I would normally agree with you, especially on price but this thing is PRECISE, I think if they continue to offer this service with upcoming iPhones then they have a customer for life.

Great concept and idea. The problem is the type of screen protector they are using. Unless it's changed; the Belkin one I bought from the Apple Store in September for my 6S wasn't really that great. It scratched up very easily.
The "flawless installation" for me, I am ocd and it is absolutely perfect. Also this is the thinnest glass protector I've used, I honestly can't stand the way thicker glass protectors make the home button feel.
so it is the glass one? the 9H tempered screen protector the one that shatters and saves your phone if it drops a certain way?
That's fair.
Id be the guy asking for a re-do if there was a piece of lint or a bubble for $38 though lol
From what I understand they will reapply a new one if there are any flaws... The way the application process works I don't see any way for dust to ruin the install.
Trust me I'm the same way.. I was hesitant to let someone else apply a protector on my phone but an Apple employee showed me his phone and I was sold.
Do you know how thin is the screen protector? That would actually interest me but right now I have the TechArmor .2 mm Tempered Glass screen protector and it´s pretty good-
Can you post a couple pictures of your phone with the protector installed?
First rep I asked told me they just pull them off the wall. I knew that wasn't right. Second rep said they were different from the wall packages but didn't offer any warranty or reapply from Apple. He had one on his phone and it was already pealing up at the top speaker. Fine for most but too OCD for me.
The reps phone I saw was perfect, mine is still perfect 48 hours later, will update if that changes but don't anticipate it.
My new Godosmith IceMax was giving me fit problems with the bumper I use and I've been having problems with all the non e2e SP's I've used lately.
I thought I'd give Apple/Belkin a try. I figured if the machine can't do it then it won't happen.
It went on without issue.
It's by far the thinnest SP I've used. The only thing negative I have to say about it is that the edges are not beveled. I assume that's because it's so thin.

Personally I like thin.
Also my opinion on protection is that non edge to edge glass screen protectors do little in real world drop protection. Most likely the phone will hit a corner and if that happens the corner glass that's not covered will break.
As far as straight on hit protection like the hammer test you always see, I don't think that's a very likely type of risk.
The only reason I have always used glass screen protectors is to guard against scratches (especially micro scratches).
