In about a month, LG will take the wraps off its next-gen flagship handset.

Android fans, we have good news and bad news.

For whatever reason, the glass screens on Apple's iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are far more prone to scratching than any other iPhones. Even if you're always careful, the simple act of repeatedly putting the phone in your pocket and taking it out again will scratch up your display over time. In order to prevent your iPhone screen from getting all scratched up, you need a glass screen protector. And if you're going to protect your screen from scratches anyway, you might as well protect it from prying eyes while you're at it. A 2-pack of Cambond iPhone 7 Plus Privacy Screen Protectors typically costs $12 on Amazon, which is a price that's beyond fair for these items. But i…
