I know! Even in person, I have to look at it at the right angle to see the edges! It is definitely the best I've seen yet on any phone! Thanks for the compliment!

You have been the staunchest supporter of iCarez from the beginning and I am now a believer in this version for sure! I would go a bit further and say it's not just for someone who doesn't want to deal with the "halo" effect (can you blame anyone for not wanting to?) it's an incredible product in every way! I haven't tried any scratch or impact tests, nor do I plan to. I don't need to borrow trouble as my grandmother used to say. I'm just extremely pleased with how amazing this screen protector looks and went on. Also, it is the best packaging to date! Before this Glass Pro version of iCarez, I'd have said the best packaging went to MIME.

Also, I have to say I really like the screen removal & dust removal stickers that came with this kit! I already used it as the first attempt to lay this thing down was a bit off to one side and believe me, you don't want it to be off center by so much as .25 mm! It did show a halo on that side as it was breeching the "roll" of the screen. I also noted that when I laid it down the first time there was a few micro hairs that found their way under the protector. Don't know how, but I wasn't about to let that go either! That's when I decided to chance it (believe me, I've wished I hadn't done that many times before) and get the hairs off of it. I used the stickers (with the aid of my mini swiss army knife to get the edge of the screen to lift) and once off I held the protector up to the light to make sure I got rid of all the lint! Then carefully holding it by the slim #4 stickers I aligned it correctly and this is what you see. Yep, you read right... that is a "re-applied" glass screen protector! Not one blemish! I'm impressed with the product and myself, if I may say so myself! :cool:

Has anyone tried this?

http://shop.brando.com/Momax-Full-S...or-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4_p12490c1786d008.html

For me, this is much nicer to look at compared to moshi. I dont liked moshi's version of holes at the app switcher and back button.

I know a local seller here said that the actual glass also has adhesive not like the moshi which only has the sides.

Can you provide some better pics from the edges ?

Wait what, how could they mess up the capacitive buttons like that? The back button is mirrored and there is a menu button where the recents should be. How can it be a quality product if they can't even something as simple as the button cutouts right?

No warranty applicable either. Might as well wait it out until something better comes along, if any.

SO FAR THE ICAREZ IS THE BEST, I HAVEN'T EVEN ORDERED ONE YET, BUT IT'S STILL THE BESTEST (FYI: BESTEST IS NOT A WORD :silly: )

Does the iCarez bend like plastic? :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ReggieSmith:
So I bought the iVisor today from at&t.. Half off because I'm an employee... Fits great and you can't see any halo as on other screen protectors.. But I wonder if that is because the bezel is shaded all the way around?? Anyway.. I like the look and fit so I'm OK with it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
I believe it has to do with the fact that the screen area is free of adhesive.

I believe it does to a very minute degree. I remember the iLoome was flexible and had glass properties. I wonder whats up with BodyGuardz, lol

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Cubfan99:
OK, now trying to replace my Moshi and can't get it to stay where my case doesn't pop it up. And it's really hard to get it on without getting a speck of dust under. Yes, I've fallen out of love.

So I got the iCarez, both plastic and "glass." Sorry, I'm not convinced this is glass, but just a thicker plastic screen protector than the ones they sell for $4 for three of them. The 3 for $4 ones are good enough for me in now that I'm using the case. Not enough of a sucker to pay $20 for a plastic screen protector... I can get 15 for the price of one of the "glass" ones.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Only took me 2 days to lose my love for the Moshi :p
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
I'm going to get in contact with BodyGuardz soon, perhaps we can get a group purchase going on soon, exclusively to XDA Members? :)

Thank goodness you shared your experience. Now that Moshi is out of the equation, we are down to either the iCarez or BodyGuardz. :good:

Took me within the first several seconds after unpacking the first one received, lol.

I got a crown once from Burger King :silly: Didn't last long as it was only paper. :(

I'm still living with the Alpha glass over here. ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Cubfan99:
Don't get me wrong. The Moshi is a great product if you go case-less or have a case like one of the super-slim versions that don't intrude upon the screen at all. Otherwise, they'll pop the glass right off. And I'm kind of worried about how the hot summer months will affect the moshi with little actually sticking to the screen. Finally, it's difficult to get a dust-free install, and removing it just makes it harder... since more dust will creep in.

