[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] WizeGuyDezignz:
Trust me, I know. I work for a large company and part of my job is buying promotional items to give out at trade shows, etc. You might be surprised at how much these phone cases and accessories actually cost. Some of these cases that we are paying $10 and up for cost literally $0.25 each when we buy them in bulk. It's insane.

Paying the money that people pay for a piece of glass is also insane. Not to mention how stupid they make your phone look.

If it's not going to cover the edges of the glass anyways, just get a 5 pack of Chinese protectors for a couple bucks. It will look better, protect just as well and save you a bunch of money. All these things come from China anyways.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] airmaxx23:
The regular type protectors do not protect as well as a tempered glass protector. One of the big advantages of the tempered glass is that if a phone is dropped the protector may shatter but the actual screen will not. A regular protector does nothing to protect a screen from shattering. I've personally seen 5 instances when a protector shattered and the screen was fine. Also the regular protectors look and feel like crap after using the s-pen with them for a while. Can you take a knife or razor blade and scrape it across a regular protector and say that it will not leave a mark?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] WizeGuyDezignz:
How are you sure the screen would have shattered with a different protector on? You don't.

And why in the world would I scratch my screen with a knife or razor blade? If for some reason the protector gets scratched then replace it for cheap.

Sounds like someone believes in marketing too much and is why I still have a job in marketing lol.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Venom0642:
Lol agree with you there damn phone is over 800.00 and i know i wouldn't want to scrape or scratch my phone on purpose! :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] airmaxx23:
I've seen dozens of phones with regular protectors get dropped and result in a shattered screen, I have yet to see any broken screens on a device with a tempered glass protector, just the protectors have broken. I replace screens on devices as a side job so I've got a big sampling to go by. If they offer the same protection a regular protector should hold up fine to a knife/ blade or even keys for that matter.

It's to prove a point, I've scratched at my tempered glass with an Xacto knife to show people that they do not scratch very easily, you would not do that with a regular protector. If someone is confident in their regular protector I'd like to see them do it, I'd be more than willing to post a video of me scratching at a tempered glass protector with a razor. They do not offer the same protection.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] deathshead:
The real morons here is the Phone MFG's.. they should build the screens recessed IN and sell replacement tempered glass in 3 packs instead

of fusing glass to digitizers.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] zeuswsu:
I see what you are saying wiseguy, but i do think glass protectors are superior. For some reason film protectors make my thumb skin raw, I don't experience that with glass protectors. Also the visibility is a bit better with the glass. I have what I consider a perfect install with a film protector, but I'm still on the lookout for someone to make a decent glass protector for the reasons listed above.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] iunlock:
Correct.

Not all screen protectors are created equal.

Glass > Plastic.

You can scratch those cheap plastic ones with even your nail. Since the introduction of glass, the plastic ones are worthless for many reasons ... s-pen being one of them.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] kzoak82:
Not to go off topic, but hope someone experienced with different types of glass protectors could advise. I have the BM with no halo however I posted a while back thatbit has become a finger/smudge magnet and doesn't wipe off that easily. Do these things have a coating of some sorts? Only other glass protector I've had is the iCarez on my G3. Smudges and fingerprints prints could be wiped with one swipe and it did not degrade over time. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] evoxsin:
That sounds like the axact same reply i got. Seems like a general reply for a second complaint ...

I emailes the same Catherine with.

I dont want my money back i want the original first glass i received from you in a not cracked state as it had the lwast halo on my phone.

And no reply
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] borijess:

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] borijess:
Yes it is. For those of you like me that ordered a black note 4 and a spigen glass protector. It's going to probably irk you so much that you might want to have a backup plan. I bought these screen protectors for 99 cents. Just in case I can't stand the look of the glass one. Or until someone comes out with a better one.

I looked the picture that you were talking about. Darn, I ordered a black note 4 and spigen glass protector and it looks really bad together. This isn't good for me. I wonder if Best Buy can change my pre-order color to white...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] randpost:
The glass on the note 4 starts curving where the screen stops. I've tried 3 protectors so far and the all don't adhere on the edges since they all extend a mm past the screen. I may go wet apply if I can't find a perfectly cut protector (either glass or plastic).
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mrma0100:
"NILLKIN Amazing H+ Nanometer Anti-Explosion Tempered Glass Screen Protector" does not fit properly. it also doesn't adhere on the edges.

please guys whatever screen protector you buy please share review and photo quickly to help find best one.

yes. as compared to spigen and their price this is comparatively better. (i paid TOTAL $3.35 +Free shipping for this screen protector on ebay. )

here are few more pictures from different angels
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Silent25r:
Is this because they didn't have a demo to make it on? I know the argument that the curve stops the glass from working but if it doesn't work why put your name on it and sale it? You'd think they would have tried to get it working.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
It's coming directly from Zagg's Warehouse in Indiana (shipped via UPS 3-Day Select0. I had to confirm with various representatives regarding the revisions made to this product. The item was backordered for many in the past couple of weeks and now available for those that ordered earlier. They removed the old stock. Chances are, if you buy at your Local Best Buy, you will be purchasing the older halo version. I strongly suggest you order from Zagg and definitely use the 10% off coupon (VIPCALL). :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
I've email Zagg and was told that they were still shipping the old stock and it would be a crap shoot if I would receive the revised version or not. :eek:

Let me know how it turns out. :confused:

Some of the Zagg reps say the newer one is "Case Friendly" but even the original halo ones had "Case Friendly" on the packaging.

