I installed the Supershieldz glass screen protector on my sisters T-Mobile note 4 (white) and it fit perfectly with no halos. Took it off and tried it on 2 different att note 4s (black) and got halo all around. Now its back on the T-Mobile note 4 halo free.

Back to plastic supershieldz HD screen protector for me.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
That lends credence to different carriers using different screens.

I think I'm just going to put an iCarez film protector on for now and forget about it. Maybe in another few weeks or so this will get sorted out.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Slash8915:
I ended up going with the i-Carez PET film protector for now, since i can't stand the halo on glass protectors. It looks nice, and doesn't come up on the edges. However, it seems to be just a tad too narrow. Just an extra 1mm in width would make it fit PERFECTLY.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
Which makes absolutely no sense to me, leave to the US Carriers to biff this one.

I got mine today, and it came in excellent packaging, it was in a sealed cardboard pouch, which was placed inside of a padded mailer. It also came with a Alcohol Prep pad and a rigid card to help put it down. I got it from them on eBay, though that shouldn't make any difference I wouldn't think. I have a Bear Motion on now (revised one), and it fits good and looks okay, there is that small halo around the edges though, the Spartan looks like it might not have it as it's cut a tiny bit smaller around the edges, I may put it on tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] borijess:
You call that excellent packaging? Spigen has some excellent packaging. Xtreme just put theirs in a cd cardboard case.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] californiarailroader:
Yeah, it is to me, it protected it just fine, Amazon sends things like that in a similar manner. I don't expect them to send it in a box, it's too small, and it would be too cost prohibitive.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] randpost:
I agree, it isn't pretty packaging, but it does do the job. I like the price and therefore appreciate the savings in shipping materials.

Lemonglass,Techpro,Spigen just to name a few cost around the same and packaging is a lot better. Just my opinion no biggie.

Hi guys ... Will tempered glass stick to my screen if the screen it's a little curved like in this picture ... Anybody else has this problem?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] umx:
what exactly is this "halo"
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jlczl:
This is a T-Mobile Note 4. Root AND no halo ftw!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sdlopez83:
I just asked this, it's a few pages back.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] eksoccer99:
Can't go by this because of depth of field. Green line is off on the left side over the bezel. Not even close. To this method is a no go. Frustrating we all know. I'm on board the screens aren't manufactured consistently.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] crissbm:
It's not that hard curved . I just pointed so you know on which direction is the curve...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] umx:
could of just gave me the answer u got =/
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] evoxsin:
Halo is a 1mm to 4mm area of the devices screen that wont allow glass protectors to adhear to the devices screen due to the manufacturers 2.D bezel.

It basically looks like the glass cover is lifted and can be lifted. This has been given the name "halo" by the interwebz society.

It appears as some devices have more halo when the same glass company is installed.

This is believed that some debri dirt etc can get in there over time (confirmed by me with 2 weeks of use in my pocket )

This area that does not adhear can be pushed down with force and apears to seal when pressure is removed the glass lifts up.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] umx:
sounds lameeeee
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Makeitso_253:
It does effect S-View

I have the Bear Motion tempered glass protector.

I can confirm that it does cause the S-view to not close completely by about 1/8 inch. Not a big deal for me as I am sick of this S-View. I have come to hate the flap. I can't wait to find a good case to replace it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] JasonJoel:
And you could have searched and not posted at all... See how it is a two way street? :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] umx:
Too many pages too read
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
Reason there are so many pages is everyone that's posted attempt(s) to find a glass protector that fits without a halo. And with few exceptions not applicable to all phones it doesn't currently exist.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] borijess:
So which ones don't have halo on att version?

Sent from the TermiNOTEr 4! ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ceelo2008:
I have the att note 4. Here is what I have tried so far.

1 Bear Motion- didn't fit so good horrible halo

2 Bear Motion revised- fit great still bad halo

3 Zagg glass-fit flawless halo on edges

4 Zagg revised. I know it was revised as it was sent from zag. Fit perfect a little less halo but still there.

5 supershieldz horrible halo

6 Spartan glass- this is what's on my phone now. It's deff shorter then the others and has very slight halo on the edges. Not very noticible at all. I will be keeping this on for a while. These are pics of the Spartan. Note this has only been installed for 10 minutes so it might get better who knows!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] evoxsin:
Well based on your atemps mines similar and im on sprint

My spartan is just sitting in its carton case. Will try later if i feel like it.

I also have the hd shield wich supposedly also has some resistant features
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] k.babymamma:
I am wondering if AT&T models have more curvature than other models? My Zero Lemon halo is huge. I've read where others' are tolerable or not so bad. It was a good install and the Hal is consistent all the way around. The above poster has had a lot if halo action on att phone as well. Thoughts?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
From the pictures others have posted of Zerolemon installs every picture has had by far the largest halo I've seen.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] AndyCr15:
I have the Ultimate Shield Tempered Glass for my Note 4 SM-N910F (International). With it being my first tempered glass protector, I didn't know about this whole halo effect, so I've been rather critical about it's terrible fit.

[youtube]jU0-S-JsMtg[/youtube]

I'm assuming my fit is probably as good as it's going to get then? There isn't any halo at least...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Log[]:
So i tested on a friends note 4 my nillkin protector which has a halo on MY phone. But on his phone it sits perfectly. So i returned my phone and ordered a new one from amazon.de.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] evoxsin:
Ive thought about it. But with sprint....is it jus

"Hey id like to exchange my phone"

And the process would make me regret it.

