Hello everyone, I am the one that was giving props to BARE PANE TGSP. I will have to wait for my new one to come in. I had an accidental drop on my device and only damaged the screen protector.

But,...I have a decent full adhesive from Amazon. Fits great and not to shabby of a black border. I will leave you all a link to it on Amazon. I am very surprised and love the quality of this TGSP.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] in_dmand:
I just got the otao and yeah, it's pretty decent and it is full adhesive which is good. But I am getting a halo on one side and it doesn't fit with my tech 21 case unless I modify the case (which I did). It also has some touch sensitivity issues.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Face_Plant:
How's the Elbase protector working for you? Any issues fitting with your case (if you have one)? I'm in the market for a new screen protector and am considering this one, but before buying it I'd like to get some trustworthy feedback from an XDA member. I don't trust the reviews on Amazon....

How would you compare PANE to OTAO?

I got my Pane three weeks ago, but only managed to apply on my P3XL today. Experience so far has been quite positive, installation is easy, no sensitivity issue, touch is nice, coverage is good, case compatibility is also good. So far tested compatible with Rhinoshield Solidsuit, UAG Plyo, Caseology Vault. I still have a few other cases (UAG Monarch, Spigen Neo Hybrid, Imak Airbag & Moko) in office, I'll test the compatibility when back in office next Monday.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
No major comparison. Just the best for the price value. Cheap and expensive, the best of both of them.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] ycneosg:
I found the smudge resistant of PANE was not as good as WSD at first, but after using for 1 day I found it getting better, anyway this is definitely not a deal breaker, it can be cleaned easily. One good of PANE over WSD is I'm not seeing dust/lint stick to the edges of glass, my phone looks clean all time.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
I have been rocking the OTAO TGSP for a week now. I really like this glass. For the price, this has to be the best. The fit, install, case friendly so far. I have not tried my UAG case yet. But so far so good. Here is link for it.

Don't get me wrong, the PANE TGSP by BARE is so far the best full adhesive non liquid TGSP. I order two PANE TGSP, waiting for them to get here. But,...if you are strapped for money or looking for a temporary glass try OTAO. I am sure you will like this glass. Here is a link for BARE PANE TGSP.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] in_dmand:
I'm interested in the pane but if it's more edge to edge than the otao it won't be case compatible... The otao had issues with my tech 21 case which is a very precise and tight fitting case going only over the lip.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
I know what you mean, it is more case friendly than OTAO. I believe this PANE is great for all cases. While it is full coverage, it leaves room for high end cases. OTAO TGSP, the case I had issues with is my USG Monarch case. The edges lift up. That is why I am waiting on my PANE. I ordered two.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] in_dmand:
Awesome, curious on your thoughts after you get it in. Specifically on the halo /adhesion
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
I had a BARE PANE before the OTAO. I had dropped my device with the BARE on. I am using the OTAO for a temp. And the OTAO is not bad at all, better than most of the TGSP out there. I have ZERO Halo on both BARE and OTAO.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] ycneosg:
I've tested BARE PANE on total of 7 cases, namely the UAG Plyo, UAG Monarch, IMAK Airbag Shockproof, Spigen Neo Hybrid, OBLIQ Flex Pro, Caseology Vault Series & Rhinoshield SolidSuit (I still have a Moko TPU case, but I've somehow misplaced it). Spigen Neo Hybrid is the only that is not compatible with the BARE PANE.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] ShadowDragon:
So I ordered a BARE PANE and it stuck really well, pretty painless to put on. However it cuts off parts of the screen, and is too soft, little specs are now getting imbedded in the outside of the pane, and it's just cracked randomly so now I go searching for another brand.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
I am sorry that has happen to you. But,...I have had mine for about a month and a half with no issues.

I dropped my device at work. I work at an airport so, nothing is soft. When fell it broke but it was from a good height. Over my head. All that happened was the BARE broke.

I have two more on the way. I have a temp on.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] thacounty:
I tried the Mr Shield with LOCA, the Elebase, and now the OTAO. The OTAO is the easiest to install, best coating, and best overall protector I've used so far on the 3XL.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
These are my pics of my P3XL with OTAO TGSP from Amazon. I promised to put them up. As soon as I get my BARE PANE TGSP,...I will post picks of them installed. I posted a couple of links in a few posts back. Sorry, noticed some blurry pics it was taken with a crappy Galaxy S9.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] in_dmand:
I also ordered the pane, the free shipping takes 1-2 weeks so it won't be here for a bit but I'll report back
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] nomisunrider:
How many pixels does the bezel on the edge of the OTAO cover up?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] smallsmx301:
2
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] TheInVisibleGoD:
Installed a Bare Pane on my 3 XL and just realized the black borders are too big covering a few pixels all around the screen... wtf!?

