I think 99% of tempered glass screen protectors are similar enough that it doesn't matter which one you get. The biggest difference seems to be that some cover the rounded edges of the screen while others do not. The ones that cover the rounder edges of the screen may not be compatible with all cases. One thing i do always look for is that the screen protector comes with an installation frame. My first experience with the frame was last year on my X and the installation was perfectly placed. Won't buy a screen protector that does not include this ever again!
Got a tip for us?

So I ordered a screen protector and it was delivered today but it's not in my mailbox. Wtf. We will see if it comes tomorrow....
I ordered on the 14th. Mine hadnt even hit the mail as of my posting my original reply.
iPhone XS Max finally in my hand! YESSS baby!!! And looks fantastic with this on!
Though the other half is now mocking me saying it cost more than my car!

I got my Belkin Invisiglass screen protector put on at the Apple store today. No dust and no bubbles from a newly opened phone box. 
I bought the icarez 3d full coverage screen protector. Safe to say I'm not too impressed. There's a bunch of spots where it looks like the glue won't properly adhere. I'll give it a day or so and try the second one. If that doesn't work I'll have to contact them or Amazon and seek out a refund.
Sorry for the not so good picture. But I wanted to capture all the bubbles and it's the best I could do lol.

I ordered that too. Was the application easy? Sometimes the bubbles go away over time.
How’s the actual fullscreen coverage? Does it blend in with the front?
The install trey makes it very very easy.
The coverage is about as perfect as you're gonna find. It blends in very well and you can't even tell it's on there
I haven't tried out any of my cases yet. But just going from X reviews, the full coverage isn't friendly with a lot of cases
I went with the ESR glass protectors and to my surprise it went on so smoothly. I usually buy two so I know I can botch the first one. The ESR ones don’t have a cut out and immediately adhered to the screen with just one push to the centre. Easy to position and case friendly.
I also have the icarez full coverage coming as I liked it with my X but might just have to out them away for now.

I highly recommend this one. I have used countless glass screen protectors and this is a quality product at a fantastic price.

I bought this too and had the same bubbles, but I kept at it and all the bubbles disappeared. I would post a pic but I don't have extra camera to take pic.
I’m still waiting for a good full screen privacy protector. Just installed this one, good privacy but the bottom edge is sharp. Feel it every time I swipe up and rest the bottom of the phone on my pinky. I don’t recommend it:

Full screen ones are crap. Becuase of the curved screen of the iphone to cover the edges you need to use TPU which will break easily. I like the one in the pics above by geekishly geek it looks good and have just ordered it

Thankfully all of the bubbles eventually went away on their own as I used the phone last night. Just have to work up the courage to try on my cases now lol. Since the full coverage won't work with a lot of cases
Had the same last night. I’d rather pay to have them do it perfectly and not have to worry.I got my Belkin Invisiglass screen protector put on at the Apple store today. No dust and no bubbles from a newly opened phone box.
As in the bottom edge being sharp? I didn't until you mentioned it. Guess I don't swipe up from the very bottom.
The only thing I've really noticed is that I feel mine hangs over a tiny bit more on the left side. Probably me installing incorrectly. Don't know how that's possible with the tray. But at least it doesn't bother me too much
Will do! Just waiting for the Ringke Fusion to arrive today. I've got five cases to try out. Hopefully I can find at least one winner that'll work the screen protector
