I grabbed these (cheap) and they've worked well since launch. No issues with fingerprint reader.
I would normally go with tempered glass but that's not possible with the curves on the Pixel 6 Pro. It went on easy with no bubbles. I'm still using the first one and I do see some scratches so I may slap on the second one soon.
I'm typically a fan of glass, but with all the issues I heard about I decided to go for TPU. It's pretty cheap so I figured I'd give it a shot. I installed it 2 days ago and am very happy with it. It looks/feels great, and everything works.
It's from IMBZBK - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FHPCW5S?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
I actually kinda hate film protectors. My 6 Pro came with one and I really hated it, hated the feeling and hated how it came apart at the curved ends of the phone.
I got the following from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/IMBZBK-Google-Pixel-Pro-Installation/dp/B09FHPCW5S The installation was pretty easy and fool proof - but the best thing is the feeling. It feels like glass!!! I switched to Pixel from an iPhone and got so used to years of using glass protectors that the film annoyed me so much, but now I can hardly feel the difference between this and the actual screen.
Oh and on top of that, it improved the fingerprint scanner. I don't event remember the last time it failed since I switched.
You mean with the curved glass? If you don't buy a tempered glass one then it's fine. Tempered glass is great but on a phone with a curved glass display, they tend to lift off and more importantly crack easier because the glass is more susceptible to impact with a case on IMO. Sure your display is always safe but I was replacing them every few months on my last phone with a tempered protector. Then I went without for a while but was scratching it, so then I got a TPU film one and that was perfect. It made scratches much less visible, never lifted off, and the new ones feel smoother than glass.
I use this one, only the display portion. Not the camera portion. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FHPCW5S/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_dl_RJ8BCPES373MA46DZKW7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
IMBZBK Designed for Google Pixel... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FHPCW5S?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I have always used tempered glass screen protectors in the past but with the Pixel 6 pro and its curved edges I was less than happy with what was out there on the market. Really happy so far with this screen protector. It has a unique guide for the installation that plugs into the USB port and aligns the screen protector really well. Probably one of the easiest and most flawless installations I have encountered with any of my phones.
I agree that the curved display on the 6 pro resulted in a frustrating search for a suitable screen protector. I finally settled on this one and am pretty satisfied with it. It's got a unique guide that plugs into the USBC port and positions the protector for application. Went on extremely easily and although it's not a tempered glass protector, it has been working quite well for me.

I looked for this version for a pixel 5 and couldn't find it, but this will give you an idea of the type of protector on Amazon you should look for.
In an ideal world I would have a tempered glass screen protector but my last phone and the pixel 6 pro both have curved glass and I haven't had great luck with them staying on and the case not pushing it up. This time around I opted for a gel/film protector and honestly it feels almost as smooth and doesn't lift up around the edges at all.

I've been using this one, it's application was fairly easy, I botched the 1st one not noticing there was a sticky line in the middle to help you keep it aligned. I usually prefer tempered glass but this one's been a great plastic one.
So far it's worked with every case I've had, ghostek, a few Spigen case's, and the dbrand grip case.
I use this one and it's been great!

I just use a dbrand skin over the camera bar. As for screen protector, I use a TPU one by IMBZBK
This is the exact screen protector, bought from Amazon:
I'm using this and it's amazing so far; not glass, very thin film, most of the time I forget it's even there

It's you and didn't have a set time as far as I know (unless I seriously messed up...). Haven't had any issues with touch sensitivity or the fingerprint reader and the fitment is good with my Spigen case

This is what I used. TPU and fingerprint is 95% accurate. Self healing is really cool, I put several deep indents to get the bubbles out but by morning those dents were gone. Currently out of stock but keep trying
I was very reluctant to get a TPU screen protector b/c the last time I had one several years ago they felt gummy, tacky, and just plain bad. The one I have feels every bit as nice as the naked screen, and it was super simple to install. This is the one I have but I imagine there are many others similar that would be just as good.
Apparently glass makes the fingerprint reader issues much worse. I looked for one, and there aren't many options out there. Went with a TPU one instead, and I like it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FHPCW5S/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_MC6V790N2ERKKWEDC0S2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
The installation method is awesome. No bubbles and perfect alignment.
Google apparently has released a mid-month update to tweak the fingerprint sensor responsiveness. So there may be a chance that it's able to work with a tempered glass protector if you want to use one. I don't have any to test that theory though. Up until now the only screen protectors compatible with it have been PET and TPU screen protectors. There's tons of brands on Amazon. I personally got these. They work well enough, but like the other user said, they are oil and print magnets. I'm always having to wipe it off after a phone call.

