Just a heads up for any fellow SGP fans. They now have a crystal clear protector for the front AND back of the N4. i really wish they had an ultra eleophobic version, but i've used the crystal clear on my e4gt and have been extremely satisfied with the quality of the product. clarity is crystal clear just like the name states, and its very durable.

Just ordered. Thanks for the heads up!

Do these cover the entire screen?
Do these have the cutouts for the sensors and Why do these other ones have such bad reviews?

I think the front only covers the screen areas not the curved parts. The back since its flat might be fully covered

guess the complaints come from people who bought it early.
SGP has stated that they now include the proximity sensor cutout for all their N4 screen protectors.
Bought the dual protector and will see if its good. been holding off for too long to let the companies iron out the creases
these do have the proximity sensor cutout. it doesnt cover the front completely due to the curved glass, the following is a review of the oleophobic protector on a One X which also has curved glass. the reviewer points it out at about 1:50. I actually dont mind it, and it isnt even noticeable. only way you're going to get one that covers the entire screen is if its a wet application protector. but the quality/feel of wet apply protectors is just not for me.

No SGP protector completely covers the front screen. They are cut too short all around and do NOT extend to cover the area just before the curved glass and the curved portion itself.
There was also massive issue with the proximity sensors malfunctioning due to SGP. They have allegedly "revised" it but no telling if you get stuck with some old stock.
Personally, I've owned and dealt with SGP. Too many negatives with their product and too many other better choices to be bothered buying from them anymore. I can't recommend them but good luck to those that do buy.
Note: If you want a screen protector that covers the ENTIRE SCREEN including the curved edges with cutouts for Proximity censors and camera, I highly recommend Skinomi. :thumbup:

Do you have the Skinomi protector installed? If so, how does the screen feel and does it work with a case?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I got the SGP before they fixed it, no cut out so the phone was a pain to use, also if you do not get the screen protector exactly in the center of the screen one side tends to lift due to the stiffness of the film. I sent mine back and ordered a Skinomi, should have that tomorrow.
Funny as my Spigen does not have the proximity cutout, only the camera and everything functions as it should.

Yes, I've had my Skinomi on for over a week (front & back).
The screen protector adds a tiny bit of grip which is great for keeping it from sliding off surfaces. It's not sticky like I've found some other screen protectors like Zagg but it's not as butter smooth as the naked screen, as to be expected!
My fingers glide smoothly over the screen with no noticeable drag. So far it feels great. Again, not as good as the naked glass but almost.

I ordered the oleophobic screen protector for my N4 (which I'm still waiting for from Google) and found out I did not receive the revised one. A quick email to them ended up in me receiving a second set for free days later without needing to return the ones I already have :laugh:
I find Skinomi and most wet application screen protectors to easily form imprints and wrinkles that don't "heal" perfectly after a while, although still not bad. Just received an XOSkins full body kit from their Cyber Monday sale which I'll compare to the Skinomi one on my iPod Touch. I'm also getting the bumper, so the lack of full coverage on the SGP really doesn't affect me.
I just got my oleophobic and although it seems to be recommended by everyone, it got scratched from day one. Never had the same problem with Zagg or others. Conclusion: I wouldnt recommend SPIGEN! Sounds fancy - "olephobic"- but doesn't actually protect or fit as well as others.

Oleophobic coatings are always softer than glass. By ordering that one, you essentially chose fingerprint resistance over scratch resistance. Glass with oleophobic coatings is also more prone to scratches because the coating itself scratches or wears down with use. Ask anyone with an iPhone 4.
If you want scratch resistance, get a harder screen protector (like the Ultra Crystal).
i would be looking forward to have this skin compared to the XOskin protector. I've used XO skins before and they are great! but i wonder how this does when they are side by side

hey guys! i've began ordering things for the S4 in anticipation of it releasing here shortly.
today i got my screen protector in the mail so i thought i'd share because SGP has done something i haven't seen companies do for a while in regards to Android devices [that i've owned, anyway]...
there are cutouts for the earpiece and home button. yep, you read right. there are cutouts.
after i receive the phone (likely thursday) i'll happily update the post with a photo of the screen protector installed (unless someone beats me to it!)

nice. i opted for just clear. the SGP rep said it would have the highest hardness rating of them all. i wanted to make sure i wouldn't get little dents on the screen protector from accidentally tapping with a fingernail or etc.
may end up getting one of the glass ones just to check it out
Don't most screen protectors have cut outs? And I was able to get a free one when ordering the Neo Hybrid. I currently have one on my Nexus 4 and they're great screen protectors. You can easily go six months or maybe longer without having to replace them.

