Hey again. I've been using my Zagg HDX for over a month now. I hadn't used the Spen much in the past 2 weeks, but yesterday I wanted to and I was rather surprised of the outcome. The Spen is barely moving on the protector, it feels so sticky. I tried cleaning the glass with the wipes thoroughly - nothing changed. The only reason to this that I could think of was humidity?!?. I have had the phone in my jackets inner pocket and well when you walk around in a large mall, it tends to get warm there. Hence I figured that caused it? I am not sure and I don't know what the hell to do. I don't suppose changing the Spen's tip with a spare one would help?

halp.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] noremac258:
When I clean my note 4's screen the S-pen drags a bit. You just need to keep a little bit of your natural skin oils on the display and the pen will glide.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Venom0642:
Hmm i see a bit of halo tho.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] JiffyReturns:
Yeah, but..I don't really clean the screen every day. So it should already be covered with the abovementioned. And when I see it covered with all sorts of prints then I should not clean it? FYI using just the fingers - it feels really smooth.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] noremac258:
The Zagg is a film protector. All depends on the pressure I guess.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Tab7.7Lover:
Are you talking about the bit at the bottom? I pressed it hard and it now disappeared.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] JiffyReturns:
Pressing gently and normally makes no difference. When it used to glide, now it drags - the movement is "hardened". I'm going to contact Zagg. Also I saw crash_194 mentioning the "weird effect" http://xdaforums.com/note-4/accessories/zagg-hdx-glass-screen-protectors-t2987371/page7. I have some of that too on the top side.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] golfinggino:
I pulled my zagg glass off today it looked terrible I bought another glass screen protector and just put it on and it also does not look good, so I am going to go with a non glass screen protector does anyone have a ghost armor screen protector on the note 4 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Venom0642:
Not sure why everyone keeps buying those tempered glass screen, when moshi glass protector is the only one that has no halo at all which i am using, why don't you try moshi.

My personal recommendation would be the ILoome....... I too had tried a couple of glass protectors and the halo was driving me nuts. I was pleasantly surprised with how the Iloome looks and functions - absolutely no halo or lift on mine whatsoever (precise placement is a must). My only complaint is that the edges are not rounded like the regular glass protectors, but it rarely ever is noticeable in use. It is not even noticeable and feels *almost* like the glass. I say almost because I know it is not true glass, so I think sometimes that affects my ability to accurately describe..... No issues with the pen or finger touch. WAAAY better than cheap film protectors..............
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Venom0642:
Here is The Moshi: http://www.moshi.com/ivisor-glass-for-galaxy-note-4#black

I've tryed every Temperd Glass and they will always give you halo, So i would recommend Moshi Best screen Glass protector Edge to Edge no Halo at all very easy to put on!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Tab7.7Lover:
Lol, being the severly ocd person I am, I readjusted the screen protector and although it's still slightly off, there's no more halo or fuzzy edges xp. I'd consider that good enough.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
I AGREE. These tempered glass screen protectors are all just gimmicks and the companies selling these are wasting your precious time.

I installed the iLoome today, and its a disgrace, I came across halo, silicone residue, and scratch and hairline specks on the adhesive side.

First of all, the Hinge Method is complete nonsense; these companies are trying way too hard to make us all look like fools; I never had issues installing screen protectors the traditional way. Here are the pictures of the iLoome. I'm not sure what to do now, whether I should request a replacement or simply refund. There are streak marks on the adhesive end that don't seem to go away, and I understand the protector is suppose to completely adhere overtime, but you be the judge of the pictures attached, UNACCEPTABLE. I have Beyonce's hit track HALO all over my mind now.

My suggestion is to go with the Moshi Glass iVisor and Otterbox Commuter Series Case, or go with a traditional PET Film (like Spigen's Crystal HD) and use that with an Otterbox Defender Series case. There really is no other choice.

I don't how we all are experimenting with this trash. Moshi is the only good Glass Protector, whereas Spigen is the only good Plastic Film Protector. I rest my case.

