silencer5089 How is the oleophobic coating on the sapphire Imos? Does it last significantly longer compared to normal TG SP?

And I know the sapphire should almost be impossible to scratch, but I guess it’s more prone to crack if dropped on the floor?

Looking to finally try out imos, but the price really needs some persuading before I cash it haha!

Thats one thing up to your decide factor when choosing screen protector for ur phone...

if you're a careful person who basically never drop your phone and fussy with hairline scratches and smoothness... i would say sapphire is a go, cause my sisters' xs max is using first gen sapphire and 6 months later the coating still good as new... given the fact from my experience ladies phone the screen protector oleophobic coating usually wear off faster reason from throwing their phone in the bag, make up stick on the phone, and sometimes accidental scratches from their earring... my sister has all these 3 happening to the sapphire but it still is good as new

sapphire = impossible to scratch but breaks easier
corning = harder to break but easier to scratch

afterall glass is still glass, it will break if there are forces impacted on it or drop... the only reason we use it is to protect our precious phone screen  icon_rolleyes.gif

hope this info helps  thumbup.gif



here is a strength test for the sapphire screen protector

Alright thanks for the info!

I’m quite careful with my phone, so I rarely drop it, maybe once or twice accidental drops and that’s it, and I know it’s almost impossible to simulate drops but if the sapphire happens to crack/ shatter on the first drop then would be heart broken hahaha

Any ideas about the oleophobic coating for Corning vs Sapphire? Because that’s one factor I’m particular about, the cheap TG’s oleophobic coating usually wear off very fast and causes the screen to be very uncomfortable to use.
