Tempered glass screen protectors are your best option for protecting your phone's screen from drop damage and general wear and tear. And chances are you will see some wear over time.
Fortunately, there's a number of great options out there for you to choose from. Let's dive in!

Whitestone Dome Glass Tempered Glass Screen Protector
The Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector has quickly become one of the more trusted options for keeping your smartphone display safe. Sure, it's absolutely the most expensive option but it has won over a ton of fans.
Typically sold for $60, you can get one for the Pixel 2 for just $45. Check out this review and installation guide to get an idea of how this tempered glass screen protector uniquely adheres like no other screen protector you've seen before. If the worst case scenario has already occurred and your screen is cracked, think of this as a second chance screen before dropping hundreds of dollars on a proper replacement screen. The packaged UV light required to complete the curing process makes this a bit more of an involved process, but if you spend the time to install it right the first time you should have one of the most reliable screen protectors for your Pixel 2!
Power Support Tempered Glass Film
Next, we'll shift gears and look at the tempered glass accessory Google sells alongside the Pixel 2 on the Google Store. It has a black border at the top and bottom to help with lining it up during installation and also has cutouts around the front-facing speakers. Curved edges ensure a good in-hand feel, and the oleophobic coating will ensure you're not constantly wiping fingerprint and grease smudges off of your screen.
Google is selling this screen protector for a whopping $39.95, but for that money, you can be sure that it's a quality product and designed precisely for your Pixel 2.
IntelliGLASS 3D Tempered Glass Screen Protector
IntelliARMOR is a trusted brand in phone protection, and right now they've got a great deal on their IntelliGLASS 3D screen protectors. Regularly sold for $45, you can get one for just $20.
The IntelliGLASS screen protector is incredibly thin and features the ever-important oleophobic coating to prevent oils and dirt from sticking to your screen. It's a great option that is super thin and lightweight but tough when it counts. IntelliGLASS uses a silicone-based adhesive that makes for an easy installation, and if you have any problem the IntelliARMOR customer service will work to make things right. It's available with a white or black border, or you can opt for the IntelliGLASS HD that's fully transparent and starts shipping the first week of December.
Supershieldz Tempered Glass Screen Protector [2-pack]
If you like screen protectors with a border around the screen (which helps with installation), you should check out this affordable offering from Supershieldz. This two-pack of tempered glass screen protectors includes all the features you'd expect, such as hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings to keep your screen clean.
The kit includes alignment stickers and Supershieldz guarantees a bubble-free installation. If you run into any issues, you can contact Supershieldz customer support as it offers a no-hassle lifetime replacement warranty on its products. Available for just $7.99, this is a premium option at a budget price.
ZeKing Tempered Glass Screen Protector [2-pack]
ZeKing offers a really good option if you don't like leaving the top and bottom edges of your phone exposed. Opting to provide precise cutouts around the front-facing speakers instead, this two-pack of tempered glass screen protectors will offer good protection for the entirety of the display up to the curved edge of the screen glass.
It's a basic kit but includes all the standard features including an oleophobic coating for fingerprints along with alcohol wipes for a clean installation. At just $5.99, you aren't likely to find a better deal on a tempered glass screen protector.
InvisibleShield Glass+ Tempered Glass Screen Protector
Zagg is a trusted name in phone accessories, and especially screen protectors.
The InvisibleShield Glass+ provides ample impact protection for your screen and is designed to withstand shattering itself. If it does, you can count on its limited lifetime warranty in which it'll replace the screen protector if it gets worn or damaged for as long as you own the phone (you only pay shipping and handling costs).
It's also smudge- and scratch-resistant, too, so it will hold up nicely to daily wear and tear — and you wouldn't expect any less from a product that costs $39.99.
amFilm Pixel 2 XL Tempered Glass Screen Protector
One of the few options available for the Pixel 2 XL, this tempered glass screen protector from amFilm should do the trick. It's been specifically designed for the larger model and claims to offer edge-to-edge protection with an improved adhesive gel. The glass has a black trim around the perimeter of the curved corner display, and notches cut out of the top and bottom to accomodate the front-facing speakers.
This is a case-friendly screen protector that features an invisible dot matrix to simulate fingerprint contact most accurately. It also has an olophobic coating to prevent fingerprints which is always important.
There may be cheaper options to come, but for $12.99 you'll get everything you'll need to ensure a clean installation and quality protection for your new phone.
