I don't think Otterbox is going to release an Alpha Glass for the Note 4. I'm still waiting for an updated status from Zagg; they haven't processed my order yet. How does Zagg maintain their reputation? :confused:

Because we've had about 6 brands of protectors where somebody got an install w/o a halo and then a number of people got halos with the same protector I'll wait to see if others get installs w/o halos before I order anything else.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] RaymondPJR:
I may just order this one (the MIME) and call it a wrap! With my protective case overlapping the edges just a little, I think I can live with this one not covering the whole screen.

That means there is variation from unit to unit and we'll never have one glass too fit them all! That's all I need to know!

Korrekt luckly the unit which had no halo with the nillkin H+ Protector is the n910c version so i kept this :)

Now spigen have to produce a film protector with a very good anti oleophobic dip.

illoom working on Note4 temepered glass protector

Hi Guys, there is still hope. Here is the reply I got from the iloom customer service today:

"Dear Valued Customer,

We are currently undergoing tests for the Note Edge to have a glass protector that actually curves down to meet with the phones Edge! We will announce the release date when we feel that it is ready.

Thank you,

Brendon"

I got my Spigen glas.tr from B&H, and by far it looks the best of any I've tried on my White AT&T Note 4. There is a slight halo along the right and left sides, but it's not even noticeable most of the time. One thing I was VERY impressed with is Spigen has two tabs on the top and bottom ends to hold it while setting it on the screen (you remove them after application), it makes it so much easier to apply! I have yet to see another manufacturer do that.

So, with that said, I will keep it on and wait until iLoome or somebody else makes a perfect one.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Give us some pictures please. Is this Spigen the original one or a redesigned version?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] airmaxx23:
I had only a slight amount (maybe 1/16") of halo on one side and their customer service was great when I contacted them, the fingerprint scanner also worked fine for me.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] deathshead:
Dont listen to anything iloome says..
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] deathshead:
I concur., its garbage and really annoying as its edges are not even rounded..
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] deathshead:
Are these companies stupid or just not care? All this time and effort and still not 1 genius decided to try to make a curved screen protector.

I'm sure everyone would gladly pay $25-$30 bucks for a good fitting piece of glass.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ElAguila:
Iloome now has their screenmate flex available for the note 4. I used it on my note 3 and loved it. The hardness is 8h instead of 9h but it is very thin and not a fingerprint magnet.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
Users of the iloome Flexmate reported it lifted shortly after install. I sent mine back without even trying it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] zen0s:
I confirm this as well. Installation went perfect, nearly no halo but few hours later both left and right sides started to lift up pretty bad. So went from nearly halo free to 2 mm halo... so disappointed and requested refund! Back to spigen crystal... throwing in the towel :(

That was a mistake bc Ive had mine on for going on 3 weeks, front pocket starchy jeans, no dirt, no lifting, no halo. This one works. I scoured this thread before I chose it and don't remember anyone reporting that.

---------- Post added at 12:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------

I concur, I absolutely love mine. Dont know why people are still vacillating on which one to get. It's the only one that hasnt gotten any negs on this thread.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
I probably should have tried it before I sent it back, iloome told me I could. But as you can see from the post on this page someone did have the lifting problem and that's probably the 3rd or 4th poster here and on Android Central forums that has had the lifting problem. You and 1 or 2 other posters said they had no problem.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] demize!:
Maybe you're right.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] zen0s:
I used the hinge method to align perfectly and just laid it on top applying pressure like glass protector. At first everything looked good, extremely small halo on each side but not long after edges started to lift... again this is just my experience. I think my Note 4 has the worst curvature out there because I literally tried everything and everything has halo effect.

Fyi, I didn't make any mistake installing it either. I have pretty good experience doing this and I never had issue till Note 4 :/
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Sam3gX:
My AT&T Note 4 replacement came in today. Tested the Supershieldz and no halo at all on the edges and near the home button. My old Note 4 had halos on all edges and around the home button with the same Supershieldz. I also tested other glass ebay screen protector on both of them to compare and the replacement is a lot better.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Josborne6:
They pulled them from Amazon and their website pretty quick after release I think. B&H photo still has some but based on demand I wouldn't guess they will for long.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
Funny part about it is Spigen actually had one of the better fitting protectors. Someone on Android Central posted a picture of theirs with no halo. They were pulled from the market at least 3 weeks ago. Interesting that they have no plans to come out with a revised version.

