The TOUGHEST screen protector for ANY iPhone? Mous Hybrid Glass Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มิ.ย. 2024
- So after all that, here’s what I’ve learned about Mous’s Hybrid Glass Screen Protector. It’s stupidly tough. Despite how thin it is.
If anybody is looking for a tough screen protector that doesn’t feel sticky, you should consider the hybrid glass. It’s definitely way tougher than glass and is ~almost as tough as a full PET screen protector.

Vs. Plastic - 00:06:22
Vs. Glass - 00:07:38
At the end of the day, I would definitely recommend the Hybrid Glass over most regular PET screen protectors. Now between actual glass and Hybrid Glass? It’ll depend.
-What makes Mous's Hybrid Glass Special?-
When I first installed the Hybrid Glass, I was surprised at how thin the product was especially when compared to a similar product, the Sapphire Defense from Zagg.
Installation of the product was incredibly easy and I will say that Mous’s method of installation beats the frame method used by Zagg and is simpler than Spigen’s trat.
Now unlike Zagg, Mous is a little more straight forward when it comes to their product descriptions as nothing is infused, it’s just a layer of glass on top of polyethylene terephthalate or PET. I didn’t come across any issues with the adhesive as the edges of the screen protector didn’t show any bubbling, a problem you’d find on cheaper products.
Now what’s the benefit of this setup? Well, with the glass layer, you get smoothness and the “clarity” of glass and with the PET layer, you get impact protection. The “clarity” to me is a bit of a stretch since you’re still viewing your iPhone through the PET layer.
-Hybrid Glass vs. Regular PET-
Now there are THREE benefits (and two downsides) to the Hybrid Glass screen protector over the PET version. First of all, the Hybrid glass has the same smooth feeling as glass. My goto high impact plastic screen protectors is the one from Evolutive Labs and despite being very smooth, still has a slightly tacky feel to it.
The second benefit comes from the oleophobic coating. With the glass coating, you’ll get a slightly better fingerprint resistance for the first few months.
The third benefit is that the glass coating is going to offer better scratch protection than the PET version. My finger nails can actually leave marks on the plastic screen protector whereas the Hybrid glass stays clear.
Now the only con, when compared to the PET screen protector is that it ~might not be as tough. From my perspective, the thicker the screen protector is, more protection it’s going to offer. How much more protection will it offer? It’s hard to say given that both of the screen protectors I used in this video both took a stupid amount of punishment BUT the 100% PET screen protector took hits a little better.
-Hybrid Glass vs. Regular Glass-
So how does the Hybrid glass compare against normal tempered glass? It’s way more durable. I’ve shown that already. And safer as there’s almost no glass that goes flying around the so if drop your iPhone a lot, choose the Hybrid Glass over tempered glass.
Now the Hybrid screen protector is more scratch resistant than the regular PET one BUT this scratch comparison pales in comparison to the average tempered glass screen protector.
From my perspective, the scratch resistance is maybe around 5-6H where as the glass would be around 9H and regular plastic being around 3H. This is the first downside when compared to actual glass.
The second downside is the coverage. Glass can be formed, grinded and polished down to provide 100% coverage for your iPhone screen. You can’t do that with plastic so the edges of the iPhone are left exposed. Now as harrowing as that is, you just saw me drop my iPhone a ton of times and the iPhone’s fine. I was using the Mous Clarity with the Hybrid Glass and that case has oversized corners which helps with the screen protection.
The last thing I’ll mention is that even being incredibly thin, the edge will be noticeable especially if you’re transitioning from an edge to edge screen protector.

*throws phone at carpet in a case* well pfft even my naked phone could've
*starts hitting it with a fire extinguisher* :O oh wow okay... jeez
Heh.
Later that day on Craigslist: lightly used iPhone for sale, always kept in case with screen protector!
Lol
Your reviews a outstanding. I’ll definitely use your links to order anything from Amazon from now on to help the channel out. Think I’ll become a patron too just to help a little. Thanks for all the testing you do.
Love your reviews. 🦅🦅☝🏻
Love your review videos! Getting a new iPhone-the first time not getting a 2+ year old outdated, refurb model-and your reviews saved me from buying a junk case and screen protector. I like how you do real-life scenarios but then take it to the extreme to see what it takes to damage them! AND you give us promo codes?! Awesome!
Your reviews won me over! Just bought the clarity case and hybrid glass screen protectors. Thanks for the discount!
Love watching your videos, I showed them to my Dad and he decided to get a mous case because of you (also got the discount through you) he is going to love it when I send him this video, he will probably order the hybrid one now
:) Nice!
It scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7. Oh wait, wrong channel
Bazinga?
@@MobileReviewsEh 😂
Steel is about 4.4 and yes wrong channel lol
Too much Jerry for you
MobileReviewsEh send it to zach why don’t you?
i stumbled upon your channel because i just got the XS Max today and i have to say, you create really high quality videos and i love it
Thank you so much i have just ordered a mous clarity case + a hybrid glass screen protector and used you 20% off code. Only £35! ....... again thank you so much 😊
Used your mouse discount code today (from your website) and got a new limitless 3 and two hybrid screen protectors. Thanks for allowing me to get such a good deal 👍🏻
"And Monty's gonna help too" translation: Monty stares at Aaron for 10 minutes (but what do you expect, he's just a dog) 😂
Woof! - Monty
Thank you for this great review. I just bought one for my XS because of this video.
Nice!
Awesome test. And the comparison was really helpful. Think I’ll do the Hybrid 🤓
Didn’t seem to see any links tho
I have the mous clear case and it’s dope. Slim, protective, and has a nice loon to it. It’s a must get
Thank you for the great and unbiased reviews you provide, just made a 70 euro order on their website and used your code. Keep up the good work
I really like your videos. They seem very detailed in comparison to others
:)
Heck yeah man! I have one put one so I’m glad to know that it’s one of the top tier ones!
Nice.
Very high quality video content and deserves more clout
Thank you thank you thank you!! I've been looking for a screen protector for my Note 20 Ultra for several days unsure of which to buy. The ratings on Amazon for screen protectors are worthless bc they have a ton of reviews for completely different items. I watched the video where you tested 17 different ones and every single one that I wanted were either discontinued or that particular "model" wasn't made for my phone. After seeing this video and the deliberate abuse these can take I'm getting one. Thanks again.
really appreciate your reviews aaron!!!!
:)
I really like the smooth, soft, rubber like, feel of the hybrid. It also doesn't protrude beyond the edges of my very slim Google Pixel case. Highly recommended.
I know this comment is two years old but how is the screen protector holding up?
Your code is still working in Jan 2020, and on top of existing discounts! Stoked to use it for protecting my new 11 Pro, as you've sold me on Mous cases =)
Very nice, that screen protector is definitely added to my wish list
It's neat.
Could you make a video of how much of a benefit it would be to install a plastic screen protector and then a tempered glass one on top? Since plastic is good for shock resistance and absorbing vibrations and glass is good against scratches
Another good review. Keep them up!
:)
Love the vids keep them coming
:)
Great detailed review 👍
I will forever use the impact shield from rhino shield. I remember when you dropped that heavy metal ball on your iPhone 6 screen way back and I’ve been using it senses from my iPhone 6, my 8 and on all future devices!
Imagine just seeing a guy smashing his phone with a camera in a parking lot 😂
As a watcher & subscriber since your beginning, your videos excite, terrify, calm & reassure me about all my phones. It's kind of like the Ed Sullivan shows (yeah I AM old!) :-) I never even consider any new phone or related product until I have scoured your channel for information which might save me from a very expensive mistake. NO idea why any other channel would even TRY to compete as there is no comparison.
On another note, I even have used Monte as "live bait" in my attempt to get my wife to let me have a dog for company during the day when she still works (I am retired so home alone). That and even Wounded Warriors offered to get me a Service Animal but STILL no way she will let me have one so I have to come here just for my dog "fix". Please NEVER stop the videos as I can't find anything that offers all of the above along with honest entertainment (like the video where the cleaning crew came in lat at night when you were trying to shoot at the end of the video:-)

Your reviews are extensive, well explained & simply the best on TH-cam. Thank you for being so passionate about what you do. And thank you for the discount code! I’m getting a new iPhone & decided on the Contour Speckled case.
Just bought the case and hybrid glass protectors was very pleased with the case ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ the screen protector on the other hand.... well that’s a whole different story. (I do mobile phone repair) Just installed it, cleaned the phone before putting the hybrid glass on. There are so many stinking air dots all over the screen. I used to plastic squeegee it came with. To no avail, apparently those hundred of tiny dots are missing glue areas under the microscope. On top of that there are massive glue lines all over the screen and phone. So sadly $20 wasted and ⭐️
Can you do a review on the Mous Clarity Case?
