So I got this today: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B076...rds=somi+glass+screen+protector+pixel+2&psc=1

I do believe it is a dot matrix, although not as noticeable as other ones I have used. The glue ACTUALLY STICKS to the edges as someone has already pointed out. The glass covers the entire screen plus a sliver of the side bezels. I screwed up the install and it still looks way way better than all the other protectors I've tried. If you need something now, I definitely recommend this one
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Suhas_JS:
None of these are available in India. Anyone from India who's got a good and totally covering (almost) tempered glass?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] UpGrad3:
Im in the UK and i brought the ultimate shield and i am really pissed off with it it only had adhesive on the edges and i put my spigen case on the phone and it cracked the glass!!

please does anyone know of a screen protector that has adhesive completely covered ?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] redandblack1287:
This is an excellent point. I would also add to this that you should request a refund if you get a poorly designed screen protector, as this will really encourage companies to either get their act together or stop making the screen protector altogether. I have gotten a refund from Verizon, vigeer, and ZeKing, all for making screen protectors that are basically defective by design. Saved me $40 on top of sending a message
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Stea1thmode:
The exact thing happened to me also!

Just as well because I didn't like the glass;

Due to the lack of adhesive, the top and bottom part of my screen would make clicking noise when I glide my finer near the sections. Also I thought the glass was too glossy. The installation process was a breeze though with real edge to edge fit.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] polo2883:
I am thinking about this screen protector as well. I had it on my Pixel and it was a good protector. Only problem was I went through like 2-3 of them because of them cracking from dropping. They do replace them with a shipping charge for the new one.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] UpGrad3:
Haha that noise mine was exactly the same i hated it. have you been able to find a fully adhered one ?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] redandblack1287:
Just saw a new one today:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B077...ds=pixel+2&dpPl=1&dpID=51zjwITfL1L&ref=plSrch

I don't think I'd trust the reviews, but they at least claim to have the halo issue addressed. Hopefully the actual product has a cutout for the sensors in the top middle, unlike the picture
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] penciluser:
All those reviews are fake as ****. Every single one is on August 7th. The pixel 2 wasn't even available then.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] redandblack1287:
Lol I saw that, they are clearly merged reviews as one of them specifically mentions it is a protector for the iPhone. I think they are fake for whatever they were initially intended for and now they added the reviews to their pixel 2 offering, clearly none of them apply to the pixel 2. I should have clarified
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Stea1thmode:
I've ordered the vigeer, should arrive tomorrow via Amazon Prime, it's 2.5d so am not expecting it to cover the whole screen as I'll be using it with a case. I got high hopes for this one, will look again when nillkin and intelliglass decides to join the game.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] UpGrad3:
brilliant please let me know how it is and if its fully adhered cause if so ill order one!
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] skullzaflare:
Magic is the exact same cutout FYI
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] ErikFry:
That's a picture of the 2 XL. You are in the pixel 2 thread.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] UpGrad3:
[MENTION=1964406]Stea1thmode[/MENTION] did the protector come ?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] skullzaflare:
Generic picture is generic. I have regular pixel 2
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] giant22000:
I'll post in to give a thumbs up to PhantomSkinz screen protector. Sure it's not tempered glass but from everything I've read about other screen protectors this may be our best option for now. Ill post up some pictures in a bit.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] yeongil:
I got the Dmax Armor on Friday. Good thing it was a 2-pack, because I messed up on the install of the 1st one. This one goes to the edges. There was a rainbow effect when first installed, but that disappeared after a while. I do see the dot matrix, but it doesn't bother me. The Dmax Armor, however, is just a temporary measure -- I'm still waiting for Spigen to release their GLAS.tR TGSP. :eek:
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Stea1thmode:
Not yet matey.

Royal mail let me down. There's no reason why it shouldn't arrive today.

Will update you this evening.

Cheers.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] gogol:
Does it cover the whole screen or just the flat area?

And is it wet or dry apply?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] skullzaflare:
The full coverage (not "case friendly"model) covers from bezel to bezel

Wet apply
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] giant22000:
The version I bought is Max screen coverage and it does cover the entire screen.

It is wet application.

