Nope they are all hideous or don't fit properly due to the curved edges of the screen and don't stick properly so dirt and dust can get under the screen protector. I've been using my xa with no screen protection since July last year and so far there isn't a scratch or mark on it even after being dropped at work. The scratch resistance on the x range is in a different league to my previous xperia devices. Only thing I use is a orzly slim fit case.

I can confirm, tempered screen protector are bad for same reasons said by @aidy.lucas . I can add an other problem, you lose some sensitivity on the edges (harder to use the keyboard) I tried 3 differents and result is near the same, a piece of s**t. My XA doesn't have screen protector too and no scratches on it since July.

it is very difficult to find a screen guard for xa but you risked going with out, big mistake. anyway i use Roxfit screen guard. It cover the curved too.

I suggested you "Dapad TPU film", and yet there is not hard to touch at all.
Unfortunately, it doesn't cover whole screen.

aidy.lucas is correct.
I got a glass one which doesn't cover the whole display (it can't because of the curve) and it has a continuous ugly air bubble around the edge. The only reason I've still got it on is because I'd rather have this than a scratched screen, apparently the screen scratches easily.

Tempered glass? or normal screen protector?

Will you take a Tempered glass or Plastic on your Nexus 9?
The tempered glass very helpful for anti scratch but too heavy and thick.
Price of Tempered glass much expensve than Plastic one.
$17.9/pcs of Tempered glass in this store:oiostore meanwhile $10.9 of plastic one(Nillkin Glossy)
Price is $11.9~$16.9 on aliexpress.com, different seller offer difference.
For me, I don't like any screen protector on my tablet pc....
Tempered glass feels and looks so much better. And i doubt you'll be able to notice the weight difference.
Tempered glass all the way!

I order one similar to this and there's two hole on the protector, one on top and another at the bottom. Does your have an opening for the front facing camera and another one at the bottom?
I have a tempered glass protector on my S4 and love it. The feel is superb, is not prone to becoming dull and scuffed like the film type protector and simply makes me feel I'm swiping the original surface. Can't wait to get one of these on my N9!

The link shows a glass protector for me "PLESON® Premium Google Nexus 9 Tempered Glass Screen Protector (2.5D 9H Hardness, Superslim 0.3mm)". In fact, both of those links appear to be pretty much the same thing (look at the product images with the hammer).

That's the one i ordered. it feels like any other tempered glass screen protector. but it's odd how there's an opening on the bottom of the protector. There's a opening for the front facing camera and a smaller one at the bottom. Not sure why there's one at the bottom unless there's some sensor i dont know about.

tempered glass for quality experience
Just received and installed my Plesion tempered glass protector. It fits perfectly. The cutout is very close. So you better be extra tedious when you install it. The feel is excellent. Little to none finger prints noticed. Over all, im happy with it.
So my IVSO screen protector arrived finally, I got these:
http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00OMNEY1M/
Overall the cut is nice and is a good fit for the screen, albeit a bit tight with very little room for error. There is a nice cut out around the speakers, front camera and what I assume is the currently disabled notification LED on the bottom. I thought I messed up because I had many micro-bubbles under it after the application but those seemed to have cleared out after a few hours. The screen itself is not hampered by the glass in any way and my fingers glide across it perfectly fine. Time will tell how well this lasts but it feels solid.
I purchased this really early on when it was like 7 bucks plus 5 dollar shipping. The price has now gone up by almost 100% to 22 dollars and I'm glad I ordered it pre-production.
If you guys have any questions about it, you can ask me and I can try to answer as best as possible.

No i haven't seen them review. Perhaps the reviewer received fake item. I don't know but I'm sure mine is 100% glass.
Keep in mind these things are made and shipped from China. There is a good chance fake stuff got through distribution channels.

I attached 3 examples of what i am looking for any of the 3 will do as long as they do NOT cover the camera.
Thanks for any help .

Is there any reason in particular you don't want it to cover the camera? I imagine most manufacturers thnk they might as well cover the camera and protect it from scratches aswell. And in my experience the protector doesn't affect the camera visibly.
I have heard that. I just prefer it. When you get your new s5 it has cut outs on the initial scree protector so I am surprised that even Samsung hasn't made one. I may have no choice though
May I ask what tempered glass protection is? If it is just like normal screen protection, then here is the one for you: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00I6CQCKG

Tempered glass is a thicker screen protector. Most of the time it has an oleophobic coating to prevent smudges/fingerprints.
A screen protector is worthless on an S5. This phone has gorilla glass. If you do something to damage the glass, I can pretty much guarantee that protector will fail at the same time the glass does. Save your money.

I would hardly say it's worthless to put on your phone. Can never have enough protection for an expensive device. Gorilla glass is ok, but not indestructible. The tempered glass will absorb the impact and possibly Crack in certain situations, but usually the screen underneath will still be fine... :silly:
I just got this one from Amazon yesterday it does not cover the front camera. Best part is that it's cheap and looks good.

I've recently changed my S5 glass screen protector as I dropped my phone and it cracked. The phone screen itself didn't crack and, from my own experience having a glass screen protector is well worth the money.

I really don't think that covering the camera really that bad, I've got a glass screen protector on my handset and it doesn't take away any quality from my selfies! I think if it's applied incorrectly (has bubbles or dirt on the protector) then it would.
Did you mange to find one that doesn't cover the camera? I would be interested to see the difference if there is any.

