I completed my installation of a dbrand skin and the icarez 3d full front (not case friendly) glass protector. I've included some pictures so you can see coverage of the glass protector and the skin.
The icarez glass protector I bought was the below one, since there is some lack of clarity about their product line:

I installed the dbrand skin first so I was unable to use the tray for the screen protector install. The extra width of the skin made the phone too large to fit in the install tray without popping out. Fortunately with a steady hand and a lot of patience I was able to get a good alignment with several restarts in about 10 minutes before getting comfortable with the alignment to place the protector down on the screen. For $17 for a two pack that get out all the way to the edge of the front glass it's a great deal. The screen clarity is unaffected. I wouldn't purchase a more expensive one. The recommendations in this thread for the icarez is spot on. I'm glad I found this thread and became aware of them.
The skin install was very time intensive but all things considered I was pleased with the outcome. Application was certainly easier than the wet apply ones that were the only ones available in the iPhone 3GS and before days. The corner flaps take a long time to get right and mine aren't perfect, as you can see in the pictures. But it's good enough. The flaps are noticeable when you come across them while holding, picking up or touching the phone, but it's not unpleasant (at least to me). Dbrand says that the black dragon skin that I bought is "super-grippy" or whatever they claim, but I don't find that to be the case. It's textured, yes, but I wouldn't say grippy. That said, I like the texture.
I used my iPhone 6 for 3+ years naked, so I was a little rusty applying the protector and skin, but as long as you budget for a lot of time and patience it can be done well. It's never as easy as the videos make it out to be, but that's marketing! I really wanted to use the X naked too but the glass back (along with the exorbitant repair cost) and the reporting of surface scratching on the screen had me considering alternatives. Cases don't appeal to me and I was already sensitive of the extra width of the X as compared to 6.
I don't know how the pictures will come out as I only took them with the camera on the 6, and whether you'll be able to tell where the icarez and dbrand extend to, but hopefully it will help others in decision making. I recommend both.
Edit: Too many pictures. This post will have ones primarily showing the screen protector.
