[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Ordered a Spigen Tough Armor. I have used them on every phone since my iPhone 8 Plus and see no reason to stop now. In fact, they are now a Made for Google partner so they should be even better than they already were.

Discover had a deal where I set my Discover card as default payment on Amazon and get $10 off plus there was already an automatic 5% off the case so it dropped from $18.99 to $8.04. Had $11 worth of Amazon gift card balance left so I paid $.27 in tax (because for some reason the new CO tax for anything that gets delivered is never covered by gift cards even though all other taxes are). Total no-brainer.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JamesR913:
Yeah I ordered a cyrill case to get through until the latercase shows up.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] grangermoch:
Definitely on the thinner side, which I prefer. The pics all seem to reflect that too, and they even go as far as to say "At just 2mm thin, the Grip Case is roughly twenty times thicker than a human hair."
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Z0ld3n:
I'm again getting Peak Design for that MagSafe compatibility. I also saw some transparent MagSafe cases on aliexpress, might also order them (couldn't find any for my pixel 6 when was hunting for one)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] swamp7:
Thanks for this -

Spigen and its subsidiaries, Caseology and Cyrill make cases that go well with hazel:

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] synesthete:
I am having a hard time finding a case that I like. I really wanted something in a fun color, but the cases that I liked in terms of form/design/thickness, just don't seem to come in colors that I wanted. I ended up grabbing a case I found on amazon (Humixx Shockproof ). I'm still not enthused about the colors, but I though the matte translucent material was kind of interesting.

I'm upgrading from an old Pixel 3XL and have a Spigen case on it. It had a rhinoshield case for most of its life.

I haven't decided on a screen protector. They always seem to annoy me on devices with rounder glass edges.

Edit: I received the case and it is nice and thin. The material is a bit slick though and doesn't offer much grip in the hand.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rosswaa:
What are these you film screen protectors like? I've only ever used glass. But not using anything on pixel 5
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bosox284:
Spigen Ultra Hybrid is where it's at for me in terms of cases. It's usually either that or the RINGKE Fusion. I try to get clear cases because I feel like otherwise there's no purpose in choosing a color like Snow or Hazel with a black case, I want to show off my phone as much as possible. The downside is that the clear TPU often yellows, so I went with the black Ultra Hybrid and the Snow P7P for the contrast.

For screen protector, Whitestone Dome has become my go-to for curved screens. Pricey, but I inevitably end up spending the equivalent in finding a good film. I find I just hate the films, regardless of how many I try. I did order an OMOTON film for the period of time while I wait for the Whitestone Dome to come in. I've had a good experience with their TGSP for my Fossil smartwatch. Allegedly it has an "anti-fingerprint" design, though I find that hard to believe because all films have collected fingerprints in my experience.

I'm curious to see the reviews on the IMBZBK. Their film was decent on the P6P, but I couldn't find any other LOCA TGSPs in their product line, so I wasn't about to drop $28-$35 for an unknown.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] RebDovid:
Until now, I've avoided the Whitestone DOME because (a) I've been deterred by the installation process and (b) other solutions have been "good enough". I'm open to revisiting (a) once the product actually is released and people start reviewing it (and the IMBZBK). Meanwhile, since the Whitestone isn't yet available and my P7P is due this week, I'll try the AACL hybrid.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ghisy:
No one?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Tmel14:
My Bellroy case arrived today. I was maybe expecting it to have more of a 'leather effect' - at a casual glance it just looks like a standard case as opposed to a leather one. But nice all the same...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] therussiann:
Ordered liquid air from Spigen site, canceled it 5 minutes later because same case from Amazon is almost half the price.. well I already have the case in hand. Feels nice, much larger then I expected (7 pro)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] blastroid:
No one?

I just got the Athlex from Amazon today. I don't know about the Spigen case but compared to my Parallax P6 case the athlex is more rigid and not really any thicker that I can tell. The back part is more like a plastic plate. I like the textured feel on the athlex.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] LLStarks:
Getting a 7. The Spigen Liquid Air is still perfection. They should sell the Core Armor on Amazon though since the Rugged Armor is a bit dated now.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Karun_Thomas:
I'm planning to use a film screen protector from Gadgetshieldz which is more than enough for scratch protection cause the screen is Gorilla Glass Victus and it won't break easily from 10Ft heights!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] n0gg:
some review of the original google screen protector:

i did the installation right after unpacking the phone. Wanted to have as less dust as possible on my phone.

Overall the installation process was OK - but the result is pretty bad.

