Ordered an intelliarmour one.

However, the shipping will take a lot of time :( and i will need it before that because i`m travelling.

So ordered a random one from ebay for temporary use till the Intelliarmour one arrives. I don`t know if people have already checked it out. But you can certainly get some cheap use and throw ones from ebay for temporary use. I ordered the one with the title "2X-Google-Pixel-2-XL-Flat-Cover-Premium-Clear-Tempered-Glass-Screen-Protector" (I`m a new user so xda doesn`t allow me to post links yet). I have no clue how it is, but its cheap enough to try it out for temporary use.

I hope the Intelliarmour one lives up to our expectations. :)

Installed amfilm last night. Fits well. No issue to report.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] TNS201:
I ordered a few off ebay for my 2XL.

I ordered a MagicGuardz one

https://www.ebay.com/itm/391911853128

and a clear one

https://www.ebay.com/itm/162724578196

The annoying thing I have been seeing with these sellers on ebay is they ship with DHL. Seems like it takes FOREVER! I ordered one on Amazon and the seller cancelled the order because of problems with their product. Then I ordered the one on ebay like 9 days ago and its in a city about an hour or so from me. They have to transfer from DHL to USPS. So I might get it today, if not tomorrow. If the seller just used USPS instead I could have had this like 4 days ago. I ordered from this seller because they were only a few states away hoping I would get it quick too. I don't really want to use my phone until I have screen protector and theres no place to buy them locally and not gonna pay VZW for their $40-50 piece of glass even with a discount its a ripoff when these can be had 2 for $10-15$

Then I see that people are having problems with many of these protectors not adhering, not covering right, the halo rainbow effect. I have that with my Pixel XL screen protector. The seller gave me a refund because both of them in the 2 pack had the Halo effect. It would come and go some days then it eventually came worse. Before I read the forums I was wondering if it was like alcohol trapped under there from the wipe or moisture or something since I applied it in a steamy bathroom. I imagine they probably can resolve the issue by using a better adhesive and applying it full screen and not just the edges.

So whats the consensus on the best glass screen protector at the moment?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Jovacane14:
Still Loving my zagg. Yeah I paid 35 for it. But my time searching, buying other ones and lifetime warranty make it a no brainier. Haven't had an issue and have had it on for a week.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Ohgami_Ichiro:
I know we're finally getting a good handle on the best screen protector but does anyone use a protector on the back glass? I'm not really a case person so I'd rather have a protector on the back glass.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] champlification:
I've never used a case before, but got the clear PowerSupport one from the Google Store. It's not rubbery, but isn't as slick as the bare back of the phone. It's super clear and the Panda shows through it but it seems to get smudges easy.

Edit: It doesn't have anything to 'extend' the power and volume buttons, so they are a little tough to get to, but not impossible.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] crushingyen:
Best bet for you would be to get a skin from dbrand. They sell the back glass portion individually if you only wanted that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Ohgami_Ichiro:
Yeah that was thinking. Thanks!

Just wanted to give some feedback considering the amFilm curved glass protector and my current set up that has been perfect.

First, my setup:

amFILM (before the updated version):

https://www.amazon.com/Google-Screen-Protector-amFilm-Tempered/dp/B075WW69PS

MaxBoost Case (perfect for the minimal style - covers all around unlike the Spigen - reminded me of the Ringke Slim I had/have on my 5x):

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...re-20&linkId=371c192bcca6569355dff5d48a01e3b7

Vigeer flat glass protectors (as backups)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07415W2KG/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Secondly, the feedback:

- amFilm (before the revision) is perfect. Doesn't slide around. However, it had the rainbow effect upon the initial install (which I was expecting given all these reviews here in the thread), but it went away within a couple hours of use (got my phone yesterday). And today, its perfectly fine like nothing happened at all. I even 'tried' to move/slide the protector around with my thumb/finger all to no avail :good: -- BUT! I did give it a little time (a little time meaning a few minutes) for the adhesive to stick and adhere with the occasional 'pressing' around the edges before really using the phone yesterday. (side note: after reading all the negative reviews after I bought it from people who already had their phone, i contacted amFilm about the replacement of the revised version - they sent me one, but it came cracked :rolleyes:)

- MaxBoost case, perfect. thats all i have to say. Plays extremely well with the curved glass protector -- my phone is protected everywhere.. Nothing is exposed. The front side edge of the protector comes extremely close to the side of the glass screen protector.. There's literally a millimeter of space between them, maybe IF THAT! :highfive:

- Vigeer flat glass protectors are my back ups. After reading about the first batch of amFilm, a immediately went to look for flat ones that were immediately available since my phone would arrive within a week. They were/are my back ups if in-fact the original amFilm was faulty AND if the replacement one didnt do so well either. (I ordered the Vigeer at the same time i contacted the amFilm about the replacement revised one - they both came in at the same time, but as you read above, the amFilm revised one came cracked.)

