I recently bought a Pixel 2 XL and spent some time on Amazon looking for a well reviewed tempered glass screen saver. Could not find one. So, decided to check with a company that I have used previously for all my phones- MIME Ghost GLass.
Thankfully they have one for the Pixel 2 XL!! It is slightly curved and provides excellent coverage. Excellent adhesive, no dot matrix, a completely quality product. Have always had excellent experience with Mime, very highly recommend.

$33 ouch lol. I use to but from this company
Does it adhere to the entire screen or just the edges?
Adheres to the whole screen
It adheres to the whole screen, which is what i love about it. Yes it is expensive, but each of the ones that i have had on my previous phones have lasted years. Very durable. I had one on my Nexus 5 and when I finally dropped the phone the glass performed admirably. It shattered but not even a minor scratch on the phone screen.

Got any pics with it installed?
Just ordered one. Cant wait for the full adhesive. Expsinve, but so is the phone lol. Free shipping code is 12238.
Hmm, trying to justify the $34 price tag.
I'd rather spend 33 bucks up front rather than 50 bucks worth of cheap protectors that drive me nuts and I wind up trashing
I'm actually holding out for Dome Glass which is supposed to be released late next week.

I assume it's because it's bent. They just can't laser cut a sheet of glass in mass.

Is it just me, or does those pictures show a dot matrix?
Ya, there's definitely a dot matrix there. Still looks like a nice protector. Wouldn't the dot matrix imply it's not a full adhesive though?
Yeah, doesn't look like it adheres to the entire screen then. Holding out for whitestone dome.

Dot matrix doesn't imply, it confirms.
The guy has 9 posts and there is clearly a dot matrix....obviously a push for sales of the product...do not buy people

Man that does look good. If only it was cheaper though.
Not a push for sales and yes I am a junior member. The only reason i decided to post was to help out given how hard it was for me to find a good screen protector. I do not see a dot matrix when i look at the screen. I could care less what you do with your phone.
Actually you are right. I went back and looked at the pictures closely. And yes it looks like a dot matrix. But, I had to look in the picture to tell it. You cannot see the dot matrix in person at all. I even tried increasing the screen brightness all the way to 100 percent to see if I would see it and I did not.

So I took a look on Amazon, and a few Tempered Glass Screen Protectors are showing up for the V20.
I had an issue finding a good one with my Note 4 due to the slight curve on the edge, I ended up with one from intelliArmor that is as good as I could find for edge-to-edge coverage.
And the Note 7 is even worse. I have read through their threads for weeks, and no one has been able to find a good glass screen protector that works properly with the curved edges.
Since the V20 does not have this issue, I woukd think the glass screen protectors for it would fit without any problem.
Those for V10 will work though V20 is a bit longer in length.
be careful. the top and bottom curves. Chris Chavez of phandroid discovered this.. there's a glass protector on amazon with a 1 star review, and it's him. he has pics. it looks awful. you have to get one that doesn't cover the 2nd screen or the LG logo on bottom. basically just a rectangle.

Can't wait myself for the V20 to be on sale. Looking forward to the deal with the B&O headphones.
look at supershieldz. they have one on there that just looks like it covers the screen itself so it shouldn't bubble up.

Yup, same with this one - https://www.amazon.ca/Protector-MoK...8&qid=1476918653&sr=8-1&keywords=lg+v20+glass
Going to return mine.
I can verify that there are curves. The Orzero 2 pack I got on Amazon (now unavailable) bubbles on the sides and top. I'm not sure tempered is gonna be an option for this phone unless it's barely covering the actual display and not the second screen at all.
Ordered directly from Nillkin. Takes a while from China but I've loved their TPGs on 6p and Note4

Good thing Amazon has a nice return policy. Sucks i already had taken off the og protector.
I ordered these for my wife an I. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LKVLTQ6/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Will report back later, they arrive sunday
you need to get one that covers the screen only. the top and bottom of the phone have a slight curve that glass screen protectors won't stick to. i have tried 2 different brands and it is the same issue. gotta find one that covers the actual screen only.
looks like I am going to return the supershieldz I ordered a few days ago...the 1 star reviews are brutal
I want a glass cover that covers the ENTIRE screen including the front facing camera. I have one for my V10 and FF camera pics are fine.
WHY do they make it with a slight curve on the top and bottom? It looks like this will be like the Note 7 where no one could find a glass screen protector that fit right.

