Why do you keep using the word "proof"? No one used that word here for a general consensus to prove my theory as a whole, I was proving a theory internally in my mind about two different layers of adhesives were used for the borders and actual screen itself, as I had TWO of these to play with (I will explain more below) and I was only speculating with my real-life obtained results. I'm awaiting for my third replacement as the first two had the EXACT problem, lifting when pressing down the edges, and compressed air easily lifting the screen protector.

I hope you do know that the adhesive on the screen and the adhesive on the sides are separate, and it seems as if it was applied after the adhesive layer on the screen protector during the manufacturing process, as I have had the adhesive PEEL off on me completely, causing misalignment in adhesion. The sides may be thinner hence the adhesive didn't stick as well, but then I could be worrying about the absolute edge of the screen protector visible on the screen, right?

For example on my OnePlus, and my several other devices like the S5, Xperia Z3 tablet, LG G2, Note 2, etc....if you shoot compressed air at a corner (0-90deg), it will not lift the screen protector in any way possible. Halos are easy to tell if it's hidden, and I wasn't aiming at any particular spot, I could shoot it from any angle from the black coloring and it will lift (with the 2 versions of IntelliGLASS PRO I had) most probably due to the curvature of my screen.

Again, I am not giving any particular solid proof, but rather a second thought/speculation regarding this issue. If you have nothing better to say than just defending a product you bought by going against people who gave some proof that it didn't apply properly, this is a thread on a forum free to open criticism, and mutual agreement for change. If you think they should remove the black border, go ahead, say it - no one's stopping you. I say improve the adhesive for those with massive halo issues in the past because judging by the results I have gotten, my lifts caused by adding pressure to the edges of the screen protector resulted in this:

(You can notice that yes indeed the speaker and camera area attracted a ton of pocket lint)

In my case, the black SUCCESSFULLY hid the halos from visibility, which on my end, and not only my end, would satisfy the user much more than say applying the normal IntelliGLASS, or the EZGuard TGSP.

Overall, the screen protector was really well made, kudos to IntelliARMOR! But I found a flaw, and the words you speak of can't deny the fact that after 5 days (beyond their application wait period), shooting compressed gas directly at the black borders would cause a lift on my screen from any angle from any spot on the phone (top, side or bottom). You can say that yes, compressed air is much stronger than any air that would essentially penetrate through the adhesive to formulate a halo through normal use. I agree with that. But that's with the phone untouched. If I wanted a halo all I had to do is put pressure on the screen rather than the borders to simulate a halo under the borders - which is inverse to how I can simulate a halo directly on the screen by pressing on the borders, and this is very easy to simulate in the pocket. The lint will enter the halo'd border as shown above, and that pic was taken FRESH after removing the glass.

Regardless, I have finished explaining my issue. You could choose to believe my theory or not. But my picture results stands above. If you can explain it better go ahead (and don't even say I applied it wrong, or I chose to do it in a dirty environment, because my work area was super sanitized beforehand, moistened (with and without the bath running), laid out cleanly, and I made sure my hands were washed thoroughly before attempting to even apply anything as if I was entering a hospital/medical testing lab :o :good: )

Originally I didn't want to post pictures out of respect to [MENTION=6689878]intelliARMOR[/MENTION] within their PMs so they could acknowledge this issue and could inconspicuously resolve it for the next buyer, but the XDA effect (as someone said before in this thread) has hit way too many people and they won't be satisfied unless I give them solid evidence of my own device, with the flawed unit(s) to show I'm not blindly theorizing here, but trying to collectively converse about a real issue some people are facing.
