Yeah, those who frequent military circles will often tell you that "military-grade" usually means "just ever so slightly above bare minimum, to clear approval for mass production."
Speaking as someone who has worked with the military, "military grade" just means "its the cheapest thing that requisitions was willing to buy". I'd love to see you look at some of the nuggets I've seen
Just saying for those who might not know. Military grade DOES NOT mean it's good. It means it ticked all the boxes of testing and was the cheapest option to do so. The epitome of "good enough".
Exactly. Companies try to make "military grade" sound like a huge deal when in reality military grade means "just good and cheap enough to function" as that's all the military needs.
As someone who has applied hundreds of those Zagg screen protectors, I cannot tell you the level of suffering I felt seeing him slap the thing down onto an absolutely filthy screen. They're not as clear as the glass protectors but they were genuinely great, a huge step above the normal film protectors. They protected against fingerprints and actually kept the screen looking pristine! Actually, artists who draw on ipads nowadays will sometimes use a variation of that protector that makes the screen have a bit of resistance, called a "paper-feel" protector. They're fascinating!
Once I saw Minecraft Lite I knew that iPad was truly "vintage", I don't think most Minecraft players even remember Minecraft Lite anymore, I still remember when it was taken off the app store
I still have it on a really old phone. I'm never wiping that phone cause it's full of old apps that no longer exist anymore. It's like a relic of the past.
Ok but as a tech store worker, Zagg aged well. They have a lifetime warranty and are probably the nicest packaged screen protectors with applicator guides. Love em, but WOW that old box is obnoxious
I worked in the mobile dept at Bestbuy and we installed these, ALL THE TIME! They actually do a fairly good job of protecting the device, cause its not plastic. Its more of a malleable rubber and can really take a solid hit before damaging the screen at all. We would always wash hands, clean the screen, spray the screen, pull the screen protector, spray it, and then lay it down and squegee. I agree it made the devices screen feel like crap, but if you wanted to protect it from damage, you couldnt really get anything better than the Zagg. Also as a note, it stinks cause its not water lol. Its some weird chemical solution that cures under the screen protector and harden it up a bit.
Back in the early days, these were actually very premium screen protectors. Once glass screen protectors become mainstream. Of course nobody brought them.
From the depths of NA, happy new year. Loved seeing you and Linus making some videos together(especially since you are more than just hands and voice on LTT)... though maybe test your friendship and see if Linus would come to Kangarooland, or atleast which "Media Group" he would send to you in the land of deadly spiders.
I really liked my invisible shield screen protector on my older iPhones, it had a thick, weird feel BUT it protected the screen really well and some of the lesser scratches would actually “heal” over a small amount of time - a huge step above anything else at the time
The reason the Invisible shield sold so much is there were kiosks in malls. They offered lifetime replacements. I used the Invisible shield for several iPhones, it protected them from many drops.
Zagg screen protectors are actually awesome. Used one on every phone I had up until my Flip (for obvious reasons) and they work great. They even let you replace them for free if you pay shipping.
Agreed 110% man. DankPods was my discovery back in 2022, and his channel makes everything humorous, including lost relics of two decades old mp3 history. Also, happy New year brother and fellow DankPods aficionado. Imagine if DankPods did a review of CRT displays. Man, those Trinitron tube televisions would be great to watch 1990s anime on, such as YuYu Hakusho. Gonna try that anime out this year, as a friend recommended me Hunter X Hunter two years ago, the first anime that made me realize not all anime is trash. YuYu is made by the same guy as HxH.
This Zagg screen protector reminds me of something 3MK sold, a thick silicone-like screen protector that is somewhat self-healing, and can theoretically be taken off and washed. I had that two phones ago because my phone had a stupid curved screen edge, and glass screen protectors would come in two varieties - one that goes only on the flat part and looks terrible, and one with wrong curve radius, so it always cracks along it. The only thing wrong with the thick and soft screen protector was that it would yellow over time. It was in a way better than glass, because it would absorb impacts better.
