Phantom Glass Screen Protector

2014-08-05
I don't often review screen protectors why you might ask well it's because most of them are complete garbage they're not very clear they're difficult to apply they make the screen feel weird and then finally they come off it's a terrible user experience and I don't use them personally in fact I've only done a screen protector review once when I did a real-world test of a product called liquid armor which I continued to use to this day by dragging a protective phone and a dummy control phone down the street behind my motorcycle this time unfortunately I don't have anything so extreme planned but what I do have is a really impressive screen covering product from a basically unheard of Canadian company it's called phantom op penta hourglass it's called phantom glass and it's the first product since liquid armor that has really gotten my attention and made me think about switching the flash voyager GTX USB 3 drive from Corsair provides SSD light performance and fits comfortably in your pocket click now to learn more all right so what is it well in a nutshell you know that super cool scratch resistant Corning Gorilla Glass that you've got on your phone and all likelihood well it's a screen protector that's made of that instead of some lame-o piece of plastic that means it's flexible shatter resistant scrape resistant only a phobic so it's easy to wipe clean and it's almost perfectly clear it won't hurt the touchscreen performance and finally it won't feel any different from the stock glass other than raising the surface of your phone a fraction of a millimeter something that folks who like vinyl wraps from companies like D brand might actually find desirable because it'll be more even but it gets better their claim that I totally didn't believe is that aside from being removable and reusable it's super easy to apply and basically impossible to get bubbles stuck in so after the first step where you use the included wipe to clean the surface of the phone I peeled off the backing and try to lay it down as gradually and carefully as I possibly could because I thought it would be really hard to take off and reapply I ended up not aligning it quite right and it turns out it was both super easy to take off and much easier to put on well then I fought because I checked the instructions when I did it the second time I did two phones in a matter of minutes once I figured it out you just drop it right on the spot on the screen and the bubbles like just work themselves out uses some kind of silicon nano adhesive nonsense to achieve all this but all I know is damn it works really well and once on it actually stays equally impressive it is noticeably thicker like I said especially if you have a button that comes through it like at the bottom of an iPhone but the edges are smooth so they're not harsh on your fingers or anything like that and they won't peel up even if you have a snug fitting case I actually requested two versions of it one for my One m8 daily driver and another for my old iPhone 4 because I wanted to test them this is the last kind of miraculous claim that they're making here I wanted to test their claim that the adhesive coating actually fills micro scratches in the glass on beat up devices so this one I got one for just because I wanted to have one for it this is an over three year old phone that has tons of micro scratches all over the screen so I put it on after first trying to kind of catch some of the scratches in the light and after I did know it doesn't fill in all the scratches but it did make a visible difference many small small scratches were filled in to the point where I can't see them anymore and some of the bigger ones well the visibility is actually reduced so there you go does what it says it is that's it I guess one of the most positive reviews I've ever given on this channel maybe I'm a sellout and they slipped me a couple hundreds maybe it's because I'm biased towards my Canadian bro who brought the product to market or maybe it's because this truly is the first screen protector product that has impressed me in the last two years because it's basically like putting another identical skin of Corning's awesome glass that I'd like a huge fan of as an extra protective layer over top of your original one I'll let you guys decide what my motivation was here speaking
