Installation instructions are not clear - might has well have been in Greek. If you don't get it installed perfectly initially you can't easily fix it like you can with tempered glass screen protectors and then the protector is rendered useless.

Hey there, Isaac! So sorry to hear the Clearly Protected Film Screen Protector for your Pixel 6 wasn't quite what you were hoping for. Although that piece may seem thin, we've thoroughly tested and confirmed it meets our DROP+ rating of protection. We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on this screen protector with us though. Please feel free to give our customer service team a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or if you'd like to chat about this some more.
Warm Regards, OtterBox Customer Support

Too Filmsy To Offer Significant Protection

This is a very thin film screen protector and not a tempered glass one. Sadly I did not realize this until after I received it. Instructions to apply it to the phone were confusing and I didn't get mine on perfectly. It seems like it will protect against scratches but I don't think it will provide protection against falls or impacts. The one benefit is the film is so slim you'll barely notice it's there.
I would not recommend this item. Search for a tempered glass screen protector instead.

We're sorry to hear there was some confusion prior to purchase, but you are of course correct that the OtterBox Alpha Flex is not a glass screen protector. But despite its material build and low profile, it really does perform great during our internal drop testing.
We'd love to help get you set up with a brand-new warranty replacement since you mentioned that installation didn't quite go as intended. Just give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll get right on the case!

Not the simple 2 layer screen protector application. Split into 4 layers with 2 additional support "tools". The 4 layers don't split the way they're supposed to as detailed in the instructions, so I had to peel layers myself which introduced new dust and more bubbles.

A lot of manufacturers started out marketing tempered glass screen protectors for the Pixel 6 cameras and quickly realized that the on display optical fingerprint reader was not going to work with tempered glass. I have gone through two protectors and had given up when I discovered that Otterbox had revisited the issue and had come up with this film that works. This is a thin film and required that you read the instructions before you start. If done right, it is almost invisible and from my own experience the phone has no idea there is a layer of plastic between you finger and the screen. It will protect you screen from micro scratches for sure, just dont expect a solid block of glass covering your phone. In summery, works for the pixel 6 fingerprint situation.

This was one of the most difficult screen protector installs I have ever done. While trying to get the air bubbles out of the corners the protector tore. I would not recommend.

Your hesitancy to recommend the OtterBox Clearly Protected Film is certainly understandable given the rough start you've had with the screen protector, and we're sorry that it all went down this way. If you'd be game to give it another go, we'd be more than happy to help get you a fresh start with a brand-new warranty replacement, which we trust will allow for a bubble-free, tear-free experience going forward.

Worst instructions ever. Finally, got it on, but, full of bubbles, and, because, of having to put it on and off, to get it aligned, it now has dirty smudges, and, looks and fulls dirty!

Hello! We apologize for your frustration. The Clearly Protected Film Screen Protector has anti-scratch defense for vivid clarity, trusted protection against scratches, scrapes and scuffs, and is smudge resistant, but it is not a glass screen protector.

Horrible Screen Saver

Item arrived in a timely manner. Easy to put on but looked horrible. There were just to many unsightly bubbles. And, they just would not smooth out I have used other screen savers in the past, and non were this bad. Please save your money. Pulled it off and threw it in the trash. Could not leave it on, on such a beautiful phone as the Pixel 6.

This item was so, so terrible. Purchased it because it was one of the recommended products on the Google site for the Pixel 6 and wanted to make sure fingerprint sensitivity wasn't compromised, but it was honestly just so hard to use. Never had issues in the past with screen protectors from other brands -- but these instructions were just too complicated and despite being really careful, the end result was many, many unsightly air bubbles. Would have helped if there was an extra screen protector to try again after mastering the instructions. Anyway, just gave up and threw it away. Do not recommend.

Another person saying it's entirely unusable

I absolutely love otterbox products and usually recommend them to everyone, have my case before my phone, and completely trust them to protect my expensive phone. This is a crap product and the only good thing I have to say about it is the screen is far more responsive with it than a glass protector. But I have zero faith in it protecting the screen from an impact, and the instructions were just as bad and convoluted as others mentioned. There absolutely needs to be an instructional video and a QR code linking to it included in the box. Mines mostly good after some trial and error, but it's still got bubbles on the lower half. I wouldn't recommend this product at all.

Not as easy as it was stated to put this screen protector on the phone, it did not stick properly after following the direction to a tee. It pealed up when I tried to remove the backing and got stuck to itself rendering it useless. Don't waste your money!
