Supershieldz (3 Pack Designed for Google Pixel 5a 5G Tempered Glass Screen Protector, Anti Scratch, Bubble Free

This is not a long term review. Just initial first day install. I was going to give it 4 stars but because the price is so low, I raised it to 5. Kit comes with 3 screens and 3 FULL sets of cleaning alcohol wipes, microfiber cloths and install stickers/dust pickers. The short coming that almost gave it a 4 star was the fact even though the top part of the screen protector is curved, the curved part does not go all the way flush to the phone screen...see photo. This could be an issue if it gets caught on something or might collect grime in the future. I have a case installed so the raised edge will not be an issue...but maybe for grime collecting there in the future. My old phone had an expensive Zagg Invisible Shield, 8 years old and still going-phone and Zagg screen protector. The Zagg's top curve is more closer/flush to the phone screen. Install went very well, nailed it first time using the kit. Be sure to get it right in the middle as the phones screen curves around all the edges. This is why the screen protector is a bit smaller than the phone screen. Screen protector cannot be on the phone's screen curved part or it will not lay flat. Should it seem that a part of the screen protector, right at an area of the edge, is not seated all the way, just keep holding it down for a while longer and it will adhere 100% around the perimeter. There is plenty of room for a case. The cutout for the front camera does not affect the camera viewing, but as you see in a photo it will be a bit harder to clean the lens in that spot. I see no screen quality degradation with the Supershieldz installed compared to our other pixel 5a 5g that I have yet to put the screen protector on. In other words, live side by side comparison with screen protector and without. When the phones screen is maxed out with an image/app (100% screen fill) you can notice the screen protector is there on the long sides at an angle of 30 degrees or more, but that is not and issue at all...who looks at the phone other than straight on. I picked the Otterbox commuter for a case as it has the best protection and was not any bigger than the other ones I tried but the Tudia Dualshield came in a super close second. I just liked the built in port protectors on the Otterbox even though it is ugly as hell. The Crave Dual Guard came in close 3rd. All have great button action. If an issue comes up in the near future I will update this review, but if it goes without an issue for longer than 6 months to year+ I will not bother....what does one expect for 3ish dollars per protector.

Be prepared to waste one of these at least as you try to apply them. It's the same with every brand I've tried and in fact these ones are a bit better, but you will inevitably get a couple pieces of dust under the first attempt and want to restart. I tell you this now so you don't get too frustrated. Now, that being said, both my wife and my mother have used these , and when they dropped their phones in a manner reminiscent of Wiley Coyote's ill-timed anvil drops, the covers cracked apart but the phones were just fine. And this is what should happen. The force entered the cover and was dispersed when it cracked the cover. But not your phone. Which is exactly why you should have this. Because I assume you don't live in zero gravity and that you have not epoxied your phone to the wall.

This is a nice set for a reasonable price. 3 full sets of screen protector + cloth + alignment stickers + alcohol wipes. The dust removal stickers (I just use the alignment stickers) works well to pull out tiny flecks after you let the screen protector adhere and see the flaws. You can gently lift the edge of the screen protector and carefully slide the sticker in to remove dust trapped underneath. The adhesive can handle a few lifts and resticks no problem. I have a perfect install. The edges of the protector leave no bubbles and leaves room for my Caseology phone case to wrap around. The only problem is that I cannot use touchscreen-capable gloves with the screen protector on, which I haven't had an issue with previous phones. This is the 2nd brand of screen protector I've tried for the Pixel 5a, and both are really difficult to use with gloves, so maybe it's the phone's fault.

Comes with 3 screens, got it on the first try this time, no dust under it. Fit perfectly, looks quality, touch was not affected, super easy to install.

You'll see all kinds of screen protectors available on the internet to protect your phone. You've already taken the correct step, which is NOT to purchase one at the carrier store. There, you can get a single glass protector with the same spec for hardness for a price that is about ELEVEN TIMES what the Supershieldz costs on a per protector basis - and that's during the carrier store's "limited time" discount pricing. Buying three at a time is a good idea. In my case, my spouse's identical phone received the second one, and we have a third protector on hand in case one breaks in a drop. Another reason to buy more than one is simply to have a spare in case you somehow manage to damage one on your first install attempt. That's not likely if you follow instructions and take your time. The three protectors arrived in a plastic case that suffered two large cracks in shipping. But everything inside was in good shape. Supershieldz provides everything you need, with one alcohol wipe, one cloth, three alignment stickers, and one dust removal sticker for EACH of the three protectors. Each protector is in its own protective foam bag. I do recommend that you scan the QR code and watch the installation video, since it covers important steps that are not in the brief instructions included in the box. In particular, I recommend using the alignment stickers to insure a perfect fit. Take your time, and make sure the phone is both clean and free from ANY spec of dust. I added an additional step of shining a flashlight across the surface of the phone. This helped highlight one or two specs of dust that I missed. On one of the two phones, I had a problem with a 3/8-inch diameter bubble near the edge of the protector, which refused to be pressed out with a cloth or even a credit card. I was able to lift a corner of the protector up until I reached the bubble. When I let it go, the protector adhered perfectly without the bubble. The protector is slightly smaller than the screen it covers, but there are two reasons for that. The first is that the screen of the Pixel 5A, and other phones like it, has a curved edge. The protector is perfectly flat, so it must be sized to avoid the curve. If it extended beyond the curved edge, it would likely gather dust, and it might be able to catch on something that might lift or even damage the protector. The second reason for the slightly small size is that some phone cases wrap around the phone far enough so that they would interfere with the protector and potentially spoil the fit of the case on the phone. For the Pixel 5A using Google's stock case, I was left with a 1 mm. gap between the protector and the case. I don't have a problem with the appearance. The protector is sized so that it just clears the ear speaker, which is important. I used the front camera hole as my guide to an accurate install, and made sure the camera was exactly centered in the protector hole. The Pixel 5A protector adds about 0.4 oz. to the phone. Yours may be a little different depending on its size. The protector feel is very smooth, and I did not need to use the phone's special setting which is intended to improve performance with screen protectors. The phone feels and operates as it did before the protector was installed. I'm completely satisfied with this purchase. Recommended.
