[Nexus 6 Accessories] MunkinDrunky:
I Just installed my CASEBASE tempered glass screen protector and it took me 10 min of prep (wiping alignment more wiping cleaning etc). It fits very well. I got the install so it looks immaculate! Also it comes with two so I have a back up!

There is however almost no room for error in the width of the protector. It is basically the width of the screen. I used masking tape to help the alignment. I just made a hinge on one side and checked and rechecked at least 10 times.

All in all it looks beautiful with no lifting or hotspots!

Edit(More thoughts):

I took some pics (with my old note ii) of how great it looks.

1) I like that casebase TGSP is slightly smaller that other protectors from the pics I've seen in the thread. I think this helps alleviate and possibility of halos and lifting.

2) Again the size is great of any case one might get

3) On the other hand, size is a problem because you need to be really exact with the installation! Not only was my accuracy high with the width, but the vertical alignment is what I think now is key to no getting lifting at the top or bottom corners. Notice the distance in the pics of the screen protector to the top and bottom speakers. I played around with alignment for a bit until I thought this would be the best alignment (really was just guessing but I think it is perfect in retrospect).

One small detail some may notice, and it is very small-I only saw it in the pics then noticed with my own eyes. On the top right corner there are about 10-11 very very small bubbles(see 4th pic). Since this is on a corner this must be all the lifting I get! Judge for yourselves how good this is or not.

also here are the full res pics https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jv663d426vqhzax/AAAeyWTGQrYZCRr5-Hd1rx2Fa?dl=0

Why oh why is it so impossibly hard to find a good TGSP for this phone??? I just want one to go as close to the edges as possible and only have cutouts for the speakers because I think cutouts over the sensors looks silly...

Is there a better thread with a poll or like a "top 5 tgsp" list or something?? This thread is great for getting feedback and experiences but there's no structure and it's nearly impossible to figure out what the general consensus is on the subject... Thanks in advance!!

I read all 1638 posts on this and none of them can confirm which I should get.

I already had 4 Orzly's and two EZGuardz, all don't work.

Going to drop the ball on the Rhino Shield and hope I get the updated batch.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 8Fishes:
Rhinoshield is not TG
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nicholaschum:
Yep, I give up on TG after all those posts.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stas333:
I give up as well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SilkyJohnson:
Tell me how the Orzly I've had more a month "don't work" ?

They work, y'all are just impossible to please.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] MunkinDrunky:
Ive had some great success if it helps on previous page. Ive noted that I think the dimension of the screen protector are important to how much success one might have. Some fit only the screen and some cover almost all the glass surface it seems. The smaller dimensions I think will help alleviate the lifting and halo probs.

Don't have the other two anymore as I wiped my OnePlus.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
After having so much ill-luck getting screen protectors on this phone went to Sprint and got a Zagg TG protector on yesterday. Way better coverage than the Orzly, but sligh halo on one edge and the corners around the speakers. Oh well. Sprint otherwise got it on perfectly.

I used to have the magic touch and method down even on my Note 2...I dunno what it is about N6 but half a dozen screen protectors of plastic/glass and I never got one on without dust or crap under it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SilkyJohnson:
Not trolling you, but it looks like you just did a bad job. Lol. I don't have those issues, nor do others who have posted pics of the Orzly.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nicholaschum:
No, think about what you said first.

If I did a bad job then I'd have dust everywhere inside the screen protector or bubbles that can't be removed, as well as not being aligned properly. I fully cleaned my phones screen and placed it on using the hinge method. I also did around 40 tgsp installs for other devices including the OPO, N3, N2, N1, iPhone 4/5/5S/6, flawlessly on the first try.

These screen protectors are flawed, and Orzly allowed for them to be exchanged without any pictures requested. Why did you think I'd have the same halo on the top left and right of my phone for each screen protector? Also you can see that it is haloing the entire outer edge of the phone showing that it isn't an alignment error.

This shouldn't be an error, I did far too many screen protectors while intoxicated for my friends and it came out a way better outcome than this... This one just doesn't want to stick down on those edges. That doesn't mean I applied it while drinking, but if it's not working the same way while sober, then either the tgsp is flawed, or I can't apply protectors while sober.... Which is not the case.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
I've said it before & I'll say it again. The protectors are not the problem. The phone is. On some of them, the "flat" part of the glass is not flat. That is why you have halo in the same place every time. You could have fitted the protector upside down & you would still have halo in the same spots.

