Plastic vs glass screen protector

[martinlmnt]

I was actually just thinking about this and you've all helped me make my mind up.... plastic it is :rotfl:. No but seriously. I'll take a look at the Zagg Glass now.

I have a Zagg glass. Had one on my 5s and absolutely loved it. The one on my 6 is case friendly, but it's still lifting around the edges. Kinda disappointed with it.

I also have a Zagg glass screen on my iPhone 6. They're the best. Just like no screen protector on. Feels like ur on the iPhone screen it's self. Super smooth.

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.

Wow. Awesome. Please let us know how it works!

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.

Wait..... So steinheil is a 'curved' glass screen?

Negative. I have the Spigen GLAS screen protector for the 6+ and for my wife's 6- and they are NOT curved.

I've noticed the Glass protectors range from about .15 to .3 mm in thickness. I'm sure the thin ones are sexy, but thicker has to be better, presuming all the different manufacturers' products are of the same quality/strength/impact resistant, etc. no?

I saw a YouTube video comparing three or four of the top brands and the 3 mm one was the only one that didn't get a focal shatter spot when the guy hit the glass with a car key, with not so much force.

Oh. Ok. But how does it cover from edge to edge without having curvature to match that of the phone screen?

The Steinheil is a plastic film.

I never used a glass screen protector before. I used 'best skins ever' front/back skins on all my iPhone's and iPads. I've never had a problem. I may try a glass protector for my plus once it comes in but I have both gloss and matte best skins ever waiting to go on already.

I've been rocking the Spigen glas and loving it. It's clear and smooth. The edges taper off but do not go edge to edge.

Just to chime in... I use Invisible Shield's glass and I will not use anything else going forward.

How is the glass with fingerprints? One thing I hate about the space grey model is the amount of prints I see.

The Zagg glass protectors have a "smudge proof nano coating" which are great on cutting down fingerprints while also being smooth to the touch.

I am using the Cygnett Opticshield 9H glass on my iPhone 6 plus and I love it. It was so easy to apply and has an oleo-phobic finish so fingerprints are almost a thing of the past!

I can thoroughly recommend the Cygnett product!

I'm looking on Amazon but can't find that product. Only cases. I find a "us.cygnett.com" site, but being in Hawaii the shipping would probably kill me. Is that company located outside United States?
