Zagg's XTR2 looks nice, but pricey.


They use some new adhesive that hides dust.

Makes Dust Virtually Invisible​


Our revolutionary new adhesive installs smoothly over most dust, so even if a few particles get on your screen during installation, they should be virtually invisible.
 
Do any of you use one that has a blue light filter? I only see a few that have it and wondered if it was worth it.
 
Have you seen the ESR for the 14 Pro Max?

I'm not in the US and it's not listed there yet:

Standard Version 3 Pack: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B6V9D89F
Armorite Version 2 Pack: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7D5QD1Z

By the way, here is the Test from 2020.

Lower score is better. But I would not count the Install. ESR has 10 because there is an alingment frame like others have, Flolab for example that gets a 1.

Shellrus is worthless in my eyes, Impact is horrible and the price is ridiculous. Belkin is crap to for that price.

Every glass protects against scratches but impact is relevant. You can change it if you scratch or crack it but if you drop it and the impact shatters the screen below its worthless.

Overall ESR is a clear winner for me because you get 3 for like 12 bucks (or the stronger Armorite version 2 for 15). Flolab (is 25-30 bucks for 1)

It's not. Your iPhone has a built-in Night Shift, which does the exact same thing

Not to mention the harm of Blue light is mostly a myth, it won't improve your life.

$60?! This is pure scam. I doubt they invented any kind of adhesive that hides dust, there's no such thing. You can get the same stuff in a pack of few for a few dollars. And removing the dust is as easy as just using tape right before you install the protector.
 
Does anyone know if the full coverage screen protectors would need a dent at the top for the speaker for the 14 Pro Max? like this one?

[3 Pack] ZUSLAB Screen Protector for iPhone 14 Pro Max Tempered Glass Film Case Friendly 9H Hardness with Installation Alignment Frame for Apple – Clear https://amzn.asia/d/3WuAzt2

I noticed that the belkin ultraglass that apple sells doesn’t have a dent at the top and is completely flat. Can’t link it now because the store is down.
 
What’s the actual difference between Spigen EZ Fit and the Align Master
Was going to ask the same - It's hard to tell, there is a price difference for sure and the "Align Master" mentions full coverage but then the EZ Fit - The pics also look like it would cover the whole screen anyway.

Anyone know what the actual differences are between the two?

The difference is the application method. Depends on what you prefer, personally I find the EZ fit to be easier to install perfectly.
 
Also the Align Master has a black border which I much prefer as it hides any edge marks you can get sometimes without.
You know, sometimes it doesn't quite stick in tiny areas so you can see the air gap. Fixable with a little vegetable oil and a cotton bud though.

With black border you won't see them.

We won't know until someone tries it. I just paid ~$1700 for this phone (after tax and AppleCare+ with loss protection). $60 is not much after that and with the lifetime warranty, after I put a little dust on the screen then try applying it I can get a new one if their claim about the adhesive is utter BS.

Flolab with send you a new screen protector if you damage it for the life of the device.
 
Does anyone know a good one that is truly edge-to-edge? A lot of the ones I've tried don't cover the full screen.
 
Personally I’ve gone for the ESR Armorite which is what I currently have on my 13 Pro Max. The Spigen ones are a good alternative.
 
did anyone ever used these?
