IntelliGLASS- “The Smarter Screen Protector”
Did you know that according to C-NET, Apple charges over $125 to replace a damaged screen on an iPhone 6? I don’t know about you, but I would not be able to afford this (or I’d suck it up and pay it, but I’d be really sad about it). There is a way to add a layer of extra protection to your phone’s screen. According to IntelliGLASS by IntelliARMOR their screen protector has a surface hardness of 9H- only a diamond is stronger. Now, I’m over 50 (just barely!) but I’m not necessarily super hard on my phone, outside of dropping it every now an again (I did break my lovely Christmas gift phone case within three days of having it) but I do worry about scratches on the screen as my phone tumbles around in my purse. This extra layer of protection takes away this fear.
My future son-in-law has this screen protector on his phone and shared with me that he was on his motorcycle and actually dropped his phone out of his pocket as he pulled out of his driveway. His phone fell hard face down against the pavement and he very happily discovered that his IntelliGLASS had protected his screen. It wasn’t broken, or even scratched. I was also impressed!
The screen protector is very thin. You can barely feel that it’s there when you use touch the home button. You really can’t even tell it’s there otherwise, other than the screen is nice and clear. It claims that it’s special coating will control smudges and fingerprints, I honestly still see them, but the smudges are definitely not as strong as they appear on the unprotected screen. I also noticed the screen protector definitely shows less glare on my phone when I have it on my desk in my office. The glare from the fluorescent lights along with the usual smudges are absolutely less visible with IntelliGLASS installed. The screen looks beautiful.
Installing the screen protector:
As far as installing the screen. It could not be easier. I followed the instructions explicitly.
- I washed my hands first to be sure all of the oils were gone.
- I then cleaned the screen with the included alcohol prep pad. After the alcohol pad, I used the included microfiber cloth to dry the screen and clean any other smudges I may have missed.
- Finally I used the lint removal tape all over the screen to complete the cleaning process (this is just a sticky pad that picks up tiny particles).
- I took the screen out of it’s foam package and pulled the backing off by grasping the little flag that was stuck to the back. I lined up the screen as best I could and placed the upper corner down. I realized I didn’t get it on as straight as I’d like. I called in my husband to help as he has a bit steadier hand. He lifted the screen and replaced it to where it was straight. I noticed a spot that looked like a bubble that I could not clear. We lifted that part of the screen and then carefully pressed it back, removing the little air pocket.
- I used the microfiber cloth to wipe down the entire installed screen protector. You seriously cannot even tell there’s the extra layer of protection, it’s so thin!
