You can get splatter guards that have a glass "top" and some kind of silicone edging. It seems a lot more durable than the entirely thin white plastic ones that are more common. Look for "GGG-GLOU-GLOU GOOSE" (really) on Amazon.

Only downside is that the glass top can get dangerously hot, but there's a handle.

The ones I've seen of this sort are all kinda small. And "gets dangerously hot" makes it a complete nonstarter for me.

As someone not weary of using plastic in microwave, for some reason I am very distrustful of silicon used in cookwear, especially equipment that interacts directly touches hot metal like lids, baking sheets etc. I don't even know the science behind it. But I've seen enough semi melted silicon spatula tips to feel like it's not a good combo.
