I did 2 installs of the sgfresh invisShield. First one i installed it misaligned with the front facing camera and had a glare when using the front facing camera so i did a fresh install with a 2nd glass panel. Second install went well and i am satisfied with their product, I too was very concerned with the loca flowing inside the front speakers so before both install i taped the front speaker with clear 3m tape. taped just to the very edge of the speaker and it prevented the loca to flow inside the speakers. The loca does stings when in contact with skin and face so be carefull. Excess loca will leak on the sides so i place the phone on a few sheets of paper table napkins to collect the excess loca as it flows out of the sides then I cured each end for 20 seconeds then cleaned the phone sides with wipes and alcohol. after cleaning i cure again for a couple of minutes. Also i used maybe 1 + 1/4 of the provided loca my reasoning was a bit more is better than it not reaching the edges of the glass. Also as a tip to removed the air bubbles on the edges, lift gently pass the bubble then apply a bit of pressure when pressing down so that the bubble will be pushed out. it seem if you do it too gently the bubble just stays in place. Hope this help. Using it for about a week now and no lifting yet. Will report back on how well this ages or if any lifting occurs after a few weeks. I am using a uag plasma case with no problem, I have a spigen slim armor that i like but I am afraid to use it for now as there are a few reports here of lifting when using the spigen slim armor.

This screen protector works well with the DBrand Grip, tiny gap between glass and bumper case, at least it's not constantly trying to lift the protector as opposed to some other slim fitting cases.

To ones with LOCA leaking, it could be that too much LOCA was included, when I applied mine 0 leaked out and 0 bubbles formed under the protector, this was my first try as well.

Hi, where to install this glass locally? Is this glass diamond matrix?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] def-g:
A really good idea is to have a plastic film on the glass. Part of the difficulty with installing the Glass is cleaning both the Phone screen and the protector and getting them both particle free.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Noted on that. We will see if we are able to get that on our tempered glass. Thanks for the suggestion.

Do we have any coupons floating around for the same.... Would like to get one ordered.... Can longer use the edge adhesive ones....
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] butterbeanmash:
Hi,

I've just received my tempered glass; I ordered just the glass as I have spare LOCA from the installation on a Pixel 2 XL that I returned. The screen protector is not the same as the original sent with all the kit that I first ordered - this has a film on the back and states that the adhesive is already on it. What is this please?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Hi there should not be having the adhesive on it. I believe it is just a protective film that is added on to protect the tempered glass from dust. Could you peel off that film and touch the center of the glass to see if it is sticky?

Thanks and do let us know :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] butterbeanmash:
Don't really want to do that since I'd like to use the screen protector without a fingerprint in the middle! Nevertheless, can you tell me what this screen protector is if it's not yours?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
We never had a full adhesive tempered glass for Google Pixel 2 XL in our inventory. Why not take a photo for me to at least see the glass?

Hard to make out anything from a description. And where did it state full adhesive by the way? Do let me know so I can help :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
P.S the fingerprint can be easily wiped away with the alcohol cleaning pad and the cloth

Really not that hard :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] butterbeanmash:
Great! Had I received an alcohol pad. Or anything else. This is what I got;
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] butterbeanmash:
Sorry, forgot to include this one:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] butterbeanmash:
This is most definitely not what I ordered - I have already had one invisShield with which I was delighted.

Please explain what I have, why I have it, and if I can get the genuine article sent to me asap.

I was under the impression that your service was second to none.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
This is the correct one. What is your order number? If I am not wrong, you should have ordered only the glass right?

Never mind let me check for you on what you ordered.

Don't bother about the packaging. We use this generic packaging for all our glass. Of you see the sticker stated 1 on the glass, it means that there is a protective film on it so you can just tear it off and continue with the installation using the LOCA.

Let me know your order number and I can check if you ordered the set or the glass only :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] butterbeanmash:
Hi. Thanks for the reply. I ordered only the glass, not the kit so this must be correct then.

Which leads me to one final question - why do you say you'll look into putting a protective film on the glass in the full kit (as requested by someone a few posts back) when you're telling me you already do this?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
That is because there are some batches with this protective layer and some batches without. Which is why we are hoping to standardize this aspect of our product so it either all comes with the protective layer or it does not.

We are in discussions with our supplier on this but due to some reasons we can't get it all the same across all models. :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Cowbell_Guy:
Any free shipping codes or anything else out there?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] rohit25:
Yeah would be interested in those as well
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] pemz82:
I just installed a replacement, initially the LOCA had arrived leaked everywhere. SGFreshIdea where kind enough to ship out some replacement LOCA. This time they arrived in far superior cannisters with tight fitting screw lids and stronger plastic walls. No leaking this time! Thanks.

