Since when does the Nexus 6 have curved glass?

Only the back of the phone is curved.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] akellar:
It's the same design as the Moto X. The edges are curved down. Read this thread for example. There has yet to be one found that adheres correctly.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] wattsja:
Thank you. Sorry it didn't work .. I was hoping it would actually be "updated" to work.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] androidtoy09:
I have Plesion tempered glass protector installed on my Nexus 9. I can vow it is real glass. It MAY look and feel like plastic when you hold the piece by itself before installing but it is real glass.

Edit: one way to test is using fire. Just an idea If you feel advantageous. :D
[Nexus 6 Accessories] natezire71:
If it feels like plastic, it's not glass; applied or not--it should always feel like glass.

Installing the protector to the device doesn't alter the physical properties of the protector.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] androidtoy09:
I'm not stupid to not know the difference between plastic and glass.

Do you have one? I have one. And I'm not going to debate this. It's nonsense. I was simply sharing my experience. Believe it or not it's up to you.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sn0warmy:
I've had my Jelly Comb glass protector on for about a week now. Overall it went on perfectly except for some lifting around the edges. I just received an email from them informing me that they are updating their glass protectors to be shorter and narrower to prevent from lifting. They are going to send free replacements to any of us who previously ordered one.

This is great to hear and great proactive customer service. However, I'm failing to see why these manufacturers don't keep the protectors the same size they currently are and put a black frame around the edges where the lifting takes place. Then any areas that are lifted will be covered by the black frame so you won't see it. That way it looks perfect and you don't have to sacrifice screen protection by leaving a larger area uncovered.

I'm really hoping one of these manufacturers goes the black frame route. I'd definitely buy that instead in order to keep as much protection as possible.

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

All of the glass protectors I've used (Spigen, Jelly Comb, Nilkin etc.) felt like plastic when you held them. This is simply due to how thin they are. They obviously don't really bend but they don't "feel" like glass.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pyros2008:
Shorter and narrower? The protector is already too small for the device. Any more narrow and the protector wouldn't cover the touch portion, it's has a only few millimeters overlap as it is.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sn0warmy:
Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what they are thinking. Like I said, add a black frame and BAM, problem solved.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ALUOp:
Exactly. I also like full coverage. Not covering the edge = crack screen if drop on the edge or corner.

They should just put some plastic underneath the edge to get around the halo issue, like the iloome one for iPhone 6.

I haven't ordered any glass protector yet and it seems like all these manufacturers have stopped selling those full-size protectors.

If there is no full-coverage protector available when I get my phone and I can get a hold of the early full-size protector I would try using silicone caulk to fill the gap. This may sound crazy but the caulk costs only a few bucks and come in many colors, clear, white, and black. Totally removable so no harm to try.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jhumps:
they are now :/ it was good for a few days but it seems to be rising on the edges or something .......i just ordered one of these mime glass protectors

http://mimeusa.com/product/nexus-6-ghost-glass-screen-protector/

i heard great things about these guys.....im hoping to find one similar to the zagg one i had on my m8 (it never failed and still looked great months later)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Jsunn:
Where did you order the Jelly Comb Tempered Glass protector.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] spiderjerusalem:
This one does bend considerably more then other glass protectors I have had I actually flexed the end towards each other before applying just because it felt different, it doesn't seam bad at all definitely nicer than the average plastic protector but not as nice as most glass protectors and pretty crappy since the cut out is still missing even though it's advertised it is updated.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jj14:
The problem with that is that the edges are still lifting up. Lint/dirt will get into the part that is not stuck well. You slide it into the pocket a few times and it may even get caught in the fabric and lift even more off.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I just tracked my MIME and it won't be here until Monday even with express shipping :(
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sn0warmy:
True, but I'm a TPU case user so that wouldn't matter to me. But yes, if you don't use a case then this would be a bad solution.

I haven't looked into it but I've read that they solved this issue with curved edges for the Moto X and manufacturers started making protectors with curved edges that worked. Like I said, I don't know the validity of this but if it's true they need to get cracking on doing the same for the Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Radicchio:
I would love to believe this, but I doubt it because I haven't been able to find many glass screen protectors for the Moto X, and those that I did find had poor reviews due to them not fitting well. I've also read comments by Moto X owners who stated they hadn't been able to find a glass screen protector that would work because of the shape of the phone. (I don't have a Moto X, but I started looking for a glass screen protector that worked for the Moto X on the theory that if a manufacturer could make one to fit that device, they could also make one to fit the Nexus 6 well.)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] forgeek:
thanks for the post

i need to get another one for my brother in the usa and have seen amazon actually have these in stock in there fulfillment centre so USA delivery should be 1-2 days for any of you that are worried about delivery

