Which Model are you getting?

I might have missed someone commenting on this but the ESR armorite on Amazon UK says it fits both the 13 and 14… can’t see (right now) why it wouldn’t… I still have one left over from last year LOL

I think last years model is fine for 14 and 14 Plus(?) but 14 Pros may have slimmer bezels and different sized earpiece necessitating an incredibly minor redesign

Aha! Good spot, it doesn’t say 14pro max

I ordered the Spigen AlignMaster.
Can’t wait to try them out and worst case if they are not great they didn’t cost a fortune (had ESR Armorite last time).
This is what I have. Aren't these better? These look easier to fit?

Do you not want to wait and get a protector with the right cut outs for the pill and hole?
The case manufacturers will have these out within days.

Is clocking in and out in of offices common in the US?!?
Yes, when I worked for the police department clocking in and out was not required. Best thing ever! You just show up. But with the Department of Aviation, we are required to clock in and out and they are strict about it. Can't even be late by 1 minute.

Only differences I can see are the AlignMaster has a black border and a frame to make the alignment easier. I can’t find any documentation with a good comparison.

Absolutely not. Having a cut out for the pill is exactly what I wouldn’t want! The full screen ones should be legit as long as they have their dimensions correct which I assume they get from apple in advance

Wouldn't be so sure they get them. Official partners with Apple will get them, not the likes of ESR. There was a case a few years back, I can't remember which device, but the case manufacturer had made thousands of cases based on the rumours which happened to be wrong.

Is it actually any better? (Genuine question) - I've only ever used the ESR Armorite which has full-screen coverage, while I trust Spigen as a brand, I avoided their screen protector with a cutout assuming it would collect more dust. I've not noticed any issue where the FaceID bit is covered with a screen protector.
 
Remember - nothing is official until its announced in just 2 and half hours' time!

I would personally not order any protectors (or cases for that matter) until after the event, but that's just me.
I agree with this 100%. Screen protectors and cases can wait at the moment. Just wait till the Apple event is over. No one knows exactly what Apple will unveil.

I have the ESR from last year where it was a slight cut out at the very top for the speaker.

On my work iPhone 13 we have been given an iPhone 12 protector and it looks a bit weird with the big cut out and small speaker
