I think the big issue with ezguardz is people are putting them on smack dab in the middle like one would expect a screen protector would go, I did the same thing on the first one I installed, seems like you have to put it off to the side a bit for it to go on properly.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] biggiestuff:
Just removed EZguard and installed the jelly comb. I'm very satisfied. I didn't even align it right so there is minute haloing on the left but only if i stare really really hard, but that's my fault. It's a huge improvement over the EZguard and good enough for me for now. Hopefully it doesn't lose it's adhesion over the next few days and change my opinion.

Jelly Comb

Got my Jelly Comb screen protector a couple days ago. Put it on yesterday. Went on easier than I thought it would, took about 2 minutes total. So far so great! No halo effect. No proximity senor problems. Feels and looks great. I'd highly recommend it. Can't beat the $7.99 price either.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
To small looks ugly
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sandak:
Where can I get it for this price? Thank you
[Nexus 6 Accessories] knightshooter:
I had the same replacement and think the top cut out is for the proximity sensor. Guess you have installed it the wrong way.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
They only install one way. All these manufacturers have created this useless cutout on the wrong side.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] knightshooter:
The earlier versions of some TGs had issue with the proximity sensor, so they have given that cutout. And that is not useless.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jhk0215:
You don't seem to understand. The manufacturers put the cut out on the wrong side of the screen protector, so the glass is still covering the proximity sensor and still causes issues
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
You can always in the settings put power button to end call.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] indianajonze:
or get a proper protector that doesnt interfere with basic operations
[Nexus 6 Accessories] knightshooter:
I dont think you have got the idea right. Please look at the picture below in which I placed the earlier version of TG over the new revised version. The cut out is infact for the proximity sensor and not the camera. This has been done coz there were many people complaining that they had an issue with the proximity sensor as there was no cut out earlier and it has been changed to rectify this. And I still think you installed the TG the wrong way.

Correct me if I am still wrong.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] phyrant:
Its not too small or ugly at all. It completely covers the screen. If it was any bigger it would peel up at the sides and create the dreaded halo effect. Also the edges of the screen protector are rounded so I can't feel the edges at all.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jhk0215:
I know there was an issue with the proximity sensor, but they put the cut out on the wrong side. If you put the screen protector on properly (sticky side down) the cut out is on the wrong side
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Nesmall2:
Please correct me if I am wrong, but you have placed the screen protector with the sticky side facing upwards. You must remove the plastic covering that is on top of the adhering side, and then stick it on properly, and that way, the cut-out will in-fact be on the wrong side. I also ordered an EZGuardz protector, and they placed the proximity cutout on the opposite side. They only place one plastic cover and that is on the adhesive side, so I know that I installed the protector the right way, they just place the cut-out on the wrong side of the protector
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jhk0215:
You are completely right. The other guy just doesn't seem to understand properly
[Nexus 6 Accessories] JamieD81:
The cutout being on the wrong side of the sensor really doesn't matter if you are smart enough to install the TG with the phone powered off, I haven't had a single sensor issue phone runs as it did out of the box.

While that's correct you COULD accidentally put it on upside down with the cutout on the bottom of the phone.. haha
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zige:
I just installed EZGuarz TG and it has littlebit bigger cutout than Orzly and it didn't have any halo's so it was just a perfect fit. BUT, TG covered proximity sensor and of course there was issues with proximity sensor. Fortunately they refunded full amount to me (they even replied in 2 hours!) so i didn't lose any money and i suggested to them redesing their tempered glass so it isn't covering sensors.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
I don't understand all the issues with proximity sensors. I have the old ezguardz protector without any cutouts. I installed it with the phone turned off & as long as the edge of the glass is not obscuring the sensor & there is no halo over it, it should calibrate just fine on boot. I've not had any problems.

Its just a shame I can no longer get this version.

