Just throwing my 2 cents in since I have OCD with screen protectors.

I've tried 3 different brands of tempered glass protectors (I bought 2 of each the ones below) and by far, the best one that worked for me was from Casebase. It even comes in a twin pack.

Sorry for the bad pics. Absolutely no halo at all. I didn't take any pics of the other 2. They didn't last more than week.

After I took off the ones below, I tried scratching them with different stuff around the house just to see what it took to get them to scratch up (keys, coins, edge of a razor, fork and a screwdriver) just to give some idea of the tough-ness of them.

The 3 I tried :

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RM4YHQ0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Went on really good with no halo, but after almost a week, I had a couple scratches that were deep enough to be annoying. These scratched the easiest. The company did however sent me a replacement free of change.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QN2X718/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These were just a bit bigger and cover more of the screen, but because of the curve of our phones, big time halos at the top and bottom edges and got worse during the week. It drove me nuts so I took them off. These are tough to scratch though. The toughest of all 3.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OPAHTKA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These were the easiest to apply and they had no halo at all. They scratch with some effort. I took off the first one so I could try and see what it took to scratch and the second one went on just as easy with no halo. I like these the best.

When I put these on, I went into the bathroom and steamed it up( To get the dust out of the air). That seems to help alot applying these things.

Hope this helps a little bit.

which screen protector is this?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] istrikerx:
Had an Orzly protector, 2 bits refused to stick down, rest was fine. Probably could have fixed it if I left my phone clamped down for the night but wasn't satisfied.

Decided to go Nillkin as they're usually the best, but I was so wrong to. Gonna have to paypal dispute to get my money back on that one, but the whole of the sides and bottom refuse to adhere to the screen.

I don't understand why so many companies are so focused on covering the full screen. Take me to the edge of the AMOLED panel and I'll be happy.

You aren't gonna get a full coverage glass protector like the iPhone 6 and 6+ have as the Nexus is a very niche product. Not having full coverage will mean the edges of your screen will shatter regardless of whichever glass protector you use, should you drop it on the corners without a case.

Literally a rectangular slab of glass that covers the panel itself would be fine for most people, and if aligned with the edges of the screen, would probably look the best too!

I'm gonna keep trying and disputing for refunds if I have to. Feel bad for the retailers and small eBay merchants, but it's not my fault they're being sold faulty goods!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Kendaihou:
I have perfectly put on Orzly that im afraid to take off to put on the Yootech I just received.

Dont know if I should take that risk. Dont have another Orzly lying around.

How much bigger is the Yootech?

I heard the Orzly is the smallest. If it's a perfect installation without halo or spiderwebs, I would stick with it.

With the curved screen you aren't going to get any drop protection from TG. Just scratch protection.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Kendaihou:
The Orzly on amazon.ca is unfortunately 14.99 not including tax :( . I managed to get a yootech because my brother who lives in the U.S. shipped some stuff home. Yootech is not available on amazon.ca either[emoji24]

I have the Orzly put on pretty much perfect. It was my first time putting on a TG. Now i have more experience since installed many for my family. I put the Orzly a little more closer to the bottom but its not that bad. I have one little spiderweb at the top but not that noticeable. So its pretty much perfect.

The yootech is not much bigger. Its a little longer but not a huge amount to make a difference. The width is pretty much the same.

I know it won't really protect much against drops but having a bigger one wouldn't hurt. I'm okay with Orzly though.

WTH???

Who knew USPS delivered on Sundays? I got my Jelly Bomb protector this AM. Now all I'm missing is the damn phone. Still.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rizzxx7:
They only deliver express mail and amazon items
[Nexus 6 Accessories] natezire71:
I ordered a XtremeGuard TG protector also. Fit is terrible. There is an airbubble around the entire edge of the front. Luckily, if you email them and complain about it--they refund you the money.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
Starting today through the holidays, the USPS is delivering all kinds of parcels on Sundays. They don't want to be last year's UPS fiasco.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rizzxx7:
Really? Stacy have all the inside connect with the USPS so he'd have better info
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
i AM the inside connection for you guys to the USPS ;)

I guess you are...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Steve Lazarus:
Just stopped by there today and had a glass screen protector applied. Kinda pricey $40, but fits like a glove, lifetime warranty and repels fingerprints like a boss... Loving it regardless of the price. I went on a hunt through every phone and cell accessory store in Destiny Mall (one of the biggest in the country) earlier today with zero luck.