I have been using this screen protector. Putting it on phone was a breeze. Nicely sticking to edges. Fingerprint works like a charm.

How does the tempered glass work around the curved edges? Or is it short and not go to the edges?
I got this film and it works well with finger print. But admittably when i hit buttons on the curve edge part it takes like 4+ taps for them to work. (Unless its normal for buttons to notwork on curved part and me to hate curved screens).

Only issue with this one is that I have a case on and the top right corner is peeling up after 2 days.
TPU screen protectors don't seem to have this issue. They're the ones you have to wet before applying. Annoying as hell, especially to get it to stick to the curved screen and you have to let it sit overnight (part of the reason many people say to do it before going to bed). Also the screen feels grippy and rubbery. I wasn't a fan but I might go with it if it means the fingerprint sensor works.
There's also tpu screen protectors like this with an alignment tool and no need to wet to apply. I haven't tried it but I'll probably go with this kind when it's more readily available.
I bought these, but don't have my phone yet. In the customer questions, the support was asked if these will work with the fingerprint scanner. Short answer is yes, so I'll let y'all know what I find.
Here's an example of what I am talking about.

I am actually using this screen protector on my 7 Pro. It is great! Installation was easy, the texture is good and the fingerprint scanner is just as fast as without the screen protector.
I use this one and it works great with a case.

These IMBZBK TPU screen protectors were awesome for my P6P. Read the instructions! The installation system is really smart, and I really liked them.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09FHPCW5S/
These Mowei glass screen protectors are pretty good. A kind of a pain to install, but the glass just feels better. I cracked the protector after a drop, and the screen itself was not damaged. The protector also came loose after another drop and had to be replaced. Once I run out of these, I'll go back to the IMBZBK.
This one is very good.
I love this screen protector. The Pro has curved glass so glass screen protectors are not going to be good. This one is easy to install (watch the video first), mirror smooth (no orange peel), and doesn't affect the fingerprint.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09FHPCW5S/
This charger is great. I get 4000 mA charging with this sucker. The Pixel 6 uses PPS, so a PPS charger will fill up the phone faster.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09PB7JVY3/
I like the Spigen Slim case. The sides are high enough to protect the curves from drop damages. It's slipperly, though. I got a ring holder to help me grip the phone.
I ended up getting this one and have had no issues. I typically like the glass protectors but this one is sufficient for scratches. I don't use the back camera one, though.
The screen shields for the Pixel 6 Pro work on the S22U. I used a spare on mine and it fits no problem.

TPU, works great for me. Plus they give you 3 in the pack. I needed 2 before I got it right. Take your time with the install. Finger prints work about 80-90% of the time, can't complain. GL 👍
I hate carve screen now i love it. This is the best ever screen protector ever i use it for carved screen. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.amazon.com/IMBZBK-Google-Pixel-Pro-Installation/dp/B09FHPCW5S&ved=2ahUKEwiy6PDyuPr0AhVQt6QKHehJAtIQFnoECAkQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2xWTKqqK0d2LKdv737K1Yx
It so easy you don't need anything. I am so bad when i applied screen protector but with this one i am a pro.
Thanks! I bought this one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FHPCW5S/
I have also thought about buying one from Best Buy with installation but I have read bad reviews about the OtterBox one they sell.

That is why I bought a screen protector. I was going to get a liquid one, but I really like this screen protector
$11 on Amazon right now.
Just saw this for $11 right now, which is not a bad deal. Maybe pick up an extra pack to keep for the future.

I'm glad that was helpful!
I got this screen protector from Amazon which I'm very impressed with so far: IMBZBK Designed for Google Pixel 6 Pro Screen Protector
I was worried a screen protector might inhibit the fingerprint reader but it doesn't at all after enabling the "Enhance fingerprint reader sensitivity (for use with screen protectors)" toggle in Android settings.
I ordered the Bellroy leather Pixel 6 Pro case in Terracotta (currently out of stock in that color) which is arriving tomorrow. It's also available from the Google store.
This is what I have. Interesting way to apply the film. My fingerprint sensor works perfectly.

There's various glass ones on Amazon. I'm not sure which to order either. This one looks to be for the 6 pro https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FHPCW5S/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_S3AEQEZPA0VFH4DGZ53C
