6S and 6s+ with Tempered Glass Protector

Applied a spigen glass and it didn't adhere to the sides so I tried again with a second one and it still didn't adhere...returning both to Amazon and getting a cheap three pack of regular screen protectors

May I ask which case you are using for your phone. Sometimes that could be the cause for full screen protectors not installing properly. Any case with a lip can be a problem for full screen protectors.

Same results here too. Good thing they were only $1.80 each. Not a very big loss.
 
US $1.80 for a Spigen Glass Screen Protector? That is way too cheap. Sure it is the original Spigen and not the China copies which are also available?

Its original. It was a slickdeals.com Amazon promo code sale they had a few weeks back. Something like 80% off.

I see. You guys are lucky to get such deals. I am wondering if the seller knew there would be a a problem and hence the sale?

In Hong Kong many shops sell the Spigen Glass Protectors and they install them without any issues.

Which Glass screen protector will work with the apple leather case?
Click to expand...
Any glass screen protect which is not full edge to edge coverage. Most of the iPHone 6 or iPHone 6s glass protectors are now releasing as full screen edge to edge.

This is why I ended up returning my Midnight blue Apple Leather Case as I had bought it to take to another store to install a glass screen protector first. The guy at the store warned me that he had many customers having problems with the Apple leather case and the full screen glass protectors. So I was glad I had not unboxed the Apple leather case. I took it back to the store and exchanged it for a lighting dock in space gray to match my phone.

Thanks - I found out that the new Cinder can work with the leather case and it is edge to edge - I hate the glass screen protector that it's not edge to edge and you can see it sit on your iPhone....

Honestly there is no guarantee that the full screen glass protector can fit well with the Apple leather case.

We all know that Apple leather case is very snug and also it has a lip. Not everyone can install the screen protector 100% the same. Unless you get the full screen protector with 3D curves which basically fits the screen edge to edge.

I can assure you that the Apple leather case will not work with the Full screen protector with the 3D curves. It is not worth taking a risk and ending up regretting using them together.

Has nothing to do with the case. The screen protectors for the iPhone 6/6s don't even go all the way to the edge...there's tons of room between the screen protector and the case lip.
 
So which Edge to Edge is best? 50$ for a protector seems awfully high and with case usability being spotty, not sure what would be best investment
 
I've got the one from Anker. 3D Touch is working fine, but it's not edge to edge, thus a bit ugly when the phone is naked. But most of the time it's in a Speck case.

Has anybody tried a rounded edge to edge protector in combination with a Speck case, for example CandyShell Grip?

This has been addressed in several threads, so look around.

In general though, look for protectors with Corning's gorilla glass or at least tempered glass, and edges that are at least 2.5D, though 3D is the latest and best development. Also, the thinner the better (.-19-.33 mm).
If a protector offers a warranty, it's even better.
 
I believe it is better to spend more for a quality product like the iMos than spending money non several screen protectors in hopes of finding the perfect one.

Spigen runs limited sales all the time on Amazon in the US from 80% off to free to promote positive reviews at Amazon. Or just more reviews to out weigh the negative ones. People look and see 800 reviews with 4 stars and buy the products.

So please point me to a full screen protector that is super thin, Corning gorilla glass, tempered, 3D edges rounded with a warranty please. Such a protector would interfere with the fit of a Spigen Tough Armour case with a substantial wrap around lip to keep the glass off the surface the phone is put down on I would assume. Correct?

I swear by the Benks ultra thin .2. I've installed 2 on 6 Plus phones.

Then I ordered some other cheaper edge to edge glass protectors for my 6S Plus and they were awful. Couldn't get them to adhere properly. So I went back to Benks. Absolutely love this protector. Works with all the slim to medium cases and is just super thin. I think the ultra thinness of this protector helps with it being able to adhere perfectly. The one I currently have on my phone, I had to do three tries due to not having it aligned properly and getting dust underneath. But even with placing 3 times, it adhered perfectly with no bubbles or weird spots.
The Benks also has a great oleo phobic costing and I've not had any chipping of the edges.
