Since you didn't get the 10%, perhaps it was a courtesy upgrade to UPS 3-Day Select. Their warehouse is based in Indiana for East-Coast orders, so you should get it by the end of the week. I ordered another one as well with Estimated ship date of Dec. 2nd. Hopefully, the order gets here soon.

---------- Post added at 12:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 AM ----------

Ah, I'm assuming for that for West-Coast Orders. Since I'm on the East, Zagg uses their Indiana Warehouse. Definitely keep us informed with your Glass screen protector and whether or not you receive the revised version as well.

This is Off-topic, but Otterbox is providing 25% off their cases as well. I just ordered a Defender Case for a pleasant price.

---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 AM ----------

On-Topic: Otterbox is going to release their Alpha Glass very soon, pricing similar to the retail cost of Zagg. Will be interesting if one of us can get hold of a review sample. :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
What color defender did you order?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
I ordered the Black Color for all three layers. My total was $46.

Here's the link for the Alpha Glass,

They have Clear and Privacy versions. Soon to be released.

I just put the Hapurs screen protector on my ATT Note 4 today and there was no haloat all. I was very pleased with it. However, I stupidly tried to take it off to reposition it, and it broke! I've got another ordered. If it fits like this one, I'll definitley be happy.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Josborne6:
Nice! It was halo central on my black tmo variant.

How will I be sure that I receive the revised Zagg glass? The width that only covers the actual display area?

Is this the old or revised version in this video?

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] zeuswsu:
The mybat has some halo issues on my verizon note 4. The coating they use is great though, very smooth and finger print resistant. I'll probably keep it on and try to ignore the halos
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] inco9nito99:
Just got a ZAGG GLASS and major halo =(.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] vectron:
Heard from some manufacturer that Note 4 varies from a display to display with a different degree of edge curvature. Somehow I don't buy that...

Either way, as I mentioned in another thread, you can add 2nd gen MIME Ghost to a list of halo effects. Will try otterbox alpha glass when it's released. Noticed Seidio is working on Vitreo though they're known for making it very thick, had it on my old note 2. Also heard DBA was looking into one as well (nano glass).
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Where did you buy yours from? Best Buy? I wouldn't buy anything from Best Buy.

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

You will need to do a mock-alignment on the display of your phone. If the width of the Glass Protector is less than the width between the left and right bezels of the device, then you know its the revised version (Zagg cut off 2-3 mm from both sides of the Glass).

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

Yep, its the width that only covers the actual display area. Oddly enough, the date that video was uploaded to YouTube was on October 16th, 2014. Zagg manufacturers hundreds of shields before the official release of the phone into the market. It is possible that the user in this video received a revised version. Surprisingly, no Halo on his T-Mobile Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
I saw a little adhesive problem along the right side of his screen but nothing that bad. I don't see how this could be a revised version being the date he uploaded the video. :silly:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Dat Noob:
So is there some kind of consensus on what is the best screen protector for the Note 4?

My last visit to this thread was like a 100 pages ago. Hopefully there's been some progress. Are companies still pulling their screen protectors from stores?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
Do you know if your Zagg glass was the revised version?

Where did you get it from?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
There's a good chance if there is halo, then is not the revised version. The only revision Zagg made to the Glass for the Note 4 was to shed off a couple of millimeters from both sides of the protector. If you look carefully at your Note 4's, you'll see that the display glass curves before meeting the bezel (a design mishap by Samsung I must say); and sadly the extent varies from the factory the phone was assembled in (Korea, Vietnam, or China). Precision 2.5D glass involves glass curving right at the point to which it meets the bezel of the phone not before meeting the bezel. Samsung is seriously disappointing me at the moment, however, I have faith that future Note Series Model will not pose this problem ever again. Hopefully no one quotes me a year from now. :p

On the other hand, I wonder what Otterbox has been cooking in terms of the Alpha Glass for the Note 4. Can this be the final solution? Keeping my fingers crossed. :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] inco9nito99:
I work for Samsung, inside of Best Buy... they had a shipment of product for Black Friday and this was on the truck.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] adorkablejuliep:
I got my Zagg replacement and still a significant halo. It only covers the width of the actual display and isn't bezel to bezel. The edges are more rounded off compared to my original but I'm starting to think my screen is more curved than others because the halo goes in so far and is consistent on all sides regardless of the protector. I don't know if you can see it from the picture but you can actually see that it is lifted off the screen on the edges. Also tested extreme guardz and cheap plastic protectors and halo on those as well. Tmo variant.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
I believe Zagg used the AT&T variant to test their revised version. Unfortunately, they can't make a separate Glass protector for each separate country of origin note 4. This is more or less a result of poor quality control on Samsungs behalf
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
This is very disappointing as I would think a new shipment would be the revised version. Are you using an AT&T version?

