Well not exactly, the phone and its own box are missing from the package. The person who prepared my order just put the watch and the charger in the cardboard box. They forgot the phone...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
OHHhhhhhhhh, you meant the shipping box! lolololol

I thought you meant the phone was missing from its own box.

I thought this was going to be something brand new for the ages.

[Review] Spigen Tough Armor

This case protects the top and bottom part of the screen as well as the corners. Unfortunately it does not cover the long side edges. The screen pops out further than the sides. I'm returning it and will find something better.

Cheers

Have not used a "glue on" screen protector in a few years. Whitestone for my P7P comes Monday. Given the location of the front speaker do I have to mask that area with the tape or does the edge of the glass not go that high and we hope the glue is not expressed into the speaker?

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] joewoo:
There's a chance you'll get glue in the speaker... But if you're careful, the tape covering it up should handle it
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
there is enough stickers in the pack to cover all holes and buttons.

look at youtube video on 6 pro install as its same method if you want to see how its done first

This is the one that I have for now. Might end of getting a different one at some point, but it it working well enough for right now.

Humixx Shockproof Designed for Google Pixel 7 Pro Case​

LINK

Pros:

I like the that I can see the google logo through it.

Corners and camera bump seem to be well protected.

Edges of the screen are easy to swipe.

I like matte materials.

Cons:

The lip around the screen is quite small, so I'm not sure how well-protected the screen is.

The case is a bit slick without much grip.

Can be a little fingerprinty

The rounded camera cutouts kind of hide the square camera bar that the pixel is known for, butI don't think that it looks particularly bad either.

I saw earlier in the thread that you have the pixel 7 pro and opted to use the OtterBox defender with the whitestone dome glass. Does it fit? Is there a small gap between the edge of the glass and the edge of the case so that the case doesn't make the glass peel up? I've always had good luck with the defender series. I do hard work and I swear by them. Same with the whitestone dome glass.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Whitestone hasn't shipped us our Dome screen protectors yet, or at least they haven't emailed about it and there's no tracking that I know of, yet. Originally, their pre-order page said they would start shipping on October 19th, although in first come-first serve order and I have no idea how many orders were placed before mine. On the 20th, the site said they would start shipping on the 20th, which is what the site still says (for orders that had been placed before the 17th). So hopefully we get ours this coming week.

We both had no problems with the Whitestone Dome tempered glass with OtterBox Defender cases on our P6Ps, so I expect it to be more or less the same. The only time my wife's protector peeled up was when she took it out of the case to switch the SIM card to our P7Ps, but I think that only happened because she definitely didn't push down on the protector as hard as I did. When I prepared both our phones for trade-in, mine definitely took more work, although still easy, to get the protector off of it - hers came right off without any hesitation.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
Was there any glue left over? I just posted in another thread how removal looks easy- you just peel the wsd up and wipe the screen. The glue comes with the screen.

However, I found a horror story on an Amazon review for the p6p where the guy destroyed his phone removing the WSD.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
When I removed the Whitestone? No, I don't think so. I did use a screen cleaning-type towel with cleaner fluid a few times over it in a few passes, but I didn't specifically notice any glue left when I took the protector off.

Their website's advice said to use dental floss, which gave me the bright idea - I have some disposable plastic deals - basically a short piece of floss being held relatively tight, with a handle, and I used that to get the edge up at every corner of mine. I pressed mine down very much when I put it on, so I felt I had to be a little more subtle to get the protector off, but once I had the corners up and was able to slowly pull them a little, to let the bend of the protector itself to work its way across more and more of its surface, then finally taking it off was easy. Took less than 5 minutes overall for mine. Less than 30 seconds for my wife's. :D

I want my protector to stay on if I ever have a need to remove my case, so I'll continue pressing mine down harder than my wife does on hers.

I feel they must not have been very careful, but that's just my guess. Our two P6P trade-ins were my first and only experience so far with removing a MOCA glue screen protector.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
Don't you suspend the WSD protector and pull a tab to let it drop into the loca and phone screen? From there the loca spreads on its own under the weight of the WSD. I thought you were NOT supposed to press on it during install.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I don't remember the instructions off the top of my head. The only time I've put a LOCA screen protector on was about 10-11 months ago (since Whitestone didn't have theirs available for pre-order until weeks or more after the P6P launched).

I follow the instructions Whitestone gives. That was just my best guess as to why my Whitestone required a purposeful effort to remove, whereas my wife's started coming off when she took the case off.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
Got. Thanks for the info. Please do let us know the fit of the WSD with the defender pro series case. Can you share some pics of the phone in the defender pro series case? I'd love to see how large the lip is to determine how much protection it gives the curved edge of the screen.