First, the protector is coming with a tool to help placing the protector. Then you have to fix the upper part of the protector - the backside is shared in a upper and a lower part. When you finish the upper part you can do the lower part. Its easy to do. Also the protector is coming with a wet cleaning tool, a dust remover and a apply tool.

Sadly overall the result for me is very bad. Ended up with many bubbles on the screen which i cant remove. There is no dust closed in - so i am hoping that the bubbles will withdraw the next days. If they stay, i will remove it soon.

I had planed to wait a bit till tempered glass protectors are out with some reviews to choose the best.

The feeling of the protector is like every TPU Screen Protector. Feels just not that snappy.

But after all it is a bad result for me. Not sure if i did something wrong, but applied so many protectors in the past without problems or maybe one dustcorn. Never hat a result that bad with those bubbles, no matter i i installed a TPU protector, tempered glass or wet install protector..
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wildlime:
I've had the 7 and 7 pro 3 weeks now.

On the 7 pro the Spigen TPU screen protector fits perfect.

For cases I went spigen and ringke.

If you want a great skin then go to xtreme skins uk
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] eg1122:
I got mine. Its a bit thicker than the parallax series for the p6 pro.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ghisy:
I see, thanks!

Is it made of TPU as well? How does it feel?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] eg1122:
Its TPU from what I can tell it just feels harder. Maybe it just feels that way because it's thicker. Not as flexible as the parallax. Its textured and very grippy.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zetsumeikuro:
The IMBZBK is junk for a UV kit. One of the protectors didn't even have the protective film on the back but they stuck the peel sticker on the back. Since there was no protective film pretty much -1 protector right out of the box. I've done tons of LOCA installs without a hitch so I am very experienced. I think there's an issue with their kit because they use these little annoying plugs to hold the protector in place. The black hammer used to slowly lower the protector to the screen also wobbles around quite a bit and doesn't stay straight.

First protector had a huge area where I could see newton rings basically it wasn't touching the screen and as a result the adhesive didn't fill that area. Second one the same thing happened but it eventually filled the area but then formed small bubbles. I'd say I could have gotten a defective kit, but considering 1 of the 3 protectors was DOA I'm inclined to think it's a junk product. I think the plugs are too tight and causes the protector to lift from the screen enough to cause the issue I had during installation. Just go with a film and use it until your Whitestone comes.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] I7210I:
which screen protector (tempered glass) are you advice to take?

Thank you
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bosox284:
Thanks for taking the plunge on that one. I was weary when I saw they pretty much just took an old listing and reformatted it to the P7P. It had over 2000 reviews.

Their film on the P6P wasn't bad, but I saw they didn't have any other LOCA/TGSPs so I skipped it. Looks like that was a solid choice lol
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] RebDovid:
Thanks for the information. That's why, although I expect positive reviews for the Whitestone, I want to await reports about real-world experience.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zetsumeikuro:
No problem! I've generally had no issues with Whitestone's application process as their kits are rock solid. I had one on my P6P for 5~ months and I dropped my phone like a derp and the protector bit it but took the hit for the screen. Definitely worth taking the plunge as it's the best solution for glass on the market at the time for curved displays.

No problem! Yeah, I saw the reviews were for other products but since I used their film and it was decent I was giving them the benefit of the doubt. They didn't include anything to protect the earpiece or any openings either. I did put some electrical tape on the earpiece but it didn't seal properly and ended up getting some loca in the earpiece. Spent awhile cleaning it out no harm no foul and the smell will fade in a few days.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ChrisULM:
Totally trust your input here, but I also have one on the way. I'll attempt an install and see if I encounter similar problems.

Just looking for options to avoid paying $20 a pop for a piece of Dome glass.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zetsumeikuro:
Sounds good let us know how it goes. My example could just have been an unfortunate one-off and I got a defective kit. Considering that I got 1 protector in the box that had no protective film and just the sticker directly on the glass it seems their QC possibly could be lacking.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ChrisULM:
Most definitely. I'll report back.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] :
I'm using the Zagg Fusion Curve screen protector that's on the Google store. All I can say is that it's serviceable.

The feel is somewhere in between tempered glass and the TPU protectors that came out for the 6 Pro last year. I'm not even sure that this isn't TPU, but it's not at sticky when running your finger across the screen.

Install is the same as both types of protectors, but whatever material they're using made about five small bubbles. A couple I was able to push out with the card tool and the other few I just pushed really, really hard for 30 secs on each and they disappeared.

