When I asked them for a refund for the original ones, they offered to send me revised one and I declined and just got refunded since I'm happy with the caseology ones with added loca.

I'm sure you won't need to send them back to get revised ones sent to you. Just contact them and tell them you're not happy with the poor fit.

Sent from my Pixel 3 XL
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Flyer66:
Sounds good. Thanks for advice! I'll contact them to see if they'll just send out the revised ones without a return.

FWIW.. I'm just waiting for Whitestone Dome to go live on their product for the 3XL. :) They said by the end of this month.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] masterxchief:
I think my Pixel 3 XL screen is just curved more around the edges. My first one (had to RMA due to some of that waterproofing glue sticking out a bit around the screen) was a lot better with TGSP. I tried a second one of the revised intelliarmor and it was just as bad so I went and put on the 2nd Caseology one I had. It looks equally as bad as the Intelliarmor but on my first P3XL it wasn't this bad. I am going to get a wet install one for now and definitely pick up the whitestone because it seems like I will need the glue big time to fill the gaps.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] :
Has anyone used loca on the Zagg glass protectors for the halo? I tried but the glue would not cure for me. I'm wondering if it's the light I used or the vision guard on the protector blocking the UV light.

Whitestone Dome, early December now

https://twitter.com/whitestonedome/status/1067790232941142016
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] TraderJack:
Can anyone give me some advice on what would be a really good protector in the sub $10 mark to do a LOCA glue install?

The Domes are too expensive for me, so I figure if there is a good full screen protector I can get and more fully secure it with the glue I can get protectors on 2 phones for $20-30 inclusive.

I've never tried the glue method before...I assume it will come off entirely if necessary?

Thanks for any advice.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] sid3track3d:
I got great results with Caseology + LOCA.

Used the code when it was available and got it for real cheap.

I've seen people say Mr.Shields with LOCA is good as well. At under $6 for 3 you can't go wrong.

Sent from my Pixel 3 XL
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] TraderJack:
It seems the Caseology has pretty bad reviews on Amazon..mostly due to the edges lifting. I assume the LOCA will alleviate this issue?

Also, there seem to be two kinds of protectors...one like the Caseology, and these:

https://www.amazon.com/TAURI-Google-Pixel-Case-Friendly-Anti-Bubble/dp/B07H1DKSJ3 (no black borders)

or

https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Case-Friendly-Tempered-Anti-Bubble-Anti-Scratch/dp/B07KLTPKYP (black borders)

I would think the latter ones were better because they protect more of the screen. What are their drawbacks?

Also...I assume it is relatively easy to remove LOCA? It does no lasting damage?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] sid3track3d:
Most if not all glass TGSPs for the 3XL has some lift. Caseology had minimal for me which LOCA fixed.

I just got in today which appears to be a 3rd revision to the intelliarmor glass. upon first look, I may not even bother to attempt to install it. It's notch cutout doesn't look good, and this time they have a bottom speaker cutout. Also doesn't appear to be totally case friendly with how tall it is it didn't sit flush on my phone screen without touching the case and lifting a little with a Spigen rugged armor on it. To me it's another failed attempt which is so disappointing because I've always loved their glasses in the past.

Excuse the poor pic this is more to give an idea what this attempt looks like. I may try to install it for s**ts and giggles, but I'm not sure. [MENTION=6689878]intelliARMOR[/MENTION]

Edit: I reached out to intelliarmor customer support again and they told me I unfortunately received an older version in place of what was supposed to be the revised version, and they are sending me another one which will hopefully be the correct model.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] y2grae:
I've moved away from glass and gone for the LK liquid skin screen protector.

It's like the old plastic ones, but has a wet application, dries overnight with no bubbles and is VERY case friendly

