If the screen was flat, you wouldn't need to/ wouldn't be able to push it down. If the screen was flat it would sit flush with the rest of the screen. The adhesives are sprayed on. You can't tell me its good in the middle & crap on the edges. You're trying to get a rigid material to bend to a curved surface. Even if the adhesive was stronger, pushing down on the side would lift it on the top & bottom. You can flex the glass, but not in two directions.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bob2300nx:
I never claimed that. Obviously they are using the same adherence material all the way through. The middle sticks because possibly it is more flat than the edges but mainly because it is SURROUNDED by glue; glue is holding it down in every direction. The edges have alot less hold, and yes its possible there is a slight curve.

Regardless I disagree with you, the verizon protector is pretty much the same width as my xtremeguard, if this was an issue with the edges curving then both protectors being same width should adhere the same. If you check this thread and also reddit, that doesnt seem to be the case. How many reports of the verizon protector not working can you find? VS working? Now compare that to xtremeguard or any other protector.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Its this 'slight' curve that you mentioned that is the issue. The manufacturers have deliberately revised their protectors to be smaller to avoid it. Many of their websites mention it.

My xtremeguardz were the original version,which was much larger.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] californiarailroader:
It looks nice, but 45 bucks is way too much for that.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] KnifeSkills:
Just got the Verizon one and its so narrow that when looking at the sides of the screen from any angle other than straight on, you can see behind/under the screen protector. Its quite annoying and after reading this whole thread I'm most tempted to just go naked and put the money I wouldve spent on screen protectors towards insurance deductible for replacement if it ever comes to that.

[Group Buy] Deff High Grade Glass Screen Protector
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ak47nerd:
I've recently bought the Skinomi Tech Glass for my Nexus 6. I had a cheap plastic screen protector installed before deciding on a glass screen protector Besides the holo at the bottom speaker area and a bit on the left side (courtesy of my terrible hand), this protector seems to do its job for me. It feels so much more smooth to glide your finger across it than on a plastic protector.

Tempered glass does not work very well on the Nexus 6

[Nexus 6 Accessories] puertorecon:
Just in case,...some pics.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
so what are the results of the spartan glass recently? they have their 91% off *again* :laugh:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Zorachus:
I am looking for a full glass screen protector, something that covers up the phone as much as possible.

Right now I have the CaseBase tempered glass protector, and they make great protectors, on my OnePlus One it fits the entire phone, and with a case on it, can't even see where it starts or stops.

But the CaseBase on the Nexus 6 is very noticeable, it stops below the top speaker, and ends before the bottom speaker. And this seems like most of the glass protectors for the Nexus 6 are the same like this.

I want to find something that covers all the way to the very top and very bottom, and outer edges of the screen. Which brand glass protectors does that ?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] thacounty:
Deff
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Roigi.Manson:
Does the N6 really need the glass for protection ? and will the glass will stick tightly on the curved screen ?:o
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
All that info you would find if you read a couple of pages of the thread. But, in short. Yes & no.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sek0n:
Got my replacement intelliGlass today. Def a noticeable difference from they're old version. The old version had a halo around the entire screen. The new one fits much better, but there's still a very tiny halo on the sides. The curves on mine seems to go to the edges of my screen. :(

They're apparently making an even newer version, and they said they'd sent me one to test in a few weeks when it's ready. Will update again then.

These guys are great. Awesome CS.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
I posted these pics in the deff thread. Very happy with this. And anyone who gets halo with the larger protectors should try it out. The adhesive is really thick near the edges, so it sticks on the uneven surface. Here is my post.

Wow, that's nice, thanks for the review! I think I will splurge and get one, it looks like it'll be Halo free even for those of us "extra special polishing in spots" Nexus 6 people [emoji16]
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Diocat:
Unfortunately I have already bought the Deff screen protector and worked the adhesive so it is relatively flawless before I stumbled across this. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this model yet. I see that some of the members here have used the standard TGSP that Nillkin makes already with mixed results.

http://www.nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=&tid=&cid=&scid=&id=5109

http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Motorol...lass-Full-Screen-Film-Protector-/291436599661

A lot of people seem to really like their bumper cases and was wondering if this screen protector worked as well as the Deff. As my Deff is working fine for me at this time, I'm considering getting a couple of these as backups if they work just as well. They sure are a hell of a lot cheaper than the Deff.

