Lol yah that was me, I wrote that earlier in this thread when I was talking about my Zagg HDX :p

But yeah, a can of duster is like the miracle cure for those tiny dust specks. I don't know about the whole steam thing though, seems to me that it would just cause moisture to build up on the screen which would make stuff to stick to it even more :/

If you're interested, here's the install procedure I came up with while I was at the Geek Squad, step by step. I'd say that I got a perfect install about 95% of the time doing this.

1: Wash your hands! Oils on your hands cause smudges and dirt gets on the screen, so make sure you've got clean hands for this!

2: Find a hard, flat surface with a lot of room to work in a well ventilated clean area. A kitchen table, a counter, a desk, whatever you've got as long as it's spotless, has about 3-4 square feet of completely open space, and is in a clean area. Do NOT try to do this in a room filled with dust, pet hair, or airborne particles of any kind! Obviously you can't get rid of EVERYTHING in the air, I once tried to do an install in a Class 3 Clean Room (full suit, gloves, mask, hood, boots, etc.) and I STILL ended up with some dust on the screen, but that's another story... The point is that you want to minimize contaminates as much as possible.

3: If the device is new, touch the screen as little as possible! That means do NOT spray it and clean it with a cloth unless you have to, the best time to do an install is about 5 nanoseconds after you remove the original plastic coating before anything gets on the screen. This is where the canned air comes in: if the screen already has some dust on it but no smudges, you can give it a quick burst to get rid of the dust without having to touch that pristine screen with anything that could contaminate it! On the other hand if it is an older phone or you've managed to get fingerprints or smudges on it, then give it a good cleaning with a FRESH microfiber cloth and screen cleaner, make sure it's dry, then spray it with the duster to get rid of anything else that's landed on it.

4: Prepare your shield, then check for more dust and spray with the duster to remove. Peel the first film off the shield, then check for more dust and spray with the duster to remove. See a pattern here? The idea is that these screens suck dust on to them like a vacuum, so you need to be constantly checking for it and spraying with the duster. What makes the duster great is that unlike a cloth IT won't add more dust than it removes! Anyway, once you're SURE the screen is completely dust-free, proceed with the shield install as per manufacturers instructions.

I'll mention that if you're doing a wet install, you really need to soak the screen. I can't tell you how many customers I had who almost went into cardiac arrhythmia when they saw me hosing down their brand new device with the install solution, but honestly that's what it needs and I didn't have a single device end up with liquid damage. Just avoid open ports and holes and you should be good.

Anyway this worked for me, I almost never had to do a repeat install. Have fun!

What I meant is that it's possible to make since it exists for the iPhone. Hopefully the other companies will make the effort to do it right because so many people are dissatisfied with what's available.

I got the replacement Bear Motion screen protector for my Note 4. They made the screen smaller to go away from the Note 4 curve screen but it is still not working though. I still got very bad Halo on the edges.

First picture is the previous Bear Motion Screen Protector.

Maybe it's the angle the light's hitting it at because the first one looks like it has a lot less halo than the 2nd revised one.

So right now we've got to that don't leave a halo, the iloome 8h Flexmate & the Tech 21 (not glass).

Just got my Supershieldz...

Here's a video of it http://youtu.be/gGVvMRxQOAI

It is short and it was an absolute pain to install. It took 4 tries to get it exact as possible. There is VERY minor haloing on the sides and on the bottom just above the home button. I'm wondering if these will disappear over night in which case I'll update.

If I drop it face down I can see it protecting the phone, if I drop it on the corner, I'm not sure if it will break the impact since it doesn't cover the edges at all.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] cdmoore74:
I used the hot shower trick for the last 2 years with great success. But during my last motorcycle ride of the season the screen was exposed to direct sunlight for a hour. When I got to my destination I looked at the screen and noticed this huge faded blob. At first I thought it was the display but it turned out to be the glass protector. So I have 2 theories; either the small amount of moisture did not dry completely and cooked on the protector or it was just cheap eBay quality. I did find the the protector felt like plastic but it is labeled as super thin glass. I really had no problems other than the halo before I ripped it off.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Josborne6:
That's actually my phone. And it was this SP.

ZZYBIA® 0.26mm Ultra-thin Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Samsu... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NL4LO1G/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_6yevub1CWWP5E

The initial install was off by about 1-1.5mm but it didn't matter as far as the halo goes. I centered it and it's perfect with the exception of the halo all the way around. Cutouts were off too. I was trying not to cover my FF camera in the first try. Second time I just centered it and said the hell with camera being covered. I don't take selfies anyway. I knew this thing was temporary, but it looks like there's not a better alternative yet. I ordered the Supershieldz TG which will have halo I'm sure, but at least the cutouts will be correct.

Another update for this Verizon Flexible Glass protector. My review? Avoid it. I can't get the edges to stick, and it's just gotten worse over the last few hours. Also, I'm not even certain this thing is glass. It feels way too sticky for me, more like a plastic protector. I'll be looking to replace this as soon as I can.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ar216893:
Has anyone try Mobile Pioneer tempered glass ?

I got it from amazon, and they send 4 protector, my parents who accept it in US said 3 thin and 1 thick, I think it's 3 plastic and 1 glass. I'll know that in 2 days.

But I still didn't know it will fit or not, since I'm waiting for the gold color to hit the shelves here, so it'll take long time to know.

Here's the pics from them, and I see there're more than 1 protector.

Maybe if there are someone already try those can share their experience.

From the amazon reviewers, most said it won't fit but the earlier reviewer say it fit. I don't know which one is telling the truth.

