Slight clarification: -The two cheaper screen protectors, don't claim to be level 9 in hardness specifically, but claim to be "9H". The point I should have added is that 9H is not the same as 9, and that 9H is MUCH weaker, but is used by these companies because it sounds a lot like "level 9", when it actually isn't - which you'll see demonstrated in the video. Thanks for watching once again, really appreciate it ❤️
Yeah I get your point but crucial question is will phone screen underneath actually have been protected or damaged. Personally I hate screen protectors and much prefer the tactility of apple screen. I don’t use them on my iPads and usually take them off my phones after less than a year in irritation. I have one very minor scratch on my iPhone 6s that I’m about to replace with latest iphone 13 pro but phones have become so expensive that I’m trying to decide pre purchase what’s to do for best.
@@lisadefries6718 Yeah, I never used to use screen protectors but got tired of screen scratches on my $1000+ phone. Even small scratches bug me. Now that I've been using the screen protector for a few months now, I really don't mind it. It doesn't feel any different and I like the piece of mind that I can throw it in my pocket and not worry if my keys scratch it. On one of my older phones you could actually see the oleophobic coating worn off where my thumb would scroll.
I think the brick test was probably unsurvivable without additional cases, etc; Sapphire is tougher as well as harder, so it makes sense that it did a little better there, but... screen protectors are replaceable - get the cheapest one that's good and treat it as sacrificial
Hardness and impact resistance are different things though. Even watches with sapphire glass can be shattered. Technically, the only purpose of a screen protector is to act as a "sacrificial" layer in case of accidental impact that could be easily replaced with least $$ by the user.
FYI the material science term is technically toughness. And there are other hardness ratings aside from Mohs like Shore and Vickers. But you’re absolutely right. Tensile and compressive strength matter somewhat too. But good luck finding toughness rating on a consumer product lol
I've never considered drop protection from my screen protectors (that's what the case is for). The only reason I use them is because of micro scratches. I've never deeply scratched or cracked a phone screen, but every phone I've had after a few months has had those tiny micro scratches that you get when you slide a phone in and out of a pocket multiple times a day, or use a finger that has a bit of grit on it. The kind that you only see when you shine light directly on them. I can't stand them and I'd much rather do that to a screen protector than the screen itself.
A bit late to the party, but here is my opinion as I have worked on cracked resistance for ion exchanged glass for some years. Before going too technical, a glass protector will mainly help you avoid scratched to the main glass screen... which usually is very tedious to replace. You could use a plastic screen protector but it will scratch way easier. Sapphire is no gimmick, it will truely prevent more scratches... but for x80 the price, you could simply buy more cheap ones tbh. Breackage on glass is very particular, it is no metal that breaks always after a certain threshold. Breackage is related to the amount of tension applied to it (for phones in the form of an impact) and is inversely proportional to the square of the defects of the glass. Theoretically, glass can whithstand a crazy amount of force, but due to manufacturing processes and manipulation, almost invisible scratches are always formed. Due to this, to measure crack resistance on glass, you need to perform multiple crack tests and use the assumption that the surviability follows a Weibull distribution. By multiple, I mean at least 30 samples. Test usually starts at low levels of impacts and goes higher. Test ends when one sample breaks and that energy is the one recorded for the statistics. To that... if your glass had scratches beforehand, you will significantly lower it's impact resistance... so you either have 2 options... you could use pristine samples for every test, or you could perform an homogeneous scratch to each sample to standarized scratch depths. Counterintuitively, this last option is preferred, you purposely do scratches bigger than the ones your glass had due to manipulation, therefore substantially decreasing the influence of scratches due to manufacturing and manipulation. That said, with this theory in mind... for a 'practical' but yet scientific approach on glass protectors for phones, I could suggest a drop test of phones from a set height. Is possible, have the phone be guided so that always lands on the same surface/corner. Good work btw, the video was interesting. One last thing, as a rule of thumb, when a glass protector (or glass) breaks, the more 'lines' or 'pieces' that are generated, the more energy the glass has released. So if the glass is completly shattered where you could barely see the screen, then the protector has 'absorbed' a lot of energy that otherwise would have gone into your main phone glass. Another good test is to perform a 3 or 4 point bending test on the protectors, and measure the amount of cracks it gets. The more cracks, the better (and more force was required to break). This is related to the ion exchange process that these glasses were supposed to be applied. To that said... Corning was the pioneer on engineering a glass that optimizes the IOX.
This is actually pretty useful knowledge, I used to think that screen protectors are mostly for protecting the screen from scratches and barely help protecting the main screen from damage at all, but knowing now that it DOES actually prevent the main screen from being damaged way more than I expected, and scratches hamper the screen protector's ability to do so, maybe I should probably stock up on cheap screen protectors so that I can replace them each time my old one gets scratched since I do value my phone quite alot despite it being an iPhone XR
A bit late to the party? Lol Bro, I don't see you making a video. Why you gotta act all high and mighty?? Not everyone is a glass nerd... Edit: very cool info tho. I just don't get why you had to start your comment like that
There are 2 things to protect: If you want to protect against scratches, either get the cheapest ones and replace when there's too many scratches OR get the sapphire. If you want to protect against drops and cracks, get a phone case.
The brick test, while entertaining, is a pretty poor simulation of any actual usage. Screens break mostly when phones are dropped, not when heavy things are dropped onto them. Having said that, this was a very useful video. I typically go with a $1 per sheet screen protector that I buy on eBay. I dropped my phone from time to time, and while I get occasional cracks or scratches on the screen protector I have never damaged the underlying screen when I use these screen protectors. Thanks for a great and entertaining video.
Newton's third law. When a force is enacted upon an object by another object, an equal but opposite force is enacted upon the second object by the first. That is, the brick drop test is fundamentally the same as dropping the phone onto a brick. There is an argument to be made about the force observed upon impact because a brick is much more massive than a phone, but the maths can be rearranged to be interpreted as dropping the phone from a much higher distance. In either case, and regardless, it doesn't change the conclusion. A sheet of glass is still a sheet of glass, and it won't save a phone if the drop force is enough to break even the body of the phone. So there's no reason to overpay when a sheet of glass will only ever be just a sheet of glass.
@@PKMNwater bro, yes you can achieve the same amout of force droping your phone, but the difference in weight is huge. An iphone 12 is 164 grams, that brick is probably around 2 kg. Its more than an order of magnitude bigger. To calculate force, you have mass x acceleration, the acceleration is the same at 9,8 m/s for both droping the phone and droping the brick. So if you spit those numbers into a calculator the difference is from 1.6 n to 19.6 n, you would have to drop the phone from ≈12,2 times as high to achieve the same amount of force. It looked like he droped the brick from about 40 cm so its like the phone took a fall from 4.8 meters or about the window of a 2 story building
Screen protectors are really effective. I work in a phone shop and the amount of phones ive seen where a screen protector has saved the phone screen is astonishing. For most people the screen protector saves the phone from a regular fall. And almost evey time someone has shattered the screen under as well, the costumer straight up says the protector was allready cracked when it broke the phone screen.
There's little difference between tempered glass screen protectors regardless of the price. If you just want a sheet of thin glass to cover your screen, stick to the $1 products.
And what if some twat barges into you while you're on the phone and it falls from 6ft after being accelerated out of your hand first, landing screen down. If you're coating your phone in sapphire glass, then you either have the sharpest keys known to man, or you're expecting it to protect from more than just "keys in pocket or a short drop".
@@Reinforce_Zwei your POV seems to be "the phone be indestructible" to be effective. Cases and glass covers minimize damage. Hopefully to 0. But definitely better than not covered.
Back in the days, I bought the first Huawei Watch it comes with Saphire as the front glass. i use the watch everyday to this day and it still haven't got a single scratch on the screen. i even wore it when i hands on renovated our entire house! and still Not a single scratch. saphire might be more expensive but its worth every single penny!
Personnel I think I will go with the $5 or less screen protector. And if I'm dumb enough to drop a brick on my phone or run over it. I'll use my $5 a month insurance and fix it for $25 at the shop down the road or get the phone replaced. Great video!
To be fair, screen protectors are there to protect the screen from *scratches*. Dropping your phone on a hard surface (or dropping a brick on your phone) is always going to generate forces that the phone itself will have difficulty surviving even if the screen protector does survive them.
Actually, I recently accidentally dropped my phone on a hard floor. The screen protector had several cracks in it - I was expecting the worst, but on removing the damaged protector, the screen on my phone was completely undamaged. It certainly saved my phone.
@@DavideMazzetti There is a chance that there is internal damage on the phone so a screen protector won't exactly save it, most if not all products from the market probably won't save your phone if anything it will reduce the chance of a drop or it will reduce the fall damage

