I ordered here on ebay (GearMaxx Ultra clear) front/back
Skinomi making fat protectors
Or get this one here which comes with a case for a couple of $ more.

I like skinomi, bodyguardz type of protectors for the body but hate them for the screen - especially if you're trying to write on the screen. The rubbery friction is not conducive to writing (tried with note 2). For the front, even with a perfectly applied one, it just wont be as clear as naked/glass SP as its just too thick.
I love them, but always tend to not reapply a new one after they fall off after ~6months due to fluff accumulation and you notice the difference in image quality and sharpness.
I will probably go for a case similar to the one I just linked. Too big a screen to not be covered and it also provides drop protection - which skinomi type things don't.

do you take off the factory screen protector that comes applied already or do you just install this on top of it?
I want a matte look which wont hinder the performance of the LCD- any suggestions?

Maaan this GearMaxx just killed everyone.
I faced with incredible quality ! I did not expect such quality. The package is futuristic as hell. I would pay "easy" $50 for this quality item !
"Garbage Skinomi and overpriced SGP" is a joke !
There is 2 front and 2 back protectors.
The quality from the packing to screen protectors are extremely hi-end !
It is even thinner than the SGP- Ultra nano clean. I installed it with "0" issues.
It does not get out from the gaps at all ! If there was no cuts for camera and prox sensor "I" would never tell I got screen protector.
So if you are looking for something "top of the line"....GearMaxx all the way.

These two items seems to be a nice affordable options for the XZU, but I'm still wondering which one to choose from it's reviews...
Avetny, when you say that the Gearmaxx is as fingerprint magnet as the stock, is it really that bad? Even if it catches fingerprint easily, is it easy to wipe them off?
From the reviews, the Benks Magic HSR has great oleophobic properties, but then the oleophobic coating wears out fast. To those using it, when the oleophobic wears out, can you still wipe the fingerprints easily?
I have only used nillkin brand ultra clear screen protector before, so can anyone give testimony on how the above two (slightly pricier) items compared to nillkin? How about rock screen protector?

You know is not that easy to wipe out them but it says it have oleophobic feature. That was a my choice, I choose ultra clear version, but they have many other versions
I just ordered the Gearmaxx from eBay for ~$20, and some cheap back cover from eBay too, Yousave is the maker (or should I say, who brands the stuff on last step), link is HERE.
I just wish I could buy a simple leather-like pouch as I have now with my Galaxy S3 (like THIS one for the Xperia Z), but the only decent one I found is from PDair (LINK), but it's far too bulky for my tastes.
AND, I found on alibaba.com that they're actually making some tempered glass sheets for the ZU front, but they take orders from 500 pieces and up... and I don't think I need that many...
Anybody has any idea on where to find a simple pouch?

I ordered the gearmaxx ultra clear based on this thread, and it's just too much of a fingerprint magnet for me...
It's also harder to clean than the oem protection...It's also not nearly as smooth...

I am using one, a cheaper than the Spigen one. But it works great! Suprisingly good actually. Since I hate screen protectors cause I always get one dust particle underneath it.. It makes me take it off again. But with the tempered glass It fell exactly on place and without any dust underneath it..

You can pick one up in the Verizon stores, I'm not sure of the hardness rating, I like the feel, it's rounded, does the job and looks good. It's about 25 bucks, can get them cheaper online but if you need one ASAP, pick one up in the verizon store, they'll install it as well so if they mess up have them do it again free of charge.
But out of all the reviews, the best one seems to be by iloome.

That one looks nice, I really like the MIME Feather Glass since it is only .15mm thick.
I'm using the Spiegen - the top of the line one.
It works great so far and fits the Spiegn Sim armour vieww case with no problem.
While I like a good deal too, I don't understand that we buy a VERY expensive Note 3 and then try and cut corners with the Glass and case.
I wish I could use one. On day one, I started with the Verizon tempered glass screen protector and I loved the feel of it, but over a few days time, the top right corner developed an odd sort of hazy "bubble" that wouldn't stay flattened out. I confirmed the screen protector wasn't touching the frame, so I figured it was just the "crappy" store brand screen protector. I decided to go ahead and get a MIME Ghost Glass to replace it, and over the next few days, the same story. Top right corner, bubble.
Upon closer inspection, my Note 3 has an (almost) imperceptible "bend" in the very top right corner of the screen. The only way I could tell was the way the light warps a tiny bit in the reflection of the glass in just that corner. The rigid nature of tempered glass coupled with this slight bend in the phone's glass causes the corner of the protector to lift ever so slightly off the screen, creating the ugly bubble.
The phone was bought new, has never been dropped, and is in perfect condition, it's simply a manufacturing "defect". So, it's back to the regular old screen protectors for me.