Probably for durability. Also smoothness to the user..
Fret not guys. Nexus 6 Shamu had curved glass at the top bottom and sides and took a while to get TG that didn't halo. Granted I think for Shamu the TG OEMs used thicker adhesive on the edges , in addition to matting. Took a few revisions to get it right. The Note7 never had time for revisions.
I have been emailing back and forth with MIME asking if they were going to make a tempered glass for this phone and they said absolutely "as long as enough people contact us to show interest".

I have a few left from my V10, it's a total rectangler glass, no cut out for the front cam, do you think this will work, i've only preordered my V20, haven't got it yet so I can't test it out.

Ya I think the only good reviews on those are from the ones that got it free to review. If I see comments saying they got it for testing to review I always move on.
has anyone tried the one from verizon or no what brand it is? i will be willing to pay a small fortune to big red if it fits well
I almost tried every possible maker out there for a glass screen protector for my s8+.. Alllllll are as bad as it can ever be.. From the 50$ glass to the 6$ once..
Given all the above.. And given my experience from the pixel xl.. Rhino was the only company that made a perfect glass screen protector, FULL ADHESIVE.. yes full adhesive, BUTTT no idea if they were able to perfect this one, no mention in the website if it's full adhesive or not, but i took my chances that at least it should work better thab any out there even if not full adhesive.. I pre ordered it, and i think they started shipping..
Crossing my fingers that they will step up and make one that really works.. I live out of the US, so mine will take few more days to arrive, but if any pre ordered and is expecting to receive it soon.. Please share your experience with us here. (while we "i am" waiting)..

I ordered one back on 4/10. That was the first day that I saw the Rhinoshield products for the S8+ online. I ordered the Crashguard bumper as well as the tempered glass screen protector. When I ordered on the 10th the site said the orders would ship from 4/10 - 4/20 for the bumper and 4/15 - 4/25 for the screen protector. The 21st came and my bumper wasn't even shipped, so I sent them a message on Friday asking how I was supposed to protect my phone now LOL....I was being a bit of a jackass but still if they couldn't ship it by the 20th don't tell me you can. The girl sent me back an email offering me free 2 day international shipping and told me that I would for sure be in the first batch if I switched my color to black for the bumper (I had originally gotten the gray to go with my arctic silver phone) so I did. Now she originally told me that the screen protectors would be ready before the bumpers so I assume this package contains both items.....my order says fulfilled and there is nothing to lead me to believe it is partially fulfilled.
Just this morning I got a shipping notice and it has been picked up by Fedex in Taiwan. It is supposed to be at my door on Wednesday according to Fedex.....I'll let you guys know how it is.
Never has luck with glass protectors so i al with wet instsll skinomi ones.
I did order a rhinoshield crash graud.
Kinda sucks that they delay the release.

Really.. Thats a great news.. If they were able to do it full adhesive as they did in the pixel xl.. They will kill the market.. Lets wait and see.. Coz with the pixel, it took them 2 versions (editions) of improvements to reach the perfect one.. Thank you for sharing that..
That would be awesome if its full adhesive, although I don't see a case friendly one unless I missed it

