iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max Screen Protector

Has anyone used
Benks Ultra Shield HD Screen Protector for iPhone 16 Pro or
Benks GlassWarrior Sapphire Screen Protector for iPhone 16 Pro?

How is the coverage? Does it take up space from the screen? Does it cause light leakage from the sides or a rainbow effect?

Alright folks! We have the first winner of the 16 Pro season! Gap is best I’ve seen so far. Screen is not blocked. Oleophobic coating is very strong. It’s a little pricey but I’m very happy with it. Strongly recommend this!

How does this compare to the Torras one this year? That’s what I’m using currently, and the oleophobic coating on mine is garbage. Fit isn’t bad though.

Also, if you’ve used the upgraded diashield 3D from Torras for the 15 PM, how does the UltraGlass compare to that? That was probably the closest a screen protector has ever got to perfect for me personally.

My second attempt with the install and fit has been great with the UltraGlass anti-reflective for the 16 Pro. It’s more than I want to pay for a single screen protector. The black borders are not something I’m used to with a screen protector, but it’s not blocking the screen. This is the first SP for me with zero adhesive issues on the sides and edges. I still had a lot of bubbles that were not easy to remove, but unlike my first try, I was finally able to work them out with the microfiber cloth and scraper. Maybe others can comment on the oleophobic coating. I see a good amount of smudges.

I haven’t used the Torras one this year because of all the reports that I read about the black borders covering part of the display. But for me, the best oleophobic coating I’ve ever had on a SP was last year on the WSKEN (I’m so disappointed in their offering this year). The ultraglass is not quite as strong as that one, but it works well enough.

I’m done buying screen protectors for the time being.

Some pics of the Ultraglass Unbreak Anti Reflection edition you will notice that still has some gap but is minimal and is thinner than torras and the regular ultraglass which makes the dust to not get stuck on the gaps like the thick protectors - the thick protectors are raised which makes way easier for dust get trapped in a “corridor” between the silicone case and the protector and this is not happening here also as you can see if you look straight to the screen you can see clearly the 4 Ls only if you move a little bit to the side it may cover a little one or another due to the parallax effect and do not bother me at all - really happy with this one you can see and feel this is a premium product the best so far and the best quality screen protector on Amazon right now, I wish I have tried this one before. Finally I found the chosen one! 🙏

How is the oleophobic coating on this?
 
I have finally ordered my 16 Pro
What is the best screen protector out right now that I should order..?
I know most of them are disappointing sadly
 
How has the Belkin Ultraglass track record been in recent years?

I recall they had really bad issues with the sp cracking randomly without any major impact. This was probably around the iPhone 12/13 series period.

It seems like the exact same this time around. My first one broke out of nowhere along the edge a week after installing it. Fortunately they offer free replacements so I received a new one shortly after which has held up perfectly for about a month.

My first one cracked within two weeks. They sent me a replacement and got installed two days ago. Will see how long that lasts. Wish someone would make a great screen protector this year and really wish just did not need one.

Ahh, it seems like same old same old. I have been on other sp brands since those dark days but I've just went back to Belkin again due to the lack of good black borders sp. Now, fingers crossed that this time round it'll last longer.

Another Qn - for those who got it installed at an Apple Store, can we just walk back in to get them replaced on the spot?

No. You have to go through the Belkin website for the warranty.

The upgraded FloLab protector is around £40 to get it delivered to the UK (inc. P&P), which isn't too bad if it's a good fit.
Looking forward to hearing the reviews on the product.
