3rd Zagg glass design?

I'm in the UK and got a Zagg Glass from Amazon for Christmas, when it had the halo I got in touch with Zagg, and they sent out a replacement from the US which looked like the second version pictured a couple of pages ago. The spike/hook by the front facing camera isn't as large on the 2nd version. However, I still have halo on the replacement, and so I got in touch again, and this time they are sending a replacement from "HQ", so I don't know if there is a 3rd version, or whether they are going to send out another 2nd version to me.

For me, in addition to scratch protection, I prefer glass protectors with good oleophobic resistance. I find the Zagg to be excellent in this regard, but if this 3rd one doesn't fit without a halo, then I think I will give it up, and will look to go for a model that reportedly doesn't have a halo - do we have a definitive list of those that have no halo, and of those, which has the best oleophobic coating giving the best fingerprint resistance?

Cheers,

Steve.

I have a question I hope someone can answer. I have a black Note4 on Sprint, I have an Otterbox Defender series case, made in China if it matters. Everyone is talking about halo with these different glass screen protectors. My question is, say I install a Zagg glass screen protector, or the one by Otterbox, if I install it and remove the factory screen protector that comes with the Defender will the halo show or will it be under the edge of the top half of my case? Thanks in advance...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
If the halo is on the sides of the display or the bottom it will show. If the halo is at the top it won't show as the Defender case covers most of the top.

Here is mine in the Defender with the Alpha glass. The halo I have at the top is not showing. I have small halos on the sides but they are hard to see in the picture. BTW, the Zagg glass is much nicer then the Alpha.

My Defender's original screen protector is removed.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] schlepprock:
Thanks, I love the defender case but I don't like the built in screen protector. I want to remove it but I want some kind of protection. Can you feel the halo while using your phone?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Nope, I've never felt the halo. :silly:

Not sure why you think that the thickness isn't the .15mm as the poster claimed. Perhaps you found the wrong version? Anyways, I only am posting because I was able to find it. Here's the link to help.

THis is the one I posted a while back - it is excellent - best one I have found - NO HALO - nice feel - exactly like any of the other Glass Protectors I have used - good fingerprint protection - I have not been able to get decent photos but I am trying - someone asked if it is "Sharp" around the edges - and to be honest, it is so thin you barely feel the edges at all -
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] alessio941:
How buy in the moshi shop?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] crash_194:
They don't seem to sell them through that link posted a few posts up, all it does is list retailers.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Maybe it's because you are not in the USA? I see the "add to cart" button just fine when I look at the site.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] crash_194:
Yes I bet that is it mate, the UK doesn't seem to have nearly the same, readily available screen protector retailers as the USA :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] bigup7:
whats the best Tempered glass to go for then in the UK? with the least amount of Halo?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] PsychDrummer:
I also tried this screen protector. It was very hard to line up and I guess after peeling and reapplying, I ended up with a ton of dust underneath. I also have a slightly halo on the left side. I emailed the support and didn't get anything back after 2 days. At that time I also started seeing light scratches even though I just kept it in my pocket with nothing else in it. I emailed them again and they promptly responded asking for my order number and sent out a replacement. I will be a little more careful with the installation. It came with two tabs on opposite ends but I think that just made it harder to line up. Because it's so thin, it reminds me more of the iloome flex. I'm more used to applying thicker protectors but I will try my best with the replacement. One other thing I noticed is that it felt sticky for the first day which did go away and it's very smooth now. However, it still seems to attract a ton of dust after taking out of my pocket. I think it's one of the better ones though as long as I can avoid dust and align it perfectly.