currently very happy with the results
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] coldconfession13:
I'm confused did you or did you not put it on. To me it seems it would fit in a case. I do have that same case as well.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] BenjRubenstein:
What LOCA did you order and how did you apply it (after protector put on or before?)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] dipstik:
after failing to install the amShield with all three of the protectors provided i decided to just have best buy install the zagg invisishield. they had to use two of them to get a good install (no wonder they are out of them so often) but there was a 0.5 to 1.5 mm halo which i quickly fixed using toothpick and olive oil (couldn't find wd40 i the garage). think the install is about 0.25 mm to the left too much but its case friendly (1 mm exposed on right and half mm on left). the top bottom alignment is biased towards the top, with around 0.5 mm of more space on the bottom, but it might have covered the speaker a bit if perfectly aligned. these dimensions are in relation to the case which is the spigen slim armor.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] ffchampmt:
I installed the AmFilm protector from Amazon yesterday and had good results. The protector is vary narrow so applying with the screen on is a good idea. I did the steamy shower install, lined up the edge closest to me and hinged it down. Very compatable with the Spigen Rugged Armor case.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] thefiverivers:
Same. I’m happy with the amfilm. It is cut narrow but I have got it on pretty close to screen edges and am comfortable with it. And I have the same case too.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] jamiejames:
Guess it's December.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] aviatordoc:
I am with the AM glass crowd, happy.

Have the same case as well. :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] wazka2:
I had am glass installed on my first 3xl and as everyone says it is narrow but it did not lift on the edges.

I have installed second one on my replacement phone and it does lift on the edges... Very strange.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] zetsumeikuro:
It's because all the phones will have slight variations in curvature on the display and that's what causes it. While one screen protector might work perfectly on one person's phone it can lift/have halo on the other. It's due to the manufacturing process of the glass and sadly not much can be done about it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] ddorsett445:
For those interested the Whitestone Dome is available on Amazon right now!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] coldconfession13:
Could you link to the am glass?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] bicho6:
45 dollars for a screen protector?!?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] winx14:
I had halo-ing across 2/3 of the edges when using the Mr. Shield screen protector. I read online that canola oil / olive oil would work to get rid of the halo on the edges. I wasn't comfortable with using cooking products on the phone, so I searched around the house and ended up using my wife's cleansing oil (Bobbi Brown brand).

So far, it's been 3-4 days and halo is still not visible, but I'm not positive if this oil is viable as a permanent solution.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Jsunn:
Ordered my Whitestone Dome for my Pixel 3 XL. I have been using the Orzly Screen Protector (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HQVSPFX/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and I am not a fan. It has the textured subsurface for touch sensitivity on the screen. The edges aren't fully sealed so dust has gotten under it, and there are rainbows all under the screen.

Looking forward to the Whitestone dome!

Yes it's expensive, but I think it should be worth it...

-J
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
yes, and if it's anything like the Pixel 2/2XL it's totally worth it

You can try GadgetShieldz screen protector. With tempered glasses having fit and touch issues, I have given up on TGP and gone for this wet install screen protector and use a case along with it for protection. Have applied it on my device along with their skins, the cutting is perfect, had nice scratch resistance (but no drop protection) and does not add bulk to the phone.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] tlxxxsracer:
Very surprised and pleased with Mr. Shield. I installed mine a hair too low which has a small amount of halo affect on the bottom which also leaves a small gap at the top of the screen not covered. I may reinstall it.

Pros

- no rainbow affect

- cheap

- comes with 3

- no major halo affect (if installed properly)

Cons

- Doesnt protect glass where the notch is

- tight tolerance for fitment can cause halo affect

Vault series from Caseology.

Tried out Mr shield on mine and it's perfect. No lifting/ no rainbow/no Halo.

Somehow I got it aligned perfect so I'm happy as can be right now!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] BaviDigi:
Mine came in the mail today and also had the exact same experience as you. Now have to wait for my Ringke Fusion case to arrive. I'm personally risking it without a case

Applied the Whitestone Dome on a Pixel 3XL today. The install is a little different than the 2 XL. However, it was flawless. It was perfect on the first try with zero bubbles, dust and zero lifting on the edges. Install took about 15 min. Just took my time. Laid out all the parts and went step by step. I clean the screen first put it in the rig put make sure the speaker cover stickers are set. Clean again, and then I use the dust stickers. Then I set the LOCA and then hit it with stickers again, if needed. I also do extra curing on it and do not completely clean the edges until after the second cure.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] MervinsOnlineID:
Nice to see that people are liking the Whitestone domes! Surprisingly, my Mr. Shield/LOCA setup is still looking pretty darn good so I will stay with it for the time being.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] airmaxx23:
My Mr. Shield seemed to scratch very easily. The Whitestone covers more area and is much smoother.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] nldxda:
Is this the japan glass model or the other one?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] dmacarth:
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, i did a search but didn't see the answer. I already received the Mr. Shield and loca and want to give that a shot before trying the Whitestone. Is the Mr. Shield installed with loca on the entire surface or do you only use the glue on the edges to combat halo and lifting.? If it is the entire surface do i need to remove the Mr. Shield adhesive first?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] :
Just the edges that halo. You can use a toothpick with loca to get it under or a syringe with a blunt tip needle if you have one.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] chrischoi:
Just installed a Whitestone Dome on mine. Thought I botched the install, but once I let it cure it was perfect. Covered everything nicely and no halo.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] jeremy46er:
I just installed the Whitestone Dome on my 3xl last night. Install was a bit more complicated than the iPhone install I did for my daughter but if you read and understand the directions you should have no problem.