As someone who sells screen protectors for a living in a wireless repair shop, this was extremely informative and confirmed what I always thought: the $50 screen protectors sold down the street are pretty much as effective as the ones I sell for $15.
My track record at installing Screen Protectors, even those touted as "bubble free," is beyond dismal. Apple used to (maybe they still do) install them for you, using a gizmo that looked like a sandwich toaster. Were I to fork out £$80, there's no way I'd fit one myself. There's a serious gap in the market for companies that fit them for you. Here in the UK, they're very thin on the ground. Carphone Warehouse used to do it for a fiver, but they don't exist in the High Street anymore!
Bestbuy when you would buy a phone from them had this device too and it was custom so lots of phones would work for some reason they don't carry it anymore which sucks.
I always install all of my protectors, from tempered glass to matte films. The key is to clean your environment, like your desk or table to make sure you’re not just sticking it on top of dust and hair. Then you clean the screen with a lint free cloth and a screen safe spray and apply your protector asap, while pushing out the bubbles gently before it fully sticks. It comes out flawlessly almost every time :)
As someone who's watched your content since about this time, (I came back to this video to rewatch as I'm purchasing a screen protector for a new iPhone), and the energy and quality of the videos has INFINITELY improved since this time, keep up the outstanding work Arun.
Using a S21 and the screen is quite durable to my knowledge - that's why I can't justify ruining my experience with a screen protector - the Gorilla Glass Victus is very impressive
Yeah I gave up on screen protectors on my last phone as well, and I just use a budget phone(Moto G Power). My reasoning was similar, why diminish the experience of using my screen and worry about damage to a phone which only cost me $200. Ironically this phone has lasted the longest at over 4 years use now and not a single issue.
I haven't used any screen protectors on any Galaxy. I've dropped them multiple times on concrete with little to no damage. Seriously, the Galaxy phones are bulletproof.
According to the tests that you did, I rather buy the $1 one. Most of us don't treat our phones like that. I can also replace it 40 or 80 times. The most I have gotten before replacing it is a scratch but nothing on main screen.
doesn't make sense though. he does it for the test. but it's not a real scenario that everyone does. we just drop our phone on the floor not drop a brick on the phone 🤣
There was one brand of screen protectors I always loved and even saved one of my phones once. I can't remember for the life of me the name of the brand since all my recent phones came with protectors already on, but it came in a hard plastic case with black and orange packaging, contained THREE of them, tempered glass and smudge resistant and the whole package was reasonably priced at between $5-10 depending on the phone it was for. If you ever see the orange and black packaging, just know that these are great protectors and do their job well. I dropped my phone once and it landed screen first and the protector cracked all over but the phone screen was completely unharmed. Took forever to get all those glass pieces off though.

