Dang can you post pics? I just purchased one off ebay i might need to cancel
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] zen0s:
Oh god! Pulled trigger too early... everyone is getting inconsistent results. I think I'll just skip tempered glass protection for note 4 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] pongoface:
Sorry took it off. Bothered me so much. Wasnt as much the halo but you could see the adhesive on the halo which interfered with the screen. Put back on the spigen crystal until i find an acceptable glass route. Damn you samsung and the 2.5 glass lol
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] psygnosi:
You should contact supershieldz. When I ordered mine they gave me an option to wait for a fixed version which they suggested. I chose to wait for that version. I'm glad I did. ?

I ordered my supershieldz from etronic on ebay. FYI.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Kawaisa:
you want the revised supershields, not the old one
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] psygnosi:
Her is the email I got from etronic:

Dear Customer,

We would like to inform you that your order is scheduled to ship in Oct-13 because we just found out the note 4 has a Curved screen. So the film will not lay down correctly. We are making a correct one right now. The correct one will be instock on Oct-13.

Please let us know if you want to wait or cancel this order? We apologize for any inconvenience.

Best Regards,

Ann

I waited an got the corrected one.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] zen0s:
Did you get the revised version?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] pongoface:
I ordered it like last week. So i thougjt i would get the revised one. Guess not

Anybody try one of those Zerolemon protectors from Amazon yet?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] demize!:
well I cant wait anymore Im going to order the Iloome which seems to be the best bet but Ill try the flexi-glass model and let you guys know how it goes. Im about to order via Amazon along with a 32 gig Samsung class 10 SDXC. If anyone thinks the tempered Glass is better than the flexible glass let me know.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Geronimo.USMC:
Good luck. Report back!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Sabre27:
Demize,

Please report back on how the flexiglass fits re edges, how thick, heavy itis and how easy it is to fit etc.

If it is a great fit with no issuesper your feedback I will seriously consider getting one ready for when I get my phone. Thanks very much.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Jejebond:
Maybe, maybe notE (hehe). As the guy said, it seems to be curved to fit 2.5D... it could be, not saying it is.

He is waiting for it, he will answer if it fits... maybe... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ping325:
it seems like samsung make some modification to the latest batch of the screen ....

the latest batch solve the curve issue which faced by glass screen protector installation , this happened in malaysia ... not sure how is other country....

some photo references...exact same glass which is nillkin H+ of two different batch of note 4

I got my Supershieldz tempered glass yesterday from Eritronic on ebay, ordered on 10/20/2014. Two issues: 1) halo all the way around 2) short in width by 0.5mm, doesn't cover the screen portion completely.

Going back to my Tech Armor plastic protector. Eff this tempered glass bullsh**
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] demize!:
It is available on Amazon and directly from their website http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ESJ0NYM/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_ggutub0YNJKN8
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] JawjaBill:
Maybe I am confused about what the Halo effect is. I thought the Halo effect occurred when the flat protector extended beyond where the screen starts to curve causing a gap between the screen and the protector. I am ok with something that only covers the "business" part of the screen. I ordered the SuperShieldz off fleabay earlier this week until something better comes along. I would love to have that extra .5mm though.

Nothing. Nada. Nope.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tarpon6:
That's for the Galaxy S4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] demize!:
Oh ****... *cancels order, continues frantic search*:(
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sniickers:
We all have been duped.

Samsung made the screens this way on purpose so that we could not place a screen protector on them. That way after awhile they can brag about the superior quality of the screen from lack of damage. Are maybe they will make their own............. Either way it would be funny.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mocsab:
I am using the BODY GUARDZ - and it has worked very nicely for me - there is a very slight (less than 1/16 of an inch) bit of air that runs around the entire edge, but you can't even see it - and when I have the phone in the case (SPIGEN NEO HYBRID)

The Glass Screen Protector covers the entire working area of the screen but the edges are just before the outside edge of the phone - but I am pretty sure, no matter which glass you end up using, you will have a similar situation - as the glass just isn't flexible enough to 'curve' with the sloping edges of the phone. WHIch I think is what all of the Glass Makers are having problems with -

I bought it as a good temporay/maybe permanent solution - and so far, unless somebody comes out with one that is significantly better, I will be very pleased with what I have now....

I don't know if this helps you - but if you absolutely need to install something now, The BOdy Guardz Protector is the way to go. (it is expensive - I bought mine at ATT - but maybe you can find it cheaper online)

GOOD LUCK

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Pedro2NR:
No Halo so far. I will check throughout today and keep updated. I like it so far.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ezfreeze:
Since your glass doesn't run to the edge (smaller than the screen), there is no halo... I have the PowerAdd and the glass goes to the edge of the screen and has a halo (since the edge of the glass isn't curved)...

