if this is the case then my screen just does not like tempered glass protectors... i've tried 3 of them... i am going to try one last time with the moko one...

i got mine on launch day... it would be interesting to see when certain phones were manufactured.

mine was manufactured 2014.10.04 in vietnam-->Rogers

I just received my Zagg HDX which isn't glass but has a 3H hardness rating and according to Zagg "extreme shaterproof protection". Will probably install it later today and post pictures provided there's no halo. I have high hopes that I am done with trying to find a protector that fits without a halo.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Caelrie:
Would the two of you mind posting pictures of your phones with the glass on them, please?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] WizeGuyDezignz:
Definitely post your results if you don't mind. I have that protector delivering to me soon and I'm curious if it's worth ripping my current protector off for it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sefrcoko:
Installed the Inskin on my Note 4 without any issues. Horizontally, the glass covers the viewing area/screen perfectly, but doesn't cover the whole width of the phone itself (i.e. not edge to edge). Vertically, the glass covers from the sensors at the top of the phone to the bottom of the home button (again, not complete edge to edge but the important parts are well protected). No halo for me at all, 9H hardness, and feels great to the touch and with the s-pen. Just bought a second one as a spare for the future. Using it with an Otterbox Defender case (from which I removed the built-in plastic protector).
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
I will post pictures of it both naked and in my Seidio Surface case probably tomorrow. Another forum member posted pictures of it installed a few pages back (like 5-10 pages) with no halo on an AT&T phone (which is what I have) so that's why I ordered it. That and the reviews on Zagg's website with no complaints about a halo.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sdlopez83:
Pics?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Josborne6:
Received two of the Moko's today. One didn't even have a screen protector in the package... the other was complete and I installed it. Again this was my experience, but with a perfect clean and straight install, there was halo on both sides and around the home button. I didn't waste time taking pics as the halo was almost identical to the supershieldz. If you want to see what it looks like just see that one. Not bad but definitely there. In the meantime I reinstalled the MyBat I had on until I tried the Moko and it went back on virtually halo free again. The halo on this one is so minimal I would find it hard to believe there is one out there that has less that isn't too small. Two more MyBat's on the way one for the wifey and one as a backup. Search over. Good luck all.

Grats on finding one that works for you! Sadly Mybat had pretty bad halo on my black tmobile as well so looks like curves are diff not just by carrier. The one I've been using that has really minimal halo is Verizon's branded flexible glass. I've ordered a few others to try and hope to find one that works but so far the vz one's halo is so minimal it doesn't bother me, so at least i have that to fall back on.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] yaoers:
Sorry for the potato quality but here it is. There's only a small halo on the left edge side if you can see it.

I'm crossing my fingers your results are different. I've read somewhere in this forum that zagg has said that the old and new version are mixed in together. I opened my extra and they are the same exact same size so I wasn't one of the lucky ones

Nowhere in that link it says it covers the curved edges, it just says the edges of the glass itself it curved.

Santa came early this year! And he was in the form of a UPS driver delivering my ZeroLemon Tempered Glass. I normally would have waited until I could post pictures to post but the suspense was killing me. CONFIRMED! ZeroLemon glass is 100% HALO FREE! This was on my Black T-Mobile variant. I will post pictures on my Wife's white one and mine as well when I have her phone too for pictures. Although they apparently have a lifetime warranty I just snagged two more just in case before they're gone. Pictures up this afternoon.

ZeroLemon on white tmo. Has halo. This exact same protector went on my black one halo free. I have more coming, I'll try another just to see if I got a "lemon".

OK, Put the Zagg glass on the white Verizon Note 4 and there is a slight halo on both sides and at the top. I got the glass on too high and this is what is causing the worst halo at the top. The sides are not that bad at all and if it was a little lower I would have been 100% happy.

I was going to pull it off and try the other one but think I'll live with this one for a while. It's on with no junk under the glass and I could end up even worst trying the second one. The side halos do not look that bad in person.

Think I should take it off and try the second one :confused:

I had a ton of problems getting decent pictures. Here are the best ones I could come up with.

I received my BOGO Glass from Zagg from their Indiana warehouse. I was able to confirm both tempered glass screen protectors to be the revised ones by aligning them with another tempered Zagg GLASS I had received earlier.

