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

pocketdoc said:
I applied a Cinder 6 Plus to my 6S Plus and it fit perfectly. Took a couple of tries, but I got all the bubbles out and for the first time in ages, no dust! I love it. It is like the native screen. So nice to swipe from the edge and feel the smooth curve.

Maybe there is some variation, but I have not personally seen it.

This issue is more related to 6s, not 6s+. There are a bunch of threads across multiple websites that link the issue from the 6 to 6s.

Additionally, the Cinder is an edge-to-edge screen protector. This halo issue is not relevant to the edge-to-edge but to the full case friendly screen protectors, those that cover only the screen.

This is what they sent me as a warranty exchange and a $5.00 upgrade.

Not sure why they would send a squeegee and a bottle along with it.

I contacted Zagg today to get a replacement upgrade as well and they said the Luxe comes out in mid November . I will call them again tomorrow.

Hey guys, new to the Mac Rumors forums but I've been following this thread for a while. Anyway, some bad news. I bought the new Anker protector that's made specifically for the 6s and I'm having the exact same problem as I had with their regular 6 version. It won't seal around any of the edges and leaves a big ugly air bubble the whole way around. At this point, I'm starting to think that not all 6s screens are created equal. What's the likelihood that Anker would field a bunch of complaints, go back to the drawing board and make a version specifically for the 6s, only to have the exact same problem rear its head again? Seems like a stretch. Not sure what to do at this point, except maybe go back to using the Zagg HDX and abandon any hope of finding a glass protector that fits.

EDIT: A link to the 6s version for anyone that's interested: Anker GlassGuard Tempered Glass Screen Protector for iPhone 6s

I'm having the same problem. No screen protectors I've tried currently work and all have the same problem.

How's the HDX anyways?

I suspect Anker might have a problem if the 6S screen is more curved than the 6; I fitted an Anker screen to my 6S and it didn't stick down at the perimeter even though it was central. I suspect the only way to solve this (without making a curved panel) is to reduce the size of the glass, but it already just covers the active screen area so therein lies the problem....
 
Has anyone found one that covers the entire touch screen portion accurately? I know it won't go to the edge but the sides of the touch screen area are so difficult to get fully covered with these narrow screen protectors.

the full screen ones with the white and black areas are also too narrow and take up part of the screen.

I think there is one for the 6S+.

kgenova from YouTube, tech reviewer, recently reviewed one for the 6S+. She has a profile around these forums too.

Yep, there definitely is a Zagg Glass Luxe for the iPhone 6s Plus, because I did indeed review it :) I really liked it--it is very case friendly because it doesn't quite go all the way to the edge. It worked with every case I tried it with. I had the Rose Gold colored frame on mine to match the Rose Gold iPhone 6s Plus and I thought the color match, while not absolutely perfect, was quite good. I did, however, notice a faint white line up each side on the edge of the screen protector where the tempered glass met the rose gold polycarbonate frame. Honestly, it was slight and as it was right next to the colored frame border, it didn't bother me at all.

count me in as well. some say they've been extremely happy with certain ones while others say they're all terrible in their experience and there aren't any that currently work well with the new crop of phones. might just buy something inexpensive and see for myself.

if you want an edge to edge 3D (which is what i think you want),
you'll have to pay a little extra money.

i decided to go for the Godosmith Icemax for around 30$ or even less on Ebay,
and i'm generally pleased.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ice-Max-3D-...hash=item1ea65d6b56:m:mBPdeuQDx2B_QypYflHWnyw

the other brands you mentioned can cost even more (up to 50$).

it's not so easy to install and you'll have to take your time getting the air bubbles out.
so beware and don't blame me afterwards ;)
but if you relax and finish the process it's well worth it.
the Icemax is fine with the Apple leather case from what i read.

if you want a much cheaper edge to edge option, you can get the Daswise for 10$.
the difference is that the edge is not 3D curved to match the exact round shape of the Iphone glass edge.
it will be less curved, but still a good product for 10$ (from what i read).

good luck.

For the people on the fence, I have both the Ice Max 3D installed on my wife's (white) and sons (black) iPhone 6+ and the imos V2 installed on my black iPhone 6+. IMO the imos is a much better product because it's much easier to install, the screen protector to me is of better quality by far. I also find the oleophobic coating is much smoother on the imos and there's a lot less finger prints as well. There was a couple of tiny bubbles on the Imos that took about 10 minutes with medium force in order for them to dissipate. As for the Imax, wholly shi* it took a couple of hours using excessive force with my thumb to remove the bubbles. I have pain in my thumb today that reminds me of the grind. I also had to remove and re apply the Ice max a couple of times for both phones in order for me to get rid of the excess line on one side of the phone that wasn't adhering to the edges. Only issue is the imos V2 is double the price of the Ice Max, but well worth it in my opinion. One last thing, it seems the imos adheres much better around the edges as well. I'm in no way affiliated with either of these companies and is my honest opinion.

Hope this helps people a little trying to decide

It's been a full month since I ordered my Ice Max from Aliexpress. It still hasn't arrived. I should've known better, now I have a scratch already :(

yes, you should have put a cheap SP for the meantime.
i got a scratch after a few days.
the bad news is that after you put the IceMax it makes the scratch more visible,
so now the phone looks perfect besides an ugly scratch that pops out like a sore thumb.
 
Finally got my Ice Max a few days ago. Looks great IMO. I got one tiny spec on the bottom and it's testing my OCD right now. So far, it's not that much of an issue. Great glass protector. My apple leather case fits it perfect.

I've given up. Going commando. I thought I was able to get my Ice Max to work but after 1 day it started coming back up and the halo returned. I'm done.