My apologies if this has been brought up before.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
That's awesome that there is a cheaper alternative, but unless they use the same kind of thick adhesive as the deff, it will probably end bad. I hope it does, so we can buy cheaper. My deff is flawless for now anyway.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] scandalousk:
Thanks for this. Ordered with ems shipping. Rather pay 10 dollars extra for the tracking then having to repurchase because they lost it. Hope it'll get to me soon.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
I just ordered this one just to see what's up with it. I have a fosman on mine now perfect no halos at all. But if I can get one that covers more of the screen I am all in.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] singinfeller:
Obviously the rolled edges on the screen design are causing the halo edges. Zags do the same thing. Unless a manufacturer sculps their glass to fit the screen it will have to be scaled back to where the screen is flat.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] knightshooter:
I think this tg does not have the proximity sensor cut out. So will it be causing the same problem like others which cover it ever since 5.1 update?

Please provide your view will be ordering one soon.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Looks like the speaker cutout extends past the proximity sensor, although the speaker cutout doesn't look wide enough vertically. Could just be their drawings are not accurate though.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
The deff isn't sculpted to the screen. It does go right to the edge of the curve though. The adhesive is extra thick, so it should help mould it to a "slightly" uneven screen. Those with really bad halo problems may still have issues with it though. Mine is perfect. But I will still be awaiting some feedback about the nillkin one as a cheaper replacement should this one ever need to be replaced.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bradputt:
i believe they did that purposely. my normal nillkin SP have this feature too, the speaker cutout is offset to the left to expose the sensors

anyway i ordered the nillkin one. thanks for the heads up!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Blaiser47:
Just found this one too with a sensor cut out.

http://m.ebay.com/itm/291427706123

Not sure which one is the newest, maybe the one with the extended speaker cut out since it is in there official site? Thoughts?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] young0ne:
just bought one now to wait and see what its going to be like
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Novakingwai:
On the Strapya World website my Deff screen protector order from 4/13 has 2 status. At the bottom it says Approved. Then above that it says Pending. Anyone ordered after the 13th get a shipping confirmation?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Diocat:
stumpy352 has touched on this and I actually looked in the description to see if the TGSP had any mods near the top speaker for the proximity sensor. I am not sure if it is an opening or if it is clear glass over it, but it seems that they did something to accommodate the proximity sensor. If it is not an actual cutout, I don't know if it will affect the sensor or not.

[IMG="from description"]http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p517/lalatananran/lalatananran001/2015%20ebay%20photo/cpjiawanmeimonexus6glass5_zpsvzpx9ise.jpg[/IMG]

I just stumbled across this TGSP after the Deff was said and done, and I noticed that there were multiple auctions for this Nillkin protector ranging from ten to fifteen dollars so I do not know if there is an old vs new / bad vs good version or not. Until I received my Deff, I had been using the Spigen crystal plastic screen protector and the film on that covers the proximity sensor and I have never had any issues with it on 5.0.1 and 5.1. However, bradputt has already stated that the standard Nillkin has the cutout there on the standard protector so hopefully it's a cutout on this as well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rpayton1974:
Had the bodyguardz tgsp put on Saturday at the att store. Had some minor halos by the top speaker and top right corner. I put some pressure on it over night and poof, no more halos. I thought for sure once they put it on and saw those halos that I was out of luck, but in the end they went away. Just my 2 cents!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Mayank97:
Just bought a new Nexus 6, and I was looking for a good tempered glass screen protector. I live in India, and I would prefer something off of amazon or flipkart or the likes. Please point me to something you have used or are using, and would recommend. I have searched around, but have been unable to find one which was without poor reviews.

