Screen Protectors

Awesomesince86 said:
Has anyone else installed the icarez screen protector? It seems like the one made for the XS Max doesn’t fit properly. It’s a little too small to cover the entire screen and the top bezel covers the sensors just a tad. However, I haven’t noticed it causing any issues with faceid or the camera.

Gave up on mine. Way too many bubbles on the edges and on the top sensors. Last time I'm trying a full coverage type protector...

I used it with my XS Max and it was great. But it doesn’t seem like they’ve updated it to take into account the slight changes in the pro max.
 
Anyone else experiencing a very slippery non consistent feel?

When I zoom into photo on Instagram or Facebook it’s way off.
 
has anyone used the spigen with the tray applicator? I've never had 100% success with prev ones, thought that be helpful

Had a really good experience with the Spine Glas.tR EZfit system. Was 11 bucks on Amazon and the frame makes installation super easy.

Spigen for the win for me. Easy to install and so far feels as good as the Belkin one Apple installs in store...maybe even better.

it’s my experience that installing a edge to edge screen protector clearly impacts the auto brightness level. I tried tethys , icarez and spigen full screen proector and comparing each individually to few display models and also my wife’s phone (which has cut outs for camera and sensors) the auto brightness level is always few notches lower than rest.

I tested by going from a dark to bright environment and also turning off auto brightness and turning it back on keeping phones next to each other and consistently the auto brightness level when using edge to edge was always lower by few notches than if I use screen protector with cut out!

Also the display color was more warmer when using edge to edge. I went back to spigen ez fit with cutout and everything is back to normal and compares with those without screen protector and one with cut outs.

i would love to have the full screen as it looks better but not at the expense of display dullness for me.

I am using a pro 11 Max.
 
amFilm Glass screen protectors are my favorite, and they are only $5.99 on Amazon!

I always hated screen protectors, due to the bubbles and scratches on those old film ones; but since discovering those amFilm ones, I use them all the time now and am never reminded that I'm always looking right thought it!

In your opinion, or if you’re purchasing one, which screen protector are you getting for the iPhone 11 / Pro / Pro Max? I am looking for a good one, but I’m not sure which one to get. I seen the Belkin glass ones on Apple, wonder if they are any good? What’s your thoughts?

Bought an ESR and a klearlook from Amazon. Turns out the ESR is for the XS so no good (have an 11), and the klearlook is ok but very thick.

have a Flolab on the way so will give that a try too.
still looking for a rear protector - could potentially go careless with front+rear glass, plus AppleCare
 
Right, what’s the difference between Spigen Ez fit and Spigen alignmaster, if any at all? If there is a difference, which of the 2 is better?

actually haven't put it on yet.. took ages to arrive and only had one in the packet. So I'm leaving the klearlook on for now - feels nice and works well so far.

anyone ordered flolabs ones - Mobilereviewseh seemed keen on them.

Yep, ordered a couple FLOLAB on the 10th and nothing yet. They ship from China and take a month of Sundays to arrive.

Does the alignment tray fit easy over the phone or does it require force to get it on?
Flolab said the frames are redesigned for the new phones.

If that is true then it’s really bad.

I considering of getting a screen protector with a cut out

Ah, man I missed them somehow for the smaller pro. I managed to get the larger size for the Pro Max for my husband. For myself I'm trying ESR but would have gotten the iCarez had I seen them.

However, I have an iCarez on my daughter's Xr and she complains that it scratched up easily. That could be her fault as she is a teenager and the phone has a rough life in her backpack.

I always try to go full screen protection because I hate the lint accumulation around cutouts.

Mine doesn’t scratch at all. It looks and feels like nothing is there.

I use the Belkin tempered glass protector you can get at the Apple Store. I have them apply it so I'm not responsible. Heck, the woman who installed mine on my 11 Pro Max was unhappy with the application so she pulled it off and tried another one for no charge...

...apparently they return them to Belkin as defective.
 
I have the Belkin screen protector that Apple installs and I must say it's nice. Don't get too many smudges.
