Depending on how many Amazon warehouses actually stock it, and whether they maintain adequate stock levels, this could be a game changer. Looks like they're currently predicting delivery on the 24th...once it's actually in stock, I'd think a Prime delivered item would only take a day or two. I know that would make a big difference for me. Much more prone to pull the trigger on something I can have in hand within a day or two, instead of having to wait 2 or 3 weeks... I'm currently waiting for delivery of an InvisShield, and will hopefully see that this week (shipped on the 8th from Singapore to my location in NJ). If that works out well the WSD is a moot point for me. If not, I'll exercise that new Prime WSD offer on the 19th...

Can anymore recommend a tempered glass screen protector that covers the curved edges and will not come off while using as phone case. I don't mind spending a little bit more but just want to make sure it doesn't affect any sensor and sticks to the screen
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] JUNGIII:
Has anyone used a good privacy screen protector for their 2XL yet?

Been looking and searched different forums for some but can't seem to find any.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] evanwier:
That wasn't fulfilled by amazon via prime.

amFilm Dot Matrix purchased, survived one outdoor drop. protector cracked and bounced off phone upon hitting the pavement. ordered replacement from amazon.

now looking at TGlass with LOCA solution... will wait more feedback from community.

Searched the thread, didn't see any mention of the "Amander" brand. Reviews are slim, perhaps it's fairly new product. It makes mention of some "adhesive coating" & "magnetic absorption" but I wonder if that's all garbage buzz words.

For this phone the Whitestone full cover is the only way to go. I've had one for 2 weeks and love it.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jamiejames:
Feel the same way. Probably the best screen protector I've ever had. Not sure what the coating is but it's resistance to fingerprints is like no other. Feels like the actual screen. Worth every penny. Good.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] milestone2mod:
I'm waiting for a non-case friendly version. I'm using the bellroy leather case, which has very narrow sides that don't overlap the screen. With virtually all screen protectors on the market, there's a gap between the edge of the TGSP and the phone's edge, which makes dust settle in and scratch the screen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
There most likely won't be any protectors that go edge to edge. Whitestone decided to only cover a tiny bit more than the viewable display. SGFreshidea went a little further & covered some of the curve. But I'm pretty sure that's as far as it will go.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kaped31:
Got the intelliarmor 3D protector a few days back. Like most people, it popped out in a day after the phone fell a small distance. I cleaned it up and applied it again since I don't have another replacement. Couldn't get all the dust out. I've heard people say their Pixel 2 XL have got scratches because of dust. What do you guys think looking at the pics? Should I get rid of the screen protector and risk using it naked? I can get a replacement only in 2 weeks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Personally if it is not affecting sensitivity, it should be fine. If you want, you can try removing the tempered glass and using a scotch tape, tape off any dust in the middle.

But I don't think the dust inside will cause any micro scratches as there is no movements up down left right between the glass and the display.

The hero shield tempered glass is back in stock on Amazon. They have a seller that ships them from California instead of China now, so it seems like they will have faster shipping periods. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B07944XBR1/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new

Hello there, i'm thinking about ordering the Whitestone TGSP. Did it work out for you and the Spigen case? I have the same case and wondering if the case causes the glass to pop up. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jamiejames:
I have the rugged armor and the clear case whatever it's called. There's a little gap with both so no chance of it lifting.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] TheSleezkIng:
Ordered a true fit from SGFresh we'll see how this goes once i get this one
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
You won't be dissapointed. I installed mine last night & it's good to have a protector that actually looks & feels like a protector. It's an identical cut to the amFilm, except no black borders & it's stuck to the screen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] TheSleezkIng:
Well that's good to know, hopefully i don't **** it up lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
We'll, you'll have a few chances at getting it right. My package came with 2 glass & 3 loca. I didn't find it that difficult. Just be gentle & take your time. Watch the install video a few times & the troubleshooting video too. I had bubbles in the bottom corners that I had to lift and resettle, but in the end it looks awesome.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sc954rr:
Best advice is watch video a few times before install and take your time don't rush it. I messed.up first time but second time went smooth. You will love this protector once it is on.

There were couple of reviews here. Search.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] grokus:
I just put on the rhino shield this morning. It seems like a great compromise. It's not edge to edge since it doesn't attempt to cover the curve part of the screen. Touch sensitivity and clarity both seem great. The edges aren't sometimes I notice in practice. I'm very happy with it so far.