Yeah the Ultra Crystal does have the hardest rating. I have used them before on my iPhone and Nexus 4. I got the Oleophobic one to reduce fingerprints and smudges. I was looking at the Glas.t screen protector too but since its a 1 time fit, I will probably end up f*ing it up and getting angry! :laugh:
I had the Ultra Nano and Ultra Crystal on my S3. The Ultra Nano had oleophobic resistance but it got scratched up in weeks because of the 2H hardness rating from Spigen. The Ultra Crystal didn't get scratched at all, but it seemed to really degrade the image quality much more, and the fingerprints accumulated really quickly. I'm hopeful that the Ultra Oleophobic will be the perfect one with a 3-4H rating.

no, they don't always. the S3 didn't on most. the Galaxy Nexus didn't on most. i think the S2 did.
in particular, SGP did not have cutouts. on my S3 sitting in front of me i have an SGP Oleo and it does not go all the way around the home button and earpiece.

i was thinking the same thing about the Glass.t. if you mess up, though, you can send it back and they'll send you a new one. just means you might not have anything on your phone for a little while unless you have a spare lying around.

this. so much this. i didn't know how to explain this, so thanks. but yes, i have a ~2H rating on my S3. it's a Nano. it has little dents in the screen protector all over. you can tap the screen lightly with a finger nail and it'll do that to it
the Ultra Crystal is totally clear so it shouldn't degrade the image unless you meant because of finger prints. i wipe my phone off from time to time already so it shouldn't be a problem. i'd like to know how you're liking the Ultra Oleo when you get it in. thanks!
I had the Ultra Oleo on my Galaxy Note 1 but it still smudged and scratched too easily.
Gonna go for the Ultra Crystal this time and hoping for the best.

How is the fit and finish of the ultra crystal? Any image degradation? Any complaints?
Any chance we can get those after pic too
I'd like to know as well. I'm particularly interested in the image clarity. I bought the Ultra Fine...while the anti-fingerprint matte finish is EXTREMELY impressive the image degradation is not. So it looks like I'm back on the hunt for a new screen protector.
in sgs2 with ultra crystal almost no image degration if any at all.

yeah any time you get a Matte protector, there's going to be a good amount of image degradation. this isn't a Matte protector so there shouldn't be any even though i believe the description says there is. it should be totally transparent on the phone.

I got my Ultra Crystal on Friday and applied it. So far I'm perfectly happy with it as the fit is spot on. As far as image quality......WOW! I had not viewed the screen on phone without the Ultra Fine protector as I put it on directly out of the box before I even put the battery in.
Needless to say the Ultra Crystal truly showed me how beautiful this screen is. The jury is out on how tough the protector is. I'm a pocket guy so I should know in about a month.
Can anyone that has installed this screen protector see if it interferes with any of the sensors/gestures/etc? I noticed it doesn't have cutouts for those (though it might not need it). Boxwave screen protectors though (similar to the SGP ultra-crystal in my experience) leave the sensors (and front camera) uncovered:
http://www.boxwave.com/samsung-gala...-crystal-2-pack-for-galaxy-s4/bwpdd/cvt-zmgm/
I got the ultra oleophobic and had it installed on my s4. in my opinion, it's one of the best fitting screen protector I've seen. the cut outs are spot on, leaving very little gap differences between the screen protector and the exposed area. here's a picture of it. pardon me, the lighting wasn't good for a clear contrast.

Seidio Surface Case (without kickstand)
There is no denying that I’m a sucker for a good cell phone case and, without surprise, I nearly always end up going back to Seidio Surface case. My wife ends up feeling that my case is better than hers and ends up stealing my case.
This time, we got HER one first (hence the Fuchsia color).
Per their website:
The SURFACE™ case is the right case for those who are looking for sleek protection. This case protects your Samsung GALAXY S4 from scratches and drops while adding minimal bulk. Durable plastic is accompanied by our soft-touch coating which enhances the look of your Samsung GALAXY S4 without attracting lint.
- Sleek case that provides scratch protection without adding much bulk
- Case raises the camera away from a flat surface in order to protect your lens
- Precision cut-outs for access to the ports, controls, speakers, and camera
- Unique slide-in design makes putting on and removing your case easy
- Felt lining on inside protects your Samsung GALAXY S4
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Fit and feel of this one is likely the BEST I’ve seen. No gaps or overlaps. Edges line up perfectly! All cut outs for the buttons are spot on and VERY easy to find. All cut out for ports (headphones, IR blaster, charger, camera, etc) are perfectly centered except for one that is quite literally a hair width off center. The case is made from a hard plastic and features a soft-touch textured feel that makes it grip in your hand but not in your pocket.
The case is NOT compatible with Spigen’s Glas.tr (it’s a VERY tight fit and won’t close all the way) but Seidio made sure that they offered a glass protector that works just fine with the case.
They also offer cases with a built-in kickstand and a holster to wear it on your belt. There are multiple color options available for the case as well.

