I noticed tempered glass like the icarez tend to chip easily more on the edges. Had the zero lemon tempered glass, that had the halo but never chipped. Been a week with icarez and its chipping near the home button already.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] gummybear00:
Looks like you're all being ripped off by buying cheap low-quality materials from China. iCarez, Nillkin, etc, are all Chinese companies. I'm guessing ZAGG and the other US companies simply import the the chinese screen protectors and use their own custom packaging. $20-40 for "tempered glass" screen protectors? lol

here's the amazon link to that iloome http://www.amazon.com/iloome-Screen...&qid=1426553995&sr=8-2&keywords=iloome+note+4

Is there anything not made in China nowadays? I am guessing that at least 87 to 97% of the things you own in your house is made in China or has components or parts that is made in China.

Does this mean that the things you own are also made of cheap low-quality materials?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ronii_lyn:
I can confirm that the new iloome 0.1mm tempered glass does not have halo :D feels a lot better than the iCarez. Also, my phone is one of the ones that has the curve further in and was surprised it went down pretty easily! It seems that they've made the adhesive stronger (as I can't pull off the screen protector with regular scotch tape). Since it's pretty thin, it does have some flexibility to it but not as flexible as the iloome Flexmate and iCarez. It feels a lot more like glass (better oil resistance too) than the iCarez.

Arcadia link. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00RY...=8-1&keywords=Arcadia+note+4&pi=AC_SY200_QL40

The notification light is not visible at all. I am ok with it no big deal. The glass looks and feels great. For some reason it causes a slight issue with the proximity sensor during phone calls. When answering a call phone goes black which is normal. But when moving it away from face it doesn't wake the screen. You have to hit the home button to wake screen up again. I just set my power button to end call. If I want to wake screen back up I hit the home button. Problem solved.

What happened to the New Bodyguardz Crown :confused:

Guess it took a huge dump before they could even get it to market. :(:(:(
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] vicariouscheese:
Figured I'd go ahead and try the Arcadia. Wanted an edge to edge glass primarily and don't mind too much about missing led notifications.

Came in today so I'll take some pictures if I can, I have a white note and I haven't seen any pictures for that anywhere.

Being made in China increases the chances that whatever it is was made on a tight budget, but it in no way guarantees poor quality.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ronnylaborada:
True!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] borijess:
Ok got around to switching the tip to the gray one. It works it eliminates the drag I had with the black tip. Thanks now the spen is smooth with the Arcadia glass protector.

Anyone tried iloome flex for Note4 N910?

Not sure what other models they make...

Its a very flexible thin glass H8 antiscrach and does stick to all edges perfectly... Only down side is the price.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ronii_lyn:
They have a new tempered glass called the Screenmate Light which is 0.1mm thin, and no halo for me (pics on previous page). Smooth as glass. http://www.amazon.com/iloome-Screen...&qid=1426782734&sr=8-2&keywords=iloome+note+4

I've tried the Flexmate and got a very little halo from it (some people report no halo) and does not feel as smooth as the Screenmate Light.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Nitrous828:
Thanks for the advice [emoji106]

I'll definitely check it out

After what seems like absolutely months of waiting, I have finally got my hands on a:

Moshi Ivisor Glass

That gives 100% screen coverage and best of all NO HALO, clarity is awesome too, I've taken shots to do one of my reviews and will do a separate full review out of this thread.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] gummybear00:
Alright people. Time to stop getting ripped off by overpriced Chinese glass.

Cailifu makes a full screen glass protector for the Note 4. It covers the entire screen with a cutout for the finger print scanner. There are transparent holes for LED notification light, front camera, etc. Goes for about $10 and solves all of your 66 pages of problems. I can't tell if these are real posts or ones made for marketing purposes.

The con is it seems to attract smudges and blemishes. But not really noticeable once the screen is on. Any oleophobic coating will probably wear off over time. I'll probably use car wax as an anti-fingerprint coating.

How is your Tech 21 screen protector working out?

Don't know if you saw this thread, http://xdaforums.com/note-4/accessories/best-screen-protector-t3049246/page2 someone else posted about excellent results using the Tech 21 and I remembered you posting about your Tech 21 in the beginning pages of this thread. I was just getting around to ordering the Tech 21 and would be very interested in hearing how yours has worked out after 3-4 months.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Burginthorn:
262 pages of recommendations?

I suppose simply asking which screen protector is best, offers complete glass coverage and price is no option, narrow down my chances of someone being kind enough to offer me a recommendation and save me reading 262 pages please? :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
It's more like 262 pages of glass protectors that don't work, either they installed with a halo or the edges/corners lifted/chipped.

If I'm up to date with what fellow forum members have been posting the Arcadia is (I think) as close to a full screen protector as your going to get that works but it blocks the notifications LED in the upper left hand corner. Problem with a full screen protector is the 2.5 glass Samsung used for the screen which curves on the edges. No glass protector manufacturer has offered a conventional full screen protector and just about all of them have not been able to produce one that installs w/o a halo that covers only the flat portion of the screen because the amount of flat screen varies on different carriers phones because they were manufactured in different countries.