Thanks a lot.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Blaiser47:
Did you read this thread before posting? There are a lot of good details in here. Current fav seems to be deff but nillkin might be good. Not sure if anyone has one in their hands to review yet. Read back past ten pages or so for info.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] thacounty:
To me it looks like the top speaker cutout extends left to allow for proximity sensor on the less expensive ones. I have asked the sellers and one doesn't have any idea and the other is "checking later". I want to try it to see, but I don't want to be out ~$11 if the cutout isn't over far enough.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rndchef:
I have been very happy with the VZ product but have cracked it twice and would like to replace without dropping $27. I am okay with the reduced size to prevent halo from occurring as I experienced that before on another product. Can anyone recommend one that is similar to VZ but purchased off Amazon? I read pages and pages and searched VZ and quite honestly got confused. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bob2300nx:
Just wait for people to report back about the new nilkin that just came out (info a few pages back). It has a black or white faceplate that matches up with the N6 and hides halos. All for $10. The more expensive "Deff" protector has had alot of positive reports and the nilkin has a very similar design so might be worth it to see, its 1/3 of the price.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Novakingwai:
Got my shipped notice about the deff. Can't wait!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mastamoon:
Hey all,

After much looking and reading, I decided to buy a Jelly Comb TGSP from amazon, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QN2X718/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, mostly because the price is right and I needed to get the plastic off the front of my phone (had it on for a month, was getting very dull/scratched up).

Everything seems fine with it.. don't see any lifted corners or blemishes. Managed to get it on with 0 dust under it also. The only issue I have, and its not with this screen protector, is I'm not quite sure how you are supposed to line these things up without a hole or some sort of reference guide. Being that the top has a wide cut out for the proximity sensor and the camera, you don't really get a good target to guide you. First drop was way off to the side.. pulled it up and moved it over a little bit.. was still off. Lifted it one more time and put it down.. was good enough. Didn't want to ruin the adhesive so pushed her down and looks good. The bottom alignment was good.. the top is shifted slightly to the right, but the glass still covers the actual screen. It is bugging me every time I look at it, but neither my wife or my kid could tell anything was off. So Ill leave it till it starts pulling up or something then try a new one.

Overall I'm happy with the fit and feel. It fits fine with my Spigen Ultra Hybrid case also. My issue is due to my lack of experience mostly but still wish there was a better way to lay this thing down exactly where it should go. It would be nice if there was a mechanism that could be developed cheaply that ships with these that you place your phone into, peel the sticker off and push a button/lever that puts things exactly where it should go. I think I saw one for films at some point a few years back, but nothing seems to have come from it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
After reading why would you decide on the jelly comb? When they have one's now that cover a lot more of the screen than the small jelly.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mastamoon:
I didn't want to wait a few weeks for one and didn't want to spend 20+ bucks.

Yeah Its made by them but the proxy has its own cut out mines should be here next week and if its good I may try to buy and bunch and resell them for US distribution.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] wolfen69:
I myself would be interested in how it goes for you. I don't know if you use a case, but the case+protector combo is what I want to know about. I would consider getting it if it plays well with most cases.

I just ordered glass protector from ezguards. It'll probably be here Monday. If it doesn't work out, I'll probably stay with the plastic ones and deal with fingerprints.

Good luck with that. Btw, I'm just down the road in Woodstock. Small world.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] msd24200:
I finally had to take the first ezguard off. It got to where it was causing problems with the proximity sensor. The replacement one has the cutout on the wrong side so I didn't even try it. Just put on the invisible defender. I don't much care for the plastic feel, already missing the glass feel but it went on great and no proximity sensor problems!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] californiarailroader:
I do use a case, right now I'm using the Unicorn Beetle Hybrid (frost clear/blue) from Supcase, excellent case by the way. I'll definitely report on how the Nillkin works, or doesn't work with the case in my review.

The case -

Currently, I'm using the Spigen Crystal Clear screen protectors, they fit, feel and look great on the Nexus 6, if the Nillkin doesn't work out I'll go back to that.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] swamp2:
I ordered the Fosmon one. It installed easily, looked and felt great. Feels just like the screen itself. Unfortunately it began to lift, I guess most call this "halo", although I think this isn't at all the best word for it... It isn't clear if the adhesive is lifting off the device or off of the glass protector itself.