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

But every glass protector I've ever had for every phone has had no cutout for the sensor & I've never had an issue.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sn0warmy:
You never reported back. How did the install go? Any haloing? I have had an Orzly TGSP sitting in my nightstand unopened for 3 weeks now. I haven't gotten around to installing it because my Jelly Comb one is perfect except 2 relatively small halo areas. But, if the Orzly installs perfectly, I might go ahead and throw it on tonight.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kingston73:
If I were you I'd keep the jelly comb, unless those small areas are driving you crazy. The orzly is good, no halo's at least but it's a LOT smaller. In a way I dislike it more than the halo because at least with the larger one's they cover more area. I'd maybe keep the orzly as a backup in case you chip or crack your currently installed one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sn0warmy:
Keeping the Orzly as my backup was my initial plan. And now I think I'll be sticking with that. Thanks for your input.

I'd love to have a perfect screen protector on the phone but I do really like the full coverage I have now and the halos don't bother me much since I usually don't notice them and forget about them.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zige:
This is first phone which i have issues when tempered glass is covering sensors, i hadn't like that any other phones. Dont know why this is difference. Maybe sensor isn't that good than example one on Note 4 which i hadn't any issues. This issues come when you are calling, sensor think that it i covered example like it is in you ear so screen turn off and i can't apply it back before other hangs up or i remove screen protector.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
I have installed 4 TG protectors on my N6 and I have not had one problem with the sensors.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 123noob:
Same no sensor errors, just nice ol' halos.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SilkyJohnson:
No sensor or halo issues on Orzly. And to the person earlier saying "to small" (sic) - that's highly subjective. Mine looks better than the Halo battlefields I've seen on here. Lol.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] zige:
What? I haven't reading anybody saying thdy have issues with sensor by using Orzly. It kust can't be issues with it because Orzly don't cover sensors at all because of cutout.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
So=No. It was a typo. Settle down. ?

Damit well I will just send it back thanks for letting me know.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 8Fishes:
Can you please take a front facing photo of your phone and circle the location on where the bump is? I honestly can't tell from the two pictures, but I will check my phone for this.. nonflat area. I havent gotten mine yet but I should later the coming weekdays.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] tbird302:
Yootech works good has cut out for sensors and camera
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Jacob030:
Here's the best pic I could get with wife's note 3. The uneven spot is at the top of the phone. About 2 inches down. You really don't notice it when looking directly at the front tho. The only reason I noticed it was because of the two halos.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] chris23445:
I'm thinking about getting that or another EzguardZ
[Nexus 6 Accessories] RTNDO128:
I picked up a Spartan tempered glass protector from Xtremeguard and I'm not thrilled with the results. It didn't stick on all 4 corners so I can see that gathering dust and whatnot quickly. Also, the cutout for the sensors at the top are on the wrong side for whatever reason.

Excuse the terrible picture, I tried to get the best shot I could.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
Really impressed with Jelly Comb. I had a problem and sent them a email 01/30 at midnight and then they replied to me two hours later at 2 AM in the morning. They shipped my replacement yesterday and received it today on a Sunday.

Attached is the random "crack" of glass that fell on the side of the glass. I never dropped the phone, noticed it after several weeks of use. Jelly Comb sent me a replacement really fast. What was surprising is that when I took off the existing screen protector, there was a LARGE diagonal cut of the glass that was not noticeable when the protector was on.

At the end of the day, great support from Jelly Comb. Just wanted to share this if anyone needed help with Jelly Comb protectors.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
That screen protector is really small man. I would rather deal with a little Halo hear and there than that. Just saying. I have on that I ordered from eBay that is a no name and it has a little Halo at the top and bottom. But it covers a lot more than the jelly comb. But everyone is different if your cool with it That's all that counts.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
Jelly Comb is one of the bigger screen protectors. I like it, the customer service is superb.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
I hear ya I found one that I think would be perfect on eBay it covers the whole screen and sides. But you can't have a case on with it so that's out for me. Pretty sure someone will come out with one that will fit perfectly soon I hope.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 8Fishes:
Wow, yea. I think you can probably qualify for a RMA due to manufacturing defect if the glass isnt flat.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Jacob030:
Yeah, but I'm worried I might get a replacement that has more problems than the one I got now.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] biggiestuff:
I've had both a little halo and jelly comb. I prefer the jelly comb. The halo is much more distracting in my opinion.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] IcOpRo:
I just received my Yootech glass protector, I even ordered regular plastic screen protectors just in case I got he halo effect on my phone, but my installation went flawlessly, I have zero halo effect of imperfections of any kind, as of right now, I just finished installing it at 4:00pm, edges all around the glass are sealed, looks really good :D
[Nexus 6 Accessories] tbird302:
I like mine too fits nice. Even after 3 tries. Could be a little wider. They cut it really close to the edges of viewable screen so just be aware. But still no halos.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] AndyCizzle:
I have this same one, and issues with the proximity sensor during phone calls. I had to remove it, it was unbearable.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] MikeC84:
I just received my second glass and still has the issue of not adhering around the entire edge of the protector. Tweeted them and their response was "no true glass protector will work with a curved screen"

