So.. $70 for a screen protector that covers up the edges of your screen and isnt the fancy new dustless application method? Why is every major company failing to make a decent screen protector this year?
Shellrus can't use the "anti-dust, easy installation" method because sapphire is less flexible than tempered glass. On Shellrus's website FAQs, they said, "We’ve tried various fancy tools, but they don’t work well with sapphire because it’s not as flexible as tempered glass. This makes it more likely for air pockets to get trapped in the middle, which are tough to remove."
I am also kinda dissapointed at this moment. Found this channel a couple of days ago but this is just odd as hell. Why would someone buy a screen protector for 70$+ a piece if you can get 3$ a piece screen protectors which get the same rating he puts out. This just makes no sense
@@gelgel4823 why would I want such a screen protector? If you phone drops your 70$ is gone. When my 3$ screen protector gets scratches from things sharpen than a knife or a diamond (lul) I replace it with another 3$ screen protector.
They solved the problem that does not exist by introducing a bigger one. A good protector does not shatter and its goal is to protect the screen. Scratch test of the screen protectors is meaningless. You actually want screen protectors to be made of "softer" glass. It's disposable and when it scratches - just replace it.
What makes the Shellrus sapphire not a screen protector? The purpose of the Shellrus sapphire screen protector is to protect the screen from scratches until level 10 on the Mohs scale hardness rather than drop protection, it will still protect your screen from a drop. If you prioritize drop protection, choose tempered glass instead. Even some tempered glass screen protectors cracked at 2 ft. with a 2.4 oz steel metal ball.
I have a tempered glass screen protector on my phone after two years had a couple of light scratches. The screen protector cost me nine dollars and did its job. I suppose I could replace it for another nine dollars if I wanted to. Now explain to me why would spend more money on a screen protector than a protective case for my phone.
yea but it's just a screen protector, it doesn't matter if it scratches. In fact it's more important that it doesn't shatter because you can't keep using a shattered screen protector but you can keep using a scratched screen protector.
Hoda is better has anti dust installation it has more coverage on the screen has protection for drops. I bought 3 shellrus screen protectors in less than a for each of them broke from the littlest drop I’ve had 1 hoda the rest of the time I have had my phone and light don’t bleed though the sides nearly as much

The screen protector was not held down like that, I could hear it sliding around the box. Also did not get a tempered glass backup. Not sure if this is because I preordered but you got all the bells and whistles. I’m also confused on how easy it was to crack it. AWUs and rear camera glass is using sapphire and there are hammer tests where it didn’t break, how come this only took a 2ft drop.
@@mitchisreal sorry about that, we waited until the last minute to produce the screen protectors, we weren't able to finish the packaging for some model in the first batch. Email us for a $10 refund if that's acceptable.

Imo, screen protectors that come with hard plastic backings like this are the worse to install. All the screen protectors that I get that uses this kind of backings all end up having dust underneath the protector no matter how slow or fast you remove it. Those generic plastic film like the tempered glass version is still better at helping the installation, since you can peel it off as you install the screen protector.
@@va.m4386 I've heard good things about the Torras screen protector with the installation tray. Spigen one was pretty good initially, but I along with some others have the issue with the screen protector not adhering to the side of the phone. Currently I'm using Belkin's screenforce since it doesn't have black borders and it's relatively easy to apply even without the tray.
Sapphire is expensive, and Shellrus even stated they can’t offer a free replacement due to the high production cost. This is for those who want absolutely no scratches at all, they can't be scratched until level 10 at Mohs scale hardness. There are tempered glass screen protectors that are cheaper than $10. If you don't care that your tempered glass screen protector will scratch at level 6 on the Mohs scale hardness, choose it.
🤦♂️ Any scratches that you think you see were either on the screen of the dummy phone or fibers from the microfiber cloth. I explained this in the video. I would tell you if there were any scratches but there weren’t any.
Legit 2 minutes before your timestamp he points out those scratches underneath the protector. Concrete cannot and does not scratch sapphire. It is physically impossible.
This video is a pure low quality ad for a below average product. Besides the improved scratch resistance, nothing is good about this screen protector, even if you tried hard to make it look good and justify the flaws (the black borders that covers a portion of the screen, no anti dust easy installation, light bleeding from the edge, poor performance when used with polarized glasses vs Flolab and others, drop test, extremely high price point, even the first 8min long scratch test methods are stupid not to say biased). Extremely disappointed with this "review", and lost trust in this channel. Last but not least, the title?! How can someone stop wasting money by using a $ 70 screen protector that will shatter with any light impact... I rather have a $4 scratched glass screen protector that can absorp few drops and protect the screen, as it name suggests : "screen protector"

@@gelgel4823 Man come on, the product is 70 USD, and the video title says "STOP Wasting Money on Cheap Screen Protectors". If the installation fails from the 1st trial as we can see on the review, then what's the point of a scratch proof screen protector with bubbles and dust behind the glass. Should I order 2-3 units to make sure I get the installation right? Then where is the money saving the title promises? Regarding the very boring 8 minute long scratch test over the concrete, this test makes absolutely no sense, when we know that this sapphire 70 USD protector will completely shatter as soon as it touches the ground... That's stupid as it can be. Plus, glass can't be scratched by keys and razor blade, it's scientifically impossible and always demonstrated by JerryRigEverything, so better stick with the Mohs test and save us 8 minutes.
@@Otmanes1 I don't agree with the title of the video as tempered glass screen protectors can do the job of protecting your smartphone screen if you're finding yourself dropping your smartphone more often, but there are still cases where your tempered glass screen protector still gets scratch, such as sand and grit. No matter where you are in the world a few particles of sand will always make it into everything. Sometimes grit can even have tiny diamonds. They would be the type of particles that come off a diamond drill bit or a similar tool. Claiming that the anti-bubble installation method that we see in tempered glass screen protectors works all the time is stupid. There are about 2 instances where HighTechCheck got a perfect installation from a tempered glass screen protector from what I remember. out of like 30+ tempered glass screen protectors.
@@gelgel4823 You're right in everything you mentioned here. But my personal opinion for my own personal use : a good tempered glass with a bit of flex combined with a good dust-free installation tool are better than a rigid Sapphire protector with no dust-free installation tool (I tried the Flolab one for s24 ultra and my experience was flawless and any bubble can be easily removed with the included squeegee). It's still an expensive glass protector at 15 USD, but with 55 USD left, I can still get a good protective case. And yes, it will still scratch with sand particles or diamond particles but will not shutter easily from the first impact.

Don't spend $10 on glass, 6-7 is a fair price for that if shipping is included.
lol that 2 feet is disappointing af! 😂😂
Can you review prism 2.0 from dbrand for iPhone 16 pro max please
Might not scratch but, will crack at the sound of a fart.
If you are looking for something that's not gonna crack, plastic is the material to go. Glass cracks very easily as well.
2 ft is crazy, literally amongst the worst on this channel. don't give them pass bc it's sapphire 🤦🏽♂️
Slap a piece of tape on your screen, it won't crack even when dropped from 1000ft
You should've added the "includes paid promotion" tag.
Disappointed 👎🏻
I have a disclaimer in the video description as well as youtube telling you it has a paid promotion when you watch the video?
We didn't pay Tony for making any review video about our products.
Overpriced, breaks at2 ft, got 3 ESR & no bubbles for $7 & resist finger prints. These fancy protectors not worth it
$7 sounds like a good deal. Don't pay for more than $10 for glass, they are dirt cheap.
15:57 there are cleary scratches on the screen
