With this wallpaper, my "old" batch from Torras looks good.All corners visible.
Right because the image's curve doesn't actually go to the edge of the iPhone's screen.

So I went ahead and edited the image they game me and added a white background behind the image, and as you can see there's an area (in white). I then took the screen protector off to show that on a phone the image isn't actually going to the edge of the screen. That being said it's not much but you can clearly see that the curve radius of the iphone's display is being slightly cut off by the Torras screen protectors black borders.

I did. It could be an honest mistake, as an app designer myself there's a lot of misinformation about the radius of the corners of the iPhone, but I don't have hopes that they'll be making an update or a fix to these. When they sent a new one they just sent me one from Amazon.

Is it very noticeable in daily usage or you can live with it?

There's always non edge-to-edge ones, but you see a gap all around the phone which might be even more annoying.

I don't have the phone yet but deciding which screen protector to buy is a bit of a problem now. 😄

No not really. I am honestly pretty happy with it, I consider it to be within reason so I haven't asked for a return or anything. I just don't want them telling me the sky is red is all. The screen does get minorly cut off in the corners because the black borders on their screen protector has the incorrect radius.

It’s an acceptable manufacturing tolerance. Most likely they won’t change a thing as nothing usable goes to the corner of the screen anyways. Luck of the draw or overly nitpicking depending on how you want to see it…. Just got mine tuesday and its good.

That’s the TORRAS screen protector? Is that the wallpaper that was provided further back in the thread? Curious if there’s actually a new version they’ve begun making and it’s just luck of the draw as to which they are sending out. Did you order direct or from Amazon?

Yes it’s the TORRAS and yes I ordered from Amazon. Also yes it’s the screensaver from earlier in this thread. The TORRAS box did say made for iPhone 15 max

Interesting. Could be a difference between max and pr regular.
I ordered a 15 Pro protector on their website when they released the “new” version, they shipped me an “old” version directly from Amazon. I reached out to them about it and they said the “new” batch only has different wording on the label but the protector itself didn’t change. They shipped me a “new” one and it too came directly from Amazon. Both protectors are exactly the same just a different label.

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.
Nope. There is at least the WSKEN with black borders that does not cover any pixels.

FWIW, the Torras DS for 15PM is currently unavailable on Amazon so perhaps there is an updated version incoming.

How did you guys get torras to send you a new screen protector? Mine covers a part of the screen. I’ll probably get another one from torras if they are willing to replace it for free

reviews on amazon says they covering somehow the "speaker" / "earpice" from the top of the phone (just above the face id sensors)

which does affect the call quality a lot...

:-((

I have the WSKEN installed and it does not affect sound quality at all. I make calls and it doesn’t sound any different.

Edit: here is a pic of how the tab covers the speaker. You can see it’s sitting above the grill, not directly covering it.

Got a response from Torras but I’m not hopeful. They are kinda giving me the runaround claiming that the issue I showed has something to do with PNG vs JPG. I’ve proven that the image they are providing doesn’t actually go to the edges of the iPhone screen.

At this point I don’t really care and I’m probably just gonna stop responding cause they clearly don’t understand the issue and there’s something being lost in translation. It’s not really worth the time for a screen protector.

With the Torras, I have yet to notice my screen being cut off in day-to-day use so I refuse to open one of those PNG/JPG's because I know if I see it cut off then I will always see it cut off. As far as I am concerned, I got a perfect install :)

Nope. Not seeing any issue with sound quality either on calls or music.

There is an issue that I just discovered with certain cases, like the Caudabe cases, with the cases hitting that tab.

You should also not look at the camera viewfinder corners… 😂
