The amount of time, effort, and money you put into these reviews is absolutely incredible. No fluff, no jump cuts, no obnoxious editing… just simple information. Easily one of the best tech TH-camrs on the platform.
Thanks for making these long videos, love them compared to watching each one individually. But you missed a very important feature with all the screen protectors that have a black edge. They all go slightly into the screen (at least on the 16 Pro). This is definitely a deal breaker for me when it comes to these. If you don’t see it at first sight, open up your camera and you can’t see the white lines in the corners only when peaking at an angle.
Yup, agree with you on this. It seems like all these companies have left the bezel size the same as the 15 pro. The 16 pro line has a smaller bezel so that’s why the black outline on the protector is cutting into the screen. I’ve bought 4 different brands already and have yet found one that doesn’t cut into the screen. My camera control icons are slightly cut off by the black border
Very impressed with the additional testing. Seems like the big issue people are having are the black screen protector borders covering actual display. Can you incorporate a test for that in the future?
A couple of things I wanted to note: 1. Would love to see your take on the Belkin Ultraglass. This is the official screen protector that Apple Store employees install on your phone when you are there. Or you can buy the install at home version from the Apple Store. I have it on my 16 Pro Max and I am quite pleased with it. 2. FloLab customer service mention to me they will be updating their screen protectors to accomodate for the smaller 16 pro/pro max bezels. The first one will be to the existing one time pro (currently the bezel slightly covers the edges of the phone screens). This update should happen around mid october. Might make it the definitive screen protector at that point. 3. Flolab will release a "curved" screen protector with full screen coverage around November. This is going to be a hot bending type of glass and should be something new and interesting. I stay tuned to your videos as you go in depth and its always nice to see some good analysis on these products! You saved me from buying the UAG screen protector! 😅
Specifically, Belkin UltraGlass 2 for iPhone 16 Pro Max. It has up to 24% better drop performance than the previous Belkin UltraGlass. Interested to see how durable it is.
Here’s my comment without seeing the video. I have in my 16pro max and a glass screen protector since day one and it really does its job. It’s been through some drops and the phone always in my pocket and the protector has not a single scratch. The best thing is that I bought it at Temu for $6 a pack of 3 and 3 camera protector. For me this is the best protector.. i will continue to see the whole video……..😮
Thanks so much for all the hard work and effort. Must admit, seems the general drop protection for many of the screens is much lower than before. Not sure if it is because the 16 has just been released or maybe the screen being slightly larger. Hopefully as time goes by, this can improve. Also, If you could add a table, with the results in a week or so, it would be great. Great video. Pity some of the brands don't sell on Amazon UK.
I was worried about the screen protectors not reaching the edges with rainbow issues or making the bezels thicker, this video solved all of my doubts and I now know which protector to get. Thank you very much for your hard work and keep it up!
Fantastic video. The main issue I’ve had with screen protectors for the 16 Pro Max is touch screen sensitivity reduction. Did you happen to notice that any were better or worse than others in your testing and/or personal use?
So good I’m not the only one. I’ve got the ESR clear protector on now. I’ve noticed especially with using the keyboard I’ve had so many text errors from I guess not pressing hard enough. Maybe it’s the thickness of it?
@@HelloRenauldo ESR is the exact one I was having the most issues with. Tried two different models. Same issues. Bought the Spigen that is reviewed in this video. It’s much better, but still missing some screen presses (never had this issue without the screen protector, OR with any iPhone with any screen protector in the past).
ESR is producing the majority of these issues, especially their Armorite. I'm using Spigen EZ Fit for 16 pro max and I'm not having any responsiveness issues at all
This is so damn in-depth, it's unfair you're this small! Thank you so much for your hard work! I'm waiting for my new Flolab Onetime Pro as I miss the anti-reflective properties my S24 Ultra had and I really want a similar effect on my 16 Pro Max.
RINGKE glass has a very settled lip extension covering the speaker grill. Never seen any other manufacturer going the extra mile of protection. Hopefully my new Spigen Ultra Hybrid T will have enough of cutout to accommodate the glass.
Let me know how the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T is for you. Currently waiting for my Pro Max and that’s what I have ready to go but I was going to return it and do the Belkin one at Apple. This video is telling me to hold off and maybe give it a shot.
Gotta says super-duper appreciated for all your videos. In my country the options are limited, as soon as this video drops, I immediately grab three packs of ESR Tempered Glass. Before this was running the Zeelot Solid Sleek but the black border ate my screen so really annoying.
My biggest concern is coverage. The largest issue this year has been finding a screen protector that covers the entire display as much as possible without blocking any part of the display with smooth edges. Is there anything you can say about that regarding these screen protectors?
Really amazing video thank you! Could you review the otter box screen protectors? I have heard good things about them but can’t seem to find reviews on them.
I love your screen protector videos😊 I do kind of disagree with you about the Spigen screen protector though. I had it on my 14 pro max. I had a wildflower case on my phone. I dropped it on the tile floor in my kitchen and absolutely nothing happened. I definitely dropped it more than three feet. I currently have the 16 Pro and I do believe it will fit multiple cases. I had the same screen protector on my old phone and I had quite a case collection
I think with the ESR Armorite when you tried removing that bubble you might have shifted the screen protector a little down and hence why it was not sticking. im sure if it was aligned correctly it would stick fine and that bubble at the botom would be gone
From your review I would say that Benks one is better then ESR as clear protector and Benks should also be with Flolab and UltraGlass as Best overall drop protection 🎉
you don't mention anything about the screen protector black bezel. Since the iphone 16 pro max screen bezel is too thin, most of the screen protector black bezel gonna cover some part of the iphone 16 pro and 16 pro max screen.
Hi everyone! Did I understand correctly that there are still no glasses that would not make the frames thicker on the iphone 16 pro max? I've already tried a lot of glasses, and everywhere the frames are thicker than on the phone. And there is also an unpleasant moment with the screen. Sticking occurs when printing text. Is that the case with everyone?
Is the Flolab OneTime Pro Privacy screen protector compatible with the unicorn beetle mag xt magsafe case. If you can check & let me know I would appreciate it. I have both items, still waiting for my iphone 16pro max.
Small question! Especially for the FLOLAB PRO screen protector. Does the black bezel of the screen protector cut into the screen at all? I've seen some reviews on Amazon and such showing that it covers the Camera Control UI slightly/cuts into it slightly when using the new camera button
From a other video: So I asked Flolab about the border issue, and this is their response: "Hey there! We totally get it-Apple’s smaller bezel this year has made it challenging for everyone. The good news is, we already have the thinnest border at 0.8mm, which is better than most others on the market. Plus, we’re launching an even smaller bezel (0.7mm) in October, and a hot-bend glass version that will be even better! Stay tuned, and thanks for your support to everyone supporting us. We appreciate you!"
how did you like the one time pro flolab clear, thats the one i ordered for my phone before even seeing this video. that esr for $6 is wild, but the rainbow is terrible on that one
Same thing as in a case. Hard cases are better because they are more durable than soft jiggly ones. Remember, we want to protect the case, not the phone. I wonder why they don’t use strong and durable metal plates in helmets and air bags. Dumb engineers maybe.

