I'm wait first review..
Thanx its ordered
thanks, i ordered too!!!
Count me in as well...
Bought one last night
I purchased a few screen protectors off eBay.... and NONE of them actually cover the entire surface of the screen.
This looks pretty amazing!
But I must say that it feels a bit strange to spray the fluid on the back of the protector and then squeeze it out, can't this fluid get into the earphone, speaker and around the buttons below the screen?
this doesn't look bad, but i think i'll stay with my Brando screen protector, which imo is cool enough, and will get a rubber-ish backplate as soon as one with a correct price will appear.
I have been searching for a skin like this for my Diamond2. I have read that this Zagg skins all have a orange coat on top that makes a very undesirable effect. Any one can confirm this?
And what about phantom skynz? They provide full body protection, but the model for the D2 its not available yet ...

Just ordered.
Thank you bro!
Just installed the InvisibleSHIELD...
I just installed the invisibleShield I ordered from Zagg a few days ago. Installation was a little tricky, but using the solution made it easy(ish). I used a lot more spray than they recommended, but took the battery/sim/SD card out first. I left it drying for 12 hours, and everything switched on fine.
My advice to anyone getting this is to watch some installation vids on YouTube.
I bought it for the screen protector really as I am very clumsy with other WM phones in the past.
The main issue I have, which is a major one, is that the kit for the Diamond 2 is actually 7 pieces which you install piece by piece. Some of these pieces (like the brushed metal pieces on the edge) are very thin and warp easily. I thought when I purchased this that the screen piece would be one part, where the edges would 'fold' around the sides. This is NOT the case. As a result, the actual edges are not covered at all. These pieces don't meet to form a solid shield, but leave gaps between the edges. I have included some pictured to highlight this.
The actual effect on the screen is ok. The screen is bubble-less, but there is a slight sheen on the front. When the screen is on, its not noticable. Also, the shield is a little 'tacky' - not a lot, but it does help feel more snug in your hand. However, for the same reason, the touch screen (when using a stylus) it doesn't feel as smooth as without.
My overall opinion is that if you are looking for something to stop scratching the screen then its great, but if you are looking for something to make your phone indestructible, look elsewhere.
So you bought the protection that coveres the entire phone?
I'm planning to buy the cover for the display only, was the display cover hard to get in place?
agento
7 pieces....so you have 1 piece for backplate,2 in front and 4 for the sides?
Is that correct?
Thanks for sharing the info. Does the IS make it difficult to get the backplate off?
Does it make the front, back or sides feel or look noticeable different?

The front was the easiest thing to apply!

There is the front piece, the back piece, 2 thin strips for the sides and 2 small rectangles for the bottom side near the stylus. So 6, not 7. I can't count!

No, the IS covers the back plate, but it doesn't wrap over the sides. The back slides off just as easy as ever.

The front just looks like a normal screen protector. The back looks glossier. The touch though, as stated earlier, is slightly tackier. The only thing is the gaps where the IS doesn't meet.
Not trying to bum you out, but... the pictures you posted show a pretty messy device. Doesn't have a "clean" look anymore, is this because of the ZAGG?
Can you guys give me any recommendations on any good strong cases and screen protectors, that will stay on even if they are dropped. A link to the website would be good also. I was thinking of getting a screen protector that is like a mirror, where you can see yourself when the phone is not on.
Thanks a lot!
In my opinion, the otterbox is the best. theres a whole thread in this section about them. I've had mine for a while and its held up pretty well. I dropped it twice already and nothing happened to the phone or case. The case didn't even come apart at all.
here is a link to the case
http://www.otterbox.com/mytouch-3g-slide-cases/mytouch-3g-slide-cases,default,sc.html
just got my otterbox today. FREAKING LOVE IT.
You don't get that sound from the case moving around while you're holding your phone.
It's really snug, thinner than other cases. And it's tough.

