I had my last protector crack within minutes of install and curing. I couldn't get it off either. I figured maybe it was because I was trying to remove the glass soon after installation and the loca was too fresh or something. The only thing that worked to get it off was a razor. The same razor I use to scrape off burnt on stuff on my glass top range. It worked well but I was pretty worried until I came up with that solution. Similar to this, https://www.amazon.com/Peachy-Stovetop-Scraper-Glasstop-Stoves/dp/B01BE2NJJG .

I love these protectors but have went through a bunch of them due to one bad install, two with tiny bubbles I didn't see until after curing, and finally one cracked right after install due to a small drop. So now I just use a full coverage wet install plastic screen protector and don't mind it at all surprisingly. It fits perfecty with my Pitaka case and you can't even tell there's a protector there.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] 23Six:
Who is your screen protector from?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] henderjr:
I had to look when I got home. Still have one left.

http://www.iqshield.com/iq32408-google-pixel-2-xl-phone-screen-protector.html

Used a hair drier to get it to stick on the curves. Worked really well.

I truly did like the sgfreshidea protector. One lasted me a few months. Just shipping times and cost are prohibitive.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
if you are sending me an invoice on paypal then USD.

if you are sending me a link to make me pay by CC then SGD.

make it valid for 2 weeks thanks

any special deals for local buyers? no harm asking am i right :) haha

i have a question, i dropped my phone a few days ago, and suffered some scratches, would the scratches be enhanced with this kind of application? can the loca adhesive pass through probably to avoid air bubbles?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Hyflex:
Ordered one, I'll see how it is. Bare in mind delivery will likely be 20+ days for me so don't expect a reply/review from me any time soon :P
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] MasK:
I ordered 1 yesterday too.

All the best to us! :good:

Since I'm from Singapore, I ordered one last week on Friday in the hope that this would be a great product available locally and could be highly recommended to even overseas buyers to bite the bullet on the overseas shipping. Wanted to do this as unbiased as possible so didn't even ask for special prices to review it.

Gotta say I'm really disappointed with the lack of proper services and updates to the buyers though. Since the order was made, there's been zero updates as to the shipping tracking information (paid for shipping with tracking) or any updates to stock availability/delays. Tried calling the number stated on the website and that phone's perpetually off. Just as a comparison, I ordered WSD for one of my other phones the week before, and even though it had to be shipped from Korea, it arrived within a week from my order.

Not sure how the review will ultimately go since I've got half a mind to cancel now, but it's definitely started off on the wrong foot here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kiwi45:
Same here, ordered last week but status stays at processing...no further update. Can't find any option to cancel the order as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
[MENTION=8634819]whiteangelcl[/MENTION] I ordered on the 26th of December. Got my shipping email on the 3rd of January. My order status on your website says completed. But there is still no active tracking of the order. Either the tracking number that was given to me is rubbish or the item simply hasn't been sent yet. Which is it?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] noranyan:
I placed my order on Dec 30 and the store just mailed me that the items have been shipped.

There's a tracking number for Singpost in the mail and I can track the shipment with it.

As of this moment I have only praise with the service of the shop.

I asked if my order has been shipped because I want to add a piece of tempered glass and they gave me the glass plus an extra shot of LOCA for FREE. :D

Communication was smooth and they replied mails promptly.

I plan to write a brief review afterwards but I fear that the free gift will make it a biased one. :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
That line is meant for the whatsapp communication which is why we always suggest that we get a whatsapp. We do apologize if there is any miscommunication in this area and we will definately improve on that.

Do drop us a whatsapp and let us assist you on this. As you are in Singapore, maybe we can even offer some assistance in the installation for you :)

Drop us a message and let us help.

Thanks

If you have yet to read my review on this item, please do so. After getting it installed properly, it's working like a charm.

here, a teaser picture for you.

[IMG="InvisShield"]https://i.imgur.com/pPD4dNk.png[/IMG]
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] quirrelicious:
Hmm, not sure how the store goes about fulfilling orders then since I ordered on the 29th, paid for more expensive shipping with Singpost Smartpac, and yet no confirmation of order being shipped with tracking number.

Anyway, will whatsapp them and update once I hear back from them!

Update: whiteangelcl replied me over whatsapp pretty quickly and I will be receiving my order (together with an additional glass and loca glue) on Monday. Thanks! Was also informed that there will be a new video up on Monday on installation for the Pixel 2 XL for a better guide for those doing self-installation.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] milestone2mod:
Any chance of re-stock? Also, would you ship to Germany?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Hi we are pending for stock to come in next week. We will be shipping out another batch this Monday and also provide the tracking numbers to those customers that has already been shipped. If there are any that emailed us for a refund please rest assured that as long as the item has not been shipped we will do so and send you an email on it.

