[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Ashton_Durkhun:
Just throwing in my $0.02 here.

I got a tempered glass protector off eBay (a lot that had a case style I liked and the screen protector for ~$8) and I love the protection it gives (my belt holster spun upside-down and released my phone, it fell FACE FIRST onto rough tile... the corner of the glass screen protector's cracked - below the screen so it doesn't effect visibility - but the N4's screen is pristine!)

I do have a slight issue like the OP mentioned though, the top-right corner of the tempered glass wont push down 100%, but it doesn't seem to interfere with the adhesion or visibility so...

My only complaint is that this protector is down as low as I can get it (literally ANY lower and it would start to cover the home button) but only ~80% of the touch-buttons are covered (lines up perfectly with the bottom of the glowing back arrow), so it feels strange using them. Also, I *seem* to be getting slightly more failures on the fingerprint scanner/home button because the top feels recessed now, but it still usually works on first-swipe so it might be my imagination...

I got the Invisible Sheild. The halo is pretty bad. (my bad i did not know any better when i ordered the phone). The install was easy, no bubbles or dirt and the functionality has not suffered. I have been able to use the stylus without incident and it works well. The halo just sucks but all things being equal...... I supposed I will get used to it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
Especially now considering the Lollipop OS senselessly removed lockscreen upper task bar email/text/missed calls/calendar & everything else icons. (this makes me seriously wonder if the developers ever actually considered common phone usage)

Without the LED you'd have no way of knowing from a locked phone/dark screen that anything occurred unless you were close enough to the phone to hear sound notifications (if activated).

If I stepped away from my desk & didn't remember to open the lockscreen (which I wouldn't because I'm used to the LED flashing) I'd miss notifications & since I use my phone primarily for business that is not an option.

If Arcadia updates their protector to show LED notifications (which IMO is a huge mistake on their part to make a protector that removes a basic functionality feature) the next question I have is does it fit with an Otterbox Defender?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] xdm9mm:
I see there are 2 types of these, from Zagg website. One is "case friendly" and the other one is "normal". Do you still have the packaging, and can you please tell us which model is this you have?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
I know you didn't ask the question of me but I think there is only one Zagg hdx model for the Note 4. There are 3 different Zagg Note 4 protectors, normal, hdx & glass but only one model of the hdx which does state "case friendly" on the packaging.

I'm using an Otterbox Defender and the hdx edges are exposed on the sides & bottom but covered by the case on the top.

Another forum member posted fairly recently the glass Zagg did have a halo (current one is 2nd N4 glass protector from Zagg) and the "normal" model I don't believe I've seen anyone comment on.

Zagg frequently has BOGO & $10 off coupons. I think right now is $10 off. The picture is of my no charge replacement which I just got in a week after calling them. Very good customer service and they are aware of all the halo problems, person I spoke with said she was glad I was one of their customers that didn't get a halo. I've read other posts mostly I think on Android Central forums about Zagg hdx users that had screen corner lifting issues a week or so after install, I've had no such problems.

Hope that helps.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] eksoccer99:
Yes this is the one, hdx
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] xdm9mm:
[MENTION=4983494]mty msi[/MENTION] = thanks for your input. I had a look at the zaggg website again, and there are three choices for Note 4:

1. Original

2. HDX

3. Glass

If you click on HDX, just below the price of the item, there is a button you can click if you want "case friendly" version

If you click on "Glass" there is also a button to choose "case friendly" version.

My understanding is that there are two versions of either HDX or Glass.

Or it could be a website error... I need to confirm this with them on Monday...

========================

Edit:

I tried a "mock" order, and you have to click the "case friendly" in order for the item to go to the basket, for both HDX and Glass, so I guess you are right...

thanks

I got one of ebay for cheap but there is a halo effect it wasn't bothering me at first but now it kinda bugs me, anyone can suggest a good tempered glass protector?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] PapaMag:
I had one put on the day I purchased my Note 4 at a shop called TrickedOut for $31 with a life time guarantee. I'm not sure who made it but it's the best protector I've ever had on a device.

[MENTION=5860476]felloffthetruck[/MENTION] don't forget SG6 has the same curve edges on normal SG6 like Note 4 so glass Protection will have halo same issues like Note 4 will happen.