Touchscreen sensitivity is also noticeably degraded!

It is really a shame, the installation was perfect and now I will have to remove it and look for another option!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] zetsumeikuro:
Do you have a picture of how much it's covering by chance?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] TheInVisibleGoD:
Too late, just took it out! Got me crazy enough after noticing it that I just had to remove it!

How much covers the screen? Try to play the game "Ballz" and when the ball falls exactly on the bottom left or right, you can't see the ball anymore...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] ycneosg:
The ball disappears on my other devices use or not using any screen protector. When the ball disappears, just take a screenshot if you can see the ball in the screenshot, if you can't then it is not the problem of the screen protector.

Yes, PANE does covers a couple of pixels from the left and right side, but that doesn't affect the usage at all.

You can see the difference in the attachment below, compare the covered area against the device screenshot.

[image 1] : taking the Pixel 3 XL device screen on another device.

[image 2]: screenshot of Pixel 3 XL of the same screen as image 1

You can compare the above two images to understand how much of the left/right side it had cut off.

[image 3]: screenshot of Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 playing the same game, the ball 'disappered' from the screen too.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] in_dmand:
Do you notice any sensitivity issues after installing the pane?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] ycneosg:
I've no sensitivity issue. PANE is full adhesive, should not have issue sensitivity issue.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
Same here,...I have BARE PANE. No issues on my side. I am very happy with my purchase.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] jeff0078:
Which tech21 do you have? I have the Evo Check and am hoping the Pane will fit.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] in_dmand:
I have the same... But I modified mine by grinding a little away from the lip so I'm afraid I won't be able to help you figure out if it will fit. My pane should be here this week.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] jeff0078:
Thanks. Please post an update once you get it if you can. I already have one on the way and it would be helpful to know if I should line up another case.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] ffuser1:
I ordered a bare pane and it cracked while pulling it off of its packaging. Customer service won't do anything about it. Beware
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
Should tell them it came broken.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] TraderJack:
Asking again as I need to order a new protector.

I'm partial to the flexible water-based install protectors and specifically looking for one that covers the entire screen with cutouts for all applicable parts.

As an example:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JCR36Y9/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

The above is what I have installed now, but not a huge fan at all because:

a) It doesn't stick well on the edges, especially with my case and I have to keep pushing it down.

b) there is virtually no oleo coating and with the material it is a total fingerprint magnet. I've always had issues with fingerprints with these types of protectors, but this one seems especially bad.

Can anyone recommend one like this they are happy with?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] TraderJack:
So I went ahead and ordered the OTAO as I wasn't really getting anywhere with my preference of film based protectors and the OTAO was getting such good feedback here.

To be fair, I have never used Tempered Glass protectors before. I will say that sensitivity seems fairly good in the few minutes I have played with it since installing, but here are my complaints:

1) Heavy. I can definitely feel the difference with the protector on. I didn't weight protector alone beforehand, but it had a heft to it and I can definitely feel that holding the phone.

2) Removes most of the lip my case provided. My case had a pretty good top lip to protect the screen when laid screen sized down. That generous lip was cut to almost nothing. There is still some space there, but it is probably more like a hair's width, and maybe not even a grain of sand. I realize that with the protector I don't need to worry about scratching my actual screen, but if the protector gets scratched (which is more likely than the high quality glass of the phone), I'll have to be replacing it. This is probably an issue with all tempered glass protectors, though this one may be thicker/heavier than most (?)

3) My biggest issues though were that the backside of the protector (the one with the adhesive actually had some debris on the back from the factory. I was able to remove all of it either using air or by using the included sticky tape to dab it off the back. There was one larger particle however that required me running my fingernail across the back of the sticky tape in order to get it to grab the particle. When I pulled it away it took the particle but also took a very small piece of the back adhesive. So I have a little ring of missing adhesive which is clearly visible (especially to me since I know where to look) on an otherwise unblemished top. I have e-mailed OTAO and I hope they will make good in sending me another one as this was definitely a factory defect.

4) Also, this protector (like all the others) does not adhere well to the left and right (long) edges of the phone.

