Decided to keep my pristine XsMax over the 12pro max. Which means I’ll be keeping it casesless for at least 1-2 years. So I ordered a ESR protector. Can’t stand the protectors that have a notch. Too much lint and dirt to contend with.
 
Whatever happened to skins like bestskinsever, or the original invincible shield by zag?

can’t stand glass screen protectors as is doesn’t seem to matter how careful I am with them the ultimately get a tine chip on the edge and then start cracking.
 
How easy are tempered glass versions to remove having had them on for a year or more?

Without damaging the screen of course.
 
Can you let us know what it's like/how it fits when it arrives?
Received the flolab, my ESR was installed perfectly, flolab to my feeling didnt adhessive fully, so removed and try adding again but made it worse. Just wasted money basically, also doesn’t feel different then ESR for me and way cheaper and you get 3x the product.
so for me ESR>>>>>>>flolab

Do you think the ESR Tempered-Glass Screen Protector will work with the Apple Leather Case?
 
Just want to share that I just installed this cheap screen protector on my newly arrived iPhone 12 mini, and it all went well. Once installed I couldn't believe it, it feels there is none, for real. I looked for a thin one and am happy about the decision. No notch either. It's on Amazon Germany:

I got my flolab the other day, too, from the rec in this thread - i personally found it even easier to apply than the ESR and liked all the kit pieces (the extra giant stickers were great), and i think it looks better. the ESR had already impressed me because it was my first notch-less protector (didn't know that was a thign previously!) and i like the flolab even more due to the black border around it making it look more seamless. i see less of a gap between the screen protector and my apple clear case than i did with the ESR.

so, Flolab gets a "worth it" rating from me, assuming it holds up over time since there aren't replacements

Could you please post some pictures of it?
 
Has anyone had issues with polarized sunglasses and these screen protectors? I got a no name from amazon and its pretty bad with my glasses on. Thoughts?

Yep, it fits great (12 Pro Max). Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the ESR screen protector :)

Sure thing! Here are some attached, both with and without my apple clear case + wallet combo on. Bonus pic of the state of my gf's iphone 11 pro, which i used to take the pics of my phone, before putting her new flolab screen on too lol...it was a sad state of affairs for her there!

I went with MediaDevil’s protector for my iPad Pro a couple of years ago and now I’ve bought another for the 12. No complaints. It’s just a layer that goes over a screen so there’s no amazing performance to speak of.
MediaDevil are very economical, they’re local, they have even more incentive to deliver quality as a smaller business, crazy how more Brits don’t buy from them.
 
I also just got the ESR w/ notch cover for my 12 Pro. Put it on today and it fit great, was super easy to install with the guide and has no bubbles or dust particles.

My Sheath case hugs the sides of the phone better without the ESR screen protector than it does with it. Anybody else noticed this?
 
I also got my ESR protectors in. As far as the fit goes they are perfect with the apple silicone case. The installation didn't go that well for me. I've used 2 out of the 3 it came. The first two both would not full adhere on sections of the edges. No idea why this happened. I consider myself decent at installing the glass protectors since i've done it a ton of times over the years.

I used iCarez from Amazon for the past year on my 11 PM and I just ordered them again for the new phones. They make good protectors that go edge to edge and are pretty good with scratches.