I personally don't like the GLASS; it doesn't seem to fit right in the Otterbox Defender Series case; the clips need to be hard-pressed. From what it seems, the tempered glass from Zagg is too thick. A customer service representative from Zagg advised me to go for the HDX rather than the GLASS. Good thing I had ordered the HDX on Cyber Monday and looking forward to that soon.

The Alpha Glass from Otterbox is now available on Otterbox's website; Otterbox claims their version of tempered Glass is thinner and is compatible with the Otterbox Defender Series case; I'll be receiving that soon as well ($27 dollars); I'm pretty sure there will be no halo in-sight. Otterbox took their time to release the Alpha Glass for the Note 4 on the Market.

I have the Zagg mirrored glass on mine, and have no halo. My wife's on the other hand has the regular Zagg glass and it did halo. Both are the black Note 4's.

Can you tell me what site you ordered your mybat from and which country the white N4 was manufactured? Got a white tmo from my motherland, Vietnam.

No halo on my black T-Mobile Note 4 with Zagg glass. Several others in this thread as well.

Seems like the black T-Mobile variant is the least susceptible to halo.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Ricey:
I'm not sure about this. I've tried over 10+ (inc Zagg) on my black T-mo and all of them had halo. It seems the curves are totally random and not by carrier/color.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jlczl:
True, not all of them are great but I've seen many more success stories for this variant than any other.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Ricey:
Yea, it's possible if the displays were from the same batch maybe? Others have screens that curve as much as mine does and it's annoying. Wish Samsung had locked in a curve amount instead of seemingly having it all over the place as long as the display worked.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] luci89:
Congrats, I think yours may be the revised version. It definitley takes up space around the edges and bottom than mine does.

***Reposted from the picture thread***

I had initially bought a JOTO protector, it had a halo like everyone else (didnt care), but it was too short and the bottom of the protector was like half-covering the capacitive buttons which made pushing the capacitive buttons strange. It was super smooth though, very smooth, almost perfect. I got a Bear motion since it seemed to cover better and while it fits perfect (still, with a halo), the coating on it is total crap and has a lot of drag....i hate to take it off, but it makes it annoying to use. Does it go away over time? anyone have any other options that has full coverage like the bear motion but doesnt have a crap coating on it?

I might just need to compromise with something that doesnt provide full coverage. Im not even worried about damage, it is just a tactile thing...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jlczl:
The Zagg glass has a great feel, it's crystal clear, and doesn't leave anywhere near as much fingerprint smear as the glass screen alone. To top it off I have no halo so it's the best option for me. YMMV
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] npsiwak:
Yeah, im not so much concerned with the halo as i am with the tactile feel, so i hate it if the edge of the screen protector doesnt go far past the physical home button or as in the case of the bearmotion, the oleophobic crap coating (which smudges like crazy). I may just go without a screen protector and be done with it at this point
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] johentie:
so i got the mako screen protector... it's going back!

1) halo

2) they put the screen protector on a big ass piece of plastic that says "Samsung Galaxy Note 4" and the outine of that branding somehow ghosted itself on the adhesive side and i was able to see it on my screen when turned off.

which one to try next??? Canada has such limited choices.. i have one coming from China i paid $1.19 for... if that works... damn... these big companies are doing something wrong!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Josborne6:
Yeah the card they put it on is really a poor idea. I thought the same thing. If you've got a black one try the ZeroLemon, white try a mybat. As always YMMV that's just what worked for me.

the cutouts are different from the pictures those.

Got my N910C today and also have the Verus IronShield case and Zagg HDX screen protector standing nearby. Gonna cut my SIM --> MicroSIM and throw a few pictures how it suits up on Monday.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] adorkablejuliep:
So apparently Zagg is working on yet another revised version? I'm on my 4th Zagg glass and they offered to send the HDX since there has been less reports of halo. Kind of sucks since it's cheaper and not glass but I can opt to replace it when the new glass is in stock. No eta as of yet.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Zagg is not working on yet another revised version. The revised version they recently released, is the same revised version being shipped to everyone; there is nothing you can do to resolve the "minor" halo (that folks are still reporting to the minimum) on the sides; Zagg will need to further expose parts of the display to compensate for halo, which would be idiotic since it would serve no good; other than that, Zagg might as well discontinue the GLASS for the Note 4 and issue everyone an instant refund. It doesn't seem logical for Zagg to revise their GLASS for the Note 4 again, unless they are able to make 2.5D Tempered Glass Screen Protectors; Um, I wonder how they might do that; and if they do, should send it out to all existing customers for free without us having to pay return shipping charges.

