Tempered Glass Screen Protector – Finally, One That Works with the Pixel 9 Pro XL’s Fingerprint Reader!
If you own a Pixel 9 Pro XL, you already know the headache of finding a screen protector that doesn’t mess up the fingerprint reader. I’ve tried several, and with most of them, the sensor just refused to work—no matter what I did.
I tried retraining my fingerprints, adjusting settings, enabling “increased sensitivity”—nothing worked. The phone just wouldn’t unlock.
But this amFilm Tempered Glass Screen Protector? It just works. No frustration, no failed unlock attempts—just clean, smooth performance exactly how it should be.
Let’s break it down:
🔥 What Makes It Stand Out?
✔ Fingerprint Sensor Works Flawlessly – No tricks, no hacks. Just unlock and go.
✔ Easy Installation – Comes with an alignment frame, so even if you’re terrible at screen protectors, you won’t mess this up.
✔ Case-Friendly Fit – Works flawlessly with my case, no annoying edges lifting up.
✔ Smooth & Responsive – No touch lag, no weird rainbow effects—just a clean, natural feel.
✔ Crystal Clear – Looks and feels like the bare screen with zero impact on clarity.

💡 Real-World Use
- Fingerprint Unlock? Works. Unlike the others I tried, this one just works immediately, no re-scanning needed.
- Daily Wear & Tear? Holding Up Great. After weeks of keys, coins, and pocket debris, still no scratches.
- Case Compatibility? No Issues. Fits perfectly with my Spigen and Bellroy cases, with no weird lifting at the edges.
⚡ Installation Tip
✅ Use the alignment frame – it makes installation stupidly easy.
✅ Press down firmly over the fingerprint sensor area for a few seconds to ensure a perfect seal.
💰 Is It Worth It?
💲 For around $10-$15, it’s absolutely worth it.
✔ Fingerprint sensor actually works (huge win)
✔ No bubbles, no weird edges lifting up
✔ Case-friendly, scratch-resistant, and ultra-clear
Other brands cost more and don’t even work with the fingerprint sensor properly.
✅ Pros & Cons
Pros:
✔ The ONLY tempered glass screen protector I’ve found so far that works with the Pixel 9 Pro XL’s fingerprint reader
✔ Smooth, responsive touch with zero lag
✔ Crystal clear, no rainbow effect
✔ Case-friendly fit with no lifting
Cons:
❌ Only comes with two protectors in the pack (would love a 3-pack option)
❌ Like all tempered glass protectors, it can crack if dropped at the wrong angle (but better that the protector breaks as opposed to your screen!)
🎯 Final Verdict
9.5/10 – The only screen protector I’ve tried that works perfectly with the Pixel 9 Pro XL’s fingerprint reader.
If you’re tired of fighting with your fingerprint sensor, just get this one. No hacks, no frustration, no settings changes, no workarounds—it just works.
→ TL;DR: Every other screen protector I tried was NOT compatible with the fingerprint reader. This one? Works perfectly.