My theory is that the glass was hand polished, thus varying degrees of material have been polished out of the flat surface, making it impossible for a flat glass protector to sit flat on it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] borguesian:
Love my Jelly Comb
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nicholaschum:
Yes, so back to what the guy was saying, how is it MY problem then?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Radicchio:
Sheesh, Nicholas. nowhere did Stumpy say it was your fault. He stated the fault is in the N6's screen and the variability in the screen from one to another. No need to get so defensive, or offensive.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Sorry mate. I think you got me confused with someone else. Haha. All good.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nicholaschum:
I believe I was talking to SilkyJohnson, Radicchio, if you read behind a page you'll see.

Sorry I didn't mean to come on too hard on you Stumpy, but I thought you were backing up SilkyJohnson's claim of me doing a bad job on my application of the tgsp...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
No harm, no foul mate. I feel your pain, even if I'm not experiencing it. My screen, fortunately, is quite flat, so I'm not having any of the problems you guys are having. My wife on the other hand, has a 2014 moto x, which suffers the same problems, and I've had to resort to cheap plastic film, as I can't find glass that will fit without massive halos.

I placed a straight edge across her screen and had a look with a magnifying glass, and her "curve" starts about 5mm in from the edge. No chance of getting a flat glass to stick to that.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] billycar11:
you can say that again massive halos on my sisters moto x 2014 from body guards View attachment 3167482
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Yep, along the sides, that about what my wife's looks like with aerios screen protector.

That said, the only complaint, which I don't care about, is that it doesn't go all the way to each edge of the phone. They clearly show this and describe it in the last picture. I'm happy with it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] madmuthertrucker:
I've been using Skinomi on my last 2 phones and the wife has 1 too. Very happy with them. Got it off of Amazon.

Fair enough and a strong rebuttal. I guess I got lucky with mine.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] Svid:
Someone tried GHOSTEK TG? link
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sandak:
Has anybody tried Ultimate Shield?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] smacsteve:
I've never heard of them and it's no wonder... It's a UK product and they don't even have a presence on Amazon. I do see they make a tempered glass for the Nexus 5 & 6. If I could order without expensive shipping, I'd be interested.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
Don't want to act like I'm promoting my stuff for vanity's sake, but I just realized that while talking in a quickie video about some Nexus 6 cases I recently got, I also showed and briefly mentioned the Spigen Crystal that we discussed some pages ago in this topic.

Again, if feels like glass to my touch (of course, it's not), but am not sure if that's an acceptable alternative to consider for any folks having a tough time with various tempered glass brands they've tried (might want to skip to about 01:50, which is just before I mention the Spigen):

[YOUTUBE]fxXdh6e_-fI[/YOUTUBE]

I might have described the edge shapes a bit sloppily, come to think of it. Oh well, at least you can see the protector. I showed static pictures of this application earlier in this topic, but sometimes video helps to relate more concretely, I feel.

- ooofest
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sandak:
So I just ordered the Ultimate Shield TG screen protector and I'll see.

I sent them an email with asking about their view on halo effect and their TG protector. They answered, that their protector for N6 is little bit smaller to avoid halo effect and send me photo of N6 with their TP protector on it and it looks fine. They also pointed out, that if I'll have problem with their protector, they will refund my money back,

I really need solution, because the original protector starts wearing off.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Do you think you could upload the photo they sent you please?

---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

Never mind. Just had a look on their website. That thing is tiny.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aboveusonlysky:
Ordered a jellycomb off of amazon. no halo and it doesnt cover the camera or sesnor.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ksaad9:
What brand do you recommend?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
This is the one I am going to get good looking out. This is going to be the best one so far. I did not see any halos at all.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 123noob:
Actually fromthe video I do notice halos around the edges of the glass where it hits the white/black frames of the screen cover. It's not that big of a halo, but I'm assuming about 1-2mm.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ramone360:
Can I see pics please?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aboveusonlysky:
Yeah as soon as I have something to take pics with.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sandak:
Yes, it's smaller but because of it there should be no halo effect I hope. And it still protects the main part of the screen plus it's not covering the sensors or camera..

