Seems like that may be an issue with the mini according to Macrumors:
iPhone 12 Mini Users Report Lock Screen Touch Sensitivity Issues
A significant number of new iPhone 12 mini owners are reporting Lock Screen sensitivity issues since receiving their phones. The MacRumors forum has...

So I'm here to share my story on the ESR Screen Protectors. I went through 3 before I got a perfect install, but thats just entirely user error and my OCD. I cannot stand a single bit of lint under the screen. Initial adhesion is a pain in the but. I had to REALLLYYY rub the screen protector to get some of the air under the screen out. But once its done, man is it is gorgeous. I gave my phone to my parents and they didnt even realize that it had a screen protector on since its edge to edge.
I can also confirm the ESR works fine w/ the leather case. That is the combo I have on my Pro Max right now.
I had been a long time Zagg user and they make a great product. I decided to switch it up when I got my 12 pro, I am using the Glass from Body Guards. It was super easy to install and the glass feels very premium. So far I am very happy with it!
Same for me. Just had my Totallee removed and picked this one up at AT&T. Totallee was a total dust and fingerprint magnet. I love Bodyguardz and have used them exclusively for my last 3 or 4 phones. Quite pricey, but totally worth it imo. AT&T installed it for me. Have to say, I’ve never heard of a synthetic glass protector before. The protector is totally edge to edge and invisible on my Max. My last one was on my XS Max from launch day 2018 until today, and not a single scratch whatsoever.
Am debating a full screen (no notch cut out) with or without the black borders. Post pictures please
This thread is full of them - earlier post I made with pics of my Flolab full screen with black borders protector, which I like a bit more than the ESR I started with due to the black borders: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/best-screen-protectors.2263626/post-29234886
Enjoy!
Sorry, maybe not the greatest pics. Taken with my iPad. The first one is with the Totallee soft clear case on. The second one is naked, no case.
Wow, I have to say that is something. I think it might even be better than the FloLab (what does everyone else think?).
How does it feel though? I'm always really skeptical about synthetic glass. How's FaceID? (please note if you tried FaceID without this protector on, especially if it was uncovered at some point)
It feels just as smooth as the screen with no protector. Absolutely no issues with Face ID or screen responsiveness. I totally don’t notice that it’s there. It does a more than decent job of helping decrease fingerprints and other smudges. I’m OCD about fingerprints lol. Like I joked in another thread, I had to sell a kidney to get thus one, but it’s totally worth it imo. 😀

Now time to decide between the FloLab and this one. These two seem to be the best of the lot as far as I can tell. There's been a few screen protector comparison videos but my issue with them is the protectors they choose to compare. The "Eh" YouTube guy for instance really did a great job testing them, but did a terrible job picking out which ones to test. Oh well.
I have seen several of his videos. He does a pretty good job and I like that he isn’t sponsored.Quite a comprehensive review of the main offerings here:
Quite satisfied with the popular ESR one, given its position in the final standings (6th) and price point:
That is an incredibly rigorous review of screen protectors. I need to check out his other reviews!
Wow. If it wasn't for the ear piece, I wouldn't be able to tell. I have a perfectly installed ESR and you got me debating switching 🤣 🤣
I find the hardest bit is getting the device dust free as the bubble that form on top won’t go away with any amount of trying.
Got this one which is double what I normally pay but am so pleased with it. They even claim you can take it off and rinse under water. There wasn’t even any non dust bubbles when I put it on and thanks to a phone sized sticky label to take off the dust before putting it on, it was dust free too. Feels so nice to touch too.