Yup. Otterbox +1. My wife bought the Body Glove type one from T-mo 2 days after she got her slide and lost the front cover 2 days after that. The Otterbox uses thinner but slightly bigger tabs with better plastic. The tabs don't inhibit the slide action as much, grip better because of the larger surface area, and are stronger because the plastic isn't as brittle.
The only downside is that it was a little bit harder to put on than the Body Glove one, but it only took a few minutes of being patient and attentive to detail.
Body Glove Kickstand Case - deceased
I had the Body Glove case w/kickstand on my phone... it worked well for me until I needed to open up my back cover. One removal was all it took and one of the tabs was gone. I took my time and was gentle with it as well.. the tab just seemed a little too brittle for any removal/reinstall once it was initially installed. I don't have a case on it now, but am interested in the Otterbox one that seems pretty highly praised.

With the otterbox I only had to take it off a couple times, the battery door came with it instead lol. I have no idea how to take it off without feeling like I'm breaking the phone.
I just got my Otterbox case yesterday. I like it, sturdy and durable. I bought it from Amazon for a nice price. I just don't understand why phone cases don't have clips or something to put them on your waist. I don't put phones in my pockets much since I usually have stuff in them.
I might have to get a OtterBox now... The only thing keeping me is a case makes it feel quite bulky. If I can get passed that then I'm sold after hearing so much praise about the OtterBox.

Yeah that's the only thing.
But Otterbox is the only hard case that doesn't come off when I drop the phone. So I loveeeee it.

I'm not a big fan of mirrored screen protectors. From what I've seen, they really alter the way the screen looks when it's actually on, and I don't think it's worth the mirror effect. There may be some which do not do this, but I'm yet to see one.
are there any mirror/reflective/chrome style cases, skins, covers, anything like that for the slide?
I use a black fish bone case that I got off of amazon it legit

I have a mirrored screen protector and it really does alter the refraction of colors. It is not unbarable, but I have ordered a clear one. An added note: the mirrored screen protector requires you to brighten your display more and thus use more battery. If you still want a mirrored protector go to wirelessemporium.com. like 6 bucks and free shipping.

The Flyer magic Pen would work better, for note taking, when using a matt surface. any ideas on a good matt screen protector?
I can confirm the Scribe works better with a Matt screen protector.

Too bad they're not shipping this to Germany. Why on earth are the good things only available in the UK ?
I put a zagg shield on mine and prefer it over the "naked" screen. I like the feel of th zagg when using the Flyer w/wo the pen.

Thank you so much, I already dug through Amazon.de, but I couldn't find any matte screen protector - is that one a matte one? I am after a matte protection in order to receive more natural writing experience as reported.pe
Edith speaking: this is the only matte one available in good ol' Germany. Thanks for the notice! Finally, the Navitech case is shipping here as well .
Well I'm pretty sure it's matt.
But you can also take the one from mumbi. They are available as "antiflex" and "cristalclear" ones... I bet all of them are pretty much the same so I bet you could go for the one I posted before or you can get the mumbi screen protector which is even cheaper.

Could you post where you purchased one in the US?
I just took off my matte screen (GreatShield from Amazon US).
I didn't think it helped that much with using the pen and it really dulled my screen. Maybe there is another brand matte screen that doesn't dull the screen as much as the GS shield does?
Additionally... there is no cutout for the front facing camera.
Tried two matt protectors, this one was easy to apply and does not dull the screen too much but enhances note taking: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004S79VE2/ref=oss_product
I think this is Euro product.
I just applied the GrestShield product from Amazon referenced above... Both posts are the same product. I bought mine from and Amazon UK, but was fulfilled from the US.
I prefer the matte / anti-glare because it reduces fingerprints on large touchscreen devices. The screen protector is made of a thicker plastic which builds confidence from a protection perspective. It does reduce the brightness of the device slightly, but I've had my flyer set on the lowest brightness setting for indoor use. Increasing the brightness should help.
I haven't played much with the pen yet, but I see no added affect good or bad. Again its the reassurance of protecting the screen with a metal accessory in such close proximity. Especially if you plan to use the other end of the pen as a capacitive stylus.
Overall very happy with the screen protector so far.
UPDATE: the screen protector makes the front camera unusable, but mine was such a poor quality I had essentially written it off. But I will keep an eye out for one with the camera cut-out.
I found the matt GreatShield was difficult to apply (caught a lot of air bubbles) and dulled the screen too much, but does make it easier to use the stylus for detailed notes.
I got the GreatShield clear screen protector and it works great. I don't even notice it's on and the pen works great. Now I can apply pressure when drawing and not worry about scratching the screen. Not too difficult to put on. It does cover the front camera, but since it's clear, I don't really notice a difference. I got the screen protector from Amazon in the US.