Iv used it now for a week and my phone works perfectly, i just wish the glass screen was a little wider but im guessing they just cant do it cos of the curved edge. I first came across there brand for my one plus one and i couldn't even tell there was a glass screen on the one plus one

anyway overall im happy and compared to zagg orzly screens are a bargain

http://www.amazon.com/Orzly®-Temper...66&sr=8-1&keywords=orzly+nexus+6+glass+screen
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
Nice, thanks for confirming. :good:

What about the front facing camera? The renders show the glass covering the lens.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] TheJesus:
I have three tempered glass protectors from various eBay sellers on the way, they'll be here Monday or Tuesday. I'll post pictures and reviews if they work or don't, just so there isn't questions about them :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Mistertac:
Ordered the Orzly one back on 11-18 and still haven't gotten it yet. Amazon says could be between December 12 - 25th.

I sent Orzly an email through Amazon asking for an update and they apologized and said they're sending me another one out right away with faster shipping.

Seems Orzly is fairly good to deal with, hopefully the screen protector is also good.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Wilazn:
Ordered the casebase one. Says estimated delivery date is January 5th lol.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
dbrand glass is coming https://twitter.com/dbrandSkins/status/540925304873971713
[Nexus 6 Accessories] acheney1990:
Sweet! Deff going to get one. That and the new blue Carbon Fiber.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Lerinsol:
iloome just posted this today:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
XtremeGuard just emailed me with a tracking number for the updated TG to replace the previous one that didnt fit. Hope to have it on Monday or Tuesday.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] acheney1990:
I take this with a grain of salt but Orzly told me they suspect my screen protector to be here on Monday. It was originally supposed to be here no later than last Tuesday.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
My MIME came early :D

The cut looks perfect, its only a hair smaller than my Spigen crystal plastic protector. I'm going to install it tonight and I'll report back.

Pictures (Spigen crystal is under it and you can see the size difference)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bleuiko:
Can't wait to see the final application!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] crypt0kiddie:
Hey has anyone who bought a BodyGaurdz Pure spoke to their customer support about the issues with it not sealing well along the edges? Mine looks to have raised bubbles at the sides, top and bottom which is clearly due to the curved glass.

When I emailed them they acted surprised to hear this but after looking threw this thread several people have had this issue.

Bought mine from the AT&T store a couple days after I got my N6 and I'm still within my 15 day return time frame but I was leaving the protective film on my N6 until I got a screen protector. Almost don't want to return it but these people at BodyGuardz Pure are acting clueless so I don't know when or even IF they are going to make a replacement.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
The question is will it protect the entire screen or just the area to go around their skins?

They only reason I don't buy a dbrand front skin is because there is no way to protect the screen without doing a custom cut.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] forgeek:
no mate the camera is not covered by the glass screen protector. My only criticism is that i wish it was a bit wider but i ordered a few other really cheap ones from ebay and this was BY FAR the best so im guessing this is the widest it can go because of the curved screen. I found the youtube video which orzly posted showing the glass screen very helpful
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
Yes, Orzly posted the glass protector video yesterday. :D

If Orzly made the glass any wider, it would in fact not fit correctly.

I contacted xtreme guard today to see if they have an revisions on the spartan protectors I ordered a couple weeks ago, otherwise requested a refund from them. Just waiting to hear back.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] purpl3rain:
Ordered an ez guard protector but it never arrived. Ez guard and extreme guard and I believe another one or two brands are under the prestige parent brand. I've read about their product quality and I'm glad their screen protector never arrived. I got my money back and am already happy with my jelly comb.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] androidtoy09:
Exactly same situation here. I contacted ez guardz on ebay and got the usual mumbo jumbo "please wait" email. $6 is nothing much but credibility is everything.

Xtreme Guard and EZ Guard are ONE company. I'm gonna stay away from these guys from now on. Good luck everyone!

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
Supposedly they did, (I emailed them yesterday since they did say new stock was coming in Thursday), and I got a new tracking number today for a new glass.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Anyone who is having trouble with an oversized screen protector, have you tried running a bead of clear silicone under the edge? Would definitely help with edge adhesion, and fill the gap under the edge.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ebuechler3:
That is absolutely not true.. I have a black matte dbrand skin and it fits perfectly on top of my invisible shield tempered glass.... I feel like am the only 1 in this thread who is 100% satisfied... I posted about this days ago!!!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
I think his point is that dbrand may make the tg to only fit inside their front skin. Others obviously don't.