Cheers and happy new year to everyone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] milestone2mod:
Is it possible to have a pack of multiple screen glasses and LOCA packs bundled with one UV-applicator? Or, otherwise, is it possible to re-order the glass and LOCA pack solely?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
Here's my feedback & review on the InvisShield.

The tempered glass coverage extends beyond the side bezels and all the sides are slightly curved, so swiping along the edges feels very natural. This is the main selling point of this screen protector because WhiteStone's version doesnt have the curves, its just flat out covering the screen portion.

(I was anticipating for whitestone's but was just utterly disappointed that they took the easier route. Their protectors for galaxy and ipX are still the best in the market though.)

Another very important point i wanna highlight is that my screen condition was far from perfect as i drop it on the road at about 1 meter height and it have kinda deep scuffs and suffered micro as well as visible pocket scratches. After pasting this loca based invisShield, i could barely see any of the cosmetic defects under the screen protector. It gave new life to my 2xl!

InvisShield is not ur typical simple to apply screen protector, but if you do it properly, its just beautiful and seems flushed with a thin case (at least for me). Luckily i live where OP is based and he offered to apply the InvisShield for me

there may be some fibres stuck between the gaps after some time but its easier to wipe it all away with a wet cloth.

If u are looking for full screen adhesive protector, this is the best option yet and i highly recommend u to get it. The tempered glass may look thick from the pictures but trust me its not. its the same as other glass protectors.

Note: i am not paid or offered free product and service to give any biased opinion.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kbroh:
Looks like it's not flush at the top right side of the phone (just reviewing your picture) .... I see a slight gap. Any opinion?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] gogol:
I can see the top right is not flushed, there is gap there, no?

And how is it with the front camera and proximity because they are covered by the glass.

Man, I hate fibers or whatever stuck in the "gaps" as you mentioned :(

I will wait another reviews regarding this gaps because it looks NOT OK.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
well the glass protector is being held on by the loca adhesive so technically yes there is gap on a micron level which is not visible by just our eyes, glass has thickness and along with the curvatures it may seem like its not flush but it is to its best limit.

Front cam and proximity are not covered.. there are cutouts.. so no issues so far.

About the fibres, i really depends on how u keep ur phone, in my case its easily wipe off just by my fingers and i only had to do it occasionally. Like i said, its the best yet, i dont think there will be any manufacturers out there who is going make a real full cover.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Tehpdub:
When are you guys going to restock your screen protectors?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Hi wwr are waiting for stock to come in most likely by next Monday.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] teeraash:
Hi guys, I would like to know whether your Invisshield tempered glass comes with plastic/film seal on the adhesive side or not. Mine does not have the seal and plenty of micro scratches which can be seen when I carefully scrutinize the glass. Sgfreshidea promises to ship me the new glass plus 2 loca once they restock in about a week. I may experiment using the loca (as I still haven't used any of them) on other tempered glass such as amfilm to see if I can get good result or not. Basically I'll apply loca to edge-sticky glass tempered. Should be interesting.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
If you want to try applying to a edge adhesive type remember 1 thing, it has to be fully clear or the black sides will not allow UV light to shine through and you will not be able to cure the LOCA underneath :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] teeraash:
I've beautifully installed my invisshield protector. The trick is lot and lot of practice. I went through almost 10 practices with distilled water. Water is even more difficult to have it spread evenly all over the screen as loca has better "flow" property. If u can do it with water u won't likely having any problem with loca.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Haha congrats. Post some photos here if you can :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Nekromantik:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] lionheart3:
for me this was a total waste, tried and failed twice to get a decent install. the more i tried to fix it the worse it got, now im out of glue and cannot try again, yes i watched the videos but it seemed to me to be a 1 chance per bottle thing either it works great or you out of luck
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Tehpdub:
I tried the whitestone and messed up twice lol.. and then when I tried cleaning it , it scratched . I was like wtf.. I thought it was not supposed to not scratch as easy. so im going to try this one, plus i like the idea the camera is cutout.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Hyflex:
Sellers from Singapore who are on various websites including eBay and Amazon somehow are able to do free delivery to the EU regardless of the price of the product. How come you can't?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
It's always about profit margin and shipping. We can offer free shipping at a higher product price. When it comes down to business it's only how it is arranged.

By the way, not to worry, we are tying up with DHL and we will be offering a 50% discount off shipping very soon.

