After watching that video I had to support the company that made it cause it's a pretty clever system they've come up with. I don't even care for dry install protectors but I had to try it. The fact that not only do you get 2 screen protectors with each order, you get the mold or jig specific to your device which ensures a properly installed protector every time.
I ordered mine off eBay from a seller named icapsale-istt. The product ships from S.Korea...I bought mine on the 9th, late in the evening, it arrived today. Pretty damn fast shipping if you ask me, especially since they estimated it wouldn't get to me until between 6.26.12 - 7.10.12. Obviously I can't do a product review since I don't have my device yet but rest assured I will once I get it installed.
**Update 6.30.12**
Alright fellas, got it on...installation was as straight forward as the video shows except you do have to get some bubbles out. So before you take off the top layer make sure you use the squeegee to get them all out. Unfortunately I got a spec of dust right smack dab in the middle of my screen but it's not noticeable unless the screen is off so for now it stays. First thing I noticed was the rainbow effect on the protector when the screen is off...when it's on I don't see any abnormalities. The screen feels the same as if it were naked. It doesn't cover the whole screen for obvious reasons (beveled edge around the screen) but during normal useage you don't even realize it. No banding, no rainbow effect, very clear, doesn't seem to effect the display negatively at all. Touch sensitivity is no different than without the protector on. The only thing about this is the price, it's pricey. That being said, it's not head and shoulders better than any other dry install protector i've ever used so hard to justify the price unless you're a noob and that concerned with installing one that the included jig will make you rest that much better...or if you're like me and just wanted to support the company who came out with such a setup for their ingenuity.
Overall, it's a nice protector that will ensure proper placement everytime...if only it could prevent dust as well But the price will turn most off, especially for this type of protector considering most of this type are about a quarter of the price or less. There is no rubbery feel on the display and it looks just as beautiful as it did when it was naked. I give this product an 8/10 only because of the price, would have been a 9 otherwise.
If I was not getting a otterbox defender I would get this. I hate putting screen protectors on wrong and this makes it so you can't.
yeah let us know how well they work. I am interested in seeing some close up shots of it installed as well.
I just purchased one as well!
I'm currently in S.korea and the SS3 isn't even out here yet, I wonder if I can get these here.
It's probably a lot cheaper here (just look at the prices of SGP in Korea compared to the rest of the world).
And does the screen protector cover the whole glass area?

How did it go?
Just got this in yesterday. Took off my XtremeGuard, and these screen protectors are pretty crystal clear and nice.
One problem is their cut. Unless if you have a case, they do not cover the whole phone but for good reason. The phone is a bit curved near the ends so if the hard plastic stretched all the way out it would float and not stick at all.
These are also reusable. To reinstall or reapply I suggest getting a lint remover, peeling off one of the tapes and just sticking your screen protector on it. This way it will remove any dust and you can reapply it.
It also feels great, if you have sweaty or oily hands, this screen protector will accommodate you. Application was easy, I just had a difficult time due to my dogs shedding in the summer heat... they are leaving a lot of hair around.
Summary: I would recommend it. Shipping takes forever though, like 2 to 3 weeks.

Can you post a picture with your screen protector on? The video never really shows it up close.
i ordered two of these one for me and one for my dad, woulda been nice to know that you get 2 covers in one order and based on the picture only a tiny bit of the glass is not covered by the protector

Thanks given :good: Nah man, it feels good. When I first installed an XtremeGuard, as much as I like that protector, it was noticeably tackier than the naked screen. This protectors feels as if it is the naked screen. As for the rainbow thing, yep, exactly as you just said. but turn the phone on and look for the rainbows or any other display defect and you're gonna be hard pressed.

Hello all,
I'm looking for the best tempered glass screen protector for Pixel 2. I have looked through the List of Google Pixel 2 Screen Protectors and I have searched Amazon too, but the reviews are either fake-5-star-reviews, or generally poor reviews.
Can anyone recommend the best option for a Pixel 2 tempered glass screen protector?
Thank you
I have this one and it's the best IMHO and is case friendly. I can attach some pics for you tomorrow.
https://amzn.to/2Psxbes
Spigen, take your time as it fits perfectly side to side on the visual part of the screen only.
Ia am using This glass and it's my third glas right now. 2 times saved my display.
It fits perfect, it is curved.

