6S/6s+ glass protector discussion [Merged]

To the above poster, it only took a day for me to get the ice max since I ordered from Amazon prime.
Well, I think God was trying to tell me something and I'm not sure if its "leave well enough alone and move on" or "are you nuts spending $40 on a screen protector?!" Either way, I had bad luck installing the ice max. I ended up with dust trapped under the protector despite being super careful and having done this plenty of times; dust to me is worse than not even having a screen protector. In light of that, I scrapped the ice max and installed the daswise I had ordered, but never opened. I got it installed perfectly. My Magpaul field case also works perfectly with it. My phone looks like it has no screen protector at all and I think I'm finally happy. Total cost to me... $26.32, including overnight shipping on the case. Actual cost to me? One pissed off girlfriend with the amount of time I wasted on this nonsense!
My advice to everyone else reading this? If edge to edge isn't important to you, get the Maxboost, it's a great screen protector for $7.99. If edge to edge is important, just get the daswise for $10.99 and save some money, it's near perfect, especially with a case that creates a lip around the screen.
Have fun guys and I hope you don't waste as much time on this as I did!

Thanks for your time and money for the greater good! Based off your input I went with daswise (because e2e matters to me). Thanks again!
Is it just me or is the dust/lint less noticeable along the edges of iPhones with white bezels?
Had an edge to edge screen protector on a silver iPhone 6 Plus for months and wasn't really bothered by the dust/lint along the edges. Currently have a Daswise on a space gray iPhone 6s Plus and the dust/lint seems like it's more noticeable.

Mine will be here next month. The black version is back ordered shipping from China.
I noticed "air strips" under the Daswise glass on the bottom right corner after cleaning the screen w/ a microfiber cloth. I wasn't rough when cleaning it, so I have no idea how air got in. The glass was on for a week or so. After some pressing down it went away, but my question is why would air still be in there?
Only thing I can think of is there was/is still air under the colored part of the glass.

Here are a couple pics of the daswise on my 6s+ with a Speck Candyshell grip. The high edges of the case almost close the entire teeny gap but you can see in the corner photo that it stops just short of touching it which hopefully means the edges of the screen protector won't lift. And the few bubbles I was worried about did actually disappear after a few hours! Pretty happy with it for $10 as long as it holds up!

Zagg support confirmed to me yesterday that they are working on a revision. They are the first company to admit to me that there is even an issue.
Iloome emailed me yesterday to confirm that all of their screen protectors work with the 6S. I then visited their website and see that their product pages don't mention the 6S. I was positive they all included 6S info a couple of days ago.

Funny, I was just on the phone with Zagg yesterday and they denied there was an issue and acted like I was crazy. The support person insisted she had a glass protector on her 6s and that it was fine. After pressing her further, she finally admitted that she's using a film, not a glass protector. She continued to insist my problem was user error though. Quite annoying. I'm glad to hear they're going to deal with the issue as I really like their glass protectors.
I wonder if they didn't update the dimensions just a hair. This thread had reports of issues with the Daswise at the start and now members are reporting, myself included, they work fine. it might just be the luck of the draw as well.
This was the 4th time that I have called/chatted with them in the last 2 weeks. The other calls I was told I may have gotten a bad batch.
The new batch of customers who are calling to complain that it doesn't cover the whole screen don't help our case to be listened.
s+ and I do agree, the white did hide the bubbles it did have during installation. I can confirm though the bubbles are gone now.
I can confirm that the iloome screenmate work with 6s and 6s plus. I currently have it installed on my 6s plus and 3D touch works great!!
Also considering the Daswise on my SG 6s Plus. Has anyone used it with an Air Jacket from Power Support?
Would love to see what it looks like and how much of a gap exists between the edges of the screen protector and the case. Lint and dust in that gap would look bad, especially on a SG phone.

Everything is actually quite centered on mine. I think it's just the angle at which the photo was taken.
Do you have a picture of this protector on your phone? I have purchased 5 of these for family members and all of them have an air bubble line on both edges of the screen. I had to return them all unfortunately.
