I agree. Also, the Crown seems like its stuck in its conceptual stage now, no review or update since early February, what gives. Are there production issues, or just a teaser for something better to come? Who knows, lol.

Just got my Bodyguardz Crown for my iPhone 6+. Installation is pretty much idiot proof. Absolutely the easiest install ever and the fit is excellent. Have to wait and see how it wears, but with a lifetime warranty, I don't have concerns.

I would imagine that the Note 4 version will be equally as good.

It fits fine with my Ringke Slim or Apple Leather cases. It really finishes off the front much nicer than any of the small tempered glass screen protectors that are cut short of the rounded edges.

Here's what they said: :eek::eek:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us. We are still developing the Note 4 Crown and should be available at the end of April. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

If they are taking this long on a protector, it better be perfect as a product. I'm getting tired of this "hype" that they created for the devices, specifically the Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Adam1422:
Which ZAGG protector?

Glass or HDX? Just wondering which is better? or is it a preference thing? From what I can tell on the website Glass would be a step up from the HDX case? Do you prefer one over the other? Why? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks as always fellas!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Averant:
Glass, last time I checked, still has halo. In terms of protection from scratches, smoothness and hardness, Yes, it is better than HDX.

The HDX still looks nice and clear since its not a wet install. It does not suffer from halo because its flexible and not made of glass (obviously).

So it's like this:

Glass: Ultimate clarity and smoothness compared to the HDX. Because its rigid, its strong and will resist many things but suffers from the halo problem like many other glass protectors. Will resist heavy knocks but will break on large trauma hits.

HDX: Not AS clear as glass but still quite. Because it's flexible, it will not suffer from any halo.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] xdm9mm:
Samsung has a bad habbit of making us angry, but we still buy their products.... I hope they come up with a sealed, no sd card support and not changeable battery on the Note 5, so I will have a very good reason to jump ship!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
I'm quite surprised Samsung elected to use a sealed battery & no external SD on the S6. I guess they figured if Apple can post the sales #'s they are building the iPhone that way it wouldn't stop people from buying the S6. Time will tell if it was the right move on Samsung's part. Personally I think it gives potential buyers (especially longtime S series owners) a reason not to buy the S6 & I don't think it gives a typical iPhone buyer any reason to switch. But maybe most potential S6 buyers don't care one way or the other.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
I'll continue this off-topic convo with my point of view. Many people complained about the build quality. It was the most complained about aspect of Samsung phones. They had to do something. I can see making the battery sealed but they could still keep the SD slot. You can't make everyone happy. Personally 32gb is enough for me, the battery life is good and I put a case on all my phones. so I don't care about any of it myself. I just upgraded to the note 4 from the s5 for screen size.

my wife has been using this for about 2mo, really good quality, easy to install. it actually protected the phone from one incident. very happy with it. recommended to anyone.

PS- i see the 0.15MM glass its not available anymore on amazon, but you can get the 0.28MM Glass from here: http://j.mp/1IsWYvO
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
I noticed in the description for the 0.28mm it states "for white Note 4 only".

I can't comment on the 0.28mm one but I had the 0.15mm version and it did install w/o a halo but it was an absolute fingerprint/dust magnet to the point I removed it and installed a Zagg hdx. I had to clean the iCarez multiple times daily the Zagg I clean every 2-3 days & it's never even close to as dirty as the iCarez was. Others have posted they've not had dust/fingerprint issues w/ the iCarez 0.15mm so maybe I just had a defective one. I will say because the iCarez was glass it glides better with either your finger or the S Pen than the Zagg hdx (because it's not glass) but it's not a huge difference and I'm satisfied w/ the hdx so I'm sticking with it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Chuckd610:
I had the 0.15mm, but one of the corners broke as I attempted to lift it off my screen for realignment. Maybe iCarez decided 0.15mm was too thin. Hopefully the new 0.28mm version will offer the same "no-edge-lift" protection.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] kwazytazz:
the iCarez 0.15mm is good but when it gets hot or humid, the edges will start lifting. I had it in my pockets during my gym session and when i took it out, almost all the edges lifted. Although afterwards when it cooled down it went back to normal.

I've been out of the loop. ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Cubfan99:
Ahh, screw it. I've taken my screen protector off and loving the bare screen. It gets these micro-scratches on the coating that can only be seen under the brightest lights, which bothered me at first. Now, after going through screen protector after screen protector, I no longer care.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Don't give up yet the "Crown" will be out any year now. :p

I don't see how an aluminum edge is going to help the halo problem though. :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
I'm guessing it will simply cover it up, that's all.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
I don't think so.

The crown only butts up to the glass which already has the halo under the outside edges. :p
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
If it doesn't overlap the glass to hide the halo, then presumably the glass is cut small enough to avoid halo, and the crown covers the bevel for protection.

I'm beginning to tire of my iCarez. It's still doing pretty well with regard to resisting scratches, but it doesn't repel fingerprints very well any more, and is definitely statically charged after being cleaned, which attracts dust. My plan is to replace with one of a pair of cheap Mocolo I've ordered from China - if it has halo, or disappoints on the oleophobic front, then I'll give the iLoome Light a try.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
My brother just got a black Note 4 and it's Halo city. The halo from the Zagg glass even goes beyond the display area.

What are people using in this situation?

I don't believe that anything will work on his black version.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
You just need something that is cut quite small. The iCarez 0.15mm works fine, and the iLoome Light is reported to be halo free too.

A friend of mine got one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00OL5VDME/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_h1Ukvb0MYYW13 and it is halo free, but lacks any decent oleophobic properties.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Chuckd610:
I think BodyGuardz is well aware of all the issues and complaints associated with Note 4 glass screen protectors. That's probably why they are taking so long to release the product. Just one halo complaint could be disasterous (as far as sales). Once the word gets out about the dreaded "halo effect", it's game over.

