Today I tried the Sapphireman sapphire screen protector for my 15 Pro Max, I did all the steps correctly as shown in the video on their Amazon page but ended up with so many giant bubbles and bubbling on the edges that would not come out. Tried to clear them and re-apply the screen a few more times but it didn't fix it, getting a free replacement and returning this one since I can't use it anymore after several tries with it. Hoping the 2nd one will go smoother, is there something I could try different to avoid getting bubbles/removing them? I tried pushing the bubbles away with a card from invisible shield, applying pressure, I'm just afraid I'll break my phone if I use too much force lol.
The installation kit is the simple plastic frame you place on the phone to help with alignment, I looked up their kits for the 14PM and that looks so much better, sucks they didn't go for that this year. I hope it works this time, its easier being able to buy it through amazon.
I looked into Shellrus, they seem to be using the same method as Sapphireman this year. Both also don't have a tiny logo in the corners like some other Sapphire brands do which is nice, been looking into other Sapphire screens in case this doesn't work out to try. Also Shellrus return policy doesn't sound very appealing considering they only give you a discount for buying a replacement rather than a normal refund.
Also apparently Alibaba is selling Sapphiremans latest screen protectors starting around $45? IS that place legit? Its half the price of Amazon and their official site
Update: Free replacement Sapphireman came in and it installed perfectly, what little bubbles came in on the sides I easily pushed off with a card or faded away. Flawless experience this time. Looks and feels amazing on the 15 Pro Max w/Atlantic Blue Mous Case. I have no idea what went differently this time but I'm happy lol.
