I used to use Spigens GLAS.tr protector, but they seem to have stopped making them, and the GLAS.t ones don't have rounded edges and crack/crumble easily.
I found that they (both types) worked pretty flawlessly and I couldn't even tell a protector was on my screen and my finger slid around it as easy as it would the actual screen.
I've yet to try any other brands, does anyone have any recommendations? Preferibly not as expensive as Spigen, because I'll probably buy 2 or 3 as I will inevitably mess up application of them.
Thanks in advance.

I currently use this one, it's a China glass screen protector. I don't have any problems from buying, but I asked for a replacement and they gladly sent one. It's only a couple of dollars, so I went with it.

I did look at the price earlier, but can't very tell if is really BF deal. The price still seem high.
I came across this post today, which confirms that the Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector for Pixel 3 / Pixel 3 XL will be released around Dec 6th. on Amazon. These are generally the best glass screen protectors around, so this is welcome news.

I did like the Dome on my 2XL, but it would crack every month from seemingly nothing... No drops or impacts and i would pull it out my pocket to find the corner has slightly chipped or there was a small crack along the front.
My zagg glass + has been installed perfectly, no halo effect and so far no chipping or cracks + warranty replacement price is lower than the dome.
Thanks for sharing, if you order please show some pictures.

I used a Whitestone Dome on my Pixel 2XL but curious about alternatives also. The Zagg one looks like a superb alternative so I might end up going that route instead. I know it's unrelated to this specific topic but thanks for the heads up 'cuz I'd never heard of that brand until you mentioned it. :good:

Does anyone know what kind of loca glue is used? I want to do it diy without buying the whole kit. Seems expensive and I have two phones.

Even if you just buy a replacement glass it still comes with the locating kit and all the nessecary items. All it is missing is the LED UV light to cure the glue.
true, but for 1 screen protector, too expensive (for me) with or without 2 lights. If they had two protectors i'd be cool with it.
The logic is
34 bucks:
20 For screen
14 for glue
Where =
10 for glue
10 or 15 for 3 pack of screens

Not just screen and glue. It comes with an alignment tray/kit. Also, they make the highest quality glass I've come across. Water beads up and drips right off. If you want cheaper, but similar then look into sgfreshidea invisshield. You can guy just the glass in however many quantities you want as well as the glue.

after 2 months of paying for various screen protectors the wait for this is irrelevant IMO

Another thing to keep in mind is the cheap screen protectors don't have edge to edge coverage like the Whitestone.

haha, good to see you here brother.
I hear you. Trying to find a solution and get good at it at an affordable price. I try 6,7 phones a year. Heck, i may end up 3D'ing my own design, print them and sell them cheaper!
I should have mine today at some point.

I understand this logic, but the quality doesn't compare. I bought the Zagg and it halo's bad. I've had them warranty it 5 times because they say it shouldn't do that, and all of them have done it. If that doesn't bother you, go with an inexpensive screen protector. For those of us that this bothers, this protector is the solution. Installation is a little more difficult than others, but it's not had at all. I've now invested almost $100 in screen protectors for this phone, but I don't think I'll need to buy another.

USPS tracking says mine's "Out for Delivery" too, but do you think they will actually be delivered today with the USPS in stand-down today in honor of 41? I'd love to find it waiting for me when I get home from work, but realistically, I'm expecting delivery tomorrow.

Amazon sent mine via USPS from Cranbury, NJ. Considering more and more packages have been coming from their own Amazon Delivery contractors in UHaul vans, I was a bit surprised to see this coming via USPS, but at the same time, my local USPS office has been very reliable and good over the past few years, so I've had no concerns with them delivering.

I bet the quality is superior to other screens, just for me having to do RMA's because of the bad speaker, and generally swapping out phones a lot, if I went with this brand. I'll be paying $500/year for this. For me I'd like to cut that budget but I may not be the average consumer.
So, I use Whitestone on my 2XL, but did anyone else have issues on the top and bottom? I applied two over the course of 3 months (1st one got cracked..my fault) but the top and bottom had like where I guess there wasn't enough glue so it got all strange looking? Like swirly patter that wasn't glued down. Still usable, just ugly.
Are these generally case-friendly? Any issues with them becoming unseated when putting in/removing from a case?
Android Central has posted a 20% of code for the Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector sold on Amazon.
https://m.androidcentral.com/hey-google-what-dome-glass
Code is: GPX3AC20
Legit. Just tried it. Thanks.
To bad that it's US only. Not working at Amazon Germany.
Saved 9 bucks. Thanks.
I've been waiting to buy this until Whitestone (or anyone, really) posts up some dimensions for it before I go spending a whole bunch of money on a screen protector that doesn't fit with my case (Spigen Tough Armor) . This discount might just make it worth taking the dive.

