I can't get the code to work. Did it work for you?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
Yes it worked for me. Paid no shipping. It was a code I found on a Reddit for note 8 when they we're looking for testers, but it worked for me. I've emailed them again to ask if there are any new codes.

Edit: you're right, they've disabled the code. Maybe me using it triggered them to disable it, since it was an old code. At least I got to use it anyway. [emoji13]
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] thacounty:
Sounds good. Let us know if you end up with another!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
Just got an email back, with a little sarcastic " I see you found a discount code. ;p , we will be shipping out tomorrow."

I've asked for another code, as there are many people that want to order.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] valkarian:
Meanwhile, since I am located in Singapore and have access to the store directly, I went down to check it out and get it applied to my phone. I will post a mini review tomorrow, in order to give the phone time to cure. Look forward to it. For now though, I kind of like it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Feemy:
I just ordered these:

Forefront Cases® Google Nexus Pixel 2 XL [HIGH DEFINITION HD CLARITY] Tempered Glass 9H Hardness Screen Protector Guard Cover Film [ULTRA THIN only 0.3mm] - PACK OF 3 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B078BLWS51/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_dzKqAb7XY63ED

Hopefully these are a lot better than the Olixar ones I bought initially, which didn't curve round the edges properly and were definitely not case friendly! They lifted off from the edge when a case was put on. See link below:

https://www.mobilefun.co.uk/olixar-google-pixel-2-xl-screen-protector-2-in-1-pack-65376

I don't care if the edges aren't protected. I just want the main area of the screen to be covered so the when I use my case I have no issues.

I can't believe there isn't a single company out there that can produce a proper case friendly screen protector (glass or plastic). Surely they know that a lot of people use a case to protect their expensive phone. So make a SP that can be used with one!!

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

It is a wet type and it's horrible. Loads of bubbles and doesn't stick properly round the edges. It's also not case friendly!

Could you provide a link?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] djsat03:
That discount code for free shipping doesn't work.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] evanwier:
Would be nice to get a free shipping code on the InvisShield
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] valkarian:
How much does the shipping cost to the states, Europe and beyond?

Meanwhile I've been in contact with the store selling Invisshield regarding some installation issues and I must say that they take alot of time to explain and discuss things.

Great customer service thus far, and will update the condition tomorrow morning (gmt+8).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Haha so sorry don't mean to be sarcastic. Perhaps the statement got misread somewhere. As that discount code was for a quota of 30 people, it was used up in a snap. We do apologize on that.

Let us see what we can do to get a promotion out so that our users can enjoy a good deal yeah?

Apologies once again if that statement came across as being sarcastic. Was just happy you found the shipping code we posted in Reddit when we saw your order.

---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

To clarify this video since I am the one to take it, the installation process is slightly more difficult than a Samsung Note 8 or S8 installation due to the slightly weird curve of the Pixel 2 XL. However, you have to align it as much as you can so that the gaps at the edges are minimized and after that, if there are any gaps remaining, you will have to patch up the sides as seen in the video.

*Regretted not taking that portion on a Google Pixel 2 XL that day*

The patching process is relatively easy with a little loca on a thin card and letting it flow into the sides before curing again for 2 mins.

Anyone wanna try this lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] LLStarks:
I'm tempted. Looks like they'll beat IntelliArmor to the punch. It'll be interesting to see how Hero overcame concerns of edge lifting and whiteness. They are specifically advertising that there will be no white edges.

The price looks fair, but shipping from China in a month is meh.

