new phone new screen protector let's get
0:02
one installed Dave Taylor here and I'm
0:12
looking at the new iPhone 10 R it's very
0:16
nice but like all iPhones it makes me
0:19
anxious to just have it without any
0:21
protection sure we're gonna put it in a
0:23
case but that screen surface I know
0:27
Gorilla Glass it's super tough they do a
0:30
great job with it but if it has any
0:33
impact at all I'd rather have something
0:35
else absorb the brunt of it and possibly
0:37
get chipped or cracked rather than the
0:40
phone screen itself ironically when I
0:42
was prepping for this I actually dropped
0:45
this phone and the screen protector that
0:47
was on it got chipped so it was perfect
0:51
timing perfect timing that we are going
0:53
to install one of these this is the
0:55
spigen blaster or glas.t are depending
1:00
how you pronounce it tempered glass
1:01
screen protector for the iphone 10 are
1:05
now these are really nice screen
1:07
protectors and at a good price too so it
1:10
has an oleophobic coating which means
1:12
that it's somewhat resistant to the
1:14
greases of your fingers and it has a 9h
1:17
hardness which is presumably not as you
1:20
know not as good as 10 H but better than
1:23
8 H I don't know what that means either
1:26
and it's made out of actual real glass
1:28
also just as nice it comes in a 2-pack
1:30
so if for some reason you don't get it
1:33
installed properly or he's not your
1:35
favorite rapper see 2pac nevermind ok
1:38
we'll just keep moving forward
1:39
so the way these install now are it's
1:42
super easy because it not only comes
1:44
with everything you need but it comes
1:46
with a little case so you put your phone
1:49
in the middle of this thing and
1:51
basically it does the work for you in
1:54
terms of lining everything up so let's
1:56
see how this works now it looks like
1:58
they actually have to how about that so
2:01
let's see step one
2:05
move film so I think the way this works
2:07
so this is gonna be even more
2:08
interesting because I think you'd
2:09
actually install it phone screen down
2:12
let's see so before applying remove any
2:18
screen protector or stickers from your
2:22
screen wash your hands I already did
2:24
that that's super important and use the
2:27
cleaning wipe to remove dust and oil
2:29
from the phone itself so everything's
2:33
included in fact that since it's a
2:35
2-pack it has two of everything so I
2:38
don't see any obvious way to open it so
2:40
we will resort again to the opening
2:43
device which happens to also be my knife
2:46
so let's see we will hopefully be able
2:49
to do this without any blood because you
2:51
don't want to see any blood on camera do
2:53
you actually you probably do what the
2:55
heck you want to see blood right you
2:57
want to see action this should be like
2:59
some Hollywood extravaganza well I'm not
3:02
gonna deliver so no blood not gonna
3:04
happen but we do have everything else
3:06
that we need we have stickers we have
3:09
dust removal stickers right so let's see
3:12
start with lens cleaning and it actually
3:16
even says it has one wipe in it so
3:19
that's probably not actually step one
3:20
but we will use it and we will wipe down
3:24
the phone screen and again I can't
3:26
emphasize enough the importance of
3:28
starting out by actually washing your
3:31
hands thoroughly because it's so easy to
3:34
get dust and if you have dust underneath
3:36
your screen protector it will drive you
3:38
bonkers forever so do it right the first
3:41
time and we're going to just use this
3:44
wipe super easy the phone is still brand
3:48
new so it's still in pristine condition
3:50
and we will get it all nice and clean I
3:54
see no dust or anything on here which is
3:57
nice so then let's see then we can use
4:00
the dust removal sticker I suppose
4:03
although actually I don't think we need
4:06
to use that because there is no dust on
4:08
this screen at all so now next step
4:10
let's see then step one is to peel this
4:15
off so mostly we're working with the
4:18
case so step one will be to peel this
4:21
off and then step two is we're gonna put
4:24
this on the phone and I just want to
4:28
make sure that there's the cutout on the
4:29
top and of course the iPhone 10r is part
4:33
of the iPhone 10 family so it has the
4:35
cutout which you'll also want on the top
4:38
so I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna just
4:40
line it up and we're going to put it on
4:44
the phone let's see there we go so it's
4:48
on the phone and I can see actually that
4:52
the adhesive is adhering and so it is
4:56
actually a connecting to the phone
4:59
surface which is exactly what you want
5:00
so step 2 press and slide then wait 30
5:07
seconds and then remove the sticker so
5:12
has it been 30 seconds I don't know but
5:15
I don't see how you remove the sticker
5:17
let's see how that part goes
5:28
well there's a little bit of a puzzle
5:30
here because it says to remove sticker
5:32
but they ha I got it now let me show you
5:37
before I go further so here's what you
5:39
see and then on the other side it just
5:42
looks like that so there's really not
5:43
much to see here so I'll put this back
5:45
down and then the sticker it's a little
5:48
tricky to get it up but then it looks
5:52
like the whole thing sort of removes and
5:55
let's see what's next so we remove the
5:59
sticker and then I think we use that to
6:01
push down I see so now we have it on the
6:06
phone but we still have another surface
6:09
we need to take off so we'll take this
6:11
other surface off and now we have the
6:16
screen protector on the phone and it is
6:19
just about perfect the easy way to tell
6:22
is to actually black out the phone or
6:25
turn it off and oops let me do that
6:28
and there are two small air bubbles one
6:31
here and one here but they're going to
6:35
be really easy to get rid of with this
6:37
included soft spreader basically so
6:41
there's one totally gone and there's the
6:45
other one totally gone now what's nice
6:48
is because they have the install tray
6:50
you always get it perfectly squared and
6:53
perfectly positioned the first time and
6:55
now that I actually turn off this phone
6:58
again then oops then I can now see there
7:04
are no bubbles there's no anything it is
7:08
a perfectly installed screen protector
7:10
so nice job spigen little complicated
7:14
with take this off then take this off
7:16
then take this off so there are a lot of
7:19
steps in this more so than other protect
7:21
other screen protector installation
7:23
systems I've seen but the end result is
7:25
we have a nice phone the iPhone 10 are
7:28
and it has a nice screen protector on it
7:31
and it's tempered glass oleophobic so
7:34
it's not going to tip but fingerprints
7:36
is I use it and that's nice I hope that
7:39
you saw that it was pretty
7:41
forward to install now before I tell you
7:43
how much it cost and I guarantee you'll
7:44
be surprised at the price but before I
7:46
get there
7:47
go ahead and click on subscribe I really
7:49
appreciate when you subscribe to my
7:51
channel and do me a favor if you
7:54
actually don't use screen protectors or
7:56
any sort then tell me why in the
7:58
comments I appreciate that this is a
8:00
good debate for us to have because I
8:01
always put them on everything because I
8:03
just figure it's like a little tiny
8:05
inexpensive insurance policy your
8:08
mileage may vary so this is the spigen
8:12
glasstor tempered glass protector 2-pack
8:16
for 1099 and you can check them out at
8:19
spigen z-- website and pick one up for
8:22
yourself so dave taylor i think we have
8:25
this perfectly installed so i think we
8:27
just need to put it back in its case and
8:28
that means i'll catch you next week