Mocolo has Halo

Despite my earlier whitterings, the Mocolo I've just fitted to replace my iCarez does suffer from halo (moreso than the slightly rushed installation on my friends N4 that only had a fraction of halo). It's not as bad as the Zagg, but sufficient for me to be unsatisfied, so I've ordered the the iLoome Screenmate Light, and will report back once I've fitted that,
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ThePublisher:
I justed talked with Bodyguardz customer service. The SCREENGUARDZ PURE® WITH THE CROWN™ PREMIUM GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR is .4mm thick. I was asking them about the thickness of the crown to see if it will work with my OEM Samsung Case. She could not tell me the thickness of the crown itself, but said it was "seamless" with the glass, which is .4mm. .4 is pretty thick for a screen protector, most are .33 and some are thinner.

Anyone ordered one of these yet?

As a bonus I asked her if there was a discount to help with the $45 price tag. Code "Hammer" gets 10% off.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Chuckd610:
Using the Crown with the Note 4 will greatly reduce case options. I would suggest to start looking for case alternatives that would accommodate the "crown" portion. If we knew the height and width of the crown frame itself, it would be much easier to determine which cases it would fit.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
Wow. 0.4mm is very thick!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Chuckd610:
So is she saying the crown goes from the edge of the phone to where the "viewable" screen begins?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ThePublisher:
.4mm and $40.50 (with discount code), is really thick and expensive for a piece of glass and aluminum 'crown'. The only way I can see that working is to go without a case.

I'm probably going to order one of the non 'edge to edge' protectors off of Amazon and see how much I hate it... ha.

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------

I didn't ask that specifically, but that is the impression I get looking at the photos. The crown has some width to it, and has to connect somehow to not just fall off, so it probably extends from beyond the side of the phone, over to the edge of the view able screen.

The more I think about it the more I think its a gimmick. Hopefully someone can put a review on here and prove me wrong there.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
I got the JOTO glass protector from Amazon. It doesn't go edge to edge, just the edge of the actual display and it still has a halo. I would be fine with it being a tad short around the edges if it fully stuck.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ThePublisher:
I saw that the JOTO was highly rated, but I am trying to avoid one with a Halo. Seems like that's hit or miss though depending on the certain protector and curvature of your certain Note 4.

I think I'll try this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RYQO2OI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A28X74YMEENULT since its only $6. The answer for the Note 4 may just be a nice 'normal' screen protector instead of glass.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Chuckd610:
You're probably right......I have one of those "wet application" protectors, and until something is created that will accomodate most cases, my screen protector is NOT coming off. It's not tempered glass, but it's darn near perfect.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ThePublisher:
What brand did you get? Why wet application vs. dry? I've always had dry in the past (until glass on my S4) and they seemed good. Is wet better?

I can't fathom how they got the glass to go out as far as they did and it not halo unless the glass has some curvature. Some us have ridiculously sloped screens and we can't have glass that extends past the camera like yours. :\

The Galaxy S6 for Verizon is absolute garbage. I'm on the second one and it's going back right away.

I would like a black Note 4 but I'm scared of those nasty halos. Wife took my white Note 4 and runs the hell out of it with no problems at all. The Galaxy S6 just plain Blows.

How is life with the Black Note 4? Any scratched sides, chrome edges, paint peeling around the charge port and speaker holes? Have you had any of these on your black 4?

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mitchellvii:
Well if there is no adhesive in the middle or sides that would explain the lack of halo as there is no "unstuck" portion as it is all "unstuck".

My only reason for preferring glass over something like the HDX (which works well but gets smeary and is hard to clean) is the exceptional oleophobic properties of glass. I put a Zagg Glass on my sister's S5 and a simple wipe on the pant leg completely removed a day worth of greasy funk.

Still $45 for this? That's pretty ridiculous.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Cubfan99:
Oh my gosh this is great! Just picked one up at AT&T today using my gift card I got from turning in my son's old iPhone. Easiest install ever for a screen protector... I even used the suction cup after the first install to get it more perfectly aligned.

This is the screen protector for those of us who HATE how they usually cater to people who use cases. I do not, and this goes to the edge on all sides. Even highlights the capacitive buttons a bit which I like because I set them to never light up.

Before this one, I had the Zagg HDX which had a bit of drag and a very annoying sharp edge. It also cut the clarity a bit, which was a shame because of this super-high resolution screen. Killed the advantage with that.

This has clarity and because it doesn't have adhesive everywhere, not the same danger of a microscopic piece of dust ruining your day. Just like the bare screen... maybe even a better feel if that is possible, and certainly hides finger prints better. Only down-side is that it makes objects on the screen not as close to the surface because of the additional thickness. Oh, and the home button is recessed a bit, which has the advantage of making it more difficult to accidentally press in your pocket. Seems like it might be a little more glossy with more reflections than the bare screen. My thinking is that there's none of that Teflon anti-glare coating that I believe the bare screen has, which is also very easy to scratch end end up with those hairline marks that show under bright light.

I will buy one of these for every phone from now on. No doubt. I'm extremely picky, and it's that good. If you use a case, YMMV... but go cry somewhere else. ;)

Sigh. This is $48 at ATT. On principle that is just an insane price for a little piece of glass. On the other hand, spread over the life of the phone, it is nothing if it will improve my daily enjoyment of the N4. I am extremely OCD about greasy screens and this HDX just won't come clean without an alcohol bath.

Ok, I'll get one. On principle I protest the price but practically speaking, it's just worth it. :)
