Introducing Flexera9™ UHD NX1: Glass-Like Hardness. The Advantage of Film.

November 9, 2026

ProtectionPro® by Madico® introduces advanced UV-cured film technology that combines tested 9H pencil hardness, exceptional optical clarity, and the convenience of automated, on-demand screen protection.

Consumers have long associated tempered glass with hardness and scratch resistance, while flexible screen protection films offer advantages in custom fit, versatility, and ease of installation. But what if retailers could offer a new option that brings these qualities closer together like an optically clear shatterproof solution that resists scratching and breakage?

‍

Meet Flexera9 UHD NX1, the latest advancement in screen protection technology from ProtectionPro by Madico that bridges the gap between the top tempered glass designs and the growing number of screened devices in the market today.

Developed exclusively for the ProtectionPro, Nexera ONE all-in-one cutting and installation system also comes with an integrated UV light curing capability. The innovative Flexera9 film combines a specialized UV-cured hard-coated surface with the versatility of precision-cut film. The result is a new premium screen protection option designed for customers seeking exceptional surface hardness, abrasion resistance, and optical clarity.

 

What Makes Flexera9 Different?

Traditional screen protection films and tempered glass each have their strengths. Glass offers a rigid, hard surface, while film can conform to supported screen shapes and curves and be cut to fit individual devices.

‍

Flexera9 introduces another choice.

At its core is a specialized five-layer construction featuring a UV-cured hard-coated PET surface. This advanced film technology delivers a smooth, glass-like feel while maintaining the precision-fit advantages of ProtectionPro's on-demand screen protection system.

Unlike conventional polyurethane films that emphasize self-healing or impact absorption, Flexera9 film focuses on surface hardness and resistance to everyday abrasion, without sacrificing optical clarity. And unlike tempered glass, which is made to take an impact by absorbing it, usually resulting in the screen protector cracking instead of your screen, Flexera9 can absorb multiple impacts without cracking, providing shatterproof protection for your screen. This means keeping your screen AND screen protector free from cracks longer. Independent laboratory testing supports Flexera9's performance.

Tested 9H Hardness. Engineered for Everyday Protection.

‍

Hardness is one of the most recognizable qualities customers associate with screen protection. But not all hardness claims are created equal.

Flexera9 has achieved a 9H rating in third-party pencil-hardness testing conducted under a 500 g load, demonstrating the resistance of its hard-coated surface under specified testing conditions.

Additional abrasion testing reported no visible scratches following 1,000 cycles of steel wool abrasion.

Together, these results demonstrate the performance of Flexera9's specialized hard coating and its ability to resist tested surface wear.

 And because screen protection should never come at the expense of the viewing experience, Flexera9 also delivers:

‍

  • Exceptional optical clarity: At least 90% light transmittance helps preserve a clear viewing experience.
  • Low haze: Less than 2% optical haze helps maintain crisp screen detail.
  • Water-repellent surface: A tested contact angle of at least 115° encourages water to bead on the film.
  • Secure silicone adhesion: Designed for reliable attachment to compatible flat and curved phone screens.
  • Smooth, glass-like feel: A hard-coated surface provides a premium finish customers can see and feel.
  • Shatterproof protection: Combining PET film with a UV-cured coating provides multi-impact protection without cracking or shattering.

‍

It combines advanced film engineering with a screen-protection category traditionally dominated by rigid glass.

Advanced UV-Cured Technology Meets Nexera ONE

‍

Flexera9 is a new film technology designed to work with ProtectionPro's most advanced automated installation system, the Nexera ONE.

The Nexera ONE combines precision film cutting and automated vacuum installation along with integrated UV curing lights all within one compact machine. With Flexera9, the process also incorporates integrated UV curing, supporting the film's specialized technology.

For retailers and repair professionals, the experience remains remarkably straightforward.

Select a compatible phone design, let Nexera ONE precisely cut the film, and complete the automated installation process. The average installation time is approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

This streamlined workflow helps associates offer a premium screen protection option without requiring a separate, manual installation process.

Flexera9 is available in small format for supported phones and is compatible exclusively with Nexera ONE machines equipped with UV-curing capability.

‍

"Not every customer wants the same type of screen protection. With ProtectionPro's Nexera ONE system, retailers can offer a variety of protection for almost any phone."

‍

Some prioritize self-healing properties of the Ultra HD NX1. Others want reduced glare of Ultra Matte NX1, or the enhanced privacy from the Privacy NX1, or a smooth, hard surface that feels more like glass with the new Flexera9.

Flexera9 expands the ProtectionPro film portfolio by offering another premium option, one built around tested surface hardness, shatterproof impact resistance, and exceptional clarity, making it a great alternative to tempered glass.

For retailers, that means an opportunity to address a different set of customer preferences while continuing to benefit from ProtectionPro's on-demand business model.

Rather than managing an expanding inventory of model-specific tempered glass protectors, participating stores can stock compatible Flexera9 film sheets and cut them for supported phones as needed.

The result is a combination of customer choice, operational efficiency, and greater flexibility at the point of sale.

‍

The Next Step in On-Demand Screen Protection

ProtectionPro has always focused on helping retailers offer the right protection for the right device, without the limitations of conventional precut inventory.

Flexera9 builds on that approach by adding a new premium film technology to the Nexera ONE ecosystem.

‍

Glass-like hardness. Exceptional clarity. Precisionon-demand installation.

Together, Flexera9 and Nexera ONE bring another level of choice to screen protection, connecting advanced material science with practical retail efficiency.