I find it a little strange to look through. My screen really lost on clarity, it is now all like covered with dust, a bit like through snow or something... definitely not the best experience with the FoliX. Maybe I need to get used to it, but I had a better experience (though no anti-glare) with glossy protectors on my smartphones back then.

Yes my one seemed like at first, but I seem not to notice it now. Also the feel when using finger input (swipes etc) is better.
The mate screen protector deteriorates the clarity of the screen slightly... It like a haze. For now, it's worth the sacrifice for protections sake. But self definitely keeping an eye out for more options in the future.
Can't imagine a better combination if there is, what could it be? The feel and look is outstanding guys.

I'm currently running this combo and I honestly don't believe that I could be happier with anything other than my Black UAG case with the "Nillkin Amazing H+" Tempered Glass Protector. Everything looks GREAT, feels like it could be an oem "industrial" variant of the Note 3, and best of all, SUPERIOR protection all around the phone. I feel much, much more confident about the security and durability of my phone now that I've got it completely wrapped up all the way around. The Nillkin Amazing H+ TGP is a very solid, yet buttery smooth, screen protector that bonds to the screen sooooo well that no one else even knows that I've got a TGP on the front screen. The edges of this protector are sooo smoothly rounded over to where it meets the edges of my Note 3 that you don't really feel any gap in screen coverage at all. You can run your fingers up the side of the phone and they just glide right on up and over to the front of the phone ALMOST without even knowing that the TGP and the frame of the phone are totally separate pieces.
At first I was skeptical that this would work with my UAG case because before I had any kind of screen protector on the phone, it was already a very tight squeeze to fit it in the UAG case. I felt almost certain that any added thickness to the phone itself(the thickness of the TGP) would render my UAG case useless, but that was not the case. Yea, it took a tad bit more wiggling the phone around while trying to stuff it in the UAG case, but it popped right on in there just fine.
Everything fits together just wonderfully and I'm 100% satisfied that I went this route. I have no doubt in my mind that my VERY expensive Note 3 is protected from any drops, scratches, etc.(...not waterproof though =/ ) about as well as it's ever gonna be. Before I had my phone wrapped in this kinda of stellar protection, I would hardly let anyone use my phone for anything at all, let alone even touch it! But now, I feel comfortable enough that I don't hardly hesitate when 4-year old son asks me if I will let him hold my phone to flip through picture albums, watch his favorite movies and TV shows, play Angry Birds, or even draw me a silly picture with the S-Pen. If I ever, and that's big "IF", find myself in the market for a case/screen protector combo for this phone again in the future, I can just stop the search right there, dead in its tracks.....I'll be ordering the UAG case and Nillkin Amazing H+ Tempered Glass Screen Protector and calling it a day!!
....and one more thing....you better believe it...given the product availability and high rate of tech advancements we're currently experiencing, this combo WILL be part of my "arsenal" of accessories for my next phone, whatever that may be...Note 4?

So tempted to get one too after seeing so many positive reviews on UAG case. But there's one thing that bothers me according to some reviews on amazon, has UAG revised on the design and left a cutout for the thermal sensor below the bottom right of the bezel?

I have the same combo but my tempered glass is brando 00.2mm. No problems with fitting and doesnt bury the home button. You will not even notice that it is tempered glass since it is soooo thin. I suggest you consider it.

Where did you get your Nillkin TPG? I've looked on ebay but they all ship from China. I know they are Chinese but I fell more comfortable when they ship from the US. UAG cases are awesome btw. I have the white and black one.

