Hi,
I am just curious about what screen protector does everyone recommend
Please post photos of the protector applied to your pixel 2 xl.

Look up Rhinoshield. It's pretty dang neat.
pleson wet application have worked well for me. all standard film ones i have tried left halo. havent tried tempered glass.....never have any good luck with them in the past.
I'm reasonably satisfied by amFilm. It does have "dot matrix", but frankly I even don't see it.
I would stay away from the Zagg Invisible Shield HD. Had terrible luck with that one. I went through three of them. They had horrible orange peel, the edges didn't stick down at all, and they had micro bubbles that never went away. The glass Zagg I tried completely ruined the touch sensitivity of the screen.
I've had very good luck with the Skinomi film screen protector. It's very clear, there is no rainbow effect like the Zagg and it doesn't have the rubbery feel of other films. I'm very happy with it so far. It's also nice that it was a fraction of the cost, and came with two in the box instead of one.

Not optics but i can vouch for ultra crystal clear
I had it on a different phone and I loved it. I will probably pick it up.
It actually saved my screen! That is why I will never have trouble recommending it.
Its a hard screen protector.
Something sharp it my screen with force, dead on center and I saw the entire thing shatter - spider cracks throughout it. I then took off the screen protector and the screen was UNTOUCHED! The screen protector took all the force! The spider cracks were throughout the steinheil screen protector! Since then they are my favourite brand.
You will see smudges on the screen and fingerprints, but thats just like the normal glass anyway. Its very smooth and very clear.

i do read ppl saying optics has some weird kaleidoscope effect under light and since it impairs the display, i'll cross that and ultra fine out. ppl say oleo coating goes away in 2 weeks, cross oleophobic out. crystal for me then. thx.

Spider cracks you mean? I wish i had taken a photo but it was a year ago. I closed the center console door on top of my phone and forgot it had two points that protrude to hold a pen. Those points jammed right into the screen of the phone and it looked like the screen had cracked, but it was actually only the screen protector.
I was very relieved.
The crystal does have a high hardness rating.

I tried out the ultra crystal while waiting for my replacement FlexHD. Ultra crystal is very nice, but prone to fingerprints. Also the cut does not cover the whole screen. Aside from the fingerprints, which are to be expected on a "clear" protector, this is a very nice one but the minimal cut is not to my taste.
I can post pics if anyone is curious.

It's a nice screen protector if you don't mind all the edges being uncovered.
I really prefer the fit of the FlexHD; I will be trying the replacement once SGP sends me it.

Thank you! I'm liking how that looks. Might go with that
Sorry im not very into this invisible shields things but i always heard about zagg, are these better than theirs ?
How well does this screen protector adhere to the screen?
I bought the Belkin Clear ScreenGuard protector for the SGS3 and the Belkin screen protector has started to "bubble" around the screen protector because of the curved nature of the SGS3 screen.
Best dry applied screen protector ?

This is a "wet" skin... he wants a dry application...
And I think Zagg has too much orange peel... BestSkinsEver is way better...
I just got the greatshield matte screen protectors off Amazon. They're pretty good. No complaints yet.

I got a clarivue screen protector on my gnex. Installation (dry) was easy no bubbles at all, screen protector is slightly cut short due to the curved screen. You get 2 for $11(Google clarivue coupon). Only downside you get finger prints.

For being in store they are actually good protectors. I have been using the Rearth protectors and for $11 they are nice.
Try the Martin Fields one. It goes edge to edge and myself and a few others here haven't experienced any lifting.

I couldn't agree more. I purchased 1 based off of a post on another topic. And it is her it hi fingerprints you better than anything I've ever used before and I have purchased a ton of screen protectors. In fact, it is almost cut too big and there was one tiny spot where the adhesive wouldn't work. I'm hoping the Amazon seller will replace it if I pay for shipping. Regardless of the faults I just mentioned and the high price, I recommend the hell out of it!
This - hands down!!

+1 for this. I got one as soon as I got my Nexus and it's done great! It holds up pretty decently against scratches and actually fits the entire screen. It's pretty, and applies flawlessly.
The only bad thing, as mentioned before is fingerprints. They accumulate really quickly and I find myself wiping my phone down every few days.
I use BoxWave anti-glare protectors on all my devices. I like the Teflon-like smoothness they give to the screen, and the slight graininess they add to the display doesn't bother me.
I've not had any problems with the cheap ones off ebay. If you get it wrong, it doesn't matter as they're only around 10p each!