I would say my install went perfectly, not a single flaw, now to see how long it lasts. That will determine if I will use Whitestone again.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] zer0zer01n:
Anyone using the Whitestone protector also using a Spigen case? Wondering what cases would be compatible with Whitestone so no lifting on the edges occurs as it covers more screen. TYIA!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] RoWilJr:
Using the Rugged Armor with no issues at all
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Flyer66:
I have both the Spigen Neo Hybrid and the Rugged Armor and they work great with the Whitestone Dome TGSP. I used a Spigen case on my Pixel 2XL with a Whitestone protector too without any problems.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] oceansaber:
+1…Can recommend Brotect Airglass screen protector! No bubbling, and although it's not edge to edge coverage, it does cover 99% of all visible parts of the screen. Flexible and thinner than standard tempered glass screen protectors, and fairly inexpensive too.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] bigdave79:
Is it actually glass or more like plastic? How's the feel and oleophobic coating?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] oceansaber:
It does feel like a really cheap glass protector, and there is an oleophobic coating. When you see how much it can bend, it really does remind you of plastic, but it has the hardness of glass.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] mastibeta:
They come with lifetime warranty, will send you the full 35$ replacement kit if it breaks.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] rspkt:
Just installed a Whitestone Dome on my Pixel 3 XL after having the same for my Pixel 2 XL. Installation went smoothly and clarity and color is as it should be. No issues that I can tell from install to actual functionality. Satisfied for sure. I'd continue to recommend Whitestone as my personal choice for screen protectors for these Pixel devices.

I'll report back in a couple days after my Spigen Rugged Armor case arrives with regards to compatibility and if any issues with that pairing exist.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] bobbyricha:
Same here.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] SevenSonics:
I decided to install the ClearPlex Screen Protector, although it does not cover the borders. Im satisfied with the results, using naked as we speak. Waiting for the Spigen Neo Hybrid to arrive on Wednesday and see compatibility.

For the Mr. Shields TGSP I see two Amazon listings - one for what appears to be regular glass and another for the Japan glass. Whats the difference between these? Is the Japan glass much better quality? Thanks.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] navahoo:
I´ve installed two different protectors on my P3XL, first InvisibleShield Glass+ and then amFilm. With both I´ve experienced weird touchscreen behavior, meaning ghostwriting while typing, even though it got better with amFilm, it´s still very annoying. You guys noticed something like this too?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] nldxda:
This looks great! Might just order soon.. currently using Mr. Shields Japan glass, which halos but feels nice and had great coverage
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] ravijob:
Haha let me know how it goes
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] nldxda:
Will do, but first they need to post up the slim version featured in the video.. I only see the full screen version on their website
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] JeromeLeung:
It's more coverage than Whitestone, but doesn't have an alignment kit. Be very patient to align it or else you'll have some issues with case compatibility. Also, more coverage means it covers the selfie cameras and the bottom of the bottom speaker which for me has been a weak point on the protector (it cracked down there just from me taking the phone out of my pocket a little too rough). Also, it has a dot matrix which I know is a deal breaker for some. You don't really see it after you cure the loca, but it definitely shows when you have an all white background - looks like glitter on your screen.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] samitro:
Which LOCA did you guys use? I would like to order some to test with Nillkin protector. Link to Amazon in EU would be great, if not US works as well. many thanks
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] jamiejames:
Just no substitute for Whitestone. Simply carbon fiber case is the best case I've ever had. Perfection. Merry Christmas everyone.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] kingoftf:
Just received my Zagg today, touching is much better than with the Mumbi Film before

BUT

The edges are not well covered by the adhesive, you´ll clearly can see the non sticking edges.