Seidio Vitreo (Tempered glass screen protector)
Recently, there have been more and more of a market for a tempered glass screen protector and, to be honest, when I first heard of a glass screen protector I laughed. I firmly believed that those willing to buy such a product would also be willing to buy a few bottles of blinker fluid. Upon getting my hands on a few different ones, I can gladly admit that I am wrong. Tempered glass screen protectors are WORTH THE MONEY!!!
Glass screen protectors aren’t without flaw. They can still scratch, break, chip, etc. They aren’t perfect. They DO allow you to keep your screen on your actual device in perfect condition (I’d rather scratch a screen protector then the screen of my device) and, more importantly, allow that crisp clean feel of a glass screen to be used. There is no debating that glass feels better when compared with high end or low end plastic based screen protectors that we are all used to. These protectors simply feel amazing (and of course they cost a bit more too).
Seidio’s Vitreo tempered glass screen protector is no different.
Per their website:
Seidio's VITREO™ is a tempered glass material that utilizes advanced technology to shield and protect your Samsung GALAXY S4's screen. Made from a high grade glass with a 9H hardness rating, VITREO™ is shatterproof, allowing it to absorb more impact than your regular PET screen protector and prevent damage from occurring to your screen. The VITREO™ surface feels just like the device's screen without interfering with optical clarity while giving you an extraordinary level of protection. The design and lightweight material will provide peace of mind no matter what comes in contact with your device.
- High grade tempered glass with a 9H hardness rating prevents damage in the event of scratches and abrasions
- Tapered (rounded) edges provide a premium and more aesthetically enhanced profile for your device
- Engineered to reinforce the strength of the critical points of impact which results in prolonged durability
- Oleophobic coating resists marks and smudges with advanced technology that reduces the appearance of fingerprints
- Precision cut to not interfere with proximity sensors and front camera
- Slim profile allows fitment with Seidio cases while providing maximum coverage of the screen
- Allows touch sensitivity and enhances optical clarity
- Easy installation without bubbling and lifting
- Only 0.55mm (0.02in) thin

The screen protector is held in place with a Silicon based adhesive. As can be seen in the photos below, the protector fits their Surface case nearly perfectly (and more importantly it allows you to put the phone screen down without having the glass make contact with the table). Installation was easier than the old plastic screen protectors and went on easily and quickly. I did have a minor issue with bubbling/streaking when installed but pressing firmly on the screen protector allowed those areas to stick and it has not become an issue since. All sensors and the home key are fully accessible when this product is used and the rounded edges feel smooth and nearly non-existent (except for the corners underneath the home key which just feel a tad bit out of place - non issue when their case is on the phone).
It’s worth noting that the protector doesn’t surround the home key. With the Surface case installed, this does not bother me. Without the case installed, I found that my fingers would rub along the edge. I found that this design made accessing the home button easier than with other brand glass screen protectors without the use of “extension” keys such as the jelly home keys (provided) or with the aluminum keys sold by other manufactures. Of course, adding them extension pieces sure didn’t hurt the feel either!
Pictures are worth a thousand words... so look at ‘em!

i have never really been a fan of the two part cases like that. i had something similar for an ipod i had and hated it. as far as the screen protector i am also not a fan how the bottom has an open space around the home button. i much prefer to have it all one piece like my spigen nano. the price for the screen protector is also on the high side. the most important thing is if you like it though. everyone will have their own opinion :good:

My initial reaction to the glass not covering the home button was the same. After "trading" phones with my wife for the week while I tested everything, I REALLY prefer it this way. Your thumb INSTANTLY finds the home key and the use of a jelly button or aluminum home button isn't needed (but if you want to use one it doesn't hurt the feel either).
Yeah... it leaves some uncovered, but it feels damn good in the meantime!
In regards to the rest... yeap, comes down to preference! :cyclops:

I don't have an otterbox or UAG to test it with. I can confirm that the Vitreo it is slightly shorter and thinner than the Glas.tr (which I believe I've seen someone said that it works with the UAG so that one shouldn't be a problem).