Stay tune and thanks for your feedback.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ni4rkx:
Could you send me a message when you get stocks back ? And just to make sure, is it possible to ship to France ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
By the way yes we do ship to France. Thanks for checking
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ni4rkx:
Thanks. I did reply you in a private message
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Hyflex:
You didn't my message correctly, there are sellers from Singapore who are able to offer free shipping regardless of the price of the product, I can buy items from the likes of eBay and Amazon from Singapore and even of the product only costs $2 they are able to offer free delivery.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Got it and replied you back.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
In that case, we do apologize but we really can't understand their business model :) thanks for letting us know about this though and perhaps one day we can figure out how they do it and still keep their business afloat.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Domosan:
So I just received my InvisShield. The packaging is nothing fancy but definitely has a lot of items compared to normal black forehead and chin "adhesive" tampered glass.

[IMG="packaging"]https://imgur.com/Jel4Ufi.jpg[/IMG]

Placed the tampered glass on my naked Panda for sampling before applying LOCA solution. The cutting for ambient sensor and front camera is very smooth and there are no sharp edges on the sides as well.

I am particular picky on tampered glass but this proven to be worth the buck for almost "covered" glass.

As for the application of LOCA, can refer this tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq3_K3XECs0)

The process takes about 10 minutes or more depends if the glass are unaligned with the front camera. For my case, it just smoothly but I had to adjust abit to clear the bubbles.

After applied LOCA solution.

with Ringke slim case. It doesn't obstruct the case edges and nicely bevel with the lips of the case.

The glass was smooth after applied Nanocoating (hydrophobic) and so far no problems on the screen.

The installation was fairly moderate even it doesn't provide the installation tray like WhiteStone. Just follow the tutorial and you are good to go.

Definitely a good deal for LOCA based adhesive tampered glass. However, I found there are micro dots on the glass. Perhaps it is matrix dot?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] aznriceballman:
Where are you located?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Domosan:
Malaysia.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jonstrong:
Are the dots visible at all once you've applied the LOCA and glued down the screen protector?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Domosan:
Before application of LOCA i can see the dots. i cant even see the dots on full brightness or screen off after it cured.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Hyflex:
Maybe you just haven't looked into all of the postage routes.

Have you looked into selling on AliExpress, I know most of their sellers sell from China and their postage costs are subsidised, thus allowing them to ship things out dirt cheap.

I assume you are getting your screen protectors manufactured in China right?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Yupz we are getting the tempered glass portion from China however we have to repackage it back in Singapore

We looked into Singpost which is our national postal service, FedEx, UPS, TNT and also DHL. Other than DHL whom we are waiting for them to set up an account the rest costs almost Sgd40 or around USD 30 per 350g shipment.

It's crazy.

Can't think of any other shippers that may have cheaper rates. If anyone has any to suggest, we will be glad to look into them.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Hyflex:
Maybe ship directly from China then, they can subsidise the postage costs.

I know I couldn't care about what the packaging looks like.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sc954rr:
Just received and installed my invisshield. First and foremost watch and study all installation videos on thier website more then once as it's definitely not the easiest I have ever installed but the end result is outstanding espicially with the ringole case. I messed up the first install with an air bubble but after cleaning everything and watching the video for the 20th time plus having it playing/paused as I installed the second time it went pretty smooth except one small bubble but was able to get out by lifting corner slightly to let LOCA re settle. [MENTION=8634819]whiteangelcl[/MENTION] the only thing I wasn't sure of which didn't show in video was how long to leave the UV light on each section so I went with 30seconds per section twice. Other then that it's an amazing fit especially with the curved edges, no touch problems or sensor issues...it's.like using you phone with a naked screen, highly recommended product.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] aznriceballman:
Where are you located and how did the shipping log update look?

Is there a dot matrix on the glass like other people indicated? Is it visible after its been cured?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sc954rr:
I am located in US in New Jersey. Shipping took about 14days from when I placed my order. However singpost website just says "arrived at destination country US" on 1/11/18 and all the sudden USPS dropped it off 1/17/18, so I was surprised. No there is no visible dot matrix when cured, it's like using just plain screen. The only time I saw the dots on the screen protector was holding it up to the light before I put it on when I making sure it was dust free.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] aznriceballman:
Hmmm. Mine still says Despatched to overseas (Country code: CA). Hopefully it'll be here soon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sc954rr:
Hopefully. When did you order? Mine said that samething on 1/9 then then on 1/11 it posted arrived at destination post US. Then it showed up today at doorstep which surprised me cause there was no more updates after the 1/11 update
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] aznriceballman:
I ordered on dec 26 and then got my tracking number on jan 3 and its been on dispatched since jan 4.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] avatar_mike:
I can confirm that that are dot matrix on the glass, but they are not visible anymore after application, no matter how hard I tried to look for them. So don't worry about it :o
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Hi there. Please don't worry about it. Singpost similarly to other postal service only allow us to check after the 18th business day so we are unable to put an inquiry through to their portal.

