Hello I just recently got my self a pixel 2 XL and I'm looking for a good screen protector. I've done some looking around and found ALOT of options but it seems that screen protector quality has gone way down since I last bought one (for an older phone).
What I'm looking for:
a temptered glass, non do matrix, case friendly, non edge adhesive screen protector that doesn't cost an arm and a leg (for what the product is).
If anyone has had a good experience with anything that would fit the criteria please let me know.
Thank you for any and all responses and recommendations.
I dunno which ones like other people but for me is important protec edge to edge, curved screen protector. I found ome on amazon:

I saw those, and I like the idea and the product seemsd really well reviewed just really pricy for a screen protector. I mean I have most of the stuff that makes those good (i.e. loca, uv lamp) I just don't have the actual screen protector.
Had the Pixel 2 XL since the release and I also used glass protectors but they're just nowhere near as good as they are for other phones. It's really odd that there aren't more affordable screen protectors besides the Whitedome or whatever it's called. It's also the one that I refuse to spend that much money on, lol.
The reviews on Amazon are also insane since a crap ton of them are fake reviews besides the 1 star ones. Although this isn't a glass protector, keep this one in mind. [emoji106]
After trying multiple brands of screen protectors, mainly curved ones, I decided to try a film one. After messing with the S10 and watching the review on this screen protector, I gave it a shot, and hands down, I don't regret it. Has to be my favorite so far, even though I was iffy about it at first.

Three main thing keeping me away from the film screen protectors it's they usually have noticeably more resistance during use than the tempted glass alternatives. How did that one feel when using?

It feels more like the protector that comes with the S10. It's a wet apply, and feels really smooth compared to the other film protectors. I know the film type you're talking about, and I've used this one for 8 days now. I guess the only bad part about this screen would be if you get something under it.
If you do happen to mess up during installation, it says they'll send you another one no problem, but I recommend at least giving this one a shot. [emoji14]

I've recently started using Screenknight film screen protector, and whilst it does have more resistance than a glass screen ... Using it with my Unicorn Beetle Pro (after removing the built in screen protector) it makes my phone feel indestructible ... Much better than the glass because it wraps around the edge of the screen which is then covered completely with my case ... I'd does a have a very slight "orange peel" effect if looking in the right light, but all in all I'm much happier with this than any of the many glass screens I have tried and wasted money on !

I'm looking for a new screen protector for my 3T. Here's my requirements:
Tempered glass
Doesn't let dust get under it over time
Doesn't keep me from seeing pixels along the edges (rules out OnePlus 3/3T Curved Tempered Glass Screen Protector; see https://youtu.be/rVtWOmDrVGU?t=119)
Covers up the entire display area (rules out OnePlus 3/3T Tempered Glass Screen Protector; see my attached photo)
Works with at least one of the big protective cases like Otterbox Case for OnePlus 3/3T, Spigen Neo Hybrid OnePlus 3 Case / OnePlus 3T Case with Flexible Inner Protection and Reinforced Hard Bumper Frame for OnePlus 3 2016 - Gunmetal, or OnePlus 3T / OnePlus 3 Case, TUDIA Slim-Fit HEAVY DUTY [MERGE] EXTREME Protection / Rugged but Slim Dual Layer Case for OnePlus 3T, OnePlus 3 (Matte Black)
Are there any screen protectors that meet all of these criteria?
the unicorn..gl
Doesn't exist.. that I've seen.
Sigh... Why did OnePlus have to curve the screen? :crying:
Yeah,there's no good tempered glass protector. The only option is a plastic protector.

Yeah, it's looking that way. I really don't want to go that route because plastic has next to no impact protection.

It comes off eventually,you get the rainbow effect and dust eventually gets underneath it as it only sticks to the edges.
I bought a couple of cheap ones off eBay that go around the home button and speaker. Don't even notice it's on most of the time. I get a little oil spill type effect but that's only when the screens off and not noticeable unless I look for it. Think the key is getting it really stuck down. When I first put it on I ended up with tobacco underneath it from my pocket but carefully took it off and reapplied it and so far it's been fine. Had it on about 2 months maybe 6 weeks and it's been great
I'm having the same issue as you. I'm not sure which tempered glass screen protector to use..
After a little search, it seems like the issue with the official curved screen protector from OnePlus has been fixed. I'm gonna bite the bullet and just go for that once, since it's "official". Will report back with images.