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

Some of us don't want to use the front skin as it detracts from the beautiful full black glass front of the device.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ebuechler3:
Ive used tempered glasses on my last few phones, but these skins with the glass looks better than i could have ever imagined and the front skin cost like $1-$2.... My backup will be a cheap chinese tempered glass with a front colored skin on it.... I just wanna see if i can pull off the same look and feel for less than $10 total

And the skin only covers up the edges on the side, right above the bottom speaker, and 1/4 of an inch below the top speaker... I can clearly see the whole black glass on my nexus 6 the captive buttons and the notification pulldown bar would be covered up if my skin covered the black glass..... $2 bucks for a front skin, and no more prob
[Nexus 6 Accessories] genomecop:
What tempered glass is that on your phone? I love my dbrand skin and would love some protection on the front as well.

Thanks.

....google of "invisible shield tempered glass" leads me to site that says "not available yet"
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slyguy2000:
sorry for the delay in pic... this is my BodyGuardz Glass from AT&T that was online preordered with my N6...been on since day 1... 1 damn tiny little dust bubble (doesn't show up in the pic), but other than that, perfect!

I got caught up last night with some work so I'm installing the MIME trust morning. I'm hoping for the best with this one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ebuechler3:
http://m.sprint.com/shop/mobile/sho...jsp?accCatId=acc9010cat&deviceId=MOTXT1103KIT Or just get one from the sprint store like I did, but i think any tempered glass that covers the whole phone will work great with front dbrand skins!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Philly Jim:
Let me know how this work's out I had a bad experience with mime on my N5 both the Ghost and the regular one , but I am dying to put a glass screen protector on my N6 , the Skinomi is okay but really not cutting it already started peeling on one corner ..............looking forward to your review.......
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Well I intalled the MIME, and it fits rather well but it suffers from the same fault as every other one to date. There is a halo effect where it won't adhere, but its not nearly as bad as the Jelly Comb or Xtreme Guard that I tried. I spent 10 minute ensuring my phone was clean, ran the hot shower so theres no dust, and aligned it perfectly on my phone. It's rather disappointing considering MIME has always had the best fitting TG that I've used. I emailed them about this and I'll post their response when I get it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] msd24200:
Very disappointed to hear this
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Its sad :( maybe they will it because they also have the moto x 2014 TG on their site. There's no point in offering s product if its going to ruin your reputation so I'm hopeing their will fix it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] msd24200:
Let's hope so, I'm still waiting on my orzly
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Me too, its been almost a month since it shipped.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] msd24200:
Mines not been nearly that long yet probably closer to a week But shows I won't get it according to amazon until between the 26th of December and 9th of January. I emailed the seller and according to them
[Nexus 6 Accessories] msd24200:
I have zero tracking information
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Irish1842:
Does the Orzly have rounded edges, or are they straight? I've never used glass before, and have read that ones with rounded edges make it feel better with swiping and such. Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
I contacted Xtreme Guard late last night to see if they had revised the original tempered glass and if they could send me replacement units. They replied pretty quick (under 16hrs total, on a Saturday) and my replacements are already shipped out for FREE.

Now, I'll just have to wait and see if they fit of course. Even if they don't they will refund my money. They are not a bad company, they just made a mistake on the cut. No ones, perfect.

Here is the entire email exchange for reference.

Shipping email followed right after the response.

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

Yes, I'm more curious to know if they are making the cut based around their dbrand skins, so it is more centralized over the display and not interfering with the dbrand front skins.

To further elaborate, I don't want a dbrand front skin just going around random tempered glass edges and then onto the phone glass itself. To me that won't look right or good enough in my book. I want to know if dbrand is going to make their glass cuts specifically for fitting in between the middle of dbrand front skins or if they have an alternative.

We'll find out soon enough.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] acheney1990:
So you can put the d brand front skin over a tg protector? Like the type that doesn't right to the end and you can make it fit OK? That would be great.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Philly Jim:
Well I just Ordered one myself I read somewhere that they redesighned it , i'll find out Tuesday when it comes once you go glass you can never go back .....lol I put a skinomi on for now at least theres some protection against scratches , unfortunately one end already started to peel back , I have the return label , I'm hoping it's true about the orzly , guess we'll see , I love Iloome they are my screen protector of choice hope there is a release date soon .......
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mnsportsguy1978:
Sprint one also has halo effect will be returning, hopefully iloome makes one like the iPhone 6 or a flexmate, I think that's our only hope for TG
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ebuechler3:
It looks as if my phone was designed with a dbarand skin on it... It also doesnt seem like i have a tempered glass on my phone either... Perfect means perfect!!! The use of a blow drier ties in or makes the skin tight fitting on the tempered glass and phone! I have never seen a phone look this good but noone believes me!!