From what I've read this looks to be a great solution if you don't want to go the Whitestone route.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jrbxx7:
I bought one. Didnt fit the shape correctly so the whole side wouldn't adhere.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
I did. It was very hard to install, and because the glass covers the proximity sensor, the sensor doesn't work. Black screen on phone calls, can't use the number pad.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bigant262:
Does it have the dot matrix?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Schroeder09:
I installed my Whitestone dome glass today. Not sure why everyone says it's complicated. There are multiple YouTube videos to illustrate the process, and the included instructions are more than adequate. I would say it's tedious, but difficult or intimidating? No. it took me about 35 mins to prep and complete the install. I am using the OtterBox defender. The case is going to work fine with the protector. It has about 1.5mm of clearance with the case all the way around the edge of the screen protector. Even when the case flexes to it's max it can't hit the edge of the screen protector. The thing feels awesome to the touch. It is the first "smudge resistant" TGSP that actually is smudge resistant. The pics show the protector after being used all day. It's not bad at all. Amazing. I wonder how it works.

If you use a useless case that only protect the edge of the phone and the back, then no,this protector doesn't wrap around the edge and may leave you desiring more. The OtterBox defender is a beefy case that protrudes up over the front of the phone. This TGSP works perfect with it. There is a 1.5mm edge around the phone that is unprotected, but this is needed so the case can flex. I was skeptical that it WASNT round and seemed like a rip off since they supposedly did such a nice job on the curved note 8 dome, but I have been made a believer today. I would definitely be getting their note 8 TGSP for my wife, but it has been confirmed all over the place that the dome doesn't work with the note 8 and OtterBox defender.

here are some pics. They make it look like the TGSP is close to the defender in some places but it isn't. As I stated twice above, there is a 1.5mm gap between the protector and the case ALL the way around (thanks to the jig). I didn't clean the screen before pics so you could see a day of smudging!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jamiejames:
I stabbed mine yesterday with a pair of scissors. Even with a led flashlight I Just can't see any marks. Not sure what this coating is but it's amazing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ilal2ielli:
The pictures you've attached are not of a Whitestone for the Pixel 2 XL. They look like pictures of any edge adhesive type out there.

Unless you ordered the SGFreshidea InvisShield protector, as theirs does look like the other edge adhesive types in shape.

Edit: After further review, it looks like your first two pictures are of the Whitestone and you might have attached pictures of your previous protector after.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Schroeder09:
Not sure what just happened there. Somehow pics of my intelliarmor got mixed in. It didn’t work with my case and popped off after a drop. I just fixed the pics and they’re all of the WSD now. I hope they help someone else who may be looking for a protector to compliment the defender. I don’t think any that wrap over the curved edges will ever work with the defender, so if you have the defender get this WSD TGSP. You won’t be disappointed. Trust an ex-skeptic.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] grokus:
No dot matrix. It's full adhesive glass screen protector, it just stops well short of the edges because it doesn't try to cover the curved part of the screen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jonstrong:
Looks like a great fit with the case.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] plokm:
That's a big case...looks bullet proof
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bigant262:
Do you have any pictures?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Feemy:
It seems like the Whitestone Dome is the best option out there at the moment. I'm using a case and full screen protectors that cover the edges are useless. I don't ming it covering just the flat portion.

In the UK there seems to be a lot less choice than in the US.

I'm currently using the Forefront Cases tempered glass one and it has that horrible halo effect around the edges and it doesn't cover the full flat portion of the screen. There is still 1mm gap on the sides. The height seems fine though. It's frustrating because it's actually clear, visibility is great without any rainbow effect.

If anyone in the UK has a case friendly screen protector that covers the entire flat portion of the screen, please let me know. I don't mind if it's plastic or glass.

It just blows my mind that only one company has really nailed it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kaped31:
This is the impact protection and not the tempered glass, correct?

Do you have any pics btw?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] rohit25:
You probably won't like it... There is like a very small part of the display that isn't covered... Go-to their site to check the same.. they are pretty honest in picture representation as well
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] grokus:
You're right. It's not actually glass but to be honest it feels pretty close with the only difference being that it is a hair less smooth when sliding your screen across the device, but it's not like a plastic film that has give to it when you tap. I'm quite happy with it.

Think of it as in between tempered glass and plastic films but closer in feel to the glass than the plastic.

Like I said, it's not edge I edge. The sides are not complete covered because it stops before the curved part of the screen, but that's exactly what some people on here have been asking for. Only the flat portion for the screen is covered.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] I7210I:
quit high price as i see..

and yes i know the screen cost more[emoji2],

but must be some solution
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
This & Whitestone are the only decent solution.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] I7210I:
by the way, the prices for the curved protectors of the s8 at the end go flatly or stayed high?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] itsmejson:
Sorry I just saw your post. I do not have any issues with the case causing the glass to pop up. Since the glass isn't actually curved at the edges there is space between the edge of the glass and the screen protector. Only downside is that's where the dust likes to collect.