Hi y`all.
Prefer brando rounded edge.
Removed it though. thought it botched up my proximity sensor.
Turns out it dosn´t work properly even with screen protector removed.
got a new sensor. Haven´t installed it yet. fairly simple though.
You guys have trouble with the proximity sensor?

Couldn't see a thread on tempered glass screen protectors. What do people plan to use to protect their handset?
I used the Nillkin 9H+ protector for the Xperia Z2 and have had no issues with it. I can see they have one for the Z3 too, so I may well just order that one.
Anyone seen other options?
I'll be using a flip case to generally protect the phone, and will then rely on the Gorilla Glass 3 screen of the phone for it's scratch resistance, as I have done on my past two devices. My S4 (current) I've had since release and there is not a single mark on the display.
From my own experience, why bother putting a screen protector on when you don't need it?

Really - I'm looking at plenty of reviews/reports online which say that the Z3 and Z3 Compact have Gorilla Glass 3?
But there are also plenty of [more reputable] reviews which just don't mention GG3 or the spec of the screen (with regards to scratch resistance) too.
This is my first Sony for a while and I thought it was perfect for me, but this has just made me like it slightly less than I did 30 mins ago!! Oh well...
So, back to the question in the OP, suddenly I have a concern!!
I use the Mocolo Premium Tempered Glasspanel, which fits really well and easy to apply

Actually it's better than Gorilla glass look at all the drop test for the Z z1 z2 which all use sonys own tempered glass.... If you read people saying Sony Xperia Z phones has gorilla glass you might wanna stop listing to them..... Also there's a website that list all the phones with gorilla glass

Thank you.
So dropping it on the floor is OK, what about 'scratch resistance'? If you don't use a screen protector (as per this thread), are Xperia's prone to getting scratched in normal use (lifetime in someone's pocket, in a flip-case)?
So scratching really is the main issue? I saw knife tests on earlier models of Xperia and it looks pretty bad!!
Cheers - I'll keep an eye on this thread now.

That was true it was prone to scratches but not as bad as you may think, that is because of the shatter proof film they put on the screen. from what reports are saying is that that film is no longer on the screen of the Z3. But that is not confirmed yet.
There is a proof film protector applied on all Sony models. I own the Z3 and it's still there. Fow now, I'm just searching a way to protect my Z3. Or I must rely on Z2 official products?
there is no film on the z3!
I have the nillkin tempered glass and it fits like a glove

Light and proximity sensors work just fine with tempered glass covering it.
woops. You are of course right with the light sensor, it is not affected by the protector. (I actually meant to write proximity ) The proximity sensor is a different animal. There a severa reports of it acting up after getting covered by a temepred glass protector.

they fit niceliy on both sides. On the back there is a tiny bit of overlap on the bottom, but probably due to my installtion. Front no overlap whatsoever. flush with the glass on all sides.
Absolutely perfectly flush on the sides on front and back - so definitely not identical to Z2 which is wider.

I've had the V10 for almost two weeks now and noticed that there are micro scratches on the rear glass lens cover that are only visible under artificial lighting at certain angles. The phone has been babied and encased. I have noticed this on other phones I've owned and am beginning to think this is a common incident with any uncovered camera lens glass (?)

Thanks for the response. The scratches on mine are visible only under artificial light. Try putting it under a lamp and tilt it, rotate it, if they are there they will show. They are very fine scratches. I checked mine with a 10x magnifying glass and could not spot any scratches for the life of me.

My V10 has these micro scratches also. I am extremely careful with my devices and find this frustrating.
Scratch here also. But it doesn't get in the way of taking photos luckily.
Someone posted in one of the threads that the camera lens is only gorilla glass 2. So it's more prone to scratching.
To be honest, if I don't see it with my naked eye with a shine of light, I will consider it to be prefer, but on the safe side I have my len protected with some glass lens protector for any scratches.
You probably won't see it, but it's there.

In another thread, (sorry, too lazy to look it up), someone cut out a circular disk, put it around the bezel of the camera glass, which in turn makes the bezel just a bit higher than the glass - offering protection to the glass lens.
I took a regular sheet of paper, laid it over the lens and bezel, taped the edges down and made an impression with my finger, rubbing and pressing the paper against the bezel and glass till it was embedded into the paper. Now I have a template and will be heading out to get a protective film and cut a few out with an Exacto Knife.
Won't take more than 15 minutes, won't cost more than a couple bucks.
I know this sounds odd to some, but I'm not able to translate Chinese, and I don't want to wait. Hope this can be an answer for some.

