It came in today and I just applied it. There is definitely a difference. The corners are rounded and you can’t feel your finger catching on the edges if you don’t have a case like you can on the original. The edge goes closer to the edge of the phone, I really doubt anyone could tell there is a screen protector on unless you were the one who applied it. It looks seamless.
Time will tell how much the edges catch dust. With a case I don’t know that it’s worth the upgrade, but if you don’t use one, this new model is definitely the better choice. If it turns out there isn’t as much dust, I would say it’s worth it even with a case. But I don’t think it will work with thick cases that cover the edges. I use the fine woven and there is no issues with fit.
It still cuts off the edges of the screen, maybe a little more on the corners? I can’t really tell, it isn’t that much worse, but it is still an issue. Let me know if anyone has any questions.