First one I had managed a nearly perfect install and I went case-less, and was thrilled. Dropping the phone on the face from more than 4 feet, it even saved my main screen. The first one stuck solidly, and the case I liked didn't affect it. The replacement Moshi did not stay stuck down as well for some reason.

This allows me to be the first nay-sayer on the iCarez. :)

After having used both the iCarez... the $20 "glass" and the much cheaper plastic ones, I can see no advantage to the "glass" except maybe that it's thicker and you prefer to spend way more money for a placebo. They both have the same screen coverage and feel exactly the same. And there's no way the more expensive one is glass. It's thicker for sure.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Seems like most of us are on a consensus now that the iCarez is on the top of the list for now.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Cubfan99:
AT&T gave me a new one, but won't work with my case. So I have a brand new Moshi iVisor Glass with no use for it. Maybe I'll sell it on Ebay or something.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Can't you return it for a refund?

If not, how about demonstrating us how shatterproof this screen protector is :silly:

Just Kidding, Might as well sell it on eBay if you can't get your original payment back :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Cubfan99:
Apparently, I've owned it for too long. Didn't feel like I had it long, but time flies. Maybe Moshi will give me a refund? Worth a try.

iCarez

I've just installed my iCarez 0.15mm "TrueGlass PRO" (thanks to [MENTION=5312977]Dvanzutphenkann[/MENTION] and his wife Jennifer for picking them up and posting to the UK!).

Here are my initial thoughts:

1. There is plenty of flex in this protector. It's much more flexible than a previous Glas.T nano from Spigen that I had for an S4. Whether than means it's not "glass", I don't know.

2. Fitting went well, and I have a no halo, zero dust installation. (Man, it looks so much nicer without a halo!)

3. As far as the oleophobic coating is concerned, so far it seems good. When it was installed, it felt a little "squeaky" under the finger, rather than the frictionless feeling of my Zagg glass, but after adding some iKlear, and buffing off with the microfiber cloth it feels great (it might have just been the buffing that did the job), and is repelling fingerprints, no problem. In fact, I just took a phone call, and there's no "face goop" to be seen. Time will tell if that alters over time (my Zagg was just starting to get a little less fingerprint resistant, and it had been installed for 3 or 4 weeks).

4. Using the s-pen with the grey tip feels frictionless. It definitely feels like writing on glass, and there's no indication of leaving any marks, even if I press pretty hard (as has been reported on non-glass protectors, like the Zagg HDX).

In short, so far, I'm very happy with it. I've got a spare one, which hopefully I won't need to use, but I'll report back if anything changes.

Cheers,

Steve
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Cubfan99:
Having used both, I can say that the cheap plastic iCarez and the "glass" feel and perform exactly the same from my experience. Both require some buffing after install to get rid of that rubbery feeling, and both feel like glass and repel fingerprints quite well, though neither does as well as the bare Note screen. They do seem to attract dust more, but that may be from buffing the screen and giving it some static charge.

And I'm still convinced that the "glass" is not truly glass, but just a thicker version of the plastic ones. On Amazon, they're careful to describe it as "new glass" and not "tempered glass." Maybe plastic is the new glass? ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] twe90kid:
certainly doesn't feel like glass to me... i installed mine last night and i feel like it's plastic (thick plastic).

anyone have issues with it not adhering correctly on the edges?

I have some problem on the right top edge and the bottom left edge.

my other icarez does not have this problem... weird
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Venom0642:
Ok i just ordered another iCarez glass 0.15mm once it comes in i will convince everyone here that it is glass i will pull off the one i got on then i will break it and post pictures that way no one thinks it isn't glass.

My iCarez attracts dust like crazy. So bad that I'm actually thinking about removing it. I'm not too crazy about the plastic feel either. I guess that's the price you pay to get rid of the halo.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
It looks to me as though yours is fitted quite a bit lower than mine. I have literally no gap at the top between the protector and the silver earpiece grill. This leaves a bit more of a gap above the home button and means the bottom of the protector is away from the beveled edges of the glass.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Cubfan99:
If this keeps up, iCarez could be the second brand that is kicked out of the threat title. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jsk23:
So the upper grill should be the focal point of the install, and line the rest it up from there?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
I didn't do that purposefully, but it might be the way to go because the gap around the home button looks uniform at the top and round the sides.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jsk23:
I left a micro tiny gap on first laying it down, and it gave me a ever so slight halo at first at the very bottom of the protector near the home button. I used the stickers, relaid it and made absolutely flush with the bottom of the grill and it fit perfect.