I received a glass with the peelable protective film. Far better than my first attempt that meant having to clean both phone glass and rear of the glass protector. That just increased the chances of dust. The installation this time was perfect. No leakage into speakers even though I had bubbles in 3 corners. I used the cure one corner technique to allow gently lifting each corner until the bubble disappears.

Very happy with my latest application. Would recommend this protector. You just need to be patient and gentle with the fitting.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] SomeWhoCallMeTim:
Bought this awhile back and was waiting for my amFilm to get enough dust underneath it before attempting the install. This morning decided to try and it went well. The installation video was helpful, although I wasn't sure how long to cure things until I watched a review video. I had three small bubbles in three corners but followed the video on getting rid of bubbles (cure the good side for 10 seconds, then move on to the others one by one, lift carefully and let it down carefully) and it all worked great. Not sure how long I spent but probably about 30 minutes from start to finish including unpacking the box and putting things away.

Looks good. We'll see how it holds up. At first glance it seems to work well with my Caseology Parallax case, i.e. there seems to be sufficient clearance on all four sides.

Thinking of an order for this glass,since i have loca 2500 and uv light. But everytime i put it with cheap glasses i have such a thing.

Will i have the same story with this good glass you offer? Or any other people having such a problem?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Is your glass a full adhesive glass? Or loca based?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] FlatOutRU:
Its just a cheap one with adhesive on the edges. I peel it off,wipe with alcohol and do a regular loca installation. But this happens the 3rd time! So maybe its the glass...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
It could be the case. Try pushing the case against that area. See if the white area becomes bigger and when releasing it, the white area shrinks. If it does, it is the Casing that is causing the lift.

If it is not, could be the glass or the loca itself is not suitable for this application.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sc954rr:
Just ordered one of these. Hopefully works as good as video

Well remove it from your website, it's now 3 Jan and its still there false advertising, was going to buy one, now no.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jonstrong:
Unfortunately, the whole e-commerce scenario seems a bit sketchy, between delays, the "free shipping" that still isn't (although the site still promotes it), and my current experience: I was curious to see how the shopping cart reflects shipping and thought I'd start an order, but I can't get past page 1 in the shopping cart, where you add a shipping address. It's been frozen on that page for several minutes, despite repeated attempts.

The product appears potentially worth pursuing, but it's a concern in general doing direct e-commerce transactions half way around the world with an unknown vendor, and so far, the details don't appear to be hanging together very well.

Assuming you guys are serious about selling to this audience, I suggest doing what's possible to improve the experience and credibility.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Yeah this is the full adhesive type with black borders. It has been out since S8 days. In the past when we tested, there are 2 problems.

1. The sides may still have a line of air gap appearing as the adhesive is a hard adhesive but they may have improved on that.

2. The black borders at the sides may block the display slightly due to the opaque nature of the black borders.

Lastly, it won't look as nice with the black borders.

Having said that, it is worth a try :)

There are many products out in the market and different products suits different people.

If only it had proper cut outs for then proximity sensor. It looks like it's just transparent glass which we know with the 8.1 update it will not work; the phone will always think there is something covering the sensor.

I'm about to buy my phone, so looking to get a screen protector this week. How much is the shipping discount? Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] baqir.attiq:
Alright....... so i bought 2 invisible shield screen protectors with 2 applications of loca glue.

Background: I have applied 20+ dome glass screen protectors for my big family and colleagues and never had any installation failed/ bubbles/ scratch during installation.

I have seen a lot of videos for loca screen protectors installations. I even made DIY screen protector for essential PH-1 with regulare tempered glass and loca.

So i started with first screen protector. Cleaned my phone. Transfered loca from little container to screen and ensure that there were no micro bubles in the loca and carefully followed the instructions in the video for screen protector. Even after careful application, 6 micro bubbles formed and after trying everything i couldnt get them out. So i decided to cure the loca and remove the screen protector. After removing the protector, i thought i would Be able to use it after removing the cured loca glue according to sgfreshidea video but i just couldn't remove the loca from the screen protector so i decided to use the second screen protector and applied it. Micro bubbles formed once again but i was able to push all of them out except one and found one scratch on screen protector after cleaning it with wipe. I decided to keep the screen protector on and live with it as i spent $45+ and waited 10 days to get it.

Summary: i just want to say that i am truly and utterly disappointed with this product. The only reason I bought this one and not the dome glass was the screen coverage. I feel like i have wasted my money and my time on this.

Btw, this screen protector has dot matrix printed on it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] baqir.attiq:
Hi. Yes i did see the video and took all of the precautions. I have sent you email at the given address.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Polanker:
I ordered the screen protector kit and 11 days later I'm still waiting for it to be delivered. Once I receive it and apply it I will report back with my opinion of the product.