Thanks for the video - it confirmed my theory about going for the cheapest protector - which works just fine - but I am annoyed that you destroyed 3 new phones. Extremely wasteful. You could have used three old phones that were still in good condition but ready to be recycled
For me, the screen protector is more to ensure that if I do scratch the surface (not by dropping a brick on it, but from normal life use), I can always just replace the screen protector instead of the screen itself
Exactly, I could have a few of the cheaper one. The biggest likelihood of damage is like keys in my pocket. If I have a secondary cheap one, I just replace it real quick while keeping off damage to my actual screen.
And plus without a screen protector I have to constantly wipe my screen due to fingerprints plus random dust… with a screen protector my finger doesn’t leave a print and if it does get dirty I can easily clean it
I just find a case and a protector to be the best combination, protector protects my screen from scratches when my case isnt closed and my case protects from impact and scratches when im not using my phone
The main takeaway I get is that the testing is all purposeful damage as opposed to the normal accidental damage that rarely leads to breaks or scratches on either screen protector.
Not my experience. Had a Phone slip out of my hand once. Bam: cracked glass. Another phone that was standing up fell over face down: cracked glass screen protector. So it's definitely possible to have accidents damage the screen. I always like to put some level of protection on the screen and use a bumper case
Dropping a brick on it means very little about the hardness. The extra material may help a little more with absorbing the energy, but overall what is happening is that you're transferring all that power into the phone's internal components. It's like hit by a car: the card didn't technically touch your bones inside, but the energy goes through the skin and flesh and still breaks them. You'd need a case to protect against that kind of damage. Overall, investing heavily into a screen protector against scratches is not that good of an idea. Sand is a 7, meaning even gorilla glass won't stop it entirely. And even if you go above it, it won't protect the screen protector from other forms of damage (which, you know, even if your phone is safe, you might start worrying about damaging the 80$ protector, missing the whole point). The best thing is to just go with the cheap but decent. Unless your phone receive actual device-worrying damage, it will only affect the glass sheet on top which you can swap easily. It's the whole point of the part: a cheap sheet you can damage to potentially save your actual screen. Heck, you might be able to find screens for less than 80$, so at that point it just makes no sense.
Me : almost dropped my moms iPhone X on my bed and got an heart attack Arun : buys 3 iPhone 12 s and breaks them and also gets another one. Our life is very different
@@x_x_xx2001 yeah but he could have bought ANY phone out there, for like 10x less money than the iPhone 12 and still proven the same point. This is just wastefullness at its absolute finest
@@x_x_xx2001 I don't want an iPhone or a new phone in general, the one I've got is more than good enough for me. I just dislike seeing someone waste money like this. I mean an iPhone 12 is what ~$800, that means this guy WASTED like $2.5k to prove a point he could have proven using phones that combined don't cost as much as one iPhone 12. Unnecessary waste.
Coming back to this after seeing several instances of cracked glass / screen protectors on phones (due to working at an Apple Service Provider) I must say that, 100%, dropping something heavy on your phone, no matter if it has a screen protector or not, will, in 99% of cases, break the screen or at least break something. The main use for screen protectors are for scuffs and scratches, and sometimes falls too. A fun thing we had done was we had to break a phone's screen (because it was a cheaper option than to repair), a 12 mini to be exact, and it took my co-worker a screwdriver and a literal hammer to break it. Not by hammering it down, by holding the screwdriver and hammering the screwdriver into the screen. It hadn't budged for several attempts. Still, if you don't have a folding case, get a screen protector.
I definitely felt it sitting here watching this on my 4+ year old barely working phone I can't afford to replace. It literally hurt my stomach to watch
@@langtryvlogme JerryRigEverything is the person you should watch after MrWhosetheboss reviews a phone. He shows how durable a phone is. He scratches it and bends it.
Thanks for this video, I've always wondered how reliable some of these expensive screen protector brands actually were. I think your "brick test" at the end might have been overkill... most screen protectors seem to me to be manufactured to protect the phone if you happen to drop it accidentally on the pavement or something. Either way, I can't see spending eighty dollars on one, even though it obviously performed the best... that's ridiculous.
Not really. The brick is a fairly severe impact test, so it is testing the kind of damage that might occur when a phone gets a bad drop. A screen protector could be really hard, but brittle which could pass impact damage straight through to the screen. What is ideal is something which is flexible and hard and dissipates impact energy across a wider area.
Dropping a heavy brick from 2 feet is probably the equivalent amount of energy the phone had to dissipate to dropping the phone from 15 to 20‘ onto a brick or concrete surface. And the two cheaper screen protectors were already compromised from the hammer test, they stood no chance of withstanding another impact.
@JGarbo Your 💯 % correct! The weight of the brick still impacts the phone including the screen back glass and frame no matter what screen protector you have on there. A phone case is more suited for the brick test. That could best absorb the impact and the weight.
I've always gone with thin plastic foil screen protectors, never glass. Haven't had any catastrophic accidents with my phones though, so I've been pretty happy with the protection they provide while being cheap enough to replace once they've become too scratchy from everyday use.
Every time I buy a new phone, one of the first things I do (aside from ordering a case from the brand I'm super loyal to) is to order about a dozen tempered glass screen protectors. Like 5 for $10 or so. The purpose is basically to protect my screen from keys, sliding across a desktop, stuff like that. They work fine. Once every few months something will happen and it'll crack the protector or it'll start to lift somewhere. I just replace it with another $2 protector and keep it moving.
@@woahthere6020 Mous. They're a bit pricey, but I'll never buy anything else unless it somehow let's me down. My phones get knocked around in some way worse than usual ways with the work I do, lol.
@@omsh6000 my repair shop got passively annoyed by the fact that I didn’t buy a screen protector from him so he charged me almost 5 dollrs for just sticking it to the screen.
@Joey Barendsen this man really went as far to compare food to screen protectors. Do you actually know how many ours and difficult it is to prepare steak and sticking a screen protector on a phone wich takes less than 3 minutes. If iam talking about screen protectors, why does bringing steak to restaurant be first thing that comes to mind, does that mean you’ve actually tried. Since preparing steak takes hours to do properly and a screen protector w couple of mins to properly so its way out of the ordinary to you use it as an example.
The biggest issue with screen protectors is best practice you get one on your phone the moment you buy it. As if you have any scratches on the main glass you will always get bubbles. The only exception to this would be resin applied protectors like whitestone dome which fill those scratches with a curable liquid resin before curing but they are about as expensive as screen protectors go and the application process is complicated and easily fucked up to say the least, but worth it if you want to apply a protector then forget about it for years to come. My S22+ has one that has lasted over 3 years now, and my google pixel had one that lasted over 5 years without issues for everyday use.
@@pastelmacaroon no, but the sponsor money does earn as much as you might think... He also mentioned that the phones were provided by the sponsor, he didn't buy them either, and it's safe to assume he got some extra money on top.
But think of how much he made, to make this video? Sounds like a worthy investment. "You have to spend money, to make money." That old adage will always be true.
Sapphire makes great sense in a watch crystal (I like mine). It doesn't make so much sense in a screen protector. Screen protectors are sacrificial parts. They're also temporary parts. Eventually, a screen protector will start to develop bubbles underneath. Now you have air, moisture, and scratch-inducing particulates infiltrating between screen protector and screen. There's no choice but to discard the old protector and install a new one.
@@him1517 Still a waste of 3 perfectly fine displays. The same tests could have been done on less expensive phones, with cheaper and less advanced display technology.
It could very well cracked the Earth's crust and then we'd be in real trouble. Someone needs to make a sapphire protector for the Earth's crust, just in case someone decides to drop a Nokia 3310 on it.
The whole point of a screen protector is that it will get scratched and cracked and then you can replace it with a new one. If you buy an expensive screen protector you are defeating the whole purpose when the costs of replacing the protector becomes more than the whole screen
The brick drop test is a faulty one. The phone weighs approx 200g and so, when you drop it, the impact force = 200g x acceleration. The brick weighs a lot more and there is a lot more momentum to it. If you were to put a diamond sheet on the phone and hit it with a brick, the phone would still crack. You need a viscoelastic or vibration damping material for the phone to survive the brick test. A little bit of research and logic goes a long way specially in a destructive test where you waste 3 completely new phones.
Close but you should be measuring the mass of the brick to find the impact force acting upon the phone. Also despite what it seems like, weight and mass have no effect on acceleration and it is stuck at -9.8m/s^2. Also the mass needs to be in kg in order to measure it in Newtons. Lets also say that he dropped it from a height of 1.0m to make this simple. The equation would look like F(impact force) = 2.27kg(-9.8m/s^2), which would give you 22.246N. I still agree with you though this test isn't necessary for a screen protector but I'm assuming better shows the absorption of the screen protector. Tschüss!
@@jamesprendiville8297 The point here is impact force where mass plays it's role. What will you do by measuring the mass of the brick? Is there any realistic use case scenario where such an amount of impact would be applied to the phone? There are two type of tests, meaningful and meaningless. Brick test might be useful but the criteria and conditions are beyond the scope of this particular reviewer for the particular case study.
And it pulls him to the ground because it's so heavy. That didn't happen with the brick he used so it isn't the heaviest. He knew that the Nokia would break everything including the floor underneath.
Great video. To do a true drop test, put two pvc pipes 6ft tall, the width of the phone apart. Create a plate with two stubby pieces of pvc slightly bigger than the tall ones that will slide down the two tall ones. Velcro a phone to the plate and drop it to the floor. Then put rock under with pointy side up. Drop. Yes the Velcro will absorb a little; however, it would be a consistent test. I really appreciate your testing! If you want ideas for test rigs, Project Farm will give you lots of good ideas.
Im on my fifth of this exact noname brand screen protector on my 4 year old phone (in addidtion to a 15 dollar case) They seem to start cracking after there are enough scraches in them. (I also work in construction and are not to carefull with my phone)
Yeah, but he literally bought them just for the sake of testing them, so buying pricey phones for a multimillion Subscriber channel is a mostly small-ish business expense.
I bought two for £11 and they’ve saved me. I’m not somebody who considers themselves clumsy, but one or twice the phone has slipped out of my hand. I looked at my screen, saw a crack, and then peeled the protector off to realise that only the protector was cracked.
Slight clarification:
-The two cheaper screen protectors, don't claim to be level 9 in hardness specifically, but claim to be "9H". The point I should have added is that 9H is not the same as 9, and that 9H is MUCH weaker, but is used by these companies because it sounds a lot like "level 9", when it actually isn't - which you'll see demonstrated in the video.