Even though I would like to take advantage of MacMall's $20 price I'm not going to order a Zagg until I see a picture posted with no halo.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
I have been going through the AT&T versions. Haven't been able to install the Zagg yet, because I've been going through multiple AT&T Note 4's. Hopefully later this week, I'll be able to post pictures with the Zagg Installed, provided the Note 4 I receive meets my expectations.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Which carrier has the worst screen when it comes to the tempered glass protectors? I have Verizon, am I SOL :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] spinedoc:
So the Zagg fits the AT&T version with no halo? From what I'm reading they just shaved the edges off to end before the bevel/curved glass, right? I hate the look of screen protectors when you can see the edges, looks so cheapie, especially the thicker glass ones. But I suppose we have no choice. Anyone have pics with close up?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] WizeGuyDezignz:
That's exactly my thought about glass screen protectors in general, especially for this phone. Since they can't go to the edge of the glass, halo or not, you're going to see the edges of the protector much more than a plastic or rubber screen protector because of the thickness of them.

I think it looks absolutely ridiculous to be honest and I will take my chances with the other types which have had a 100% success ratio for me personally.

I currently have the wet apply rubber type on my Note 4, and you can't even tell it's on. No joke. I can take pics if you guys are interested. It's from a company called IQ Shield. It's flawless.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] spinedoc:
I don't really love the wet apply ones, they always feel very rubbery and you can feel the stylus sink in a bit, feels kind of weird. I do prefer installing wet apply ones though, much easier.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] WizeGuyDezignz:
Believe me, I usually don't either. But IQ Shield did a good job. It is very smooth, clear and hasn't made any dents from the s-pen yet. My finger doesn't drag on it at all and you can only see a slight orange peel effect if you angle your screen under direct light with the screen off.

That's just my experience anyway. And if you don't like that, there are plenty of great plastic ones available. While they also can't go to the edge of the screen like the rubber ones can, you can't tell they are on either since they are thin.

I have the zagg hdx protector and it's smooth. No halo. No rubbery feel, imo. Pen doesn't dig into the material either. Hell a lot better than what I had on my note 2, (zagg spray wet application)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] spinedoc:
That's great, I think I'm going to give them a try. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

Does the protector end where the Note's glass curves?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] eksoccer99:
yes it does. Cut is the same as glass but no halo. Not gonna find one that curves for a long time.

So far I'm happy with this zagg hdx (plastic) and not wasting money like others in here. 1 and done.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] spinedoc:
Yeah not my cup of tea, it probably would look a lot worse without the case. It seems that's the best we are going to get for a long time, if not forever. Not only do I dislike the sides where you can see the edges I totally hate when they cut out the bottom like that instead of cutting around the home button, just looks unfinished and slapped on.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] eksoccer99:
I don't mind it not going with curve. It is what it is. Looks fine without the case because there's no awful halo at all. That you have on the glass ones.

Still looks professionally done.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
Which carrier's phone are you using? How is it for fingerprints?

The Zagg HDX may just be the ticket because according to Zagg it has "extreme shatter protection" and that's what I want. They also say it's case friendly and the fact that there's no halo is great. I think I'm going to order one and be done with it.

