Verizon has the flexible glass protectors.. they for perfect on the note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] MT0227:
Pics? Which one are they selling that you're calling flexible?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] pgibbons:
I think I am starting to believe there are different Note 4 versions depending on manufacture date because I also tried that one and I still had halos on the sides. The Verizon one also does not have curved edges so it doesn't feel smooth when you swipe over the edges of the protector.

My Note 4 is made on 9/28

And here is some pictures of the Supershieldz from ebay.

I've tried other two brands from Amazon, the SuperShieldz is the least halo, can't really tell when using it/ screen on.

Is it safe to say that halo is least visible on white n4. My charcoal looks horrible

Its gathering dust in the halo. Id say i have the most halo based on photos. About 4mm all around a good 2mm into the actual funtional screen.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mahdibassam:
What is this BS about manufacture dates and etc? People making things up ? This phone is designed with 2.5D curved edges, and no matter what date your phone was manufactured in, it will have this halo effect. Its by design, not a manufacturing fault.

This is the iloome 8h flexible screen protector that supposedly was redesigned to fit the flat part of the screen without a halo.

I'm probably going to be one of the first guinea pigs. I'm just waiting to see if it shows up on Amazon for $3 less on iloome's page.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
I changed my mind, on colors, so I exchanged my Black Note 4 for a White Note 4 today at the AT&T Wireless store in Ukiah, CA. The new info-

Another Zero Lemon with horrible halo. The screen protector seems smaller than my Zagg, but the halo seems worse. But for $30 less than Zagg I'm happy with it for now.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mahdibassam:
Thanks for that, but what makes you say this protector deals with the curved edges? it doesnt say anything on the product page.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
I don't think it does deal with the curved edges I think it just covers the flat part of the screen but the important thing is it doesn't have a halo.

I'll try to find the thread (I think it was on the Android Central forums but it may have been earlier on this thread) that posted an email from iloome explaining that this 8h protector was taking the place at least for now of their 9h protector because it was redesigned to fit the flat portion properly.

There are a couple of posts on the Android Central forums that contain email replies from iloome. One is their acknowledgement that the 9h protector did not fit properly and the other stating the 8h one will be their solution.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jlrx81:
I saw the flexible glass one a few days ago, and after feeling it, it was more like plastic than glass, but it did "flex", I went with the zagg invisibleshield tempered glass (almost twice as much) but it was fantastic, except we noticed the edges and after Verizon put it on I was told bring it back if it didn't "settle" in a few days. I returned it today and was told by the inventory manager that they thought it had been recalled.

FYI this is it

http://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/flexible-glass-screen-protector-for-samsung-galaxy-note-4/

It did not feel like glass at all, the Zagg was premium but @ 39.99, it will be every kind of worth it when the halo thing is resolved.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
So, do you think the new iLoome is the best bet? I think I may order one and cancel my Bear Motion, which isn't in stock until Friday anyway.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
I just ordered one. I'm thinking in that iloome said their first protector was a failure because it didn't fit properly and this one was to be their solution it's as good a choice as any because they were aware of the problem with their original one before they released this one. The only other protector that I've heard about fitting without the halo is the Tech 21 a fellow forum member posted he bought at TMobile and said there was no halo. The Tech 21 isn't available online yet and it costs $35.99. The pictures he posted don't show a halo but they were taken under a low light at a side angle. None of us will know if this protector works until somebody gets one and posts about it. Since I don't have a protector yet I went ahead and ordered it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] evoxsin:
Ill tell you myself

Email bear motion or the vendor whom you puechased from and ask if the one your getting is the revised one.

As far as my first gen bear motion i love the camera and home key cut out but the glass has a 4mm halo all around. I stated earlier that they at first asked all who ordered to return their defective glass. Then a day later they simply said in an email.

Dont send it back were just going to send everyone who ordered glass a replacemenr revised one.

Still waitiglng for my revised one
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] whatthehckeric:
I received my Supershieldz this past Saturday and finally decided to put it on my Note 4 today, and...halo, just...halo everywhere. If it matters, I have the T-Mobile Variant, 10.10.2014 REV1.1
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] kzoak82:
I installed then Supershieldz and have zero halo. I did have to reposition several times to align it perfectly with the screen since it's exactly the same size. However, I'm not impressed. The protector is too short ending even with the bottom of the home button leaving a pretty big gap. I also feel like the capacitive buttons are less responsive, but i think it has something to do with the bottom end point causing me to press in the wrong spot. I had an iCarez regular protector on while waiting for the glass and have to say that the iCarez was better. Even in terms of smoothness. Considering that iCarez was not glass it was very smooth and did not attract fingerprints like others. Plus it extended further down the screen. Just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
Thanks MTY and EVO for the replies! I contacted Bear Motion tonight about the ones up for order now, and got this back-

