iPhone 6 Glass Screen Protectors do not work on 6s

Picked up my new iPhone 6s on Friday. Always have used glass screen protectors on all my iPhones. Currently have the Zagg HD Glass on my work phone (iPhone 6 Plus). Anyway, picked up new 6s, grabbed a Zagg Invisible Shield HD Glass protector. Went to apply it, and it will not seat the entire edge of the device. About 1/4" in from the edge towards the center, it leaves about 1/4" gap where you can visibly see the glass protector has not seated the glass all the way.

Long story short, 6 screen protectors later, tried using an off brand at the kiosk at a local mall, (made for iPhone 6), and same deal. Was at the Apple store earlier, and told that the glass in the 6s is the same exact curvature as the 6. Went back to the Apple store later that day, was told the curvature is completely different.

The gentleman who sold me the off brand protector at the mall kiosk said he had the same exact issue with a customer earlier that day, had them return the phone (6s) for a new one and he was able to apply the protector no problem. At this point I walked into the Apple store and was told that the curvature is different and need to wait for new protectors spec'd to fit the 6s.

I know Zagg makes the Glass Luxe for the 6s, but I am not a fan of the colors.

My question is, can anyone confirm the curvature of the glass is in fact different than the 6? I've applied numerous Zagg Glass protectors on my 6 and never has this issue.

iPhone 6s, iOS 9

Apple say it's an accessories suppliers matter, not Apple's. iPhone 6s owners could think other way, do you? No matter they aren't an Apple concern, has someone tried Apple Online Store accessories? Do they work?

I have had the same problem trying to find a company with a specialized screen protector for the 6S. I've order from a few and had the same results that I've seen on this forum. I did however find one company that has specialized tempered glass for the Iphone 6S. I've bought 3 so far for myself and my family. They fit perfectly. The edges don't come up and the 3D touch works perfectly. I'm not sure if you can post links but her it is get-z.com Iphone 6S

I also ordered a Z when they first came out and they seriously are so awesome! It was nice to find something that is good quality and at a really good price!! It has saved my phone so many times, and fits perfectly with my iPhone 6S! Also like they said the edges don't have any bubbles.

How is that a perfect fit?
On the left side of the screen (lower part of the picture above), the screen 9the black area) is not even covered by the protector.

Forgive me but I didn't put it on the best Lol. There is a slight overage on the top compared to the bottom. If I put it on perfectly it would cover the screen perfectly. Take another look. Remember its hard to see in the picture because of the curved edges.

Okay. I don’t see it.
Looks like the screen protector is too small, to me.

Hi People, if you amplify the image, sure you won't like what you'll see. Sorry!

Anyway, if you want to take another bad sample ...

If you want, see and analyse the images, compare them with the product design specifications and make your own conclusions.

So your screen protector is too large.

The document describes case design, not screen protector design.

Not sure if I read the specs right but for the iPhone 6S it says 58.49mm for the screen. I have an extra screen because the guys at get-z are amazing and sent me an extra one. Can you tell me what the width is? Looks pretty close to 58.49 to me. Best part like I said is my screen stays down around all the edges.

The screen protector is not even touching at the edges as the screen edges are rounded.
That’s why there is white bit around the outside.

the only flat screen protector that I've seen "fit" without the edges coming up are the ones at Get-Z If you wanted curved screens that fit the entire phone those have their own set of problems. Still haven't seen one "fit" well.
