How're the edges on that Belkin protector? Any sharpness to be felt? Last year's was rough.

I have half a mind to go without one this year, due to the "50% tougher" glass (whatever that means) but scratches drive me insane.

Just pulled the trigger on the Belkin. They're $32 on Amazon currently (stock looked low) directly from Belkin, or if you go on Belkin's website they're 15% off. Don't need someone to install it, so I hope Belkin saves the day for me.

This is why I wanted to order through Amazon. If I get mine, and the edges are sharp, I'll return it.

Zagg always makes some good rounded edges, so if Belkin doesn't work out I'll try Zagg next.
 
I will try this later..

I purchased the Ksleri Matte Glass Screen protector for my new 16PM. I had it on my 15PM as well and absolutely LOVE it. Yes, it does dull the phones screen a little bit but the trade off is a HUGE reduction in fingerprints and smudges on the screen...Id say by about 95% or so, and it helps with the glare in sunlight as well. It doesn't totally eliminate the glare from sunlight but it helps. Here is a link to them in the Amazon US store. At the time of this posting they are $12.99USD(Prime two-day) and it includes two screen protectors and one of those installation frames that help with the install.

Again, can't give enough praise/hype for these screen protectors if you are looking for a matte one(No I'm not affiliated with them in any way. Just a happy customer after trying numerous different matte screen protectors.lol)

Edit: Someone might think "Show us a picture".....my 16PM is my only camera, so no picture.lol

I found out it was actually my phone screen that was warped! When I went to apple today today to exchange my case color and get the screen protector swapped they tried SEVEN different ones and none would lay flat. Then we realized it was the phone that was warped! So I had to swap my whole phone today. nor a huge deal but looks like I’ll spend another evening logging into everything 😂

That's pretty effed up. QC going down the drain? Shouldn't even be remotely a thing one should be worried about for these prices lol. At least you found out soon enough!

I've always used Spigen for tempered glass protection. They have saved my iPhones many times. The new iPhone 16 Pro Max protection was easy to put on and always fits perfectly. They even give you a tool for the bevelled edges. The price point is excellent for the level of protection you get.

I bought the UltraGlass screen protector and installation was easy and it looks good, but the bezels aren't perfectly sized. This one has the black edges but they're slightly too big that it covers a tiny bit of the screen. you can't see it during normal use, but when using something like camera control which is at the edge of the screen, you can tell the icons get a little cut off. does torras fit perfectly?

Got the amFilm OneTouch for my 16 Pro and I'm liking it - installation went great; it's nice and clear; no issues with touch. Of course now it's 10% off after I paid full price ($10 US) for it, but whatever...

I’m looking for something like the one I had on my 14PM. Was borderless complete edge to edge and also had a mesh that covered the earpiece ( didn’t effect sound output ) .

Torras for me, had them on my 15 Pro too.
I installed the on my 16pro. it was a tough install bubble wise, but I eventually got them out, but I'm disappointed by how sharp the edges are relative to all the other tempered glass protectors I've had over the years. also, it's much thicker which may explain the sharper edges (but also maybe more durable)

Ordered the Shellrus sapphire, was using a regular clear protector till that came in but I saw pictures on how much coverage the belkin ultra 2 has so I placed my order for that. Will post pics tomorrow if I don’t mess up that install lolIMG_8350.jpeg
 
Have the ESR Armorite installed and while it went on perfect it does have the rainbow effect along the edges.

Just wondering if the Belkin Ultraglass 2 would be better?

See a guy on YouTube and he says no rainbow on the edges at all.

None whatsoever. I love mine. Feels phenomenal. Even better than the bodyguardz I had on last year. I say do that one for sure!

Metagamers video convinced me to order one. Seeing how far the glass goes past the oled portion sold me. No wonder there’s no rainbowIMG_8364.jpeg
