So what's the best screen protector for the 15 Pro Max?
I do think the Torras is overpriced.
Got a tip for us?

I do think the Torras is overpriced.
The gap looks huge on the amfilm, I’d rather have part of the screen covered. The Torras does cover a small portion of the screen, but no one else in this thread got bubbles like that. You either had issues with installation or got a dud.
You didn’t have luck with the squeegee tool they provided? Those bubbles look like they’d easily squeegee out with a little elbow grease
That the TORRAS’ black borders are covering a part of the screen, is true. It was brought under attention of the product team.
But these bubbles could easily have been removed using the squeegee. I have seen much bigger bubbles with Spigen for example, and they came out.
As soon as you see very small bubbles that won’t come out, it mostly is dust. I removed the Torras for the screen cutting and went with WSKEN. It covering the speaker is no dealbreaker for me. And even with the WSKEN I had a small bubble, but that easily came out by just rubbing it with the cloth that came with it.

I tried WSKEN privacy protectors today and i had them on for only 5 minutes. The edges are not curved and gather dust under them. Yes they cover more screen than any other screen protectors available but dust is a big issue for me.
Ended up installing Torras again.

I tried AmFilm and JETech so far. The gap around the AmFilm was too wide, so I tried JETech. For the price (around $9 for 3), it’s great. The gap is smaller than the AmFilm screen protectors and it went on very easily for me.
The only downside are the non-curved edges. So these collect a bit of dust.

I would buy and try WSKEN, but damn, that tab over the earpiece / speaker is hideous 😱
In your photo looks like it’s covering the speaker completely.
Thinking to get Spigen and get over these screen protectors that eat into the screen and create this parallax effect.
I also have the JETech here waiting to be installed on the 15 Pro Max which will arrive next week.
Do you use it with a case? If yes, do you have problems?
A lot of people write on Amazon, that a case will lift the screen protecter because it is nearly edge to edge.
I am worried that it will not fit with the Caudabe Sheath 🙈
What about the oleophobic coating?
Thanks a lot
I use it with a Nomad leather case, but my iPhone is the normal 15 (non-Pro). So I can’t comment on the Pro Max. For me it doesn’t cause any issues with the case.
The coating seems fine, but I wonder how long it lasts…
That look like it's installed a bit too low, the gap to the top is bigger than it should be. Also those bubbles look like fingers have touched the adhesive as they look like fingerprints. Looks to be faulty, Torras would have replaced that next day no problem.
I was also skeptical at first, but you don’t notice the tab during use.
Me I would choose always the WSKEN over the Torras. It is wider and it works perfectly with my Case. It can be that if the Case Lip is heavily rounded towards the screen that it will get lifted. That is an issue with all Full-Edge Screen Protectors.
Here a picture of the WSKEN with my Ottebox Lumen on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. There is no Gap between WSKEN and Case. I love the Combination.

Between Torras, ESR Amorite, and Flolab 3D… I chose the Flolab though it is much more expensive with on protector costing $40. You can find 20% off coupons but they do charge for shipping. Replacements are $8 shipping costs.
Edges feel better on the Flolab 3D
Screen is as slick as the ESR and better than Torras.
More oleophobic than both
Not perfect but the black border covers less of the visible screen
Easiest install of all 3
Haven’t tried WSKEN this year but preferred ESR Armorite in previous years

My Hoda Sapphire Screen Pèrotector just shipped and should arrive bere on Wednesday. I can`t wait.
Compared to Shellrus they still have the better alignment "machine":
I hope it is as good as it was with the 14PM. The delayed the shipping for almost 1 Month because the first batch they produces did not include the curved screen edges. They didn`t know this was coming like any other brand too (except Belkin).

Did you order it directly from their site? Their screen Protectors are pretty expensive.
Yes I ordered it from their Site with a preorder bonus. Sapphire Screen Protectors are expensive. Shellrus is even more expensive.
Oh ok have you used them before or is this the first time? Did you receive a discount code or are you talking about the pre Order sale price on the site from the regular price?
I used it before on my 14PM after I was disappointed from the Shellrus Version for the 14PM.
I installed it maybe 1 month after release and looked flawless until I upgraded to the 15PM. I know it is expensive but I like the cool Touch and that it does not get micro scratches. For me it is worth the money.
I had the preorder Discount from the Website. You can still preorder for the next shipment in November for 50$
I paid 42$ for mine.

Hoda disappointed me this year. I ordered their lense protectors for the max and the lenses are too short. They use a universal one for the pro and pro max and there’s a gap between the bottom of their lens’s protectors and the phones camera hump. IMOs arrives Wednesday finally. So excited!
Please let us know how it goes. The curved edges are a must with the black border protectors. ESR is the only brand I’m aware of with those edges.
I never really liked the lens protectors. I tried then once last year and removed them after a week or so. They even look stupid imo.
My Screen Protector will arrive tomorrow and I really hope it will be good.
I would probably go with Spigen simply because they don’t have the black borders.
Torras feels nice for me, but those tiny mm that’s covering the screen is driving me nuts and I feel like I’m looking at my phone through a window frame.
