i'd generally agree with all of this. i thought the matte screen protector from BSE was like most other matte screen protectors. maybe just a hair worse, but mostly the same. i removed mine as well and put their glossy screen protector on instead and i'm happier with that overall.
Got a tip for us?

Was hoping that wasn't the case. Been using an anti-glare power support screen protector, and it has a perfect matte effect. Wanted the BSE matte one because it covered the whole screen, unlike power support.

only really interested in the the back for added grip does the BSE fit the back good and does it give some grip?
I've had the BSE Matte installed on the back of my 6 Plus for 4 days now. First off, the installation took a long time and was not easy by any means. It took about 1.5 hrs for everything to adhere properly, so I was patient and eventually the finished product looks perfect. Love the matte look.
I haven't tried the screen protector, and probably won't.
Overall, has it improved the grip? Not really. It's about the same but it's not a problem for me. I think the gloss one might improve the grip.
Two thumbs up on the matte back protection.

thanks but it's not working.
I just ordered about five minutes ago and the code worked for me.
Looks like it's not valid anymore. Wonder if it was a one-time use and I used it before you guys got to it. Sorry.
yeah, probably a randomly generated code and everyone on the email list gets a different code which has only one use. good thing i wasn't planning on buying anything from them in the next month
In my opinion I would say yeah, I used it with just the BSE skin for about 3 weeks and was quite satisfied with it then I took it off because I wanted to try a few thin clear cases and I found some cheap one off eBay and it is as thin as a BSE skin, adds grip and I can take it off easily unlike skins. Happy so far with this cheapo case.
The case optimized fronts are basically how all the normal film screen protectors are. They will only cover the flat part of the face of the phone. Most people buy the BSE to cover edge to edge with the normal version. You should not have any problems fitting it inside the apple leather case if you align it properly. Otherwise the case will cause the skin to lift in certain areas so it's crucial to be precise with the application
I don't think that should be a problem. I have install BSE on previous devices including my Macbook Air 3 years ago and it hasn't even begin to peel. I think the concern would be it may move if it is not completely dried. But I never waited the time required
You probably had to much soap in your solution. I had some small soap bubbles but they all disappeared after about 36 hours.
Got and installed it today on my 6+. So far, it looks good. Took a while to get the sides to stick.
I've been using BSE since iPhone 3 I believe. Currently I have the gloss on the back and matte on the front of my space gray plus. I love the feel of the matte screen protector but I feel like I'm missing out on the awesome retina display. The gloss back makes the plus a lot easier to hold on to and currently I have an apple silicone case with the BSE.
Regarding install, I guess for me it wasn't tough at all maybe because I install window tint and clear paint protection film on vehicles and its a similar process. I will say to use a hairdryer to speed the installation process up.

A little update, my Apple silicone case that I put on yesterday isn't working to well with the bottom of the BSE. So I carefully removed the silicone case (which was very hard to do without damaging the BSE) and now the bottom two corners of the BSE are not looking too good. The silicone case is just too tight to work with the BSE. Lesson learned.
I do have a question. I am going to order another set for my plus from BSE, but what is the difference between the regular and 'case optimized' for the front and back? Does the non-case optimized screen protector cover all the way to the edge (including the curved part)? What exactly is the difference in the body 'case optimized' skin?

Case optimized stops before the edges. The non optimized version does wrap around the curved edges pretty well with a good straight install. Mine is non-case and it comes pretty close to touching the front edge from the wraparound side.
