I’ve had good luck with the Belkin. Did a home install that turned out perfect (with a little luck). So far, no chips or cracks, just a small amount of dust accumulation around the edge. Love the thinness and overall the best I’ve tried this year.
Apologise for not following previous posts, how long time have you had the Belkin on?
 
Does the screen protector stick back down after you remove the case or is it ruined?
When first installed the bubbles would come out. I tried the case again after the protector was on for 3 days and the but then one bubble was permanent
 
I wonder if it's a better idea to get a "cheaper" screen protector like the Spigen or the Torras and replace it more often, rather than a more expensive one.

I noticed that the oleophobic coating wears out after a couple months and there's a weird fog/haze that develops.

How often are you guys replacing your screen protector?
 
Unless damaged mine will last until chipped or cracked, which is rare. My wife has my 'old' iPhone 15 Pro Max that still has the same screen protector I installed on that phone's launch day.

They seem more fragile on the new models maybe because of the bezels idk.

I tried the Walmart Corning one, great fit and feel and seems sturdier but had the worst install setup I’ve used yet and I ended up with a few specks of dirt under the glass which I then made worse.

I went from the Torras to the new Flolab. I am super happy with the change. The thickness of the screen protector is great and there is no screen cut in although the fingerprints are sight issue on Flolab.
 
I installed the dbrand prism 2.0 screen protector. I’m a fan. It’s a lot more smooth on the edges than the Torras one, which is great because I like to use my phone without a case.

When putting on a screen protector on a brand new phone straight from it's box, do you guys bother wiping the phone down/use dust stickers?
 
No, a quick look for obvious dust/lint then let the modern style dust removing film-pull installations do their job.

I always check the phone screen for issues beforehand, so have to wipe it down from swiping on it. Don't want to waste a screen protector.

Ahh a little bit of hair/dust got on the corner of the screen and I only have one Flolab screen protector! They really should send two protectors like most other companies do incase you mess up the first install.

What do I do? Do I just live with the little hair/dust piece in the corner or should I remove the screen protector altogether because of this and get one from Apple?
 
I went from the torras to the new flolab with thinner bezels. While the bezels are ok with the camera corners, the overall size is to small and it leaves a gap all around. Tilting the phone you can see light around all edges.


However the anti glare and polarization friendly features are really good. So much less glare/reflections.


I did contact flolab and they offered a replacement or a discount on the new hot bend glass. Waiting to hear back definitively if that will have the same anti glare and polarization features. Originally think they said no, but someone posted that may have changed.

Did they say when the hot bend will finally be released?
 
I just ordered the Hoda 3D glass one after seeing a photo of the coverage on Reddit. Looks super promising. Crazy expensive though.

I preordered as I was very happy with my 14PM and 15PM. With the 16PM it is cutting into the screen and they told me that they have no plans to change anything. So I wasted a lot of money for my sapphire Screenprotector from Hoda-

I didn’t get the sapphire one, I got the “3D full glue” one which has the curved edges that almost take it to the frame of the phone. I don’t think the sapphire one is advertised as having that 3D edge.

So I’ve been using the updated FloLab for a few weeks now. I’m loving it. Best screen protector I’ve ever used. Love the anti reflective coating. Not a single scratch yet which is very good since I’ve had micro scratches show up after a few days use on every other protector I’ve used.
