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.

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.
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
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
@@sKullzoo9 err the video was posted a year ago, hence 'late to the party'. Why do you need so much into it?
The great thing about a $1 screen protector getting scratched is that you can just replace it with another $1 screen protector and still be $78 ahead.
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.
but ceramic shield doe....
Even then, the $1 screen protector gave you 2 sheets rather than one for $40. So if you get one scratched you’ve still got a backup
My $7 screen protectors where it’s at 🔥
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?
Hello
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
a phone droppimg on concrete vs concrete dropping on a phone are 2 very different things, with 2 very different forces and velocities to consider....
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.

If you want to protect against drops and cracks, get a phone case.

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 this video, I've always wondered how reliable some of these expensive screen protector brands actually were.

Hardness is something's resistance to scratches and abrasion, but impact resistance is to sustain low damage against sudden, forceful impacts.
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.
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.

I'd like to see a comparison from some plastic based ones vs the glass ones. I've never had good luck with the glass ones as they've always shattered but the plastic ones have lasted longer. At least until they start to separate.
Plastic helps against scratches, but it does almost nothing to prevent your actual phone screen from cracking. I would recommend getting a glass screen protector.
I agree with the reply above me. Plastic (or hydrogel) screen protectors are impossible to shatter, but the biggest downside is that they do not protect your phone's screen against shattering like the glass ones.

I had exactly the same idea
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 used very cheap screen protectors for years and they don't get scratched while in your pocket or purse. So the scratch test isn't very important.The feature needed the most is drop protection. You should have dropped the phones (face first) from 5 feet (no one is dropping from higher and expect screen protector to fully protect).
So again, REAL face down drop tests
The owners of that $40 glass are making real great coin by just repackaging that $1.
True...
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.

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.
Would be cool to have had a control too, with an iPhone without any protectors applied, to see how easily that gets damaged.
Of course, it’s not the sad kind of thing as the main part here is that the screen protector takes the damage, not the actual screen itself, but it would still be interesting, especially with Apple and their big “Cermic Shield” claims they sometimes make and whatnot. It’s seemingly actually stronger~

Just started to watch your reviews and tests. Thanks. Use the $1 protectors. I'm guarding against scratches on my screen and can replace the protecter when needed. Always keep a few on hand. Daughters more than me or my wife.
Dropping a brick on it means very little about the hardness. The extra material may help a little more with absorbing the energy, but overall what is happening is that you're transferring all that power into the phone's internal components. It's like hit by a car: the card didn't technically touch your bones inside, but the energy goes through the skin and flesh and still breaks them. You'd need a case to protect against that kind of damage.
Overall, investing heavily into a screen protector against scratches is not that good of an idea. Sand is a 7, meaning even gorilla glass won't stop it entirely. And even if you go above it, it won't protect the screen protector from other forms of damage (which, you know, even if your phone is safe, you might start worrying about damaging the 80$ 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.

“Scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7”
- JerryRigsEverything
I know everybody heard it in his voice
One thing I've discovered is, I really don't like glass screen protectors, they are hard to put on, peel off easily, and I feel like screen protectors are just there to stop normal damage from wear and tear. The 10 dollar 2 pack of vinyl protectors I've been using are fantastic, they are easy to swap out, i haven't had a bubble in one, and if it's scratched, it's doesn't make me sad, I just get excited because I can put a new one on and have a nice new shiny protector for 5 bucks
I think the logic applied doesn't cover the reasons to buy a sheet, for the most common damage scenario is the one of scraching it with every day use, like, expecting that keys or metal zippers would eventually beat the screen surface. So the cheapest screen protector may be enough for this purpose and it's disposable. You can scratch 89 $1 screen protectors before justifying spending $90 for the same purpose. Indeed, your phone may break, but that may happen if it falls in the wrong angle no matter how hard the crystal and the protection are. At least it happened to me, from 50 cm of height, landing right in the phone corner.

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.
I buy my screen protectors from TJ Maxx /Marshall. I got a 2 pack for the 14 Pro for $5 dollars a brand called Avalanche. The one I had on my 6S lasted for years. I bought a Zagg long ago for my iPhone 5 for a high price and it cracked within 2 weeks of use from a small nail tap. I learned my lesson. 😂

Glass is glass
What you need is a plastic, rubberized cover that won’t break glass breaks. In my local Apple Store they have a screen protector that they will fit to any device it does not need to be an apple product. It’s a plastic ,rubber type cover that’s self repairing but it will not shatter or break that’s the way to go. They have two versions one is a privacy type where you can’t see from the side the other is a standard type £30 Uk about $40 USA but well worth it
If you drop your phone a lot, buy a case for it, preferably a flip case that can cover the front. Screen protectors protect the screen from scratches, not a brick being dropped on it.
And as illustrated, buying expensive doesn't get you better results.
I've actually heard that sapphire is more reflective, so worse than glass in some ways, maybe you could've done a test on that too.

Usually I end up cracking a screen protector because it had a heavy scratch in it, and the crack formed from it. I run the cheap ones as they do the job and when it gets all scratched up, I can peel it off of my still immaculate screen and apply another one.
Great video! So knowing all this, what would you recommend? Case, screen protector if any?