Wait the 2 days for the Iloome or Zagg or Spigen or whatever or grab this Inveloop now? Not sure if anyone had gotten this one in the thread so far http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L4NVKEC/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_b7Ltub0ZC9JNC
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
I think I'm going to order the iloome when it becomes available but I'm going to wait for someone to post how it worked out after they installed one. The case I have on order has a screen protector so at least I'll have something to protect my screen. If they ever ship my case.........
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Tikerz:
Those aren't tempered glass. This thread is about glass screen protectors.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
I was responding to someone who asked what some good regular Protectors were, to protect his device until some better glass ones came out.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Kawaisa:
Nvm..
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] deathshead:
The bottom line is that Mfg's need to figure out how to make a proper reverse 2.5d tempered glass panel,

Until then, all the current pieces look like crap and offer less protection.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Pedro2NR:
I couldn't find it online. I only found Tech21's case referred online. T-Mobile usually carries Tech21 so I called my local store about the case. They told me they had the screen protector too so I went for it. The store installed the screen protector. It doesn't cover the corners as stated above but it fits well with its case.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] inco9nito99:
Waiting for my store to have in stock. If they're anything like the Note 3/S5 I will definitely be keeping it! Will report as soon as I have it in hand and applied!

Does your Supershieldz protector cover the front camera?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Pedro2NR:
It was expensive and no extra charge for installation. I was impatient and pulled the trigger on this because my Note 3 shattered on me before. It has worked well for my wife on her S5.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
If you got a screen protector installed for $34.99 and it doesn't have the halo effect it was worth every penny. No one else on this forum has purchased a tempered glass screen protector no matter what the price was that didn't have the halo and/or adhered properly. Let us know if a halo develops. If it doesn't even though I have an AT&T phone I'll go to TMobile and have them install one as you can't find one for the Note 4 online.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ohbreeeezy:
My spigen tempered glass doesn't have a halo.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
You got the original one that hasn't been available for awhile didn't you?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] iowamoe300:
I can confirm the Tech Armor tempered glass protector has the "halo effect". I will be returning to amazon. I ordered a couple others off amazon to try and I will post results.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
Pedro2NR got a Tech 21 tempered glass screen protector not to be confused with the Tech Armor ones.

Tech 21 does not show one available for the Note 4 on their website. The Samsung ones they do have available are $34.99 & $39.99.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] RaymondPJR:
That one looks promising! It seems to cover more of the screen than some of the others. Problem is the picture is too small to really be sure. If I wander past a Verizon store.I could check it out.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] freebee269:
hello everyone. just wanted to post some pics of the combo i got in the mail today. i have the ringke slim case with the supershieldz tempered glass screen protector. i like the case a lot. it adds zero bulk to the phone and is not as slippery as i thought it would be. only con is the back can collect a little bit of oil from your hand. but it wipes off easy. the screen protector is a very tight fit. it only big enough for the amoled part of the display. it has zero halo'ing. and it was actually easy to put on because all i had to do was line up the sides to cover only the amoled part of the display since that as wide as it goes. you can see in the pics. the only con to this setup i can see is there is a gap between the case and the screen protector. but honestly it doesnt bother me at all. hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] T-sitt:
Spigen GLAS.tR slim, Is this Halo??? :eek:

I pre-ordered Spigen GLAS.tR slim for Note 4 on Amazon for around $25. (The list price was $39.99). It came in retail packaging and tempered glass screen protector had rounded edges. I applied it myself on my T-mobile Note 4 and I thought there was no problem with it, until now. The fact that the screen protector suddenly disappeared in store also makes me more worried.

What do you mean by halo effect? How bad is it?

Is this halo??? :confused::eek:

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Tikerz:
Didn't see anyone comment on this post. This would make perfect sense on why some people have no halo issues with Supershieldz (and other brands) and some do....
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ohbreeeezy:

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Tikerz:
I got my Supershieldz today and I've got halo along the right and left edges. Wish mine fit like yours.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] clanderson:
Yea, I agree.

Think there's any chance of an RMA? This exhaustive search for a screen protector is whack
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] pgibbons:
+1. The Supershieldz one I had fit width wise exactly the width of the screen and it still had a small strip on the right and left edges where it would not stay flat/flush with the screen (as well as above the home button and below the top speaker). It looked similar to the GLAS.tR slim pictures in post 488. It makes me wonder how any glass protector would fit the width of the screen since the Supershieldz one is cut pretty exact.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Tikerz:
If it weren't for the S-PEN, I would just use the wet application screen protectors like Xtremeguard, Ghost Armor, or InvisibleShield because those conform to the shape of the glass.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] freebee269:
i wonder if i have a diff manufacture date than yours and my phone's curve isnt as bad as yours? i know the supershieldz doesnt even go to the part of the glass that begins to curve. that's why i have no halo.