I got a glass protector from Hong Kong and the edges are white so you cant see any halo effect.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] borijess:
Can u provide a link?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Babychan:
Sorry I should have said I got it whilst on holiday there. But I am sure eBay will have it cause you should get it all over Hong Kong. If not here something similar but tad more expensive

Is that tempered glass or PET film? How are the white sides? Do they stick? Any peeling?

thanks

It's glass I had it for a month and its been fine and has stayed on

There a lot for iPhone on eBay not so much for the note

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] kopower:
Had the Zagg Hdx screen protector put on at Best Buy. It's not glass, but looks good. No halo at all. Of course it doesn't feel like glass, but it's not bad. It's very clear, but a bit of a lint, and fingerprint magnet. I'm just glad the halo is gone...... For now
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
That's interesting that yours is a bit of a lint/fingerprint magnet because the thing I like best about my hdx is that it isn't a lint/fingerprint magnet especially compared to the iCarez 0.15mm glass I removed to install the hdx.

Seems much like different users getting different results installing various screen protectors with & w/o halos because of different screen curvatures. Others have posted they had no lint/fingerprint issues w/ the iCarez & mine was the worst I've ever seen on any screen protector.

If there's anything consistent about N4 screen protectors it's their inconsistency.............
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] dieselbuddeh:
I have a Zagg Invisibleshield Glass and have got a couple of questions. First i know the screen is round/beveled at the edges; but the halo in the one corner seems to be increasing daily. Also there seems to be dirt or oil under the screen and i cannot seem to get it out. Any idea to why these keep happening? Pictures are attached.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] borijess:
Was there an earthquake when you took and wrote on those pics?:D
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] eksoccer99:
Ji Ji jitters, lol jk
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] kopower:
My glass Zagg had a big halo. I'm sure after time, it would have increased in size, as it never properly sealed. Maybe the corner caught on something, and lifted off, causing lint and dirt to get trapped? I wanted glass, but the Hdx leaves zero halo. Will probably roll with that for awhile.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Conficker:
Very disappointing, for such a lovely device. I'm surprised there isn't a company that has brought out the perfect note 4 glass? What's currently the best on the market?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nscxp2005:
How does the screen protector work with the fingerprint scanner?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] borijess:
It works great no issues at all.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Ciloteille:
It goes around the button so it does not affect the use of the button. Works flawless for reading my finger print.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nscxp2005:
I wouldn't mind the Arcadia screen protector, but I would like the Samsung logo to be shown.

Is there any full screen glass protectors that have the logo showing?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mefistos:
Hi there guys... just wanted to show you my setup :)... Bought iLoome tempered glass protector with Dbrand skin... I had a little halo effect but its hidden underneath the skin :P
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mahdibassam:
Very nice . I was thinking of doing the same thing . But I was wondering if the skin fully adheres to the tempered glass ? Is there a gap between the edges of the skin and the screen since there is a gap between the tempered glass and the screen ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] lordlittlebrooks:
Skinomi Tech Glass

Just wanted to chime in. I was late to the Note 4, but I ordered the Skinomi Tech Glass and it's deliberately cut short now (can't say how it was originally). No halo at all. It doesn't cover the entire phone, but that's the tradeoff.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mefistos:
It does stick to the Tempered glass perfectly... there are no gaps.. the Skin is made to cover the whole front screen so even tho the iLoome screen protector is not all the way to the edges the skin is therefore you cant see any gaps... at least I cant with the Spigen neohybrid metal case :) its just perfection :):good:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] todd.kennelly:
I received a tweet today from Bodyguardz ...

The Crown for the Note 4 is expected to ship next week....

No Halo... ?

.....The reviews for the iPhone 6 Crown have been pretty good.

I'm getting one, will post observations... ;)

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] soraxd:
so I find it crazy to believe nobody's brought up sapphire screen protectors.. maybe my xda app is bugging out, 300 pages and I'm the only one interested? I'm looking for a sapphire screen protector, the best I've found are do it yourself sapphire sheets you can buy. does anyone know of anyone making these? surely some dude in his garage is laser cutting these somewhere out there right?

any info or leads is appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mahdibassam:
Are you actually serious ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ThePublisher:
OK after reading a million posts on tempered glass screen protectors, I'm still undecided. I have the Samsung Protective Case, but will also go naked once I get some glass on my Note.

