Reddit reviews amFilm Glass Screen Protector for Google Pixel 2 XL, Tempered Glass, 3D Curved

Normally I would recommend IntelliArmor, but the flat TGSP was delayed and early reports are that the curved glass one is garbage.

In the meantime, I like Pure Gear. I have never seen anyone else on this sub mention it.

It is not particularly better quality than any other similarly priced screen protector, but it is the only one I have seen which includes an installation tray. As long as all decent TGSPs have colored bezels, I feel like the installation tray is a big deal.

Additionally, Pure Gear is the only brand I have seen which will pay to fix your actual screen if the screen protector fails to protect.

Edit: Proof they will pay to fix your screen — Front of box. Pure Pledge insert.

If you do not want to spend more than $20, amFilm is pretty much your only option. The quality is not significantly lower than the Pure Gear one, but no installation tray.

Most of the low review scores for the amFilm are from bad adhesive on the first batch, but this was corrected. The rest are usually from edge sensitivity issues, but that turned out to be a software problem and will be fixed soon. These guys actually have good customer service and sent me a free replacement when they updated the adhesive, but I have not applied it due to having already put the Pure Gear on. For the record, I had no problems even with the original adhesive. I just broke the protector (which was completely my fault, not the protector's).

If you want one that works with your case:

Ideally the Griffin TGSP or the intelliArmor HD TGSP, but both are sold out right now. They're well cut out, have adhesive all over the screen protector, seemingly high quality, and work well with cases.

The amFilm TGSP is what I went with temporarily. The updated adhesive one sticks just fine, and it doesn't collide with the case at all while still covering the screen.
Provides solid enough protection, and it's not really noticeable that there is adhesive only on the edges. The dot matrix on it does suck, but isn't that noticeable while looking at the phone straight on.

A lot of others I've read are poorly cut out, have poor adhesive, or/and are very difficult to put on. Not problems with the amFilm at least, though I'd still prefer full screen adhesive & no dot matrix.

3D TGSPs are good if you don't expect to use them with a case. They do cover the edges of the screen better, though I don't feel unprotected in any way with a flat TGSP & a case. If you try to use a 3D TGSP with a case, the case edges might apply pressure to the edges of the 3D TGSP, making the screen protector come off or break prematurely.

For anyone curious about liquid screen protectors: they are fine for scratches, but unlike the TGSPs, they won't absorb impact as well in the case of a fall. This makes the screen more susceptible to cracking than if you were using a TGSP, so stick to those IMO.

How is the Zagg protector? I currently have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075WW69PS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it is terrible.

I'd personally recommend this one:

My wife and I are both currently using the "updated adhesive" model, and it's already saved my wife's screen twice.

• Dot matrix is only noticeable with the screen off, or in bright daylight when viewed at a particular angle.

• There's a tiny "rainbow" effect, once again only noticeable with the screen off, or in bright daylight when viewed at a particular angle.

• The "3D" curve doesn't quite cover the entire glass front, but it does absolutely well enough that you'll forget it's there after a short time.

Just my take on the matter. Personally, I'll take the few, small trade-offs over a broken or scratched screen any day.

I have an amFilm screen protector. I love it.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075WW69PS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_QCoaAbRHMB704

I have that one and it covers the whole phone while also giving me the ability to use a case. It is reflective though but I got used to that quick.

Hey everyone. I just recently got the amFilm curved TGSP. So far I like it. It does have a dot matrix, but it's only visible if you look for it. I would never notice it otherwise. I have no touch sensitivity issues either. The TGSP works great with my Fabric case as well! It was super easy to apply. I do have a small rainbow effect, but I've been seeing that if you give it a day or two, it goes away, so I will update with that. I feel comfortable recommending this, especially for the price. Here's a link.

Edit: rainbow effect is already gone less than an hour in. If you hold your phone at an angle under light with this TGSP on, you can see the dot matrix but I'm not too bothered by it. This is more personal preference though so take it with a grain of salt!

Second. I'm very happy with mine.

I use this one...

Ignore the poor reviews, they were for the first version of it, the revised one is fine.

I've been pretty happy with this one:

$12.99

No problems with a number of cases I've tried and very little pocket lint, nothing a puff of air won't knock out. There are probably better ones, this is the only one I've tried and I've felt no need to look further in the 2 months I've had it.

I have this one and a few of my friends have also bought it due to recommendation, we all love it: https://www.amazon.com/Protector-amFilm-Tempered-UPDATED-ADHESIVE/dp/B075WW69PS

I've used this one regularly and have not had an issue with it not sticking correctly.

I have bought a few of these and the fit is amazing. Only issue is you get a weird rainbow effect under the protector sometimes. But for the fit and price is worth it.

It's far from perfect, but it's the first one that didn't fall off 3-5 days later..

I also use it with the rhinoshield crashguard, so case usage will vary.

I've bought multiple of these tempered glass screen protectors on Amazon and use them along with a phone case. The screen still has the same feel and responsiveness.

