Won't go back to plastic/urethane film protectors - Superior quality,lifetime warranty, fits iPhone 6S and 3D Touch Compatible!
I’ve been using the plastic and newer urethane film protectors that require you to spray a water/soap solution and squeegee on for quite some time. From the protectors that cost $1 for 5 to some of the more expensive protectors, I’ve had experiences with many different variations, and I’ve gotten pretty good at applying them.The urethane protectors require you to spray the film down, then place on the phone, and carefully squeegee the solution and bubbles out, then wait a few hours to dry, then days to clear. These glass protector are instant with no dry time, you literally drop in place, press all over the screen to ensure a good seal, and it's ready to use!
The tempered glass takes benefits from both type of older protectors and adds a few additional benefits. The thing I most like about the glass protectors is that it keeps the original glass feel of the phone. Following the instructions, I was able to get a perfect bubble free application on my phone and it looks great! The glass is crystal clear, and does not interfere in any way with the 3D/Force Touch on the 6S. Two glass protectors, two wet/dry wipes, a squeegee, six dust removal stickers, and instructions are included. I didn’t bother using the dust removal stickers, which are essentially a scotch tape to since I didn’t have any specs of dust prior to putting the protector on. To help with dust control I did turn on the shower as hot as it could go for a few minutes to steam up the room.
The glass lays flat on the on the phone, but due to the curve on the iPhone 6S’s panel, there is the slightest edge that I feel will eventually collect dust and start lifting at in the future. I’m not too worried about this however, due to the lifetime warranty on these protectors. This protector is only meant to cover the screen itself. One other reviewer noted it doesn't cover the full screen, but I've noticed no problem when properly applied.This is also one of the thicker tempered glass protectors available. Most competitors are approximately 0.2mm thick, whereas this is 03.mm. Some people mentioned that this affects the responsiveness of the 3D Touch, but I haven’t noticed any problems.
CONCLUSION: All things considered, this is one of the best values out there for tempered glass protectors. Most others available you only get one, but for the same price you can two of the amFilm, plus it comes with the lifetime warranty. I highly recommend the product and won’t hesitate purchasing again. Get it and protect your very expensive investment!
UPDATE 3/3/16: I've had this glass on for some time, and have been extremely rough on it. I started noticing scratches across the screen, especially on the corners. It's hard to see, but there's also a very small chip right above the lower right corner. 9H is supposed to be one grade below diamond (10), and I definitely don't carry loose diamonds in my pocket, but I've noticed some scratching. This protector is probably rated closer to 6-7, but it still suitable protection from keys, coins, and other things you might find in your pocket. I carry a lot in my pockets and I toss my phone around so I expected scratches. The few that are there aren't horrible noticeable so I still highly recommend this product.
On another note, while adjusting a bag I ended up tossing my phone about 8 feet in the air and out 10 feet. My phone took a head over heels tumble for another 10 feet and slide face down for awhile after that. Both the phone and the tempered glass survived!