When i worked in a hardware store I would go through glass screen proctors like candy. Mostly due to concrete. The bags would leak, get some of it into my pocket, and then pull out my phone to check the time just to realize that a small piece of gravel hit it just right and shattered the whole thing. Swapping back to plastic bits worked better in that environment.
It’s a shame you didn’t try to damage the invisishield - I totally agree about the cheap plastic/rubber feel, that’s why I ended up having a used one to play with, they’re crazy tough
like others have said those zagg screen protectors were the shit back in the day and still are pretty great compared to a plain Jane screen protector. they'll stop more than you think and even if the screen protectors gets sliced there's a good chance the screen underneath is fine. before gorilla glass became good and glass screen protectors took off this was it especially considering they offered full body protection not just screen protectors for certain devices.
I remember using zagg's invisible shield for my Sony Ericsson Satio way back in the day. It lasted really long and I was quite happy with it! But it did start collecting dirt along the edges over time, which is a boo.
I don't know about back then, but ZAGG protectors nowadays are actually really good. They even give you a lifetime warranty. As long as it was installed correctly when it was purchased, you could replace it at no cost to you.
I have one of these Zagg things on my old ipod touch since purchase. The aluminum is still nice and shiny, its basically like new lol, its great! These things were fantastic back in the day before you could really get glass protectors and if you didn't want a bulky case. Gave a little grip, self healing, didn't seem to yellow like the alternative brands. Tricky to install but worth it IMO
WELCOME TO USE IT Also, one of the things I miss most about my S5 was always having a remote, so if my remote stopped working or I couldn't find it, it wasn't a huge deal. I used to service TVs, and one of the best parts about having that phone is that I didn't need to search through a massive box of different remotes to try to find the ones that are supposed to fit the TV just to test.
Can InvisibleShield protect mommy and me from daddy when he's been drinking? I didn't think so, so you can't protect against EVERYTHING. Yeah, I'd like to get a refund then.
The only real benefit of using the old 'thick' Zagg screen protectors for me, personally, was that era had EVERYTHING slick, including the tops of tables/desks/car dashes/etc, and the back of every Gadget ever. Putting a Zagg on a device meant I could lay it FACE DOWN and it wouldn't slip and slide around everywhere or fall off random things and shatter/explode.
I laugh every time whenever the AAs (or AAAs) are yelled out... however the invisibleSHIELD's box is a different level of unhinged (as of writing, everyone is asleep in the house and I'm composing myself so not to *cackle* at 2:53)
I remember back in the day before optimization when there were separate apps for iPhone and iPad, since a single application being cross-compatible with a small and large screen was simply impossible in 2010.
Hilarious, we sell Zagg InvisibleSHIELD screen protectors at my store. But they're actually glass now. However, we do have another brand called ProtectionPro that is almost identical to this idea, plastic sheets we cut out with a machine and then apply using gel+squeegee. Actually works quite well especially for curved screen phones. Glass protectors for those are completely useless garbage that falls off at the first sign of damage. Then your screen breaks anyway.
Man I remember getting my phone covered with the entire Zagg thing back in the day instead of a case. The one time my parents ever bought a thing from a mall kiosk.
I love the 5 dollar 3gs that I picked up perfect Ipod with a horrible shifty plastic red case that I won't remove till it ages like fine box wine. Always a good video and very entertaining and informative.
I always thought the best way to do it is to give the phone a plastic screen and a factory applied glass screen protector, that way if you crack the glass you might get a little scratch on the plastic but its very unlikely to damage the screen
oh man, I remember when screen protectors were "cut to size". They were literally just a plastic sheet you put on the screen. A secondary plastic layer for scratch protection, and did nothing for impacts. That was until they started to. I remember when the commercials with people dropping handfuls of nuts and bolts onto the screens came about. Ah, good times. I *HATED* these vinyl protectors. If your nail clipped it, you have a permanent mark on the "protector" now. They were also really grippy, which makes sliding in games annoying.
Been following you for a year or so now I’m just realizing you’re just a geeky hoarder; who also happens to be super cool and musician; which is also a summary of my niche kinks.
I’m watching this through a Zagg screen protector with an air bubble I can’t get rid of in the bottom corner. Had to peel it off partially and fish out a dog hair after the first application
