iPhone 17 Pro screen protector bubbles on edge

I've been using this one from TOCOL and it's been great. Installed it on the 19th and it still looks great around the edges. It was cheap as well. I actually prefer this screen protector over the expensive Belkin one I used on my 16 PM.

Installing screen protectors on the 17 PM and 16 PM models can be a pain as the screen is so close to the edge with no room for errors.

looks like this has black borders around the edge which is a deal breaker for me

Posted in the iPhone thread too, but i have this issue.

First I used the $40 Torras, and there was a small bubble at the edge just where the speaker is above the notch. can't get it to press down and stay down.

Tried the ESR 3-pack i had also ordered before the Torras. WAY WORSE. the entire edge almost all the way around the whole device was bubbled and coudlnt stick down. it's like the whole protector needs to be smaller?

Then did another Torras. Better, but it's back. they are sending me new ones / letting me return.

better photo attached here than i put in the other thread

EDIT: also FWIW for some reason my wife's phone didn't have this issue at all (i applied it for her, blue pro) but i've been having it with every protector i try. maybe it's actual phone variability with how much it curves at the edges or something, with new aluminum base adding this variability? (i know i'm reaching/making assumptions with this last part but idk!)

interesting, i peeled off & reapplied my dbrand prism like 10 times trying to get rid of the bubbles. managed to reduce most of them but still have major edge bubbles running along the entire bottom edge and most of the right side.
still having screen bleed on th edges so if they made them even smaller it would worsen that aspect.

The Torras is what worked fine on my wife’s phone, but several of them haven’t worked on mine (bubble on top).. I swear there must be some slight phone variability at play here *tinfoil hat* haha

I've had phones that would have bubbles in protectors no matter which I tried. Turned out to be an issue with the phone screen.

This is so weird! I guess I got lucky, no issues for me. I have the Belkin that is applied at the Apple Store.
