The same one you mentioned in original post, HD Clear, but for the 6. I just dont like the cutout at the top. My FaceTime camera is exposed which is good, but I prefer separate cutouts for the cam and speaker, rather than one big one as seen on the 2nd pic on Amazon.

They must have mislabeled side 1 and 2 as these protectors are the easiest install I had to do.
----------
Not on my 6+ protector.
I think they did mislabel. Because the side it told me to remove the plastic film off first did not line up with the camera and speaker, it was really odd. The "wrong" way worked out. So at that point I ignored the instructions, didn't use that rubberband or special tools and just slapped it on my own way. no bubbles.
Well that's really odd. I bought a second pack, I better open it and see what they look like.
Just checked my second pack received this week from Amazon, they look exactly the same as the ones in my first post. 6+ HD Clear, no camera cutout.
I just got my HD Clear for the 6+ and there is a cutout for the camera. Will post a pic in a second

I'm kinda ocd, so if it's not on perfectly, or there's a tiny hair under it I pull it off and do it again. Plus over time plastic screen protectors will get scratched.
----------
Hard to make out much in that picture, I do see an elongated notch at the top.
Yeah sorry. This OnePlus One camera is terrible lol. There is a notch for the mic and camera.
I finally got around to trying again after my failed first attempt.
Verdict : Excellent!!!!
Either I messed up or it was a 'faulty' protector the first time. This time it went on easy, probably the best I've done a plastic protector. I got one small strand of dust but its on black border near the touch button - so not in the viewing area and can hardly notice it - so I left it because the rest is perfect. I got the alignment perfect. I can hardly notice it's on
It doesn't have a cut out for the front camera but I'm not bothered. But the protector does cover the viewable screen by about 0.25mm on each side if you get the alignment perfect.
So, excellent screen protector (and very thin). Especially for £1.35 per protector (£4.04 per 3 pack). It'll do just fine until the glass protectors are released by all the major players.
That's for recommending this OP

I recieved my iCarez screen protector on the 15th of October. It's the HD clear one and it's for the iPhone 6 (4.7 in.). It's like the OP's, where it doesn't have that large cut out at the top and covers the camera. The bottom is also countoured to the home button more. I'm guessing this is their updated model. You know what I'll post a pic on my 2012 ipad since I don't have the 6 yet :|
I wonder how these compare to the similarly priced amFilm panels?

I received the iCarez last week for the 6. Today I got the crystal directly from Spigen. They are identical in width & length. I don't know if Spigen has updated their screen protectors as early reviews were not favorable. They've been my fav for a few years so I got them to compare to iCarez because the fit of iCarez looked to be better than other protectors I've seen all over these forums. Only difference as noted before is the Spigen has a camera cut-out, the iCarez does not. The shape of the home button is just the tiniest bit different and I mean TINY. Almost identical but the iCarez has sharper corners at the end of the horseshoe cut-out. Both are nice and tight around the home button.
I haven't installed the iCarez yet. I was waiting to get the Spigen so I could compare first. I expected the Spigen to be narrower but much too my delight that is not the case. I will try the Spigen first.
Finger prints don't seem to be an issue, but after a couple weeks I can say they do seem to scratch fairly easily.
Just received my set of iCarez HD Clear for my iPhone 6 4.7" today. Honestly I'm not that impressed with it. The fiment isn't any better than my latest tech armor HD Clear SP was. I'm not sure if it was just my batch, but it doesn't cover the actual viewable part of the screen.
To make things worse, I can't find their contact page on Amazon. On top of that their website is currently non existent so it is impossible to contact iCarez for a replacement set.
Has anyone else had issues with their SP not fitting well enough? Has anyone tried to contact their Customer Service yet?

Pics? I had both and the viewable screen fitment is just fine. Maybe you're not aligning it correctly.
Bought some from ebay last week for my 6+
Quality is good - nothing special. I would rate this as a higher grade PET protector than your super cheap-o's from ebay.
However - I got the 3 pack - first one i got one was perfect fit, but its soooo close to the curve areas unless i got it on 101% perfect - which is near impossible the protector is not "sealed" all the way around - we are talking uber minor - not even 1mm, but i like my stuff to be perfect.
Tried the second one - same thing. NO room for error or it wont be perfect.