I'm really torn at the moment. I should just use a gift card on the Whitestone. The Singaporean alternative looks compelling in its own right, but the need for side touchups and lack of a jig are turnoffs.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
It's good to have a representative here in the forums.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] BalcoJ:
New to the forum and new to the Pixel 2 XL. Bought and returned a Note 8 and haven't looked back Anyways, watching my brother buy 2 packs of flat, viewable area only, no Loca needed, full adhesive protectors for his iPhone 7 plus for $6.99 makes me wanna punch myself in the face. If this is basically what Whitestone is gonna put out, why can't this be done without the whole "process" involved?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sflambda:
Where are people buying the Whitestone screen protector from? Amazon? I'm trying to read some reviews on it since it seems most of the glass screen protectors aren't very good. I just picked up my Pixel 2 XL today. It will replace my Galaxy S7 Edge. Although I'm also thinking of just using the phone without a protector and getting a case only...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Just do that and call it a day. You can get multiple cases for the prices these screen protectors are asking for.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] aznriceballman:

Not yet.

Did you buy the impact protection plastic one from rhinoshield or the tempered one??
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] erojas388:
The plastic one. After using it for over a week now I've noticed that it doesn't do too well against finger prints and smudges. I find myself cleaning it more often than not.

Delivery date up to the middle of February. Intelliarmor will probably be out by then. Maybe I'll send them a email and find out. ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] reyjr561:
It's been months since this phone was released. I don't understand why a good tempered glass screen protector, at an affordable price, has not been made. To spend $45 on the only good screen protector available is ridiculous. Hopefully something pops up soon. Anyone have any updates?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] evanwier:
You can spend $45 but it still won't be good. Right now there just is still absolutely zero full coverage, full adhesive tempered glass screen protectors. If only whitestone bothered to make theirs like the Note 8
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Schroeder09:
The intelliARMOR I have has lifted slightly in the corners and is a dotnstrix variant. I seem to have bad touch responsive on the space bar of the keyboard- bad place to have it in. I'm still trying it out. I don't see this working though. I have had it on since Saturday and will continue giving updates. I'm gonna give it a fair shot. It just may be coming up a bit since I have the OtterBox Defender. If I didn't have a case, or maybe I just need a different case, this woul be fine. It doesn't seem terrible. I think the main issue is the case.

If anyone is going caseless out there I'd look into the intellishield.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] valkarian:
Oho! How was the shipping for you? I can see the otterbox giving many "edge" protectors a headache, but do share a picture or two so both buyers and manufacturer can benefit from learning!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Decree:
I get that beggars can't be choosers, but good lord that screen protector is THICK.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Schroeder09:
First off I misspoke. I have the intelliARMOR. shipping took forever BUT it was because the thing was on preorder. They are probably shipping quickly now. Here are some pics. The first couple are dirty. I tried as hard as I could to get the dot matrix to show and I couldn't. you can see how the cover is touching the OtterBox in the corners. If the phone would stay perfectly center this protector could work with about .25mm on all sides between the case. However, I have noticed that these phones actually move a little bit in the cases. The case flexes some too,but the phone will actually slide around in the case some from normal use.

ps- you may notice from reflections that the pictures were taken with an iphone. Don't crucify me. It's a work phone. Lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] valkarian:
Is it really?! Thickness feels in the range of most of the screen protectors I've had in the past, but you might be right xD

I see!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Decree:
Yeah, I guess I'm Used to the zagg glass, but on my. Phones I've used the pleson glass from Amazon and just looking at the pictures, around the camera seems almost x2 as thick. Maybe Wrong. Need measurements haha
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] valkarian:
After trying my best to account for error on this rudimentary caliper, with an error of 0.1 mm, and a reading of 0.7 mm, it comes in about 0.6 mm on my readings. How does that weigh in?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Decree:
Well, I'm not entirely sure if this is measuring on the edge or the thickest spot in the screen protector, but ( see attached)

This was the one I bought for my 6p

*Edit*

Looked up the one for my significant others iPhone 7+ and it also says .3mm
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] evanwier:
The only reason I haven't bought the SGFresh/InvisShield protector is the shipping costs to Canada - it's going to cost me over $60CDN for it and you don't get any wipes, any frame, any extra LOCA. The whitestone costs the same, but you get way more in the package. I wish they would have a shipping promo to Canada or include some extra stuff - paying $60 and if I mess it up I have to buy again is a lot of money.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] valkarian:
I feel for you! (Living in singapore, everything ships here from the states with a next to insane shipping price too! can't buy stuff off newegg without ALWAYS looking at shipping. hope that changes soon with Amazon moving in =D)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] BalcoJ:
you can add the Panycase from Amazon to the "flat" list and also to the "don't waste your time with this sh*t" list. This is getting annoying and making me miss my V20 more each day. You can make it so i can fight a storm trooper on my phone but you can't develop a glass screen protector? Laughable.