Got my rhino shield but it doesn't come with the alcohol like wetnaps. I don't want to install it without a thorough clean. Anyone know where to get the disposable cleaner wetnaps. I don't want to use the wrong chemical that will leave it streaky underneath. Google search rendered old results from the non glass screen era.

Guess you got lucky. there's just a few few reported lifting. Including me. Don't know how everyone here is sucked into this topic when we know there's issues. Not all just some issues, (variances, carriers, white or black colored device, where was your made, etc..) so I'm saying for me it is true the iloome flex 8h didn't work. My experience.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] enfurno:
How is the edge on it? My only time owning the rhino it had a very harsh edge on it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Crypt!c:
Ive heard about all these problems so i resisted getting the glass screen, went to the local shop today and asked for one, just to be curious

There was no halo effect with this particular protector and the shop keeper mentioned its because its flexible glass.

0.1mm flexible glass

Anyone knows where you can get this?

She quoted me 49.90 sgd though

Other than that. Looks good.

Hope more people show up with it
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Josborne6:
Tell me how ya really feel! Lol. Didn't stress about it because the halo is worse than the supershieldz so its coming off anyways. Its actually not off as much as it looks. The shadow makes it look worse but its definitely off to the right. But thanks for your observation! [emoji106]

Wait? I must have not looked hard enough. The fitment took away from the halo. But yes your right there is slight halo. Its better than my bearMotion and spartan glass

I purchased a couple of protectors from cellaris and they had horrible horrible halos, well, I emailed cellaris immediately the next day, and sent them pics etc etc, well they sent out 4 screen protectors from KoolKase .26mm ultra thins and they fit really really nicely. No halo, they are cut with level with the home button which is kinda lame but is fine by me. Fit awesomely and protect what I need.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jagdesh:
It's not harsh at all around the edges it's completely fine since it does go all over till the edge due to the curved bezels of note 4

Its semi soft plastic film which is harder than your average plastic screen protector
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] enfurno:
The feel of the rhino is nice, I hated the edge of it. Are you saying it goes from edge to edge on the note?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] RaymondPJR:
Why are you angry? I've heard it before but had no idea what it meant. It would be nice if the meaning got lost to history. As it is, I could have gone on fine without benefit of that knowledge.

EDIT: NVM, after further thought, I think if he read your link he should have apologized even if he wasn't originally aware of the insult he was making.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] demize!:
Nah I may have jumped the gun. I got the impression he was being a wiseguy but I could be wrong. No need for anyone to apologize I just thought it was odd hearing that as like a malapropism. He seems like a decent guy.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jagdesh:
It does not go edge to edge, it only covers the screen part of it
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] enfurno:
Gotcha, thanks for the details.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
You did jump the gun, by a lot. To me, Guinea is associated with the animal, a piece of money and the nation, I've never heard of it being used as a slur towards Italians, ever, I was being totally honest. I have never lived where there have been a lot of Italians (you can see where I have lived in my info and by my avatar), so why would I have heard of it? I'm English, Welsh, German and French myself. I am a very nice guy, and I hate racism in any form, its ugly and hurtful.

Now that that's been cleared up, let's get back with the screen protector discussion.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] chivamex10:
Just got these in at work (T-Mobile)

Wasn't able to open it up and look at it though. $40
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] WizeGuyDezignz:
No disrespect, but that looks awful. I would rather run the chance of possibly getting a small scratch on my screen than to make my phone look like this to be honest. Just my opinion of course.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] zen0s:
Bit pricey but that looks promising. What's the return policy for screen protector at T-Mobile? Would hate to spend $40 on screen protector with halo and not be able to exchange or return it...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] chivamex10:
Screen protectors are non refundable. Unless it's unopened.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
The description doesn't say anything specific about how it fits on the Note 4, I would contact them and see what they say.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] airmaxx23:
I intentionally took it so that the edges would really show up in the pic so it can be seen that there is no halo. Under normal lighting you don't notice the edges that much.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
That protector is $24.99 on Puregear's website & $17.54 w/ free shipping on Amazon.

