**video 4 years ago** creator: Now's a good time to make a pinned comment

You looked fatty

@@frenzzone8471 he made it 5 years ago not yesterday...

i realize it is quite off topic but does anyone know a good site to stream new movies online ?

+jtbedazzle I wish I had read this before putting my screen protector. Great advice.

+EyesofNova +jtbedazzle do you put it in the bathroom while u shower?

+jtbedazzle genius.

+EyesofNova you can use tape to lift the glass and use it to remove the dust off.

Doing that will wreck your battery

Thats what Im saying

Agreed.

+beauty queen some protection plans make you pay deductibles that can be over $150 for broken screen though

if you spend any money on a phone, spend the money to protect it. cracking a phone sucks

Wrd

+D Perez They used to be impossibly to put on. I remember having an original iPhone and iPhone 3G and screen protectors back then were garbage. Now they are a little easier but half the time it hardly seems worth it given the bubbles, dust etc lol

+D Perez a little trick. before you remove the protective film, put the screen protector on your phone and find the perfect position. then take 2 strips of adhesive tape, and stick them on top of the protector to the left or right side of it, leaving half of the tape sticking out to the side of the phone. then wrap these all the way to the back of your phone. now you can lift your protector from one side, like opening a door, andyou dont lose the perfect positioning. now, clean the screen as usual, remove the protective film and drop the protector on the screen fast, without worrying about allignment, and without giving time to dust to settle on the screen i hope i make sense, but trust me, i use this method and i have 100% success with not a single spec of dust trapped inside

+dimos k Nice idea (Y) so the 2 strips of adhesive tape would act like hinges. Took me some time to get it though :D

***** yes exactly. It also took me some time to translate what I was thinking into English so it would make sense lol

haha now I see. but that was actually good English for a non-native speaker ;)

But did you die?

:/

I will be pray for your broken screen protector, it will be missed 😭🙏🏼

天堂心臟 just the screen protector was damaged.

Not that I know of, although the glass camera is Sapphire so in theory it should be stronger.

Lol so true

Goes to eBay gets 2 for $2

+LiamsChannel 😂

Amazon is better kiiiid

Nahhhhhh eBay and aliexpress 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

And there is also a lot of bad ones too

I'm sure the are low quality ones, but theress good ones at around the $10 price range too like Intelliarmor. I got it on sale at 2 for $16 for my Nexus 6P and its definitely not low quality.

One word ebay

You can also find plenty of selection on Amazon.

Actually i have been buying my tempered glass screen protectors in a Chinese discount near my house for 4€ (something like 5-6 dollars) lol and it protected my phone several times, from several heights. You don't have to spend much money

Kevin Breeze *money**

Tarmius money _and_ courage hah

Yooo Kevin Breeze What's up.

@Manas Shrimali fuck you

IAmGoombaSniper yes and you can get them on eBay for £0.99 Thier the ones I use dropped my phone down a staircase smashed the screen protector but the screen was perfect as you said it's common sense

A nice little insurance policy , especially when phones are costing at least 700 bux these days.

*Laughs in 20$ replacement for screen*

Banana Man fax

100 dollars ahahah more like 300 dollars or plus... (im talking high end ones)

+SandWitchGamerZ This video 1 year old.

I got mine for $1

.99 cents on eBay

@CountlessTech Robberies doesn't count.

someone paid me to take their screen protector

I bought my glass screen protector on Amazon for a little less than ten dollars, it's a perfect one for my iPhone 5.

+TheRealConcertKing I bought a tempered glass protector for $6. Am currently using a plastic screen protector because the tempered glass came damaged, the company I bought it from did nothing about it, and I had only like $4 left to buy a screen protector. Shockingly, this plastic one works perfectly fine and actually works well. I've dropped my phone so many times on it's screen and I have yet to receive a single scratch

MicroFSXPilot If you bought it on eBay or Amazon, you can probably get your money back from them for the damaged one since the seller won't do anything.

+TheRealConcertKing I don't remember what steps I took since this was a while back but I think it's too late now to file a claim. Especially if I already threw away the screen protector in the trash

MicroFSXPilot Ah ok. Well next time remember that.

I kid you not, you're the first person to ever ask that.

You can still watch his videos daily, they just won't be new ;)

lol...

If he's talking about tech that you will use daily then it makes perfect sense.

XD

Aґsои Plцто same thing just happened to me . the screen protector cracked but my phone screen was safe . Well worth it

what screen protector do you have?

