best screen protector

[farocco]

I had Verizon put on an otterbox screen protector, they kept the box, now I see it is on crooked. Can I move it?

If not, what is the best screen protector you use?

I got this Omoton one for my wife's Pixel 5. Does the job, and they include a nice little guide frame to place the protector accurately. She recently dropped the phone, causing some cracks in the protector, but when I replaced it, found the glass underneath to be pristine.

Agreed, a flawless installation.

not a big fan of screen protectors but the best one I've ever used is Zagg Invisible Shield. they have several locations that will install it (and re-install if needed) for you.

I ordered the omoton, found out I can get a replacement for outterbox for free, have to pay shipping. I do not like the notch on the outterbox, they told me it was for the sensors

Interestingly, I don't think the Pixel 5 needs a notch or cutout in the screen protector (the Omoton doesn't have one). I guess the proximity sensor works in a way that it doesn't get blocked by anything clear placed over it (which isn't the case for older phones).

The Omoton absolutely does have cutout in it; I'm looking at it right now.

I've been trying to find the answer, but haven't found anything definite. However, I think proximity sensors that use IR need a cutout, so I'm guessing the Pixel 5 uses a purely optical sensor.

Couldn't find any info on this myself

Sounds like that screen protector holds up well! Awesome!

Also, how is your wife liking the Pixel 5?

No complaints so far -- she's found it much faster and smoother than her previous Pixel 2 XL (which used to be mine), and the battery life is great. She's definitely not a phone nerd like me, so she just wants the phone to work well.
