It's tough when you have OCD. I should know. Best to just keep looking at it as much as you can, then get over it and move on. You will feel better. <s>

Just did a trial run with the Matt set for the sides. Relatively easy and doesn’t feel sharp on the hand. It’s quite forgiving stuff and can be lifted and reapplied with ease.
The gloss sides are a wet application which will be easier to apply.
Sorry about the pics... getting the other half’s Samsung s10 to focus is a nightmare!

Grab an iPad or some other iOS, to take the photos. Please and thanks; all of us

👍Still got the Matte sides on and I’m pretty impressed.
Initiated a return on this device today and going for a Max on Friday. Will definitely be getting this skin for that too.
I've used extreme skins before for my iPX and they were excellent so bought some for the iP12Pro. This time though I've found both Matt and Gloss to be a little to exact in size. They go right to the edge which makes it easy to catch the edge with your hand.
Ideally they need to fit within the steel band as this would avoid the sharp edge feel and reduced the risk of catching it and peeling off.
I also don't like how they fix on the matt glass compared to gloss glass. They will probably work a lot better on the iPhone 12 rather than the pro.

Did you order the back film or just the film for the sides? The other alternative clear films are from SlickWraps and SopiGuard. Both don’t offer a different finish for the back sides but it appears they are full back where you fold a flap to cover the sides.

Put mine on this morning. Won’t line up properly. I am normally a dab hand at skins but this took over an hour to put on. Was going to let it cure but didn’t like it, especially the seams where they meet look terrible. The gloss sides have lots of marks underneath that don’t come off so that looked nasty too.
Have taken it back off and gone back to my silicon case.

Thanks for the feedback. There is another company called SopiGuard which makes a clear/matte film. When you order a skin it comes with the back, sides and camera. Very inexpensive at $7.99. They don’t offer the choice of a different finish on the sides vs back so you would need to order a clear and matte to get the finish combination.
for Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max
SopiGuard skins are designed, produced and distributed in-house, right here in the United States, meaning our customers enjoy premium quality products and reliable customer service. Carbon fiber skins from SopiGuard are easy to install because they feature air release channels. This means no...
I installed something similar to this a few days after i got my Iphone Pro, then i dropped it and scraped the side (just the right area where nothing was protected)

I used to use skins with iPods and the like.
I was hoping in these years that the materials or process will have improved but I’m still hearing that dust and debris will inevitably catch on the sides and over time, the skin will lift slightly, allowing more dust and debris until it looks unsightly, making me want to remove the whole thing altogether.
I might just have to continue using the phone naked and be extra careful with it for now.

I use the phone naked all the time.
As for the phone itself, I have it in a case.

A couple questions:It’s a tiny mark on the top of the glass by the camera. Really small looks like a speck of dust only visible on very very close inspection but now I’ve seen it, I can’t un-see it! It’s within 14 days so I’m confident they will have it back.
- How long after application did you start using it?
- How long did it take for all the bubbles to completely disappear?
- Did the bubbles around the camera cut-out disappear?
Looking forward to hear your thoughts on this!
