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.

I am starting to get this now also right where I usually scroll up and down.
Has anyone had Apple do a replacement install with the lifetime warranty? At some point I'm going to as mine is really scratched up.

I too have this issue. The protector is wearing off where the screen is being touched the most. Looks really bad.

Any luck with Apple replacing it?
 
I love tech armor but this time using Max boost and I'll tell u- I think I love it more! It's going on month 3 looks perfect like day 1- no joking.
I have a tech armor in my drawer waiting for when this cracks- amazing (tempered glass this is)
Both have warranty - they ship it right to you.
I grab everything on Amazon- so finding the buying code is simple
 
Apparently not many folks are using this service, as the thread is for pics and there less than 1/2 a dozen examples in 4 pages.

I'm ashamed to say I couldn't be bothered and wrote it off to experience. I thought if it happened once it's going to happen again so I replaced it with my favourite PowerSupport anti-glare (pack of two for £14.95) which I had in stock. BTW the Belkin one came off very easily without cracking.
 
I've never had a screen protector, but was at the apple store and decided to get the Belkin AntiGlare on my 6S Plus. Installation was flawless, not a single bubble and precision aligned. The employee took her time cleaning my phone making sure no smudges or dust got there, i was very pleased.

The protector itself works as intended. reduced glare at the expense of a little bit of reduced clarity. Will see if I get used to it, gotta say I love how it repels my greasy fingerprints, screen looks so clean haha

Any chance you could post some pics of the anti-glare version? Can't find anything online!

Not really representative of how it looks in real life, but it looks great and repels fingerprints mostly. I like it a lot. Ironically, some glare in the pic although not in real life, haha.

I just talked to a store manager at an Apple Store (Manhattan Beach) and they said warranty replacement is not handled by Apple, it is on Belkin. I just DM'd Belkin so we'll see what they say. Overall I'd say this SP is NOT worth it at all.
 
Yes, replacement is handled by Belkin. So, you won't put it on as good as Apple does the first time.

Do you remember how much it cost to have Apple install it?
 
I have replacement from Belkin on its way. I'm curious to see if it's the exact same screen protector as the Apple installed one (same cutouts, same close fit around home button).

Thanks for posting these! I'm tempted to try it (looks great an your white-face/silver iPhone) but can't decide if I will like the anti-glare cutting up my black/space gray iPhone. I'm starting to think no screen protector will look good on black!

Unless it's an edge to edge one.
