I think you'll be impressed. The black border has really thick Japanese adhesive. If you get a bubble/halo in the middle somewhere, just slip your fingernail under the edge closest to it and press out toward the edge as you let it resettle.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
You can see the adhesive in this shot, and the gap in it where the speaker is.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] swamp2:
I highly doubt it. With a very straight straight edge I can visually see that my screen has a bit of a high spot/line down the middle "sloping" on the left and right. It probably is more like a curve but that is hard to tell with this method. This inspection method does not identify my problem spot for the protector to have any more slope/curvature than any other spot. Secondly you have noticed how flexible the glass is in these protectors? They aren't like a rigid stiff piece of thick glass.

So even if this is the issue, again, most people do not have a perfectly flat screen. Thus you have product developers who have developed a device that "works" with a small percentage of perfect, rare devices? Again a rubbish design, no way around it.

Don't buy this either. Glass manufacturing is in general a very precise process. As you know not only these very thin screen protectors are flexible but the glass on the screens themselves is too. I strongly suspect the reason for the slight curvature in the screen is because the place the screen mounts is not flat and the screen simply follows the lines of its mounting location. Perhaps your flat device is actually the one "out of spec".

Come on now, really? You make it sounds like you are/have been involved in the design/engineering here, which you clearly haven't. Saying there are two types of adhesive and they depend on which country your protector was made in is pure speculation at best.

I've heard both good and bad about the Deff. I'm not ready to waste any money here until someone has clearly done a screen protector "right". Right to me means no halos, if you did a reasonably good install and that this is the case for the vast majority of folks.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Yes the glass is flexible, but it can only flex across one plane at a time, not both.

Agreed, rubbish design, and, agreed that it only works with a small percentage of devices.

Perhaps the mount point for the screen isn't flat, who knows? In the end, its the same result. Screen isn't flat. If mines the one " out of spec, I'm glad it is.

I'm just quoting what a wholesale screen protector distributor quoted me while inquiring on a bulk order from aliexpress. They told me they have the protector, and that I could choose which adhesive I wanted, and quoted the same virtues I listed. The price difference for "Japanese" adhesive was huge. $1.99ea/100 for Chinese adhesive. Same protector, but ordered with Japanese adhesive was $4.99ea/100.

Well, I've had perfect results with my screen protectors. No halo on mine. Not saying that's going to be a majority, because I know that its not. I got the deff because it has better coverage, looks awesome and feels better than the factory glass. I'm happy regardless, so everyone here can make their own mind up about what is the real issue. I'm out, have a nice day.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] idiotzach15:
So which glass protectors don't show a halo of unused adhesive? There are just too many to keep track of today. I know some have a black colored outline, which works for me too. So which brands do we know essentially look the best at this point?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] joshm.1219:
Deff and Verizon's. Deff has the outline like you mentioned which hides the halo's for the most part. Verizon's is cut the narrowest, so you'll either get no halo or at least less than you would with any of the other wider protectors.

There's also this protector which has the same design as the Deff but is cheaper. No one has gotten it in yet but a few people said they should be getting it any day, so we will see how this brand pans out. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3089676

[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
Real good I don't have another phone right now to take a picture. But I will in a little bit. My bumper case fits perfectly. It does have cutouts for the sensors. 10 bucks I am happy well worth the money and the little wait.

It's nice to have the whole screen covered. I hate I mean hate the ones that don't cover the whole screen. But it is better than nothing.

So I bought the att tempered glass protector after reading some of the posts on this thread and I'm very hapoy with. Fits great only a small air bubble at the top right below the speaker. Its probably the best fitting glass protector right now.. Little pricey though
[Nexus 6 Accessories] NewMan4Life2010:
I just order this ArmorSuit MilitaryShield Google Nexus 6 Screen Protector. It has the cut out for the camera, proximity sensor and the top and bottom speaker.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] venturizhou:
Yeah but that's a plastic screen protector not a tempered glass one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] androidtoy09:
That's not a tempered glass protector. It's a wet-application plastic film. Completely different materials.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] NewMan4Life2010:
I know it not one but it could help people out until a good tempered glass one show up,
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aznalan15:
Is the protector blocking up the camera? Looks like the edge is half on and off lol.

---------- Post added at 07:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

You not leaving the stock protector on? I been running with is since day one lol...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
My nexus 5 tempered glass protector doesn't have a cutout for the front camera. Have no issues with picture quality at all. My first one had cutouts for camera and sensors & all they did was fill up with dust.

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------

Better to only have speaker cutouts. The rest works fine through good quality glass.

---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

I have been assured that iloome are working on the nexus 6 protector that has the black edge which covers the curved screen like their iPhone 6 version.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Hyatt-dreamer:
I'm confused, isn't that white line or border around the screen protector in your picture what is known as the halo effect? A friend of mine had this on her iPhone 6 and within a few weeks it had expanded with size as more dust got trapped in it and resembled some kind of frame.

If that isn't what a halo effect is, can someone explain if I have missed some further potential problem? I am relatively new to glass screen protectors so am getting worried reading all these forum threads. The first one I ever bought was for my nexus 5 which was fine, and I have not had to buy another one since!

