what's everyone doing for screen protection on the pixel 2?

[victoryrules8]

Just wondering what everyone is finding for screen pro on the new pixels

I'm waiting for RhinoShield.

Yootech was very good on my original pixel. Great price on Amazon

I like the Yootech on my OG Pixel XL, but they haven't released one for the 2nd gen phones yet.

There is a list on XDA with screen protectors - both tempered and film

Going completely naked, no case no screen protector. I don't like the feel of having something over the screen

Picked up this one as it's the only one I could find and be assured of getting in advance of receiving my Pixel 2 XL.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075WW69PS/?tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6017813 $14.99, in stock (currently) via Amazon Prime.

Didn't see any available via Prime for the smaller Pixel 2.

Naked here also. I gave up on screen protectors 3 phones ago. Never had an issue scratching the screen.

Exactly. I've had my 6P for 2 years and haven't scratched it yet, and that is GG4. The XL 2 has GG5 so it should be even better.

I ordered this one:

It's only $8 for a 2-pack, so if it sucks, I'll just get a new one once there are reviews available.

Had this on my original pixel. It seems that every protector has some people that like it in some that don't, for the price, this one was very nice even at twice the price. I'm trying to contact them to see if it's coming out for the pixel 2

I have using Whoosh Diamond Defense on my current Pixel XL. Probably do the same thing for my 2 XL. There's an SGS report that seems to validate the screen protection.

Verizon had a tempered glass for the XL I’ll probably try.

 

[randal-egg]

None, from what I've read, screen protectors aren't needed.

 

[pseudoware]

Naked is how I roll.

Just and FYI, its case friendly but is dot matrix.

Has anyone found a dry-apply film protector? Seems like the only ones offered are wet-apply or glass. Boxwave lists one in their store, but says it's discontinued if you try to purchase it.

Just curious; i really don't know...why is the dot matrix something to be avoided?

I think because of the curve, the dry apply that usually uses static-cling to adhere to the screen isn't as flexible when it comes to curved screens. If the static cling is bigger than the flat surface of the screen or applied wrong, it will lift up and cause dirt to adhere to the underside as well as possibly lift up.
