Google announced the Pixel 9 series and opened the phones for pre-order on August 13, 2024. You can officially buy them on August 22, 2024, with the Pixel 9 priced at $799. Even though the brand describes them as having twice the durability of their predecessor, you still want to get a good screen protector to avoid unnecessary repairs and expenses. Plus, a screen protector maintains your display’s clarity and touch sensitivity. If you want the best one for your Pixel 9 phone, here are some options.
amFilm screen protector
$9.99
The amFilm screen protector uses ultra-tough 9H tempered glass that defends your screen against scratches and impacts. It’s designed to work seamlessly with ultrasonic fingerprint sensors, so your unlocking process shouldn’t give you a headache. It also comes as a pack of three protectors that gives you replacements or extras to share with loved ones.
Ferilinso privacy screen protector
$9.99
The privacy feature on this case means no one can easily peek at your screen from the side. It has a 25° privacy angle that makes the screen look black to anyone not directly in front of it. It also has 9H+ hard, which is stronger than most cases offer, especially on this list. It also matches most phone cases and provides ultra-high definition clarity that doesn’t mess with the screen’s brightness or touch sensitivity. But you’ll need to re-record your fingerprints after installing it to make sure the fingerprint unlock still works well.

Natbok full coverage screen protector
$7.99
There are two screen protectors and two camera lens protectors in this bundle, and each one has 9H hardness. If you accidentally drop your phone on the pavement or somewhere else, the screen protector can keep the screen from shattering. Plus, it’s really easy to install with no bubbles, and it keeps fingerprints off your screen. If you end up hating the product, you’ll get replacements or refunds, and even lifetime maintenance.
ivoler tempered glass protector
$8.99
One unique thing about the ivoler case is that it comes with an installation frame. The frame should simplify the application process, so that you don’t end up with a misaligned screen protector — or worse, have trapped bubbles. You’ll also get cleaning wipes and dust removal stickers.
AACL 4-Pack screen protector
$9.98
The AACL screen protectors are made with 7H hardness PET hybrid film, not tempered glass. It’s not as strong, but it will get those pesky scratches away for a while. It supports fingerprint unlocking, and doesn’t cover your entire screen. So, it’ll leave enough space around the phone edges to match any phone case. Get it if you’re not looking to spend much, and don’t want the extra weight of a glass protector.
IQShield matte screen protector
$9.95
I’ll admit I’m a bit biased with this case because it’s a matte-finish products. But there’s a huge benefit here, which is reduced glare. It’s a pretty big deal if you’re out in the sun frequently and want your screen to remain visible even in bright light. If you also have grubby hands, you’ll find that your prints won’t catch easily on the glass.
Find the perfect screen protector and case combo
There are dozens of screen protectors online, and no one-size-fits-all design. You can’t use a Pixel 8a screen protector for your Pixel 9, nor can you use a Pixel 9 Pro or 9 Pro XL screen guard for the best protection because of the size differences. This guide should narrow down your options and make your decision easier. But don’t stop there. Buy a strong case to match. Your screen may be protected, but your phone’s rear side remains exposed. That means unexpected accidents can leave unwanted impressions and ruin your phone’s appearance.
