Do you live in Canada? I can't seem to find a US seller, and have no idea how to read Taiwanese on the imos site
Got a tip for us?

There are only versions.
The old thicker version for the old iPhone 6 /iPhone 6 Plus
The new slimmer version for the new iPhone 6s / iPhone 6s Plus
If the box mentions that it is for iPhone 6s then you have the new version.
Did you also get the ring for the home button?
I just installed my first glass screen protector and really like it. I used to not use anything to power support plastic films to cheal eBay films and snagged a deal on amazon for a 2pk for $.99 (now $7 I believe). one came broken but installed the other just perfect. the seller is shipping me a brand new set. I really like the glass protector. smooth scrolling.
I am in Hong Kong and the stores let us choose the colors we like. I have the space grey phone so i chose the gold ring to give it a contrast and elegant look. I also got the gold sapphire glass lens for the camera to match.
I am assuming you have the rose gold phone so your options would have been white or pink if you had to make a choice.

Do you ship to the US? Hahaha... But seriously would love to do the screen protector with the gold ring
Nice! I do indeed have a Rose Gold iPhone, you are right. So, is Imos the most popular choice in Hong Kong?
Well iMos has a very good name in Hong Kong. When we go to any shop and ask them which is the best, they will suggest iMos but we also know that iMos products are expensive. Most go ahead with iMos because we believe that since we are spending so much on a phone, might as well spend a little more for a quality product.
Other brands available are SGP, Armorz, AT, Joker, Power Support, Capdase, Momex and some other brands from Japan and China. Alot of options to fit ones budget.
I am using the Powersupport Smoke Matte Air Jacket. It is a limited edition model which is not on their site.

Very nice and slim case. The SGP cases are bulky and makes it even more uncomfortable to hold the iPhone 6s Plus.
I got the iMos screen protector at Mong Kok Sintat. The apple store in Hong Kong doesn't sell it and the guys at the Apple Store don't know how to install a screen protector.
The guys at Sintat are amazing and very professional. I got everything from one shop.
Are you using a skin on the back as well? I always liked those super lightweight cases (Shumuri, Caudabe, Power Support, etc) but assumed they wouldn't fit with a back skin on (which I like to have since sometimes I go caseless).
I just installed this one on my phone. Made with Corning Gorilla Glass and also the thinnest tempered glass protector at only .1mm. Can barely feel a lip by Touch ID. Love it.

Waiting on my Daswise Edge-to-Edge to arrive, so will check back with a full experience review!
Right now I have on a Spigen glasTRslim and it's actually not that bad. Good with sensitivity and keeping off fingerprints.

Wow - nice. Where did you get that? Says it's not in on Amazon until 10/2?
TIA!
I bought it from Amazon last week when it was in stock. I will say that the edges are like the Zagg where it doesnt adhere as I would like it too. But it is crazy how thin it is. I will post a picture later.
I also ordered the dagwise while I want for Cinder or Godosmith ice Max to become available for 6s plus
Yeah I'm also waiting for Cinder to become available. It's pricey but I like all the specs and reviews that I've seen.
Won't be up for order until October 15th on Amazon.
Oh man. I'm gutted. I thought for sure this would be the one where the edges would stick. Would love to see that pic.
Rats.
Just installed the Daswise Edge-to-Edge. So far so good! It fits with my Tech21 Evo Mesh Sport and no issues with bubbles or gaps thanks to good instructions.
Temporary until Cinder is available but I'm happy with it.

Wow! Can you post a pic? I'm pretty good at installing these things. I wonder how I ended up with such bad air pockets on the side?Just installed the Daswise Edge-to-Edge. So far so good! It fits with my Tech21 Evo Mesh Sport and no issues with bubbles or gaps thanks to good instructions.

Anyone know anything about the supposed UV/blue light protection? I've heard some screen protectors block out the wavelengths that are harmful to your brain and make it harder to fall asleep. I'd be interested in one of the glass ones that includes that as long as it doesn't mess up the quality of the screen's image.
I've never been a fan of screen protectors, but I've only ever had plastic ones. I hear the glass ones are much better but the thing that concerns me about the glass ones is they seem to require some kind of glue? I really don't want to do something that'll require some sort of extensive cleaning to get glue off of the original screen down the line... I'd love to keep going front-naked on my phone (I do like the Apple leather case) but I just got a new 6S Plus that I'm making a hefty monthly payment for and I don't want to be OCD about always keeping a big buffer zone between my keys and my phone. As we know, going about your normal day... I've always wound up with microscratches on past phones and I'd like to avoid that this time around so I can have a smooth trade-in for the iPhone 7, should I decide to go that route.

I am OCD to the highest degree with my Apple stuff so I hear you!
Actually it was a little crooked the first time I did it (and we're talking by 0.5mm maybe) so I lifted and redid it using tweezers and a dust free environment. Stayed great! Here are a few pics:
