World's FIRST iPhone 11 Sapphire Screen Protector? Shellrus Sapphire X Review

sapphire

, that was kind of a buzzword back in 2014, you know, when rumors were about Apple using

in its iPhone 6s, but sapphire didn't work or Apple definitely didn't work for GT's advanced technologies and it didn't really work. it worked. So far, this high-end premium

is called Sapphire X by Shell Wrist. The

is something else. I must warn you to prepare to have her mind. Emel through Montine

s and actual use on Monte and I have been testing screen protectors for years, we are very proud of that and we have no reason, I don't actually know why we do that, but we literally have boxes of broken glass in our office and I save them in case I have to use them in the future, I don't know what for but I still have them, oh my goodness that's a lot of broken glass.

I was a little skeptical when I

arrived. through shell risk as my

first

home on the website left me a bit suspicious because the scratch test photo shown on their website shows that their screen protector is very very tough and then it compared with a normal glass screen protector, but what I can say is that the screen protector is not of good quality. Look at the adhesive on the edge of that screen protector. It doesn't stick to iPhones, so it definitely wasn't an Apple to Apple comparison. It's not even a comparison of Apple with Orange.

Comparison of an apple to a rotten banana, another reason for my skepticism in terms of sapphires because you know you have big companies like zag that claim to have sapphire in their products like sapphire defense and I'm pretty sure their product is just plastic, but it's just me but I took a chance on Cheverus and they got turned around so here we are so showers is a new company that's only been around for a year but the people inside showers have actually been cutting sapphire for at least five years at the beginning. In the video I mentioned a company called GT advanced technologies, well they were all the rage in 2013-2014 because they are the companies that were supposed to make all the sapphire stuff for the iPhone 6s, but GT advanced technologies.

They left the sapphire crystal business in 2014 and from all the bankruptcy hoopla it shows us that they went and bought several hundred kilns to start cutting their own sapphire. Now, in recent years, they have refined the process to the point where we can now strike a piece. of glass on our iPhones in this piece because I really screwed it up before getting to the actual product. I just want to illustrate the difference between normal tempered glass and sapphire material, so normal tempered glass is made by melting sand, how the sapphire descends into the On the other hand, specifically synthetic sapphire is made by growing it in a special furnace that It involves an alumina oxide seed ingot, lots of heat and helium to cool some of the kiln parts, basically everything is cooked as a reverse donor, I guess I like that. it starts spinning and you just pick up these ingots and it takes 21 days to grow a 140 kilogram ingot, so three weeks to grow this piece of glass that you can probably get about 900 screen protectors out of, so it requires a lot of time, a lot of energy and a lot of money. and that's why it's expensive but after you get those giant ingots you basically treat it like it has no class left, you cut it, polish it and then put some coatings on it, that's how they make the Sapphire screen protector now with it .

Somehow let's talk about sapphire a point up to three millimeters this screen protector. It is not a full edge-to-edge screen protector, so depending on your iPhone, there may be an exposed gap between any case you use and the screen protector. Now I'm told they're going to release an edge to edge version, but that edge is going to be something, it's going to be a different material, like the edges of the flow lab, where it's like epoxy and raisin, it's not going to be sapphire, so it might be a weakness on that part, but it's still an edge to edge screen protector, so if you're worried about it then buy this one and use any case you want.

A screen protector has a notch for the front speaker, but everything else is covered and I didn't notice a difference in terms of image quality. the beam from my front camera covered the Sapphire The installation was not excellent. The showers did not have installation tools with the projects they sent. He asked me to check them out but they said they should have them and for the price you are going to pay they will, the installation process was quite painful despite my ninja skills when it comes to installing screen protectors. I just received A little frustrated, but in this whole process I discovered that the glass does not bend as much, so when you have problems with dust, certain glass that is not sapphire for protection will actually bend and stay off your iPhone if you have been using it too many times.

It didn't happen with sapphire acts, this sapphire screen protector honestly feels different now in terms of smoothness, it is as smooth as other high quality glass, but it feels different since sapphire transfers heat much faster than glass, which means it feels cooler to the touch, it's a very different feeling, it's very, very subtle, but it's very, very clean, don't believe me, look how quickly the heat changes between a glass screen protector double tempered glass and the showers after warming up, that's pretty good, and yes, I had to use my thermal camera again. The last thing I'll notice, and this is probably one of the most interesting things I've seen in terms of glass screen protectors, is that on the bottom of the screen protector there is a faint watermark.

I've been using this particular screen protector on my iPhone 11 for several weeks now and until I looked very closely at the edges I knew everything, I didn't even see it like it was that subtle, but the fact that they are able to mark it like that, that's great in the glass

world

, like it's literally just glass so it's very hard to tell the difference between different brands of glass, most of it comes from the same place so having them put watermarks on their product and , being so, this is very subtle, just great, but none of this can really justify the 80 US dollars you will have to pay to get your iPhone screen protector if it does not offer a better than average product.

