I am thinking of getting the iMos glass protector soon. Just waiting for my 2 new JOLI leather sleeves to loosen more.

Here is my phone. The iPhone body is protected with 3M film as I don't want to make my phone bulky by adding a case.








I have 3 Joli leather sleeves (Grey and black for working days) and brown for the weekends.

The camera lens has a (Plastic) protector from Devilcase. I got free from the shop where I get the screen protector.

Can you link to the 3M film?

Here's pictures of the Quirkio TGSP from Amazon.

The adhesive goes almost to the end of the narrow black border, but does not go completely around the home button.

Just got my iMOS from eBay:

Shipping price was horrendous but really fast. It was nice of the seller to include a free stylus :)

I will apply this once I get my hands on a 7 plus and update.

I am very interested in this one, any pics of this installed?
[doublepost=1478685913][/doublepost]I still don' t get that there aren' t any thin glass screen protectors that just cover the screen with curved edges on the sides. So no coverage for the home button or front camera area, just the screen and the curved part of the screen on the sites. Something like a cinder or godosmith without the black parts on top and the bottom, but with the curved part on the left and right side.
I would definitely get one, I am very worried about scratching the screen or its coating, but would love to keep the rest of the phone as thin and sleek as possible.

IMOS makes a very nice screen protector. They can be difficult to install. I don't know if they have changed since last year, but I used the install videos on their web site. You may need to gently lift the edges as you go around to get all the bubbles out. It can take a while and patience.

How thick does it look? They used to be pretty thick, which is why they included a home button ring.

Here's pics of the Quirkio installed on my 7 plus.

There's a bit of halo effect in the corners and lining up with ear piece and home button is a major pain.

Feels good on the edges and works with my tozo case. I don't think the oleophobic coating is as good as other TGSP.

hey miss, can you take a close up of the earpiece cutout? Wanted to see if it's the same as mine. Is it rounded 2.5D or sharp?

So GD Smith did send me a replacement screen protector. Several posts back I mentioned I complained that I ordered an Ice Max 3D on Amazon and received a Titan and I wasn't satisfied. They agreed to send me the updated version. I received today a package that says Knight Series 3D Tempered Glass, 0.26mm. I saw others post pictures saying Ice Max 3D so I really don't know what I received. Take a look. You all won't be happy with me, but I won't remove the Belkin Ultra I currently have until the new version is out. At that time I will give this a try and then remove and take a trip to the Apple Store if I am not happy. Anyone else seen this Knight Series? I have been following this thread since the beginning and don't remember it being mentioned. View attachment 670354 View attachment 670355 View attachment 670356

I received mine yesterday, same deal. Installed and not very happy with it, glad I didn't pay money for it. It's not adhering in 2 spots near the bottom and it looks pretty ugly, plus the oleophobic coating is non-existant. Fingerprints and smudges everywhere, definitely not good. I'd stay away from this one!

So far my favorite has been the Tech armor with corning 2 glass. It's getting some bad reviews on amazon but I loved it and I'm regretting taking it off.

Waited 2 weeks for my updated G.D.Smith iPhone 7 from Aliexpress only to be sent a Samsung S7 protector.

Extremely frustrating, I think i'll just go with iMos tbh

I think the ice max is gone. GD Smkth told me the same thing, the knight is the new version.

I've installed it and while it feels great, the home button and earpiece cutouts are not rounded and it took 3 hours to get the lower right corner to adhere properly.

I can no longer recommend any of the GD Smith products for the iPhone 7. Their new "knight" series isn't perfect like their iPhone 6/6s Ice Max 3D.

Haven't read the last few pages, but wanted to give my Zagg Sapphire thoughts.

First off...this is not glass. From what I can gather, it is their HDX protector with the sapphire crystals infused. I love Zagg. I've used them for years. But I feel like I've kinda been duped on this one. The oleophobic is less than desirable. There are very small places that will not adhere. Given the premium pricing of this product...I expected more. I will probably end up "downgrading" to the glass in the near future.

Anker Glassguard. Not edge to edge but it's holding up pretty good. All the edges adhered properly. Not bad for $7.99. Also grabbed a spare for .99 cents off a flash sale promo code.

Where did you get the info that the Sapphire Defense is essentially the Zagg HDX with sapphire crystals infused? I hadn't heard that before...

The yootech one fits good, but doesn't adhere to the very bottom. Will keep it for now until I find something better. Gonna return the magnolia one to best buy tonight.

From removing the defective one they sent me last night and being able to fold it in half without it break. After I did that I noticed the description says it is a "hybrid" which lead me to that conclusion. Whatever it is, it is NOT glass.
