Hi Guys, This appears to be the final feedback I've received. Mine didn't notice any issues as well, so perhaps there's some misunderstanding regarding the 'new version.' This response might be helpful.

Yeah, I think Spigen EZ Fit or Belkin UltraGlass2 are the way to go.

I don’t care about about “full coverage” since the phone is in the case anyway, and these 2 don’t have black borders / not cutting into screen.

I’ve fitted the Spigen EZ Fit too. There’s no way to install a screen protector with black borders!!
Although the installation is great, it’s a bit smaller and my thumbs “stuck” on the edges when swiping. The problem is even bigger when using the phone without the case, which makes the whole experience very unfriendly.
Now, I’m looking to replace it with another (of course without black borders).
Belkin UltraGlass 2 is an option but it’s a bit pricey for just 1 screen protector. Also, in the post mentioned above the Reddit, I can see that Belkin has the rainbow effect on the edges.
This year is so difficult to have a proper screen protector!!

I had a lot of issues with screen protectors on the iPhone 6S when it was released. They all developed areas on each side of the screen that would lift which some said was due to the curved display. Finally gave up and went without one.. Haven't used one since but I look at new designs and would entertain using one again if it fit properly. The Apple in-store installed screen protector interests me so I might give that a try

They use Belkin UltraGlass 2 in store.

The WSKEN has been perfect--using the screenshots from earlier in the thread, I'm not noticing any screen being cut-off with the borders. I use without a phone case.

Only downside is it has a weird earpiece-speaker-tab that doesn't affect sound.

But it has the awful black borders…

Torras or Spigen for the 15 Pro Max?
I bought the 2023 iPhone Pro Max Spigen Ez Fit THREE times this year (six applications), and it was impossible for me to install their screen protectors without a dust particle, even after following the instructions to the T, and having installed them successfully on previous models. The initial batch was just terrible, with sharp jagged edges and I gave up on them.

Ordered the Torras and installed it in one shot, perfectly. And just like others have mentioned, you don’t notice the black edges, so if that’s what’s keeping you from ordering it, don’t let it, I’m completely satisfied with the results.

Bough the Spigen EZ fit for my 15P and it went on no problems, barely any bubbles (easily came out) and no dust. Can see all the screen as no border (if it is even an issue on other protectors), pleased with the application and result.

I normally buy ESR but the borders did put me off a bit so thought I’d try a different brand.

I didn’t really notice screen issues with the Torras but for those of you that did you should try the WSKEN. It’s been solid for me. Significantly better coverage than the Torras.
I broke my WSKEN and currently am using the Torras as an emergency. It annoys me a lot. The WSKEN was amazing. But out of stock. So I imported two new sets from the UK. These protectors are the best for me.

is there any screen protectors for i15pm which has ALL of the following?
-privacy !
-no black borders!
-no physical cutout for faceid and/or selfie can

i don"t think they are! :-(

i even read somewhere that there is a reason for the awful black borders. apparently is because of the rounded edges of the phone screen and they put extra "glue" on that black border otherwise it will not stick properly..

anyway.. i hope somebody will make a screen protector to fullfill all the above 3 requirements...

The black borders are to prevent the light from the screen refracting off the edges and creating an annoying glow/glare so that the protector looks seamless and less noticeable.

What are the main differences in your opinion between WSKEN and Torras?
A part from the speaker "tab".

Thank you.

Why do you keep saying this? The black borders are made to line up with the black borders that are on the iPhone screen itself so they won't be seen. A lot of people in this thread are looking for edge to edge protectors which will all have black borders.

Because 100% of the screen protectors made for iPhone 15 Pro/PM their black borders cover part of the screen.
Simple as that. There’s not even one black border protector which don’t cover at least some pixels.
And when I pay 1500€ for a device I don’t want a 30€ screen protector to cover my screen.

It may be anecdotal, but my Torras application does NOT cover any of the pixels on my 15 Pro Max, and I’ve look them under a microscope.

This obviously may not be everyone’s experience, but a flawless application does exist for the Torras screen protector.

Mine is perfect as well to my eyes. Didn’t use a microscope though to measure. I did have an issue with the ESR covering the screen though. Good luck!

Torras sent me a “new” screen protector after I reached out to them. They said they had updated it but it’s the same one as before. Even shipped from Amazon. I installed it and same issues as before where it cuts off the corners of the screen using the wallpapers in this thread. They sent me a wallpaper of their own to test it out with but my suspicion is that the curvature in the corners is incorrect.

Check out the wallpaper they sent here.

With this wallpaper, my "old" batch from Torras looks good.All corners visible.
