Hi everyone, I’m wondering if anyone knows for sure whether or not the Pixel is going to have curved edges like the Galaxy S7?

If you're talking about the screen, the edges of the screen are curved.

Are you sure? It looks pretty flat from really looking at it...
It definitely has a curved edge. However, none of us know yet, whether the curve starts close enough to the edge to allow tempered glass screen protectors to fit without issues, or not. We will know shortly.
its suppose to be curved similar to how the iphone and note 4 are i believe.
Looks like it's going to have curved edges. Look at the images on this screen protector page. Looks like they are making it so that there's no halo effect.

yeah, a number of the TG descriptions say the same thing. I'm fine with that, hate the halo.
This is one of those things I dislike about a lot of new phones. The slight curve at the edge looks nice, but makes screen protectors more difficult to deal with.
I'd much prefer a perfectly flat screen so that I can get a nice glass screen protector that covers the entire face of the phone. This is why I keep falling back to the Spigen plastic film screen protectors on my Nexus 6, they cover as far out on the edges as possible. I just replace them as they get scratched.
I've got a Orzly pro fit protector on the way and it says the edges are curved on it to fit the screen perfectly

Does it say when the protector is estimated to arrive? I just ordered the Orzly protector this morning and I'm really hoping it will magically get here before the phone does, even though shipping estimate for the protector is Nov 14 - 28.

The purpose isn't even to look nice with a screen protector (which are useless anyway -- won't stop you from cracking the screen, since it will crack right through a screen protector). The purpose of curved edges is to EXPOSE the screen to drop damage, since the screen now sticks out beyond the frame instead of being tucked slightly into the frame.
This is what they do in order to maintain sales volumes when they realize that phone technology is so good now that you are likely to keep the same phone for several years. Make them break and you have to replace!
I can confirm that the pixel has curved edges and it is slightly less curved compared to the oneplus 3

Good deal. This means the Orzly TG protector with black borders should be a perfect option. I have the Skinomi wet apply protector going on the phone when it arrives tomorrow and it will hold me over until the Orzly protector arrives in November.

Has anyone found any screen protectors, film, PET, glass, etc. that cover the entire screen correctly? I've already ordered a film one that was all misaligned and didn't cover it well.
I hear that Zagg is coming out with one that's pretty awesome. It supposedly wrap around entirely, front to back.
I must be lucky because I never use a screen protector and have never experienced a broken screen, just use a Otterbox commuter.
I'm also looking for one of the self-healing screen protectors that fits... the ones on Amazon have reviews that say it's cut wrong

Don't seem to be sticking at the edges of the protector
I picked up an amFilm glass screen protector -- it's supposed to be full screen coverage.
I think I'll wait on ordering a glass screen protector until someone actually gets one installed and thinks it looks right. I'm wanting an edge to edge one. Even the Amfilm does not mention it's curved or not. Edge to Edge and curved to go to the edges are two different things.

I've found the IQ Shield wet apply to be a decent alternative to tempered glass. Not quite as smooth and clear, but excellent fit and protection.

Second the Skinomi Matte, fits nicely. The Edge display looks a bit different under it, like the skin itself is lighting up not like it's a layer on top of the display. Previously used a tempered glass on my GS5 so this is a big difference. Touch feel of the skin is good. Had to remember how to put on a protector cleanly though, took a couple tries to get it done (but I had budgeted one 'practice' protector to burn).
Haven't noticed a rainbow effect though.
Spigen ones cover the whole screen (not full coverage) and from S6 experiance they are actually slightly wider than the active parts of the screen, unliek most ones I have seen that are exactly the same width as the screen.
Can someone confirm that the front dimesions of S6/S7 are the same? Have some spigen ones left and guessing they will fit exactly the same?

Thats a bit of bad news. I would have expected better from Spigen.
Indeed, i always buy spigen screen/glass protectors but this time they're not very different from others.
Tbh i tried other screen protectors and spigen ones are the best, they don't stick for less than 1mm but it's away from perfect anyway.
I bought some screen protectors off eBay and they leave about 2mm of space on both sides of the display.
I'm fine with the screen protector not covering the entire front panel but it should at least cover up the display. Whoever designed this film must be out of their mind.
Anyone know of an eBay seller that has a screen protector that actually covers the entire display?
EDIT: I know there are threads about this but they're all about the glass protectors. I'm looking for the film protectors.

