That's the one, no air bubble or screen distortion at all. Perfect fit and Touch response is spot on. I don't think I'll have any issues with it staying on. Hasn't been on a full day yet, so today will be normal use, then I'll know if the corners catch on anything, it's recessed pretty good, especially with a case on it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] mrjoeltan:
Let me know how it goes today! Will be picking it up tomorrow if all goes well.

Zagg tempered glass for the Pixel 2XL

Photos here

Review so far:

While it doesn't cover the edge to edge, it covers all of the screen and so far and in conjunction with a good case it covers all the good bits. No issues with proximity sensor or cutouts for speakers. Adhesive is just on the edges but there is no dot matrix (at least that I can see) and its very responsive. No applicator is included with the box because it is super simple to line up withe the curves on the display, just makes sure the display is lit up when you put it on.

Overall 4.5/5 just because there isn't adhesive everywhere, but if it falls off, Zagg will replace it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] mrjoeltan:
One thing worrying me about there not being adhesive around it all is there’s being a gap between the screen protector and the screen itself. Does it lay perfectly flat on top of the screen? As in there’s no give in the screen protector when you’re pressing on it?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] apristel:
Since the curved glass protectors seem to be a bust at this point, does anyone have a recommendation on the flat ones?

I'd be open to another curved if I knew for certain they covered without rainbowing and STUCK on properly, I just don't see that happening yet.

I had both the amFilm (curved) ones and they are complete trash.

No give at all on mine

I just installed the IQShield film protector. I usually use tempered glass, but I picked this up in the meantime until either Yootech or Intelliarmor release theirs. The IQShield was pretty easy to install and looks fine. I have no bubbles or issues after installation and it's barely noticeable that it's there.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] enyce9:
Does Best buy sell the zagg in store?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Norcalz71:
maybe missing something - is there a particular reason the curved protectors are just adhesive at the edges?

Given that I have no reason to want the curved screen, so far this is the biggest drag of the xl2 compared to my 6p. curved screen functionally doesn't add anything but apparently makes getting a quality screen protector a PITA.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
Is because the adhesive will lift up around the edges if it is full adhesive. There is a thread over on the note 8 forum that people are experimenting with liquid adhesive in combination with the edge adhesive screen protectors. Looks like they are peeling off the edge adhesive first. Will definitely be trying it once I can find a good screen protector with no black edge. Preferably no dot matrix either, though people say that the liquid adhesive pretty much covers that up.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] akenis:
Do you have the original batch or the revised edition?

Case friendly or max?

So I guess there are three versions out: Max, case friendly, and really case friendly.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] smallsmx301:
Installed the AMsheild and I had big rainbow blotches. Kept it on all day since I don't have a backup and so far they have shrunk down and are almost gone. No loss in touch at all. Just hope it stays on, but I like it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] akenis:
Note: There are currently 2 versions of the IQ Shield Pixel 2/2XL protector. The Case-Friendly version comes up to or slightly past the lit portion of the screen. It does not cover it to the edge to allow compatibility with a wide range of cases. The Max Coverage version covers up to the edge of the entire screen, leaving 0.5 mm around the edges. If you purchased the wrong version, please contact us for a replacement

Got this after initial order:

Congratulations on your IQ Shield Google Pixel 2 XL screen protector. The initial design you have purchased works but we have made some improvements to the design.

The initial design was purposely cut in all around the edges and made short to ensure compatiblity with most cases. We have redesigned the protector so that it comes out closer to the edges to reduce the gap between the protector and your case. The new design should still work with most cases as it is still "case friendly".

We went ahead and created replacements for the newly updated designs, completely free of charge. Remember, all IQ Shield products are backed by our industry leading Lifetime Warranty Program. If you have any issues installing or simply need a replacement, please do not hesitate to contact us

Funny: Read the email and looked up the tracking number:. Delivered yesterday. Same as phone.

So will compare and advise. Tried these on U11, and despite a difficult application (dust) they were nice.

Today I received an Incipio Plex Plus Edge. I'm VERY satisfied with it, as it is exactly what I was looking for. Went on easy with the included guide. Tried pressing on the very edge by the curved glass, and didn't notice any movement at all. Linking a couple of photos of it along with my Parallax case.

What are the two components that the protector is covering on top?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Proximity sensor in the middle (under the speaker) and the LED notification that is to the right.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Bogega:
Looks good. Does it have adhesive on the edges (right and left)?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dberthia:
I'm assuming so. The edges are on there pretty tight. I didn't look at it that close before putting it on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Bogega:
Could you please post a close up picture of one of the edges? If adhesive is there it should be clearly visible since there are no black borders from what I can see. Thanks

Zagg curved glass starting to have sensitivity issues. Was good yesterday. Press down in the middle and it's good for a few hour's then back the same issue. Wouldn't recommend at all.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] clothednblack:
In and out of my pocket just fine, treat this one just like all my previous phones. No lifting, doesn't catch on anything, touch sensitivity is like prior to applying the zagg. Full day use, I recommend it. I've seen another post saying they have touch issues after a day of use, but when I applied mine, I got it centered then pushed down from the middle of the screen to the top and bottom, the to the sides.

