iPhone 6 Edge-to-edge Glass Screen Protector — The holy grail?

After reading through 22 pages here, My conclusion is that there are NO edge to edge solution out that are perfect, or if nearly perfect, do not last very long (lifts up at corners or chips) and then it needs to be replaced.

Or otherwise They work if the edges are covered with a case that extends well over the front phone face...and you don't remove the case often.

It has only been a few days, but I think the IMOS Gorilla Glass is going to last much longer than other screens. Feels just like native screen. You may be proven wrong...

Looks like your and my waiting is over? :)
Guys, anyone heard of these guys? I did have an extensive chat with them, and looks like they have what we've all been waiting for (fingers crossed)!

Here is the link to their factory store: http://www.zeosdirect.com

Here are some videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSwZIN0Q3iQ

They seem to have a really cool installer as well, that's included in the package.

I did extensive searches about their products, reviews etc., and saw a review by zdnet where the reviewer said it was awesome. Looks a bit expensive, but they have a sale going on now, so for my iPhone 6, it'll come to $31.60 + $4.95 shipping. I did chat with their rep online, and he said that they've been selling a lot of them ever since their press release last month. They have 2 versions - a 3D version and a case-friendly version. Both are edge to edge, with the latter having a lower profile. @finnftw, I too have an Apple leather case, and they said the 3D one (the better one in my opinion, a after my research), will work with that case. So I'm going to place an order today, and will keep you posted of the results.

Really hope this works out. Tired of the time and money I've spent on this. 2 broken screens in my household has made me paranoid I guess :)
Cheers!

Did you get your Zeos protector yet? Pics? How does it fit with the Apple leather case?

I would not mind being proved wrong on this one. :)

I would guess that even the tiniest air gap between the SP and iPhone glass, at the curve would cause the SP to chip, break or crack on a drop, whereas the iPhone glass would not have, if unprotected.

What was the price of the IMOS?

About $60. I know, way too much, but it is nice. Tricky to install.. Will see how long it lasts

You are both right, the edge is not properly adhering, however, I wouldn't blame that on the product persay. I take some of that responsibility and place blame worthiness on my lack of knowledge in installing screen protectors such as tempered glass. I know, I know... It's not rocket science...

I believe that the product is superior compared to everything else I have seen on the web. Regardless, I just wanted to post and share what I found.

Actually, if the edge is not properly adhering, that IS the product's issue. Frankly, and I'm not an expert here, but the reason there aren't many edge to edge screen protectors is because it's probably really hard to make. Otherwise we would've seen a ton by now.

Does it work with the apple leather cases? :)

I don;t have an Apple leather case. But it works with the Rinkge slim and the spigen slim fit. I think with any that doesn't cover too much the edges.
 
got my imos in the mail monday, absolutley love it! the packaging is amazing as well! the curves feel so good, and i love the way light reflects off the glass like it does on the screen itself around the edges.

is it truly edge to edge?...i.e. does the edge of the protector extend to touch the small outline of the "plastic" before the aluminum?

Not quite, but sure feels like native phone. Sliding in from the side is smooth. Don't feel the edge at all. Love it. No cracks or scratched yet. Gorilla Glass. Not sure if version 3 or 4.

Not 4 yet. Corning gorilla glass only used on Galaxy Note 4 when it was launched.
 
iPhone 6 Edge-to-edge Glass Screen Protector — The holy grail?

Received my imos screen protector for my iPhone 6 and must say it feels great. Took abit of time to install and to clear the bubbles but well worth it. Feels smooth just like the actual iPhone screen

We will try to update the list but there most of the brands available in the states are currently not available in Malaysia. And we can't find any of the resellers are updating the list.

I guess I'll be the guinea pig to try some of them then. I just put in my order for the IMOS 3D, and I will try the cases that I have: Shumuri Slim Extra, Spigen CS card case, Magpul, Power Support air jacket (already on the list, should be fine), some Korean thick hybrid metal bumper, some no-name TPU case, no-name hard plastic matte case, and will have some no-name Shumuri Slim Extra and Caudabe XT look-alikes.
