I think that it's safe to say that no one actually likes putting a screen protector on their phones. Cheaper ones can distort the display, some of them don't fit properly, and if you're not good at putting them on, you'll be left with bubbles under them. Also, the outline of the screen protector around the display is just unsightly. People do it because they feel that they need to.

That's why the First-Defense Liquid Glass Screen Protector caught my eye at CES 2017. This screen protector isn't a sheet of glass or plastic that you place on your phone at all; you just have to wipe it down with the supplies in the package. First, you wipe the device down with a cleaner, and then the chemical that protects the screen.

Once that's done, the chemical bonds to the glass and Qmadix says it will have 9H hardness, which is the same as sapphire. You can see from the video that I allowed them to put it on my iPhone 7 Plus - which I was very skeptical to do at first - but once he was done, you wouldn't be able to tell that something is protecting the screen, and if anything, it looks better.

It will cost $39.99, which might seem steep, but to me, it seems like a small price to pay to get protection on an expensive device. Personally, I hate regular screen protectors to the point where I don't use them, so that price seems fair. It even comes with $100 worth of insurance, which obviously won't be enough to replace your expensive phone, but it might be enough to replace your screen if it still breaks.

I bought a similar product in Sainsbury UK and it was going for 5 pounds (on offer), so I think that's a bit pricey. It sounded like exactly the same product, they even used the sapphire metaphor. I used it on my iTouch screen and it seemed quite effective, and like you said even seemed to improve the display. Only thing is its a bit of a fingerprint magnet.

I bought another and used it on my Lenovo T420's touchpad. They usually get worn down very quickly (being a soft rubber), but with this stuff on it there's no wear and tear at all, and its usability is unchanged and it isn't visible. Its not marketed for that,but its very effective for this use.

Wish I'd bought a few more, if they are normally that price.

When it comes to quality then indeed you need a strong yet effective from the long run, so the price is quite understandable compare on traditional glass screen protector.

Like I said I wish I'd bought a few more. I got the idea that they hadn't sold many in Sainsbury (maybe because people didn't really know what it was) so were selling it at quite a knock-down price. It sounded interesting and at that price was worth trying. By the time I went back for the second time though they'd all gone. Guess I was lucky to even get two.

Definitely recommend (especially for toughening up laptop touchpads - mind you you should have seen the amount of gunk that came off with the alcohol wipe:confused: it was embarrassing, I thought I was a very clean person)
