7 or 7 plus?
If 7, can you post a pic. Trying to compare the machine 7 version vs the boxed.
Not sure why the imagine thing isn't working out. This is the link https://imgur.com/a/4RfD7
iPhone 7 plus. The picture didn't do it justice, very minimal also very thin.
Here are some pics of the installed Sparin. It looks like it may attract dust at the edges.
Hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like a 2.5D edge and not 3D. Will chip & attract grime so easily. Thanks for pics. Removing from Amazon cart.Here are some pics of the installed Sparin. It looks like it may attract dust at the edges.
Thanks again to William and the rest of you for all the info. Just went back to an iphone 7 after trying a + for the first time for a week. I am planning to go caseless (although I grabbed a storm gray leather from apple since I had store credit) with TG protector. The rep with Cheotech William recommended was very nice to send me codes to try three of their products in exchange for honest reviews. She said they're not proceeding with their E2E b/c of bad reviews and asked me to pass along her email for those who would like to try the products and review: jane@choetech.com.
Enjoy the weekend!

I picked up my iPhone 7 on launch day and got the Apple Store to install the Belkin protector. The installation using the machine was perfect and I really like the look and feel of the protector.
But, as other folk have mentioned it's too narrow for the visible part of the phone screen. It might be only about 1mm on each side, but it's really annoying, especially as it creates a rainbow effect on each side.
I went back into the Apple Store a few days later and the lady said she had installed loads and they were all like that. She offered a refund, but I really need to sort an alternative first. It's interesting to read that folk with the iPhone 7+ don't seem to have the same issue with their version.
I e-mailed Belkin customer services but they don't have a clue which of their products Apple is installing, so haven't been too helpful.

I love full coverage protectors because it feels nice to swipe from the left or right of the screen and not have to feel the gap inbetween the bezel of a non full coverage protector. Thanks for posting this; might get this with a case to fill the 2.5D gap.
Can you take a picture? I am still trying to see the difference of a machine 7 vs a boxed 7.
Everyone has only posted the 7 plus. I am debating a drive to the Apple Store.
If you want the feeling that there's no glass on top of the factory glass, just get the Godosmith Ice Max 3D. I installed one on my wife's 6s last year and she had no idea until I took it off when she got her 7.
It is the same on the plus version, terrible. Not sure how they messed it up so bad.

Waiting for mine, they just released coming from China.
Here are some pics of the installed Sparin. It looks like it may attract dust at the edges.
In addition to appearing to not have a tapered edge, it appears to not be curved and leave a gap between the curve of the glass and the protector. Are these statements accurate?

Pics please?
Sorry. my only camera is my phone lol. I managed to get the air bubbles out by pushing them to the side over and over for about an hour. Also no sharp edges.

Several have commented. Do a search of the thread and go straight to the relevant results.
Not sure you can life glass protectors. It all only make it worse.