@@XPrincess30 they’re all the same

Fendi Roon you’d be correct, about an hour ago i dropped my phone and the screen protector cracked, and the phone was fine

By your logic my plastic thin screen protector is stronger because when i dropped my phone it didn't break.

@@burgerking220 no, the glass is hard so when it absorb a sharp point impact it will transfer it to a larger surface on the screen, reducing the pressure on the screen, while plastic is soft so any sharp impact will just punctured and go down to the screen glass. Also glass is less prone to scratches because it's harder than plastic

Nice pogo profile pic

Lol

Nice video.

i come at toilet

In this video it's a different person? 🤔 but y'all call urselves "Wade" (?) Sorry I'm just confused

its because the edges aren't protected. so as you said they only really work in perfect face down falls

that's why you put on a case

Ha.. I still don't understand why people would put glass on top of glass... makes a lot of sense. You already have scratch resistant and shatter resistant gorilla glass. My phones go through enough and never had a scratch on my naked glass screen..ever...on any phone. Smh.

Exactly. People have these glass protectors on their phones, and just cause the protector cracks, they think it's working. The fact that your protector cracked doesn't mean your screen would have without it. People just don't understand how durable the screens on todays phones are. Just like on this video, which proves absolutely nothing. Some small rocks get dropped on the phone, and the phone is dropped on gravel a few times. Ok, the protector got boken, but the screen is intact. Now do the same thing without the protector, and we'll see. Would anything have happened without one? I think not. I need a proper comparison test to believe they work, and I still haven't seen one.

Pekka Kilpeläinen The only reason I use a screen protector is to prevent scratches. my phone has a shatterproof screen (Lenovo Droid Z Force), and I want to keep it as damage free as possible. Tempered glass protectors suck when it comes to protecting a screen from a fall, but they do a great job at preventing scratches.

+RealDarkFilm That's really awesome of them!

TechDaily it came in a really fancy box too! I feel like they lose money to make customers happy because of the lifetime warranty.

I bet if you dropped your phone without your protector it would still have been fine. The S7 edge is strong and these tempered glass protectors are mostly next to useless. I used to buy them, but i have not woken up to this bullshit. There are many people who buy these drop weaker phone, and both the protector and phone screen crack.

Hush ya beak!

+Im behind you That's where I get mine or on Ebay for like $6 they do the same exact job and look just as nice. Have no idea where he's getting $40-$50? When they first hit the scene they were that much....not anymore though.

Now you're assuming that all glass screen protectors are at the level and quality as others.

+Digipixle

+Ken Hoey Because that's iPhone man... u.u

+Digipixle Weren't those earlier tempered glass protectors usually around 0,5-0,4 mm thick? seems like they are now mostly 0,3-0,2 mm.

That cheap china store that doesn't even photograph their own products, but steals random photos from the internet?? Nooo thanks.

They work though... They protect the phone from being scratched or dropped, even if you get a bad one you could buy another at that price from a different vendor on ebay/aliexpress.

Go ahead and get yours for 50 bucks then. haha. FYI, Alibaba's networth was 231 billion dollars, and that was back in 2014. =)

I got a tempered glass screen protector for my iPhone7 from Alibaba. It was 1.05 dollar with free delivery. 50 dollars for one screen protector??? This is madness.

BMXmagic8 I usually pay under $1 on aliexpress

To be honest, not a single company sells true tempered glass anymore. Since the cheapest ones are around $2 now, with them being the ones most bought, every seller just puts the word “tempered” on it and worries no more. Sad, but true.

Lol

Been there done that!-(

+jenellev12: well damn that sucks.

Buy an otter box they work amazingly

thats fucked up

cyberborberb The side that is on the screen has a plastic layer.

strider is correct*

+Travis Miller Thanks!

Nvm I got a new one 😂

CorrectOcean is he actually? They sound similar.

Darold Brooks Yea I stopped buying them too .. Glass on top of glass is to much pressure on the phones screen when It falls.

😂

It's depends on how your phone falls, if the impact point is on the frame then the frame will squeeze the glass and caused it to crack while keeping the screen protector intact, the screen protector only help if your phone is fall while the screen is facing down so the protector could absorb the shock or something fall directly on your screen

I’d rather just spend $100 for glass replacement then go through all of this process

Same thing happened to me

I think it would work .... Your phone would def not pick up any STD's..... 😂😝

SgtPiggie or his hole

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Yes...but it kills that delicate touch feel, so using your phone won't be nearly as pleasurable.