Are they gonna replace those people who bought on day 1 with the updated screen protector?

@@friendlyneighborhood7600yes but have to pay for shipping. I got the sash here messages about October and November when I contacted them.
Belkin and otterbox
cant wait for flolab

You should do all privacy screen protectors I'd like to see which ones are good and bad
Thanks so much for all the hard work and effort. Must admit, seems the general drop protection for many of the screens is much lower than before.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU IVE BEEN LOKKING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS FOR THE 16
Thank you for this video ! I would love to also see a test for the ESR privacy tempered glass screen protector. Love from France !
I was worried about the screen protectors not reaching the edges with rainbow issues or making the bezels thicker, this video solved all of my doubts and I now know which protector to get. Thank you very much for your hard work and keep it up!
Which are you getting?

I have heard that it is a software-bug. To be fixed.
@@adamwilson4223Reddit has people having the issue without it as well. It’s apparently happening on all gen phones with iOS 18 not the phone itself
ESR is producing the majority of these issues, especially their Armorite.
I'm using Spigen EZ Fit for 16 pro max and I'm not having any responsiveness issues at all
most valuable video around!
Great review, I think the only one big player missing is Bellkin
Thanks, great test. Belkin UltraGlass2 (from Apple Store) is missing for my opinion.
This is so damn in-depth, it's unfair you're this small! Thank you so much for your hard work!
I'm waiting for my new Flolab Onetime Pro as I miss the anti-reflective properties my S24 Ultra had and I really want a similar effect on my 16 Pro Max.
Really appreciate your effort on helping us in making the right choice with these screen protectors. You are amazing. Thank you!

My biggest concern is coverage. The largest issue this year has been finding a screen protector that covers the entire display as much as possible without blocking any part of the display with smooth edges. Is there anything you can say about that regarding these screen protectors?
Can someone explain to me why all/most screen protectors have those black borders?
Really appreciate the time you take to do these videos. Thank you 👍🏾
ultraglass is my faV 10/10
Really amazing video thank you! Could you review the otter box screen protectors? I have heard good things about them but can’t seem to find reviews on them.
Superb video, you can make a follow up in couple months, since a lot of companies declared they are updating their products + dbrand prism 2.0

Would love to see you do a review of the Belkin UltraGlass 2 screen protector for the 16 series.
would be nice to see a Shellrus sapphire included in this test.
I think with the ESR Armorite when you tried removing that bubble you might have shifted the screen protector a little down and hence why it was not sticking. im sure if it was aligned correctly it would stick fine and that bubble at the botom would be gone
You need to put all score for comparison
From your review I would say that Benks one is better then ESR as clear protector and Benks should also be with Flolab and UltraGlass as Best overall drop protection 🎉
been waiting for this
Great video 🎉 cong…
you don't mention anything about the screen protector black bezel. Since the iphone 16 pro max screen bezel is too thin, most of the screen protector black bezel gonna cover some part of the iphone 16 pro and 16 pro max screen.
Will the Torras one interfere with Spigen Ultra Hybrid case? If not imma buy it
2:30:40 I think UltraGlass was better since it sustained a 6ft drop and doesn't have a rainbow effect on the sides.
i was about to buy the flolab one but i read about some info online that flolab covers the camera control ui and decided not to
Outstanding 👏🏻
The bodyguardz screen protector is an astonishing $60 (more than what their case cost). Yet it had one of the worst drop protections. Lmao
Wow😮great review!!!!!

1:29:11 why does it get a 3/5 for drop protection when it lasted up to 6ft drop>?
why you dont test ugreen ? its one of the best if not the best

Do they have the flolab onetime max mattle on Amazon
Don't you want your screen protector to break as a way to absorb impact?

I dont understand, the ESR went all the way up to 8 ft on last years video but now it fell this low?
Might be using cheaper materials to save money? Different chemistry? Different thicknesses? 🤷♂️
@@HighTechCheck Must of spent more on the box design so had to cut back in other areas
torres?
