Whitestone DOME GLASS [Perfect Full Coverage] Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Google Pixel 3 with UV lamp [1Pack]

This was my first time using a screen protect from Whitestone. In the past I have used several other tempered glass protectors and had a lot of difficulty aligning the speaker/camera cutouts. Not so with this one. The provided assembly aid work perfectly. The installation process could be considered a bit tedious, but the results look great. It of course is critical to make certain the phone is clean with the provided alcohol wipes and drying cloth.Additionally I made certain the provided speaker masking films were placed correctly and adhered to the Pixel’s screen prior to applying the liquid adhesive. Once the UV light cure the adhesive and the edges were cleaned I was really surprised with the results.There is no Halo or screen distortion and had just enough clearance for my case.

I spent about an hour trying to install this screen protector. Twice. And I failed both times.This was my first time trying to install the Dome Glass screen protector. And it will be my last.I wanted a screen protector for my Pixel 3 and after doing some research, this was supposed to be the best. The tempered glass was quality and it was one of the few screen protectors that goes edge-to-edge. Sadly, the installation process ruins all of this.It's over-engineered and the installation process has so many steps that if you fail one, you're screwed. The first time I installed it, I got air bubbles. Unfortunately, they only give you one piece of glass unlike many others which will give you 2 or 3 in case you screw up.So I removed the glass and per the instructions, I cleaned the glass with the provided alcohol wipes and microfiber cloth and tried again with the second stick of glue. This time, the glue did not disperse properly even after waiting some time and after trying to use the slider to disperse the glue, I AGAIN ended up with air bubbles.At this point, I gave up after an hour of time spent on this. I took off the frame to discover the back of my phone was covered with glue. The glue soakers on the side weren't able to soak up enough of the glue. So after all that time and $45 spent, I'm left with a phone smelling strongly of glue and without a screen protector. Would not recommend.Considering how difficult and expensive this process was, you would think they would provide more than one piece of glass or be willing to provide you more glue. But that's not the case. Replacements are only provided if the actual glass protector is damaged. But that's if you're able to get through this ridiculous installation process first.I ordered another company's tempered glass screen protector (3-pack) immediately after this instead. No, it doesn't cover edge-to-edge, but it was over 4 times cheaper, installs in minutes, and you get two extra pieces of glass. A much better value in my opinion, in terms of both time and money.

WhiteStone Dome glass protector never failed me. Really good product. A little expensive. However, it's the most durable and beautiful one. It can fit in almost any cases. No white edges but the glass texture is good.The installation is a little complicated. I suggest seeing installation guide video first, and reading the whole manual several times. However, the result is perfect.

The installation process was very difficult. I watched their video and read the guide twice and still had to have a second go at applying the liquid. Even after that, the liquid didn't spread all the way to the bottom corner, leaving a small edge unglued as you can see in the photo. In addition to this, a bubble formed over night. Other than that, touch performance is unaffected and the added thickness is not bad. Wished it came with two glass panels and more than two bottles of liquid for the price.

Pros:-Best fitting protector that's actually curved-UV cured adhesive ensures edges won't lift up-Glass feels better than film protectors-Fits with my case of choice (Spigen Rugged Armor)Cons:-Written instructions are horrible (knocking off one star)-Written instructions refer to an installation video that does not exist specifically for the Pixel 3, which the install is different than other phones-PriceyI first heard about Whitestone Dome a couple of months ago by chance. Ever since I had my Galaxy S7 I hated how tempered glass protectors didn't curve with the screen. Manufacturers would just stop the glass once the screen curve started. I hated that so went with film protectors. Anyway once I learned there actually was a brand that had curved glass protectors I had to try it!This protector is pricey, it's easily the most I've spent on a protector for any device that I've ever had, but it is a premium protector after all and it uses UV light to cure the adhesive, so it is using premium materials.If you can get past the price, next comes installation, which is (unnecessarily) horrendous. To start the instructions tell you to reference an installation video that DOES NOT exist specifically for the Pixel 3 and after watching a couple of YouTube videos the installation process IS NOT THE SAME as other phones. Take heed future installers the installation process itself is not bad at all, but understanding them from the written instructions alone with make you want to pack it up and ship it back. I personally watched Thao Huynh on YouTube to learn how to install it. She breaks down each step really clearly with video. I was able to install mine perfectly the first time using her video. However since the included installation instructions are horrible, I'm knocking a star off. I'd also like to say, the included cleaning clothes give off a TON of lint, so get your dust stickers ready. Getting all the dust off was a pain in the ass.Now for the best part, once it's installed correctly it certainly does look and fit perfectly. If some adhesive squeezed past the edges you can scrape it off post UV curing so don't worry too much about that. The protector doesn't interfere with the case I have on it right now, Spigen Rugged Armor, which is another plus. I've had mine installed for less than a day, so I'll update this review if anything goes south, otherwise I'm going to enjoy my new protector!Update: 8/13/19:I said I'd update if anything went South, but actually I'm updating just to say my glass protector is going really strong still. It has a couple of light scratches in it so it's doing it's job and it looks and feels great doing it.
