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

The new Zagg HD Glass is too wide, and will hang off the sides. You have to find the old original Zagg Glass protectors, which i found on sale at Amazon. They work great, with a great warranty.

i thought it was just me since this was our first glad protectors.... but i guess it's the product....

ya... LOVE the feel of the glass (the film one on my iPad mini feels sticky now that i've used glass on the phone!) but ha the gray line all around it....

i think i'm going to return them to amazon! since i don't feel they lived up to what they are supposed to be!

now i need to find a replacement!

I guess, Ill go with a generic film protector for the time being:

Used these on my 5s and there are 6 protectors in the box.

Is it even possible to return products like screen protectors to amazon? They are pretty much useless once applied. But it would be great if i could get my 10€ back...

They are in the US if Prime shipped. You just need the mark as defective or not as listed and you get a return label and free shipping

I ordered a Spigen Glas.tR SLIM and tried to properly install it yesterday on my new 6s. I am pretty sure that I did everything right, however the protector doesn't stick to the screen on both sides... The seal is not perfect at all around the edges and on top of this there is a lot of dust sticking to the edges now... The screen was absolutely clean and dust-free (used the supplied and very nice "dust remover").

I'm not happy at all with this look... I guess, if I tried to reapply the glass I would only make things worse. IMO this is a faulty product and I will try to get a replacement (it was 10 € here in germany).

However, I absolutely love the feel of the tempered glass protector - on my 5s and the 4 before that I only used film protectors.

This is too bad, I ordered this exact one this AM on eBay. Guess I'll see when it arrives.

I have had great experiences with Spigen cases in the past, but their glass seems subpar, in my opinion. Last year, their protectors were so narrow that they didn't even cover the LCD portion of the screen completely, and now I've seen numerous reports of gasps and air pockets on edges. I hope they can get it together.

For $11, why not go with the glass Daswise? It looks great.

Thanks for the recommendation. Ordered and got it delivered from Amazon today and I love it.

I've never had a full screen glass protector on my 6 and now my 6S Plus. I'm tempted to try the Daswise, but do full screen protectors work with most cases? Currently I have an Incipio NGP. I don't want the full screen glass to get pushed up because of the case(s). Thx!!
 
Can these tempered glass screen protectors (Daswise or Maxboost) easily be removed at a later time - like a year or two down the road?

And between Daswise and Maxboost, is there a preference?

Thanks.

Michael

Just a short update on my Spigen "Glas.tR SLIM (SGP11588)". I removed it yesterday evening and it left a large amount of residue of the adhesive on my screen - the screen was totally foggy. Whats worse is that it was horribly hard to remove. At first, i used some wet screen cleaner tissues which didnt work at all. Luckily, i still had some TFT cleaning liquid around. After 5 minutes of hard work the screen was fine again... wow.

In short: i cannot recommend this prodcut.

Why did you decide to remove it? (You didn't mention)
 
I just thought i could reapply the protector to fix the seal issues, but after seeing all that residue of the adhesive on the screen i decided to not use it anymore.

Now I'm scared. my Glas.tR slim was just delivered today and now I'm thinking I should send it back. Did you contact Spigen yet about the residue issue?

I'm using the black Phantom Glass edge-to-edge protector (Found it for $25 cad) Got it to use until my cinder arrives. However, it fits perfectly and works well I may just keep it on permanently. I misaligned the install and had to lift and reinstall about 8 times, and yet there are still no bubbles. Very impressed.
 
I also noticed the residue when I removed mine to realign it but keeping it on until I receive my iloome screenmate max protector

Got the Daswise today. Stupid me, I ordered the white one. If anyone wants to buy it from me, pm me. I reordered the black, so I'll have it Thursday. I'm looking forward to it!