I ordered mine with my Amazon Prime account in the weeeee hours of Thursday, January 16th around like 3:00am-4:00am and got a knock on my door from the UPS man the very next day, Friday, January 17th around 2:45pm....that right there is why I LOVE Amazon Prime!! =) Given that, you don't need to worry one bit about putting your money out there on Ebay to a sketchy/iffy merchant on the other side of the planet in China, while not really knowing if you'll receive your order in 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 1 month...or hell, quite possibly not even at all !! That's why I always try my darndest to stick with the "Fulfilled by Amazon" items on Amazon.com. Sooooo, anyway...lol...I got a little side-tracked there...my bad! :silly:
Anyway, what I was gettin at, was where I got my Nillkin TGP. I ordered it on Amazon and it was a "Fulfilled by Amazon" item, so I didn't have much of anything to worry about there. Just to make things a LOT quicker and a little bit more simplified for ya, I'll point ya in the right direction. Seriously though, click the link to Amazon at the bottom of this post, check out the Nillkin Amazing H+ TGP listing, gravitate the cursor on over towards the right side of the page and click "Add to Cart" and be done with it. A few days later when you receive it and carefully install it, you'll be looking this thread up to tell us just the same type of things that I also mentioned in my previous post..guaranteed.(Well, assuming that everything went well regarding your order, packaging quality, and item shipment, etc.)
Yea, it may only have a few customer reviews SO FAR, but take that with a grain of salt. As soon as I can get a spare chance, I'll also be adding my review for this Nillkin TGP. So don't hesitate to order one of these! Assuming that you know how to install it properly, or at least if you don't already know, do your homework and read all the advice here on these forums, read the instructions that come in the package (if you need to) and take your time putting it on your screen and you should be as happy of a customer as I am! Sooo, anyway, here's the link,,,,finalllllyyyy!!! lol :good:
Amazon: "Nillkin Amazing H+ Tempered Glass Protector"
So after experiencing first hand the poor figment of any tempered glass screen protectors I have deiced to create this OP. I have purchased 3 types of plastic screen protectors from amazon to see which if any will be a suitable replacement. I figured if I buy some and they are terrible I can always return them.
1. Mr Shield clear:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OD...416363968&sr=8-1-spell&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
I had high hopes for these after buying them for my Nexus 9 and having s good experience. The ones for the Nexus 6 are a far different story. The fitting is so poor they cant cover my display. I believe that these were cut very poorly because you can't align them properly to fit even with their tiny size. They have a nice feel and are easy to swipe back and forth on while using the office but if they can't protect my screen then there's no point in having it. (Pictures coming soon)
2. iSmooth:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00O3OSBHI/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1416364063&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40
3. icarez: (coming Wednesday)
These looks just the the Mr Shield screen protectors above, except they are packaged better and come with better instructions. The downside is that they are again cut very small. I have learned that this is due to the curved nature that the ends of the display have, but its rather unfortunate that we are left with a screen that can't be fully protected. These also have a better feeling that the Mr. Shield protectors.
4. Spigen Crystal:
http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Spi...533171&sr=8-1&keywords=spigen+crystal+nexus+6
These are the best plastic screen protectors by a long shot. The fit and finish is far superior to any of the other brands that I have tried thus far. They are very thin compared to the other 3 I tried above. The costing allowing your fingers to slide across it with ease for people who prefer the gesture typing. The screen protector does cover the camera, and proximity sensor. Don't let this discourage you because they both work fine on my phone. The fit is much closer to the curves without causing issues. There is a fix for people with proximity sensor issues in the tempered glass OP. I would recommend these to anyone who wants a nice quality screen protector.
Update: from what I have seen, the Spigen is still your best bet. I have a couple as backups and I couldn't be happier. TG has been and still is very hit and miss but you can't go wrong with the Spigen Crystal screen protectors. I have no issues with my proximity sensor for FFC and its the only screen protector I've used since discovering it.
feel free to add your own choices and a brief description about the quality and whether or not you would recommend it.
I got the iSmooth protectors. A little difficult to install, but quite good once they're on. They feel almost like glass, they have a coating on them to prevent fingerprints too.

