Hmmmm. Thanks, may order and see. Have had my perfectly aligned Torras on since October and tempted to renew
Was going to give give these a shot until I was presented with $45.24 “Additional charges” for the tariffs 😭I’ve finally found the holy grail of screen protectors!
Hot bend, edge to edge? Check!
No obstructed pixels (even in camera app)? Check!
Great oleophobic coating and touch response? Check!
SmartDevil Corning Tempered Glass For iPhone 16 Pro Max 16 Pro 15 Pro Dust-Proof Screen Protector with Quickly Install Tool - AliExpress 202192403

Fits beautifully in my Ryan London case, too. No gaps for dust to gather!
Any pics without the case? Please post.It has arrived!!
I gotta say, this is the best temp glass i’ve tried so far.
FULLY edge to edge, has almost no gap between the original clear case and the glass.
Nothing is covered, all L’s in camera are fully visible (even though it has a black (!!) bar so no rainbow effect on edges either)
Installation is also quite simple, although everything comes in a big box which was funny to see.
Have used Spigen, Torras, Phone Rebel etc and this one is the winner by a far.
Of course it’s only day one so i don’t know about how long it will last (I rarely drop my phone).
Add me to the list of people angry at Flolabs 3D bend protectors.
The alignment tray is off. I’ve tried two protectors and both came out unaligned with part of the protector not touching the screen at all.
$10 to get another defective protector is a scam.

Yeah, exactly what I'm trying to say and prevent others from losing money. I gave up after 4th or 5th where I even tried to use the tray with the screen on with the camera open on my phone to see the camera corners. Somehow by luck I've managed to put it symmetrical sideways but still I got a bubble due to the speaker hole on top of a 16PM. I consider it almost impossible to install correctly, maybe if somehow you manage to put it symmetricaly sideways and push as much to the bottom as you can...but why di I have to pay for all that?
btw...you don't have to be a master engineer to see that if you keep the 0.8mm of space from each side (sp vs the screen) but the tray provided for installation has 5mm of play from each side, it is pure luck if you put the sp centered and still the top speaker is still the problem anyways
Do you guys bother wiping the phone down and use the dust sticker when installing a screen protector to a brand new iPhone 16 Pro Max?
I use my phone naked rn.
I used my phone for a couple of hours without a screen protector, when I had to take off the broken one and was waiting for another delivery from Flolab. During those couple of hours, despite being crazy careful, like putting my phone into a soft cloth before putting it into my pocket etc. somehow (probably Murphys law) I got a scratch on my screen. After that, another flolab had a huge bubble on top so I decided to just use my phone naked and eventually replace a screen via a phone insurance I have bought.
Btw. in hindsight the screen protectors from flolab were not working and were more expensive than a no limit insurance for two years from my mobile provider (I mean only limit is that I can replace/repair my phone once a year and not more often but the repair has no cost limit so in theory I can put my phone under a car and get a new one)
After half a year of abusing my phone I have two small scratches only (on my screen) and despite giving up on any case, the bvody of my phone looks brand new which is crazy I think (gold one). And I would choose those two scratches over any screen protector any day.
And I don't really care about resale value bc I use my phones 4-5 years anyways.
No. I remove the factory plastic wrap and immediately apply the protector. I’ve never had issues with bubbles or dust doing this.
The regular one does accumulate dust. Although it’s mostly covered by the black border.
The 3D one doesn’t get dust. But from my experience as well as others on this forum it is useless. The alignment tray doesn’t work. And the a warranty is scammy.
Is the 3D screen protector the newest one?
Has anybody had success with it?
I just installed the 3D Flolab on my new phone, a few days ago.
After two misaligned installs, I got a 3rd warranty replacement… but, didn’t even bother installing it; I was curious about the Privacy version, and it installed flawlessly.
Anyway… Since I’ve had this one laying around, I figured I’d install it, just to have some sort of protection. To my surprise, it went on perfectly! I didn’t have to readjust it or anything.

Oh and I run casesless so I’m looking for full coverage edge to edge
I bought two of the Flolab 3D screen protectors for my new phone which is arriving next week. Having read the comments on here, it seems that this screen protector is flawed and I made a mistake buying them?
Is there a point of me bother installing the Flolab onto my new phone next week? I am thinking of perhaps going to Apple and buying the Belkin where they can install it on the spot....
I second this!
I am in the UK as well.
I have purchase the Flolab 3D screen protector which I have no installed yet but it seems the Flolab 3D is bad. Is the Belkin from Apple the next best option?
I think there might have been some initial kinks with the Flolab 3D, that may have been ironed out over time.
The two I had issues with were ordered in Jan.; I received the one that I just installed, at the end of Feb. The Flolab 3D Privacy, that I used in the interim, had zero install/alignment issues… it also got it in Feb.
Maybe it took them a month to sort out the issues, idk… But, the one I’m using is pretty perfect. Hopefully, yours will be too!
I'm EU based (Poland) and we don't have Belkin sp at Apple stores, would pick Belkin over Flolab if I could any day just because they would take all responsibility for the installation. I think you have like 5% to install it correctly so good luck and I feel actually sorry for you
I received my last warranty replacement a few weeks ago and the alignment was way off. (Regular 3D, not privacy)
It seems they still have QA issues.
If you can’t return them then try them. Nothing to lose but a few minutes. For me all the warranty replacements I received have ben defective (16 Pro Max).
Regarding other protectors.
I’ve had good luck with Ailun, ESR and Spigen. Zero alignment issues. I haven’t tried Belkin but it’s non-3D without a black border same as the 3 for $7 ESR.
Yes the 3D is the newest one.
So far I have only seen 2 reports of success with it. It isn’t worth it