[MENTION=1931732]UpGrad3[/MENTION]

So the Vigeer glass screen came today and tbh I'm not that impressed. See attached pics;

The sides do not stick especially the bottom part. I've taken some shots to compare; naked with just the glass on, with a fabric case on and finally with a spigen clear case on. Its not a pretty sight trust me. I think I'll go ahead and look at a film screen until something decent comes along.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] UpGrad3:
Thank you for letting me know the side look terrible! i saw a spigen one somewhere that was "case friendly" i may try that as their products are usually good
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] hubhib:
I bought a couple of no name brand protectors from different sellers via Ebay for about 3 bucks and they are all the same like yours. Makes me think that most of the protectors thus far are from the same Chinese fabric and then sold by different brands, just slapping their name on it and re-sell for double the price.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] flunk03:
I ordered one from Amazon called Marshland. It's not great but it will get you by till a premium one comes around.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Stea1thmode:
Do let us know how you get on. Cheers.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] pgjensen:
I just got my PhantomSkinz case-friendly cover in. I do not see cutouts for the camera, proximity sensors, etc... only the speakers. Is this normal?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Suhas_JS:
Yep. Using that. Seems like that's the best option as of now.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] UpGrad3:
i will do just gotta find it hope i didnt see it for the pixel and not the pixel 2 lol. will let you know
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] flunk03:
If anything premium comes up, I will let you know.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Suhas_JS:
Sure thing. Thanks :)
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Drops77:
Don't buy this one. It's crap, don't fit, by the time I order and it came they changed the image of what the item was. Not only that it said 2 per order, I only received one.

On top of that.....it used to be a different item and they just changed the picture and description. It has 300+ reviews all either fake or for a different item.

[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Drops77:
I literally clicked every single link and all the glass items have bad reviews. This ****en blows.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Vermonter:
Power support tempered glass is now available on the Google store, I just ordered it. It will be my first screen protector for the phone so I won't have anything to compare it to but I'll let you know what I think when I get it.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] redandblack1287:
Try this one:

[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] B1GCL0UD4:
Confirmed

I can confirm the protector redandblack posted does not halo and covers the screen to beyond the outer edges. Highly recommend.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Ero5413:
Privacy screen protector?

Anyone found a screen protector with the privacy fill in there? I haven't found one yet and that's the main reason I want to buy one...
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] FSRBIKER:
Are either of you using a case and if so which one.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] B1GCL0UD4:
I constantly switch between a Ringke Fusion and the Spigen Tough Armor case with no issue at all on fit with the previously mentioned screen protector.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] redandblack1287:
I'm using a Spigen thin fit
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] NotShorty:
So far I like this screen protector.

[2-Pack] Google Pixel 2 Screen Protector, (Full Screen Coverage) Dmax Armor [Tempered Glass] Anti-Scratch, Anti-Fingerprint, Bubble Free, (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076FJL6X1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6X1dAbF8PZG7D

I use it with this case.

Spigen Rugged Armor Google Pixel 2 Case with Resilient Shock Absorption and Carbon Fiber Design for Google Pixel 2 (2017) - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07471C38C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_0Y1dAb1THK9B3

It fits almost perfectly within the inside edges of the case, though it's like microscopically bigger which seems like it causes one side to be slightly higher. This means I occasionally have to press slightly harder to register my taps. Really though if I play with the edge of the case I can get the screen protector to lay flat and function well.

Dot matrix is barely visible and only at certain angles. Fingerprints are more noticeable, glare is worse than no screen protector.

A two pack for $8? No-brainer. I might upgrade at some point, but not any time soon.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] petercr:
Just ordered one of these...

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Google-P...hash=item21302b6588:m:mWv_9BWfozJbArMZ0bKhsfg MaxShield HD Aqua Crystal Shield

Not sure why it's not on the MaxShield website yet...
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] joderme:
I am assuming this one is dot matrix?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] redandblack1287:
You know, I'm not 100% sure. I can say with certainty compared to the Vigeer protector (which is dot matrix) it is infinitely clearer. I can't tell if I'm looking at a dot matrix or if it is just the amoled screen/subpixels/whatever on white backgrounds. At the very least it isn't noticeable unless I look closely at the screen
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] joderme:
One easy way to tell is if there was adhesive on the entire screen or just the edges. Also you would see little dots in sunlight at an angle. I'm guessing that it is full adhesive being clear.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] redandblack1287:
Yeah it's full adhesive then
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] phobos512:
And it looks to be another crappy edge adhesive only one - hence the black borders. No point in paying for that.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] ErikFry:
Are you sure? Clicking on the link and reading the description of the product, the manufacturer says it does not cover the whole screen.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] joderme:
[MENTION=6689878]intelliARMOR[/MENTION] is going to try to put out a full adhesive protector that will have the black borders (hides the halo). I hope they can make this happen.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] phobos512:
The "halo" is nothing but an area where the adhesive didn't stick. It's indicative of poor design.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] joderme:
And your point is what exactly??
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] nizarnoor:
[MENTION=6689878]intelliARMOR[/MENTION] Any news on intelliGLASS 3D for Pixel 2?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] joderme:
I saw somewhere that they are a bit delayed as they can't get it to the specification that they like.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] phobos512:
My point is that no one should be proud about incorporating visual obfuscation to hide a design fault. It's crappy product engineering. I know it's just a screen protector but damn, actually care a little bit about what you're selling. As an engineer myself stuff like this really irks me.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] joderme:
Fair enough. The thing with glass and adhesive throughout on a nearly full coverage protector is that the adhesive in the middle tends to cause the outside to halo. The alternative that companies lean towards is a dot matrix in the middle and adhesive around the edges. I've had nothing but issues with these.

