Can you post photos? Does halo affect the front camera?

Yeah, I know what you mean and you're right. However, I was hoping that if somehow the edges were more flexible, they'd stick and eliminate the halo effect. Also in the link I posted there seems to be a hole for the front camera, so I was hoping that even if halo effect is there, the front camera would be unaffected.

See with and without screen on
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] paesan:
I have seen pictures from quite a few different manufacturers and the halo effect is pretty similar in all of them. I tried the Zagg and the glass shield itself is quality just like their other ones for different phones. If you can deal with the halo then you have quite a few options. For me there is no way I am spending $750 on a phone with a great screen and diminishing the quality of the screen with the glass protectors that are currently on the market. I am one of the beta testers for the Zerolemon and once I get it and install it I will post pictures and give my opinion.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Sabre27:
Numerous people here in Australia have been fitting a screen protector with NO HALO or other issues .

But as we all know it can only do that by covering the 'screen" area which Does NOT include the Bezel area.

The "Screen" and "Bezel" are 2 different things !! ( even though they are 1 covering piece of glass). I doubt even iloome will be able to build 1 that fits on the N4 the same as they did for the iphone 6 for a number of reasons I wont elaborate on here.

The one people are using is this-

Nillkin Amazing H+ Anti-Explosion Tempered Glass Screen Protector

I see a few people a 1/2 dozen or so pages back in this thread are also using this SP.

Here are some pictures of the Nillkin Amazing H+ Tempered Glass that is applied on my Note 4

http://pbrd.co/1tkTdiB

http://pbrd.co/1tkTwKx

http://pbrd.co/1tkTxOo

http://pbrd.co/1tkTBxC

As you can see, it doesn't cover the entire screen area because can only stick to the flat side of the screen to prevent getting the halo effect around the curved edges. You may not like the end result because it sort of becomes a 'double curved edge' glass LOL! But with the case on, its not too bad. The 2.5D curved finish on the Nillkin does help make swiping easier edge to edge and will not hinder the use of home button/finger print scanner. The glass itself is thin enough despite being 0.3mm thick.

If you have a white Note 4, the glass may not be as obvious as with the black Note 4.

In terms of screen clarity, its a 100% to my eyes. It doesn't seem to create glare. I was using it in the sun or directly underneath bright LED lighting, it didn't bother me. The 'finger feel' is exactly like the original screen. There's an oleophobic coating and you get that 'oily smooth' feel. Feels exactly like real glass, knocks like real glass too. Have been using it for the entire day, happy to report it doesn't collect finger print or grease at all. Minimal face oil after a long phone call but a simple wipe in the pants pocket and its crystal clear again.

Overall I'm very happy with the Nillkin. Makes me think what additional benefits the more expensive brands like Spigen bring to the table. Or maybe with time, the vendors could bring a full 100% coverage solution.

OMG are you guy all ****ing kidding. Iloome has already solved this problem. But just for the stupid ****ing "iphone" and just gave up on anything else. Screw them . They need to be bullied into fully supporting the note 4 and others.

Everyone on this forum should spread the word and email Iloome none stop.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] evoxsin:
Well.

If my glass getsbright to the edge of the screen n not past it why do i have halo inside my screen? Is my actuall screen curved?

This glass will stay on till i get my spartan glass.

If the spartan glass also has halo as long as its minimal it will stay. If not im also gettinf the HD screen cover from them. Ill use that film instead.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] MachinePower:
If this is your first time going with glass the most important thing is making sure your screen is 100% clean. Go above and beyond when cleaning and make sure you get every little spec of dust. Everyone has listed great optiins and any one of these well reviewed brands will be great. I'm using the Zagg InvisibleShield Glass screen protector from best buy. It's not too noticable and i think it feels great. The install was a piece of cake.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mocsab:
are you talking about the new Glass Screen Protector from ILOOME? if so, did you install and do you have photos? I want to see if they have been able to cover the screen fully or if it is like the others I have seen that cover the working part of the screen but leave a little bit uncovered all the way around.

I have Body Guardz screen protector and it looks great - but I really wanted to get the entire screen covered IF that is possible.

ILOOME had the FLEX - and then they just launched the new GLASS Screen protector, but I have not seen photos yet and I don't want to try it until I have seen good photos of it - up close....

anyeone?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] noobzilla771:
From what I'm reading it looks like iloome and Spigen are the best options right now? It also looks like there's no glass protector that covers the whole screen without getting the halo effect. I'm not seeing any place to order the Spigen though (U.S.)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] clanderson:
I think you belong somewhere around page 40.

iloome has been nothing but helpful and courteous to the members here and are not releasing their Curve Protect line for the Note 4 for good reason. If you took time to research it, the Curve Protect doesn't seem like the best solution in the first place.

But you're welcome to try that ignorant bigotry route of yours.

Here are a couple of pictures of the iloome 8h glass protector taken under a better light than those posted by our fellow forum member.

http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...ote-4-tempered-glass-screen-protector-17.html

Obviously there is no halo but the poster on Android Central forums just did a follow up post saying the edges were lifting several hours after he applied it and took the pictures. I don't get it, this protector was supposed to be a revised one and it still doesn't work.

