Anyone try Best Skins Ever on the iPhone 6 yet? pic pls!

Interested in case suggestions as well for use with BSE. I have used them in the past, and for the first time, I had issues after install. I applied the skin to my front and it seemed to cure perfectly. But days later after inserting it into a case from Keycase:

http://www.amazon.com/iPhone-Case-KAYSCASE-Lifetime-Warranty/dp/B00FVSNWUQ/ref=cm_sw_em_r_dp_PbUmub1EEMNAH_tt

It has been peeling at the top corners; bubbling from just underneath the case edges. :(

The case doesn't come that far off the edges but I have to believe the case is too/hard and is causing the issue.

Granted this is not a "case optimized skin", but I do like the "full screen skin". Any recommendations?

I couldn't decide and ordered the full size in gloss for both sides. I kinda wish i'd gotten matte, not sure. I used to always use matte because of Power Support's quality matte screen material. Anyway, I think I'll cut off the side pieces of the back skin and install a flat back. I too think the sides will peel plus I'll probably use a slim case and this might help the fit..

Does anyone know if I can cut off all the side pieces and just make my own case-optimized back? Would it ruin it somehow if I cut it? I just don't want to go through the process of returning and waiting for them to ship the case-optimized version.

BSE offers a case optimized back piece.
 
For those that selected free shipping (first class) - I'm curious as to how long it took to arrive and the general location.

Gosh what happened to the mail system. Seems to be taking forever for me.
 
I got the BSE body skin and screen protector. The install was tough, and I had to wait a good 30 minutes for the corners to dry until they stuck. With a little patience, everything worked out well.

The 6 plus is very slick and without the skin I felt like I was always about to drop the phone. The skin isn't bulky and it provides the right amount of grip. I'm really glad I got them.

I ordered on October 2nd, and they got here the 6th. That was quick considering the weekend in-between.

Just received the BSE back only case optimized version. In my opinion this isn't really case optimized because it wraps around the curve beyond where a bumper would sit. I was expecting it to fit within the frame of a bumper like their iP5 version did.

I emailed them about this so we'll see what they say. If they revise it I will purchase another one to see the fit. I imagine this will have peeling issues when taking off a bumper/case. Here are a few pics.

Thanks for showing the clear pictures.

I concur with you, I just received the case optimized back and havent put it on yet, but I also thought the same thing as you.

I plan on using my plus with an Incipio DualPro, so I hope the back edge doesn't peel from putting the phone in/out of the case.

What a shame :(

I'm using an Incipio NGP with a full body protector and it's working just fine. I've taken the case off and put it back on many times and the protector has not lifted or peeled.

Do you have the regular full body or the case-optimized ones?

Ordered 9/25. Shipped 9/29. As of today 10/8 - nothing. :(

Maybe I'll hit a mall kiosk and buy something for the wait

i can't tell where it ends. does the optimized go around to where the aluminum meets the glass?

is yours glossy or matte how does it feel?
 
Running a full body kit, matte back and glossy front and it is a snug fit in a Verus iron shield but it does fit and feels solid. Hoping the stickiness of the front protector goes away though. I am afraid i am spoiled to glass protectors too much to be happy with this long term.
 
I tried putting a ringke fusion on my 6 plus today and it did not fit with the BSE full body skin. The ringke fusion is a tight fitting case. Really nice case as long as the clear back doesn't scratch. I decided to take my BSE off and it was nearly impossible to come off my phone. Be careful all when taking it off. Don't bend your 6 or 6 plus. Literally took me 30 mins with some TLC to get the full body protection off. I will probably put an order for another BSE full body as the protection coverage was very nice and accurate.

I waited about 12 hrs before putting on my DualPro that I just got. Unfortunately, it kept bubbling up near the front 4 corner edges

I was I was lucky like you :)

I'm gonna wait at least another day before trying again. Hopefully it should be more dryer by then.

LOL. I took my BSE full body skin off also to put the case optimized version on. It really does stick good. I actually thought about bending also while taking it off. I found the easiest way was to first peel up all the flaps and roll them under so they don't re-stick. Then pull slow and steady back across the phone parallel to the phone. NOT straight up or back at a 45deg.

They posted this picture of their back protection on their facebook page a few hours ago. It looks promising enough that I just purchased a front and back skin from them at a discounted price.

I had a Skinomi full body set at launch and put the back in my 4.7" iPhone 6
After 5 days it had started to turn a brownish yellow at the plastic bands.
Please reply back with your results after a couple of weeks of use.
I have their back skins on my iPads and love the company. I'm sure they didn't forsee this problem.

Got my full body protection. Took a bit of patience to install it but it's worth it. It does a beautiful job!

So how are all of you using your phones with this body protection from BSE, naked phone or with which cases? I haven't found many cases to be compatible with BSE?
