I don't know. It seems everybody is complaining about the smudges, and yes they are pretty bad. The thing that seems to be getting worse are the scratches. At first I didn't notice them too bad, but as time goes by they are getting worse and worse and not "healing" very well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Wilazn:
aren't they on these forums? Can them out and ask what's going on...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sekretaznman:
If you're talking about the Power Support ones they sell on Google, I think I read somewhere that they have the same issues as all the others ones thats been available (dot matrix, bad adhesive, etc) and also dont really feel like spending 40 bux to test it out either lol.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] browniegirl:
I'm so tempted to take this thing off lol. Holy crap, the bare screen is better lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] :
How about the supershieldz one?

Somehow I miss the flat screen like V30. What is the deal to make screen curved anyway?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
If you want glass I wouldn't even bother with anything that isn't full liquid adhesive. Nothing they do with edge adhesive is going to fix the inherent flaw that exists. Unfortunately with the curve, full adhesive isn't going to work well either. So what we are left with is liquid film plastic protectors and liquid adhesive glass protectors. This film on mine is getting pretty bad so hope Whitestone does release their protector soon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
I was informed it will be available December 15. I will have videos of unboxing and installation for both Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Mike02z:
This is what I've been waiting for. I have Domeglass on my Note 8. It's pricey and you need to follow directions to a T, including a totally level surface, it's an amazing product. I just wish they included 2 pieces of glass as novices are likely to have a problem with their first install.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
15th for the 2xl, 20th for the 2
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
They said they were shipping both to me on the 15th
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
Saw this as well as another liquid adhesive alternative.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] holla420:
I hope they not charging an arm and leg for this glass.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
Good find. I'll be watching this one. Only issue is they sell the Loca & UV light separate, so ends up costing about the same as Whitestone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
If they keep the same pricing the Whitestone will be $40 without uv light and $45 with. Sgfresh looks like $40 with light. Both give you 2 applications of adhesive. With the sgfresh you can buy the glass only for $20ish which is an advantage. Never used them, have used Whitestone and it is slicker than the screen with no protector. Supposedly, sgfresh was working on a loca that was stronger than Whitestone but not so strong that you would have trouble removing from phone. I am also not sure if sgfresh gives you the nice install tray that Whitestone does. Which might make install more difficult.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Nekromantik:
After looking at the install video for dome I am kinda worried of ruining it and its expensive to buy extra protector!

Plus the warnings of using approved only cases.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] mkouk:
The Whitestone looks interesting. But after watching the installation video for the S8+ I couldn't help but wonder...what happens if you want to remove it? Would it damage the actual screen or peel off the oleophobic coating?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] deadite66:
from watching a youtube video on a removal it looks easy, i'm more worried about keeping the dust off the screen as you only get one shot at putting it on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] browniegirl:
They give you 2 adhesive, and used to have instructions on how to retry if you mess up. I still think you have 2 shots regardless.

I'm looking for a hard plastic (I think its PET) that covers the full screen. For my S7 (flat), I found that the Spigen Crystal HD was perfect.

Has anyone found one that has zero orange peel that is case-friendly?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] nidhish91:
BIUZKO protector is for $5 right now. Just purchased it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
Don't mean to be a downer, but that protector scored less than 30% on fakespot. This leads me to believe that it is the same weak edge adhesive, dot matrix glass as all the rest. Won't be losing much for $5 though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] LLStarks:
Why are these companies deliberately using dot matrix? Do they all share suppliers that they refuse to push back on?

Do a little R&D ffs.

If this Whitestone one doesn't work I'm going to go naked. Even the iq shield seems to reduce touch sensitivity too much. Maybe this phone just is calibrated differently than most but it's frustrating.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] nidhish91:
I'd return it if it's **** lol.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
They do it so the screen is responsive. Edge adhesive and no dot matrix will lead to a unresponsive screen because of the "air pocket" that is formed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] grokus:
I'm close to going naked, if this Whitestone one doesn't work. Even the iq shield reduces touch sensitivity. Maybe this phone is calibrated differently but it's an issue I don't have on other phones.

