Anyone else having issues getting screen protectors to not bubble on the edge of the screen on the 17 Pro?

Installed a dbrand prism 2.0 with the applicator provided but around the border of the screen there are long thin bubbles that can not be pressed out.

Have tried reinstalling a few times and recleaning the screen, even using a dust sticker against the sticky side of the screen protector itself, but the bubbles remain.

Appears the 17 Pro screens curve more on the edges. Any other brands of screen protector installed with success?
 
have this one sitting in my amazon cart, how’s the anti reflectivity?
It’s good. Not anything amazing, but better than a normal protector. It does have the black border that covers a couple of pixels on the edges, but I don’t notice it. If that’s a deal breaker for you, then my wife has the Spigen AluminaCore on her Air and it doesn’t have borders. It’s really nice too but the glass on the ESR is clearly better.

shame about the black borders, I prefer screen protectors without that. thanks for the info!
 
I initially got some cheapies from ebay and had the same problem on all the ones i tried - all around the perimeter. Got my ESR ultrafits today and sits perfectly, no issues