I'm afraid the only solution would be a custom molded protector for each of our phones as I've certainly had variations in screen flatness.

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

Thanks. How is the coverage on the left and right edges?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] nizarnoor:
I believe that only applies to Pixel 2 XL, not the 5" Pixel 2. But I'm not sure.

Perhaps they can clarify here?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] intelliARMOR:
Howdy! Yes, our shipment arrived at our warehouse today and we have begun to ship out orders. It will take us a few days to get caught up on all, but we'll get them out. It looks like the black Pixel 2 models are the hot sellers and we sold through all the inventory that already came in, so we're another 14 days out from the next batch being available.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] nizarnoor:
Great news! I placed my order on October 30th so fingers crossed mine is in that first batch of shipment!

PS. I hope you're also making progress on the HD Pro full-adhesive version!
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Drops77:
Why are screen protectors now coming with the black outline, i bought one and in order to place it center on the phone the sensor almost got covered. No way of me fixing it,because then the screen would be off.

Personally i dont like it, but anyone can chime in?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] redandblack1287:
There is a sliver of black bezel on either side all the way up and down
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] razrlover:
So that would be the intelliarmor intelliglass HD 2 pack? Says in stock 12/5,

I'm looking for screen coverage that can be flat post of screen only area, just don't want Halo's around edge or black borders. Just glass on flat area of screen and I'm happy. Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] robofinch:
Anyone planning on picking up the Rhinoshield screen protector? Looks like it just came out, I've been considering it.

Can't tell if it's edge adhesive or full, though.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] an21281:
Just pre-ordered the Rhinoshield combo today(screen protector and Crashguard bumper case) for my Pixel 2 XL. Looks like the Pixel 2 protector is in stock now. This will be my first Rhinoshield protector, hoping its good even though it doesnt cover the entire screen...
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] intelliARMOR:
Hey All - anyone who ordered our intelliGLASS HD - 2 Pack. Our warehouse messed up some of the shipments and some of you received a single pack instead of a 2-pack. If this happened, please let us know at support@intelliARMOR.com and we will make sure you are taken care of.

Also - if you ordered our 3D glass, you should know the Pixel 2 & Pixel XL 2 3D glass has only a slight curvature, our 3D glass doesn't have the same dramatic curvature as other phones, although our cost to produce is the same. We are making progress on full adhesive models and should have some announcements soon.

Thanks all!

intelliARMOR
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] robofinch:
It sounds like the "case-friendly" version other people are offering, without calling it that. Let me know how well it fits! I have a case-friendly version (IQ Shield) which is doing fine size-wise, since I have a case on it.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] reyouben:
Just got my intelliarmor order and also received just the 1 protector.

by the looks of these pictures from someone who already installed the screen on their pixel 2, it doesn't look like it's worth it to buy even at a discount.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Stea1thmode:
Avoid this one also;

[2 pack]Screen Protector Google Pixel 2, EasyULT 2-Pack Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector Film for Google Pixel 2(9H Hardness,0.26mm Thick,2.5D) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0769BP87F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_lxvgAb4JDGHJA

This one is really bad, on par with the Vigeer. The only positive thing with this one is that it's reasonably thin being 0.26mm.

Please avoid!

I've yet to find a decent glass screen here in the UK. Everything on Amazon is pretty much all the cheap knock offs they sell on eBay. The search continues..
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Stea1thmode:
Here are some pics for the above. Sorry mods, I had to create a new post, can't seem to edit for some reason.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] razrlover:
Curious what's wrong with it?

Looks like s good fit with no Halo?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] ghettopops:
Good fit? I personally would not purchase something that had that horrible of coverage.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] razrlover:
It's not a flat screen, its curved on the edges so glad it doesn't go to edge, same with htc 10. Hopefully someone will come up with a solution but small gap i would be ok with as long as no Halo, or lifting. My personal opinion
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Stea1thmode:
Last year's Pixel also has curved edges but the tempered glass covers more of the screen. (See pic) I'm quite disappointed tbh, the current case friendly ones all seem to fall short of a good fit.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] razrlover:
Oh i didn't see the halo in the previous pic. I retract my previous statement.

That sux!!
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] dbrohrer:
I have had my intelliarmor 3d installed for a few hours. My opinion is it's the best I've tried. Yes it's dot matrix and I don't like that. Otherwise it's pretty good.

No touch issues and no rainbow so far.