I'd happily use a glass protector that only covers the flat part of the screen, even with the edge being visible.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] LLStarks:
You missed the point of my post. I want companies to use full adhesive for 3D protectors. I've yet to see a technical justification as to why they won't do that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
That doesn't work either. Then the edge lifts. Liquid adhesive is really the only thing that will work properly and I wish more companies would realize this and work on them.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] JQ3:
I remember having a near orange peel free liquid protector for my Palm Pre that 'healed' quite well way back when they were all the rage. I don't know what has happened since then but I bought the "Skinomi TechSkin" for this phone and it's absolute garbage. I think most people leaving reviews on Amazon are doing so soon after applying it. It went on easy on my first try and had almost no orange peel. I was thoroughly impressed how it looked the next day and even a week later. Since then, it seems to have 'shriveled' with creases appearing all over and it doesn't heal at all. Every single mark that it has gotten since I put it on is still there. I tested it by lightly rubbing my nail on it to create a light mark which would've gone away within an hour on my old Pre phone but is still there two weeks later on this phone.

It seemed like different companies had different quality protectors back when these were popular. When I bought this one it was set to be "in stock" on the same day as all the others so I'm thinking that it doesn't matter what brand you buy anymore, they all get theirs from the same terrible supplier.

Has anyone tried the New Revised/changed Power Support version?

https://www.powersupportintl.com/3d-tempered-glass-for-pixel-2-xl/
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
With the Whitestone coming out, costing about the same amount, I would wait. The power support is edge adhesive with dot matrix. Doubt it will be great.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] evanwier:
Oh, I had thought the new version of the power support was full adhesive no dot matrix now, guess not! I will wait for Whitestone then.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] benhaube1:
The Skinomi one is actually the only one I've had any luck with so far. All the others I've had have been garbage. I've had the Skinomi on for a few weeks and it's still good.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dutchy716:
This is the same one Google is selling on their store. I just received mine from the Google store today. Disappointed to say the least.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] nidhish91:
BIUZKO protector is ****. Not dot matrix but doesn't cover entire screen. I have 2-3 mm area still outside the protector from both sides. Disappointing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kotaro_14:
OnePlus sells full adhesive glass screen protectors for their OnePlus 3 and 5T which have curved edges too, so I'm wondering why other companies can't do so too.

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------

It's not difficult as long as you take your time. It's actually easier to align since the mechanism aligns it perfectly. Just make sure you're in a dust free environment.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] gaw316:
With the updated amfilm tgsp... Do you guys notice a ton of dust accumulating under it?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EstarlinMReyes:
When I installed my amfilm, I managed to have no dust under the screen and two days after I noticed a lot of dust under the protector too. Also, the screen protector peeled off once my phone dropped on the floor.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] GoogleFan:
I don't know about pet but pleson makes a good case friendly plastic protector.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] pvtjoker42:
I've had my amfilm on for over a week now, using the x-level case.. no dust that i can see as of yet. when i tried various other curved glass protectors with my previous case (spigen rugged armor) they never stayed on for more than 2-4 days max and had dust under them day 2 at least.

So my personal conclusion is that many cases are pushing on the curved glass in all the wrong ways and that leads to dust and other issues with them. Would the 2 other curved glass protectors be as good as my current amfilm with this same case? can't say.. but I think it's possible.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sharpz811:
People still use screen protectors? Lol fam I had my Nexus 6p for over a year before it suffered the blod and forced me to upgrade to the pixel XL 2 and my Nexus screen is fresh like the day I bought it without NO SCREEN PROTECTORS and trust me it had its share of minor and major drops lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
These screens get micro scratches. If you look under the light I bet you will see scratches. Now, I will be the first to admit that these scratches are barely noticeable. But some people are bothered by such scratches even if they are only noticeable in very specific conditions.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sharpz811:
Ok good point bro I never thought about that guess it's time to shop for a screen protector I just hate them because they make the screen look dull
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] grokus:
It also significantly increases resale value if you are able to keep the screen in great shape.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] browniegirl:
Sgfresh is normally 79 sgd which is 58-60 bucks, doubt that includes shipping. Right now their stuff is on sale for 43 USD, it seems cheaper to get dome but we'll have to see.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] WalrusSneakers:
Anyone got any word on the White stone protectors? Will they be going on sale tomorrow still?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
Yesterday they tweeted:

Thanks for showing interests on our Dome glass. For Pixel 2 XL, it will availbale on Amazon before the week of Christmas.