Which one should I get? What has the most coverage with least/no halo? I looked for iCarez, but the 15mm is gone on Amazon. I don't want anything thick as I take great care of my device, just have it to protect against the micro scratches from pocketing.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mahdibassam:
Wait for the bodyguardz crown that gets released next week.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sniperess:
I can't get the sides to stick on mine! :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] lordlittlebrooks:
Not sure when you purchased yours, but I got mine this past Wednesday. All I did was line it up using the front facing camera and the home button and it laid down perfectly. I didn't have to let it sit overnight or keep a book on top of it or any other type of home remedy. Sorry that yours isn't lying down properly.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Where did we heard the Crown next week news at?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mahdibassam:
Bodyguardz twitter.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] TarheelChuck84:
Looks like the Bodyguardz Pure + Crown is available for pre-order for $45 from their website. I didn't see anything about when they're actually shipping though. Anyone?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] xdm9mm:
I will not be the first one to buy... I will wait for reviews and it it really fits without halo...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] TarheelChuck84:
I just worry it won't fit with a case. Defeats the purpose, if I'm gaining screen protection but losing protection for the rest of the phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mahdibassam:
I tweeted them about that. They said it will be compatible with cases.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
Not all cases. I asked via live chat and they said they don't have a list of compatible cases yet.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mahdibassam:
In any case, I placed my preorder just now without hesitation. I have already watched the reviews for the iPhone 6 Plus version, a device which practically has an identical curve to its screen, and i am extremely happy with what I saw. Its been months since the Note 4 came out, and until today I had to look at my halo-plagued screen protector and sigh in disappointment. The Crown is the solution. It is SEXY :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] xdm9mm:
congrats! please let us know how it performs, and post some pics..
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
I would love to have a screen protector without any halo. I want this but I also want to use my spigen neo hybrid. I have this case with the metal bumper and another case simular with a plastic bumper. I would rather the spigen but if neither work than I would have to buy another case.

What case or cases do you have?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] RaymondPJR:
Looks good!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mahdibassam:
Will defnitly post photos for everyone to see :)

---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------

I understand your point of view. But for me the protector is the priority. I am using the spigen Neo Hybrid metal at the moment. But I usually put a dBrand skin on my phones. I'm waiting for the Dbrand skin to arrive , it's in the mail. I really don't like the bulk and weight that cases add. That's why I love Dbrand, it protects every inch of the phone from scratches , while the crown will protect the screen. I really don't like to cover the beautiful design of my phones with cases.

I will post photos in this thread once my crown ? arrives so you can see how it looks. I will test with the neo hybrid too.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
Awesome, thank you!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sniickers:
Has anyone tried the new 9h glass offered by Iloome? I bought the flex 8h when it came out, it has since been scratched and possibly has a nick that may have punctured the screen. Looking to replace It.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] todd.kennelly:
I, too, am buying the "Crown" for my Note 4.

I am glad it will work with my S-view flip case, as the crown and glass protector have such a low profile... ... And installation is so simple and accurate.

When it arrives, I will post a review.

...sent from a phabulous HAL 9002, a Sprint Galaxy Note 4.... ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
I've got one on order. Will post details when it arrives.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Batfink33:
Mine arrived today and installed. It's VERY thin and flexible In fact I'm not sure if it's genuine as I bought it from Ebay and it feels almost like plastic it's so flexible. I had to lift it up after install as I had dust under it, after lifting it I then wet installed it and it was fine. I've never been able to lift a glass screen protector after install but again it's so thin and flexible it worked. So far it seems good, no halo and the oleophobic coating works well. I'll have to give it a few weeks as if scratches appear on it then I'll know if it's a genuine Iloome or not.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Batfink33:
So I've been using the Iloome light for a day or so now and I'm not that impressed. The edges on mine seem quite sharp and they're attracting dust and fluff to stick underneath them, it looks very visible and horrible.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] h8Aramex:
Ordered a Bodyguardz Crown for my new Note 4.

I didn't know about the curved screen (doh!), so I just ordered a simple 0.2mm thick glass before I had the phone.

It's the thin version, so it does not cover the edges, but it's OK for daily use (of course it's got HALOs).

Anyway. Will post pics once it's here.

I really hope the Spigen Neo Hybrid Metal case will "work" with it.

Ps.: I also spent an hour checking out what others poosted (iloome, etc), but most are just uses the basic idea of being not that wide.

The protector I bought for 15$ is basically the same. Not as wide, still halo, but lot smaller than a wide protector.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mahdibassam:
Received my Crown for the Note 4 today and applied it.

On my Note 4, there is the slightest of halos on the bottom left edge, but thats down to my installation, i should have applied the glass 0.000005mm to the other side. If you careful with your application, you can definitely get a halo-free screen. I am very happy with my one. I will post a few pics later today.

Paid a hefty price tag for the crown, but if i ever break it , i get a replacement for only 17$ due to the advantage program, which is very nice.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mahdibassam:
Here are some photos of the Crown. Excuse the mediocre image quality , it was taken with an iPhone 4!