If you are looking for the best, whitestone dome is probably the way to go. It is expensive though. If you aren't worried about full adhesive and curved so it passes the edge of the display there are a lot more options. Spiegen is good for a lower cost option, but it only goes to the edge of the display and doesn't curve.
Thank you for all the suggestions. I'll definitely use one of these screen protectors

Quick question: do you (or does anyone on the forum) have one of these and can tell me if I can use it in combination with Google's fabric case?
(Also, I am currently in Germany. I can order one, but the translated text on the Amazon listing sounds like a scam. It also claims to "take away blue light". I want my display as intended, not blue-filtered.
FTR, I've been trying to get the "official" SP (Power Support) from the Google store, buy it isn't available in Germany.

I'm currently using one. I think it would fit the Google case, but I haven't tried. I've used it with an OtterBox symmetry, a speigen tpu, and with the moment case with no issues. It covers the full display but still leaves gaps on the edges.
I haven't noticed any significant blue light filtering but I did see that the description stated that. I can try to compare it against another Pixel 2 with a different screen protector and see.
Thanks, that would be nice of you if you could have a look at a second Pixel 2.
FTR, I turned off colour boosting, and really appreciate the near-natural colour provided by Google's OLED settings. I couldn't understand why people complained about the "faded" colours in the beginning. I bought this thing as a camera with a phone, and I want to see my photos as close to what I see while shooting them. Filtering blue light is a bit of a deal-breaker for the glass dome, if perceivable.
I've had 2 Whitestone Dome Glass protectors. The first had to be replaced when my phone slipped through the gap in my pull out couch and when trying to get out it slipped under one of the couch legs, crushing the screen (no screen protector will help in that case). The second came in today, after some back and forth with Whitedome trying to figure out why it was showing out of stock on Amazon, and I had to trash it less than an hour after opening it.
The first one was a hassle to install but once installed I really, really liked it. The second had a broken bottom piece for installation, causing an imbalance in the phone and I went through 3 (one left over from first install) adhesion tubes before I realized that was why a good bit was slipping over the edge of the phone and not across the display. When I realized what was going on I was kind of angry it even happened, wasn't paying much attention, and the protector cracked when I was removing it to try and clean up everything...
I either got lucky with the first or REALLY unlucky with the second, but either way I'm not buying another one. The installation process isn't exceedingly difficult, but it's just way too cumbersome for what it should be, costs too much, and just isn't worth the headache. Really disappointed in it. Luckily Amazon did me a solid and is letting me refund it.
That first was by far the best I found for TGSP's for the Pixel 2. I'm really hoping the Pixel 3 goes back to fully flat glass, not this "it's curved just enough at the edges to make it extra difficult for third parties to make screen protectors" crap.
Follow-up: I tried it and it works with the fabric case, there is stilla gap. @jppowers is right about the installation process, it is a buggerance. I had an air bubble, glue spilled under the protective sticker on the speaker and it was generally cumbersome.
There is some blue light filtering, which makes sense given that the glue is near-UV-polymerised, but my brain compensates this and I don't see it if not in direct comparison with a screen without the protector.

Hello,
Does this screen protector actually curves around the 2.5d edge of Pixel 2 or is it just that the edges are sloping to give a smoother feel when finger meets the edge of scren protector, but the actual contact surface side of scren proterctor is flat? Would be awesome if you could share close up pictures of this protector on your phone. I am wondering if this screen protector actually creates no ugly halo effect around the preimeter when applied?

Thank you this one looks interesting, tempted to buy one myself, but maybe you have idea why there is significant amount of dust stuck? Is protector not full adhesive? Could it be that due to contouring it is unable to stick to whole screen surface properly? Misapplied or high-dust environment?