You can see both my issues highlighted in red on the attached pic. The imperfection is the small box and if you look at the long box highlighting the edge you can see it is lighter than the rest. This is because it doesn't adhese well there. Now - with my case on and the phone screen lit up, this is barely noticeable. However I think I will notice it more when the screen is dark (like when I am watching movies with darker scenes, night mode, etc). I'm not sure how much it will bother me yet and if it also has any practical issues like dirt getting trapped in or simply allowing it to slowly separate even more so.

I'm not sure the $8 I paid is worth more than the $1 I usually pay for a film (wet-install) protector. For now I'm happy because at least my one corner isn't bubbling/peeling and it does seem to deal with fingerprints better, but we will see over time.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] jeff0078:
Did you get your Pane yet? :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
You should send it back.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] TraderJack:
OTAO has responded and they are sending a replacement screen.

To be honest, I hardly notice the flaw when the screen is lit, but still I shouldn't have to deal with a brand new protector that came with stuff flaked on it.

I've only had it on a couple of days, and since I have been dealing with flattening my film protector's peeling corner multiple times a day and not having to deal with horrible smudges I'm liking it.

I don't know if I'll decide to keep it over long term, but I'm going to give it a chance for a bit.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] in_dmand:
Yeah got it in yesterday finally (the free shipping takes about 3 weeks literally). Oleophobic coating seems decent, and it works fine with my modded case, but I do have a halo on one side of the screen unfortunately.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] jeff0078:
Thanks, do you think it would've still worked if you hadn't modded the tech case?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] jeff0078:
Lol the same ****ing thing just happened to me. The protection on the back was fused to the glass, like I couldn't fricking remove it. Start using some force and it starts to crack.

Did I do something wrong or what?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
Do you have it aligned right? I have a perfect install. No halo.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] in_dmand:
Probably not

Yes, it's aligned perfect, at least, the top and bottom cutouts are perfect. My guess is that there is a tolerance on the actual pixel 3 xl screen face so that's why some have issues and others don't with tgsp's. I've had issues with every tgsp I've tried except the sg fresh idea tgsp but that was so edge to edge it wouldn't work with any cases.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] pside15:
I wasn't going to get a screen protector but I just got a feeling recently that I should probably get one. I was looking at the BARE PANE as an option until I saw this post as I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid, which I absolutely love. Is there a TGSP you or anyone would recommend for this specific case?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] ycneosg:
You can consider Nillkin H+Pro for the Spigen Neo Hybrid, if you don't mind the slightly narrower design, this is to ensure no halo when applied. The quality of the TGSP is good, and it is compatible with all my cases.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] jeff0078:
Bare responded back to me and pretty much admitted that they have issues with the protective back sticking to the glass. They shared a video of how to remove it properly and of course it's exactly what I did. Unfortunately the two were completely bonded together. I can't recommend it unless you can afford to wait 3 weeks to get what could be a faulty product (and another 3-4 weeks to get a replacement).
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
Sorry, your going through this crap. Hope you find a resolution. I have not one issue.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] driss.sadok:
UPDATE

I've tried many screen protectors, but this one on Aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5D-...ml?spm=a2g0o.cart.99999999.266.200c3c00qLA1iY is the best ever. even the price is so ridiculously cheap comparing to the high quality, i use it for two months ago and it did still new. highly recommended !!!! check the reviews and you will see the result.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] zetsumeikuro:
Full adhesive and not dot matrix? I looked at review but it didn't seem to mention that.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] driss.sadok:
Full adhesive ;) it looks just like the original screen (without the protector)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
Do you have any pictures?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] driss.sadok:
Here
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
Looks really good. And case friendly.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] driss.sadok:
Bad photos quality i took with Oneplus 3, so it surely looks better ;)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] noliat:
Damn... 30-50 days estimated delivery time. Guess I'll continue to use the elebase while I wait lol.

Also, does the black border block off edges of the screen like all the others?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] driss.sadok:
No, you can see the whole screen. And it's slightly smaller than the screen in a comfortable way from the outside of edges (same size between the screen and the frame) , which makes the sands impossible to in.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] sanjsrik:
$44 is a bit steep for a screen protector isn't it?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] TraderJack:
So, update to my post about the OTAO.

I mentioned (and showed pics) of it not adhering well around one edge. Well it has started to separate even more you can see what it looks like after like 2 weeks:

Also, the oleographic coating seems almost gone. I was really happy after moving from my wet install protector which was a magnet for fingerprints because the OTAO seemed so much better, but over the last few days I find me having to wipe my phone off constantly.

I also realized that the protector does block the very edges of the screen. It is very minimal, I happened to notice it in TWRP, where the basic design has the text going to the very edge of the screen, the first letter in the word was cut off almost completely.

