1
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:14,719
So, not that long ago, guys, I did an unboxing of the Liquid Armor Invisible

2
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,039
Nano Coating Tech Screen Protector. And what I said was that at the time, I

3
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:23,199
didn't really have a way to validate whether this stuff works or not. So,

4
00:00:21,439 --> 00:00:28,080
what it claims is that with the liquid coating, you basically just spray it on

5
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:33,760
a screen, wipe it in one direction, and leave it for 24 hours to cure, or even I

6
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:39,600
think it's just uh whatever. It's not that long to dry, and then 24 hours to

7
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:41,200
cure, and it will make your screen up to

8
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,960
two times stronger than traditional screen protectors, which sounds pretty

9
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:49,600
good, right? But unless you validate it, then it's just a claim on a box. So,

10
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:53,280
Slick and I came up with an experiment today.

11
00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:57,199
where we're taking two dummy phones. So, these are a BlackBerry Curve and a

12
00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:02,160
BlackBerry Bold. And we're going to drag them on string behind my

13
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:07,040
motorcycle. We're going to drag them screenside down. And I I wrote on the

14
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,600
backs of them. So, this one is our liquid armor coated one. You won't

15
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:15,360
you're not going to be able to read that. You can read it. Oh, cool. And this is our control group one. So, the

16
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:19,920
bold has been coated with liquid armor 3 days ago, and the curve has not been

17
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:23,759
coated with liquid armor at all. So, we're going to tie these down and we're

18
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:29,040
going to drag them down to the end of the street and see if there's actually

19
00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:33,680
any difference in the scratched upness of the screens when we're done. So, stay

20
00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:37,200
tuned, guys. This is going to be fun. So, I don't know if you guys noticed

21
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,799
this. I don't know if you can see it in the camera, but here I'm going to try

22
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:45,920
I'll try and catch some on my sweater. It's actually snowing right now. So, I

23
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,840
don't know why this always happens. It must be slick because every time I film

24
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:54,880
something outside with him, it starts freaking snowing. So anyway, we're set

25
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:58,280
up now. There's the two phones. And uh

26
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,280
here we go.

27
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:43,040
All right. So you guys are going to be here

28
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:45,200
for the results. So this is our control

29
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:49,680
phone and this is our liquid armor phone. So let's do the control phone

30
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:53,519
first. So you can see the control phone is scratched to high hell. The only part

31
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:57,280
we're really going to be looking at here though, guys, is the screen itself

32
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:02,560
because this is going to be the same on both phones here. Actually, we should wipe it off so that we get a good

33
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,360
representation. Okay. And this part has not been coated with liquid armor on the

34
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:10,560
other one. So you can see how scratched up the screen is. Can you see pretty well?

35
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:14,560
Um, how about like a better angle? Does that

36
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:20,159
help? Okay, good. We got it. All right. Here is the liquid armor phone. So,

37
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,159
let's

38
00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:24,319
see.

39
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:34,000
Um, oh, hold on a

40
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:36,920
second. Oh, check it out.

41
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:41,680
The scratched up coating is the liquid armor. Look at that, guys. I didn't

42
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:45,840
realize it was going on so thick. So, you see how scratched up the screen is,

43
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:49,440
right? But then when I Oh, check this out. No, this actually works. I was

44
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,879
pretty disappointed at first there, but look at this. If I scrape the liquid

45
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:58,879
armor back off, you're supposed to reapply it every 6 months or so, the

46
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:02,000
screen is actually not scratched. Holy

47
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:04,480
smokes. Look at that.

48
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:09,200
Okay, so guys, the answer is liquid armor actually freaking works. Even if

49
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:14,799
you drag your phone behind you on a motorcycle, I got up to about 30 35 km

50
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:19,359
an hour. Huh. I was not expecting this stuff to work nearly that well. So, I'm

51
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:24,240
officially done with stupid screen protectors, with their stupid applicator

52
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:27,600
cardboards, and all that kind of crap because this is amazing. So, thank you
