Tried several screen protector from Amazon different brands i just can't finds an edge to edge protector that cover the full screen of the 13 pro max, all of them so far leaves a gap on the sides and top/bottom of the phone


Anybody know a good edge to edge protector?
 
I don’t know of a good one, but wanted to add that I’ve noticed the same thing. The second I applied them to my 13 PM, I noticed that they were small. I’ve tried the Hiwill and qhohq versions and they both have sizable gaps. I compared them to the qhohq and amor tech screen protectors I had for my 12 PM, and these newer ones are definitely smaller (by 0.5-1 mm, top to bottom). Seems weird since the screens are supposed to be the same overall size?
 
If you’re looking for a caseless screen protector, you’re going to have extreme difficulty in finding one.
If you’re looking for a high quality, inexpensive glass protector that covers the entire screen and is not noticeable, I’d strongly recommend the Torras Diamonds.
As a lifelong Zagg customer, I researched new products with the launch of the 11.
I tried several; Zagg, Peel, Totallee, Torras and other less known.
I have used Torras ever since, with absolute satisfaction.
And no, I have zero ties to Torras and no reason to promote the product other than from personal experience and satisfaction.

Any pics of the Torras installed?

+1 also looking for an edge-to-edge or "caseless" screen protector. I do use the Apple leather case but it doesn't wrap around the front at all (you can see the stainless frame).

I bought this ESR protector and it is not edge-to-edge:

This has been discussed millions of times already...

I searched Google for topics about this and this was one of the only ones I found for the iPhone 13. If you have any suggestions please let us know.
 
Have you looked at Benks screen protectors? I just preordered the KING KONG screen protector which has the black borders and appears to be edge to edge or at least close to it.

 
Here are some pictures of my ESR protector with Apple leather case... it's close but it doesn't go all the way to the edge. Unsure if any exist that do.

The fact that the sapphire has black around the protector looks like is edge to edge but ifyou look close is not.

After trying many brands like ESR etc.. decided to to stay with TOZO protector still not edge to edge leaves a gap but less than the other ones i tried, funny thing is this only happens with the pro max, is extremly easy to find a edge to edge protector for the regular 13

the protector with the biggest gap on the sides so far is the one sold on Apple (belkin) besides the fact that do not cover the notch leaves an absurd gap around the phone
 
This is how the Shellrus sapphire screen protector looks on my 13 Pro Max. It's damn near edge to edge but you can be the judge.
Question, does ur screen protector have a lot of refraction/rainbow effects on a white screen when viewing the phone at a tilt angle? I’m wondering if it’s the sapphire or I got water on screen when I installed it.
 
Here is my ESR with Caudabe. It really depends on the case. Causabe has more lip protection.

So I never noticed it but I just checked and yes it does have a sort of rainbow effect when off-angle. I guess it's because I use dark mode I didn't notice it until now. I also tried the hoda sapphire screen protector and it too has the same problem. Both Shellrus and hoda use the same factory to make their respetive screen protectors so I had a feeling if one had it the other would too.

I wonder if they changed the adhesive again. That caused problems for the first batch of iPhone 12 shellrus screen protectors. On a side note I do like that Shellrus switched to invisible ink (I did not see a watermark on the protector) but hoda still has there watermark on the top left of the device albeit extremely small so it's honestly not noticeable.

ICarez had the best full screen protectors for the 12 series and the ones for the 13 seem solid as well, if not quite as accurately cut. They seem to have stopped selling the 13PM ones for now so maybe they’re fixing the QC issues. Will be buying this again when it’s available.
 
I have 3 set here for my 13 Pro Max
ESR regular
ESR Armorite
Tozo
All 3 have the exact same shape (covers the notch).
Both ESR’s are the exact same size.
The Tozo is about .5mm bigger all the way around.
I have the regular ESR on right now but will probably put the Tozo on in the next few days. I don’t like the gap with the Apple leather case so any little bit to reduce that is good.

Yes noticed that Tozo is the only one you can buy on amazon that is close to edge to edge… i wish I had a true edge to edge but i will go with Tozo anyway

I bought an Icarez and it had terrible bubbling on my 13PM. Have gotten pretty good at my tempered glass installs and couldn’t get them out for the life of me