Edit: I actually see the right side starting to halo slightly.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] djpharoah:
Anyone else try the icarez one that justy came out? Worth getting?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] crash_194:
None of the ones discussed in this thread are available in the UK yet, if they ever will be for that matter.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Face_Plant:
I avoid mime products at all costs. I had their crap on my Note 3 and mysterious little chips appeared in the edges of the proctor which eventually turned into big cracks. I contacted them for their 15% off discount thing they offer if a protector cracks and after placing my order I had to wait A MONTH AND A HALF to get my replacement screen protectors. I sent them several emails asking where the hell my stuff was and I never got a reply. I will never ever buy anything from them again after that stunt.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] bigup7:
Thanks, so which one should i go for in the interim?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] twe90kid:
i concur.. expensive sh*t and they dont' back their own products. if you complain about anything they just offer you a 50% off code which is useless...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] crash_194:
Personally I have gone for the zagg hdx. They appear to ship from Ireland, they arrive pretty quickly, and fit nicely. You also have the added bonus of the warranty with zagg.

Another alternative would be the Tech21 impact shield, looks like another good screen protector but nowhere near the warranty zagg offer which is definitely worth having.

Both are plastic film type screen protectors though not glass but the best we can get in the UK at the minute in my opinion. (Sorry guys for the slight off topic).
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] oilfighter:
Just installed a zagg invisishield on my Verizon note 4 dev edition. No halos!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] smacsteve:
Did you install the Zagg Glass or the original?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] oilfighter:
Glass, bought from Amazon. I've tried 2 other glass screen protectors, they were both junk. Zagg worked best for my phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
I still haven't removed the iLoome. The halo on sides seems to have mostly disappeared. Was it just silicone residue / adhesive? Strange. Easy to snap on the Otterbox Defender case with built in screen protector. I might just stick with this, even though I don't have any warranty now from iLoome, since the iLoome was defective from the start. There is still little halo on the top left edge, where the LED notification light is. Might as well return the Moshi if you ask me.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] beezar:
Had a slightly off install myself, and I fixed it very easily and quickly with no dust by using the hinge method of applying two pieces of tape to the side. Then I lifted the screen protector with another piece of tape, opened it like a hinge slightly, then pushed it a tad over then laid the glass down. The time the glass was off the screen was probably under 3 seconds, and that fixed the problem with no dust.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] zeuswsu:
I bought the iCarez .15mm glass and it went on halo free for me. It's definitely an upgrade from the plastic film I had on before in clarity and feel. I had problems with other glass protectors halo'ing but no problems with this one so far. Definitely recommended.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] oilfighter:
are the edge of iCarez rounded?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jal3223:
Does the Moshi have adhesive in the center our just the edges?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] zeuswsu:
I don't think so but it's so thin I can't really tell for sure.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Just on the top, bottom and thin sides. There is no adhesive on the display area at all.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] PsychDrummer:
4th day with iCarez and I'm seeing a ton of micro scratches. I should be getting a replacement tomorrow, so hopefully that one holds up better.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] oilfighter:
Does it catch on your thumb if you have to swipe in from the edge? Say... swiping from the left side to access the menu in the youtube or gmail app?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] zeuswsu:
I have a case on my phone that prevents my finger ever going somewhere that it would catch. If I didn't have a case, I think it would catch. The edge doesn't feel rounded.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Finally settled with the Otterbox Defender Series Case today, got it installed with the Skinomi Techskin, one corner intentionally lifted because of the tight fit within the polycarbonate shell of the Otterbox Case, no worries, still protected from the outside elements. I also managed to cover parts of the Metal Chrome Chamfered edges with some Military Shields I custom-cut (Especially the USB Port which is susceptible to being scratched up; no longer have to worry there, and the S-Pen area as well). I covered the home button with a pre-cut home button sticker for the Note 4 which came with a PET film protector. Phone is pretty much sealed now to the outside elements. Using the iLoome Screenmate Flex, which I was so reluctant to taking off even though it was not the fit as desired. A tad amount of halo can be seen with the iLoome with the Ottebox case overlaying it, but this doesn't bother me since my phone's protection is top priority. I can move on now. My search stops here, haha. Thankfully.

