So, I ordered a case and a set of screen protectors on Ebay. But being so picky of not using my pixel without screen protection, I went shopping and found an iPhone Xs Max tempered glass screen protector for $3 at a local TJ Maxx, and what do you know, it almost fits completely there is a small gap, but this is just a temporary fix until I get the Pixel specific ones.
Edit:
It is actually the Xs Max screen protector.

Mind sharing a picture? I'm curious to see the small gap and if it might cover anything necessary to leave open on the 3a XL. Namely, if it's the kind of thing where I can hunt for an iPhone XS screen protector that happens to have a gap in necessary places it might work better.
I currently have a cheap Chinese one on the screen and it has pretty bad edge lift. I've got another couple coming tomorrow that I'll try, but if I can find a decent iPhone XS or similar that is actually good quality and fits... must be better than cheap Chinese crap until we get good options, right?

For three bucks, I don't mind the small, maybe 1-2mm space in top and bottom. The speaker grill is open. The only thing is that the front facing camera is below the screen protector, but I believe it's a fixed focus one so I don't think it will affect it at all.
There is a small part that looks like an air bubble at the bottom right side, which is my fault. I lifted the screen protector after it was on to reposition it and that is where I slipped my fingernail to lift it.

Yes. It does. But I don't mind. It's a temporary solution and camera shots look ok.

Thanks for this info. I went to TJ Maxx and got one of these screen protectors and it works well. The gaps don't bother me at all. The selfie camera works fine through the protector as well.....
That fits it very well, the gap isn't that much larger than the actual 3a xl screen protector I have on.
The small gap actually makes it case friendly, plus the screen protector is full glue so there is no air between it and the screen. That means no rainbow effect, and no dust in between.

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

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.

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 prefer wet install. I get the best install. Plus isn't this phone "splash" proof? (or was that a miscommunication?)
Hadn't seen a thread yet for glass screen protectors, but I wanted to share the one I bought on Amazon and received today. I think it looks great. It has a nice feel and lays down on all of the edges. There is an ever so slight gap to the edge of the phone, but I would assume that that would help if you wanted to rock a case. I'm going naked for now, but I have ordered a black matte slickwrap that I'm excited to apply. I will definitely start a thread as soon as that comes in. Here's the link to the screen protector. I almost got the DMax Armor one, but I went with the KUGI one because the picture only had a cutout for the front facing camera. Turns out the cutout is larger than the picture, but the cutout is uniform and I like it just fine.
http://www.amazon.com/ONETOUCH-prot...sr=1-3&keywords=idol+3+glass+screen+protector
Looks good. I have one coming from ebay. We shall see how that looks.
I got mine amazon and it looks fine.
Any issues installing the glass protector? Is it better to take off the case or can it be applied with it on? Some posts about glass protectors ended up in the thread about what case people are using. FYI.
I purchased the Nillkin tempered glass screen protector from here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/161735243879?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
If you look at the pictures for the screen protector you will see that the slot cut out at top does NOT line up with the camera......is that normal? Look at the last pic here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item-img/...tive-film-for-Alcatel-Idol-3/32371525568.html
I applied it and it seems to work fine...just thought it was strange the cutout didn't line up. *shrug*
The cutout is for the proximity sensor only. I like the idea of added protection to the camera. How are your pictures after the install?

Could anyone with one of the tempered glass protectors let us know how they are? Does it change the quality of the display in any way? Are the whites still as white? Is there more friction when swiping your finger on the screen?
Some reviews have suggested that there's a loss of response with these protectors in place. Anyone seeing that?

I haven't noticed any of those issues with the one I have. I was worried that it would hinder the image quality of the phone but I haven't observed that to be the case. I also don't notice any latency issues with it on. Also, I feel like it does a better job of resisting finger prints than the original screen. Over-all, I'm very happy I purchased one.
I felt like the screen was brighter and also like how resistant it is to fingerprints. It seemed to be to be more responsive to taps, swipes and drags. It was my first tempered glass screen protector and I promptly went out and ordered some for my other devices.

