[Google Pixel 7 Pro] :
I have to revise my score to just a 4/10, @Lughnasadh.

Using the Zagg protector for a few days now there's a couple of cons.

1. I mentioned before that the feel was in between TPU and glass. Well, TPU is self-healing when it comes to scratches and glass is of course harder to scratch. With this protector being in the middle I already have several hairline scratches on this harder plastic. You can't see anything when the screen is on, but with the phone laying up with the screen off it doesn't look too good. I'm always super careful so take it for what it's worth.

2. The plastic is a fingerprint magnet. Any oil, lint, or light dust is very visible with the screen off and sometimes when the screen is on. I've never had this with TPU or glass.

May get the LK that I ordered last year for the 6 Pro or keep this one on until my Whitestone ships this week. Apologies if you've already purchased it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Thanks for the update 👍
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] meleelord:
I got myself the clear air cushion Spigen case, and the Case Mate TPU screen protector from the Google Store. Very happy with both!

The screen protector was very easy to apply and I've got no air bubbles, which is nice for a change!

Further down the line I may upgrade my case and screen protector, but I usually only get some hairline scratches which usually can't be noticed, so that may be a while off 😊

So I ended up ordering the Caseology Athlex in green/black. Saw a video on YouTube showing it off and it seems really nice!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] v12xke:
I'm very happy with the Athlex. The texture is amazing. Not a fan of the decorative slot but this is a solid value with medium duty protection and outstanding grip.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] v12xke:
I purchased both a Caseology Athlex and Speck Impacthero. I have had the Speck Presidio Grip on multiple other phones and went straight to their website to buy another. What I found was no Presidio Grip for the P7P, but a new Impacthero. I ordered it anyway based on past experience. This was a mistake on my part. The Impacthero is just too slippery. The case is high quality, fit is top notch, above average drop protection but there is no texture and it is just slippery. By contrast the cheaper Athlex has an incredible texture. Great fit and finish and an outstanding grip. Protection is better on the Impacthero, but I will be using Athlex long term and it is about half the cost.

I got the Spigen Rugged Armor (Matte Black) for no other reason than it had a place to mount a wrist strap. I really liked the Liquid Air I had on my P6--and got used to having the wrist strap on that one.

Ive always had great luck with Whitestonedome, except on my husband's S22 Ultra, it wouldn't detect the fingerprint

Damn, folks. That's a lot of cash being thrown around..! Me? I'm rocking a cheap TPU screenie and a Ghostek Covert case...both of which were made for my now-departed Pixel 6 Pro.🤪

Hand-me-down heaven. =sigh=

But seriously, they actually both fit well enough on the P7P that I'm not concerned about protection or functionality...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] I7210I:
actually there is difference between the pixel 6 pro screen protectors to pixel 7 pro? they are both same size, same curve...so whats the difference if there is?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] foxx_mentasm:
The volume and power button position
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
The cheapo case I bought which came with a couple of screen protectors was a good buy. The cover isn't fantastic, but decent enough. But the protectors are the type which come with a guide that slots into the USB-C port and went on perfectly. They were worth the money alone. They're TPU and not glass, but don't feel that way and if it weren't for the gap around the front facing camera, you wouldn't even know it was there.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tony1208:
Orginally I went with the clear casemate from google but returned it because it was a finger print magnet and really did not offer protection.

I ordered the Spigen Tough Armour on amazon and I like it So far , the cell dose not feel no bulky and has a good grip. I wish the sides of the case came up more like the top and bottom does.

I also brought the otter box Defender as a impulse buy and of course its well protected but just huge lol. I wish otter box would make the commuter version as the is my favorite.

As far as a screen protector I ordered a 2 pk on Amazon from a company called Arshek.

It’s curved 9H tempered. The FP scanner worked fine with it on and no issues scrolling.

I am probably going to use the credit form google and buy a ZAG screen protector off off the Google store eventy.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] I7210I:
So I can use the same screen protector of the 6 pro?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reaper000:
It's up to your comfort level. It's close enough for this particular "case-friendly" P6P cheapo TPU film for me to use comfortably on the P7P.

And I did have to modify one of the internal ribs of the P6P Ghostek case so it didn't continously push on my Vol down button.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] snapples:
I haven't had a Bellroy case before, but love leather cases on my phones so took the plunge and ordered one. As you have said, they are not cheap but seem to have excellent reviews.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AngelofChaos:
I went with the Spigen Rugged Armor case and the White Stone Tempered Glass protector
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] entropism:
Don't do that. Zagg protectors are overpriced pieces of ****.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] msgranger12:
This scratch is so bad even with the case on, this is why I'll b getting a skin for the phone instead of a case that makes it bulky!

