Pictures would be nice. I couldn't pass up this price even though I couldn't find any reviews.

I found some input on Reddit and 1 picture with a bumper on with a broken screen.

I had a XGear Fantom that was. 4mm and the LG bumper fit fine. Now I ordered the Maru labs and if it ever comes, it should fit as well since it's. 37mm.

Don't have picture I broke the screen protector!! I shut my car door on my phone the screen cover broke but my phone was perfect!! I had the first model of the protector which was a little thicker so the bumper wouldn't fit to well and just pushed the protector up!!! The new one is thinner so it might fit better!!

Ok pulled the trigger for a black one. I have the LG white bumper, but was battling if I should go white. But hearing or reading that there are some gaps, I opted for the black.

Thanks. This is how I found out about Maru labs - from what I know they were adjusting the batch currently. I should have actually gotten the screen protector earlier last week but it was delayed. So we'll see.

Uh, I wouldn't want that. hah.

Few questions for some owners..
1) The site doesn't advertise being oleophobic, but do fingerprints show up pretty badly?
2) Has anyone tried this case with a slim case such as the Rinke or Nillkin? It wraps around the edges pretty tightly and am wondering if the Maru glass extends that far.

Mine should be at my office waiting for me on Monday. I'll post pics if it works on my bumper lol.

Just received my cover and its shattered dam it and this was supposed to be my replacement cover

From this users experience it doesn't seem to be anti fingerprint http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus4/comments/1e2fzi/maru_labs_tempered_glass_screen_protector/ca2qhpr

I received mine today.
It does leave fingerprints.
Sensitivity does go down a little.
Cases I've tried on: (I've put this on for only a couple of seconds to see if it would fit or not. I don't know if it would cause an issue for extended use)
Ringke fusion - seems to fit, looks good.
Poetic atmosphere - seems to fit, looks good.
Nillkin leather flip - fit good.
Poetic borderline - It does not fit. I can't put it on with the protector on.
Poetic slimbook - fit good.

Oh god, does it just come a cheap little padded envelope? I'm worried about the condition of my protector now too.

Nope, It came in a flatten box. (well mine came in flat with no other padding or bubbles)
It only came with the protector only, no cleaning cloth.

Tempered Glass Screen Protecters ?

Has anyone found tempered glass for the P XL?
I contacted IntelliARMOR about Intelliglass for the Pixel XL. They contacted me back and said they have no plans on making it.

I orderd these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LXUR9AY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Same ones I have on my Nexus 6p.

@intelliARMOR, I have your screen protector for my Pixel C, and have been very happy working with you guys. I'm commenting here to let you know I'd love to keep working with you for my Pixel XL. I'm sure if enough people express interest, intelliARMOR will be on board.

Yes, we're working on them now. Stay tuned!

I'll be waiting to see some real reviews before I get one

I ordered a 2 pack of tgsp from Amazon called supershieldz. $7.99. Arriving between 20 and 24 of October.
The orzly ones are super cool with the colored surrounds but in my experience never work good for cases.

Hope that's not one of those ones that only has the adhesive on the top and bottom to accommodate the curve....the Samsung devices are a nightmare to get tempered glass protectors that don't suck.

I hate those bloody screen protectors, went through 4 of them for my wife's S7 Edge before giving up and getting a wet screen protector instead. Had the same issues as well with my OP3, currently using OP's second attempt at tempered glass which luckily does have adhesive everywhere but covers a couple of mms of the screen, hopefully tempered glass on Pixel XL has none of these issues.

It has a textured finish, it adds a lot of grip on the inside of the case.
It's smooth like a usual TPU case on the outside

On the inside? Hmmmm okay

The inside is textured so that you don't get the air bubbling effect that you would on some cases that have smooth TPU on the inside surface - it has nothing to do with 'grip'.

Looks like it's cut pretty well. Any reason why you went with the clear over the black armored one? I ordered a Quite Black Pixel, so I'm trying to determine if I should get a crystal or a black one, haha.

Hope it is good as my one for Nexus 5x. For 5x I had the thicker one, the Ultra Hybrid, but now I would like to have a thinner one for more feeling.
Will report when it is delivered and I got my Pixel.

Does it seem like the edge will be above the screen to prevent the screen hitting something if it face-plants?

Where did you order it from? Spigen's site only has it available for preorder.

As dust and sand gets in, those dots or ridges help protect the phone from being scraped

I ordered this for my 128gb black. O also ordered two other no name clear tpu cases. I can say without a doubt...the cuts on the speigen are a lot neater. There is also a slight border around the side of the case that isn't there on the cheaper cases. I got mine for $13 vs $8 for the two other cheap ones. Well worth the extra $5.

Back Glass Protector

Has anyone seen a protector for the glass on the back of the phone? I have seen some that cover the entire back. I was hoping for one that covers just the glass on the back. I think tempered glass would be best.

take look to slickwraps.com they sell full body naked

I was thinking the same thing, but there will be an uncomfortable lip. Tempered is pretty thick stuff. I think slick wraps has a matte finish naked version. That shouldn't compromise the natural look of the metal.

I was thinking about trying one of those liquid screen protectors just on the back. Sharkproof I think is the one I saw on Amazon.

Man, I came across one last night. It was a UK site and they had a two piece back protector, one piece for the back glass and one piece the the bottom half. I can't for the life of me find where I saw the link. I could have sworn I saw it here, but it could have been on reddit.

Xtremeguard has a protector for just the glass. You have to buy the full back or body kit though. I ordered a set for my 5 inch pixel but it hasn't arrived yet. I got mine on amazon but don't see the XL listed there. Someone on Reddit got one and had pictures of it.

Put 2+ in cart and use GIANT92 code for 92% site wide shipping free, but $1 expedite is a tad faster.
They are the old orange peel type without the dots/pores, self repairing, adds good grip.
I install these even if using a tpu/case keeps the sand that gets in from scratching the back and phone stays mint.
Edit; forgot to mention I install these using the steamed shower in the bathroom method with great success eliminating dust. I also use the skinomi sprayer with a tiny drop of dawn to wet.

Pixel XL back glass screen protector found on Amazon
I found a back tempered glass screen protector for the glass on the back top half of the Pixel XL. It is sold in combination with the front tempered glass screen protector as well. You cannot buy it separately. It's $12.99 i believe and ships in 2 days via Amazon Prime. I just ordered mine. When I get it, I'll install it and post a pic of it here.

Did you see if they had the glass screen protectors as well? Was thinking about hitting the local Verizon store after work.

I need to go to the local VZW store to pick up one of these on my friends manger discount...

Yea my local Verizon had a about 5 of them including a clear speck and otterbox. They also had tempered for the pixel xl but it doesn't even cover the entire lcd screen which made it look very weird with the screen on.
Edit: we have 2 Verizon stores less than 1 mile away from each other but one is a privately owned one and they didn't have anything but corporate is where they had everything.

And all are super expensive
