ScreenProtector.org Research is the data arm of this site: counts and findings derived from our own device catalog at build time, stamped with the dataset date, and published with definitions, methodology, and limitations attached. Every catalog figure carries its source, and what our sourcing did not find is stated as exactly that, not as a market claim.

Key takeaways

All research numbers are generated from the same dataset the device pages render, so the stamp and the numbers never diverge.
Counts are labeled as ScreenProtector.org device catalog data and are never presented as market share, market size, or shipments.
Absence of a documented protector in our catalog is a statement about what our sourcing found, not proof that no protector exists.

The State of Screen Protection Coverage

Build-time counts from our device catalog: how many researched commercial device models have a documented first-party or aftermarket protector, overall and by device class and industry, with methodology and a cite block.

Rugged tablets and controllers without a first-party film

The long tail: field tablets and survey controllers where the OEM ships no first-party screen protector, the named models fleets actually run, and what custom cutters need to quote them.

How we build it

The device catalog is assembled model by model from OEM documentation, and every non-null screen fact stores its source URL. Models with only identified-but-unverified specs are tiered separately and excluded from research findings. See How We Verify for the full rules, and the standards hub for the educational explainers that sit beside this data.