"Hello

We have already recalled all incorrect ones. These were freshly made. Attached is how it looks on a Note 4 if it is installed correctly. "

I have to say that is awesome customer service, I can't believe how quickly they got back to me! I will post back when I get mine, they will be in stock this Friday, so I should have mine next week sometime. I have to say, the picture looks like that's about as good as it gets, at least until somebody figures out how to make a Tempered Glass protector that covers the curved part, if they ever do.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] evoxsin:
That photo looks awesome. Same cut outs on mine. If it really is as the picture shows then ill be happy because ill look for a case that covers most of the open screen.

Thanks. Hope you get yours also. For now. This may be as good as spigens revised one.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] MT0227:
I popped into the Verizon store on my way home to look into this:

http://www.verizonwireless.com/acce...s-screen-protector-for-samsung-galaxy-note-4/

They let me take it out and hold it against my phone. It's very thin and seems it will adhere to the screen well given its flexibility. There are still coverage gaps on the bezel, about the thickness of a penny, maybe a crack more, all the way around.

I ended up going with a pack of these to go along with my Body Glove Satin case until a better tempered glass solution surfaces. The S Pen works, but definitely has some surface drag compared to glass.

Bear Motion

I bought the original Bear Motion screen protector and was also sent the revised screen protector. I think I did an ok job putting on the screen protector but still had a halo around the edges.

I attached pictures of the second screen protector that was sent to me.

Seeing how different people are getting different result with the same screen protector, results may vary:

-position of the glass protector on the screen

-manufacture variation on the note 4 screen (some may curve earlier then others) (I have an ATT version)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] evoxsin:
That was my understanding from bear motions email. They said "this is how it will fit on a REAL note4"

Like some note4 are fake? Im scheduled to get the revised one today.

From your photo looking at my current glass. It stops adhearing inside the edge of the functional screen. Same as your revised one. Makes me believe ill still have a halo.

Current one has 2mm inside screen halo.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] outlawsys:
no glass for note 4 sigh

Well after reading all the posts I doubt there will ever be a glass protector even the flex ones that will curve around the the screen of the phone and adhere. No manufacturer can re tool his machines to make a concave glass that will fit perfectly, probably not cost effective. The halo granted less prevalent on a white phone makes sense white blends the halo better than the contrast of black phones. Also the don't think the revision of the phones has anything to do with the issues. I will continue to read the posts in the hopes that someone will find a suitable solution...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
So far the only screen protector that has been reported to not have a halo is the Tech 21 which is not yet available online. The forum member that posted about it bought it at a TMobile store. The two protectors that have just been released and are supposedly revised versions to eliminate the halo are the Bear Motion and the iloome 8h Flexmate. I ordered the iloome and the above poster has the Bear Motion on the way. So we'll have to wait and see if either or both of those does the job.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] clanderson:
Keep in mind the only pictures given are those fitted to a WHITE Note 4; much easier to disguise the halo. Just a thought.

I wonder if this means they'll send out a replacement glass one when they figure out the design? :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
So far this is the only glass screen protector currently available that has no halo. It's not yet available online only at TMobile stores. If the iloome 8h Flexmate doesn't work when I get it I'm getting one of these.

The fact that the opening around the home button is not rounded isn't great either.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] princeasi:
Yeah that square cutout for the home button was pure laziness!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
That's why I don't understand the Zerolemon thread about shipping 50 people their protector to test. We already know it's a fail. What's there to test?

If they can come here and start a thread you'd think they would read the reviews that have already been posted about their protector.

Anyone else know about these? I like their ad. http://www.sw-box.com/Ultra-thin-Tempered-Glass-Film-Screen-Protector-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4.html

It shows a hammer going into the display. And, the description says the glass is "explosion proof." I'd like to see someone test that.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] cloudraker:
It doesnt affect the use of the scanner. That being said, i learned from my S5 that if you get one of the cheaper ones that doesnt have rounded edges, swiping your thumb across the scanner will become very irritating. It physically makes your finger sore because you are swiping constantly over a blunt edge.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Kawaisa:
If you want to buy the cheap ones just look for 2.5D in the title. That's the curved cut you're looking for. No need to pay out of the butt for tempered glass.

