IMO, the ESR had fantastic oleophobic coating, but the edges collected a lot of lint. TOZo and iCarez in the past have had solid oleophobic coating for me.
Got my FloLab screen protector in and installed it, looks great. Super easy to install and the fit is great and works with my current case (sonix), I ordered this protector because I wasn’t happy with my previous one (ESR Amorite) and I have to say the FloLab is much better so far.
The Torras Diamond Shield arrived today and I have to say I’m impressed. I’ve found a winner for now. It’s hands down better coverage than the ESR and Spigen. It blends in perfectly with the black border of the 14 PM and has the best edge to edge coverage I’ve seen yet. Zero light bleed even at full brightness and good oleophobic layer. The search is over for me.

I ordered some tempered glass (non armorite) from ESR and received these (not seen these ones before, with the mesh around the speaker grill).....
Anyone had any detriment with the sound coming out the earpiece as it seems to be covered somewhat?

That sounds just like their iPhone 13 range - I still have my ESR Amorite on my 13 Pro (it's been on for over a year) and it STILL collects lint and dust....
Whoever heard of a glass protector attracting lint...?!??!
Seems like ESR quality has dropped dramatically.....
Been using the FloLab for a few days and really liking it so far. This is my first non amazon screen protector and I never realized how horrible those oleophobic coatings were. The FL feels great and coverage is great, even with a case that doesn’t really come over the edges much. Zero light bleed from any angle. Installation I would give a 9/10, because the frame does allow for quite a bit of movement. My first install was crooked and I was worried about removing, but was able reinstall it with no issues or bubbles.
Yeah, my Flolab install frame allowed a little too much side to side movement of the screen protector.
On first attempt the screen protector went on shifted to the left so I lifted and reinstalled which came out perfect.
They do need to tighten up the install frame to protector fit a little for the 14 PM at least.
Interesting... Link to these?I ordered some tempered glass (non armorite) from ESR and received these (not seen these ones before, with the mesh around the speaker grill).....

Which FloLab protector did you order? I see several options listed on their website. Do you know which one is the "standard" one that's similar to Spigen's EZ Fit or the Belkin that's offered in-store?
It looks like Anti-Glare Screen Protector Edge-to-Edge Anti-Microbial Anti-Static Technology may be the one, although it does have anti-glare which I believe means it's matte unlike the other companies.
Yea I believe the anti glare is matte. I have the blue light blocking one, which is clear.

Does the blue light filter added to the protector change the display color that much or is there no effect?
No effect. I was worried about that too, knowing eye glasses typically have a blueish tint to them. It is crystal clear though.

Got these. Very satisfied. Haven’t dropped it yet since the phone has been naked while I wait for my new leather case.
I recently bought the spigen ez fit and what i thought was a cheap protector for both the screen and camera (Its called LK on amazon) and it was surprisingly good. The Ez fit cost me 18 bucks where as the LK cost 13 bucks and had 2 protectors + 2 camera protectors also. Cannot comment too much on the camera protectors because i have not tested them. They fit well and offer great protection but i do feel they will cause glare and hinder the performance potentially in bright outdoor settings. The screen protector was very impressive. Installation was even easier than the ez fit although they are quiet similar. No bubbles, looked great etc Even felt good to touch and seemed to handle finger prints pretty well in my opinion also. If i was to nit pick i would say that maybe the screen felt very slightly less responsive but not really enough to be an issue or to even mention really. On the other hand the spigen was equally as easy to install and looks and feels good but again, if i had to nit pick i would say the spigen arguably gets a bit more smudgy etc but is slightly more responsive as its ever so slightly thinner but again its not really an issue.
Over all its pretty difficult to say one is better than the other but in terms of value the LK one was cheaper, had 2 camera protectors included also and arguably was a slightly more easy / fool proof install. Highly recommend it.

I ordered the Torras today. I have had the ESR Armorite since launch but the lint on the edges is starting to bug me. Seems worse than last year.
