Just use it bare. The Note 4 has GG4.

When I first got my Note 4 I also got a glass screen protector, but I wasn't satisfied with the scratch resistance en how it did not cover edge to edge.

I have been using my Note 4 for already 7 to 8 months without any screen protector and the screen holds up real nice.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] DarkGuyver:
Despite the fact that the Note 4 has Gorilla Glass 4 protection on the display, I would still recommend getting a screen protector for your device. For future protection against accidental drops. While Gorilla Glass 4 is very strong and durable, it can only withstand so much force before it gets damaged.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
Agreed. I've seen first hand that the Note 4 screen is prone to fine scratches, so I would never use mine without some sort of screen protection (unless you are the sort of person where fine scratches don't bother you).
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Dijkertje:
I tried taking a close look at my Note 4's display, but it hasn't gotten a single (fine) scratch.

And I certainly don't baby the phone as the chamfered edges are actually a little bit scratched up but nothing too serious.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] alexsoin:
That's the best I've seen so far!!! Following this topic for a while now, rocking my note 4 "naked" for the last 2 months and kinda anxious bouta dropping it. I was very unhappy with tons of glares from the edges of narrow temp glass. Can you please tell if this protector has tiny dots or it's absolutely transparent? Do you have any issues with the dust getting under the curved parts of the screen? Thanx
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Melissakis:
Yes, there are dots that are visible under certain angles and light conditions, but most of the time they remain unnoticed.

The only part that occasionally collects dust is the point under the front camera. Every couple of months I raise the glass and remove it with an adhesive tape.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] skrubol:
Any US (or at least english speaking) source for this or something like it?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Melissakis:
Back when I bought it, there were some guys that claimed this is almost the same as that one, that's sold in America. They also mentioned another brand, but I do not remember it.

Found them. Cailifu and Intelliarmor.

Yesterday I removed my old tempered glass and put on the replacement. First of all, the difference with and without the tempered glass is more than obvious. The naked screen has a gorgeous bluish tint, is noticeable clearer and smoother. Protection is more important for me, so I'll have to put up with it.

Second notice, this tempered glass I posted doesn't look and feel like real glass, but more like plastic. Maybe that's why it's edge to edge. Anyway, it's time for me to try a new option and I'll go for the nillkin 9H+.

Just one question, I was not able to find the Nillkin 9H+ pro for our device, does it actually exist?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] oopeteroo:
im still looking for the best screen protector for note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Melissakis:
There's no such thing. ..

The second delightable I put on was a little different than the first. It made a halo around, rendered the proximity sensor unusable and made the recent apps button difficult to press. I threw it and put the Nillkin. Rather small and covers the front camera.

I keep searching...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] oopeteroo:
so after all this time which screen protector do u guys recommend ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] howellcp:
I would love to find one that fit well but truthfully after almost 2 years this screen is still perfect without and screen protector.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] emtee_skull:
I've been using this one for six months:

Stallion

It works well with it. No touch, spen, case or interactive issues.

I was walking up the driveway about a month ago and dropped my phone flat on the ground, glass to ground. The tempered glass broke but phone was fine. So I got another one.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tkoreaper:
Haven't been here for a long time, but why isn't this one recommended or at least mentioned anymore?

http://www.bodyguardz.com/screengua...4-cases-screen-protectors-covers-shields.html
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] howellcp:
Probably because it's $50.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Chris992:
The price is so high so nobody could buy that.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] PDADoc:
I've been looking at the one made by Zagg, I have them on my iPhone and iPad, but I always had bad luck with the glass on my S4; they'd always be warped in one corner so they never stayed flat. Anyone used this one lately?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
Customer service is great from Zagg, but all of their glass offerings suffer from halo pretty badly - they are cut quite large.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] PDADoc:
Ah, okay, thanks. BTW, what is halo?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
It's where you get a ring around the edge of the protector because the screen is curved beneath it.

Like this...

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] PDADoc:
Yep, that's exactly what would happen with my S4! Happened every time, too. Strangely enough, it NEVER happens on my iPhone or iPad, go figure.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] alexsoin:
2xNotes 4 temp glass screen protectors needed asap!

