Supposedly they’ve been telling people there’s an updated version. It’s not unheard of because I’ve seen companies make adjustments throughout the year before.

Yea they told me that too and have sent me 3 packages of the exact same screen protector as the original batch. Been talking to Stella from Torras since the iPhone 15 launch and they swear it’s a revised product. I posted side by side pictures comparing them a couple of weeks ago.

Went with the Mothca Anti-Glare/Anti-Fingerprint screen protectors again.

It's annoying they don't come with an align tool, but if you have one laying around these are a no brainer. They fit so smoothly and at times can't even tell a screen protector is on.

I kept seeing ads on TikTok for Magic John screen protectors so I caved and ordered. They come from China of course, but I’ll update when I get them. Maybe I’ll take a video of the application. If not I’ll at least update with some photos and a review of it.

Just got another TORRAS, installed fine, was able to get most of the dust out. Just noticed there’s a divot in the glass edge. Anyone else have this or should I try again 😕 IMG_0612.jpeg

I think they all scratch and crack. Whether they are a $3 one or a $15 torras. Time will tell. I have a few to try

I got the Magic John screen protector today. I didn’t video the installation but I took some photos after. Installation was simple and flawless. It was actually just like the TikTok videos. It does have black borders. I didn’t realize that when I first ordered it or until after I installed it. But I don’t even notice now. It feels better than my Spigen screen protector, let’s just hope the oleophobic coating will last. I’m just glad to have that harsh edge, and dust collecting Spigen protector off!

The 2 pack on Amazon actually came with one.

They are truly fantastic screen protectors. Feel great and don’t leave behind oily fingerprints all over the display.

lol, my experience with Torras and Stella been disappointing to say the least 😖

Was promised “slightly improved version” via email. Ok…

Got a package sent all the way from Amazon.de.
When I received it, not only it was the original version that cuts into the screen, but the package was already opened, 1 protector missing and all the used alcohol wipes and packaging tossed inside…

I understand this might be Amazon mistake reselling a return, but c’mon…

Same experience I had ordering some more WSKEN for my wife from Amazon. All the install materials were used and only one protector was left. 🙃

Happy with the shellrus sapphire again this year,
Does not cover the border, (i’ve compared it with my esr armorite which cover quite a bit of the border)
Installation could be easier though, best application for me is the spigen EZ fit.

But NOTHING compares to a sapphire protector
Once you tried it you won’t use “normal” glass anymore.

This thing is soo smooth and very very resistant to scratches, (my esr armorite have hairline scratches after 1 week of normal use)

The shellrus is compatible with my spigen C1 and spigen enzo aramid case with virtually no gap .

Thinkin to get the rebel gen 5 frosted, hopefully it will be compatible too

It fits the gen 5 frosted perfectly.

Has anyone tried the Hoda sapphire this year? Do they cut off the screen? I’d prefer not to pay $85 for the Shellrus if I can help it.

I have the Hoda and I am very happy with it as Shellrus still asks for to much and then 50$ Shipping and also 40$ import taxes.

The Hoda does not cut off the screen but has that little notch on top like many other screen protectors. But it doesn`t bother me. I am using it for almost 2 months without any issues. Still very happy with it.

I'm having a screen protector problem for my 15 pro max. I tried 7-8 times with no results. It doesn't stick to the edges. Apple says let's change the device, but I'm afraid to change it. If a more problematic device arrives, the process will take longer. Is this situation normal? I have 2 15 pro max and I did not experience this problem with the other one. What do you think, could there be a problem with the phone?

Darn it, I forgot Hoda charges $30 for shipping. It ends up only being $10 less than the Shellrus at that point. I can’t justify those prices for either protector.

I got the Belkin Ultraglass 2 from the Apple Store with free install. It was pricey at $40, but it was worth it. The install by the Apple employee was flawless. Pretty happy with it and I’m done looking lol
