I usually use ESR screen protectors as they cover the Face ID section but for some reason I’m getting the rainbow effect on one side of the edge. I have fitted 3 now and all have the same issue. Never had this with the XS. Just live with it?

same here with my ESR ones. tried 2 and same exact thing. gonna switch to Spigen
 
Glad it not just me. Is yours for the 11 pro and a new pack? Thanks
 
I have the full front ESR (with the black rim around it) and it is perfect! I LOVE the new placement tool thingy! I usually have to lift and put back down a couple of times and end up with dust, so I have to lift and scotch tape it off...

turned on the shower (for steam), snapped on the alignment tool, pulled off the protective covering from the phone, wiped it with ESR's little cloth, placed the screen protector... PERFECT alignment...

I did have to do a lot of pushing out of bubbles/rainbow effect but they all came out. This is the happiest I've EVER been with a screen protector in all the years I've been using them!

I can’t use the full screen ones as I use a case.

So do I. I have the full screen ESR (with the black edge) and the apple clear case (and last year I used the ESR full screen with the apple leather case.)

My caudabe case grips over the edges so not sure the full screen protector would work.

Purchased 1 time.
You purchased this item on September 12, 2019.

Yup we have the same one. I think I am going to email them with what is happening and *hope* they send out a few extras. I really like these kind more than the notch less ones like everyone else.

Ima wait for your review. 16$ with OK reviews is a gamble for me imo. Hope it works out and write here when you get them please.

youll be fine with a full screen protector. I used the 3D icarez with my caudabe cases with no problem. Tested on the sheath, the synthesis, and the lucid clear.
 
A few recent reviews say that the full coverage protectors don’t fit the 11 pro properly. Can anyone confirm or post photos. Thanks
 
I will give it a go when they arrive tomorrow. Thanks for all the replies.
 
Going to try and install full coverage now. Got 6 spares just in case!

There little installation frame really does make all the difference in getting it lined up nicely! As long as you make sure every speck of dust is gone! (I always do a bathroom install with the HOT shower running to get steam to hold down any dust....)
 
The only issue I have found is it makes the bezels look bigger due to the black border.

Do you find the black edges of the protector infringe on the screen slightly?