EDIT: what's the benefit of getting the OtterBox defender PRO series case over the regular OtterBox defender? They're the same price. They both come with the holster. From the item descriptions the only difference I can see is that the defender pro comes with an antimicrobial film?? Are the cases geometrically the same so they provide the same protection for the phones? Amazon doesn't have the defender PRO, but they have the regular defender. If the antimicrobial film is the only difference I'll probably order off Amazon since I have some gift cards there.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Not sure if you saw, but a few people reported they will receive their Whitestone Domes on Monday. USPS has emailed me that mine is arriving on Tuesday. So they are rolling out.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I will. :)

I took pictures of my wife's Hazel phone, since mine is Obsidian and I figured hers would be easier to constrast, at least for the back photo. Hope these help.

^ You've answered your own question. If you looked at pictures, you notice the back of the case looks different, but it's either superficial, or just related to the anti-microbial.

Yes.

The only reason we got the Defender Pro case in particular is that when the P6P and P7P launched, Verizon seems to have the best deal on any of the OtterBox Defender cases, and it's always for the Black Pro case. I don't care much about looks, just how well things work, and I'm not willing to spend $15 more a piece to get the Blue Pro or non-Pro, or Black non-Pro.

No, I didn't see. Awesome, thanks! Right now I'm dealing with some trade-in anxiety since our P6Ps were due to be delivered to them on Friday, but they've been vaguely "Moving through the network" as the USPS likes to say in the tracking, although they did at least reach the vicinity of where they need to go, so hopefully they be delivered Monday.

I think something similar happened with a different trade-in experience, or just returning anything to the Google Store in general.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Oh, I hope it goes well. I took my trade-in to the Post Office on Monday and the money was back in my account on Thursday. Couldn't believe it went so fast and smoothly, especially after some of the stories I've heard. Fingers crossed yours gets to where it needs to be soon...

Well got my WSD today, ****ed up the install both times. Great :/ ... First time I had a bubble in the middle that I gently squeezed out and that caused not enough glue to get the top, on the second attempt o must of had some residual something because on a small part I got that oil rainbow look and the glue just would not cover that small area.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
Here is my update on the Zagg fusion curve screen protector and the Tech 21 case from Google. I received my replacement from Zagg today and the install went well this time. I did have one small bubble on the front and a few on the sides but they went away after some heat was applied. I thought it was a speck of dust on the front but it disappeared after I had the phone in my pocket when cutting the lawn. Anyway that made me happy. The screen protector itself is ok but as others have said it scratches pretty easy and is a fingerprint magnet. See pic 3 for the end result. Pic 4 and 5 are not the Zagg.

As for the Tech 21 case, I have been using it all weekend and it's not all that bad. I guess it kind of grew on me. It's a bit light on the side protection but overall not horrible. However it too is a bit of a fingerprint magnet and scuffs a bit easy. It looks good so I'll use it for a while.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
Spigen Tough Armor with Zagg fusion curve. I'm pretty happy with the case. It has decent side protection and is not a fingerprint magnet but the sides are a little boxy feeling. Best of all it's less than half the price of Otterbox and Tech 21.

Q&A about Screen Protector Products

Whitestone Dome Glass is patented tempered glass that provides full touch and edge to edge coverage. Unlike other tempered glass with adhesive only on the edge of the screen. Dome Glass uses liquid adhesive to fully cover the screen including the edges.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Tool Belt:
P7P . Just put on WhiteStone....flawless. Put it on in a steamy bathroom, did not remove the current TPU protector until the phone was masked (taped) and in the jig. Used a can of compressed air to make sure all the dust was off. It comes with an upper speaker protector. I used that but first carefully covered the speaker with the tape. Used fingernail to ensure the tape was intimately attached on all sides. Put the glue on, then protector, tilted jig and let glue run a bit below the middle. Took out the pin holding the glass up and held on to the edge of the screen to slowly lower it as the glue spread. After about 45 seconds the glue made it to the top and I started curing. 2 of three fingerprints work fine. Left thumb never worked that well so I re-entered it. I have an app to double tap the screen to sleep/lock and I have to tap a little harder. I may turn up the sensitivity, we'll see. Spigen Thin Fit went on without any interference or lifting of the glass. When I put the phone face down I can slide 8 thickness of paper under the screen...the case still affords plenty of relief for the glass. The SuperSheildz TPU really was quite nice, but I am glad to get glass again.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] RebDovid:
The price is right but when I tried an earlier iteration of the case for the Samsung S7 or S3 I found the plastic uncomfortable (perhaps also because of the hard edges of those cases). For my LG 6 and Pixel 5 I used, and quite liked, the Speck Presidio Grip. But it's not available for the P7 series. Instead, I'm a happy camper with the (admittedly more expensive) Gear4 Crystal Palace in combination with the IMBZBK UV-tempered glass screen protector. Regarding the IMBZBK, in addition to its other virtues (so far), it's left the screen so sensitive that I turned off screen display mode without any detectable loss in sensitivity.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
Those look good but I don't care to try a loca based screen protector yet.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Tool Belt:
Why not?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
Just the whole process of dumping glue on the screen and then curing it is too much of a hassle for me, I was fine with the tpu one I had on before the Zagg. I probably would have skipped Zagg but the Google credit made it worth a try.

