what Screen Protector everyone getting for there iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max not sure what to buy.
 
Tried the AT&T ones (since I work there and historically they have been really good -they’re also made by Zagg) but omg the fit is horrible and there’s a lot of packing issues leaving impossible to remove white lint around the edges. Went to apple and got belkin. This one is perfect!!

I vote for Torras, good quality, easy to install. Spigen is also a good brand. They both come in pack of 2 on amazon.

The black bezels on these things sacrifice part
Of your screen no matter how much people don’t want to admit it. Never again.

Currently using AmFilm for 7.99 for 2. Only minor issue is sometimes the fit isn’t 100% perfect so one side is closer to the screen edge so there’s rainbowing. Most times it’s aligned perfectly

I got Esr and ailun from Amazon and they fit good but reduce the touch sensitivity. The phone is almost unusable. I’ve never had this issue with a phone before. My 14 pro max always had a screen protector and was always responsive. I did notice both brands were super thick. Has anyone experienced this?
 
Still early days, but has anyone found an all-clear (no black borders) screen protector that really covers the entire front of the phone?

I got this ESR which is all-clear:

but it doesn't go to the edges of the front AND it rainbows on all four sides.

Like others have said the Spigen GlasTR EZFit. I’ve seen it mentioned quite a few times here and thought I’d give it a shot. Aligned PERFECTLY. Even after having to lift an edge to get a piece of lint out it still sat perfectly. I’ve noticed it resist fingerprinted pretty good too.

I’m using MR GLAS not very good it covers the sides more as you can see the camera corners are now hidden partially under the black borders of the screen protector. Major fail.

I’ve always used the cheapies from Amazon and never had an issue. Do you have a 16?

Not yet mines not due until 2nd Oct

But fitted them to my recent iPhones Inc 15PM which I stupidly sold to get an S24U

Fitted one to that and my Pixel Fold then 9 Pro Fold and just fitted a new one to my 13PM as the ESR one I'd fitted had lifted slightly with it being unused for quite a while...

Went on faultlessly
 
Anyone else having trouble with screen protector fit? I've tried Spigen and ESR and both seem slightly too long and don't seem to adhere around the edges. Anyone else seeing an issue or is it just me? I've used these brands with my previous iPhones and never had an issue so I'm familiar with how to install correctly.

I had same issue with Spigen and ESR, and Tresely. Nine screen protectors wasted. All had this issue.

A little bit of consolation it’s not just me. Might have to shell out for the belkin in store install :(

Are you guys making sure your edges are clean and dust free before applyinf. And are your trays seated properly.

Nine protectors going wrong sounds like installation error although i could be wrong

In my case, yes, cleaned with alcohol wipe, then wiped with micro fibre and then dust sticker all over the screen. All three brands had different fit kit so how many user errors there can be. Amazon negative reviews on these are also consistent with my experience.

Plus my partner and kid frequently damage their protectors so I replace them, I am not inexperienced per se. In fact I did 13 Pro and 13 on the same day with my 16 Pro. First attempt on both 13. Zero issues, no bubbles, no dust particles.

My first Spigen had a small spot in the upper left corner that wouldn’t adhere. Tossed that one and the second is perfect.

Not my first rodeo :)
Fair enough.
 
Made a quick trip to the Apple Store (10 min away for me) and picked up the Belkin. Perfect fit. Must’ve gotten early batches of the spigen and esr since I ordered them right after the phones were announced 🤦🏻‍♂️