In short, I'm pleased and I wasnt expecting the original amFilm to work given the responses. If it didn't work out, i had back ups that i knew would work.. But i took my time, applied my skills (lol), and low and behold, the original amFilm worked out. I actually like how it looks, too. So im reluctant to put on the flat one after/when this one breaks and might just reorder another curved one haha

On the contrary, YMMV :silly:

Do you think the 3D version would cause an issue with cases? I just placed an order for the 3D last night and just got my Google cloth case in today. Just worried they would conflict.

I ordered the Power Support Pixel 2 XL screen protector. It showed as pre-order but shipped the next day, which was Tuesday. According to tracking it should arrive tomorrow. Will post pictures as soon as it arrives.

I currently have a Skinomi screen protector installed perfectly and would hate to remove it for a screen protector that won't adhere. But if Google is promoting their screen protector, hopefully it will be a perfect fit.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Nocturnal86:
How does that wet Skinomi feel?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] TeK9samurai:
Awesome. I love the feel of it.

It's rather smooth and not sticky.

No bubbles or stretching. Can only notice it's there when I see the fingerprints. [emoji16]

I used to hate these screen protectors but they have gotten much better through the years.

Something was better than nothing while I waited for a solid glass protector.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] KHANrad_SIN:
Was trying to decide between the amfilm, incipio or zagg ones and ended up going with the amfilm since it is less than half the price at 14 bucks. I could not justify spending 50 on a screen protector for the other two. Saw mixed reviews for the amfilm but decided to risk it. Turns out its pretty good. I don't have any rainbow effect or marks in the middle since I pushed down in the middle of the screen protector first then moved my fingers outwards towards the edges when installing. I think for the price it is worth it. You can see the dot matrix a little bit but only in direct light. Touch sensitivity hasn't changed at all as far as I can tell. It works with the official Google carbon fabric case. Just installed it so will update if anything goes bad later.

[MENTION=6689878]intelliARMOR[/MENTION] any luck compiling the list of cases which you guys tested with your 3D tempered glass?? Gotta order a case and waiting for some insight from you guys...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
OMG I am NEVER TRYING THAT AGAIN. Loca glue everywhere. My 1 day old p2xl has officially had it's first bath. Had to scrub glue out of the speaker too. Then blew it dry with compressed air. Nightmare.

Funny thing is, the loca glue is supposed to cure fairly quickly under uv light. But I've had that light on the glue on the protector for about 20 mins & it's still completely liquid.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xryousukex:
interested in the intelliarmor 3D, has anyone received one and can give a review on it?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bigant262:
Tech Armor just released their it looks like. I like their screen protectors, on Amazon and is eligible for Prime. Ordered one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076B1V8NV/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=

I bought a FilmHoo 2pack due to price: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07679Q4SF/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I figured I could buy some time until I found the one I really wanted. I haven't replaced the protector on my 6P in the 2 years I had the phone, but replaced the $50 VZW protector on my wife's Pixel XL twice, and it needs replaced again, but i'm avoiding the shipping cost again (unacceptable).

I will post up when it gets here tomorrow (along with my panda/penguin).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] owlmatt:
Started with an IQ shield which is always solid when you are fine with a wet application.

Just installed the amfilm updated version and have to say I'm very impressed, especially for the cost.

Have an intelliarmor 3D on order but this amfilm might stay on until I hear some reviews.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
Please do. I have a 3d intelliARMOR on order shipping the 20th but if the one from Google ships so much faster and works well I'm buying from there and cancelling the other order.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] blcklab:
Will keep an eye out for reviews on this one.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] TeK9samurai:
Will do.

Didn't ship from Google, shipped from Power Support.

It's a Made for Google accessory.

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

They have good reviews overall on their products.

It seems harder and harder to find a good glass screen protector.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Lucke:
this is what i'm looking at, but Google shows it as being 100% clear, but Power Support shows it as having either black or white (depending on what you buy) borders. it's all so confusing :p

can you verify when you receive it? thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] TeK9samurai:
I believe the Pixel 2 is clear but the XL has a border.