I think the brick test was probably unsurvivable without additional cases, etc; Sapphire is tougher as well as harder, so it makes sense that it did a little better there, but... screen protectors are replaceable - get the cheapest one that's good and treat it as sacrificial
Never thought I'd see you here!
@@matankesselman456 samee 😂
I thinking that if the phone internals and screen was plastic, there would be negligible damage, what do you say?
yeah you can get 80 screen protector for the price so if you are not very clumsy you will have for 3 phone genereaitons at least
Can replace 80 $1 screen protector for the cost of 1 $80 Sapphire screen protector...
Hardness and impact resistance are different things though. Even watches with sapphire glass can be shattered. Technically, the only purpose of a screen protector is to act as a "sacrificial" layer in case of accidental impact that could be easily replaced with least $$ by the user.
in fact, it absorbs the damage and transform it to damage on the protector instead of the screen
FYI the material science term is technically toughness. And there are other hardness ratings aside from Mohs like Shore and Vickers. But you’re absolutely right. Tensile and compressive strength matter somewhat too. But good luck finding toughness rating on a consumer product lol
Exactly. I've buying screens at 1-2$ and never failed me.
The more scratch resistant, the easier it shatters.
I've never considered drop protection from my screen protectors (that's what the case is for). The only reason I use them is because of micro scratches. I've never deeply scratched or cracked a phone screen, but every phone I've had after a few months has had those tiny micro scratches that you get when you slide a phone in and out of a pocket multiple times a day, or use a finger that has a bit of grit on it. The kind that you only see when you shine light directly on them. I can't stand them and I'd much rather do that to a screen protector than the screen itself.
I've been using ₹50 screen protectors. I just buy a 5 pack and change it when one gets scuffed up, or give them to friends/family.