I noticed that the tempered glass protectors for this phone are especially cheap. The ones for the Note 3 were at least $10 from ebay when the phone came out but they're $3 for the Note 4 this time around.

iloome vs GLAS.tR SLIM

Any opinion on pros and cons of the iloome and GLAS.tR SLIM? Which would you use?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] deathshead:
iloome claims a true edge to edge that goes OVER the rounded screen edges,

This is the only company claiming this design.

All other brands will be a much smaller glass that stops before the edges curve down.

Do i have to post screenshots or? its right on the iloome facebook page. and I believe twitter as well.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] boostedneonsrt4:
it shows it on their website as well. Note 4 has a "Round edges" badge.

Seemed like a good product until I visited the page and saw the 2 negative reviews on the first page:

[Expected more]

"At first I thought it was really great. Easy to install and very clear, but after only a few weeks it seems to be delaminating starting in one corner. Now it looks like there is a big bubble under one corner that I am unable to get out. I expected a little better than a couple of weeks."

[Faulty Product -- BUYER BEWARE!!!!]

...Today, I noticed that there were a few very fine scratches on the glass and that any fingerprints and smudges show up on the glass in contrast with iLoome's claim that the ScreenMate Tempered glass:

*Offers resistance against smudges and fingerprints due to its oleophobic coating. -- THIS IS NOT TRUE

Here's the proof:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/customer-gallery/A2OKXUJ2MV69WW/ref=pd_ys_sf_lf_img

(These are for other phones,but doesn't leave me confident in buying it for the Note 4)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I considered their product for the Note 3, but eventually ended up getting the Mime Ghost Glass(http://mimeusa.com/product/galaxy-note-3-ghost-glass-tempered-glass-screen-protector/)

It has the drawback of having the gap near the top, but I knew about this before purchasing it and figured it would at least not block any of the Note 3 sensors near the top of the phone. Loved it and have had no issues thus far.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Kawaisa:
Rounded edges is different from full coverage. Rounded edges is just a 2.5D cut on the sides.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] kave2:
Found this one Amazon UK.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00...200_QL40&qid=1412037455&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

Anyone ever used them before?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] evolone:
Correct, I keep seeing people write about and relating the tempered glass rounded edges and the Note 4's curved glass. They are completely different things. The 2.5D rounded edges on the screen protectors is referring to the roundness of the sides/edges of the glass, without the roundness they will be sharp and chip/crack much easier. It is not curved glass designed to match the curved glass surface of the Note 4. I don't believe there are any tempered glass screens as of yet with the curve manufactured in, I have looked with no luck, if somebody does know of one please point it out. I forget the company but they have them for the iphone 6 but there's no mention they have done it for the Note 4 in any of their press releases or specs online, so there are only assumptions their Note 4 glass will be curved.

ahhh, yes it's iloome's tech but anything with the curved glass has the "CurveProtect" labeling, not only the "Round Edges" label.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Kawaisa:
iloome is the company. I contacted their CS and they said that they expect that technology to be on the Note 4 protector
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] evolone:
Did they give a time line? As in are the ones on sale now have it, or will it be a future release?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Kawaisa:
It's currently on pre-order so these would be the ones that have it. But I'd still wait for others to be the guinea pigs.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] spinedoc:
Anyone find a thin tempered glass cover with a black portion that blocks out the Samsung logo? They had them for the Note 3. I hate that logo and wish it had a cleaner look like other phones.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] busab:
I'm with you. I haven't found one yet but I hope a quality one with a good Oleophobic coating is released.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Qzic:
Wouldn't this have a lot of reflection and make the phone less usable outdoors or under direct lighting?

While looking at protectors, I saw one that was polarized. That would reduce glare and make the surface less mirror like. I can't remember the brand and didn't write it down because polarization was its only strong point.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Kawaisa:
They do it with most phones to get free reviews pretty much. This one might just backfire on them since their tempered glass is badly designed.

I went into T Mobile today and purchased the Tech 21 Impact Shield Note 4 screen protector after seeing someone post about it in this thread. I thought it was a Tempered Glass protector but it turns out that it is nothing more then a flimsy, thin piece of cheap plastic. For $34.99 this junk is going back tomorrow.

It does have a nifty little plastic alignment tool though. I've taken some pictures so everyone can see what you are getting in this package.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
Thanks for posting that info. I thought it was a tempered glass protector. That explains why it's the only one that doesn't have a halo. That seems ridiculously expensive for a film protector. I have my fingers crossed that the iloome 8h Flexmate I ordered will go on without a halo. This is a real PITA trying to find a glass protector for the N4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Kawaisa:
The iloome just covers the flat area like the Spigen and revised SuperShieldz, nothing special other than it being inferior to tempered glass
