Anyone tried or taken pictures of the Spigen Glas TR? I'm just looking for a non-E2E screen protector that actually adheres into the screen completely. I am always having trouble with both sides no adhering properly

I apply my screen protectors pretty much 99.9% accurately in a dust free environment...

With my 6 the only non e2e that didn't halo was the Belkin installed at the Apple store. When it got too scratched up I tried an e2e for the first time and was instantly a convert.
From what people are saying, Belkin has improved their protector this time around.

Godosmith is sending me the updated version. I'm going to hold off on installing the Orzly until I see how the update from Godosmith looks.

Did they say what exactly they've fixed in the updated version?

I somehow think that GDsmith are just blatantly lying by coming up with a story on how the SP they sent out in the titan glass box were for the 7Plus and having the same edges as the Ice Max. Seeing how these were selling at $13-$15 USD a piece and the Ice Max for 6s (not 6s Plus) i had gotten previously for USD $25 a piece, i've a feeling these might have been old stocks for the plus versions of previous IPhones that they were desperately trying to clear off.

I'm patiently waiting for the imos ete 3D glass, it is truly the best that I've used. Hard oleophobic coating, extremely comfortable 3D rounded edge with very little gaps!

I am waiting for the iMos 3D protector, too.

Using Armoz 3D protector and I am having some problems with it.
Here are some pictures.




All 4 sides of the screen has air bubbles. When I press down on the sides near the air bubbles, it goes away. So seems like the sides are not sticking well.

Waiting for iMos 3D glass protector or may be I will go for X One 3D glass protector.

What about Zagg's Sapphire Defence? At their site, looks available for preorder. Do you think it's going to be worth its money? Not a cheap one. Thinking of a combo between Sapphire Defence and Otterbox symmetry in black for my black 7 plus...

Only thing I like about it is that it has cutouts ONLY for the home button and the earpiece. Front camera and sensors are covered by the protector.

Exact reason I enjoy the G-Color as much.

If it snaps on the back like the Apple Silicone case, I'd recommend G-Color off of Amazon. At $20, it may seem more expensive than some of the other cheaper versions, but worth it.

They sent me the following email regarding my Amazon return:
"Hello friend,

So sorry for this issue, you're the regular customer in my store.
And we would like give you the best service and quality items.

Now the new update version screen protector has been released, if you can give us some days, we will send the new one to you, fine?
And for the old type, you needn't return it.

Please confirm it, hope to hear from you soon.

Regard
GDS"

I replied I wasn't interested and just wanted my money back. And that's really all there is to it at this point. I mean - what is "SOME DAYS" anyway.

Can't fault the g-color! Bought one for mine and my wife's phone and they are perfect, play nice with our cases too!

In the past it wasn't well received b/c of issues with glass not even fully covering LCD.

Hmm I see, I remember the spigen plastic film was popular back in the iPhone 4 days...

Cool, unfortunately there is no actual Apple store in my country yet, only "exclusive distributors". Hopefully they will have the belkin screen protector applicator too when they arrive

Yeah, they played it safe with the curved edges of the 6's and it looked ungainly.

I read all the pages of this thread and couldn't find a glass screen protector that isn't edge to edge and not the exact size as the screen itself
Am I wrong?

Just got the Orzly 3D Pro-fit from Amazon today. Very forgiving install, I took it off a few times to get rid of dust. Looks very nice and I like how it goes right to the edge. Doesn't interfere with the Nomad leather case for those wondering.

Excuse the ipad mini 2 pics, only other camera I have haha

I ordered one for my 7 also, but I'm gonna hate the reports of bad oleophobic coating on this glass protector. Let me know how fingerprint magnet yours gets :)

Honestly, I'd rather the screen protector be the fingerprint magnet I keep wiping and potentially scratching vs the screen itself, but will definitely chime in on how it progresses

Thanks for the pics! Definitely the best one so far in terms of E2E and having little to no gap between the protector and the phone!
