Nice but I noticed there is a white line between the screen and the border.

"Also watchout - the glass type protector are strong and great, but if you ever drop your phone (happened to my buddy), it causes extra stress on portion of screen that it does not cover (corners). His screen cracked everywhere except the glass covered portion ."

currently no glass protector covers the entire glass surface
if the above holds true, isn't it better to be without any glass protector?

Nice!! guess the horseshoe make the thumb rest within the touch ID nicely. Guess this design will be better than the fully covered one unless not using the touch ID.
Reservoir type might have issue unless it those <o. 2mm thick one but the market seen to be 0.33mm is the thinnest for full glass coverage glass protector.

but 0.3 seems quite thick. very hard to press the home button

Actually it's true. A colleague of mine also said the same thing. His claim is that the original glass is actually slightly flexible. By adding another layer of glass on top, it sort of increases the rigidity. Thus drops at certain angles will cause both glass to crack for sure.

I guess having a tempered glass will help protect scratches. But pretty sure drops wil be 'fatal'.

Without tempered glass protector what will happen?? Did u think of that??
Since the impact can cause the screen to crack so with or without the result should be same however most of the time the impact will be absorbed by the add on glass thus save the original one.
But ip6 is curved so if without a full front coverage it the same as no protector. Those not full coverage only prevent scratches is fact no need to think otherwise.
So do not be mistaken
