I just dropped way too much money on this 16 Pro Max and honestly the bezels are so tiny this year that Im actually worried. Ive been using iPhones since the 3G days and usually I just slap a Spigen Tough Armor on and call it a day but Ive been reading some horror stories about the new screen curvature messing with traditional tempered glass. Apparently the edges are lifting or causing dead zones with the haptic feedback and I really cant deal with that right now. Im heading out to a job site in rural Maine next Tuesday and I need this thing tank-proof before I leave.
Ive looked at the Dbrand Grip and maybe the Nomad Rugged but I havent seen anyone confirm if they play nice with the ultra-thin screen protectors everyone is selling. Budget is about 100 bucks total for both the case and the glass. Is anyone actually using a screen protector right now that doesnt have that weird rainbow effect on the edges or interfere with the swipe-to-back gesture because of the thin frame? My old 14 Pro Max setup felt way more solid than this. What are you guys using that actually fits the new dimensions perfectly?

I stumbled on this today and honestly, I feel your pain. After years of dropping phones, I've figured out what works without draining the wallet or overcomplicating things.

Ive tried many different glass brands and ESR is the only one that didnt give me that weird rainbow glare on the thin edges. Since youre going to a job site in Maine, just make sure you clean the screen like crazy before applying the glass to avoid dust. It might save you from a massive headache if you drop it on some gravel or something... good luck with the trip!