Its seems to be the one thing thats hardest to get, I thought the S7 Edge would be the one that would be difficult to get screen protection for given the nature of the screen. I dont know whether its the 2.5D glass on the S7, but any review for screen protectors seem to be bad as there are gaps down the sides. I usually get a glass protector straight away but holding off for now until I decide whether I'm going to bother or not. I had considered one of the film covers but might just go for one of the full screen glass ones like the one below, although I really dont want to take away from the looks of the device.

I bought a tempered glass screen protector off eBay that covers the entire edge but leaving a tiny bit of room for a case to go on without lifting the protector. But the downside is you can see the dot matrix in the sun which isn't a major problem for me. I would rather see a good protector that i paid $10 that had dot matrix then see scratches form over time.

Is it the digitizer that you can see when looking at it with bright sunlight?
No. Since the whole protector isn't sticky like the plastic ones usually are. Only the touch screen part of the protector have these little dots that you will see in bright lighting which is to make touch feel normal. Can be quite annoying sometimes but i get over it. Worth the protection to me

Yeah thats a pretty good example of "The Dot Matrix Effect" but luckily for me the protector i have isn't anywhere near as bad as that. And definitely not as noticeable. It only annoys me the tiniest amount. But i rarely see it or notice it that much sometimes.

The middle screen is the display...........
I think you meant it doesn't cover the entire front panel which I'm fine with.
The S7 was a challenge to protect the screen, and it's looking like the S8 is going to be even harder. Based on what I learned during my search for an S7 protector, it looks like we're going to be stuck using either a wet application or a 3D curved glass screen. Does anyone have any experience with either? I know for sure that I'm getting the S8, but I'm not sure which would be the best protection (and best value).
I'll be sure to update this main post if we can come up with something that is effective.
i dont know which one is good , but i know that one called invisible shield just took too much money from us
they are actually stealing from us , so avoid that one
I've had nothing but good experiences with ZAGG InvisibleShield HD Dry. Honestly think it's the best alternative for the edge screen.

same, i think i tried at least $200 in glass protectors, most failed immediately. the rest, not soon after. I've been using the iqshield and armorsuit wet installs on the s7 edges we currently have. Obviously, it doesn't offer much for impact protection, but not a scratch to be found on the screen.
You would think with the gorilla glass being used here that the need for protectors would go down, not up.

All gorilla glass scratches at a 6 mohs scale hardness level, keys and knives won't scratch it but sand/rocks will most likely.
I had the S7 Edge last year, and ended up not getting a screen protector at all, after spending something like $60 on various ones that didn't do a good job. It was stressful, and I am contemplating just doing the same thing this year, if there isn't an "obvious" choice.
I saw a decent looking Zagg glass screen protector on Best Buy's website. Hopefully it works better than the one they put out for the S7E.
im new to the curves. ive had zagg in the past on other devices and loved the products but they are pricey. just pre-ordered yesterday now to do some research on cases and shields. thanks for starting this thread. looking to get any info from s7 edge owners as possible!

I have the S7 Edge and have moderate success with Glass Screen Protectors. One big issue is the case you use. You cannot use big heavy cases - they break the screens - best to use clear rubbery plastic protectors that have very thin sides - they offer decentprotection and look ok.
Spigen has a good curved plastic screen protector that works very well - not glass - but it fits with more cases than the Glass ones do - honestly, I ended up not using a case at all - and getting a clear glass screen protector that I rate a 7 on a ten scall -
When I get my S8 - I think I will find a clear, curved plastic protecor again. Like the one from Spigen or a few other providers - (Bodyglove has one too) More to protect against scratches than anything else.
Glass always has some issues - even the good ones - very little adhesive - tends to lift up slightly when you type at the edges - sometimes giving you a sort of 'clicking sound' - sometimes touch is effected at the edges too - typing the letters or keys to the extreme sides of the phone can be touchy sometimes....
All in all though it is an awesome looking phone...can't wait. Hope the bootloader isn't locked on the International variant - G950F -
screen protectors are a thing of the past imho.. they scratch easily and make you think that it would have happened to your glass
I do see little scratches on my s7 edge, but i cant feel them, and dont see them unless I look hard.
Apparently the curve is much less prominent on the S8 than on the S7 Edge. I wonder if that will help the glass screen protector situation? Went without a protector on my S7 Edge and ended with a cracked screen, don't want to repeat that but can't deal with non glass protection.
That's my concern as well since this will be my first phone, coming from the S6, that's gonna have a curved display. I was planning on buying another Spigen case as it's the main reason why my S6 is still in one piece, haha, but I've heard that the curved glass protectors don't work well with any cases that aren't the really thin TPU ones, so that poses a potential problem.
Should I even bother ordering any remotely heavy-duty case now, despite not being 100% sure if there's gonna be ANY glass screen protectors that will work with this curved display? If there are curved glass screen protectors that will work with heavier duty cases, it'll be very nice to know as I love having a glass screen protector on my S6 and it'd be a shame to have to give that up with the S8.

