I dont use tempered glass. To many fit issues. I have been using film (soft) screen protectors. I tried iCarez and they have a very solid product. http://www.icarez.com/icarez_productlist.php.

https://www.amazon.com/Cell-Phones-...ld-brandtextbin=iCarez&page=1&rh=n:2335752011

iCarez replaced what I had been using, Clarivue, http://www.clarivue.com/browse-by-brand-screen-protector.html

I only switched Clarivue was slow getting the first batched released.

Both are very good.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
They have been my go to as well a while back but now, I use tempered glass.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ninotorpedo:
You mind posting some photos of the fitment when they arrive?

I'll be using my post when my Slickwraps ones arrive.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] abogrhen:
ok

but the protector an my phone will probably take it's time before it arrives here

Come on [MENTION=8387780]Whitestone Dome Glass[/MENTION]

Don't let us down! You guys make the best curved screen protectors.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Do the curved tempered glass screen protectors get in the way of the case where the case ends up lifting up the screen protector or anything? To me, the curved tempered glass is best suited for people who are not installing a case and is going naked. Those with cases will need a flat TGSP that doesn't curve around the screen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
I also got a set of the IQ shield screen protectors, for Justin.

Just got this from them.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] YoungSkeezy:
Be warned!

My pixel within 3 minutes out of the box somehow got a nice curved scratch. From nowhere, just pure magic.

Get a screen protector, the wet kind makes the scratch invisible, but still don't risk it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Empty Hand:
Just put the Spigen Glas.tr Nano Liquid on my screen. Can't tell it's there. I hope this stuff really works.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jal3223:
99% sure it's just snake oil. I tried a scratch test on a broken display using a mineral mohs hardness kit and it still scratched the same as without it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Is this a different one?

https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/zagg-invisibleshield-glass-plus-pixel-2-xl/

Doesn't say curved anywhere.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Verizon got it wrong. Glass+ is for Pixel 2. Glass Curve is for 2 XL.

Just take a look at Zaggs website.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bajasur:
Just got the Verizon Dot Matrix on. It's perfect.... No issues at all and I can't see any dots. I'm happy.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
The reviews on Amazon for the AmFilm one I have waiting are not good at all. I may have to head to Verizon to get theirs.

Looks like that one barely goes over the edges, is that true?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Any issues with the touch responsiveness?

It's like the amFilm. There is a slight curve to it so that is case friendly.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Kusanagi Fire:
I also got the Verizon one yesterday and wasn't sure if I got a bad version or not. I can see extra lines on the sides where the screen begins to curve and the center seems to have a splotch. If you don't have those issues, then maybe I should go back...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Flyer66:
It sounds like it's hit or miss with these dot-matrix full screen TGSPs. The AmFilm brand TGSP sold on Amazon is currently getting horrible reviews the last couple of days from people lucky enough to get their phones shipped this week. Mostly due to poor edge adhesive and terrible screen responsiveness due to air gapping. I'm curious if the Verizon TGSP suffers from the same fate. It just may be luck of the draw on how well the adhesive keeps the glass in place and proper application.

I'm really torn now. I have 2 Pixel 2XLs coming at the end of next week and I really want to protect the screens from day 1 but not sure which product or brand to buy. Right now the film may be the best bet temporarily until either the flat TGSPs are more prevalent in stock or someone makes a better full screen one.

I may try the Verizon one because I do get a 25% discount on accessories, but I'll also have an inexpensive film on hand as a backup. I just don't trust the Nano liquid stuff that is out there.

Baja...give us an updated review of the Verizon glass after a few days of using your phone. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dutchy716:
I just put the Verizon one on my device and I have the lines too. As soon as I noticed them I came here to see if anyone else has them on theirs too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sitnlow4life:
Verizon didn't have the zagg sheild in stock for the XL model .

Best buy only has the Glass + model for $39.99

I think the Glass curve model is the one we are after for $49.99
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bajasur:
Honestly, I'm sure there are better ones out there but I was terrified I was going to shatter my device and couldn't wait any longer.

This one works good for me. Touch responsiveness is identical to what it was before. I cant see the dots at all.

It does not fit go over the side of the glass. But if you get a legit case that has good side bezel coverage you'll be golden. There is almost no way my side bezel can be hit with a raised edge case.

All in all, this tempered glass is working great and went on super easy.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Hey, that's the same one I posted about on Verizon.com !

Did you buy it? If so, is it flat or curved? I just want a flat one until something better comes out, if ever.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sitnlow4life:
No they would not take it out of the box to show me it so I didn't buy it .