From all the reviews I've seen, the screen protector leave PLENTY of space around all 4 edges of the display. More than enough to fit just about any case.

I'm looking for something cheaper than the white dome that'll work with the fingerprint sensor. On Amazon I stumbled upon this: https://www.amazon.com/Friendly-Qun...red+glass+uv&qid=1556643737&s=gateway&sr=8-54
It seems to be a new product since there are no reviews. Anyone have experience with it?
UPDATE: I decided to purchase it because it had free prime one day shipping and I needed protection. A buddy of mine always buys whitedome and couldn't tell the difference. it was obviously a little more complicated than your regular tempered glass install but it took about 10 minutes of my time to get it almost perfect. Even after I had accidentally spilled some of that glue to the side. Fingerprint sensor still works, no issues there. Fit perfectly with my Spigen clear case. Saved $20 from whitestone, I'm happy.

This is only $15 cheaper than WhiteStone Dome, is saving $15 really worth the possible effects/problems of putting something with zero reviews on your $1,000 device?

It is a tempered glass screen protector... I cannot justify spending $50 on a piece of glass... The price is still somewhat high but it looks like it provides an almost identical experience for less. I didn't ask because I was worried about side effects. I was just curious if the fingerprint sensor would function properly, I probably should have clarified that.

WhiteStone also comes with a extra tube of glue in case you mess up the first installation and a lifetime warranty on their products. Seems worth the $15 over this generic brand IMO.
Why not trying InvisShield? for what I've read it is not as good as whitestone (smoothness) but its a fraction of the cost. I've ordered it and will get it next thursday, could get 2 screen protectors and 3 tubes of glue for less than the whitestone.

Not Bull, but there is a $10 shipping fee for a replacement glass. Similar to other company warranties like OtterBox they charge you $7 shipping for warranty replacement.

And imo whitestone isn't worth the price. I've tried to use them on my past s9 and s9 phones as well as my note series phones. All of them eventually started prying up at the corners and sides from cases. Imo if you cant use a case with it, it isn't worth it. And to be clear I was using spiegen cases.
For this reason I stopped using screen protectors on all curved glass phones.

Sorry to tell you but your issues with WhiteStone are user error and self inflicted. I have also used WhiteStone on the Note8, S9+ and Note9 and never had your prying up issues. But then again I also research and make sure the case I choose fits with the WhiteStone dome glass so they are a perfect match, so if the case you choose rubs the glass and eventually raises the glass that would be your fault and not the WhiteStone. There are "WhiteStone Case Capability" threads here on XDA and other forums online, check them out prior to making your purchase.

I'm not going to get in a pissing contest with you on this, if it works for you then great. I for one buy a case that fits my needs and one that I like, I don't settle for something to conform because its compatible to a product.
It's not user error the loca is spread eventually throughout the entire screen protector and it is cured. This happens after 3 or 4 months after the screen protector is applied not right away. This is my experience with the product. Your mileage may vary and like I said great.

Whitestone dome isn't anything special from the generics. The $50 glass screen protector days are coming to an end for them.
Of course they're still suckers who think cuz you pay more you get more which isn't true

This. When checking on Amazon, a bunch of alternatives don't come with a tray which is probably why they're looked down upon, this does so I see no benefit of having the white dome.
I just bought this and should arrive tomorrow. I'll update with the findings later. Im not about to pay $50 for a screen protector from whitestone, that's ridiculous. Especially since the reviews are so mixed where it's concerned. And im not worried about a warranty, if it goes bad I'd honestly rather just take the loss instead of dealing with customer service ssns STILL not getting a replacement.
I bought a $12 Loca UV TGSP direct from Korea & it works well with the FPS. It just requires more pressure to unlock, kind of like before the FPS update.
I'm glad I waited & didn't shell out $50 for the Whitedome.