Pretty sure the cutout isn't for the camera, but the ambient sensor.
i ordered the invisible defenders. should be here tomorrow just ahead of the phone. never used them before as i've always gone with spigen, but since they're not shipping until next week i went with these. from a spec perspective, they sound every bit as good as the spigen crystals. i'll find out tomorrow/friday

Let us know how they are. The Spigen ones are good from past experience ( I won't buy their TG again) I hope they are offered with prime to make shipping faster.
I was planning on getting a glass protector, but after reading several posts here I see that is a bad idea.
I normally bought Zagg with my S4, but I'm not really sure what kind I want to get with my new Nexus 6. I absolutely HATE finger prints so anything that gets them easy is a no go for me.
for anyone that bought from SuperShieldz on amazon they just sent me this:
Dear Customer
We would like to inform you that the nexus 6 screen protector we sent to you is incorrect for the camera lens. The proper one will be send to you on Next Monday. Sorry and we apologize for any inconvenience.
Best Regards,
Ann
I would stay away from the iSmooth screen protectors. Received mine today and they are not properly aligned for the front camera as the protector covers it. Only reason I'm not returning is because I need something on the phone until the other screen protectors I ordered arrive.
My Xtreme Guards had the wrong camera cutout also. If all these companies have the wrong cutout, were they given the incorrect dimensions from Motorola when they all started cutting these out?

According to iSmooth, yes that's exactly what happened.
Thank you for purchasing our Nexus 6 screen protectors and writing a review on your experience with them. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced thus far with our product. Since we are extremely fanatical about our customers, I wanted to reply back to you so I could explain the errors behind the engineering of the Google Nexus 6 screen protectors.
I will point out that in order for us to get to market by the Nexus 6's launch date sometimes we have to make an educated guess with our screen protectors. This time, we failed with our cutout design.
Below are the key points that will point out where our screen protectors were either botched or made to fit this new device and the reasoning behind it:
1.) The cutout for the camera is a full camera width to the left of the actual camera -- this is obviously a mistake. However, the clarity of the screen protector will still insure that the camera is NOT affected by the screen protector. It is just customary that the cutouts exist. However, there will still be a little notch for no reason on your screen protector. We sincerely apologize for this error.
2.) The screen protector will NOT go "edge-to-edge" but that was done on purpose as there is a curved edge on the Nexus 6.
3.) If it did go "edge-to-edge", then the screen protector will lift up on the edges as it would not properly adhere to the curved edges.
4.) We decided that 95% coverage on the phone was better than having faulty screen protectors.
5.) Our screen protectors were also meant to work with cases which means if we DID cover the edges of the screen, then the case would force the screen protector to lift and cause a lot of bubbling and ruin the screen protector.
Please know that getting a revised cut of our Nexus 6 screen protectors is top priority at iSmooth - our customers are our #1.
If you would like to receive these updated screen protector cuts when we receive them, please email [email protected] with your name, mailing address and Order Number. When we receive them we will promptly email you and mail those corrected screen protector replacements out post haste with absolutely NO charge to you.
Or, should you need anything else or have any other concerns at all, kindly contact me at that same email address - I sincerely want to help and make this situation right by you.
Have a nice Wednesday and I hope to talk to you soon,
Channele
Customer Support Manager

I'm updating the OP it appears like there will be no good screen protectors that are edge to edge with the exception of wet install ones which are a nightmare. I wouldn't risk a wet install with FF speakers but that's just me. I may just get a dbrand front skin to cover the gaps.

I never even thought about that. I liked the Zagg ones but on my S4 there isn't front facing speakers.

Thats what I am worried about the most. The speakers are rather large and I've had bad experiences with wet install screen protectors. They killed my LG G Pad 8.3 (even when I barely put any solution on it, some managed to get into a small gap). Anyway I guess I'll see what else is available.
i just need any of the three screen protectors i ordered to show up. This POS one they put on the phone out of the box is killing me. I swear, would it kill moto (or any other manufacturer) to at least put a half way decent one on the device out of the box?

I'm pretty sure it's not an actual screen protector, just something to cover it until it gets to your door.

Well, I guess I won't be installing the wet ones I just got when I get my device.

I prefer wet install. I get the best install. Plus isn't this phone "splash" proof? (or was that a miscommunication?)
