i just got mine
here are the cases that i have and it works just fine with them
Apple Leather Case
Apple Polyurethane Case
Magpul Field Case
Mophie Juice Pack
Here is what i have to say
1. The crown part is super nice and i like how it finishes the phone off
2. I think that bodyguardz needs to address some things as i believe mine is installed 100% perfectly yet some of the corners of the PUR are not adhering properly
With that said, for what it is, for the FIRST Variant, and believe me Bodyguardz will fix this. I think it is really nice.
on my space grey it looks fantastic, is it perfect? NO
is it acceptable, heck yes, for a first try
----------
yes works just fine

Bodyguardz Crown - Seamless Tempered Glass Protector
Interesting..after a couple of hours of use the bottom part of the "crown" below the home button has come undone and is not sticking any more
Edit... And i figured out why..the apple leather case is squeezing it too tight ;(

That sounds like it wasn't aligned correctly.
My apple leather case doesn't lift the protector.
well mine wouldnt stay one, seems like the crown starts peeling off easily and dust gets in the part that is coutout for the home button (also really sharp against the thumb)
it wont work with the apple cases, it will "Fit" but will eventually the crown will start to push against the pure.
I am back to my orginial Pure, which works fine and looks just as good/bad depending on opinion

I ordered it yesterday for my 6+. Once it's on, will put my Mophie on and have full protection and extra long battery life. I will post pics afterwards
BodyGuardz ScreenGuardz Pure with Crown: Underwhelmed!
Thought I'd put my own two cents in here. Bodyguardz sent me out couple of review samples of this screen protector, and I was pretty underwhelmed. It's not awful, but for the price, there are definitely better options. I was particularly irritated in my first install, because I was following their installation instructions carefully and they said to use the provided microfiber cloth to push out any remaining bubbles once you use the installer (which was the only thing I liked about the BodyGuardz) to put the glass on. I did, and the bubbles were removed quickly, but this action left a lot of dust along the edges of the screen protector. I think that either the edges of the glass are a little sharp and were rubbing off bits of microfiber, or (more likely) there was adhesive on the edges of the screen protector that were rubbing against the microfiber cloth and picking up lint. Anyway, the edges were a mess, which was a problem both for installing the Crown and for getting any stray dust motes out from under the installed screen protector. I ended up having to re-do the install with the second review sample, and this time, I didn't put the microfiber cloth anywhere near the screen protector in the bubble removal stage. The second install went fine, and the resulting product is OK, but the Crown doesn't adhere terribly well to the home button area and feels a bit sharp against my fingers there.
Overall, there are definitely better options out there, in my opinion. In the metal and tempered glass space, I liked the iLoome better and I liked the Aegis better. If you move over into the true curved glass space, I definitely prefer both the Imos and the Cinder to the BodyGuardz ScreenGuardz Pure with the Crown.
