Can anyone opine about the pros and cons of plastic vs. glass screen protectors? And the HD vs. anti oil vs. Anti fingerprint vs. anti water, etc. etc. And any suggestions for brands available on Amazon?

I just tried Zagg glass HDX for the first time and I will never use plastic again. Perfectly clear and clean.

Ditto. I love the glass.The only thing that is a worry are the edges as they don't stick to the phone due to the curves but I haven't had any issue with it yet.

I opted not to use one with my 6+ but Zagg Glass is a great choice. It feels like you have nothing on your device & it doesn't take away from the beauty of the screen.

Edit: BTW...there's a lifetime warranty

Another vote for Zagg GLASS. I find that the plastic screen protectors give a sorta sticky (tacky) feel and some distortion to the original screen. The Glass protectors do not, they are just as smooth as the regular phones screen (the more expensive ones anyway) with no noticeable distortion. I would suggest using GLASS, it looks and feels like nothings there.

iloome is releasing a glass protector with curved edges. I preordered, ill let you know how it is once I get it. I have a glass protector now, but it only covers the actual display, not the edges.

Curious to see how these curve edges are going to work with cases.

Never tried a glass protector but I'm using a Bodyguardz Privacy on a 5S that is great and just ordered a Spiegen Steinheil Protector for a 6 Plus because it covers edge to edge and 2 for $19.99.

My vote also goes for glass. If you're going to get a screen protector there is nothing better than glass. It takes away absolutely nothing as far as feel and look...

If I stilled used a screen protector it would be glass for sure. I used them on all my devices since they were released, but as of late I roll screen protector free without issue.

Zagg GLASS, it's well worth the cost. I stated in another thread that I liked the verizon standard glass screen protector but this one is much more superior
