Whitestone DOME GLASS [Perfect Full Coverage] Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Google Pixel 8 Pro with UV lamp [2Pack]

This is the first screen protector I've ever put on a phone. The installation is involved and the included instructions are complete but not friendly. Watching several videos helped. Applying the small strips of tape is tedious (don't let them cover the glass). The rocking jig is weird but does what it's supposed to do. The glue does not harden on exposure to air and rolls around the screen in a big bubble so you have plenty of time to play with it and move it to the preferred position by tilting the jig. My big scare was when the screen protector prematurely dropped onto the screen. It seems the glue bubble position was good enough because the glue slowly spread to cover the entire screen. I cured the heck out of it (4 segments of ~25% each per pass with 2 short passes in jig, remove from jig, remove tape, wipe edges, then 3 long passes out of jig) and let it "age" overnight before using the phone (probably unnecessary but one video suggested it). The protector is well-positioned and solidly attached to the screen with no bubbles or dust or any observable flaws, and no glue mishaps.I feel like the screen is slightly less responsive, especially the fingerprint sensor, however I didn't set up fingerprints until after protector installation so maybe the 8's sensor is just slower and requires pressing harder on the screen. I can live with it.I hate that this is a Pixel 7 product (there is a "Pixel 8" sticker over the printed "Pixel 7" label). Pixel 7 had a curved screen, 8 has a flat screen -- how can the same protector work for both? I think it's because it didn't really fit the 7 curved screen. Whatever, it seems to be okay on the 8.Would I do it again? I don't know. Plastic film is probably fine, but bubbles and dust specks drive me crazy and I feel like the liquid adhesive minimizes/eliminates that. But it's expensive and time-consuming to install.

From the very beginning, the package was for a Pixel 7 Pro, and not Pixel 8. The parts inside were indeed for a Pixel 8 Pro, however.I shook that off and continued. After about an hour and a half and one failed attempt at the overcomplicated, convoluted and overall pointless installation that requires you to watch a video and not mess up a single time, the protector was on my phone.I'll say, yes, it fits great and it looks good. It made the colors of my screen look different, which I can't really describe other than over or under saturated depending upon the light. It also stuck to my phone properly and fit the majority of the screen, minus the edges (which it advertises a full protection which it's just not). There was a high glare on any sort of overhead light, which was annoying. The fingerprints don't really show, which is nice.Almost 3 days later, I noticed scratches on the screen and I haven't dropped my phone a single time at that point. I've been incredibly careful and never kept anything that would scratch any part of the phone next to it. Not in my pocket, at home or work. There were no cracks, however and the phone's screen was still in tact.4 days later, I noticed that the top right edge of my protector was coming off and causing it to look wet under the screen considering the "glue". It appears the UV "curing" didn't actually do anything at all.I still shook it off as it was reassuring to have a protector at all. Today, I dropped my phone on the carpet, from about 3 feet down and the screen protector has a noticable crack on the top left. It also appears that crack made the top right where the protector was coming off even worse, and now it looks like there's spider webs under the top of my screen.It's really really easy to remove, which is concerning. All it really takes is bringing up the edges slightly and it comes right off like any other screen protector.Just save your money. Get amfilm or something. There's not really any screen protector for the pixel 8 pro that covers all the boxes and they all seem to have downsides or are overpriced gimmicks such as this.My last Pixel 3a had $9 amfilm that I kept on it since launch up until I had this phone last month, and I've dropped it hundreds of times with literally no scratches or cracks to the protector or screen. This is probably worth around $9 such as the others. The other gimmicky things such as the UV light, jig, etc are the factors that make it cost $40.Save your money. Avoid this. Ignore the paid / free item reviews. It's just not worth it.

When done correctly, the finished product is flawless with no bubbles.But I have to knock off a star because during installation the plastic guide "arrows" on the sides that keep the glass centered as it drops were too narrow to let the glass drop fully onto the phone.This can kind of be a heart stopper when there's already liquid adhesive on the phone.So if you're going to buy, do a literal dry run and make sure the glass drops onto the phone before opening the glue.The instruction videos are very helpful.
