I bought the Pixel intelliarmor HD from Amazon, it was noticeably thinner than the viewable screen. Like, legitimate stripes of screen on each side of the protector if you centered it. Completely useless.

I also bought the klearlook one, it ALMOST, but not quite covers the entire viewable area. I'm leaving it on until I can figure out a possible replacement.

The fosmon at least covered the front of the screen, but it was nearly impossible to get on straight because it's not tempered glass. Plus the front and back have adhesive protective layers and you can't peel the front piece off without using your fingers and mussing up the adhesive that sticks to your screen. Wasn't impressed by those either.

Might try skinomi now... very disappointed with the tempered glass options, which is what I'd prefer to have. Need one that actually covers the whole screen, including the top.
[Google Pixel Accessories] Phantom Pt. II:
This one has a perfect fit. Just not sure how well it protects. Also shows where you've gotten rid of bubbles while applying. But perfect fit even tight at the edges.

[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
That is just the plastic protector, not glass correct?
[Google Pixel Accessories] Phantom Pt. II:
Correct
[Google Pixel Accessories] turbogrim:
Just want to second this. I also purchased the Intelliarmor HD. The iCarez plastic protector covered more surface area. Really disappointed.
[Google Pixel Accessories] charklos:
Also got the intelliarmor, it's not wide enough to cover the viewing area. Sad day for Pixel owners trying to protect our stuff :(
[Google Pixel Accessories] saltorio:
Ugh, that's disappointing.

I ordered the intelliArmor for my Pixel last week. I haven't received a shipping confirmation yet (and actually just emailed them about that), but now I'm wondering if I should just cancel the order.
[Google Pixel Accessories] Blainedh:
Thanks for the heads up. I ordered the IntelliArmor earlier today and now I've canceled it.
[Google Pixel Accessories] ursubpar:
Has anyone found screen protectors that cover just the screen only? I have a slickwraps wrap coming in soon and want to be able to use the front wrap + a screen protector to protect the front of the phone.

If I end up not being able to find one, I'll just cut up a plastic one to the right size.
[Google Pixel Accessories] bazofia:
I never received a confirmation but was delivered today. As other noticed it won't cover the screen completely unfortunately. Here are some reviews from the Pixel XL forum you guys might be interested:

Also ordered the IntelliGLASS HD tempered glass and can confirm it is too narrow. I emailed intelliARMOR about it and they responded that they are working on an updated model so I guess I'll give that a try when they send it. I liked the SP otherwise.

Sent from my Moto X+2
[Google Pixel Accessories] charklos:
IntelliARMOR was really good about customer service- they refunded me for my purchase, but also let me know about their plans to release an updated version. I will definitely be buying from them again simply bc they know how to treat a customer.
[Google Pixel Accessories] RoccoN4:
I just got these in. I ruined 2 protectors just trying to take off the tab one film. Would not come off. Kept separating from tab 2 first. I have installed countless screen protectors.

Just for fun, i put the 2nd screen protector on to see how it fits with my case. Soon as I put my case on (Spigen Rugged), it lifted the corners of the screen protector.
[Google Pixel Accessories] charklos:
Ok all, just got the Verizon standard screen protector 3-pk and I gotta say, it's my favorite so far, tempered or not. It fits the whole viewing area and its crystal clear. I'm definitely rocking this while I wait for a decent tg alternative. Highly recommend, and $12 for a 3pk isn't terrible
[Google Pixel Accessories] chazall1:
I never liked tempered glass screen protectors. I have been using Clarivue Ultra Clear protectors for years on all my phones. Clarivue on my Nexus 5 for 3 years only 1 protectoe. Until I can locate a similar non tempered glass I ordered the verizon 3 pack. I have contacted Clarivue and they have indicated to me that they are planning on having their screen covers soon.

I found an extra Clarivue Ultra Clear that I am using now on my Pixel, until I find a good alternative.

Thanks
[Google Pixel Accessories] subhani:
Do you have an update with this, OP?