My wife and myself have two Notes 4, mine is N910C, hers N910A. I had this one for a while http://www.amazon.com/Tranesca-Tempered-Protector-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B0187SBVIG?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00, was able to apply it without halo (almost, say 98%) but edges of this protector were killing me/my eyes with the reflections from the office LED lights and even while watching 16:9 bright movies/youtube vidz. Needless to say, it was totally devastating on sunny days outdoors. The problem is what this glass was supernarrow, it was covering may be just 0.1 mm over left and right sides from the visible part of the screen (on top of tiny black lines) and also edges of this glass weren't 2.5D or whatever they call em. And the biggest issue it is not available on Amazon anymore. So the question is if there's any slightly less narrower temp glass with 2.5D edges and known to have minimal halo? I don't consider edge-to-edge protectors since they have very visible black dots. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

---------- Post added at 08:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 AM ----------

Really can't get your issues, man! I have 5 (FIVE!) different temp glass protectors on my S4 during 1.5 years I used it. ALl of them were in 1-3$ range from ebay and I NEVER had even minimal halo! S4 screen is perfectly flat and you can apply practically any temp glass w/o any issues!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] PDADoc:
Well, I wouldn't expect you to "get" my issues. You're ostensibly talking about a different product than I am; I was referring to the Zagg Glass protectors, and you're using completely different products.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] blindmanpb:
I've never had any issue with the Zagg glass protectors, I've used them on my S4, Note 4, and Note 5. My first Note 5 one had a noticeable halo, but I got a replacement and it's been perfect. No issue at all with the S4 and Note 4.

Might've helped that I didn't get the glass for the S4 and Note 4 right away. Zagg does seem to have issues with the first batch of glass protectors for a new phone. Their customer service is excellent though, as is the lifetime warranty.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] PDADoc:
I agree. If you read my previous remarks, I also pointed out that I had never had any problems with Zagg Glass before, and I still have them on my iOS products. But something went wrong with their S4 line, and after five replacements I gave up on them. I found I actually preferred the Moshi iVisor AG anyway. I'm using them on the Note 4 and my Tab S. [emoji4]
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] alexsoin:
I decided to try this 2x pack amazon! It's on a budget and I used it for both N910C and N910A. I'd give 4.5 stars, applied it w/o halo, oleophobic coating seems to last long, buttons/fingerprint/camera/sensors work perfectly fine! My only concern is it's kinda too narrow (apparently that's why it gives no halo) and 16:9 videos can give little reflections from the light backgrounds, also some dust stucks in between of case edges (OEM Samsung case) and this temp protector. No very dramatic and can always be removed with a duster or something. It's certainly the best you can get on a budget, w/o ugly black dots and nicely 2.5D-ed edges which feel great in hand! Mustbuy if you are halo hater :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Melissakis:
My quest for a tempered glass looks that has come to an end.

I bought two of these just out of curiosity, they were very cheap and my hopes were very low.

They arrived in just a plastic bag, no boxes, no cloths, no two-step solutions and tissues. The apply was as easy as in every tempered glass and went smooth.

The glass is true edge to edge and left a hard to notice halo effect in some portions of the edge of the screen. The Samsung logo is covered (I like that) and the black part of the face has a rather nice pattern.

All sensors and buttons are left uncovered and each hole has a slim silver rim. These rims and the previously mentioned pattern give a different look to the Note 4 face, some may like it, some may not. I personally find it nice, and I am not the flashy kind of guy.

Sometimes the best things are found where least expected!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] borijess:
Does it have the grid of dots on the glass?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Melissakis:
Strange, but no, it doesn't!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] borijess:
So does clear glass have adhesive?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Melissakis:
Yes it does, and a rather good one.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] borijess:
Does any of the brushed nickel edges cover the screen at all?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] alexsoin:
Ordered one, thanx for sharing. Looks quite tacky (w these holes and shiny metal finish) but I've been searching for edge-to-edge glass w/o dots grid for more than a year now!

Will give it a try and report here.

That's the one I'm using now, it's OK but with some caveats (I wrote like 10 posts above). But basically zero halo! And I think it looks better on my wife's N910A, this photo of N910C and by terrible camera of Galaxy Note 8. I do apologize :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Melissakis:
No, it doesn't, the silver edge is just after the end of the screen.

Second day of use and a tiny halo appeared in a portion of the screen edge, nothing really annoying.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] PDADoc:
That looks exactly the Skinomi Tech Glass that I'm using on my Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ssb13:
Just dropped my Note 4 with the Skinomi Tech Glass on it. Got a crack (in the Tech Glass). So bummed, but that's what it is supposed to do...right? Debating ordering another one, or trying something new.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] PDADoc:
Well, good luck with Skinomi honoring that warranty. I tried to get a replacement for the Tech Glass on my Tab S2 and they made me jump through so many hoops that I got angry and said forget it. Also, if it wasn't purchased from them or their "approved resellers" they'll find a way to say no. I never had any of those issues with Zagg at all. I just wish they made a glass protector for the S2.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ssb13:
I don't expect them to replace it for free. I dropped the phone and the guarantee specifically says it does not apply to drops. I'm just wondering if I should get another one or try another brand. ILoome looks interesting having the extended coverage of the curved part of the screen.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] PDADoc:
Fair enough. I guess the point that I was trying to make was that Zagg at least replaced it regardless of how the damage occurred without making one jump through hoops.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ssb13:
Good to know. I haven't tried their tempered glass, only the film ones. Are they good? I'm also considering a case with one, but not sure I want to add the bulk.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] PDADoc:
I personally think they're good, and their customer service is excellent, but they don't make a glass protector for my Tab S2, which is what led me to try Skinomi. As far as a case is concerned, I really couldn't say, but theirs goes all the way to the edge of the screen, so probably not very case-friendly.

