What case is everyone getting for their iPhone 7/7+?

Got this today and as always messed it up despite trying my hardest. I really like the protector and it feels great. Managed to fit it 99% accurate but has these bubbles. Says on the lack to give it 48 hours to settle but can't see these going away. Can't see them when phone activated. Anyway, this is the product.

I wouldn't be surprised if those came out.

Have you tried pressing those bubbles out with your fingernails? Or using the pen cap method?

...that looks like a dodgy install to me, which has caused them bubbles - perhaps your screen was not cleaned beforehand, hence the air bubbles.

I've also found the best method to install any screen protector (glass and non-glass) is by using the "hinge method", as described here:

You can't use the hing method on that screen protector because it comes on a white piece of plastic that is bigger that the actual screen protector.

Well, they said give it 48 hours for the bubbles to go but these ain't moving. Would you try and lift up the screen and try and remove them?

After seeing your post I thought I would buy it as it was only £5.95 and below is how it went on for me this morning. I have never used a screen protector on an iPhone before but found it easy to apply.

Notice where mine hasn't adhered properly towards the top right side like yours, could this be a flaw in all of them? Just to check I bought another this afternoon to check, if both are the same they will go back.

Also do you notice that with the screen protector on the screen is much smoother?

Yeah, it's much smoother. I love it but not sure I can live with the bubbles.

I might give this one a go. Cheap, great reviews and a tool to help you install. I don't generally use screen protectors and have never had a scratch on any of my iPhone's but for some reason like the idea at the moment.

All the bubbles are gone out of mine now so you might want to give it another try but with a bit more care on the installation.

Can confirm this one is superb, not edge to edge but the installation tool is really good, and it's lasted well so far. Adhered perfectly too, no bubbles!

Install was pretty easy. All good apart from this around the edge. Do you think this will disappear?