Covers screen fine. Only real "dead spot" is directly under the home key which I find doesn't bother me when I grab the wife's phone (where it's currently at).
I had Spigen Glas.tr on mine and had two different defective units where the glass stopped "sticking" randomly and would spread.
.... so I guess you could say that I like it a lot more than the Glas.Tr :cyclops:

Only something you can decide! I'll tell you that using a glass screen protector is great and you'll wonder how you ever used a film screen protector though.
EDIT: 8/1/13; Escalated via Paypal today and got resolution today for a partial refund of $20. I Clarivue offered a screen protector as a replacement and I declined. However, I requested a partial refund of $20.
EDIT: 7/29/13; I have been in email conversation with Clarivue and they are not on the up an up. Point being when I ordered, there were no pictures, no claims that the screen protector was made smaller to accommodate the curved glass of the N4. If there were such pictures, why did I ask if there were cut outs for the prox sensor and front cam? They will not even give me a new one to try out again without shelling out another $10 bux. They have lost me as a customer at this point and I suggest that people take heed in this my review and take it for what it's worth. Unfortunately, not worth 27 bux. It's a shame. Like I said, the glass is smooth, but the size just kills it for me. Clarivue claiming that all of this was disclosed when the glass was posted for sale on the site. I know what I did or did not see on that site.
Clarivue screen protector for the nexus 4. Not horrible but the protector is too short and not wide enough. It just covers the width of the screen. So I had to lift to readjust and because of that the side adhesive does not seat on the screen anymore as you can see in the pic. I am back using the iloome screen protector which I took off to try this and it stuck right like it was brand new.
Bottom line, if you have a TPU case or Seidio case of the same sort that has a large lip covering the screen, this may be the perfect protector for you. Using the phone with it was actually pretty responsive, I say a tiny bit better than the iloome, but that's just using for a few minutes.
I was so hoping this was THE protector to get. It's not for me. I mean it just barely fits and does not cover the entire screen like the iloome does. I can foresee dust and debris digging in there pretty easily, especially for me if I kept using it with the sides not seating anymore.
I will place an email to Clarivue. I have spoken to Alex before purchasing this and was told there would be a "restocking fee" but no refunds on these. I'll report back on what he/they say.

Clarivue screen protector for the nexus 4. Not horrible but the protector is too short and not wide enough. It just covers the width of the screen. So I had to lift to readjust and because of that the side adhesive does not seat on the screen anymore as you can see in the pic. I am back using the iloome screen protector which I took off to try this and it stuck right like it was brand new.
Bottom line, if you have a TPU case or Seidio case of the same sort that has a large lip covering the screen, this may be the perfect protector for you. Using the phone with it was actually pretty responsive, I say a tiny bit better than the iloome, but that's just using for a few minutes.
I was so hoping this was THE protector to get. It's not for me. I mean it just barely fits and does not cover the entire screen like the iloome does. I can foresee dust and debris digging in there pretty easily, especially for me if I kept using it with the sides not seating anymore.
I will place an email to Clarivue. I have spoken to Alex before purchasing this and was told there would be a "restocking fee" but no refunds on these. I'll report back on what he/they say.

I seem to be having the same issue with the protector, it just won't adhere to the sides of the screen. I have removed and reapplied it but nothing has improved. I will talk to them and see what happens since I have bought two of these.
I just want to be clear, The adhesive was fine when you first applied it but once you remove and reapply the adhesive becomes weak? or was it weak since the first application?

I thought it was my fault but based on Android9000's post, he/she is having the same issue around the edges.
How about the fingerprints and the sensitivity of the screen?
Is it better than the iloome or even the MaruLabssilly
Thanks.

It handle's fingerprints pretty good actually. The sensitivity is good as well. If I can use PIE UI, then it passes muster in my book :laugh:, but the size of it or lack of it IMO holds it back from being a recommend from me.
I'm more upset that you're cheating on your Nexus 4 with an HTC One...
LOL! JUST KIDDING!
Yeah, I mentioned that it looked WAY too short all around from the press shot which is why I wasn't even considering buying one but thank you for the review.
I think I'll try iloome + Ringke Slim. Do you think the iloome will fit well with the Ringke Slim? Thank you.

That HTC One is my wife's work phone . I have the diztronic ultra slim and try that on Monday when I get back in the office with the iloome.
Thanks for the review. Two important things for me is how the screen reacts to fingerprint marks and touch sensitivity. Well, although the size is not really optimal, this protector is one of my favorite choices now.

