Any reviews for the GODOSMITH Ice Max 3D?

[inpinotveritas]

Welp, Godosmith botched the replacement of the screen. Sent a black 6S screen protector when I clearly ordered and reconfirmed through Amazon messages, a white 6S Plus protector. I'm about to request a refund from Amazon and reorder it since it seems like it would be more effective than getting a replacement.

Edit: Looks I can't do that even. Item stock has turned to "Currently Unavailable". Might be requesting that refund sooner than I thought.

Only if you're willing to wait a month to get it.

Well, I received mine about 10 working days after ordering. Many others staying in different parts of the world had experienced similar delivery time as well. I'm only suggesting the cheapest place to order anyway, not necessarily the fastest =)

 

[inpinotveritas]

Well, it seems Godosmith isn't too interested in receiving the black 6S protector that was sent in error or resolving my issue with adhesion to the iphone screen; they offered a refund of 50%. I'm declining the offer as I would rather send back the defective screen to Amazon for refund and purchase an alternative rather than buy again from international storefronts and have to deal with 2-week minimums to address any defects again. I see tech armor just listed an edge-to-edge privacy screen for the white iphone front, something of interest to me, even if it doesn't curve around the iphone glass the same. Oh well. I can see how it would be a great product when it's functioning well and still recommend it if you're willing to take the time deal with delivery times and customer service if there are any issues.

Just as an update for anyone who cares, Godosmith got back with me and said they would send me a replacement. I have the tracking, etc. already. I'll update again when I get the replacement product (in approximately 3 weeks, most likely).

@willmtaylor I am having problem with my SP now. One bubble at the corner that doesn't go away, likely due to adhesive issue. I raised this up to godosmith, and they are willing to send me a replacement provided I pay the shipping fee of $5. Is this the same for yours?

Has anyone tried this screen protector with a battery case? Like a mophie or the new Apple one?

You mean battery?

 

[Dominick624]

You mean battery?

Oh, yeah, stupid autocorrect. But yeah, I meant battery case.

No worries. I haven't. But I can't imagine they'd be much different.

Came to register to say thanks!
I heard from another forum that people on macrumors have said this particular glass was good but i was still a little skeptical because it was coming from aliexpress rather than amazon.
I just got it today and installed it after steaming up the shower. Took a while to get all the bubbles out but with a little lifting of the edges and massaging them out, it did the job!
I am using a Ringke Fusion case on the iPhone 6s Plus and didn't have much issues. Just beware - due to the tight lip of the case, it may go underneath the glass instead of over it when putting it on.

Glad it worked out. Enjoy.

Had the Godosmith Ice Max 3D for almost 2 months and the coating is wearing off. Finger prints and smudges are starting to show and there are slight scratches across the screen.

I guess it was good while it lasted....

 

[ac921ol]

I've had mine 2 months and might show smudge a tad more, or it could be in my hands are greaser then normal cause I'm always keeping them in my pockets in the cold weather. So more sweat.

Also just got my wife's from aliexpress and install was like the first one (Amazon) all I had to do was readjust a little and boom.

 

[Boardiesboi]

After 3 months of use, my Ice Max has cracked at the top right corner, where I've carelessly shoved top first into my car's glove box.... So devastated... Now I have to go back to flimsy plastic ones

GODOSMITH is now selling the "Ice Core Series 2.5D" screen protector on Amazon. Is this the same thing as the IceMax?

To my understanding, it's not the same. It's not "3D" meaning the edges of the screen protectors don't curve around the edges of the iPhone's glass screen as the Ice Max 3D's do. Hence, the cheaper price.

The Ice Max advertise 3D edges made from "hot bending," whatever that means.

I could be wrong though.

Sounds about right...

 

[easheer]

Just received mine. Install was a breeze and no compatibility issues with my case. I'm happy

 

[bigdog5142]

Ordered on Saturday from AliExpress app and chose the US shipper. Arrived today. Looking forward to installing later.
[doublepost=1452809548][/doublepost]Quick question. It says 3D glass next to the Ice Max name...but then just below it it indicates .19mm thickness and 2.5 D Rounded Edge.

What is it? 3D or 2.5D? Is there a difference?

Thanks. That's what it looks like from the pics, but it's hard to tell.

I went ahead and ordered the 3D from aliexpress. Ordered in the afternoon and received shipping confirmation the same evening, so that's a plus. Hope it works out.

I'm just wondering what to expect! I ordered 3D from Ali...but the wording on the box says BOTH 3D and 2.5D. Weird...

 

[idanny34]

It's 3D. The one I ordered from Amazon had both 3D and 2.5D on the packaging. I'm assuming that it's just a typo.

 

[Marco123]

I received mine last week and can confirm that debris does indeed get underneath this protector.
I took mine off and binned it as dirt that can get under these screens can cause just as much damage as having none fitted.
It does feel nice though.

 

[bigdog5142]

I just installed mine and I have a suspicion that it is actually a 2.5D. There is a definite lip from the protector to the iPhone casing. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be.

For those that have installed this...any tricks to getting the corners to adhere? I got most of the halo out of the protector, but the right side corners both have the halo in the pic. Was thinking about heating it up and pressing on them...suggestions?

This thing is a total PITA to install, but once installed it works pretty good. Don't give up on pressing the air bubbles out. Reapply if you need to. With enough persistence the air bubbles will eventually be gone.

Thanks for the encouragement. If not for those two bubbles, this thing is great!
