bought another LK tpu to tide me over until i try the monaco tempered glass

they changed the rear glass protector

it now uses the same teardrop deisgn as the other china tpu kits we linked here
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] :
Thx, bkd. ✌️
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mikemod:
I'm using the Spigen rugged armour case with the LK tpu and it is perfect, it is only at the camera that you realise you have a screen protector on.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Batfink33:
Strange, maybe there's a revised version, the ones I have are definitely slightly too big. I covered the grill and buttons anyway but there wasn't that much glue in the vials do it wasn't too bad.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Izy:
Using ultra hybrid and no lift for a pretty tight case

Also update the rear glass screen protector with the revised teardrop also causes glare

So I had a tempered glass camera protector with the flash camera cutout. Yesterday, I had to take a flash picture and the quality was awful. The tempered glass spread the light to the camera and the image was washout an aweful. Definitely had to take it off. Definitely don't recommend the tempered glass camera protector.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
My wife and I have been using the LK screen protectors (tossed the camera ones) for the past couple of weeks and we've both been happy with them. My wife says she detected a change in how it felt after a few days, but I haven't noticed anything. I can feel where the screen protector edge is at the top, which seems to be slightly lower than it should be, but I use gestures so I hardly ever swipe down from the very top.

My wife is using hers with a "Spigen Slim Armor CS Designed for Google Pixel 6 Pro Case (2021) - Rose Gold" although she'd like to change back to an OtterBox Defender case when there's a sale again, and I'm using mine with an OtterBox Defender.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] tbalden:
Nice!

What's the issue with the camera protector?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It's been reported previously by others that the camera protector causes problems, especially when using the flash.

I will add that I bought two packages of the LK screen protectors, with two in each package because I assumed I might mess one up. I did, and then the second one in the same package had some kind of line in it, so the third time was the charm and I used the spare one from the second package.

I don't think it was particularly difficult, I just didn't pay attention to manually keep the top of the screen protector lined up with the front camera. It was definitely way easier than the kind of screen protector you have to get the bubbles out from under. The fingerprint reader has been working 100%, even before the .037 firmware update.

Edit: This is the one LK [2+2 Pack] 2 Pack Screen Protector Design for Google Pixel 6 Pro 6.71-inch + 2 Pack Camera Lens Protector, Self-Healing TPU Film for Pixel 6 Pro, Ultra-Thin, HD, [Not for Pixel 6], Bubble-Free. $15.99 and there's a 15% off checkbox right now. Also says $3.20 less for Prime members, but I can't verify that as I rarely pay for Prime.

Just got these in from AliExpress, I ordered a 2 pack of the Mocolo, and an unbranded (slightly more expensive) 2 pack.

Both are literally the same thing in different boxes. They came relatively quickly (about 10 days to NJ), well packaged and nothing was broken.

I burned through one of the mocolo protectors because my phone was slightly tilted and the glue started to run towards the bottom of the screen. I tried to act quickly to toss the glass on it and got a bunch of air bubbles, so I just tossed it without even curing it with the light.

The second attempt went perfectly. I propped up the bottom of the phone with the alcohol swab I used on the first attempt, and it set the phone flat enough. Put the glue in the center, made sure there was no air bubbles in the glue, and slowly put the protector in place. Once the glue started spreading I dropped it in place and let it do it’s thing. Definitely not as easy as having the Whitestone or Amfilm frame to guide you, but it ended up applying perfectly anyways.

So… With that being said: the fingerprint sensor works perfectly. It’s just as fast as it was with the LK TPU protector on it, and I didn’t even have to redo my prints. Once I apply my DBrand skin I’ll see how the protector works with my case, and hopefully it doesn’t push up the glass. At this point that’s the only thing left to worry about, because a tight case can ruin everything.

Here are the product links. I used the 2nd link for the install so far, but they're pretty much identical.

Not all of the camera protectors cause an issue with a flash. If the cutout is big enough, you won't have that problem at all.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Izy:
That's where your wrong.

Lk swapped from a smaller circle cutout to a bigger teardrop style.

Yes the bigger cutout helps but the the underlying issue persists where the light bleeds the edges of all the glass causing the glare
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] zetsumeikuro:
Don't know what to tell you, but I don't have that problem. I'm using the one that came with the Aacl tempered glass and I don't have any glare issues even in a pitch black room. I'm waiting on the Rhinoshield ones and hopefully they're just as good.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
Same experience here with the aacl ones. No glare issues on my pics at all.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ginfest:
Do you have a link to these? Sorry if I missed it!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Az Biker:
Yes. The old school TPU protectors felt like leather (rough, textured) but these look and feel like glass (very smooth, and no texture).

I will switch to 9H tempered glass once it becomes more readily available, but for now, these are much much better than the older TPU protectors.