Enjoy this video while you're at it,

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Venom0642:
That is correct my friend i tryed iLoome and it looked good but after a week it started to lift so i got a refund , Only one that is 100% free halo is moshi works on Commuter and UAG And Samsung Protective cases with no issue what so ever and love that it's edge to edge can't even notice that there's a glass on it , i am saying this cause you will keep wasting your money on all theses glass protector , the best is moshi, till the Crown comes out which might be as good as moshi, Don't waste your money add up all the money you have tryed on theses glass protectors i bet if you add it up you probably have spended over 40.00 dollars give or take ,

so my suggestion go with the moshi you won't be disappointed here's link one more time: http://www.moshi.com/ivisor-glass-for-galaxy-note-4#black
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
[MENTION=4631220]Venom0642[/MENTION] , I believed you from the start. The iLoome was already in transit when I first came across your initial post. :) I give you respect for speaking to the point and giving us all the practical advice to purchase the Moshi and just move on until something similar comes along like The Crown! :good:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnVUHWCynig

Don't get your hopes up for The Crown. Not only is it .4mm thick, The Crown is an add on component to hide the halo which already exists on the BodyGuardz Pure.

The Moshi is the way to go for now, for those that are in the market for Tempered Glass.

Otherwise, go the PET Route any buy the Spigen Crystal HD.

The Zagg HDX is a no go for me either.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] rookiegenius:
The moshi is nice. But darn... $45? :( so far I've spent like $4 on icarez PET and $8 on a cheap glass protector on Amazon (which is ****ty). Would like to switch to glass because of the feel.

[MENTION=346988]Argun[/MENTION]90: gotta disagree on the hinge method. It's a step up from traditional method. When I first looked at the instruction, I thought "oh, this looks silly" but the result turned out really nice.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Venom0642:
Here's how i see it the note 4 is over 800.00 dollars so i will protect this phone for 45.00 dollars to me it's worth it.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] crash_194:
Going back to the bodyguardz crown, it looks like a decent concept to be fair. I think it's admirable that a company is coming up with a different approach to try and overcome the curse of the curved screen! Lol

I will reserve judgement though until we see how this will work with cases. Also, they are a U.S based company aren't they? Probably be a nightmare to get hold of one in the U.K.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] JippleStar:
Chit your curves start early :gasp: My halo is barely noticeable (if at all) so I'll probably be okay for now, but just out of curiosity, has anyone used the Gear VR with a Moshi installed?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Tab7.7Lover:
Also I noticed after realigning the iloome that my note 4 have more curve on the right side of the screen. When the iloome was slightly right of the screen there are lines down the right side and now that it is slightly left of the screen there are no halo down the left side.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
With the Hinge Method, the protective film that covers the adhesive side before removing becomes an "attractant" to dust and other so-called debris. It's a recipe for disaster, even peeling the film off as you carefully adhere the actual screen protector to the display. Doesn't seem to work for everyone. My display curves evenly on both sides, and the issues with the Hinge method is that it won't work for uneven curved-displays, the end user will have halo on one side and the other will be free from halo.

The BodyGuardz Crown is not going to work with rugged cases like the Defender Series for Otterbox, that's for sure. And there's a lot of market hype, I'd wait for the actual market release, then discuss this so-called "Crown."

If you look at close-ups of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 stock photos on Samsung's website, you will notice that the screen curves right at the point where the actual display area ends. The irony is that my phone looks exactly as the stock photo, even curvature on all four sides. Some owners should feel lucky for getting a display which barely curves at all. However, in reality, there is supposed to be a curve as per Samsung's manufacturing specifications.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] JippleStar:
Oh, I believe you, but chit S: Some people on xda were saying the vzw model (which I have) is bad, but @_@
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jlczl:
No they are not gimmicks. Don't blame the protector manufacturers, blame Samsung. Many of us have beautiful, halo free glass screen protectors on our Note 4 devices. In my case, the Zagg Glass (zero halo, perfect fit).
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mahdibassam:
I would love to try moshi but there's no way to buy it here. I'm in australia , the moshi website doesn't give me any options to buy.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] crash_194:
Are you using the plastic or rubber tips? The grey ones in your box are plastic and in my opinion better suited for using on the hdx. The rubber type tips do seem to have a fair bit of friction against the hdx material.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
I've tried the Zagg Glass, and that was perfect fit, BUT TOO THICK! Really had high hopes for the iLoome.

