is there a consensus ? iCarez vs Tethys?
I tried the Tethys, is not a real 3D ful on Edge to Edge. It does not warp around the edges on the screen. I guess you can call it a screen protector friendly full screen protector, not edge to edge.

I will try the iCarez Edge to Edge and report back.

No to Tethys! as I said before, sharp edges that do not go edge to edge makes a perfect weak spot for cracks.
and its uncomfortable as well. the icarez (make sure you get the 3D version) its words better. It just came in today and the edges are wonderfully rounded and smooth.
 
iCarez TrueGlass Pro 3D. Took some work to get the bubbles out, but its all good now. Here are some pictures!

I’ve used icarez for the past few years and I have nothing but bad things to say about the 2.5D model this year. Ive gone through 8 (yes 8) of them and they all have the same defect where the top left corner won’t stick and now the bottom corners are starting to come up.

That's some bad luck or bad batches.

I installed four of them on four different Xs and Xs Max units for family and friends. All the 2.5D version. No issues.
 
Any consensus between iCarez 3D and Arbalest 2.5D? All accounts indicate that the Arbalest is the better protector, but it's only 2.5D and they don't make a 3D option unfortunately.

Buying my wife an XS and need to order one or the other in the next day or so.

Where do you even get the Arbalest? The only link to it I can find is Amazon in Canada.

Just curious why you think the arbalest is better?

This is the exact iCarez 3D one I got and it's been working perfectly since day 1 with the Nomad rugged case. The alignment with the case is so good that I can't even see the original iPhone glass anymore and likely won't until I sell/trade in the phone.

In fact my wife's iPhone Xs came in the other day and I installed the screen protector without telling her and until I mentioned it, she hadn't noticed that there was a screen protector on it (+ the apple silicone case).