That's the only thing, I mean the only thing! Size counts here! lol Well that and the side adhesive giving out so easily. You don't have that issue?
OP Updated with the latest Clarivue news. Bottom line, they will not give me a replacement without shelling out 10 bux. And this screen protector being utterly useless, I just wasted $27.
Remember the sides not adhering properly? I though it was me. Apparently I don't think so anymore. Check out their pic on their own site with the adhesive not on the screen on the bottom right.
Yeah, this one looked worse that the Marulabs to me which is why I immediately ruled it out as an option. Just poorly designed and bad adhesive.
They really should refund your money. If I were you, I'd do a charge back with your CC or dispute with PayPal.

Paypal dispute accepted my partial refund request
Opened up a dispute yesterday, escalated it today and got my partial refund of $20! :victory:
I see the slight bit of lift around the edge it doesn't bother me tho. With the screen on you can't see it. And it is convex at the edge, and with the screen off it makes it look a little wider than it really is. Also it does stick to the edge but its not quite as tight.
It doesn't have an adhesive backing it is a protective silicone layer. Its not sticky at all
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app. The glass goes from edge to edge on the displayed pucture
Overall your not gonna get any better with a flat piece of glass since it runs perfectly between the display under the glass of the screen

I am glad you like it. I for one do not. Ok if it's not adhesive, it doesn't fit flush on the screen then. Even the picture from Clarivue shows that effect, which fails for me. If you like it, that's all that matters right?
Looks like Clariveu read your review and did some more editing in their product description that I don't remember seeing before.
Quote: We recommend installing the glass protector closer to the top of the phone to avoid bubbles near the bottom.
After dealing with Halo on my Nexus 6 with glass protectors, I'm not even going to bother with glass for this phone. I have not ordered the phone yet because I was waiting for a good case and a good plastic screen protector. I found the case I wanted (Supcase Unicorn Beetle) and it will be released on the 25th. Does anyone have a really good plastic screen protector, or know where I can find one? All I can find on Amazon are ones with either bad reviews or no reviews at all. I have some time since I won't be ordering the phone until the case comes in. Thanks in advance!
Wondering this as well, especially since things aren't looking too good from reading the "tempered glass" screen protectors thread (at least until more of them are released). Anyone have any good or decent experiences with plastic screen protectors yet?
I found this one - http://amzn.to/1OaPLU1
I placed my order and will be installing it on mine and my wifes when I get the phone in.
I ordered these
http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZS44QUS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
Seem to be just as good as the ones I always bought from Verizon store. I also cant deal with the glass ones. They either dont fit to the edge of the screen or they pass the edge of the glass screen where the curve starts to drop off and then they chip also.
I ended up ordering XtremeGuard screen protector - http://www.ebay.com/itm/231637665779?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
$1.99 for 6. I heard the XtremeGuard Spartan tempered glass were good (which they are not making for the MXPE). So if the tempered glass is good, I'm guessing the regular ones are just as good. These are the dry versions which I prefer and never had an issue with bubble or dust (I just lift up the edge/side closes to dust and use an extra long piece of tape to grab the particles). They also have a wet application for the front and rear.

I just got mine in yesterday...don't use the bumper with the screen protector. It'll just goof it all up. I'm just dealing with it until I can get a real case. The screen protector is OK...gets oily from your fingers and smudges like crazy but for that cheap, I'll deal with it until decent tempered glass comes out.
I wound up ordering this one:

I have Illumishield for my 3DS and it works great. All of the negative reviews are for the glass, so I ordered the plastic and hopefully it will work well! I'll let everyone know when my phone arrives.

Just got mine today. They fit, but definitely seem like they are not for this phone. Corners are rounded way.differently of a radius and the sensors and camera spots up top seem very generic of a cut.
I already sent an email to the seller on Amazon billing hoping they revise the design.

Yes. Feel is very smooth. Easy to apply. Minimal bubbles that are easy to push out. I've used iLlumishield many times before. Probably top 3 in quality. I'm sure the first run was probably used from a template that was sent to them. If they get an actual phone in hand, the fit will be spot on.
People still use screen protectors.. You do know the only way u can scratch up ur screen or crack it is dropping it on a bunch of small rocks or face first on concrete without a raised bumper case.., only fine grits of rocks and sand scratches gorilla glass.. Yea is no saphire glass but still..

They are so cheap and this way I can ensure I won't get any small surface scratches. It also keeps the screen pristine for when I resell my phone.

