I'm expecting mines today, currently, it's in transit.

Really? Dang.. You should email them. My phone just shipped and I really don't want to use it without the glass screen protector. I held out on getting one because I was thinking of using the free one Skickwrap gives.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] uicnren:
Mine came today as well, it is identical to the amfilm.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Bgloriani:
By identical, do you mean you are having issues people are complaining about on Amazon (ie falling off and sensitivity issues)?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] uicnren:
no. I mean it is exactly the exact same piece of glass. it is identical in every way.

I laid it on top of my amfilm on the phone and its a perfect fit, exact same cutouts as well as same exact cuts around the speakers.

and for the record, Im not having any issues with the amfilm, actually been pleasantly surprised by it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Bgloriani:
Good to know. All of the negative Amazon reviews have had me concerned.

I wonder if it's just lack of quality control and maybe some people are getting some poor quality protectors off the line.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Cheetohz:
Got word back, they intend to send these out in a second shipment at the end of next week. The glass manufacturer did not have a sample phone until now. So there is some shipping back and forth happening. A bit unfortunate for the consumer, but it seems slickwraps is trying to do right.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
My current collection...

LOL

Top left is the old IQ Shield. AmFilm to the right.

Lower is the Zagg, which I need to talk about... Then the new IQ Shield (they changed the design and sent me the new one for free), and the Supershield.

The problem with the Zagg is I ordered the glass place off of Verizon's website and they sent me the curve. After doing some investigating the SKU is the same for both so don't expect that there is a second Zagg right now.

https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/zagg-invisibleshield-glass-plus-pixel-2-xl/
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
As you can see the amfilm and supershieldz are identical. The accessories are slightly different and the backing on the back of the supershieldz is different but the glass itself is identical.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] coolsilver:
I got my Spigen case today... I think they missed the boat on screen protectors for me. I guess I'll be looking at one the flat TGSP that isn't $50 because I know in a month it will fail
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Per Zagg's website, the Pixel 2 XL only comes in the Glass Curve or HD film. The Pixel 2 comes in either Glass+ or HD film.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] cccoltsicehockey:
I am using the AmFilm right now just so I have something. The less sensitive touch isn't the biggest issue for me but it isn't stuck on very well. I can literally slide it around the screen. With it moving that much and also not having adhesive all around I would of dirt getting under it and scratching the screen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] TBarb169:
I have the amfilm tgsp too. I am on the list to get it replaced with a 2nd version with a new adhesive formula. I like mine other than the clicking on top and bottom. Also a little temperamental with touch sensitivity due to the tgsp floating. Supposedly the new ones will better adhere so it should eliminate my issues.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] cccoltsicehockey:
Where did you contact them through? Amazon? I definitely would like to get a free replacement to fix the issue. The fitment itself is spot on inside my Caseology case. Almost no gap at all. I agree the click and the bad adhesive are my main complaints.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ninotorpedo:
Man...my skin has yet to arrive, perhaps tomorrow now but thanks for filling me/us in on this.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Yeah, we went through it earlier in the thread.

The thing is look at the name of the link I posted and go look at the link. Companies make mistakes and Miss label stuff all the time, this time it was Verizon that did it though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
Well, all my accessories are on their way. Should arrive before my phone.

I ordered a Maxshield tempered glass off eBay with free shipping. It is identical to the amFilm, Supershields, etc, etc. (I'm telling you guys, they all come from the same manufacturer in China)

I also ordered a bottle of Loca glue & a UV light.

I plan on doing a liquid adhesive install like Whitestone Dome.

I will practice with my wife's HTC u11 first. ?

I'll video the pixel install for everyone.

I believe this is the only way we're going to get a curved fit that's actually stuck down all over. The dot matrix should completely disappear.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ninotorpedo:
Sounds great! I look forward to the video!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] TBarb169:
Yes, Amazon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Yes, I agree that Verizon mislabeled it. Sucks for whoever purchases from them. I'll put a note on the first post.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] eleciv:
It has been 2 days since I installed my second one and it has finally dried completely. All the bubbles have disappeared.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
How 'soft' do the modern film ones feel? A lot of the film style ones from what I remember when I used to use them and on the Windows tablets I have at work have this tacky feeling to them. You can kind of press your thumb nail into them and though it bounces back it feels terrible.

I should also mention for people that like easy to install screen protectors, the Zagg I got from Verizon online showed up yesterday and it has the icarez style tabs at the end. In my experience these have been the easiest to install.

It's the best-looking screen protector out of all the ones that have shown up so far.

