Nothing available that has that kind of full coverage and also doesn't create a halo around the edges from the borders not sticking.

I ordered mine over a month ago and it finally just shipped from the UK. Scheduled delivery is the Monday after thanksgiving. I'd order it and get another one to hold you over until it arrives. Once it does arrive you'll be happy you did.

Don't get your hopes up. The OnePlus 3 had the same isues with TG screen protectors not adhering properly around the edges or being created to small, leaving too much room around the borders. Once Orzly came out with this exact same protector with the black/white borders everyone jumped on it. As more months passed and more screen protectors hit the market that looked to provide the same coverage and look, it was quickly determined that all of the protectors were identical just with different brand names on them.

I'm confident that this protector is made in bulk by some unknown company and then sold to Orzly, Yootech, CaseBase etc. for them to slap their name on it and sell it as their own. Moral of the story is that if this is anything like the OnePlus 3, which I truly believe it is, the option we have now from Orzly will remain the best option we are going to get for the foreseeable future. Don't blindly waste your money on the next one that comes out because chances are, it's the exact same thing you already have.

Here are examples of the same protector created for the OnePlus 3 but sold form all sorts of different name brands:

Orzly:

ICHECKEY:

CaseBase:

Yootech:

https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Te...2&keywords=oneplus+3+tempered+glass+protector

Bongeek:

https://www.amazon.com/Protector-BO...6&keywords=oneplus+3+tempered+glass+protector

To this day they are still the best option available for the OnePlus 3 and I'm afraid this is going to remain true for the Pixel as well.

There's another one that from amFilm-- looks like the same as Orzly. Or at least pretty similar.
[Google Pixel Accessories] Jaxidian:
Just got my Orzly in and installed. Not a huge fan. The white part covers part of the visible screen (as in hiding pixels on my Pixel) all the way around. I'm definitely keeping it installed since I don't have anything better but I'm still disappointed by that.

Here it is on amazon. $6.99 right now. I'm going to try it out.

I believe we should compile a full list of concerns regarding the Orzly TGSP and write to them asking for a revision.

I personally like the fact it covers one pixel. That it feels super smooth to swipe on. That it provides full coverage.

- I don't like that it gets scratched super easy

- it applies a grey tint instead of being clear

- there's a blur effect that's noticeable under some lights. I believe this reduces clarity of the graphics

- it has a grid pattern under some lighting conditions

- there feels like there's a gap between the display and the glass, producing a hollow sound on taps

- it does feel a little thicker than it should be

The gap above, separates the primary concerns over the secondary ones.
[Google Pixel Accessories] shoey5:
I did the same thing. Wet screen protectors are the only way to go with curved glass screens if you want full coverage and don't want to deal with halo effects or incomplete screen coverage. Skinomi is one of my favorites as their cuts are usually very accurate. Only downside is they scuff up after a while and you need to replace them.

and just a little rant because I've been reading this thread and it seems everyone is crazy about Tempered Glass as if they give you more protection (which is B.S) and everyone is comparing different brands. Doesn't any one realize that all these TGSP that everyone is comparing are made from a handful of Chinese vendors and are simply purchased in bulk and rebranded, yet these rebranded resellers act like they are designing new models. You can go on AliExpress and pick them up for a few dollars. This is why there are so many cut to small, which ever Chinese plat made them, simply rushed them and they don't care. Personally I find the best screen protectors are good quality PET when you have a flat screen. Wet (not my favorite but best) when you have a curved screen.

Funny enough I just searched through the ones posted a few posts back for the One Plus 3 for keyword "pixel"

This is a Twin Pack for the Pixel from CaseBase for $7.99

Got my Inskin TGSP on Friday and installed it.

GOOD NEWS: It covers the LCD fully

BAD NEWS: Major haloing. And the oleophobic coating isn't great (smudges and fingerprints do appear though lightly) â€“ the one benefit of the ill-fitting intelliARMOR was the silky-smooth coating.

UPDATE 1

: I contacted Inskin, and they suggested taping down the TGSP edges overnight to help the glue set. I'm going to try that tonight.

UPDATE 2

: I taped it down last night. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get the tape to bend the glass down enough to look like the glue was contacting and going to hold. This morning, I removed the tape, and though it looks ever so slightly better (the halo is more consistent in it's shape), it's still 2-3 mm on all sides.

UPDATE 3

: After two consecutive nights of taping all the edges down, there was no perceivable reduction in the haloing. Inskin will be sending me a replacement, and I'll post an update then.

For anyone looking for a temporary solution until some better options come out, you can use a PlayStation Vita screen protector. I had the official Sony one lying around (regular film protector), and it covers the screen completely, but only the screen.
[Google Pixel Accessories] banciii:
The RhinoShield Screen Protector fits very badly... I knew it does not cover the whole screen glass, that would be fine. But I thought it will cover at least the screen panel itself... but not. It has almost 1 mm gap on the both sides, the edges are sharp and break the light of the screen...