I have ordered a glass screen protector and a case from Orzly and although the case which was shipped by Amazon has arrived, the glass screen is shipping direct from the seller and is not due to arrive for a couple of weeks yet so fingers crossed as I didn't fully appreciate how big a beast this phone is and I'm getting super paranoid whenever I hold it now :rolleyes:

If anyone has received theirs, let me know if its the same as the pictures here. Thanks!

They also had them in stock at my local store :thumbup:

There are some pics I posted a couple pages back for folks with concerns about the halo effect or camera occlusion. No complaints from me, other than the price point...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] purpl3rain:
Getting mine. Any tips on applying? I've always seem to get a fair amount of debris when applying. I've seen some videos of a few different approaches. Looks good btw.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
1) You need to setup a clean room. Go in the bathroom, crank the hot water and let the air get moist like a rain forest. The high humidity will pull dust out of the room.

2) Wear a clean non-dusty hat or doo-rag and sweater. Anything to lessen natural skin dust coming off of you.

3) Prelim clean your phone screen

4) Align the screen protector (outside said room). Get it aligned perfectly. Tape one long edge down with two or 3 strips of tape to make a folding hinge (NOTE leave the protectors backings on). Test swinging it to make sure the protector comes and goes out of the same final place.

5) Go into your cleanroom with phone and protector and protector supplies

6) Clean your screen AGAIN. Be anal. One speck of dust is enough to make a bubble. Wipe down the screenprotector covering stickers too. Then clean the screen again. And AGAIN. Be anal. Humans naturally shed dust.....remember what I said about clothes earlier? Use the bathroom light and examen the glare in the glass to spot dust.

7) Have some scotch tape ready...or supplied dust-removal stickers

8) With the screenprotector on its hinge barely lifted off the screen, start peeling away the protector backing...out from underneath the protector-glass itself (between the protector and the screen). You're NOT wanting to expose the screen-glass side up where it can collect any remaining dust in the air, that is again how you get dust specks and dirty screen protectors. As you go, let the protector settle into position on the screen.

9) As the protector settles, you may find dust specks. this is what your tape is for....use strips and pluck the specks off the glass with tape. Bubbles may appear, lift and reset, working the bubbles out as you go. Work slow and patient like. WATCH for dust.

10) Once the back is fully off, the protector should be perfect on a clean screen with no dust-speck bubbles....any regular bubbles ought to be small, but might need persuading out. If bubbles don't persuade out-it is a dust bubble, and you'll need to lift the protector off (only enough to get at the bubble, not all the way off)and sticker or tape them out. When finally finished...Then remove the front protective sticker and your hinge tape.

BAM. You're done. Perfect screen protector.

I've done the above on 5.5" phones...on 3" GPSes....and on 10" tablets. Above method works on all of them, first time. No wasted screen protectors. Trying to apply freehand in a normal room wearing streetclothes is how you waste your time and money.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] androidtoy09:
Steam up your bathroom then install the screen protector. Hot steam brings dust particles and dander in the air down to the floor. Also look up the Hinge method for perfect line up. Basically, you line up the screen protector on your screen as best as you can then tape it to your phone with a piece of office tape to secure it in place then peel the plastic film to apply.

Good luck
[Nexus 6 Accessories] vivanshah:
https://www.facebook.com/iloome

they make a glass protector for the iphones with rounded edges. I've asked them if they have plans for the nexus 6 and they say they are evaluating demand. Go post on their fb page!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] purpl3rain:
Thanks a bunch. I've seen the hinge method and was going to try that, but will be doing it after showering tonight. :good:

EDIT: Should I apply while room is steamy or after air is crisp and thin again? I think this will help a lot of people having problems applying screen films.

some of you guys all out - i just clean the screen well with clean hands and apply. I never have dust or lint trapped under the screen. /shrug
[Nexus 6 Accessories] lmarr28:
Sorry if someone already posted this, but I can confirm that the Jelly Comb glass screen protector (at least, the one I received) does not have a metal or colored border around the glass. It looks great! Pic attached of it installed on my phone.

Nicely done. How bad does it fuzz the FFC? Is it that noticeable? I'm debating ordering another TG protector and just living with it...since I don't use my FFC almost ever I can easily live with it...but I'm curious
[Nexus 6 Accessories] acheney1990:
Is everyone who got this one having issues with bubbles, seems like I'm heading it a lot.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] StephenP85:
Best I've tried so far. It's edge-to-edge, so the black border is simply hiding the halo. It's a bit tricky to install because precision is of utmost importance.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
I love it now you can't even tell I have one on with my case
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jimmysdg:
Got my YooTech one yesterday, installation was easy as far as getting no air bubbles but the alignment is fairly difficult and i now have 1 pixel of uncovered screen space on the left side, will probably upgrade to one that covers the entire screen based on the last few reviews.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
Well worth it
[Nexus 6 Accessories] romdroid.:
Is it reflective in the sunlight?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] wolfen69:
Just got the ezguards Glass SP and it's nice. It doesn't go edge to edge which is good. No halo effect. It only covers the flat parts. Got it for around $5, good deal. Highly recommend.

