00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:14.719
So, not that long ago, guys, I did an unboxing of the Liquid Armor Invisible

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:19.039
Nano Coating Tech Screen Protector. And what I said was that at the time, I

00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:23.199
didn't really have a way to validate whether this stuff works or not. So,

00:00:21.439 --> 00:00:28.080
what it claims is that with the liquid coating, you basically just spray it on

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

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

00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:41.200
cure, and it will make your screen up to

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:44.960
two times stronger than traditional screen protectors, which sounds pretty

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,

00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:53.280
Slick and I came up with an experiment today.

00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:57.199
where we're taking two dummy phones. So, these are a BlackBerry Curve and a

00:00:55.199 --> 00:01:02.160
BlackBerry Bold. And we're going to drag them on string behind my

00:01:00.120 --> 00:01:07.040
motorcycle. We're going to drag them screenside down. And I I wrote on the

00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:09.600
backs of them. So, this one is our liquid armor coated one. You won't

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

00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:19.920
bold has been coated with liquid armor 3 days ago, and the curve has not been

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

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

00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:33.680
any difference in the scratched upness of the screens when we're done. So, stay

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

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

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

00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:49.840
don't know why this always happens. It must be slick because every time I film

00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:54.880
something outside with him, it starts freaking snowing. So anyway, we're set

00:01:51.759 --> 00:01:58.280
up now. There's the two phones. And uh

00:01:54.880 --> 00:01:58.280
here we go.

00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:43.040
All right. So you guys are going to be here

00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:45.200
for the results. So this is our control

00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:49.680
phone and this is our liquid armor phone. So let's do the control phone

00:02:47.519 --> 00:02:53.519
first. So you can see the control phone is scratched to high hell. The only part

00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:57.280
we're really going to be looking at here though, guys, is the screen itself

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

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:05.360
representation. Okay. And this part has not been coated with liquid armor on the

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?

00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:14.560
Um, how about like a better angle? Does that

00:03:11.720 --> 00:03:20.159
help? Okay, good. We got it. All right. Here is the liquid armor phone. So,

00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.159
let's

00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.319
see.

00:03:27.720 --> 00:03:34.000
Um, oh, hold on a

00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:36.920
second. Oh, check it out.

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:41.680
The scratched up coating is the liquid armor. Look at that, guys. I didn't

00:03:39.440 --> 00:03:45.840
realize it was going on so thick. So, you see how scratched up the screen is,

00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:49.440
right? But then when I Oh, check this out. No, this actually works. I was

00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:52.879
pretty disappointed at first there, but look at this. If I scrape the liquid

00:03:51.519 --> 00:03:58.879
armor back off, you're supposed to reapply it every 6 months or so, the

00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:02.000
screen is actually not scratched. Holy

00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:04.480
smokes. Look at that.

00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:09.200
Okay, so guys, the answer is liquid armor actually freaking works. Even if

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

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

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:24.240
officially done with stupid screen protectors, with their stupid applicator

00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:27.600
cardboards, and all that kind of crap because this is amazing. So, thank you