And this :

It will be available for pre-order by next week but it seems Prime is going to be by 23th I'm afraid.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] incarceration:
i have had great success with XtremeGuard tempered glass screen protectors (they refer to it as Spartan Tempered Glass Screen) and they are very cheap (cost wise.)

i have been able to get 2 of them for $6 and free shipping.

i have not had one that was for a curved screen though so i cannot attest to their protector for the GP2XL but it might be worth a shot (if it's even a curved TGSP and not just a flat one)

http://www.xtremeguard.com/Google-Pixel-2-XL-Screen-Protectors-p/google_pixel_2_xl_screen_pro.htm

make sure you use a promo code to get the 2 for $6 w/ free shipping. at the time of writing this the code needed is either CYBER90 or TAKE90. if neither of those work you can look at the top of the page and i think they always have the TAKE70 code active

How a flat screen protector is supposed to work on a curved screen?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
It's gotta be trimmed to within the start of the curve. Unfortunately the side edges of our phone's screen ends where the glass curves.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Nocturnal86:
They suck for this phone, and the oleophobic coating is crap
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stoney73:
Bought the Brotect screen protector. It's garbage. Leaves 3mm of the screen exposed on either side and is ever so fractionally too long. And the customer service is ****ty too. Avoid.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] incarceration:
have you had one? is it curved or a flat one? did you get the tempered glass one or plastic junk?\

which one do you have\use?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sacchypon:
I'm still using a film screen protector. Does anyone have recommendations for any of the tempered glass ones? Looking to avoid dot matrix ones though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
Whitestone should be available in a week or so.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sacchypon:
I've never used that brand before. Looked and saw they do have products for other curved screens though. Has their been any example images of the screen protector or reviews (if review samples were given, not sure if that's a thing)?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
There are reviews on the Samsung devices that have rounded edges. I have one on my wife's note 8. The only glass that worked well on the note 8. It uses a liquid adhesive that cures with a uv light. There are several videos of the being installed on YouTube.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] :
How is your rhinoshield TGSP? Is it a full coverage?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] GridironTrenches:
i don't have the rhinoshield. waiting for the pixel 2 xl rhinoshield to drop
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sacchypon:
Any complaints using a case with the screen protector? (If your wife uses them, that is.)

Thanks! (And sorry for all the questions!)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Nekromantik:
according to website its not edge to edge so no not full.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
There are some protectors that don't work well. Some ringkes and otterboxes come to mind. There is a video on YouTube that has a guy testing a bunch of cases with the Whitestone. Obviously, that is on a note 8 and is mostly irrelevant to what cases will fit the pixel with a Whitestone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] :
Don't really care about the "full coverage" thing. Just seek a solid feel in hand that you don't need to worry about any accidental drop in daily usage at all. In that sense I am a fun of Rhinoshield with the bumper case and the screen protector. It's reasonable priced (~$40) and works better than any cell phone insurance you can get.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] benhaube1:
Does anyone know of a good glass protector that's full adhesive? Every one I've found is expensive and crap. I'm currently using the Skinomi wet film protector after having much trouble with the Zagg.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] :
I am very interested in the rhinoshield with anti-fingerprint coating.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ckupsco:
Trash