#screenprotector 10/4

I regretted this purchase. Like it has came from china (directly). Which is still better because from there I don't have to pay for shipping at least... :D

Maybe I will keep the bumper and will use sometimes, but pretty sure about the dumping of the screen protector and replace it with a little bit bigger and bubble-free one. ^_^
[Google Pixel Accessories] jerflash:
I originally got a Pleson protector but it was not wide enough to cover the LCD completely. I complained to them and they said there was an updated version and they sent it to me. I can confirm that it now does cover the LCD and may be the best option out there currently

Just saw on the Pixel XL thread that intelliarmor now has an updated version on their site. I ordered it, will post images if this is any good.
[Google Pixel Accessories] fracman:
Intelliarmor. Use code intelliFriday and the 2 pack is free. Just pay shipping.

Subtotal	$12.95

Discount (intelliFriday)	-$4.27

Just a discount in my case
[Google Pixel Accessories] fracman:
Weird. Mine was $2.99 for both. Just charged shipping is all.
[Google Pixel Accessories] fracman:
Not sure what happened there. Maybe I got a glitch.
[Google Pixel Accessories] ky3bmu4:
well maybe you were their customer before and they provide different terms to newcomers and those who already ordered.

Anyway I bought yootech last week, now need to deliver it from US to Russia))
[Google Pixel Accessories] saltorio:
You sure it's a updated model? There's nothing on their page that says it's new or updated.

I really liked the feel of the intelliaGlassHD, but it was an absolutely horrible fit. And even though it didn't cover the width of the LCD, it still had a halo. They did refund me, but I'll wait on reviews before I purchase another.
[Google Pixel Accessories] Sakete:
I emailed them after I ordered and they confirmed it's an updated version. Will let you guys know if it's any good.

I'm expecting mine any day. I'll also post my findings and pics if possible
[Google Pixel Accessories] subhani:
So I've installed the Fosmon film screen protectors after the Rhinoshield bumper cracked the Orzly TGSP.

Pros:

-The film is cut to perfectly cover every mm of the display. Bezel to bezel.

-The film is obviously MUCH thinner than the TGSPs out there

-Pack of 3 costs less than most TGSPs

-The film seems to be resistant to the common micro scratches that appear on gorilla glass, TGSPs and regular film protectors. This probably because it is more similar to those wet install protectors in feel and touch. It is a much softer 'squidgy' material. Read cons below.

Cons:

-The film is a little harder to apply perfectly, perhaps because of the adhesive or that it is more akin to a wet install film, just without the water.

-Bubbles are impossible to eliminate FROM THE ONSET. They can be pushed out later. I now have none.

-The pushing out process is very tedious and often leaves permanent marks on the film, which can be a dealbreaker. This is exactly how the wet install films show marks if you were to dig your nail into the film.
[Google Pixel Accessories] ajcscan:
Just received and installed my Pleson glass screen protector for my pixel xl. Very easy to install and definitely does not cover every mm of the screen. This is not unusual as we all now know due to the slight curvature of the screen. It does however, cover the main usable areas of the screen. I am not disappointed.
[Google Pixel Accessories] itsme_4ucz:
Extremely happy with

Google Pixel Screen Protector [5.0"] [2-Pack] [Update Version],Yootech Google Pixel Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Google Pixel https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MPY1RPC/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_1q6oyb36F3P86

Fits well (covers screen only) , no halo, no display grid/dots.
[Google Pixel Accessories] TheBadBen:
This might be a silly question to ask in a screen protector thread, but is anybody rocking this without a protector? If so, how's it holding up to scratches and other wear? I've had some great protectors and some really bad ones and come to the conclusion that if I can avoid them I will.

On my Droid Turbo 2 it was a necessity and I found a good one, but if the screen of the Pixel is hard enough I'd like to go without.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel Accessories] saltorio:
I somehow etched a long wiggle line from the bottom to the top of my Pixel's screen the 3rd day after I got it, while it was still in my pocket. I was doing manual labor that day, but I always put my phone in my front pant pocket with the screen facing me. Luckily it's not visible with the screen on, and barely visible with the tempered glass (I already had on order at that point) on.

I have always used screen protectors (film on most phones, tempered glass once it became readily available).
[Google Pixel Accessories] TheBadBen:
That's pretty much the answer I was looking for... My phone goes in my front pocket facing me too.
[Google Pixel Accessories] saltorio:
From the looks of the scratch, I'd say it was likely a piece of sand or the like. It's not a deep cut, and may only be in the surface coating. But it's there, and a protector would've prevented it from becoming a permanent scar on my phone.

