Which screen protector is right for you?
What you don't know may kill you!
Oh I get it, you think you're safe with your ion-strengthened Gorilla Glass, don't you?
Well, let me show you this footage
This is my iPhone 6s and 6s Plus camera test video I shot in the Mojave desert during a lantern festival.
I used OlloClips during this couple hour shoot and I had to mount the lenses on and off a lot times.
Tell me, did that scratch my screen?
Well, take a look at this.
It's not all fun and games anymore now is it? But don't worry I'm here and I'm expert on all these screen protectors
There are a lot of different types of screen protectors, let's go over them
Let's start with the regular screen protectors
They are made out of four layers
top layer scratch resistant coat, the next one high transparency gloss treatment, and then pet protection film
Which stands for polyethylene terephthalate
And then polymer adhesive so it sticks to your phone
And if you're wondering what polyethylene terephthalate is...
it is a synthetic resin made by copolymerizing ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid, widely used to make polyester fibers.
and I'm not reading this somewhere at all
This film will protect your screen but it is not scratch resistant. This film can get scratched.
Does a nice job, shows finger prints and smudges, it lasts if you take care of it
It feels fine, it is not glass-like but it feels fine
It is easy to install and easy to take it off. If something goes wrong you can apply a tape and then lift the film up
And if you get the AFP version that means anti finger print which is more resistant to finger prints and smudges
and these films are cheap
There are also special films like this
But these will drain your battery really fast. I think this is called privacy something
You see your screen when you're directly looking into it so the person next to you doesn't see what you're typing
because you're very important and you're probably putting in codes for pentagon or something
But you know when you turn your iPhone off you can use it as a mirror and amuse yourself.
Next up is as you can guess my favorite.
Anti-glare film
There are couple of companies that have the anti glare film and, so this is Belkin's anti-glare
And this is power support's anti-glare
And as you can see this is actually not anti-glare at all
This one kind of changes the colors makes them a little less vivid
And on the other hand this one causes grain effect
And some people don't like that and some people like it a lot. I happened to like it a lot
It's the same formula has those four layers but the second layer is a matte treatement
And it doesn't scratch so easily for example look at this iPhone 3G and it has almost no scratches, it almost looks brand new
And it doesn't show fingerprint at all it is very install, it is very easy to take it off
And I love the feel of it, it is slippery. Also this film is cheap as well.
Now this is hybrid crystal film set.
What it means is, it is a mixture of glass and resin
It used to be 0.25mm they are now able to make it as thin as 0.15mm and want the anti-glare it is 0.20mm
and you may ask yourself why that matters. It matters when you want to put an OlloClip
or something, an accessory like that on your phone
This is very clear, I actually love it. As soon as switched to hybrid film I stopped using anti-glare
It feels great, it lasts long. It's not easy to take it off because the tape doesn't stick on it
And it is not that cheap
The hardness of this is 9H which is almost as hard as a sapphire
It is very resistant to scratches and it will last a really long time even if you don't take good care of it
And now my favorite the Schott Glass.
It is a 0.2mm tempered glass. It has 9h hardness, yes it shows finger prints and smudges even though they say it is resistant
after a while each and every one of them show the fingerprint and smudges except for the antiglare
And lasts probably more than your phone
And very difficult to take it off. So if you're going to apply this you have to pay attention while you're applying it
And it is not cheap at all but this thing is my favorite. It feels better than iPhone's original glass
So yeah these are all the films but there is one thing we didn't consider.
Do you realize your screen looks funny when you're wearing polarized sunglasses?
Well I'm going to show you something very interesting
When I placed the polarized lens over the camera lens it exaggerated the effect a little more than what I see while I’m wearing the sunglasses
But for what I want to show you it will do a good job. I realized this while I was driving.
The phone that had the antiglare film looked quite normal where the other phone’s screen was almost impossible to see.
This works best with this power support anti-glare film but other types films make the screen more visible as well
When compared you can see that in every single angle antiglare is more visible than the others
which I think is amazing plus look at this reflection comparison
I’d like to point out that in this scene the order of the phones are different from the last.
As you can see this is why I love this antiglare filmset
So which one is your favorite? You can cast your vote right there.
Alright now let's see how to install film perfectly every time. You don't need all that machinery to apply film
There is this technique that no one is talking about which is using your brain, eye and hand coordination
and I think this is the best way to apply a film.
I'm going to install it on my wife's iPhone and since she does a lot of graphic design I'm going to go with the crystal film set
So she will see colors and everything more properly
I'm going to clean the phone.
This is the dust remover tape, I find this very useful. I'm going to apply this.
As you can see iPhonedo is placing the dust remover carefully on the phone
Gonna make sure it sticks nice an well
Now let me explain to you what I do. I take this top part and I fold it like this
And then I place it on the phone and I align
iPhonedo is carefully removing the dust remover, and now it is time to align the top part of the screen protector film
Gently lifts it up...
Pulling the back plastic gently
Don't worry about the bubbles, they'll go away and I think we can call this a perfect execution
And actually it is. Go now young protege your training is complete