Thanks!! I bought this one too and installed it using these instructions. It looks just like lordlittlebrooks's first post photos, it fits nicely although I wish it was flush with the whole screen. But hey, it shipped fast and the price was right.
David C.
Given that the screen is already raised up a bit by design, I'd be concerned that the thickness of the glass protector would make it stick up even more, and give an abrupt edge to it.
Never had a problem w/ the hard plastic/film ones; just expect to have to throw away and replace them every few months.
Bought the Trianium Tempered Glass, it was labeled on Amazon for S7 and S6 but I needed something asap so gave it a shot.
Check it out here ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. I believe they just took old stock of S6 screen protectors and stuck a S7 sticker on the back.
It fits, but if you installed it it would slice your front facing camera right in half.
I know everyone is going to start looking for the best screen protectors but this is one everyone should definitely avoid.
Thanks for that. So many of these early screen protectors aren't fitting. This is rediculus.

This is a known issues for the note 5. I have been through at least 7 screen protectors and each one leaves a halo effect around the screen. There are not going to be a lot of options to avoid this. The only thing I can recommend is buying any non-tempered protectors and trimming the edges. The only problem with this is that your whole screen will not be covered.

That's not true, I have a Skinomi one installed right now with absolutely no halo. It does not go edge to edge but there is no visible halo with it.
This one wasn't an issue of a halo, it doesn't even fit at all. If you were to fit it to your phone it would install but the front camera is cut off.
But yes you are right, I have ordered some clear protectors as well.

I tried a skinomi on my note 5 had decent halo. I wish I would have taken pictures. It seems like it could be hit and miss depending on the cut of the screen protector and how much beveling on your specific phone. I may be willing to try the skinomi on my s7 it just gets expensive trying 5 different screen protectors.
So far I've tried 5 different screen protectors and they've all been garbage. I want to try the Zagg one but don't really want to waste 40 bucks on something that's hard to return if it sucks.
Has anyone used it? Does it cover the screen properly?
No, it doesn't. I've got about 0.5 mm of uncovered AMOLED on each side.

Could you possible elaborate on which particular brands of screen protectors you got? You know, for research purposes
No, but I was there when my brother and his SO both put zaggs on their piXeL and they did end up with the slightly exposed screen on either side. Very very poor work by zagg. PeehPs even more troubling was that they each had multiple protectors simply not adhering at the edges, which was frustrating. They went to Verizon to complain and were given free exchanges since the verizon folks said lots of people (of all phone types) had been having these exact issue with the zaggs recently. Definitely not touching them myself.
[2-Pack] Google Pixel Screen Protector, Dmax Armor [Tempered Glass] 0.3mm 9H Hardness, Anti-Scratch, Anti-Fingerprint, Bubble Free, Ultra-clear - Noticeable screen on both sides of a perfectly centered protector.
Pixel intelliGLASS HD The Smarter Galaxy Glass Screen Protector by intelliARMOR To Guard Against Scratches and Drops. HD Clear With Max Touchscreen Accuracy. - Noticeable screen on both sides of a perfectly centered protector.
[2-Pack] Klearlook Google Pixel 9H [Scratch Proof & Ultra Clear] Tempered Glass Screen Protector - This was the closest to covering the whole screen, but still not quite. Might have just stuck with this one if I'd realized the others were gonna be worse. Still would have bugged me though.
Google Pixel Screen Protector, Fosmon 3 Pack [Full Screen Coverage | HD Crystal Clear] TPU Sticky Coating Screen Shield for Google Pixel - This is not a tempered glass protector. Because it's so thin it was impossible to get off it's adhesive covers without touching the sticky side, also impossible to get it down centered and without bubbles because it was too thin. But it did cover the entire screen properly.
Google Pixel Screen Protector (5")[2-Pack], ILLUMI AquaShield Full Coverage Screen Protector for Google Pixel HD Clear Anti-Bubble Film - I bought this one the other day but it has not arrived yet. Figured i'd give the wet apply one a try because I can at least center it and it should cover the whole screen. I'll have to see how it feels though.
I put on a wet-apply protector the other day and am quite happy with it. I went with the Skinomi MatteSkin.
I've used matte protectors before and never stayed with them. I'm finding I really like this one, though. It has a satin kind of look that goes well with the black leather skin and colored "G" logo (Slickwraps).

