Closest would be InvisShield True Fit . I've installed two of them due to an RMA. Pain to install and pricey but if you follow the instructions and take your time it turns out really nice. This thread is all about that protector. https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2-xl/accessories/invisshield-true-fit-adhesive-tempered-t3725161

Well, i gave the griffin Tempered Glass screen protector from Amazon a try:

Griffin, Google Pixel 2 XL, Survivor Glass, Tempered Glass Screen Protector, Scratch Resistant, Anti-Fingerprint Coating https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079RM1LYK?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

In the info I couldn't find anything If it was full adhesive or just around the edges.

Received and installed. It IS INDEED just around the edges. It has yet to pop off but it does have the "rainbow" effect in the middle of the screen and its not as finger print resistant as I'd hoped. I may try to return/refund it for its $30 cost.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Ghisy:
So from what I'm reading, there's no cheap and good tempered screen protectors for the P2XL?

My phone came with one pre-installed (bought it barely used, seller said the TGSP installed costs around $25) but it has both the rainbow and dot matrix effects. It's not horrible but I wish I could find something better that costs less than 15 euros (about $20) in Europe. Any idea guys?

Thanks!

Finally got my Qosea screen protectors from aliexpress. It took a few weeks though. I installed the first one. It took a good 20 minutes to install without bubbles. I can see many people getting this and throwing it on and seeing how horrible it looks and just tossing it. It is REALLY tricky to install. It doesn't really have adhesive. It seems to just use static cling like some of the flat TGSPs I've used on my Nexus 6P.

When I first lined it up and drop it on, I followed the instructions. I pressed the middle to try to squeegee the air bubbles out. This definitely did not work. The outer portion was already stuck and would not allow any air bubbles to be pushed out. I used my fingernail and pried it back up but left the top edge on. I slowly peeled up to where air bubbles were and squeegeed down. This takes some good elbow grease to press down and out to get air bubbles out. I had to keep doing this in sections. I eventually got to the final corner and got he last air bubbles out.

It looks absolutely perfect with no air bubbles on. I seem to have a slight proximity sensor issue though. There are no cutouts for the sensors but it is clear glass where the sensors are. I downloaded the sensor fix app and it kind've fixes the issue. I have to wipe the area down with either my finger or something for it to think nothing is above the area. I'm going to wait it out and see if there is a fix pushed out soon. I won't know how good this is until I have it on for a week or so but right now a few hours after install it does look perfect.

What r u all using to clean your WSD protectors? Do u have s dedicated glasses cleaner rag or something with glasses cleaning fluid? WSD held up UNBELIEVABLY well, but it's finally starting to get micro scratches. I'm hard on my phones, so I can't believe it hasn't happened sooner. Now that the damage has begun I need to work to mitigate it. Please help.

Just purchased my pixel 2 xl . whats the best screen protector out for my new pixel 2 xl in uk .:D
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] rohit25:
Whitestone domeglass... I had it imported from mobilefun.co.uk to India... And it's the best quality with excellent smudge resistance... Given our oily hands... ????
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] pro4ever:
Expensive £40 amazon :(:(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] rohit25:
But qaulity... You can try invishield as well from sgfreshidea... But it's not a easy install as Whitestone...

I have invishield as a backup with me for when this breaks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] force70:
Thats alot cheaper than having to replace your screen.

That and i never get how people can pay 1000+ for a device but have issues spending a fraction of that on a screen protector lol....