You see, I generally plan on selling my phones when I get new ones, so, I honestly care about keeping the phone in as pristine condition as possible, to get maximum resale value. The glass screen protector is the only reason why my S6 doesn't have a cracked screen. I don't understand how people can stand using obviously cracked screens... Every time I see that, I'm like WTF?! Like replacing a screen protector is HELLA cheaper than replacing your entire display. I do have a few minor scratches on my current one, but because it's not my ACTUAL display, it doesn't bother me.

Right?! A glass screen protector saved my S6, so I REALLY hope there will be curved glass screen protectors that'll work with any cases that aren't the cheap, thin TPU ones... T.T
The thing is, that the protector cracks much more easily, as well as scratches more easily. Likely, if a hit was hard enough to crack the screen itself, a glass screen protector is not going to help. They are softer than the phone's glass and that is why people swear by them. Youll spend more money replacing screen protectors then you will making the money difference from selling a "mint" class phone vs "good".
Scratches, maybe the screen protector can help with. Cracks? No way. Manufacturers would also recommend them and not persue gorilla glass etc, if it really was that easy.
I think its just another way for the industry to extract more money from people.
I'm thinking about trying this one. Armorsuit
Their case for the S7 Edge got really good reviews ( 4338 Reviews, average 4 stars) and it's cheap enough if it doesn't work well, not a big loss. It's not glass though, but I've never used a glass screen protector, so doesn't matter to me. And, it's supposedly case friendly.
I ordered a case friendly tempered glass screen protector.

Mine is exactly the same with a slight lift along the bottom edge of the screen. The 3T I had briefly was much worse as the lift was top and bottom.
It's the curse of the 2.5D screen and a slightly misaligned or badly sized protector.

No I've not noticed any loss of screen none that I'm aware off as I make sure the screen is lit up when I'm installing it.

Hello,
there is glue just on the black side of the glass or everywhere (even in the middle) ?
Beside when you look at your phone with a white background, is there some oil effect ?

No, there will be not. Okay well if they change adhesive/glue type.
Working thing would need to entire tgsp be adhesive. Or maybe Whitestone style, they have somekind of different glue system which you dry with UV lamp.
But really oil slick comes because glass is just touching screen part thanks to glue on the sides only. So it leaves really small gap between tgsp and glass and if you havent cleaned your screen like some sort un-humam/robot which is really impossible, there will be oil slick.. Maybe not right after you have installed it but soon. Some manufacters (like Orzly) makes "dots" to prevent oil slick. It basically lift really really littlebit tgsp from phone's glass surface so tgsp wouldnt touch screen surface. But then people are crying about visible annoying dots on tgsp.
Thats why Oneplus official tgsp is adhesive from entire glass. But because of OP3/3T/5 style (glass starts bending before screen ends) they needed to cut about 0.4mm from both side with protectors black borders to not produce halo.
So none of methods what different manufacter use, isnt good enough...
Oh i forgot ones without black borders. Either they will end before screen ends or they will cover entire screen but leaves on sides.

They had the matrix dots on the CASEBASE but they don't seem to help the rainbow affect. Whitestone is the way to go I was tempted to get that kit for my s8+ but I found a protector that worked for the s8 even with its big curve.
I'm very surprised there isn't any perfect 1s for oneplus 5. The CASEBASE is close but not quite there. Fitment in it is good.
I think I'll end up with some tpu on it ?

