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

PatriciaHall said:
iLoome the Best Tempered Glass Screen Protector so far, based on my experienced its the only full edge to edge screen protector, I already bought 3 screen screen protectors from other companies and they all failed.

Found this on Amazon and so far so good although seems thick but still it is much better compared to other products, so I guess this is the best screen protector for iPhone 6, what do you think? Here is the one i bought iLoome Glass Screen protector

Its not the best and barely the only. Most (99%) have returned them and thats why they are working on a different design or more likely trying to partner with IMOS.

I wish there was a list or template so it can be easily figured out if a certain case will work with it
 
I tried iLoome and it looked pretty good, I just had a hard time getting it on just right and there were air gaps on the edges. From above it looked great, but if you look at the phone from the side, you will see that there is overhang and a gap along the edge.

There is no way to have "complete" screen coverage without overhang. I know IMOS is developing one, but like I have said before, it will be like making a glass contact lens for a glass eye. Won't be easy.

I also bought some of the Moshi knockoffs from China and they are simply flat pieces of glass with the color frame. These will have even more obvious overhang. I didn't even try to install one. Edges could actually be dangerously sharp. At least iLoome has somewhat of an edge filler.

I am sticking with Zagg until a better option comes out.

It really seems as though Apple has dropped the ball slightly in terms of design on the new iPhones. By making the screen to have a curved edge, they have all but cut the throats of those whose businesses are dependent upon selling screen protectors and cases for their livelihood. That, and Apple's not using a scratch resistant material for their screens like Gorilla glass or Sapphire crystal...makes this whole thing like a dog chasing its tail.
 
Apple isn't in the business of putting the accessory makers first. Those companies exist as being reactionary to Apple products. The screen and it's curvature are beautiful. I agree that it can be scratched and isn't indestructible yet it's still strong.
 
I have not used any thing on my screens for the last 3-4 years but this looks great if I do add a glass screen protector it looks like a great option.

Erm, practically all devices these days use Gorilla Glass and that includes the iPhone 6's.

Are you sure the iPhone 6 is using Gorilla glass? Didn't apple say that it was ion-infused glass. They kind went out of the way not to say gorilla glass (or was that just for the IP6+)
 
Yes, it's most likely Gorilla Glass and the Apple curved screen is not unique. It's been present in other phones for a solid 12-18 months now. The Moto X has it, the Note 3 and 4 also have it.

Screen protector manufacturing companies will catch up very soon.

Isn't this the Ghost Glass Color for the iPhone 6 Plus?

Or do you mean something else?

You know when I first looked it up there wasn't a color version for 6 plus. The pic was a clear SP. Now they updated it. I knew I wasn't tripping