Learn about screen protection because honestly, if you buy a sports car you expect it to go fast, okay, let's talk about protection now. If you've been watching my reviews for a while, you know that I consider screen protectors to be scratch-resistant consumables. and then they break is that the case with sapphire screen protectors now the first test I did with the sapphire It did when it comes to scratch protection the average tempered glass screen protector claims to have a hardness of 9H. You'll often see companies promote scratch resistance by lightly cutting a piece of paper on top of an iPhone with a razor, but this is what was typical of the razor.

The box knife has a hardness of about 6, the cunning glass, which is a theoretical nine, so it's basically testing a bulletproof vest with nerf dirt like it just doesn't make any sense. I've been reviewing screen protectors for years and that 9h hardness claim is generally not true, it's almost 9:00 it's not quite the night night scratches will almost always appear because the oleophobic coating gets scratched or removed or the glass itself gets damaged. scratch and micro vibrations almost appear in one hundred percent of After a few months, the mesh protector that I show you in this video has been in use for several weeks and has nothing.

I can't see any microabrasions, which is great now. One step further in terms of scratch protection, I took three foams, one with a narrow collective screen protector, which is a kind of normal glass screen protector, one with my current favor of floette, one double tempered and then the Sapphire X on my iPhone 11, the first. The scratch test was done using a random rock I found outside and I was thinking I was just going to do this for effect but that particular rock had a corner that had something on it that was harder than 9h as it chewed through all the protectors. of screen, except the sapphire rx as we did that test and it was simply amazing.

The next step was the knife test which again, the higher hardness of six on anything nine or about nine didn't leave any expected marks and no, I didn't. Cut a piece of paper on top to demonstrate how scratch resistant this thing is because that's silly. Next up was the 120 grit sandpaper test and it leaves a mark on tempered glass screen protectors, but definitely not on Sapphire ones, regardless of what. I pushed hard if you find this video helpful and are planning to get it, are considering getting it. I'm working on trying to find a discount code for you guys, so check the pin comments, there will be at least five. percent discount.

I'm trying to figure out if I get more but we'll see but if you're thinking about getting it definitely use the code, it's the 24th and I'm finishing this review now. I posted it on the 26th so I did all this legwork before I told you I want you to give me a discount because this product Frank is fantastic and the last scratch test was done with my Leatherman and for some reason the file My Leatherman doesn't have four glasses, as it literally chews on screen protectors like Monte chews on carrots. Both the arrow collective and the folding screen protectors were completely destroyed by the file, but the sapphire Shit, shit, my bowl got scratched, the production is pretty good, how about the impact protection?

To find out, I took out the screen protector for a spin with the screen crusher and Bertha, my 200 gram steel ball. Now I started the first fall at about 80 centimeters, which is. the high average for tempered glass screen protectors and it broke which surprised me because I thought it would be higher because it was at a slightly elevated level seeing it just reflected everything from the scratch test so I did several other tests drop on the intact parts of the screen protector and each drop broke between 80 and 85 centimeters, which puts it on the same level as an above average normal tempered glass screen protector.

This is about 20 to 30 centimeters lower than my current top screen protector. nano armor in terms of impact protection now the impact test which was a bit disappointing is still pretty good but a bit disappointing as I was really expecting it to be super tough but sapphire is a bit more fragile than glass normal soda and lime, so you know, I guess it's for As you would expect, but this is the thing when it comes to impact protection when it comes to the glass screen protector breaking. I've broken enough screen protectors. I know that a small scratch can easily break if you drop it because the Sapphire X does not scratch easily. maybe not at all, based on what I've done the chances of it cracking will be much lower unless you do what I did with the impact test, scratch protection or impact protection so after all I'm very excited, you must be.

I'm excited because it's a real sapphire screen protector, but panic. Here's the kicker: it's not cheap and for eighty dollars you can buy four complete AB Man suits of armor that will probably last the life of your iPhone. You know, two years every six months. Replace it if you are bad with your phone height. So it's this sapphire x this is a premium product so if you have money to spend definitely go get it and I don't think we're getting ripped off. Take it away because remember it takes 21 days to grow this crystal where, you know, soda lime glass, you just melt it, look there, so is it worth it?

It's up to you again, you get the money to burn it absolutely better than It's still glass, it's still a consumable, although the Sapphire X is a better than average consumable, but if you want the best of the best, the Sapphire follow, so that's it. I have questions, comments, I have to mention something about Monty. He looks like an absolute mess because he has hair everywhere and I changed his basic boot and now it's mostly oatmeal so he has like strands of oatmeal in his beard but he's getting a haircut so in about an hour he'll lookprim and proper. handsomer than me he is already better but the first time you see my videos I recommend you click subscribe if you want to know what I think our other high quality products do check out my channel that's all I have , yeah, I really think that's it.

Pretty much all I got was sapphire, which was trendy in 2014 when I went sapphire, which was kind of a buzzword in 2014 when we were talking, but man, I hate this place, I literally hate this place, sapphire, ya I finished. with that I had faith I've never done what's on this rock but it's destroying these screensavers that's great that's amazing amazing hey Monty how stylish you look after your haircut look at that face look at that oh yeah, clingy you just are the best good you guysI don't know, but mr. Monty here has a crooked tooth and that just adds to the extra cuteness of him, doesn't it, pup?

Okay, you say goodbye, yeah.