sent from my Exynos S9 plus, Pixel 2 XL or Note FE

That link has been removed, I really wonder why I cannot find a "good" screen protector for the Pixel 2 XL that doesn't have hundreds of bot reviews on Amazon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
You have basically 2 choices. The 2 loca adhesive screen protectors. Those aren't perfect, the biggest problem being that they can lift if dropped and tend to Crack fairly easily. But they are the best buy far. I like Whitestone because the installation is so easy. I have done 6 installs and all turned out good. That being said my wife has busted 2 protectors on her note and my sister has busted 1. I am still on my 1st protector from around Christmas. I am really gentle on my phone though. I do tend to drag my finger nails pretty hard on the screen and have a few very light scratches on my Whitestone. They do have a warranty though it kind of sucks. You pay around $15 for AND have to return the old protector before they send a new one.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Nystad97:
Just bought the intelliArmor screenprotector after months of delays with a 50% off coupon. I hope it's improved compared to the first version - will let you guys know. Anyone else that has ordered one?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
I have to say I like my white stone also but it cracked really good on me a few weeks ago. I was staying at a hotel in Denver and woke up when the alarm went off went to get my phone across the room. The cable caught on the corner of the dresser and the phone flew out of my hand and across the room. I've been rocking it cracked but didn't know they had a warranty. How did you go about doing your replacement under warranty? I have another one I bought for my wife that she has refused to put on her phone so I'll probably put that on mine in the meantime.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] rhut_tiger:
Is this without loca and without the edges?

I am confused there seems to be 2 versions of it

I know whitestone is the best but there has to be other options for pixel 2 xl...

Also can you share 50% code here?

Whitestone Dome Glass = PERFECTION (NB Some suggestions for the installation)

After following the advice of many of you here, I've bought the Whitestone Dome Glass and I've installed it today.

Just one word: PERFECTION! :D

It's amazing and everything went well during the installation procedure :)

Speaking of which, I just want to offer you some extra suggestions for the perfect installation that I've learned thanks to the experiences of many users on YouTube.

Here they are ;)

1) Wash your hands with a good skin cleanser, preferring those ones that leave your hands well dry (so, avoid, by all means, cleansers which leave your hands very oily);

2) Before wiping your smartphone with the wet and dry clothes, vaporize the whole working area with a clothes iron, so that all the dust particles and microparticles in the air are removed, since they will be too wet and will fall to the ground, without landing on the phone during the procedure. In this way, you'll avoid any potential mess, such as dust micro-specks under the screen protector, which can cause bubbles;

3) This passage may seem banal (but not so much, since many YouTube reviewers didn't follow it): before starting with the installation procedure, turn off your device, because any possible vibrations, caused by notifications or, worse, phone calls, can ruin everything, especially after releasing the glue on the screen;

4) Before completing the UV light treatment with the second and last session of 60 seconds per screen area, clean the screen gently not only with the dry cloth, as explained in the official instructions, but also with the wet one, in order to remove the glue on the borders of the screen protector and avoid the sedimentation of dust and lint there;

5) At the end of the entire procedure, wait an hour, before using the phone, and 24 hours, before putting a cover on it. In this way, you'll avoid any possible damages to the screen protector, because the glue will have much more time to solidify, before being stressed by your fingers and the cover.

That's all. I hope these advices can be helpful to you, as they've been to me ;)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jamiejames:
Just a little warning from someone that's on their second one. Be gentle with it. It's a lot More fragile than you would think. Crack's easily. I'm my case for no apparent reason. Maybe I bumped it,I don't know.

Just my theory. after taking the first one off the I noticed that the adhesive is harder than any other screen protector I've ever seen. I think being That there's no give, any shock or stress crack's it. Great protector otherwise.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] MariuxReloaded:
Yeah, I'll be very gentle and delicate with my Whitestone Dome Glass, and yes, probably your theory is correct, because of the glue under the screen protector. I think this is a compromise, in order to have a completely adhesive screen protector, since the edge-only adhesive screen protectors are a little bit stronger than the Whitestone and the InvisShield in the center of the phone screen, where there is no glue (although they can be removed very easily, even after a fall on the ground, with great risks for our smartphones).

Thank you very much for your advice ;)

I like the heroshield screen protector

Hero Shield looks great... and not to expensive and have full screen adhesive.:D:D

https://heroshield.co/products/full-adhesive-google-pixel-2-xl-screen-protector
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] fergdizzle9090:
how is it? i had the first one too and the edges were too long/didnt stay down. im using the 3d edge adhesive now and not a big fan.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
I was doing some searching. I have a WSD installed,...awesome protector. But,...I am also interested in a screen protector with full adhesive, no liquid adhesive, no dot matrix, and no rainbow affect. I came across this manufacturer. https://mime-usa.com/product/pixel-2-xl-ghost-glass-screen-protector/

I have been a pure Google fan since the Galaxy Nexus. I have used this compalny before with my Nexus 5. And I am sure my Nexus 6. So...just curious if anyone out has tried this one out. It is on the expensive side. But,...I can say this. With my Nexus 5 it was the best glass protector I have ever had. Never got a scratch on them devices.