For the ~$15 a screen protector costs, it's well worth it.
[Google Pixel Accessories] mike86325:
I'm divided between the yootech and the updated intelliarmor.

Does anyone know if the intelliarmor fits with a diztronic case? Thank you in advance.
[Google Pixel Accessories] br125:
The main screen only has a couple expected micro scratches after a week's use. The back glass on the other hand looks terrible, especially around the edges, with a big scratch right through the camera lens.

I have another new pixel that I'm not even using until I have some protection for the back glass. Anyone heard of a company cutting PET protectors for the rear glass?
[Google Pixel Accessories] rohitbaata:
Tempered glass from Zizowireless. It has great quality that too in low price
[Google Pixel Accessories] MiataManiac:
So, I've decided to try something a little bit different from the traditional SP. I'm not as concerned with shatter protection as I am with scratches as I have the phone in an Otterbox Commuter case so the phone is pretty well protected from drops due to the rubber liner.

Still, I've always had a SP on every phone I've ever had and those SP were always Zagg InvisbleShields. I ordered an InvisibleShield Glass+ as soon as it was available, assuming I'd receive yet another exemplary product. Boy, was I disappointed. A 1+ mm gap on each side of the AMOLED display and Zagg CS basically told me tough luck when I emailed them about it. But hey, at least I had no halo right?

Since then, I've been watching this thread like a hawk, hoping for an answer to my SP woes, all to, pretty much, no avail. IntelliArmor has produced a small light at the end of this dark tunnel with the news of their Pro version having adhesive across the entire surface, unlike the Orzly edge only solution. Still I wanted to give this stuff I have a try and see what would happen.

Without further ado... this stuff is called C.A.R. Bullet Proof External Coating and Topper and it's meant for automotive applications. It's basically a wax alternative. It's meant as a clear coat protectant and sealer, much like wax, but it's far more robust. It's a ceramic/silicate compound that goes on 400 times thicker than wax (it's nearly as thick as the typical clear coat layer on a car), is much harder, and lasts much longer. It also provides far superior abrasion resistance. It should have no problem keeping the screen protected from any superficial knicks and scratches from going in and out of my pocket. It should also last for about a year before I have to reapply it again, assuming the IntelliArmor Pro is a bust and this becomes my primary SP option.

As far as what it looks like applied, just take a look at your phone without anything on it. You literally can't even tell it's there if applied correctly. The screen surface does feel much smoother though.

Anyway, I just thought that, for those that, like me, are still disappointed with the current options, you might like to know what else might work as a viable option to protect against scratches.
[Google Pixel Accessories] sn0warmy:
I got the Orzly TG protector installed. Overall, it's a nice TG protector and feels great to the touch. However, my initial impressions leave me regretting replacing my Skinomi TechSkin wet apply protector with the Orzly one.

Reasoning:

1) The Skinomi protector has better coverage. Paired with a Cimo TPU case, there is absolutely no portion of the screen that isn't covered by the screen protector and/or the case. Orzly leaves a few MM of screen uncovered between the protector and the case. It's not a lot but it's enough room that sand/dirt can easily get in there and scratch the edges of the screen.

2) As others have mentioned, the Orzly protector makes blacks on the screen look much more gray and seems to water down other colors as well. So the great colors on the screen don't "pop" nearly as much as they do without the protector. This prevents you from enjoying the better color range that AMOLED displays provide.

3) The black borders of the Orzly protector cover some of the visible screen area. It's not a lot but it does make for less usable screen real estate, which seems silly considering that the screen-to-body ratio is already low at just 69%.

3) With polarized sunglasses on, the Orzly protector actually makes the screen slightly more difficult to see. The polarization in the sunglass lenses creates this strange rainbowing/mirroring look on the screen and text is a bit harder to read. I live in a state where we get blasted with sunlight over 300 days a year so quality polarized sunglasses are a must for me and I'm wearing them just about every time I leave the house.

However, in an effort to get some better protection from drops, I decided to order the Spigen Rugged Armor case to replace my Cimo TPU case. From the reviews I've seen, the lip on the Rugged Armor case stretches further over the edges of the screen. I'm hoping that this will close the gap between the Orzly protector the case. If it does I will likely keep the Orzly protector on for a while since the TG protector should protect better than the Skinomi protector, when it comes to drops.

No offense man, but this is an extremely risky idea. Wax like that is meant for paint. Not glass with oleophobic coating. This will very likely ruin the oleophobic coating that's on your phone's screen. Plus it will probably be much more prone to showing fingerprints/smudges. It's a unique idea and it is your phone after all. But it is very risky and if you ever plan on reselling your phone I highly advise against doing what you are planning to do.
[Google Pixel Accessories] bobby janow:
Risky is putting it mildly. It's effin' nuts for a $700 device. But even if it's safe, which I also highly doubt, the rub is the line, "if applied correctly.." What if it's not? Sledgehammer?