Will update later today when the mail arrives.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] uicnren:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] TheGeekyNimrod:
I ordered the same ones. But mine didn't adhere well. It hung over the curved edges maybe just by 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch. Would just flip off the phone. I'm on the hunt for something else now. I'm bummed because I've used Mr. Shield on the last few devices I have owned.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah I posted as well that the edges were bad. Returned for full refund at least.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Interlude:
Just received the amFilm TGSP and I'm somewhat disappointed with the dot matrix and rainbow effect. This the updated adhesive version btw.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] TNS201:
The black border one I received has a crappy adhesive and at one point earlier had a halo on it. I pushed it back down on the edges and it seems to have gone away. This one was dot matrix too. The package wasn't the same or same brand as I bought on ebay

The clear ones I did not use yet. Figure I will use the black one till it fails and then use the clears as a backup. They only cover the flat part of the screen. Gonna wait till we have a better option before I get another 3D one. The 3D one was case friendly with my caseology case. Whats it gonna take to fix this issue? Adhesive on the full glass?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
Interesting. I wonder if you used way to much glue. The whitestone I didn't even cover the earpiece on a note 8 and didn't have too much glue come out. I still have a couple of the loca glues they sent with my whitestone. Once I find a decent clear curved protector I will try it. Might try lying out in the sun. The whitestone cures in less than 2 minutes under the uv light. How does the glass look with the loca? Do you see the matrix dots?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
I actually started with only a small amount, but couldn't get it to spread to the edges. So I lifted it and added more. Then it was coming out all over but I still couldn't get it to spread to all corners. It was terrible. Ruined the protector & had to throw it out. I couldn't wash all the glue off without scratching it. The glue came off the phone easy enough though. Under running water & a toothbrush for the speakers.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
Was that loca thick? If watch any of the videos on the whitestone it is actually really thin. It dries like the glue you find on the back of credit cards stuck to paper. Kind of gummy and soft.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
Yes, I thought it was too thick. It didn't just spend by itself like Whitestone. I wonder if we can just get the glue from Whitestone?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sgvjon:
Received the Power Support tgsp today, and I have to say, the packaging looks nice. Besides that, do not buy it.

Contents of the package: 1 tgsp enclosed in a thin non-scratch plastic, 1 microfiber wipe, and 1 sticky paper adhesive that is poorly cut.

The inner side of the that is the only one covered in a removable film. The front facing side is not covered. Only the black edges are adhesive backed, and applying it is easy I will say. Removing it is also very easy, but do not try it more than 3-4 times as the sticky residue will probably become tacky. I kept removing it to try to get rid of the rainbow effect. The rainbow effect is sooooo bad on this. I used my own lens wipes to clean my screen, and the that screen on both sides. This seems to have minimized the rainbow effect, but it's just a small portion of the center of the screen.

I am keeping this on until a better one comes out from anybody. I didn't really care that it has dot-matrix, but the rainbow effect is terrible. I am using it with Spigens Liquid Crystal case and it sits flush and doesn't move at all. The only portions that aren't covered are the speaker areas. I am hoping Spigen comes out with a tgsp as I really liked the one they had for the og Pixel XL, and never had the rainbow problem on it. So, save your money and don't buy the Power Supply one.. at least until if they bother getting rid of the rainbow effect.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
One last question. Did you find a clear non dot matrix curved protector? Might have to try it's with a dot matrix. I never thought there would be a day I would be waiting for a $40 screen protector. Come on whitestone. Or somebody... Seems like the market is pretty open for another good wet adhesive glass protector.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
I used a MaxShield, which is exactly the same protector as amFilm, power support & a few others mentioned on here. (Seriously, they are all from the same factory). It has edge adhesive & dot matrix. It's a very well made protector otherwise & fits great. I've got another one on order, so I'll just fit it normally until intelliarmor arrives.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] TeK9samurai:
Without further ado here are the screenshots of the Power Support 3D Tempered Glass for Google Pixel 2 XL.

The screen has a dot matrix design but it is really hard to see. You have to move th screen in different directions to see the reflection of the dots.

Comparing to the Skinomi I have currently installed it's the same exact layout. I might invest in a UV light for the install.

You can notice the fingerprints on the glass much more than the Skinomi.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
It's the same protector as the amFilm, MaxShield, etc. Except way more expensive.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
Was that the 2500 viscosity or the 1000 loca?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
Just checked the product listing. 2500. ?. Wish I'd known that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] intelliARMOR:
Howdy - apologies for the delayed response. Another phone release had us tied up :)

Our testing was on some generic, off brand cases. We're looking to see what they would be most similar to, but are hesitant to confirm as we may be incorrect. We had this same issue with the original Pixel and wound up helping all who had incompatible cases with case friendly versions, we will be sure to do the same here.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
There's a couple of threads over on the Samsung forums about the use of loca. One thing I see is not to use the black border protectors because the border blocks the uv and keeps the loca from curing.