A bit late to the party, but here is my opinion as I have worked on cracked resistance for ion exchanged glass for some years.
Before going too technical, a glass protector will mainly help you avoid scratched to the main glass screen... which usually is very tedious to replace. You could use a plastic screen protector but it will scratch way easier.
Sapphire is no gimmick, it will truely prevent more scratches... but for x80 the price, you could simply buy more cheap ones tbh.
Breackage on glass is very particular, it is no metal that breaks always after a certain threshold. Breackage is related to the amount of tension applied to it (for phones in the form of an impact) and is inversely proportional to the square of the defects of the glass. Theoretically, glass can whithstand a crazy amount of force, but due to manufacturing processes and manipulation, almost invisible scratches are always formed.
Due to this, to measure crack resistance on glass, you need to perform multiple crack tests and use the assumption that the surviability follows a Weibull distribution. By multiple, I mean at least 30 samples. Test usually starts at low levels of impacts and goes higher. Test ends when one sample breaks and that energy is the one recorded for the statistics.
To that... if your glass had scratches beforehand, you will significantly lower it's impact resistance... so you either have 2 options... you could use pristine samples for every test, or you could perform an homogeneous scratch to each sample to standarized scratch depths. Counterintuitively, this last option is preferred, you purposely do scratches bigger than the ones your glass had due to manipulation, therefore substantially decreasing the influence of scratches due to manufacturing and manipulation.
That said, with this theory in mind... for a 'practical' but yet scientific approach on glass protectors for phones, I could suggest a drop test of phones from a set height. Is possible, have the phone be guided so that always lands on the same surface/corner.
Good work btw, the video was interesting.
One last thing, as a rule of thumb, when a glass protector (or glass) breaks, the more 'lines' or 'pieces' that are generated, the more energy the glass has released. So if the glass is completly shattered where you could barely see the screen, then the protector has 'absorbed' a lot of energy that otherwise would have gone into your main phone glass. Another good test is to perform a 3 or 4 point bending test on the protectors, and measure the amount of cracks it gets. The more cracks, the better (and more force was required to break). This is related to the ion exchange process that these glasses were supposed to be applied. To that said... Corning was the pioneer on engineering a glass that optimizes the IOX.
So what is the conclusion does it actually worth buying expensive temper glass
@@anasafa7951 Buy the $1 one, if it cracks, buy another one.
This is actually pretty useful knowledge, I used to think that screen protectors are mostly for protecting the screen from scratches and barely help protecting the main screen from damage at all, but knowing now that it DOES actually prevent the main screen from being damaged way more than I expected, and scratches hamper the screen protector's ability to do so, maybe I should probably stock up on cheap screen protectors so that I can replace them each time my old one gets scratched since I do value my phone quite alot despite it being an iPhone XR

