I ended up getting ESR. The curved glass and top notch customer serivice did me in. I know they’re bad now but I trust they’ll fix it.

The curved edges are super nice especially if you don't have a case. It sounds like the WSKEN has those also with a better fitment.

I got my Flolab 3D protector today. Unfortunately after I applied it I checked the camera and the borders are still cutting into the screen on the right side. I’ve emailed Flolab about it.
How is the Flolab 3D otherwise? I've always preferred them or the Zagg Elite due to their superior oleophobic coating to other brands. Just want to make sure everything else is good before making the jump. Missing a tiny portion of the screen is not a showstopper for me.

It’s the best screen protector I’ve used to date. If you aren’t concerned about a bit of the border covering the screen, it’s worth getting.

Sounds like ESR has made revisions!

I received a similar email today.
They said they will not be sending me a replacement because of the rounded edges.
I emailed back saying that the improvements will be fine and they can send me a replacement as they said they would.

We’ll see what they say but I don’t think they will.
I honestly had my doubts whether they would follow through.

They are now telling me the protectors will be available in December? Now I don’t know if they really know when they will be available for sale.

Flolab replied and offered me a warranty replacement for cost of shipping. I said I would like a replacement but only if they can guarantee the replacement would not have the same issue. They asked for a photo and I haven't had a chance to get one yet.

This is why I still think many brands used 14 pro protectors and marketed them as 15 pro.

Unless anyone can explain it to me, I don't understand how within a week from announcement to launch they were able to make the protectors, get them on sale (so they were delivered before launch day) without the actual product in front of them.

I would imagine they get specifications in advance like the 3rd party case makers do.

according to peak design CEO they didn't get any specifications for the iPhone beforehand so didn't know whether it would have an action button or not. I imagine peak is a better known and bigger brand than all of these amazon tempered glass screen protector brands, but yeah I do wonder what goes on behind the scenes

Im about to buy a 15p, so im searching for a screen protector.

I can't decide between torras and wsken. I understand that spigen is not working well this year, so I discard it. I plan to use it with a slim case, I haven't decided which one yet. Maybe the mujjo leather case.

Just got a Belkin at the Apple Store. They applied the first one, the top right edge wouldn’t sit flush, so they tried a second, same result. “It should settle in 24 hours” but feels like I’ll be returning it.

Same spot on both tries, makes me feel like the top right of the screen might be a trouble area.

But 14 Pro protectors had cut out on top.

Finally received my FloLab 3D, and I think this may be the best of the bunch. Took about 5-10 mins to work some bubbles, otherwise the install was foolproof.

The black borders are definitely better. IMG_0008.jpeg

It’s definitely cutting into the screen, look at the white lines. Not seeing that with the Torras and WSKEN.

Still Have an air bubble top right. Returning. Pretty astonishing they blundered so hard on this.
