I have gone through several screen protectors since getting my Xs in September and have hated them all. I really don’t like them very much anyway, but since getting small scratches on my 6S Plus a couple of years ago, even though I am extremely careful and conscious of what is next to my phone, I’ve tried to use them. Sigh....
After going with a naked screen for about a month now I decided I was pressing my luck and I’d try...again.
Got on online and read reviews until I was worn out and finally decided to try the Tethys full coverage glass protector. The reviews were pretty good, but they’d been good on the other s I’d tried too. I really can’t make myself like the ones that just cover the viewing area of the screen because that gap drives me nuts. But... with a bigger protector you have to be concerned about the case. I had one on my 6S Plus that I could only use a Caudabe or Peel type case with, so that was a concern.
So, found the Tethys on Amazon and according to description and reviews it covered almost all of the screen but left enough room for the edges of most cases. Okay, clicked order.... trying this one I thought.
Got the Tethys yesterday and installed it this morning. Installation was very nice and easy with the provided guide frame that snaps on the phone. An alcohol wipe and dry wipe were also provided, along with guide stickers (don’t need them with the guide frame, but they’re there if you want them) and dust removal sticker.
I cleaned my screen carefully, snapped on the guide, and wiped the screen carefully again. I then stuck the guide stickers on and carefully peeled the backing from the protector. I’ll mention here that the backing on this protector is quite thick and stiff, almost like light cardboard, so that was different. I always keep the protector adhesive side down while peeling the backing so that dust doesn’t fall on the adhesive. Then I carefully held the protector by the edges (the stickers were just in the way - don’t need them) and gently dropped it into the frame on my phone. It did require that I then press gently on the edges to kind of snap the protector down so that it fully contacted the surface of my phone screen. After that I removed the frame and continued to smooth the protector in place and spread the adhesive.
Voila!! It was in place beautifully with not a bubble in sight! And looks great! I forgot to mention that the edges of the protector are black and the black edges hit right where the black bezels on the phone’s screen are. So the effect is seamless.
Next, my worry was - will my cases fit and not raise the protector? Happily, they do! So far I’ve tried my Silk Nudist and my new Incipio Cranberry Sparkler (their designer series) that I got to use during Christmas. (Since it’s sparkly and festive, Lol!) Now I don’t know how it will do with very heavy duty type cases, but it’s going to be fine with the cases I have.
So, my conclusion is I found it! A screen protector I can be happy with and not get the itch to peel off! Yay!
Touch sensitivity is good and clarity is excellent, all functions on board and working properly.
Don’t know how it will hold up yet of course, but there are 3 protectors in the box so when this one gets scratched or whatever, there’s 2 more. And all for $7.99 on Amazon!
Hope this helps someone who is struggling with finding a screen protector they can live with.