[Nexus 6 Accessories] qnzesc0bar:
Orzly and Casebase are both good. I went Casebase because you get 2 TG for the price of 1.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] situman:
Sounds like a Steve Jobs type of answer.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ghisy:
So I've been reading you guys and it doesn't seem like a good tempered glass screen protector is available yet.

I just watched a video on YouTube about the Orzly one and it doesn't look soooo bad (view attached screen capture). Giving that I'm planning on using the Cruzerlite Bugdroid case, do you think it would be a good fit? It's ok if it only protects the main screen and not all the way to the edges, as long as the touchscreen part is protected.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sn0warmy:
Honestly, I'd just get one of the larger ones and deal with the slight haloing. I've had the Jelly Comb protector on my phone since the day the phone arrived. I've been very happy with it overall. It does have some slight haloing in some spots but does cover A LOT more screen than the Orzly one. Knowing that my screen is almost fully covered gives me great peace of mind and over time you stop noticing the haloing anyway.

I have a brand new unopened Orzly protector in my nightstand. It will stay there until I need to replace the Jelly Comb one that is currently installed. And even then, I still might just order another one that covers more of the screen.

Just my opinion.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Robert_W:
Changed case to Ringke SLIM

Here are some pics with the Ringke Slim Case. I really like it. It fills out nicely

Although only a few have had success with any screen protector, I still stand by the EZGuardz because of the results I got.

My review on the EZGuardz TP Screen Protector:

[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
Nice everything looks good your screen protector is not small and does not have any Halo. Nice case to i have the slim armor case by spigen and I love it. It fits perfect best case I have ever had.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Picao:
I also have a bubble on the right side about an inch down from the top. I have the Jelly Comb on mine and had the bubble on the first protector. I purchased another one thinking I had not applied it correctly and the second one also has the bubble in the same location. I am going to contact Google to see what they can due as this looks like a manufacturing issue of not flat glass.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
You know what I am beginning to think about the tpg screen protectors it mostly depends on how you install it. Cause you have this ezgardz and some people's looks like crap and this one here looks great?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
The problem isn't the protectors. Yes, some have had a bad cut originally. But the problem is in the glass screen itself. There is a huge variation in the "flat" part of the glass. I think this is because the 2.5d edge has been hand polished, and as a result, some screens have various amounts of the flat glass polished out. It would only be minute amounts of material, but a buffing machine would do this. Mine luckily is quite flat up to where the edge curve begins & there is a distinct edge where the curve starts. As a result, I've not had any issues with the glass screen protector i have. Others it seems have more material polished out resulting in a screen that is not completely flat, some up to half a centimetre from where the curve should start.

My advice, if you've had halo problems with a glass protector, you're probably going to have problems with any but the smaller ones. Buy an orzly & save yourself the grief.

But if like me, your screen is flat, you can probably test various ones & find the one you like.

I've still got one of the earlier EZGuardz on mine & no issue at all. Happy, except that because all the companies are revising & cutting smaller because of all the issues, I probably won't be able to get another this size with no cutouts for sensors and camera. I've had no issues with either and think it looks much better without them.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Svid:
Someone managed to get a decent protector that fits pretty well?

Tried nilkin AMAZING H, the results were horrible. Lots of halo effects.

