iPhone 6 screen protectors - post yours

Gnarlyfish ultra-thin screen protector for iphone 6

Got the GNARLYFISH ULTRA-THIN SCREEN PROTECTOR FOR IPHONE 6 today.

http://www.thesource.ca/estore/prod....shop_thesource_ca&language=EN-CA&swlang=true

Came in a pack of two. I butchered the first attempt. Second attempt was ok. Not one bubble. Almost impossible to line up exact. And with a white iPhone when it is turned on you couldn't see any misalignment. I am a perfectionist of sorts so I wish it was perfect but that would take more than two attempts!

Overall I am very pleased with it. It has exceeded my expectations. Can barely see it at all and it is crystal clear. Also has enough give so that the curves towards the edge is no big deal. Best protector I have seen in terms of thinness and invisibility.
 
I want to wait for Moshi Ivisor. I have one for my iPad and love it. I hate hate putting on the screen protectors, theres always that one bubble I can't get out. I had a Zagg on my 5 and didn't like it.

Im using nothing right now. I did order a full body case so we'll see what It like better. I takes a while to decide what will work.

This is the case i'm about to order. Heard a few good things about it.

How do you like the overall feel in your hand and its fit on the phone? Does it have enough of a lip on the front to keep the screen off a surface when face down and on the back to keep the camera off a surface?

Thanks and sorry for so many questions.

It fits pretty good compared to my two Spigen cases that were a bit loose. The buttons are easy to press. The lip in the front is definitely enough to protect the screen. I have a rather thick glass protector and it still doesn't touch the table when placed face down. The back has four "legs" in the corners to protect the clear back and prevent it from scratching when placed on a table. The camera also protected. Overall, I like the case. I just wish it were matte black instead of glossy.

That's exactly my thoughts on this situation.

I've gone through two screen protectors that looked ghastly. It's suppose to be the strongest glass to date, so I guess it's worth a shot.

I'm debating on doing the same thing, just without the Applecare. I've installed an Xtreme Guard on the back of my 6 Plus and will install their front skin when it comes in a few days. If these don't do it for me i'll just risk it and go naked screen and a case. Every iPhone I've owned has gotten some mostly unnoticeable hairlines that can only be seen in direct sunlight or under a lamp, and a fingernail can usually feel them if I take the protector off. As bad as my OCD gets it goes nuts for a misaligned screen protector or specks of dust but is fine for a few scratches.
 
The pic on the web site shows it going over the curve below the home button. Sides as well?

Can you post a pic please?

Thanks for the response. Ordering the smoke black since the regular black looks so glossy. Then i can return this $31 Griffin case to Best Buy.

I got the clear finish. Didn't want to alter the clarity.

I just tried my second Spigen and I absolutely nailed it. Perfection.

Doesn't go as wide or low as yours around the curves, but I'm completely satisfied now. I have a Ghost Armor across the street at the mall but I think they'd somehow mess it up or I wouldn't think it was perfect.

If I could guarantee it would look like yours I would do it, but I don't think they could haha. Did that cost about $20?

I paid 23 including tax. If they install it and there ends up being dust or any bubbles remaining after a day or so I can go back and they'll install a new one for free.

Anyone else take a second look at the wrap Apple places on the phone? I just looked at my Gf's and it seems it's the best cut ironically. Minus the home button and speaker cutouts, but the edges reach the curves more and they seem fine

Sorry but AC+ doesn't work like that

Really? Please enlighten me, as I'm entitled to two incidents of accidental damage at $79 each per the program terms. If a scratched/damaged screen doesn't qualify for accidental damage, please tell me what does?

Yes, a few scratches here and there, but we're talking so many that the device's usage is hampered, which is really what I'm using a protector for.
 
I got the Tech Armor HD Clear (iPhone 6). I've always used Power Support Crystal in the past, and since I'm opposed to anti-glare, I went with this. I'm glad they included 3, as I totally screwed up the first one. Installing in a steamy bathroom does help with the dust, I recommend it. Overall, it came out very clean, although it is skewed a bit. If you are used to Power Support Crystal, I think this is a good enough solution.

I took the protector off my 4S 2 years ago and never got a mark on it. I'm going to take the same risk the the 6.

I highly doubt that. It might not have been noticeable from a distance but under a light pretty sure there was micro scratches.

Well, I'm sure if i took an LED and showered it there may be done hairline scratches, but in normal use for a cautious user I couldn't notice any.