MKBHD Update 10.1!: http://youtu.be/fbwEaql90Ac. This is why I prefer dbrand skins
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kingston73:
Do you know if the skin interferes with putting a case on it? I really like that look and like the idea of the skin covering the tgp but I need a case.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
It does, I just tried it again.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] vivanshah:
good news, hopefully it will have a curved edge like their ip6+ one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] HyperM3:
Just received my Bodyguardz in the mail last night. Installed it with no hassle but I thought the parts that werent sticking correctly would settle overnight. They didnt and its not sealing correctly around the speakers and very slightly on the 4 corner edges. This is unacceptable and disappointing for trying a product like this for the first time.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I'm still waiting on MIME to reply, I filed a claim via Paypal to help make it go faster. Overall I really don't have any hope for a good TG after trying 3 so far and counting.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kingston73:
Looks like orzly is the way to go so far.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] uhguy:
I ordered the Orzly last night. Should have it by Wednesday. Seems like it is the best choice right now.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sn0warmy:
At this point it doesn't matter if you order Orzly, Jelly Comb etc., you're going to get the same result with the halo around the edges. If I were going to order one to hold me over I'd just go with whatever the cheapest option is.

EDIT: NVM. I failed to realize the Orzly protector was designed to be smaller and solves the halo issue.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] msd24200:
I ordered mine on the 30th and still waiting
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kingston73:
From what I've seen the orzly fits just fine, unless you have first hand experience?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] crypt0kiddie:
Do me a favor and please contact their customer support and also please go post on their Facebook page. I contacted their customer support and they acted like they had no idea what I was talking about and asked for pictures.

How bad is yours compared to mine?

[YOUTUBE]I8KxTa9cx4c[/YOUTUBE]
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sn0warmy:
Woah...

I'm not sure where I failed at reading but you are right. The Orzly protector does seem to solve the fitment issues by being a bit smaller. For some reason I thought it was getting the halo issue as well. Thanks to your post and doing a bit more research I just ordered one as well. It will be here in about a month but my Jelly Comb protector will definitely hold me over till then.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] r34p3rex:
Jelly comb is also smaller and solves halo issue
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sn0warmy:
False. I just got my Jelly Comb last week and it is too big and has the halo problem. However, they did email me and told me they are working on a new version that is smaller and will solve the issue. But according to them, it isn't released yet. They are sending free replacements to those of us who bought the first revision.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] msd24200:
I think orzly is on a second or third revision as well
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
My response from MIME:

Hi Pilz,

Thank you for reaching out to us!* Can you please send us a picture of

the glass you received?* With a picture, we should be better able to help!

Best,

MIME
[Nexus 6 Accessories] fredgarvin5:
Run a hairdryer on it. I got rid of the ones on the sides that way.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] crypt0kiddie:
I will give that a shot tonight.

I actually went back to the AT&T store where I bought the Pure from and voiced my concern and told them the rep who installed it had offered to install a new one if the protector didn't settle in a day or two. They put a new one on without any issue and it's got the same air bubble spaces in the same spots.

Almost makes me think there is a slight variance in the N6 glass itself from unit to unit.

This isn't so bad that I can't use this tempered glass BUT it's the point of the thing really. I mean I know if BodyGaurdz doesn't fix it, I'll end up buying another brand and I don't want to just be out $45.00 dollars so I'm almost thinking about returning it BUT I really don't want to be without protection and risk dropping my phone. I've watched the video's BodyGaurdz made with the golf ball, cue ball and bowling ball and these are some amazing screen protectors.

Oh and now their customer support has stopped replying to my emails since I sent them the video link so um there is that. It's been a few days now. About to email them and ask wtf and probably just call them tonight.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] fredgarvin5:
I went thru the same thing. I had ATT put on another and it did the same exact thing. They refunded me and left it on my phone for free. So I can live with it. Plus a hairdryer helped a lot.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I tried that it didn't work. I'm hoping MIME will fix their TG after the pictures that I sent this this morning.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] crypt0kiddie:
If they left it on my phone I wouldn't complain, I'm going to stop in there tonight and see what they say.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] irock1985:
Has anyone else tried using a blow dryer to get the edges to seal I'm a little concerned about having that much heat on my screen
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I tried that on my Xtreme Guard, Jelly Comb and MIME and it didn't work for me on any of them.
