[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] chriskwarren:
Hey everyone. Been seeing a few threads here with folks struggling with tempered glass screen protectors for the Pixel 4 XL, so I thought I would share what I can about my experiences so far.

Some notes:

- been using this since beginning of November

- I included pictures of two of the cases I have so that you can see the lip, but I also used this with an unpictured Spigen Neo Hybrid and the protector worked fine

- if you want a cheap alternative, the OMOTON was OK but I had touch issues along the edges. Here is a link if you want to check it out (had great coverage the and install tray worked great): https://www.amazon.ca/OMOTON-Google-XL-Screen-Protector/dp/B07VCJHS76

- I am very picky

- webpage for the model I am reviewing below: https://www.zagg.com/en_us/glass-elite-pixel-4-xl

- pictures taken with my old 2XL as best as I could.

- I have not dropped my phone yet thankfully.

Summary:

- this is the best protector I have found so far. I would prefer a Whitestone Dome but I don't think they are making one for the 4XL (based on a response I got from the Amazon store).

- I suggest this protector if you want full coverage* (see review below) and full adhesive and you don't mind spending extra cash. Install is easy with included install tray.

Pros of this protector:

- was available locally at Best Buy and if I didn't like it, I could easily return it.

- is what I would consider full coverage. I don't get any weird reflections on the sides and the screen is not cutoff. If I look at the phone from an extreme angle on one side I can see the image get distorted due to the glass edge lining up perfectly with the AMOLED screen edge, but that's not something that happens in everyday usage. I have pictures of this below. The screen protector lines up perfectly with the lit portion of the screen.

- full adhesive

- no black bars or screen cutoffs. Full clear.

- I got some bubbles when i installed it. They were gone by the next day.

- I had slight touch sensitivity on one side on the first day of install, but it went away by the next day. Sensitivity is as good now as no protector.

- has install tray

- fits the three cases I tried with it; NOMAD rugged leather case, Spigen Liquid Air, and Spigen Neo hybrid. There is still a bit of lip around the sides that allows you to place the phone face-down no problem, and I can swipe with my thumb from the sides of the case to the protector and it does not feel sharp, etc.

Cons

:

- expensive. I paid $40CDN

- oleo-phobic coating did not last very long. Much better on the Whitestone Dome Glass I had on my 2XL.

- no room for error installing. The screen lines up perfectly with the lit screen, so you need to take your time installing, even with the tray.

- little/no protection at the top.