I just got mine at my house and hour ago. I installed the TGSP first. It isn't what everyone here is hoping for I don't think. Regardless of what the spokesperson told the guy in chat the adhesive does not cover the entire back of the protector, it is just like the other curved ones that have it on the sides/edges. With that said, it does appear to be the good silicone adhesive. I've been rubbing the edges of mine damn near constantly since I put it on and see no lifting yet. I also don't notice any tapping when I touch the screen. It does have those little dots to help with glare or whatever, but this isn't the first glass I've had with those.
Now with all that said......this is my first curved screen phone and thus my first curved screen TGSP. I've read all the posts here about how it sucks for curved screen phones. In this short time honestly I can't tell you that I notice a different between this one and the Zagg glass that I had on my Nexus 6P or the Spigen glass that my wife has on her iPhone 6s. Now granted that might change, but I think as of right now it is decent and will protect my screen from scratches. Now the fact that it doesn't have adhesive across the device leads me to believe that the impact protection of this TGSP versus a flat one that is adhered across the whole screen is not as good.....but I don't drop my phone much.
I also got the crashguard bumper from them and it is OK. It feels a little loosey goosey even for a bumper but I think I can live with it. The only real issue that I see with it is the button over the bixby button won't actually touch/actuate the bixby button itself. The power and volume rocker work fine even if they are tighter than ****'s hat band. The cutouts for the mics, speaker, USC-C port, and headphone jack are spot on accurate.

Unfortunately it appears that either that person did lie to you or they were ignorant to the way the thing was really designed.
Now that you mention it I looked again and I do see a tiny spot of rainbow effect. It is small so I wouldn't really care, but the problem is it is directly in the circle for my left eye when the iris scan pops up....kind of annoying.
I don't have another camera handy to take a pic at the moment....when I get home from work I'll try to see what kind of pics I can get of the edges with my wife's ip6s. So stand by for a few hours on those

Thank you for your detailed update..
Honestly i wasn't expecting them to reach the level of full adhesive, for one simple scientific reason, curved screens are not identical, there is always a difference in the curving margin that is acceptable from manufacturing quickly prespictive (i remember reading an article about that), and the adhesive should be really thick (relatively) to avoid that margin which will reflect into bluring the screen and lowering the clarity to a very noticeable level..
Given all that, my hopes were just for them to make something that is more decent than what's in the market, and from ur description, i can say "MAYBE".. I will have to wait and see when i get mine, coz i literally tried everything there, except for the siphhire semi-film/glass by zagg, and the genuine Samsung thick plastic protector - waiting for those to arrive, They both are a middle way solution, nor a film neither a glass, just a thick plastic protector..
So, I got an email from XtremeGuard talking about some "Cyber Monday" sale, 90% off the entire site, but their code cyber90 wasn't working. Another one, save70, was working just fine, put in an order for their Spartan Tempered Glass Screen Protector for the Pixel 2 XL just now. I don't know if it's curved, full adhesive, has a dot matrix, but thought I'd just give ya'll a heads up that there's a sale going on. I got mine for $9.

I don't care about the notch, the dimensions look like they extend to the curved part. This will lift.

Keep us posted on how it works.
I had one on my phone for a while.. it's not curved, it's flat, and hangs over the curved edges. It's not dot matrix. With the right case it can be bearable, but in the 2 weeks i had it on my phone the "halo" effect of the edges hanging over collected a lot of dust. Nothing got under the actual screen where the protector was adheared to it. For as dirt cheap as you can usually get these, they're not bad to have a couple around just in case.

I used their film protector and the cutouts/dimensions were horrible and way uneven. I used to use extremeguard all the time but their quality has worsened over the years.
still works today, thanks so much ordered a couple for different phones

On their twitter they announced they'd be releasing them some time in November - https://twitter.com/whitestonedome/status/1054799639529095168
Hopefully earlier rather than later, the one I'm using now doesn't cover my full display area and it's a tad annoying.

These Mr Shield ones - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FTHLLB2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_QS9ZBbBZ7K44T
I will say I think I prefer these over the ones with the black bezels that don't have full adhesive. I had issues with those on my OnePlus 5.

Ahh gotcha. Was curious if you had the Zagg "Made for Google" one. I was thinking of getting the Zagg until Whitestone but that's a lot to spend on thin pieces of glass.
I'm a huge fan of Whitestone, especially after my experience with it in my 2XL. With that said, I got the Verizon branded screen protector to use in the meantime and I am so impressed I can't see a reason anymore to get the Whitestone. Only cost me $19 too.