Second time the local AT&T store has had new release phone accessories before anyone else. Also picked up the CaseMate portfolio case, love it as well. Kinda ironic they're the only folks here with accessories, yet no Nexus 6. Had a nice conversation with the guy about their recall issues.

Anyway, for those having "glass" screen protector fitment issues, the model AT&T has in store fit great. Model on my receipt is SCP BDG "Pureglass" XT11 :thumbup:

[Nexus 6 Accessories] iboj007:
Put on my Jelly Comb protector today and it seems to fit just fine. The only thing that bothers me about it is that it covers the front camera and now pictures from the front camera are hazy and slightly distorted.

I put in an email to them about this and let's see what they say.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Steve Lazarus:
Covers the front camera? lol = Epic Fail .. :p

They should be shipping you a new one, even if you're like me and never use it. To funny
[Nexus 6 Accessories] djkinetic:
yea this happens with the current cut, I emailed them as well, doesnt bother me as i dont take selfies lol, but some it mite as a result i emailed them..hopefully they send out some free replacements lol.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] iboj007:
Overall im actually VERY impressed. Super easy to put on, really smooth and appears to be good quality. Let's see how they respond.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rkennison:
Zagg covers the entire front as well except for the speakers. All the sensors, and the camera.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
The TG I have on my Note 2 covers as well. I figure it is SOP for TG covers.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Steve Lazarus:
Guess someone dropped the ball when they sent out specs... That's ridiculous...

The one I posted above doesn't cover the camera or sensor..

https://m.att.com/shopmobile/access...ardz-pure-glass-screen-protector-nexus-6.html
[Nexus 6 Accessories] iboj007:
I just have to laugh at that price considering how cheap these actually are.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
I got an email from the manufacturer/seller asking if their are any issues....I guess I'll reply....we may all get fixed up protectors in the mail.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Steve Lazarus:
Yeah, I definitely agree to an extent, but you get what you pay for....

It was actually $40 in store if that helps, lol. On the bright side, fitment is great, doesn't occlude anything..
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
I emailed Jelly Comb about the fit issue, we'll see how they respond.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] alone-together:
I just canceled my Jelly Comb screen protector's order on Amazon due to the previous posts. Thanks for the heads up guys. Still showing back-ordered on t-mobile so I can definitely wait to see more reviews come in.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
I don't think any of these are going to help against drops. That's what a case is for or unless they made one that goes all the way to the edge. Which is impossible with our curved display. I am more worried about my screen getting scratched since I work in a machine shop. There was one I saw on eBay that covers the whole screen but you can't use a case. Also I don't think it was the kind of glass these screen protectors are.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mnsportsguy1978:
Google Mocolo, got mine from UK
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 2thvet:
It's good, installed well, good thing they provide three. Lol. Works well with the S Pen, has great clarity, but man, it's a darn fingerprint magnet, and shows scratches quite easily, but alas, no halo.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SilentO:
Those that have the halo effect, did you install it with steam? I wonder because of the moisture that change the property of the glue
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Got photos please. Price is good.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stas333:
dry install here both with zagg and ezguardz

[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Hmmm.... Perhaps not.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mnsportsguy1978:
Look at the pics not the dialogue...zero issues in my application
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
I agree the pics look fine & I can't understand what the guy is complaining about. But its just not quite the style I'm after. My screen is quite flat toward the edges & I've had no issues with sensors and such, so I'm after one with a larger cut & no cutouts for sensor & camera. Sadly, there don't seem to be any brands left offering this.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mnsportsguy1978:
Ezguardz would be your best option then, just make sure its authentic because that one doesn't have any cutouts
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
I'm using the original EZGuardz now, and its perfect, but the latest revision is cut smaller & has the camera cutout.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mnsportsguy1978:
I would question the authenticity then, according to them there is no cutouts
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
The real deal. Clearly has a cutout for the camera. Others have posted pics of this revision also with the cutout. When I bought from this same page, the picture was different.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] smacsteve:
I was inclinded to follow your suggestion with the EZGuardz, but when I went to Amazon and looked at the reviews, there was just way too many negative reviews. Lot's of 1 star ratings. Overall rating was only 2.5 stars. I wonder why so many have had the halo issue with this product? Many of them very recent.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jhk0215:
I have EZGuard too and they have been using that same picture from the beginning
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
If the original picture had the cutout, I wouldn't have bought it, so....