MacMall has it for $14.99 in stock w/ free shipping.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] eksoccer99:
Carrier is AT&T. Does collect some fingerprints. But with a quick swipe on some clothing it's fine. Haha. I'm happy with it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Ricey:
I have tried nearly all that was mentioned in this thread from mobilepioneer, zagg, supershieldz, mybat, some no name ebay and amazon cheapies, etc and all of them have halo of varying degrees on my black Tmobile Note 4. Seems mine curves pretty early compared to the rest so I do believe there are varying degrees of curve from each unit. I think the only option I have is to use a plastic one or wait until a company makes a flexible glass with actual adhesive on the edges.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] eksoccer99:
This is why I just went with the plastic kind (zagg hdx) after seeing this thread. And people stop wasting their money for now. Hopefully in 2015 we'll have a glass one.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Ricey:
Yea I had my doubts that I'd find one that didn't have halo after reading the thread but thought I'd try my luck. So I'd advise everyone that if you've tried 1 protector and it had horrible halo then to get a plastic/rubber type or go naked and wait it out (unless the halo doesn't bother you of course). I have spent probably around $200 on various glass protectors and none of them were good, so save your money and wait. I'm at the point where if I think the current plastic one I have (iCarez) is too annoying then this will be the first phone I go naked on the screen.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ridearoundsolo:
How about tech 21 screen protector? Anyone tried that yet? It's either that or glass for me but it would be nice to have something that goes with curved screen
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Josborne6:
No good. Fingerprint magnet and lifts in the corners. Particularly the top or bottom left corners.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] kabuk1:
I'm having the same experience as you, and I also have the black T-mo version as well. I think our model must curve more cause even the designs that others are reporting lay flat are lifting on mine. I've tried 3 different kinds and they all look like crap, halos galore, and even the standard plastic ones are lifting around the edges for me. I'm sick of wasting money so I'm probably gonna just go without for now. I have a chunky dual-layer case on it and I never keep it in close proximity to scratchy things, so I think I'll be okay until someone puts out a glass one that actually fits.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Venom0642:
T-Mobile is curved more than AT&T i compared my AT&T note 4 to my friends T-Mobile note 4 and his is way much curved.

The curves are not carrier specific. It's basically a crap shoot with any of them.

Wow, thanks for the validation. Glad I'm not just imagining this.

It makes no sense to me why they would use different screens. I guess uniformity just makes too much damn sense. Boo, Samsung :(

What's this "New Glass" called?

If it's the Bodyguardz = halo city also.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
I have an AT&T version so that's good to know AT&T stores have one that doesn't have a halo. I don't like $40 but if it fits w/o a halo that's the price I'll have to pay.

Did AT&T install it for you?

You're saying this AT&T glass screen protector covers edge to edge rather than just the viewable screen portion?

If that's the case it's the first Note 4 glass (or film) protector I know of that covers the screen edge to edge. Does it have cutouts for the camera & sensors at the top?

If this is an edge to edge protector that would explain why there is no halo. It's like the curved protector iloome makes for the iPhones with 2.5 curved glass screens. That would also explain the $40 price.

I think maybe you quoted the wrong person, I know nothing about any "new glass" :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sdlopez83:
Just tried mybat, and rhino shield, I messed up the instalation but i got no halo. After also going through around $200 give or take, I agree with my buddy up there and recommend not going with glass and just go with this plastic. ---BLACK TMOB

Zagg has the HDX for $12.49 & the invisibleshield glass protector for $17.49 on their website today for Cyber Monday.

How is the hdx protector and glass? Im thinking about getting one of these
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jagdesh:
I vote for rhino shield. I am using it got perfect on the second try no halo at all anywhere. Covers the screen part it's more hard than average plastic and wet rubber screen protectors but not glass ofcourse. Been using for a while now and it's great smooth s pen no drag...

http://xdaforums.com/note-4/accessories/tempered-glass-screen-protectors-t2878038/page146

At the bottom of the above page are pictures of the HDX installed with no halo.

I'm ordering one because the thickness is less than 1 mm which is what I need for my Seidio Surface case. The HDX is 3H hardness vs. their glass one at 9H but Zagg claims the HDX has "extreme shatter protection". Zagg's glass invisibleshield protector is 4 mm. Supposedly Zagg revised their glass invisableshield so it would apply without a halo but no one has yet posted a picture of one installed. While I would prefer the glass I don't think it will fit well with my Seidio Surface case and the case may cause it to lift. The 3 mm iCarez film protector I'm using now has lifting & bubbling issues.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] eksoccer99:
look back a few. I've posted my pics of the HDX protector. I had the iloome glass, but lifted at the bottom. The glass glass definitely feels nice, but wouldn't and couldn't stand to look at "halo". Just get the HDX and be done.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] inco9nito99:
I just put on the zagg mirror glass. Can barely notice the halo. This will suffice, as it still feels great.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] crazyassfung:
Are you using or heard anything about the new glass from them? I've tried looking it up and couldnt find a review on the new glass. Also I ordered the hdx but I really want the glass also. just not the halo effect
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] inco9nito99:
I tried the HDX and best buy mobile department couldn't get it installed cleanly so they ripped it off and gave me a regular glass (a new shipment they got for black friday). That glass had major halo. I went back in and they put on a mirror glass per my suggestion (free of course) and although there still remains a halo, the mirrored look conceals it pretty well.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Sorry..:)

