases. The 3D curved edges and precise 1:1 coverage mean the glass sits flush with the screen without protruding edges that would interfere with case installation. The ultra-thin 0.3mm profile adds negligible thickness that will not prevent cases from fitting properly. The glass is designed with case compatibility in mind, with edges that taper slightly to accommodate the raised lips found on most protective cases. Whether you use a slim minimal case, a rugged heavy-duty case, or anything in between, this privacy screen protector should work seamlessly. However, some cases with very tight tolerances or built-in screen protectors may not be compatible. If you are using a case with an integrated screen cover, you would not need this separate screen protector.
Does Face ID work with privacy screen protectors?
Yes, Face ID works normally with this privacy screen protector installed. The tempered glass is manufactured with precise cutouts that do not cover or interfere with the Face ID sensors, TrueDepth camera, or front camera of your iPhone 17. The sensor area remains completely unobstructed, ensuring Face ID works just as quickly and accurately as it does without a screen protector. The front camera also remains completely clear for selfies, video calls, and FaceTime. You will experience no reduction in Face ID speed, reliability, or camera quality after installing this privacy glass. The privacy filter only affects the visible display area and does not impact any of the sensors or cameras located in the Dynamic Island or top sensor housing area of your iPhone 17.
How does privacy glass compare to regular tempered glass?
Privacy tempered glass offers the same physical protection as regular tempered glass, including scratch resistance, impact absorption, and shatter protection, but adds the crucial benefit of visual privacy through the anti-peep filter technology. The main differences are that privacy glass limits viewing angles to prevent shoulder surfing and screen spying, while regular glass allows viewing from any angle. Privacy glass may slightly reduce screen brightness due to the filter layers, whereas regular HD glass maintains maximum brightness. Both types use the same 0.3mm ultra-thin construction, 3D curved edges, and AF coating in the Baseus Crystal Diamond series. The choice between privacy and regular glass depends on your priorities. Choose privacy if you frequently use your phone in public, handle sensitive information, or simply prefer keeping your screen content private from others around you.
What is included in the cleaning kit?
The included cleaning kit contains everything you need to properly prepare your iPhone 17 screen before applying the privacy tempered glass. Typically, a Baseus cleaning kit includes an alcohol preparation wipe for removing oils, fingerprints, and stubborn residue from your screen. It also includes a microfiber cleaning cloth for final polishing and removing any lint or dust particles. A dust removal sticker is included to lift away any remaining microscopic dust particles that the cloth might miss. Some kits also include a guide sticker to help with initial positioning. These components work together with the Dust-Free Chamber II tool to ensure your screen is perfectly clean and dust-free before the tempered glass is applied. Proper screen preparation using all components of the cleaning kit is essential for achieving a bubble-free, professional-looking installation.