So, not shure if spending 30 Euros for the zagg is worth the money or if even the 3x 6 Dollar Real Glass Protectors from China will do the same job as well.

And even did not tried the Tech21 Case although Zagg mentioned the Protector as "Case friendly"
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Chris Welch:
Has anyone tried applying loca glue to the Zagg? Would that even work or would it conflict with the adhesive already on the protector? I also saw someone say that applying a hair dryer to it can get rid of the non-stick edges if you press down as they heat up
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] dan_king3:
I saw a Amazon promo posted on the pixel 3 forum for the Whitestone dome, I installed it and is flawless, is there any Promo codes for the 3xl Whitestone dome screen protector ? ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] RayEdmondson:
I use the Invisible Shield Glass + Visionguard with the clear Tech21 case and haven't had any issues with the case or with the glass lifting. It's a pricey duo, but I'd rather pay for quality instead of buy an inferior, cheaper product that I have to replace every month or so. Plus, I like that Zagg has a lifetime warranty on their glass. Had to do a warranty claim on my wife's iPhone 8+ because the tempered glass cracked.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Face_Plant:
I gave these a shot after seeing some positive reviews here. The height/width is good, but they don't stick down on the sides at all. I guess I'll have to order some LOCA...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
hey.

If you're trying to fully adhere it with loca then I think you'd want to remove the adhesive on the zagg. if you're just trying to stop the halo then you should be ok. disclaimer: I've not actually tried either though I've followed the screen protector drama from the 2xl on
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] in_dmand:
The sgfreshidea tg screen protector is perfect, full edge to edge, perfect cut outs, and no halo. Only problem now is finding a case that doesn't impede the fit :(
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] EmilChurle23:
I just received the LK screen protector. I bought it for 8€ ( 3 pack ) from amazon. Easy installation, it comes with all the equipment you will need like a frame so you place it correctly, wet and dry wipes, dust cleaner and soft screen wiper. It is just what i was looking for, although it is not edge to edge it covers 98% of the screen and is case friendly. I have the spigen tough armor with it. Simple, easy and case friendly. Happy with it. No bubbles, no halo effect.

I have applied the GadgetShieldz screen protector for my Pixel 3XL. I would say that it is perfect when it comes to cuttings and fits precisely on the phone. The main thing that I like about this screen protector is that it makes the fingerprints disappear with its self healing technique. And I was astonished to see the product itself is invisible. It's so thin and clear.

https://www.gadgetshieldz.com/google-pixel-3-xl-screen-protectors-covers-cases.html
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] TiltedAz:
Some of these screen protector reviews are like listening to a used car salesman pitch. Either no one has purchased/reviewed it or everything's perfect, yada yada until you check the non 5 star reviews. I'm still looking for a capable screen protector and I'm willing to pay a premium price.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] :
I settled with Zagg. No it is not perfect but it's close enough. I have warrantied mine several times to get a good install because they have to be aligned correctly to get a good seal on the edges. If you can get it aligned correctly and dust free they work nice. If you don't mind film IQ Shield works well and is cheap. I prefer the glass for the feel, not being a fingerprint magnet like film and for the added protection of glass. I added a picture so you can decide for yourself. I've had it on for about two weeks or so now and the top corners by the camera are my fault from lifting it up to remove dust too many times.

I am using the Tech 21 as well and it works well with every screen protector.

zagg contacted me to send a replacement, top customer service.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] RayEdmondson:
I switched from the Otterbox Defender to the Tech21 for 2 reasons. 1, the Defender case caused the tempered glass to lift at the bottom corner and 2, my Pixel Stand kept connecting and disconnecting with the Otterbox on it. Tech21 and Zagg were the perfect combination.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] in_dmand:
Does the tech 21 case only cover the body and none of the screen? The sgfreshidea tg screen protector is pretty much edge to edge and the other 2 cases I've tried haven't worked and will peel up the edges... Still looking for the perfect case to work with this!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] mazerob:
It wasn't tough but took little time. But after watching a video of how to apply from GadgetShieldz Youtube channel I managed to apply the screen protector precisely.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] RayEdmondson:
Just the body.