At this point, I'm seriously considering returning to Zagg, but I already have the Skinomi ones and I hate throwing away money. [emoji53]
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ssb13:
Thanks for the extra info.

The ZAGG glass goes all the way to the edge? for $10, I may just get another Skinomi since I know it fits with my current case. I had to return a screen cover once because the case wrapped around the side and kept pushing on the cover.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
Zagg doesn't go all the way to the edge, but it's cut quite large and is Halo-tastic. Other than that it's quite thick, but does have a very good oleophobic coating.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] cybertec69:
This is the one that is on my Note 4 now that has no halo effect AT ALL, because it flexes and the edges take the shape of the 2.5D glass, I have tried the rigid ones and they all have that ugly halo effect at the edges. I got it on sale for half the price, it's worth every penny, and you have to use the gray tips for the s-pen with it. You can not tell that the phone has a tempered glass screen protector on.

I got this one the other day:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BYFXCXQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Edges lift on it, same as every other glass one Ive put on. Just barely covers the screen. Im going back to one that at least covers the whole screen under my OtterBox.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] weseason:
I use glass4m protector for my note 4.

great protector and technology. just $12.99 and ship to anywhere :)

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Melissakis:
Today I remembered why we buy screen protectors.

One fall from 1.5m height on gravel and the result is on the photos. Luckily the screen is untouched. I always buy screen protectors in pair, the second serves as a backup., so no real harm done. I already ordered one more pair of the same, very satisfied.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ithehappy:
For a fall like that protective covers will do much good than protective screens, that one also got shattered maybe because it was of low quality, the actual screen might not even had a scratch.

All may might here anyway.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Melissakis:
Not sure about that. The phone fell face down, the glass hit the gravel and the two dots you see are marks made buy the stones, I could actually remove pieces of stones off the glass. I don't want to know what would happen to the gorilla glass. Probably it wouldn't break like that, but on the other hand I wouldn't like the tiniest piece of mark on my device.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] FAUguy:
So I've been using the black intelliArmor glass screen protector I posted about since last October. So far I have had no issues with it at all. It has not cracked (despite a few drops) and no scratches. It also has not started to peel off, but I do have a case on the phone that fits over the edge of the screen protector. The only dislike is the microdot grid, but it really doesn't bother me any more, and I only see it in bright sunlight reflection.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] woldranger:
Having seen all the issues that people are having with the glass protectors for the Note 4 I'm wondering about trying out something more flexible - any suggestions for a screen protector (not one of the matt, anti-glare ones though) that's more likely to fit the Note 4 without lifting? I'm waiting on delivery of my Tech21 case but if the other ones I've used (had them on my S3 and Note 3) are anything to go by, there's little issues with fitting around a screen protector - so that's one thing I shouldn't have to worry about.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] alexsoin:
I bought exact same protector and in black and silver from your ebay link like a month ago. Applied it basically w/o halo, barely visible half-millimeter line on the right side (doesn't bother me since it covers only black trim and not actual screen space). I think there's a possibility to put this edge-to-edge w/o halo at all but I'm not super handy person :) It looks a little tacky with silver bezels and I wish it was just completely black version of this one! BUT this protector doesn't have tiny dots grid like other edge-to-edge protectors have and it's a huge plus! It also has all the cutouts for buttons, cameras, sensors and everything works no prob. I also like not seeing Samsung logo on front panel something that Sammy designers might consider implement one day ;) There's been two relatively dangerous falls from about meter high or so on laminate flooring, both face down and not a single scratch on this protector. My Note 4 is in the tiniest/slimmest 1$ case from eBay which doesn't have elevated "lips" so protector is exposed to face down falls but holding strong so far :) Thanks for sharing your story and see my pix below!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] borijess:
What's the link?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Melissakis:
Here you are!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] DarkGuyver:
Will this screen protector work with the Spigen Tough Armor case?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Melissakis:
Don't know, I use a Spigen neo hybrid with no problems.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] DarkGuyver:
If it works well with your Spigen Neo Hybrid case then it should also work well with my Spigen Tough Armor case. As they are both two part cases.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ithehappy:
Two question if you don't mind answering,

1- How's the touch screen responsiveness? Do you feel like gliding over the original glass of Note 4, or does the protector feel sticky or something? I am talking about both finger and S Pen usage.

