Getting my new Nexus 6 this week. I want to get a screen protector for it. Came across these Fosman ones. Has anyone ever heard of Fosman? Reviews seem good. I was going to get a glass screen protector, but since the front of the Nexus 6 is curved I'm pretty sure the glass ones will not stick in the corners.

Hello, I'm looking to get the word out that the Zagg tempered glass screen protector for the Nexus 6 has a potential flaw at the moment.
I picked up the tempered glass zagg screen protector for my Nexus 6 from a Sprint store, but I noticed it looked like it was not sticking around the edges of the display after it was applied. When I went back to return it, I came to find out that the similar zagg protector for the Galaxy Note 4 had a similar flaw that needed an updated design to the screen protector. Something to do with curved glass on the display.
The sales representatives at the sprint store and zagg should know about this issue now, so hopefully this will get cleared up. I would certainly like to go with a properly designed tempered glass screen protector.
This has been mentioned all up and down in the "Tempered Glass" thread, where this post should have gone.
Yes, i realized that soon after and had already reported my post as redundent.
My mistake and I wont make any more replies here.
Thread closed at the request of the OP
Does anyone here use a tempered glass screen protector for their Nexus 9? I was using mine on a treadmill and dropped it on it's back thankfully but I'm weary of that happening again. Is so, which brand do you use?

I purchased my Orzyl tempered glass on amazon.
What made me choose this was the rounded edges and thinness of the screen protector and I have had previously purchased a screen protector for my HTC one X a long time ago (so I knew this company is legit).
I accidentally dropped something metallic on the edge of the protector and it didn't shatter but it left a dink. This dink eventually turned into into a cracked screen protector but the crack didnt go everywhere; it just resides on the upper half of my screen and you honestly can't feel the cracked mark. It also fits snuggly but be sure to get it straight because mine is crooked LOL.
If I were to compare tempered screen protectors, this one is definitely the better one out of all I have purchased. The one I bought for my HTC M9 was 7 bucks but it already have light scratches on it already and I can see visible lines on my screen protector as if sand was gently rubbed on it. I can't even see a scratch on the Orzyl screen protector. IMO worth the buy.
My screen cracked while I was on holidays despite it having an Ultimate Shield Tempered Glass protector.
Has anyone else had this same experience of their phone screen cracking despite having a protector on? What have you replaced it with? What would be a better choice?
Both of my Nexus' 4 and 5 had one of those military type thin rubbery feel protectors and nothing has ever happened to the glass despite the amount of times both phones had been dropped. I am hesitant in purchasing one of these for the Sony because it eventually ends up with markings and it has some sort of texture (photo attached).
I think that happens if you hit it too hard, no screen protector can fully protect it all, combine a good tempered glass with a good case, like Ringke Fusion by Rearth.
I got the Copter Exoglass Tempered-glass.
So I got two new cases for my S7. Level 5 Incipio performance series case that has a built in screen protector and a level 4 case which is very slightly less thicker but doesn't have a built in protector.
Anyways the level 5 built in protector fits very flush to the screen and responds well but it is VERY fuzzy and takes away from the clarity of the screen.
The Level 4 is very similar to the level 5 but no built in screen protector and is slightly less thick and slightly less lip but still rated for 12 ft fall.
Anyways would it be safe to use the level 4 without tempered glass or a screen protector? Will the screen scratch without a protector or shatter if I dropped it in the parking lot or tile?
Also I did order some tempered glass and a cheap stick on protector. I see what everyone means by halo. The glass protector was a total farce. I never seen a halo that bad on any phone I've had. Now I can see why most are not using tempered glass. I tried the stick on one and it scratches way too easily.
I say 4 with a film protector. Just got the Zagg Curved and will try it later today. I don't have high hopes for it though.

I tried the film protector too. Stuck a bit better but still a pain around the edges and scratched very easily by touching it and I'm not spending big $$$ on one especially with the curved glass.
The S6, Note 4, Note 5 didn't have these problems with screen protectors. The Note4 had a tiny Halo but nothing major. Nothing like the S7 does.

Which film protector did you try?
I have the Spigen Curved crystal and an Armorsuit case friendly sitting here that I have not tried yet. Later tonight I'll try the Zagg curved but have feeling it's going to be a major disappointment. I had the Note 4 & 5 and both had screen protector problems (halos).

My Note 5 had tempered glass and the Halo was very minimal. Nothing like the S7. Yea I saw the curved glass and it doesn't look impressive or that it will work well. Looks like a waste of money. Besides I don't think that would even work with my case because my case is so snug.
I probably will end up going back to the Defender again. It seems every phone I get I end up going back to the Defender after awhile.
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.

Thanks for the replies. Wonder if anyone is going to just make a damn glass screen protector that curves so it fits this screen. I'd spend a decent amount of money on that.

I voiced the same thought in another thread. Seems like that would solve quite a lot of TGSP problems considering more and more phones are being made with 2.5D glass.

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.
