Well I have bad news for the xtreamguard glass, mine came broken. Also it came with a alcohol swab for blood draw and a little piece of carbord I guess is supposed to be a squeegee but not micro fiber cloth.

cant attach pics :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] clanderson:
I have US Cellular which is the same as Verizon (offset mic) and I have a halo with most protectors. Don't feel too bad.

Though I may try that Bear Motion just for the heck of it...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] evoxsin:
As for the spartan glass ..they do come broken.

But they are good with replacing them. Their packaging sucks.

Im getting a cas similar to the otterbox with a built in screen cover.

If it turns out good. Ill leave the glass with halo test screen sensitivity and call it a day
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] raiu:
Be very carful pulling them out!!! I have glass all over my desk now!!! Very very small shards.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] raiu:
This is what the xtreamguard Spartan glass would look like,
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] evoxsin:
Yes. Same vendor.

When i contacted pro ebiz trough amazon reps from bear motion reply.

Yellow packing with a black carton casing protecting it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] k.babymamma:
Which case, may I ask?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] borijess:
Here are some pics from the zerolemon beta test. Plenty of halo and the glass was to large for my uag case.

Man i think i have halo.

I no pro in sticking this. As usual heading down to mobile to try another or maybe non glass protector.

:confused: But is there bad effect upon removing glass protector?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Nitemare3219:
Got my Bear Motion today - close to perfect install, just a hair to the left... but it doesn't matter anyway because the halo is present ALL around. Camera cut-out also isn't centered the best in this design.'

This glass also isn't very smooth. You can feel that it's rough just with your finger or fingernail - nothing like the Spigen glass I had on my G3. It's EXTREMELY obvious when using the S-Pen...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] MUHAHAHAHAHA:
Anyone else order a Nillikin off Amazon and get an off-brand (TooSell) instead? I've initiated the return, but I might just sit this one out rather than try my luck with the Nillikin one. Has anyone installed a Nillikin on an AT&T Note 4 and can give feedback if there's a halo or not?

It looks like iloome is working on a full screen protector
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] IBNobody:
Same here. (Bear Motion) 1mm halo on both sides of the screen

I don't mind the "rough" texture. It was rougher than the plastic protector I had on before. This is a this thing for me though because it gives the s-pen more friction which leads to a better, more authentic writing experience.

Edit: the halo isn't terrible. I can definitely see it with the screen contrast cranked up. It doesn't encroach past the orange bars I see in the XDA app right now as I edit this message. For the pittance I paid for the thing, it will do just fine.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Nitemare3219:
It's too rough though.

I have a Surface Pro 2. Writing with that digital pen on glass feels as one would expect... like moving plastic on glass. It feels completely unnatural and is too smooth. My Surface Pro 3 (yes I have both) changed the game as the new pen has almost a rubber-like pen tip. It feels almost exactly like writing with a real pen and paper. The S-Pen on the Note surprised me... I was expecting something like the Pro 2 again - but it's somewhere between the Pro 2 and 3. It's not perfect, but it surely doesn't feel like a plastic tipped pen moving against smooth glass. There is a little bit of friction and I think it feels great.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] big70tom:
Can someone comment on the Spartan? Besides the showing up broken, if mine makes it here in working order, what all does it cover? Does it halo? All i read was they're Pacaging was crap, how does it stack up performance wise?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] IBNobody:
Well, let me know what you end up settling on. It sounds like we are in the same boat.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] kzoak82:
I received mine today but. didn't put it on based on my success with the BearMotion. I did however line it up on top of the phone to see how much coverage it would provide and can say that it's worse than the Supershieldz which was too short at the bottom. The spartan is just as short at the bottom and in addition at the top. Hope that helps partially. Sorry I couldn't provide feedback on it installed.