Please give it a little more time and I am sure it will reach safely. If it happens to be lost, please don't worry as we will take full responsibility and reship the item to you. But we do need time for it to reach you so please do bear with us on this.

Thanks so much
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] conyey:
when are you getting this back in stock. I've been waiting a while.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] gogol:
So, this screen protector has dot matrix as you confirmed :(

Even though it is not visible after application, that doesn't mean they are not there, isn't it?

Well then ...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
The dot matrix is the layer of film that is preventing the glass from shattering on impact. The main reason why people do not like dot matrix is because it shows up on usage.

The LOCA in this instance will cover up any dot matrix from appearing. Hope this clarifies things.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
So, I finally received my package today. I must say I'm impressed with the packaging & the contents. I don't think anyone should be complaining about the price to be honest. Customised packaging like that costs money, (even if the package the actual glass comes in is the actual manufacturer's packaging), the Loca bottles (3 of), the light, 2 x glass, all the prep materials and cleaning cloths. All of this adds up & a company has to turn a profit after all. You still get a lot more for your money than from Whitestone.

Now let see how this thing applies...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Good luck and glad that you have received it. Do let me know if you need any assistance
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
Thank you. I shall. And I'm looking forward to that coupon code "in case" I ever need another of these things.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
View the YouTube video a few more times. I am constantly improving the application process and when something new comes up will update in a new video.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
Just finished fitting this thing. Pretty good. Only got 2 tiny bubbles that wouldn't come out, but they're barely noticible. Overall very satisfied.

Only thing I noticed was, the nano coating wipe seemed dry. I wiped it on anyway, but it was like wiping some sort of cream onto the screen, that made it hazy. Is it supposed to be like that?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Haha I got that response from many customer. I feel that the Nano Coating does not have the wow factor we wanted.

It is more like a waxy piece of wipe. It applies a layer of waxy Coating on the screen to make it feel smoother. We are considering changing that portion but have yet to find a better alternative.

Glad your installation went well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
This is the stuff you want. Expensive though.

https://m.ebay.com.au/itm/Fusso-Sma...117730&hash=item4414cbf668:g:ggoAAOSwsABaWX29
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sc954rr:
How.long did you use the UV light for on each section as it doesn't mention anywhere? I did about 30seconds
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
30 sec. Then clean the protector & edges of the phone with alcohol. Then cure for a couple of minutes each half. More is better. It would take hours to ruin the stuff.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] plokm:
How does this glass compared to other 3D glass with the black border? In the sense of size? Would you say probably same manufacturer but they got it without the black border and hard glue?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] knightsh:
Back in stock. Just placed my order.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] williamn:
Also - why is tax being collected for deliveries to the US? Even in the US, if you're not based out of the same originating state, sellers usually do not collect it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
Is there an option wrong? We do not collect tax. It is all inclusive. Let me check the product settings.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] blueescalade88:
I am having a little confusion with the order, it shows the "set" for $23.37 and that includes all that is listed but when I make the required selections it adds $6.03 for the UV light and brings the total to $29.40. So what is the true total cost for the package?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
We decided to move in this direction to offer more flexibility to customers.

Some may want 2 pieces of glass, some may want 5 applications of loca, some may need the UV light. Some may not.

So we use the basic set which includes

1x Glass

2x LOCA

No UV light

All misc accessories

And this forms the base price.

So with each option you add, you add on a little more depending on what you need.

In this way, users can choose what they need
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Tehpdub:
Ordered mine cant wait, just nervous about the install.. anyways someones going to be busy with shipments today! :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Domosan:
Nope I didn't use any black border 3D glass. It wouldn't be the same as this InvisShield is not 100% covered till the curved edges. While the black border does.

I terms of size, InvisShield glass covered like almost 95% while leaving a slight gap between both sides for case compatibility.

Refer to my attachment, it does looks like covered 100% after I slap on my Ringke case.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whiteangelcl:
By the way just for everyone info, this has been settled. It was a default setting in our Magento 2 platform and we have removed that. Thanks William for spotting that error.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sc954rr:
What about for people who ordered and installed already?