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 AM ----------

No idea, I ordered mine online.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jamiejames:
I applied the exact same way. I actually watched the video on the installation. I mean it's still usable, just have to double tap some times right in the middle. Not covering the top by the speaker kinda sucks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] clothednblack:
Didn't know there was a video lol. Not sure why it would do that, so far touch response hasn't changed foe me. Might have been warmer when I applied mine, you could always have them send another one to you, claiming that one is defective. Zagg is awesome with warranties
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jal3223:
The Whitestone Dome works well with most cases on the Note 8 and S8 plus (Only the Whitestone Dome offers full screen adhesive without the crappy matrix). It is a bit more difficult to install but I have done 2 perfectly on the first try. You just have to follow the directions, which I have learned a ton of people cannot do; hence the bad reviews of it. It comes a bit short of the cases I have tried while still 100% covering the entire display. Maybe we can get enough interest for them to make one.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ninotorpedo:
It just depends on the design of the case and the design of the TGSP. YMMV

I know someone who worked at a Verizon store and they said they've seen some that lift and some that don't.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] clothednblack:
Ordered yesterday
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ninotorpedo:
Don't like how the top is setup but if you can post up the after installation photos, that'd be great!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] clothednblack:
I will do that as soon as I get both items [emoji16]
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Whitestone Dome Glass:
Hey! Thanks for mentioning us.

Always good to know that our product is recognized and appreciated :)

Our screen protectors do not have any borders and covers the edges as well!

We recently opened a new homepage so let us know what you guys think!

Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ninotorpedo:
So...will you guys be making glass screen protectors for the Pixel lineups soon or..?

Currently, I'm only seeing support for the iPhone and Galaxy series.

EDIT: I looked at the home page and I'm interested too but you've yet to say if you'll be supporting the Pixels yet or not.

i waiting for naked from slickwraps
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] daniel06gt:
The naked slick wraps "look" like they're awesome, but I ordered one for my Pixel XL. The package came with 2 of them, and they both sucked so bad. The Back part was the only part that looks good, else the edges of the phone kept lifting and looking dirty. I have previously used their regular wraps and they work great, but this "wet install" and filmy material is just horrible.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ninotorpedo:
Is it those nasty kinds rubber material where as you squeegee the water out, it stretches the wrap?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] daniel06gt:
Exactly!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] DinarQ8:
you have to use spry to setup the skin
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ninotorpedo:
Yes, I know but I've seen one where as you squeeze out the water, it stretches the wrap. May have been a bad brand but stayed away ever since.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] daniel06gt:
Yeah, of course I know. I watched 2 or 3 different videos on how to set it up. Used the spray, let it sit for 8 hours before i applied the edges to make sure it was dry and still it just looks horrible. Did it with both wraps. Great idea, horrible product.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] DinarQ8:
for me i used before with me old device Pixel XL no issue. But now I dont know after the phone is exposed to water
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jal3223:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Bogega:
I wonder when are these going to be available...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jamiejames:
Yeah there's a couple videos by them how to install the curved glass. Pushing down in the middle is the key before setting the sides. It's not a deal breaker by any means. Not seeing any positive reviews on any screen protector as expected this early in the game. How long has yours been on? Mine was fine for 2 days.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] clothednblack:
Only put on yesterday, I will definitely post something if it starts to act up though, wouldn't want to support something if it's not worth it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] blcklab:
Anyone have the vigeer yet? They're arriving today so maybe some of you EastCoast folks already have one on
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jamiejames:
Maybe you have something with it being warm. I was inside when I put it on, maybe 65 degrees. I think I'll set it in the sun and try pushing out from the center. It's not bad enough to justify a replacement. I'm a truck driver so they would have to bring it to me in a helicopter. It does fit really nice I'll give it that. Thanks for the idea.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RoWilJr:
Had the same problem with mine...HUGE rainbow blotch dead center, adhesive was damn near non existent. It came off when I took my case off (not even on the phone a whole day) Sent them an email via Amazon and the told be they had a revised one out and sent it to me as a replacement. Got it today and so far so good (no blotches, adhesive is good)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] coolsilver:
Bought the Vigeer flat glass. Only because it was cheaper and shipped the day before my phone. I'll edit with more info later
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] blcklab:
Thanks. I bought it just to hold me over until there is one from yootech or icarez

The reviews are pretty bad but I figure it can Tide me over for a week or so
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
I ordered from them when it said it was "in stock". They charged my card but it dropped off. I emailed them and left a voicemail during after hours. They never got back to me so I called them during business hours. They picked up and agreed to cancel my order. Since it wasn't officially charged, there was no refund. However, they did offer me a 30% off coupon. When I purchased, they had a 25% off coupon.

