I applied this screen protector as per the instructions to a mint clean Pixel 4 XL that I had just taken out of the box. I literally took off the factory film and applied this protector. There is a small place in the upper right corner and lower left corner that doesn't stick. Perhaps a little more adhesive on this item and it will be perfect. The areas I mentioned are fortunately not interfering with any of the active display area. Beyond that, this seems to be a solid glass screen protector that is holding up well so far. It hasn't interfered with the touch response at all.
The protector itself is great. However, the problem is it is not wide enough. The width is short by 2 mm on each side. Due to the light from the uncovered width of the screen coming through the thickness of the protector - there is a hugely noticeable rainbow like prismatic effect on both sides. This in my opinion spoils the entire protector, especially during the night. Reaching out to support - ended with them asking me to pay for return shipping and return the product. I am using this on a Pixel 4 XL with no case.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Gapo,
We appreciate your feedback! We’re sorry that this Amplify Screen Protector is not giving you a typical OtterBox experience. Although there may be a slight gap on the sides to allow for some of our cases to be compatible, we are surprised by the rainbow like prismatic effect on both sides.
We truly hope that this one unfortunate experience does not discourage you from considering our products in the future.
The tapered edges keep the protector from snagging on stuff, which is really nice. The application kit that's included makes installation a breeze. The screen protector has yet to pick up any marks whatsoever, and doesn't show much if any smudging. Responsiveness of the screen is still excellent. This, coupled with OtterBox's excellent warranty, makes me extremely satisfied with my purchase.
I now have a super expensive ring around the edge of my phone. Top corners are already showing signs of glue unsticking, as they're like little tabs that sit on each side of notch.
Glass ends right below notch, which means every time you go to pull notifications down from very top of phone you're clicking against the glass edge, as well pulling against the glue once again.
Until they figure out a way to get the glass exactly aligned on your phone screen and for edges to stay down, it's absolutely not worth anything close to what this costs. (They include a tray that rests over your phone to line up the glass with: issue is you have to hold the glass by the edges, not the back, so it's impossible to place the glass down, you have to drop it last little bit. Meaning the only people getting the glass aligned 100% are just getting lucky on the drop.)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very dissatisfied. Purchased Amplify as its a lighter cases than Defender along with the Corning glass screen protector. I have now broken 2 screen protectors while carrying phone in pocket. Both screen protectors broke at the bottom of the screen above the charging port. Amplify design is flawed in that there is not enough protection at this point.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi, Brandon!

Super easy install process and fits on the Pixel 4 XL great. Plenty of room for a case to still fit. Minimal to hardly noticeable fingerprint smudges. Phone has taken a tumbles to the fall screen first and not a chip or scratch on the glass. Corning has been making glass all these years to live up to this moment!
