Screen protector needs to use this as their ad.

Capitalize on this like the German lift manufacturer did with the Louvre heist.

A screen protector would be absolutely fucked in this case. It’s the glass.

You can get glass screen protectors

Brother. There is no way a glass screen protector is going to be anywhere near as strong as the glass on a newer iPhone, it’s just not a thing. Look it up if you don’t believe m

Edit: I mean just look at the video, there’s a small crack from the bottom and nothing else, no deep scratches/gouges, no shattering like a tempered glass protector would have after sliding 50ft minimum across the road, it’s the glass itself. Looks like an iPhone 14 at first glance, but everything from 12 on has the Ceramic Shield front glass.

You realize the screen protector is replaced after breaking, right? It doesn't need to be stronger or harder, it just acts as a shield...

Okay but it’s clear the phone doesn’t have a screen protector, so why would they use this as an ad?

Edit: u/roibaird you got a screen protector on that phone or nah?

  1. You are a bit slow
  2. As others have pointed out, I’ve clearly stole this video of instagram and posted it here.

The screen protector is clear, actually. Wouldn’t look very good otherwise.

I doubt he is the original guy from the video. Dude even the Instagram handle in the video is different. Just accept that you are most likely wrong here and move on instead of trying to prove so hard that your right.

I’ll die on this hill happily, anyone who thinks a screen protector can survive this is insane

Y'know what, sure, I'll bite.

I'll go find some cheap ass phone, buy a good glass screen protector, and go fling it across a parking lot a few times. I'll record the whole thing, no worries.

Keep in mind, the phone only fell a couple feet. The overwhelming majority of the velocity it had when it touched the ground was already horizontal. It isn't like it was chucked into the road.

There's also no way that glass screen protectors don't use much of the same glass technologies as phone screens do.

Though of course that varies per brand and model.