The fingerprint sensor works every time with these protectors as well.

The link you provided looks like the same type of kit and overall picture, so you might be right about same product diff company.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] reaper000:
OK, so I bought from eBay the linked TGSP (from pages ago) that has the solid blob of glue over the fingerprint reader. It was like 3 protectors for $16 USD

So I pulled off the armorsuit tpu, and put on the glass, squished the blob down hard for a minute, increased touch sensitivity in settings, and added another fingerprint with the glass in place. The fingerprint reader works nearly 9/10 times. Good enough.

Was it worth it...?

It all comes down to personal preference in benefits vs risk, advantages vs disadvantages.

For me, tonight -- because I reserve the right to change my mind! -- the obvious drawback of having a noticeable circular aberration is tempered by the added insurance of screen protection. Some of you may argue that's any TGSP is excessive or unnecessary, but I've had various shattered <$10 screen protectors convince me otherwise. For me, the better question is whether TPU is good enough, and I have an LK TPU ready to go should I indeed tire of noticing the blob. Which brings me to my answer, which is admittedly swayed by the novelty of having this product on for the duration of typing this post...

The answer for me is YES.

...

For now.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ginfest:
Thank you!

I put on Milomdol 9H film screen protector and tempered glass camera protector yesterday. I purchased it from Amazon. I have no bubbles or lifting on the edges of the screen. The fingerprint reader is working without having to enable the faster reading setting. The protector ends up looking like glass and you can see your fingerprints on it. :cautious: I placed a Caseology case on the phone without issues.

The install is fussy and needed an extra step of taping the sides of one end of the protector during the install (after applying the first half of the screen, before attempting to apply the second half of the screen, as noted in one of the Amazon reviews). I found the installation video more effective than reading the instructions as a guide.

I was able to take pictures of the night sky with the tempered glass camera protector. So far, the screen protectors work, despite the fingerprints all over it ... no different than the screen itself without the protector.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Starzboy77:
I just received a liquid protector but this is my first time using such a protector and need some guidance with the stickers to protect the speaker ports. Is that for the top speaker/ear speaker or the bottom firing speaker? Do you need to cover the power and volume buttons too? Also, how do you remove the stickers once you place the glue on the screen and then the glass? Any guidance would be extremely appreciated. Thank you.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Batfink33:
Cover them all, buttons, sim tray , ports , ear grill etc. Make sure none of the glue gets in them because it's nasty to remove. Use quite strong tape also so the glue doesn't get underneath if it spills over. With the top ear grill you have to only cover it slightly so the protector goes on properly, if you put too much tape over it then the protector wont fit at the bottom.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Starzboy77:
Thanks for the reply. Question is how to remove the ear grill sticker after applying the glue and then the glass? Wouldn't it be under the glass a d impossible to remove?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Starzboy77:
Do you think packing tape is sufficient?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Batfink33:
Hmmm, not sure. Maybe electrical tape and I've used Gorilla tape for the ear grill before. It's got to be sticky enough that liquid can't get underneath. You just need to be careful as the glue doesn't always spill.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Batfink33:
You only put the tape over the ear grill up to where the glass would start so a strip of tape over the ear grill then wrapped over the back of phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
This is OT but oh well: I've never dropped any of my phones before but it happened to my Pixel 4 XL on my current trip. It felt flat on the floor and my TGSP cracked! Seems like the screen itself is fine underneath. I'm waiting till I'm home to replace the TGSP with a brand new one (I have extras).

My point is: I'm glad I didn't have time to set up my Pixel 6 Pro before I left. I don't know how effective the TPU screen protector would have been in that case. I probably would have a brand new P6P with a broken screen! 😱

Anyway, I really wish TGSP for the P6P would be here soon cause now I'm scared haha
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Starzboy77:
Really appreciate you! Thank you so much. Will try once I find some good tape.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dimm0k:
finally received the Mocolo glass from AliExpress - bought 2x 2 pack, only received one so make sure if you order from them! LOCA glue is a ***** so I would definitely tape all sides. once that **** leaks into any crevices, it keeps leaking out! took like 30 minutes of wiping. that said, the application went on smoothly with no bubbles on the first try. pretty much comes right up to the case I have on so I have full protection!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] djy:
Thanks I ordered two packages from AliExpress, shipped to east coast USA. They are estimating up to 40 days. Did your order arrive before the estimated time?

