Screen protectors for the 14 Pro/Pro Max [MEGATHREAD]

[The Afroman]

No issue with my amFilm ones.

 

[F-Stop]

Fitted an ESR Amorite glass screen protector immediately after removing the Apple screen cover once the Pro Max was removed from its box….absolutely perfect fitment and bubbles free 😇🤩

Then fitted the ESR Crystal clear MagSafe case…again, perfect fitment and shows off the deep purple back and sides to maximum effect…

Bang chuffed 👊

I have the Spigen EZ fit on my 14 PM. Install was perfect. No bubbles.

When using the Spigen wait 20 seconds or more before removing the tray. Push the bubbles out with the supplied squeegee. Any artifacts should disappear over night.

Ditto. Easiest, cleanest install ever, and a great video guide to help. I had the store-installed Belkin before, but this beats it all to pieces at 2 for $15, even if I replace it every 3 months. The fitting box really does make as easy as having someone else do it. Here’s the link for protectors for the 14 Pro: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5L8N5J4?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Got a little issue that may lead me to remove and put my Spigen Alignmaster on. I'm seeing a very fine grain on white or bright screens that I thought I may get used to but don't think I will. Do you see it?

 

[Pug72]

I'll leave it a few days to see if it's the adhesive that needs a little time to cure.
It sounds a lot worse than it is and most people wouldn't notice, but if it doesn't improve I'll remove.
I'll update if it goes away or doesn't.

I’ve always had good results with Spigen, so went with Spigen again for the 14 Pro and Pro Max (wife’s phone and my phone). Install went great as usual with their alignment frame “technology”.

I used the same one. No issues and super easy install.

I’m not very happy with the standard ESR on my Pro Max. It doesn’t cover as much as it did on my 12 Pro Max. Thinking of returning it and trying the Armorite with the black border.

I couldn't wait and put the Spigen Alignmaster on and now it's crystal clear!
Was stressful as always getting the tiny dust specks out. Took multiple attempts to get dead straight (the template isn't 100% foolproof), each time adding a speck or two to remove by lifting a corner and sliding the sticky dust remover in.

Defo going EZ Fit next time, I can live without the black borders if it goes on dead straight.

Sorry LK, perfect installation method but poor adhesive that spoils the Retina display a little.

Anyone else having an issue with the screen protector peeling from the corners? I used 2 screen protectors with the same results. Thought it was my case causing it, Spigen but tech 21 has the sense result.

Any idea?

 

[Jacoblee23]

Don’t the privacy screen screen protectors filter out some of the brightness thus making the screen not as bright? That doesn’t good. Sounds like a waste of the brighter screen.

I got the Zagg privacy screen protector installed on my phone. Hate the multiple cutout design with the dynamic island.

I am not sure if that is a necessary evil with the privacy filter, but I imagine that I won't last long before I replace it with one that provides seamless protection.

I got the Belkin screen protector at the apple store, they installed it with the machine they have. It looks good and it covers the whole screen and no cutouts.

I had mine delivered this year and that is the one thing I really miss. That's likely what I'll go with (or similar) in the future.

 

[Knowimagination]

Thought about trying ESR but I liked my Spigen so much that I went with them again this year and glad I did the alignment tray install with the ezfit system is so good its basically impossible to mess it up. still debating if I will use a case but super happy with the screen until I decide.

 

[iFone88]

I got a Zagg and the cut out for the dynamic island has two separate holes and both are too low by about half a mm. Very annoying. Trying to find a support contact that isn’t just a general RMA replacement request.

Yuck.

I could not deal with having to look at those cut outs all day

Can someone with the spigen Ez fit look at the screen using polarised sunglasses and let me know how well it works? On the 13PM I found the spigen caused a lot of coloured banding with the sunglasses and I found it uncomfortable to use so i changed to the EsR Amorite which was much better. On the 14PM the ESR has some banding so I’m wondering how the spigen is this time round? If it’s good with polarised lenses then I may switch over to it. Thanks!

Be careful with those camera protectors. With some cases they cause the camera lenses to stick out of the case. Instead of the impact being on the case it hits the camera lens and damages it. I’ve seen it happen in person. I think the OtterBox defender is a thick enough case so it won’t stick out but just make sure.

I appreciate the warning on that this case wouldn't protect it if I had the lens protectors on it it'll definitely stick out over it

What adhesive issues did you have with the LK Screen protector? I just installed mine, worked out perfect!

 

[tonycooper]

Have a first world problem that's driving me mad. I am looking a a decent screen protector that is truly edge to edge! Many advertise, but prove not to be, and as a result mean fluff etc gathers between the case and the start of the protector.

I've tried Spigen, Torras, ESR, Encased and Casekoo. Can anyone help - I'm in the UK. Thanks very much.

This confirms no cutouts are necessary for the speaker.

Went on like a dream, but the clarity is bad. Grainy on bright images which was even more apparent in videos. The Spigen is crystal clear.

Also the edges of the LK aren't smooth.

Hi, can I ask whether this is truly edge to edge, or does it stop a little before the edge of the screen? Thanks!

I see what you mean! I compared it to the ESR Armorite screen protector I have on my old XS, and it's crystal clear compared to the LK one on my 14 Pro. You can see the adhesive layer. I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't mention it. Now I can't unsee it, lol.

I have an ESR Armorite arriving today, and I might just give that one a go.

When I have the phone in a case it looks edge to edge to me.

Yea and even companies like Zagg sell screen protectors with no cutouts. I went to the Zagg mall cart and they had one, and they showed it to me its this one: https://www.zagg.com/en_us/glass-xtr2-iphone-14-pro-max
