00:03Many screen protectors claim to offer the same protection at vastly different prices.

02:32We tested three screen protectors - a one dollar, a forty-dollar, and an eighty-dollar tempered glass protector.

05:39Using hardness picks, we determined the true hardness levels of the protectors.

06:57The one dollar and forty-dollar protectors were easily scratched at level 6 hardness.

08:51The sapphire protector proved to be the most durable, withstanding level 9 hardness.

09:59In a drop test, the sapphire protector fared better than the others.

10:49Expensive protectors may come with additional tools, but they do not necessarily offer better protection.

12:09Price does not always indicate the quality or effectiveness of a glass screen protector.
