Would love to see some pics. Mine shipped and has a USPS tracking number, so hope to get it by the end of the week. Apparently this seller is actually in the US!
Got a tip for us?

Where is Cinder?

I ordered in the AliExpress app from the "Smith Godo Official Store." It had an option to order from the US and I picked it. A USPS tracking number was assigned to the order yesterday after I ordered on Saturday. That tracking hasn't gone live yet...I'm hoping it goes live today. Otherwise, maybe it didn't ship from the US after all.
I used a case I had lying around that I wasn't using. I cleaned the edges of the case and placed the screen protector on the front of the case at an angle so only the black parts of the protector were touching the case. About 15 minutes later, I took the screen protector off and checked to make sure no dust got onto the protector or on the areas that were touching the case. Probably not the most economical way of drying it, but better than holding the edges of the screen protector with my hands for 15 minutes

Please post pics with white cinder /godosmith with iPhone 6, (screen powered on). I want to see if the white cinder stil shows the small black border around the lcd screen or that this small black border is covered with white glass/bezel of the screen protector.
If anyone is interested(especially from europe) is interested in the cinder for an iphone 6(s) i decided to take a folio case, so i have black and a white cinder for sale(unused), still in package. They are the latest revisions( ordered december 2015). I also have a shumuri extra slim in black, hardly used and a clear veil xt(not used). Both with original packaging.
When interested , pm .
Not happy with Cinder either right now. I've had it on my 6s Plus for 2 weeks and already have it cracked on a corner. Didnt drop the phone or anything. Contacted them a week ago and they apparently don't care to reply to emails. Big waste of 45 bucks imo.
After reviewing 2 pre-production versions of the Cinder--one for the 6 and one for the 6 Plus, I finally got a chance to review the Cinder for the 6s Plus and I remain very impressed. They may have their customer service issues, but the Cinder is the best curved edge to edge screen protector I've come across for the 6s Plus:

Well, I tried it with 18 cases, and it fit with 12 of them. I made a video of that too, if you are curious:
6s or 6s Plus? It might fit with the 6s...it almost fit with my 6s Plus, but was causing some bubbling in one corner. I think Cupert may say it is compatible, on their compatibility list...
Plus.
And I tried a Thule X3 tonight and really liked the feel of it. Feels very solid. Maybe one of the toughest cases to remove the phone from.
Think i will still pick up a play proof and a Thule and decide from there.
I can't speak to customer service but I can say 2 things I found: 1. their claim of being able to wash and reuse it is true. I had removed it to use another case but changed my mind. When I took it off I washed it like the site says and put it back onto the original black plastic backing plate and put it on a shelf. A week or so later I decided I wanted to use a different case and wanted to know if Cinder would work with that case so I reinstalled it. It looks better now than it did the first time I installed it.
2. It works great with the Playproof case, but definitely DOES NOT work with the k11 bumper. Their website says the same thing, I just wanted to know for myself.

i tested several full cover screen protectors on my iphone 6 and had the problem that the colored part of the protector covers the left and right edge of the display. so a part of the display is cut off by the protectors. is that the same with the cinder one? i don't want to waste that much money as i'm not from the US and shipping will take very long.
Great review! I always like watching your stuff.
I'm very happy with my Cinder screen protector! I tried a bunch of others and liked them fine but this one is really great quality, at least to me.
It looks like they had tons of startup issues, but now that everything is readily available on their website I had no problem receiving my merchandise. I got it within 2 business days via USPS.
Thanks so much! Glad you found the review helpful, and glad you received your Cinder without incident. I've had a number of viewers say recently that they had received their Cinders quickly, with no hassles, so hopefully Cupert has gotten over their startup growing pains. I just reviewed their non-curved, edge to edge screen protector a few days ago and was quite impressed. It's called the Eclipse, and is both less expensive and more case compatible than the Cinder:Great review! I always like watching your stuff.

Just an fyi, I ordered the Eclipse from them and it's just as nice as the cinder but fits way more cases. I'm guessing since it's the same company it's the same construction so it should hold up just as well as the cinder. It definitely feels smoother than some other TGP's I've tried.