FEATURE of Temperedglass:
1. Safety. Once broken, it splits into tiny harmless pieces;
2. Hardness. 4 times harder than ordinary float glass;
3. Special logo and pattern can be printed on the tempered glass;
4. The best screen protector in resisting thermal stress and wind-load;
5. Bear sudden temperature change of 220 centigrade degree.

No marks at all but always keep the phone in a pocket with no money, keys etc.
I always don't understand the screen protectors. Are there any protectors people buy and put on their expensive cars?
So no protector for me. Have a dbrand skin on the back mainly for the slippery problem (but it doesnt fix it), it helps with the fingerprint smudges.
but I use a slide in case on the go or a protective cover while hiking/etc.
I use a Diztronic TPU case and never use a screen protector. I don't carry my phone in my pants pocket, so I've never worried about scratches. Haven't scratched a screen yet.

Small Otterbox shell and screen protector. Every now and then I take the shell off, and admire its design.
Haven't used a screen protector in years. The gorilla glass is really food; the minor scratches that are barely visible after years of use look better than the static cling film on top.
For the time being I'm using zagg HD dry and otterbox symmetry but never break a phone or really damage one. I have a toastmade skin coming in soon for front and back so probably gonna take off zagg.

Glass Screen Protector

Anyone got any links to where to buy glass screen protector?
I ordered this from Amazon. It looks like it's a Japanese brand giving me some hope that its good quality glass. It also has a 2.5 D edge which should contour nicely with the curved screen. Although its not edge to edge (understandable since its a curved screen), I hope it won't leave too large of a gap. I will post a review of it next week when the phone arrives.

I think this one only has adhesive along the edges, which if that is the case, then no thanks. Screen would be less responsive and you feel the gaps when you press on it.

I've been using my xa with no screen protection since July and so far not a scratch or mark on it seems the x range really does have 9h hardness glass as standard. I don't normally use devices without them but they are either all ugly as hell, don't cover the whole screen or if they do they only stick at the edges allowing dirt and fluff etc to get under it.

From what I've seen/read, the X line uses Gorilla glass.
XZ's screen feels different to the touch than the Z series' does.

True RE adhesive.
And somewhat true RE screen responsiveness - but nothing that's majority a distraction in my opinion.
But the cutout for the front face camera is the main drawback. It's so perfect that the camera suffers from a shadow hue type artifact.
I bought this one, entire screen coverage and curved to fit the phone perfectly, nice cut-outs too but unfortunately only has adhesive around the edges so I've already got dust trapped under the glass around where the cut-outs are
Might go for the roxfit one instead unless anyone could recommend better?
I ordered this one today.
They have it in black, white and completely transparent. And should also protect around the edges.
Will try to remember to pay my findings when i get it, but will take a few weeks probably

The Z3 has the proximity and camera swapped. If you can find a protector which has holes only for the speakers then it might fit.

Are there any Pixel XL screen protectors that actually cover the whole screen?

I just bought the Zagg Invisible Shield screen protector through Verizon Wireless. When I was putting it on I noticed that it doesn't cover the whole screen, in fact it doesn't even cover the display portion completely (about 1 mm on each side). Plus the edges are kind of sharp. Has anyone found a good, strong protector that covers the entire glass, not just barely over the display portion?

Seems to be an issue with all the screen protectors I've seen so far.
I just got my pixel today and installed these: Google Pixel XL Screen Protector, Fosmon 3 Pack [Full Screen Coverage | HD Crystal Clear] TPU Sticky Coating Screen Shield for Google Pixel XL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXFJB6A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Rb.cybZB0ZRV6
It's full coverage. It's very soft, it reminds me of a wet application protector. It is also incompatible with the TPU case I have (Spigen rugged armor). The sides peel up if I try to put the case on.
Any pictures of the zagg installed ?

We're going to have to wait until Intelliarmor makes an Edge to Edge protector like they made for the Nexus 6. That was the perfect screen protector imo.

Every customer review on Amazon is pretty much negative. Still awaiting something half decent...

They look small too and reviews and pictures say as much. Don't see a halo in the photos though.

I know they're small but they cover the viewable screen which the vast majority if not all of the ones I've seen so far don't. I ordered some G-Color ones which leave 1mm of the screen either side of the protector not covered. I can live with a gap between case and protector for now as long as the screen isn't obscured by the edge of the protector.
Are there any film protectors which cover the screen better until someone gets a tempered glass right?
I've got a couple of different film ones on the way but they won't arrive till Friday onwards. The only other film one I could see on Amazon has already been confirmed to not be case compatible.

I went to Verizon and got their 3 pack of plastic screen protector for the XL. They work just fine and fit well. Using these till a good tempered glass comes along.
I ordered an icarez screen protector. It is arriving today. After reading all your reviews I am hoping that this one covers more of the screen. I will take some pics after install.

But this is not tempered glass. It's a film protector (protects from scratches but not cracks). Gorilla glass is already pretty scratch-proof for the most part. Looking for crack protection that glass provides.

They call their tempered glass Spartan. It's there on the page!
I've had their TGSPs for my Nexus 6P and my M9 and M8 and I really like them.

There´s a picture of the generic series but they do not have one for the Pixel. The image on the page does not go to a link. The page you linked to is only a film protector and that's the only one they have currently available.

Don't know what to tell you. I successfully ordered two of the Spartan Tempered Glass for my Pixel XL from that very page. Double-checked the link I posted just now and the radio button is there on the right-hand side of the page in the Choose Your Product Options area (3rd radio button down).
The text says, "Spartan Tempered Glass Screen $59.99 Sale Price:$24.99"
Maybe the page isn't loading right for you or something. Maybe if I get a chance later I'll post a screenshot.