The brick test, while entertaining, is a pretty poor simulation of any actual usage. Screens break mostly when phones are dropped, not when heavy things are dropped onto them.
Having said that, this was a very useful video. I typically go with a $1 per sheet screen protector that I buy on eBay. I dropped my phone from time to time, and while I get occasional cracks or scratches on the screen protector I have never damaged the underlying screen when I use these screen protectors.
Thanks for a great and entertaining video.
Newton's third law. When a force is enacted upon an object by another object, an equal but opposite force is enacted upon the second object by the first. That is, the brick drop test is fundamentally the same as dropping the phone onto a brick.
There is an argument to be made about the force observed upon impact because a brick is much more massive than a phone, but the maths can be rearranged to be interpreted as dropping the phone from a much higher distance.
In either case, and regardless, it doesn't change the conclusion. A sheet of glass is still a sheet of glass, and it won't save a phone if the drop force is enough to break even the body of the phone. So there's no reason to overpay when a sheet of glass will only ever be just a sheet of glass.
@@PKMNwater bro, yes you can achieve the same amout of force droping your phone, but the difference in weight is huge. An iphone 12 is 164 grams, that brick is probably around 2 kg. Its more than an order of magnitude bigger. To calculate force, you have mass x acceleration, the acceleration is the same at 9,8 m/s for both droping the phone and droping the brick. So if you spit those numbers into a calculator the difference is from 1.6 n to 19.6 n, you would have to drop the phone from ≈12,2 times as high to achieve the same amount of force. It looked like he droped the brick from about 40 cm so its like the phone took a fall from 4.8 meters or about the window of a 2 story building
Screen protectors are really effective. I work in a phone shop and the amount of phones ive seen where a screen protector has saved the phone screen is astonishing. For most people the screen protector saves the phone from a regular fall. And almost evey time someone has shattered the screen under as well, the costumer straight up says the protector was allready cracked when it broke the phone screen.
I get stuck buying the 2 18$ screen protector (comes with 2) for the template, that I could prob use with the 1$ protectors.

Why even buying the protector?
To be fair, screen protectors are there to protect the screen from *scratches*. Dropping your phone on a hard surface (or dropping a brick on your phone) is always going to generate forces that the phone itself will have difficulty surviving even if the screen protector does survive them.
Actually, I recently accidentally dropped my phone on a hard floor. The screen protector had several cracks in it - I was expecting the worst, but on removing the damaged protector, the screen on my phone was completely undamaged. It certainly saved my phone.

My track record at installing Screen Protectors, even those touted as "bubble free," is beyond dismal.
Apple used to (maybe they still do) install them for you, using a gizmo that looked like a sandwich toaster.
Were I to fork out £$80, there's no way I'd fit one myself.
There's a serious gap in the market for companies that fit them for you. Here in the UK, they're very thin on the ground.
Carphone Warehouse used to do it for a fiver, but they don't exist in the High Street anymore!
Where I live theres a phone repair shop that sell a good one for £10 and they apply it as well
Bestbuy when you would buy a phone from them had this device too and it was custom so lots of phones would work for some reason they don't carry it anymore which sucks.
I cant install either so will pay apple. My choice
I always install all of my protectors, from tempered glass to matte films. The key is to clean your environment, like your desk or table to make sure you’re not just sticking it on top of dust and hair. Then you clean the screen with a lint free cloth and a screen safe spray and apply your protector asap, while pushing out the bubbles gently before it fully sticks. It comes out flawlessly almost every time :)

Thanks for the video - it confirmed my theory about going for the cheapest protector - which works just fine - but I am annoyed that you destroyed 3 new phones. Extremely wasteful. You could have used three old phones that were still in good condition but ready to be recycled
For me, the screen protector is more to ensure that if I do scratch the surface (not by dropping a brick on it, but from normal life use), I can always just replace the screen protector instead of the screen itself
Exactly, I could have a few of the cheaper one. The biggest likelihood of damage is like keys in my pocket. If I have a secondary cheap one, I just replace it real quick while keeping off damage to my actual screen.
And plus without a screen protector I have to constantly wipe my screen due to fingerprints plus random dust… with a screen protector my finger doesn’t leave a print and if it does get dirty I can easily clean it
I just find a case and a protector to be the best combination, protector protects my screen from scratches when my case isnt closed and my case protects from impact and scratches when im not using my phone