Great, i love the home-made solutions :good:
Can you upload the paper-template with the exact dimensions of the bezel?
Another question: the protective film over the lens make some noise in the picture? I supposed you should use a very "soft" film

I'm not capable of producing a spec for the template as I don't have the tools to measure tolerances this small ... and it's too easy to do yourself.
I don't know about soft or hard film being better or worse ... but I do know that covering any lens with any "film" isn't going to allow for as perfect a picture as without one.

thanks, i'll try in a few hours :good:
You just need a circle film a diameter of 9mm or slightly less.
Ivve tried with a piece of film i had, but the result was very bad. For a good work i think it's better to use a soft fim, like the wet-application ones.

I've had the V10 for almost two weeks now and noticed that there are micro scratches on the rear glass lens cover that are only visible under artificial lighting at certain angles. The phone has been babied and encased. I have noticed this on other phones I've owned and am beginning to think this is a common incident with any uncovered camera lens glass (?)

You no what's funny I just bought this phone and searched this and you can only see the scratches under artificial light too on my phone and I know I didn't get the scratches on the phone and this is my second V10 I just had to return it because of pixels broken in my first one I bought.

EDIT: Now that 5 months have gone by and some top contenders have truly emerged, I've updated the OP with the list of the protectors that seem to be the favorites in this thread and in others.
The purpose of this thread is to discuss screen protector options for the Pixel phone. This is where you can post thoughts and pictures of screen protectors you've purchased/used and to provide reviews and suggestions for others looking for tempered glass, plastic and wet apply screen protectors.

Pros:
- Full adhesive across the entire protector
- Full coverage
- Comes in black or white
Cons:
- Adhesive in center of screen is going to show dust particles more prominently.
- Edges may not adhere properly in some areas. (Blow dryer and pressure applied in the area for 1-2 minutes usually solves this)
Orzly 2.5D Pro-Fit Tempered Glass Screen Protector
https://www.amazon.com/Google-Prote...898800&sr=1-3&keywords=intelliglass+pro+pixel
Pros:
- Full coverage
- Comes in black or white
- Easy to apply perfectly
Cons:
- No adhesive in center of the screen which creates space between screen and protector
- Can give an almost mirror like reflection from certain angles in highly lit areas
- "Dot matrix" over the screen, making reading text difficult in direct sunlight
- Can make blacks on the screen look very washed out and gray
Spigen GLAS.t R Slim Tempered Glass Protector
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N8S5R93?th=1
Pros:
- Full coverage
- Comes in black or white
- Easy to apply perfectly
- No dot matrix in center of screen like Orzly
Cons:
- Can make blacks on the screen look slightly washed out (but not nearly as bad as the Orzly)
...
There are other options but these 3 seem to be the most favored among Pixel users.
I ordered the tempered glass from Verizon's website. With my discount it was like $16 and they usually work pretty well.
I got the Spigen Google Pixel Screen Protector Tempered Glass, I really like it.
Got this one: Spigen Google Pixel Screen Protector Tempered Glass / Full Coverage / 9H Hardness / Case Friendly for Google Pixel - Black

Pleson and Orzly typically make some very solid TG protectors. However, I must admit that I'm pessimistic about the fit due to the curved edge of the screen. But at just $8 I'm willing to give it a try. Fingers crossed.
I have always been a fan of Invisible shields by Zagg. they haven't officially announced for Pixel yet though.

A perfectly installed tempered glass protector looks and feels like it isn't even there. However, with the curved edge of the Pixel screen, I am doubtful that I will be able to accomplish a perfect install. Admittedly, after going through a few protectors with my OnePlus 3, I ended up saying "screw it" and went bare with the screen and felt liberated. :laugh:
The screen looks/feels so great without a protector that it's worth getting some micro-scratches. The main reason I try to use a screen protector is for resale value purposes. But this time around I really am hopping to keep the Pixel for the full 24 months instead of making an incremental upgrade after 12 months. By then the phone will be worth like $150 anyway. So this time around, if I can manage a perfect install with the Pleson TG protector, I'll keep it on. If it doesn't work I'm going to throw it in the trash and just enjoy the screen bare.
I purchased Google Protect anyway so if something happens to the screen I pay them $79 and get a brand new phone the next day. With protection like that it's actually gotten silly to drop upwards of $50 trying all sorts of screen protectors.

I've used that screen protector on my OnePlus 3 and can't stand it. It has a rubbery feel to it and makes the screen look grainy. For me it's tempered glass or nothing.
I got the Pleson coming right now. I usually use the Skinomi glass protectors but they told me they were not ready as of yet. Pleson makes amazing cases wo i will try their screen protectors out. if they crack i will get skinomi later
I have a Pleson on my 6P and it's great.
I'm curious though, the first batch of 6P protectors covered the proximity sensor and people had issues. I'm assuming that thing under the top speaker (on the Pixel) is the proximity sensor and it appears to be covered. Maybe I'll wait for some reviews.