I'm think I'm going to try the Tech 21 screen protector which another forum member recently posted on another thread about having excellent results with. It isn't glass, it's expensive @ $35 plus shipping probably but if it works it works. I currently have the iCarez glass protector which others have posted is no longer available on Amazon but I don't recommend it. It does apply without a halo but the lack of resistance to fingerprints & dust is the worst I've ever seen. I also have a scratch on mine.

You didn't mention if you use a case or not and if you do that is a consideration especially for a fuller screen protector.

If you read maybe the last 5 pages or so of this thread it will inform you of which protectors work because basically all of the pages previous to that are about the ones that didn't.

I am using the ivisor glass by moshi..

No halo because the bezels are designed to match the area around the screen. Pricey at $45 but I get a discount on accessories at work.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Pedro2NR:
I didn't come across that thread. While it is a great screen protector that does the job and still no halo, I do see a flaw.

In the bright light, I see the screen protector become yellow.

I will take pics and share with them. As a protection with the screen protector and the tech 21 case, my phone feels damage proof. I have dropped it a few times in the parking lot.

That Versus Thor is a really nice looking case and very reasonably priced. According to another forum member on this thread http://xdaforums.com/note-4/accessories/best-galaxy-note-4-t2866923/page100 it''s highly protective & functional too. If it had a kickstand I'd order one although considering the kickstand on my Otterbox Defender makes my phone fall over almost every time I use it maybe I'll order one anyway. I still haven't been able to get past losing the notification LED with the Arcadia protector. Since I use my phone primarily for business when I step away from my home office desk with the phone sitting on it I need to know if I got any phone calls/emails/texts without having to remember to check the phone which I never do unless the LED is flashing.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Burginthorn:
Thx for the replies, muchly appreciated :)

I ended up going with Invisible Shield for the screen protector and a fantastic looking case called the Kommandant from Casefanatic.

Here's a link if anyone's interested in checking out the case (I've ordered the Red Fury & the Raider) http://www.casefanatic.com/samsung/galaxy-note-4/case-galaxy-note-4/casefanatic-kommandant-galaxy-note-4-ultra-thin-aluminium-metal-case/
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ronnylaborada:
The red furry looks really nice. I hope that this will not weaken the phones signal reception. Can you test if it would affect signal reception?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Burginthorn:
According to this [YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKK3lClgf1o[/YOUTUBE] the case does weaken reception, but of you watch the clip he explains further.

I haven't received delivery of the cases yet, but when I do I'll post up results.

Yes, please give us some pictures showing the yellowing.

What case were you using when you dropped it?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Ammarious:
Finally I got the Arcadia screen protector and here is my initial feedback

1. I managed to install it with no bubbles in a short time. any encountered bubbles should be dragged to the edges in a one shot to get it out.

2. It is an edge to edge protection.

3. The sensors, including the call sensor, works perfectly and the screen turns off when the sensor is covered.

4. There is a small bubble on the upper right sensors that I am ok with staying there but that is not a halo.

5. The lights of the back and menu buttons get through and it is not covered in black as some reviewers said.

6. I have the zeroshock case that works as the crown for this screen protector :)

Please feel free to ask for any pictures or post any inquiries.

Take care.

Here is my Tech 21 screen protector updates pictures. Yellow tint

The case I am using is a tech 21 case (not pictured).
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] vicariouscheese:
Soooooooooo I got an Arcadia and managed to completely botch the installation. First try looked good, but had one tiny bubble because of a speck of dust I missed. In the process of trying to get it off I somehow managed to get a ridiculous amount of dust on the adhesive... After several tries it just has bubbles everywhere and the dust remover they included was full of dust and wouldn't work anymore!

And to top all this off, they are now out of stock and I don't see a way to contact whoever makes this screen protector directly. I was just going to buy a second one since I love the look and feel and it was my own damn fault. Now I'm not sure what to do!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] gummybear00:
Update on the Cailifu full-screen protector: full screen coverage is good but it's a huge fingerprint magnet. There are smudges and fingerprints all over the screen.

I have attempted to try it. I'm sure they are. Once I get a replacement for my wife's phone, I'll let everyone know.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] kopower:
I just purchased the Zagg glass protector from BB for $20. The nice thing is they install it, and it has a lifetime warranty. The gal that put it on said I could come back if I didn't like it. Well, after a few days, it has the halo effect. It's a nice size 1/4 inch ring. Looks like I'll be heading back, and getting a refund. From reviews I've read, it appears Zagg knows about the improper fit, and is not changing the design. Looks like I'll be heading back to the store, and getting a refund.

So glad I read this as I was about to go pick one up for $18.99

It's really too bad. Besides the halo, it looks great, and is very smooth. I'll have to throw up a pic when I get home from work.

Edit* Here are the pics
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] gummybear00:
Second update. Apparently I put too much car wax on the Cailifu, which made it smudge like crazy. After 2-3 days and wiping off most of the excess wax, the screen protector is clear, smudge-free and awesome looking.

Therefore. Just buy the Cailifu, $10, for full-body coverage and use some paint sealeant or car wax as oleophobic coating. The Arcadia screen protector doesn't even have a proper cut-out.

