One thing I don’t like about the Belkin screen protectors is that they have a notch on the top. I prefer the notchless screen protectors.

I’ve never given that any thought, so it obviously was never a negative for me.
 
Any recommendations for an affordable (<$20) edge to edge SP for 12Pro (not max)? Not really a fan of the kind with the notch cutout.
 
I am ordering these.

The iPhone 11 Pro scratched way too easily. I will be getting a film screen protector on my iPhone 12 Pro. I don’t like having a thick piece of glass.

The iPhone 12 Pro has the same type of process for scratch resistance as the iPhone 11 Pro, so I bet it’s going to scratch like butteeer
 
I always always always get a screen protector. I don’t care how strong or scratch resistant they advertise the screen. I just know that something will rub it the wrong way and it will get scratched or it will drop just the wrong way and crack. Rather be safe than sorry.
 
I use screen protectors mainly for scratch protection and ordered some from Torras on Amazon for my 12P.

Have never used a screen protector on any of my devices, never will. That's what AC+ is for, and naked is always nicer :)

This (iPhone 12 Pro Max) will be the first iPhone I won't be getting the Belikin tempered glass protector Apple offers in-store. I just don't care about protecting my iPhones like I use to. I may just get a clear case and that's a maybe.
 
I will always use one until the iPhone comes with a sapphire Crystal display (something I doubt will happen anytime soon).

I am not one for dropping my phones but couldn’t handle a scratch on my screen, I would have to sell and get a new one, plus keeping these things in great condition does help with resale value.

I ordered that as well for the 12 Pro Max. Normally I get Anker's but I haven't seen one by them for this years yet.

That one has the notch as well like the Belkin one. Personally I don’t like that. I prefer the ESR one I got as it has no notch.

I like the ESR ones but on my iPhone XS I went though about 6 of them over the course of 2 years, they always seem to lift in the corners for me, so going to give the Belkin one a try this time round.
 
Been using the Zagg glass one on my 11 after not using any screen protectors on my last couple phones. It’s been holding up pretty well, just got one tiny vertical scratch on the bottom left corner, barely noticeable.

I noticed this company has not yet issued screen protectors for the 12 yet... Is it possible the one for the 11 will fit the 12 and 6.1” Pro or are the dimensions slightly different?