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

Its not the product that's defective. Its the variation in our gorilla glass. As I've said before, I think they've been hand polished and each one will have a different amount of the "flat" portion of the glass polished out.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jhk0215:
It's been a problem since the beginning of this thread. People got deceived into thinking it had a camera cutout but it didn't. If you check back into really early on in the thread you may find it
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Regardless of the picture, this is the current EZGuardz... Obviously the cutout is wrong. The edge of it covers the camera.

The outer cut seems right though. I would have no halo from this.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 8Fishes:
I just cant imagine the TG being but any smaller along the edges to prevent that halo. It must be that your phone has a much more curved slopping sides to the edge.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Lol, no. That's not my phone. I pulled that from a few pages back. This is mine.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] californiarailroader:
I think you're right, I have tried several glass protectors (Jelly Comb, CaseBase, YooTech, Orzly), and, along with varying amounts of halo EVERY one fails to stick in two areas, one on the upper left side of the screen and one near the upper right corner of the screen, so those spots apparently aren't perfectly flat. I finally gave up and went with a Spigen Crystal Screen Protector, it's not glass, but it looks and feels close to glass, fits perfectly, covers more of the screen than the glass ones, and best of all, no Halo! I guess some of us will never find a glass protector that fits properly.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Gungrave223:
Lol yea which is why I just gave up with the EZGuardz. There is halo on mine but oh well...could be worst i guess
[Nexus 6 Accessories] smacsteve:
I hate to throw another log onto the fire this late in the party, but has anyone had any experience with this brand? Brando Workshop? The interesting thing here is the "rounded edition " pictured in the link. No cutouts? Just curious about this and thought I'd share the find. http://shop.brando.com/Brando-Works...Edition-Google-Nexus-6-_p12242c1831d008.html
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Just looking at the web page, I would say you have no way of knowing what it looks like. The picture is clearly just a mock up, as there are not even cutouts for the speakers. And the rounded edition is just the 2.5d rounded edge just like all the others. It clearly doesn't wrap around the curve of the screen.

And if you look at their moto x page. http://shop.brando.com/Brando-Works...on-Motorola-Moto-X-2014-_p12637c1866d008.html you'll see that it has ugly square cutouts for speakers & camera. $25US pffft....
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SpyderSL:
Did you end up posting pictures? This may be off-topic for a TG thread, but a review of the Spigen on Amazon had this to say:

Have you had the same problems?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
Mine is due from Amazon tomorrow (though, not sure if the weather will be a factor on the predicted date), so I'll definitely post after checking it out.

From the majority of comments that I've seen thus far (and, maybe I'm missing a bunch) folks have said that covering the camera and proximity sensor caused no ill effects. We'll see!

- ooofest
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Make sure you switch the phone off while you install. ?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] oodasbobooo:
I did the SAME thing. After trying the Jelly Comb, Zagg, Skinomi Tech Glass, YooTech, Orzly, Revised Jelly Comb, Pleason, and Revised Pleason, I've resolved to myself that my phone must have received a little "extra love" in the curved-edge-polishing department. So, I ordered two sets of the Spigen Crystal's from Amazon (6 total) and haven't looked back. Covers way more of the screen, feels like the glass, and has very, VERY minimal halo (hardly noticeable). For what i've spent on the TG protectors (thankfully Amazon returned quite a few of them), I should've just bought an army of the Spigen Crystals and called it done lol....
[Nexus 6 Accessories] MCube74:
Nexus 6 needs a special glass screen protector like the iPhone 6.

I am sure one of the companies will come out with a perfect fill screen glass protector. The only problem ithat there are not many Nexus 6 users and that is why no company has bothered to invest in making a full screen glass protector.

If it was the iPhone 6 it would have been different.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
Let me know if this should be posted in a different thread instead of here, because this is *not* a tempered glass protector, but I was asked about the Spigen Crystal on my Nexus 6 in this topic.

First off, I must have an extremely dusty house or my fleece is just a magnet. We have forced air heat, which may be part of it, but I also keep the relative humidity at about 40%, so not sure exactly what's going on. Whatever the reason, I went through all three protectors in trying to keep the dust away from this application - even then, the third attempt (applied in a steamed bathroom) still took a little lifting and removing of little particles from the applied protector before I figured that was good enough.

This protector covers the camera and proximity sensor - both on opposite sides of the ear speaker. When applying the Crystal, I pulled 1/4 of the "Bottom" tab adhesive covering away and started at the phone's top, fully covering the camera and proximity sensor without letting the protector's edge possibly intrude on their lines of sight. There is just enough room in the protector's shape on that end to do so and still not cover the center speaker.

