Spigen Tempered Glass Screen Protector [GlasTR EZ FIT] designed for Pixel 9 Pro XL [Case Friendly] - 2 Pack

I think the last time I got tempered glass screen protectors was about 5 years/ 4 phones ago. I'm not prone to dropping phones, and the times I have dropped them, there were never any screen breakages. Plus, they were always a huge production to apply.I got these protectors because it looks like the installation technology has advanced - a LOT - since then. There's a hard plastic frame holding the glass that fits right over the phone. There is some adhesive stuff to remove (first on the part that goes onto the phone, then the part you rub for the backing). There are all kinds of extra accessories: Wet screen wipes, adhesive dust removal stickers, a foam squeegee (my past experience had next to useless hard plastic squegees). I supplied my own latex food handling gloves, just to make the whole experience feel almost surgical in nature (Nurse, sponge) and to keep my fingerprints off of anything (for aesthetics, there were no crimes being committed).I read the instructions for the novelty of it, but the whole system is so intuitive that you really shouldn't need to read them. Everything was completely in line with my expectations of what would need to be done.I'm not sure how (and this has to be completely on me), but despite my careful gloving, wipedown, application, rubbing the back and peeling, and lifting the frame, the first protector had bubbles with minute spots in the middle that the squeegee couldn't get rid of. The second one, I made sure I did the whole thing with a fan blowing gently over the work area. That one installed with no issue.Overall, installation was way, way easier than what I was used to.The main reason I recommend this to any Pixel 9 Pro XL user, whether prone to dropping screens or not, is the oleophobic quality. I've managed to get fingerprints on the glass. But a quick wipe on my sleeve, or my hip, and it's like I've never touched the screen. Prior phones (a couple of them Pixels), it was basically a chore clearing off fingerprints/ finger marks. That alone makes this worth it.I am not willing to drop my phone face down from any height to test its protection. However, for the sake of all of you, I used a sharp edge of a key along the very bottom and very top edges, pressing hard, to see if I could scratch the glass (I won't risk cracking the phone screen, but I'm fully willing to buy another set of screen protectors). The sharp key point skated around with no scratch-making sound. The glass had no scratches.So then, I used a box cutter. I dug the point in, hard, and went from side to side (as though I was opening a package), and a bit up and down (basically moving the point 'sideways' in relation). This time, I heard and felt vibration, as though scratches were being made.Nothing. Nothing to a finger rubbed over the area, nothing when I held the phone up to the light at an angle that would show scratches.As for touch sensitivity, I have never had a problem with it recognizing my thumbprint. Perhaps it's because I followed the often-repeated advice throughout the packaging, and took multiple thumbprints of the same angle (which I always have done anyway). But I added some index finger presses, like 2, and it reads my index finger just fine as well.I honestly don't see any downside to getting this kit. For me at least, the supidly easy to clean screen makes it completely worth it.

These screen protectors come in a two pack, but from the listing it seemed like it was a single protector.So, for half the cost of taking your phone somewhere you get what you need, an incredibly easy experience, and a backup just in case.If you follow the instructions provided step by step this will be the cleanest screen protector you've ever had.There's been no peeling, so the adhesion is great, but not too much to where it damages the original screen.Not to mention it only took me about 5 minutes, and I was overly worried about taking my time.The company provides you with a tool for air bubbles, among other things, but I didn't even have to use it as there were no air bubbles throughout the process.I could not be more happy with this product.I have to give it a 10 out of 10 for durability, my fingerprint works perfectly with no recalibration, it looks amazing, and it works with all of my phone cases no matter the brand.If you're also shopping for a case like I was I highly recommend them for those as well.

I have tried several other "easy application" screen protectors before. Dbrand most often and most recently. This one is better. While the application try is more robust on the Dbrand one, this Spigen applicator seemed to fit better. This one is slightly smaller and thus more visible around the edge of the phone (but covers more than the screen size), but this actually makes it less exposed and less likely for the edge to catch or chip. This Spigen protector allows the fingerprint sensor to function better than others I have e tried. Oliophobic coating is pretty good. Time will tell how durable it is, but so far so good.

I've had this screen protector for about 24 hours now and I have to say I'm disappointed. I've been a big fan of these screen protectors. I've used them in our Tesla, on numerous phones, as well as tablets. But, this is the first phone (Google Pixel 9 Pro XL) that I've had with an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, which is under the screen. I followed the directions, set up new fingerprints after installing the protector, but I find that I'm having to press multiple times to get said fingerprint to be recognized. Now, in fairness to Spigen, Google has not done a great job with this fingerprint sensor. It is slow, often doesn't read your fingerprint, and generally fails to read "dry hand" fingerprints. Let me briefly touch on "dry hand". If you are a person who has a tendency to have dry skin in the winter time or you often have trouble separating pieces of paper because you lack any kind of moisture or tack on your fingertips, you're going to have a bad time with Google's fingerprint sensor. At any rate, this screen protector is not a solution for people with a dry skin condition. After removing the screen, projector, functionality was passable again though still it's Google. They're no Samsung. Thinking about the installation process of the screen protector, it really couldn't be much easier. The template process that they have created is, frankly, genius, barring any kind of imperfection in the glass itself. Itself it is nearly impossible to missinstall these protectors. As I said before, I'm a big fan of this company's product, and I typically recommend them over pretty much any other screen protector. This is not the case for this phone. For this phone, I recommend not using a screen protector at all again because of the issues I've mentioned with the fingerprint sensor itself.

Easy installation, I have a bubble and I made sure the screen was clean and dust free. Looks to be a chip on the underside of the protector. Just contacted customer support, hopefully they will send a replacement.
