I’m liking the new FloLab protector. I had a perfect install which is crucial since it only comes with one in the package. I’ve used Belkin UltraGlass which has been subpar for me since it’s cracked two times out of nowhere. Belkin do however provide very good customer care at least here in Denmark (EU) since they’ve replaced the protector without charge both times.
warranty vel "shipping by FLOLAB" is 10e, they had left the old tray so installing a new sized screen protector with it is hit or miss so you would need probably 4 tries or so. That gives avg cost of 80e and there is no warranty you ever get it installed correctly.

Actually looking at their marketing strategy, and I would much more likely burn those money in my fireplace to warm me up (just an expression, bc I would give it to some poor or needing), than give my money to such a scammy brand. Oh and if anyone thinks calling them scammy is to tough on them: The only reason they exist and run away with it is bc they are shipping from China, they have no legal registered place anywhere outside China so they bypass any local law protecting consumers, bypass any taxes and still manage to ask the same price as any locally lawfully working brand. And they call a 10e replacement ass a warranty where my local European law gives me up to two years to resign if I'm not satisfied.

I think pretty much all these screen protectors come from the same Chinese factory , they just change the name. I'm still looking for a screen protector for my 16Pro but I can't find a reliable review on amazon. I read the negative ones, and just like my ESR, most of them they crack or chip without any drops, or they don't fit properly or have bubbles..
I don't know if this is an issue with the 16s screen protectors , as I never had this cracking issue on my old phones
 
FloLab FINALLY dropped the 3D hot bend glass protector. Already ordered, will update once I get it.

Thanks for the heads up. Can we assume these won’t work with most cases? Perhaps only those that don’t have a front lip?

I had the ESR armoite and it had a noticeable gap, in particular when swiping up from the bottom. There was also significant rainbowing on the edges. I emailed them and got it refunded so kudos to great customer service. After reading reviews on different offerings went with the TORRAS. Decided that the black bezels is worth the tradeoff of sharp edges and rainbowing. It fits very well with the Apple silicone case. The gap is still there but much smaller than compared to the ESR.

They’re advertising it as fitting “most” cases on the market, but personally I would assume anything beyond having a very minimal lip might have an issue with it.

Is it on Amazon?
 
Btw, FloLab’s naming scheme is borderline criminal!
I mean they release a new 3d and on the bottom of the page if you scroll down the whole "comparison" is with screen protectors for iphones 15?? LOL So yeah...it is hard to take them seriously. And my prev post still stands, meaning their screen protector is almost impossilble to install right bc of a ****** rack. So I laugh hard reading their website:
-magic of anti reflective? sry but there is no visible difference
-antimicrobial treatment....yeah right XD
-fortified for durability...my protector chipped after putting my phone screen down on the edge of my macbook from a height of 5 cm...so yeahh...like I just touched it
-smudge resistant...nah ********
-lifetime warranty...they offer no warranty, I mean not even the standard one you get with any shop and any product, they are chinese company run from China, the warranty is a paid one, so even if it is their fault like for example they send you a wrong/broken screen protector or you got bubble after installation, you have to pay 10$ at least for a replacement no matter what (so called "shipping cost" for some reason crazy expensive). You can't send it back, you can't resign.
-easy onetime installation...they plastic installation thingy is same for years, and it is impossible to install the protector correctly without shifting it to the side or top bottom and that results in a huge bubble
 
I honestly just get the mid price range ones from aliexpress, and they seem to be working just fine. Got them all from there for all of my previous phones, so it worked out fine
 
FloLab has been heavily promoted by influencers, but in the real world I’ve read plenty of stories like yours. Also, their oleophobic coating has always been sub par.

I’m having good luck with the Belkin UG2 this year. I did the install at home and haven’t had any issues since. It’s the thinnest glass protector in the market, so there are reports of unexplained cracking, but mine has been good so far. I like the thinness and the oleophobic coating has held up well.
Like you I have a great experience with the Belkin. I’ve had the screen protector since day one and the oleophobic coating is the best I’ve ever had! No chipping on mine either and no cracks. I still recommend this one over any others! I could get a screen protector from where I work (At&T) but I still opted for Belkin. Best screen!
 
Does anyone have a good take on which screen protector to get if you're gonna be using the iPhone 16 Pro without a case?

Reading back the thread, I am considering the Belkin UG2 and the just released FloLab hot bend.
Not as much concerned with price, but more with it being edge to edge (since no case) and overall quality/feel.

Edge to edge you’d want the new flolab. Don’t get the belkin

I would wait for the reviews of the new FloLab. Might be the one but hard to tell without seeing reviews first.

Personally I’d never take any corporation seriously that charges $50 for one screen protector and $10 an exchange plus wait. 🇬🇧
Marketing geniuses.
