Are you getting a screen protector for your 12?

Had the Ringke Fusion-X for my 11 pro max....not AS protective as some like UAG Plasma, but very solid..good grip on sides so it doesn't fly out of your hand..$12 Amazon...ordered again for 12 pro max...really like it
 
I haven't had one on anything since the 5S. Never liked the way most protectors fit on the curved phone screens. Now we're back to flat have ordered a Belkin. I am yet to apply a screen protector without getting dust/bubbles in. I'm not expecting this time to be any different. 🤦‍♂️
 
I like my ESR 3-pack. Had a few issues with lint or something getting on the tacky side of all 3 so sprayed down the tacky side with window spray foam and a microfiber towel to clean it before I applied it again. It was still tacky after this. Took a few tries before I got it perfect. I can’t even tell I have a screen protector on.

I had the cameo and for the money best case i bought for the 11 pro, wish i could get the matt back version here, only the clear available. Guess it's a smudge magnet?

My first one i tried in the pack was chipped, returned them and got a full screen one with black border, much better.

Does anyone make a rear glass protector since Apple is back to the slab design? On the 4 and 5 I know they were around.
 
I’ve never had one on any iPhone since the very first model as I don’t like the feel of them although I hear the tempered glass ones are pretty good?
 
I ordered this from Spigen. It should be coming around Monday

Apple is doing the Belkin install. At the moment, I am using a iCarez full screen privacy protector. Fingerprint smudging doesn’t seem to be a big deal. And even if it were, I just wipe the screen off.

I just installed the Spigen EZ screen protector on my 12 mini and it’s perfect.

Easy to fit, comes with everything you’d need and with the protector built into the frame it’s basically impossible to get it wrong!

Yeah they are good. As they are glass it’s exactly the same feel. I don’t see the point in not having one on personally when it’s such a cheap and effective piece of protection for the phone.

Got an iCarez full screen this year. Easy install with tray. Perfect fit and case friendly. Works and feels great. I usually go with Belkin or Zagg but due to Covid restrictions, I opted to do it myself. Glad I did. Saved a ton of $ and got a great product.

Rather than bring in random screen protectors just to say "we tested 100 protectors!" I wish someone would do a comparison with the right contenders. What I gather from reading all these threads and watching a bunch of YouTube videos is it breaks down like this:

Full screen - Black Border:
FloLab vs iCarez

Full screen - No Border
ESR vs Bodyguardz

Notch Cutout
Spigen vs ?

The winner moves on from there... compare FaceID reaction times between notch/less...
All the videos we are getting is "it feels really good!, tray is super helpful!, broke after dropping a bowling ball on it!" lol. I believe the above are the best of the lot. Any protector without a tray should be eliminated immediately IMO. But ya, that would be one heck of a showdown if you ask me.

I’ve got the Spigen EZ one but it’s not full screen so I am looking to change it. The ESR full screen ones are supposed to be very good.

I’ve gone the other route, had the ESR and the frame they send to align it doesn’t always work in getting it straight. The Spigen one eliminates any such issues.

I believe Spigen do a full screen version but I can’t find it in the UK yet.

I bought and installed Casekoo glass screen protector for my 12PM. Love it and comes with everything to install it.
