Liquipel Skins: Protects smartphones from hammers as well as water!
Liquipel, the company behind the “Watersafe” technology for mobile devices has announced a new technology called Skins, a new high-impact film that not only protects smartphones from scratches but also from physical blows with its unique ability to dissipate the force that leads to so many shattered screens.
Liquipel Skins are created in a four-layer process and act as literal shock absorbers for smartphones while also maintaining a smooth, glass-like surface. The film itself is a hybrid of many of the best components found within other protective materials. The top layer is an incredibly durable polyurethane that stems from military uses. To complement the abrasion resistance, there is another layer that adds the strength and rigidity necessary to keep corners from peeling.
According to Liquipel, installation is an easy three-step process thanks to a new formulation of silicone adhesive that eliminates the need for any solutions found with older-style films. Many screen protectors on the market require spray bottles and squeegees to be applied to devices. Skins make it easier for consumers by offering a tool-free, 100 percent dry installation-no spray bottles, no squeegees, no bubbles and no hassles. The adhesive is so advanced that it does most of the work for users during the application process.
Pricing and Availability
The full-body coverage Skins are currently available online at Liquipel's website for both the iPhone 4S and 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S4 for $15 (almost Php700), while the Liquipel's watersafe technology treatment costs $60 (around Php2,600). Local pricing and availability is not yet announced.