1 - The Bellroy leather case is a bit disappointing. I've had 2 of their cases in the past for other Pixel variants and I've been mostly happy with them. But I feel like with each iteration they use less and less leather. This year seems to be the least amount of leather I've ever felt and I really can't justify the price. I mean I'll probably keep it but it's kind of a rip off. I'll give this a 3 out of 5.

2 - The Spigen Thin Fit is quite comparable to the Bellroy case. It's not leather but actually feels sort of the same. They're both a bit on the slippery side, honestly. I actually think I prefer the Spigen case, though, just because it seems slightly more protective and the camera covering is a little more robust than the Bellroy. I'll give this a 4 out of 5.

3 - The Spigen Neo Flex is a nice screen protector. I have no complaints. I've been going the Whitestone Dome route these past few years but I didn't feel like waiting for it. I'll probably just keep this one on as it's doing the job and I have no complaints. Pretty easy installation. I have zero lint and zero bubbles. So that's a win. And you really don't notice that it's even on the phone. I give this one a 5 out of 5.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] I7210I:
So I ordered the Caseology Parallax and I will order the dome glass for the p6p, it will work you think ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] RebDovid:
I'm using, and quite like, the clear Zagg Gear4 Crystal Palace case. Even with 20% from Verizon, it wasn't cheap: $31.99 plus tax. But my prior experience with the D30 material commended it to me over the Spigen and Ringke clear cases that I also considered. Zagg also has a limited lifetime warranty, which I hope covers their anti-yellowing representation: "The D3O® Crystalex used in the Crystal Palace case won’t yellow over time."

The Crystal Palace was easy to put on. I did have some difficulty removing it. But if/when I find a usable screen protector, case removal should be an infrequent occurrence.

It shows well and has a good grip because it's sides are ribbed.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reaper000:
Honestly, no clue as I have neither product. Only one way to find out -- good luck!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] I7210I:
you have screen protector of the p6p, you said it is fit (yes not 100% from side to side) but it's OK, isn't it?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
This is what I'm using on my Pixel 6 Pro and they both work great. On mine 7 Pro I'm also using the Parallax case and waiting for my Whitestone Dome protector to be shipped. In the meantime, I'm using an amFilm TPU protector just so I don't get any scratches before the Whitestone Dome arrives.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] I7210I:
and if you compare the screen protector that you have on the p6p it will fit with the parallax too?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Oh, I think I misread your statement. You're ordering the Pixel 6 Pro Whitestone Dome to put on your Pixel 7 Pro? Don't do that. For one thing, the screens are similar in size but not the same. Also, the curvatures on the two devices are different. Why don't you just order the Whitestone Dome for the Pixel 7 Pro?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] I7210I:
yes that exactly what I wanted to do,

I thought to order it and that it will be faster (the p6p) that why
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yeah, I wouldn't do that, especially with the curve being different. I would just order the one for the 7 Pro and get a cheap TPU in the meantime.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reaper000:
I posted about successfully using a p6p TPU film on a p7p. I have no idea if p6p glass will actually fit the sides of the p7p, and thus cannot confirm whether it will be OK. Sorry.

(however, it looks like others are saying it will not)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] I7210I:
So @reaper000 and @Lughnasadh lets say the new whitestone dome for the p7p will work with the parallax?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I don't see why not. They both work fine together on the Pixel 6 Pro. But only time will tell...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] I7210I:
OK the parallax I have, the white stone...will order in the 19/10 and see, meanwhile I have no screen protector
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] liggerz87:
Ye I loved the tech 21 Evo case I bought that for like every phone I had then I went Sony and pixel and couldn't buy it any more was same with gear 4 Oxford loved both those casses
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] liggerz87:
I was off put as well but I'd heard good stuff about dome so I tried it for the first time on a pixel 6.pro deffo make sure the place your doing it is level then you use the jig and drop the glue wait for it to drop in middle then pull tag screen lands on phone perfect then wait for glue to go all round then use light it really ain't that bad
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] RebDovid:
The AACL didn’t work for me. Although I studied and carefully followed their video instructions, I couldn’t get the four edges of the protector to adhere to the edges of the screen, a necessary preliminary to us curing.