I will see and post few photos when it arrives.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
Covering the proximity sensor and camera hasn't seemed to impact anything for me, so far. At least, from what I've seen.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] Arunabh:
Hello!!

Has anyone tried to cover the halo with a dbrand or a slickwrap front skin?

Any success?

And if I HAD to order a tgsp for the n6, which would be the best choice?

Orzly or jellycomb or anything else?

[Nexus 6 Accessories] the1dynasty:
So after having my Nexus 6 since Nov 19th, i've decided to stop waiting for a suitable TGSP and look for alternatives... I was super reluctant to get anything other than glass because i love the clarity of glass and i LOVE the feel of it too... And while i have an Orzly TGSP on my 3 Nexus 9 tablets, the N6 version just didn't cut it for me b/c it was short of the curves for obvious reasons... i can say with all certainty that the Spigen Crystal Screen Protector is hands down the best alternative... This post should be stickied or quoted in the OP so nobody has to go through what I went through by waiting for a good TGSP... the one i ordered was only $10 and came with 3... I screwed up my first one... I installed one on my phone and the other on my sisters N6... i just ordered another set as a backup in case i need to replace them for any reason... here's the link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P1HJC2E/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I know this is a tad OT since its not TGSP, but its the best alternative i've found and as a longtime TGSP user, i'd recommend anyone to go this route instead...

attached is the Spigen Crystal installed and the Spigen Neo Hybrid case... if anyone needs more pics, i'll try to grab some close-ups...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 123noob:
Yep I agree as well. For the time being, this one is best right now for both worlds of TGSP and SP.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
Same experience - I screwed up (twice, actually) and then managed to get a very good application down, finally. Ordered another 3-pack of the Spigen Crystal soon afterwards, for spares.

- ooofest
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
I watched this video again 2 times and I don't see any Halo at all I see the edge of the screen that's not Halo. Guess I will have to take one for the team and order one. They are only 35 dollars. I will let yall know how it goes.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] smacsteve:
The last TGSP attempt happened to be the best I've tried yet...

And it's the one that got written off some time back as a "it's got the halo too", but after trying several of the previously mentioned products I ordered a Ghost Glass from MIME USA and what I got was a glass screen protector that went on with a perfect seal and no halo, anywhere. Now, the only issue was a couple of small specks of dust that brought out the daring side of me to lift the glass and remove with removable double sided tape from 3M. Thus resulted the 2 very small spots on the screen that didn't reseal like it was the first time I put it down. I'm very convinced that if I order a replacement and get a clean application on this time it will be a perfect halo free TGSP. I'll include a picture of the current application following this post so keep in mind that there this one isn't perfect now, but it did lay down and seal perfect and halo free.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 123noob:
Hehe if it works like you mentioned, I will get one after too. After failing with like 5 TGSP I gave hope for a good TG now. I am actually going that bodyguardz will come out with the crown for nexus 6 as well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] LuckyHermit:
I've just been using mine naked, and I love it.

I used to swear by screen protectors, but since there are none that actually look good for the Nexus 6 I figured I'd try to live life on the edge and go with no screen protection or case.

Everything is great. In fact, the actual screen seems to be better at not showing fingerprints, and is easier to clean than any screen protector I've used...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] smacsteve:
Here's the pics I promised. Please remember that the unsealed corners were perfect until I decided to mess with it and lift the glass.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] drylightning:
I have the MIME Ghost Glass and it went on perfectly and has continued to look great after about a month. I posted about it way back in this thread.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] a.gu:
I am presently using Jelly Comb glass, and I'm pretty satisfied. Erstwhile, I was using Orzly, and had a pretty undesirable experience with theirs. There was a corner that would not stay adhered to the phone- and my free replacement had the same defect.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] smacsteve:
Sorry to forget your post. I'm kinda shocked that more people on this thread haven't spoken of it or tried it out. I'm guessing that it might be the cost as it's not a discounted Amazon product. Not that there's anything wrong with a good deal, but it seems some are willing to deal with a slight halo for a better deal.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sn0warmy:
Look closer. there is definitely a noticeable halo near the top right corner of the screen. You can really see it when he tilts the phone at 3:03 - 3:04.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
Maybe my eyes are not good here, but wasn't that some reflection off his fingers?

