I also use 9H protector and it works perfect for me
How long do they last? Im hoping I can get about 6 months out of it, someone told me they get about 3 months and then the edges start to chip...

Thanks for the video Ralph. I've enjoyed your posts on crackberry as well. Don't worry about the guy giving you a hard time. Life's too short.

I had the same 9H for a year and a half, in the past and only replaced it because it chipped.
I found the best way to avoid dust on the screen is to install in a steamy room (like the bathroom after you shower). It helps minimize dust floating around in the air. Use a can of compressed air and some scotch tape to blow away or pick up any dust that might be on the screen just before putting the glass on.
I can't see the images due to the iOS 10.3 limitation but I wanted to give my input for those that are looking for more opinions. Basically, throughout Android and Apple products, I've used a few brands of Tempered Glass. Overall, the cheaper brands I've used couldn't compare to the more expensive. I don't remember every brand but from what I do recall:
Pleson, which is cheap, is a get what you pay for type of deal. I have never had a protector chip before but this one did without a single drop or bang within 2 weeks of ownership.
Verizon branded Glass was decent and higher quality but still not the best. Attracted finger prints and in my opinion felt a bit less slick than more expensive brands.
Zagg Glass, MIME and Belkin feel the best hands down. In terms of feel they're equal. But since Apple is able to install the Belkin with a machine so it applies perfectly every time, I went that route. I will never go cheap on the Glass but that's just me. I have had my Belkin on since December and there isn't a scratch or chip on it. I expect micro scratches over time but it's holding up well and I don't see any even in LED lighting. I guess I'm lucky so far.

I wonder about glass screen protectors. I had one which shattered. No dropping, no striking against hard objects; I placed the phone in my pocket and when I retrieved it the protector was cracked. No damage to the phone at all.
'Sup with that?

I did precisely the same. And the glass shattered in a couple months. It was then I found out has nothing further to do with the project. You are now dealing with Belkin, and they will make good on the warranty if you retain your receipt, but guess who is now in charge of the application.
Wait, Apple doesn't have the machine anymore?
Actually, I'm not sure if they would install the shield had I returned to the store. I just figured they wouldn't, as they were out of the loop on the warranty, so I did it myself.
They did it better.
I'm using one I bought at Walmart called Tzumi Pro Glass. It was $10 and comes with a frame for installation. I actually only bought it for the frame, but ended up really liking the glass. I've had it on six months and it's still perfect. Prior to install, I clean the screen and then cover it with the masking tape from a lint roller I remove the tape in one swipe just prior to applying the protector. Perfect every time.
Zaggs are good, but I often get a halo because I think they are cut too wide. I had tried Belkin, Installed by Apple, and I returned it after two days. It was so smudgey, I couldn't stand it. And the edges were rough. Maybe they've improved since then, but I never went back to it.
