Is anybody using the Torras screeen protector on 16 Pro Max? can confirm if those gaps are normal? not sure if the copy I received was smaller than supposed to be but found those gaps around the protector a little big and a dust trap so I'm not sure if I received a defective protector or this what to expect from Torras on Pro Max.

Normal.
All screen protectors will have a gap to allow cases to be fitted and removed without lifting the protector.
Where there is a gap, dust/lint will collect. Especially when it's put in pockets, etc.

I took an ESR off to put the Torras on and the gap was bigger on the ESR as the glass covered just the screen. The Torras is a little wider for the border.

Yes, they are all like this at the moment. But there will be a new version (that's what Torras said) in the coming weeks - hopefully.
They are definitely not as good as last year. They had no gap and no sharp edges.

Do you have the Pro Max? you see the same amount of gap on your Torras? understand that some gap is normal but just making sure this is the standard for Torras now or maybe I have a defective or smaller one

The question arises: Do the black boarder of the protector take some screen real estate? Or is it a bit outside of the bezels?

Encroaches the tiniest amount. Sub optimal but acceptable.
Thanks for your reply. Could you please make photo from the camera app, there are corners shown in the viewfinder, are these still visible, left and right?
