from a basically unheard of Canadian company it's called Phantom Phantom Hourglass it's called Phantom glass and it's the first product since liquid armor that has really gotten my attention and made me think about switching the flash Voyager GTX usb3 drive from Corsair provides SSD like performance and fits comfortably in your pocket click now to learn more all right so what is it well in a nutshell uh you know that super cool scratch resistant Corning Gorilla Glass that you've got on your phone in all likelihood well it's a screen protector that's made of that instead of some layo piece of plastic that means it's flexible shatter resistant scrape resistant oleophobic so it's easy to wipe clean and it's almost perfectly clear it won't hurt the touchcreen performance and finally it won't feel any different from the stock glass other than raising the surface of your phone a fraction of a millimeter something that folks who like vinyl wraps from companies like dbrand might