Rock 2.5D 0.2mm Ultrathin Tempered Glass Screen Protector

I just received my Rock Branded - Ultra-thin - tempered glass screen protector. It is definitely thinner than the standard 0.3mm tempered glass ones - and is flexible - did not test the full range of flex, but I had high hopes for this one.

Unfortunately - it does have a small halo. They did attempt to cut down the width of the screen protector - took me multiple attempts to position it correctly. It is a hair wider than the visible AMOLED panel of the phone. The good news is that there is only a very slight halo - so hopefully dust particles will not enter like the Xtremeguard Spartan glass that I had before - which had a humongous halo in comparison.

Aside from the slight halo, this one is very nice - you can feel the difference in thickness. All the cut outs for the camera/sensors are there. Pretty decent purchase for $10.

Arrived in very nice packaging - came with wipes + dust tape. I wouldn't use the microfibre cloth as it appears to be leave particles behind if used too vigorously. As long as you opt for the retail package, I doubt it will arrive damaged.

I think I will just stick with this one as the halo is hardly noticeable - is barely on the edge of the screen and only one one edge (left side) of the phone. I did try shifting to the right a bit more, but then the halo shows up on the opposite side.

The moshi iVisor fits the screen 100% for me. My previous phone was note 3 with spigen slim armor, and my note 4 when I took this picture had the spigen hybrid, but I have recently put the slim armor back on and it is mirror copy of my note 3. It was $48 at AT&T, but it works great, registers online for lifetime warranty, you can pull it off and wash the adhesive and the front if you really need to clean it. Comes with a suction cup so you can move it around and fine tune the location it rest on, and I have zero problems with the screen covering the buttons and being not as responsive as without. Just put another on my Dads Note 4 with Spigen tough armor case and just like previous the glass is touching the edge of the rubber gasket on both cases perfectly. I had my OTT-LITE on when I took the picture I was in my computer/studio room but it has no halo, no haze, nothing.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Greenv7:
other alternatives? tech armor?

Hi everybody. I have a Moshi iVisor Tempered glass in the black color , but i have sold my Note 4 , so don't need it anymore. looking to sell for 38USD + shipping. If anybody is keen you can PM me, I'm in New Zealand but can send internationally as well. Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sefrcoko:
I'm pretty sure you are not allowed to offer items for sale here on XDA. Stick to eBay please :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sefrcoko:
Can anyone confirm if the Moshi is shatter resistant (i.e. the glass has a screen protector layer built into the design to protect screen in the event the glass shatters)? I see the Otterbox Alpha Glass and Inskin say so on the package, but I dont see this on the Moshi. Same for Zagg glass actually. I assume they are but would like to be sure. Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
I don't see how the Moshi is shatter-resistant because there is no adhesive covering the actual screen. Though I'm sure the Moshi iVisor will try its best to contain the shattered pieces as long as the adhesive on the sides stay in place at the moment of impact. :silly:

Wait for BodyGuardz to release their Crown. Might be worth it. *Might*
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sfld:
so moshi or zagg guys? is the only drawback of the moshi the price?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Depends, are you using a case with your Note 4? If so, which one? I can guide you from there. :p

Just using the OEM samsung rubber case, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NP3K8Y2/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1422386621&sr=1&keywords=note+4+samsung
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Use the Moshi. The Moshi iVisor offers the most coverage (covers edge-to-edge) in terms of protection and is stronger than tempered glass, BUT is not really shatterproof since the actual display is not adhered to the Moshi. If you take a wack with a hammer on the Moshi installed on the Note 4, you won't crack the Moshi but the amount of force exerted on top of the actual display "may" cause collateral damage to the device.

If you want true shatterproof protection, you'll want the Zagg Glass. ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sfld:
Is the zagg hit or miss like the others with halos?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
As long as you order from Zagg's website, you should be getting the halo-free version. Zagg revised their Glass a couple of times, and recently made sure their warehouse dispatches the revised versions to their customers.

