Pixel 6 & 6 Pro screen protectors

[Dan_B1979]

Report back on what you've ordered and how well their fit is please

I'm sure there's a lot of folk that use screen protectors and for me they're a must as I have rough hands from all the chalk I use whilst training

I'm hanging fire on the 6 Pro until I know decent protectors are available as I've gone through the curved screen protector issues before and it did my nut in!

Until then, I'm sticking with my iPhone 12 Pro Max and it's large, flat screen with a decent tempered glass screen protector fitted

I've ordered the Spigen Screen Protector [NeoFlex] designed for Pixel 6 Pro. Will let you know how it goes once the phone and screen protector arrive. I get my daughter to install as she's become a pro screen protector installer lol

Curious to know if there are back camera protectors and how this could affect photos.

Applied this screen protector, everything works as before including the fingerprint reader, no obvious loss of quality.

Be great if you took some pics of the Pixel with it applied

On the road I'll do it when I get home with my kids phone

How is it for bubbles and slickness?

Is that it peeling already when back in a case?

It won't let me post a link to Amazon, but I got this one with cutouts for the camera bits. I'll update once it's on my phone

They're all cut just a little short to accommodate the edges of the phone. If misaligned during application then an edge might no be fully flat, and in he end, it all depends on the installation - make sure you use the fogged bathroom technique. I'm as anal as the next guy, but after years of using them I don't bother about the 1/4 mm (.00984 inches) that may lift at the edge as usually it's pretty good at at least 3 of the 4 sides.

I also like that many now have the alignment template. I just go for the "3 for $9.00" variety. Also, other than the high names that cost 3 times as much, you have to figure there's only a few manufacturers that actually make these for the 17 dozen vendors that sell them. Oh, and all of them saved butt. Dropped phone and the screen protector cracked by not the screen.

I've found most tempered glass protectors on-line are about the same. - YMMV

You have the Pro, correct? How does it seal on the curved edge?

It does wrap around the curved edges. It's close to 100% coverage and even if it's slightly off I have the phone in a case so the sides are protected

Anyone find a glass screen protector for the curved screen on the pro? Not a fan of plastic feeling of the flexible ones. If anything I’ll just roll without one.

 

[Mathrania]

is this Spigen available in Canada? How did you get it? I ordered Orzero from Amazon and works fine so far, but i like brand names

I've never been a fan of curved glass screen protectors for phones. They always managed to get some dust or little area where I could see it being that perfect. I'm going without one for this phone and as always being careful with it not to have the screen rub on stuff like in pockets

I thought I had mine set up correctly in the bathroom. However, no matter what I do, at least one of my cats hairs always finds its way underneath. Thankfully I bought a set so I can do it again but its extremely noticeable on this phone when the protector isnt 100%.

DO NOT buy the screen protector I previously mentioned in this thread. The Spigen neo-flex https://www.spigen.com/products/pixel-6-pro-screen-protector-neo-flex

There's an issue where the screen protector accidentally sets off the fingerprint scanner and the screen briefly lights up. If you want to use fingerprints and this screen protector you may face issues. If you're only using PIN lock or something else then it's ok.

Just to expand, I was on a support call with Google regarding my screen briefly lighting up, so we tried a bunch of steps, then finally when I disabled all fingerprints and went with a pin code for unlocking, no more issue.

Im wondering if this is going to be a more common issue with other screen protectors. Since this underscreen fingerprint sensor is not like the other ones on the market, it might react differently to something on the glass between it and the finger.