Lol u guys take this dudes joke too damn seriously

whats the link

goes to ebay gets 6 for 3$

go to amazon

2 to 5 usd are kinda worth it

@@_._._.o._._._ they are not a. Case protect the phone perfectly fine

Katze I highly doubt there are no micro scratches

+Mr. SpookyPants a few, tiny, very hard to spot ones. By scratch I mean ones you can see.

Katze sadly, it's only a matter of time lol

@@PetCreeer I've never scratched a gorilla glass screen.

+Taylor Lance Scratch prevention ftw 👍🏻

That's what I ended up doing 😂

Kaffarov it's not real tempered glass

Still worth it

+BrieoRobino Not the first time I've gotten that lol

#AJ • same and it's really good still

Oscar Herrera yup!

i got mine at T-Mobile for $15. But i might need to remove it when my lifeproof case comes in, do any of you know if i need to remove it?

+Dank Wank What is a lifeproof case ?

Dank Wank yes you will

you profile pic 😨

Terry Bb Wrong

Milo Sarabia ?

Terry Bb dbrand skins aren't ugly

miken505 close my protecter was 8 but the case was 20 good job m8

miken505 try an iPhone X defender case and tempered glass screen. My phone is military grade

@@Itsjaihhh rip ur iphobe x bc xs and xs max 🙁

Gamers what's wrong with not having the latest bleeding edge phone lmao

@@madnub9527 nah i didnt say buy a new phone im just saying how bad it is that apple discuntinued the iphone x wich is 1 year old and the 6s im always against buying a new phone when it comes out because it isnt worth the pricetag just because some "new features"

RSpyman I reckon you are right, they only protect against scratches. Still if you like me can get one for $5 or less it might be worth it. That combined with a sturdy phone armor and you've got a fighting chance against drops.

I'm so glad you are coming from China

dollors?

+jason virtuspro dollars

I know I got one for 10 also

I got mine for 1 dollar wtf lmao I got it off amazon and I also get them for 5 dollars in 5below. Lol idk were y'all been bc y'all spending to much

i've got mine for 3 euros hahah (iphone 6)

That’s 3 🤫

Elliot Nunez Another word: Aliexpress

www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MG7ATNP/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 has all you've mentioned for under 10 bucks.

Walter H. White 1st off, what I'm about to say might sound negative, but that doesn't mean I'm saying to avoid eBay protectors, I personally buy them all the time and prefer them than any other protector just for savings alone. 2nd, to your post, Not really though. I owned Supershieldz for a HTC M8 and a Galaxy S6. They're part of the "cheap chinese" I was talking about. The 1st warning flag is when one brand seems to have a protector for every make and model out there, or when their site even says the word "USD" No American company is going to go through that trouble. The thing is about cookie-cutter protectors, even the glass ones, is that most protectors are the exact same product. They're wholesale blank units made in mass for cheap, bought in bulk, re-branded, re-packaged, and re-sold as a stand-alone product. But most importantly... their marketing can't be taken at face-value. What I mean is what the package says, isn't always going to be true. I'll start with the 6 things on the package, and move onto the "lifetime warranty" And you can observe what I'm going to say if you have a Supershieldz protector, or even another protector if you got it from ebay. #1 Anti-fingerprint. A lie. Anyone with a glass protector that they spend less than $5 on can test this, and likely already knows this. If it says on the package it's anti-finger print, don't be fooled, it still collects fingerprints. #2 HD Film. Fancy words, but no. This is a transparent affixed to the protector for safety-sake. It keeps a broken protector from being dangerous to handle. Its not HD, its just clear. Protectors that aren't so clear are non-glass anti-glare/matte protectors. If its glass, it isn't HD, its just glass. #3 Real Glass. No argument here. #2 and #4's properties exist because its glass. With many protectors you'll find that packaging will make like 3 or 4 benefits of glass, and boast it as a feature, like the product is special. Its not. #4 Extreme sensitive. Nope. Its just thin enough to prevent obstructing inputs to your digitizer. Your finger glides cause its a smooth glass surface. #5 9H Ultra Hard. Does not exist with protectors. This is the least I'll type, but it's the biggest lie. #6 Oleophobic coating. Another lie right up there with #1 and #5. Just as sure as fingerprints, this/these protectors will show smudging oils, and moister isn't repelled. Take a phone, keep it level, and get a droplet of water and observe. The water will do what it can to hold onto the glass of you slightly tilt your device. If there was an oleophobic coating, that water bead would jettison itself off that surface with almost no effort. # Lifettime Warranty: Good luck finding an Amazon/eBay shop that will honor returns older that 30 or 90 days depending on shop. They'll almost surely direct you to the website of whatever that "brand" is, and ask you to inquire returns there. Most likely being a company created through Chinese-wholesale products, you can expect response times, headaches, long ship times, and if you're lucky, manage to score a replacement and have it in hand in less than a month. You got about a (and im making this stat up) 50/50 shot of never hearing from them again after you send your broken protector in. These "companies" bank on the assumption that because you may have spent less than $5 a unit, that you're not going to hold them to their word or challenge them (not like you could). And most people don't. This is warranty in name only. And you better have kept that super-disposable packaging if you attempt a return. Because they're cookie-cutter protectors, they know that their product is the same as everyone else's. They wont even consider replacing unless you have the package to prove its theirs. # Bonus: I noticed on that page it mentioned "bubble free" Yeah... thats what glass does. Isn't really a feature. Still though. I recommend getting a cheap glass protector for impact-buffering alone, however their "features" they print on the packaging or type on the list page are either most likely false or stretched truths.

