Pretty happy with my UG2 too, fit is spot on and seems good for minimal fingerprints.
Got a tip for us?

Maybe your screen panel alignment is defective. Reason I say is this because a few people had this issue with Apple not being able to apply the belkin in store. They exchange the device and it applied first time.
I’m using an original Apple Silicone cover which have the raised lip too. Somehow the border cracked while being in my pocket (nothing else in the pocket).

Yeah, this is more likely an issue with the phone than the screen protector.
Mine too I have three in my house and everyone is good. I actually prefer this screen to my old fave bodyguardz
edit: they had install issues with mine too. Ended up being a warped screen. wasnt visible to me but that’s why none of my screen protectors went down…

Yeah you need to have them replace your phone, not the screen protector.
I’m happy with the ESR armorite. I hated how thick the Torras was. I’m also at the point where I might just not use one because I really enjoy the experience with no screen protector.
In previous years I’ve always gone with amFilm and been very happy, but this year I had Apple install the Belkin UG2. The fit is perfect on my 16 Pro Max and I really like how the glass feels. My only nitpick is there is a slight rainbow effect when using the phone at an angle.
For those that went with amFilm this year how are you liking it?

If your screen is not perfectly level, screen protectors will not adhere properly. If it’s only one screen protector that won’t adhere it’s probably that protector, but once more than a few won’t adhere it becomes much more likely to be a defective screen. One person on this forum had approximately 10 screen protectors installed at the Apple Store before the employee finally realized the phone was the issue. Subsequently there have been others with the same problem with their screens.
[mention]Itsedstech [/mention] Thank you for suggesting I exchange the device. No issues with the Belkin screen protector now.
Did you get Apple Genius to keep trying to put on more Belkin screen protectors so that they could see for themselves ?if so good
The guy at Apple said that they have been having issues with the screen protectors. People complaining of lifting and cracking after installation. I told him I still wanted one installed on the exchange phone so I can show them that I’m not crazy and that something really is wrong with the phone. Installation was perfect on the new phone on the first try. They said that the old phone was “warped.”
FloLab has confirmed they are working on a new version with thinner black borders (no covering of screen) which should be released sometime this month. They are also working on a “Hot Bending Curved Glass”-version which should cover even more of the front screen.
Will they name this differently? Will there be some way to know this is the edge to edge? Btw you guys have done your research thanks all!
I hope and think so. If they are the first to introduce a new revised version that fits perfectly and every other manufacturer still can’t there’s a chance they could sell a lot.
Can someone that has used and tested these products write a list please of which ones were good bad or not good 👍🏼 many thanks. Maybe we can update this list until something good is released.