I'm 99% sure it's flat based on the other model being named "curved"

The messed up part is that it isn't listed on their website so they can't look it up at all
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Okay, thanks, I'm buying one from Verizon with my discount since it looks like the AmFilm one is pure crap.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sitnlow4life:
No pricing lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
That's funny. With my "discount" it is $37.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sacchypon:
Any recommendations for a tempered glass screen protector that has adheres all around, the middle included?

Also is there any significant difference between the flat and curved screen protectors?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
The HD ones from Zagg are film NOT tempered glass. The HD film is $19.99 according to Zagg's website.

https://www.zagg.com/us/en_us/invisibleshield/google-pixel-2-xl-screen-protector/
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] uicnren:
not sure why people baggin on the amfilm, put mine on, looks fantastic, though I have not seen it in the sunlight yet.

no touch issues whatsoever.

unable to see any dot matrix, maybe when sun is out tomorrow I may.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bajasur:
After a few hours... And after it got dark... I noticed this nasty bubble in the middle of the Verizon Dot Matrix case this evening. The guy at the store installed it.

Hopefully it goes away, it's pretty nasty to look at. Can't see it when screen is on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
You can try lifting up the screen protector to try and get the bubble out but I don't think the middle has any adhesive to have a bubble. Maybe it's the halo effect that people have pointed out on screen protectors with edge adhesive
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] MRFERRARI23:
Do these aren't tempered glass screen protectors right?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bajasur:
That's what it's looking like, Halo effect
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] fade79:
Mine looks just like that. No amount of pushing on it seems to make a difference.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bajasur:
Man that is super lame!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] zathus:
I got this one on my iPhone 7. It's really good. They put the glass in a plastic frame. Works great. Hope they make one for the pixel

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] crucialcolin:
Hoping we will see a protector from Nillkin shortly. I have a tempered glass one from them on my 6p and love it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] indianajonze:
what?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] TheSt33v:
I've used Armorsuit Militaryshield screen protectors for every phone I've ever owned. They're great plastic films (applied with liquid) that come with lifetime replacements, no questions asked. You pay $3 shipping, they send you a new film. That's it. You also have to buy new application solution if you need it, but it's cheap and as long as you save your original solution, you won't need it. The Pixel XL 2 protector is listed as coming soon on their website, but I'll definitely be picking one up as soon as it goes on sale: https://www.armorsuit.com/pages/google-cell-phone
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Ashen Victor:
I've been using them since the 6P and like them a lot. You also don't need to buy another bottle of solution if you run out. It's basically water and a couple drops of dish washing liquid. Give it a quick shake and you're good to go.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
I can't do the film ones anymore, they just never feel as good, and I feel don't protect as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Cowbell_Guy:
What are you recommending?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] AanetiKalma3773:
I just stopped by Verizon and picked up the in house branded TGSP. I'm a UPS driver and we break our phones like it's our job. Falling out of the truck on a turn, falling out of our pockets while running down a driveway, etc. Since I needed something sooner than later I just went ahead and for the VZW brand. I can already tell you I'll be replacing it when more options come out. It'll work for now, but there's lines on both sides of the screen and it's lost a bit of responsiveness. Unless you absolutely have to have something now, the VZW brand isn't your best bet. The guy in store even insisted I stay away but I needed the protection.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Cowbell_Guy:
What do people think of the IQ Shield
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] rajendra82:
My amfilm dot matrix from Amazon started like that, but the rainbow area dissipated over time and is now completely gone. I think it was residual moisture that had to evaporate away.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sitnlow4life:
Was going to order the Zagg curved model this afternoon but I got sidetracked.

Now they are sold out , wtf

Anyone have theirs yet ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] clothednblack:
Mine just shipped today, pre-ordered it on the 8th. Will post pics when it gets here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jamiejames:
I don't think they started shipping until today. Mine was shipped 10 minutes ago. I'll post something first thing. Can't wait to see how disappointing a $50 screen protector can be lol. Always hope though. Temporary until intelliarmor comes through I have a feeling. [emoji41]
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xryptic:
Please review and check if there are dot matrix and if the adhesive is only on the black borders, thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Kusanagi Fire:
I have the same issue and I also had a VZW employee install it - mostly because I have pets at home and it's a pain to do it in that environment [emoji38]
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jamiejames:
Will do. I already know it has adhesive on the edges.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Bigtone224:
Zagg vs amfilm

I ordered both and both were shipped yesterday it seems like the both have I dentical specs but one is 50 compared to 15. Anyone know which is the better choice?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] uicnren:
I cant speak about the zagg, dont have one.

I do have the amfilm, and I am pleasantly surprised. It does have dot matrix, but the only time I have seen the dots is when I have been outside and sunlight is directly on the screen, that situation is rare for me, so it is of no bother for me.

