Machine? Really? Is it free to ask them to install the screen protector using it?
Edit: Nevermind I just saw the article about Belkin. $35 hmm I wonder if this would solve the halo effect for the 6S.

With the Belkin glass they say they have replacement lifetime warranty for scratch/breakage. I wonder if Apple will install the replacement. If I were looking for a non full size glass or if the IceMax I just put on starts to lift with my Monoprice bumper, I would give it a try.
(Disclaimer - No pictures till tomorrow, I'm tired and lazy tonight.)
So, I decided to bite the bullet and go into the Apple Store to give this Belkin Screen Protector a try. I wasn't seeing enough people posting experiences, so I said what the hell. Anyway, I walked in and as usual was greeted by the door employee. I asked for a Belkin SP and she kindly paged for someone who had been doing them that day. After chit chatting, only handful of them had actually done it, but it was gaining a ton of steam after only being in-store for 2 days.
Eventually, one of the employees came out and walked me over to one the tables. Awesome enough, they already had the kit out on the table and they were already installing other screen protectors for people. I watched 2 glass installs and 1 anti-glare. All of them, perfection. Zero issues.
I asked for glass and they went through the same procedure you've seen in the videos. A handful of Apple employees were also watching so everyone could shadow/train a bit. Everyone was absolutely loving how easy it was. It sure gained a lot of attention, the little machine and how amazing it was at lining it all up and applying.
My glass was installed, again, perfection. Zero dust, perfect installation. I was VERY impressed. No halo issues either. As far as the SP goes, i'll need some more time to put it through the ringer. But, after 10+ hours of use, I'm actually very happy with it. It's incredibly thin, probably one of the thinnest I've seen in glass. It does seem to have an Oleo coating on it. Fingerprints have been VERY minimal. I read somewhere that someone had dust collecting around the edges, but this hasn't happened on mine...still looks super clean. Cutouts are very tight and precise.
All in all. Great experience. This is going to make a LOT of money for Belkin and I'm sure Apple.

I think its a little bit of the angle. When you look straight down on the screen, its like...hairline perfect. But, if you tilt it a little, you see the black part of the screen a little bit. I think these screens were sized to prevent haloing. It's obviously no E2E though. Not causing any issues during use though. It's simply what we have to deal with due to the curved screen.
Thanks for the pics! They look great.
Now if only someone can put up a 6S Space Grey pic with the Belkin applied, to see if there's really no halo. Might prolly swing by the store this weekend to check.
I REALLY doubt this protector will show a halo on any device. They obviously went as narrow as can be to be sure it didn't cause issues in-store. I say go for it!
Looks great but it seems mighty short on all sides

I have one called nuglas that I purchased from eBay. I took it off 3 times had a hard time trying to get the alignment perfect due to my shaky hands. But even after that no lifting of any edges and sits perfect. Looks very similar to the Belkin one posted previously.
Got it in today and it did not work out well. The entire right side of the screen protector would not adhere to my phone, just like in this video:
Tried taking it off and readjusting it about 10 times thinking maybe the design was just slightly off, but if I could get the right to stick then the left was the same, completely not sticking. Sending it in for a refund and avoiding all Godosmith products. I might try the Thanotech E2E protector.
Went into Apple yesterday and had them install the Belkin Invisiglass on my 6s. I kind of figured that there would have been other people getting it done or atleast like a station for it but there was not and they had to go to the back to get the installation device, so they dont really advertise it much lol The employee that did the install wasnt very experienced in doing it so it took him a little bit to do it, but the install came out perfect. Absolute zero halo effect and very thin. Very satisfied. I know its not edge to edge but that is not necessity for me.
Got my belkin applied today in Apple Store Belfast on my 6s Plus, it really is mm perfect application. I was amazed.
my friend is the distributor of iMos in Indonesia
and i've been using iMos since i get my 6s plus,
it's the best i've seen, i've dropped my phone from table top to marble floor and no scratches were found,
and the oleophobic coating in the iMos is very very good, after 3 months its still very smooth, i feel that's it's even smoother compared to iphone naked screen.
here's some photo's of my friend's customer phone with iMos installed.
-iPhone 6s Plus Space Grey naked with iMos.
-iPhone 6s Plus with iMos + Apple leather saddle brown
-iPhone 6 Plus with iMos + Draco Venano
they all play nicely and compatible.
i really reccomend this iMos V2, this is the best tempered glass protector for iPhone 6 series that i've ever tried,
the only downside is some cases compatibility, the high price tag, but other than that , this iMos is very very recomended,
my friend is the authorized reseller of iMos in Indonesia
so if you are from Indonesia, Singapore, or somewhere nearby, maybe i can help you with iMos, thank you.
