My Glass Screen Protector Experience

Hello everyone, this is my first thread. But after finding such a great screen protector I had to stop lurking and post.



Anyways, I got the S6 launch day and immediately went to my local best buy for a glass protector. I didn't want to order anything off amazon or online because I would have a few days of no protection. So I went the BB and purchased the only available glass screen protector, the Zagg InvisiShield HD Glass for $40 plus tax. I went home and attempted to put it on myself, as I had done this before with previous phones. But boy this was a nightmare, the edges near the home button and the bottom of the phone would not lay down AT ALL, haloing as some call it. So I pulled it up and tried again, which resulted in some dust getting under it, which caused me to freak out because they don't include anything to help get dust off of the adhesive side.

Anyways, I now had a ****ty looking screen protector on my phone. I'm a little OCD so I went to BB and explained the issues I had with the installation, after a little convincing the service rep exchanged it for me. I decided to pay $7 and have the Geeks install it for me. This is where I began to realize issues with the Zagg.



It took them SEVEN attempts, using a completely new protector each time. And I still walked out with haloing on the bottom edges. I was convinced the Zagg was a POS. I did a little youtube searching and found a video recommendingHello everyone, this is my first post. But after finding such a great screen protector I had to stop lurking and post.

I did a little youtube searching and found a video recommending DBA Cases 'Just Like Glass' Screen protector. Now the name is a little confusing but this IS GLASS.



Went on easy as cake, no issues with the edges, and the FEEL IS AMAZING. It's also a lot thinner than the Zagg so even when I use the fingerprint scanner and the home button I can barely tell there is something on the screen. I would recommend this to anyone with this phone. It only really covers the actual screen not the whole glass but that's how they all are with the slight curve to the screen. Bottom line, get this screen protector!
