Belkin Anti-Glare Screen Protector for £15 or the ultra glass for £30? Will the £15 one be fine for drops etc?

Went to apple store to collect my iPhone 13 pro max today and wanted to get the screen protector, however they said there’s something wrong with the screen protector install machine and suggest me to come back next week. Maybe I should give ESR a try.

I can never do it correctly. I get bubbles. That’s why I like the apple store machine. If anyone knows of one that doesn’t get bubbles that’s good lemme know. Tyvm

I got the anti glare one. I didn't realise it was matte though. Would have preferred it shiny. It's not glass, it's very thin and matte so I don't think it protects from falls. Just from scratches. I'll buy some Spigen ones on Amazon, I really want the shiny look. But this is very good in sunlight.

ESR for me. So easy to put on. Use the stickers it comes with to pull up any potential dust. I didn’t even need to do that, as I had the screen protector in hand before I got the phone. I pulled off the Apple screen cover, placed the plastic guide on phone and installed the screen protector. Easy.

Received ESR armorite, looks really high quality, it’s thin and smooth, but I don’t have iPhone to try yet, just wish it’s full coverage but case friendly

LOS ANGELES BABY!!
I always buy the ones from techarmor off Amazon for $9.95 for three of them. They last a long time they’re very easy to apply. They include this guide that goes over the phone and then you just pop the screen protector in there so that is properly lined up. I actually think the new protector for the 13 promax is much better than it was for the 12 promax. The new one fits much better close to the edges.

It is probably the screen protected I bought from Amazon but the gap between the apple leather case and the edge of the phone is a major dirt and lint magnet from my pockets. Is it just me? Can’t tell if the cases are off or my protecter is off.

Do you put on protector horizontally or vertically once you quickly put phone inside that bracket thing . I aim to do It quickly Before any dust gets stuck on screen and ruins it for me , just been in apple store London they aren’t doing the screen protector fittings

Ok already ordered the Spigens, I noticed that with the Belkin no-glare everything is blurry, I can't see the pixels, my old iPhone 8 is sharper when reading text and looking at images, dulling the image. Would really advise against it.