Most people recommend the xfactor 1000. They also say none are as thin as the whitestone but actually adhere better. They recommend the >---< pattern with loca and very slowly dropping the glass. Also tape any openings with electrical tape. The xfactor takes much stronger uv light than the whitestone to cure.

I would guess the combination of too much loca, not strong enough uv, too thick, and the black borders all made the install a mess. I am not going to try until they release a completely clear protector without the black bezels. Hopefully one with no dot matrix pattern is released.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Lt.Tealc:
Any recommendations for cheap tempered glass that works ok until intelliglass ships
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] TNS201:
I bought a few off ebay. They shipped by DHL and took nearly two weeks to arrive. I think they are US sellers and drop shipping from overseas because the one package was from China and wasn't even the product I ordered. Make sure you order one using USPS. Getting a clear one that only covers the flat part should do you good if you are worried about the black border 3d ones that produce a Halo.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/162724578196

That is one I bought but he shipped by DHL Find someone who uses USPS. I think many are drop shipping from overseas and thats why DHL is used. DHL doesnt deliver to your door. They tender the package to USPS then USPS delivers. Its annoying.

Zagg Curved from Verizon Store

I'm a nut when it comes to keeping my phone clean. I refuse to have my bare fingers touch a screen without a screen protector. With that being said, I ran to the local Verizon store and shelled out $39 for a Zagg curved TGSP. I went home, slipped on my nitrile gloves, opened up my black 128GB Pixel 2 XL box and popped on the screen protector and slipped it into a cheap LK clear TPU case. At first there was a slight rainbow effect in the middle of the screen. After 2 days there was NO rainbow effect AT ALL. The Zagg does have a curve to it as well as very small black borders on top and bottom of screen protector only. The screen protector does curve around the sides as well as top and bottom corners. However it does not cover the entire front of the digitizer. But it does cover the entire viewable LCD. I am very happy with the final result of the Zagg. There is a slight orange skin look that shows up at certain viewing angles. But, you would not be trying to view content on your screen at these angles as they are far too great for comfortable viewing. The only other noticeable caveat is there seems to be a visual line where the curve of the screen protector begins to slope on the sides. Again this is perceivable only when viewing at certain angles. One of the biggest thorns I feel with the Zagg, was the $39 price of it. That includes a discount that is available to me at Verizon stores. It was marked as $49! That is ludicrous for a screen protector! All in all I would rate the Zagg Curved TGSP for the Pixel 2 XL a solid 8.5 out of 10 and would feel comfortable recommending it to a friend.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Okay so just need a cheaper version that copies Zagg's design. [emoji23]
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] chasingMango:
I have the IQShield non-glass protector applied and it's great. Not sure I'll even switch to glass. This one folds over the edges and is almost invisible. It doesn't feel same as glass but I think it feels great in a different way. No complaints. It doesn't protect against shattering, but I have the protection plan for that and will replace the phone if the screen shatters. Plus I'm believing that the Gorilla Glass 5 is pretty strong and shatter resistant, I'm only worried about scratches which wouldn't warrant a replacement, and I feel this is great for that.

Received the amfilm TGSP last night and installed. So far so good. Works well with the fabric case I have.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
The funny thing is, when you go to Power Supports website, it shows the screen protector with the black frame around it. The design is also different. The one below has a cutout under the top speaker but with the one that is on Google's page, it doesn't. The Google version also has the speaker holes cut out where as the one below has a big notch on both ends.

https://www.powersupportintl.com/3d-tempered-glass-for-pixel-2-xl/
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] scottjal:
With better pictures too, looks like the glass is actually curved on it. That may be special enough to justify that price, will wait to see a review on it.

The notch is probably going to be the way to go, that thin piece of glass if it didn't would be fragile.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] antiochasylum:
I'll put money that Google had a piece designed for them.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bigblueshock:
Has anyone had a positive experience with Tempered Glass screen protectors on curved devices? For example, S7 Edge, S8, etc

I'm a little nervous. The reviews are not stellar on any of these brands for their curved tempered glass protectors. For instance, the incipio plex, and the zagg get horrible reviews for their Galaxy S series curved displays, but stellar for normal flat glass. I suppose also could be user error during install, but who knows.

Not to say these brands aren't good at making normal tempered glass screen protectors. I may just try the amFilm one.
