Zagg InvisibleShield for Pixel 2 XL == major disappointment

I know I'm replying to a month old question, but thought I'd add my experience, as this whole topic is maddening and frustrating for those of us with a new Pixel 2 XL.

I liked earlier InvisibleShield products, and Zagg was something of a leader for a while, so when I got the phone at Verizon and they offered me an InvisibleShield protector, I winced at the price but went ahead anyway.

Net: Major disappointment.

As others have most likely noted already, the fit is disappointing. It seems to be slightly curved around the black perimeter, but leaves the edges of the P2XL screen uncovered. The protector itself is thick enough so that you always feel your finger drag against it if you swipe into the screen from an outside edge. Seems to me that this defeats any benefit at all that would normally accrue to having a curved-edge phone screen. With a poor fitting protector like this, you don't get the benefit of the appearance of a curved screen, or the feel of a curved screen. Instead of being a benefit, it becomes an annoyance.

The way the top edge of the glass is cut leave two little spiky corners sticking up: one to the left of the front-facing camera, and the other on the right side, symmetrical with the little spike on the left side. You can easily "hook" these corners - with your finger tip, a piece of clothing, etc. Annoying, and there's no real excuse for having designed the glass cut this way. Just poor design.

Touch sensitivity seemed good at first. Having owned and used the phone for 5 weeks now, it's apparent the the center of the protector is no longer sitting quite flush with the phone screen, and touch sensitivity is noticeably diminished. It especially bad lately on the right edge of the screen. Very annoying to have to press / tap / swipe "extra hard" for the phone to respond.

While the install appeared initially to be very clean, I'm seeing a LOT of dust and hairs start to work their way under the glass -- mostly from the top edge. I was surprised, as I thought that if nothing else, the edges was held down well. But this isn't true anymore (if it ever way). Out of curiosity, I hooked one of those top "spiky" corners with a finger tip to see how tightly attached the protector was to my phone, and the entire protector literally popped off. Un-freaking-believable. I've had cell phones for 25+ years (many of them), and used protectors for the last several years, and have never yet had such a bad experience. This really is a disgrace, especially when it's being sold by Zagg and Verizon for $49.

I didn't want to leave the phone screen naked, so I've temporarily pressed the protector back on, but it looks terrible now. Dust and a few small hairs are now under the protector, the adhesive under the black edge has trapped a bunch of dust, the edge of which appears just inside the black border.

I'll be heading back to Verizon to see if they'll give me a refund. If not, this simply goes in the trash. Maybe others have had better experiences with this product than I have. But my own experience with the Zagg InvisibleShield for the Pixel 2 XL has been incredibly disappointing.

I keep visiting this thread hoping for a good answer. I'm seeing some "maybe's", but it seems that every screen protector out there so far for this phone is either a bust, a gamble or a compromise. :rolleyes:
