What colour Pixel 8 Pro did you get? Purchase Spigen Screen Protector Here - geni.us/21R0M
Spigen is smart, they made the edges black because I can guarantee you that those black edges on the screen protector don’t stick properly. The screen of the pro 8 still has a slight curve. The only screen that’s flat out of the flagship phones are iPhones. Having black edges on the pixel pro screen protector, makes you think that it’s fully adhered to the screen which in fact it isn’t.
Brilliant and concise
Thank you much appreciated👍
bought this screen protector for my 8 pro. used whitestone dome glass on previous phones but thought id try this. Its a nice screen protector. the black sides are a bit annoying but get used to it. Only issue is when i put the rugged armor case on it the two sizes kept lifting off the glass. so i had to put some paper in the corners of the case to stop it from being too tight against the phone.
A few people had this issue with the rugged case
Thanks Luke, your review was extremely helpful as I am looking for a screen protector for my P8P.
Glad I could help! Appreciate you watching. What colour Pixel 8 Pro did you choose?
@@LukeTechReviews been using pixel phones for 4 years and counting. Each year, I convince myself to opt for a different color and eventually order black ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Haha I’m usually the same but actually tried the white with the 7 Pro so took a chance with Porcelain this year which is nice. Black looks really good this year though 👍
Im ordering theses and the camera as the second round of ordering screen protector is better but still to much gap around the edges and won't fully stick down but it will do until Dec lol
Fair enough 😂
The black borders are a deal breaker for me. What were they thinking?
Yeah seems a lot of people are put off by it.
The screen is not flat, the black borders are there to hide the halo effect which is very horrible...
@@robertadincalevis464 I have the non-pro Pixel 8 and the screen is flat.
Nice video, thanks. Please make a video with a selection of cases with this porcelain pixel
Couple of videos up on the channel 👍
There’s a black border round the 7a screen itself. If the screen protector’s are on that or others, that’s okay. Wrap is more important for the Spigen design. - My priority: Does the protector interfere with finger unlocking?
Not in my experience the finger print is unaffected 👍
Ich habe kein Problem damit das dass Glas einen schwarzen Rand hat, was mich sehr stört ist dass es einen Rand mit Luft gibt, und ich denke dass sollte der schwarze Rand auch verdecken.
Yeah bit of strange design choice!
does this have a cutout for selfie cam?
It doesn’t no
I've been hearing people on Reddit mention that these Spigen protectors on the 8 Pro cut off 0.5-1mm of screen at the edges. Did you notice anything like this?
I did. First off, the alignment tool must have been warped or something because I used both screen protectors and they both ended up slightly crooked. There is a black border around the edge of the screen protector and that blocks off a good millimeter or more of the screen. I put a caseology case on my phone and the edges of the case came in contact with the screen protector causing it to lift up and bubble. Not impressed at all. I hope I can find a decent screen protector/case combo that works as they should. I just bought a whitestone dome screen protector. Hopefully that will fit better...
@@scottdexter87 What case did you use?
@@bananaman7433 Caseology Nano Pop.
True, the black boarder is soo annoying, it covers half the scrolling bar
I can confirm that these are terrible screen protectors. It covers a big part of the screen and it also doesn't even fit on the tray right
Waiting for the same porcelaine colour with clear case 😊
Nice great choice👌 - thanks for watching!
For people curious as to why there are black borders, it’s the only way to have a seamless look for these flat screens that are very slightly curved near the edge. If you try applying a screen protector without the black borders and you wanted to cover most of the screen, there’s gonna be a bit of adhesive that won’t stick on the edges and it’ll show a bunch of light which will accumulate dust overtime. This is the next best alternative, there is no perfect screen protector for these types of screens.
Nice explanation 👍 Thanks for watching!
I purchased one just like this for my pixel 8. While quality appeared good I have to say it was one of the worst screen protectors I have purchased in years. No matter what I did an edge would continue to allow air to seek underneath. So aggrevating. I went thru both protectors and neither held. I also had purchased the camera protection screen and that was even worse. There was a tab to pull to remove the protective covering. The first one tore off leaving paper component still and no matter how I tried to remove I was unable. Threw that one away and said well I have at least a second one. I applied, pulled the tab and the same thing happened but this time no paper just a winkled mess. Tried removing with fingers put unsuccessful. What a total waste of money. I went on Amazon, found an off brand for a 1/3 of the cost and had no issues applying. Spingen if you are going to sell such a high priced item should have better quality control.
Yeah seems most people don’t like this one from Spigen this year! Thanks for watching the video though 👍
I like watching your videos,and I have the Google pixel 8 pro in bay blue 256 GB
Thank you much appreciated 🙏 Nice choice with the colour too!
My protector has a crack after one day of use.
People, of course this dude isn't going to agree with your complaints. He's getting kickbacks from his description link. Please don't blindly trust these "tech" channels and do research into everything.
Thanks for watching the video 👍
Worst protector imho, the black edges gets over the normal display...
All good for me!
@@LukeTechReviewsyou can even see on your own phone there that the screen protector is covering the screen itself. When the camera is looking for your face you can see part of the halo is blocked
@Danny1024DM I honestly have no issues with the screen protector -Fine for me 🤷♂️
@@Danny1024DMsame here the protector installs fine and looks great but the protector is too small for the 8pro the protectors Black borders cover the phone screen making it a bit smaller but it is noticeable. Spigen used to be good to with this protectors. White stone is too pricey even with that warranty. They don't last me long. If you know a better option let me know. Thanks
Yep u are right it covers part of the screen