I then ordered the IMBZBK, which seems very like the Whitestone Dome. It came today. Although I needed to stop and rewind the video instructions many times—never having done a LOCA installation before—the actual process is pretty straightforward. Also, to your point about making sure to work on a level surface, a bubble level is built into the IMBZBK installation frame. Although it’s early days, the initial result is so good that I’ve canceled my order of the Spigen Neoflex and currently see no need to try replacing it with a (slightly more expensive) Whitestone Dome.

Also, the IMBZBK plays nicely with my Gear4 Crystal Palace case.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] liggerz87:
Ah cool I can't say for other brand i only used white stone ye I screwed up first one I had then 2 one I got on ok but had a wieard black dot somwere on right side then a week later dropped phone cracked the dome but got another one and got it perfect on phone but I have pixel 6 pro
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Samuel Holland:
Hi, I just wanted to share my experience. I believe it's best to forget the aligning tray, etc. I make sure phone is on flat service, tape the holes, etc the best I can, pour the glue in one puddle onto screen about power button area, and gently set glass on, using camera hole to line up, or i if no camera hole, then best judgement leaving hole in bottom and top uncovered. Let glue spread like normal and uv.

I just wanted to share because the last few phones, when I stopped trying to use their included tray, I stopped running into problems.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] entropism:
I bought these for my 7 and 7 Pro. Walked out of the Verizon store, put it on my Pro, walked right back in and returned it. There's barely any lip over the screen, so if it lands face down, it's probably going to shatter. Add on a glass screen protector and I'm willing to bet the protector extends out further than the case, putting your screen in even MORE jeopardy. The Verizon manager saw what I meant when I said I wanted to return it, and basically agreed with me (Not that that matters any).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ChrisULM:
Circling back with an update on the IMBZBK glass screen protectors. These look like the ones to get if you're looking for a cheaper alternative to whitestone dome!

Installation was easy enough and the kit came with really detailed instructions. This was my first time installing these types of protectors, but I was able to successfully install them on 2 different phones with no issues at all. The glass fits very well over the screen, and I had zero bubbles. Updated the android setting to reflect screen protector, registered my fingerprints, and I had zero issues with touch sensitivity or unlocking the phone.

With a case on your can't even tell there's a protector there.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] hey_malik:
Does anyone has experience with mous cases? They're rather pricey but are one of the few that offer magnetic options.

Are there any other good cases with magnets on the back for usage in the car?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] QD2DC:
I can vouch for these too. The kit was very comprehensive, has glue absorbers to protect the ear piece and sides from spillage and little pegs to help keep the screen centered until you cure it. The tray itself has a level built in so you can see if you are on a flat surface. You have to take your time and prep is everything with these type of screen protectors. The UV light has a button that turns on the light in 30 second intervals. Bought two of these 3pack kits, and installed perfectly on both mine and my wifes Pixel 7Pro. No bubbles or lint thankfully! I registered my fingerprints after the install but did not change the screen sensitity, seems to be perfectly fine. I did use the weight included over the fingerprint sensor. No idea if that helped but no issues so far, going on a week tomorrow. Overall very pleased and surpised by this kit for the price.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Deadmau-five:
I found a case with a 80% coupon (Amazon) if anyone is interested... 2$ total.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Thanks for your review. I've always used Whitestone Dome on my previous devices with curved displays (awaiting arrival for the Pixel 7 Pro ones), but never these. I'm curious, did you use the weight when you applied the protector?

On a sidenote, I noticed these are .16mm thick while, if I remember correctly, the Whitestone Dome ones are .33mm thick. Not sure how much of a difference this would make in protection, but I would imagine it would make the fingerprint sensor work better (although I've had no problems with the sensor on my Pixel 6 Pro with Whitestone) and maybe even help a case with raised edges protect the screen better.

Not knowing when the Whitestone Domes will arrive, I went ahead and ordered these because this temporary TPU protector is driving me crazy, lol.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xgerryx:
lol I just grabbed on of these for the hell of it. Looks like a commuter copy to me. It's prob awful, but maybe not!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] NepoRood:
I'd already picked out a Spigen Ultra Hybrid (clear) and was looking at screen protectors. I'm familiar with the ones for curved screens because of the One Plus 7 Pro, so was looking at TPU brands. I've never used film before, I've had decent luck with Omoton in the past, so got a 3 pack from them.

