Do you guys have a preference for glass vs. plastic screen protectors? Any particular screen protector you recommend? (regular sized 6)

The phone comes with a glass screen protector.

So a screen protector is unnecessary? Like, it doesn't add any extra protection from scratches and shattering?

Is that the screen protector itself scratched? That's a weird scuff if it's on the glass…

Luckily most scratches are basically imperceptible while you're actually using the device, meanwhile a screen protector will make your screen look ever so slightly worse for every second that you're using it.

Oh, yes, it's not actually so bad in use. (imperceptible, even.) I'm just providing an account of the fact that you don't have to try very hard (or be very careless) to get a scratch.

After four years of using the iphone 4 I only have one teeny scratch in the upper right near the rim. I couldn't get over the urge to brush it off like a spec of dust. I'm going to be slightly more paranoid about keeping the 6+ safe but I don't see a need for a screen protector.

Is that a glass or oleophobic scratch?

Reading comprehension is low here sometimes. Pron on VHS posted:Do you guys have a preference for glass vs. plastic screen protectors? Any particular screen protector you recommend? (regular sized 6) A friend of mine just bought a Zagg glass protector this morning. He's thrilled with it so far. Lifetime warranty, like all Zagg screen protectors, so should you ever scratch or crack it a new one is free. He used their HDX protectors on previous phones and those seem to be great too. He's actually stopping by in a few to drop something off; I'll update this post when I get a look at it.

Choadmaster posted:It was quite unequivocally clear. Reading comprehension is low here sometimes. Bought a Zagg glass protector for the iPhone 6. I don't normally go with a protector, but I figured I'd give it a shot since it was glass. I think it's pretty awful. They very clearly made it based on the screen size before the dimensions of the phone were actually released, because it's literally just wide enough to cover the screen, does not touch the side bezels at all, and is short on the top/bottom bezel.

Was there some way to get Siri to stop being cutesy? My latest one was after sending a text, it said "And off to the cloud it goes..."

Feenix posted:I wanna know if that one goes to the edge. (or really close.) As sleepwalkers said, it doesn't (though I think it's more because the edges of the screen curve rather than Zagg not knowing the right dimensions). If that bothers you it's obviously a no-go, but other than that it looks totally flawless to me. Feels perfect too. I am told you do have to be very careful putting it on.  Edit: That phone was at 100% this morning and it's barely been used... top usage listed in settings were "Lock Screen" (18%) and "App Store" (16%) and everything else < 5%. Yay iOS 8 bugs!

God I am as big a proponent of screen protectors as one could imagine but the added "lines" that that glass Zagg adds are just a dealbreaker. Looks like a reject from Tron. (the old movie.)

Someone said if you say "that's not funny" after an answer like that it goes back to being normal. To be honest though I have no idea what causes it to flip over, it's always been very straightforward to me.

If you're in the market for a screen protector, it should be noted that all glass ones are literally the exact same.

Okay, not going to go with a screen protector. Just a case, I heard the Incipio NGP is a nice case.

Three seconds of googling and clicking on the top 5 links seems to come up with no less than 3 different shapes and a lifetime warranty only on the Zagg one (which doesn't seem to be any more expensive than the others). Whether the material is the same or not I can't tell, but your blanket statement is clearly off the mark.

(the old movie.) I wonder if there are any that go all the way to the edges on the new models. As soon as I saw the rounded glass on the new design I figured it would be trouble for screen protectors (well, that was thought #2 after that poo poo is going to crack so much more easily). Does anyone have one that does? I'm not going to use one anyway but now I'm curious.

Supposedly comes out / ships 11/5.

If you look at it and it's a different shape, well, there ya go.