Hey, I don't really know what could be the problem. At the beginning everything was OK, but later problem with dust appeared. I am in normal surroundings, with no extra dust. Office-house.
I bought, as reserve, from same guy foil protection also. Maybe it will be better.
When a screen protector only has glue on the edges the dust enters at the speaker openings. I'm still using my original Spigen Glass protector with zero dust since it adheres to the whole screen but doesn't cover the curved sides, the pack comes with 2 protectors and I will swap it out soon as the fingerprint resistance isn't the best anymore(but it's been almost a year).
Whitestone's Dome is definitely the best by far, but just as everyone else has mentioned, the installation process is a massive hemorrhoid. For what they charge they oughta include a professional in-home installation service.
I highly suggest to anyone who gets the Dome, set aside 2 hours, watch the videos online, prep your area, and be extremely patient. Also, make sure you've eaten and haven't had anything that will make you jittery or anxious like coffee, it will make the whole process much easier to handle and you'll be much less likely to fly into a rage if you run into issues.
Also, as mentioned by others, be sure to fully inspect your glass before you attempt to install it. There is a very thin film on the back of the glass to keep it from splintering in the event of a shatter, and sometimes they end up with bubbles between the glass and film during manufacturing. I went through both tubes of adhesive and a lot of frustration before I realized the bubble was not a personal application error but a flaw in the glass. Getting a replacement was no issue, but I still lost two hours and grumbled quite a few choice words.
Caveats aside, it's a superb full coverage TGSP.

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.

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?
Sent from my SM-T820 using Tapatalk
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.
Subscribing to this thread :highfive:
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.
Hey guys! Just thought I'd share my experience trying to hunt down the best screen protector for my Galaxy S10e.
After trying about 4 different glass protectors all with pinch hole camera cut outs and being dis satisfied with the look and feel of the edges I decided to try one that came with a solid glass that covered the front entirely. It also had a super thin black boarder that I wasn't entirely convinced I was going to like.
Turns out it is AMAZING!! Phone looks literally as if there is nothing on. Edges are completely smooth so no more scratchy feeling whenever I slide my finger to use the edge display or gesture navigations.
Totally felt I had to share this! You can search for it on Amazon! :highfive:

Sorry wasn't sure if I could share a link i just added it to the OP. Yes it is case friendly and I belive the black border covers a super small part of the screen that is a fraction of a millimeter. When using edge lighting all you need to do is increase the thickness a bit.
However it does not get in the way at all and from my experience it is way better than other screen protectors I have tried that have transparent as they reflect the light at angles. Also the borders look terrible during the day, you can clearly trace it with your eye. This one literally reflects no light and looks like if there is nothing on it at all (the black border provides this effect)
Furthermore, this one comes with a plastic frame that makes placement and alignment such a breeze!
Hope that helps!

Got the Nillkin glass protector -> https://www.nillkin-case.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=6425
It's covering the whole display, with black borders around it(they eat 1-2mm from the actual display).
Very happy about it. Bought it at a locat shop with about 20 euros.

I Love this screen saver
amFilm for Samsung S10e by TechMatte
Very easy install with alignment tool, nice squeegee tool got all the bubbles out. Looks excellent after install was complete. Will update in a few days to see how it look after a few days of use but so far so good. Was probably the easiest Tempered glass screen saver I have ever installed, very satisfied
Bought this exact screen protector because I wanted something inexpensive and without a cam cutout (I'd rather deal with an additional layer of glass on a front camera I anyway never use than with dust piling up in a tiny cutout). Well, I don't share OP's enthusiasm. A corner started to shatter appart after only a week, and I didn't even drop it or anything. It was in the same pocket as my lighter which might be the culprit but c'mon, if it can't handle a lighter and turns into a H8 shards dispenser that soon, how is it supposed to prevent scratches on the screen ?
Another corner got damaged after a 50cm (metric FTW) drop on wooden floor and I decided to get rid of it altogether.
It's cheap, it's easy to apply, it looks good (although the black border overlaps the screen by maybe half a millimeter), and it might last a bit longer for someone less careless than I am, still not a viable long term option according to me.