I read the reviews from iPhone 5 users and despite Puregear's claim it's fingerprint resistant it's a fingerprint magnet.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] zen0s:
One you saw on their own website is pet film version (not sure why they won't have the glass version listed) but this one is actual flexible glass. Totally different packaging as well. Other sites are listed for $44 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
Puregear doesn't have the glass one on their own website which is odd considering 3rd party resellers have it. I hope somebody orders one and posts pictures of the results. It would appear they have a foolproof method for perfect alignment.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
That does look pretty awesome. Spigen and iCarez have pretty good methods as well, with the two tabs on top that allow you to get it on right with little effort, far easier than the other ones.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] myisf08:
Has anyone experienced the glass screen protectors lifting off the sides and corners while running a navigation app? Every day I run Waze during my commute to/from work for a total of 4 hours. When I arrive to work/home I notice that the screen protector has lifted from the screen. I never had an issue with the screen protectors lifting on my Note 3. Just wondering if its just 'my' phone and I need to return it or a common theme. Thanks.

Just picked one up and had another from amazon delivered. We'll see how it goes. The puregear doesn't look impressive in the box. But after install, I may be wrong.

So here is the Puregear. Garbage! Installs like a piece of cake. But had halo, feels terrible (coating or lack there of), and one of the adhesive stickers left adhesive on the SP. Tested after removing and confirmed it is glass of some sort because it cracked. On to the next one.

I think to have at least a protection for the screen, a screen protector is a must, I go for Zagg when it comes to Note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Josborne6:
Here is the Noot from Amazon

Not a fan of the way they did the home button cutout but this may be the best thus far. Good oleophobic coating, covers more of the glass, has a very small halo on left and right similar to the Supershieldz, covers the front camera (no loss of quality), doesn't stop in the middle of the capacitive buttons.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
Since it seems the screen's edge slope (what causes the halo, or lack thereof) varies slightly from carrier to carrier, ie. U.S. Cellular, Verizon, AT&T, T Mobile, Sprint, I think it'd be a excellent idea for everybody to post what carrier their Note 4 is branded with when they post reviews and pictures of applications.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] borijess:
Applied the updated Xtreme Spartan I received. Should of left the old one on. The new one has halo all around. Sucks was excited for this one to be good cause the first I one had halo on the sides only. Will post pics later.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
Who is your Note 4 with?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] weddywie:
Yeah, I was kinda suspecting that cause the replacement is a little bit wider and taller than the original one. How can a company make it even worse with their revised version? Will be keeping my original one one the phone. Only have visible halo on the sides not top and buttom.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] deathshead:
Yes its crap, has sharp edges too, lightly dropped the phone in the bathroom and it hit the heater right on that sharp edge and killed it,

would have been no damage if it were curved.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] deathshead:
Why do you guys keep torturing yourselves and wasting money?

The only path to perfect fitment is curved glass or some sort of thicker edge adhesive.

These manufacturers are stupid..
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] airmaxx23:
I got my replacement XtremeGuard protector in the mail, this is how it arrived to me. Yes, the package was torn like that when they delivered it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] deathshead:
Its just going to end up in the garbage anyways so it doesnt matter, USPS did you a favor.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] WizeGuyDezignz:
This is exactly what I was just about to post, thank you. Why do people keep wasting money and keep trying to force the issue? With the glass the way it is, none of these protectors are gonna fit right and they all look awful on the phone imo. I wish this entire glass screen protector fad would just die in general, but that's for another thread.

The bottom line, as of now at least, is that only the rubber, wet apply style protectors will cover the glass edge to edge. I have what is quietly probably one of the best protectors on my phone right now made by a company called IQ Shield. It's a rubber, wet apply style protector.... It goes to the edges of the glass and you can't even tell it's on.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] soul777toast:
No, actually you should not use eyeglass wipes as they almost always contain alcohol. All electronics display screens (tv's, monitors, phones, tablets, etc.) and especially touchscreens have a coating on them that can be damaged by harsh chemicals, so you want to avoid ever using any alcohol or ammonia based cleaners (or any other harsh chemical cleaner) on any electronic display. That means no Windex, bleach wipes, and for the most part eyeglass cleaners. There are many products available on the market that are designed specifically to clean displays without damaging the coating, I would recommend just going to your local Best Buy or electronics/phone store of your choosing and looking for a cleaning kit that says it's for screens.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] deathshead:
Plus the fact that its apparent that there are only a handful of actual makers of these glass protectors just sold under

different names. If xtremetech or whatever can sell their glass for $6 bucks shipped im sure they must be buying in bulk for a dollar or less,

Im sure everyone here would happily pay $25-$35 for a proper fit.

If they can curve glass windows they can curve these protectors, but us as consumers need to stop buying these crappy pieces and keep hounding the companies selling then to do it right or dont do it at all.
