Don’t know if anyone is interested, but I received this email from dBrand the other day regarding the Prism 2.0 I ordered on September 9th. Sounds promising, and I’m glad they’re not willing to compromise on the fit and quality of the screen protector.
Human,
Following up about your recent purchase of Prism 2.0: the idiot-proof screen protector.™
First off, some good news: there's no lifting around the edges.
Perhaps you're thinking: "of course there isn't… why would there be?"
Well, you may have noticed that other iPhone 16 series screen protectors in the market feature an obnoxious black border around the edge. |
|
The reason is pretty simple, but rarely explained by manufacturers. When a device has thin bezels, for example on the iPhone 16 series, there is very little room for error on installation. If you’re too high, low, left, or right, you’ll end up with lifting around the edge. This is especially true for devices that have a rounded border. The iPhone 16 series (particularly the Pro and Pro Max) check both of these boxes: the bezels are extremely thin and the borders are indeed rounded.
Given that most people can't install a screen protector perfectly, this "black border" exists as a sort of insurance policy against botched installations. In fact, because the iPhone 16 series (particularly the Pro and Pro Max) have such slim bezels, sometimes even this black border can’t save a poorly fitted or misaligned screen protector from lifting around the edges (see below, from an Amazon review). |
|
Since Prism 2.0 handles the perfect alignment on your behalf, we didn't need to rely on these black borders. Having now tested our mass production stock, we have 100% certainty that there's zero lifting around the edges.
There is, however, a slightly imperfect registration. It’s about a quarter-millimeter too high on the display. Below is an image of the bottom, with Prism 2.0 applied. |
|
Can’t even tell it’s on there, right? Exactly as designed, perfectly registered against the active display.
Unfortunately, we can’t say the same for the top. Note the gap between the edge of the active display and the edge of the screen protector. It’s vertically offset to a degree we’re not comfortable shipping. |
|
We’re currently in the process of re-producing our stock with the intended perfect registration. Fortunately, because the installation tray, cleaning kit, and packaging are all good to go, this is just a simple matter of re-producing the screen protector component.
Ultimately, we hold our product to the same standard we expect you will. That means we’re unwilling to ship anything with a bad fit… |
|
We’re aiming to have this perfected stock ready to ship in about 3 weeks. No further action is required from your end, just expect an email as soon as it’s been shipped out.
Of course, if you’d like to cancel your order, that can be arranged as well. Simply reply to this email and the Support Robots can lend a hand.
We appreciate your patience and look forward to getting you an idiot-proof screen protector shortly.
Signed,
A Robot
P.S. If you purchased a Prism 2.0 for your iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus and are wondering why we sent you this email, it’s because the 15 and 15 Plus are identical models (in terms of screen protectors) to the 16 and 16 Plus.
