An iPhone can be a
pricey investment – an investment that can literally shatter into pieces
the very first time the handset meets that tile floor of yours. That
explains why so many companies are cashing in on the demand for
protective iPhone accessories.
Today we are reviewing one such accessory. It is called Ultra Glass – a €30 ($37) screen protector made for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.
What makes it better than the plethora of cheaper alternatives, you
ask? First of all, it is made out of tempered glass and not out of
transparent plastic, meaning that is should be tougher than the rest. In
fact, its manufacturer claims that Ultra Glass is effective against
cracks, strong shock, and scratches, while still managing to keep those
pesky fingerprints away. And if that is not enough, it is available in
four different colors to better suit your preferences – black, white,
violet, and blue. Seems promising, so let's take the accessory out of
the box and see what name it is going to make for itself.
Included
in the set is a cleaning cloth, which you use to wipe the front side of
your iPhone before applying Ultra Glass onto it. Now you need a pair of
steady hands to align the protector in its place. We couldn't achieve
perfection out of the first attempt, but since we had not yet applied
force onto the protector in order to make it stick, it came off rather
easily. We were very satisfied with the result after the second try – no
nasty bubbles to get rid of and no specs of dust caught in between. If
you are of the clumsy kind, worry not as the adhesive was still really
sticky even after taking the protector off four more times.