@@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.

very cool vid.
about the dropping bricks human error possibility and likelihood, i don't think the hammer is different. you could "just" buy 3 identical bricks and have a programmed machine drop each one identically on each phone
i tended to buy my screen protectors at a phone store, (not 40bucks at most 20) at the store some will apply it for you and as they do it often if they do they can iron out all the bubbles and dust.
i noticed however it my screen protector got damaged fast on the corners. and so i removed it and so far no problem without one.

I was looking for this comment...
$16 for a Spigen 2-pack just because the installation tool led to a perfect outcome, something I never before achieved. I had actually purchased 2 packs as it usually takes 3-4 attempts to get an acceptable outcome with others.
And I’ve cracked plenty of protectors, but never the actual screen. At $8, I don’t think I’ll go through 10 in the phone’s lifetime.
The fact that the $1 product had 2 pieces in it, that's just 50c per glass. You van replace it 80 times for the price of replacing the more expensive one once.
Or 160 times for replacing the sapphire one once. It's pretty crazy.
Of course if I'm someone with enough money to throw away, I'd get the sapphire for the higher quality and the need to replace it less often, but for the average consumer this is really great information. Thanks.

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
for 80 bucks rather just buy phone insurance
Oh WoW! i just had this idea a few days ago, whilst thinking of things as i wait for my new phone to be delivered...i mused how it would go if i tried doing it exactly the way you show us here..& Now...i know! Thank You So Much!...& i have a bad feeling...abt the hardness of the glass included with the case, which is touted as Military grade..i know it said 9..but..did it say H?...got to go look that up now...Also Grateful you thought to include this Vital bit of infos!
I think the glass protector is meant to avoid the worst damage from keys in pocket or a short drop, not a large brick dumped on it.
It’s the dumping of the brick that really has me laughing so hard because who actually hits Their phone that hard
@@vexedvix3n17 but what if you droped your phone on the brick it would get messed up
@@alvinballou Phone is much lighter than the brick. It will not have the same impact
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.

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.
I want the magic john one with the anti dust installation kit and fully automatic adhesion no bubbles and perfect install every time first time.

Yes, he uses the same picks
My main take away from this video is if you don’t have $80 for a real sapphire screen protector then buy a 3 pack of tempered glass for $10 on Amazon.
every screen protector I've bought has ended up hindering my phones touch screen perfomance and 2 broke from a single minor drop, and 2 broke in my pocket. now I have a phone case which covers the phone except the screen itself, I've dropped it 10's of times and the screen hasn't got a single scratch and even though there's no protectorx the case is about a half a mm in front of the screen
He scratched, he hammered, but he wasn't satisfied
So he bricked them.

The scale is represented by numbers only without the "H" suffix. The suffix means the hardness of a pencil. To find a rating, you use the pencil test, which compares the relative hardness of a screen. When a manufacturer claims that their screen is 9h, it means the screen can resist scratches from the hardest pencil

First thing I thought of too. I love watching that dude destroy thousands of dollars worth of phones lol
I used to buy €5-€10 screen protectors (tho 2 in a package so half the price per unit). I don't expect it to withstand brick falling on them laying on the floor. They, however, worked well! First of all even if it get scratched the screen underneath works just fine and I was able to polish it to some degree with... car reflector polishing paste for just another €5.
Then it also protects screen from damage of phone falling to the floor - had 2 phones that fell on the concrete floor and in both cases extra glass was shattered but the phone underneath was 100% fine. One of them I even drove over with forklift and the back glass was shattered, extra glass on the front was heavily scratched (as it slided under the wheel a bit) but screen was absolutely fine and work till this day (no screen ptorector tho as I damaged both pieces from set :D).
I also have my Nikon D7500 screen protector from Aliexpress and it protected well the camera screen as a bottle cap was in the bag with camera and it somehow got under it during trip. Extra glass cracked (camera is quite heavy with 70-200 lens) but still fully operational and no damage to screen itself :)
It is by no mean absolute protection but it does the job when it comes to some accidents, definitively worth the hassle.
I still remember my friend buying Samsung S10+ just to drop it the 4th day on the floor and having to pay insane price (not long after release) for screen replacement. As I remember the price was quite close to brand new phone and he decided to use it for another 3-4 months cracked just to wait for replacement screen price to go a little bit down.
Nobody does color accuracy tests on screen protectors 😔 I got one of those uv glue ones and when an edge cracked away I realized it gives my entire screen a tint and slight grainy quality compared to the crisp clean screen underneath
“Scratching at a level 6, with deeper grooves at a level 7.”

"Glass is glass and glass breaks"
I really wish he would have said that though
I bought the cheapest one on the market, never do any crazy stuff, just keeping it safe from scratch.
I spend about 5 buck on the glass protector and have only had one protector scratch but the phone was fine. I would never spend 80 on a protector
@@sharazar I will spend 3 dollers and that's all I may change rapidly
Well my phone has no screen protector for almost a year now 👀 and it has no damage
Same
@@K0dees wow
Would’ve loved to see the screen get peeled off after the first scratch test. Because most people buy a screen protector just to prevent scratches on the screen.
Thank you.
So... the take home message is all screen protectors are really only useful for fending off day-to-day scratches regardless, so buy a cheap one.
But... if you want to spend really, really, silly money you might get much the same protection in a protector that doesn't scratch as easily. Got it.
