What kind of issues?
I'm still jealous so I'm going to ghost armor to get one applied.
Does that stuff mess up the original screen since its a wet install?
I also have an apple leather case, I'm wondering if it'll make the screen peel off when putting it on.
It's safe for your screen. Haven't had an issue with my case lifting the protector. They do recommend leaving your case off for 24 hours tho.

You're gonna miss out on how nice the curved edges feel. You should just get insurance and use the sexy device. You got your woman a boob job and make her wear a burka with that glass and case.
Can you take a few more pics of how wide it is?
And how does it feel? The glass feels amazing, my Spigen felt pretty good but I coul definitely tell the difference.
Its been a while since I've used a wet install protector, but I experienced yellowing, peeling, unpleasant textures, etc.
I'm completely fine with this coverage. I have a zagg glass on my 5S and I knew the instant i first saw the curved edges on the 6 that it would have to look this way. It's glass after all. I have a slim armor as well.
The glass is so superior in feel to all the wet install versions that I'm completely fine with losing a mm on the edge. With a case that isn't where you would have an issue anyway.
My bit question is can you post more pics of the screen height in relation to the case edge. By no screen rise did you mean the case lost its lip advantage or that adding the glass didn't raise the screen at all. Since I have a spigen slim armor case as well, I would be very interested in understanding how this screen protector fits with this case.
Thanks!

Very good point and very true of the old ones. However the new zag HD screen was phenomenal. It had not of those issues for me. But, and this is a big but, the zagg glass is so much better than any of the other wet installs I have ever used.
Wow that's perfect, I'd have it ordered by now if I was in the US.
In the UK so asking them about their life time warranty and worried about installing it - always taken me a few attempts with the cheap screen protectors because of dust. It's a shame there's no places that install screen protectors here.
I'll never understand how people manage to install it with no dust.
Where would you find this in the UK? I see Ghost Armor is in one mall but no where else?
I grabbed a glass at work here and put it on my plus ... yes , it is edge to edge of the screen only but it is at least helping me think it is a bit safer.
I will say I did a quick "test" with a glass from a 6+ and a glass from a 5/5s series from earlier and noticed that the 6+ glass is thinner than the 5/5s ones and did not protect as well during my tests but better than nothing.
(test with a screwdriver handle drop onto glass only)

I have this on my gold plus... I'm actually fine with it.. It Definatly seems less noticeable on the white though
i just put my glass tech armor back in the box to get a refund. that cut just aint gonna fly.
I picked up an Otterbox Commuter at Best Buy. Details are in the original post.

I used a steel rule and placed it end to end on the Spigen. Placed the long way, top to bottom, there was just enough clearance to see a sliver of light. Placed horizontal, left to right, the steel rule was completely against the screen protector. I will be returning mine.

I noticed 6+ glass is definitely thinner than the 5S version. The 5S version was pretty much perfect since it was able to go all the way to the edge and all the cutouts were enclosed. Never been a fan of U shaped cutouts on screen protectors so I'm not too keen on the 6+ Zagg.
I was about to piss and moan about the lack of the lip now as you describe. But as I look at my 5S with the spigen slim armor and a zagg glass screen, I see there has to be barely any lip left at all. I honestly I haven't had any issue with it so far like that. Maybe I am just being paranoid and it will be fine. There's also the chance that spigen adjusts the case given they put it out before the phone was final.
I guess I need to compare the OtterBox commuter you describe to the slim armor. The slim armor is basically at the very outer limit of what I can deal with as far as case bulk. I'm probably just biased against OtterBox in general because of how huge a lot of the cases are.
----------
That is a good point about the U-shaped cut outs. However my experience was always that they were a bad deal because they would peel up easier with the old-style protectors. I have had zero issue with that on the glass. I think that just a function of a different material, so I don't know that functionally the u shaped cut outs are bad. Maybe just cosmetic.
Yikes! Not a fan at all....

I recommend trying this case I just got instead of the otterbox. Might go well with the glass protector.

I posted details and pictures in that thread.
The Otterbox is a somewhat thicker bulkier case but I prefer it. It is a long way from the old large box shapes. Its extremely light too.
The phone is too thin. I have fairly large hands and need some bulk to pick the phone up easily, especially face down.
I do wish the rear panel had something rubber to grip slick surfaces.

The old stuff was questionable I'll give you that. But the past couple gens, esp HD and GLASS are awesome. Best buy are morons though, would never have them install. Lucky enough to have flagship zagg next to my office. They are fantastic with installs, perfect every time.
Have them on seven iOS devices plus cameras. No issues.
I just got it the Zagg Glass, the install was easy, the phone looks great, btw anyone else notice that the edges looks like don't sit well so it shows a bit of space like there is air underneath...its happening on all sides.
You should be able to push any bubbles out.
Just use your thumb in a swirling motion.
I also have the Zagg Glass, and although I agree edges don't look great because of the space where the glass curves, I think it's worth it for the protection it offers (hopefully it will shatter without the actual phone shattering), feels like there is nothing there at all when you use the phone, and it does not degrade the image at all.
All the wet-apply screen protectors feel rubbery and make the screen look dull.
Lots of practice. I found that sitting in on my bed and doing it there gave the least dust. Looking for dust by holding the phone up and looking at a shallow angle across the glass towards my bedroom window makes it very easy to spot dust particles that you can then brush off with the cloth they give you.
