I can't get rid of the rings on the pixel. This is my second case and same issue. I do have a skinomi clear skin on just the back I'm afraid the case will leave rub marks. Anyone else using this case without​ the rainbow rings? Should I just ignore it?

I was wondering if anyone else has had the problem I'm having with my Sensation. I know that because it's Gorilla Glass, I don't need it, but
Being cautious, I put a screen protector on.
The protector does not stick well to the edges, likely because of the curved glass. I've tried two brands of screen protector so far, and both have the same problem. It does not sit flat, and forms bubbles. I've had to cut it down with scissors to minimize the problem, but it still bubbles and looks awful on this gorgeous device.
I asked Phil from AC, and he said he would look in to it, but surely I'm not the only one. A quick twitter search confirms that at least one other person has this issue... How about you guys?

My Zagg InvisibleShield is fine. There were a few bubbles but as the instructions say, they go after a few days. Now it looks fine.
I bought the 3M Vikuity protector, took a little while in putting it on but you only know its there if you look close on the edges where I got a bit of a finger print. Otherwise no bubbles.
I am with the same problem. Just today I applied screen protector through very experienced guy. Therefore he failed. Now I am caring this phone with bubbles in all edges :-(
I will catch hell for speaking what "i" have come to believe as truth, but the Sensation accessories are paltry, nonexistent or faulty. This is particularly applicable to the screen protector that is sold at T-mobile. As indicated by the OP, the curvature of the glass ultimately creates air pockets and loosens on occasion to create air bubbles. On top of that there is no anti-glare/smudge protection on the plastic. To get around this:
1. get the fb coupon for 50% accessories
2. Grab a couple of HD2 anti smudge protectors
3. Measure the fitting so that the protector is a perfect rectangle. I also made sure that the protector extended a smidgen below the htc/t-mobile branding to just below there the screen cuts off. This, from what I have experienced, puts the protector on the flattest parts of the screen.
This is working for me. my .02.
(management note- It is beyond ridiculous that I have to do this myself).
Agreed. I was excited to get an Otterbox Impact series and pay whatever price necessary. Sadly, I'm stuck with a no-name case and these screen protectors with bubbles.
http://yfrog.com/kirj2kij (not trying to boast about speed, but it works for that, too) shows the bubbles that seem to form with every protector I try. It also shows that the protector had to be cut to minimize the problem.
Is the Sensation the first device with this curved glass feature?
Get the official HTC screen protectors instead of the T-Mobile ones. They cover the whole glass front.

I got a Phantom Skin and it looks just fine. Sticks well and no bubbles or edges coming up.

Steal a new case?
TPU by nature absorbs things, but doesn't release them easily. There really isn't way to bring it back to the original white color.
I bought a clear TPU case that turned a dingy yellow in about a month. My advice, only buy darker colors if you are getting tpu.

AJerman....that was funny lol I think that's my best option seeing KindaTired's response lol thanks to you both
I had one and Tried about everything too. I had on with white sides and a clear hard back. After everything I tried brake cleaner. The break cleaner seemed to work, but it made the back hard plastic crack. Mine was turning blue from my jeans. It took the blue off but left the ugly yellowish color still....
www.handhelditems.com has a lot of white tpu cases. they were $4 when I bough them and I decided to be 5 so when they turn nasty i throw them out. hope that helps
I'm actually looking to dye a translucent TPU case from clear to black. Does anyone know if there are dyes that will absorb into and not bleed or rub off of TPU? I don't want something that will end up staining my clothes when I put in in and out of my pocket.
ESdesigns, just paint the inner side of the case with acrylic paint and a few coats will make it solid black (or any color really). After that make sure to use some clear coat over the paint to protect it, and thats it. And if you wanna keep it clear but tint it with a certain color just use ink or semipermanent hair dye (like manic panic, arctic fox, stargazer, etc) and again just apply a coat of the coloring on the inner side of the case and leave it for like half an hour, maybe an entire hour to be sure, then rinse. It'll be tinted but will remain clear.
Hi, I have a question about Spigen Liquid Crystal case. I would like to know if the dotted pattern doesn't scratch or leave marks on the glass back panel after some time using it. Thank you
Any dirt between case and phone will eventually cause it to scratch, I had to threaten legal action to get my glass replaced due to the s-view case damaging the screen, buy a rear protector so you have something physically stuck to the back glass that cannot move and take the damage instead of the phone.

The dots will only be visible if you look at it from a certain angle. And no, the dots won't cause any damage/ visible marksto the phone's rear back.
GoNz0 and Rakcoon thank you for your help.
I have Spigen's transparent case on my phone.
It's been about 8 months.
The back of the case is horribly scratched up like hell.
The entire case itself has turned yellowish, which is normal for silicone and perfect for my golden S6.
The edges and sides of the case however turned reddish, you know like redhead women? Like that, however the colour change is not that prominent and it actually looks cool. It's visible only from certain angles though.
However, I use a blower to make sure to dust gets trapped in-between the back of my phone and the inside of the case, so I don't really have scratches on the back of my phone.
Protection wise? It's worth it, doesn't really add too much bulk, but it's good enough for protection from drops about 4 feet onto concrete floor. Get Nillkim's Amazing H+ tempered glass to protect the front, that's what I'm using on my S6.
Don't ask for photos of it, I'm too lazy to do that.

I know what your thinking...ANOTHER THREAD DISCUSSING THIS!!??!!
Let me just say I didn't do this on purpose. I stumbled onto this combination by accident. And I'm just gonna say that it's almost like the old Reeses cup commercials. You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!!
Ok, I got these screen protectors this morning from China. They were the standard glass screen protectors. I received a Clear and a Black. I immediately installed the Clear. It looked good. I had an appointment to get to so...I put the Otterbox Defender case back on my phone with the glass screen protector to at least protect the phone while I was out. It was a tight fit!!
This combination was horrible. I had to press extra hard and i was fairly annoyed. FFW a couple hours. I get home, the phone has been in my pocket and I notice the plastic shield on the Defender, along the adges looked a little dirty, I had to take the glass off too, so I take the case apart and the plastic shield was coming off of the frame that it attaches to. UGH!!! I started to take a few pictures of the problem to send to Otterbox. I had also removed the clear glass screen protector. I started thinking.....BINGO!!
I removed the clear protector on the Otterbox (someone else in the threads mentioned they did this...thanks for the idea). I installed the black edged Glass screen protector and reassembled everything. I must say....this is is the best I've seen. It's an expensive combination....and an unintended surprise.
The company for these Glass Screen protectors is as follows:
Dongguan Strawberry Electronic CO, Ltd
Sara (she is really cool to deal with) WeChat contact ID ps216816
These guys can also be found via Alibaba.com
I don't have a cost...I paid for shipping and they provided me the samples. I didn't receive these protectors in a product box. Just 2 protectors in identical sleeves (pictured below)
Here's the installed Black Glass and Modified Otterbox defender case:
I'm not sure how long this will last...the Glass had glue all the way around the edges. The home button has glue all the way around it. The headset speaker has glue all the way around it. The cutouts for the cameras have no glue.
I'm not promoting anyone or anything. I'm only saying this is working for me at this exact moment in time.
I always remove the plastic screen protectors from OtterBox defenders... They do nothing but gather dust/dirt and create rub marks around the plastic edges over time.

Has anyone tried removing a dbran skin from the glass area on the back of their Pixel? I've had the carbon fiber version installed for a few months, but now I'm looking to change it up. Just wondering if I will have any issues of the skin leaving residue on the glass or something else?
Thanks in advance.
They will not leave a residue. There might be some dirt accumulating around the edge, but it will wipe right off.
