iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max Screen Protector

[AbSoluTc]

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.

That's what I'm saying. Nobody looks at their phones face on. It's usually tilted up/down, left/right. If it works for you, so be it! However, saying it doesn't cut off any of the screen is incorrect, it does.

I do not like the black border screen protectors. Makes the black border on the phone bigger than it needs to be.

Nobody looks at their phones face on? What? I literally have to tilt my phone 90 degrees for it to cut off that red bar along the bottom of the screen. I’m never, ever looking at my phone from that angle, so for the vast majority of people it’ll cut off absolutely none of the screen.

Ok

Seems AmFilm has a "new" version of screen protector for the 15 Pro Max - the install method uses magnets so I'm hoping they fixed the glass size as well. Ordered it and going to give it a try. If it's still the same, I'll send it back.

I've had the Torras, ESR, and WSKEN.

ESR
- great: it has curved edges
- bad: in my experience, it absolutely affected touch sensitivity
- bad: cut into the screen the worst of the three

Torras
- good: case friendly
- bad: cuts into screen

WSKEN
- good: doesn't cut into screen
- good: case friendly
- neutral: has a weird speaker tab (doesn't affect audio quality in my experience)

I have no complaints for the WSKEN other than it dosen't have curved edges (I go caseless so it's more important to me).

Don't take my word for it: here is a video where some guy compared 20+ screen protectors and at the end recommended the WSKEN in his top 3

To update this after using the Flolab:

FLOLAB NanoArmour ONETIME PRO
Good
- doesn't cut into screen
- slightly rounded edges (not as pronounced as ESR's; still a step-up from WSKEN)
- anti-reflective is noticeable and feels like a solid upgrade over a traditional protector
Bad
- I don't know what it is, but this protector seems to attract dust all over it like static--not the edges--the whole screen; constantly dusting this thing off (Edit: after using for a few months, this doesn't seem to be an issue anymore)
- oleophobic coating is pretty lousy; my WSKEN had been on my phone for over a month and it was better than the new Flolab
- expensive


The ideal protector imo: ESRs edges, Flolabs anti-reflective, WSKEN's dimensions. Until then, I'm left dreamin'.

Thanks, that's very useful. How quick was the shipping?

I am still waiting on my Benks to arrive but thought I might get one of the Flolabs as the anti-reflective glass intrigues me.

I still don't really know if these protectors all come from the same factory - so I wonder if in a few weeks we'll see on AliExpress protectors with the "anti-reflective" glass too.

I absolutely love the FloLab anti glare on my iPad but not a fan for on my phone. For that I get the clear FloLab.

 

[Simon89]

Does anyone recommend the privacy style screen protectors? Most look to be tinted even if looked from square on?

I bought from Amazon so I got it next-day.

Dude if Aliexpress anti-reflective protectors were a thing 🤩

I’m sure it must exist. Does anyone really think Flolab are making these or just having them re-branded? Their installation tray with the dust removal device looks just like the ones you can buy off AliExpress. I don’t know if they are, just looks similar that’s all.

I think there are differences in screen protector manufacturing. In previous years I used the ESR's and I ended up always taking them off because it had a haze when viewed in bright lights. I don't notice the same at all with the Torras.

 

[AbSoluTc]

Tried Torras, covers a small section of the screen. Tried Flolab, was better than Torras but same issue. If you do not align these perfectly, they will always cover a small portion of the screen. I don’t like that. Last one was amFilm which I used on my 14 pro max. I ditched it because the first time I tried it on the 15 pro max it was too small and had major rainbowing on the edges. It appears they have fixed it and made it big enough to now prevent that issue.

Again, it’s really about perfect alignment. amFilm is 99% perfect. It has minute rainbowing in one area at a certain angle which I will take vs a black border that cuts off my screen.

I will say the Flolab felt better on the fingers and had a much nicer edge.

amFilm is also $9 w/3 protectors vs $45/50 for 1 Flolab or 2 Torras.

In the end, get what works for you

For those of you that use the WSKEN protector, do you find that it covers the top speakers therefore it makes your speakers quieter when playing music?
I currently use the WSKEN with the sheath and I find this to be the case...

 

[A1ch3myst]

I just got the Torras 3D. It seems to be covering more of the screen than the regular Torras screen it replaced. But it is a tiny bit more full coverage than the regular Torras but not as full coverage as the WSKEN.

Not at all. It doesn’t cover the speaker. If you look at it from the side, it sits above the speaker without covering over it directly. Same loudness vs my Flolab.

yeah it does not affect the sound unless you use a case which is covering the speaker and redirecting the accoutics like most spigen cases or the caudabe cases. These cases have a speaker cutout which is filled up with the notch of the Screen Protector. It does affect the loudness a bit. You can test it with lifting up the speacer cutout of the case while playing music.

Ah yeah I don’t have a case so that may be the difference.

I had one of these from release day, I think it must be the older version. No bubbles and lots of rainbow and the oleophobic coating eenbtually wore away but I was happy overall.

Looks like they don't sell the "magnetic" version in the UK yet.

Yeah, the magnetic one is new and fairly nice honestly for application. Less waste. They did update the glass a little bit. Its the one I'm using now.

any pics? How are the edges?

Edges are much better than previous versions. Not as sharp but not like 3D either. I'll see if I can take some pics later

I took my case off today to roll without one for a bit and put my phone screen-down on my desk and it slid right off. I didn't notice it was moving at all. Not sure if it would have without the screen protector or not, but I thought it might be due to the smooth coating or oleophobic coating on the glass. I was leaning on the desk a bit so I'm sure it wasn't level, but it doesn't slide when it's screen up. Pretty weird!

Yea i noticed my phone slowly sliding when face down on a smooth surface with the torras protector and no case

 

[Damo88]

Anyone else with the Flolab noticing that they have to wipe the screen of fingerprints more often than any other screen protector they’ve used? MobileReviewsEh on YouTube has it as their no.1 screen protector and says it has one of the best oleophobic coatings. Love the fit and feel of it, so it’s the only real negative I can think of.