My phone finally shipped and should be here tomorrow so that'll probably be the first one I put on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] moosetender8:
BIUZKO

I have a BIUZKO Tempered Glass Screen Protector on my Pixel XL. They now have one on Amazon for the Pixel 2 XL.

2-pack for under $6, but will not arrive until late November. Going to order this as a backup if I do not like the amFilm one.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Thanks. Added them to OP
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sitnlow4life:
Are you sure about that ?

When I want to Verizon I got a different story last week

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

Pixel 2 XL is available in glass+ I posted it last week
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
You sure? Zaggs website says otherwise.

https://www.zagg.com/us/en_us/invisibleshield/google-pixel-2-xl-screen-protector/

Are you referring to your post about Best Buy? How would best buy sell something that the manufacturer doesn't even list? And I don't see it listed on Best buy's site unless I missed it.

Everything I see for the Pixel 2 XL from Zagg is the curve and glass+ is for the smaller Pixel 2
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] vu45:
Armorsuit said they would have their film by end of next week but you can order them now from these guys on Amazon:

I have them in the OP but I'll update the links.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] radionerd:
I received my Pixel 2XL today, as well as a amFilm Google Pixel 2 XL Tempered Glass Screen Protector 3D Curved with Dot Matrix for Google Pixel 2 XL 0.3mm (1-Pack) [UPDATED ADHESIVE VERSION]

I put the screen on with no problems. Was able to move it into place after pressing on the adhesive. Then I put the device into a Otter Defender case. I noticed that the screen was kind of bubbled up, tried to slide the protector under the upper frame. The screen protector cracked in the top corner. It didn't even last 5 minutes.

I love the Otter Defender case, and have a different screen protector on the way. Love the Pixel 2XL, The screen looks vivid and clear.

The new one I bought is a IQShield

Google Pixel 2 XL Screen Protector (Case-Friendly)[2-Pack], IQ Shield LiQuidSkin Full Coverage Screen Protector for Google Pixel 2 XL HD Clear Anti-Bubble Film
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] vu45:
Also cheaper off Amazon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Yep, I saw. Cheaper priced is always good!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sitnlow4life:
I mean this is a photo from the actual store , what more can I say ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
I went back and saw your post from 6 days ago. It says HD Clear. Which seems to be the same as what is on Zaggs website for HD film. It doesn't say "glass+" with dark packaging like the other packages underneath the package in your image.

Viewing your pics on my phone is pixelated. I would love to add it to the OP but I can't even find links on their website.

Not trying to argue. Just curious why a retailer would sell something that the manufacturer themselves aren't even offering.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] MrMeeseeks:
Ok, so I have tried the Zagg Glass Curve and the Verizon Tgsp. On both I had these vertical rainbow lines on either side of the screen. I got to examining and discovered it was actually the adhesive. Even on the Zagg which has black edges on the side, the adhesive still came out into the clear part of the screen. I see no way around this unless they could do a revision. If you are ok with rainbow lines, the Zagg seemed pretty good. I couldn't tell if it has a dot matrix or not but the Verizon one definitely does. The Verizon one also seemed to tap more as if it were actually being pressed down to the screen. I would suggest staying away from these, unless you don't mind looking at rainbows on either side. Anyway, that's what I have so far. My next attempt will be the Skinomi film protectors. If they don't fulfill my needs then I guess my screen is going naked. At least I got the device protection.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ninotorpedo:
That's unfortunate. Were you at least able to get a refund on the Verizon & Zagg glass screen protectors?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] MrMeeseeks:
I haven't tried yet. I just got the Zagg yesterday and was using the Verizon one before.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ninotorpedo:
I see. I spoke to the online chat rep and she said that even after it's been opened and used, it's still possible because of the return policy. Though sometimes store reps say otherwise...Best of luck to you if you intend to return them.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] cccoltsicehockey:
Thanks for the heads up. They are sending me a replacement a well. :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] nbaj2k:
Just wanted to provide an update, heard more info from Intelliarmor, will be a curved schedule protector and they hope to have them about 2 weeks from now.

-J
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jumpman1229:
Great to hear! I've gone with a naked screen until now since the Skinomi I ordered was absolute trash.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Kusanagi Fire:
Well that's a shame. Looks like I'm in the same boat as you - using Verizon one and was hoping the Zagg one that just shipped would be better. Even though I have device protection, I'm still hesitant to go completely naked...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ScottIsMyName:
I ordered the Vigeer flat (http://amzn.to/2yYCWro) with expected Delivery around November 8th. Just got an email saying it will be delivered on Friday! Looking forward to the flat screen protector since none of the curved ones seem great so far. I'll post a review once I get it on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Yup, 100% sure. I looked at the website, got the SKU # and looked at the SKU # on the box, identical.

