Just returned from the Apple Store in Leeds UK. As someone as already posted elsewhere, there is a quality issue with the Belkin in store screen protector’s. I enquired about the OtterBox Amplify as an alternative - they’ve been pulled as well so, maybe it’s an issue with the machine? He did say that prior to the pulling, the one’s fitted early in the morning appeared to go on fine. I ended up leaving with an OtterBox Amplify & a Belkin, to fit at home, as that’s all that was left for the 13 Pro Max.

I believe it's this one - I'm also going Sunday to my local Apple store to hopefully get one installed. I'm in the states also. I hope the machines are OK here, I hate putting on protectors.

I used a spare 12 PM one from Armor. It fits perfectly except for that stupid notch. It doesn't interfere with Face ID. It just bothers me looking at it. I don't want to shell out another $35.

My sister ask me to help her get a deal on her 75" Samsung Q60 LED two months ago. I kept bargaining and somehow the manager ended up offering Tempered Glass screen protectors...

Knowing I will be buying the 13PM, I ask him for 12PM. LOL So this is what I will be using.

I got her $100 off the sale price and free wall mount BTW.

I was in the store today and was told they didn’t have the machines to apply protectors for the new phones. They will get them at some point though.

What store can you buy them in? I never heard of them. Why do you like them better than zagg or belkin

I never said I like them better just that they are a name brand. I never used them personally but, have used zagg/belkin. Otterbox glare guard is my personal favorite.

Why would you over pay for a screen protector that you can put on your self? Most come with a guide now. Just get one of those.

I applied myself the Belkin esclusive 20$ one as the machine wasn't available. But I then noticed that it is a matte protector.... I wanted it shiny.... well, anyway the application is a breeze

Just put on a ESR screen protector on mine. Went on without a hitch. Had it on my iPhone 12 pro as well. Very good name brand screen protector.

Why wouldn’t you just get an ESR off Amazon? I got one for my 13P and it goes on super easy with a guide. Zero issues.

ESR Armorite Screen Protector Compatible with iPhone 13 Pro Max, with Easy Installation Frame, 110 lb of Force Resistance, Ultra-Tough Tempered-Glass Screen Protector, 2 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099KHRJJW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_7S5QW3DJXTZ5NA118C4P
what case? I got sierra blue and want to see the colour so not a clear case ideally a see through one? Yes I know the pack comes with an easy installer everytime I peel the front of the label on iphone off I get a spec of two of dust, how quickly do you install it to pretend particles in the air getting on the screen?

I am scared to get one spec of dust or hair on the phone
And at the store you think they care? I always put on a screen protector right when i pull ff the cover on the phone, that way its almost impossible to get dust under the glass.takes five minutes.

Because if it’s not exactly perfect when they hand it to me, I hand it back and say do it again.
That doesnt make sense. Why cant you do it your self? I never had a problem. A eight year old can do it. My nephew got a iphone SE and he did it himself. I showed him how. No dust or crap under the screen. Not difficult. I didnt even know they hadba screen protector service at Apple. Thought they were extinct at stores period.

You make many assumptions there. I am capable of doing it myself, but why when I can have them take the freshly opened phone and take care of it for me.

I am a perfectionist when it comes to these things and the ones they use in the store go on perfectly and are basically invisible. If I don’t get it on expat correctly or dust or dog hair sneak in while I’m applying it, I have to pay for another. If they’re doing it, I don’t pay until it’s done correctly. It’s not that expensive.
