Screen protectors suck. Cheap bit of plastic over a crafted engineeried screen.

Tempered glass screen protectors are fantastic, if you do suffer the odd scratch, take it off and replace, then it's like having a whole new screen installed

I was going to say, although I don't use them, I think you're buying the wrong ones. Tempered glass are very good if you find one with a good fit.

Does a glass protector exist for the Pixel that covers the whole screen?

If by screen then yes, if by entire front glass then no. However silly and all I thought the idea was originally and how it looked it's actually quite clever. If it went right to the edge no case would fit on the phone that wouldn't in some way interfere with the protector, had that many times in the past. This way the case and protector don't get in each other's way.

Looks daft imo if you don't have a case with the protector though. The slightly curve edges is a bit of a pain as far as the TGSP's go but it does make it feel great to use without one.

Got a link for one that covers the screen then?

Guys anyone got or recommend a bike mount. Really getting back into the cycling at the moment and would like to explore and use the phone more while I do so

I tested a few in the two weeks I played Pokemon Go!

This was interesting and good if you want a light weight one -

But I use this day to day now -

Links to buy are in video description

The spigen glass protector is brilliant, you honestly don't know it's on.

Got a security update last night (5th May date on it). No idea what it's fixed though.

Security issues.

They release patches most months. I got one for my 6P last night too.

@glen8 is it this bad boy?

To me, one of the best things about the Pixel is how responsive it it. Those protectors are known to need additional pressure to use the screen which would be a huge turn off for me.

Yeah that's the one

I might give it a shot... had one on briefly and it was full-on orange peel in places. Been using it with a Nillkin thin shell and a no screen protector since then, and it survived a few weeks in Yankland without issue! Deffo _very_ responsive without one though...

Can you link to where this is explained? I've never noticed it myself.

I read it when researching getting on for mine (I don't remember exactly where now) and also there are many reviews on the amazon page which mention it as a problem.

If your experience is different I may be tempted!

A decent tempered glass one and you should be fine.

i have the above coupled with this case - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01LWMSRA4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Extremely happy with both after six months.