The case I use at this moment is a nillkin armor border bumper , in case anyone is wondering, while I wait for the Samsung LED flip case to arrive.

As you can see there is the slightest of halos on the left bottom side, and as I mentioned in my earlier post that's down to my installation. a halo free installation is possible with care.

Overall , I really like the crown ? and recommend it to anyone. Best protector for the controversially curved note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
That amount of halo looks more than just a minor fitting problem. I thought that the crown would act as a guide to prevent misalignment.

It looks to me as if the crown suffers the same halo issues as many of the other protectors.

I think we are back to square one.

As it stands, as far as glass protectors are concerned, it looks like the iCarez is halo free but is a dust magnet (and feels more like plastic, has a relatively poor oleophobic coating, and is difficult to get), and the other agreed "halo-free" option seems to be the iLoome Light but that hasn't had purely positive reviews. I've got one on order, so I'll try and post pictures and thoughts when that arrives.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] todd.kennelly:
Very nice.... Thanks for posting.

The crown looks and fits better than anything I've seen...

Should have mine soon... :)

P.S. would love to see a pic without the case...

The look of the Note 4 is so nice, I refuse to cover it up with a bumper case... :)

I use the S view flip cover ... ( considered the LED, but, I use the "cover camera" feature of the view full almost daily, and that isn't possible with the LED....

Hope my crown arrives tomorrow. :)

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mahdibassam:
Wow, you are judge, jury and executioner arent you?! No , we are not back to square one. Im not sure what you are seeing , But I own the product and am looking at it right now. It is the best protector so far for the note 4, and as i said, there is a slight halo of about 2-3CM on one edge of the phone BECAUSE I DIDNT APPLY IT 100% ALIGNED.

The crown is a halo free product if you install it correctly. mine is 99% halo free. Also, the aluminum crown makes the phone SEXY. So I highly recommend it to everyone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
I can't see how you can say it is halo free when we have seen two sets of pictures with halo. Unless you re-fit yours, then you can't say that it will be halo free because moving it to reduce halo on one side could cause halo on the other.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tsells:
I have the Crown screen protector and it is 100% halo free!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mahdibassam:
Did you read my post at all? I repeat for the 3rd time, my one has 2-3CM of halo on the bottom left , but that COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF I HAD APPLIED IT 0.5MM TO THE OTHER SIDE. I am not dumb, When I say it could have been avoided, it means it could have been avoided! I cant understand for the life of me why you are trying to tell me what i am seeing, when you dont have the product and you dont know how it fits, while I have it and am looking at it right in front of me! God sometimes people drive me nuts!

If you want to convince yourself that "you are back to square one" , then be my guest. Im not gonna argue about this anymore, i couldnt care less if you buy it or not. Im just trying to help the people in this thread.

I repeat for the 3rd and last time, the Bodyguardz Crown is the best glass protector for the note 4, and with a careful installation WILL BE HALO FREE. Highly recommended product.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
Man, calm down. Having seen a protector with a little bit of halo which I put down to being due to being slightly off-centre, and then having one correctly fitted with *more* halo, I'm just cautioning against assuming that fitting it correctly would fix the problem.

I think that a combination of alignment and manufacturing tollerances of both screen and protector conspire against halo-free certainty, but if it keeps you happy then let's keep the Crown on the list of possibilities until there are more people able to confirm either way.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mahdibassam:
Now that makes more sense, "a combination of alignment and manufacturing tollerances of both screen and protector conspire against halo-free certainty". i agree, we cant be 100% certain on a halo-free installation due to the different level of curve on each screen. but this is as close as it gets. So I suggest you pull the trigger as well, im sure you will be happy.

P.S. your first post made me mad because you were basically telling me what i was seeing was wrong and my eyes were not seeing what they were seeing, as if you had installed the protector and I was the one asking about it :D anyways if you do decide to buy it then good on ya, if not, you will still live ! :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Let's see some clear pictures of these "Halo Free" crowns. Everything I'm seeing indicates Halo. :p

Never mind, I just saw your pictures on the last page. Did you have worst Halos with other glass protectors?

My white Note 4 is pretty much Halo free with any tempered glass while my friends black version is halo city.

How well does the Express Align tray work?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] todd.kennelly:
Could you share some pictures of these halo free tempered glass protectors? (As well as the names of "any" of these tempered glass protectors that are "pretty much" halo free)

I have yet to see any tempered glass protectors that are halo free. The crown has been, (by far), the best I have seen. ...and the overall look of the pure + crown is very nice, indeed.