Where'd you see that? I'm under the impression that they said they were going to fix it, but all they ended up doing was adding a disclaimer about the problem to the description page.
Hey everyone,
I bought the curved tempered glass and it was so so so bad I removed it 1 minute after using it.
When you put your finger on the fingerprint sensor, I get the feeling that i'm putting my finger into a hole.
The feeling I get when I look at the screen, its the same as if my phone was outside a window...
It was expensive and I'm not using it. Tried to refund it and the support didnt allowed it.
The curved tempered glass does protect the whole phone into a point that it kills the whole feeling you get when
the phone is naked.
Please do not buy it!
I bought recently the normal tempered glass but I still didnt received it.
When it arrives I'll give some news.
I received these today and applied the first one perfectly. I can't tell there is anything on the screen. They do not attract smudges anymore than the phone's glass which is good.
I am more so trying to protect against micro scratches so do not necessarily need the better protection of glass.

Using the orzly v2 glass and its cool. Yes you can see the dot matrix in direct sunlight, yes you get random rainbow in in hot/humid places. But overall its usually clear and perfect. If you use a case it just blends in and although the extra height is daunting on the home button at first, after a month I can say I can't even tell anymore, not obtrusive at all.
Experience with official tempered glass protector
So just to share my experience with the official curved tempered glass protector from oneplus after using it for some weeks.
I'm using it with the Otterbox case and it does work well together overall. It did happen very rarely that an edge was pushed off by the case when the phone was in my pocket. The visibility of the edges of the screen is impaired, but not to the point that I find it disturbing in every day usage.
So my point is, overall this combination works well and provides good protection while adding reasonable bulk. I think it's a very solid choice as of now.

Yup, quite happy with that. But I'm not 100% persuaded that's actually tempered glass. I managed to get it chipped just by holding it in my pocket with some coins (I assume, as I never dropped it). Nothing major, but never happened with any other glass screen protector before. So, guess that's still going to provide some level of protection but wouldn't trust it too much for major protection.
Apart from that, that's ok for the price.
IMHO

It seems to have the same problem as the official OnePlus full-coverage protector where you lose some edge pixels, according to the 3-star review on the white model.
I'm on my 2nd Orzly V2 now and it's not too bad. I have limited rainbow affect which is only visible under fluorescent lights and the touch sensitivity is generally OK. It's not great by any means but it's adequate, will protect the screen and is the best out of a poor lot.

I thought I would start a central location for the new Google Pixel 2 screen protectors. These are the ones I found on the web for now. If you find any, feel free to share.
For a list of Google Pixel 2 Cases, take a look at - https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/accessories/google-pixel-2-xl-t3684403
It's a little hard to find when you search for "Google Pixel 2". Searches come up for the OG Pixel for like 2 screen protectors. I'm sure there are more from other brands but I only listed from those that are reputable and known within the community.

@intelliARMOR has said that they are working on a screen protector as well. Can't wait for the Pro!
I really hope that Whitestone Dome makes a protector for the Pixel XL 2. It seems it is going to have the same problems that the S8 and Note 8 had to where the only protectors you can buy only has adhesive on the edges. The Dome protector has adhesive on the whole screen. It's awesome on my Note 8 and S8 plus.
Do you guys have any plans of making one?? @Whitestone Dome Glass
One more
https://www.incipio.com/plex-plus-shield-edge-google-pixel-2-xl-case.html
Also, it seems to be a toss up on how the p2xl will handle tempered glass. Some have the dox matrix while others have the "edge to edge" adhesive which is pretty bad. I'm hoping itll be something like the pixel 1 with it fitting perfectly on the display.
What are peoples' experience with using Zagg or Incipio? At those prices, it makes me think I'm better off ordering the Power Support from the GoogleStore when it's live. I was very happy with Spigen's tgsp but I'm not sure if they're making one.