I was going to order some more loca glue and another screen protector for a family member's phone, but the high shipping cost and looooong shipping time means I will likely go with a Whitestone Dome glass now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Great waiting for the report :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] wpy:
Have just replaced the invishield with a dome glass tempered screen protector because of a crack after dropping my phone (thank u very much invisshield for doing its job).

My opinion is that the invisshield coverage is better. But the oleophobic coating on the dome glass is so so much better than the invisshield. My phone screen was a gross mess of oil and fingerprint with the invisshield even with the application of the supplied suppose oleophobic coating(it was just a dry piece of cloth it seemed) that i have to constantly wipe down. it is so much better now i hardly need to wipe down my phone screen with the downside of no full coverage. Cant have it all I guess :laugh:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Polanker:
I installed my InvisShield glass over the weekend.

The installation wasn't too bad but was much tougher than I expected it to be. Getting the glass aligned and the glue on the middle of the screen were the toughest part because it does not come with an alignment tray. Holding the glass over the phone with the sponge was also kinda flimsy to get right.

Anyway after some patience I was able to slowly get the glass over the phone and the glue spread to the whole phone after a few minutes. When I would carefully wipe the excess glue off the sides of the phone, it would push the glass protector around a bit so I had to constantly realign the glass after wiping the sides down.

Finally I cured the glue with the UV light. Then I cleaned the phone up after which I used the nano coating wipe on the glass which I'm not sure if it worked good because the nano wipe was just a small dry wipe.

Anyway some 2 days later with this glass screen protector on and I am pretty satisfied with it. The sensitivity and visibility of the screen are great and it feels very durable. I made a lot of mistakes with the installation but I feel it came out great save for a slight misalignment of the glass and a few bubbles towards the bottom of the screen.

Overall I give it a B- score. The cons are: long shipping time, expensive shipping price, no installation/alignment tray included.

I have 1 more phone to install a glass protector on so I will likely try out a whitestone dome to compare it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bublabla:
Hi.

I also tried to install these glass. I watched the videos before but i don't get a good result. I got two portions of loca from sg fresh idea but both times there were bubbles in the 4 corners. So I don't cure it.

Now i am out of loca..

Perhaps that's the reason why the whitestone dome glass is more flat. Just to prevent the bubbles in the corners.?

Anyway. Spend more than 40 dollars and be disappointed now..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bublabla:
No. Only the other pixel2xl videos. I tried to lift glass in the corners. But there always remains some smaller bubbles.

I could try a third time. But I don't have any loca left..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bublabla:
Ok. Will give a try.

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] FlatOutRU:
Here i am with a review of this product!

Like all off you i`ve read all comments and watch every video before buying this glass. Was amazed by its coverage and a little curvage.

I can say that there is no real competitor this glass. Whitestone? It's coverage just aroung the screen... It looks awful!

Got my glass protector , installed it and found an issue. It didnt have a coverage of an oleophobic coating on a small part.

Hands down the customer service were very kind and they sent immediatly a replacement piece! Shipped as fast as the original one.

Installation is pretty average for a loca glass.

First one i`ve ended with a 2 micro bubbles and looked like it has a dot matrix. The glass is very thin that's why its durability is pretty low on edges. That's disadvantage of this glass.

Had a crack because of hit with my headphones on a side.

Second installation went perfect! No bubbles at all! No issues at all and now i really enjoy it.

A few tips from youtube helped me a lot! Take a look at video about getting rid of bubbles at corners.

Here's my final result:

So once it gets here Monday, I had to choose 1 - 3 day shipping as I can not wait, I will be trying it out with an otterbox defender which hopefully doesnt lift it on the edges. I also bought a Spigen rugged armor case just to be double sure

Hi,

i can also recommend the customer support and the glass itself.

Ive tried a second time with new loca and the result is great. No bubbles at all. The glass covers the whole front. great.

You used the glass again after curing? I have bubbles on the right hand edge after curing ... Was still impressed that's the only place I got aor bubbles lol ..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] 1000moths:
Removal!

First let me say I LOVE this screen protector, it's the only one i've tried that comes close to being "perfect".

However i recently ordered two more glasses and some LOCA to replace the one I had installed due to it cracking.

The old one peeled off without issue, i applied the new one and we're good to go. Until it also cracked. Not sure how, phone wasn't dropped but a hairline crack appeared right across the middle.

I tried to remove the protector only to find that this time it didn't want to peel off! Tried multiple times but it would just shatter and fragment at the edges. After a few hours trying with pure alcohol and a plastic spuder i gave up.

Had to take the phone to a shop and have them remove it, it took them over an hour with a heat gun and solvents to remove.

Now i have one spare to fit but am a little reluctant. Did you guys have a different batch of LOCA?