And what Whitestone has done is nothing more noteworthy than the 2 packs that cost 5 bucks on Amazon for just about any other phone, yet they wanna hijack consumers with that ridiculous asking price. Trying an IQ Shield and if I don't like the feel, then I'll go naked...or even try a liquid screen protector before I give my money to Whitestone for what seems to be an average at best product.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] valkarian:
Several Redditers raised certain issues that i'd like to share here too!

[IMG="Camera Hole"]https://i.imgur.com/DXvSNnY.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="Caliper Measurement!"]https://i.imgur.com/nQ8kOFZ.jpg[/IMG]

Taken from a Nexus 6p, you can see that the hole appears quite deep! There's also a line to show where the protector stops and where the screen itself actually starts! Using a pair of calipers and measuring the depth after accounting for error, the thickness measures at 0.6 mm, after accounting for a 0.7 mm reading with a 0.1 mm error when fully closed. One comment claims that other protectors weigh in at about half that thickness, so do take note of this aspect of the protector when considering your purchase! In my opinion, when used with a case, it creates a nice smooth surface that extends from the edge of the case and over the whole screen and is rather pleasant!

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
Looks ok, but it's definitely been installed crooked. There's much more protector on the right than the left. Looks to about the same cut as the amFilm, which I was happy with until it fell off.

=D THat's great to hear!

Sorry if it's been discussed but how is the Rhinoshield glass protector. Saw a video of someone unboxing it today but no review. Any ideas? Just another crappy edge adhesive?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] valkarian:
There's been an update on the InvisShield True Fit protector! When I went to the local store to have them look at the protector, which was lifting at the right corner due to what I assumed was due to the misalignment, they advised me that this was a known issue and proceeded to refund me the whole amount. They also mentioned that they have temporarily stopped making the protector available at their store! I will update more with the LOCA lifting as time goes on! For now, take note!

EDIT: After talking to a representative, they confirmed that they recent received a batch of protectors that appear to be more curved than normal, and hence caused additional problems like bubbles and lifting around the edges. As such, they have temporarily paused sales for the item, and are looking to replace the batch by the coming week. As for online sales orders, shipped orders are assured to have been shipped with the same design as my review, and not the defective design, so online buyers can breathe easy. I find such decisive and swift actions good for a company to ensure their product quality and provide wuality assurance to buyers that their design is consistent and capable.

There description clearly compares it to the edge adhesive ones. I ordered one. No risk with amazons return policy.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] AndreaCristiano:
Honestly I had to stop using the invisible shield. I had it installed professionally twice and one myself but something is wrong with the manufacturing as it fell off multiple times. I ended up ordering the one from the Google store. Tempered glass and self installed and it's on there great and fits really nice with my Spigen tough armour
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] evanwier:
When you say "Invisible Shield" do you mean the SGFresh LOCA InvisShield here? https://www.sgfreshidea.com/invissh...adhesive-premium-hd-clear-tempered-glass.html

Do you have a link to the google store page? From my understanding they do not sell a Google Pixel 2 XL one directly but maybe that has changed?

InvisShield True Fit Full Adhesive Tempered Glass for Google Pixel 2 XL - LOCA Based
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sc954rr:
Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] :
Completely agree. The normal tempered glass screen protectors that you can get for $0.99 on eBay are the best -- the ones that are flat and don't cover the edges (which honestly is stupid for people to want; why would you want your protector to cover anything more than the viewable display itself, when you very well know that anything more will create issues for cases? Not to mention that curved protectors make touch worse). Their only problem is that they don't go properly out to the sides, which means they don't cover the entire display -- mostly a result of the manufacturer just making an estimated guess of how the phone display looks. But these protectors have zero dot matrix and don't make the screen look darker and greyer, and are pretty good. For a phone like the Pixel 2 5", which has large bezels on the side, they fit almost perfectly from my experience.