I never used a UV adhesive type glass protector. How much adhesive did you apply? Once cured, does the adhesive peel off in large blobs or is a solvent/scraping required? Have you noticed any difference in quality for the front camera or fingerprint sensor?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dimm0k:
I'm also in the same location. ordered it 11/18 and received it yesterday so the 40 days I believe is a large estimate and you'll probably get it sooner.

it was my first time applying this thing and while it was a perfect install in terms of alignment, there are some small micro bubbles at the top right corner. as the glue started to spread it slowly covered everything under the protector, but for some reason when I used the UV light to cure that corner raised itself and I had to hold it down while placing the light over it. should have held it there longer, but because it didn't it raised up again. when it finally cured these micro bubbles were left.

some tips

- best to do it after a nice hot shower and the bathroom is steamy to pull down all the dust

- place the phone on a rubber mat or counter the camera bump so that the phone is level (halfway through dispensing the glue, the glue started to slide!)

- there were no pull tabs for the plastic protector covering the underside of the glass... may one to put a piece of tape and pull it a little to make sure it works

- tape all four sides of the phone so all the buttons and lines that separate the glass from the back are sealed. place tape over the top speaker as well

- I emptied the whole bottle of glue, but the hole where the glue exits is pretty small so it comes out in droplets despite squeezing the life out of it and opening the top of the tube

- once you get a pretty big pool of glue, about the size of a US $1 coin, maybe bigger, pull off the plastic from the glass and put it down over the glue and let it slowly spread. the excess glue will slowly leak out of the glass. you can see the glue spreading

- move the glass around so that it's perfectly aligned and hold it there. use the UV light to cure a small part of the phone - I did the bottom of the phone so it's stuck in place. after that you can let go and flash the light all over the phone. I guess one thing that's good about the more expensive White Dome is that it comes with something to hold the UV light in place - convenient, but enh

lastly, since these are all the things I've learned along the way I didn't tape the sides and that proved to be fatal, as mentioned above. that said, I used the UV light to get into the lines and just now rubbed it with my finger and it all peeled off like rubber cement. other than that, I'm not sure how it would come off in terms of ease if you wanted to redo it or replace... videos of the White Dome removal didn't look too bad unless the protector cracks.

no noticeable difference from the front facing camera. the FP sensor feels like it took a slight step back for me... I had a TPU and that felt good despite how I placed my thumb. after putting the glass on I had to re-do the prints and after doing them it feels like I need to get it at the right placement to unlock.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pafc66:
I wonder if it's worth buying the note 10 plus Whitestone dome glass for the pixel 6 pro ??as everyone is saying the note 10 plus screen protectors are fitting the pixel 6 pro perfect ...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] lemonspeakerz:
Mines comes tomorrow. Do you have pictures of your install?

Also, I'm afraid of what to tape.

1) Do I tape a little bit of the screen itself? Because I'm worried the glue might seep into the tiny space between the actual glass screen and the phone's housing.

2) How do I tape off the top speaker area? There's not much room up there for any tape...

3) Did you find yourself holding down part of the glass while you cure the other half first?

4) Any micro bubbles or defects/mistakes now that yours has cured?

5) Has your FINGERPRINT reader gotten worse with this screen protector?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] zetsumeikuro:
Pretty good video showing the install process for LOCA protectors that don't have an install rig etc. Of course, go with the curing times listed in the instructions vs what is the video. Also, do use electrical tape or something similar to block all the ports, as the others have mentioned.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dimm0k:
soooo, I made matters worse lol

I had originally ordered the glass from aliexpress, but with Amazon having one seller also selling something similar I ordered from there too. the Amazon one arrived one day before the aliexpress one and after installing the Amazon one with no issues other than the fact that the finger print sensor wasn't working as well as it did with the TPU, I decided to re-do it with the aliexpress one. made two attempts with it and have a few extra pointers to add to my original which are

- after all the glue has spread, give the whole glass a firm press to squeeze out all the glue and make as close a contact between the protector and the screen

- as you press, wipe off the excess as quickly as you can to prevent any buildup

yeah, the main focus is to protect the buttons and the earpiece with tape. that said, even if you have good strong tape I would take care to wipe the excess as much as possible. I've attached a photo during the prep phase. I put the glass on and taped along the edges. be careful the tape is not touching or under the protector. tape should give you a good indicator of placement once the glue has been applied. second photo you can see the excess glue coming out - I would not let this happen, instead I would wipe it up especially since the tape I used was not strong enough, as evident with glue still seeping through. I held down the protector and cured the section where my fingers were holding down. once that's locked in place I slowly cured the glue little by little pressing down to squeeze out the glue. I had micro bubbles in one corner, prompting me to do it all over, but that was because I had already cured it before realizing. I would cure a small section in the middle first and then work outwards to push all the excess glue out to ensure no bubbles.

my first application I did not press down on the protector before curing and I feel that caused the finger print reader to be worse than when I had the TPU. my last attempt I put pressure on the protector as I cured it, paying more attention to the fingerprint area and can say it's back to what I had with the TPU protector
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
A few weeks ago, I got this TPU screen protector from Amazon. I screwed up installing the first one but managed to apply the second one OK.