That same screen protector is on Amazon with 20 different names and packages, and all have 5 star reviews. I bought one of them and installed it. Total POS, barely covered the screen, big time bubbles and rainbow effect on the sides where the glue is. Stay away from these.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] phishie:
Can anyone recommend a film screen protector that's decent enough to tide me over until Whitestone is available? Preferably something that has decent oleophobic properties.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Decree:
I've got a pleson film, and it seems to be working pretty well so far. Had it for about a month. It's a wet installation, pretty straight forward, no issues with peeling. Was fairly cheap too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] phishie:
How the oleophobic'ness?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Decree:
It seems alright, I wouldn't call it amazing. Probably average.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jonnydopemsr:
So did you get them early or have to wait till the 23rd? Just curious cause if you are making a video, I for sure will be watching it multiple times before I try to install this myself.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
I have not received it yet. I emailed them for status and no response.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] erojas388:
So I just installed the rhinoshield screen protector and its pretty good. It has no bubbles or halos but it does not cover the entire screen due to the curves. I also do notice a slight graininess on white screens. After seeing some youtube videos on how strong it is I'm confident it offers great protection for drops. Overall I think I'm sticking with this one until reviews for the whitestone come out.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
So I got a response. They will be sending them out tomorrow. They did ask when it would be posted and I told them within 2 days of receiving the package since I have to do a video on unboxing and installation and than edit the video.

So i told them the sooner I get the package, the sooner I can have it done. I'll keep everyone posted.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] shebalord:
I have been using the IQShield wet application film and its pretty good. Easily wipes clean with a micro fiber cloth. It also covers 99% of the screen, including the curved sides.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jonnydopemsr:
Sweet! I look forward to seeing the videos! Thanks for the update!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] :
I tried Pleson and IQshield and found Pleson to be ridiculous to install. IQshield is OKay.

Both have absolutely zero oleophobic coating.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ewizzle78:
I'm finding the edges pretty sharp. For this price I think they should have smoothed out the corners. Since it doesn't cover the entire screen, I keep catching my thumb on the sharp edge swiping from the side . Especially an issue when in landscape checking notifications. Super bummed.... Might try the other version... But $25.00? And their service is ****e.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] erojas388:
I definitely see what you mean. It hasn't been a big issue for me since my case comes up on the sides so I don't feel it much. Unfortunately we have to wait a little longer to find a perfect protector as it seems the ones available now all have some type of issue.

I asked Whitestone Dome on twitter and they said pixel2/2xl should be on amazon dec23
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
I just had my first issue on my wife's Whitestone dome. She dropped her phone and the protector lifted. I pushed it back down but of course there is bubbles under it. Still feels great. The impact caused the protector to lift. I can't figure out if the case caused it or if it was just the impact. Pushing on the case I can't get to lift so it must have just been the impact. I do agree with sgfresh that the Whitestone uses too weak of a liquid adhesive. Yes, it is really easy to remove, however it doesn't take much to cause it to lift, and once it lifts, it's done. I haven't dropped my phone yet so hopefully it won't be an issue for me, but if you drop your phone a lot it might be a problem. I do wish Whitestone would stand by their product a little better. Just send at least 1 extra glass with the protector. They already include 2 vials of adhesive.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Whitestone said that my samples for the Pixel 2 XL are being sent out today and should take 2 days to arrive. I'm waiting for tracking number.

Pixel 2 versions will ship 1-2 days later. I will keep everyone posted.

May I ask how you got them to give you a sample?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] cdig:
Does Whitestone have any warranty? Sure is pricy for something that's is possible to mess up or a minor drop in the case can mess it up.

can you try again if you notice you had some dust under?

Really curious how that's going to work around the proximity sensor and the camera. Hopefully you'll bring that up in your review. Looking forward to it.

Anybody have any clue how the Whitestone will pair with the Rhinoshield bumper? I have already pre ordered the bumper , but nervous they wouldn't play well together...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dhaugru:
I have a 2XL and have both products on order (Rhinoshield and Dome Glass).

I also have a Note 8 and the two paired together nicely but it's important you get the installation right on the Dome Glass. It's an edge to edge glass so the margin of error is next to zero.