i hope it arrives on time

Those leather cases for Apple are, or at least were at one time, made by Bellroy. They are currently listed as for sale on Google's website. Pixel 2 version is in stock, Pixel 2 XL version is out of stock, unfortunately
I'm holding out for the gadget gaurd black ice+ I love the warranty on it where they pay $100 towards the repair of your screen if your breaks while you have one of their registered screen protectors on. That is if they make them I used them on my pixel XL and my wifes Pixel and when my wife broke her screen it was only 30 bucks to get her screen fixed.
Wrong thread, sorry

Yep I already saw the Bellroy leather cases but they are looking a bit thick imo. :/ (and are expensive)

I guess it depends on how careful you can be with your phone. I never use a screen protector but I'm always aware of where my phone is (i.e. not putting my keys in my pocket that has my phone in it) I also have a Google fabric case which let's me keep a good grip on the phone.

I also don't use a screen protector, or a case. But I'm careful with my phone and want to enjoy the device for what it was designed for. No since keeping it prestine just for the next owner.
Haven't used them since my blackberry days. Going fully naked with this phone. It's nice and grippy.
Don't use one, saving money in the long run as I'll just replace it myself for the cost of a screen protector. Besides, with the way on installing them now with UV light and LOCA glue, it's as labor-intensive as installing an actual screen.
Cases do a great job in preventing the screen from breaking anyhow.

This is exactly what I'm doing as well. Tried an IQ Shield "skin" type protector, but the edges lifted up which looked terrible to me. Also got the tempered glass protector from the Google store, and while that looked good it killed touch responsiveness so I removed it. Just going with no screen protector and the Google fabric case (which I think is my favorite case ever on any phone) and all has been good.

I use one only because I am around fine particulates like dirt and metal shavings daily. Whitestone dome. The only drawback is when playing fps games, it sometimes registers ghost touches.
I didn't use a screen protector or case with my HTC EVO 4G, GSII and GSIII (Until I broke the screen). Then started using a screen protector and case (For drop protection not really scratch protection) for my GS5 and Nexus 5X. Since none of the cheap screen protectors fit well for the Pixel 2 XL, I've been without one since October and it's been scratch free.

I use one, but not for shatter resistance. I use it to protect the screen from hairline scratches. The dirt on your skin will eventually scratch and scuff the screen to the point of being visible and I just can't stand permanent scratches on the screen surface.
I personally use a hybrid screen protector (flexible glass) because it's so much thinner than tempered glass and still feels like glass.

This. Hairline scratches and the oleophobic coating wearing off is why I always use a tgsp.
This is the 1st phone that I didn't use a screen protector on and as far as I can tell the screen still looks new after 6 months.
Comes down to how anal u are. If you can live with minor scuffs or scratches. Go protectorless. I cannot. This display is too beautiful and how the phone is holding its value. Imma keep it fresh to get a good price when P3XL comes out. So I tried 3 different ones before settling on Whitestone. Which looks and feels like the natural screen.
G
Protector all the way considering how easy this phone is to scratch Gorilla Glass 5 is trash.
I've always put screen protectors on my phones ever since the purchase of my very first one. As the user mentioned above, it's less for the screen shattering but more so for preventing hairline scratches.
I've only been able to find wet apply protectors that work best; every other glass protector on Amazon has had really bad reviews for not sticking on the edges.
If anyone has good recommendations for a glass protector (or even that flexible glass mentioned above) please let me know where you got it from!
This wet apply protector sticks very well to the edges unlike the standard glass protectors available, however there is that classic Orange Peel effect and the screen looks a bit grainy under light or white backgrounds.
The only screen protector I've been able to find with good reviews is the one with that UV light install and it's about $60, way too much for a protector in my opinion.

Interesting claim as Gorilla Glass 5 and 4 have the same scratch resistance as seen in Jerry Rig Everything videos.

