Basically, the little dots help the screen protector touch the display to a point (but not stick down all the way which would lead to easy cracking).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.
The phone is rated IP67 (They are protected from dust and capable of withstanding water immersion between 15 cm and 1 meter for 30 minutes.). So a little water from the installation will not damage the phone.There are some that use static but most use a light adhesive like a sticky-note. I've always used these on past phones, including the S7's annoyingly curved screen, but it does seem like most are going to wet-apply. I'm mostly concerned with the wet-apply solution getting into those big front-facing speakers and gumming up the works or causing damage. I can't see how that could be fixed if it happens.

They all come with a little spray bottle and you're simply spraying a little bit of water so that the screen protector can be moved easily. Once its in a location that you want, you use the squeegee to remove the water out from underneath. If getting it in the speakers is of concern, you can push the water to the edges away from the speakers.
No adhesive solution in those bottles. Its just distilled water. It's kind of like apply tints on a car. The water just makes it a slipper surface to make adjusting easier.I see. Thank you for the clarification. I thought the spray bottle contained an adhesive solution which, if it got into the speakers, could damage/impair them. If it is just water I'm not as concerned.
I'm waiting for RhinoShield.
FYI, these amFilm protectors install really easily and virtually disappear into the black bezels around the display. Just line up the front camera with its cutout, and you're golden.Just got this in a few minutes ago. While for obvious reasons I can't speak to how well it installs just yet, the packaging was very clean and solid (good, given it was shipped in a bubblewrap envelope). The SP itself is clearly at all edges and corners to conform to the Pixel XL, with cutouts for all sensors.

It's been hit or miss. Some people have the halo effect and some people have stated they do not. For the most part, no halo effect.How curved is this screen at the edges? Will a glass protector give me the dreaded halo effect?
Verizon is supposedly selling a non-curved Zagg glass model, so if that's truly the case that's what I'll be getting. The curved glass is all garbage but I want something to protect the screen.
