Just got the latest and greatest smartphone from Apple, Google, Samsung, or another company? Then you really need a tempered glass screen protector. Tech expert Dave Taylor just acquired an iPhone 14 Pro and while it may have "Ceramic Shield Glass", there are plenty of reasons why an additional screen protector is a good idea, as he explains. This install is for the TechMatte AmFilm One Touch Glass Screen Protector for the iPhone 14 Pro and it's ridiculously easy to install, as you'll see!

New iPhone, new screen protector
0:02
Let's check it out. Dave Taylor here, and this is the new iPhone 14 Pro
0:15
It is a beautiful piece of hardware, and the screen features something called ceramic shield glass
0:22
It's the next generation after all the gorilla glass systems from Corning
0:26
So Apple's done a nice job. They picked something really aggressive, but I always like to put a screen protector on anyway
0:36
However hard this is, it's still exposed to keys in my pocket, to falling, to all sorts of things that can damage it
0:45
So a screen protector works really well because the screen protector then takes the damage
0:52
Enter TechMat. This is the AM film or M film One Touch glass screen protector for the iPhone 14 Pro
1:01
Yes, they rushed this out. I got this before I got my phone
1:06
So you know these companies have months to get the measurements and all the dimensions exactly from Apple
1:12
So I am expecting this to be a perfect fit. We're going to test it
1:16
But let me tell you, while I open up the box because it's still shrink-wrapped
1:21
I will carefully open that box with my... unboxing tool. So it has a 9H hardness and it's tempered glass and it's a 99.9% clarity and it is a
1:36
remarkable 0.33 millimeters thick. So it is super duper duper thin because I don't really want to even
1:44
know that it's on my phone. It's basically something that I'm going to put on and then hopefully
1:49
we'll be able to forget. Right. That's what you want. Now it also features an only
1:54
Pnebophobic coding and that's a fancy name for something that minimizes fingerprints and that is exactly what we want so let's see what else is in this box
2:04
looks like there are two of everything that's really interesting that there's
2:10
actually a separate cover for the camera lenses on the back that by itself might
2:18
be the most valuable thing then let's see there is this ah I see so there
2:24
There a whole two of them in each box So I going to go ahead and put one set back And so what we have and you thinking why would you need two if it works really well The answer is because it going to pick up scratches and it going to get damage
2:40
And then as soon as you get to the point where it's like, I can't handle it. You just take it off and put the next one on
2:45
So super great. Now, let's see. It comes with the installation accessories, dust removal
2:53
It has, like I said, a separate cover. for the cameras and instructions
3:01
It's super easy to install. And I guess that one probably should go in the box
3:06
It's a duplicate. So I'll put that in there. And then the most interesting piece of this
3:14
is that the way they do this is that you actually have it
3:18
all pre-installed into a case. So then I'm going to put the phone on this
3:24
Actually, I'm going to put this on top of the phone when we're ready. And then it's going to automatically be perfectly positioned
3:31
And you really need to get it perfectly positioned because you want to make sure that the
3:35
ready for this, dynamic island is compatible. So I can't just say dynamic island
3:42
We need to have that big echo, right? So this is what they call their install frame
3:47
And it's really pretty slick. Now, I'm going to have to open this up because we're going to need all these pieces
3:52
So let's see what's what. And they have really nice directions. Again, it's pretty darn easy
4:00
All these different pieces. But I will tell you that what they all forget, all these companies forget, is that the
4:06
first step is to go wash your hands. Make sure your hands are as clean as possible because that's all very important because
4:13
you want to make sure you have no dust or dirt or oils or anything
4:18
You just want a pristine little world. So our first step is the wet wipe
4:23
So I'm going to open that up. And now we get to go through
4:27
the adventure of cleaning the phone screen as best possible. You want to get hair and dust and dirt and streaks and anything that might be on that screen
4:39
You want to get rid of it. So I'm going to do this with my wet wipe
4:42
And of course, my phone is literally three days, three days old
4:47
So it's in pretty amazing shape. So that wet wipe looks like that covered that task
4:54
And then step number two. is that we going to use the dry wipe which is this which is basically a little microfiber cloth And I going to use this to just make sure everything as clean as possible
5:10
And then we're going to do one more step, which is this big dust sticker
5:16
And a lot of companies send really small stickers. So I really appreciate that this is literally the size of the phone screen
5:22
which just makes it so much easier to work with. In fact, it's bigger than the phone screen
5:27
So I'm going to do this, and I'm going to just make sure that it is as pristine as possible
5:34
Now we're ready to use the install frame. And remember, I'm going to put it like this
5:40
but before I do that, I have to pull the inner skin off
5:45
And to do that, I'm going to pull it straight down on that nice curve
5:51
So there's that. And now it says top, and there's the top of my phone
5:57
So I'm going to just go ahead and drop it on there and the corners make sure you get it in exactly the right place
6:05
And basically I've done all the work at this point. So what I'm going to do is, let's get this back on
6:11
and I'm going to push and hold on the top for a couple of seconds, and then just slowly run my finger down to make sure we get it all the way covered
6:21
And I can already see that it's actually affixed. And now as I pull it off, that blue film
6:28
stays on and I have a perfectly installed screen just about there's a little
6:35
corner there on that edge otherwise that looks absolutely perfect and will it
6:42
still work with the face ID and it's already unlocked so the answer is yes it does
6:47
which is great so that's 99% of the work it's basically all installed but let's
6:53
go ahead and install that other cover on the actual camera And that's going to be a similar sort of process
7:01
We're going to go back to some of these previous pieces, especially the wet wipe
7:07
And I'm going to just clean those camera lenses because I want no adverse impact on any pictures I'm going to take, obviously
7:17
So that all looks good. Then I'm going to use the dust removal cover again
7:22
And between those two, I think that these camera lenses are in good shape
7:27
And I gotta say the 14 Pro, the camera lens really sticks out
7:31
It kind of huge Now they say to bend this Okay and now it should be ready to install See that Pretty cool
7:42
And it actually fits over the lenses, so it's actually, again, impossible to put it on incorrectly
7:53
And there it is fully installed, and I'll give you a close-up too, so you can see how it fits
7:59
Now, to be entirely candid, this is something I'm going to forget
8:04
This will have to see. I'll give it some time. I might pop that off
8:09
I'm not sure. But in any case, it makes it even just a slight bit more of a protuberance
8:15
But the upside is this is a $1,000 smartphone. So having some sort of protection, and I'll also drop this back into a case, that's just smart
8:25
And that's everything. That's the full install with all the steps. specified. You saw that if you weren't, if I wasn't on camera and I was just doing this
8:35
I could do the whole thing super fast. You can really do an install in probably 30 to 60 seconds
8:40
If you're really confident about what you're doing, you don't have to rush through it, though
8:44
But certainly, it's really darn easy. So, that's all I got. I should talk about the price
8:50
You're going to love the price. But before I get there, I'm going to ask if you could subscribe

in the box, and that is $1499, actually, minus $2. So it's $12.99 at Amazon.com for two screen
9:23
protectors, 9-8, 99.9% clarity, tempered glass. And if it breaks or scratches or chips or cracks
9:32
hey, it's all good. That's its job. So you just take it off and put the next one on
9:36

9:42
pro and especially testing out that camera. That's all I got. Hope to catch you in my next video