Check this video showing the original "Case Friendly" halo version.

Tested EZguardz tempered glass and got mixed results. Not sure if the glass quality is built differently or each screen is built differently. Mine (Black) got very small halo, probably 1-2mm of halo. Comparing to my GF (white), halos are pretty noticeable.

I just installed my new mybat screen on my verizon note 4 and I have about 1-2mm of halo on the sides. Going back to film. I have a pretty good replacement policy on my phone, I may just go naked.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] teamnoa:
Last week, I returned my Black Note 4 becuase I wanted to get the white one. Black N4 had the Spigen GLAS.tR which fit perfectly. But I was not about to spend another 40 dollars from B&H again to get another one.

I did get in the mail an XtremeGuards Spartan Glass Screen Protector which I had forgotten about around the same time I processed the return for the White Note 4.

After hearing mixed reviews, the XtremeGuard tempered glass fit rather perfectly. No noticeable halo, however you do have to be pretty precise. Initially I could see maybe half a mm of adhesive not all the way applied correctly, but you can just run your fingernail and apply pressure along the edges to help it stick down.

Otherwise, I am happy to report the XtremeGuard tempered glass is a good fit with no halo.

Using a T-Mobile Note 4 variant in White.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Buji:
well, if there is any truth to the theory that some carriers have more flatter screens than others, it sounds like fewer people have problems with halos on tmobile...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sdlopez83:
I would say complete opposite reading this from the beginning.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
What about the AT&T variant?

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

You will be shocked to know that EZguardz is the same company as XtremeGuard (the same company that makes the spartan tempered screen protector). :p

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------

XtremeGuardz was selling the Spartan for $6 including shipping on Black Friday with the 90% coupon. I'm pretty sure this is how much item is valued anyway since many experienced mixed results. I wasn't going to spend the extra dollar; but thanks for sharing your experience.

I guess Zagg is also making Zagg Customers fools for purchasing an item also worth less than $10 dollars. Brand doesn't really matter. The only aspect which is eye-catching from Zagg is their life-time guarantee, however who really does own their devices for 2+ years? Also, you would need to pay for the replacement (technically speaking the shipping cost) during the warranty.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Hey buddy, as per your request, the pictures are attached with this post. I do see that I received the revised version based on the smaller cut size compared to a regular PET film protector for the Note 4. Hopefully, I'll be able to install this glass on Monday, when I receive my fourth Galaxy Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Thanks for the pictures. Please let me know how it turns out.

Why you on your fourth Note 4?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Typical Samsung Quality Control Issues. Many are reluctant to see these issues on their devices, because either they have purchased the device on contract or had a free upgrade. I paid the full price for the phone without contract.

Will definitely post pictures of the Zagg Glass once installed. Cheers
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
Many of us really don't have any issues with our Note 4's though, that's not being reluctant to see them, we honestly don't have any. I got mine on the AT&T Next program, mostly because I can't afford to shell out 900 bucks all at once.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
When and Where did you purchase your Note 4?

I'm not denying that you don't have any issues with "your specific device."

I'm not saying everyone has the issues on their devices; I expect most not to report any issues, because there shouldn't be any issues with the device. However, there are threads with users specifying a wide range of problems they having with their devices; some are not taking the time and effort to see if their phones are affected for a wide variety of reasons (many made a huge investment in the Note 4). There's a good chance your device is fine; however, the end result may not be the same for others; whereas others will have to go through countless exchanges until they find one they are content with. Many don't really have issues, also because they don't really care and know that they are simply waiting for the "The Next Big Thing." There's a degree as to how far one is anal. In the general norm, these devices don't have any issues, but if you search through threads, specific users are finding issues they least expected.

Cheers :)

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
My Note 4 works perfect with no problems but there are a couple small imperfections in the paint finish on the sides. Looks like a little paint chip by one of the microphone holes on the bottom and a little black spot near the top headphone jack. These were on the phone new, fresh out of the box.

If I exchanged it I would more then likely end up with something worst. :p

Just wish I could find a decent tempered glass protector. :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Thank you, I greatly appreciate it. I wasn't aware of any AT&T corporate stores; but now I do, thanks to you. :) Perhaps I should resort to a Corporate Store for my next purchase. :good: I've been sourcing mine directly from AT&T's Warehouses in Fort Worth, Texas and Memphis, Tennessee. These are the newest available stocks with a Build Date of November 6th (according to Samsung's Registration Portal). It seems newer is not always necessarily better. There is a good ratio though; I do look forward to a positive result with my next Note 4. Cheers.