I'm going to try it out before I raise a stink about it.

ReviewMeta

One thing that might help people get effective feedback on these items is to feed a product URL to ReviewMeta. I use it all the time and it helps separate the tares from the wheat if you will. I would link it but I'm a forum pup. :P
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] MrMeeseeks:
Anyone with the amFilm, do you have vertical lines on both sides of the screen from the adhesive?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] SanzaBlancoAkA2C:
I ordered the Supershieldz on ebay but haven't received it yet but judging by all of the recent reviews I'd be better off not wasting my time. I don't have my Pixel 2 XL yet so I've got time. These look promising if you're going to be using a case:

https://www.amazon.com/SoMi-Protect...ywords=google+pixel+2+xl+tempered+glass&psc=1
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] rajendra82:
The rainbow was temporary for me. It went away the next day, and when it returns now, it's much smaller, fainter, and shorter lived. I thinks it's just trapped moisture. Intially there was a lot left over due to installation in a steamed up bathroom. Now only small bits condense in the gap from time to time. I am willing to pay that price to get full screen coverage on a curved screen with no halos on the edge.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] fergdizzle9090:
ordered this flat one by wellci, should be here friday

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074L4D3TL/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

hopefully itll be a good one until a nice full adhesive curved one arrives later on
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] uicnren:
Well, as fate would have it, when I got home from work today, I noticed there was some dust around the edges, no big deal, I work in a dusty environment often, so, as usual I just blew on it and lo and behold off came the TGSP.

Up until that point its been great for me. Luckily I have the supershieldz that just came the other day, so I put that on now. it is identical to the amfilm, though earlier in this thread someone mentioned they had both and the adhesive on the supershieldz looked different, so maybe it will stay on better.

In any case Im holding out for the intelliglass version anyway, but hopefully this one stays on til that is out.

Glad to hear that! hope they do get them out soon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jamiejames:
I'm really not the best person to evaluate a screen protector. Can't beat a perfectly installed intelliarmor. That being said, the zagg curved glass really isn't that bad for what it is. Adhesive on the edges. No loss of sensitivity. Dot matrix No rainbow affect. Doesn't cover past the viewing screen on the top but fits everywhere else perfectly. Is it worth $50? Probably not but I'm okay with it for now. Not seeing a lot of positive feedback on anything else.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Brokenbit:
Yes, with the amFilm I see the lines up both sides of the screens, and the matrix dots (along with the blue screen) if I look at it the screen at an angle. Also not all of my touches seem to register. So I'm watching for a better glass screen protector. Hoping intelliARMOR will come thru for us.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
This 100%. All of the edge adhesive protectors are going to have the same problem. Really doesn't matter if it is $5 or $40. I have went thru it with Samsung and the only glass protector that is good is the whitestone. It is a shame that there is no equivalent for the pixel 2 xl.

Stumpy, have you found a good glass protector with clear edges? Are you going to try to remove the adhesive off the edges before using the loca?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
I'm going to use the Maxshield. (same as amFilm) which has the black border & I will leave the edge adhesive on it. Hopefully it will contain the Loca glue. I've got a clear 3d curved one for my wife's u11.

I would mock your excitement over a simple the shipping update, however I understand completely. Except my "Oct 25" bubble isn't filled yet :( First world problems! :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Norcalz71:
any determination of the top tempered glass pick yet? I had a skinomi techglass on my last two phones (G4 and 6P) and they were perfect, exactly what I want. Sadly skinomi will not be making a tech glass for the pixel 2 (honestly the curved edge is pointless to me, I prefer that flat look) and I just installed a techskin (the flimsy film kind) and it is not for me. Screen is protected for now but I would like to lock down a tempered glass ASAP. coverage on this techskin is good it goes right up to the edge of the cheapie TPU case I bought to hold me over until the diztronic comes out, but after having a TGSP, everything else feels pretty week.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] humdrum2009:

Cheap and works perfect on my wife's phone.

I want expecting much but for better than the one on my phone from Verizon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Rodeojones:
So, I take it no one has found a truly great tempered glass screen protector just yet. I'm using the amFilm, like many of you, and while it's ok enough for now, I'd like something better. The edges of the protector is a lint and hair magnet. Hopefully that'll improve when case finally arrives tomorrow.

