Zagg iphone 6 glass protector?

Yes, I'm happy with mine. I like the added protection to the screen and the glass feels just like the iPhone screen.
Picked up 2 ZAGG Glass protectors today at my local AT&T store. One installed great but the other one messed up a little bit due to a spec of dust between the protector and the screen, so I'm sending it back and ZAGG is gonna send me a new one for free! Overall I'm pretty happy with it, you can BARELY tell its there, only when you put your eyes on macro mode can you tell that it's there. No, it's not edge to edge but I don't think an edge to edge protector is possible with the new curved glass design by Apple. Fits well with my Apple leather case as well as my wallet style case.

get Best buy or a professional to install it because there is a small likelyhood that the edges will not adhere. If that's the case, they will use another.
Nillkin looks good, how long have you had it on? Any cracking issues?
Due to the cracking issues I have had with the Orzly one I've got on, I was leaning towards Zagg due to the warranty.

Had it on for a week. So far no cracks, I didn't even think of cracking. I bought the same Nillkin brand for my wife's 5s last yr and it's still look s brand new. Here's hoping the 6 Nillkin holds up just as well. For $6 shipped, can't beat it.
Nillkin sounds good then, the Orzly has cracked twice at the edges where it overhangs the curve, seems to be a weakness because it's not adhered properly.
Nillkin on UK eBay is about £8.50, about a third of the price of the zagg.

I personally like Zagg product, and I like their lifetime replacement warranty program.
I've had no issues with installing it. The only problem with installing Zagg glass on a black screen is that it's hard to see where the edge of the screen is so you have to turn on the screen, so that helped me. I used the hinge method to install mine.
+1 on ZAGG glass. I don't mind paying the extra for the lifetime warranty. I can literally mess up 10 glass protectors and they'll give me 10 replacements back. Also I like the home button cutout, it's easier for the fingerprint ID to pick up your print and unlock your phone.

I understand that the reason the protector doesn't go to edges of screen is due to curve of screen.
But my concern is the protector doesn't adhere well around the edges and shows.
I have read that it is due to not enough adhesive around edges. But Zagg denies that.
Anyone else having this issue?

i guess so..but let's take a look at 5 or 5s ...did they ever cover the whole phone? i guess not.
Yes this happens to me on all SP I've tried like Zagg and Orzly. If anyone knows one that does not have this problem, please let me know. Thanks.
Certainly looks like a better fit. How's the thickness? I've been on the lookout for something thin. Also, what are your thoughts on the feel of it? Have you tried any others for comparison? So many brands out these days that I've never heard of. It's hard to figure out what's actually worth our money.....
I've never seen the Iloome, so I can't comment, but if you look at my 1st pic you can see the thickness. It's not thick at all. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
It's not that thick. I haven't tried any other glass screen protectors. I was going to buy the Zagg, but then I saw the $40 price tag at Best Buy. I said F that.
The Nilkin I bought was $6 something shipped. Can't beat it. I'm just ordered the same brand (and same seller) for my wife's new 6+. Cost $7 something shipped.
Love the Zagg Glass. Wouldnt use any other screen protector. Finger prints wipe off super easily, feels smooth, good clarity (like nothing is there), and good warranty.
There's a zagg kiosk at my local mall and its quick and easy to get replacements through them.. the only catch is they charge you $5 each time for "installation". I have never asked them for a replacement w/out installation.
Just hope it will somehow work with a Lifeproof case, but i dont see that happening. Guess id just have to take it off and pay $5 each time I go on trips and use the Lifeproof case (When it comes out)

Has anyone seen/purchased this Nillkin?

This looks promising. Just wondering if it is the same adhesive tech as Moshi and other similar SP where the adhesive is only on the black portion and not the glass.
Have read that the above makes it so that the glass isn't actually touching the screen.

You have the same Tech21 case I do, good choice. Now does the protector protrude out farther than the Tech21 case's edge, or does it still keep the screen off a table if you place the phone screen down?

Yeah I love this case. I know some folks don't like the orange, but I think it makes it pop. I was the 1st in my group at work to get it, 3 people copied me.
1 - It doesn't protrude at all. You can tell from my pics.
2 - The protector isnt that thick, so when its face down its not touching anything.
I'll admit that I'd rather have full screen coverage...but I don't that's ever gonna fly along with using a case. That being said, I'm really happy with the ZAGG Glass SP so far. It has to be installed completely perfectly...but I've gotten no lifting up...and looks great too.
This is my first screen protector and I've been really happy with it. I usually use Otterbox cases with the built-in protectors. So this is much better, almost as if there's no protector at all. Only downside is seeing the outline of the protector, would obviously look much better without it but what are you gonna do? Also, no issues w/ lifting around the edge.
Was never a big fan of zagg till today holy crap. Had the glass installed on my phone a week ago. Iffy on the lines showing but oh well. Phone flipped out of my when I got bumped on the subway, fell face first on the cement from about waist high. Freaked out, picked it up and totally fine. No ruptures or cracks in the glass or damage to the phone. Mind you I have no case on either. Definte scare but hats off to you zagg