Edan Zinn he did
Love the videos
:)
It is a pretty nice screen protector, My complaints with the thing is that after awhile it gets SUPER wrinkled and can even break making you need a new one (okay that's fine) but it leaves some nasty residue on your screen that's super hard to get off. Otherwise, good for midifating scratches just replaced mine and my screen was so shinyyy (cept for the goo)
So the oleophobic coating isn’t as good as regular glass right? 🤔
@MobileReviewsEh can you please do a review on the Iblason armor box and the Fogeek otter box copies and budget cases please? Thanks
thank you ! this is best review on screen protectors... can you find a screen protector for samsung a 20 ?:O
This is the screen protector I use!
Hey! Just want to ask if the Mous screen protector offers an edge to edge screen protection? Because I’m one of those people that just needs it to be perfectly covered. It’s just easier one the eyes for me 😂
Can you please review: Phantom Menace vs. The Last Jedi
I'm not even in the market for a new screen protector but MobileReviewsEh is always so interesting and high-quality that I owe it a watch.
/highfive
Based on your review in another video I ordered the Flolab NanoArmour. I would like your opinion on how that compares to any of these, please.
Love the vids and will continue to support a Canadian ❤️🙌 Learning more than I knew ... just bought iPhone XS Max a couple days ago. I’m wanting a good, comfortable and protective support for this investment. Can I use the hybrid glass screen protector with their max limitless 2.0 aramid carbon fibre case? Thanks
Yep.
can u do a review of the Dbrand prism screen protector vs the Rhino Sheild impact protector. Thanks!
I bought one, and used the code. :)
Does the limitless 4.0 come with a screen protector? It doesn't mention it on the product page.
@MobileReviewsEh
Which would you choose to protect an iPhone 12 Pro Max screen out of Caseology Tempered Glass Protector or Mous Hybrid Screen Protector? I’m very careful with my phone and don’t drop it or throw it in my pocket or bag along with keys or coins etc.
Thanks.
Is the tempered glass screen protector from Mous the toughest they have? Does it hold up better than the other two?
Man! Please reply, big fan of your video and monty! I just want to ask that you have shown a edge to edge glass screen protector at 8:43 is that one is compatible with mous limitless 2?
Moid Khan - Hey, this video is too old for him to see your comment. You’re better off waiting and posting on the next one he releases (even if it is unrelated) or going through the website. After a week or two he stops reading the comments on his videos because he’s moved on to the next thing and he has WAAAAAYYYY too many posted on his channel to follow all of the comments.
He has several posted on screen protectors, but there are a lot of factors that go into the compatibility. He recommended that I try the Flolab 3D edge to edge tempered glass with a beveled edge for the iPhone XR, but wouldn’t necessarily suggest that same screen protector for ALL iPhone models.
If you don’t feel like waiting for to catch up with him, buy one that he suggests and try it out. From what I’ve noticed, most companies offer a free return window if you are unhappy... but keep a mous hybrid screen protector or the freebie from the case handy until you find one that fits your phone, needs, and case.
He mentioned the Flolab protector on his website.
Would you recommend this over the apple screen protector
Awesome,love your high quality product and Mous is my favourite case so why not buy it.Regular drops won’t be as gruesome as what you have done.Bought e and a case ,promo code works thank you!!
:)
Thanks Bob!
Is the mous hybrid glass better or the flolab nano armor? Please let me know
Monty is the most chill dog ever.
Ouch! Nice review!
:)
Thank you for your Mous Reviews. I used your link to buy my 6 cases. I showed my boss your hybrid glass screen protector review and she got more interested in your waist dog leash device LOL! Can you let her know about where you got that? Maybe you can do a review for that as well. 😂
please do a Vid where you apply a liguid screen protector together with a glass screen protector
Love it

Thank you my dude.
Cool thanks.
you rock!
What breed is your dog, it's so adorable and also nice video!

does the protector covering the notch interfere with the face id, depth sensor, or selfie camera?
Can you review the Spigen Neo flex or the RhinoShield Impact Protector for s10? Thanks!
I need help! I am in the market for a seriously rugged iPhone 12 Pro Max case. I watched a lot of your videos and watched some more. I decided to go with the Mous Limitless 4.0, so I go to order it and BAM! ALL SOLD OUT! contacted CS and they won’t be back in stock for another month! Do you know where I can get one elsewhere! Do you guys have one I could buy? In the first 3 weeks I managed to crack and destroy a Gear4 Piccadilly case. Now my phone is naked and I don’t dare to even use it til I can get a seriously rugged case... Amazon is also SOLD OUT! any suggestions? Thanks so much for the great TH-cam content!
2:46 Looks like u needed a glass screen protector for ur windshield
It doesnt show physical signs of cracking on screen. But how does it deal with the impact distribution?