Yeah dots should theoretically help on oil slick and prevent them but it wont delete those entirely and my personal opinion is that it wont help at all.
Orzly's last year model for 3/3T had also dots and oil slick so im not confident that it would be better for this They still have dots, thats what i know for sure

What company the tempered glass is of?
I've been reading all the threads in the forum after I brought my OP 5 yesterday (supposed to arrive to me in the next 2 weeks) and I cant find any solid recommendation.
There aren't any brands making screen protectors to our devices and even less reviews.
-I saw people saying to stay away from the original screen protector made by Oneplus due to the few millimeter lost cause by it.
-I looked on the Orzly screen protector and it looked quiet well but after searching the web I saw multitude negative reviews due lack of adhesiv, dot metrix and rainbows showing up on the screen. but some other who claims the protector is completely fine
In conclusion: In the Glass screen protectors section, there is no good product that will be fine with guarantee ?
If so, there is any other kind of screen protector (not glass one's) such as Skinomi or IQ Shield that are recommended?
I have to order any kind of screen protector as soon as possible before my device will arrive.
thanks for your professional support !
Every single option, glass or TPU, sucks. The best option is the non-glass protector that ships applied to the phone. Baby that one as long as you can.

I would agree with you, when it wouldn't collect more dust than a vacuum cleaner.

Still the best, even covered in 2" of lint lol
As much as the screen protectors suck, the Orzly is stil the best of the bunch. I have it installed with no rainbow effect in the middle. Again, I think this is a case of people who have the issues are the ones you see. It depends on how you install it I guess. I know a few others who have also installed it without the rainbow, but I know people who have installed it and have had the rainbow. At least it is a fully screen protector, that doesnt cut off a millimeter of the screen basically, and at least they aren't a company that blames the user for obvious issues with their TGSP *cough* Oneplus *cough*
Take it from someone who has been through 5+ different screen protectors... About the only one that was semi worth a damn was Orzly. You run into ones that don't fill the entire screen and leave the edges exposed, don't stick, cover the front camera or ones that just flat out don't end up sticking. I wish I didn't end up taking off the one that the OP5 came shipped with but oh well lesson learned. As I said as of right now the only semi decent one is Orzly but even that one I had issues with the glue towards the edges peeling so the screen wouldn't respond because the protector was coming off the screen a little. Still though - Orzly or Manufacturer screen that was originally on the one are your best options at this point.
I really like the IQ branded film protector. I've had no problems with it and I only really notice it when I swipe along the edges and feel the film.

I'm using the clear one. It's definitely not as smooth as glass but it's smooth enough. It's more smooth than a glass screen without a oleophobic coating. Fingerprint residue is minimal. The only case I have is the sandstone one from OnePlus and I have no problems with it.

Using the clear IQ protector here too. So far it's the best I've found. I've used the official TGSP, Orzly TGSP, and a couple other cheaper TGSPs. The wet application film screen protectors are the way to go for this phone it seems. Helps a lot with finger prints and I haven't had any issues with it not being slick enough.
think ill just go nude and use a thick case lol. haven't had any scratches on my s8+ which also has gorilla glass 5.
man do i hate how all phones have curved glass of some sort.
Damn those curves.. Let's hope that maybe in a few weeks we will finally get a proper screen protector.

I went and removed the factory installed protector, it was a bad idea. Now I have small hairline scratches on the bottom right corner. I've now ordered a tempered glass in Amazon to hide the scratches.
The one that came with the phone is fantastic imo. I haven't enjoyed tgsp since my nexus 6p because of the 2.5D curved glass craze, no tgsp fits any phone good anymore. Axon, Samsung (ROFL, you thought OUR screen was bad?) , I haven't looked at the screen protectors for the G6, but the screen doesn't appear to be 2.5d so that's a step in the right direction..
When my stock screen protector gets unusable, I'll buy the 30$ crash guard from rhinosheidl ?????? Just to see if the hype is real...
Unless someone already has photos of it....

Any idea when the crashguard is shipping. I don't wanna drop that type of money without looking at reviews.

No idea whatsoever, my stock screen protector from oneplus is still in fantastic shape, so I don't imagine ordering four a couple more months at least.
The ones for the oneplus 3 are 13 dollars on amazon, and ship with prime in the US.. So I imagine in a few weeks the price will become more better.
I've recently seen this on the taobao site. GOR branded TSP. I've used their flat ones on other phones and am quite satisfied with the performance. They have 2 versions, one with the black border, one with a edge sealant sort of thing. I'm planning to get the sealant version next month since my option to add items for cheap shipping is exhausted for July....
If anyone's in China or has bought one, some feedback would be appreciated.

Its says in the description, "Not edge to edge protection. (NOT FULL COVERAGE)" so there is no false advertising
