The new iPhone 6’s are bigger, especially the 6 Plus. This is great for watching videos, but not so much for reaching across the screen and pressing the back button that many applications place on the upper left corner. This makes one-handed operation a little harder, so the folks behind the Halo Back Screen protector saw an opportunity. You’re looking at a glass screen protector with an added capacitive touch channel that adds a “Back” button on the bottom left of your screen. Basically every time you press the bottom left area of the screen, your touch signal is relayed to the top left, where the back button normally is located. In this way you can more easily navigate iOS 8, despite the gargantuan proportions of Apple’s flagship handset. And if you want your own, it’ll only cost you $17.
