I use this: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00LKYW6M0/
It works... OK. If you apply it for 3 nights in a row, the oleophobic layer can last for ~3 months - then you have to reapply it.
One thing I noticed, is that sweat absolutely destroys the coating (maybe from salt?). I stopped carrying my phone with display facing my leg, and the coating is lasting for much longer.
Get this one https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Tempered-Protector-designed-Friendly/dp/B08DQT3F3C It's good quality and very easy to install as long as you clean the screen thoroughly. I also recommend a can of air duster to give the screen a little blow after cleaning before installing.
If possible, do it yourself with this:

Mine didn’t scratch. If you don’t like the tool I suppose you don’t have to use it.
I always get the otter box defender cases for my iphones. And this is the screen protector that was recommended to me: Spigen Tempered Glass Screen Protector [Glas.tR EZ Fit] designed for iPhone 12 (2020) / iPhone 12 Pro (2020) [Case Friendly] - 2 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DQT3F3C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_NeEIFbXYE4DZE haven’t used them before so we’ll see
The IMBZBK (based on personal experience confirmed by reports) and Whitestone Dome (based on reports) are two first-rate, curved tempered glass screen protectors for the Pixel 7 Pro. Both use a liquid optical clear adhesive (LOCA) and UV-curing. The main differences appear to be:
1. IMBZBK is $5, or 12.5%, less expensive than Whitestone.
2. Whitestone includes a more useful to some, because clear, rear camera protector. (I myself am not using the IMBZBK rear camera protector.)
3. IMBZBK includes three screen protectors; Whitestone only two. (For people seeking to protect more than one P7P, this can increase dramatically the cost-saving from using IMBZBK.)
4. Installing IMBZBK may be somewhat less prone to user error (based on my watching several YouTube videos; I have no personal experience with Whitestone).
5. Whitestone has a longer track record, which may provide greater confidence when considering spending c. 2.5-4 times more than on most (often less satisfactory) screen protectors.
Exact product i used is below, there was not a shatter risk for the protector. Biggest risk for my install was having the the screen protector stick to its "sheet". Hard to descibe until you review the process. I believe the same happens in the video, I'll post as the next comment.

I've been using this. tedious install but it comes out perfect and you can register the protector for an extra protector from the company. so 3 total for 40$
Here you go in case you want to try it:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RYXF8F6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_W1WCX5X82BAE4ZD8X2Q4
I have received up to 4 free replacements even though they say only two. I know I I am bad with phones. So in the end I received 6 in total for $40. It also comes with two in the pack. Once you go UV you never go back. It looks harder than it is. Just watch sakitecks vids in youtube to see if you feel comfortable doing it. Good Luck.
This AmFilm works fantastic if you follow directions. No problems with fingerprint scanner.
I'm guessing you're not US since the US ultra's didn't seem to come with the screen protector
I've had this case since I got my 2XL about 3 years ago. It's been great. Between this case and a few of these screen protectors, the phone has survived being dropped several times (onto tile / concrete). When I take the phone out of the case, it's in perfect shape and could still pass for brand new.

can’t recommend these more ! so easy to install, you don’t even have to touch the screen protector, no risk of smudging, comes with 2, and fits perfectly
FWIW, looks exactly like this product on Amazon for $13 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075WW69PS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_q0iJAbT19N777
Using one now. Has the dot matrix but doesn't bother me. My biggest complaint is dust/pocket lint has seeped underneath after installation.
Definitely looks like the Oleophobic coating has worn off. You can reapply it yourself if you'd like- about $20 on amazon, will last basically forever. Works on phones too. https://www.amazon.com/Crystal-Armor-Fingerprint-Oleophobic-Coating/dp/B00LKYW6M0
I got mine used and it was pretty shot, light scratches etc. I bought that little dropper of oloephobic coating stuff off amazon and applied it a couple nights in a row, and it worked pretty well. I also tried Smitty’s glass wax, but saw no difference.
The stuff I mentioned isn’t magic but it does work pretty well. Definitely worth trying. Gotta keep applying, since it’s temporary, but they only give you a tiny amount.
Just got mine as well, you're definitely going to need a curved screen protector. I'm trying this one it's okay so far. There's some cheap $10 clear cases on Amazon as well
I've bought multiple of these tempered glass screen protectors on Amazon and use them along with a phone case. The screen still has the same feel and responsiveness.
They hold up really well against cracking during everyday use and normal drops and falls. The only minor problem I've had is that dust can occasionally work its way under the protector, leaving tiny little spots (but that's on a phone that is constantly in a very dusty environment). I dropped my phone screen side down on dirt/gravel and accidentally stepped on it. The screen protector shattered of course, but my phone was perfectly fine with not a scratch on the actual screen.
The suggested other options on Amazon from your first link include one I've purchased.

