iPhone SE (3rd gen) Screen Protectors
iPhone SE (3rd gen) owners have one job to get right: buy a protector cut for this exact model, not for the family. The cutouts, the sensor housing and the curve of the glass all change between siblings in the same range, and a protector that is 2mm out will lift at a corner within a fortnight.

For the iPhone SE (3rd gen) the sensible shortlist is tempered glass. Below are the options currently sold into the UK, grouped so you can see the difference between a £6 three-pack and a £30 single protector before you commit.
iPhone SE (3rd gen) screen protectors — your questions
What size is the iPhone SE (3rd gen) screen?
The iPhone SE (3rd gen) has a 4.7-inch display. That figure is the diagonal measurement, so it doesn't on its own tell you a protector will fit, two devices with the same diagonal can have different corner radii and cutouts. Always buy one listed for the iPhone SE (3rd gen) by name.
Which type of screen protector is best for the iPhone SE (3rd gen)?
Tempered glass is the default choice for the iPhone SE (3rd gen). The default choice. Rigid, glass-clear, absorbs impact by sacrificing itself.
Worth knowing before you buy: can shatter on a hard corner drop; adds noticeable thickness on curved screens.
How much should I spend on a iPhone SE (3rd gen) screen protector?
Somewhere between £8 and £25 covers almost everyone. Under about £8 you're usually buying glass with no oleophobic coating, which looks fine for a week and then smears permanently.
Above £25 you're paying for a warranty, a better applicator, or a speciality finish like privacy or paper-feel. Those are real benefits, but they're refinements. The jump in protection from nothing to a £10 protector is far larger than the jump from £10 to £30.
Will a screen protector fit the iPhone SE (3rd gen) with a case on?
Usually, if you buy one described as case-friendly. Those stop fractionally short of the screen edge so a case lip can sit over the top without catching and peeling it.
Full-coverage and edge-to-edge designs look better but can foul thicker cases. If you already own the case, fit the protector first, then check the case clips down flush before you commit to a second one.