For the record I have tried every full screen tempered glass protector on Amazon (with a black border). IMO this best until we can get something without dot matrix.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] atlp99:
I received my order front IntelliArmor today. Unfortunately im supremely disappointed. The HD does not cover the entire viewable screen, there is a full millimeter on both sides of the screen that is not covered. Additionally there was only one screen protector in the pack, it shows a 2 pack on the receipt.

Secondly, the Pro is dot matrix instead of full adhesive. It also cuts off some of the display by covering the sides of the visible display with the black edges.

I'm not happy with either of them. Very disappointed based on my past experiences with both the HD and the Pro on the original Pixel, these aren't as good.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Vermonter:
As promised here is a short review and pictures of the Power Support screen protector on the Google site. It comes with a microfiber cloth and sticker for install. It is a curved full screen protector with black bar adhesion on the bottom, top, and sides and has a dot matrix. Unfortunely since it fits the screen prefectly a case will not fit on the phone with the protector on. I tried to put a case on and cracked the screen protector during the process. I used the phone for about 5 minutes before trying to put the case on it and the phone was still very responsive and I did not notice the halo that has been mentioned with other protectors. If you use a screen protector but not a case I would say this is a good screen protector for you.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] biggiep:
Received my [MENTION=6689878]intelliARMOR[/MENTION] screen protector for the Pixel 2 (non-XL) and am extremely disappointed. I get that the protector is supposed to be slightly smaller than the phone glass due to the curved 2.5D edges, but they went so conservative with the coverage this time that the protector is virtually unusable. I have the original Pixel with intelliARMOR installed - the protector can at least cover the entirety of the OLED display. This Pixel 2 protector is too narrow and leaves about 1 mm on each side of the OLED display uncovered.

What makes this protector unusable is how there is a red/green shimmer effect at the edges of the protector where the pixels underneath may move in or out from under the protector depending on the angle you look at the phone. Basically at all times you'll be seeing the screen have a red/green line running down the sides and the colors are always changing whenever your head or the phone are moving. Unacceptable!

[IMG="i see reds and greens, on my pixel 2, its doom and gloom for me and you"]https://i.imgur.com/lKbbMjs.jpg[/IMG]

I've used intelliARMOR glass protectors for two years on various devices (Note 5, iPhone 6S Plus, Pixel) - this is the first time I've received something from them that was this poorly designed.

And this doesn't even include the fact that they sent me one protector instead of two.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] intelliARMOR:
Hey [MENTION=2777802]biggiep[/MENTION] - Thanks for your feedback here and sorry to disappoint you! We're doing make goods on the warehouse error for the single vs two-pack shipments that went out (if anyone else received this just let us know at support@intelliARMOR.com).

We were a bit conservative on the HD - full adhesive models and we will take another look to see what improvements we can make. As always, if we come out with an updated version, we will take care of anyone who ordered the original.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] skullzaflare:
The Chinese ebay full glass can be used as long as you dremel out at the proximity sensor, otherwise dimming is a little wonky, and you can't hang up a phone call lol

Of course I cracked it doing so, but it was a first try
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] alogical:
trying to decide between the IntelliGlass or the one from Google for double the price
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] biggiep:
Appreciate the response - I know you guys have good customer service which is why I've come back to you for years but this time the product is just not there and I can't keep waiting for another month or whatever it will take for you guys to look into expanding the width of the protector. I'll probably contact the email just to get my second protector but seems pointless if I don't plan on using it.

Can't recommend the intelliARMOR protector unfortunately. It looks like Bodyguardz just released their glass protector and at least their renders claim the entire OLED screen is covered from left edge to right.

https://www.bodyguardz.com/google-pixel-2-screen-protectors-tempered-glass.html

The downside is their massive cutout for the camera and speaker is lame but I'd take that over the protector ending 1mm away from the edge of the screen.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] nizarnoor:
That looks like most TGSPs that are already out. Must've been coming from the same manufacturer/supplier.

That one will be too big and won't be able to attach properly on its sides (thus creating the halo effect).

Look at this post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74515170&postcount=260
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] farrenicus:
I've never seen Amazon so horribly gamed as when looking for a screen protector for this phone. The most common protector, linked just above my post, has between dozens and hundreds of short, 5-star Engrish reviews per listing (under different brands). Amazon should stop accepting non-verified purchaser reviews at this point.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] biggiep:
Thanks for linking that. Judging by those photos, it looks like that protector does reach the very edge of the OLED panel, which means that the curvature of the Pixel 2 glass must start before where the panel ends. This is probably different from last year's Pixel in that last year's was probably flatter up to the edge of the phone. In this case, it just might not be possible for manufacturers to make a TGSP that will cover the whole OLED panel and not have a air gapped halo around the edges of the Pixel 2. This is very unfortunate and the only hope will probably be those protectors with the adhesive only around the edges. I'm sick of curved glass on phones and especially on the Pixel 2 where it literally adds no aesthetic or functional value.
