[Q] Screen protector differences

I'm planning on buying the OPO with a screen protector along with it and the flip cover. I could see two screen protectors one being a normal one and one being premium, i don't see any differences in the site. Anyone here know? And which one should I get? Matte or anti-fingerprint? Thank you

Don't bother with either of the official OnePlus screen protectors, they're useless. You want a tempered glass screen protector, they actually offer some protection for your screen. I use the Nillkin 9H, it's outstanding. I've heard good things about the Rhino Shield one too.

Me too...
Couldn't be happier with the Nillkin. Put off installing it for a bit and went naked. Really can't tell too much of a difference when it's on, and it was way easier to install than the film type protectors.

Nillkin? Aw man does that mean i have to order somewhere else? And does the tempered glass they offer suck too?

I'd stick with the Nillkin. And yes, you'd need to order it somewhere else, I don't see why that's a problem though.

i was gonna order it along with the phone to lessen shipping costs, but nevermind i didn't get the screen protector or the glass. I only got the flip cover with it as the shipping cost got up to almost 20 dollars, so i thought that i would just get the screen protector somewhere else. Thanks btw =)

I didn't have to pay for any shipping at all when I bought mine, it came from Aliexpress or something like that I think.

No problem! I have a Rhino Shield case on my 6P and I love it!

Any chance these won't make the phone ultra wide like they did on the Nexus 6P?
I bought that one and it made the phone hard to even hold.

I do like bumpers but often they seem a bit plain but with a dbrand skin they look great! If you also want protection then go for a fusion bumper!

Same here. Just pre-ordered white for the aluminum Pixel XL.

can you use both the bumper screen with the screen protector?

Good stuff. Believe it or not, I never heard of Rhinoshield. Haha.
Pre-ordered!

Does the crash guard work with magnetic car holders? I'm thinking of putting the metal shim under a dbrand skin and using a crash guard. I have a dbrand + crash guard setup on my nexus 6p but I never found a way to put the shim on without it sticking past the crash guard's rim height.

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

@intelliARMOR is it to early to ask for a eta on this for the pixel xl?

I have the intelliarmor on my 6p and will definitely get one for the pixel xl

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.

Is VZW selling cases in their stores?

Does anyone know?

Yes. They have Speck case in black, Incipio dual protection in black, clear Incipio hard case and Tech21 in black.

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...
https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/belkin-usb-c-charger-with-usb-c-cable/

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

Got the purgear glass screen protector. Expensive as hell. ~$50. They said I can come in whenever and get it replaced.
It fits perfectly tho. Case friendly

Aliexpress cases are.... Fake

Ordered what I thought was a Samsung alcantera case. It's clearly a crap fake in a poor Samsung box. Buttons barely exist so it's difficult to turn on and use volume controls. As usual Chinese copies.

If you're getting a curved edge device like the Note9 the only option is WhiteStone Dome.
When you think of tempered glass screen protector, think of WhiteStone dome.

Actually whitestone is not available in India and ordering via amazon.come mean it will cost about 60$ including shipping charges with a wait time of 15-30 days.

I ordered two cases and two tempered glass off AliExpress. I will let you know how things pan out.

Aliexpress have refunded!
It was clearly marked as 100% OE Samsung but the buttons were non existent and the box said made in Vietnam and the case had made in China! And it was fluffier than my note 8 alcantera case.
