iPhone SE 2020 screen protector

The Belkin Invisiglass protectors advertised on the Apple website install easily but leave a 1mm "halo" around the edges where the protector does not adhere to the screen, which is curved ever so slightly toward the edges where the iPhone 7/8 screens were flat. Most of the other manufacturers' offerings have the same issue, apparently because Apple led them to believe the new SE had precisely the same external dimensions as the iPhone 7/8. I have communicated with Belkin and Apple and they are happy to refund my $40, but neither seems to have much interest in addressing the design issue. Bottom line: None of the glass screen protectors advertised as fitting an iPhone 7/8 and the 2020 SE will fit. The only protector that will fit the 2020 SE is one designed specifically for it; as far as I know no one has offered one.

Link launches my Amazon.co.uk app. Guess it's showing the iphone 8 protector. On investigation the SE 2020 version isn't avaliable on UK store. I'll delete my previous post, sorry.
I just removed my Supershieldz black border tempered glass protector because for some wacky reason they leave a tiny hair thick gap between the glass and the front facing camera area and I ended up with pocket lint all over my camera after only a little over a week.
I just installed the iCarez black border display protector. It came with an alignment tray that honestly put the glass a hairs width a bit too far to the bottom left. But it’s still a viable installation and I will keep it on until the glass accumulates enough scratches or dust.
There is no halo and the glass adhered immediately with one finemy spattered bubble that disappeared in a matter of minutes. It’s inexpensive on Amazon’s USA site and comes in a two-pack.
As always with these blasted things, your mileage may vary.
Update: well I don’t know how or why but the edges did gradually lose adhesion. I can smooth it all down and the little halo effect goes away for a few minutes but then they start separating from the glass again.
