[Nexus 6 Accessories] INCREMENTAL:
It's gotta be differences in adhesive applied and maybe some phones r tweaked a little more then others. It seemed like to me the adhesive on 1 side of mine wasn't as strong as the the other side. My phone is less then a week old and had a perfect clean screen when I applied it and didn't have to adjust it at all.

I'm very meticulous with stuff like this, OCD kicks in a little. Your the minority that has applied it without issues so I definitely thank there is some manufacturing differences going on somewhere and id say some issues are due to user error but I know for a fact mine was not due to any error, simply wouldn't stick down without halos. Glad u didn't have any issues, I went nuts until finally I fixed it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Raymondlikesroot:
My intelliglass screen protector had a bit of an issue on the side near my volume rockers and power button. It seems that the adhesive in that area is either not present or not strong enough. I've requested a replacement through the online form. Hopefully the customer service is as good as it appears right here. I'll report back!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] pissat4motion:
I've had my new intelliARMOR glass on for close to a month now with no halos...

BUT I did notice a crack in the glass just above the top speaker maybe a week ago.. since then, there is a 1/4" piece that's chipped of that same spot and a 1/16" piece that's broken off just above the sensor as well.

**I have dropped the phone a couple times from maybe 6"-12" but those spots seem to be the only weak points so far

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

I've had nothing but the best customer service from them going back to the original glass that sucked pretty much from the get go lol
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Raymondlikesroot:
DUDE! Best customer experience of my life. Another screen protector is on its way :D
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Raymondlikesroot:
Just wondering, if the replacement was also not up par, does intelliglass send a replacement for the replacement? Anybody have experience with that?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] pdiddyfan:
I'd by another one if it came in white. My first two both had halo and in the same spots. Not too bad though....
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bluefalcon13:
Well, my Jelly Comb is coming in today. Gonna give that a whirl. If it works out great I'll keep the intelliARMOR as a backup. If it halos, I'm gonna put the intelliARMOR on when I get it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bluefalcon13:
Well... Jelly comb is on. Seems my edges are rather curvy.

Edit: it follows the same pattern as the intelliSheild :/
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SilentO:
You got halo all around the edges
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bluefalcon13:
Yup :(

At a T-Mobile store... They are gonna swap it in store as my phone isn't even 7 days old. They pulled the screen protector off and installed it on their demo phone with me here... Adheared to 99% of the phone with a tiny halo right by the upper speaker.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bluefalcon13:
Soooo for the final nail in a coffin, the new phone has VERY minor halos in some spots. New phone was made on 5/12/2015 (one day after my old phone was built). Gonna post some pics soon, but mind you this single glass screen protector has now been removed 4 times, and applied 5 times. The lady got some dust on the screen protector when she applied it to the new phone, and thus removes it an extra time to use some tape to get the dust off.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bluefalcon13:
So the upper right corner is where she lifted the SP 4 times. Also, it is now not strait and mostly shifted left with more shift towards the bottom. This, as far as I am concerned, eliminates the screen protectors as the problem. Same SP on 3 different phones, with vastly different results.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bluefalcon13:
Well, mostly because I ended up with a device that was drastically not flat, I have submitted feedback to Google regarding this whole thread, as well as with photos of my Nexus devices. I don't know if anyone will even respond, much less actually resolve the issues with this, but it was worth the email. Hope something comes from it!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ChristianJay:
Same thing happened to me with the replacement they just sent. Now I'm stuck as the old one which had minor halo issues is already off.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sek0n:
I have had a single white dot down on the bottom edge of the black, under the home button. Wondered what was since I got it.

Mines not noticeable at all unless I look closely, luckily. I'm just curious what's causing them.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] swamp2:
It would be interesting to have some quantified description of all of this (nonsense IMHO) non-flat screen claims. How do you know something is or is not flat either in an absolute or relative sense without both measuring your device and measuring about 20 or so other ones?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bluefalcon13:
For starters, my jelly comb SP has been on 3 different phones, all with varying and different halo patterns. One would think, each phone should have more halos as the adhesive weakens from being applied and removed, and not get better. Furthermore, I have installed two TGSPs on the same device which resulted in a similar halo pattern, on vastly different TGSPs. Different manufacturer, different coverage amount, etc.

