Installed an amfilm on Pro Max. Despite using the jig it is just a fraction too low which causes the top edge of the screen to distort due to the light passing through the thickness of the protector (if they makes sense). Really annoying.

I decided to let the Apple Store install the Belkin UltraGlass 2 screen protector with their machine while I was there. The first two tries he missed. I didn't even have to ask. He refunded immediately and reached for another protector. He did mention the new machine is harder to prevent anything from getting under the protector. The third try was the charm. left a happy guy. The feel of the Belkin is excellent as well.

Does the belkin screen protector match the curved bezel of the phone or does it stop just short of it? Any chance you can share some pictures?

Just put the ESR on and it's excellent - now that you mention it comparing to my 13 regular it looks a TEENY bit smaller but just measured both and it looks identical. The black part is pretty thin so it may just equal the bezel, hard to tell with it on though. Hopefuly someone more capable of figuring it out will answer lol.

ESR says their screen protectors for IP15 have micro curved edges that adhere 100% to the contours of the curved screen edges.

Thank you. I can’t tell from the pictures. Is there a lip between the screen protector and the frame of the phone or is it edge to edge?

Torras or Spigen? I can't decide...
The Torras is more expensive but I don't mind paying extra if it's better quality.

I am going to be using a Mous case so a screen protector that fits with the Mous Clarity case.

I have ESR screen protectors as I've used them in the past. Getting a bit nervous that no one else has really mentioned them here. Anyone else using ESR?
Yes. I had one on my 14 pro and just put one on my 15 pro. I have no issues with them at all. Literally can’t tell it’s on there.

I fitted the amtech one this morning to my 15 pro. First one was too high (despite using the jig) and the second has given me bubbles around the edges. I also bought the spigen EZfit in anticipation so may have to swap it out.
Did you try the Spigen one as have had issues with AM Film ones too today!

My vote is the TORRAS, I did a test one on a different phone and compared it to the spigen. Even with applying the spigen in a clean room at work, I still managed to get micro dust particles under it, or the adhesive is just defective. The Torras was much cleaner just using it at my kitchen table. I ordered another pack for my 15 Pro with delivery tomorrow.

Did you do the regular one or the Armorite?
Does the protector curve over the edges of the screen for 100% coverage, as claimed?

Hi, was this the normal ESR one or the heavy duty one, do you have any images at all? Tried an alternative make today and will not adhere to the edges, usually use ESR but was led by a promotion!

Torras is expensive though!
£26 from Amazon in the UK.
Spigen is £18.

I have the regular tempered glass esr and not the Armorite. It does not curve over the edge. It fits almost exactly like the one I had on the 14 pro.

Does it stick around the edges all okay? Am I right in thinking it has a black border? Cheers

The Armorite has an extremely thin black border all the way around the protector. I just put one on my phone.
Thanks, was curious as to whether the standard features the same border, I am guessing the border does not infringe on the screen viewing? Many thanks