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------

Just called Zagg and the Note 4 tempered glass protectors will not ship until the 12th :( She said they have been out of stock on the Note 4 glass for a while now.

Maybe I'll get the revised version if I live long enough. :silly:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sdlopez83:
Ugh, after using it for a day I have to say that it is a fingerprint magnet. So bad that it effects movies (as in I see magnified pixels from it) it's a trade off... No halo for smudges and fingerprints. I think I rather take the halo.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
I won't be able to install the revised Zagg GLASS screen protector today either. This Note 4 has a bad purple; pinkish hue tint on the bottom right 1/3 of the display; also, the device is overheating already! (its hardly been 5 minutes with this phone); the home button feels like its about to come loose and is creaky on both sides. Absurd! :crying: :( $900 dollars for this?! This could be batch related. All the Note 4's I've gone through already were manufactured November 6th, according to Sammy.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
That sucks. Can't you just take to a store and exchange it?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Yeah, you don't want to know how much I've had to put up with the AT&T Note 4. QC better get their act together.

---------- Post added at 12:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ----------

I really don't want to put with the folks at the store, because they all have different interpretations of what I'm experiencing on the Note 4. Samsung has been plagued by these issues for years now (since 2011). However, I usually do end up with a device I'm content with. The tint is insane, and I am sure I'm not being overcritical because the tint is present throughout the interface, such as the keypad dialer, menu options, and browser. I now have a good feeling that I should wait for a couple weeks for the next batch from Korea to arrive. Samsung seems to have rushed their last batch to the states in order to meet demands, thereby compromising integrity and quality of their flagship. I'm seriously not speculating here.

Seems like T-Mobile Note 4 users got a Note Edge and Note 4 All in One, haha.

The Zagg BOGO offer from Black Friday doesn't seem to resonate now; one GLASS is $17.49 and HDX is $12.49; 50% off!

---------- Post added at 12:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 AM ----------

If you think about it, costs Samsung only $300 to assembly one Note 4.

Zagg on the other hand, hardly spends a dollar to make one Zagg GLASS Screen Protector.

I'm beginning to feel the BOGO offer was eh. More are reporting better coverage with HDX.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
And the BOGO Zagg's that I ordered are not shipping until the 12th:(
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
You might as well just purchase one Glass; cancel the order from last week. In addition to purchasing just one Glass, purchase an HDX as well. Suppose you need to file a warranty claim for the Glass, you can install the HDX in the meantime while you wait for the replacement Glass to arrive.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
I hate places selling stuff they do not even have. Their site states leaves our warehouse Dec 2-3 Call them up and it's the 12th. :p
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
I ordered the HDX today for $12.49 (a viable backup in case I need to do warranty coverage for GLASS); also HDX provides excellent screen coverage. I plan to sell one of the two GLASS screen protectors I'll be receiving soon. The screen protector I received from Zagg via UPS recently is going back to them for a refund; it doesn't make sense paying $38 dollars for one tempered glass screen protector, haha.

---------- Post added at 04:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 AM ----------

Based on my recent experience with Zagg (took over 2.5 weeks to receive); you might as well consider December 12 as December 21, lol. :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] WizeGuyDezignz:
Hey guys, as promised, here are some pics of the IQ Shield, wet apply type screen protector on my phone. In normal lighting conditions and almost all normal usage, I can't even tell it's on there. The pics probably don't do it justice, but they are the best I could shoot at the moment.

As I've stated before, the protector pretty much goes edge to edge (almost) which is awesome but can give you some problems with certain cases I suppose. It is working fine with my Diztronic.

Also since someone asked, here is an Amazon link if you want to purchase. I'm sure you can buy it on their site too, but I always buy from Amazon with Prime lol.