Yes, 3 phones were different. But the first and last phones were one day apart according to build date.

Not many people have access to 20 or more Nexus 6 devices, much less 3 (or the precision tools needed to properly measure the devices). From the devices I have seen, there seems to be plenty of evidence combined with this thread, to say, the Nexus 6 screens have very loose tolerances in regards to flatness of the glass.

Ultimately, Motorola, and possibly Google would be in the best position to investigate this.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] bluefalcon13:
I know there are pics of both styles (black boarder and no black boarder) in this thread. It's a matter of how far you want to go back to see them [emoji14]

I read the whole thread, but do not recall where the pics are. The black boarder ones should be a few pages after the deff is being discussed, and the non-boarder SPs should be somewhere in middle of the tread, around where the Jelly Comb was the recommended SP

Twice now I've received IntelliGlass Pro screen protectors with flaws in the adhesive, the first of which was complemented by an actual break in the cover. Since cursing is looked down upon on these forms, I'll just say I'm extremely frustrated at this point.

The parts are undeniably great quality (I did a quick test with this one after I realized there was a flaw in the adhesive, it is seriously durable), but come on guys...a little process control goes a long way.

It's worth mentioning that for the installation process, I wore a fresh pair of nitrile gloves each time to avoid contamination from skin oils. The second time around, the supplied IPA wipe was bone dry, luckily I have a whole bunch of them on hand.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] swamp2:
Irrelevant to whether or not the N6 has a more or less curved screen than any other device

Don't you realize the entirely contradictory nature of this? Again, visual inspection is not the same as hard numbers, not even close.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] cswithxda:
Reporting back after about a month of using the intelliglass. Pure perfection for me. For multiple times I have pressed really hard on the screen when taking off or putting on cases for the phone, and not a single halo spot so far. The only issue I have with this protector is dust getting under front camera and I am more and more lazy so less frequently I use thin paper to push out those dusts. After a week the front camera would be heavily covered by dust :( I enjoy cleaning my pockets occasionally but I can't possibly do it to every pants that I change several times a day (like jeans to home shorts to gym shorts XD). So the dusts at front camera area is really annoying. Luckily I dont use front cam too much and all I need is ignoring it to the best I can.

Meanwhile, for whoever having had multiple replacements on the product and still experiencing halo issue, my pure speculation is there is possibly a problem with the screen itself. My opinion is that it is reasonable to question whether some users have less flat screen. Anyway, I'm glad I'm lucky enough to not have any halo issue now and hope you all find a solution eventually.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] MaLund13:
Got mine in the mail today. Great fit, no halos, even though I had to realign it twice. I haven't tried any other TGSP before, and they are really quite a bit better than the plastic ones I've used before. It's very smooth and clear, however there is a slight raise on the sides which is noticable, but at least it's smooth. I guess I was lucky with my screen being flat enough (I don't know how the jelly comb etc. would be though), because I had no trouble getting rid of bubbles during the installation.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bluefalcon13:
Swamp2, we will just have to agree to disagree. Yes, my 'tests' were not scientifically precise. On the other hand, throughout this entire thread, no one has tried the same TGSP on 3 different devices. Maybe I have terrible luck and have tested 3 outliers. Then again, not many people have access to 3 devices. Ultimately, it appears there is enough evidence to warrant further investigation into this issue.

My hypothesis is that the glass on the Nexus 6 has very loose manufacturer tolerances, which would explain the large number of users reporting halo with the same manufacturer's TGSP. Ultimately, I do not have the funds to test a proper sample size of devices. This is best left to Google and Motorola.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Rox598:
Got my replacement Intelliglass pro and still have massive Halo down both sides and at the bottom too this time round,
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bluefalcon13:
Gonna take a guess and say its in the exact same pattern as before...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Rox598:
Nope this time there's a game in the line going down on the left side but then a big bubble at the bottom.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] swamp2:
We can continue a pleasant discussion as well. Let me ask this question. It is more reasonable that there are significant variations in materials and manufacturing for a expensive high end product made in very large quantities by a company doing a lot of engineering and testing or a very inexpensive add on product made it significantly lower quantities? I'm not purporting any proof here of anything, just what is more reasonable to believe.

You should also consider replacing your term hypothesis with speculation. Let's call a spade a spade...

