ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass Elite Google Pixel 8 Pro Screen Protector - 5X Stronger with Reinforced Edges, Scratch & Smudge-Resistant Surface, Easy to Install

I wanted to find a screen protector for my new Pixel 8 that wouldn't mess up the fingerprint sensor, so went with this one. So far so good! Fingerprint sensor works just fine with it on; I haven't even needed to turn on the setting to make the phone extra-sensitive for screen protectors.Application was super easy. Being an idiot, I installed it upside-down with the camera cut-out at the bottom, but I was able to peel it up carefully and reapply it correctly without an issue. Even after having to put it on twice, it went on smooth as butter both times with no real issue. It didn't come with any kind of cloth or card to smooth out bubbles, but to be fair, there weren't hardly any -- far less than prior past screen protectors, and I just wrapped a screen cleaning cloth in some index cards to push out the few that were there after it attached.I don't really like the cut-out for the camera -- it catches the light oddly and doesn't look quite as nice as it otherwise would there was no cut-out -- but it's probably that way for good reason, and I'll probably get used to it. That is my only very minor quibble with this whole thing.

TL;DR - The Screen Protector came with little adhesive for it to stick to my phone as it was always following my movements when clearing bubbles. Plus no squeegee.I was looking forward to this because the phone was definitely not cheap. It didn't even come with a squeegee, tf. I placed my phone on the alignment tray which I liked since it came with 2 prongs (top and bottom) to help align the screen protector.Used the cleaning pad, dried it with the cloth, used the sticker to pick up fine particles. So far so good. Instructions said to peel off the first tab, which I did and in doing so it slightly peeled off the other tab around the edges in which it was covering the whole other side of "Tab 1". No biggie.Now, where "Tab 1" was is the face down (the side that's going to stick to the phone) and the opposite side is the other tab covering the entirety of that face up side. I place the Screen Protector [SC] down on my phone with the alignment tray. Perfectly aligned!!! Instruction video said to press down from left to right that way the middle of the SC would stick and from that middle point to press upwards and downwards to completely stick.It barely stuck to my phone when I tried the left to right movement. I pressed harder and it just followed my movement. I cleaned my phone some more and tried again and it just wouldn't stick enough. It just barely stuck to my phone. I had it aligned again and this time I left it alone for about 10 minutes to see if maybe that would work. It had some bubbles this time so I thought it did work. As I went to clear the SC of all bubbles the SC was somewhat firmly stuck to my Phone because it slightly moved with my movements. I had one cloth on one end to hold while the other would clear the bubbles and the SC only moved on the side where I was moving to clear the bubbles.With my index finger and thumb I touch both sides of the SC and there's barely any adhesive or whatever on the face down side that was supposed to stick to my phone. This SC came with little adhesive for it to work and it infuriated me.

I have used ZAGG screen protectors for a while. With each phone model I get, they keep getting easier and easier to install dust and bubble free. This one was no exception.With the fingerprint reader in the middle of the screen, many protectors tend to cause malfunctions--even others that were Google-approved like this one is. The ZAGG, however, has been able to read fingerprints that were programmed prior to installing it, like it was a bare screen. I haven't come across any others that do this. When I read about so many people having problems with speed of fingerprint reading, it was a non-issue for me and my family--we had ZAGG. Since they have a lifetime warrantee, replacement screens are available for low cost. With other brands, unless you have an iPhone, they have already moved on to other phone models so screen protectors that fit my older phone are as scarce as hen's teeth!I typically get 2 years out of a ZAGG, 5 months non-ZAGG. Yes, the price is initially high, but the quality is unmatched.

Update: the day after installing, any screen bubbles went away on their own. I've had that happen with other Zagg screen protectors on past phones. Product now looks and feels beautiful on the phone.Very nice product that feels nice and smooth to the touch. The Zagg website demonstrates how to install the product however, they use a squeegee to smooth out the bubbles. This version DOES NOT COME WITH A SQUEEGEE.I have a couple of bubbles. Fortunately, they're only seen when the phone screen is off and dark. While using the phone, because it is backlit, the bubbles are not seen and don't drive you nuts.

I have now gone through 3 of these screen protectors. Every time the same situation. I look at my screen and randomly find the screen protector is shattered at one of the edges for seemingly no reason at all. I haven't dropped my phone or abused it in any way. It hasn't been in any unusual situations. One moment it's fine and an hour later I have a random edge shattered.I've tried very hard to try and figure out a reason - but even in the situations I can think of - like maybe I had my keys in the same pocket as my phone for a moment? - I can't imagine why its always shattering. After three times I'm done. This screen protector is very expensive. I can't justify spending $50+ on something that can't last more than a couple of months.I would avoid this product.
