The Hero 6 Black shares its front lens and rear touchscreen dimensions with the Hero 5 Black (and, for the screen, the Hero 7 Black), so most screen protectors on the market are sold as multi-generation kits rather than a Hero-6-only product. Every option below explicitly lists Hero 6 compatibility.

The picks, in detail
Official GoPro Screen Protectors (Hero6 Black/Hero5 Black)

- Simple screen-only protection
- Guaranteed correct fit since it’s made by GoPro itself
- No ambiguity about generation compatibility
- Costs more per protector than third-party multi-packs

- 0.33mm tempered glass, 9H hardness
- Over 99% light transmittance
- Explicitly listed for Hero 6 and Hero 5 Black
- 2-pack
- High transmittance keeps screen clarity close to bare glass
- Two protectors per pack covers a replacement without a second order
- Screen protector only, no lens coverage in this specific listing
- Tempered glass adds slight thickness versus a film protector
AKWOX 6-Pack Tempered Glass Screen, Lens Protector & Lens Cap Kit
A full accessory bundle covering the screen, lens, and a lens cap cover, explicitly listed for Hero 6 Black alongside Hero 7 and Hero 5 Black.
- 2x tempered-glass screen protector
- 2x lens protector

- Cut specifically to fit Hero 6
- 3 packs (6 pieces total)
- Best per-protector value of the multi-packs here given the piece count

- No lens cap cover included, unlike the AKWOX kit
CLEAREX Hydrophobic Screen Protector
A hydrophobic tempered glass protector aimed at water-repellency for a camera that’s frequently used near water or in rain.
- Hydrophobic (water-repellent) coating
- Tempered glass, anti-scratch
- Fits Hero 5, 6, and 7 Black
- Water-repellent coating is a genuine benefit for an action camera used near water
- Ultra-clear finish keeps footage review sharp

- Covers Hero 8, 7 Black, 6, and 5
- Warranty coverage is unusual among budget protector kits

- Costs more than the plainest screen-only options
- Warranty claims require contacting the seller directly, not GoPro
Diruite 4-Pack Tempered Glass Screen Protector
A 2.5D-edge, 9H-hardness ultra-thin tempered glass set sold in a 4-piece pack for Hero 7, Hero 6, and Hero 5.
- 2.5D rounded edge tempered glass
- 9H hardness, ultra-thin

- Tempered glass, scratch and smudge resistant
- Specifically listed for Hero5 and Hero6
- Easy placement and removal
- Sold by a retailer specializing specifically in action-camera accessories
- Easy removal without leaving adhesive residue
- Narrower generation compatibility (Hero 5/6 only) than the multi-gen kits
- Sold in smaller quantities than the bulk multi-packs
Buying tips
- Confirm Hero 6 is explicitly listed in the product title or description — most of these protectors are cut for a shared Hero 5/6/7 form factor, but a listing that only says ‘Hero 7’ or ‘Hero 8’ isn’t guaranteed to fit the Hero 6’s exact dimensions.
- If you use the camera near water regularly, the hydrophobic coating on the CLEAREX pick is worth the small price premium over plain tempered glass.
- A bundle that includes a lens protector (AKWOX, AFUNTA, Sensei Photo) protects the more expensive-to-replace lens glass, not just the touchscreen — worth the few extra dollars over a screen-only protector.
