Have you ever replaced your glass film regularly?
Many people will replace their glass film after it breaks. If you replace a glass film that isn't broken, it will feel wasteful. Furthermore, some people will continue to use their old phone even if they see small scratches or feel a little less comfortable to touch before getting a new phone.
But did you know that glass film should be replaced regularly in the first place?
This is because wear and tear on the oleophobic layer or even minor scratches can reduce its performance in terms of finger slippage and dirt resistance.
This time, NIMASO will introduce the timing for replacing glass film.
NIMASO Point 1 - When dirt spreads even after wiping with a cloth
If you find that the dirt has spread and you can no longer clean the glass film with a cloth, replace the glass film immediately!!! This is the glass film's signal to replace it!!! This is because the oleophobic layer, which is important for glass films, will not function properly.
The oleophobic layer of the glass film is the key to achieving comfortable finger operation. The oleophobic layer gives the glass film an excellent and comfortable touch. The quality of the oleophobic layer is the most important criterion for judging the quality of the glass film. (Click here to see how NIMASO verified the oleophobic layer with water droplets ~ A detailed explanation of the oleophobic layer)
The oleophobic layer, about a micrometer thick, gradually wears down with daily use. When you touch a new smartphone, it feels very comfortable. The reason is that the smartphone display also has an oleophobic layer. However, just like a glass film, the oleophobic layer on the smartphone display also becomes uncomfortable to touch over time, even if it is not scratched. The solution to this is to apply a glass film!
Therefore, even if you want to use your smartphone without a screen protector, NIMASO recommends a glass film. NIMASO uses a plasma spraying method to coat the surface of the glass film with an oleophobic layer. This allows for a mirror finish, while also allowing it to be attached more evenly to tempered glass and providing better durability. Not only that, but NIMASO's glass film is so thin that you can't even feel it with your fingers! If you want to use your iPhone without a screen protector, or if you're buying an iPhone 14 series (tentative), iPad Pro 2022, or any of Apple's new models, be sure to try out a NIMASO glass film !
NIMASO Point 2: When you find a small scratch and feel that the usability is poor
As mentioned in " NIMASO Trivia: True or False -- Do Keys Scratch Smartphone Displays? ", it is difficult for metal to scratch tempered glass, but sand and gravel can. Even if a glass film does not crack or chip from everyday use, it will have minor scratches when viewed diagonally from the side. In this case, the protective function of the glass film is almost completely lost. Furthermore, because of the scratches, the operation feel is completely different from when it was first applied. To get a better operation feel, it is time to replace it!!
NIMASO Point 3: When transparency decreases
Just between you and me, the adhesive strength of the adhesive on the glass film actually decreases over time. This means that the film can easily peel off, or become cloudy due to dirt or deterioration. Not only will the film's protective properties decrease, but so will its usability. In that case, NIMASO recommends replacing the glass film.
As mentioned above, NIMASO recommends replacing the glass film after one to one and a half years have passed since application!! If you buy a new iPhone every year, you don't need to worry about it, but most people use their smartphone for more than two years. Replace your NIMASO glass film and continue using your smartphone with more ease.
Don't forget. iPads also need to be replaced regularly. You will probably use your iPad for longer than your iPhone. The iPad Pro 2022 is scheduled to be released, but my iPad mini has never cracked and is still useful in my daily life.