Today, I just took out the P6P from its box (not using it yet because I was traveling these past 2 weeks and did not have enough time to set it up) and it looks like cr*p! There are bubbles everywhere and one line at the bottom that looks like a wide bubble. This thing sucks!

I'm glad I got a refund from Amazon after screwing up the first one because I was NOT happy with it.

Now where are the good tempered glass ones? Given what happened to my 4 XL on my trip (long story short: thank goodness I had a TGSP on or my screen would be shattered!), I'm not taking any chances with the P6P. It sucks because I would like to use my shiny new toy :(
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dimm0k:
yeah, TPU does suck in that if you have anything that pinches the screen it'll create bubbles that you'll need to smooth out. I normally keep my phone in my non-wallet pockets, but twice I've put it in with the wallet and after pulling it out I saw some bubbles. couldn't figure out why until the second time when I realized I have a paper clip that was rubbing on the screen.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] entropism:
Guys, when you apply the glass over the LOCA, do NOT move it around or press on it. That's the worst damn thing you can do!

Put the LOCA in the center of the screen. Hold the protector diagonally, where the bottom edge is lined up where it should be on the phone and lower it down SLOWLY. When it makes contact with the glue and starts to spread, then slowly finish lowering it, but do NOT put pressure on it. The glue spreads on its own. Don't touch it, and it won't flow over the sides or into the ear piece.

DON'T. Touch. The. Protector.

DON'T. Put. Any. Pressure. On. It.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dimm0k:
I didn't press on my first attempt... and I can say the fingerprint reader was not matching properly. my final attempt and applying pressure has given me the snappy fingerprint reader again
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Batfink33:
Doesnt work. I tried a cheap Note 10+ UV TGSP and it was slightly too big at the sides.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pafc66:
You mean "doesn't" or does?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Batfink33:
Woops sorry, it doesn't work. Will edit the post.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sensui123:
Just installed the Mocolo. Very exact horizontal dimension wise as others mentioned so make sure you lay it down properly/centered. Install went flawlessly and feels great without lift using spigen ultra hybrid case. I didn't reset my fingerprint sensor (previously used Tocol film) and it still works flawlessly.... Never had any fingerprint issues. Very smooth and happy to be back to tempered glass... Stopped buying whitedome a long time ago... Just too expensive for what it is and other companies like this is just as good IMO. Hurts a lot less when you shatter it too in a drop for sure.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gie62001:
I have the same case and for the time being only TPU screen protector. So wanted to ask how the case fits while using this screen protector? Would you share some pictures? Thank you.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sensui123:
There's not much to see honestly pic wise. It's a cloudy white 6 pro with that case on and the protector is a perfect fit. You see maybe a hair thin gap between both sides left and right so alignment is very crucial to making sure this thing doesn't lift when you squeeze on the case. Have a tech21 incoming also so I'll report back with that case also. Best of luck with installation, if you've done loca uv installs before it's very straight forward and nothing new... Only thing is like some have mentioned, alignment and having a small slope to keep the phone flat since it slopes a bit from the protruding camera.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] lemonspeakerz:
What's your install procedures like? Any particular tips for install? I keep reading that you'd want to press down and then cure the fingerprint area. Etc...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Zilla0617:
I attempted to install the Mocolo UV protectors it didn't work out quite well for me. This was first time using LOCA UV installs, the first attempt lifted on side when using the Spigen ultra hybrid case. My second attempt had an air bubble which kept getting bigger. Finally l, discarded it went back to my last TPU. Will try another brand at a later time.

I do prefer TGSP for added protection and extra smoothness, but it was a lot of work.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sensui123:
Biggest points is making the phone flat so the tempered glass doesn't slide when you lay it on before curing. Some quick steps from my perspective.

1. Prep the phone, tape up openings/buttons to prepare just in case. Clean thoroughly.

2. Used something to prop up the bottom of the phone to be sure it's flat during installation.

3. I used the full tube of loca and applied it in the center/slightly upper center.

4. Align the tempered glass...I lined it up against the bottom first and laid it down from bottom to top. Slowly making sure it's aligned as I lay it down (helps to have some fingernail here or something to hold the glass while you lay it down). Before curing, you can slightly adjust the tempered glass by sliding it around with fingernail or something thin to make sure alignment is good.

5. Make sure there are no air bubbles on the entire screen. That means the glue has spread properly and is even. Do not press down on the glass you want it to spread evenly.

6. Cure appropriately with uv led.

Nice find man. Looks like a solid rig to put in there and the cotton on the sides to get up leakage. The Mocolo ones leaked like crazy off the side, even with the adhesive in the middle.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
Oh these might be a good option! Please let us know if they work!

Wait! We have no options for regular TGSP as of now?
