Looking for the same thing.. The last time I tried an E2E glass protector (ICE MAX 3D) a bunch of dust got underneath along the sides.
I concur...I had an ice max, and just took off my iMOS with a lot of dust accruing along the sides. I feel as though it can't be THAT hard to put adhesive on the sides.
The Godosmith 3D is one of the best screen protectors I have ever used
My 6s was replaced under warranty. I
Transfered the old screen protector over to the replacement phone
After about 5 attempts, fitting and removing the screen I got the fit perfect
No air bubbles , the trick I found is that the screen protector must be fitted slightly off centre to the right of the earpiece.
Couldn't be happier

Can you comment on the thickness?
Multiple people saying it feels thicker than advertised at 0.19mm.
Thanks! Would you mind snapping a quick picture so I can see the home button recess?
Unfortunately I don't have another device to take a pic
Bear in mind, my protector is about 7 months old , there might have been changes made since then
Thanks. I didn't know anker did a full cover protector. Will check it out.
I like Anker stuff. I'm using their non edge to edge SP for about six months now and it seems to be holding up pretty good.
I went ahead and acted on the Kyasi 3D Curved Tempered Glass. I was planning on getting the Ice Max 3D, which I had previously but dust accumulated along the edges since there was no adhesive, only on the top and bottom.
It works with my Rhinoshield CrashGuard Bumper whose lip goes over the curved glass. The top right and bottom right corners started to lift when I put the bumper on, but I managed to massage it out.
The trick was to put the bumper on immediately after putting on the glass protector. This is when the adhesive is still strong and by putting the bumper on asap, the adhesive will stick to the glass more easily then if you were to wait a couple hours later or the next day.

Why is everything always more expensive in the UK. It's £18 here ($25).
The daswise is half the price. Hmmm will look at reviews for both.
For whatever reason, Anker has pulled their newer version full-coverage glass protector for the 6S+ (though also backward compatible with the 6+). The site returns a 404, and Amazon's US store says it's unavailable.
The older version for the 6+ has been, and still is available for $20.
I have the newer one on my 6+, and it's ok. It's actually the 2nd one because I replaced the original with a warranty replacement due to dust infiltration of the forward sensors. The adhesive doesn't fully enclose that area, which allows dust to penetrate. I applied a bit of clear caulking under the edge to seal that area on the replacement, and it has been successful.
Maybe they're preparing yet another new version.

Mind posting some pics? Would love to see how noticeable it is on a SG iPhone..
I can't stand when these non-E2E screen protectors cut up the all-black face, but the E2E ones are too thick and/or bad quality.

Hey all. I'm tired of wasting my money on Amazon ordering screen protectors and then not liking them.
I am looking for a PRIVACY screen protector that's not dark as a black hole in the sun. Right now all of these privacy tempered glass screen protectors seem to have a tint on them and are very dark to read. I have to have my brightness up 100% to read, which kills my battery. Are there any privacy ones out there with no tint?

I purchased two of those IceMax Screen protectors. One for my 6s plus and the other for our 6. I never even opened the 6 one after trying to install the 6s plus one. Worse piece of crap protector I have ever bought. I have had other glass ones, and this was the worse. Had constant bubble/air issues. I would push it out, and it comes back. The screen also wanted to move around on the phone a little if you pressed too hard. Will definitely not recommend this one. The hunt begins again. Here is a link to the one I got that was bad.

[doublepost=1466816694][/doublepost]Same exact problem. Mine was even worse than yours. Wish I saw this before ordering them.
Amazon return at least is good. Ugh. Now to try and find a good one.
I ordered a few of these. Hope it's better than the IceMax crap.

I have also ordered the Manto Tempered Glass Screen Protector with Easy Align Frame for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. Looks very promising.
Hey all, need an SP recommendation for an E2E for my 6s. I currently use the Daswise and like it, especially since it works well with my Apple leather case. However, I'm going 'naked' for a while, and without a case, the relatively 'sharp' edges of the Daswise are not ideal. Any recommendations for one with smoother edges, in the $10 range?
Curious to hear your experience with the new one you chose. Granted, Godosmith is a monster to apply, but I find if you get it, it works brilliantly. I haven't found anything else I like nearly as much for my 6s.

Just installed one of the Mantos. Very Very impressed with how it installed. It worked perfectly installing it on my phone. The adapter you place over it centers it correctly and makes it a breeze. I honestly didn't even have to push down at all for any air. The adhesive did all the work! Completely different compared to the other one. This is how my experience is with others. The IceMax is junk, do not waste your money on it. Also, this one works great with my spigen case. Here is a picture.
It's interesting... I just feel like there's a big edge that could collect dust. I'll be curious to see how it goes over time.Just installed one of the Mantos.