Sucks you had a bad experience with it. So I ended up reaching out to them after myself finding my screen protector had cracked and they sent me another one for free.
It probably isn't the strongest screen protector but it's cheap, easy to install, and looks great! It's TRUE the protectors with the hole punch are a haven for dust and just look hideous in general.
If you stumble across a better screen protector I'd love to hear about it! Perhaps I'll try it out next if this one tanks on me again
Cheers!

I should receive one from LK in a couple days, let's see how it holds. I cannot ask for a replacement, I'm french and they offer replacement only in america, but this time there's 3 in the package.
Does the amFilm protector black edge cover visible part of the screen like Nilkin does? Nilkin protector black sides cover also OLED visible screen (half mill on each side).

Yes it does. I have one installed now and it cuts off a sliver on each side
There were replacement screen protectors for the main screen of the Z Fold2. I noticed Whitestone and other companies are advertising screen protectors for the Fold3. I assume these would be applied on the main screen directly as the Fold3 does not have a Samsung installed protector?
Also any recommendations for the front screen?
I believe the internal has a preinstalled screen protector. Same as the fold 2.
I was unable to get information if the exterior one has a screen protector or not.
I would think so since it seems normal for samsung now.

Idk I tried out the phone in store, and this iteration of the fold felt more like glass and less like plastic and I didn't see a noticeable screen protector like the Fold 2.
Thinking about getting Ferilinso Designed for Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G Flexible TPU Screen Protector. Just a precaution, rather safe than sorry.

Idk I tried out the phone in store, and this iteration of the fold felt more like glass and less like plastic and I didn't see a noticeable screen protector like the Fold 2.

They did say thicker protector and its tpu i believe.
I had screen protectors that feel "like glass" vs cheap plastic before.
Either way all a step in the right direction

Well whatever they did, I was very impressed with what I felt today and it made my decision to make the jump and pre-order
They changed the screen protector to PET, this is one of the best and most overlooked features.

Where did you find it in store? I haven't actually held one yet but my order is in. Thought about swinging by a Best Buy soon.

Best buy had one but it was off and I couldn't power it on, Verizon had one on and working, so I got to actually play with it. I'm telling you, the improvements they did to the folding screen are amazing imo. That's always been my thing that keep me from getting the fold, but as soon as I felt how much better it was on the 3, I went ahead and pre-ordered.

MrMobiles review advised they have used a new type of screen protector this year that ends underneath the bezels of the screen, so its more 'built in' than ever. It's also not made from TPU, so you wont get those nasty finger smudge marks as much.

Maybe they were tired of repair screens of people who ripped the protector off and somehow damaged the screen, lol. I changed screen protectors on my z Fold 2 weekly trying to find the right one and the screen was always perfect.
Also the PET screen protectors definitely don't smudge as much and they're easier to wipe off. I hope they're scratch resistant if they're making it harder to remove. I'm ocd about hairline scratches in my screen protectors. Drives me insane.
Hi, I have removed the screen protector on my fold2 and I'm using it for months without any protectors - I could not stand the plastic feelings - the glass touch is perfect on the fold2 and it does not scratch that much. I'm curious - as the fold 3 has now non removable PET layer - how it would be compared to the fold2 without any protectod vs the fold 3 ?
Watching some videos from Korea, and it seems Whitestone Dome has a UTG screen protector for the inner folding screen.
Sorry, video is in Korean, but no doubt you can work it out from watching.
Whitestone Dome Silk.

I think that thing is like $80.
My whitestone silk is arriving tomorrow, still waiting on my phone to ship out next week
I hope that this PET protector wil be still possible to remove to have nice glass experience.
On my fold 3 I can feel a edge from screen protector so it seems to be removable, it isn't embedded under the plastic frame.
You already have fold 3? Can you please tell me how is the feeling / touch on the built in PET protector? Is it glass like touch/look?

Yes that is correct I got mine on 18th August after ordering it on 11th August. I can say surface is smooth and feels good. Hardly any visible finger prints when device is on. Like it is with those plastic ones that makes it visible.
