The packaging and glass appear to be identical, but the only difference on the Amazon listing is Torras offers a year warranty on their product but UltraGlass doesn't mention any coverage.
I was going to order the Torras over the UltraGlass due to the 1 year warranty that you mentioned on their product description, but was bummed that it wouldn't arrive until 3 days from now.

After looking deeper, I found a Q&A/Review section of the UltraGlass where a customer recorded a video of the warranty QR code that comes inside the packaging of the UltraGlass, saying that they found out that as long as you scan the QR code to register your UltraGlass screen protector online, there is a lifetime warranty.

I just ordered the UltraGlass instead, and it arrives tomorrow!

actually my attachment could be misleading ... any good wallpaper that I can use to showcase it?

Earlier in this thread someone had a link to a wallpaper that has two very thin lines around the perimeter of the screen.

Borders were okay and the round edges there are minor overlap but shouldn’t be any big issue

I’ll probably just keep this until a manufacturer develops one that covers to the edge of the bezel without the black on the edge. There is a very faint rainbow hue, only noticeable in a close up photo, can’t see it otherwise

I’m surprised more people aren’t using the Benks brand. The cases they make are great, so are their protectors. With their protectors and the sheath, there’s almost no gap. Install went perfect the first time.

someone earlier said Benks' protectors have some issues

A couple things to mention regarding ESR and Ultraglass (aka Torras)

I originally had the ESR Armorite on. With a case on I could tell some of the screen was blocking the usable area so I replaced it with the Ultraglass.

Just before taking it off I noticed it wasn’t centered (it was justified to the right blocking some of the left screen).
The Ultraglass went on fairly well centered.

I think all the complaints for the ESR is because the install frame isn’t centering the glass.

Ultraglass just emailed me saying they were revising their screen protector and will send the new version when available.

Comparing both.
The glass on both are exactly the same dimensions.
The black border is almost the same size on both brands.
I think the coating on the ESR Armorite is slightly better (smoother)

Ultraglass (aka Torras):

Thanks for providing those pictures, it's actually super helpful. If you don't mind, I have an additional question - is there a difference in width/height of each screen protector? I think that might also play a factor in screen coverage.

If their dimensions are the exactly the same, then we know ESR has just a microscopic amount of thicker border area that explains the loss of coverage. But if the ESR measures less in width/height than Torras, then that amount of lost coverage increases.

I had issues with mine but maybe it depends on the model. I tried the glass armor sapphire and the borders on it blocked part of the screen. Which one did you try?

They are exactly the same size. The big issue with the ESR is the alignment frame aligns it off center making one side (left) block a good amount of screen area. The right side doesn’t block anything.

Excellent customer service from Torres. Sent me a new pack of two when I informed them of a little defect in the adhesive at the corner. Don't mind paying a little extra when you can be confident in good service like that.

The Torras screen protector is slightly taller/wider than the ESR one. I compared them side by side.

I was told it’s 2 years. But that’s still a year longer than we keep phones. I just did my husband’s. You scan and enter your purchase details. If you need to use the warrenty, you contact Belkin, they will ship you a new one, and the Apple Store will install it.
I use the phone without the screen protector.
Another family member got the Zagg which is a similar warranty- pay for shipping AND INSTALL - I don’t now what that adds. I’ll have to try each to see if I feel a difference, but experience wise, I’d give slight edge to Apple