Just a question about the OtterBox Defender/Pro and the Pursuit. I know you say that more materials mean more protection, but do you find that the plastic shell of the Defenders tend to scratch your phones? I've seen people say as much in the past, but I'd like to know if it's a widespread, worrisome issue. The thing holding me back from the Pursuit case is the slippery back, although it seems to have more side screen protection. What do you think?
Dust and debris will get between the case and the back over time. The Pursuit is a little better with the dust/debris (from what I remember). Both are going to be pretty tough...I think the biggest issue is going to be size...Defender is big, Pursuit is slimmer.
Please review PureGear screen protectors. They are extremely common in US carriers
what's better mous or floblabs screen protector?
Hey can you please review Mous's Clarity case??
Nadiya Aman he did
I have the Whitestone dome glass screen protector for my Note 20 ultra. It has two chipped areas on the side from accidentally dropping it and hitting the center console. What other screen protectors are good for the note 20 ultra?
do you have a video for the iPhone 12 pro max screen protector?
I just put a glass screen protector on top of the hybrid plastic Mann I get the feel of the glass screen plus the hybrid protector under it 🥰 Try it it works 💪
Sounds like overkill!
@@Mandy_39 actually still wasn't enough still broke 🤣🤣
What is your opinion on the URBAN ARMOR GEAR UAG iPhone XR [6.1" Screen] Monarch Feather-Light Rugged [Crimson] Military Drop Tested iPhone Case for the iPhone XR and what glass screen protector is THE VERY BEST for the XR is it still the FloLab -- if so which one 2D, 3d or ??
I click for the reviews I stay for Monty’s reaction
So is the p e t mous screen protector better or the hybrid mous?
How many screen protectors do you get in the packet?
What case does he use and is the case good with drops?
Ordered 👍👍👍👍
:)
MobileReviewsEh Just received and it really looks great. Easy installation and all you mentioned 😉
Is it stronger than the Flolabs protector for an iphone 11 pro max?
I’m a rhino shield fan could you do a review on Lensun and Slmply Carbon Fiber screen protector I actually have both
I'll check out the Lensun. The SCF one is just a regular tempered glass screen protector.
Good one
I do wish you have some sort of scratch resistance test. I know it might be expensive, but some mohs picks would really add to your review I think.
I agree
Good idea.
@@sprite8666 please do mohs picks on liquid screen protector... I need to prove to some people it dosent do anything
@@sprite8666 it dosent provide any extra scratch resistance over your normal glass
Zane Zinn but it tests to what degree the protector will scratch
Finally! I was waiting for you to review Mous’ hybrid screen protector. Was it easy to install it yourself?
I wish they made the hybrid screen protectors for iPads on top of just smartphones.
Do you find it best of both worlds or do you still prefer the impact protection from Rhinoshield?
Jason Ong it’s pretty easy to install, especially with the tray they give ya for it!
Their install was a breeze. I like it better than the Rhinoshield one because it's thinner.
DovahkiinJohn cool. Makes me more confident to get it and install it by myself.
MobileReviewsEh gasp 😱
It’s thinner than the Rhinoshield’s screen protector?! The 3D glass or the impact?
Jason Ong they have an installation video on their website if you want to check it out
Looks like you been testing out your windshields protection too 😂
Could you test the dbrand prism screen protector?
I'll check it out.
MobileReviewsEh thank you so much, btw you’re one of my favorite youtubers to watch. Keep the content going!
Heck yeah
Review the mouse clarity case for the iPhone XS Max?
Waiting for the updated cases to show up.
Get “Bertha” to test both this Mous Hybrid Glass vs RhinoShield Impact Protector...
i like how the fork cracked it
Weird thing happened I ordered this mous protector and I applied it and it had bubbles. I told mous them selves and they are sending me a full replacement. But... the bubbles disappeared over night 🙃. So I’m getting a free screen protector 😁. I also told them to cancel the order and they didn’t. I love mous
Nice. Bubbles on most screen protectors usually go away after a day or so unless there's stuff under it.
Can you use this with the Rhinoshield SolidSuit or Mod NX cases ?
I wonder how it will stand to finger corrosion with use day to day.
What screen protector is the best
how would this compare to the d-brand prism
haha I am buying two phone cases. The screen protector is 49.99 for a 2 bundle. bc I'm bundling it with the cases it went down to 24.99. your code took off another 30 dollars. 2 FREE SCREEN PROTECTORS thanks for the video :)
This guy hitting it with a fire extinguisher WTF 🤯😲.
I trust your reviews
:)
Which case are u using in this video
ohhhhhhh ur at Calgary !!!! Hello !!!!
what case are you using?