What is the reply time from iLoome's Customer Service. It's been close to 24 hours!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Are the Alpha and Zagg glass the same thickness?

The halos on this Alpha glass are starting to grow. :eek:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Yes they are, though I feel the Alpha is a tad thicker.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
The Alpha does feel thicker to me. I see the Zagg glass is 0.4mm but can not see the thickness of the Alpha listed anywhere. Let me check the box.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
The Alpha Glass also felt cheap when I first installed it. Not only was it already chipped near the home button area, but the cutouts and protective film (to prevent dust and debris from entering) reminded me one of those cheap tempered glasses you can buy from Alibaba and eBay.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
I can also tell you that it's not as smooth as the Zagg. ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
At least Zagg is working out the kinks. Their Customer Service is a hit or miss though. I was supposed to receive a Glass replacement, but there seems to be miscommunication in the e-mails. Will be calling them. I need the Glass for backup.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
I finally received a response from Brendon (iLoome CS Manager) and this is what he had to say,

All that remains to try now is the Moshi or Zagg Glass (if using with Commuter Series case) or Spigen Crystal HD (or Zagg HDX) with Otterbox Defender Series Case. Was really hoping to see the iLoome without Halo.

I'll likely stick to the Defender for now and sometime in the near future install the Moshi on a Commuter Series case.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Venom0642:
Didn't you get your free replacement of moshi?

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
I'm beginning to question Moshi's Customer Service, never got any shipping confirmation. Did not get my replacement yet. The replacement I'm suppose to get does not count towards my warranty.

I have two of the Latest Zagg Glass coming in this week. I had purchased BOGO Zagg Glass and both had nasty halos. Zagg sends me 2 HDX in place of the Zagg Glass. Now they are sending two of the latest Zagg Glass for the Note 4's, have to return the 2 HDX's or they will charge my card for the two Glass that should be here tomorrow. :silly:

Least I'll have a couple of Zagg glass to play with tomorrow. :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] pham077:
Well it's a newer model so I was hoping they've somehow reduce the halo effect lol

I hope it doesn't make my whites more yellow though, it's quite yellow as it is.. haha
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] smacsteve:
This sounds exactly like what Zagg did with me and I just got my Zagg Glass for the Note 4 (supposed to be their latest in attempt to rectify the "halo" problem) and it's a little bit better, but still a very noticeable halo. Not happy. I don't even think I'm going to bother going back for another one. I'm utterly disgusted with their empty promises. I've gone over to the Tech21 Impactology and I'm staying with that unless Mime gets their stuff together.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] crash_194:
Could you post some pictures of the latest zagg glass you have received please?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
They don't require everyone to return the defective protectors if you've purchased in the last 30 days. It's kinda absurd that Zaggs puts you in this mess. Might as well look elsewhere, use a Spigen Crystal HD PET Film Protector. Or use the Moshi and remove the inbuilt screen protector from the Defender. ;)

The Note 4 tends to tint colors you know thanks to the premature AMOLED technology. :p
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] rookiegenius:
Speaking of tinted screen... I don't know why most reviews rate Note 4's screen the best. The screen has a slight pink tint to it... More obvious in sunlight.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Venom0642:
Hmm that's weird no tint pink or yellow on mines so note 4 screen to me is the best.

I found two protectors like Moshi iVisor for a significantly cheaper price on ebay and amazon:

ebay ($16.99): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Full-Frame-...944?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c958f0ff8

amazon ($24.99): http://www.amazon.com/Moshi-iVisor-...421851659&sr=8-1&keywords=moshi+ivisor+note+4

The ebay one explicitly states it's not the iVisor despite the title and the amazon one doesn't look genuine.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] cjparker:
I don't think the AG (amazon) is the same as the iVisor Glass.

