iPhone 7 / 7+ Glass Screen Protectors

I've only had it installed for about a day and I can already see some scratches in the oleophobic coating. The cutout around the home button isn't rounded. And there's a ton of dust trapped around the earpiece cutout.
Will probably get another Belkin InvisiGlass installed at the Apple Store.

Do you guys have any tips for me on how to apply the glass screen protector to my iPhone 7 Plus? this morning i received the Ballistic glass by tech armor, this was the first glass protector i ever tried to install, in the past when i installed 2D film screen protectors i was usually spot on but this time when i was installing the glass screen protector all went well but as i put the protector onto the iPhone's glass screen it adhered well and started to stick and once it was done i noticed that a speck of dust somehow managed to sneak into the surface where the screen protector was going to be installed on and basically a bubble formed
I always use the shower/steam room method. Just run the shower on hot for a bit until it gets steamy. Then I put the bathroom exhaust fan on, 9 times out of 10 no dust on the screen. I've heard other people use their kitchen oven fan and install it under the fan.
Thank you very much for that tip, I have the new glass screen protector by techarmor corning accessory 2 coming in tomorrow so I will install it in the shower this time unlike the first time where i installed it in the living room and somehow 2 specks managed to land on the glass and destroy the glass screen protector I was installing as when I tried to raise the protector back up to try and get rid of the speck of dust with the included dust removal sticker it didn't work and made the whole situation even worse because now the corner I used to lift up the protector no long stuck back to the screen properly and was all bubbly in other words destroyed the protector
If its for the iphone 7 and you have your original receipt, you can call up Belkin and create a case. They are fixing the screen protector for the 7 to fit the screen properly. The new version will be out at the end of November and they will ship it directly to you and you just bring it into Apple to have installed. Doesn't solve your problem until then, but at least you will get a free one next month.
Joto is advertising a .15 one. That was just a quick search. No idea of quality.
Ok, Thanks. It seems like the choice I made with the tech armor Corning accessory 2 glass is good. I won't know till tomorrow when I actually instal the protector to my iPhone 7 plus.
The ballistic glass by tech armor I have installed at the moment isn't very good, it's rather thick for my liking as well at 0.3mm I believe. There is a hairline scratch on it too already and I only had it for two days so I don't know what's that about
This is the first time I got a glass screen protector for my iPhone, I always used film screen protectors on my iPhones in the past, the thing I'm really impressed with the glass screen protector is how great the screen feels just like the actual iPhone screen, the second thing is the clarity of the screen is much improved compared to the previous film protector I had by tech armor, the film screen protector always showed horrible fingerprints and smudges all over the screen with the slightest of use, the glass screen protector seems to be really anti fingerprint which is excellent, I'm assuming it's because of the oleophobic coating on the glass screen protector

My wife just bought a 7+ and looking for non E2E. I read through most of the thread, seems like the majority likes the Apple Stote Belkin. Is this accurate?

Did they tell you the same?
I thought I had heard all of the tricks but the oven hood fan is a new one. I guess that makes as much sense as anything else. I may try that next time.
That's what my phone looked like when I removed my amFilm by TechMatte edge to edge protector.
Here is the Turata after removing it. Definitely could have used some adhesive around the earpiece and sensors. Such a shame, was a good screen protector otherwise.