The Zagg "May" still be hit or miss depending on the extent of curvature of the display on your Note 4. However, the odds are far less now than it was before in terms of developing the halo effect. Best part of Zagg is their Lifetime Warranty; they will gladly replace your Glass if you get one with significant halo or goes defective during the ownership time of your Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
I've been in discussion with Zagg just today. I'm on my 3rd Glass (2nd v2) and all have suffered halo. Their customer service is very good, and they are sending a HDX to see how I get on with that.

Their product manager said "We are seeing variation in the Note 4's curved screens. Which means some phones will look better than others. The white phone is harder to see so it always looks better. ZAGG is aware of this and has adjusted our Glass slightly as a rolling change. But just like the iPhone 6, no glass screen protector will "bend" over the curved edge of the device. In fact, even our competitors will not be able to do this either."
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
A Reputable company like Zagg should be able to devise a clever solution to this like the BodyGuardz. Will want to see how the BodyGuardz Crown turns out to be.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jlczl:
The only way to know is for you to actually try them on your device as every device has a slightly different curvature. For those of us who are fortunate enough to have a fairly flat screen the ZAG is perfect and halo free.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
The Zagg was perfect for me as well, no halo, whereas the iLoome (a flexible tempered glass) gave in some halo. And I know my screen is slightly curved evenly both sides as per Samsung's specifications, not sure why some give halo and others don't. I think the manufacturing process for these tempered glass protectors need to be taken into account as well. Zagg doesn't make all of their tempered glass protectors consistently.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
It's a shame that it's a bit of a lottery. I guess there must be sufficient variance in either the screens, protectors, or both, that adds an extra level of uncertainty to the whole halo issue.

I love the Zagg glass oleophobic properties, but the halo is annoying. I'm hoping the HDX will be a reasonable solution, but I think I'm going to miss having glass...

Is this similar to iLoome's Screenmate Flex?

I like the Music featured in that video, pretty groovy. Made me want to break dance and get a halo. Joking aside, I never heard of iCarez, do they have Customer Service? Only two reviews on Amazin' (Amazon).

Edit: Made some lyrics to accompany that song in the video. The lyrics are made exclusively for the Note 4's curved screen. It goes something like this in every verse,

"Sammy...why did...you make curve screen...don't you...know that...it makes me scream...give me some halo-lo..lo..free.free...how, how, lo...ve.ly"
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Venom0642:
No nothing like Flex iLoome's and yes has two reviews on amazon only but that is cause it's brand new update which lots don't know about it, i will rate it in a bit then there will be 3 reviews, But let me be real here i have tryed almost all the best glass screen protectors and everyone of them has give me a HALO, But when i installed ICarez i couldn't believe my eyes there is no HALO what so ever it's 100% HALO Free and is one of the thinnest glass i've seen which is 0.15mm , Plus NO Scratches And S Pen works with no issue glass finger print free very smooth glass, Also works on Comutter Case and SAMSUNG PROTECTIVE Case and on UAG Which that's the case i am using now!

EDIT: Almost forgot to mention you can not notice ICarez Glass on the phone you can not see it, So i Recommend This Screen Protector To Everyone you won't be sorry, I just Rated To The Best Glass Screen Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R421E8E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Also, do you have an amazon link? I found a spigen screen protector, but it isn't a tempered glass protector...

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] shadowlord256:
I would say that it is fairly fingerprint resistant. I am pretty particular about my screen being clean and I have not found myself cleaning it very often. I checked for the link and it looks like Amazon has pulled them. I'm not sure If this is due to low stock or a redding by Spigen.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] speedy1979:
Well I finally got my Note 4 today and this Screen protector leaves a halo all the way around the screen.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Blaqdymun:
I was just about to reply that this isn't a Spigen. These companies assumed that the screen was made exactly like the Note 3, I did also until reading these posts a few days ago & in a haste to get their product out prior to release date to catch the early buyers like us, they pushed out a product without doing the proper research.