That's what I think too... But AG apparently means anti-glare.

It's mainly present at extremely low brightness at certain angles, and varies from display to display. Some are more prominent than the others, but the gamma problem is present in all Note 4's. It's an AMOLED thing. I would ignore it. :D

Latest Zagg glass protectors in today. They have definitely changed somewhat. :silly: Most noticeable is around the camera area. They might also be a hair shorter but I'm not 100% sure. Have not tried one yet, maybe later tonight.

Interesting, I guess they shortened the cut out for the front-facing camera to make sure everyone knows how to distinguish revised and old.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Looks like smacsteve (#2092) a few post up has the latest Zagg Glass and it looks pretty bad. :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Nothing can be done, there seems to be many variations to how the screen is curved device to device. I'm just glad on my device, the screen is curved "equally" on all four sides. The only realistic solution for optimal coverage is the Moshi iVisor Glass or the standard PET film like the Spigen Crystal HD (at least the clarity isn't distorted much).
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Maybe I'll rip off that Alpha and give the new Zagg a try. :silly:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] crash_194:
I've just looked at the images smacsteve has posted through chrome, they don't show in tapatalk for some reason. That is shocking if that is supposedly revised! Lol it looks as bad as a £5 screen protector I bought of amazon. Am I looking at the pictures right?!

Sitting here wondering if I should pull off the Alpha and try the newest Zagg. :confused: I could end up with even worst then I have now. :(

I'm in agreement with you on this. I don't think with this new curved screen on many new phones e.i. Note 4, iPhone 6/6+, and the other phone that I own the Nexus 6 is having very similar issues, but I'm waiting for a Mime USA Ghost to arrive. Hoping they have had better luck!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Nitemare3219:
I got the iCarez pro .15mm glass and it is pretty perfect. Install was a pain though to get lined up.. and I got it close to perfect but still messed it up. The top is touching the ear speaker and consequently has a tiny halo under the speaker. The rest of the protector, minus the left side has ZERO halo or sticky residue appearance. The left side halo is extremely thin and is spotty along the left side and has gotten better for only be on for 36 hours. A few pages back it was said to give it a few days. If the halo persists I will blame my install yet again because the protector is just a hair off center to the left and that may be causing it to appear.

On my T-Mobile black Note 4. Either way it is WAY better than the thick and large halo Bear Motion crap I had before.

By now, I would have expected every accessories manufacturer to have released their products by now. Will the Mime USA be a 2.5D tempered glass? http://mimeusa.com/product/note-4-ghost-glass-screen-protector/

Mime's return policy is questionable. No refunds if product is opened. No satisfaction guarantee. Does anyone have any experience with Mimes on 2.5D screens? :(

I read a post (in this thread I thnk - but it might have been somewhere else) anyway they suggested iCarez® for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 [0.15MM Thinnest New Glass] Highest Quality Premium Anti-Scratch Bubble-free Reduce Fingerprint Screen Protector Easy Install Product with Lifetime Replacement Warranty -

I tried it and am very impressed - it gave me better screen coverage than any other Glass Screen Protector I have used - NO HALO effect - touch and feel is awesome - installation was a piece of cake - and at $19 - the price isn't too bad either - .15 mm thin - thinnest I have used.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Good to Note. Though thickness is advertised at .28mm (.3mm). If there is no halo, this is a win for the majority, for those particularly that don't use in-built screen protectors in cases.

If I could figure out how to take pictures of the front of my phone with the camera on teh back - I would be happy to - sort of like trying to stick your elbow in your ear -

I might be able to get my wifes camera tonight to take some - will try - the glass is VERY THIN - I think that is why it works so well with no halo - easier to get the edges to adhere with a very thin screen than a thicker one - you barely feel it when you move your finger around the edges - versus the thicker glass screens like Body Guardz -

it is thicker than a FILM Screen Protector - but not much thicker - and it is glass - or so they say - sure feels like glass when you slide your finger across....anyway - I will try to get a few photos tonight when my wife gets home from work.