It fits great, very minimal 'oil stain' only time I have seen it is when ambient display is on, and there is a reflection from a light source on the screen such as my computer screen, even then it is a small patch and is no bother at any time I use the phone. I have looked for it and cant see it under normal use.

Absolutely zero touch sensitivity issues with it, no different than when I used it without the protector on it.

Only thing that will get me to change it out, is if intelliarmor comes out with theirs.

I also orderd a supershieldz version to check out, but I doubt I will ever use it now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Bigtone224:
Just trying to see if I can justify using a 50 dollar screen protector
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] init_dot_t:
Are there any out yet that are worth the money?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Tempered glass. Non curved until they come out with a better solution.

I've got 2 for backup, just in case. Standard film type.

Hahaha

I'm looking forward to for Theirs to come out too. I did buy one of the more expensive ones from Verizon also, the Zagg flat one. At least with the discount it was 37 but we need a couple of good ones here because my wife got a pixel 2 XL also.

Same here.

Never hurts to have a back up. I put one on when I cracked one on my 6P and dropped it 2 days later in Belize and shattered that one too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] MrMeeseeks:
I ordered a pack of the Skinomi's. Can anyone tell me how they feel compared to the screen or tgsp's? Do they feel sticky or anything?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dmullens:
case-friendly?

Is the amfile protector case friendly? I'm getting my phone next week...case arrived today...don't have a screen protector yet. Wondering if the amfilm protector will work with my case (Ringke). Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
Just found a protector that appears to be the exact same as the amFilm on wish.com. They are advertised as "free, just pay shipping". Cost is $4 to Australia. They have a curved or flat versions.

http://www.wish.com/c/59e5dc5c0e2bbe0206ca5bb5

---------- Post added at 08:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

And here is the same one on Alibaba. $33.50 for 10 of them. Don't get ripped off people.

https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/3D-Curved-Full-Coverage-9H-Anti_60701116738.html
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] uicnren:
yes, works very well with cases. of course that will depend on the case, but the vast majority should work just fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Mrwirez:
Is Wish. com a scam site? I never did business with them...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
No, they're not a scam. I've bought plenty of things from them. The sellers are not as well verified as Amazon, but at least if your product never arrives, wish will ALWAYS reimburse you. Just be prepared for lengthy shipping times. Some of my products were very late and I received them 2 weeks after getting my refund.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Mrwirez:
Thank you. I'll give them a try, if I see something I like.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] chasingMango:
dbrand skin compatability

Does anyone know of a tempered glass screen protector that is exactly the size and shape of the display portion of the screen ONLY? This would be perfect for dropping into a skinned phone. The front skin is cut perfectly around the display, so I am worried if I put the skin over a screen protector that goes beyond the display area, it won't look good. Plus, it is unnecessary to protect the portion of the screen with a protector which will be covered by the skin anyway.

This is the skin I'm currently thinking of ordering.

[IMG="Pixel 2 XL dbrand skin"]https://i.imgur.com/uOdH47V.png[/IMG]

*edit*

This is an example of what I'm taking about - the perfect screen protector for me would cover the green area only.

[IMG="Perfect screen protector size"]https://i.imgur.com/6FNiMPvl.png[/IMG]
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
I was just looking at Google's "made for Google" page and a new company showed up. They're called Panzer Glass

https://panzerglass.com/made-for-google/

I'll add them to the list.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
I saw that too but couldn't actually find their products anywhere. Anyone familiar with them?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Anaelith:
It's OK. Not like glass but also doesn't have the problems of glass. It doesn't go to the edge of the glass but covers the flat area plus a little. I feel OK now since I have a bulky case with a raised edge, plus I also got the email that they will be replacing it with a more generous cut... I do have a definite gap between the screen protector edge and the case edge right now. The cutouts line up and are the right shapes and sizes. Installation, etc., was the usual, wet install that took a while to set. I had a slight rim that didn't want to stick right away, but it did stick within a few hours as I used the phone and let any extra dampness go away. Visibility, etc., is same as always for rubbery type protectors.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Bgloriani:
I had looked at their website and saw they are based out of Denmark - and only pointed you to their Facebook page for more information. I posted on their page asking if they have any retailers in the U.S. that carry their products and have yet to receive a response (this was 2.5 days ago now).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] tiernan22:
On Oct 9th, Intelliarmor posted that their design would be ready in 4-5 weeks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Cheetohz:
Slickwraps skins come with a tempered glass screen protector
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] benhaube1:
Me too. I've got one on my OG Pixel. It feels just like the gorilla Glass it's covering, and it repels oils very well. Only downside is it gets microscratches easily.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] chasingMango:
I see no mention of that on slickwraps website - could you provide a link?

