I’m currently using a Flolab screen and open bottom Bullstrap case and my finger catches the screen protector when swiping up. Are there any alternative screen protectors that cover more of the screen or have more of a curve so the finger catching thing doesn’t happen?
Got a tip for us?

Screen protector that doesn’t catch your finger.

Not really unless you go with a film but then you will sacrifice protection in other ways. You are literally adding material on top of another surface so you will always feel something.
SmartDevil 3D hot bend version. Real Edge to Edge coverage with a curve that won’t catch at all. Thin black borders that don’t cover the “L”’s at all. Comes with an over-engineered applicator that makes the packaging huge.
Cons are, you can only find it on Aliexpress(so if in the US, you will be charged that Trump tax)and most cases won’t work with it because it covers the entire screen. Apple Silicone, full Leather cases, aramid shell cases, and surprisingly, the Benks Prestige work fine with it. Phone Rebel cases will not.

I just found this on AliExpress: $44.55 | Baseus 3D Curved Tempered Glass for iPhone 16 15 Pro Max Hot Bending Full Coverage Shatterproof Clear Corning Screen Protector

I have this Baseus screen protector for my iPhone 15 pro and it’s the best screen protector I’ve ever had. It does not cover any of the screen and has the 3d hot bending just like the Smart Devil with smooth edges. It also seems to be cheaper and not include the same tariff charges as the Smart Devil protector. I did buy mine before all the tariffs started and at the time it was only $13.00 but at $23.00 it still is definitely worth it. I would recommend you try that over the Smart Devil due to the extra fees/tariffs the Smart Devil has.
Yea Ive ordered Baseus but its funny how folks keep recommending SmartDevil but reluctant to share pics.I just found this on AliExpress: $44.55 | Baseus 3D Curved Tempered Glass for iPhone 16 15 Pro Max Hot Bending Full Coverage Shatterproof Clear Corning Screen Protector

@iFone88 ordered SmartDevil but the screen protector he received wasn’t no way near the hype created on MR.

I was looking at that one also, but a few months ago, it wasn't instock for the 16 Pro Max. The Baseus and the SmartDevil were the only ones beside The Flolab that mentioned any 3D hot bend. I bet the Baseus and SmartDevil are probably made by the same factory. They both also advertise the use of Corning branded glass in their marketing material.
I use Tech Armor static cling screen protectors. Cheap, easy to replace, available in a multi-pack on Amazon. I gave up on glass screen protectors as i find them too fragile (chipping/cracking).
One tip for installing these static cling protectors is to align the protector before removing the film and tape it down to the side of the phone, creating a hinge with the tape. This allows you to clean the screen completely and then quickly apply the protector in one motion without any dust or dirt getting under it.

So its a plastic film? I do think most prefers the feel of glass on their iphone screen. Also how would plastic thin film help protect the screen from deeper scratches. Like when someone drops their phone on gravel, asphalt etcI use Tech Armor static cling screen protectors. Cheap, easy to replace, available in a multi-pack on Amazon.
