Best Google Pixel 3 XL Screen Protectors
These are the best Pixel 3 XL screen protectors worth buying and why you’d want one. With a bigger 6.3-inch edge-to-edge display protection is a very good idea. We’ll explain the different types of protectors and what each one has to offer.
Google’s latest Pixel 3 XL is durable and water-resistant, but it’s not shatter-proof. Plus, the edges have a slight curve, which makes some screen protectors struggle to fit. That’s why you’ll want one we recommend.
There are a few different styles of screen protectors for the Pixel, and knowing which one to buy is important. Whether that’s a cheap film or more expensive tempered glass. We’ve found some priced under $8, and others for $12, and both are cheaper than spending $250 to fix a broken display.
While you can use a cheap $3 HD film or plastic screen protector from big-box retailers or Verizon stores, we recommend a durable tempered glass screen protector for the Pixel 3 XL. They use reinforced glass that’s scratch and shatter resistant. That way your brand new phone won’t get a big scratch or crack the first time you drop it.
If you don’t plan on using a case, we highly recommend a protector. Even if you buy a case, still use one. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Plus, a case won’t protect your phone in a purse, from a pocket full of coins and keys, or against life’s daily hazards. Accidents can and will happen no matter how careful you are.
Before we begin, we want to mention that the curved edges of Google’s screen made a TON of screen protectors not fit right, or peel up and get ruined. Reviews are negative all over the net. So, we dug around for positive reviews and found a few of the best options available so far. Ones that actually work. Quality glass protection from big names like Zagg Invisibleshield, IQ Shield, Supershieldz and more. Once installed, you can enjoy all the neat Pixel 3 XL features without worry.

IQ Shield is one of our favorite brands when it comes to smartphone screen protection, and its new Ballistic glass for the Pixel 3 XL is no exception. This is a single piece of glass, with precise cutouts for the front cameras, speakers, and all the sensors. Then, it has color-matched sides and bezels so it'll barely be visible. Plus, you don't have to get a perfect alignment for it to look good. The protector is ultra-thin too, so it should work great with your favorite Pixel 3 case. This glass has a 9H hardness rating, 99.9% clarity, and the usual features of an oleophobic coating, scratch resistance, and an easy installation tray. | ||||||||
