Wrap the part of the device in folded or layered microfibre clothes or towels. It will help the clips grip the phone. I keep my case on while doing it too. I've done it around the sides and it works enough to remove the bulk of the halo but I have a couple of 1 cm long hairline bubbles that don't cause me any issues. The only place I have a large halo is on the right of the bottom speaker that doesn't stick and isn't doing a snowflake or web pattern anymore.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mikgabo:
I broke down and finally tried the Orzly, its kinds small but is flawless. If u can stand the size this could be the solution for some.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] papeshfoo:
Got my Jelly Comb from Amazon installed finally, and had a few issues. The top right corner by the cam cutout was chipped, and the whole right side wouldn't adhere. I contacted Amazon, they refunded me and told me to buy another using 2 day shipping and they would wave the shipping charges. So I have another on the way, hopefully its better then the first.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] noeldavid:
I read this whole thread and got tired of waiting for the perfect solution so I finally bought a MIME glass for my Nexus 6. I am very happy with the results. No halo whatsoever and I had the stupid paper clips standing by but did not need them. The size of the MIME is about as big as you can go considering the curved nexus 6 glass. Here are some photos taken with the RINGKE SLIM case (love the unfinished rough texture like the nexus 5 back which adds much needed grip to the slippery nexus 6 ( photos taken with a Nexus 5 ).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] chodie:
I was so excited to get my mime screen protector as I was finally able to rid this device of the stock protector it shipped with.

I took extra precaution when applying it to ensure that I wouldn't get a halo and let it sit overnight.

And this is how it turned out...

I will be asking to exchange it based on the fact that some of you were able to apply it with no halo whatsoever, like the guy right above this post.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
It looks like the one above yours looks bigger it looks like it covers more of the screen.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] noeldavid:
Lucky MIME above-guy here. My glass measured 6 inches tall (minus 1/16 of an inch) from above the speaker and under the speaker it measures 5 5/8 inches in lenght. Width is 3 and 2/16th of an inch. I was somewhat drunk while installing, I did the water vapor thing on the bathroom and cleaned the glass surface of the nexus 6 with Windex! Hope this helps out the below-guy.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kevinh52:
just got my mime ghost glass today and installed also.

1st time putting a tempered glass on .

i think it did okay.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
Did you have anything under the glass I did it in the bathroom and I was careful and still had something under it I took it off I ordered two more waiting for them. I have ocd if one thing is under it I am done off it comes.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] noeldavid:
Ofcourse I still ended up with one tiny bit of dust inside the installed MIME glass. The Screen Protector Gods making me pay for the wrongs Ive done in my past. I really do not care as its only visible if I look for it. No air bubbles is whats important to me.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] chodie:
I measured, and this MIME screen protector has the same dimensions as "the guy above". I must have just received a dud. I also did the unthinkable and removed the protector, rinsed it, and reapplied. Now I actually have the corner by the front facing camera staying down, but the other three and just as they were originally.

Hopefully MIME is ok with replacing it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ramone360:
Is there a special way to install these glass screen protectors without halo? I have tried 3 different ones (ezguardz, ghostek, & spartan)

The Glass Protector issue is turning out to be as bad as the Note 4 one, I'm coming from a Note 4 by the way. I have gone through two so far, YooTech and Jelly Comb, both have Halo for me, so I'm going to put on a normal Spigen one until somebody makes one that fits right, on every Nexus 6. I went through several on my AT&T Note 4, only to finally give up and go with a PET one.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P1HJC2E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The Nexus 6 seems to have the same problem as the Note 4, the screen curve varies slightly from carrier to carrier, and sometimes even phone to phone.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] chodie:
I did measure and the MIME Ghost Glass I received is the exact same measurements that you've mentioned. I also did the unthinkable and removed, rinsed with water, and reapplied the screen protector. After doing so I was actually able to get 3 of the 4 corners to stick. Go figure. I'm still going to ask for a replacement, however.

Edit* Sorry for the repost, I thought my original replay didn't post.

