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.
Completely agree. The coating is not good.

My coating was completely gone within a month. That was a waste of money. ESR has a great coating but had alignment issues early on. I have a new one coming soon so I’ll give feedback here when I get it.

I don’t get how such an expensive screen protector has such poor oleophobic coating. Surely that’s the easiest thing to get right?

I feel like none of them have an oleophobic coating that really lasts.

I recall people saying Belkin had a good coating? But I thought Flolab did too, I will order one to test but I am in the UK.

My TORRAS protector has been on a week or two and the coating is also starting to wear off.

I just got my replacement Ultraglass (new version). I know their coatings are really nice but I think they are a rebranded Torras.

I applied WSKEN screen protector for 15 Pro Max. It does not cut off the screen, does not retain fingerprints and is very successful but since it covers the earpiece and lowered the volume a bit.

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.
Which flolab are you using on the iPhone? They all say anti glare unless your referring to the clear versus matte versions.

both of my 3D Torras protectors cracked without dropping my phone. First one cracked two days ago, no idea how ir happened. Second one cracked today as well with no impact.. both times my phone was in a bullstrap leather case and they both cracked starting from the top all the way down to the middle of the phone creating a C shape

Is there a gap between the protector and the case? I wonder if there is pressure being put on the protector from the case since you said they both cracked the same way.

Yea there is a pretty good gap. The crack was essentially mirrored this time. Started on the right side instead of the left. Definitely want to keep using these since they are 3D and i go caseless a lot.. other protectors i tried are way too sharp when you have no case on!

I get the Pro Nano Armour for my phone.
Just ordered the “3d infinity” the newest version, it’s coming today, on my 3rd spigen screen protector, fits perfect, clarity it good, but they keep cracking on me. So going a different route now.

They have several “3D infinity” models now. Trying to figure out whether to get the pro or max version

Long time lurker, first post! After reading through the threads, and based off @GeneticBloom's recommendation, ordered Torras' 3D version! (It was between that one and their Diamonshield 2.5D one since the 3D one only has 7 reviews on Amazon).

I have Apple's Silicone's case. Since the 3D screen protector is edge-to-edge, do you guys know if I would have any issues with this combo? Wasn't able to find any info.

By the way, have historically purchased AmFilm's screen protectors for my products and have been quite satisfied. Given reviews praising Aliun's glass screen protector, decided to switch this time around. What a disappointing experience! First installation was unsuccessful despite following instructions (huge air bubble in the mid-section). Had issues with alignment as well (granted, user error given I am used to tray installs). Bottom edge feels sharp every time I use gestures. Returned and purchased Torras' instead. Fingers crossed!

There won't be a problem with the Apple silicone case. The Apple cases leave the edges more open than some of the heavier duty cases, so it won't cause you any problems. I have the FineWoven and there's a couple mm's of gap between the Torras 3D and the edges of the case.

So, after being disappointed with the oleophobic coating on the Flolab and having to wipe the screen down multiple times a day, I’ve noticed a couple of small scratches on the screen protector already. I’m ultra careful with my phone as well, never sit it face down and it’s always in a pocket on its own. Haven’t dropped it once either, so I have absolutely no idea how the screen protector has managed to get scratched already.

As good as the fit is, these things definitely let it down. Especially when you consider the price compared to the competition.

How is the Belkin protector sold at Apple stores? I’m planning on getting it for my daughter’s 15 because I hear they have a special machine that applies the protector flawlessly. Is that true?