I'll wait to hear from those that ordered the Spartan but I have to say at this point I'm not holding out much hope. The only protector I've seen that doesn't have a halo is the Tech 21 which isn't glass but sounds like it's highly protective. That may well be what I end up with.

This is ridiculous the Samsung put a screen on these phones that no manufacturer can make a glass screen protector that fits properly without a halo.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Kawaisa:
Installed one of the Spigen Glas.TR slims I bought a few weeks ago and it definitely has a halo. I'm guessing it's a batch issue maybe?

Anyways, I sent them a few messages on Amazon starting a few weeks ago and have received NO reponse whatsoever. I just filed an Amazon A-Z guarantee claim. I'm tired of Spigen's BS.

The intial release of the Spigen .tr 4 glass protectors did fit without a halo but for some reason Spigen took them off the market.

Because some of them didn't fit well. There was a halo for the first person in this thread who posted photos of the glass applied. I just tried this morning and also got a halo so it seems to be from different batches or something.

I have a samar screen protector on mine it does not cover the whole screen just the display really but no halo effect that I can see. I have a iloome on my note 3 which is good but do have a little scratch on it not sure how that happened.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
The Note 3 doesn't have the 2.5 curved screen the Note 4 does. It's the Note 4's screen that's causing all the problems with getting a glass screen protector that fits the flat portion of the screen without leaving a halo.

For those like me that want something to protect their screens until/if a glass protector that fits properly and doesn't have a halo is available (if that ever happens), I want to mention the iCarez film protector.

It was recommended by another forum member on the thread about film protectors and I read the Amazon reviews for the Note 4 which are positive (a lot of the 60 reviews are for other phones). Supposedly they don't effect using the S Pen. $4.99/3 protectors

Following this thread and the one on Android Central forums about glass protectors is like a dog chasing its tail. There isn't a glass protector currently available that fits properly without a halo and I want something on my screen.

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

According to 2 different posters on the Android Central forums the iloome Flexmate does not adhere to the screen properly. One stated the corners started to lift after a couple of hours and the other stated it didn't install flat on the top or bottom depending on how you put it on. I've got one coming tomorrow that I'm not even going to open. I'm sending it back. It is very disappointing because iloome revised this protector after they had the halo problem with their 9h glass protector and it still doesn't fit properly.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] muahhShay:
It's been 5 days so far with the iloome flex screen protector. And so far no lift, besides where I continued lift it off the screen to adjusted it properly. It's still the same on the left corners and nothing on the right side of the screen. I'll probably end up posting pics of it after a week with another camera sometime Friday or Saturday. But so far no problem. Besides me not liking it doesn't cover the entire screen.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] NogaroS4:
I think I got have one of those rare builds that doesn't halo much or at all. I have a white one for TMobile. I have a Supershields v2 on now and I don't see any haloing except for where I lifted it up a few times for adjustment. Previously I had a generic ebay one that was from redpeppercase2014. It had said it was German made or something. I had no problems with that either except for where I lifted for adjustments. I don't like the Supershields cos it is just too small. The German made one was better except that it covered the sensors. Hoping to see something a little bigger if not edge to edge.

FWIW my build info is 2014/09/30 rev1.1
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Yes, I'm the guy that returned this screen protector to T Mobile. Felt like cheap, thin plastic to me.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] xxmelissaxx:
I just had my iloome installed today, and it's the same thing, no lift on the right side.. But the left is definitely lifting and I didn't take it off or move it, the bottom and top corners Are lifting a little also (much worse on the left bottom) I emailed them and asked for another if and when they fix this issue no reply yet.. But honestly it still looks better than anything else I've tried so far.. I'll post some photos tomorrow.. Just wanted to let you know that moving it might not be your problem as I seem to be having the same issues..

They contacted me and informed me that they were going to redesign it as they noticed it did not mesh with the rounded edges properly. They offered a refund or the opportunity to ship me out a new protector. I opted for taking the new protector. I should have it soon, but I wanted to share a very positive experience with MobilePioneer in regards to what you are looking for in a screen protector. I believe they will provide a good protector and it will work. I would hope anyone who shipped one that doesn't fit will do the same as they have.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] iunlock:
For me it will be definitely between these two. The deciding factor will be depending on which one is thinner. I would also like a full coverage one as oppose to having them "dog ear," cut outs on the very top as I don't care if the front camera or sensors are covered. I highly doubt that it will cause any issues with them having something clear covering them.

Which one will be thinner? Hmmmmm...

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] psygnosi:
OtterBox Defender has no Halo because screen protector is built in. I didn't use the screen protector that came with the Otterbox Commuter because the Supershieldz fits fine but I decided to take it out when the defender came in. I wanted the whole screen to be protected. I'm still waiting for the UAG Aero, 2 different ilbaison cases, and the Poetic case. I will probably end up using the UAG case with one of these glass protectors. The impressive Guard glass had very minimal halo and used that with the commuter and was satisfied. I liked it because the home button perfectly fit and did not interfere with the fingerprint scanner. I'll try the Nuglas and Poetic when the UAG comes in.