Looks great, feels pretty good. 7.5 out of 10 for me. Price being a problem. Installation instructions were good, but was a bit annoying trying to get it right. At the end it looks like it's supposed to and feels better than most that aren't glass.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
How does the fingerprint sensor work with it?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] :
Works absolutely fine. I put on the protector before I turned on the phone, so I registered the fingerprints afterwards.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] diesteldorf:
Can anyone say how the Athlex compares to the Vault? I really liked the Vault on previous Pixels.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DespairFactor:
It is similar, the Athlex is a bit weirder on the back, but the phone actually is nice in it. I have a 6 Pro in the Vault and my 7 Pro is in the Athlex, they feel nearly identical in hand other than the ridged back.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] aer0zer0:
Omoton TPU screen protectors and a x level shock proof in frosted
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bosox284:
The OMOTON feels pretty decent for a TPU screen protector. Must closer to glass than I was expecting, not as tacky as most TPU. Noticing the fingerprint is very hit or miss, though I didn't try it pre-screen protector.

Skip the camera protector though. Google camera gave me a warning that I might need to clean my lens. When I went to take it off that thing was like glued on. I used some floss to loosen the adhesive and the glass cracked, scratching the soft aluminum. It's a hairline scratch and only viewable from certain angles but I'm so pissed, I've had this phone for all of four hours.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
My favourite case is the Otterbox Strada, had one going back on every phone I've owned for years. Classy looking whilst offering the best protection around.

Unfortunately, they don't seem to do it for the Pixel 7 Pro. Or not yet at least. In the mean time I've bought a cheap £15 one off Amazon which comes with two screen protectors. Offers enough protection initially until I find another that takes my fancy.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] I7210I:
So any suggestions for tempered glass?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Avoid them, like all tempered glass protectors on a curved display. They never stay on properly, and can result in fingerprint reader issues (although admittedly, that's mostly with ultrasonic).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] I7210I:
Thanks,

But the other option is ? cause I want to save on the screen...

I had in my p6 the white stone glass...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Go with a good quality TPU protector. If you put it on properly and you combine it with a suitable case, they can be very effective at preventing damage in all but the worse kind of impacts. Not as good as tempered protectors of course, but as indicated above, they're a pain with curved edges.

Victus is great at shatter resistance, but not so great at scratch resistance. That should be your main concern and TPU is more than sufficient for that.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] I7210I:
and what if the glass wont be till the end?

I bought the casology case
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
Yup, unless it's a flat display. I will be trying a Zagg Fusion next week. I had one on my 21 Ultra for almost two years.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
i always go for dbrand grip but they aint cheap and now due to weaker pound to dollar its even more expensive!

due to drop end of month they said
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] I7210I:
looks that it is not tempred glass
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Not used a Zagg since my Galaxy S2 ten years ago. Didn't realise they were still going.

Might try one out as I recall it was very effective, albeit a bit worrying to put on as it required the use of water in the days before phones were waterproof.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
I can't vouch for water but I did drop it a few times and accidentally had in my pocket with tools more than once. It held up nice I think.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
No it is not, it's kind of a plastic infused glass. I used them on a few phones now.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] I7210I:
and there is glass that it's not curved?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] KHANrad_SIN:
Actually nevermind, there are more color options on the official bellroy website including the brown (aka terracotta).

As a side note the terracotta colorway has copper buttons this year, which I'm happy to see. Last year for the 6 pro I wanted the copper buttons on the terracotta colorway but that wasn't the case, only the biscotti colorway had the copper buttons.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thomashacked:
I see many list the Whitestone Dome glass here is that the best option, you want the tempered glass one right as the plastic ones feels bad.

In case I think I will get the Ringke Fusion Clear so I will have a chance to show the gold colours of the hazel.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] KHANrad_SIN:
I got this curved glass screen protector from here:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088QCGY2K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's the same thing as the whitestone dome protectors where you use UV LOCA and cure it. Probably one of the most difficult type of screen protectors to apply but it ultimately does work and if done correctly the results are worth it in my opinion. Comes with everything you need, the UV light, the adhesive, alignment tray etc. It's cheaper than the whitestone (which isn't even available yet actually). Admittedly it took me 2 tries to get it right, but thankfully it comes with 3 protectors whereas the whitestone only comes with 2.

