Have others had to reset face id? Any noticeable distortion using the front camera for selfies?
Haven’t read or heard others needing to reset Face ID. No noticeable distortion with front camera. Issue could have been with dot projector or just a one off thing.
Is the black border / edge above the Face ID sensor sealed / adheres to the screen? The issue I have with another brand protector is that the top edge does not adhere to the screen, you could slide a piece of paper in there and what happens is that dust starts to collect in that little "window" that is impossible to get back out and starts to diminish the performance of Face ID.
It took a few days for this to happen btw, would be great to get your impression of the screen protector after the break in period to see if dust is collecting there or not.

so
hows the oleophobic coating does it attract fingerprint and smudges easily?

That’s lucky, perhaps there is slight variation when manufacturing the tempered glass, so some won’t have the rainbow effect as it covers pass the edge of the display while some are on the edge of the display causing the rainbow effect.
Thinking about picking this one up now with all these recs. Been hearing it is a hassle to install though.
What is the advantage to the black bezel versus just an all clear protector? Also, can you remove/install cases without impacting the screen protector?
no but need to be careful not to cover dot projector. The screen protector black bezels are not perfectly straight and don't line up 100% with the phones bezels.

I think if it was all clear, the area under the black bezel would not properly adhere due to the small curve. Im pretty sure the bezel area isn't adhered the same as the middle part. If we could adhere the bezel part with just clear glass I think someone would have done it.
Yes, the entire glass is sealed against the screen. The black border comes up just to where the screen curves and my case takes over from there. The only place I can see dust or lint accumulating is the speaker hole, but no way to prevent that given that needs to be open.
The glass seems to ward off fingerprints very well. It also has a great slick feeling -- like actual glass. I bought a screen protector for my iPad Pro a few months ago and the glass felt like plastic -- grippy, not smooth, which, of course, makes it hard to use gestures. That protector was also fingerprint magnet despite being advertised as "oleophopic." But silly to put any trust in claims from discount no-name Chinese crap like this so there is that. But so far (less than 24hrs at this point) the iCarez is the oppose of that one and a really bargain at 2 for $8 shipped (with Prime).
Thanks for the review, much appreciated. Anyone know why there is a small see through cut out just above the speaker cut out? The black border seems thinner there and I'm worried that will show when the protector is installed?
TIA

Anyone using the iCarez and going caseless? If so, how does the phone feel in hand. I installed the i-Blason protector yesterday. It installed perfectly, no bubbles, etc. However, by the end of the day I ripped it off because the edge of the protector was so obvious when holding the phone.
Yes, but you probably don't have to get more than 1 screen protector. Get one and be happy with it.
Waiting for pictures and reviews. Haha.. I thought I was crazy to spend 30 over for a screen protector for my 6s+ now there's something cost almost double.
I had terrible experiences with the imos on my 7 plus. Went through three different pieces of glass from them and all of them left a large bubble down the right side of the protector. I've been installing these things for years and know what I'm doing. My speculation is that imos glass fits so precisely that if there is any variation with a specific iPhone (either from the factory or caused by the user), you simply cannot get a decent install.
The company was okay to work; they did several exchanges and finally issued a refund, but it was a huge hassle.

Yeah, it's a trick of the light. Kind of like when flash photography exposes a women's top even though her top is not see-though. For whatever reason the area above the speaker bar is a lighter shade of black but it's full glass. The only cut out is the speaker hole and it's surrounded by glass.
Could we get some pics? So the little sensor is prone to getting dust on the inside? Did you try sliding a peice of paper underneath to see if there is a gap?