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

Any clear protector will reflect sunlight. They haven't invented non reflective clear protectors yet.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] californiarailroader:
Well, I got my Nillkin CP+ Friday, and finally and installed it tonight, and I still have Halo, and in the SAME spots as the other Tempered Glass models. I installed it perfectly too, apparently my "specially polished" Nexus 6 is causing the same issues, I guess it's back to Spigen Crystal Clear, they're not glass, but they have no halo, are smooth like glass and they look great.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Motorol...661?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43daf9996d

Edit- The Supcase Unicorn Beetle Hybrid case is NOT causing it, it was like that before I put the case back on, just in case anybody is wondering. I know I'm glad I got that one, and not the the expensive, Deff one, it was disappointing enough to wait 9 days to get it from China, only to have this happen, I would have been really miffed to have had spent almost 40 bucks on one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] wolfen69:
It's because the SP goes to the edge of the screen. The ezguards SP does not go all the way to the edge and stays on the flat part of the screen. No halo effect for me, and any case has no chance of even coming close to the SP. Mine is absolutely perfect. I recommend you try it. And it was only $5.99 on ebay. Good deal.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] californiarailroader:
Thanks, but I've tried those too, they are as bad as the others (Orzly, YooTech, CaseBase, EzGuard, Jelly Comb and now Nillkin) I've tried. I guess I just got lucky and got one of the "specially polished" Nexus 6's, it looks like for us "special" people there is no glass sp that will work.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Novakingwai:
Really loving my deff glass screen. Nothing else worked for me, had halos in everything. The deff hides it well
[Nexus 6 Accessories] californiarailroader:
Thanks, I think I might try it out!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] djkinetic:
Ugh hoping mine isnt the same "special Nexus 6" ordered about every one out there since I got this replacement from Moto all of them have had Halo issues save the vzw one but that one chipped/cracked after a week, sadly my first N6 wasnt plagued with these halo issues...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
Dam that sucks my nillkin is perfect. I could not be happier guess it's just a crap shoot.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] scoobaspeaz:
I got the one Verizon Wireless sells and it fits perfectly....no halos..nice and smooth with zero issues.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] winx14:
I just got my Nillkin tgsp today. I removed the factory screen film and proceeded to follow the installation instructions.

-There is no halo-ing on my phone.

-It looks identical to the deff, other than the top cut out. On the Nillkin, it's one cut out.

I am fully satisfied, other than the dust that's under the screen protector (I have a dog). If you see the bit of white in the bottom left corner, it was a bad attempt of mine to lift the screen protector and try to get the dust out. I might buy another one and attempt to do a clean install in the future. I probably need more steam in the bathroom.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] rndchef:
Well having read pages and pages, I am more confused than when I started. Not sure if I am one of the lucky ones as my VZ screen protector does not have halo or is it just the VZ is cut so small that it won't? :eek:

The VZ one has chipped twice and now has a crack across the whole screen protector so I need to replace. Would prefer to spend around $10 not $27 at VZ again for something that does not appear to last all that long. Do I go with Yootech on Amazon? The previous Skinomi I bought did not have sensor cut out and had halo. I have never seen this dilemma with a phone in the 10 plus smartphones I have had. Anyone replaced the VZ with a comparable one without :angel:?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Sek0n:
Ordered the new IntelliArmor to replace my old one with a halo. They said they start a shipping this week. Will update when it gets here.

Phantom Glass??

I've had a few of there products seem good quality especially with the higher price tag. Wondering if anyone else has tried the one for the N6 and can let me know if it is worth the premium price tag. Just got my N6 wanna make sure its protected for a long time ya know and don't mind spending the extra if it is worth it.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] djkinetic:
I had the vzw protector. It was great while it lasted the perform it didn't last very long. It was on my phone one week before it chipped and then cracked. Shame cause it was the best fitting for this problematic replacement as just about every glass protector has had halo issues. The vzw will have the least halo cause it's cut very small compared to other brands the issue it's too fragile to cost 30 bucks with tax.

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

The only glass that worked perfectly for me was the vzw protector although it was pricey and very fragile. Also I just applied the nilkhin to my special nexus it hides the halos for the most part but I had to align it just right.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] 97_3:
Ordered the Nilkin CP+, took some weeks to arrive to Europe. It was a tight fit, very good feel to the glass and less prone to smudging than N6's screen. Too bad though that i cracked the TGP when I tried to fit it to the lower speaker. Very fragile indeed, better order two next time. Oh yeah, proximity works as supposed.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] jay661972:
To be honest i dont think theres a good adhesive around the black edges. Im worried about the dust getting into the screen but too early to tell. Im happy for now
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Hmm. I think that's the difference. It looks the same as the Deff, but the Deff has a layer of thick adhesive under the edges. Problem is, there is gaps in the adhesive around the speakers and proximity sensor that let dust get in.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason504:
I have the Deff knock off from China mine looks like it covers more of the screen. Or is it just me. I have a bumper case on mine and I can not tell that I have anything on. I ordered the one you just got it comes in sat. But if it does not cover the whole screen I will be sending it back.