It's working well so far. I registered my fingerprints after installing the protector and the scanner seems to be working as intended.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] faze2:
Same here. I messed up the first one by not being careful enough. Got it to work well the second time around. No complaints, the fingerprint reader works fine and it is crystal clear.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thomashacked:
IS there any big difference to this one and then the whitestone dome one, I have only heard about the Whitestone one.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] KHANrad_SIN:
I mean not that I know of. To be clear I don't have a whitestone dome protector to physically compare with but I would think it's not all that different. I have no problems with the one I linked.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thomashacked:
Awesome, that sounds good, I will get one or the other as it has been some years since I had a screen protector on as some said that the Samsung Galaxy S10 plus did not support it or only the ones with the small hole where the fingerprint scanner is.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
I really like the look of the Bellroy case in terracotta. But £50 for a phone cover is obscene, I doubt each unit costs most than £5 to actually produce. I refuse to buy it on principle.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] n0gg:
Just a update:

all bubbles are gone. So the result overall is ok.

now i will keep it a few weeks until some good tempered glass protectors are out.

whitedome has 25$ only for sending it to germany - which is way to much for me at the moment...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] I7210I:
is it compitable (the right one that you send) for the pixel 7 pro? cause it sais

Redmi Note 9​
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mko000:
No, the Amazon link apparently takes you to the product for a different phone if the exact same product is not available on your local Amazon website.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] I7210I:
so what is the right one?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mko000:
The one for Pixel 7 Pro!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] I7210I:
yes I understand, but there is link to it? cause I didn't find,

thanks
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ericDraven77:
I got my P7P two days ago and already had the Ringke Fusion Case hier in matte and the Ringke Screen Protector foil.

Both fit very very well and the Case has no visible Fingerprints (What may be because I have the Snow Version and on white you don't see fingerprints that much) but ffels a little bit slippy with wet hands after e.g. washing your hands. Thats a bit of a shame, cause otherwise this would be great case which I would never wnat to get off my phone anymore.

But now I'm looking for a transparent case with some structure on the sides.... is there any out there??

To come to the Protector foil.... the installation was not a bit of a problem. That was very very easy and it fits, you don't see it at all and I am absolutely surprised how smooth the screen feals with it. It is so much glas feeling I have to remind myself that there is already a protector film on :P

All in al I can recommend both Ringke Case and Protector if you don't mind the bit of slippy sides on the case.

As I installed both right out of the box, my P7P never saw a finger yet :P
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Volidon:
Have you tried the included Camera Lens Protector? Are they glass?

seeing if they're good enough or if I should get something else for the lens
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thomashacked:
A question, Anyone have tried Panzerglass(the actual company name) screen protector and how do they like it, my friend can sell me it for 16 usd so a lot cheaper then the whitestone dome glass.

Not seeing one for the pixel 7 or is their site out of date?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thomashacked:
Yes the site is out of date, ny friend who works in a Electronic store says they have it in stock, so wondering how it compares to the Whitestone and other UV screen protectors.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] loadie:
Bellroy has them in terracotta and in stock
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] loadie:
Phone fits in the case but the buttons do not line up
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zetsumeikuro:
Looking at some of their products on Amazon they have a S21 protector that has black borders that's side adhesive only with dot matrix and a single spot where there's adhesive to allow the fingerprint scanner to work. I'd imagine the P7P would be the same.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
I've gone for the same combo i used with my P6P.

I looked at the Pixel 6 pro one and that looked like a regular tempered glass screen protector, so I think this one will be too, but I am unsure if it is worth it, but yea I can get it for cheap, so might go for it and if it does not hold, then I can just opt for a better one.

i had 25 quid google store credit and did not want anything else from the store so bought a case mate clear case to keep me going for free until I get drand

Bellroy leather case purchased two different colours. The one currently on my phone looks very nice with my bowers PX8 headphones. I installed a Pixel 6 pro Whitestone on the phone this morning as I purchased a few protectors from Amazon UK and all of them were pretty bad.View attachment 5735525
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
Here is what I did to temporarily/permanently protect the camera bar. You may have noticed that for some reason the camera bar on the back seems to pick up micro scratches very easily...more so than the sides???

I took standard clear packing tape...the kind you use on cardboard boxes for shipping something. I laid it out across the camera bar and made sure no bubble or dust. Then I took an exacto knife/razor blade and carefully cut out the lens areas as well as sides flush with the sides. Do not push down like a gorilla and keep the blade on the glass and you will cause no harm. Remove the tape from over the lenses and the flash light and you cannot see or even feel the tape at all. Just an added layer of protection. Maybe a skin would do you better but this was free and easy. YMMV
