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

Jazper said:
I also have this exact screen protector, it's really nice.

Only cons are dust getting under the gap, and as you say the white edges.

Also the new version of the Benks screen protector doesn't have white edges: http://www.benks.us/screen-protecto...hone-6-full-front-glass-screen-protector.html :)

The new black version, without the white outline, will be available around 4/10 on Benksus. The white has no outline.

I'm using the case friendly Benks 0.15 thin glass and it's great quality. Extremely smooth, crystal clear and perfect adhesion.

The white edge to edge I tested was also the same quality. It just didn't work with my favorite case or I would still be using it.
 
Just ordered my Benks to go with my Veil XT. I hate the Zagg Glass I have on now but its doing its job until I get the Benks in.

For $25, there are much better alternative out there without the white outline around the screen. You can get the Same Cheap Quality ones with the White Outline on ebay for much cheaper!
I don't know why everyone's so excited about this cheap quality Benks glass.

1. The eBay ones have no Amazon customer support or Benks customer support to fall back on should there be issues. You have to deal with some lame eBay seller who can give a damn to make things right.

2. These are listed and sold as CORNING GORILLA GLASS. So far I only know of two companies offering this...not sure how this is cheap quality.

3. As I stated in my review the white outline is so minor that all the other positives significantly outweigh having this slight issue PLUS as others have stated Benks is going to be offering new glass that solves this going forward.

1. I just stated ebay as an example but you can get them there for $5 and if it break, just buy another! you can replace 5 of those ebay ones (same quality as the Benks for the same price as one Benks)

2. I don't know if the new un-release version is Corning glass or not but I bet the one you have is NOT!

3. The white outline is a MAJOR issue, not minor like you stated (only the cheap quality screen protector have that)
I wouldn't even paid $2 for a screen protector that have that!

Also on Amazon there are countless other glass protectors without the white outline and they're going for around $8-$15 only.

But at the end of the day, it's your money, do whatever makes you happy :)

I haven't experienced any other negatives except that it does make the phone a little heavy. The combination of the case and the screen protector makes the weight slightly noticeable compared to a naked iPhone. Installation did take some time especially getting all of those small bubbles out. One thing I recommend is once you align the placement, start from the middle clearing out the bubbles and you might have to lift the corners to clear bubbles from each of the corners. Take your time when installing.

Really.... a glass screen protector adds "weight" to the phone..... wow...just wow.

I also ordered from this website two days ago and the order is still showing as processing. Did yours ship right away?

Update: Just received an email stating that the pending status is due to the easter holiday and they asked if I still wanted the screen protector. Now my question is, is it really worth paying that much for it? I am thinking about canceling the order.

Mine took a few days to ship, you should be fine. Its worth every penny in my opinion. i cant see my self using any other screen protector.
 
WRAPUP
Stop waiting for something better and buy it for under $20 shipped while you can. It's a near perfect solution to screen protection without giving up any clarity or the original liquid smooth feel of the naked glass. Using the Benks in conjunction with a thin case and nobody will ever be overtly aware that there is a glass screen protector installed and in the end isn't the goal to protect the glass yet make it feel and appear like nothing extra is there. Benks really nailed it. Excellent product all around.[/QUOTE]

Well. I also believe this type of screen protector was the "one". I had 3 screen protectors like that from 2 different brands. I bet that in one month the corners will start to crack/ chip in little pieces or that dust start to accumulate on the edge below the glass.
I'be lost faith in finding the right screen protector...

What do you guys think? ScreenMate MAX apparently works with the Apple leather case.

Contrary to popular opinions, that actually looks pretty damn good. The quality looks excellent - cut outs, color matching, style. Seems great for anyone who doesn't care about the sleek glossy look of the original screen AND for anyone who doesn't use cases.
 
Received the 0.2mm Benks from China. Have tried numerous TG SPs and this is by far the champion for me :cool:

This thread is about edge to edge coverage.... Benks doesn't do that...even though they say it does. Every pic I've seen of the Benks on the phone shows a very slight portion of the actual screen. iLoome's covers the complete screen (less the cut outs). Looks like a good protector though.
 
My wife is using IMOS herself and I can guarantee it is the best screen protector you can find the this world IF you don't really care about price. I am working in the cell phone industry and I have seen tons of tempered glass screen protector and there is nothing that can match imos glass SP. I always think of getting alot of these back to my store in Canada and sell it but I am pretty sure not many people would want to pay $70 Cad for a piece of glass when you can get a cheap one for $15-20 Cad.

:cool:Been following this thread closely for a while also searching for the holy grail. I finally decided to pull the trigger and purchas the IMOS screen protector. After doing some Google searching I found a website selling it in the US. www.goprotect.net I will do a full review and post up some better pics for all of you later this weekend. :D

Installation took a bit of time and patience but I was able to get it perfect in the end. The quality and material is excellent you can actually feel the glass is curved on the edges unlike the other brands I've used:eek::eek:.

Here are some pics taken with another 6+

Whoooa! That looks clean :cool: Is it compatible with any Apple Case?

Yep, gf wanted to try on the apple leather case so we went to the Apple Store to test one out today. Fits nice and snug!

I'm contemplating getting this, but I'm worried about dust collecting along the edges of the protector?

2 questions:

1. How has it held up against dust along the side edges?

2. It doesn't cover the screen glass completely? I notice some screen glass between the gold sides and the actual edge of the protector in your first picture.

thanks
 
Well i sold my iphone 6 along with my iMos last night, ordered an iMos right away for my 6 plus! its expensive but it will be the only one you need, ive dropped it straight onto the ground without a scratch or crack, i was amazed.