From there, I just kept checking for dust and pulled the remaining bottom covering away as I pressed the protector down over the phone's surface. Centering this film took some practice, but it essentially came down to centering the initial cutout around that top speaker.

Air bubbles were easy to press out and for any stray particles left underneath, I used common wrapping tape to lift a corner up and then dab the particle(s) away using the supplied dust removal stickers (there are 4 provided). I tried the useful squeegee, but my fingers were actually easier in some cases to work the air bubbles out to the sides and out from underneath the protector.

Like any protector for the Nexus 6, this one hits limits of the curved edges, but it goes pretty much up to those edges. We'd need a curved protector to go farther, because even though this isn't glass, it's still too stiff to bend at the angles on the edges of this phone's glass. The protector easily covers all of the visible display, so the rest is about aesthetics on the larger glass, itself.

So far, it's proving easy enough to clean, though it seems to smudge easily at times. I have been concentrating on it directly instead of actually just using it day-to-day, though, and looking at my un-protected Galaxy S III I see it's normally full of finger smudges, so it's likely just normal. The overall feel is neutral, which is exactly what I wanted.

I also got a CellBee Life Companion case, which has a silicone lip that covers and comes just to the edges of the protector, so it looks well integrated together and generally removes an outline that the Spigen could create inside the glass.

I'm even seeing dust that settled on the installation that happened while taking pictures, so this is getting a bit silly. Believe me, there's almost nothing but glass under this protector now :) . But, hopefully what I described comes through well enough in these shots.

That's pretty sweet coverage. Like the case as well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mexiking713:
I might gibe this a try. I bought the iblason 3 pack screen protectors. They are decent for the price. The spigen seems to have a more precise fit. How does it feel vs the grass?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
mexiking713: When I picked up the phone at one point last night, the surface felt like cold glass at first - if I didn't know there was a Spigen protector on there, I would have guessed it was uncovered. Hope that helps to answer your question.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] 123noob:
I am in waiting for either Iloome or Bodyguardz to come out with the full screen coverage TG such as the Crown that BG has for Iphone6/+.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mexiking713:
I was gonna pick it up over the iblason but I was being cheap. Oh well, lesson learned ☺. Ill be picking it up from Amazon. Thanks for the feedback
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mgear356:
Actually I have a tip. If u have halo, try putting some alcohol hand sanitizer (those that do not cause yr hands to feel oily.) at the edges where the halo is.

Lift it up a bit and let the alcohol go in and press it for like 1min..

This fixed all my halo and I have a perfect glass protector..
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SnipeMeNot:
a year or two ago i saw spigen tempered glass

for iphoned and on the installation instructions, it says wipe the screen with an alcohol swab/wipes (not sure if sgp's wipes are different from the regular ones but i vaguely remember people talking about %% level from the swabs)

i didmt know if that step applies to any other tempered glass but seems like you confirmed alcohol working so case solve!!!! tnx

anyway was lurking for a long time and was wondering if i missed any post or did anyone try the

Yootech® Premium Motorola Google Nexus 6 Tempered Glass Screen Prot...

[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
Their Crystal protector (non-glass) also comes with an alcohol wipe, FWIW. My screen was brand new, but I used it anyway and it didn't leave streaks, dust or anything like that, at least.

EDIT: the Crystal was bundled with a Zeiss Lens Cleaning Wipe.

No problems with yootech
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SnipeMeNot:
thank you so much its been a week or two and i was still using the factory screen protector. i just realized the factory screen cover protected my screen from a deep scratch :) i realized it was a sign to stop procrastinating get tempered glass already :) tyty ordering yootech
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Robert_W:
Just as in my video, I used the alcohol prep pad pretty vigorously followed by a dry microfiber wipe down before installing my Extreme Guardz TP. Came out Nealy flawless. Just got 2 specks of dust.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] :
Running without a screen protector seems like you are asking for trouble, but I really hate screen protectors. Reading this thread is like a horror novel. No clear "best" product and lots of flaws with the preexisting products.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] enyalius:
Yootech isn't great...

Just got my Tempered Glass Youtech today, and I love the way it feels!

HOWEVER, after applying, there are several spots (most of note would be on the two top 'pieces' that stick up above the speaker and camera) that are not adhering at all. Everything else looks and feels fine except for five or six areas (all around the edges) that don't seem to want to adhere. Very disappointed :(
[Nexus 6 Accessories] tbird302:
I had to reinstall mine 3 times due to the tight alignment. No problems I'll put pics later not home now

Should call for a replacement. Maybe I got lucky.