And might end up qith halo again.

this is their response to me via email. so hopefully they know what's going on, and this SP maker seems to have good reputation on their other products.

Dear Customer,

We would like to inform you that your order is scheduled to ship on 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. Please let us know if you want to wait or cancel this order? We apologize for any inconvenience.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] MMakoto:
4 of them? i think one is good enough, just be a little more careful when installing. these should be anti-scratch, maybe not, but shouldn't scratch that easily as regular SP. btw, here's another update from them:

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] agent4678:
Whichever you choose, do not buy this one from PowerAdd:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NBGDZ0W

The holes for the home button and speaker are too close to each other so the screen protector does not fit. If you line it up on the home button, the screen protector covers the top speaker. You get what you pay for I guess.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Kawaisa:
like I said before, a lot of these tempered protectors haven't taken into account that the Note 4 has curved sides so their measurements are off. I don't have a phone to confirm but the ones I got from Spigen seem to be smaller than the screen on purpose so that they fit properly with the 2.5D cut class.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] scoobrel:
The bear motion tempered glass is a little bigger than the screen and the edges don't sit flush. I'm wondering if the curve of the phone's display starts about 1mm within the screen instead of outside the screen, since thats where the screen protector sits flush. The lines drawn on the pic shows how far in the protector sticks to the screen. I'll try to get a pic of the phone with the protector on when i get home.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] bythe:
I don't know what that is, all I know is they make two types. Tempered glass and flex glass. I want the flexible glass because it's much thinner, unless someone can confirm that the tempered glass doesnt interfere with fingerprint scanning and putting on a case.

Tempered glass shouldn't affect it, although I have a Note 3 so that might be different

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] evoxsin:
Im getting kind of frustrated with the settling for a product.

"Hey it was only 6 bucks"

"My bear motion was only 7 bucks so its ok"

Im tired of that. Your device was 400 to 700 dollars for varied screens? With amoled screens that differ and some even have bright/dark spots

Why settle?

I'm good with the Supershieldz for now too. Sure it doesn't have complete coverage, but it doesn't have huge halos either. At least the cut, clarity and smoothness are there. I'll change it when and IF there is one that has full coverage.

If you want to change it, it should lift off easily. Removing and reapplying after install is questionable on outcome and not recommended unless necessary.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Rinthe:
Oh it just lifts off? I thought there's adhesive under it. What do you mean by removing and reapplying after install?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Josborne6:
There is adhesive but it's not extremely tacky. Sometimes people try to remove and reinstall to correct a misalignment. I've done it successfully and unsuccessfully. You run the risk of picking up debris when removing it. It also won't adhere properly if it has been installed for a while typically.

I see. I just put mine on. really bad halo all around the edge...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] pgibbons:
I took the Bear Motion off and it doesn't seem to have a very noticeable curve into the area where the screen protector is not sticking, but there must be something curved about it because all of the glass protectors I've tried do not stick starting a the same places.

Well.

Looking at my spartan glass edges looks like would end where the halo begings on my bear motions.

Zagg Tempered Glass

So I was one of the lucky few to get in a Spigen Glas.TR Tempered Glass ordered before they pulled it from Amazon and their native site.

Installed it on my White T-Mobile Note 4, ended up having the slimmist halo on the left and right hand sides of the screen. Could barely tell. I ended up having to return the White Note 4 because the paint on the plastic band where my headphone jack was (in between the two metal bands) started chipping when I plugged in my headphones. I could see the plastic underneath and I sent that back to T-mobile right away.

Fast forward two weeks later, I purchased a T-mobile Black Note 4 and tried the ZAGG shield. Looks like it's got halo (not as bad as the initial version of this prior to revision), but still enough to bother me.

T_T

Will be returning it to get my $40 back.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] aboulay:
My experience so far

So far as i can tell there are no 100% perfect screen tempered glass screen protectors out there. i Myself have a spigen slim tr installed on a black Note 4 with a titanium Verus iron shield and you can barely see any halo. Honestly the little halo i do see is less thick then business card and barely thicker then a sheet of standard paper. I do not have my hopes up at all that we will see a tempered glass protector that is 100% perfect because it would also require users to install it 100% flawless. Its glass guys, there's no real give, unless they use an adhesive that will fill in the gaps, but that may inhibit the spen functionality which then negates the purchase of the Note all together. I would recommend to anyone doing their own install, to use the bathroom steam prep method, along with the hinge method. These two together prove to be the most effective in avoiding any issues. That being said, i am unable to really tell if what i am seeing is truly a halo effect, or the curvature on the glass refracting the light. its been on for over 2 weeks and has dealt with my day to day wear and tear which includes going to the office, gym, bars, outdoors for a hike, all without any shifting or scratches. Either way i am thrilled with the application of my screen protector and wish you all the best in yours.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
If you're using the original Spigen .tr that was pulled from Amazon that was one of the best if not the best glass protectors for little to no halo. I've seen pictures posted of it on the Android Central forums with no halo. So since Spigen did such an outstanding job with the first one they pulled from the market my guess is the revised one will be excellent as well.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] demize!:
Ok I received and installed the ILoome Flexi-glass protector and so far I'm happy with it. No halo effect, virtually invisible, smooth. The only downside is the edges don't seem curved and there is about 2 millimeters of gap, but I can live with it. I'll try to send pics later with another phone. Btw I did not use a Level VI Biohazard suit to install it and I did not get any particles under it, their hinge system is a decent solution to a frustrating problem.

Well, i got my replacements from xtreamguard and its bad plus i found out that the ones they are shipping from their ebay store are very different then the ones shipped from their website.