Intelliglass

I used this one from Itelliarmor http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B00PZG54OG?tag=e0495-20 It fits as well as can be, considering the curved edges of the screen, small halos near some edges where it goes around the speakers. I was very impressed with the adhesive or whatever they call it, went on effortlessly. Excellent feel to the finish. Sure beats PET! I always do screen protectors in a steamy bathroom (shower running hot) to knock all the dust down out of the air, works great, and don't hang your head or clothes over the work!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 123noob:
Can someone post a link for the MIME tempered glass? I ordered the Orlyz this time as my last resort, but I will give a larger size cover one more time... and this time going all out with applying :D. I like how the MIME looks on the "above-user" haha.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] drylightning:
Here it is.

It worked very well for me too:

[Nexus 6 Accessories] 123noob:
Aw... hmmm I shall wait hehe. I'm on Jelly Comb replacement atm and it is better than the first one I received, but I don't really ilke this.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] vaxick:
I found a super easy way to rid your device of dust before applying a screen protector. Order a Armor Shield from Amazon and apply it first. Those screen protectors pick up every last piece of dust and it is basically permanently stuck to the screen protector due to the type of adhesive they use. After that, you can install your chosen screen protector on a nice clean screen without issue. I did it with my Nexus 6 before I put my screen protector on and it went on perfect the first try without a single piece of dust. You have to spend an extra $10 to do it this way, but it's well worth it to know all your dust problems will be a thing of the past. As a bonus, you'll get a very nice squeegee out of it as the one Armor Shield includes is a very high quality one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] californiarailroader:
How big are the halos? Can you post some pictures? Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
So put the glass screen protector over the armor shield? Is that going to stay? Seems like you would have 2 things between the screen? I am not saying that because I don't believe you I am just curious, and if you say it works I might try it.

Horrible pic, but the Orzly looks sharp in person.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] danarama:
Does anyone know of a good fitting protector that has cut outs surrounding the speakers instead of just indented?

What I mean is I want a protector that runs the full length of the top and bottom edge instead of dipping down and underneath the speaker.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SilkyJohnson:
People seem to like the MIME brand one, pretty much full coverage. Pics a few pages back and then deeper back you can find more.

Otterbox one seems to be the best, but it's not out yet.

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Accessories] danarama:
Cool, cheers. for the answer. I'll press thanks in tapatalk later :)

Edit. Hmm MIME still looks to indent, although looking at the pics, having glass surrounding the speaker may not actually be possible due to the bezel. Actually that MIME looks nicer than most.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] vaxick:
No, no, no lol. I mean apply the armor shield screen protector directly onto your Nexus 6. Let it dry on there for a bit and then remove the armor shield screen protector from your phone. Then after that, put your screen protector on the Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kingston73:
At first I liked my mime but I can't recommend it anymore. After only a week I already have a chip out of it on the side. This is with the ringgke max case and I'm very careful with my phone so no abuse. Between the halo and now the chip I'm very dissappointed in it, especially for the price. My jelly comb didn't feel as good but was on for a month without any chips. I'd stay away from mime, for now at least.

I've got a ghostek on the way, plus I emailed mime with my issues so I'll post back when I get the answer from mime and when I install the ghostek.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
Got ya how well does the armor shield work by its self? Because I have a case so I am not worried about my screen breaking. I am worried about scratches more than anything.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] vaxick:
It's alright and it does a good job combating fingerprints, but it isn't crystal clear. There's almost a look of speckles in it like you'd see on a matte computer monitor. I use a iLLumiShield screen protector on my Nexus myself. It was $7 on Amazon and it's crystal clear. Plus, it has a cutout for the proximity sensor which some of the N6 screen protectors seem to be missing for some strange reason. I've been very happy with it so far and it hasn't bubbled up on the edges like I see many of the tempered screen protectors doing.

I posted some photos of it here.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] msd24200:
I received my replacement EZgaudz tg, this one has the proximity cutout but if I remember correctly people had trouble with that one as well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Radicchio:
Is there some reason you recommend the Armor Shield specifically? Wouldn't any screen protector do the same thing? Why not get a cheaper one to use to remove the last traces of dust?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SilkyJohnson:
Orzly: zero issues.

Y'all will come around ☺

PROS:

*no halo + perfect fit

*crystal clear (screen actually feels nicer too)

*no chips

*no proximity sensor probs

CONS (if this is a con to you):

*doesn't cover the entire front

^until someone comes out with a curved tempered glass to fit ours perfect, the Orzly is the safe option IMO.