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

There goes that idea. I would call this a direct contradiction against your speculation.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Rox598:
took the Intelliarmour off and tried re-applying it and the bubbles are in the same exact place as when I put this one on the first time. line straight down the right side and a line half way down the left then stops then continues at the bottom. I can get the bubbles out by applying pressure but then they slowly creep back in :/

Not gonna contact [MENTION=6689878]intelliARMOR[/MENTION] again as I don't think it's worth bothering them. it's either the way the phone is or the adhesive they're using is inconsistent hence this time round the Halo is different than first time round.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SilentO:
I agreed. Both screens from [MENTION=6689878]intelliARMOR[/MENTION] resulted in bubble/halo by the camera. They provided excellent customer service. I appreciate their attempts to help me!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] intelliARMOR:
Hello -

We do have an updated version coming out with notches, that should eliminate some of these problems. Just send us a note with your original order number and let us know you'd like the try the new version when it's available. We'll take care of you.

Thanks!

Just a note - two N6's for one month both using IntelliGLASS Pro glass and literally NO halos at all. I carry them in my pocket constantly and yeah the dust does build up but is easily blown out with canned air. I'm going to get the notch-less model when its available but I'm not bothered by the few specs of dust considering there aren't any ridiculous halos like 99.99% of the rest of the market.

Money spent elsewhere is money wasted, IMO.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Oniska:
After trying 5+ screen protectors i went back to mediedevil (think the name was), to their clear version. :-/
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bluefalcon13:
While not scientifically measured, here is some additional evidence which supports my HYPOTHESIS ( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hypothesis - fits the definition, so lets call a spade a spade...). Observe the curvature of the reflection of a bar-style florescent light on the display of my N6 without a glass screen protector. Also, most of the glass was strait except for the images included.

I encourage others to test my hypothesis as I only have access to one N6. Feel free to pull your TGSP if it is not sitting flush, and take pictures of the reflection of a bar-style florescent light.

On a side note, swamp2, could you explain if it would be possible for a company trying to maximize profit to widen their manufacturing tolerances in order to reduce costs? It appears to me this could be a case of that...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] dgrobe2112:
this did not work on my phone. i used the Zagg protector today. and went to pay a bill, and couldnt get my screen to turn back on. couldnt hang up or anything. had to wait until the phone call ended. couldnt anything. tried this fix. still doesnt work.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] pdiddyfan:
I just took the plunge and ordered my second intelliglass pro. This will be #3 for me. I bought one, which had halo on the sides. I received a second one for leaving reviews and it had halo as well. Thought I wouldn't go wrong buying another one and trying it since I can get a refund from Amazon. Might be overkill, but worth a try. Besides, the halo wasn't the biggest eye sore and I'd rather have a protector than not. Wish me luck, or otherwise maybe my curvature is screwed....
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PhilDX:
did you try using one of those plastic potato chip big clips (or something similar)? put the clip right over the area with halo and let it sit overnight. it permanently fixed halo in two areas on mine. I love this screen protector.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Well, I finally smashed my Deff screen protector today. Cleaning the dust out of the camera & sensor. Wasn't paying attention while using an air gun. Forced air got in where the camera is & lifted it up so far that it folded it in half. Usually I have my thumb just under the camera while doing this, but this time I was distracted & was holding it in the middle of the screen.

Ordered the intelliarmour as a replacement. Hope its as good as the Deff. Including USPS tracked international postage came to $32 Australian, so still fairly expensive.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bluefalcon13:
Roxas,

Do you have any pics of this bubble? I'm curious as it seems I have a defect (small one, located between the v and spacebar when I have the keyboard up. It's not dust, but an imperfection in the intelliARMOR glass. My replacement went on almost perfect. Had a minor halo on the left, which a chip-clip took care of. So other than. The imperfection within the glass, its great.

You should be able to see your curvature in your screen by doing the bar-light test a few posts back. Just observe how bent the bar-light becomes in the reflection
[Nexus 6 Accessories] swamp2:
Interesting test. Automobile OEMs use the same technique with some added quantification for the testing of precision exterior (so called "class A") body surfaces. However, observation alone doesn't give us much information. A comparison among other Nexus devices or other devices would be significantly more interesting.

