I had these for the 5 series, loved them at first but when that oleophobic coating wears off, man oh man... They started producing hairline scratches and got worst over time.
Got a tip for us?

There is some orange peel, however I feel it is negligible enough to only notice if you're looking for it. It has reduced since yesterday when I applied it and should continue to reduce for the next few days. Very small bubbles left over have gone too. Clarity is great (mind you, I'd only had the phone out of the box and powered up just enough to check the screen for defects so I don't really have a benchmark in my head to compare it to).
I think it'll scratch quite easily but if it takes the hit instead of the screen for a few months before needing a replacement that's fine with me. No edge lift (yet) either, though yet again not holding out on that as it isn't wide enough to be concealed by my Spigen Neo Hybrid. Does look sexy in black and red though
Glas.tR Slim
Has the Spigen GLAS.tR SLIM been updated to fit better? The images on their website seem to suggest there isn't as large of a gap. I'm curious how it fits with one of their cases as well.

I loved the Glas.tR on my iphone 5. I don't feel comfortable with a screen film for drop protection.

Can someone tell me, that since screeb protectors currently do not offer edge-to-edge protection, will the unprotected sides (the curved edges) of the iPhone get scratched by time? Or is there a case that wraps around these curved edges and protect them? Thanks.
No. They all suck. The nilkin rip offs from China are tempting but I'm weary of the extra bulk and compatibility with cases. The next gen iloome could be the winner but it won't be available for months.
Thanks for the info. the only one I knew about was some phantom glass thing, even then not many reviews.
I'm in the same boat as you but I am going with the ZAGG Glass... Seems like the best out there (for now) and a professional gets to install it - meaning I don't have to worry about putting it on wrong or it not being aligned.
It's super easy to install with the included tabs that are on the glass itself. Easy to align and install
any1 using the Spartan Tempered Glass Screen Protector from Xtremeguard ... im wondering weather its worth it with the 90% off coupon today

I've been using mine since i got the iPhone, I haven't had any problems yet but I wouldn't say they are one of the better choices to go with. But in all fairness, I really can't tell the difference from their glass SP and the bodyguardz pure I used for 2 years on my 5.
ive ordered one.. i have also ordered a nillkin cp+ 0.3mm (used the amazing h+ before but it doesnt cover that much area, seller also told me to go for Bepak Super H+ Nano Anti Burst Tempered Glass Film instead as it covers more area then the nillkin h+) all three r on order, will take a while to come from china, whats the most liked glass around here, ive seen some people mention the zagg / mime ?? anything else ive missed please let me know. i want to order 1 good set incase im unhappy with the above.. i got the other 2 when the aliexpress sale was going on so i didnt spend alot on all 3

The glass screen protector with transparent sides is really nice to look at but dust will be visible once it entered the gap between the protector and phone which will not be a problem with the one with white frame. Btw, I bought these here in japan, the brand of glass with clear sides is "revolution glass mask" while the other one is "leplus" which i think same as the iloome but this one is more expensive than iloome. Their prices are the same, around ¥4200 or roughly $36. The thickness of the clear one is .23mm but .33mm thickness is also available for this brand. For the one with white frame, only .4mm thickness is available.

I use the JETech, works great and the price worth it. Got it because I saw many good reviews on Amazon.

0.1mm Glass Screen Protector
Just got my iPhone 6 Plus and installed a glass screen protector which I bought from China. Its amazingly thin only 0.1mm but doesn't cover entire screen.
The brand is called Remax. Got it for RMB42 or around $7.50.
Here is a link, I think you can find it on Amazon too.

I didn't try the iCarez glass but did get the 3 pack PET film pack from iCarez. I did get a super install with the first try. What I noticed about this protector is that it did give just a tad more on the sides. All the others were exact with zero room for error. My only complaint was that the feel had major drag. I took care of that with some Granite Gold polish - leaves a super slippery glide.
How was the feel of the glass protector? Did it also extend just a sliver over the sides of the screen?
I ordered one recently. Just received it today with a carbon skin for the back of the phone. Some people on here have said that their screen protectors have come to them cracked but luckily mine didn't. I think Xtremeguard got the message and have changed from sending their glass screen protectors in the mail via envelope to thin cardboard envelopes. So far so good.
I wonder what the percentage of iPhone users who fit screen protectors is, and if the figure is high, I wonder why Apple used curved screens on the iPhone 6? Apple retail stores sell screen protectors for the iPhone 6 so why did they design such an impractical phone? All these screen protectors look rubbish because they can only cover the flat areas of the screen.
The curved screen is nice, I really doubt Apple were thinking a lot about a screen protector while designing it - I guess the reason they sell screen protectors in-store is the same reason they produce cases, for the extra revenue.
Design should be about more than just aesthetics, there should be a practicality element. By focussing purely on aesthetics Apple have produced a phone which has a protruding camera, is prone to bending unless care is shown, and one which it is impossible to fit an 'invisible' screen protector to. Ironically, fitting a screen protector to Apple's aesthetically pleasing design ends up making the phone look terrible.
