ok... thanx!

one more question before I order it for hubby's phone...

he has a wallet case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014Y6DNH2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00 for it... I did see a few reviews on amazon that said it was thin an broke easily.... do any of you that have it think it will be a problem that when the wallet is closed and pressed against the phone with cards that it will break the glass just from daily/regular use?

(currently the defective spigen is on there with no issues... but wanted to ask!)

Glass protectors of this nature aren't generally broken from blunt pressure or strikes against the glass (demos frequently show units being hit by hammers, etc.). They generally break when dropped on edges or when twisted/sharply folded. This isn't a guarantee, of course, but what I've generally seen to be true. Nice wallet case BTW.

Didn't feel like waiting for a replacement Cinder so I bought the ice max 3D. Won't be here till Monday but I'll let you all know how it is.

ok... thanx... i'll order it for him!!

ya... the case is really nice for the price! he likes that he can detach the phone if he wants (if he's going to be on a long conversation.) the binding is wide enough that he has several cards in it and it still closes! it's not leather... but it's a good way to decide if he'll be happy with a wallet case for the long haul!

These still won't adhere on the sides and top and bottom. Look at the pictures in the recent reviews and you will see what they do

So up to 5 pages an no one has a picture of a non edge to edge glass fitting a 6S.

Seems like the Space gray is the most popular or the one with the most issues.

Every brand I can think of now has pictures of this on Amazon in the reviews.

we've been talking about it on the forum (not sure which thread) but it is NOT good! a LOT of people on here (and in amazon reviews) are complaining about it lifting. all four edges on both my 6s+ and hubby's 6s are lifted. I initiated a return to them at amazon for them being defective.

Currently using my second Spigen Glas.tr Slim that I just installed yesterday. No issues with the this one. Only issue I had with the first one was some chipping around the edges. I'll try to take some pictures later tonight after work.

I just received my Ice Max 3D for my 6S and it fits perfectly. The cutout for the speaker is pretty good and the .19mm thickness is great.

Do you think a TPU case like the Spigen Liquid Capsule would cause issues on it?
 
Got my Daswise today... Looks great and fits well with my awesome Carved case.

I do have a small bubble along the edge on the right... Hopefully that goes away.

I already see a little line on the left side of my Dawise that looks like a crack forming. It's about halfway down the left side edge of my 6s+. Grrr...... It didn't even last one day of normal everyday office use.
 
well dang.... i just ordered a dawise today for hubby's phone.... and now all these bad reports!!
 
Good news is that my small bubble went away on my dawise.

Bad news is that the edges attracts dust like crazy - below are 3 pics as I tried to get pics of the dust.

The edges are not flat on the screen and has a slight overhang (for lack of a better word). The overhang piece seems to collect a lot of a dust (and I only had it on for 2 days!).

I tried to compress air the dust, tried using a piece of paper to try and push the duct out and nothing. Whatever causes the static cling to the screen is apparently on the overhang piece too.

Anyone else exp this?

These reports of overhanging edges and cracks and dust are why folks recommended getting newer protectors with 3D edges instead of 2.5D edges.