I don't understand why no one is making a flat protector like this for the Pixel 2 XL that covers the side bezels properly. But that goes for all other phones as well (in which I've had that problem). It's not that hard to do! There's no way in hell I'll pay $50 for solutions by Whitestone and others...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
The curve of this glass starts inside of the edge of the display. Which means that any flat protector that covers just the flat part of the glass is going to be cut narrow and will not cover all of the viewable display. Which looks terrible & makes touching the very edge of the display impossible.

Any flat protector that is cut wide enough to cover all of the actual display will have edges that don't stick, causing a dust magnet Halo around the entire glass. They do make protectors like this, if that's what you want. Just look through the thread & find all the ones people complained about.

Whitestone & InvisShield may be expensive, but at least they cover more than 'just' the viewable display, they stick down around the edges, don't have a dot matrix & they stay on until you're ready to take it off. Once you've bought one kit from SGfresh, you'll have the uv light and an extra tube of Loca, so next time you only have to by the glass. It would be nice if Whitestone did the same, but, it is what it is.

I spent $1500 aud for this phone. I won't settle for second best when it comes to a screen protector.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] nomisunrider:
Is there one like this? Having trouble finding one. Would like to use it with spigen rugged armor case.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
There is but the sides will have a white stir of air bubbles and at the top corner there maybe a round air bubble due to the curvature of the Pixel 2 xl

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

It's actually quite difficult to have a flat tempered glass that will match the curvature of the display. Quite ugly when you paste it on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sc954rr:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] BigPimpin:
And honestly, we pay that much for these phones we shouldn't need a screen protector. Should already be protected. The cost of these phones we shouldn't need screen protectors or protective cases. That's the main jump in improvements that we need.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] TheSleezkIng:
I been using the AmFilm one, stays on just fine, Dot matrix is only noticable with the screen off and one major thing i like about it which is really the most important thing, i fell with the phone in my hand and it hard the ground hard face down but instead of the tempered glass cracking, it dispersed the impact so instead of having a big ol crack it spreads it out so that it just looks like the screen has little specs of dust all over when it's off which i thought was pretty cool
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
Be careful. If there is actually dust under there, it will permanently scratch your screen. Some minor dust got in through the proximity sensor cutout on my amFilm, now my screen is covered in permanent dots.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
I agree. Since it is a mobile device, it should be better protected. I'm sure technology will eventually lead us to unbreakable, unscratchable glass, but until then, we just keep paying more for internal components.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] GoogleFan:
I tried the newest pleson dry apply tpu screen protector. It was a two pack. Despite mostly 5 star reviews and claims of it being perfect and bubble free I had bubbles after bith applications that I could not remove and I'm pretty good at applying bubble free on my phones. Even gave it a day for each. Bubbles remained.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] valkarian:
Also check in on my review at this post for a detailed post-install review!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Schroeder09:
Consensus seems that the WSD is a joke, but it's the best we have. It actually is fully functional too. That being said, should I ditch the intellishield intelliARMOR? The dot matrix and rainbow stuff is only noticeable when the screen is off, so I don't see that as an issue at all. The BIG issue I can NOT live with much longer is how the touch quality has been impaired. Of course it seems worst over the keyboard- right where I need it. particularly over the spacebar. I am using the OtterBox defender and the intelliarmor is simply NOT compatible with the defender. All the corners are lifted. I've only had the protector on a couple weeks so it isn't really causing any issues other than I hear the protector stick back down when my fingers land in the corners. Starting to consider just getting this or going back the iqshield. I'm not comfortable with that latter option because I'm so hard of stuff though.

Get the WSD or pass?
