Our Cupert protectors achieve a hardness of 9H, which makes them extremely scratch resistant to any material of lower hardness levels, such as metal, wood and plastic. They will resist everyday accidental contact scratches from objects like keys and coins.
Materials of a same or higher hardness levels can scratch the glass - things such like glass, stone, sand, diamond, bricks and concrete. The top layer is an oleophobic coating to prevent fingerprints and water/oil and this layer can be scratched. However, that is not the same thing as scratches in the tempered glass. While scratching your actual screen protector may be possible with strong deliberate force, the protector will still leave your iPhone screen in pristine condition.
