5.0 out of 5 starsProbably the single best screen protector I've ever purchased
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2022
Let me start by saying that LK lumps all their reviews together from every device protector into the same listing. Why? Probably because it keeps their average higher. But it's lazy and makes it virtually impossible to figure out if this protector is going to work for you.
This review is for the Pixel 7 Pro TPU Film protector. The reason I bought this was because the Pixel 7 Pro has a curved screen, unlike the Pixel 7. So this protector needed to be flexible and durable at the same time.
Installation
Quick and easy. Took less than 2 minutes to do after watching their 5min video. They make it super simple by providing a plastic alignment piece you actually stick into the USB-C port, so there's no annoying frame or stickers that shift and mess up your alignment. Simply install the plastic tool, place the film centered and press down in the middle to tack it onto the device screen.
I must say, I had zero dust or bubbles as the installation basically allows you to wipe out all the imperfections. Take the extra 30-60 seconds to thoroughly clean the device and make sure you use the dust stickers... And don't do it in a high traffic or dusty area.
Fingerprint Reader
Worked without issue on the first try. Didn't have to even redo my prints. Worked on all existing programmed fingers. 'Nuff said.
Feel
It provides you with a more tacky feel than a tempered glass or PVC type protector... It takes some getting used to but I like it more than glass or naked device screen. The tackiness subsides after a day or so of use, but it's still noticeable. Not a deterrent for me at all. You'll also notice initially that oils and fingerprints stick heavily. That also resolves itself after a few hours.
Self Healing
I had no idea how this would work, but today I accidentally put my phone in the same pocket as my work keys. My protector had a few big indentations in it and I was pissed. I totally forgot this was supposed to heal itself. Sure enough, the indentations disappeared and my protector is still crystal clear. Again, I don't pretend to understand it, but it works as advertised which is a win for me.
Durability
Full disclosure, I haven't tested it or dropped my phone to see if it protected the screen from cracking. Hope to never have that happen, but with the 7 Pro being as sturdy as it is already out of the box (used my device naked for 2 weeks and not a ding on it aside from the cosmetic chromed finish on the camera). I care more about the screen and edges...I think this protector will work well if dropped.
Overall a solid film protector. The first I have ever owned, but definitely purchased LK products before and have all been hit or miss. This one - definitely a huge hit for the Pixel 7 Pro. Only minor piece of feedback - the camera protector takes away from the beauty of the chrome bezel - I didn't install it as a result.