My new Oppo Reno 10 has a built in IR blaster, even. And the stock app for it was able to match up with my TV and heat pump just fine. Still a handy feature in current year.
I love this episode, it was actually an inspiration for me to pick up an old iPad 2, jailbreak it, downgrade back to iOS 6, and now i've got my little iOS guy to play all the stuff I can't on Android.
I remember when I got a tempered glass screen protector for my Galaxy S4 off eBay for like $5 how impressed everyone else was with their $40 plastic screen protectors. Felt like the future cause you weren't ruining a 5" AMOLED display with plastic film.
Oh man, those Zagg gel film protectors, we still offer them at work, we even gave lifetime warranty for application issues. They cost twice as much as the other ones we have, and they have their own cutting machine for them. Then, out of the blue, Zagg stopped offering the warranty (we would send the faulty ones back but not anymore) so we replace them with our own. I mean it's all marketing in the end. I haven't seen any difference between Zagg and the Chinesium ones in terms of feel. BUT: the Zagg material is definitely a step above everything else. That material doesn't tear, unlike the chinese ones. It is actually VERY stretchy.
Zagg protectors worked great. Kept my screen from breaking on my phones multiple times. It would break and take the impact before the actual screen broke. Touch screen worked fine on phones at least when I was using them. Use a screen protector now and would use Zagg if there wasn’t some competition selling the same quality cheaper at the moment. The ones for the phone aren’t the plastic ones tho. *they also honor the lifetime warranty.
I remember standing in school with LG nugget while someone ran into my hand so i dropped the phone. It has the screen protector on it (quite thick plastic one) and protector got a crack and there were tiny crack on a side. I agree that having bare screen is nice and stuff, but screen repair nowadays is a nightmare, so in most cases nobody cares. I dropped my Redmi K20 with no protector. I bought another phone but then i wanted to actually repair the old one and there were no genuine screens. So i just bought cheapest IPS i could get for like 20$. It has huge bezels compared to original and also quite dim but it's perfectly usable, my mom daily drives it now.
All the screen protector applications hurt me so much to watch lol I yelled at my screen to clean the ipad screen first and then it got so much worse from there
A year or so ago i worked in a shitty phone stand where they had a ZAGG screen protector cutter machine, and since samsung has a shitty curved screen that cant have glass on it i nicked the highest grade stuff for the front and the back of my phone, honestly no regrets holds on a year or so strong now, since it was my shitty job i knew how to apply it perfectly and i did one hell of a good job on this baby, between this and the otterbox defender my phones built like a tank.
Anyone who was in the military will tell you "military -grade" is not the ringing endorsement that civilian companies think it is.
Shit, I just worked for the VA and I can still vouch. Everything is held together by a ribbon and a prayer.
Yeah, those who frequent military circles will often tell you that "military-grade" usually means "just ever so slightly above bare minimum, to clear approval for mass production."
ltt has a video where they show mil-std-810 h tests, and it is not that intense of a test
are you one of them? if so, thanks for your service
Speaking as someone who has worked with the military, "military grade" just means "its the cheapest thing that requisitions was willing to buy". I'd love to see you look at some of the nuggets I've seen
Idk man, the quarter million dollar F35 pilot helmets look pretty cool.
what do you mean by worked with the military
Just saying for those who might not know. Military grade DOES NOT mean it's good.
It means it ticked all the boxes of testing and was the cheapest option to do so. The epitome of "good enough".
he has autism mate, it's not meant to be funny
military grade is just "eh fuck it good enough" but more elaborate
Exactly. Companies try to make "military grade" sound like a huge deal when in reality military grade means "just good and cheap enough to function" as that's all the military needs.
The v22 osprey is military grade and is unreliable so that says something about military grade
military grade usally means that we saw somebody in an army outfit use it
As someone who has applied hundreds of those Zagg screen protectors, I cannot tell you the level of suffering I felt seeing him slap the thing down onto an absolutely filthy screen.
They're not as clear as the glass protectors but they were genuinely great, a huge step above the normal film protectors. They protected against fingerprints and actually kept the screen looking pristine!