Is it full coverage? Any halo? Any clarity issues?
[Google Pixel Accessories] Azerox:
Would like to see pictures of the 'good' fits :)

Thanks!
[Google Pixel Accessories] sn0warmy:
Sorry for the delay. Here are some pictures to show the fit. The protector really does fit great. It is wet apply so the curved edges don't matter and you won't get a halo effect. The coverage is great as it gets pretty darn close to the sides and the top/bottom. Mine is installed just slightly high, which is why the bottom edge has a slightly larger gap. But with my Cimo TPU case installed, the lip of the case hugs the screen protector edges just about perfectly for excellent overall protection.

The protector is also extremely thin so it's very difficult to see that there is even a screen protector installed when just looking at the phone, especially when the case is installed. The clarity is still very good but don't expect it to feel as crisp and smooth to the touch as the bare screen or tempered glass protectors do. It is a plastic protector, after all. I initially planned on using this protector temporarily, until the Orzly tempered glass protector got released. But honestly, I'm so happy with this screen protector that I'll probably just leave it on for the foreseeable future.
[Google Pixel Accessories] chazall1:
Thanks sn0warmy. I will try out the screen protector from Skinomi.

Looks very nice.

Thanks
[Google Pixel Accessories] saltorio:
Here's a few photos I took of the intelliGLASS HD on my Pixel (sorry for the quality, was taking them with my Note 10.1 tablet). Far too narrow for the screen, and even with that the edges aren't sticking down. Very disappointed.

I'm in communication with intelliARMOR, who (as others have mentioned) are working on a new model.
[Google Pixel Accessories] Jank4AU:
I just applied the Skinomi this morning. Really like the full coverage it provides. Word of warning that everyone probably already knows...don't install your screen protectors under a freaking air vent. Right as I got everything wet and pulled off the screen protector, the damn AC kicked on and blew **** all over the place, dust, etc. FML...:victory::victory::victory:
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
Wet and dry install plastic protectors don't have Halo effect problems, tempered glass screen protectors have the issue.

99% of plastic / skin should cover 100% of the front glass. Only reason, tgsp are cut short on purpose is the screens edges are curved and they dont bend like plastic ones do.

Plastic protectors tend to peel at corners and collect lint if used in pocket.

Skins tend not to be smooth, smudge and start to yellow with time and loosing clarity.
[Google Pixel Accessories] CollinFX45:
Of course I found this thread after buying a tempered glass screen protector that is WAY too narrow and doesn't even cover the screen. What a strange phenomenon on this device. I tried two different brands (one from Amazon, one from eBay) and both were too narrow. Did Google publish the wrong specs for the screen size or something?

I guess I will just wait until a correct-fitting glass one exists. I don't mind something like the Skinomi, but I am the worst person in the entire world at putting on screen protectors. I would have to buy seven of them and a case of beer to get it done.

[Google Pixel Accessories] bertiespeed:
Avoid this cheap eBay tgsp same issue .
[Google Pixel Accessories] Archangel:
Other than the glass not going to the full edge,,,is there any other problems such as edges coming unglued? I ask because it looks like every screen protector does not cover the full screen so I guess the only real choice for now is one that at least the edges stay glued down?
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
ALL tgsp will be narrow, the phone's screen is curved so it can not and will not stick to the edges and create a halo/unsticking effect at the edges.

No google didn't publish anything, it's up to the manufacturer's to do their own R&D, mostly by buying their own or borrowing a Pixel/XL and testing. And accessories are "late" because dimensions/specifications were kept hush hush.

This isn't a new issue, it's been happening "a problem" for a while now with many screens that have curved edges i.e Note 4, Note 5, Nexus 6, LG G4, Galaxy S6, iPhone 6s Plus, many others suffer this.

Ultimately on my Nexus 6 and LG G4 (screen is concave, less so than LG Flex) I could never find one that didn't halo, had to use a skin.
[Google Pixel Accessories] bertiespeed:
Not as bad as some posted. It's quite thick and the edges have a rainbow effect on bright color/white screens. But was only 7$ ..
[Google Pixel Accessories] MisterRich:
So, I caved in and picked up the SpartanShield glass protector for my Pixel. I've had SpartanShield's for every one of my phones back as far as I know glass protectors have been made, and always happy with the quality, price, and layout.

Until now.

I can not imagine someone who's going to put a protector on a phone, and be happy with the amount of space around the frame of the glass that's not only unprotected, but, unsightly due to the 2mm gap around it....