Also...I heard of this one too. https://heroshield.co. If nyone has tried these,...give us a small hit on this topic here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CBMC:
I don't see anything in the description that mentions full adhesive or no dot matrix. I don't know if it is possible with this phone. The edges almost look like they have a little valley before the rounded down part. Unless it is filled in or a protector matches this shape exactly (which with variance from screen to screen, I don't think is possible) I think it will bubble up.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Nystad97:
It's quite bad unfortunately. It doesen't cover the entire touchscreen (see attached image). I will not recommend it to anyone! To intelliArmor's defence; they do have a supreme customer service. I got a full refund in addition to keep the product when I complained.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Well they certainly avoided the sides from lifting with that design. LOL.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] vivilxw:
just found out whitestone is offering 30%off on amazon. ordered 1
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] fergdizzle9090:
Thanks, i expected that since the screen begins to curve after that so there isnt a way a full adhesive flat screen protector can go much farther without having the lifted edges.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] icepixie:
Yikes!! That is pretty terrible... it's almost worth sticking to the also terrible 3D dot matrix edge adhesive screen protector. :crying:

That's good you had satisfactory service with them. I was an original backer of that HD screen protector, back in Oct (!!) 2017. They sent an email in Nov 2017 advising their HD protector isn't quite ready and in the meanwhile they can send me a free 3D protector and will send me the HD one when it's finally ready. 7 months later, I find out the HD version is available by browsing the site.. yet no one contacted me to send me the item I paid for! :rolleyes: Now they're trying to nickel and dime me to get me to pay shipping on the HD protector...grrr.. But seeing how bad the HD one is, maybe I'll just ask for a full refund.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Nystad97:
You're better off with a full refund, trust me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dsteinschneider:
I've been very happy with the AmFilm microdot protector except it comes loose too easily. I never remove my phone from its Spigen case except for when I've needed to re-apply the screen protector after a drop. Once its come loose it collects debris and is never as well attached. Has anyone tried a tiny bead of LOCA on the adhesive portion of the AmFilm protector?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] puertorecon:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
I have been using the Whitestone Dome Glass. I just recently had a drop and shatted the glass. So,...when I first asked about heroshield. I had just installed the WDG. So,...I was mainly asking cause of the full adhesive without using LOCA. So,...that is why I was asking again. I am rocking a temporary glass for my 2XL. From Zizo,...it came with the Bolt series case. I am trying to ask without waisting cash buying something bad. So,...I am asking the public on this forum for some insight from experience.

Little video for the IntelliArmor tempered glass.

[YOUTUBE]T8qkUurPli4[/YOUTUBE]

Pros:

Not too expensive

No Halo affect

Minimal to no rainbow affect

Good oleophobic coating

Cons:

Not full adhesive

Edges where display curves collects a little debris

Only available from their site
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] JimSmith94:
Would you or anyone else know if this works with the Seidio Surface case? I've had good luck with IntelliArmor protectors in the past, but I tried a couple AmFilm Premium Glass Screen Protectors and I think the case pushes on the edges of the protector enough to pop it off, probably when I use the squeeze feature of the phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bradputt:

can anyone comment if this oleophobic coating is as good as whitestone's?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] arvylas:
Hey guys I'm using the ultimateshield glass protector. It's really good for indoors use no rainbow no touch issues and no problem with the rhino shield case. Outdoors use though is a pain in the butt. It's too reflective even inside the car for maps use.

