Recommendations for a high-quality iPhone 17e screen protector?

Question

Finally ditching my iPhone 11 (battery is toast) for the 17e, but I'm anxious about the screen. I checked Spigen, but people say the edges lift on thinner models—and the 17e is so slim. Belkin seems okay but way too expensive for what it is? My logic is I need clarity without the bulk. Any recommendations?

TL;DR: Get ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass XTR3 for iPhone 17e because it has reinforced edges designed for slim bezels. Look, I have 25 years of shop experience. I deal with tight tolerances every day. Listen, that 17e has almost no bezel for a protector to grab onto. Most people blame the glass when it’s actually poor surface prep or cheap adhesive. Quick tip: Toss the cleaning kit that comes in the box. Use 99% isopropyl alcohol and a clean microfiber cloth. Any oil left on those edges will cause lifting within 48 hours. Are you using this in a high-dust environment like a shop floor or just for office work? If you’re around metal shavings or heavy grit, you need a different impact spec than a standard glass sheet. Let me know what your daily work looks like.

ngl i was just looking into this because everyone on reddit says the same thing about spigen... lowkey annoying. tbh if you want that super thin feel without the lifting maybe check out ESR Armorite Screen Protector for iPhone 17e. it usually comes with that easy install frame which is CLUTCH. im pretty sure i saw a video where it looks way more flush than the others but idk if it stays perfect forever...
