BTW.. The coating out of the box on this protector is a fingerprint magnet!

iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max Screen Protector

I've just bought the iPhone 15 Pro and I'm bewildered that all of the tempered glass screen protectors cover the camera, causing image distortion. Are there any with the cut out at the top that fit a 15 Pro that anyone can recommend?
I've been searching far and wide on the internet but can't seem to find anything. I tried my iPhone 13 old screen to see if it would fit but the camera alignment is different so whilst the overall screen size fits, the cut out is in the wrong location for the 15 Pro.

I have to agree, great coverage and edges are smooth enough to use caseless but the coating is really poor.
Does it cut off the edges of the screen more than the original version or is it the same? If it’s the same I’m thinking about getting this one instead.

Can you please link to the Aliexpress "Flolab" protectors? If there are cheaper anti-glare coated glass protectors out there, the people deserve to know!

I mean, shouldn’t you already have one? Making a claim that bold needs to be backed up. From a quick search on Aliexpress, I can’t find anything that suggests Flolab is selling Aliexpress protectors.
I’d love to be wrong given the cost, but this really doesn’t look good.
It is surely impossible to tell?
I’ve had mine a few weeks, the anti-reflection coating genuinely is nothing I have ever seen before but whether it will eventually show up on other brands I don’t know. These protectors are all made in China/Korea and the patent law in the former is pretty much non-existent so I imagine a company will steal it before long. My guess would be that most brands use a manufacturer in China somewhere that is some standard specification and they tweak it as they like. That’s not the same as just shipping stuff straight from AliExpress though. The only thing that does make me a bit suspicious is that they seemed to add the dust removal feature when the Chinese brands did.
I have enjoyed the Flolab but the oleophobic coating is pretty average. Already wearing off after a couple of weeks. Still much better than the TORAS
It would be great if a cheaper version of a Flolab surfaced, I'm all for it. But yeah the coating is trash--there are times where my screen feels rough almost, never had a screen protector feel like this.
I think I was able to find one on Aliexpress. It claims to have anti-reflective for $19.

but one of the reviews says this anti-glare coating wore off after some usage.

I’ve had the Flolab on for about 2 months. Anti glare is great, oleophobic coating is not great. Took about a month for it to become a fingerprint and smudge magnet. Seems like a weird model year for protectors as some cut off the screen, others have the rainbow effect or poor coating.
I got this one from QDOS for my 15 Pro Max:
OptiGuard ECO GLASS
It was the last one for my 13 Pro Max as well. It comes with a frame to apply the screen protector and covers the active part of the screen perfectly so no worries about the curve. I find it so far easy to clean and no issue with fingerprints. Be careful installing as you swing the frame shut not to trap dust (even if you wipe the screen carefully) it happened with the old phone.

Can agree on the Flolab. Good coverage, junk oleophobic coating
ESR has been putting off sending me a replacement because they can't guarantee that the one they send me is old stock or the new (updated) version.
My last install of an Ultraglass got a nice scratch in it the other day and coincidentally ESR emailed and asked if I still wanted to wait longer or chance it and have one shipped. I opted to have one sent to me. I just installed it and it is the same as the original I installed 6 months ago. The double line border test cuts off one line on the left side. The black border on these appears bigger than the other top recommendations too.
It's really too bad because the coating on it is top notch. I'll leave it on for now until it scratches or the coating starts to go. At that point I'll stick another Ulraglass on.

Try a matte screen protector, I’ll never go back to a standard glass one now. Looks nice and doesn’t get covered in smudges etc.
Doesn't it ruin the feel of your finger on the screen? I don't think I could do it.
is flolab the only company that doesn’t cut off any of the screen? Product has horrible reviews on amazon.
WSKEN also doesn’t. Flolab is hit or miss if you read around on this thread. Anecdotally, Flolab was fine for me.
I am an idiot. I had a Hoda Sapphire Screen Protector on and I was very happy. But I read and heard a lot good things about the anti reflective coating of the Flolab and ordered one.
The oelophic coating is really bad and makes it absolutely useless for me. It is worse than many AliExress Tempered Glasses.
I still had a WSKEN and changed it to that after 2 days of trying. The Anti-reflective Coating istn`t that noticeble either in normal use imo
While using the WKSEN which works good, I am waiting for my new Hoda Sapphire again. I just really like the smoothness and cool touch of the sapphire ones.
So I wasted a lot of money the in the last week but I learned a lesson.

Minded to try one of the Hoda screen protectors but shipping is expensive to the UK! Has anyone tried it?
