The best Google Pixel 8a screen protectors in 2024

i have google pixel 8a six things you need to know screen
Andy Boxall / Digital Trends

The Google Pixel 8a is Google's latest smartphone. While it's not a match for Google's flagship phones, the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, it's not meant to be. The Pixel 8a is a midrange powerhouse with the Tensor G3 processor, a showstopping camera, and the advanced smarts of Google's Gemini Nano AI model.

But none of that matters if you can't see it. The display is a vital part of any smartphone, and the Pixel 8a's 6.1-inch OLED panel is a beauty. It has a 120Hz refresh rate and a high brightness, making it comparable to some of the best phones in the midrange market. However, all that tech should be protected. Here are the best Google Pixel 8a screen protectors to keep your phone's screen safe from scratches, dirt, and smudges.

JETech Tempered Glass Screen Protector with Installation Tool — Triple Pack

Pros
  • Strong tempered glass
  • Installation tool
  • Great price
Cons
  • Lacks special features

One of the best ways to protect glass is simply to slap another pane of glass over the top of it, and that's exactly what JETech's tempered glass screen protector is. The tempered glass has been tested up to 9H on the hardness scale, meaning it'll resist scratches from just about anything you're likely to have in your pocket, while the oleophobic coating stops oil from your fingers and water from smearing its surface.

An installation tool makes attaching it to your Pixel 8a a breeze, and the triple pack means you're also getting excellent value for money. The downside? There's nothing particularly special here; it's just a good glass protector, so if you want something with a little more pizazz, read on.

Caseology

Caseology Snap Fit for Google Pixel 8a

Pros
  • All-in-one solution
  • Backed by a trustworthy company
  • Helpful installation kit
Cons
  • A little pricier than others

The Snap Fit from Caseology includes two glass screen protectors and two lens protectors, as well as an alignment tray, a microfiber cloth, cleaning wipes, and dust removal stickers. The Snap Fit tray makes it quick and easy to apply the camera lens protector and screen protector, providing premium protection while maintaining your phone’s natural feel. You'll pay a bit more for this one, but this is easily one of the most robust Pixel 8a screen protector options you can buy.

Skinomi Film Screen Protector — Twin Pack

Pros
  • Thin film
  • Self-healing properties
  • Good price
Cons
  • Not as protective as glass

You might assume film doesn't have a place in a world where tempered glass exists, but you'd be wrong. Film isn't as protective as glass, and indeed, that's the primary reason to avoid it. However, there are a number of reasons to get a film protector anyway.

Firstl, it's much thinner than tempered glass and sits much closer to the screen. Second, film protectors are much easier to remove and swap out, making them a strong choice for those who want to change out their protectors often. The self-healing properties mean small scratches are closed up automatically, and the good price means this double pack isn't going to leave a hole in your wallet.

Natbok

Natbok 2+2 Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Pros
  • Strong tempered glass protector
  • Separate protector for the camera lenses
  • Twin pack
Cons
  • Camera protector could impact image quality

The display isn't the only important bit of glass on a smartphone, and Pixel phones are very well-known for their incredible camera quality. While not as vulnerable as the glass on the front of the phone, the glass covering the camera lenses is just as liable to break, so if you're investing in a screen protector, you might as well protect both.

Natbok's tempered glass protector also comes with a smaller protector you can place over the camera module, lending it the same strong protection. It has the value of a twin pack as well, but keep in mind that while the protector is crystal clear, it's possible it could still have some negative impact on the quality of your snaps.

Anbzsign Privacy Glass Screen Protector

Pros
  • Tempered glass protection
  • Privacy filter
  • Optional camera protection
Cons
  • Can limit viewing angles

Our phones are more than just ways to make calls now -- they contain our entire lives. So, you can be forgiven if you'd rather keep your life private. This Pixel 8a screen protector is a great choice if you want to stop people from glancing over your shoulder while you're out public as it contains a privacy filter that cuts off vision from certain angles. Viewed straight on, you can see everything, but vision fades away as the phone is angled, meaning it's much harder for someone to sneak a glance at your bank details or sensitive documents.

Of course, this benefit is a double-edged sword. It can make showing people videos or photos a bit more difficult, as they'll need to be at just the right angle, and it also impacts the brightness of your display. But even with that in mind, there's no better way to ensure your screen protector protects more than just your physical display.

Supershieldz High Definition Film Protectors — Triple Pack

Pros
  • Thin film
  • Decent protective qualities
  • Excellent value
Cons
  • Lacks stronger protection

It's great to have the strongest or the most feature-rich options available, but value has a, well, value all its own. If all you want is protection on a budget, then look no further tha the SuperShieldz triple pack of film protectors at a super-low price. It won't offer the same protection as tempered glass, but it will protect against more minor hazards like scratches, dirt, and grime.

The film will be thinner and less obvious than glass, and the fact it's a triple pack means you don't have to worry about buying a new one when they become dirty or damaged. It's great option if you want to spend as little as possible to keep your Pixel 8a display clean.
