Upon further inspection it seems like the cheaper ones do not have anti reflective coating.
That is correct. And from what I gather by reading other people's comments, it looks like the dimensions are slightly different as well.
 
Is the problem only with 512gb, if so how is that possible? Are they not the exact same outer casing as the other storage options? I am also having an issue where the screen protector is bubbling on the bottom right hand corner on the 16 pro 512gb. I have tried esr armorite and esr standard glass screen protector and both exact same problem.
Any of them tested on 512gb that don't do this? UK customer here.
Thanks in advance.

Do you think its likely to be an issue with the phone then? Have you tried esr protectors?
If multiple screen protectors are pulling up in the same area it’s most likely the screen. There have been a few people on the forum with this issue.
 
So guys my phone is finally coming and getting ready to buy my case and screen protector.
So at this moment in time this best screen protector is the Belkin one right?
 
Just installed Ultraglass. Much better than the ESR Armorite. I aso had Belkin and cracked on day 2. Belkin screen is slim.

Mine looks like that when installing the protector but after some fiddling it’s perfect.
 
I used a squeegee and a credit card. I’ve had my current protector (Belkin UG2) installed for a few weeks and it hasn’t lifted yet.
yeah, no matter what i try that doesn't work on mine unfortunately, it stays there regardless & I have tried about 6-7 esr protectors but they all come out exactly the same. For the people that have the same issue as I have had with the corner not sticking correctly, what did you do? Did you find a protector that stuck or swap it for another iPhone & did that solve it?
Many thanks.

I had that issue with the spigen. The cheap ESR 3 pack and the new ultraglass adhered flawlessly though

If you have an Apple Store nearby, I’d suggest purchasing a Belkin UG2 in the store and having them install it. If the installation is good, problem solved, if not, they will keep trying and eventually replace your phone.

My belkin has been beautiful. I love this screen protector! It is really good with any finger printing (I was my hands a LOT though) but it covers the whole screen with I see at my work most do not. I’m really happy with it!

If anyone has installed the UltraGlass anti-reflection screen protector and also tried having Apple Install the Belkin Screen protector, which one did you like better? Does the UltraGlass anti-reflection really help with reflections and fingerprints?

I had the Apple machined installed Belkin on my 16 Pro and it has already cracked. Not even sure how it happened. I like the Belkin, but seems thicker compared to the screen protector I had on my 15 PM (Torras) and also seems to get a lot of smudges. Tried the Torras for the 16 Pro and was not the same as the updated Torras model from last year.

Received an Apple installed replacement from Belkin, but may try the Ultraglass anti-reflection first if people provide positive feedback that have tried both.

Thanks!