How's the screen coverage? Any ghosting/lifting around the edges?

It's 100% edge to edge of the viewable display and since it has adhesive all over, there is no ghosting or rainbow effects. I had one of the corners initially not 100% attached (lower right), but one day after having it in the bathroom with a hot shower, the steam must have fixed it and now it's 100% flawless.
My advice is to align it first with masking tape while the screen is lit, then just keep masking tape on one side to flip it onto the screen once it's been cleaned.

my verizon glass didnt do very well, wouldnt seal on the bottom left corner. it was installed by the verizon tech. they said it would go away, never did. i will probably order this glass when it comes available. i like the process, and how it really centers on the screen. this glass with my MNML case.. should be perfect.
Oh yeah the way the glue spreads when you place the White Stone Glass Screen Protector is amazing. I had it on my S9 and I will never go back to anything else. I have the Verizon one on my Pixel 3 right now and yeah there is one little tiny corner that never sticks but it so tiny I can barely see it unless I am in the right light. It works for now until White Stone gets one out for us.

When installing these screen protectors it really helps to do it in the bathroom with a hot shower running. The humidity keeps the dust down. Youll probably be sweaty when your all done putting it on but its worth it.
Just a heads up for those wanting glass screen protectors, Zag is selling them now (unlike Google Store at time of writing) and not sure why but got a big discount. 2 of the Glass Elite VisionGuard+for*Google Pixel 5 for $75 after tax and shipping. They gave me a 30% off discount.
Probably get them cheaper later, but last time we got phones on release date (Pixel 2) we didn't get screen protectors until a week after the phones showed up. So this time we got cases and screen protectors right away.

Bro liquid glass is the way to go. I have been through a ton of glass screen protectors on the 2 XL and they all suck, even the expensive ones. I got liquid glass and never looked back. P5 might be different because the screen is flat, but I'm getting liquid glass anyway. You can always do liquid and throw a glass screen on top of it.

I had mine applied at Fixit Mobile, and I believe they use WowFixit. From what I have read, the products all use Silicon Dioxide as the main ingredient. I don't know that much about the product, except that it works well, it's not noticeable, and does resist fingerprints somewhat. It's not perfect for fingerprints, but I haven't got any scratches in about a year. I have heard that you should reapply after a year, so I probably need to reapply. I will do some research and make a post at some point. I plan to do liquid glass on my P5, so I should post something in the next 2-3 weeks. This is something I looked at recently.

Sounds a lot like the "ceramic coating" that is promoted for use on car paint all the time now. I'd be willing to bet it's the same thing.

The cheap "9H ceramic coating" or spray on SiO2 coatings anyway, not the year-long lasting professional ones.
I just installed the Zagg Invisible Shield Glass Elite + on my Pixel 5 and sadly, it's peeling at the upper right corner. A bit disappointed.

If I'm being honest I've been less than satisfied with their product on my Pixel 2XL. I went through 3 or 4 via their warranty process and just gave up and went naked with a bumper case. Much happier, with minimal scratching after owning since release (preordered).
I'll always use a case because I abuse things but I am finding more and more that screen protectors aren't a necessity, even for someone who throws phones in backpacks etc when out on a trail.
Ordered one and it didn't sit down all the way. It wouldn't stay down on the lower right corner, despite no dust or anything. Ended up disappointed and moved on.
So this is definitely a "your mileage may vary" sort of deal. I purchased two of the zagg protectors, along with a pack of Spigen and Otomon tgsps. So I was prepared.
Anyhow, I did the shower trick installation to keep dust from floating around. First Zagg I used would not apply around the camera lens no matter what. Tried the second Zagg that I ordered and although there were bubbles initially, they went away after 20 mins or so. Perfect installation.
Long story short, you shouldn't have to buy two of a certain tgsp like I did in the event that one is defective, but doing so worked out in my case. Your first application may work correctly or it may not.
Edit:. Also the fitment is perfect. There is no rainbowing on the sides due to being cut short. Could the tgsp have been a little wider? Maybe, but would risk it lifting on one of the sides.