---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

I'm surprised at comments about the roughness. Mine feels extremely smooth. After seeing this comment I got kind of pissed because I thought that maybe I didn't notice the roughness due to it being overshadowed by the joy of the halo-less install lol. However, I pulled and compared against some others I have for different phones as well as the Spartan amd Supershieldz for the Note 4. Based on that I can confirm that my BM is as smooth or better.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Nitemare3219:
For now, I'm keeping the BM on for the sake of protection. I'm using a Spigen slim case so not much protection to begin with. Once a quality protector comes out, I'll switch. It doesn't bother me because the halo is only faintly visible as a grainy rainbow effect on light backgrounds.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] darekz:
I have idea (not for my faint heart ) for someone with big b....s. Could be possible to glue glass screen protector which has hallo effect directly to factory glass using UV glue? Once UV glue hardens, it's perfectly clear. Instalation could require some masking to prevent glue from entering speaker grill, space around home button and gap around screen (that could actually prevent from dust collecting inside gap).
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
I got mine yesterday, and put it on tonight, I put it on perfect, and I mean spot on and I have a halo around the edges too. The halo isn't as bad as the others, isn't noticeable most of the time and it'll keep it protected well, but I guess it's back to waiting for the "right" one.

Edit- Mine is perfectly smooth too, no roughness here.

Nice, thanks for sharing that!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sdlopez83:
So, what is meant by halo, is it the lift on the outside rim of the glass lifting? Or is it a small circular rainbow like air gap in the middle or wherever on the phone screen? Can someone post a picture of an exaggerated halo?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] A|ex:
lifting of the outside of the glass which gives it a halo effect all around the phone were the screen curves.

ZeroLemon Ultra Glass Armor – 9H Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Received my nicely packaged review sample.

+ Piece of cloth

+ Tempered glass

+ Alcohol whipe

Bottom / Top

Compare bottom with current tempered glass (SAMAR)

After i removed the Amar i wanted to know what it would look like after bending it. (why... Because i can :cool:)

Aligning the protector before taping it

Tape applied before removing the layer on the sticky side of the glass

Result

Nicely aligned. Couple of mm between the Otterbox Commuter and the glass

Bottom case

+ Glass feels nice and smooth

+ Doesn't get smudgy

+ Fingerprints (when present) are easly whiped away

+ No cutout for the selfie-cam which i think is a good thing. Glass is clear enough to not decrease the quality of photos

+ Good screen coverage

- Halo present but we already knew that

For 9 bucks you get a nice piece of glass which protects your screen from scratches
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] raiu:
It has ruff edges. It does look good ( for the little parts of the glass thats not broken lol) but its a little short over the multi app and back buttons. Its also cut right to the edge of the usable screen on the left and right.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Nice review. They lied to you, it is a Lemon. :p
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] soul777toast:
So, I stopped in at Best Buy last night to check in for any new stuff, and I noticed that they had gotten in a new shipment of the Zagg GLASS shields for the Note 4. I asked one of my old work buddies there if it was a revised version, but turned out he hadn't even realized they had come in! We took one out of the box to see if it looked any different, and it appears that they've adjusted the size so that it only covers the flat part of the screen. I didn't have the $$ on me at the time to pick one up, but I'm going back this afternoon to get one and try it out. I'll report back with pics once I do, hopefully it'll join the small but growing group of glass shields with no halo! Has anyone else gotten one of the new Zagg GLASS shields yet, or will I be the first on here to report?

Also, I'll be very eager to hear your review of this case, it looks like something I might be interested in if the Zagg GLASS doesn't work out. When will you be getting it?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] raiu:
I wonder what cost is. probobly like 5$ lol give your buddy 5 and have them grab it for u lololol
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
When you say "small but growing group of glass shields with no halo" which shields are you specifically referring to ?

I am not aware of a single glass protector currently available that doesn't have a halo.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] soul777toast:
Yeah, IIRC cost on these things is obscenely low, I definitely do miss my employee discount at times like this :/ I would ask my buddy to pick it up for me but the last person there who got caught doing that got fired so fast he didn't know what hit him, and I don't want to put my friend at risk. It certainly does suck having to pay full price, but you do get the lifetime free replacement guarantee with Zagg and so far I HAVE been able to get my buds at Best Buy to just swap em out for me in store, rather than having to go through the BS of sending it in to Zagg. Anyway, I'll report back with pics this afternoon once I pick it up, if it goes on with no halo it'll be well worth the $$ in my opinion.

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------

Didn't someone in this thread say that they got the new Bear Motion shield on with no halo? And I think there was another one as well, can't remember which now. I know it's a pain but just read back through the thread and you should be able to find it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
No, the new Bear Shield still has a halo. I have read every post on both this forum and the Android Central forums about glass screen protectors and thus far there is not a single glass protector on the market that doesn't have a halo.

