Anybody tried the Flolab Matte. I know Matte screen protectors can make the screen look worse and blurry. Is this the case?
Got a tip for us?

Fits beautifully in my Ryan London case, too. No gaps for dust to gather!
How extensively did you test touch? Can you compare it to anything? Or just let us know if super light presses are registered? Like use the tip of your finger and tap as light as you can. With my Flolab, I was able to tap light and nothing would happen until my finger started to mush on the screen from pressure. Now with a Belkin ultra glass, it works almost as good as a bare display.I’ve finally found the holy grail of screen protectors!

Also if you can post a pic of the protector edge, that would be appreciated.
Thanks!

That’s great! I’ve also ordered the two pack version, which almost always shows unavailable, for 29€ and waiting for it to be delivered. However, my Belkin Ultraglass 2 is holding up pretty well and I’m reluctant to replace it before it shows any wear, so I’ll be waiting for your report!Have ordered this and will update everyone when it arrives about how it feels and other stuff
I’ve used it before! What questions do you have?
I personally prefer the Motcha Matte protector over the Flolab matte protector. The screen feels much smoother and provides a more competitive value.
From Aliexpress. I would probably get it after the iPhone 17 line is released. 😀I’ve finally found the holy grail of screen protectors!

It seemed promising at first, but the Amazon reviews are an absolute disaster. Finding the right screen protector in Europe is seriously tough!

Ouch, i wish i ordered the two pack considering one is around 18 euros.
It has shipped as is in air apparently so should arrive early/mid next week so we'll see.
I've used Spigen, Torras, Phone Rebel (the ones you get with his cases) and a basic tempered glass that we offer (i work in a phone accessories store) and i got to say, the basic one was the best so far.
Spigen usually makes top tier ones, used on 15 Pro Max, but this year they're rough.
Adhesive wouldn't stick on lower left corner on three different pieces and there was so much dust gathering around the edges.
Torras is great, adhesive was good, you don't even notice it, the only thing is their bezels are thicker than phones' so it "eats" a bit of screen which messed with me lol.
Hoping this SmartDevil one will be the last one i try, the photo reviews of the glass are giving me hope since people are satisfied with them.
Oh, and Phone Rebel's glass did not stick at all on the edges xD
Will update as soon as i receive it and apply it
So I am about to order now, which one is the best Flolab to go for as there are many different screen protectors on their site?
I want to get the best once possible as I know it will not be easy to return once I have bought it, so I want to make sure I get it right!
I’m using the 3D version. It’s been linked numerous times in this thread already.
US peeps, Woot is selling the Belkin Ultraglass 2 for 16 series phones just under $6. I ordered a couple and have to say I'm impressed. I miss the AR from my previous protector, but the coverage is great and oleophobic coating as well. The installation tray leaves a lot to be desired, but if you're careful it works just fine.
I had those and perfectly installed it first try and promptly removed it and threw it in the trash. The fingerprints on it were a nightmare within 5 minutes of using and I do not have dirty / greasy hands or anything.
I prefer the matte protector for the glass. It feels better to use and are less prone to fingerprints. The screen does look slightly darker and less clear but that is a compromise I am willing to live with for the added benefits of no/low glare and no fingerprints.
My experience has been different. I’ve had mine on for almost four months now. Fingerprints have only recently started to show and only when my fingers are dirty and greasy, so in my case, I wouldn’t call it a nightmare. I’m very satisfied with mine in this respect and for 6 dollars only, I’d get a couple if I lived in the States.
That being said, the Belkin Ultraglass 2 suffers from other issues already mentioned,such as a poor installation tray that is very easy to leave you with dust under the protector, it scratches easily and most importantly it leaves a gap in the edges.
Really don’t want to start a political debate. What would be your recommendations for an edge-to-edge glass screen protector for iPhone 16 Pro that isn’t made by an American company (I’m Canadian)?
I had been waiting for Flolab to come out with their edge-to-edge glass protector, but now that they have it, I’d rather give my business to a company from another country (nothing against the American people, just the current situation)
* won’t engage with people wanting to debate or argue about the current situation, as that’s not the point *

I'm pretty sure they are all made in China, just that American companies buy from suppliers there. AliExpress would be your best way of avoiding any US brand. Someone posted a link to a hot-bend version from AliExpress. The SmartDevil one or the Basesus one. I've only seen Flolab, SmartDevil, and Basesus offer the hot-bend versions...I assume they come from the same factory.
Flolab or Belkin (the one that Apple can install for you)
Which is the better screen protector?

Do you have screen touch issues with the flolab protector? I hear this is a common problem with the screen protector.....