If you have a GOOD glass protector which meets the edges of the phone, please post a picture!
[Google Pixel Accessories] daewond3r:
I don't think there are any at the moment. It seems all of the manufacturers made the same mistake. Pleson and IntelliARMOR are making revised versions. We'll probably see those in the coming weeks.
[Google Pixel Accessories] saltorio:
Hey, that looks like it fully covered the width of the LCD at least.

I don't mind some space around the edges of the phone. I realize the phones front glass bevels down around the edges, and I have a case on it anyway. However it has to completely cover the LCD and as much of the forehead and chin as possible.
[Google Pixel Accessories] :
Anyone tried https://www.incipio.com/cases/smart...le-pixel-plex-plus-flex-screen-protector.html?

From the pictures, it looks like it covers more than any screen glass protector.

I already got intelliarmor before I found this and waiting for the revised edition.
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
I suggest you install and turn on the device, or at least turn it on and check if the TGSP at least covers the visible screen.

AGAIN: It's not a mistake, this has been an ongoing issue throughout many phones and manufacturers that have 2.5D screens. Only real fixes are cutting them short, making them super thin (0.2mm) with extra adhesive at the edges (which has it's own problems / issues) or putting a colored border (aka PRO versions). Cuts can't be super precise, installations (person who installs it) never get it perfectly aligned, so there has to be some "margin" for error.. Examples are people that posted pictures with halo (ungluging / unsticking) on only one edge or either on top or bottom. Misaligning the install on a precise cut will cause the side too close to curve to "halo"...
[Google Pixel Accessories] daewond3r:
I received my RhinoShield screen protector today. It's OK. It has closed cutouts, which I like. It also covers more of the screen than my Pleson (first edition) did, though it still doesn't offer full coverage. There's also a slight yellow tint. I'll most likely keep this on for a while.
[Google Pixel Accessories] Sir_Bruce_Lee:
Dam, just got this from Nillkin
[Google Pixel Accessories] subhani:
What kind screen protector are they referring to?
[Google Pixel Accessories] Sir_Bruce_Lee:
They are not making their 3D CP+ MAX series, it's their top of the line screen protector with full coverage and black/white bezels

http://www.nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=0&tid=0&cid=1&scid=&id=6417&page=1

They are still making the H and H+ Pro screen protectors

http://www.nillkin.com/english/product.asp?bid=1311&mid=2&sid=0&tid=0
[Google Pixel Accessories] saltorio:
I'd be careful. Those image are clearly only representative (as proven by it stating it's a tempered glass protector, and then showing the protector peeled/rolled off in the second image). As such, it's hard to tell if it in fact does fit as shown.
[Google Pixel Accessories] atlp99:
I Emailed Incipio asking about that screen protector because of the conflicting pictures and descriptions. Haven't heard back yet.
[Google Pixel Accessories] earthdan:
How is the "feel" of the screen protector? I have a cheapo glass screen protector that claimed there was an oleophobic coating, but it feels terrible compared to the original screen, and gets fingerprints all over it. I suspect they skipped the coating all together......
[Google Pixel Accessories] daewond3r:
After a day of use, I love the feel. Swiping over the screen is so much easier than it was with the Pleson TGSP. No visible fingerprints.
[Google Pixel Accessories] earthdan:
Thanks! Also, how noticeable would you say the yellow tint is?
[Google Pixel Accessories] daewond3r:
If you've ever had a wet application screen protector, it's like that. If I look closely I can see a clear difference in the covered white areas and the uncovered white areas. It makes the white look less vibrant, kinda "dingy"? However, at a glance it's not that noticeable.
[Google Pixel Accessories] subhani:
Please let us know when they respond. It's a very costly screen protector and it ships to the UK. Wouldn't wanna deal with the hassle of returns etc or lose money of that amount.
[Google Pixel Accessories] atlp99:
I will
[Google Pixel Accessories] Sir_Bruce_Lee:
Orzly just put up a video about their Tempered Glass Screen Protector

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJEB-rIWjK4

Looks very promising
[Google Pixel Accessories] MiataManiac:
Looks like at least one company finally got their act together!
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
Looks super nice, too bad the front cam is covered... Looks like Intelliarmor pro edition.

