Well, thanks to you people I ended up ordering a WSKEN to try on my 15 PM (after having used Torras Diamond Shield). Here are my observations and some photos below:
- covers more surface than Torras D
- the little piece at the top that comes over the top speaker seems unnecessarily big and I’m not convinced I will like it
- oleophobic coating seems the same as Torras but time will tell if it lasts as well
- seems to be slightly thicker than the Torras
- the black border around the screen seems to not cove up any content

I’m gojng to give this a try for a little bit and then decide which one to use going forward.

I just put the WSKEN on my 15 pro and like it so much better than spigen.

GlasTR EZ FIT​


I feel like Spigen totally dropped the ball this year with theirs, and if you look at the Amazon reviews…. well they speak for themselves.

Still prefer the Spigen one to be honest! Just because it hasn’t the black borders.
Every glass protector that has black edges is a no go for me.

How does the oleophobic coating compare and do the black borders on the screen protector block part of the screen like the Torras?

To be honest. I can`t feel a difference. At least for the first 24h. For me it is ok.
I am still waiting for my Hoda Sapphire to ship. I really want that smooth sapphire feeling back.

I know this sounds silly but any scratches on the iPhone titanium frame from the Belkin machine? I remember seeing some talk last year about scratches. Thanks.
No, it doesn’t sound silly at all. I already posted this in one of the threads on the main iPhone forum, but the new machines at Apple Stores are terrible. The part that slides down to hold the phone in place from the top can scratch the metal frame. This happened to a family member who was getting a screen protector installed on a brand new deep purple iPhone 14 PM a couple months ago. You can see the small but deep scratch caused by the machine.

There are lots of reviews (some with photos) of the WKSEN showing when a case is put on the screen protector starts to bubble. I also think the awkward speaker cover can’t be helping with this problem.

That is what I said. It is really going further to the EDGE than the Torras. I personally like that and with leather cases there will be no issues. I guess Otterbox Cases will have issues as their lip going towards the screen. But I didn`t tested it.
My Torras did cut off a tiny bit of the screen on the left side. My WKSEN is perfect. IMO the Best Tempered Screen Protector until my Sapphire ones arrive.

I have the Torras diamond shield and it doesn’t seem to be cutting into the screen. I assume you just look at the “L” in the camera app

Has anyone tried a dbrand screen protector yet?
On the dbrand YouTube video comments, and the dbrand Reddit, multiple people have said the screen protectors are too small and have the rainbow effect like amFilm and others.

The tab is so weird, I wonder what its purpose is. But the WSKEN looks really good other than that.

One other reason I will be sticking with the TORRAS is because of the clarity. When I used the ESR I could see that the screen wasn't as clear when I was in the sun or bright light indoors. I won't switch to another screen protector brand until the replacement TORRAS ones are sent out. The blocking of the screen bothers me less than a gooey looking screen in the bright lights.

I just ordered a pack of TORRAS for my wife's 13 since her screen protector needs to be replaced. It looks like they updated it with the new applicator that was on the 15's, so I wonder how the installation will compare.

@Eric.oq5 looks good to me. Wonder if this is the revised version or you just happened to get the perfect alignment. Mine barely covers on the right side, not enough that I'd bother swapping it for something else. The dust around the edges is kind of annoying though.

What is the general consensus here? WSKEN or Torras? Spigen isn't doing it this year for me :rolleyes:

I purchased the screen protector off Amazon this Monday. I read other posts about people experiencing this screen protector covering part of their screen but it looked fine to me. I have a caudabe sheath case and it fits perfectly with the screen protector. There is still some dust, but not much since there is only a small gap between the screen protector and the case. Time will tell.

I bought the Spine EZ fit ready for my launch day iPhone delivery and it was perfect on the first go - no dust or bubbles and perfect aligned but eventually it did start collecting a lot of dust around the edges so when I was cleaning it one day last week some dust went under the screen and no matter what I tried to do to get it out it just made it worse so I took it off and tried the second one (2 in a pack) but that went horribly wrong, it wasn't aligned so I had to take it off and do it myself by hand and in doing so it collected dust on the screen.

I'm just done paying £15.99+ for screen protectors. I've ordered a cheap-ish from Amazon for £7.99 by amFilm and I'll make do with it. I just can't be wasting anymore money with them - all the brands Spigen, Torras etc have just inflated the prices for the sake of it and to be honest I do think some of them are for the 14 pro which are just being marketed as iPhone 15 pro.

The Zagg XTR3 Glass Elite tempered glass screen protector is so easy and difficult to mess up. Great touch sensitivity and more durable than most other ones as it's much thicker. Blue light filtration. Off-axis privacy. Absolutely no distortion. Pricey but definitely worth it.

This is the first time I am using a screen protector after scratching up my 12 pro’s screen. I initially installed a Belkin Ultraglass 2 but had bubbles around the edge that would not come out not matter what I tried.

Tried the Torras at the recommendation of this thread and it is so much better. Went on smooth and easy first time and feels great.
