The display on the Pixel 4a is the biggest upgrade from its predecessor. The bezels at the top and bottom are so much smaller that we can have a bigger screen in a smaller profile, but this also means that even a tiny crack at the top or bottom could impact the usable portion of the screen. We’ve done the research the round up the best Google Pixel 4a screen protectors you can buy!
Easy to apply
Supershieldz Tempered Glass (2-Pack)
Staff pick
Supershieldz has my confidence because not only is its book-style application process easy enough for my mother to do by herself, but it has also stood up to rocks, ladders, and drops without damaging the screen underneath.
$7 at Amazon
Smudge resistant
WRJ Anti-Fingerprint Tempered Glass (3-Pack)
If you’re exceedingly hard on your phone — or if you’re just a klutz — you might want to invest in a multi-pack so that you have spares when the first or second protector here cracks keeping your Pixel 4a safe.
$8 at Amazon
Frame installation
OMOTON Tempered Glass (4-pack)
This multi-pack comes with a frame that you slide over your Pixel 4a so that you have less chance of misaligning the glass. That’s extra important here considering the cutout for the hole-punch camera.
$9 at Amazon
Cleaner look
AVIDET
The screen protectors from AVIDET have a black border around its edge, simulating the look and feel of the original glass. It offers a more natural look, but it also requires you to be precise with your positioning.
$7 at Amazon
Slim and slick
kwmobile Crystal Clear Display Films (3-Pack)
Glass screen protectors offer more robust coverage, but some folks don’t like how they can interfere with responsiveness. If you’re one of them, these flexible film protectors offer scratch protection without the bulk.
$8 at Amazon
Value pick
Supershieldz Clear Shield (6-Pack)
This pack could protect a whole family’s worth of Pixel 4a’s, or if you’re like me and tend to swap cases daily, this will allow you to easily replace your film when some unruly case (or fall) peels up the edges.

What are the best Pixel 4a screen protectors?
Screen protectors come in two flavors: we have the thicker, sturdier tempered glass screen protectors, and we have thinner, flexible, and more adaptable film protectors. For phones with curved screens, film screen protectors offer a more fitting grip, but for a phone with a flat screen like the Pixel 4a, we don’t have to worry about such things, so unless you just have a personal grudge against tempered glass, I’d recommend grabbing the Supershieldz Tempered Glass Screen Protector 2-pack. The style Supershieldz uses for applying its glass screen protectors is easy to follow, and its films have stood the test of time.
There aren’t too many name-brand screen protectors out for the Pixel 4a yet, but give it time. There should be more options before too long. And if you need to protect the back and sides of the phone, we’ve rounded up the best Google Pixel 4a cases, too!
