I'm not sure what you're looking at, but there's no bubblesBut i seem to see several bubbles on last two photos?
While they do cover the screen brilliantly and for thinness and fit they're one of the best I've found, I think I'd avoid them. I've just discovered when fitting a new protector (I don't destroy them, I just test a lot of them) that the metal portion of the protector doesn't adhere to the screen in any way, so dirt builds up beneath it. Even though mine hadn't been anywhere dirtier than my pocket, it had managed to collect enough debris under it that I think it just defeats the purpose. Shame really as otherwise I liked this one.
I will order because price is 7$:

I've actually just today been sent a different one to test. It's basically the same design but this one looks like it might also seal at least most of the metal portion of the protector as well. So it might offer better debris protection.
I'm going to fit it tomorrow and see what it's like, just if you wanted to hold off for the results in case it's better.

Just to update, the second screen protector doesn't seem to offer anything that the first one didn't sadly. There's still scope for debris getting under there. So if you still want to get the first one, it's the better of the two aesthetically.
One last thing which I don't remember if I said before. These screen protectors, because they curve right round the side have real issues with cases. I've tried the official Apple leather case and a few generic ones and all but the Spigen Air Skin caused the screen protector to be pushed up and off the screen. (Even the Spigen one required fitting the protector with mm precision accuracy to work.)
Thank you. I will give a try. Maybe I'll be lucky with my Spigen cover
.I try to order but they don't have black one anymore.

That's my favorite, too. And it's cake through Amazon, so it's even better now...

Yes, but it's very case picky. I'm currently using the non E-2-E one from Anker and it's been great for $5.99.
Ugh, I hate the non-edge-to-edge protectors. I know they're the most popular, but they look so awful cutting up the screen and everyone I've ever encountered inhibits swiping and arranging icons. I don't know how people put up with them.
I got the apple store protector on april 15th, the one they put on with a machine. and today april 28 it came off in my pokcet.
Im currently depending on a ride to get places and the nearest apple store is 45mins away.
Pissed off i have to get a ride all the way over there to see if maybe theyll replace it.

Don't bother with DB Power ones.
It is great in the fit around the edge of the screen and the thinnest is great.
But it has big problems. Some parts dont stick in the corner.
The visible screen is slightly less than the iphone screen. Even when perfectly applied you will notice the black edge slightly covers the screen more than it should.
And as some other reviews this screen protector causes phantom taps on the screen. Many times my phone has gone mad with seemingly random taps that all on its own starts playing havoc on the screen.

They replaced it for me, but said it was a one time deal. Apple guy himself didnt know how/why it came off. He applied the new one by hand, overheard him tell another employee he didnt like the belkin machine. Didnt bother me as long as he put it on right.
Got home before i noticed he left some mini hair or fuzz thing under so im going to atttempt to remove it in the morning.
Takeaways:
The product quality is okay, doesny feel the best.
At $35 its expensive, and came off.
Apple reps make u feel like theyre doing u a favor, even if you drove 45mins.
If this thing comes off again im just trashing it, not worth the gas and time. My previous protectors have been all verzion tempered glass (galaxy s5 and note 5) that were way better at a cheaper price. Not to mention quicker of a drive
I had a Verizon tempered glass protector on my 6+ and absolutely loved it! I bought a cheap one through Groupon for my 6s+ and it served its general purpose but I took it off last night, I got a Lifeproof Nuud case for my phone and could not get a proper seal with that cheap glass protector. I might go back to Verizon and see what they say since they sell the Lifeproof cases. They always push the protectors but I'm wondering if they'll do the same with this case which says not to use with a protector at all. I'm just curious because I've never left my screen naked so I'm a little nervous about scratches and cracks.
