When it comes to mobile accessories, screen protection is always at the top of the list. With the growing demand for better mobile phone protection, two popular options have become essential: Camera Lens Protectors and Full Screen Protectors.
But for wholesalers, distributors, and retailers, the big question is:
Which one sells better?
Should you stock up on full-screen protectors or invest more in camera lens protectors? In this article, we break down the differences, use cases, customer demand, and market insights to help you make the right choice for your business.
What Is a Full Screen Protector?
A full screen protector is a thin, usually tempered glass or hydrogel layer that covers the entire front of a phone — from edge to edge — including the curved sides if the phone has them. Its main job is to protect the display from scratches, drops, and other daily damage.
OriaWare offers a wide variety of full screen protectors, including:
- 3D Tempered Glass Screen Protector
- 9H Hardness Screen Protector
- Matte Finish Screen Guard
- Clear HD Screen Protector
- Privacy Screen Protector
- Full Glue Tempered Glass
- Edge to Edge Screen Protector
- Hydrogel Film Screen Protector
These products are often offered with logo customization, retail packaging, and are ideal for OEM/ODM orders.
What Is a Camera Lens Protector?
A camera lens protector is a small protective cover made of glass or other materials that fits over the phone’s camera lens on the back. It prevents the lens from being scratched or cracked, especially in phones with raised camera modules.
OriaWare also supplies camera lens protectors wholesale, which are highly suitable for bundle sales or pairing with full-screen protector kits.

Which Sells Better?
In today’s market, full screen protectors still sell better overall. They are considered an essential purchase by most smartphone users. Almost every new phone buyer looks for a screen protector, making them a must-have item for retailers and wholesalers alike.
However, camera lens protectors are growing rapidly in demand, especially with the rise of high-end phones with multiple or protruding lenses (such as iPhone Pro and Samsung Galaxy Ultra series). Many end users now choose to protect both the screen and the lens, creating more opportunities for bundled sales.
From our experience at OriaWare, our customers often order:
- Full screen protectors in larger quantities
- Camera lens protectors as add-on products
This combination boosts both customer satisfaction and average order value.