I got the iCarez film protectors yesterday to use until a glass protector without a halo that fits correctly is available but I'm going to wait to install it until you post the results of the revised Zagg. Since they're a big name in glass protectors I've got high hopes their revised version fits right and has no halo. Let us know with pictures ASAP.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jlczl:
No halo on the Nilikin I have because it is made pretty narrow but it chipped really easily by the home button. I'm going to swap it out at Best Buy for the Zagg since it has a lifetime warranty.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] soul777toast:
Oh, must have been wishful thinking on my part then :p

I should be over at Best Buy getting the shield at around 4:00 - 4:30 EST. I'm very hopeful as well, it certainly looked very promising from what I saw looking at it last night but won't know for sure till I put it on! I'll report back with pics as soon as I have it installed, fingers crossed!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jlczl:
OK, I dropped by Best Buy and had the Zagg glass protector installed to replace the Nilikin. The rounded edges should help keep it from chipping like the Nilikin did plus it doesn't have the halo either. It's expensive but with the lifetime warranty and the lack of halo it's worth it to me (I cringe whenever I use the S-Pen thinking it may pick up a sand particle while I'm writing with it) ......plus I had store credit I needed to use anyway.

The cutout for the home button is not very well centered but it was more important to get the vertical edges right.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
This is the revised Zagg glass protector currently available at Best Buy?

What concerns me about it is how far it extends on the top and bottom to use it with a case. Do you use a case?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jlczl:
I don't know if it's revised but the BB guy said he hasn't had any of his installs create a halo. He said if it did halo over the next 14 days I could go return it and after that time period Zagg will send me warranty replacements if needed. He added that nobody has returned with a halo effect. So far so good.

I use a case some of the time. He recommended I wait a day before putting one on so it can adhere properly. I use a Spigen Neo Hybrid and a SUPCASE rugged case interchangeably.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] MT0227:
Looks like this Bear Motion was applied without halo

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
Well it looks like I'm on my way to Best Buy to have one installed then. Didn't really want to pay $40 but I guess it is what it is.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Can you post a picture of the Zagg packaging? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jah:
I have slight halo but the best tempered glass protector so far and very good value
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] kzoak82:
I've installed both the BM and Supershieldz with absolutely no halo. BM is much better based on the coverage it provides. The Supershieldz is too short and makes using tge capacitive buttons awkward in my opinion. I have the Verizon variant btw.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
Then apparently the revised Bear Motion glass protector is going on without a halo on some phones but not on others because somebody posted a picture of the revised BM on this thread that had a halo.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] kzoak82:
My final setup for the time being after 3 weeks of quality testing, orders/returns, negative review, and complaint emails. BM glass protector and OEM protective cover. The lip on the cover comes over the screen a little more than others making up for some of the real estate that the glass doesn't cover.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jlczl:
Here you go.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] iridaki:
So no halo, huh? Looks great! :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Thanks, I was hoping the packaging would have some updated info on it. :confused:

---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

That does look sweet. How do you go about getting the latest BM glass?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
Looks excellent.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] IBNobody:
I appear to have the same Bear Motion revision as you, and the same alignment as you. I ended up with a halo.

Can you tell us which Note 4 model you have?

*#12580*369# will get it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] soul777toast:
I can't tell for sure, but it looks to me like that one might be one of the older rev Zagg shields, the one I saw last night didn't look like it would extend that far past the actual display on the sides and the button cutout was definitely not that far off, I could tell that much even with the film still on it. Hard to say though, guess we'll see when I go get mine in 2 hours...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
I'm going to wait until Monday and if neither of you have a problem with the Zagg installed by Best Buy (including using it with your cases) I'll get one. I looked at Zagg's website and it does state "case friendly".
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
How will you be sure it is the revised Zagg glass and not the original ones still hanging on Best Buy shelves?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
I'll ask them if it's a new shipment. In fact I'll call them beforehand. I think they pulled the original ones because of the halo problem but I'm not sure about that. I don't think they would continue to sell the original ones if people were bringing their phones back with halos. Not that it has anything to do with the Zagg protectors but I know Best Buy pulled the original shipment of Platinum cases by Seidio because of some problem with them.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Just called 2 Best Buy stores and both said the original ones were never pulled and there is no way of telling if it's a revised or original version.

