    I purchased mine on Amazon for $32.xx for a 6s.

    I did chat with Amazon and I sent them the aloe press link and they gave me $8.07 credit. I asked for a solid $10 credit and she gave me that.

    Just an update on my own challenge with the IceMax 3D on the iPhone 6s. Experience was similar to @ac921ol

    To all those who told me to "coerce" the bubbles out, or who mentioned that they lifted their IceMax 3D and tried again - THANK YOU.

    I was super unhappy with how mine looked and couldn't get rid of bubbles - seemingly no matter what. Since I hated how it looked, I figured, "What do I have to lose from lifting it and attempting to reapply?"

    Well - it's awesome.

    Here are some pictures from what happened:

    First try - AWFUL
    first try.jpg
    When I reapplied the IceMax 3D, I had these bubbles down the side, but they were MUCH smaller!

    I thought I would try putting it in my case - and doing so carefully - it seemed to HELP to reduce the bubbles!!!
    with case 1.jpg
    The bubbles actually continue to work themselves out/disappear, and I am relatively happy with the result.
    with case 2.jpg


    My concern - I don't understand why it's so hard/finicky!!! But a good application on an iPhone 6s CAN be done.

    While I believe I already know the answer, I'm going to ask it anyway, and apologies for piggybacking this off of the thread, but this seems to be the only active place to ask.

    For those that went with Daswise, or even the Ice Max or Cinder, do those go truly from edge to edge? What I mean is, do they go all the way down to the edge where the colour of the phone begins (read: Space Gray, Gold, etc.)?

    If so, the question I have, while odd, is how much would you think the face of the phone would bleed? In other words, if it goes all the way to the sides, would a white face bleed through, say, a black Daswise? I ask, because if it wouldn't, I'm half tempted to swap out my 6S Space Gray for a Gold (I have another small issue, possibly iOS related which I'm taking it in anyway), as black and gold look really sleek, but there is that stark adjustment to loss of fluidity on the screen. Looking at some of the side-on shots, it doesn't appear that they do, but if on the long chance that something like the Daswise or the Ice Max restores that, that would be nice.

    Any ideas, anyone?

    BL.

    Seems like the sides are still not sticking properly. Looks much better though.

    I'm OCD about this stuff, so lil things like this bother me.

    by the looks of it, it seems to be rather tough to make it bubble free :(

    didn't realize it can be so tough.. unless some of you might be doing it wrong?

    Not sure why many users are having such mixed results. I was able to get my Ice Max onto my 6S on the first try with an almost, 99.99% bubble free and I cannot install S/P's at all. Maybe our iPhone screens are slightly different?

    i guess it's very subjective to who's doing it..
    the level of pressure one has in his touch,
    the level of confidence while doing it..
    i dunno..
    i don't want any bubble!
    why should there even be bubbles if it's flat glass?

    The Daswise does not go fully edge-to-edge. There is a very slim, probably .2mm to .3mm (I'm guessing) gap where it lets an iPhone cases's edge grab onto the phone. When fitted on my Spigen Tough Armor for the iPhone 6s Plus, the case edges are almost flush w/ the edges of the Daswise.

    Thanks for checking this. That's kind of what I was thinking.

    The case I would be using this on would be TwelveSouth's BookBook case for the 6s; more importantly, the soft shell that the phone would fit in that goes with the case. Seeing that the bottom, the power button, volume buttons and the top would be the only portions visible in the shell, that gap would be visible, making it look slightly off, where you could tell there is a protector over it. That would look a little bit tacky.

    I think I'll stick with Space Gray.

    Oh I am SUPER OCD. But what's been good is that the smaller bubbles are still continuing to work themselves out. I wouldn't tolerate it otherwise. I would have straight up ripped this thing off. It's really quite nice.

    Spigen ultra hybrid air cushion in rose pink, along with a daswise screen protector. Looks pretty good on my fiancé's 6s!

    You guys with the bubbles try to use a hair dryer at low heat? I'm pretty sure that would solve the problem.

    Also I'm sure most of you who had screen protectors in the past had issues with the screen protector being scratched. Have you guys heard of this before?

    I just got my IceMax 3D from Aliexpress and love it so far! I have had the same problems as everyone here and almost quit re-applying and asked for a refund. I tried another round, this time, I made sure sides adhere flat first before I work on the middle part bubbles, if there are bubbles on the side, I would re-apply until all are gone and the middle bubbles are left.

    It is tedious to get the bubble free installation but it is possible and I don't think it's an adhesive issue if you get the bubble, you just have to re-apply properly.

    It's straightforward and is the same as with any screen protector. Just focus on the 4 sides first, most bubbles occur on the sides I believe. Once you clear the bubbles on the four sides, then the middle bubbles are easy. If upon application, you get the long side bubbles as posted in the latter part of this thread, remove and re-apply, no matter how hard I pressed, I did not get rid of it. When you re-apply and the sides stick almost smoothly and after soft pressing of the small side bubbles, you are left with middle bubbles, then you are good to go.

    Fwiw, this method worked for me I'm not sure it would work for you.

    So I have decided that I have come to an impass with myself. I am just too damn OCD. I can't stand micro-scratches, but I also can't stand lint/ dust under my screen protector. Even if it doesn't really show itself unless I'm looking for it. I have applied a daswise perfectly from an alignment perspective, but there are 4 or 5 sued tiny peices of dust after a ridiculously thorough inspection. I'm just gonna leave it. I know it's protecting and o can't even see any of the dust while I type this post.