DISCLAIMER: I don't work for Orzly nor am I getting paid by them. Lol.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] kevinh52:
Just FYI.. Since people are talking about buying screen protectors just to get the dust off before installing a tempered glass one. ........The MIME does come with a Anti-Dust pre-installation film. Basically a sticky film to help get the the dust off. Not sure if that helps when looking at the cost. whenever its in stock again.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] vaxick:
Traditional plastic screen protectors don't have the adhesive strength to pickup all dust particles off the screen. It would have to be a screen protector like Armor Shield. Something like Skinomi should work too. I've just use Armor Shield personally since it's a new trick I discovered not too long ago that saved me from the painful process of sticking scotch tape under the screen protector to try to pull dust out of it.

It was 'apparently' dispatched from Amazon UK on the 11th Nov.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] dca1970:
Just got mine, DON"T BUY!! It fits great, however, the cut out for the sensor is on upper right instead of upper left. So.... when you are in a call, the screen goes black. nothing you can do to bring phone back until call hangs up. (phone thinks it is against your ear).. (jelly comb)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sfidelisrp:
xtremeguards quality just sucks. The cutout on the HD plastic protectors is high-a$$ed at best, and the halo on the glass one is annoying. I didn't even try the plastic one because the cutouts don't line up at all. I won't bother with refund since it all came out to less than 10 bucks and won't be worth the trouble. I'll just wait to see if they release a better glass one to use their "lifetime warranty".
[Nexus 6 Accessories] djkinetic:
Email them and let them know so they can correct it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] androidtoy09:
Hmm, i ordered one too. Did you try pressing the power button while it's not against your ear? We can email the seller and tell them to make corrections.

Just put my jelly comb on, I didnt get one with the black frame shipped to me for some reason but it worked out as u can see from the pics. front cam and proximity on call work. No halo or air bubbles, looks real good in person.

Just got the N6 on Friday. Salesperson installed a ZaggGlass, made a test call, and the phone went dark. Evidently it covers sensors enough to make the device thinks it's next to your head or in your pocket as other posts here.

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

Yes, there is a cut out on the right of the speaker, not left. I lifted it up during call, screen comes on. Jelly Comb did e-mail me, very quickly. I will keep everyone posted.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] SinfulRoad:
Yeah I don't know, I'm using one of those XtremeGuards glass screen protectors that is too big that it goes over the screen so to speak. And with that protector, even though the glass covers the sensors, the sensor worked fine in my phone call. No problems with the screen staying off. I took it away from my head and the screen turned back on. It might just be your phone man.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bamfsig45:
I ordered two of these. Thanks.

Back to XtremeGuards. What a joke these protectors are. Very bad quality control. I dont know how these are cut, but they need to refine their process. Throwing all three away that I bought before even getting the phone tomorrow.

I used to be the one who used wet-apply plastic protectors, because they were easy to apply and squeegee out any bubbles. However, now I always go to tempered glass, because it is so much smoother. Touch sensitivity, I haven't noticed any degradation at all.

MIME customer here that posted perfect installation pictures back in page 135 post #1346 in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58240632&postcount=1346

I am sad to report that I am having issues with the sensor. When I call someone the screen goes black because the sensor is being blocked by the MIME glass since they did not leave a cut-out for the sensor! The screen will turn on only after the other caller hangs up. Whats worst is that if I call someone who does not pick up and goes into voicemail and I am not able to hang up leaving long voicemail message of me swearing. I solved this by going to ACCESSIBILITY area in the settings and ticking the option of POWER BUTTON ENDS CALL. It does not recalibrate the sensor in my case. I will not be able to use the browser while talking with someone since the screen is black. Any advice on how to solve this problem besides selling my soul to the Orzly sect?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
As far as I'm aware, to calibrate the sensor, uncheck the power button ends call setting again & reboot. In my case I just fitted the protector with the phone switched off & it must have recalibrated on powering up. Some have reported that just rebooting works.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kevinh52:
I hate your having this problem on phone calls, and I really like the feel of this MIME glass, it feels real smooth and my finger glides. And I am not having this issue with my mine.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] californiarailroader:
Thanks for the review! I have my Orzly coming tomorrow, hopefully my experience will be as positive. The Nexus 6 seems to have the same issue as the Note 4, screens varying from device to device, I hope mine is the same as yours [emoji51]
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ViciousMo:
it's been about a month with my revised pleson and it's been great. no halo, no peeling, perfect.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] NICEGYPT:
can you please post some pic. I got mine and the halo is crazy. I can't stand it anymore.. I just want to know if have the same cut and same version. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] narezese:
I got the same issue with the sensor. Black screens on calls.. xtremeguard.. .. So how do you calibrate the sensor?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mikgabo:
Do you have halo covering the sensor? If so that's the problem.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Try just rebooting. If that doesn't work. Go to settings>accessibility & tick the option for power button ends call. Wait a few seconds, the untick it & reboot.