I haven't tried the zag, but I'm using the SuperShieldz and it's pretty good.
I've been reading all the threads in the forum after I brought my OP 5 yesterday (supposed to arrive to me in the next 2 weeks) and I cant find any solid recommendation.
There aren't any brands making screen protectors to our devices and even less reviews.
-I saw people saying to stay away from the original screen protector made by Oneplus due to the few millimeter lost cause by it.
-I looked on the Orzly screen protector and it looked quiet well but after searching the web I saw multitude negative reviews due lack of adhesiv, dot metrix and rainbows showing up on the screen. but some other who claims the protector is completely fine
In conclusion: In the Glass screen protectors section, there is no good product that will be fine with guarantee ?
If so, there is any other kind of screen protector (not glass one's) such as Skinomi or IQ Shield that are recommended?
I have to order any kind of screen protector as soon as possible before my device will arrive.
thanks for your professional support !
Every single option, glass or TPU, sucks. The best option is the non-glass protector that ships applied to the phone. Baby that one as long as you can.

Again, I think this is a case of people who have the issues are the ones you see. It depends on how you install it I guess. I know a few others who have also installed it without the rainbow, but I know people who have installed it and have had the rainbow. At least it is a fully screen protector, that doesnt cut off a millimeter of the screen basically, and at least they aren't a company that blames the user for obvious issues with their TGSP *cough* Oneplus *cough*
Take it from someone who has been through 5+ different screen protectors... About the only one that was semi worth a damn was Orzly. You run into ones that don't fill the entire screen and leave the edges exposed, don't stick, cover the front camera or ones that just flat out don't end up sticking. I wish I didn't end up taking off the one that the OP5 came shipped with but oh well lesson learned. As I said as of right now the only semi decent one is Orzly but even that one I had issues with the glue towards the edges peeling so the screen wouldn't respond because the protector was coming off the screen a little. Still though - Orzly or Manufacturer screen that was originally on the one are your best options at this point.
I really like the IQ branded film protector. I've had no problems with it and I only really notice it when I swipe along the edges and feel the film.

I'm using the clear one. It's definitely not as smooth as glass but it's smooth enough. It's more smooth than a glass screen without a oleophobic coating. Fingerprint residue is minimal. The only case I have is the sandstone one from OnePlus and I have no problems with it.

Using the clear IQ protector here too. So far it's the best I've found. I've used the official TGSP, Orzly TGSP, and a couple other cheaper TGSPs. The wet application film screen protectors are the way to go for this phone it seems. Helps a lot with finger prints and I haven't had any issues with it not being slick enough.
think ill just go nude and use a thick case lol. haven't had any scratches on my s8+ which also has gorilla glass 5.
man do i hate how all phones have curved glass of some sort.
Damn those curves.. Let's hope that maybe in a few weeks we will finally get a proper screen protector.

I went and removed the factory installed protector, it was a bad idea. Now I have small hairline scratches on the bottom right corner. I've now ordered a tempered glass in Amazon to hide the scratches.
The one that came with the phone is fantastic imo. I haven't enjoyed tgsp since my nexus 6p because of the 2.5D curved glass craze, no tgsp fits any phone good anymore. Axon, Samsung (ROFL, you thought OUR screen was bad?) , I haven't looked at the screen protectors for the G6, but the screen doesn't appear to be 2.5d so that's a step in the right direction..
When my stock screen protector gets unusable, I'll buy the 30$ crash guard from rhinosheidl ?????? Just to see if the hype is real...
Unless someone already has photos of it....

Any idea when the crashguard is shipping. I don't wanna drop that type of money without looking at reviews.

No idea whatsoever, my stock screen protector from oneplus is still in fantastic shape, so I don't imagine ordering four a couple more months at least.
The ones for the oneplus 3 are 13 dollars on amazon, and ship with prime in the US.. So I imagine in a few weeks the price will become more better.
I've recently seen this on the taobao site. GOR branded TSP. I've used their flat ones on other phones and am quite satisfied with the performance. They have 2 versions, one with the black border, one with a edge sealant sort of thing. I'm planning to get the sealant version next month since my option to add items for cheap shipping is exhausted for July....
If anyone's in China or has bought one, some feedback would be appreciated.

Its says in the description, "Not edge to edge protection. (NOT FULL COVERAGE)" so there is no false advertising