Someone on here did say that they were offered a Incipio screen protector - https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74308374&postcount=348

IQ Shield case friendly matte, liquid install (updated version 2):
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dberthia:
That's what happened to me. Ordered the Griffin, but got sent an Incipio and a letter saying they were having supply issues and were sending the Incipio in its place. I actually think the Incipio is a superior protector, so I have no complaints.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] coolsilver:
It feels like thick plastic not much glass but it is glass. I flick it, sounds like plastic. Edge isn't rounded like it says it is. Smears fingerprints like nothing else. I did to break one to see it is indeed tempered glass. It's cut ok but the edge is over the start of the bevel. You can pry it back off just by pressing along the edge.

I don't even think the alcohol pad is even actual isopropyl alcohol.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] akenis:
Wow...good install. I have version 1 and 2 of the case friendly clear. Hope I can get mine right without dust

How do you like the matte vs clear? Think someone posted matte really dulled our already dull colors?

And what case is that? Looks like my Asgard.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
I should have waited :(

I only cancelled because I thought I was going to get my phone on time and there was no response or shipping of the glass from griffin.

I'll have my phone Monday but at least I'll have phantomskinz protectors on it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Nom Prophet:
I completely agree that it makes the screen look weird. I'm switching to their regular non matte version. Great fit though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xryptic:
Does it have adhesive throughout the middle glass or only along the edges (top, bottom and sides)?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
I ordered that before there were any reviews. Man, it had some bad reviews. I haven't gotten my phone, but am in no rush to try to put this on. Might just send it back without opening

---------- Post added at 08:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 AM ----------

The flat ones should have adhesive through the middle. The curved ones will not if they are glass. Unless they use liquid adhesive, which I have only seen on whitestone(or diy), which isn't available for our phones.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] zetsumeikuro:
Looks like Zagg finally answered my question on their website about their glass curve protector. Unfortunately it's another dot matrix protector and that's pretty disappointing for a $50 price tag :rolleyes:.

i am moving to a different city today permanently (for work)

so this thing will not arrive anyway

which was on 7 oct soit should be here on 27 oct

but no the only shipped it on 23 :eek:

what should i do know
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Contact them and tell them you want to change the shipping address because you're moving. They should be able to update it in their end
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] abogrhen:
they shipped it with no tracking :silly::silly:

so they can't change anything

I must have ordered last pack. Now it says it of stock. Cancelled my vigeers pick which was set for delivery Saturday and ordered these instead.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] resonantentropy:
I wondered the same thing.... so I asked. Here's the response I got:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] edgeicator:
You can tell if the screen protector has edge only adhesive if it has those black bars along the top and/or side because that's where they apply the adhesive. This one has it along the top, so it's definitely just an edge only adhesive, most likely with dot matrix as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] uicnren:
Just for the record, I have one for the 2XL, its junk.

Same glass as the amFilm, but the adhesive is much worse. Had dust under the glass within a few hours of installing it. Looks like it came in around the proximity and/or speaker cutouts at the top.

No touch sensitivity issues, no oil patch. Its a fingerprint attractor, it actually seems like it breeds fingerprints. I do get a slight clicking noise at times mostly around the top corners, I believe someone else complained about this also.

Also in case anyone else in reading, supposedly amFilm is sending me the second revision of theirs to replace the one I blew off earlier. Hopefully it will stick on the screen this time.

I liked the original version, right until it literally blew off the phone, hopefully this one will stay on long enough til the intelliArmors are out.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] resonantentropy:
That may be true, but it's in contradiction to what their support indicated to me.

Mr. Shield Tempered Glass Screen Protector

https://imgur.com/gallery/ywFf6

https://imgur.com/gallery/SCJXs

This isn't my first tempered glass screen protector. I've used them on my Galaxy S5, my Nexus 5X l, and my wife's Note 4 and Note 5. So I know how to install them cleanly. That being said, I don't think the edges are going to stick. There must be more rounding than they took into account. If I force the edges down then the inner part pops up. Pretty disappointing but that's kind of expected when you take a flat protector on a rounded edge phone.

Luckily I'm able to return it without any shipping charges. If anyone gets a flat tempered glass screen protector that doesn't do this, please post.

Off topic:

I would like to post embedded pics with Tapatalk but it's too large. Is that not a feature anymore or what am I doing wrong?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Yikes! The screen protector is bigger than the actual flat portion of the screen. I'm sure they will be revising this.

That's the issue I've noticed with screen protectors for phones with curved screens. These companies don't factor in the curved portion so the screen protectors tend to "hang" off the screen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
From what I can tell they're going to have to make it come up to the inner edge of the speaker grills.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] blcklab:
Dang. I'm generally protective of my phones but do worry about coins, keys etc. Might just go with a skin screen protector

I have the Incipio on my phone. It was sent from Griffin tech instead of their own. It has a dot matrix and there is an oil slick in the middle of the screen- though it wasn't as bad as the Amfilm v.1. I did notice that the adhesive covered more than the edges as I felt the top third of the glass being sticky.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] MrMeeseeks:
I got the Skinomi. It went on nice but it's a little sticky sometimes and at certain angles in bright light has a very plastic look to it. I haven't tried the IQ Shield but I think they would probably be better. I would try them but my wife is already upset with all the money I'm spending on trying to find the right case/screen protector lol.