Keep in mind that if the edge of the screen protector is really close to the proximity sensor, or you have a halo around the sensor, this probably won't work because the sensor will always think its covered.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] msd24200:
If you look close near the top speaker the corners of the tg are slightly raised but other than that is been great!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
I don't see the proximity cutout you were talking about. Looks like a big halo over the sensor. Have you had problems with black screen on calls?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kingston73:
This is the most insanely difficult phone I've ever owned as far as tgsp go. Here's my summary so far:

xtremeguard - huge halo

mime - small halo, plus no proximity cut out, PLUS it cracked within a week. Totally unacceptable and still waiting to here back from customer service. I sent them pictures a few days ago and haven't gotten a response yet.

jelly comb - best so far for me as far as fit goes, no halo and also correct cut outs for camera and sensors, wish I'd stopped here but when I installed I had a speck of dust that was bothering me, so I bought the mime

Ghostek - big halo, PLUS no cut outs. Their pictures clearly show a nexus 6 and the screen protector with cutouts for camera and sensors but what I took out of the package is cut a lot like the mime, zero cut outs

At this point I'm probably going to keep the ghostek on until Otterbox releases their alpha glass. If it's good I'll get it, if it's like the rest I'll get the Orzly

I really think a big reason why some people have good results and others don't is because it's difficult to place it precisely. There's no real locator spots on the N6 like there are on the iphone. If there was a separate cut out for the camera it might be easier to place the tgsp precisely each time. It seems like if you are just a mm off it'll give you a halo.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
I consider a mm out an absolute disaster when it comes to screen protectors. Call me a perfectionist if you like. When I installed my EZGuard, I fitted it about 0.3mm too far to the bottom & I have a small halo at the bottom speaker. I can tell that if I had fitted it perfect, I would have no halo.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kingston73:
Thats my points , it's difficult to place it vs other phones. I guess that's why the orzlly works for everybody, it's small enough that there is some room to err and still be successful.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] NICEGYPT:
Thanks for the pic. Mine looks different, the cut is next the camera to the speaker. It's not sticking at all around the speakers. I sent them a massage maybe they will change it for me.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] narezese:
nope.. Its fine on the side.. Was one on the bottom side..

I tried rebooting even a clean install. I didn't tried the settings option.. I will do once a get the new ones on the mail. Right now im using a dry one but is just like the one the come with the phone.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] msd24200:
I haven't put the revised EZgaudz on yet and that's where the protector wouldn't stay down near the top speaker.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] ayvecs:
i received the jelly comb glass protector and applied it. got a halo. applied it perfectly using the hinge method. first time using a glass screen protector. didn't put the other one on my wife's phone and instead used the spigen sgp screen protector. used spigen on my nexus 5 and never had any trouble.

will take off the jelly comb and put the spigen on mine until there is a clear concensus on which glass screen protector has the least issues and goes on perfectly.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Nacho~:
I've been rocking the orzly glass for about 2 weeks now (since the day I got the phone). This seems to be the only one that fits without any Halo. The problem, though, is that it barely covers the whole screen. if you are any minuscule amount off when applying, part of the screen wont be covered. Not to mention, the entire bezel is exposed (which I understand is the only way to not get the halo effect).

I think I'll be sticking with the orzly as it does the job and doesn't have any halo, plus its cheap and it also fits absolutely perfectly with my Unicorn Beetle Pro on.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] NICEGYPT:
Man :) you exactly said what I really want to say about it lol.... They refunded me by the way, I will look for one that fits good.