I see Zagg has a ship date of 11-10 to 11-11 so this might be the best way of getting the latest version.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] umx:
whats the benefits of the temp glass vs standard screen protectors? just more durability?

And is the zagg winning this debate on whats best?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
I guess then what I'll do is ask them if people are returning them because of the halo. I have to think if one Best Buy store has Zagg protectors that don't have a halo they all do. I think you're right about ordering directly from Zagg but I'd rather have BB install it. If I have a halo problem I'll just return it. I do have the iCarez film protectors to use as a backup but if I can get a Zagg at BB that installs without a halo that's what I'd rather do. I'll wait until Monday to see if either of the forum members that got their Zaggs installed at BB are having any problems.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] pgibbons:
+1 for the revised Bear Motion still having halos. I've installed both the SuperShieldz and now the 2nd version of the Bear Motion and they both had halos. Not sure how anyone is able to install one without a halo unless the screens are different on some Note 4's since both barely cover the AMOLED screen on the sides and the halo starts from before the edge of the screen.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] soul777toast:
Ok, just finished up at best buy, news is not good. I attempted an install of the Zagg GLASS, massive halo effect. I didn't even bother taking pictures because it was just obviously terrible. The cut of the shield did indeed end right at the edge of the actual display, but it didn't seem to make a difference, the halo actually extended into usable screen real-estate. It absolutely does make me wonder about whether the talk of variances in screen curvature has some merit, because I've seen pics of glass shields installed with no halo as long as they had the right cut, which the Zagg seemed to have. Apparently on my phone at least it doesn't make a difference, I'm completely convinced at this point that until there's an actual curved glass shield I'm stuck with something flexible. I'll be very interested to see if anyone else manages to get a Zagg shield to work.

Anyway, for now I just put a Zagg HDX back on, definitely not as good as glass but it installs perfectly and is by far the best plastic shield I've tried. It comes as close to feeling like glass without actually being glass as anything I've seen. Guess this is what I'll be using until someone finds something better! Good luck to everyone, keep the search going!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
Do you know for a fact the one they tried to install was the revised version?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] borijess:
Got the Spartan screen protector today. The packaging was horrible. I am surprised it wasn't broken. Will update later with pics after installation.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
I think we need to include which carrier's phone when we're posting glass protector results. Since all 4 of the major U.S. carriers phones are built in different countries perhaps different screens are being used.

Just today we've got 2 forum members that had no halo, one with the Zagg the other with the revised Bear Motion and 2 that had halos with the same 2 protectors.

So there is either a variance in the screens or one in the protectors.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] soul777toast:
I guess I can't say with complete certainty that it was a revised version. What I can say is that the best buy I go to had them when the phone first came out, then ran out or shipped them back (not sure which), and the one I tried tonight was no question at least from a new shipment. I suppose it's possible that they got in more of the old ones, but it does seem unlikely.

Like I said, I'll be very interested in how the Zagg GLASS works out for other people, if a bunch of people try it successfully then I'll go back and give it another go. For now, I'm just sticking with my HDX.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] kzoak82:
Can you see an actual curve of the screen on the edges where it's not sticking? Reason I ask is because im the one that posted about no halo. My screen is completely flat in the area covered by the screen protector. Then there's a little crease and downward curve. I zoomed in on your pics and it's very odd why the screen protector wouldn't stick.

Code doesn't work. Is hardware version same? N910V.05
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] IBNobody:
You are on Verizon. That explains much. My phone is from Sprint. We have different hardware completely.

I may have a halo, but I also have root. :p
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] soul777toast:
Just to add to the discussion about different carriers, I'm on Verizon- Black Note 4, N910V.05

Seems very strange, as I ended up with halo from the Zagg shield and Kzoak82 didn't get the halo with the Bear Motion... There seems to be no rhyme or reason to this :p
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] borijess:
OK wanted to also note ordered HD screen protectors and they came bent. So don't know if I can flatten them back out.

Here are the pics from the Spartan glass screen protector. I have halo on the left and right side and around the home button. No halo on the top or bottom. Will keep this one on for a while. Doesn't look that bad.

After using the HINGE technique - I was able to get this protector on. It is ALMOST a perfect install the very top left corner would not adhere for some reason, but I am not going to complain as once the otterbox is on it I will not see it anyways.

The rest of the protector seems to be perfectly aligned aftewr 10 minutes of getting it just right.
