So this was recently released, but no reviews yet because I believe it is still shipping.
iloome iPhone 6 4.7" Screen Protector (Onyx Black) - Premium Tempered Glass : iPhone

I am thinking about picking one up, but I am not sure if the edge to edge design will work with the official Apple leather case I just ordered. Here is an image of how close to the edge the protector goes:

And how much the Apple Leather case wraps

Supposedly the screen protector is only .4 mm thick. Not sure if that will be enough to mess up the fitting of the case, or if the case will cause the screen protector to lift. What do you guys think?

I currently have this iloome brand on my LG G2 which also has a curved edge screen, but they didn't have the edge to edge design until the iphone 6. It is as good as the zagg or spigen in my opinion, has saved my phone more than once and not cracked. Also feels like the original glass and repels fingerprints a bit.

Looks great. Looks like they are using colored edging that can curve with the iPhone screen. Pretty smart. May have to get it. No idea how this will fit with your leather case. It will fit with my Spigen ultrathin case.

Yeah it seems like a great idea. But we will have to see how well it is actually executed. Also given it is so close to the edges it really gives you no room for error when placing it on the screen. But possibly the curved edges will actually make applying it easier? Maybe not, who knows. I think I will bite and see how it goes.

Over on the MacRumors forum a guy from iLoome was asked if their product was compatible with cases like the Apple leather case that have any kind of "lip" that comes up partially over the curvature of the screen edges...and he said "no". He said it was designed for people who carried their devices naked.

Be aware...

Lol they should probably put that in the product description huh? Well I will let you all know how it goes when I try the combo (because I already ordered them both). I assume .4 mm won't be enough to mess things up too much, but we shall see.

I emailed iLoome as well an their answer was that it wouldn't work with the Apple leather case. Shame! They did say that they were producing their own cases which would work with their glass.

I am going to be optimistic. I think they are just covering their butts to make sure people don't out lash at them on the internet (which is inevitable). I have a feeling the Apple leather case will work no problem.

Yeah pls let us know how it goes. I'm interested in this screen protector but not if it doesn't work with cases. Now I'm curious about their cases too. They should really promote it.

Unfortunately I am not getting my 6 until next month when my contract is up. But I will report back :D

Just ordered this off Amazon. I'll post pics if someone hasn't already done so by the time I receive it.

Awesome! I'd love some feedback and would also be interested to know if it would work with the apple leather case.

Has anyone else tried these new edge to edge glass screen protectors? I'm curious how well they work with certain cases.

There is one single iPhone 6 review for this protector and it was a positive one. It's too new to have too many reviews but it's only a matter of time.
