1
So what I got here is a Spigen screen protector for the Pixel 9a, which I just received and put in this wonderful Spigen case.
2
Actually, I've been using screen protectors of this brand for all of my phones
3
and my family smartphones for a few years already, and I find them pretty easy to install and pretty nice to use.
4
And you're getting two of them, and i think that this time is different
5
because previously they had like an orange frame
6
which you had to put on the phone
7
and then you put on the glass but i guess this time it's even easier
8
in case anything goes wrong we have the spatula
9
which allows to push out air from behind the glass
10
so here they offer two wipes okay very good i don't mind
11
it i will use it although my phone is new
12
but i didn't mind it to be clean before applying the screen protector
13
and we have this nice cloth you're getting actually two glasses for like 20 years on amazon
14
or 20 20 something years on amazon
15
which is pretty good
16
i will leave in the description the link to this particular glass on Amazon and
17
now the moment of truth
18
okay press slide and wait 30 seconds that's exactly what i'm going to do in here
19
okay i think 30 seconds uh have passed and the whoa yeah anything that i have to to remove pressure and slide.
20
Okay, remove starting from here.
21
So what do we have?
22
This is the actual result.
23
This is pretty good.
24
So I see the air just in a few spots like here
25
and here and here
26
and this is very easy to remove yeah I think I'm done with removing the air from it
27
so it's perfectly fine it looks perfect actually the positioning of the glass is great it's not touching the edge
28
so if you're using the phone caseless you can just swipe from the left edge left edge
29
and it doesn't bother you yeah the quality of the glass like
30
when you touch it it's as smooth as the original screen of the pixel 9a maybe even smoother
31
i don't know and i think that uh it lasts long
32
because on my old pixel 6a i also have this kind of screen protector from the same spision brand
33
and the same type
34
and it still feels good like it doesn't feel like a window glass
35
you know it feels like it has an allophobic coating to it
36
and now let's see if my spigeon case pushes this glass out
37
or not i mean it comes from the same brand
38
and this phone has pretty thick bezels so it should be fine
39
and yeah it is fine a perfect set
40
so yeah i can truly recommend
41
this pigeon sprint protector anybody who even doesn't have experience in
42
applying those screen protectors can apply one to their phone
43
and i think this is just a great way to protect your screen
44
because the screen of the smartphone is usually way more expensive than the glass screen protector
45
and you don't really notice it i mean it weighs barely nothing
46
it doesn't stick out anywhere like you don't even see it you don't you can't even tell the difference
47
if it's there or not especially with the case on so yeah i highly recommend it and And thanks for watching.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
