[Short Review]Recommended Fully Adhere - Tempered Glass

[otonieru]

Hi all,

We all know how hard it is to find a good Tempered glass for a smartphone with curving edge display,

That also the case with our Pixel 2 XL

Luckily, finally i managed to found tempered glass that has full adhesive, case friendly, and doesn't break our bank account, :laugh:

Here's the product : Tempered Glass for Google Pixel 2XL Screen Protector FULL GLUE Case Friendly Premium Screen Glass Protector For Google Pixel2XL

(from AliExpress Android)

Price : $11.77 include free shipping,

It took week till it arrive to my door. Item shipped from Hongkong, am living in Indonesia

Packaging : its good and safe. Tempered glass placed inside a sterofoam box .

Installation : Now, this is the tricky part, although it has full adhesive, the installation wont go as simple as installing other (ex iPhone) full adhesive TG. It (the adhesive) tends to spread unevenly causing bubble.

The trick is to go from the corner, while keep the other corner floating, press the glass with two or more finger ensuring no bubble appear in the process.

It will take sometimes till you get it right with zero bubble,

But the result is rewarding. It perfectly fit, and can be used with cases as well. I use it with original google fabric case.

Check some pictures bellow :

Sorry, forgot to turn off the portrait mode

Yes. Doesn't look like it cuts off the edges too badly. What I was waiting on but not sure I want to deal with Ali.

It was quite gambling for me as well, lol,

But since i have no other option available in my country, u guess i have nothing to lose for 12 bucks.

Now am waiting a case to arrive

Looks good. I just don't understand why they make the top and bottom black instead of clear if it is full adhesive.

I'm guessing this is the same product as HeroShield. Looks the same. My HeroShield should arrive in a few weeks, so we'll see.

Does it have a cut out for the proximity sensor? I don't mean just a transparent window, proper gap/no glass bit over the sensor. I can't see from the photos

how is the screen feel and oleophobic coating? Does the finger glide eaily on the screen?

Its because although the adhesive on the display area is full, there's lil gap on the edge area where it doesn't have the adhesive, i guess due to the curve, it still not possible to create fully transparent glass protector with full adhesive. I never seen one for popular phone like iphone either. All iphone x glass protector has coloring as well.

The only real transparent protector with full adhesive is whitestone probably, but thats using low viscosity loca to begin with, so its different story, not to mention the skyhigh price.

It doesn't. It have a transparent window with adhesive under . It stick perfectly though, thus no interference to the proximity function. I try make a call and place finger over the sensor, it work normally

how is the screen feel and oleophobic coating? Does the finger glide eaily on the screen?

Nothing extraordinary regarding the coating i guess. Finger glide nicely just like on original screen. But it collecting fingerprint overtime. (Am one of those guy who have wet hand all the time though, so my experience with fingerprint might be severe than how it should) :silly:

ordered! hope it will arrive soon!

btw do you have to tear it out to re position it when you are applying on the screen?

You need to lift it off if you already stick large area of it prior to reposition,

Positioning is quite easy though, the harder part is to push the glass slow and even.

I'd almost be interested, but I try to stay away from protectors that cover the proximity sensor. I know it works sometimes, I've just been bitten by it too many times on phones where it causes issues.

Here's HeroShield's install video. Seems like they include a squeegee with theirs to help with the bubbles.

Mine comes today, so I'll see what it's like too.

These look interesting. I am with the previous poster about the prox sensor cut out. Please share your experience when you get it.

Can see from the video that it has glass covering the sensor, so it will be hit or miss. Some will have no issues with the sensor. Others will.
Mine will be here in a few weeks, so I'll see then too.

Hi OP... Are you able to post some picts of the top and bottom edge of the phone? Or a pict that can somehow show the gap of the side of the protector to where it meets the screen. Just curious to see if there is a slight gap as there is no adhesive there. Since I go case less, I am afraid I will always crack the glass because of this gap. Thanks in advance!

Something like this ?

Those picts are good!!! thanks!!!