But if it doesn't fit, I hope I can cut it with some laser cutting ? *finger crossed in that*
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] The Mighty Thor:
I will continue to watch this thread until a good glass alternative is found to my ArmorSuit Military Shield. So far I have zero halo effect near full screen coverage and the lifetime warrantee. Yes there is a minimal amount of drag with the S-Pen, but not bad enough for me to deal with some other substandard screen protector.

---------- Post added at 12:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 AM ----------

I tried to try this one but it arrived broken. Thankfully Amazon has a very forgiving return policy.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ar216893:
Yeah, Amazon is the best online marketplace so far for me.

And my package arrive safe & secure.

Too bad you receive it damaged and can't try it.

Hope this one will fit to my future phone so I can stop searching tempered glass.

This things started to make me crazy. lol.

I'm okay with the "just covering flat part of the screen" things, but those halo effect really make me don't want those screen protector.

And it's not easy find tempered glass on my city. only 1 or 2 brand that came in, very limited options.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] The Mighty Thor:
I have not given up yet. As I said I will continue to keep an eye on this thread for the ideal tempered glass screen protector and thanks to Amazon I have no fear of trying any that seem to work well. They are by far the best for online purchases (testing) when it comes to something like this.

Ah really? That's great!

My Note 4 was ordered from the Samsung e-store yesterday so I should get it on Tuesday hopefully.

I've already purchased 2 Techgear tempered glass screen protectors but I applied one on my boyfriend's Note 4 and it has really bad halo effect. Heck, not even the area around the home button sticks properly!

tempered glass thats a little big

I have no idea if this will work or not... I have no interest in getting a tempered glass that's too small because i do not want sides of screen to get scratched as I've found that this screen n scratches WAY more than any other ive never laid my phone screen down nor put it in a pocket/purse. Always laying on back or in my hand but in 2 days i have more than a dozen small scratches (only hard thing to touch it was S-pen) so i was thinking of getting a tempered glass that extended to the metal and put a case on it that would go over the edge of the glass protector and keep dust out and hold the protector in. I understand I'll still have the halo effect but at this point I'm ok with that just to protect the screen. Has anyone tried this? Has anyone bought a tempered glass that extends barely past the screen? Ive read 28 of the 60 song Deering pages and not read about this so I'm hoping someone that has read every comment or had personal experience with this could help?

2d round edges

Usually most of the 2d round edges talk youll see on the amazon ads are not saying it will curve with the screen.

That means the actuall glass itself has rounded edges

When these glass covers first came out people complained that the edges of the covers were sharp...think about it. What do you think would happen if you run your finger on a glass edge? First glass made would start to shatter at the edges and some would break and get caught on pants pockets etc etc etc

Then came the 2d round touch to glass covers.

None of those on previous page who will receive their covers will be actually round mold. But just the edges. Im sure will be halo as well.

Sorry to break the bubble.

I have my revised bear motion glass and will attemp to install tonight. Bear motion has lifetime warranty and awesome CS. But if this is all they can do

My search continues

The only two protectors without a halo currently available that anyone either here or on the Android Central forums have posted with pictures are:

1) iloome 8h Flexmate

2) Tech 21 (not glass but should be highly protective) currently only available at TMobile stores

The Spigen glass .tr (9h) also installed without a halo and two posters on the Android Central forums posted pictures of theirs. It was pulled from the market and is not currently available. Don't know why Spigen pulled it as it is/was the only 9h protector anyone has posted about that installed w/o a halo.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
What are they using to fill in the sloped part of the screen? Is it PET, TPU, or something else? They call it "CurveProtect", but fail to say what it's made of, I doubt that little extension around the edges is glass.

Edit-Since it's available in two colors, it's obviously made with some sort of TPU or PET around the edges, basically it looks like they've added a TPU/PET/? "gasket" around the edges. It should be called a hybrid, because that's what it is, it appears to work, but they should still state that it's a glass/? hybrid.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ar216893:
yes, we all know that iloome have that for iphone 6 and 6+

but not all of us (only who read trough all pages and who follow this thread regularly) know that iloome already give up make those kind of protector for note 4. Maybe they will change their minds in future, but finger crossed on that. That's why in this thread there're no more discussion about that iloome curveprotect anymore, we already have discussion about that in few front pages.

Dont know what you had in your pocket, but it was something. I was paranoid about not having a protector on my note 4. Kept waiting for a good protector to come out. I ordered the iloome flex, should be here Monday. But anyways, I have had my Note 4 in my pocket everyday for almost a week after receiving it early on the tmobile prelease. One day I had it in the same pocket of my keys didnt even realize it till several hours later. My screen is still flawless. There is information about these screens and how things like sand are the biggest cause for scratches. Sorry to hear it got scratched anyway, but I suggest checking your pockets for small particles.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] princeasi:
It hasn't crossed my mind. I'm pretty much content with my SP. I know there are others who's had success without the halo problem. Moreover, I understand no two screens are exactly alike. Hence, the different variances in results. Looking at my screen closely, I notice the edges are slightly raised, which gives the screen a sort of concave effect. Hence, any type of glass SP (unless otherwise fitted specifically to my phone) will not fully adhere to the surface. I'm pretty much confident the culprit to many of the halo issue is due to the concave effect to the screen. Though the iphone is 2.5d, I dont believe it has the concave effect like many of the Note 4's.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jah:
Just applied this glass protector. There is a slight halo. May reduce over time. Interesting that the package does not include an alcohol based cleaner like other products but does include a sticky pad to remove dust before you apply the protector. Feels like good quality and worth the money. Will leave it for a week and then try another.