Dec 9-16 delivery on Amazon.. or 2x the price directly from Orzly..
[Google Pixel Accessories] MiataManiac:
Shouldn't make a difference so long as it's completely clean when applying the TGSP. Besides, it's always nice to have a little extra protection over the lens for those of us that seem to accidentally, habitually get hairline scratches on the lens.
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
In my experience dust always gets in there some how and you can't clean it without removing and washing off the protector..
[Google Pixel Accessories] subhani:
Thanks for sharing, Bruce. I had this onnorder and it was supposed to arrive two days ago from Amazon. They never delay like this so I sent them an email last night. No reply yet.

I ordered both the black and white faces from them. I still don't think the white will be fully covered but gonna give it a try.

They're clever... By going for the coloured faces instead of clear glass, the halo effect will be invisible. I don't believe they have over come that problem. Just masked it. And who cares... Right? Not me, so long as it stays on the display and huge gaps don't show.
[Google Pixel Accessories] MiataManiac:
Well, someone just pointed this out to me, and it's making me pretty leary of the Orzly Pro-Fit now. Looks like there's adhesive only along the edges of the SP, allowing for air pockets and contaminants to get between the screen and the SP...
[Google Pixel Accessories] Phantom Pt. II:
Awesome. I ordered this one weeks ago, still hasn't arrived.
[Google Pixel Accessories] subhani:
IKR.

They just told me today that they're sending another set. Apparently lost in the post.
[Google Pixel Accessories] Phantom Pt. II:
Talk about timing, just got home and it's been delivered.
[Google Pixel Accessories] WhiteBoy997:
I actually bought one during their fire sell and ended up purchasing the XL instead of the 5 inch ugh. And by the time I noticed what I did the package already shipped and well since it's a third party shipping/handling there was no way of canceling the item.
[Google Pixel Accessories] saltorio:
Ooo... Please share your thoughts and photos.
[Google Pixel Accessories] Phantom Pt. II:
Fit is great but it only has adhesive under the bezel parts. Also, I didn't apply it perfectly so it's about 2 mm too low which is gonna bother me a lot . Not sure if I can take it off and re apply.
[Google Pixel Accessories] subhani:
You lucky ...
[Google Pixel Accessories] sn0warmy:
You can remove/re-apply. I had this same exact protector on my OnePlus 3 and I was able to remove/re-apply it a couple of times until it was perfect. The adhesive is only around the edges so it makes it pretty easy to work with.

With that said, I want to mention that I had this protector on my OnePlus 3 for the last 6 months and it's been a great overall protector. However, over time I was finding more and more dust getting under the screen protector and into the center of the screen. Since the middle has no adhesive, all it takes is for the slightest little gap in glue around the edge and in time you'll get dust coming in.

With that said, I ordered one of these protectors a couple of weeks ago for my Pixel, as well. Overall I was very pleased with it on my last phone. It looks like these protectors are starting to arrive for people as I'm seeing people post pictures of theirs on Google+. Hoping mine comes in the next couple of days.
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
Yea thats my issue the dust that gets into the front cam. Sigh..

I broke both my intelliarmor pro trying to remove to clean. Eneded up with skin instead on previous phone.
[Google Pixel Accessories] subhani:
Strange. I have had the pro from intelliarmor and never had this issue. I literally only recommend their TGSP on how impressed I was. Maybe I was just more fortunate.
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
I too have used intelliarmor on my devices and been super happy with the results.

The two that broke were actually my review units on the Nexus 6, the speaker and cam borders were way too thin. One broke on delivery. The other I broke trying to take it off to clean the dust under the cam. Btw it protected the N6 as it should, even though it broke, today it doesnt have a scratch.

I couldn't get any regular tgsp to stick 100% without halo on that phone. Its had an xtremeguard skin. I also couldnt get any regular tgsp to stick on my LG G4 without halo, that has a skinomi skin on it.

At least on the Pixel we have ones shorten but still cover the screen fully.
[Google Pixel Accessories] JGoldz75:
Anyone use liquid screen protectors? I'd be interested to see how they work with the Pixel, as you just basically 'wipe' that screen protector onto the phone and it should come out perfectly aligned.
[Google Pixel Accessories] sn0warmy:
Read the thread. A few of us have reported good results with the wet apply protectors. I even posted some pictures in post #107.
[Google Pixel Accessories] subhani:
I just took my best skins ever matte protector off. The wet apply is easy and it fits seamlessly.

