One, two, three or a whole box
Some things are worth buying more than one of. Screen protectors are the obvious case: a spare means a second go if dust gets under the first, and a fresh one when the first cracks. Wrist straps and adapters get lost, SIM tools vanish into drawers, and anyone making charms needs beads by the hundred. These pages sort products by how many come in the pack.
How a product gets onto these pages
Products are filed by pack size from the number in their own name: "2pcs", "3 pack", "5 pieces" and so on. A product whose name gives no number is not filed by pack size at all, so it will not appear on these pages even if it comes as a set. Each product page says what comes in the pack.
The pack size pages
- Single items: products whose name says they are one piece.
- 2-packs: mostly screen glass for Samsung Galaxy phones, and gaming finger sleeves.
- 3-packs: sets of three or four, among them iPhone screen glass, camera lens glass and charm sets.
- 5-packs and more: packs of five upwards, from hydrogel film and SIM tools to craft beads, tassels and charm kits.
When a pack is worth it
A pack of screen protectors is the most useful kind. Fitting one is fiddly, and the first try does not always go well; with a pack you can try again, and keep one for when the first is chipped. The guide to fitting a screen protector explains how to get it right. Small things that wander, such as SIM tools and USB-C adapters, are worth having one of in every bag and drawer. For crafts, a big pack of beads, charms or clasps costs less per piece than buying a few at a time, and the guide to making a phone charm shows what to do with them.
Questions people ask about pack sizes
Is a pair of finger sleeves a 2-pack?
It depends on how the name counts them. A pack sold as "2pcs" is on the 2-packs page. Each product page says exactly what comes in it.
Can I choose a pack size on a product?
Some products offer more than one size of pack as a choice on their page, such as one or two screen protectors. Choose the one you want before you add it to your basket.
Is a pack the same as a bundle?
No. A pack is several of the same thing. A bundle or set mixes different things that go together, such as a case and glass.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery is included in every price and tracked to your door. Each product page says when it usually arrives.