That is probably because it was not pressed down properly. I am sure it will be no problem once you press down and get the air bubbles out.

The hit rate on it was about the same as other 'discounted' amazon products.

Summary of this thread's findings

For those people who have been bemoaning the lack of a clearly identified "best of breed" Tempered Glass Screen Protector, having read through all 170 pages (so far!) of this thread, it seems to me that "success" depends mainly on four factors:

Your individual Nexus 6, and how flat or otherwise the screen is on it;

Your personal tolerance for halos, screen protectors that are smaller than the screen, dust particles, etc;

The quality of the screen protector (and this can vary from batch to batch from the same manufacturer or supplier); and

How good your installation technique is.

There is no "one size fits all" solution - and, given the variation in Nexus 6 screens and the lack of flexibility of glass as a material, it is unlikely that there ever will be.

So if you must have a tempered glass screen protector, just buy whichever is cheapest/easiest to obtain/made by your favourite manufacturer and hope that you are lucky.

I don't doubt for a moment that it worked for you, but the Customer Reviews on Amazon have been far from perfect, so it may not be the right answer for everybody.

Come again?

So you're saying the the followup post by "drylighting" and myself are the only ones who didn't have this problem? I'd hate to suggest you're saying that one of us is being disingenuous about their results of the MIME Ghost screen protectors so I just wanted to understand your point. BTW, although I've not been on this post from the beginning, I have been researching this pretty thoroughly on the Nexus 6 Accessories thread and think I did say in my previous post that I believed that MIME had been written off quite some time ago, but according to the support people there they've revised this screen protector (hence is why it wasn't available on their site for nearly a month). I'm here to tell you it's definitely a worthy choice if not the best choice for TGSP on the Nexus 6!

---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------

What makes you think I didn't read through the site? I've been posting here for some time and I have thoroughly read through the thread on the TGSP for Nexus 6. The hit rate isn't "about the same as other Amazon discounted products. In fact it's pretty short of the others like "Jellycomb" or "Orzly" and what have you.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
I agree. I still have my original EZGuard on mine & this looks like the perfect replacement.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
Although it's true that no solution here is perfect, per my and other mentions here, the Spigen Crystel product seems to offer a good balance of size/coverage and sureness of contact with the display, IMHO.

Many of the negative reviews that I saw on Amazon before trying the Crystal product complained about its length covering the proximity sensor and front-facing camera, while some others complained about its dimensions not actually fitting.

It does appear possible that some people applied their Crystal protector upside-down, which would cause problems due to its low tolerance dimensions for fitting around the relative top/bottom components. As well, I've seen - and many others on Amazon have apparently noticed - that full coverage of the sensor and camera don't appear to inhibit their relative functions. However, due to its tight cut for the phone, I found that you must install the Crystal in an exacting manner at the top, else part of its edge could possibly interfere with the sensor and camera. However, if you fully cover those components and go even 1-2mm too far, then you risk partially covering the earpiece/speaker. It definitely took me a wasted protector to learn how this product is best applied on the Nexus 6.

But, after it is installed, it feels like glass to my touch. Combine that with pictures (and video) that I've shared of my dual-layer case covering the edges and nearly the top/bottom of the protector, I'm quite satisfied with the overall look, as well (i.e., it doesn't add as obvious an extra ridge on top of the glass as some smaller protectors seem to do).

I'm still interested in reading people's experiences with the various glass protectors for this phone model, but am perfectly happy with the Spigen at this time.

I have ordered 3 today that will be a total of 8 of them some where Ok some not. The ones off of eBay are no names. But actually 2 of them no names worked good just a little tiny Halo like at the top. Then you get a new one and take it off and the new one Sucks. Then you have to start over. If I get one that has no Halo I would keep it on. My girl thinks I have a serious problem. Check eBay they have some over there that are cheap so you might buy like 3 at a time and try them out. I ordered 2 from eBay today before I ordered this one. One was 4.85 the other was 5.76.