As a wise man once said, “glass is glass and glass breaks.”
Me too,found gold here
Dropping a brick on it means very little about the hardness. The extra material may help a little more with absorbing the energy, but overall what is happening is that you're transferring all that power into the phone's internal components. It's like hit by a car: the card didn't technically touch your bones inside, but the energy goes through the skin and flesh and still breaks them. You'd need a case to protect against that kind of damage.
Overall, investing heavily into a screen protector against scratches is not that good of an idea. Sand is a 7, meaning even gorilla glass won't stop it entirely. And even if you go above it, it won't protect the screen protector from other forms of damage (which, you know, even if your phone is safe, you might start worrying about damaging the 80$ protector, missing the whole point).
The best thing is to just go with the cheap but decent. Unless your phone receive actual device-worrying damage, it will only affect the glass sheet on top which you can swap easily. It's the whole point of the part: a cheap sheet you can damage to potentially save your actual screen. Heck, you might be able to find screens for less than 80$, so at that point it just makes no sense.

Coming back to this after seeing several instances of cracked glass / screen protectors on phones (due to working at an Apple Service Provider) I must say that, 100%, dropping something heavy on your phone, no matter if it has a screen protector or not, will, in 99% of cases, break the screen or at least break something. The main use for screen protectors are for scuffs and scratches, and sometimes falls too. A fun thing we had done was we had to break a phone's screen (because it was a cheaper option than to repair), a 12 mini to be exact, and it took my co-worker a screwdriver and a literal hammer to break it. Not by hammering it down, by holding the screwdriver and hammering the screwdriver into the screen. It hadn't budged for several attempts. Still, if you don't have a folding case, get a screen protector.

My poor ass got anxiety from seeing you drop a brick on phone thats newer than mine :') but now I know about evil screen protectors.
I could feel the pain, when 3 brand new IPhones were being bricked......😞😞
nah an iphone is a brick straight out of the factory
I definitely felt it sitting here watching this on my 4+ year old barely working phone I can't afford to replace. It literally hurt my stomach to watch
The brick has more value than the phones together...
Same.
I'm not crazy about iphone but I felt uneasy about dropping a brick on a phone.

Thanks for this video, I've always wondered how reliable some of these expensive screen protector brands actually were. I think your "brick test" at the end might have been overkill... most screen protectors seem to me to be manufactured to protect the phone if you happen to drop it accidentally on the pavement or something. Either way, I can't see spending eighty dollars on one, even though it obviously performed the best... that's ridiculous.
The brick "test" tests the phone's frame and screen more than the protector, which is designed against scratches. The hardness test is sufficient.
Not really. The brick is a fairly severe impact test, so it is testing the kind of damage that might occur when a phone gets a bad drop. A screen protector could be really hard, but brittle which could pass impact damage straight through to the screen. What is ideal is something which is flexible and hard and dissipates impact energy across a wider area.
lol maybe watch video again smartass, it literally saved the phone from damage
Dropping a heavy brick from 2 feet is probably the equivalent amount of energy the phone had to dissipate to dropping the phone from 15 to 20‘ onto a brick or concrete surface. And the two cheaper screen protectors were already compromised from the hammer test, they stood no chance of withstanding another impact.
@@coryvincent6249 who cares, all it shows, that the most expensive screen protector is best, is it worth the price, its another question
@JGarbo Your 💯 % correct! The weight of the brick still impacts the phone including the screen back glass and frame no matter what screen protector you have on there. A phone case is more suited for the brick test. That could best absorb the impact and the weight.

I've always gone with thin plastic foil screen protectors, never glass. Haven't had any catastrophic accidents with my phones though, so I've been pretty happy with the protection they provide while being cheap enough to replace once they've become too scratchy from everyday use.
Every time I buy a new phone, one of the first things I do (aside from ordering a case from the brand I'm super loyal to) is to order about a dozen tempered glass screen protectors. Like 5 for $10 or so. The purpose is basically to protect my screen from keys, sliding across a desktop, stuff like that. They work fine. Once every few months something will happen and it'll crack the protector or it'll start to lift somewhere. I just replace it with another $2 protector and keep it moving.
may i ask what brand for the case you use? I'm having trouble finding good quality ones
@@woahthere6020 Mous. They're a bit pricey, but I'll never buy anything else unless it somehow let's me down. My phones get knocked around in some way worse than usual ways with the work I do, lol.
@@woahthere6020 rhino shield is also great quality with lots of options
after trying out many cases ... I have been buying the water proof Ghostek case .. they cost less then other EXPENSIVE cases
I don't bother scratches are part of phones lol..... Remember when you could throw a phone across a room? Nokia remembers
"Scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7"