I always use a matte finish screen protector so it's easier to use outdoors in the sunlight and no fingerprints
I have never used protectors and have never had scratches. On this phone I do. It's possible I am doing something different but can't imagine what?
Definitely upgrading my OP 6 this time with a Oneplus 7 Pro and will be getting it on launch day. Will there be any proper tempered glass protectors which wouldn't block the Oneplus 7 Pro screen on the sides? Wasn't lucky with the Oneplus 6 TG protectors as they were blocking the screen. The screen this time looks a lot more curved from the images and chances of a fully fitting tempered glass looks very bleak with the bezels almost vanishing.
Finished applying gadgetshieldz full body protection on my Oneplus 7 Pro. The screen protector goes all the way to the edges. This is freakin invisible after applying and almost feels like glass...Great scratch protection if you use your device naked.
There is no proper TG protectors yet due to the curved screen. This feels great with the back and camera lens protection as bonus....

Or should I go for those liquid or wet install protectors like Gadgetshieldz or Zagg Invisibleshield as these cover the screen edge-to-edge? Gadgetshieldz is already on pre-order
Any Oneplus 7 Pro tempered glass protectors available yet? Whitestone Dome kinda for a reasonable price?

There are some in the Amazon but not sure about the quality and no info about the whitestone and zagg. These flexi screen protectors with a case are your best bet till anything worthwhile comes in tempered glass protectors for the Oneplus 7 Pro.
Picked these up from Amazon.

Im just worried due to curved screen on Pro that we wont get a easy to apply one.
Will probably need to use blue light to put it on and that makes them quite expensive and not compatible with all cases. My Pixel 2 XL still has no protector due to this.

Yes whitestone dome.
Had this on several of my Samsung devices. They work great but the install takes some getting used to and they are much more expensive than a regular tempered glass protector

Which one is this? And when you put it up to light do you see tiny small dots throughout the glass? Or is it completely transparent? Thanks!
I bought this one from UltimateShield

I'll write a short review after using it

But Whitestone dome is providing screen protectors for Samsung devices. Not for Oneplus.
I've just been trolling Aliexpress and it seems like that they are making UV curing full cover screen protectors, here is just 2 that I found that might work really well for the OP7 Pro. ?

One plus hasnt had a curved screen until now so no need for whitestone to make one.
They may now
Reached out to Dbrand and they said they're working on a Prism screen protector for the 7 Pro
Quick reminder to anyone buying one, as with the OP6T, once you apply the protector, remember to re-register your fingerprints for accurate detection.
(Experienced users will know this, newbies may not realise it)
I was using 3mk Arc 3D foil on my Galaxy S8+. It was much better than any glass I was using before. It had self healing feature and was totally invisible on any angle. Compared to any 9h glass which often are shinny as hell it was a perfect solution. Also it was compatible with any case( I was using it with neo hybrid from Spigen) I hope that 3MK will make it also for OP7 pro.
Using the Skinomi matte protector on my 6T which is self healing and feels like a glass screen protector. Getting the same thing for the 7 pro as soon as it's available. Best screen protector I've ever had.

How was the install? How are you liking the feel of the screen protector so far?
Doesn't the OnePlus 7 Pro come with a screen protector pre-installed?
I dont think Oneplus is gonna be making any screen protectors specifically for the OP7P.

Hi all,
I have a few questions around tempered glass screen protectors for curved screens like the Pixel 6 Pro, I was wondering if people had any answers to:
Are there any known brands that do good quality curved tempered glass screen protectors?
Has anyone seen any tempered glass screen protectors for the Pixel 6 Pro that follow the curved edge of the screen
How well do these fit on phones that have cases (I'm looking at spigen rugged armor and have noticed in the past that some screen protectors don't fit properly with the case)
Any input would be appreciated as I want to make sure my Pixel 6 Pro is properly protected from scratches and falls.
At the moment, do not buy a glass screen protector. Where is the screen of the Pixel 6 Pro curved? Until a high-quality curved protection is made

Just this morning this chick was standing next to me on the train and she had a phone with on-scree fingerprint reader and a screen protector. It looked ugly as ѕhit, because there was a hole for the fingerprint.
I haven't used screen protectors in years now. I just don't put my phone in the same pocket as keys and it's good as new.

I'm using a Whitestone Dome Glass on my OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren and there is no hole, where the FPS is...
And there's also no problem with the finger print reader with the applied Dome Glass.
So I really do hope that there's going to be a Dome Glass also for the Pixel 6 Pro (in the past Whitestone always hat a Pixel Dome Glass available...)