EZGuardz is good? Expecting to recive mine thie week.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
I did not know that people's glass on their phone was varying. I figured they where all the same.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] qnzesc0bar:
It is true. I have gone through a few warranty replacements on my phone, and tried TG on all of them. TG fit onto each one differently.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mustyrash:
I used the nillkin and removed the halo effect by using binder clips and microfibre clothes and not looked back. Its been excellent for me
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rkwhyte2:
So I had ordered an Orzly put it on but had a few halos that I just couldn't make go away so I took it off. Ordered in a Jellycomb after reading some decent reviews here about them. Well it came in today and has been installed. With the exception of one small halo it is perfect. I think a night with the binders will cure the halo but if it doesn't I can live with it. I'll post a picture once I get home wher I have access to a camera.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Jacob030:
Let me know how it goes.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stas333:
Here is the Ezguardz that I ordered a week ago. The protector seems to be cut much smaller than the Zagg one, but it still has the halo effect.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] smacsteve:
The reported variances in the new style of curved screens is the only thing that's makes sense of this "screen-gate" issue. I applaud your insight and make nomination for post of the year award! At least in the accessories threads and the Tempered Glass thread one, but nonetheless!

I've got both the Note 4 and Nexus 6 and the issue is much more noticeable on my Note 4. I've had 2 replacement phone's one the Note 4 and I do recall one having much less of a problem. The question is, do I dare attempt to obtain a replacement based on that issue or make one up? Or do I even bother! Who's to say I'll get something flatter?!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
That, is truly terrible. I still don't understand why this big cutout at the top that allows for a sensor that isn't there & then partly covers the camera. How can they still be pushing this garbage?

But, you my friend, need a plastic protector. That's probably the worst I've seen.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Gungrave223:
That is tragic my friend. I have the same sp on for awhile now and although there is a bit of halo at the top and bottom..nothing that bad :'(
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
No sarcasm intended at all: this topic led me to purchasing a Spigen Crystal screen protector (i.e., not glass) and feeling that might be my best path for now.

I'd rather go for the tempered glass, but wanted more full screen coverage and didn't want to worry as much about the effect on installation+usage of the Nexus 6 rounded edges.

Really, this has been a valuable topic thus far and I really appreciate all that's been shared of people's experiences (good and bad) with the different glass products. I'll keep following in the hope that something catches my interest to buy.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] 8Fishes:
I pretty much combed though this thread as well to see the pitfalls of TG. I was very close myself to getting the spigen crystal film, but bit the bullet and got a jelly comb. It is nearly a perfect install with mild spiderwebbing at two spots. The top right, and bottom left of the top speaker . I should really post some pictures. This is also the first TG I've put on, and I came up with a pretty good process for it. I applied with with the hinge method. I also did not do the humidifier bathroom trick.

1. Clean screen with a screen safe wipe

2. Use scotch tape to pick up dust.

3. Position TG. Tape down the right side.

4. Flip the TG back up, scotch tape again for the dust that was introduced.

5. pull film from TG.

6. flip it back over the screen, make micro adjustments for fit to make sure it covers the active area of the screen.

7. tap it down and let the adhesive do it's job.

Took me about 10 minutes, time well worth spent. Overall I think I caught one tiny dust spec beneath the screen but it's not causing any spider webbing or lift from the TG. Pretty pleased with the application. I'm not sure what the process is for people that get massive spider webbing/halos on there TG, but I am interested to know if they are taking the time to apply it like I did.

Also that whole curved variance could be a real thing... not sure if it can be proven at this point.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 123noob:
I did this method a lot for this phone, and then later combine with bathroom method. None of them gave good results. Even with Orlyz I still have halos. And I will say that I did not mess up installing it. The sides/edges would not adhere at all and even with bigger gap on the second Orlyz I ordered.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
Cool let us know I have went through 3 so far all of them have had a little Halo. The one thing I can not stand is the small ones. I got one from intilliarmor and I send them a email and said it haloed. They are sending me another one. But they said if this one does it that next week they are coming out with a revised one. He said if this one Sucks he will send me one of the revised ones.

Looks like a big long halo down the right side. Could just be the light.

It's the lighting. My edges are all fine except for the two circled areas where you can see a faint spider web action.
