The Spigen goes almost to the very edges of the screen, and over the black border of the phone's screen. I don't see any rainbow effect .
Got a tip for us?

I definitely prefer the Spigen so far (the EZ Fit). It seems to be slightlly more smudgy than the ESR Armorite but it doesn’t collect nearly as much lint/dust around the edges as the ESR.
It has great coverage and the light bleed around the edges is not bad. If still like to find one with the black outline that has higher coverage.

I got this. It is very similar to the Spigen, including the applicator. It comes with four. Unfortunately I went through all four of them and could not get it with no bubbles and dust. I hope peeling these things off doesn’t harm the phone because I peeled off four of them today.
I am not sure what else I can do. Is there any way to actually put one of these things on with no bubbles or dust at all? I really don’t want my screen to be unprotected but I am tired of spending money on something that doesn’t work. It is just throwing money away.

Hmmm, I haven't had smudge or fingerprint issues with mine.
If you can't get the Spigens to try, then try getting an IMOS or Zagg XTR2.
Tiny bubbles are usually due to bigger dust particles preventing a good seal.
Don't be shy on lifting the edge closest to the dust/bubble and sliding a dust remover sticker in. Let it down again to allow the sticker to grab the particle then lift up again and pull the sticker out.
Repeat until clear. You'll probs introduce one or more bits of lint/dust doing this, but stick with it and you'll eventually get a great & clear install.

The Hoda sapphire protector is listed for $50 on their site but it’s a $30 shipping charge! Might as well just get the Shelrus at that point.
Just FYI, I never take/make calls using earbuds, and yet have never gotten earwax in the little spaker place.
$90 for the Shellrus with a $56 shipping charge for me. Will be staying with my Spigen..
Yeah, I’m seeing $88.99 total with shipping on the Shellrus, which already feels exorbitant. Can’t imagine ever justifying the prices you’re quoting.
I gotta say, you all pitching the Spigen screen protectors were right. I got mine today. I cleaned the phone and it went right on. I just had a couple of bubbles that squeegeed right out. My only problem is the applicator left a little scratch on the top of the bezel on the top of my purple phone. I wish that apple made these phones with a brushed finish because then scratches wouldn’t be obvious. No matter though, I guess. It will always be I. A case and I’ll likely forget it was even scratched. And I now have a nice screen protector. I am so glad I didn’t head out to the apple store and pay them!
Anecdotally, I see plenty of people holding their phones to their ears while making calls. I have several sets of wireless earbuds, and one of my daughters has AirPods... but the rest of my family (wife, 6 kids, 17 grands) all hold the phone to their ears... most of my friends, do, as well... so, while it's not empirical data, it certainly is pretty obvious to me.
With that said, I don't think that I've ever seen earwax caked onto the earpiece of a cellphone.
Of course, that is just one man's observation, and as always, YMMV.
IMO, no. There are legitimately better screen protectors available for less money.
I can tell there’s a difference in the oleophobic coating between the two, but not a deal breaker for me.