I just hope the curved edge doesn't force the TG manufacturers to do what they did with the OnePlus 3, which was leave the adhesive on the sides and keep the middle of the protector just hovering over the screen because it created that obnoxious rainbowing in the middle of the screen and allowed dust to get in betweent he protector and the screen. .
bought the pleson TG 2 pack. I hope armor shield jumps into the game, love their stiff.

I have used Google Protect on my 5X and I assure you that your replacement will NOT be new(could be, but won't be). Change "brand new" to "refurbished" and you got it right. I tried three replacements for my 5X, all were refurbished. All had loose back covers and one had a pink screen. I ended up replacing the back cover myself with an aftermarket replacement to address the looseness.

Yeah, I remember you and I discussing the Orzly protector for the OnePlus 3. My rev 2 was pretty solid and offered great protection with a clean look. But over a few weeks it started to let dust get in, which got annoying. The plus side to that protector is you can peal it off, clean the screen and re-apply.
However, a couple of weeks ago I decided to go with no protector on the OnePlus 3 and it just feels/looks too great to go back. Since ordering the Pixel I've been much less gentle with the OnePlus 3, as well. The screen has now been exposed to plenty of dirt/grime from using it while working on the car and even sand from our camping trip this last weekend. Yet, every time I clean it and inspect the screen under florescent lighting I can't find a single visible scratch.
And supposedly the OnePlus 3 screen is less scratch resistant than other current flagships. If that truly is the case, then I'm seriously thinking the screen protector days might be behind me. Unless I can manage a perfect install with the Pleson one I ordered, that is.

Ah yeah I remember your profile picture somewhat. I don't get that much dust buildup but mainly due to my case probably hiding it well!
Ideally we would all like no case or screen protector on our phones but life isn't like that ????
My OPO got quite scratched up unfortunately before I had a screen protector so I always need one now!
I wanted to create a thread to collect everyone's findings and opinions on what the best screen protector for the S8 is.
From what I have found there are:
- TPU dry application
- TPU wet application
- tempered glass glue only at sides
Post what you think the best protector is for feel, sensitivity and coverage. Also how compatable with cases and ease of application.
So far I've tried the amFilm from techmatte. Glue is viable around the sides and the touch sensitivity is reduced after insalll.
Master List - Tempered Glass
amFilm By Techmatte
Tempered glass, glue round the outside and top of the protector only. dot matrix on the screen for better sensitivity.
Glass feels nice but leaves loads of fingerprints and it is really reflective to light. Reduced sensitivity especially at the top. Works well with cases as its not quite full coverage.
Master List - TPU Films
yootech
Wet apply. Went on easy, works well with case no lifting. Feels nice.
Techgear ghostshield
Dry install. Kinda hard install as top part has separate protective film to the rest so it's hard to remove tbe main bit without getting dust under the protector. Sticks to the sides well. Clarity is bad, makes the phone look greasy /oily. Touch sensitivity is unaffected.
I bought these and it went on really easy, no bubbles and doesn't lift around the edge like a previous protector I used did when I put my Spigen Thin case on, feels ok to use too
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B071R5P7QN/ref=pe_385721_37986871_TE_item
EDIT - This is the previous protector I used, I found it reasonable to apply but lifted around the edges when putting my case on

Hi, yes it does, just stops 1-2mm short of the edge of the glass all around. I hope you like it

Forget yootech, it works well the first 1-2 days but then you have to repress on the borders every day because the TPU cover lift it, and now after 10 days some parts are not gluing anymore specially the bottom corners.
Feeling is plasticky and a bit sticky, not as good as ''dry'' films

Actually really like the feel. Doesn't feel too rubbery. It's not glass but it's quite smooth as long as you don't dig your nails in. I forget it's there a lot. Took me a while to apply and get it right but not had any edge lifting. I am using a case so that may help.

I can whole heartedly recommend these ones:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XY7K875/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They are the film variety, but PET film, so no rubbery feel. These also benefit from being slightly curved at the edges (much like the TGSP's) so fit perfectly, with no lift. Have been using mine for 3 weeks now and its still firmly stuck on all edges, NO LIFTING!! And best of all, they work with cases too. Currently using it with a slim case, but it fits my Spiegen Neo Hybrid with no problems. And did I mention you get 3 in a pack. *drops the mic....walks off stage*
All jokes aside, these are a really good solution for screen protection with very few drawbacks.
P.S I do not work for this company nor is this recommendation being endorsed. Just passing on some invaluable knowledge to hopefully prevent someone else from buying almost every single variety of screen protector available.....not that I did that.....much.
honestly this screen protector thing is so long winded, and only for this phone as for all the others its been easy
there should be a section for uk screen protectors as we cant buy certain ones like the whitestonez version
finally got hold of this phone and cant decide what protector to get, has to be a good one as the screen is what it all is about
