We’ve also added an enhanced Eyesafe® blue light filter and anti-reflective technology that enhances color vibrancy and depth. Glass XTR2 boasts these new-to-world features:
- Anti-reflective Technology: This new treatment significantly decreases reflection and increases the light transmitted to improve your screen’s clarity and enrich the color depth and vibrancy of the images on your screen.
- Anti-dust Adhesive: Even if a little dust gets on your screen during installation, our new adhesive will install smoothly making any dust particles virtually invisible on your screen.
- Hexiom Impact Technology optimally absorbs and disperses impacts through its honeycomb micro-structure.

Environmental Sustainability:
At ZAGG, it’s always been our mission to protect and enhance, and that includes improving our world. We’re continuing our journey toward environmental sustainability by considering improvements to packaging, product materials, recycling, manufacturing, and more. Here’s what we’ve done so far:
- Sustainable raw materials –
- Thirty-four percent of Gear4’s iPhone case line-up uses D3O Bio, the world’s most advanced, plant-based protection material. D3O Bio is made with up to 45% renewable resources, as opposed to fossil-based resources4. We’re excited about our partnership with D3O, and more products made with D3O Bio are in the works.
- ZAGG has partnered with Eastman, a global specialty materials company, to offer select cases that are more sustainable with Tritan Renew which contains 50% certified recycled content. During fiscal year 2021, these efforts helped divert 60 metric tons of plastic waste from the ocean or landfills, the equivalent of 6.486 million water bottles, and have reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 51 metric tons compared to processes using fossil-based resources.
- Reforestation – ZAGG has partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects, a nonprofit dedicated to employing and empowering communities through global reforestation. For every purchase of an Ultra Eco or Fusion Eco screen protector on ZAGG.com and retailers across the globe, and every Gear4 case sold on ZAGG.com, a tree is planted. Our efforts have resulted in over 740,000 trees being planted with Eden Projects and provided 8,000 days of employment in local communities.
“Becoming more sustainable doesn’t mean compromising on quality,” said Chris Ahern, CEO of ZAGG. “As part of our commitment to protecting and enhancing the devices that connect us to our world, ZAGG has sought sustainable solutions, like Eastman Tritan Renew and plastic free packaging, that actually improve your experience and benefit the planet.”