Any suggestions for an anti glare screen protector? Or maybe a less reflective glass? Dot matrix isn't a problem as my current one has it and never cared.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] WorldOfJohnboy:
Anyone else notice something on Amazon? I did a search for Tempered Glass for the Pixel 2 XL and see a bunch of results, most have stellar reviews (and some well over 100 reviews). So I did a little digging and filtered only the "Verified Purchase Reviews" and lo and behold, all 1-star reviews from those people. Looks to me like they have shill accounts to pump up the ratings. The worst one I found is HERE. 500+ reviews, but no verified purchases?

My only question now is how do I find one that gets good VERIFIED PURCHASE reviews? Seems impossible.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
it's been discussed to death here. there are no good, cheap protectors. Whitestone dome, purchased through Amazon, is your best bet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] tlxxxsracer:
I havent used a whitestone protector on any devices. Sorry I can't provide feedback
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] renzo.olivares:
I'm sure this would work. I've seen a couple of youtube videos demonstrating it, but any bubbles will show the dot matrix.

I recently shattered my whitestone dome glass and decided to use the spare loca tube and an unopened am film screen protector I had lying around. I decided I did not want the dot matrix so what you can do to remove it is carefully peel the adhesive off of the am film screen protector. After that you should carefully peel the other layer (the one with the black borders and the dot matrix) off. This second part will take a while and requires a lot of patience. I used some tweezers and my fingernail to get this done. I then proceeded to apply the loca to my screen and gently & slowly placed the new clear screen protector on the phone as you would during the whitestone installation. It came out looking pretty good, only one air bubble :( As long as you're careful installation should go fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dsteinschneider:
Thanks for your detailed explanation. I'm going to try it myself next time it comes loose.

After having two of the AM Film protectors bounce loose and crack I was very careful to press and seal the black "frame" against the glass for my third application. I have had a few drops where it has stayed on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Ygrec:
Just received Rhinoshield protector - stay away!

I've had my share of screen protectors, but this is by far the worst. Ordered a "RhinoShield 9H 3D Curved Glass Screen Protector", received a cheap plastic one. It's also too narrow to cover the whole screen, and was nearly impossible to install. The installation instructions say "peel of the protective layer identified with "A", but when I pulled the tag with "A", I only remained with the tag in hand, without removing the protective layer. The same happened with the protective layer B, both had to be scratched off manually.

So I ended up paying some $30 for a poor quality, cheap plastic protector.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kickenwing13:
I just wanted to vouch for the Whitestone. I was running and went to change songs and dropped my phone directly on the front on the top left corner of the screen... The screen protector split in a couple places but when I took it off there really wasn't any damage. Totally impressed.

Armorsuit MilitaryShield https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B076RMPH8J?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jbarcus81:
Just installed the Whitestone! Installation went well, although, user-error on the bottom. I must have put the speaker cover sticker on a little too high on the glass and it ended up in the adhesive. When I went to peal it away I didn't notice, and now I have a cluster of little bubble looking things on the bottom left of my screen. It's not a major issue, but my eyes always go to it when I can see it haha... Will give it another go if I absolutely can't stop looking at it. But so far so good! Very case friendly!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] arvylas:
Ultimate is better than skinomi imo except they updated it. Iqshield is probably the same as the ultimate one but they have a screen friendly protector and a full screen one whereas ultimate has only the full screen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bigup7:
Fitted an ultimate shield plastic screen protector on my 2 XL yesterday.

Fit is great, I’m just waiting for the last few bubbles to disappear but looks really good. Works fine with a spigen slim armour (the one with kick stand)

I put the rear protector on one aswell for the time being but have ordered a Dbrand as well.

This is my second pixel 2 XL and first time around I used a Whitestone Dome which was great but just too much money imo.

i don't know how you going to seperate the glass from the screen..........
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] arvylas:
It's almost impossible without damaging the screen. At least it's pretty easy to replace the screen. One of the easiest out there
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Mikulec:
How is the feel of the screen protector, last time I had plastic screen protector (couple years back), fingers were not easily gliding on the screen, it felt "rubbery"..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] arvylas:
Feel is surprisingly good for a pet. Obviously not as good as bare screen but I had cheap glasses worse than the pet. The only downside is that it's not as easy to clean as glass