I contacted the seller on Amazon and they promptly sent me a new one, which of course, did the exact same thing. Both of mine consistently lifted only in the upper right hand side but it does grow slowly every day. I contacted them again and they refunded my purchase saying they could not send another protector. I was very complimentary to them about the positives of the screen protector and pointed out that this is likely a design or manufacturing defect. They stated that the manufacturer knows about the defect and are working on a new cut out design to prevent the problem. It's certainly not obvious to me that the cut outs are the problem...

It's really quite hard to believe that there is so much screen protector garbage for sale. Really, these things are like the first Windows smart phones in terms of quality/reliability...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] wolfen69:
Stuff happens, at least you got refunded. I'm hoping my ezguards glass SP is OK. I think it will be delivered tomorrow. Will report back on how it goes.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] swamp2:
Yes, sort of a dichotomy between "first world problems" and truly inexcusably poor design/engineering (not just for this particular product, but seemingly for just about all glass screen protectors).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zevth:
Has anyone tried the Phantom Glass?

http://phantom-glass.myshopify.com/collections/nexus6/products/pg-for-nexus-6

I was thinking of getting it, but shipping for me is almost the cost of the protector itself, so would be great to know if others have tried it, and if it suffers from the dreaded halo.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stureiney:
It is surprising that there are so many bad designs out there... I mean I guess they are all imported from the same Chinese factories, and if the factories got the measurements wrong then we have this issue. But I think that we, on this site, are on a different league from the general populous, since we get these phones immediately, whereas the general consumers just get the phone whenever it's time to upgrade their contracts, mostly by when the phone is readily available and the accessories have been perfected. But, who knows. We'll get the goods at some point.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] swamp2:
I lean toward the idea that this is a materials or manufacturing problem more so than one about the design/shape of the protectors. One reason I believe this is that on my particular device, two screen protectors both only showed halo in the upper right hand side. It's also pretty clear that some part of the adhesive has failed, either adhesive to phone or adhesive to screen protector. I think a stronger adhesive would probably do the trick. I'd also suspect that the vast majority of the suppliers use the same adhesive.

I've run plastic/film protectors in the past, from the diversity of the failures, it might be some time until we get a good product. Here my (pessimisitc/realist) perspective tells me that the manufacturers/suppliers will attempt to use up ALL of their crappy materials before bothering to do any redesign. I do hope to be proven wrong and surprised soon by a no halo design...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
The reason you are getting the halo in the same place each time is because that part of your screen isn't flat. I've voiced my opinion on this before. Some people still think its the protectors fault, but this is a widespread issue on the 2014 moto x also, which has the same design screen curve. (My wife's one is terrible). Those of us that got lucky & got a perfectly flat screen are having no issues with any of these protectors. Those who didn't get lucky are having issues with most, if not all of them. Sure, a stronger, thicker adhesive could reduce the issues somewhat, but essentially its the gorilla glass/custom polishing that is to blame. There are mainly two types of adhesive being used. Chinese & Japanese. The Japanese adhesive is thicker(not sure if its stronger or not) so I would suggest trying one from Japan. I'm using the Deff, which is expensive, but damn, what a nice protector.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] crzycrkr:
The nexus 5, also had the same issue with tgsp early on even though it doesn't have the rounded edges. Many companies solved it with stronger adhesive. Note II with rounded edges also had the problem and also fixed with stronger adhesive. I personally think it's a little bit of both problems
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Yes, you're right about the n5. Right next to the notification light at the bottom. I remember it well. But I still managed to push it out on every protector I got for it. A bit of both problems, probably, but its still shocking that a company like gorilla glass or moto can't produce a consistently flat screen. Like I said, try one with Japanese adhesive.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] crzycrkr:
Yep, that was the spot. Second revision took care of it for me. I've only tried a $7 amazon on the N6 before getting the Verizon protector. The Verizon doesn't lift at the top right where the other one did. I've got a deff on the way. Hopefully the black border isn't just to hide the lift
