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

Here's an alternate view.
To Canada, and in CAD, the imos cost $86 shipped. And took 19 business days. Mind you, the service and packaging were great.
I just installed it yesterday, which (with the youtube video) went fine. No bubbles, all aligned properly. A close look at the "edge-to-edge" coverage showed its 'lip' still extends past the rounded edge of the iphone. Which we all know leads to dust and debris getting caught and collecting.
This is not the holy grail people claim it to be. The pursuit of the holy grail is lead by some pretty anal iphone owners. They should expect more. Especially for $86.
I owned a MIME Ghost Glass Colour 4 months ago that fit the phone nearly as well, with the exception of IMOS' much more/better rounded edges. I don't want to take that away from them.
I'll upload pictures later, but thought this thread needed and alternate viewpoint. The IMOS only solves some of the screen protection issues we're facing.

This one is pretty good... It's my first glass protector but I have no complaints. Compared to a plastic one, it's much easier to keep clean and feels much better.

Really really really want to try either the Benks full screen 0.2 or something similar but I just literally put on a $40 Spigen Glass tr and would feel like such a tool wasting a brand new SP
Well.....
I would like to try the 0.2mm Benks, in black, without the lines. But...... I don't know if they have the 'without lines' version available, and even if they did, they say they will not post to the UK!
Might need to ask for a favour from someone in the US if anyone is prepared to post to me.....

Benks sucks,I bought 4 different versions and they all had lines.Then I got this one for 9.99 on Amazon and I love it.Its called Daswise and no lines on,it's does not have curved edges though (its says it does when you buy one lol)and just like ALL of them it does NOT cover full screen.But it does fit in to just about any case I tried,the one in picture is cheap clear one from best buy like 8 bucks.I can tell you that will fit just fine with Apple leather case to.

The little black dots on the screen are actually from my cracked camera on my Xperia Z3 that I took picture with
I have alot of experiences with edge to edge glass protectors and stated
that the benks are sucks but no one would listen.
The Daswise is alright but it cut a little too small, it leaves maybe 1 to 2mm around the edges. I agree that it would fit with many cases though.
The one that I like the best and I have bought many are the Arcadia by New Trent and for only 4 bucks, it's a no-brainer. It's available in both black and white and 6/6plus. I'll use these until the Cinder's released.

One minor annoyance of this protector is that there's no glue right behind the light and proximity sensor. After installation, it would look like in the pictures, but it does not bother or annoy me much and I don't really notice it.

Thanks for the pointing out the Arcadia protector! Looks interesting and just $4 shipped.
Like you, I'm waiting for CINDER to be released. After watching Kristin's videos, I'm sold.
Has anyone used ProGlas yet? Idk if it will be any good or not. The thing is only $10 and if it's any as good as the one I'm using now then I might as well try.
Found a ebay seller selling imos Solid EX 3D glass protector, for only $39.99USD too, I'm going to go ahead and purchase one to see if its real!
After reading through about 20 pages of this thread to find the perfect screen protector I've decided that I'll just buy a new screen from Apple if I ever am bothered by the scratches!
Talk about a headache...

Well, the company reps can't post here anymore, so we aren't hearing anything from them. And I haven't gotten any more test samples or anything to report back on, so I'm afraid I have no information for you either. Hopefully, they will send out some sort of communication to their backers soon...
Do you guys know how much extra protection do edge-to-edge SPs offer compared to the non E2Es in terms of drop protection?
Or better yet, what are your thoughts on this?
I'm about to try a non E2E one from company called ROCK, as I have yet to see any nice E2E one I like (limited range as many of the brands don't shop to Australia on Amazon).

Well, it is not so much the protection but the "no lint under sp" and "case compatibility (no lifting)" which makes a real E2E sp worth it. Plus it is gorilla corning glas.
Has anybody heard of: granclair? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1295071512/granclairs-noble-glass-3d-iphone-6-6plus-screen-pr
as well a real E2E 0.2mm gorilla corning glas sp.

I should supposedly be receiving a CINDER sample in the next week or two. I'll post a review shortly thereafter.

Did anyone try putting black screen protector on white iPhone? Or vice-versa?
