Where is Cinder?

ThunderApple said:
Installed it today. Used the shower steam trick and I managed to align it perfectly the first time. Zero dust.

There was a bunch of haze spots all around the corners and I thought I messed up the adhesive when using the steam trick. Left the phone sitting in the sun and then just pressed the haze out. Screen is 100% dust and haze free.

Absolutely loving it so far. By far the best glass protector. Even works with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid, which I thought it wouldn't. Screen feels smoother than the stock coating.

Will have a photo review up tomorrow. Am very pleased so far.

I had the same issue with some bubbles on the corners. I thought the adhesive was messed up but I just let the phone sit over night and rubbed them out with the micro fiber cloth and boom perfect alignment.

I know it's been a long and tedious process to get the protector but I can safely say it was worth the wait. Best screen protector I've ever used.
 
A friend of mine still has no shipping number. After each email they are replying with, "in one to two weeks". Now it has been 6 weeks and still nothing. Just great.

I just bought two of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010ALZ4LS from Amazon. Look very similar. The cost is very different. Will come back and check in with thread when I receive shipment and install.

2.5D is just a flat piece of glass. The edges are tapered instead of square. It is a marketing ploy. The best we had until IMOS and Cinder and link just posted actually CURVED the edges of the glass to fit the curved screen of the iPhone like a contact lens on the eye.

Apple must have exacting standards, as we would expect, as you would think that hard glass may not fit every phone, but they appear to...

Thanks for the info. That's disappointing, as the product description says, "Full Cover Version: iPhone 6 Screen Protector will precisely fit the screen of your device, providing superior, edge-to-edge coverage for maximum protection."

I'll see what it's like when it arrives.

Ordered via Amazon yesterday. Loos like I wasn't alone as shipping has been pushed back a bit now.

My black for 6s+ is supposed to deliver on 9/30. We'll see.

I did too, ordered a black and white for the + via prime scheduled to be delivered Monday. Luckily Monday is the day our SG and RG 6S+ will finally arrive so I will put the Cinder on straight out of the box. Will update after.

As pocketdoc mentioned, it's a flat piece of glass. Since it does not curve, there will be a gap between the protector and your screen at the edges. See the photo below for "full cover version".

Yeah its a mess. I of course just bought off amazon cinder 6s black but will take 2 weeks. Here is another tidbit that Cupert dont realise. They probably figured they will save money by having the product manufactured in China... big mistake. They are known to copy, steal ideas and sell it under the table. Cupert already stumbled. And from the alternate links above.. I bet those are exact products but different name. And I doubt they have the funds to pursue them legally. Wait a few and watch the copies flood the market.

Still waiting on my Indigogo Cinder.

Does anyone that has gotten a Cinder checked its thickness via a caliper? It seems like there are a lot of screen protectors that have surfaced recently that have similar designs to the Cinder, but they all seem to list different thicknesses. One from aliexpress earlier says its .19mm, but lists a hardness of "over 4h" while the ones on amazon list range from .3 to .4 but all list a hardness of 9h.

That statement is not a lie. It does "cover" the entire screen. Most of the 2.5 D SPs (I believe) will overlap and have a gap under the edge. It is really difficult, if not impossible, to use them without a case to protect the edges. As you can imagine, just a little pressure on the overhang will crack the SP.

They work just fine with a suitable case to protect the edges.



Why do all of these, including Cinder's, have painted edges? Is that because you don't get complete adhesion at the very edge and it covers that? IDK. Some of the cheaper ones can actually get in the way of swiping up if you aren't careful (to open CC)

Can you post some pics?

Do you think it will work with the Apple Leather case?

That does look nice!



Anyone want to buy some black 6/6S or Plus Cinders? I have 2 or 3 of each, depending on how many I want to part with and how much you offer. I just got my gold 6S Plus, so I need white Cinders (ordered off Amazon)

PM me if interested. I am in the US

How much for all of the black 6S Plus one?
 
quantity said:
Straight from the manufacturer. Exact same screen protector as Cinder. I have both, I guess Cupert Technology is better at marketing but terrible liars, won't support them again.

Thank you! I just followed your advice and ordered two of them for a total of $45. It looks like it'll be a bit befor they get here, but that's fine. Thanks for saving me $35!
