Slim Case + Benks = My perfect setup

So today I got my Benks Pro .20 white screen protector for my white/silver iPhone 6 Plus. First of all , my husband was not impressed. Not with this particular screen protector but just the fact that again I have bought another screen protector. He told me that I must have spent $400 on screen protectors #. Truly an exaggeration but I have tried so many that I've lost track. And before reading this post, I was thoroughly satisfied with my MIME .15 feather glass screen protector. It was the typical glass case friendly protector but felt good and I had perfect install. The only minor gripe I had was that my cleaning cloth would catch the top edges of the glass where the protector had the cutout at the top. So I had to be careful - but still no biggie and very satisfied.

When I saw the wonderful photos of this screen protector ( thanks to the OP), I knew I had to get one. The protector looked nice and slim and so great to see a glass screen protector that actually fits the screen but could be used with my beloved Apple silicone case.

So off to do the steamy bathroom with all my paraphernalia to do the install. It pretty much installed the same as any other glass protector - get the phone completely dust free and for me, I use tape on both ends to hold while I get a precise alignment so not to touch the edges with my fingers. I've found if my fingers even touch the slightest bit, I'll have an edge that doesn't stay completely flat. I did get a prefect alignment with the Benks but I do have a couple of microscopic dots underneath - not enough to drive even an anal person like me to redo.

I love this screen protector!!!####. It is exactly what I've been looking for.

Thanks again to the OP for such a detailed review and photos.
 
Someone else asked if the edges on this are curved. As the OP answered this protector doesn't curve around the glass curved edges of the phone. But it surely seems like the edges of the Benks itself are curved or somewhat beveled as you don't feel a hard edge either at the home button or the edges themselves.

Thank you for the answer.. .
You said that I can choose the 0,15mm one for my Ringke Fusion but I saw that this is not with the edge coloured (black or white) and then not "edge to edge", it's right?
Maybe can I opt for the 0,20mm? This cover is very good but I have many problems for compatibility :(

Which a perfect install you might be able to get away with it. For example, my zoogue fit with my installation. For another user, it wouldnt work because they have a slightly slanted install. So thats also another factor

No problem! Im glad you loved the setup, it is a very nice protector indeed
 
I think I will buy the unique pro 0,20mm black. In the official website isn't available now, do you know if they sell it in other place? (eBay Amazon ecc) thank you so much

They estimated new stock available 4/10, but looks like it hasn't come in yet. FYI the new stock is going to not have the white outline on the screen, so it's worth waiting another couple days for.
 
Did anyone test the benks 0.2 yet with the SPIGEN iPhone 6 Case Ultra Hybrid (4.7)?

Is there any clear TPU case which works with the benks 0.2? I am surprised benks doesn't offer one which fits. I would buy it right away. Otherwise I will get a Cinder SP (when available) and let my benks 0.2 retire.
 
Argh this SP looks so sick, really want to try it but I'd be wasting my Spigen Glass which I just put on:( third world problems
