I have been using the Torras Diamond Shield since launch. Very happy with it, I bought 3 for me and others, noone complaints.


I've just seen this new Torras 3D, I may try it if this Diamond Shield cracks :)))

Same here. Mine is still perfect 👍
Do neither of you have slight air bubbles at the edge of the screen protector? Tried applying 4 different Torras screen protectors and all ended up having air bubbles somewhere along the edge, usually on the left side.

Nope, no air bubbles.

Mine's perfect as well. Survived a couple of falls without a single scratch, and one was a big one caused by my anxious dog trying to flee the vet while I was attending a phone call.

I’ve applied 4 of the Torras, 2 old and 2 of the new 3D ones, no bubbles for me either.

Then God knows what was wrong with the ones I tried. 4 WSKEN screen protectors ended up doing the same, it was actually worse.

Maybe there is something in this “glass tolerance” that was discussed earlier in this thread regarding halo effects at the edge of screen protectors.

I don't get what you're trying to say.
Are you saying that the halo effect on the edge of the screen protector causes it to look like bubbles are forming on the screen?
By the way,I want to know if your use of TORRAS screen protector will affect the screen reflectivity of your phone?
This is what I’m talking about:

No bubbles on the TORRAS UK version here. After install I did have one but I just lifted the protector on a corner and set it back down which adhered it properly.

The dust removal feature of the install tray is so cool, not sure why the big brands are not copying this.

Just installed the Flolab OneTime Pro NanoArmour 3D (what a mouthful) and it’s by far the best I’ve tried, not even close. It cuts off none of the screen, zero air bubbles around the edges and it’s as close to edge to edge as I think you’re going to get. It’s a bit on the pricey side but I now see why.

Here are a couple of photos to show it’s cutting off none of the screen:

How rounded do the edges feel? I'm running my phone case-less and as great as the WSKEN is, the edges suck when swiping from the sides.

Had WSKEN and Torras before and it’s much, much better than those when swiping without a case. I can barely feel the edges of the protector at all. Torras was better than WSKEN for rounded edges but Flolab is definitely on another level.

The FloLab edges are great if you are running case-less. It's one of the reasons I use the Phone Rebel Gen 5 Flex more often. Had the Torras, night and day difference in feel. I will say, the Torras had a better oleophobic coating, but the Flolab is suppose to be more anti-reflective.

There seem to be mixed feelings about Flolab in this thread: people saying it’s the best and also people talking about major cons (cuts off screen, scratches easy, etc) which is a hard $40 pill to swallow. I really want to try one though but would feel so cheated for the price if it didn’t work out. Not sure what to do 😂

From my experience, the Torras I had did cut off the screen if i looked at it from an angle, but it was so minor, i didn't really care. My Flolab doesn't cut off the screen from any angle. I only went for it because of how crappy the Torras felt when case-less or using the PR Flex. The 3D edges make a huge difference. Torras now makes a 3D edge protector, so that might be something to try out.

The Torras 3D sounds like it still cuts off some of the screen, however small.

I won’t be using Flolab again. I had two protectors, both cut off the screen, and the second one started to peel off of its own accord after a few weeks. Total waste of money.

I have tried almost every screen protector out there! None of them come close to Flolab! Screen clarity, ease of installation, no rainbow effect, excellent oleo phobic, the best screen edges cut, and fabulous after sales support! If you have the protector broken or whatever reason they replace it free of charge (you only pay shipping fees).
I paid 1200€ for my 15 Pro 128, the 30€ that Flolab cost me is less than 2% of it’s value to have an excellent experience for that part we are staring so many hours!!

Is this the WSKEN that everyone recommends?
Yep!

One advice from me: be sure to put the iPhone in the applicator to the most left and upper corner. That way, you will be sure the screen protector aligns perfectly with your iPhone.

Also, use the dust stickers and then put down the peel sticker and screen protector immediately, so it won’t catch dust.

I ended up getting a Flolab. Install was perfect, I have no screen cutoff.

The anti-glare seems great. The edges aren't as rounded as the ESR, sadly. It's a step up from the WSKEN but ESR and probably the Torras 3D have better rounded edges.

Damn, the 3D Torras must have insane rounded edges. I think I’d prefer the zero screen cutoff over the slightly better rounded edges if I had to choose anyway.

The rounded edges on the new torras are perfect. Cant even feel a screen protector on the phone when i’m using my open bottom bullstrap case or no case!

Literally cutting off your screen. Noticeable in the lower left corner, top right corner and side.

I have the Torra screen protector. It's nice but I will be getting rid of it. It covers a small portion of my screen and I don't like it. It also scratches super easy. Belkin is what I had until it randomly cracked. Before that on my 14, I use AmFilm or whatever, loved it. However the 15 Pro Max version (sure it's just a renamed 14) causes rainbowing on the edges since it's not large enough.

Pretty sure there is no perfect screen protector

How is the coverage for the Apple Store screen protectors? The Belkin Ultra Glass/Otterbox Amplify? I heard some cases raises them.
Belkin Ultra Glass/2 is fine. It's not edge to edge so a case will be fine. It's also just big enough to have no rainbowing. Right now, this is the best screen protector that doesn't cover any screen (pixels) and doesn't have rainbowing. It's edges are rough if you go caseless.

It’s literally not when looking at it face on. If you’re looking for a screen protector with a black border that cuts off zero of the screen from every angle then good luck, as you won’t find one.
