I've bought the Bodyguardz iPhone 6 plus full body set from a retailer in Holland because of the shipping time it needs to Holland from Bodyguardz.com
I've got my iPhone 6 Plus yesterday and would like to protect it to any scratches or damage from day one.
The package looks nice and includes the needed tools to get the screen protector on as nice as possible.
I followed the included manual precisely. But at the first step of mounting the back protector i already experienced problems with it.
The manual is based on iPhone 5(s) and not on iPhone 6 (plus) so it was not concrete enough to get enough information how to fit the iPhone 6 (plus) protector the best way. If you search on the internet, there is really nothing to find about it, no youtube demonstration, reviews or other kind of information about this exact protector for the iPhone 6.
For me this was a kind of annoying, i had to try it myself.
I can't do any mistakes because the kit now only consists one set of protectors in stead of 2 sets in the previous kits for iPhone 5/s/c and other like phones.
The problems i experienced where mainly because of the sides of the iPhone 6 (plus) protector. At first you have to get the protector al covered in the included gel with the kit. When ready you put it on the back of the iPhone 6 plus and your able to align it for about 30 minutes, so time enough for correcting any mistakes or places where it not fits right at the moment.
The thing is though, the sides of the protector have to be bent with the rond edges of the iPhone 6 (plus), here came the problems.
The sides won't stick to it at all, even if you hold it to the edges of the iPhone 6 (plus) for about 5 minutes, it simply pops of.
There simply wasn't any way to get them sticked on the edges of the iPhone 6 (plus).
At the end i let the gel dry for about one hour and after this, pull of the protection of protector. After this, i was able to stick the sides of the protector to the edges of the iPhone 6 (plus) but now i have some air bubbles and little dust pieces on it witch i can't remove anymore the only option is to pull the protector of a little to the air bubbles and strike it on again. But you keep seeing the place of the bubble in the protector for ever.
After letting the back dry for a night, i put on the screen protector. This was a lot more easy. The only thing now was, the alcohol like cleaning cloth witch is includes in the kit was almost dry because of the long periode i had to wait befor i could put on the screen protector, so good cleaning of the screen like i did with the back, was impossible. I cleaned the iPhone 6 (plus) screen with a microfiber cloth and some glass cleaner. I again dropped about 3 drops of gel op the protector and spread it among the protector with my washed hands.
After this is put it on and it fits fairly easy on the screen. i removed all the bubbles and incorrections i could see with the protection still on the protector.
I let it dry for about 30 minutes and then pulled off the protector. The protector again was not smooth on the iPhone 6 (plus) screen and had some little dust between the iPhone 6 (plus) screen and the protector. This was likely because the glass cleaner makes the iPhone a little static, so if there is just a little dust in the air, it sucks it to it and it sticks on the iPhone 6 (plus) screen.
Now i'm seeing some little dust in my screen if i have my iPhone turned on.
This is really annoying with a beautiful screen like the iPhone 6 (plus) you see dust on it witch isn't removable.
A few things a like to add are:
- The photo's on the product page of the Bodyguardz Ultra Tough clear skin iPhone 6 (plus) product doesn't compare to the actually product. The actually product is not covering the whole iPhone 6 like it does on the photo's on the product page. (see the included photo's)
- The kit consists only one set of protectors, in stead of two sets witch are in the iPhone 5/s/c kits and other devices kits.
The price is still the same though.
The reason of this should be the better quality they achieved with the new protector. In my opinion this is nonsens, because of the fairly big issues i've experienced with the iPhone 6 (plus) full body protection kit.
- I've got my kit of a reseller, because i'm not living in the USA. otherwise i probably had to wait about 30 days till i got it. With a brand new iPhone 6 (plus) this would be to long for me.
The surprising thing about this is, the only option for 30-day money back is if you buy your kit on Bodyguardz.com. If your buy from a reseller, you won't got any money back.
Conclusion
The protection kit is nice and will protect the iPhone 6 (plus) on the main spaces. On the edges you have no protection at all, this is very pity. The protector won't fit all the back of the iPhone 6 (plus) even. The kit looks like it has been in the dryer with a to warm temperature and shrank. It just not fit that nice you would expect.
The price is a bit high for the faults on this kit especially because you get only one set of protectors.
If i had a second change, i would not buy this kit anymore.
