@WhoDatWayne asked for a review of the ESR Armorite screen protector. First time using this, but heard good things about ESR and I liked that only the top speaker is exposed. Didn’t pay attention that this is near edge-to-edge wit’s just a sliver of room so it won’t lift if you wear a case.

Easy, easy, easy install. Got it on the first try. It formed to the iPhone’s screen as if it was the final layer that wasn’t added during manufacturing. Barely Needed to smooth it out on my own. No bubbles at all.

Since I have used Spigen Glas.tr for the past 2 years, I can tell a slight difference in feel of the glass. The Spigen on my 12PM feels slicker by a hair, but it is also the same screen protector that has been installed since launch day. The more I touch the ESR, the more the difference diminishes.

So far, I’m impressed. The true test will be longevity over time, but since this ESR protector is rated at 110lbs, I expect it should hold up well.

Added a pic showing the Apple leather case since I know that‘s what many will use.

Hope this helps!

Thanks so much for the awesome update! I have been pleased with ESR and have one here waiting to install once my phone arrives!
 
Well everyone. It has been a pleasure. Delivered at 10:30AM this morning. 256GB iPhone 13 Pro Sierra Blue. It has been a real experience using an old iPhone 5c since my XS took a dive last month. The first thing I noticed was the 120Hz display. Time to set it up. I'll see you all in 2-3 years to track some more flights!

Y’all I can’t focus at work, I want my phone and I feel like absolute crap since I’ve only gotten about 15 hours of sleep total this week 😩
I know exactly what you mean! I knew this was going to happen so I told my team that I was working from home today! Well, if you call waiting by the door with my pup working.......
 
I have two UPS packages today, one iPhone from apple, one accessory from best buy.
iPhone out for delivery at 7:32 am, accessories out for delivery at 6:18am.
Does this guarantee they are on different trucks? Or is it just the way tracking works and they’ll actually be on same truck?
 
Yeah I was very dismayed to see that, people should not do that.
I wish I could have showed you guys my UPS guy. Too bad Wolfsette isn’t here. He was adorable! It could have been another iPhone love connection 😂

Usually I hear the trucks roaming the neighborhood all morning until stopping here. This morning I heard the engine, looked out the window and he was at my house FIRST! iPhone Christmas magic!
 
For people having trouble with the map. I got it working on the Chrome browser on my phone. I could not get it to load on my computer or in the UPS app itself on my phone.

You’re welcome!

I may be a convert. I’m sending back the Spigen screen protectors that were my fallback. I like the coverage with these better and the black trim takes away the edge distraction that I occasionally experienced with the Spigen.