On another note, I got the Pleson just the other day and applied it as best I could. Maybe a hair off at the top but not enough to even bother me. Looks great and now I don't really have to hold the phone like a vial of nitro, which I did for the one day before I got it.
[Google Pixel Accessories] MiataManiac:
Is there any actual scientific basis to this reasoning?

For one thing, it's not wax, though that doesn't really matter anyway as wax is one of the least harmful things to any kind of coating in the world.

The oleophobic coating is a chemical bond. It's not something that can just be wiped off. If it can't be removed by the alcohol swabs provided in every single SP kit in the world, what makes you think that something designed to be safe on paint (arguably, one of the most fragile surfaces in the world) would harm something that is chemically bonded to the glass?

This stuff isn't a solvent, or a cleaner of any kind. It's not designed to scour the glass, or anything that's on it. It's designed to be used on glass as well as paint.

About the only way this stuff may react to the coating is that it will make it much more difficult to apply and, more than likely, prevent it from staying on the display as long as intended.

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------

What? You guys have some pretty vivid imaginations.

You wipe this stuff on with a microfiber towel. If it doesn't get applied correctly that just means I didn't get it on in an even, complete coat.
[Google Pixel Accessories] sn0warmy:
What's your "scientific basis" for saying that it WON"T ruin the oleophobic coating or be harmful in another way? I understand your theory but that still doesn't mean it isn't risky.

I'm a car guy too. In fact I just spent Sunday prepping my '15 WRX for winter with clay bar/polish/wax. However, I'd never consider using any of this stuff on a phone's screen. I could very well be wrong and this could be perfectly safe. It just seems like a heck of a leap of faith (and a lot of effort), when you could just get a removable screen protector and call it a day.
[Google Pixel Accessories] MiataManiac:
Congrats. You're a car guy. I'm a certified automotive technician that is now going back to school for engineering. I've spent a bit of time learning about what's in all this stuff to know what is and isn't harmful. About the only thing I'd truly be worried about getting on the surface of my phone's display would be wheel cleaner. My scientific basis is that there isn't a single ingredient in this stuff that could be considered corrosive or harmful, even to your skin. On top of that, I've used this stuff on a phone before, without issues. I didn't keep it on for very long and it was an older phone, but it had a chatting on it as well. I don't know if it was the exact same coating as what's on the Pixel, but I'd imagine it was pretty similar.
[Google Pixel Accessories] sn0warmy:
Well you sure do know how to come off as a complete prick with a simple online discussion/disagreement. I'm sure you are a real treat to deal with on a daily basis. :rolleyes:
[Google Pixel Accessories] MiataManiac:
Sounds about right [emoji12]
[Google Pixel Accessories] mnguyen127:
Have you seen that nano coating stuff awhile back that kind of had the same effect as what you're looking for but designed specifically for phones? It was literally just a spray/rub, and it left a layer thick enough to stop micro abrasions and scratches from working on the screen. It was fairly inexpensive, but it never really took off. I remember LinusTechTips doing a review of it though where he tied his phone to his car and let it slide across the surface of the screen. It damaged the solution that was applied to the screen but not the screen itself. I'm wagering this stuff is probably similar.
[Google Pixel Accessories] MiataManiac:
I hadn't heard any was made specifically for phones, but after a quick Google search and watching a couple videos on it, I'd say it's a safe bet that you're right about it being very similar. I'd go so far as to say it may even be the exact same thing with a different name on it considering the application process is the exact same.
[Google Pixel Accessories] :
anyone have experience with the updated intelliARMOR screen protector and/or the MAX coverage version? cause I got an offer for either the updated one or the MAX one paying the difference and I can't decide

thanks in advance
[Google Pixel Accessories] stompysan:
Just thought I would hop in here and talk about mine. Got my Orzly to replace my Supershieldz, and so far I love it. Installation was absolutely flawless. I can honestly say, despite my horrible track record for screen protection "perfection", this is near perfect, first try. There are some drawbacks which have already been mentioned, but those are minor. It does change the color profile of the screen slightly, but I was able to pretty much eliminate most of it with a color profile. The dots are noticable if the screen is completely clean, but that is rare for me. My biggest complaint is the rainbowing you get when pressing on the screen. It isn't easy to see with the screen on, but it is there. Still, I gladly take those trade-offs for this protector. Also, there was a nifty stylus-pen in the package. I love freebies.

Lastly, I purchased this protector, and was NOT given this product in return for a review. This is not biased in any way.
[Google Pixel Accessories] Femmetechstic:
There's a Zizo tempered glass protector available now as well but not seeing reviews yet.