Steinheil ultra oleophobic works great for me.
Ehi guys, which screen protector do you use?
I've got Mediadevil cristal clear. Not bad, but it's not oleophobic at all. Do you know a good oleophobic screen protector? Thank you!
I'm fairly sure the Spigen GLAS series of protectors are oleophobic, as well as the Obliq Zeiss Oleophobic one. Neither of these are as good as the screen but they work well. I have the Obliq one and I love it,

Thank you for your input man, it's my first day with the awesome Nexus 5!
The Spigen GLAS tempered glass screen protectors do have some oleophobic properties, but it still gathers fingerprints quite easily (I have this on my N5). I've also used a Clarivue Anti-Glare screen protector that was also oleophobic, and while it worked for a while the surface started to rub off and was clearly worn out after several months of use, especially around where the keyboard is.
No oleophobic screen protector is perfect (obviously) and be cautious of those that will wear out after some use. And obviously it reduces the screen quality in some cases. Just food for thought.
I use this. It has oleophobic coat like on gorilla glass, but seems to attract some dust in my pocket unlike non-oleophobic screen protectors..

@gnufabio sorry for the off post but would it be any possibility for you to add the tf101 parts to the op so that we can use them without the server?
I just finished installing a Nillkin H+ Tempered Glass Screen Protector. It also has the oleophobic coating (pretty much all tempered glass screen protectors have it, if they want to be rated 9H) and it seems to be working quite well.
The good thing about this one is it has the nice rounded edges and is ~$25 - $30 cheaper than the Spigen. Spigen is charging way too much for what you get. Their glass screen protectors are not worth $40.
Just read through these though, and decide what is best for you.

Just adding a comment that the Nillkin tempered glass oleophoic coating works quite well for me. I have had it for a couple months now, and no complaints. Basically Stock feel (on glass) and I'd say the coating is better than stock screen.

I'm trying to find screen protector that covers entire screen. I don't like tempered glass. I bought ArmorSuit MilitaryShield however the screen does look clear at all, it is kind of grainy mostly when you look at bright background, it is really annoying. Seriously, the original lg protector was way better but it didn't cover entire screen.
Any suggestions?

Sorry I misunderstood. I've been using Xtremeguard on things for years. A quick Google search for coupons will net you 80-92% off. Otherwise they're crazy priced.
Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk
I've tried several and they never seem to fit right because our screens have a tiny curve on the upper and lower portions so the screen protector doesn't fully adhere to those parts.. smh, that sucks..
I am looking one that is clear and covers entire screen. I am really surprised that is so hard to do it. I haven't any problems to find few screen protectors for my edge in the past.
Maybe because v20 is new kid on the market?
I'm using a Skinomi wet apply protector and am pretty pleased with it. It's pretty clear and doesn't feel too soft.

Is it really clear? Or it is hazy? Or it the visibility is compared to original lg screen protector?
It's a wet apply protector, so you can notice it at times, but it's clear. It can get some texture in it if you put your nail into it, but it's pretty self healing. I wouldn't say it's grainy at all.

I ordered a ZAGG self-healing screen protector, it should be coming in the mail today. Admittedly I'm a bit biased to them, as I've never had a single problem with a ZAGG screen for all the years I've used them. Plus, the free return/exchange thing is pretty nice.
I'll post here or update this one when I put it on.

Looking forward to see your feedback ubergeek
Installed the Bodyguardz Pure Arc yesterday and everything went smooth and looks perfect. If you buy this make sure it has the "Express Align Tray" sticker on the front. It makes for an easy, perfect install.
I will wait a few hours before trying any cases. Here are a couple pictures of the packaging and protector on the phone.
I already know that it's way overpriced, has the dot matrix on the screen, only has adhesive on the top, bottom and thin sides. I'm just trying different protectors and wanted to share my experience.
If this protector stays like it is today, I'll be a happy camper.
First case try with the Arc is the UAG Rust Pathfinder and it's a perfect fit. If this case fits I believe most any case will work as the Pathfinder has some of the fattest lips, top & bottom of any case.
Bodyguardz Pure Arch works great with the UAG Monarch.
Very nice. Does the centre lift at all from the screen because of lack of adhesive when it's on the sides, top and bottom? I've read elsewhere it can.
And to go with that question, any touch latency issues?

The center does not lift one bit and the touch sensitivity 100% spot on.
The oleophobic coating on this protector is buttery smooth, way better than the naked glass of the phone it's self.

That's good. I saw a few reviews saying it's not great and that it has touch sensitivity issues, especially when comparing it to the Whitestone dome screen protector.

I'm passing on the Whitestone Dome as I'm not too crazy about curing glue on the face of my device.
Also after the Whitestone has been on your phone for several months how hard will it be to remove.
I'm using the D&P Screen Protector on my S8+ and it's almost identical to this -- It also came with a nice back protector skin.

Read up on UV loca glue. Time has no bearing on how hard it is to get off. It's cured with UV light. So mins or months after it sets it'll be the same. And it peels off like a film protector.
Actually, in the YouTube review I watched the guy was replacing a Bodyguardz arc with the Whitestone and he said it felt a lot better and more positive than the bodyguardz. Subjective I suppose.
I would love if I could get the Whitestone here in Ireland but I can't so I went with the Spigen Neo Flex for now.
