Screen Protector Megathread

[vulcanvillalta]

Clarify- I did remove and install myself.

I was actually referring to the convenience of purchasing them at the retail Apple Store so they would available for my use immediately vs ordering online and waiting a few days to arrive.

Ah, gotcha. I usually order mine well in advance before getting the new phone.

Which screen protector do you use? I see that you have been active in this thread, I'm wondering if you have a particular preference?

I've had the amfilm one mentioned earlier. I think it is really high quality for the price. Looks like right now it's on sale for $1.99

I've used a few different ones. I prefer not the glass, so I've had a few from zagg, amfilm, and tech armor. But Hey, I'm open to options.

Best screen protector that I have ever used it the Spigen Tempered Glass. I love it.

But don't you think that $25 is a little steep?

Here's the no residue product I bought at the Retail Apple Store compared to other places.

http://www.amazon.com/Power-Support-Anti-Glare-iPhone-Japanese/dp/B009G8GYBQ ($13.89)

http://www.powersupportintl.com/Anti-glare-Film-for-iPhone-5s-5c-5-p/upjk-02.htm ($14.95)

Guess, Apple did a little retail markup, but it's only $3.00 for in person convenience.

Interesting. Doesn't have many reviews though. I always support the underdog companies, though.

I've used both zagg and amfilm. Both have been good, but the latter is significantly less expensive.

Is anyone getting a screen protector for the iPhone 6?

My phone was recently replaced, so I had to get a new screen protector.

I opted for the Tech Armor glass for the best balance between name brand support and price. I'm not gonna pay $30 for what I see as a sacrificial item that will likely have to be replaced again.

At .33mm, it's not the thinnest, nor is it the thickest, but the rounded edges are nice.

I hope not to have to test what the "Lifetime" warranty means.

Installation was simple and trouble-free, using the provided wipe/cloth/tape. They don't advocate it, but I think the "hinge" method and some canned air are very worthwhile.
