They have 2 different ones and not sure which to order

They have the standard .33mm thickness

And they have a .2mm thickness for slightly more $$

Anyone running either protector?
I have no experience with iCarez, but I ended up ordering the 0.33 mm because the Spigen ones are out of stock so I went with the cheapest one to hold me over until the GLAS.tr is back in stock. I prefer how the spigen one just has a cutout for the earpiece, not a whole cutout for the ambient sensors and camera.

Between the two you linked, I doubt you will notice the difference between the two. 0.13mm is about the thickness of a piece of paper.

How are the edges - are they beveled?

I have the .33MM and it is exactly the same as the Zagg (rounded edges and all) if you have any experience with those. As a matter of fact, it uses the same installation film and I would bet they are the same. I prefer the thicker shields. I am had a lot of bad luck with the thinner versions chipping on the edges.

I saw those but didn't go with it because it has no protection above the speaker. That shape cutout may make it more noticeable, and also it will make it easier to crack the very top - and cracks spread.

Well got the glass in today. Got to say it's my first glass protector and I like it. My spigen case has a 1mm raised lip to protect the screen so this fit perfect with it..

I was able to install first try, no bubbles no dirt underneath woohoo.

Same here. First glass screen and I'm using the same case. I'm really impressed with the glass.
