Thanks! Yes, I've reviewed the Cinder (twice), and the Imos and various other edge to edge and non edge to edge screen protectors. I'll be interested in seeing what Imos has come up with...
Got a tip for us?

Where is Cinder?

In your opinion, taking into account installation, durability, and over all product quality, which one would you say is the best? if cost isnt a factor. Why?
Imos and Cinder are the only screen protectors which I have reviewed which have utilized curved glass edge technology. Other screen protectors that I have tested may have had curved edges, but they were made of some other material which was fused to the tempered glass. From what I have read in this thread, there may be other manufacturers making tempered glass screen protectors with curved edges now, but I haven't had the opportunity to review them. So, between Cinder and Imos, Cinder is definitely thinner and will fit with more cases. Cinder used to be .2 mm, now it may be as thin as .18 mm, but I haven't actually tested out that version. Imos used to be much thicker, at .55 mm, but the new version is only .4 mm, so that should be much better. The last time I reviewed them head to head, Cinder was the winner due to its better edge curvature, thinness and ease of install (it had a better adhesive). However, with its new adhesive and other feature re-designs, Imos may be a much stronger contender. I look forward to getting it tomorrow!
Well received my two Cinders from Amazon and I'm blown away. Excellent application and unmatched appearance and adhesion. I'm attaching a photo with my new 6S+ and Apple silicone case. You can't even tell there is a protector and the case overlaps it ever so slightly.
I know this company has really failed at delivery but it will be worth the wait folks! I'm impressed!

How's the fitting between the camera/ambient sensors and home button?...a bit off-ish or perfectly aligned?

Alrite guys, I think I'm going to try this "re-usable" feature that CINDER claims.
I bought a 6s+ and applied a CINDER to it not realizing that it has a defective battery so I just bought another 6s+ to test the battery and so far it looks as though the new 6s+ is holding up a lot better than the original one I got.
So I'm going to take off the CINDER on the original and put it on the new 6s+ either today or tomorrow and will let you guys know how that goes!

Honestly if I'm being OCD it is just a tiny hair misaligned. It is barely noticeable on the white one I applied to my wife's phone and not even noticeable on my black Cinder due to the black on black. It really is a non issue in my opinion.
So my Cinder came in the mail from Amazon. Man the thick plastic backing on the screen protector was a bit hard to get off and the installation was a bit frustrating due to bubbles but I was able get rid of all of them and it came out great. As for the sensors and camera, they lined up fine for me on my 6s plus.
I took some pictures of the sensors, used a flashlight to be able to see them.

Hope it goes smoothly! It went well for me, the one time I did that it.
May I ask what your battery issue was? I am getting concerned about the battery life on my 6s+...it does not seem as good as my 6 Plus's battery life...

Installed mine. I have one small place that refuses to adhere. Hopefully it works itself out in the next 8-48 hours as the packaging claims or else I'll get it replaced. My sensor cutouts are a tad bit off but I'm not worried about it. Fits great with Magpul Bump.
Edit: The spot went away shortly after posting. I just gave it a good press. I am very impressed with this product!

Does the copy and paste option work on the cinder? I applied a cheaper generic on it and copy and paste option does not work. I've ordered cinder too but is 2 weeks away from delivery. I'm wondering if it works on cinder or not. If not, then its a problem for most glass protectors. The force touch works though.
- CUPERT said that “…all is sent out” (=2ND OF SEPT.).
- CUPERT said the packages have been shipped on the 9TH OF SEPT.
- CUPERT said the packages have been shipped on the 18TH OF SEPT.
- Cupert said the packages were brought to post-office on 25th of SEPT. and will be trackable by monday 28th of SEPT.
Now it is wednesday, 30th of SEPT. in China.
No Cinder, No Tracking
So they are just not completly honest. I should have read more carefully.

Now that you mention it, I do remember you mentioning that once a while back.

But then Cupert only sent it 3 times. Now it's 4 times. And they are still so honest. Awesome.

While checking stock for CINDER on Amazon, I noticed the Ice Max for 6S is now available for prime shipping. Guess I'll give them a shot since it's cheaper than CINDER and I'll most definitely get it quicker: http://www.amazon.com/Protector-God...KBX8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1443561510&sr=8-1

I love mine! I can't tell the difference between it and the cinder on my daughters phone. I have a cheap $1.00 knockoff thin case on it, no issues.

My brother has been asking me to order him a CINDER after seeing mine, so hopefully the Ice Max will do
How does this look with the screen showing a mainly white background? Do you notice any difference from a naked screen?

Any issues with using the silicone case? Seeing your pictures convinced me to get the Cinder for my 6s Plus.
No bubbles after installation of the Ice Max?...I may just get it since it's Prime
I just realized it's only for the 6s
Anyone have a white 6 plus they are willing to sell?...I can pay a fair premium price!

No, I am batch 2. A friend of mine is batch 3. What explanation did they give, that batch 3 would take so long? Probably because they first need to restock Amazon.