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

yes you have halo. look at the pics i posted. notice in yours around the edge the screen protector is not adhered to the glass and gives that halo look. now when you see mine, i do not have that at all. that's the difference.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Tikerz:

"Thank you for your email. We have made the Glass a bit smaller so that customers will not get the "Halo" effect from the protector. "

Now, If anyone has tried skinomi ones can they confirm this?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] JawjaBill:
I received the SuperShieldz today as well. The protective side arrived bare and unprotected and is a fingerprint magnet. I must have read oreo instead of oleophobic. It is just wide enough to cover the active part of the screen. Cannot complain because it was $6 delivered and will do for now.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ping325:
yes . . . I am a mobile accessories seller in malaysia . . . So far , I already apply on at least more than 50 unit of note 4 , none of the black work perfectly , the only white that work perfectly is purchased from non retails store and for white color only , I do notice the curve part is slightly different , there might be a chances samsung fix the screen halo problem secretly without reveal to the public , I believe newer batch of note 4 will solve the halo issue , I did contacted nillkin china and sgp korea , samsung release a demo unit for them to produce the glass before the phone launch so that they can sell immediately after launch . However , when samsung launch the note 4 , it seems that the phone is differs with the demo unit :crying:

The answer i get from Nillkin is " There is nothing wrong with our glass" :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
That's not a whole lot different than when the first phones that hit the market and had gaps on the sides. Samsung said that was how they were supposed to be. Now a bunch of people have posted they have no gaps on their phone's sides myself included. So obviously the gaps weren't supposed to be there contrary to what Samsung said.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Kawaisa:
it has been noted in the manual for the past 2 Note phones, so it is normal, whether or not you see it on your phone is irrelevant

I have the ringke fusion in clear and the fitment is not that great. The lower part where usb go is loose/worn. It feels toooo slipery on the back. Ringke is as difficult to get ahold of for support as finding a unicorn in the wild.

As for the tempered glass i have the bear motion. I like the cut out around the camera and the full circle cut out for the home key. The glass covers the outer area of the screen but theres a 8th inch halo around the whole glass cover. Bear motion sent emails that those with fitment issues should return their covers. Later they just said in email...keep the current glass dont send it back and dont email us about it. Were just going to send everyone who ordered a new revised one. Im yet to hear from them or receive the replacement

If it is a design/operational feature as Samsung said why would phones that have no gap be irrelevant? If Samsung said the gap is supposed to be there it should be there. They didn't say the gap didn't make any difference they said it was supposed to be there and you're saying they said the same thing in the last two Note owners manuals.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] efotonik:
Do you have experience with the wet application protectors on this device to know that they conform to the shape of the glass?

Do those wet-app products interfere with the use of the S-Pen that much?

I had a TechArmor film on my Note 2 and it seemed adequate - I never noticed any issues with the S-Pen that I can think of, maybe slightly greater slide resistance but it never gouged or tore. I also noticed in the Note 4 box there are replacement S-Pen tips, presumably for hard/soft surface?

I have a Supershieldz TG protector on the way but given the lackluster results here I'm not anticipating a great end result.

so my hw is rev 1.1, mfg date 9/24/14, it does have the halo affect when i tried on the supershieldz glass sp. the ones that does not have this halo thing, can you guys chime in what your hw and mfg date is? i have a feeling that my screen is curved at an earlier point on the screen, therefore those smaller SPs don't work correctly, and samsung must have made slight changes after Oct 2014, now we early adopters are SOL for any sorta SPs.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
I just looked at iloome's website to see if their new 8h flexible protector was available yet (supposedly tomorrow it will be available) and to my surprise they're still selling the 9h that leaves a halo. Based on forum members posting emails they received from iloome acknowledging the 9h protector was defective and did not fit properly I am quite amazed they're still selling it. I don't think you can navigate to it from their website but if you Google iloome note 4 it's the 1st result.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Pedro2NR:
It wasn't cheap. For the case and screen protector it was $34.99 each.

REV1.1

Black on T-Mobile

I had a little side and top/bottom halos with the Supershieldz glass protector.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Amd4life:
Same thing with mine, the front had no plastic on it (???), went on fine, slight halo on the sides (left and right), it just BARELY covers the active black screen. $6-cheap enough to keep, wouldn't recommend it though. It doesn't go far enough down towards the home button, leaving a pretty wide gap , makes the "feel" uncomfortable with the thin ridge of the case. I can easily see dust collecting within this gap.

Make sure you have it set right, their is absolutely no play in the width of the glass.
