Never heard of these.

Is that a tab over the speaker? 🤢
Yeah not happy with that, I mean it does not affect the speaker it is still loud, but I guess 1mm gap between speaker and that tab will get dust soon(tm). Sadly don't have atm good alternatives at local stores, too many of options had issues with curved screen and bubbles at the sides when I applied other versions. Damn annoying thing. Waiting for Spigen ezFit that hopefully will popup soon.

Just installed the Torras screen protector and the top seems lower than it should be. This was the one that’s already attached to the orange frame guide. Is this normal or should it be touching the top microphone?
Mine looks like that too. Is that not how it's supposed to fit? Now I'm concerned. Do I need to contact them for a replacement?

Torras installed today and it will be great for most people. Not aligned perfectly with the kit but close enough. I had the ESR Armorite on but was constantly getting typos. Seemed like it had the screen sensitivity off or something. Torras seems back to normal. Flolab 3D is on the way and will try that out once it arrives

Please report back. Curious if the 3D will work with a case.

When is your flolab set to arrive? Curious as to how it compares to the torras.

Showing only as label printed with USPS. USPS isn’t reliable about scanning so it’s either still sitting at Flo Lab or en route to be here tomorrow

is Torras the universal choice? seems like ESR has problems, so does spigen? Flolab is $40 for one protector, seems ridiculous.

The TORRAS has black borders that seems to be cutting off a small part of the screen. I’ve sent proof to their customer service and it is under attention of the product department now.

my issue for torras is that they didn't curve the edg eof the screen which from marketing materials of ESR seem to indicate that it's more likely to be chipped. But wanted to see from actual users if the sharpness also impacts your using of the protector

They all have problems. Torras seems to have the least of them though. Still waiting for someone to try the new flolab one, but I agree, $50 is ridiculous.

Only impact for the Torras for me is slight covering of the edge. There is no sharpness of the edge of the screen protector.

$50. Might as well just get a sapphire screen protector at that price point.
$39.95...plus $8.95 shipping and $3.80 sales tax. $52.70, which is still 15% cheaper than the ill-fitting Zagg XTR3 I put on my 15 Pro Max. I think I'll give it a try.

Folks, it looks like the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max will need different screen protectors which may be complicated by the slight curve at the edge, albeit it's not as pronounced as some of the leaks made it sound. So, as you're purchasing your new screen protectors post them here so we can compare notes and find the top performers.

So far, none of the top picks from last year (Torras, Tozo, Spigen) have posted products for the new Pro iPhones.
I got Ailun this year. I always look for the best price one with 2-3 screens included.

So I have to walk back on my recommendation for the Benks. I noticed 2 days ago the protector was chipped on the edge by the volume buttons. I was a little confused because I didn’t drop or bang my phone. Then I realized that it must’ve pressed up against the clip on my knife. I figured ok, my fault. Then I took my thumb nail and pressed it on the other side of the protector and it broke almost instantly. Barely any force was used. I have since bought the Ringke protector and it seems great. Not weak like the other. There’s a small black border, but not bad. With the wallpaper in this thread, I can see almost all the surrounding lines. I kinda wish I wouldn’t have ordered a Flo Labs now. But it is what it is. I’ll try that if this one breaks.

Someone posted a photo of it in another thread. Doesn’t appear to be any better coverage wise than the torras.

Just received the Spigen Glastr Align Master. Never tried it before, always used and am currently using the EZ Fit.

Very grateful to hear about any experiences/pros/cons others have had. My current EZ Fit is not perfect but good enough I think. Don't really want to change it unless I can be convinced that the Align Master will be better....

Thanks in advance.

The dust getting stuck to the edges of the Torras is starting to drive me crazy. For anyone who emailed them, did they say they’ll be updating with a curved edge version?

I ordered a ***** (gotta love those names) case from Amazon, and it came with two screen protectors. I had planned to order the Torras, as that seems to be the favored one here in this thread, but went ahead and installed one that came with the case just to hold me over until the Torras arrived. But this cheap one is actually not bad, and I'm questioning whether I should spend the $25 for the Torras. And I don't understand why it has a black border.

Edit: not sure why the name of the case I bought is being censored.

The black border is so you don't see the rainbow shimmer on the edge of the screen protector. If they don't have the border and they are close to the edge of the screen, they'll show the gleam from reflecting the screen's light through the edges of the screen protector.

Ah, ok... yes, I do see that effect with my current cheapie screen protector, at least on one side, as I installed off-centered about half a mm.
