InvisibleShield Glass for Pixel XL | |||||||||||

Zagg is a pioneer when it comes to screen protectors. Being one of the first years ago to offer durable and safe protection for our phones. And they continue to do so in 2016. This is an InvisibleShield Glass screen protector made of hardened, re-inforced and strengthened glass just like what comes on the phone. From the company behind Zagg. It's extremely resistant to scratches and damage just like the stock Gorilla Glass on the Pizel, and will act as a second layer of protection. If for whatever reason it gets a scratch, chip or crack, remove it and the phone is as good as new. Zagg is one of a few brands we always turn to for screen protection. Reviews suggest it doesn't cover the entire screen, which is by design as the glass has a slight curve on the edges. This is to prevent the "halo" effect many see on iPhones. It also makes the screen protector case friendly so it doesn't get pulled up and wasted. Keep that in mind before ordering. | |||||||||||

I got the Zagg one because of your review. It’s absolute JUNK. Fitted as per instructions but the edges lift off and attract dirk. It’s JUNK JUNK JUNK

I completely agree! I purchased the Zagg product as well, and it’s probably one of the worst products I’ve purchased in the last 5 years.
It doesn’t fit the display completely, leaving–not the screen–but the DISPLAY exposed on one side or the other. In addition, mine is also bubbling up and peeling off.

You didn’t even try to check your facts, did you? This article is based on advertisements… :-( I’m looking for a glass screen protector which covers the whole screen, but if I look up reviews of the ZAGG one you recommend for example, I only get bad reviews which state it doesn’t even cover the visible screen. One review on the ZAGG site itself states ZAGG support said they’re working on a new version…

Poor review of the Zagg, luckily I got a refund. Too small even for displayable portion of screen. I will never read your reviews again!

I’m real surprise you have ZAGG as #1, it has received nothing but bad reviews. Mostly for not fitting properly. Second you say you can get it at Verizon for $39.99 which is overpriced. I searched and found you can get it at Wal-Mart for $17.99. Bad information.

Apparently another review site that equates money spent on advertising, with actually having a quality product. Zagg invisashit is trash. I replaced mine after a month from mysterious cracks that appear while pocketed. Watching more closely the second time, I began to see stress fractures that evolved into cracks in DAYS. They say the screen protector is made from the same Gorilla Glass as the Pixel? I’m afraid I have to call bullshit on that, as my screen is perfect, but I have a new or extended crack in my screen protector almost daily. Clearly the screen protector doesn’t match the flexibility of the phone. In their defense though, I’ll say I’ve never seen damage from dropping, or scratches. I’ve also not had any of the air bubbles that other reviewers have seen, unless you count the edge of the FLAT screen protector not gluing down around the sides of the CURVED phone screen (is there an engineer in the house?) resulting in an additional eighth inch of screen lost to distortion. The end result is a wavy effect like I superglued the protector down at home (and in the dark maybe), instead of paying triple what the product was worth so the Verizon store would put it on to save me the hassle, as I did both times. Clearly neither Zagg, nor this site, have strong feelings about putting out a quality product.

I don’t recommend the Incipio Plex Plus Flex – I have had it for about a month and I have already scratched the surface. I tend to take very good care of my phones (I had an Iphone6 with a Moshi protector that survived for 1.5 years with no scratches).
Also while its not the best protector from a usage feel, again I don’t see the value,.
So to have to pay a premium for this product, I don’t see where the value is so I would turn it down.
