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

So far we know that CIDNER and Imos are good (but expensive, to some) options.

Others have mentioned B-noble and Godosmith Ice Max from Amazon/Aliexpress, etc. I have read that the Ice Max is just like the CIDNER, but have yet to see a full review on here. Hoping those who have purchased either one will chime in because I need a 2nd and am not willing to deal with CINDER's issues.

What exactly is a 3D edge and do any glass protectors have that yet for the iPhone 6S?

I bought the maxboost protector some had mentioned on here. I placed it on my phone for sizing and just stopped at that point. It's one of the ones that is exactly as wide as the screen. I think having that would drive me nuts. I am using an apple silicone Case.

I'm thinking of giving the Daswise a try but I wish they had a clear option rather than the white or black to match your phone. Does that "fake" colored front bother anyone?

Since I have a case that wraps around the edges, I would ideally like a glass screen protector that simply goes just a little past the active part of the screen. I guess right before it curves. Are any out there like that yet?

"Hot bending" "3D edge" means that the glass protector has edges made of glass (not plastic or metal) the are curved to cover the curved contours of the iPhone 6 and 6S's. They completely cover the glass. The 2.5D edges more or less tapered and overhung the edge of the glass, usually leaving a small overhang. These protectors were/are prone to lint & dirt buildup under the overhand and are also prone to chipping and breaking, as unsupport d glass typically is.

I was worried about the colored fronts on the daswise too but to be honest I can't even tell the difference, it pretty much looks the same to me (I have white btw). It also seems to be the size you are looking for. It doesn't quite go to the edge so there's room for a low profile case. Hope this helps you. I can try to post a pic later. :)
 
Very impressed with my Daswise after one week. Have a cinder coming at some point but sticking with this as long as it still works.
 
I installed a spigen glas.tr slim yesterday. Although it doesn't fit 100% I had no problem with the install and see no lifting edges. 3d touch works flawlessly!

Here's mine with the daswise

I ordered a Spigen Glas.tR SLIM and tried to properly install it yesterday on my new 6s. I am pretty sure that I did everything right, however the protector doesn't stick to the screen on both sides... The seal is not perfect at all around the edges and on top of this there is a lot of dust sticking to the edges now... The screen was absolutely clean and dust-free (used the supplied and very nice "dust remover").

I'm not happy at all with this look... I guess, if I tried to reapply the glass I would only make things worse. IMO this is a faulty product and I will try to get a replacement (it was 10 € here in germany).

However, I absolutely love the feel of the tempered glass protector - on my 5s and the 4 before that I only used film protectors.

I'm having the same issue. Did it go away after a few days?
 
My Godosmith Ice Max 3D just came in (Amazon estimated Monday delivery, got it on a Sunday, nice surprise when I got home). Installed it perfectly, no air bubble strip that won't go away like on my cinder, so the adhesive seems to be good. Can't tell a difference between the two either... the protector even came on a hard plastic backing like the Cinder. So thumbs up to the Ice Max 3D.

I noticed the thinner, the better the fit. I might actually get that one for mine, but hope the price comes down first.

What did you end up paying for your Ice Max? I tried looking for some coupons on the app you mentioned but can't seem to find any!

$26.67 each. I bought two of them.

They're actually even cheaper now. They're currently $25.50 each, and you can get $3 off your first purchase via the app.

i cracked mine when I tried to take it off the plastic backing. Any tips on how to remove it safely?
 
For those who got the spigen tr glas slim

What exactly is the issue? Mine shipped before I could cancel it so I'm just going to use it

Whoa. That looks nice.

Do you think it'd fit with an Apple leather case?

Not sure, I've never used one. I can say for sure it works with the Magpul Field Case I have. I imagine it has similar compatibility to the Cinder, which they say supports the leather Apple case.