I heard many horror stories from people that had to remove the remains of Dome Glass after a drop (shattered, couldn't be removed in one piece). Did that ever happend to you? I planned on using Dome Glass for a while now, but it's quite expensive and I am not really looking forward to damaging my original display whilst trying to remove the debry of the protecting glass...
Any reason why you couldn't put a 6 tempered glass on the 6 Pro? pretty much the same size. You wouldn't want it to go past the curved edges anyway.

You would have a pretty sizable area around the screen protector that doesn’t come up to the case edge. Leaving room for dust to accumulate. Also the selfie camera cut out wouldn’t line up right.
I ordered this one: https://www.spigen.com/products/pixel-6-pro-screen-protector-neo-flex
I know Spigen makes great cases but never tried their screen protector. It's not tempered glass but it was (only) 11 euros on Amazon. In the worst case, if reviews are bad, I'll send it back.
Edit: read some reviews about the same ones for other phones, they don't seem great. I canceled my order for now. We'll see what becomes available next week.
I just bought some LK film screen protectors off of Amazon. I've had good luck with them in the past and the install method they use works great. I might go Whitestone or similar later on after I see some reviews. I had used Whitestone before in the past but from what I've been reading it seems the quality of the glass isn't what it used to be. IDK anybody used a Whitestone lately?

Before I sold my Pixel 2 XL I removed the Dome Glass and that was absolutely no problem.
The Glass came off very easy and the glue sticks to the Dome Glass not the Smartphone Screen.
I also had to replace the Dome Glass on my OnePlus (my fault) and there I didn't have any problems either - the glue sticks to the Dome Glass, the Display remains absolutely clean...
Can't really imagine on how to "kill" the display when removing the Dome Glass...of course, if you're usin a kniw or a screw-driver or any other inapproriate tool...
I'm going with the Ringke Dual Easy Wing. The film curves around and covers the edges and it has stayed pristine for the 1 year I've had it on my Note 20 ultra.

is this avail for the 6 Pro?
I ordered the ArmorSuit MilitaryShield Screen Protector and see how it does. I may order a protector for the camera lens but I see nothing I like right now.
I ordered the curved Imak 3D Tempered Glass Screen Protector, it will arrive in mid-November.

Been rocking my Pixel 5 w/o a screen protector since purchase. Don't think I'll use one for my Pro.

I didn't see the Ringke on their website.
A few things to answer earlier posts:
Whitestone is REALLY easy to remove, even after it shatters. Worst case you can scrape it all up with a business card. The adhesive is more like rubber cement than a hard glue.
Tempered glass protectors with a hole in them are straight up garbage. Avoid them
The Pro has an Optical sensor, any issues that Samsung users had with tempered protectors don't apply here. Optical sensors work GREAT with LOCA based UV tempered glass protectors. My Oneplus 9 Pro has an Optical sensor and I have the whitestone (and used Aliexpress $3 loca based protectors), they all work fine. The main difference is the quality of glue used, the cheaper ones pull up like crazy after a few weeks.
I ordered a Spigen 2 pack but I am no expecting much, might go Whitedome this time. Curved displays are a ball ache.
I brought this and it arrived a week ago. The glass is curved: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09FL6GTHJ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
I can take a picture of the glass if anyone wants. I however haven't tried it on the phone (since mine won't ship till early Nov), so I don't know how good it is. But the edges are curved.
I ordered 2x Magglass Tempered Glass Designed for Google Pixel 6 Pro Screen Protector (2021) UHD Full Coverage Display Guard (Case Compatible), so I'll give a review when I get the phone and put it on. It was either the sole tempered glass one I could find or one of only a couple. I've never used this brand although I've heard of them and seen them.
By the way, on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 512 GB (which I love the hardware but hate the software, having come from the Pixel 1), I bought the Note 10+ phones for my wife and I a year and a half ago, and it took a while to receive a screen protector. I dropped that phone at least 10 times before I also received an Otterbox Defender, since a lot of stuff was getting delayed. That phone is just so slippery without a case (I know, this is a screen protector thread).
I'm so glad the screen wasn't damaged before I got the protector on it. The phone came with something basic already on the screen that wasn't really a protector, but it might've helped keep it from damage until I got the rest of my accessories.