Reduced tolerances can absolutely be correlated to reduced cost. However, unless a particular specification has an associated and specified tolerance, will that drive cost up. Here, I strongly suspect any screen deformations come from adhesive and assembly factors as opposed to screen manufacturing. Yes either could contribute to screen deformations/curvature.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Rox598:
I do apologise for the quality of the picture the only thing I had to use was the Nexus 9. http://i.imgur.com/anb4tVZ.jpg

it's been on for about 4 days now, tried clips for a few hours to no avail :(
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bluefalcon13:
Before you put another on, would you be willing to do a bar light test and post the results when you pull your TGSP off?

I'm interested to see if the light reflection bends similar to your halos. I wish I would've done the bar light test on my old N6 before I exchanged it... My guess is it would've had way more bends in it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Rox598:
Yeah I can do that, well attempt to anyway. I'll have to wait until [MENTION=6689878]intelliARMOR[/MENTION] get the new batch in as I don't want to pay for another current one has the Halo in this attempt is a lot worse than the first one they sent me.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 2LoWw7:
After reading through some of this thread I guess my best bet is to wait until [MENTION=6689878]intelliARMOR[/MENTION] comes out with there v2 TGSP's?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] pdiddyfan:
Seems like the third time is the charm. I got my 3rd intelliglass pro in the mail earlier along with a Spigen Neo Hybrid (Gunmetal) case (my 13th case). Aligned perfectly and the screen is flawless. No halo whatsoever....
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bluefalcon13:
Did you happen to try the reflection test while you had no screen protector on?

Glad your newest one worked, mine went on pretty well, but had a small halo in the upper left (near where the reflection test showed distortion, and where my Jelly Comb would t adhere well). A chip bag clip fixed that one, and a tiny one on the right side just disappeared on its own. Only thing is there is a tiny defect in my clear glass but its not troublesome enough to get another.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] pdiddyfan:
I tried it out with a neon light while I was eating out. The screen seems like it has tons of curves. Surprisingly, the protector is flawless. No halos or anything. Pressed out from the center and I held the corners down for a bit. Looks good....
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bluefalcon13:
It may have more to do with the max and min curvature than a slight curvature throughout?

IE the peaks and valleys are more drastic, then the TGSP cannot flex enough to prevent halos?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] eldar4uk:
tried Zagg protector today, not super soft but working on sun very nice
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Rox598:
Bought some more clips these ones had a hell of a lot more grip than the other ones I tried but alas the bubbles still come back straight away :( left the clips in the same place for 3 hours just for the bubble to come back and go slowly up the phone.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
Nillkin is the way to go. It was the first full screen one that I bought. I wanted to try intelliglass out so I bought one. It messed up they sent me another one out. It was Ok a lot of dust. So I went and bought another Nillkin never been happier. No dust at all after about a month. Not one spot of dust by front camera. In my opinion it is better than intelliglass Pro. This is about the 13th screen protector that I have bought for my nexus 6 and the best.

Third time is the charm! Huge thanks to IntelliArmor for their continued support. The third one I got went on perfectly, no bubbles or halo at all.

Cool, hope it works out for you. I'm not facing this issue thankfully. Would be great to hear about other's experiences. Also, after adjusting my jelly comb to the center with the TG fully covering the front cam, the front cam is actually clear now. On initial install, I knew about the front cam blurriness worries and it was kinda true, but now that the screen protector is fully covering the front cam, it's clear.

I guess the issue was that the first time I installed the screen protector, the edge of the cutout was somewhat in the way, causing some distortion/blurriness.

No front cam clarity issues with screen protector centered, or maybe even a little to the left. Hope this helps others.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] androidtoy09:
Perhaps, each of your scenarios had different ambient light. On my old N5 with a cheap TG covering the proximity sensor, i only encountered the black screen when I was in dark environment. I have not tested my N6 with Jelly Comb TG in dark environment yet. I'll report back tomorrow afternoon. Wish me luck.

I ordered the jelly comb . It covers the front camera and the phone sensor. Everytime I use the phone the screen goes blank and you cant see the screen. I contacted amazon to send it back. No way i can live with that flaw.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] brizey:
My sensor works ok and my FFC is OK, too. It just looks dumb. I shoved mine as high as I could to make sure the edge of the protector was not over either the FFC or the proximity sensor. I can turn the screen on and off at will while on a call.
