$35 is ridiculous for a screen protector.
I don't understand what the big deal with fingerprints on the screen is. It's a phone. You touch it. It gets finger prints. I don't really care that my phone gets finger prints on it, I just wipe it off and it looks good as new.

$35 is a bit much but I think it's more to do with scratches than fingerprints.
[doublepost=1455561325][/doublepost]I had the Belkin InvisiGlass Screen Protector put on my 6S yesterday at the Apple store and so far I LOVE it. The machine perfectly aligned it and there are absolutely no bubbles and no lifting on either side. Honestly, it feels like there's nothing on my screen.
I just got it done today and it's pretty amazing! The install went smooth although the guy installing it had to watch a video on his iPad to figure out how to install. The protector itself feels a bit thicker than the Belkin invisiglass they sell in the retail package and the cutouts are tighter! On top of that it feels just like a tempered glass protector. Can't say enough good things about it!
I do really like this screen protector except for two things.
1. The edges are fairly sharp. It would be much nicer if they were slightly beveled.
2. It seems to scratch fairly easily. After only a week it has a few micro-scratches. It doesn't bother me too much as that is one of the main reason I use a SP.
When I get the iPhone 7 I'll get a warranty replacement and see if Apple will use the machine to put it on. I don't think they will though. I think what they'll do is send me a do it yourself kit. I wonder if that kit does as good a job of lining it up.

Just had it installed at the Apple Store here in Canada on my 6+. Fantastic service and very impressed with the product. I previously had the InvisibleShield Glass which cracked at the edge for some reason.
We got the belkin invisiglass from Apple Store for my bf's black iPhone 6s. It has a set of toolkit including the align frame, so I can easily apply it on the phone by myself. Then soon later I went to Apple Store to get the ScreenCare+ for my white phone. The differences between them: ScreenCare+ is slightly thicker, has more coverage(around home key and earpiece) than InvisiGlass. Please refer to the pics.

No not at all, if one thing it still feels close to using your phone as is.
I've had my ScreenCare+ installed last week and your white iPhone looks totally misaligned. I would take that back to Apple and have that reinstalled.
You really should go back to the Apple Store and have them reinstall the SP on the white phone. They did a terrible job. The cutouts are not lined up at all. It looks as though the cutout bisects the front facing camera and the speaker is almost covered. My install is lined up perfectly. I was reading the instructions to employees for doing these Belkin installs (somewhere, but I forget where) and it says if there is any problems it should be removed and replaced.
I have heard about this thing and just went to the apple store to give this a try. I ask the lady and the lady did not know what I was talking about and thought I was talking about the Applecare Plus. I had to re-iterate to her that it's a new thing done by Belkin. She still did not know and I said I would show her what I am talking about on the computer.
Luckily one of the guy next to her knew what I was talking about so he rang out out and have had one of the person at the setup station do the installation. Installation went pretty smooth, perfectly aligned and no dust or foreign particles in it. I'm very impressed. Though Belkin isn't my #1 go to but so far they have done it.

It's not misaligned, I the silver iphone and it's just the angle. Because the white
True story!
Love the perfect alignment and it definitely looks to be on the low end of the "noticeable" spectrum for a non-E2E screen protector. Anyone else struggle with how this looks on the blacked-out face of the SG iPhone though? I would do this in a heartbeat on white..
Even though I have invisishield in there installed but I barely notice it that I even have it on. It's as if I'm using it naked. It is a lot thinner than other glass protector I've seen on the market.Even when the screen is on, it's barely noticeable. Plus side is no more rainbow effect on the edges.
I've always used screen protectors since my iPhone 3G. I've always gone for the anti-glare PowerSupport but I was tempted when I saw this on a mate's iP6+ so I had it fitted by Apple. £20 and ten minutes using a machine that looks like a George Foreman grill. The result was 100% perfect and I've been hugely impressed... except that one month in I've started to notice slight "misting" patches where I touch the screen most - middle two-thirds up (where Google Search box comes up) and an area on the RHS from the bottom to the top where I swipe up with my thumb to close down apps etc. My guess is that it's some kind of coating that's wearing off. It's not serious and it can be buffed out but it re-appears quickly. You can only see it in certain light... but it's doing my head in! My mate's is still perfect (but I've asked him to have a closer look) so maybe it's mine that's faulty. Going to go back to Apple in Birmingham and I'm sure they'll offer to replace it, but I think I'm going back to PowerSupport.
Sorry to hijack for a moment..
Went to Verizon and the guy there was super nice and manually installed a screen protector. Did it for me for $10 - so, can't complain - however, could someone comment on cheap vs expensive glass and their coatings, adhesion, etc?
This looked absolutely perfect at first - but about a month later and I have the "rainbow-ing"/peeling thing going on and it seems as though it grabs oils and won't let go (always smudged).
Are the more expensive glasses much better in those ways? Intrigued by companies who offer lifetime warranty for when those kinds of things happen, if they do.

AFAIK most of them are made from the same material, though mine was also bought since release date and still looks perfect. I bought mine from Tech Armor if that helps.
Interesting.
Very curious to know what the deal is then.
To be honest - never had a problem up until when Apple replaced my screen.
After the screen replacement - I cannot get a glass screen protector to stay adhered all the way around the perimeter of the protector. It inevitably begins to peel and have a hazy rainbow look - worst of all is in the bottom corners. Odd.
I had bought a 20pack (for $18) of screen protectors from eBay a while back. Install was perfect and I REALLY liked them. Great coating, didn't scratch easily. After a couple months I noticed a couple micro scratches so since I had so many I replaced it. This one also went on perfect. Again after a few months and a coupe micro scratches I decided it's time to do another replacement. This time the edges won't stay down and I get a halo. I thought maybe it was a defective screen so I ended up going through 10 more. Obviously not the screen protectors fault. Since then I have not been able to get one to stick EXCEPT for the Apple installed Belkin. That is the ONLY reason I have it installed. Otherwise it's not really a very good protector.
Pros:
Very thin
Perfect alignment
Minimal cutouts
Cons:
Scratches VERY easily
Sharp edges (not rounded at all)
