Where is Cinder?

Looking at the Apple case design guide, there are some very small differences other than thickness. From bottom of phone to center of touch id on 6 is 9.10mm, on 6s its 9.18mm, overall length on 6 is 138.14mm, 6s is 138.29mm. I did not do a full check but will when I get a chance. Is 0.08mm (0.003 inches) going to make a notable difference probably not but interesting to see the full device drawing between the 6 and 6s.

To those with trouble applying these, I have similar 3D screen protector I got from a popular Japanese company a few months ago. The best way to install it is to gently put the protector on your screen and slide it into position.
I just applied my white one to my white 6+ and it was painless. Turned A/C off, turned off bedroom ceiling fan, shut myself in the bathroom (no steam route for me) and it went on perfectly. There was some slight hazing/air I could not squeeze out, but it did say wait 4-48hrs and it should settle itself and clear up. In under an hour it was crystal clear.
Put a Body Glove case on it and order port plugs and I'm good to go.
Unusual observation- the screen actually looks sharper now. I don't know if it's actually sharper or I just think it is, but it is an absolutely well-executed product. Period. The delivery may not be ideal, but the end result = greatness.
My wife got her 6S+ rose gold and an Otterbox with a Zagg glass protector. Once she gets tired of it, we'll get her a Cinder. Looking at the Otterbox, I'm highly confident it will fit. There's enough gap between the case and the phone.
The Cinder feels slippery-smooth. Fingers glide like wet ice on wet ice. This is my first glass screen protector and it was a primo choice for my first time.

As far as alignment on the 6 with black Cinder, the home button, speaker, camera and both sensors line up EXACTLY.
I have a bit of OCD when it comes to installing protectors so I made sure to center the home as well as the speaker during install. The home is easy to center but even if you think the speaker is lined up correctly, you really need to look inside the cutout to the extra little piece of the actual phone that is visible around the inside edge (Cinder is cut just slightly bigger than the actual speaker hole so you have a slight lip showing around the inside of the Cinder speaker hole) Hopefully you can understand what I am trying to say.
Make sure the little "inside lip" is the same width all around. I installed directly under an overhead light to make sure there were no shadows that would prevent a true view. Doing this, with the home button centered, came out looking so exact that people seriously dont think anything is on the phone.
If the 6s is .08 bigger between home and ear speaker as someone posted before, I would assume there will be a slight malalignment (however very negligible) because the black on the 6 is spot on. Best alignment I have ever had with a full screen protector.
Thank you! This seems like a decent price compromise between the imos and the cinder so I might get it. Don't want to give cinder any money.
Decent price? Unless I'm missing something, that says the full coverage screen protector is ¥6,480, which is somewhere in the neighborhood of $55. Is Cinder not $40? I'm confused.
If you convert everything to AUD the price ends up being closer to $75 (before shipping). Cinder comes to about $58, but because they don't actually have international shipping on Amazon I'd have to use a parcel forwarding service so it'd end up being $65 to $70 if I'm lucky. And the imos comes to almost $90 AUD. It's all much of a muchness from my point of view. Still got my fingers crossed for a truly affordable alternative but I can't keep my phone in its box forever.
Well all of spigens new cases cause my cinder to lift, so theres that, still love it though! fits well inside of my sector pro.
My 6s is unable to have this installed properly. Either the bottom left corner won't adhere or the entire thing is off-center. I've asked Cinder for a replacement.
EDIT: It's the 6S. It doesn't fit properly. Tried a family member's 6 and it's perfect.

Then I checked my Paypal again and it appears that I can escalade the dispute to Paypal claim. Should I do so?

@astoxos
I would contact Cupert to ask for a refund in this case before you escalate the dispute.
But @charis1113 asked for a refund, was answered in a rude way and is waiting for a promised refund for weeks.

The home button hole is a hair's width off as is the camera; however, the ambient sensor (the hole middle, above the speaker is spot-on). It is perfectly centered as the minute space at the bottom of the home button and the camera are at the very bottom of both spots. It's not like it's the slightest bit crooked. It's noticeable cos it's mine. If I showed it to some random people, they wouldn't notice it at all. I'm OCD about a great many things, but this certainly doesn't bother me in the least.
I gave up on my spigens rugged capsule. It seemed loose and made the cinder lift. The cinder on my 6s works fine without a case.
FYI, there is a new version of the Imos--it is supposed to have an improved adhesive and be thinner than the old one (.4 instead of .55mm). I'll be receiving a review sample tomorrow for the 6s Plus and will post my review soon.

Came across a YouTube review of yours (I'm assuming) this morning and connected the dots. The smallness of the world is funny at times. Cheers.
