If It’s Broken, Fix It. Quickly, Easily, and Hassle-Free.

 

Doubling down on its commitment to delivering the highest quality product experience, Belkin introduces a new Wear and Tear replacement program in addition to its established product warranty.  Launching this month, consumers can easily replace screen protection products compromised by everyday use and/or life’s inevitable accidents, directly on Belkin.com.  The new process is straightforward, transparent, and most importantly, hassle-free.

 

Products will continue to be replaced at no cost, with a flat shipping and handling fee applied.

 

The program will be available in Australia, Canada, Germany, the UK and the US, for now, with plans to expand to other countries in the future.

 

Custom Screen Protection with Screen Skinz

Belkin is partnering with Screen Skinz to bring a new level of personalisation to screen protection. Coming soon to Belkin.com, customers will have the ability to create a custom design or choose from a curated collection of pre-made options, which will be etched directly onto their screen protector. The result is protection that is uniquely customised. Utilising Screen Skinz’ patented etching technology, designs are visible only when the phone display is off. When the screen is on, the design disappears to ensure a smooth, uninterrupted viewing experience while delivering trusted durability and peace of mind.

 

Custom screen protectors will be available for purchase to U.S. customers on Belkin.com by the end of January 2026.