There you go, $10 + some cheap car wax = the best full-body glass screen protector for the Note 4. Here is the Amazon link.

zagg hdx

I finally got around to removing my Otterbox Defender's built in screen protector and removing the iCarez glass protector to install a zagg hdx I've had since early December.

Had it not been for a botched install I think I'd be done. After I did the initial install including using the zagg supplied plastic wedge removing the protective film caused the whole protector to come off my phone. So...........I spent the next 45 minutes cursing profusely whilst trying to reapply the hdx getting dust stuck to the underside of the hdx numerous times. I was in the bathroom & of course the hot water tank was empty but it was still humid. Fortunately I had the dust removal stickers that came with the iCarez or I'd have been all done when the hdx lifted. Every glass screen protector should come with those stickers.

Here's my brief review of the zagg hdx, I like it. No halo hardly any fingerprints and no dust. In comparison to the iCarez glass IMO the zagg hdx is far superior. I had to clean fingerprints & dust off the iCarez multiple times per day. I haven't cleaned the hdx once since I put it on two days ago. It's difficult to judge the difference if any in screen clarity however zagg claims "extreme clarity" and I'm satisfied with it. In a Defender case the top of the screen protector is covered. The bottom & sides are exposed and two days into it I have no lifting. If it wasn't for the fact I had to pull the hdx up about an hour after the install causing damage to it I'd be done. I'm going to change tips on the S Pen to see if it makes any difference as I don't use it for anything but writing & it seems to work fine in Evernote. So I'll file a warranty claim and get another hdx provided there's no lifting of the bottom corners or side edges after a couple of more days.

And no, I'm not posting pictures of the botched install & I know the hdx isn't 9h tempered glass. At this point all I want is no halo, minimal fingerprints/dust and good clarity all of which the hdx has. 5 months after getting this phone I just want to be done with the protector issue.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
That sounds like bunches of fun. You still using the Defender case?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
Yes I'm still using it. There weren't any scratches on the phone when I took it out to install the zagg hdx but I've only been using it for a couple of weeks & haven't dropped it.

I've been criticizing the Defender's kickstand and I believe I was using it incorrectly. I had the beltclip rotated 180 degrees from where I think it's supposed to be for kickstand mode. For that I blame Otterbox because their instruction sheet doesn't show how the beltclip should be orientated to use the kickstand feature. I like the case. Much like the screen protector I just want to be done with accessorizing this phone for basic functionality. Wish I would have ordered the Defender last October instead of foraying into Seidio territory.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Do you see any wear spots on the painted edges near the 4 raised corners from the phone being in the Defenders shell. You might have to look close and at the right light. Let me know when your see?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
lol, I'm not taking that case off until I get the new hdx, too much of a PITA for someone as mechanically declined as I am.

I keep my phones for backups when I get a new one and never take them out of their cases unless I absolutely have to so if the Defender does cause a little damage it doesn't make any difference as I'll never see it. I wouldn't know what other kind of a case to get anyway plus I'd have to resize my CraigsDocks car mount/dock for another case which is no small task so I'm sticking with the Defender.

My hdx is still going strong after 5 months.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
I just ordered my hdx replacement & got Zagg to waive the shipping. This time I'm going to use the plastic wedge to hold the protector on the screen as I peel the protective film off.

I really have my fingers crossed that I am done with the screen protector issue after I install my hdx replacement. 5 full days after my original install I have zero lifting.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] eksoccer99:
For reference. I just paid attention on others good install; placement around home button, top by speaker and then line up the edges with actual screen. Good luck.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
lol, I actually managed a good install both before the protector completely lifted off when removing the film & after by using the iCarez dust removal stickers. And for someone with my level of mechanical declination that was no easy feat!!

Problem is after working on it for at least an hour I stopped for a good hour to eat dinner and when I got back to it I had to pull up the lower right corner to get a tiny spec of dust out. When I did that the hdx had adhered so well it wrecked that corner. It's not perfect on the top either because I had to lift it so many times to get dust specs out but I can't see that because the Otterbox Defender case covers the the top.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] furfmonkey:
how does the HDX hold up with s pen use?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] eksoccer99:
I switched the tip out to the Grey one and it's smooth as butter. The black tip was a little grippy/drag. Took the suggestions from in here and tried it. Couldn't believe the difference.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] vicariouscheese:
I'm upset that arcadia is now out of stock... Received an email saying that they would be back in 2-3 business days like two weeks ago!

Wondering if I should just go with a moshi or something and put a dbrand skin on top of that :P Just hate the cutouts for the samsung logo and capacitative buttons.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] eksoccer99:
Wish they would put back the notification light on the arcadia. I'd buy one then
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] borijess:
Just so you know I have the Arcadia and still love it even without the cutout for notification. So I emailed Arcadia asking why they are not selling the glass as of now. Their response was they are working on improving the product. Hopefully that means adding the cutouts. They have a 10 month warranty so I would be able to get a new one. Just as long as they keep covering the Samsung logo. That's what makes this Glass so sexy the nice blackout look it gives you.
