To tempered glass screen protector or not?

If you line it up perfectly, and I mean perfectly, it goes exactly to the edge of the screen on both sides. So yes, it is flat.
I have the Spigen one that others have mentioned. This is the first time I've had a tempered glass one. It's sort of weird that there's a gap between the case and edge of the screen protector but I'm assuming that's because they would rub and it cause bubbles.
I do think that it interferes with the multitasking gesture where you can pull the app from the side. Since it ends perfectly at the edge of screen then it's sort of hard to catch the 3D touch there. That may just be me getting used to the phone so it's sort of unappealing to run my finger against the edge.

The Zagg has an oil-resistant coating on it. I have one on my 6s and I'm loving the less smudgy screen.
I put on a tempered glass screen protector even before turning on the phone for the first time. With my case on, you can't even tell that it's there. I bought one from Amazon that covers the front completely. It's 0.33 mm so it's 0.03 mm over the recommended thickness but it hasn't affected 3D Touch at all.

I bought a Belkin Iris invisiglass S/P from the Apple Store and was pleasantly surprised. It's not tempered, but very thin glass at
.02mm. So far so good.

This one is better and thinner:

I am currently using possibly the best glass screen protector for the iPhone 6 / iPhone 6s

Works great with 3D Touch and the quality is amazing. I am using the gold ring with my Steel grey iphone 6S Plus. Gives it a special look. I also got the gold sapphire glass lens ring for my iPhone 6s Plus.

The only thing is that you won't be able to use the apple leather case or the silicone case with this glass protector.

Went with the same. Easily installed, they have a great "feel", super clear, and 3 for $6.95 is hard to beat. With the Spigen Hybrid, just a tiny 1mm-ish gap is not protected, but that case has a nice wrap around so the front won't contact - at least a flat - surface directly.
Are you referring to this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EL93W1U/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A389UX2GHRBG9
May go with this to since I'll be returning my Spigen...bubble up all around the sides.

Yep! That's the product, in fact, Amazon was nice enough to tell me "You purchased this item on September 22, 2015."
Got them for both our phones (6S and 6S+), and I've previously used Tech Armor on our iPad Mini 2, looks great after a year.

You keep linking to that protector which has been OOS for a while, even on the manufacturer's site.
And if you search here for Benks, there are a few complaints about their (nonexistent) customer service.

Was about to get those but then went with another brand (probably same quality though) because the other one offered to get it here tomorrow with Prime.

Does it adhere to the sides properly? All of the glass I've used has long air bubbles down all the sides of the screen and won't push down / adhere. Figured I'd give normal screen protectors a try.

Don't know how well you can make it out (shot this earlier to show the case):
It's pretty smooth and bubble free (and I'm not the best installer)

Looks good to me
I'm referring to this "halo effect" of the screen protector...found this picture on Google as an example. It's happened with every glass protector I've tried thus far so hopefully normal screen protectors don't have the same issue.

Oh yeah, I've never seen that with these Tech Armor protectors, even on the larger displays on iPads. I mean, on my 6S Plus you can barely tell there's any kind of screen protector. I tried some wet application protectors a few phones ago, and they were a little "gummy", these are smooth and slick like the factory glass.
Awesome, thanks. Assuming (and hoping) the ones I ordered will adhere the same. Will report back!

What case is that?

I just put the .4 mm version of the Imos on my iPhone 6s Plus--quite impressed so far...