I just didn't sit comfortable with the idea that the resolution is affected by the matte version and also that a tgsp would have given me better knock protection.

Still waiting on those orzly to arrive with the full coverage TGSP.
[Google Pixel Accessories] lordred12345:
Check out what's just arrived! Fusion bumper and TGSP from Orzly!
[Google Pixel Accessories] lordred12345:
A quick update!! I highly recommend you to buy the glass screen from Orzly it worked perfectly. There will be a video soon and pics
[Google Pixel Accessories] WhiteBoy997:
Ay that means Ill be getting my case and oversized screen protector I accidently purchased
[Google Pixel Accessories] hari46:
I have the Skinomi Techskin wet apply screen protector on my Pixel. Easy to apply and I feel it is better than many wrongly sized TGSP. The dimensions are perfect.
[Google Pixel Accessories] lordred12345:
Nah it's not oversized ?
[Google Pixel Accessories] MiataManiac:
He accidently bought an XL SP when he owns a regular Pixel. So yeah, oversized.
[Google Pixel Accessories] WhiteBoy997:
Lol yeah. I ordered the wrong size. And shipping is a month's wait for the regular size to arrive.
[Google Pixel Accessories] sn0warmy:
Anyone else in the U.S. still waiting on their Orzly TG protector for the Pixel 5"? I ordered mine in early October and I'm seeing it has arrived for quite a few people on here and Google+. Curious if others are still waiting.
[Google Pixel Accessories] atlp99:
Still waiting. I ordered the day after the Pixel preorder. Still waiting.
[Google Pixel Accessories] :
Can you please report back if the black fully covers the white or vice verse.

I have the Really Blue, but prefer a black front. I also read a black front is better for Daydream VR.

Thanks in advance!
[Google Pixel Accessories] subhani:
Sure
[Google Pixel Accessories] Phantom Pt. II:
You can see it here on their instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BMUO-ubDxq3/

I like it apart from the fact that it's not got adhesive on the screen which is noticeable :(
[Google Pixel Accessories] catachresistant:
Is that not the black Pixel though?
[Google Pixel Accessories] Sakete:
How is the IntelliArmor protector holding up guys?
[Google Pixel Accessories] chino_487:
how so?

from their youtube video, the glass seems pretty good. however, someone did mention that due to no adhesive on the clear part, dust can get in.
[Google Pixel Accessories] ctbear:
I still have mine installed, but it is pretty terrible. Too narrow and shows fingerprints too easily. Still waiting for their updated version.
[Google Pixel Accessories] Frontier3:
https://smile.amazon.com/Google-Pro...d=1478847332&sr=8-1&keywords=orzly+pixel&th=1

Just bought that... are the Orzly products on Amazon legit, or is this gonna be a cheap knockoff?
[Google Pixel Accessories] subhani:
So sorry I keep posting images in low light conditions. Keep forgetting to do it at work. Gets dark quickly in London after work.

I took it off for a couple reasons. Even though it was a great fit and looked like a very respectable finish.

1. The LCD portion isn't clear 100%. So when applied, it looks like there's a grey display with black bezels. Reminiscent of the old OG iPhones. I want the face to be black consistently. As you find on amoled panels. And some good LCDs like those on current gen iPhones.

2. There remains a very minimum border of white that can create an illusion that it has extra thick silver sides that curve round to the front, gibing an impression of a thicker metallic surround for the face of the device. This is fine, it's just reminiscent of some very old iPhones again.

3. I've now the white face applied and it looks good. Something still bothers me as it may be that the TGSP is a bit thick so noticeable, despite the almost max coverage. It also is picking up fingerprints a liitle more than my previous intelliarmor protectors, which also had better coverage.

Lastly, it makes a strange sound when tapping, perhaps due to the fact the display cut out has no glue so may be trapped air or just hollow. And under certain lighting, it shows that grid pattern you see on some phones.

In conclusion, this is still the best coverage for the Pixel, it feels uber smooth and slick to the touch. With a slim case on like the Olixar I have, it is flush with the edges. Looks pretty good in white. If this was an Amazon review, I'd give it 4 stars.