Exactly 😂. Jerry ❤️
The amount of times I mess up adding a screen protector... My anxiety putting on an £80 one!
you can go to most repair shops and they'll put it on for free :)
@@omsh6000 oh wow that sounds nice tho
@@omsh6000 my repair shop got passively annoyed by the fact that I didn’t buy a screen protector from him so he charged me almost 5 dollrs for just sticking it to the screen.
@Joey Barendsen this man really went as far to compare food to screen protectors. Do you actually know how many ours and difficult it is to prepare steak and sticking a screen protector on a phone wich takes less than 3 minutes. If iam talking about screen protectors, why does bringing steak to restaurant be first thing that comes to mind, does that mean you’ve actually tried. Since preparing steak takes hours to do properly and a screen protector w couple of mins to properly so its way out of the ordinary to you use it as an example.
@Joey Barendsen hold your horses, if you dont have logical explanation then i will end this discussion.
The biggest issue with screen protectors is best practice you get one on your phone the moment you buy it. As if you have any scratches on the main glass you will always get bubbles. The only exception to this would be resin applied protectors like whitestone dome which fill those scratches with a curable liquid resin before curing but they are about as expensive as screen protectors go and the application process is complicated and easily fucked up to say the least, but worth it if you want to apply a protector then forget about it for years to come.
My S22+ has one that has lasted over 3 years now, and my google pixel had one that lasted over 5 years without issues for everyday use.

But think of how much he made, to make this video? Sounds like a worthy investment.
"You have to spend money, to make money." That old adage will always be true.
Sapphire makes great sense in a watch crystal (I like mine). It doesn't make so much sense in a screen protector.
Screen protectors are sacrificial parts. They're also temporary parts. Eventually, a screen protector will start to develop bubbles underneath. Now you have air, moisture, and scratch-inducing particulates infiltrating between screen protector and screen. There's no choice but to discard the old protector and install a new one.

He did not use the Nokia because he was afraid it would break his floor/feet or completely destroys the iPhones.
It could very well cracked the Earth's crust and then we'd be in real trouble.
Someone needs to make a sapphire protector for the Earth's crust, just in case someone decides to drop a Nokia 3310 on it.

The whole point of a screen protector is that it will get scratched and cracked and then you can replace it with a new one. If you buy an expensive screen protector you are defeating the whole purpose when the costs of replacing the protector becomes more than the whole screen

The brick drop test is a faulty one. The phone weighs approx 200g and so, when you drop it, the impact force = 200g x acceleration. The brick weighs a lot more and there is a lot more momentum to it.
If you were to put a diamond sheet on the phone and hit it with a brick, the phone would still crack. You need a viscoelastic or vibration damping material for the phone to survive the brick test.
A little bit of research and logic goes a long way specially in a destructive test where you waste 3 completely new phones.
Close but you should be measuring the mass of the brick to find the impact force acting upon the phone. Also despite what it seems like, weight and mass have no effect on acceleration and it is stuck at -9.8m/s^2. Also the mass needs to be in kg in order to measure it in Newtons. Lets also say that he dropped it from a height of 1.0m to make this simple. The equation would look like F(impact force) = 2.27kg(-9.8m/s^2), which would give you 22.246N. I still agree with you though this test isn't necessary for a screen protector but I'm assuming better shows the absorption of the screen protector. Tschüss!
@@jamesprendiville8297 The point here is impact force where mass plays it's role.
What will you do by measuring the mass of the brick? Is there any realistic use case scenario where such an amount of impact would be applied to the phone?
There are two type of tests, meaningful and meaningless.
Brick test might be useful but the criteria and conditions are beyond the scope of this particular reviewer for the particular case study.
@@super-z8943 I agree. That test might be slightly better for testing a case but not for a screen protector

"So I grabbed the biggest heaviest brick I owned"
*Proceeds to pick up the Nokia 3310*
And it pulls him to the ground because it's so heavy. That didn't happen with the brick he used so it isn't the heaviest. He knew that the Nokia would break everything including the floor underneath.
God bless he didn't use Nokium to smash the Iphones. The impact would've been stronger than the Hiroshima atomic bomb
Hehe
Great video. To do a true drop test, put two pvc pipes 6ft tall, the width of the phone apart. Create a plate with two stubby pieces of pvc slightly bigger than the tall ones that will slide down the two tall ones. Velcro a phone to the plate and drop it to the floor. Then put rock under with pointy side up. Drop. Yes the Velcro will absorb a little; however, it would be a consistent test.
I really appreciate your testing! If you want ideas for test rigs, Project Farm will give you lots of good ideas.
I think we can buy $1 Screen Protector and replacing it whenever it breaks.
Im on my fifth of this exact noname brand screen protector on my 4 year old phone (in addidtion to a 15 dollar case)
They seem to start cracking after there are enough scraches in them. (I also work in construction and are not to carefull with my phone)
B-But it will break your Phone WITH the screen Protector.
How about using 2-3 one dollar screen protectors at once?

Everytime he dropped the brink on one of the phones by heart leapt out of my chest.
Yeah, but he literally bought them just for the sake of testing them, so buying pricey phones for a multimillion Subscriber channel is a mostly small-ish business expense.
I bought two for £11 and they’ve saved me. I’m not somebody who considers themselves clumsy, but one or twice the phone has slipped out of my hand. I looked at my screen, saw a crack, and then peeled the protector off to realise that only the protector was cracked.
