I am not sure which one is the best. But I can recommend one to not get. As hard as it is for me to say this, I would say to avoid Zagg, and DEFINITELY avoid Zagg mirror glass. I will preface my reasons though, with saying I think Zagg makes a quality product. However, their screen protectors for the 6 Plus, need to be recut. The glass screen protectors cover the light sensor, and the camera. I was not really wild about that. I believe the light sensor should have full exposure to the light, and should be unobstructed to get the most optimal and accurate light for the best possible images. Also, the curved edges present some challenges. If they are going to make a screen protector, it should be for the whole factory glass, and not just the screen, and parts that are exposed. Another point of view would be that the ion strengthened glass is still pretty strong, and you are less likely to break it, if it is in any well-designed case. i opted in for AppleCare +, so I will live dangerously, and use that, if the worst case scenario occurs. If anything can go wrong. It will.

each to their own. You can go with lawrence finch's advice as I went down that path with my 6 plus for a month or so until obit thd billet and decided to go with a glass protector

i can tell you two things a tempered glass protector did for me:


1) saved the screen on my ipad when my 4 year old through it at the cupboard with the screen hitting the corner of the cupboard. cost of that was just repkacing the screen protector. The ipad was fine.


And the best example:


2) when my wife dropped her 5s and slammed the car door on it. The bend on the phone made the 6 plus bendgate look relatively straight. Multiply that bendgate by 3 or 4 and you'll get the idea of the angle of the bend


Her screen protector cracked. The phone bent. The phone had a stress crack on the frame/side of the phone (inside the glass). the apple genius gave us a new 5s with no charge as the glass of the phone had not cracked or broke but just bent (a loophole he said). The cost to me was replacing the screen protector only.


So at the end of the day it's up to you. It's simply a risk/cost weigh up. either way I don't think its a major drama. Whatever suits each person. I was happy , kinda, with a naked 6plus. There's something sexy with s new phone like that. However I'm happy with my screen protector on it now. I still sm careful if the screen but s little more relaxed as there is that simple layer on top now and it feels just as good.


I'll also confirm some advice I got here and that is that once you put a decent protecter on (ie that feels good - for me it has to be glass) you forget it's on. For me, it diesnt visually annoy or grab my attention. The only team I really think of it is if, for example I am holding something else in my hand with my iPhone or putting it in my bag - I do look out for it but I do remember I don't have to be as pedantic as I used to be incase I got a scratch that would bug me .....until I eventually got over it

I just received my 6+. Still sitting in the box. I was waiting until I got it. I have a temporary case for it and a glass shield, which I'm not sure I want to use. I want to get the Otterbox for it. I have been using Otterbox for the past two phones and I'm sure it has saved my phone; also, I need the clip for it.) Anyway, I think maybe a glass protector like the new ones that are out would be good; I always put a protector on the phone in addition to the one that comes with Otterbox. Does anyone here know which glass protector would work with the Otterbox defender case? I know some complain that many do not cover the whole screen, but maybe that is a good think if I am putting an Otterbox case on as well? Thanks in advance for any answers you may have.

The Anker full screen protector is literally perfection. It's as thought Apple made it to work perfectly with their cases. I own the official silicon case and the Anker screen protector fits perfectly edge to edge. Its an oddly perfect fit.


When i first opened the screen protector I was a touch confused. It's ALL glass. The coloured part I expected to be some kind of plastic to contour the edges, but it too is glass. And not curved, yes sounds odd, how can this work?


Well without a case, the edge isn't flush, but stick the case on and you cannot see your phone had a screen protector applied.


My brother refuses to have a screen protector. He says he'd rather smash his screen than have one. He says he can always see them and it gets in his way of enjoying his phone. I handed him my phone and asked if he likes my screen protector. He genuinely said "wow you've finally took that crap off". When I pointed out the screen protector he was amazed and ordered one for himself.


Ill take some photos tomorrow. But it's literally perfect. It's nice not being able to see edges like I could with the other brands I've tried.

I have to agree with you here. Also, if you have AppleCare +, it should recover any kind of replacement glass/screen anyway. it makes sense if the tempered glass cracks before the factory glass anyway, since the tempered glass is not as strong. So, yes, that will crack first. I am skeptical that glass on glass is going to make any difference.

I cracked my screen and had to pay to get my whole handset replaced today (iPhone 6 plus), I had a plastic screen protector on it but due to wear the hit was on the screen (as all the screen protectors that I have seen are 2mm to small, it cracked the screen and damaged the edge of the phone where it meets the screen. I have since bought a leather wallet type case and a tempered glass screen protector (which is still 2mm too small) but it seems that's the best I can do at this stage to protect this phone. Totally bummed having to pay that much $ for a replacement after having only owned it two weeks!