The Whitestone Dome tempered glass screen protectors for the Pixel 7 Pro work great with our OtterBox Defender Pro cases. I got the two-pack and didn't mess up either one. I did both of our phones since my wife accidentally broke her finger yesterday.

Whitestone sent me an email at 3:30 AM ET that they were shipped, and four hours later, my post office said they were out for delivery.

Ever since Friday morning, both my wife's and my trade-ins say "Moving through network", all while in the vicinity of the destination. Every day the post office emails me saying that it's going to be late (originally said would arrive on Friday), but "it'll still get there".

Cue the Jeopardy tune. I'm sure it will get there, but ugh.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Ouch. Sorry to hear she broke her finger. At least she did't do it on purpose. That would be a little troubling 🙃

Glad all went well with your installations. It's so nice when that happens.

Got my Whitestone Dome today as well. So nice to have that on there now. The temporary TPU was driving me nuts. I hate the feel of those things. Now it seems all is right in the world, lol.

Btw, fits well with my Caseology Athlex in case anyone is wondering (no pun intended 🤪).

Ugh is right. At least "it'll still get there", lol......fingers crossed.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
Not to hijack the thread but it's kind of the same thing here but my wife just told me Google sent her a email saying they received the trade in and are in the process of assessing it. The tracking says it's arriving late. Seems like USPS is having problems with their tracking updates.

Have a question about the tempered glass screen protectors that use the glue. I just sent back my s21 ultra trade in, and removing the amfilm tempered glass UV glue protector was an absolute nightmare. I never want to go through that again. Are all of these screen protectors that use glue/UV the same regarding the removal process? If so I'll bite the bullet and try to find a TPU protector.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
My wife and I had Whitestone Dome on our Pixel 6 Pro's that we sent in for trade. I took both of our screen protectors off before shipping them.

My wife's started to come off from the corner when she took the OtterBox Defender case off to get the SIM card to put in the 7 Pro. It was extremely easy to take it the rest of the way off, almost no effort at all.

Mine was easy, but not like that easy, and not a nightmare. The Whitestone site suggests using dental floss. I have disposable little floss things held by a small plastic handle. I used it to gently bring up the corners and lifted until each corner worked it's way too release about a quarter to half the entire protector. By the time I got to the third corner, it was almost all off. Took me less than five minutes.

No idea what my wife's phone and mine had technically different but still easy experiences taking them off. Maybe somehow hers got less glue.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] D0CTOR:
FWIW, I got these from Amazon that use the same process, with the UV & Glue. Worked flawlessly first time with no bubbles or problems, and the screen fingerprint reader does to. Highly recommended, and 2 day shipping... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088QCGY2K?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

The only reason I went with the Whitestone over the one you list is for the clear camera bump protector film. I hope it will mitigate the micro scratches that the bump can pick up. Those black glass ones you got are junk...unless you have a black phone maybe?

There's no cutout for the camera? Its images aren't affected at all from this? what case do you have? This is interesting.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
Right now I am using a Bellroy from Google. The only reason is because I had the $200.00 credit for the 7 Pro pre-order. It's OK but NOT worth the $55.00 out of pocket!!!

But I have the Spigen rugged armor on order. I have used Spigen more than any other.

Now I am not sure about your question concerning "no cutout for the camera". You see the Whitestone Dome protector comes with a clear TPU type camera bar protector that you apply like you would a screen protector. There's a video on it. The ones that come with the IBMZKD (whatever it's called) are made of glass, colored black, which is ugly on a rose gold camera bar. Now maybe if you get them in a clear glass color they would be more to my liking.

Does anyone know if Speck typically releases any cases after release of phones or is what is available, what is most likely only going to be available?

I have been using the Speck Grip cases on my phones ever since the original Pixel and I love this case so much and it seems like they don't have it for the 7. Hoping there's a possibility of it coming out, otherwise I need to find something to replace it with.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mochamoo:
Am leaning towards the Spigen Tough Armor case. I see all the discussion about screen protectors but am really wondering how much one is really needed at all? It is Gorilla glass after all? I work from home and don't wander a whole lot. My tablets have gone screen protector free with no issues. So how much of this marketing anyhow? I have had glass protectors crack after a drop but the screen remained ok. So was the gorilla glass good enough and the protector itself the weak point? I wonder.
