I got an iPhone 13 recently and got the Otterbox (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HPQ82ZM/A/otterbox-amplify-glass-glare-guard-for-iphone-13-13-pro) glass protector installed at the Apple store. When I got home I realized there were some bubbles forming, so I went back to the Apple store a couple of days after (as the bubbles were growing noticeably) to get a replacement for the glass protector. They installed a new Otterbox film, and now I see bubbles again.

Anyone had a similar experimence? The Apple Store clerk told me the Otterbox is a recent addition to the Apple store catalog, and that the Belkin ones (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HPQE2ZM/A/belkin-ultraglass-screen-protector-for-iphone-13-13-pro) have been there longer.

I might return the Otterbox entirely, and get a Belkin instead.I would like to hear people's opinions on these screen protectors, or if you can recommend any other?

I currently have the Belkin on my 13 pro max and my friend has the otterbox on 13 pro max

My Belkin has been amazing no issues no peeling no issues

My freinds otterbox has peeled and came off and bubbles started to appear.

Belkin give you 2 free screen replacements if it cracks or deep scratches.

Go with Belkin 11/10 always with apple been with apple since the start !!!!!

I just replaced the screen protector on my 13 Pro with the Ottobox Glare Guard because the there was too much reflections with the previous protector I had. The Ottobox is better in every way - now images look as good as an iPhone without film protection but with less glare. I could not be happier.
 
I have a Otterbox Amplify Glass Glare Guard on my phone that was applied at an Apple Store and love it. No bubbles, screen is crystal clear, and glare is significantly reduced.
 
I used to get Belkin... but I switched to Spigen for iPhone 12 Pro and 13 Pro Max. Spigen is much, much cheaper and also works just as well as Belkin. (actually, I can't tell the difference between the two)

My only concern is that the Otterbox Amplify Glass Glare Guard is more of a matte type? I was told by one of the store specialist that it's not really smooth and is more of a matte finished glass on the surface rather then the crystal clear type for the Belkin?

No, it isnt matte and is perfectly smooth. It mostly has the same look as the Belkin, but it does reduce glare a good bit. Not sure what it does to reduce glare, but it does it.
 
I would choose Belkin, I don’t think I’ve come across another brand that is higher quality, crystal clear and thin like Belkin’s.

Plus the oleophobic of the Belkin is fantastic and last quite a big longer than other brands. (On par with Zagg though)
