Anyone else having issues getting screen protectors to not bubble on the edge of the screen on the 17 Pro?

Installed a dbrand prism 2.0 with the applicator provided but around the border of the screen there are long thin bubbles that can not be pressed out.

Have tried reinstalling a few times and recleaning the screen, even using a dust sticker against the sticky side of the screen protector itself, but the bubbles remain.

Appears the 17 Pro screens curve more on the edges. Any other brands of screen protector installed with success?

I’ve been using JETech screen protectors for years now, including one on my launch day 17 Pro, and I don’t have any problems!

I would contact dbrand. It could be that you got a defective screen protector.

I bought it thru best buy, and their solution was to bring it in the store to see what's going on. closest best buy to me is quite far.
should have just bought from dbrand directly
 
I have had the same issues. First I used the $40 Torras, and there was a small bubble at the edge just where the speaker is above the notch. can't get it to press down.

Tried the ESR 3-pack i had also ordered before the Torras. WAY WORSE. the entire edge almost all the way around the whole device was bubbled and coudlnt stick down. it's like the whole protector needs to be smaller?

Then did another Torras. Better, but it's back. they are sending me new ones / letting me return.

There is def an issue for screen protectors that try to go farthest to the edges with the black borders and they can't properly stick now...

I might have no choice but to just buy applecare and go fully naked phone!!
