Man, have the Torras on since the factory cover was removed. Hope this does not screw up my screens coating :(
The adhesive on screen protectors will NOT damage the oleophobic coating on the iPhone screen. It will have to be something abrasive like... disinfecting wipes or alcohol pads of a certain concentration.

Anyone just have their screen protector installed at the Apple Store? Is the Belkin (I believe) that they use a decent option? I upgrade phones every 4-5 years and honestly the screen protector install is my least favorite part of the experience.

I removed the Torras OrigArmor on my 17 pro yesterday due to many micro scratches that were bugging the crap out of me. I put a cheap temporary one on until the new one I ordered comes in tomorrow. Never heard of this brand BossKiss but it’s currently on Amazon and on sale for $12.23 for a 2 pack and says it has 3d curved edges and doesn’t cover any pixels. It also has anti glare, anti blue light, and no rainbow effect. Worth a try for $13.00. I’ll let you know how it is when I get it installed tomorrow.

Whenever I get a new phone, I get the screensaver installed at the Apple Store. I go for the Belkin option they have in-store. the one that they use their install tool for. I don't even remove the factory installed "screen peel", before installation, to avoid dust / dirt on the screen.

In my experience, Apple is very good with their policy for screen saver installation. They get it right or they will make it right. I have not had any problems with the Belkin screen protector. YMMV :)

Is this the same one that people have been complaining about micro-scratches?

Feel kinda bad for that one guy, who was one of the first, to complain about micro-scratches on his OrigArmor, and no one believed him, with some accusing him of being negligent.

Now reports shows that it was actually true, that this screen protector scratches very easily.

More than likely unless they have addressed any quality concerns. To be honest I haven’t seen any micro scratches on mine and Im on Day 12 now.

I have the torras on my iPhone air. its great except for 1 small problem

I feel like its killed the touchscreen sensitivity. has anyone else experienced this?
 
Is it just the alcohol wipes or the adhesive from the screen protectors?
It’s weird because he said the rubbing alcohol which would be the wipes, and then somebody under comments not to use screen protectors. Like I said I used an alcohol wipe to clean my screen before I installed a Torras OrigArmor after a ESR Corning and I didn’t notice what he posted.

I am on my second. Both had scratches out of the box and they are more prone to scratching than previous years.

Let us know especially the anti glare and rainbow with polarized sunglasses!

my Spigen AluminaCore (installed on the iphone 17 straight out of the box, launch day) now has scratches all over the place, including over the front camera. i can't figure out how this happened as i never put anything else in my pants pocket with the phone. and i've used spigen screen protectors on 3 or 4 generations of phones now, and never had a problem or a scratch until this one.

are these defective or? very surprised. plus the rainbow thing at the edge kind of bugs me.
No problems with my wife’s or mine. She has it for the Air and I have the 17PM. No rainbow either.

maybe i have a bad one. there is another in the box, maybe i should just replace it now. the rainbow might have to do with how precisely the protector is placed? dunno.
 
Here’s hoping either hoda or Shellrus will drop a sapphire screen protector with an AR coating.
I went with Shellrus for the first time and I am impressed with it. My only observation is it does accumulate finger prints but probably no worse than then original glass. Perhaps a better oleophobic coating (if it has one) is in order.
 
I don’t know how people can support Flolab anymore.

They (yet again) released a screen protector that doesn’t fit properly and a month later they dropped their 3D screen protector for the same price.

Anyone who purchased the launch screen protectors got screwed over.
I noted today that if you install the lens protector and press it on too hard, the contact creates a hazy area. Did not affect the camera but bugged me. I remove and the reseated without pressing as hard and its fine. This seems to indicate a rush to production and a lack of testing.