I'm not really sure at this point what the fuss was about these being so good. TBF, nothing in this price range is any better, but these certainly aren't anything to write home about.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
That is your case pushing the glass up. It could be the case. Or your not totally center.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] TraderJack:
It does it even when it is out of the case. Plus, one of the draws of the OTAO is that it came with an alignment tool.

So, in either case - whether the alignment tool is no good, or whether it is not case friendly (neither of which I believe is the problem...but if it were...) then that is just another reason why its not so great :/
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] sanjsrik:
Whichever one you are referencing, aliexpress shows it as a page not found.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
it's working for me
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] froader:
Link works for me and looks pretty nice, however how is a case supposed to also be used? Any first hand experience?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
I just received my shipment. I ordered 5 of these screen protectors. I just installed a fresh protector. I had a very easy install. It is completely full adhesive. This is exactly the same as BARE PANE tempered glass,...but fraction of the price. I got 5 for $18.36, shipped. BARE PANE was $43.67 shipped. I am very happy with my purchase. Pics are coming.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] driss.sadok:
Perfect ? i am happy you like my suggestion :) me it was cheaper in shipping i paid 1,28 $
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
I recommend it to anyone who has a P3XL.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] coremark:
Thanks for the recommendations guys. I've been reading this thread for awhile. I just ordered 3 of them to try it out.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] noliat:
I can vouch for that AliExpress screen protector. Ordered 2 of them about 2 weeks ago, and it arrived today, which is really fast for AliExpress. No issues applying the protector, and it fits perfectly. The black borders still cut off a bit of the screen all around, but it is the best glass protector right now. It's similar to elebase and bare in design, but fits better and is case friendly. And no notch cutout like the otao. Overall very very satisfied, especially considering the price. This is definitely the one to get.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] jeff0078:
BARE ended up sending me a replacement after I was unable to remove the protective back without busting the glass on my first order. I got it today, but I'm pretty happy with the OTAO currently and don't intend to replace it unless something goes wrong with it. The template that comes with the OTAO does wonders for my OCD as I can't seem to install anything good enough for my high standards haha.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] pside15:
Thanks for the replay I think I'm going to go with it to see how I like it. Judging by the picture of the one review on Amazon I don't think the slightly narrower design will bother me. Is there anything different with this one versus any other TGSP out there? It's just that that one review seemed to have a difficult time installing this one but implied he'd installed other kinds without issue.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] sanjsrik:
The reviews about this product on their website UNDER this product are just abysmal. I mean really bad reviews.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] sanjsrik:
I ordered this. It's ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. It comes with NO instructions. NO indication on how to install it. It DOES for some reason come with a 24-carat "gold plated" electromagnetic sticker???

The thing won't stay on the bottom half of my device. It's absolute and complete garbage. Waited a month for it to show up and I had to take it off because the entire bottom half of my screen is rendered unusable because I can audibly hear a click when I have to constantly press it down to re-stick to my screen. What garbage.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] driss.sadok:
this is the title :

5D Full Screen Protector for Google Pixel 3XL 3 XL Oleophobic Curved Tempered Glass For Google 3 XL 9H Protective glass film XL3

Actually it does feet perfectly my phone, it looks even better than the original screen.. but as i see on your screenshot it was difficult to install. but you should help with pushing the bubbles out the edges slowly from the source...

I think the product is very good as they have a rate of 4,8/5 on the website.

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

Go and double check, it's 4,8/5 :good:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] sanjsrik:
Do NOT buy these. They are absolute and complete garbage. I bought one and it showed up warped. Either the top half sticks or the bottom half does. The other part that doesn't audibly clicks when you press down on it because well, it's not ON the screen.

See all those fingerprints on the screen? That's from me constantly pressing down on it over and over again to keep it from popping off the screen. It's a completely useless screen protector and takes over a month to get here from China.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] sanjsrik:
What the hell do I care what someone I've never met says about something I have first-hand unusable knowledge about? This is garbage. Lasted me less than one day before I ripped it off because it was useless.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] noliat:
Don't want to be rude, but do you really need instructions to install a screen protector? Lol. Almost all tempered glass screen protectors apply the same way. The only way to mess this up is if you misaligned it, or it was defective. Both of mine that I bought for wife and I had no issues. And if you're using a case, it could be the case isn't screen protector friendly, or try and apply it with the case on. I'd suggest getting a refund and/or another one. Or buy OTAO since it comes with installation bracket.
