Is it unavoidable to have white edge on the screen protector?


Most people found that sometime there are “halo effect” or so-called “white edges” on the transparent tempered glass screen protectors, and it’s hard to remove this white line. Now, let us tell you the truth behind.

2) Tempered glass is rigid., the harder the material, the easier it is to have white edges. Therefore, glass screen protector is easier to has the problem of white edge comparing to soft film screen protector.
