The OrigArmor would have been the perfect one, but my OCD couldn’t handle the micro-scratche. I ended up getting a sapphire screen protector, but I loose the Anti-Reflectiveness.
Mine is too new to see any micro scratches. Did they affect clarity/usage with screen on? Or only visible when the screen was off?
 
Figured I would chime in. I’ve tried so many screen protectors on my 17 Pro. I cannot find a perfect one! Here’s where we stand as far as the best:

Flolab 3D: The clearest screen. Best AR. No light bleed. But cuts off a little bit of the right side. Also hard to get installed without bubbles but it just takes some practice. (Get it off Amazon and return if you have an issue).

TORRAS Origarmor: Perfect fitment. No light bleed. AR isn’t as good and almost has a greasy feeling to it. Lastly it scratches wayyyy too easy (from nothing!). Flolab 3D is better.

TORRAS released a NEW Origarmor LITE a week or two ago. It’s better than the original except it cuts off a little of the right (very little) but man the AR is amazing and it’s the best feeling one… and no scratches whatsoever. Black border but not 3D so depending on the case you can see some light bleed. It’s $5 cheaper and has a different thumbnail on Amazon.

ESR told me they have a new protector coming out end of the month that will not cover any of the screen. I’m excited to try that. They are supposed to send me one.

Everything else is garbage. For now I’m rocking the Flolab 3D.

Looking forward to ESR's new protector if its true that it will not cover the screen at all. Regarding the Torras origarmor, still not scratches on mine after a week.
 
The one I just installed doesn't, when checked against the Project Indigo camera app.

Can't say if it would be the same with Apple's camera app, since the brackets aren't present in 26.
Just an update I installed the Namaso which Bryan? Recommended. It’s quite good. No hard edges when used without case and it shows all the camera L shapes on either side of the screen. However there’s another test which is slightly failed. With that test it covers slightly the 4 corners of the iPhone pixel wise. Definitely a good screen protector. Oh I did notice one micro scratch immediately after application so faint wasn’t worth sending it back over.

AR any good?

Put this on this evening; forgot how much I appreciate a matte protector.

Interesting. How’s the fit? Does it cover the whole screen or does it bleed a bit on some edge? Does it collect dust along the edge since it doesn’t have a black border?

Actually fits really well. Subtle edge compared to Torras protector I took off. Not sure on dust yet but doesn’t appear it’ll be an issue. Installation tray thing left me with protector installed perfectly centered! Not sure how long it’ll last but so far no regrets but at price I paid I couldn’t be super mad lol