They hold up really well against cracking during everyday use and normal drops and falls. The only minor problem I've had is that dust can occasionally work its way under the protector, leaving tiny little spots (but that's on a phone that is constantly in a very dusty environment). I dropped my phone screen side down on dirt/gravel and accidentally stepped on it. The screen protector shattered of course, but my phone was perfectly fine with not a scratch on the actual screen.

FWIW, looks exactly like this product on Amazon for $13
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075WW69PS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_q0iJAbT19N777

Using one now. Has the dot matrix but doesn't bother me. My biggest complaint is dust/pocket lint has seeped underneath after installation.

Zagg Glass is probably one of the better ones even though they're expensive. There are cheaper alternatives on Amazon, however, dust creeps in after a few weeks of use and you do get a little bit of the rainbow/ oil effect when the screen is off. Least with Zagg, you get a lifetime replacement if you keep breaking the protector.

Check out Whitestone Dome for the Pixel 2 XL too. Pricey, but looks like it solves all of the curved screen problems everyone runs into from time to time.

Personally, I have https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075WW69PS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it works great with cases (X-Level Guardian and Spigen Rugged Armor). I do have the two issues I mentioned above, but so far it really hasn't bothered me all that much yet.

I have this one, and it looks really good. Fits the screen well and works with a case.

[This one from amFilm]
(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075WW69PS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) is great. It was easy to install and comes with a great warranty.

The best one I've had is this one from Amazon (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B075WW69PS?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image) you need a slightly larger case but it fits well and is a decent price.

Maybe because I had issues with it in the past.

I was looking high and low for a screen protector for my Pixel 2 XL and despite a few different ones, I didn't really stick on one that works for my phone. So, I went without a protector for 2 years - only a case (and recently, just the dbrand skin)

Looking back, I noticed that there were very subtle scratches on the screen. But no major ones. I was careful when using the phone, drop it once (no cracks - case protected it), but otherwise, just using it normally.

That's why when I got my P4XL, I just didn't see a need to use one. A case is a different story altogether, but who knows... I may abandon the case too lol.

I use a full screen protector, including upper and lower edge.

Have bought 2 of these Google Pixel 2 XL Screen Protector Glass, amFilm Full Cover (3D Curved) Tempered Glass Screen Protector with Dot Matrix for Google Pixel 2 XL (1 Pack, Black) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075WW69PS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_omDyCb8X4H737 Had to replace the 1st one as it smashed to bits when my phone fell from a 3rd floor carpark roof. My screen survived

I had the same issue and ended up settling with a non glass protector, until I looked on Amazon again and found this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075WW69PS/

It's my first adhesive around the sides only protector and was surprisingly easy to install. Micro dust specks don't matter anymore because there's no adhesive on the clear parts. The only issue I had was one time I dropped my phone and the screen protector just popped off. I stuck it back on but there was visible dust underneath it from the ground. Contacted support and they sent a new one out.

I have the amFilm TGSP for my 2 XL.

It was good at first. Adhesive only on the edges. Dot matrix pattern. I noticed no rainbow effect like the Spigen ones had for the Pixel 1's.

Today, I notice there's a hair between the screen and protector. Seems it slipped in through the adhesive.

I went to their store and saw that they have a version with stronger adhesive, so I contacted them and am awaiting feedback.

If the TGSP is the same, but has stronger adhesive, then it's a win in my book.

I've got an updated Tempered Glass from amFilm with much better adhesive. In my post history you can see me trash the version one and tried new ones.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075WW69PS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_acZ-zb3DAMT2G

If you have a Version 1, send them an email via Amazon and they sent a replacement.

It's much better. There's sometimes a "rainbow" oil streak depending if there's moisture and humidity in the air which couldn't be helped due to no adhesive on the clear glass it self. So far, I am very satisfied. Better adhesive and no popping sound from poor adhesive. If you want to give this one a try, I would recommend it with the updated version.

Note: it's a dot matrix design and the dots are visible if the screen is off or tilted in an angle to the light.

Someone posted in another thread that they got this from Amazon, after they updated it because apparently the first one sucked. They said the updated version they got was good.

I'm going to give this one a try.

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I had this glass screen protector installed on my XL and it landed on the rounded corner of the screen. The protector shattered but the screen was not damaged.

Yes. I have the Spigen tough armor and it fits perfectly. Dust collects just like any glass screen protector. This has a good amount of adhesive. I used amfilm glass protector previously with my Nintendo Switch so I knew the company was reputable.

Check this one out. I just received mine this week and it does the job. The tempered glass also curves. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075WW69PS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fin2AbE4YDKRA

Edit: nvm, I just noticed you had a pixel 1( not too sure of this will work?)

Update:
This one fits fine for me. I use it with an OtterBox Defender, and there's like a millimeter of clearance between case and protector. This is a dot matrix tempered glass protector with glue around black painted edges. Works fine for me until I pony up for a Domeglass protector
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075WW69PS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_48E4AbBHNZYB5

If you use it with a large case like a defender, put the protector on while the case is on the phone.