Exactly. It barely costs nothing. I have a plastic screen protector and I smacked my phone against the edge of my aluminum Apple keyboard. It damaged the screen protector but my screen is scratch free.
I know that when I sell my LG G3, I can say that the screen is scratch free and in pristine condition because it was protected.
Has there been any consensus on what the best screen protector is yet? Wet or Dry?

I never used wet. Even though a phone may be waterproof in terms of drops, I don't ever want to squeegee water out from a screen protector only for it to get trapped in the crevice of the screen.
I personally prefer the dry only because it uses static to cling on and stays on. If there is dust or particles underneath, all I have to do is lift up the side closest and take an extra long piece of tape and use it to grab the particles. Repeat this until it is particle free and you have a flawless screen protector.
In the past, the screen protector was sticky and if something got stuck underneath, that was it. It would be hard to remove the particle.

Awesome! Thanks for this - just placed an order for the Hi Def Dry screen protector (which I assume is traditional PET). Can't beat 60 cents!
With the FLat Screen on the GOOGLE PXEL and Pixel 4 XL - getting quality screen protectors is going to be much easier than it has been in the past with curved glass screens.
I ordered my screen protector form Amazon - The AMFILM Glass Screen Protector
and I am very happy with the results. Comes with the usual accessories and a 'frame' for installing the screen protector. The box includes 3 glass screen protectors in case something happens with the first one. The price
is very reasonable, just $8.99. Installation was a piece of cake - no bubbles - installed quickly - no halo around the edges and case friendly.
I have used AMFilm Screen protectors on other phones and have always been very happy with their customer service and the quality of their screen protectors. I installed mine and then put my Spigen Crystal Clear case
on and I feel it is nicely protected. Looks great too!

Did you use the Installation Tray to install yours? If so did that line it up perfectly?
Look for the ESR tempered glass. Black borders but it's full adhesive and fits perfect. has an installation frame so no alignment issues. 2 pack for 15 I think.

Yup - lines up perfectly when installing with the installation tray.
I went with this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WHN62XS/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_fdUSDbJE435Z5
It's a 3 pack as well, a little less cost and has the grooved cutouts instead of the straight flat line at the top. Will see how well it applies and handles.

I currently have these on and the fit isn't the best. I get a slight halo on the top cutout and a little on the lower left side. I'm pretty sure if a installation tray was included it would solve the problem. I also gave these a try but the black border covered some of the viewable screen and the case was pathetic so I sent them back. I will be getting the AMFILM like the OP today. Those were great with the 3XL.

I like the ESR TGSP too for the 4XL. I was able to install it bubble-free with the included tray and I like the fact it's full adhesive. This is probably the best one out there right now until Whitestone Dome makes one for the the Pixel 4 & 4XL.

The only issue I have with the ESR is the borders cut into your display so you loose a tiny bit on the edge.

The installation was drop-dead simple. The included positioning frame makes it really easy.
No bubbles.
No halos.

Does your screen protector seem too narrow and not wide enough? I am tempted to get the same one but the reviews on Amazon seem to consistently complain how the screen protector isn't wide enough to cover the entire screen
every TGSP on Amazon seems to have issues with being too narrow...
I also like the reviews which were all written months before the phone was released too! All were 5 stars...

The Pixel 4 XL's screen is curved/rounded near the very edges. This means that any tempered glass screen protector is going to have to be a couple millimeters smaller than the screen, so that it doesn't develop a halo (due to dust & debris finding it's way under the screen protector near the edges where there's little/no adhesion).
In my opinion, the amFilm tempered glass screen protector is VERY precisely sized so that it doesn't develop a halo, yet covers ALL of the viewable/back-lit screen area.
I am very happy with the fit
I've tried a few screen protectors so far and finally found one that has zero halo and covers the visible part of the actual screen. I also comes with an install frame for aligning it properly.

I have the amFilm as well, and it definitely feels too narrow. Not visually, but it's not pleasant to use with the back gesture. Your thumb ends up rubbing on the sharp edge. Other than that, it seems very high quality and fits very well.
I also tried the Pleson screen protector, and I highly recommend avoiding that. It doesn't adhere properly at all. I tried installing two of them with no luck, and threw away the third. Complete junk.
I've ordered the IntelliARMOR screen protector to see how that works.
Edit: Now that you mentioned it and I took a closer look, the amFilm is definitely too narrow, and there are portions of the screen sticking out on both sides. I'm just going to take it off, I can't unsee it now.