Also, I heard that dbrand skins are slightly thicker, which offers a bit more protection and also hides ridges better. What do you think?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
I believe the promo is over. It was either listed at the top or in a banner image
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] eleciv:
I got mine in yesterday and it went on smooth and clean but after it dried a couple hours it formed a ton of small bubbles. Feels ok, a little sticky but not horrible. Put another one on this morning to see if it would do any better but same results. After it dries it bubbles for me
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] MrMeeseeks:
That is disappointing. I want to find something but it seems that there are no good options, either tempered glass or film. At least they weren't too expensive.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] eleciv:
Yeah I was hesitant to get these but lack of options and price figured something is better than nothing for now. Hopefully intelliarmor gets there pro out soon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Cowbell_Guy:
So what is everyone's favorite tempered glass so far?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] nbaj2k:
Just FYI, I contacted IntelliArmor and below is their response.

"Yes, we are working on Pixel 2 glass now.* Not 100% sure if the initial release will be regular or dot matrix, it depends on how our testing goes."

I'm assuming they will be doing the XL as well. I'll just keep this amFilm glass in the meantime (that I really don't like with the dot matrix and rainbow effect, along with a huge spot in the center) until people find other that works well.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dutchy716:
The Verizon tempered glass screen protector I bought already has a crack in it. I didn't even drop the phone or anything.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] uicnren:
amfilm has been fantastic for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] arvonn:
I had the amfilm... It looked good, went on easy...but it messed up the touch sensitivity.. oops ..

So I had to take it off, yeah.. I prefer tempered glass... But it needs to have adhesive all over, not just on the edges, otherwise the air pocket will mess up the touch screen sensitivity.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Solar257:
It might still be going on. Take a look at their Pixel 2 XL specific page. I still see the banner tonight. Also I received a shipping confirmation from them on Saturday. I chose a custom arrangement and hopefully it comes with a screen protector. I'll report back when it finally arrives (seems like I'll have all my accessories before my 2 XL comes).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sitnlow4life:
Anyone get the power support glass protector ?

Says it releases Oct 27th
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] TBarb169:
Me too!

Spigen GLAS.tr Nano Liquid

Anyone have any experience with this spigen liquid screen protector, or other similar liquid screen protectors?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dutchy716:
Someone was talking about it earlier in this thread. They said they had good experiences with them.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Wintergon:
I have the matte version. Installed and fit great, touch seemed good but the color distortion was horrible. I gave it a fair shake by keeping on the weekend but I ended up taking it off.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Cowbell_Guy:
The amFilm got horrible reviews on Amazon... You guys think it's good though?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] nbaj2k:
I'm not a fan, huge rainbow spot in the middle, touch sensitivity seems to be slightly off sometimes probably due to the dot matrix. Hoping someone finds a better one I can switch to.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] uicnren:
it's been fantastic for me so far, no sensitivity issues. does have a very small oil slick, but only visible when laying on my desk, with the screen off and there is a light source reflecting on the screen
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] MrMeeseeks:
Anyone got the zagg yet? I will most likely be getting mine tomorrow or Wednesday.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] corywf:
Same thing happened with mine. I took it off after 5 minutes and asked for a refund.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Bgloriani:
Definitely update with photos and initial impression once you get the Zagg. I read on their website that it has adhesive all of the way around, versus just the top and bottom on the amFilm.

I have the amFilm on hand and am expecting my Pixel 2 XL to be delivered Wednesday. Plenty of time to try and switch out at the last minute...:rolleyes:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dondochaka:
Does anyone have a link for the Spigen protector?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Still haven't heard a response from Griffin about the tempered screen protectors that I ordered that was in stock when I placed my order and is now "coming soon". For the time being, I ordered IQ Shield (case friendly) version to temporarily protect our Pixel 2 XLs
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Good news, my Supershield got delivered, so I'll be able to get pictures and answer questions on it tonight.

Still no phone though, supposed to ship today...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] DudeVee:
I ordered the Skinomi screen protectors to get me by until a good tempered glass screen becomes available. I have no complaints with it. It went on smooth with no bubbles or dust specks after drying. It's not sticky, actually pretty smooth, but definitely not as good/smooth as glass.

I followed the directions from their installation videos at http://www.skinomi.com/sktein.html. I also installed it right before bed, and left it to dry/cure overnight.

Perhaps they have some quality control issues.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Cheetohz:
I just got my slick wraps, was expecting a glass screen protector. The package even says includes hd screen protector. Yet it didn't show up. That's the main reason I chose slickwraps. Did you happen to get one with yours?
