It reduces fingerprints smudges on the screen, as well as leaving the image very crisp and reducing the glare by 25%.

This material is ideal for:

  • touch screens
  • screen with glass fronts

Out of all the anti-glare materials that we have, the MXH offers the least visual noise. This helps those of you who were bothered by the pixeling of our other materials on certain applications.
This film has the same 3H hardness surface coating and silicon resign adhesion of our other screen protector materials, so it is still an excellent choice for protecting your screen.
The anti-glare properties of this material are the lowest of all our anti-glare options, but the image quality is better than the MXT and MXG anti-glare materials.
Look for MXH through out our site! We have it available for a few pre-cut screen sizes and for all of our created device SKUs.