+Miku Ivalice even though they lie it's still the same product as literally everyone else's right? If that's the case I say go with the cheapest options

Well the expensive ones wouldn't be the same, but they wouldn't have much or any advantage over the cheap ones. Like take RhinoShield for example. They have their own screen protectors. Thats their brand, they make it. That protector is cut for devices unique to their company. It should be noted that any legit company in the United States that sell their own screen protectors, doesn't make screen protectors for virtually every phone regardless of make and model. However, some brands like Supershieldz, MagicGuardz, Apex, EZ Guards, etc... all use the exact same product, under different packaging. Brands like Aegis and Pavoscreen are also chinese, but they're also a little pricier, and come with an extra feature in their kits that assist people with perfect-application to a device. I'm sure many of us have ordered several glass protectors for several phones we've owned, under several brands. Like, isn't it suspicious to anyone that brands like Apex and Magicguardz come with the exact same package shape, exact same cleaning towelettes, the exact same dust-removal stickers? That everything is the exact same except the branding of the package of outside? I don't know the parent company name, but a few chinese manufacturing facilities are making cheap protectors that can fit dimensions of any make and model, and they're sold to other Chinese companies that add their own branding to the outside cases, and resell them. And these chinese companies can add anything to their packaging they want to get you to buy them. They know that if they're in China, and you buy a glass protector for $3, and you're not happy with it, what are you going to do about it? They can print things like "9H hardness" on screen protector package, even though Corning's cutting-edge glass on phones aren't even 9H. Or "Oleophobic coating" that prevents fingerprints and oil smudging, yet the protector still fingerprints and smudges. Even with the lies, I totally recommend people just buy the cheaper protectors. Its still another layer of glass. I'm just saying that the $5 and below protectors arent the same as the $20 and up, but you're not going to get much benefit at all with the more expensive ones, and the cheap ones lie about their features. Your phone is likely Corning Gorilla Glass, so a screen protector is like putting a light jacket over a heavy jacket. Which is better to have and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Its just that I've owned many phones, especially out of the last 5 years. I hold onto one for a few months, and I ultimately sell it and use that money to buy a new one. I've owned a G1 (The 1st Android phone), A Galaxy, Galaxy S2, S3, S6, S7 Edge, Note 4, HTC Evo 3D, HTC M7, M8, M9, Nexus 5, Nexus 6, LG G1, G2, G3, G5, OnePlus 3T, and I'm sure I might be missing another phone or two from that list, but my point is, I know screen protectors. They're the 1st thing I buy for any device I've owned except for the 1st 3 devices on the list I've worn bare. I've noticed and learned the similarities of many screen protectors. And its not just screen protectors, but other accessories too.

Oh dam! Unlucky man.

My sister dropped her phone without a protector and the LCD screen broke too but the screen protector you had probably didn't take as much impact as it should have

Very easy. Just be aware of the broken glass

are'

+GamewithBrica YTB I thought so, too, but actually he's right.It's meant to say "and."

Doesn't make a difference if they are or aren't really.

TechDaily ok thanks

jordan rausch of course

maybe dun dun dun

jordan rausch no they dissolve in water

They Don't

But your phone is ugly

Jk

No specific brand, its just a generic once I received. Its not a special name-brand one unfortunately.
