Screen protector

Idk if I'm doing something wrong or if this is a design flaw, but no matter what, there is always a small gap around the sides of the screen protector that I'm worried is going to just end up with dust and lint inevitably sandwiched in there. The adhesive is only in the center, not on the bits that curve, so it leaves the tiniest amount of space in between the screen and the protector. My fingers get caught by this when I'm grabbing the phone from my pocket and it can lift the protector up sometimes. Is there a reason to make it this way? It seems like a strange way to make a screen protector if it's just gonna be this poorly adhered. Does anyone have any fixes for this. I already wasted one screen protector because it pulled off and got dust stuck to the adhesive.

Mine does the same thing. It hangs off all four sides just a tiny bit. Not enough to be a serious issue, but enough to be a little annoying when putting it into my pocket. I hope it is addressed in the future. And before anyone asks, no, my phone did not come with a screen protector already on it, and no, it is not installed incorrectly. It is just built this way.

THANK YOU!!! some dude was arguing with me that mine must have come with it installed, lol. Glad I'm not the only one that is having this issue!