Since this was something new, I thought maybe I should shop a bit more and look at some other brands. I came across what I thought was a decent deal from Milomdoi, which had 3 of each: TPU screen protectors, tempered glass protectors for the rear camera and a clear case made from some "New German Material"

I've got to say, so far I'm not disappointed. They have a video for installation, which seems to be pretty much like all the other's I've seen. There's a little rubber mat that you set the phone on to keep it from sliding, a guide that plugs in the charging port, just hook on the film, get it lined up and press down in the middle. There's an adhesive strip that helps prevent it from moving. Attach the upper half, spin it around and attach the lower. It was stupid easy, lol

The case seems decent, it popped right on. The film doesn't have any bubbles and I really can't tell it's on there at all. Only downside seems to be the finger print smudges...

Fingerprint sensor setup effortlessly, opens every time (so far) It's only been a couple days though, so jury is still out.

Purchased from Amazon
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ChrisULM:
I did use the provided weight on my install. I saw several reviews advising otherwise, but I thought it best to follow the manufacturer's instructions as provided.

Things I can note:

I used the entire container of glue. I saw some reviews that recommended otherwise, but had I not used the entire bottle, I don't think it would have been enough to cover the entire screen.

When removing the black "hammer", I think the trick is to begin lowering fairly quickly so your glue initially starts to spread in the center of the screen and then as it gets closer to dropping, SLOWLY lower it the rest of the way so the glue spreads evenly. In my first attempt I started dropping it very slowly at first and could see the glue wanted wick to the top portion of the screen. Lowering it faster at first (about 60% of the way) corrected this.

I waited for the glue to cover and pass the fingerprint sensor area before applying the weight.

On one application my glue centering was not perfect and it took longer for the glue to spread to the entire screen. I had mini bubbles at the bottom of the screen where the glue hadn't spread, but waiting another 5min over the recommended wait time allowed the glue to slowly fill these areas. No bubbles were left.

My tablet is Samsung Tab S7 FE with Android 12 and One UI version 4.1.1. After last update the desktop changed.

Before the icons at the bottom: recent apps, home and back, were in the middle of screen. Now they are on the right side of the bottom line, which is very annoying: you very often accidiently touch those icons.

I tried to move the position of those icons by pressing long - no success.

I don't want to use Nova Laucher or similar apps, so any possibilities to move those icons back to center of bottom line?View attachment 5728657

I sent the question into someone with the Tier 2+ Google Support Hardware Pixel team asking "What cellular modem is in the Pixel 7?"

I will post the answer here, if I get one.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] swieder711:
According to Google online chat with a Tier 2+ support person "Pixel 7 and 7 pro use Samsung Exynos Modem 5300."
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Morgrain:
The confirmation is great, but that means little since it's an unannounced modem, and we don't have any specs and there are no other phones using that modem to compare it to.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] swieder711:
I took a chance that the P7 modem will perform better than my P6 which I am going to trade in.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rester555:
Agreed. Sadly, trust of the chat level information has been lacking IMHO.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Linuxkek:
Thx god I read that! Thats the reason why I don't buy a Samsung device here.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tauio111:
There are sightings of the 5300g revision (where as previous leaks had 5300b and f revisions)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Linuxkek:
The old modems are not that bad but S21 was really bad and 6 and 6 Pro one of the worst.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
So shut off 5G then. It's a battery hog and not needed for 95%+ of us anyway.

To be clear, it's not just Samsung modems that suck with 5G. My Qualcomm X60 in my OnePlus 9 has 5G disabled because of battery drain, data stall, and heat issues as well.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bartolo5:
Well, we know it has a "Samsung Exynos Modem 5300g" whatever that means. It's the next rev of the same modem from last year. After the latest updates the 5100 modem was working ok, although 5G battery life was atrocious (which is on par of this 2019ish chipset).

Hopefully the Samsung modem team has improved 5G battery and at least you'll have a working modem that while it's not state of the art, people can't complain too much.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Linuxkek:
I use only LTE the last few years cuz we got 5G over DSS which is 4G.

So I just got my 7 Pro and I checked my signal strength compared to my 6 Pro with the same sim card in the same spot. What I can say is this. The 7 seems to have a much more stable connection. I watched the signal strength for about a minute and I saw the 6 bounce around from -107 to -112 dBm. The 7 consistently stayed at -107dBm. Can't really tell if there's any difference in real world usage yet but these are the findings I have so far.
