Belkin Glass Screen Protector - In Store Apple/Belkin Machine Application

[jiholl]

Hi...wanted to see if anyone knows for sure....Some people say the machine will only apply the "film" protector and not the Glass. The descriptions on the apple site for the two Belkin products say in store pro application on the Film one but no mention of that on the Glass one....But, there are videos on youtube of the glass one being applied with the machine...for iphones before the x. Anyone know for sure...I have ordered the Belkin InvisiGlass Ultra Screen Protection for iPhone X from Apple Store on line...I want to be able to go to a store and have them apply it with the machine.....but not sure if they can?

thanks

Also confused by this. Belkin’s own site mentions the pro application. Will reach out to support and hopefully get an answer by Friday

I am hoping so as well. I bought some glass protectors on amazon for cheap just in case though.

They apply it in store, in fact they’ll probably ask you if you want it when you pick your device up.

However, I DO NOT recommend spending $40 on it. The $5-10 ones are just as good.

Just turn your shower on hot for 3 mins and close the bathroom door. Then turn it off, wait another five mins with the door closed, and then go in and close yourself inside and apply your protector. It pretty much completely cleans the air of particles, so you can have time to make it as straight as you need with no bubbles or dust.

And it costs....... ZIP

Emailed my local Apple store to confirm for certain given the conflicting info. The protector should be with me tomorrow.

Has there been any word on if the Belkin glass protector will be edge to edge? I'm curious if it'll cover the whole screen.

Unfortunately not edge to edge. This picture illustrates the extent of the coverage

Ah, that's not bad coverage though. Hmmm, I got two Spigen's for $8 but everything I hear about this Belkin is that it's worth it.

Does Belkin have a replacement warranty in the event the glass protector cracks down the road?

No.

 

[ducatiti]

No.

Thanks for confirming. Total waste of money then.

its your choice to make but in my opinion I wouldn’t spend 40 quids to get a Belkin screen protector, where you can get cheaper from amazon (spigen iPhone x screen protector two pack for £6.99)as long you have a prime account.

Save money and buy Apple care I know you guys need it

They do apply the glass screen protector in store with the machine. I brought my 6S to store for it.

 

[johnyslats]

Found this in relation to warranty. Also at £19.95 (not sure where 40 came from?) it’ll should add extra piece of mind. If the iPhone X uses the same glass as the iPhone 8 I’ve seen multiple sources suggest an issue with micro-scratches. It may be overkill but best to avoid any issues with cosmetic damage which I don’t think Apple care would cover?

Yes. They do it for the 7s as well but not sure if their installation machine is set up for the new X form factor. Will need to stop by the  store on Friday when my phone arrived to see.

Do glass screen shields leave permanent marks on the glass screen when you remove it?

It won't leave any marks. The glass screen protector will break when you remove it but it'll come off in one piece.

The glass is $40. The $20 version is a film protector.

It’s actually been mis-priced in the U.K. meaning both film and glass versions are the same price of £19.95 so jumped on the deal

Just arrived...

this is my go to, as having apple install takes it out of my shaky hands

Just arrived...

Do you think with the Tray applicator it might work as well as the in store machine?

The tray looks really solid and the current alignment looks well centred. Will see how well the phone settles into the cradle on Friday before committing lol

Just went to an Apple store that the website was reporting had some available for pickup today. Never received the ‘your order is ready for collection ’ email after 4 hours so decided to head down there anyway. Apparently the website is erroneously reporting stock and this product is not even released until Friday. What nonsense!