I have only needed 2 so far and they work well. Current one is going almost a year.
I've blasted through so many Zagg invisashield ones, and they are a hassle to submit for a replacement, don't stick, and break easily. Stay the fuck away from those.
The one time I went without, I noticed micro scratches in sunlight and it drove me crazy. Fortunately, that unit had an issue and it was replaced under AppleCare warranty. I've never gone without a screen protector since.
On my 11 Pro I have a crack in my protector. I have no idea how it got there. Maybe I accidentally mixed it with keys once or something, I don't know. But what's great is that I can just replace the protector and good as new.
I have AppleCare so I'm not afraid of breaking it. Likewise, this new ceramic screen is supposed to be stronger so no worries. I just don't want to have to live with a small scratch or micro scratch. I like knowing I can wipe the screen clean without worrying about scratching it with grit or sand or something when I go to the beach, camping, hiking, etc.
https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Tempered-Protector-designed-Friendly/dp/B08DQT3F3C/ are inexpensive and extremely easy to install.
FYI, I saw someone say that they used this kit to refresh their oleophobic layer. I can't speak from firsthand experience though.
https://www.amazon.com/Crystal-Armor-Fingerprint-Oleophobic-Coating/dp/B00LKYW6M0/
It's far from perfect, but it's the first one that didn't fall off 3-5 days later..
I also use it with the rhinoshield crashguard, so case usage will vary.
had my doubts about the IMBZBK, but their product is well made and service is great. application was easy and protector is still on nice and tight! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088QCGY2K/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I suggest distinguishing by phone. For example, I'm enjoying great success on my P7P with the IMBZBK curved, tempered glass screen protector, after returning as unsatisfactory the AACL hybrid film screen protector. OTOH, my wife has had some unsatisfactory tgsps on her P7, including the LK, TOCOL, and Sparin. We're about to try the IMBZBK version for the P7.
I'm very pleased with IMBZBK. Indeed, it's a steal at its currently reduced price of $27.99.
This was my first LOCA install, so I was concerned about potential pitfalls and hesitated to spend the money. In the event, after watching their installation video several times, including during the install, I found the process straightforward. Having also watched some Whitestone-related videos, I think IMBZBK has less chance for user error. Among other things, IMBZBK include a bubble level in the installation frame, which helps assure that you're installing on a level surface. Inserts in the frame also protect against glue going where it shouldn't. In my case, moreover, the glue did not overrun the screen.
In use, after three weeks of use, the IMBZBK is clear, smooth, and sensitive. Indeed, after a few days of use, I turned off the screen protector mode option in settings as unneeded.
As u/Villag3Idiot noted, some gap is necessary if you want to use a case. I'm very pleased with the IMBZBK, a tempered-glass protector installed using LOCA (liquid optically clear adhesive). Amazon now is selling it for $27.99, which is $7 less than I paid three weeks ago. The IMBZBK works well with my Zagg Gear4 Crystal Palace case. (I've linked to the Zagg webpage because you may qualify for 20% off.)
I would not say that the sides/edges of the IMBZBK are sticky or attract dust/lint/etc./ Indeed, although I now see a small amount of detritus, it's only because your post prompted me to look for it.
I'm really happy with this one. It takes a little time to do but just follow the directions and its seamless with the Spigen case. The only thing is the protector for the camera bar is crap but the Spigen case does a good job of protecting the camera bar on its own. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088QCGY2K?psc=1&ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_product\_details