2- I see from the photo that the fingerprint sensor is kind of tucked inside the protective screen, does that make swiping over it a horrible experience than it already is?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] FAUguy:
So no microdots on this one? That is a first I think for an edge-to-edge screen protector, but it does have a small halo?

This intelliArmor one I've been using (in black) has worked great since last year. Two touch buttons are covered, but work. Only has a cutout for the center button, ear speaker, and proximity sensor at the top. So it has a very nice one-piece look to it. The only downside is the microdots that you see if there is a bright light reflection or outside.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015DVKJCO/
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Melissakis:
No, mine is not a two part case. Sorry, my mistake, my case is the Ultra Hybrid, I always confuse those! :o

Yes, definitely no dots. The cutouts are perfectly aligned to all sensors and selfie camera. The latter is rather important, my previous tempered glass had the selfie covered and the photos were just a little blurred, now they are much better. I'm not the selfie type of guy at all, but it's good to know that everything works as it should.

The first one I installed had a tiny, hard to notice, halo in some parts of the screen, the second one has not. I guess that depends on the correct placement or maybe some small manufacturing differences. The bottom line is that this one generally has very small to zero halo.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] alexsoin:
Hello there! Screen responsiveness seems to be the same. I don't use SPen a lot but looks like it works fine too. The only thing I should mention that edges have 0.1 mm or so of elevation (covered with brushed metal-like stuff). That makes left-to-right and vice versa swipes with slightly different feel, which is still better than those on clear glass protectors with edges being uncovered. Fingerprint works perfectly, I use it all the time as screenlock! Hope that helps!

Forgot one more thing, it's been a month or 1.5 months of using this protector and oleophobic coating is already gone but fingerprints are very easy to remove and there's no that very sticky feel like from some of those protectors with dots grid!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] wazzaman:
It is Gorilla Glass, I have nto tested this but the maker certified me that there is no halo.

Funny he send me the same photo you put in your post !! :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
It's not 100% clear, but the close-up picture looks like it has a little bit of halo to me, but to be fair it isn't actually applied, it's just laid on top.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] borijess:
I got this protector 2 days ago. I am really liking it. I still have some halo around the sides, not on top or bottom. Other than that it really looks good.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] weebeast:
True but i bought it for 15 euro and that's a lot if i just want to use it for a few weeks to be honest..

I also don't have any case at the moment so i bought this till my other case comes

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81R8-VZLSaL._SL1500_.jpg
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] NICEGYPT:
yeah this is a lot. I got mine to $7 free shipping to US. I like slim cases like this one. I don't like fancy cases specially I change my phone every 4 month.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] weebeast:
Yeh it really looks nice and you get 2 for 5 euro. I did order the UAG case from the US but it will take some weeks till i have it.

What will your next device be?:D nexus 6?:D
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] NICEGYPT:
Yeah maybe nexus 6. I had M8 it was fast with 0% lag. this phone is good but lag a lot for no reason. When I scroll it just freeze. I know in fact samsung is not going to fix anything they never did. So I am going to get read of it very soon.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] weebeast:
Strange, i do have lag sometimes but not that kind of lag. Mostly a bit of lag when installing apps.

The phone is amazing for me to be honest(i am upgrading from a note 2):D.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] borijess:
Doesn't spigen have lifetime warranty? Can we just ask for a replacement?

Sent from the TermiNOTEr 4! ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] thearch1tect:
I bought a case that looks just like that off eBay . Decent case, the only downside of it is that it covers up part of the speaker on the back.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] James62370:
I purchased a similar case off ebay. Besides covering part of the rear speaker, one of the bottom microphones is completely covered. It was very cheap so not worth returning. I am currently using a cheap plastic screen protector, didn't notice the curved screen issue until stumbling across this thread. I wish everyone luck in finding a solution that suits your needs.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ohbreeeezy:
Got my Spigen tempered glass today and it got no halo on it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] duykhang524:
I think Iloome just puts a black band around the screen to hide the parts where its not adhering to the screen.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ar216893:
Yeah, they use it for the iphone 6. I wonder how they do those with the note 4, since the note 4 has 4 different color, but thats just a film I guess (not glass) so it won't be difficult to make the color options
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Kawaisa:
the spigen looks good, guess I won't have to return them, looks good on the white phone

now if only I could order the phone...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Bubbled:
does the spigen have the ring around the home button, or the chunk out? i got a tech armor one for the chunk out style, but it halo's bad...

EDIT: Glad i ordered the tech armor because i had iloome on pre-order and cancelled it. seems most all the tempered glass is being pulled. we'll see if i get the updated (or revised) model from them which seems to work decently, but currently, there is a huge halo on mine all the way around :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Pedro2NR:
Nice! Could you please share the link?
