May 29, 2025
There are plenty of glass screen protectors on the market, and some people who say that modern smartphone glass is so tough that you don't need one at all. But if you have an $1100 Apple iPhone X, you've got a huge investment in your gear, so dropping an additional $10 for an "HD" glass protector is a good idea. If you can install it, that is. Tech expert Dave Taylor of https://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ got one of the Humixx iPhone X Glass Screen Protectors and goes through every step to install it perfectly on his iPhone X. Including using the Humixx "installation frame". So does it work? Is it invisible once installed? Watch and find out! Check it out at Amazon.com: https://amzn.to/2MDrlEK

a $10 screen protector for the iPhone we
0:02
try to put it on Dave Taylor here and
0:12
I'm looking at this this is the humic
0:14
psiphon 10 screen protector at least I
0:17
assume that's how you pronounce it
0:18
anyway let's get on with it because if
0:20
you've ever installed a screen protector
0:21
there is a small level of anxiety
0:24
involved in this task because however
0:26
inexpensive it is however much you think
0:29
you're good at it if you put it on wrong
0:31
enough times you kind of hose so box and
0:35
put it aside in the Box is a package and
0:38
this is kind of an interesting setup
0:40
because what Hugh mix has done is they
0:42
have actually included a little frame
0:45
that helps you put it on correctly so
0:48
let's see if we can figure this out
0:50
first off there's a cutout here so that
0:54
should be the cutout for the volume
0:56
control on the iPhone 10 so let's go
1:00
ahead and do that and let's see I think
1:05
I see so the phone just sits in there
1:11
and yeah actually if you like really
1:14
really inexpensive foam cases it's a
1:17
really nice super inexpensive phone case
1:19
realistically and I can leave this on
1:21
but it does work for now so let's jeez
1:24
let's turn the phone off can't get to
1:27
the phone switch that's okay we'll just
1:29
leave the phone as it is and let's see
1:31
what the instructions are so step one
1:34
clean the screen with provided
1:36
professional screen cleaner all right
1:39
let's see there's a package labeled
1:41
installation auxiliary tools and then
1:44
there's this which one only assumes is
1:47
the actual glass protector it is black
1:51
so that's vaguely ominous but let's see
1:54
I'll open this up we will dump it out
2:01
and there is all sorts of stuff and they
2:05
don't actually tell you how to do it but
2:07
luckily I've done this before so you
2:09
start with a cleaning wipe actually now
2:11
let's start with yeah yeah we'll start
2:13
with a cleaning wipe so the cleaning
2:16
wipe is usually an alcohol-based cleaner
2:18
similar to what you'd get at a Texas
2:20
barbecue after you had a really amazing
2:22
meal but I don't know that I use exactly
2:25
that for this purpose so we're gonna use
2:27
this and just give it a quick wipe the
2:30
goal is really just to get all the major
2:33
grease and oil and bits off so we'll do
2:37
that you can see my phones flying all
2:39
over the place it is kind of interesting
2:41
the screen goes a bit wacky here as I do
2:45
all that but you know whatever so we'll
2:50
do that and looks like we're good
2:55
now next step is there is let's see what
2:59
is this replacement pulling tag D
3:03
dusting cleaning foam there is a
3:06
lint-free cloth which we can use we
3:11
really really want to put a lot of
3:13
effort into this making sure its
3:14
pristine we also have this blue sticker
3:17
not described but again this sort of
3:21
thing typically is what you can use to
3:25
get rid of any stray hairs or dust or
3:30
anything I have a fairly dusty
3:33
environment with two cats and kids that
3:36
are kind of a mixed level of cleanliness
3:39
we won't go too much into that but I'll
3:42
do that and now step two tear off the
3:45
number one release liner on the glass
3:48
glass comes out and I don't see any
3:53
actually release liner on here so
4:00
what I can tell is that when I separate
4:03
it there is actually the dark part and
4:08
the clear part and the clear part it is
4:11
entirely reasonable to assume is the
4:14
part that goes on the phone and there's
4:16
a tiny slot at the top and I'm guessing
4:20
that that's a pretty good candidate see
4:23
now I already have some dust on here so
4:26
let's give that a quick write before we
4:29
put it on the phone
4:30
and now the whole trick is to just line
4:32
everything up
4:33
so I'm gonna just start with the slot on
4:37
the top and center everything and that
4:44
looks about right the 10 is probably the
4:47
easiest of all the iPhones to line up
4:49
because there isn't a thumb or finger
4:51
hole for you to worry about orienting
4:53
against so I do that and then we push at
4:57
the middle and then we just wipe up and
5:01
down to get rid of air bubbles and I can
5:04
see there's one in here which we can
5:07
work out I definitely do not want air
5:10
bubbles in my screen and I think we got
5:14
them all let's see
5:18
see what do you think you're seeing any
5:22
air bubbles there I don't
5:25
so I shall pop it out of its little
5:27
install case and I shall declare this
5:31
let's see if it's touchscreen sensitive
5:33
looks like that hasn't affected it at
5:35
all I will declare this a successful
5:38
install nice job hummock sigh obviously
5:41
really took my time here to really be
5:44
really careful and make sure I get it
5:45
right nope and I can see there is a tiny
5:48
air bubble in the middle I'll work that
5:49
out that's not a problem now let me tell
5:51
you just a little bit about the case are
5:54
the not the case let me tell you a
5:56
little bit about the glass so the
5:58
installation frame yeah whatever but the
6:01
glass itself is actually a 9h hardness
6:03
and ultra-thin it really is a quite thin
6:07
you know you even want the edges there
6:09
ound it and I can't tell that it's on
6:11
the phone or barely can tell and it's
6:13
hydrophobic and oleophobic which means
6:16
that it's resistant to oils and liquid
6:19
now the iPhone 10 is already the liquid
6:22
resistance so that's good this just
6:23
continues that but oleophobic is really
6:27
important because when you put your
6:28
thumb on your phone what you're doing is
6:32
you're getting oils on your screen and
6:34
if you like your screen to be clean you
6:36
know that that means that you're
6:38
constantly cleaning your screen and it's
6:39
super annoying
6:40
so having an oleophobic screen is
6:43
actually really important now one of the
6:45
nice things is hummock saw firs a 90-day
6:48
free replacement and what they say is a
6:50
lifetime warranty I'm not sure what that
6:52
means if I come back in a year and say
6:54
hey it cracked maybe I'll have to try
6:56
that but it does say one on their Amazon
6:59
page so that might be worth checking out
7:00
so I would say this is a success and
7:03
this is something that I think I'm gonna
7:05
recommend because it's looking real good
7:07
on my phone and I think I've got a
7:08
winner so this is Dave Taylor and hold
7:11
on whoa I didn't talk about the price
7:13
but before I didn't talk about the price
7:16
I didn't ask you to click on that
7:17
subscribe button oh my gosh I'm so
7:19
excited about my new screen cover that
7:22
I'm forgetting everything so click on
7:23
the subscribe button and really
7:24
appreciate that and if this is useful
7:26
thumbs ups always worthwhile
7:29
okay now the hum --ax iPhone 10 screen
7:34
protector is $10.99 at amazon.com so
7:38
check it out yourself and I say this is
7:41
a good solution for you people that are
7:43
concerned you might scratch or ding up
7:46
your screen because a $10 screen
7:48
protector is a lot less expensive than
7:49
$1,100 phone so Steve Taylor I'm gonna
7:52
workout that one little air bubble so
7:54
I'll catch you in my next video