LOVE paper protectors, but if you use an apple pencil they can kinda shred the tips.. very fascinating
You monster
@Forthakine Kinda, but i just find it insane how well it applyd for what he did to it
- @Forthakine, it was pretty good tho for rear protection . I had that for my iPhone X rear glass before I cracked the front screen . 🥴
Honestly! I apply them for customers too
Once I saw Minecraft Lite I knew that iPad was truly "vintage", I don't think most Minecraft players even remember Minecraft Lite anymore, I still remember when it was taken off the app store

So...don't drink the Zagg water?
Used plenty of Zagg protectors on my phones. Never noticed the touch difference and worked great for me.
Back in the early days, these were actually very premium screen protectors. Once glass screen protectors become mainstream. Of course nobody brought them.
Zagg still makes glass ones too.

I actually love Zagg's screen protectors. They're my first purchase whenever I get a new phone.
Fun fact: in some arabic dialects, zagg means sh*t. Which is a great sign of the product's quality.
Installing screen protectors is an art and as a manager at AT&T I find that most people are REALLY awful at this art.
Happy New Years wade !
Thank you for these videos and the work you put on these channels !
Zagg is pretty popular. We had kiosks in the mall for them in Utah. I had them on a couple of my phones before Gorilla Glass became strong enough.
I’m glad that this was the first video I saw in the New Year. You’re awesome Wade, keep us the shenanigans.
WOW nostalgia. This was the first ever screen protector I got back in the day for my ipod touch lol
You reading the invisibleSHIELD's box had me cackling continuously
I remember using zagg's invisible shield for my Sony Ericsson Satio way back in the day. It lasted really long and I was quite happy with it! But it did start collecting dirt along the edges over time, which is a boo.

I don't know about back then, but ZAGG protectors nowadays are actually really good. They even give you a lifetime warranty. As long as it was installed correctly when it was purchased, you could replace it at no cost to you.
Back then they were top of the line too. The plastic screen protectors were the only option back then
Love seeing all of the red bars under every one of these videos, I will happily watch these for the 100th time

Can InvisibleShield protect mommy and me from daddy when he's been drinking? I didn't think so, so you can't protect against EVERYTHING. Yeah, I'd like to get a refund then.
Holy crud thanks for posting it just turned 12 here and needed something to watch. Happy new year
1:08 the language bird stares into my soul
The only real benefit of using the old 'thick' Zagg screen protectors for me, personally, was that era had EVERYTHING slick, including the tops of tables/desks/car dashes/etc, and the back of every Gadget ever. Putting a Zagg on a device meant I could lay it FACE DOWN and it wouldn't slip and slide around everywhere or fall off random things and shatter/explode.

When I was in the army, I put Zagg on everything. Never had a problem and they held up well, even in the desert.
I love the 5 dollar 3gs that I picked up perfect Ipod with a horrible shifty plastic red case that I won't remove till it ages like fine box wine. Always a good video and very entertaining and informative.
I always thought the best way to do it is to give the phone a plastic screen and a factory applied glass screen protector, that way if you crack the glass you might get a little scratch on the plastic but its very unlikely to damage the screen
Students being made to use the old one is so funny I genuinely can’t tell if that’s a punishment or a cool novelty
Im kinda happy the after show is being uploaded been watching for years but never had money to pay for it
this is the first video i'm ever gonna watch in 2024
Oh that shelf dock is amazing. Bring it back. Also aurora feint was the best puzzle game I have ever played.
The apple remote accessory is in such a large package for antitheft purposes. The large packaging makes it harder to hide in your shirt.
oh man, I remember when screen protectors were "cut to size". They were literally just a plastic sheet you put on the screen. A secondary plastic layer for scratch protection, and did nothing for impacts. That was until they started to. I remember when the commercials with people dropping handfuls of nuts and bolts onto the screens came about. Ah, good times. I *HATED* these vinyl protectors.

the boring case was the funniest thing. you can tell no one in the company is excited about what theyre doing
The box on that screen protector looked like something from the 90's.
Zagg was pretty good back in the day. There protectors actually were scratch proof with the original design.
HE STILL HAS MCPE LITE ON THAT IPAD, I HAD ONE OF THOSE SHINY IPHONE CASES ON MY FIRST IPHONE!!!!!!
they made the best screen protectors by far,i still have on my phone
I remember I have a case just like the "Use it" One for my 3G when I was a kid.
Ringing in the new year with a dankpods video I wouldn't have it any other way
I remember when I got a tempered glass screen protector for my Galaxy S4 off eBay for like $5 how impressed everyone else was with their $40 plastic screen protectors. Felt like the future cause you weren't ruining a 5" AMOLED display with plastic film.
“We protect EVERYTHING” 🤣
You can get the old apps working for the remote dongle for example if you jailbreak an old nugget
I really want him to just kit out the iPad with the dumbest accessories that he can find.
dude how nice to have a new years hangover watching dankpods
Oh man, those Zagg gel film protectors, we still offer them at work, we even gave lifetime warranty for application issues. They cost twice as much as the other ones we have, and they have their own cutting machine for them. Then, out of the blue, Zagg stopped offering the warranty (we would send the faulty ones back but not anymore) so we replace them with our own.
