Benks Full Front Glass Screen Protector Review

viewfly said:
These look identical to the ones sold by Moshi, and now Spigen too.

Anyone have these? Both are full coverage curved glass.

Spigen says it is compatible with all their cases.

( had the wrong link at first)

The question on the Spigen is the thickness. Then Benks is listed at .20
The brands that have been out for weeks like Tech Armor and Anker are at least .60 thick. Home button is down in the valley on those. The weight is more too with that kind of thickness.

A week ago I contact them by 2 emails but I don't have any response yet.
Last night I bought the unique white, and I don't have any email confirmation or something I paid by PayPal.

The person I have been speaking to (BenksUSA) informed me that he was banned without any warning and lost all his messages and posts on this forum. I am currently in contact with him via email and he said to go ahead and tell others that they can contact him at admin@benks.us. I would try emailing him if you are still having issues.

He already respond me. And I tell him that I need the new version because I saw some users reporting a outline around the screen.
Here his answer: We cant guarentee that. As its many products we have in Stock and quality is the same.

I was supposed to get the White iPhone 6+ sample and was also sent the Black for the iPhone 6. I should get the correct one today, as it is out for delivery.

I am using the Zagg right now, I like it, but am hoping the Benks will fit the screen better.

I'd be interested in hearing the differences from someone who has used both so please give us an update when you receive it.

Did you ever receive the corrrect part for your White iPhone 6+?

They seem to be having major inventories issues with Amazon. I gave up after two incorrect shipments, since there's more than enough feedback and reviews in this thread.

I'm going to install my Tech Armor Ballistic Glass later this week and call it a day.
 
Thanks for the reviews, I just pulled the trigger on the black one and I'm pretty sure that it will fit my iPhone 6 Plus in Mophie case.

This is a small review of the "The Unique PRO 0.20 mm Black Apple iPhone 6 Plus Full Front Glass Screen Protector" (wow that's a mouthful). You can find the full specifications at:

https://www.benks.us/screen-protect...6-plus-full-front-glass-screen-protector.html


This is a sample I received from BenksUSA (a user here on MacRumors). If you look for some of his posts in this forum you will find that he has been recently offering samples. Despite this being a sample I will try to remain as unbiased as possible.

First, some photos:

I am very happy with the fit around the home button and the speaker. TouchID is just as easy to use as it was before. Even though there are full cutouts for the camera and sensors I don't seem to have a problem using either the front camera or auto brightness. In terms of feel, when using the phone naked the screen protector you will definitely notice the screen protector when shuffling it around in your hand. As you can see in the photos there is some potential for snagging something in between the phone and the protector. I, however, do not plan to use this naked so this isn't as much of an issue for me. Another thing I have noticed (and I am sure you will to) is the slight clear line around the edge of the screen. Although I would prefer that not to be there, I don't really notice it when I have the screen on and am using the phone. I believe that I have seen this same issue with other glass screen protectors so I think it is just something I am going to have to deal with.

My main reason for this screen protector was that I was hoping I could use it with the two cases I own. Fortunately, it works great with both.

Below is my Ringke Slim:

and my Magpul:

Image

As you can see with both cases, there is an extremely small amount of space between the screen protector and the case itself. When holding it in my hand and looking at it from the front I can't even tell there there is any space at all. For me, this is as close as its going to come to a perfect fit with these cases. I even still have a small lip with both cases with the screen protector on.

My last point I want to make is that I have noticed a couple faint lines near the corners of the screen (I tried to capture one of them in the below photo). It seems to get larger when I put pressure on it but I am hoping it is just some of the adhesive curing and will eventually go away.
Image

Overall, I think this screen protector is perfect for those who have a case and want additional protection for the screen. It likely will not work with all cases (I've only tested these two) but for these two cases I am extremely happy with it. My only current concern now is the small hazy line in the photo above but I'll update this thread in a few days to let you know if it has gone away.

I like it. Looks good. Unlike the Tampered Glass Screen Protector I purchased from Verizon wireless. The damn thing dose not cover the entire screen. And I don't want to keep taking glass, screen protectors on and off for fear of damaging the original screen. Verizon should have recalled those worthless screen screenprotectors a long time ago. Everyone their mother brother and sister is complaning about them.
 
Benks contacted me again and it appears their Amazon created inventory issues are resolved. They are going to send me the correct sample.

When it arrives, I'll post my review in this thread. :cool:

Got an email from them today and said one is in the mail. The item I THOUGHT was the Benks was actually a iPhone CD Slot Holder I had forgotten I ordered.

Waiting is the hardest part. :)

On another note. I asked Benks if the version that's coming addresses the outline around the screen. Benks told me it will. That's good news, since ARSkemp's review mentioned that issue and overall he seemed to be pleased with the protector.

I wanted to order from them. But if they can't send me the new version without the screen outline they are advertising on their site then they don't want my money.

Unfortunately, according to Benks, their current stock of black screen protectors is mixed. Some still show the screen outline when installed. The white glass protector stock is all outline free.

Most of the other colored glass protector brands have this issue. According to Benks, they will eventually have their entire black glass stock without the outline.

This is pretty much the same thing he has told to me about the black screen protectors. I've been working with him the last couple weeks to try to get a sample of the black one without the outline. I'll keep you guys updated If I end up receiving one.

I understood all that by the posts in this thread. Who knows how long it will take for their supply to normalize behind their 2.0 version.

I was just disappointed because when I heard they had a new 2.0 version I was going to buy until I found out there was no guarantee I'd get 2.0. So they are losing sales because of this issue.

I'll just do my homework and find a brand that can give me what I need without risking all this confusion.
 
Waiting....

A week waiting for my benks unique pro white for my 6+
I hope to get the new version without outline around the screen
(Crossing my fingers)

I saw your review, looks nice
But in a few pictures you post seems like it doesn't cover full screen.

It's an edge-to-edge. It doesn't cover the curved outer edge of glass.

Any idea if this fits Power Support Air Jacket?

I too am wondering (non-force version). Hopefully someone will have an answer before they get more black ones in stock on April 10th when I am planning on buying.

Curious, how are people getting samples? Just emailing and saying you'll throw up a review if they provide you with a sample?
