Just take a leap of faith and order one of each lol.

Once you’ve tried both that will help you settle which one to go for this year for new iPhone.

Btw I prefer Benks installation method over Torras. Benks is more dust proof.

Oh I am about to order both and see which one I prefer. I am surprised the Benks isn't more popular as I don't really see many people putting it up there with more popular screen protectors like Flolab.

Are the AR and 3D curved ones a better buy? I don't know much about screen protectors tbh, I just want a durable screen protector that won't crack/show scratches very easily, and looks good when watching content.

the one I bought doesn’t advertise as having AR and honestly, it doesn’t make a difference IMO. There is no difference in sunlight compared to the Origarmour which apparently does have AR

Ahh I see. I personally wouldn’t buy into that. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the ‘non AR’ one in sunlight.

What is the difference between the 3D and non 3D?

The edges. 3D is curved to almost the edges of the phone. Non 3D has straight ashes which will more than likely pick up lint at first

Very nice install with the Benks.

No screen cut in from black borders. Held phone in the sun and AR seems good (as if working though the protector as this protector doesn’t have it. Definitely no obvious reduction compared to Origarmour. See how it holds up

Three weeks on the phone now and not a single mark or scratch.

Torras was also my go to.

Benks has taken the crown.
 
Hello -
I picked up my iPhone 17 Pro Max and I'm currently hunting for the perfect screen protector.

I’ve historically just grabbed whatever was cheap and well-reviewed on Amazon, but I recently got to try a buddy's phone with a Belkin protector (the one they install at the Apple Store) right next to another friend's phone using a standard amFilm glass protector.
The difference in tactile feel was wild. The Belkin felt incredibly smooth, slick, and premium... almost exactly like the bare factory glass, and fingers glided right over it. The amFilm felt fine structurally, but it definitely had a bit more resistance/friction and just felt "cheaper" to the touch under a finger swipe.

I know the Belkin comes with a massive Apple Store premium tax, so I'm trying to see if there are other brands I should look at that nail that ultra-smooth, premium oleophobic coating feel without the insane markup.

If you're picky about how your screen feels to touch (especially for swiping around on the massive 17 Pro Max display), what are you running?Does anything match or beat the Belkin slickness?

Appreciate any recommendations!