If you would like pictures let me know and I can take a few for you. To help your decision .
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] thacounty:
Just grab the Invisshield. This is the best I've used on the 2 XL so far by a large margin:

Hero Shield Full Adhesive Tempered Glass

**Sorry no Pictures yet since I dont have another phone to take them right now.

This is the only FULL ADHESIVE glass that does not require LOCA, and I just received it today after they took it off the market to improve the installation video (I think that is all they did?). I was a little weary after many people had issue with it, but I felt it was just user error, and if not, that I would get a refund if it was crap. Well I was right about the user error. How people cant follow directions then claim the product is crap is hard to understand, but anyway.

I installed it just like the video showed and it went on beautifully. The heat from the hair dryer is likely to just soften the adhesive when you need to lift up the edges to squeegee out the bubbles out. That was the "hardest" part of the instalation, but in my opinion it was not hard at all..

The Glass is smooth, but the Oleophobic coating could be a bit better, that being said it is still much better than the IQShield full protector I had before. Since the glass is full adhesive there is no "looking through a window" effect when viewing your screen, you can see it great from all angles since there isnt a large air gap affecting the displays clarity. The glass also covers all the sensor cut outs, but I have no issues with the ambient light sensor or proximity sensor when making calls, and the front facing camera's quality does not seem to be effected at all. This is a plus in my book since there are no dust traps like other protectors.

Only issue I have, that hopefully they can address, is that it is not really case friendly. I have the X-Level slim TPU cases which seem to interfere with the corners of the glass and lift it since the case wraps and hugs the display glass. It is worse with the Ringke Bevel since it wraps around the edges as well, and is thicker and stiffer. Its safe to say that any case that wraps around and hugs the display glass will likely interfere and lift the protector. Luckily I have a slim clear TPU from china that does not hug the display glass, so I will use that for now since I really like the protector.

I will contact them and see if they are or can work on a revision that shaves down the perimeter of the glass by a few mm or so, that will allow it to be really case friendly.

All in all I think it is solid for the price! Just follow the install video and be careful when lifting the edges and where to apply pressure with squeegee and you'll get the same results.

They replied and said just said they are going to improve it, but who knows when. I'll stick with it for now with the clear cheap TPU case that fits until then!

---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

No issues what so ever. Made a call and the screen stayed on until I covered the sensor, tested a few times to be sure.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
If your glass covers the front camera, you must have a different revision to the one I got. Mine had a cutout for the camera, but not the sensor.

I aligned mine perfectly, and only had one bubble on the edge that I couldn't remove, but my proximity sensor didn't work at all. They refunded me.

I've currently got the InvisShield installed & it's awesome. And to me, it was easier to install than the HeroShield.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Nocturnal86:
I guess so since it's full glass everywhere, and to me the HeroShield was simple to install, I cant imagine anything with liquid to be easier than something with adhesive already on it. Maybe the new revised model improved that since there were no Bubbles what so ever at the end, and the ones that were there were simple to remove with lifting and squeegeeing. I also get lifetime replacements unlike the LOCA based ones. With the price and install method it is a much better deal imo, I'm just hoping they will revise it to be cut a bit shorter.

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

So do the edges of the protector not touch you fabric case? That is the only thinG bad I found the Heroshield, that some cases that wrap round the display glass to much can cause lifting, but I'm willing to use a case that is compatible since it is the only affordable full adhesive glass right now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Bogega:
Fabric case and slim cases (like pitaka or spigen) will fit with this tgsp just fine.

I can say for sure that Incipio Octane and Esquire, Caseology Parallax will lift screen protector and are not compatible with it.

You are a champion. This is incredible. The first protectors I had we're some welly no name garbage from China. The second one was from Spigen and though it IS WAS better than the first it's still only adhesive on the top and bottom so crap gets under it and it has the dot matrix and all that. From everything I've read so far this is the way to go. I'm pumped!

Unbelievable, that dome glass is the one I need but Amazon.ca says it can't ship to the US; something about warranty. I checked and it's not on our Amazon, only the one that doesn't cover everything. That is I believe the Whitestone Dome full coverage glass we have all been looking for. Thanks for sharing, now if I can only figure out a way for them to ship one to me.

Just got the Whitestone. My Zagg had started cracking further over the past week and it was time to address it.

Took 2 tries, but I'm happy as hell. If you don't like stressful installations, this may not be for you.

Not sure if I installed with the right side facing down, but it looks like there's an oleophobic coating. Doesn't look any worse than my other protectors for oil resistance.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] force70:
I got an intelliarmor 3D just because ive had their products on most of my other devices and they are great so figured Id try it.

Not full adhesive of course however touch sensitivity has not been affected at all.

Minimal halo effect, i barely can see it and even then only at certain angle's.

I didn't think there was a dot matrix until i saw the screen off in the direct sunlight then i could notice it.

Fit is great on it and way better than the crappy one i had before which left all the edges lifted and dust accumulation was evident.

Ill keep it on here for as long as it lasts since its working perfect for me.
