Thanks, man. I don't like the deal with the screen lifting in the corners, because like every SP...once it does it, it will continue to do it no matter how many times you press it back down. That and I don't like the line around the perimeter.

I'll just stay pretty happy with my ZAGG Glass & wait for an updated product from iLoome that addresses the issues. :)
 
I love my screen protector, but like many others, somehow still ended up with bubbles. Not sure what the deal is? But just found it interesting. Overall good but wish I wasn't having the issues with bubbles.

I purchased the screen protector of Amazon, I sent them an email about the issue this morning. Thank you for your fast response.
 
Torn on what to buy

This is something I am really unsure of. TheiLoome is the only hard screen protector to cover the entire surface, but that border is just fugly and there have been comments here and there about the touch sensitivity going wonky on parts of the phone, resulting in an inability to use the phone.

It would seem the iPhone's curved edges are en engineering nightmare for these accessory providers. Even OtterBox seems to have screwed up their Commuter case (my case of choice for the iPhone 4 going on 2+ years).

iLoome needs to come out with a borderless version and pronto. My iPhone 6 is due for delivery November 1 and I would love to have a viable option by then. I drop my phone constantly (I'm clumsy) and no doubt I need a screen protector and a damn good case.
 
So I got a tracking# on Friday 10/17 and it still not working! WTF iloome I live in the same city as you, you would think I would have gotten this already since city to city mail takes only a day:mad: ok end of rant....
 
absolutely hated mine. the border looked awful and it was super thick, added a lot of weight to the phone. i took it off and threw it out yesterday and went back to regular screen protectors. Phone feels a lot better

Shouldn't you be blaming the parcel company?

Seriously? You felt a weight difference from a sheet of tempered glass?

Nope! Because all iloome did was create the shipment but never actually mailed it out yet!

Once the tracking number works and is in transit then if lost I will blame the parcel company.
 
If I order on Amazon where is it shipping from?
I read on eBay it ships from San Diego

Same here! Was sent email on 18th and no movement since then!
 
I got my iPhone 6 Plus SPs. Ordered 2 so I would have one in case I goofed.

I hate installing these things.

Went on pretty well, even had to lift it once and get rid of lint. After a while, I could see dust and small hair buried in the adhesive. No air bubble (except one at the top). Drove me crazy so I ripped it off and tried again with the other one.

Went better the second time, but the bottom corned next to the button wouldn't stay down, even though it looked centered.

I am sending back for refund or replacements. Haven't decided.

For those that have not purchase one, I think they look good on the black (Space Gray) phone. BUT REMEMBER, they cover the entire screen, but the edges are elevated. They do not curve down the curved part of the glass. I think the borders are just there to "hide" the curved edge.

Overall a good product, just won't be to everyone's liking.

I think I will probably end up going back to Zagg. I am spoiled by their installation. Much less stress for me. I know it's not really that hard, I just hate doing it.

Case is a Spigen capsule in black

It took painstaking effort and several tries to get it on perfectly, but I think I nailed it.
There is a small gap between the adhesive and the black border that is visible as a line going around the perimeter of the glass. I wonder whether this might eventually accumulate with dust.
For the moment, it feels great, much better than the other non 'fullscreen' protector I was using. Looks much better as well. And it also complements the case perfectly.
Overall, Im happy with it. I don't see how manufacturers will be able to improve on the design unless they can get moulded glass, but that would make the protector way too delicate and more prone to fitment problems I think.
Also for those asking for a version with a clear non coloured border, there would be no point in this because then you would see the overhang in all its glory.

PS: sorry for the poor angles in the pics, it's bloody hard getting macro shots without a dedicated macro lens for my camera

Can it still lay on face with the iloome?
 
Thanks to everyone for the helpful reviews and photos. Even though I also would prefer one without borders, I decided to get the iLoome screen cover anyway after reading through this thread.

However right before I ordered I emailed the company to ask if their screen is compatible with Speck cases, since I already got one that I love for my 6, and unfortunately they told me no, Speck cases aren't compatible with the iLoome screen protector.

Just sharing in case it helps anybody else.

I'm a bit surprise Spigen is compatible with the iLoome glass SP.

The capsule doesn't touch the edge?

Any peeing near curved edges due to lip of capsule?

Spigen lost some lip clearance because of the curve. Had there been no curve, it would have as much as the 5/5s did. Their lip clearance ranges between .8mm and less; obviously .4mm would mean no clearance with a .4mm SP. This might change with future builds because the loss of lip clearance poses worse drop protection. Think of a phone dropping on asphalt and landing face down...the asphalt is uneven and if one rock is taller than the surrounding ground by .8mm, it will act like a car window shatter escape tool to the screen.

Noticed 2 lines on each side after a couple days.
iLoome got back to me after I PM them and is going to look into it.

Mine has the same defect as yours. Emailed them and received a very fast response. Unfortunately they still wanted me to send them back the glass(international shipping) for a refund... considering it's an obvious defect in their product.

Nope doesn't touch the case at all
No lifting when putting on the case

Does the edge of the lip touch the curved edge?

Or is it the iLoome curved border that doesn't go all the way down the curved glass?

The iloome is flat. It overhangs the curved edge of the glass, but this is hidden by the black or white border

I apologize. I should have been clearer.

I meant, does the lip of the case itself overlap the curved edge of the glass at all, or does it stop short?

I'm asking because I have a BSE on my plus, but the Incipio DualPro I got overlaps the curved edge, and it peels the edges of the skin.

Thanks