It seems you may have contacted them recently, and that's why have received this sought of message.

So the company compensated the halo by adding extra adhesive on the sides, or possibly, glue, lol. :D

I'm about to listen to Beyonce's Halo, when installing my Otterbox Alpha Glass when it arrives with my new phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] adorkablejuliep:
I would rather have partial coverage than nothing. I tried going naked because of all the halo issues and now have major scratches covering my screen from throwing it in my purse with my keys for 3 weeks *. I now use glass to hide the scratches. The halo already extends onto my screen a good amount so a smaller protector that intrudes a little bit onto the screen is fine as long as it intrudes less than the halo (which in my case is pretty significant, almost a 1/4 of an inch).

At the end of the day, I blame Samsung. I've never had a Sammy phone scratch as easily as this phone and went months with my S5 naked.

I'll also add I've never paid for shipping on any of my replacements with Zagg whether it be glass or other warrantied accessories.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
If you really want a tempered glass for the Note 4, I'd opt for the Alpha Glass, which is super-thin, case-friendly, but halo is still persistent.

When I spoke to an Otterbox Representative the other day, he convincing for scrap the glass, and stick with the HDX because there was no halo, and provided better shatter-proof protection than Glass. Best of all, HDX is a lot cheaper.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] adorkablejuliep:
Well yeah that's what my previous post stated that Zagg was sending me an hdx since it has no halo and whenever a revised halo free glass replacement comes, I could swap them out. I would say it is kind of a loss for me, since I paid for the glass ($40 at best buy which wouldn't accept returns on used glass) but I've also had 5 replacements with no shipping.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sah0724:
I bought the mybat screen protector but I messed up the install and had to take it off, I don't know how to install these properly.

Wasted 10 bucks, any videos how to do a proper install and csn i reduce the protector to make it stick and start from scratch?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tkoreaper:
Why would you blame Samsung? They didn't make the glass, Corning did and no one is forcing you to go without a protector or making you throw your phone into your purse with keys. The holo honestly isn't that bad... It's certainly something I can live with and most the time I never notice it's there.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] adorkablejuliep:
Because it's Samsung's job at the end of the day to QC the final product they build under their brand and who they pick to manufacture their parts. No one forces me to do anything with my phone but when you advertise a corning gorilla glass screen as scratch resistant especially against things like keys, it should be, whether it be corning or samsung. I don't expect it to survive rough play or drops or even someone taking a set of keys directly to the screen but large and deep scratches from being in a bag with keys and wallet for 3 weeks with no drops (I usually carry it in my hand 75% of the day and don't treat my phone recklessly as I always resell my phone). It's the first samsung phone I've owned that has scratched. Once they started using gorilla glass, screen protectors became obsolete for me and were merely just an option, not a necessity. Even the overall build quality of my specific phone seems subpar to prior phones I've had with them. That being said, I still love my N4, I just feel that my S2, S4, and S5 were more sturdy in comparison.

The halo bothers me. I'm a perfectionist. Even that screen gap bothers me. The fact that the Zagg glass home button alignment is off bothers me. Which is why I opted out of using a protector and paid for it dearly. :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tkoreaper:
It's scratch RESISTANT, not scratch PROOF... But these are statements made by Corning, not Samsung. Unless it's made out of diamonds or something similarly as hard, the possibility of it being scratched will always be there. I can take keys and nails and scratch my screen, but come out unscathed, but there are bigger culprits at play here that you never think of. All it takes is a grain of sand.

On a side note, I wonder if we could help alleviate the holo problem by first putting a skin on the screen? Something like this:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] WizeGuyDezignz:
Maybe you should get a different phone if those things bother you that much? The resale value is still quite high for the Note 4.
