I’ve been reading all pages before deciding, I think I’m going to do exactly what you’re doing, I’m going with the ESR oh… and just right now my wife told me she bought me an ESR case so I think it’ll be perfect. I wanted the torras but I don’t think it’ll be doable because of the case thing.
I ordered the Torras origarmor anti glare. Seems to be the closest to the flolab or even better. $35 from Amazon so it was cheaper. And I don’t want to risk getting the flolab when they don’t even have their 3d version out yet. I hope this Torras one fits right. I’ll report back once I do get it installed.
Is anyone worried about the installation tray scuffing the aluminum frame?

Yeah I used it to get a new case and it worked but stopped today for me.
Between the 3 levels for the ESR ones, $9, $20, $30 - is there a noticeable/real improvement in each of them?
I tend to get cracks in the "basic" ones every 3-4 months, so well worth the extra $20 per expensive phone, but in reality are they THAT much different?

I'm more concern about it working with cases since it installs so close to the edge cases could lift it up.
Now I’m curious too. I bought the middle one but can’t tell what difference there is with the more expensive one. Far as I can tell it’s slightly more impact resistantBetween the 3 levels for the ESR ones, $9, $20, $30 - is there a noticeable/real improvement in each of them?

Me too, I got the middle too - figure worth a few extra bucks but is there REALLY a difference
The $30 is marketed as being made by Corning, who I believe makes most of the mobile phone glass in the industry, including Gorilla Glass. It also shows as 10x the impact absorption, compared to 7x with the $20 one.
Who knows how this translated to actual real world use, though.
That one has anti reflective properties so worth it over cheap one.Me too, I got the middle too - figure worth a few extra bucks but is there REALLY a difference
Haven’t used one for the past 3 devices but my current 16P has a few scratches which is a first. I’m not a heathen but I don’t baby my phone and have cracked quite a few glass protectors in the past (edges). It’s kind of annoying when you start spending a good amount replacing them when you could just replace the entire screen for not much more. I’m debating it for the Air though.
It looks like Torras only makes the GlassGo for the Air. From their website it looks like the difference is the origarmor has an AR coating and the GlassGo doesn’t. But since it’s a 2 pack vs 1 maybe there are other differences too. I’m ordering that one and the ESR to compare on my Air.
That’s exactly my concern but being that I have Apple Care maybe I’ll just leave it without protection
The Belkin protector sold in Apple stores that they install for you, is it $40 like the one they sell online? I remember last year the one they install for you wasn’t sold online but I can’t remember what I paid.
