Does anyone make a clear film wet applied screen protector that is a compromise between a fill coverage and one that has a 2.5mm gap on the edges?


The current Skinomi one I have is similar to the Armour suit and illumishield ones. Had a 2.5mm gap all the way around. Was hoping perhaps someone made a version with a 1.5mm gap.

I found the full coverage wet applied ones need to be 100% aligned else a side or edge or corner won't stick down due to the film being half a mil on the frame thus rendering that area to stay down.

But having said that , I've managed the back clear full coverage on mine no problems.

I had Spigen film protectors and they seemed to have pretty full coverage. Easy to apply and by the next day no bubbles or lifted corners. Using Whitestone dome now so can't measure any gap on the Spigen, but I was happy with it.

I have a screenpeel / orange knight... grrr (tourettes) "Screen knight".

Like having a transparent orange stuck to your phone. Terrible.

Like running your finger over a cats tongue. Don`t recommend.

The ArmorSuit screen protectors are very smooth to the touch...until you use the SPen on them LOL Then its track mark city.

I think Skinomi, ArmorSuit, IllumiShield, etc are all cut the same. They each seem to have a full coverage and two version of the caee friendly. One case friendly covers a little more screen than the other.

Phantomskinz has the best quality wet protectors IMO. Thickest, clearest I've been able to find. Yes, they still have a bit of orange peel look, but much less than any others. And I find its more resistant to S Pen damage. That said, they're the hardest to apply and most expensive. Customer service could be better. I also dont like the back skin because the sides, top, and bottom are attached to the same piece.

For the back protector I go with BestSkinEver since the sides, top, and bottom are separate pieces from the back itself. I usually don't bother with those pieces though. They are the best compromise between cost and quality and customer service is excellent.

Both companies offer case friendly front protectors, if that's your thing.