iCarez fit w/ Seidio Surface case

I just installed my iCarez glass and got absolutely zero halo on my black AT&T N4. I would rate the quality of my installation as 9 out of 10. It's ever so slightly off center side to side and has just a very minute amount of dust after using the supplied stickers to remove it from the adhesive side of the screen probably 8-10 times. (I did install it in the bathroom with the shower running on hot, made me wonder if the humidity was enough to tint the white water damage indicator a little pink.) The top is pretty much flush with the grill so there's a little space above the home button.

I'm using a Seidio Surface case and while the fit is not perfect for me it's acceptable. The Surface case lip edges come down on the screen just about exactly where the iCarez glass ends so if I squeeze the case hard enough I can cause the iCarez to bubble on the sides. I think if the iCarez was a little bit wider or narrower that wouldn't happen. The iCarez tempered glass fits much better than the iCarez film I was using and the difference in clarity is astounding.

For anyone using one of the Seidio cases that are compatible with Seidio's Vitreo 8h tempered glass protector I called Seidio's tech support and they said their glass is cut short of their case lips and does not halo. Reason I ordered the iCarez is 1) I couldn't find independent confirmation that the Seidio Vitreo 8h flexglass doesn't halo 2) I'd rather have the iCarez without the side gaps of the Seido Vitreo 3) the iCarez is half the price of the Vitreo although Seidio does have a 20% off Valentine's Day sale through today & 4) all my fellow forum members that posted about the iCarez installing w/o a halo.

I highly recommend the iCarez and am completely satisfied with it. At long last the arduous search for a 9h glass protector that installs w/o a halo is over thanks to the xda forums!!!

Another contender?

I am happily using the iCarez on my Note 4, but on a hunch, I got a cheap Mocolo 0.21mm protector from China via AliExpress.

I've installed it (badly) on my friends N4, and it's pretty much Halo free - I think it would be completely halo free if it was installed a little lower and straight!

It cost me £1.91 delivered, which is about 3 bucks.

I've attached pictures.

i just applied the icarez .15mm glass. it is AMAZING. halo free, easy installation. i had a dust in the middle of the screen, but i was able to easily lift up the screen and used tape to stick the dust away. it's a mixture of glass and plastic (flexible), but definitely feels like glass. =)

I did a quick search in this thread and the other tempered glass one but nobody seems to have posted these before (or maybe I'm stupid), they seem to have good reviews, only one 2 star review where somebody complained about it having the halo issue, but all the other reviews are very positive.

Anyone care to try one, they are only being sold on Amazon.com but unfortunately do not ship to my location (Netherlands).
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
These full-face style covers are becoming more popular and appear to be the only way to get full edge to edge coverage due to the bevelled edges of the N4 display. However, there's always a risk on how well they will adhere, and whether they interfere with cases (plus, in my opinion, they look a bit pants). I'd rather stick to a non-halo traditional protector with good oleophobic properties, and leave my screen edges bare.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Camron708:
I didn't want to pay $70 for the Moshi (what it costs to get it shipped to Canada) so I just went with the iCarez screen protector. It was a bit of hassle to line it up exactly (it is a bit more on one side than the other but not really noticeable) but mostly halo free and super thin. I didn't like how the Moshi kind of changed the look of the phone and with the iCarez you don't even notice it on the phone.

I'll take some pics later on. I am kind of concerned about the small halo I do see (seems like it is lifting) but we will see how well it holds in a few weeks.

Unfortunately we found issues with the color consistency of the packaging in the production Crown product we received. Quality is a cornerstone to who we are as a company, and if quality is not 100%, we will never release a product to market. Work is already underway to correct the issue and we are targeting early March to launch ScreenGuardz Pure + The Crown. We appreciate your patience and understand any frustration. We will have a special upgrade opportunity available for anyone who purchased ScreenGuardz Pure for the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus. While this delay is unfortunate we encourage anyone who purchased Pure for the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus to register their product now, so they can take advantage of the upgrade as soon as The Crown is available.﻿

Delayed because of a problem with the color in the packaging? WTF?