I get the theory behind these edge only adhesive - but is there a tempered glass screen protector that is both curved and fully adhesive?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Jovacane14:
I just got my pixel 2 xl today from Verizon. The zagg curve was in stock there for 37 on my discount. I had it on my of pixel XL and loved it. Installation of the curve was a breeze and took 2 minutes. No bubbles, no rainbow, no sliding. Perfect install.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Don't get too excited, my phone was supposed to ship the 23rd, shipped the 24th. Picked up the box today and the only thing it was my Daydream view. Now I have to go through a whole refund process and reorder.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
The only glass that is full adhesive is the flat protectors that don't cover the whole screen. The other option is some sort of clear liquid adhesive like the whitestone dome uses. Unfortunately, whitestone doesn't make a screen protector for the pixel 2. So you are left with a diy solution using loca and a curved glass protector. I am sure you will see some people posting videos going this route. I am going to once I figure out the best glass to use with my loca. For the meantime I ordered a flat glass protector. I was hoping that it would cover the whole visible area of the screen, but looking at the phone that looks impossible. How long will I be able so stand the edges of the protector running down the active portion of the screen? Probably not long, but don't have phone in hand yet, so time will tell.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] chasingMango:
Do manufactures make curbed protectors without adhesive, for the exact purpose of being applied with loca?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
I haven't seen any. It seems like it is a pretty wide open market with whitestone being the only company that specifically markets such protectors(whitestone comes with liquid adhesive and a plain glass protector with no dot matrix) And they only seem to make them for Apple and Samsung. Hopefully another company does show up that makes a product that competes with whitestone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] nbaj2k:
amFilm is sending me their 2nd version of the Pixel 2XL Tempered Glass screen protector as a replacement.

Has anyone received this already that can let me know if it's any better?

-J
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Norcalz71:
do any of the flat tempered glass protectors at least cover the full screen area, or is the edge of the viewable area already dipped into the curved side?

I really can't see why this is so hard to make (without knowing much about the process). Granted it was flat but the skinomi techglass on my 6p is perfect and very easy to install.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] im12whatisthis:
intelliglass pro is A1 dont waste your time with anything else. They need to hurry up i need one on my phone asap. [MENTION=6689878]intelliARMOR[/MENTION] hurry up please :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] uicnren:
Don't rush them too much, they botched the OG pixel TGSP pretty badly, took them a couple tries to get them right.

Of course, they have stellar customer support and took care of anyone with an issue.

I myself am holding out for them as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kevlo911:
got the amfilm screen protector today. installed, so far so good. no touch sensativity issues. looks good; will confirm after a day or two if i get the rainbow. no clicking noises or sliding.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] gaw316:
Please do. Looking forward to it :). I have the accessorz... Would be great but there's touch sensitivity issues
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Andrew C:
I have a Ringke Fusion case and the amFilm fits perfectly. The only exposed areas are the cutouts for the speakers. Plus the new updated adhesive works perfectly. No halo or rainbow effects. Also no problems with touch sensitivity.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] SmartBrother90:
Just got my order today. Had a letter saying due to supply issues they gave me the Incipio tempered glass instead. Haven't tried it on yet
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
I sent Griffin an email and voicemail and no response. Eventually I called back again during business hours and they said the same thing about supply issues. I requested to have my order cancelled. Since I wasn't officially charged, they cancelled it. They didn't offer me anything
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] nbaj2k:
I've had intelliglass on previous phones, but how's the pro version? Have they had good success on curved screen protectors as well?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
I am going to guess that no they don't cover the entire viewing area. Looking at the screen on the xl 2 it looks like the screen begins to curve on the actual display part. Not as severe as say a Samsung note/s8, but enough that the screen won't cover the visible display area. The problem is that unless you use some liquid adhesive or a flexible protector, the screen will just lift up around the edges, collect dust, and just generally become a real mess. I know on my first nexus 6 screen protector it went almost to the edge and it started lifting up and "halo-ing" pretty badly. After the initial batches most companies started making a "case friendly" protector for the nexus 6 that didn't go close to the edges but did cover the screen. Unfortunately, I don't think the xl 2 will allow the protector to cover the whole visible screen like the nexus 6 and 6p did. I have the Vigeer flat glass arriving tommorow but unfortunately won't have the phone yet due to Googles distribution incompetence. Once I get the phone I will post a update in this thread.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] clothednblack:
Got the phone and zagg curved screen protector today. Was easy to apply and cover's the whole screen. Doesn't interfere with the case at all. Very well worth it.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] mrjoeltan:
That's the $50 one right? I was thinking about getting that for my soon to be Pixel 2 XL. I see that it's a dot matrix? does it have the air bubble? rainbow slick? How well do you think it'll stay on?

Was also debating on ordering some IQ shieldz just as a back up but since they won't be here until early November, I need something for in-between.
