Can you post close-up pictures of what you're experiencing. I can't seem to appreciate this in person, since many praise how this protector is indeed "case-friendly"
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
I'm not sure how those specks got in there. I've tried 3 different cases and all of them have rendered the touch screen pretty useless. It raises up the middle of the glass and you have the push real hard to get anything to work. I got too excited, too quick. :crying:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Are you sure you didn't get a defective screen protector or Otterbox Commuter case?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
I have 3 commuter cases and all do the same. The iVisor glass is definitely not "case-friendly"

Tried 3 different commuter cases, Tech 21 and 2 UAG cases, all with the same results.

We will have to wait and see what others report. I have the exact same problems as Munkypoo7 had.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Please quote what Munkypoo7 mentioned, somehow can't locate the post, thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
^^This but I don't think my Note 4 is one with a severe curved screen.

My sides seem to be stuck down and everything works fine until I put a case on it. :(

arjun90, my fingers are crossed that you will have better luck then I did.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ckspeed1968:
My note 4 is VZW. The ivisor works very well with the protective cover+. I have not try the sensitivity with the commuter. May not even be using the commuter since I have all 3 colors of the protective cover+.

Have you try it with the cover+?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mitchellvii:
Dude just get the Spigen case I recommended. Protection is excellent and lip does NOT touch the screen protector so zero lift.

Its not that the protector is not "case friendly", you're just using the wrong case. Its like putting the wrong sized tires on a car then wondering why it rides funny.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
I do not have the Samsung cover. Maybe I'll order one and a couple of Spigen cases. I won't give up on this protector just yet.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
I just wish the Samsung Cover had Port Covers. [MENTION=5860476]felloffthetruck[/MENTION], do you know of any cases that have Port Covers like the Commuter Series case?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] gpo1956:
Have you tried removing the screen prtector, putting the case back on and then re-installing the protector. If it doesn't go on without touching the case then you will know the opening of the case is too small. If not, then it might make it easier to locate the protector to just the right position on the screen. Just a thought. After thinking about this problem, it really makes sense that this could happen. With the only adhesive being at the top and bottom, its easy to see that any pressure exerted on it would cause a flex in the protector, affecting screen sensitivity. It's a shame. This seemed to really be the answer for an effective glass screen protector..
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Ready2Mosh:
I'm using the T-Mobile puretech roll on glass protector it's super thin 9+ hardness, no rainbow issue. The only thing is it's not edge to edge protection, but with a case you can't even tell it's on. It's the thinnest glass screen protector I've ever used so it adds no weight to the phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Mine doesn't seem to have been shipped out yet, which is quite frustrating already. I am eagerly waiting for my Defender Series case in the mean time.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Cubfan99:
Like I said... if you're whining that your case doesn't fit with this glass protector, there are plenty of alternatives for you. Get one of those and quit whining. For those of use who choose not to use a case on any phone ever, this is the perfect solution.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] SteveAuhc:
In reality, will there be a lot of fingerprints on the screen?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
The commuters work fine until you install the hard back plastic shell. The hard shell pushes in from both sides at the perfect angle and causes the screen to lift in the display area. The Commuter is a NO-GO with this protector.

I will put in some more time in the morning with the other cases I have and see what happens.

---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

Yes, works perfect with no case. Just tried the White UAG case and it seems to be working fine with this protector. Rubber going over the edges of the glass was not the problem. It was the outer hard shell of the commuter pushing in from each side that caused the screen to rise. If I find the right case, it might be alright. I love the commuter case so this is bad news for me.

I'll have more time in the morning to play around with it again.

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

Yes, that Trident that I put up a YouTube link. Might order one up. Still have not given up yet on this protector.

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

Which Samsung Protective cover looks better in person, blue or grey ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mitchellvii:
Slightly off topic here but I will never understand you guys that put these massive Defender style cases on these already big phones. Complete overkill unless you're planning on dropping the thing off a 2 story building.

Regarding the question on fingerprints. Sure any screen protector will show prints. The good part about this one is they wipe off so easily.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Does the Tridant Case Scratch the Metal Edges of the Note 4?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] gpo1956:
OK folks, you heard him. He doesn't approve of the use of these massive Defender style cases, so going forward, there will be no more of these cases used for the Note 4. Period. End of debate. That is all.:D
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ckspeed1968:
To me the Grey looks better on the Grey/black phone. The color is on the back side. You won see it looking at the screen.

Oh yeah, about the port plugs. I use the micro usb and headphone plugs that I bought from amazon. It comes in 1 package of 5 each.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
I don't know as I don't have the Trident case. I can tell you that if you breath funny on those edges, they will scratch. I baby my phone and keep it 100% protected and have a few scratches on those edges already. Another thing is that the paint on the Note 4's chip real easy. I have a chip by one of my microphone holes and one by the charge port. Hope Samsung improves this crap for the Note 5.

The Moshi protector works just fine with the UAG case. I hate putting my phone into the UAG's as they are impossible to get on and off the phone. This is one case that will definitely scratch the edges of your phone.

I have it in the white UAG now and will leave it in there for a while as I cringe trying to pry the phone out of this damn case. :crying:

Might order a trident and give it a try.

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

ck, have you peeled your Moshi off and reinstalled it? Was it hard to remove?

Mine is up just a bit high and was thinking about trying to remove and reinstall it. Will it stick as good the second time around?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mitchellvii:
Wow, OK you win this week's prize for most ridiculous overaction to someone else's opinion disagreeing with yours. Congrats.

But as long as you've determined I'm now in charge of your life, come mow my lawn.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ckspeed1968:
It is easy to remove and re-install that's why I don't recommend using it without a case. If you drop the phone and lands on the sides or corners it could come flying of and there goes your phone screen. To me this screen is good for lots of reasons except to prevent screen shatter.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mitchellvii:
Regarding reapplying this screen protector.

One word of advice. When you drop $50 on a screen protector probably a good idea to read the instructions in the box before applying it.

Regardless, those instructions would have told you that to reapply this protector simply wash it with soap and water, let dry then reapply. The soap and water actually reactivates the adhesive.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
I did read the instructions and still have the protector on a tiny bit high. Trying to decide if it's worth the hassle of trying to remove and reinstall it. :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] AmorImpermissus:
re: Please (re-)read

With respect, please read the last sentence of my rant. I was not arguing the cost:value ratio, but calling attention to other indefensible claims.

My points were the following:

1. They use questionable marketing tactics and make false claims in their product description.

2. You should therefore not believe this screen protector is somehow any more scratch-proof than other glass screen protectors, or even smartphone screens themselves.

3. Owing to 1 & 2, I would hate for someone to take the claims of being "scratch proof" at face value, because, in actuality, it would take very little (i. e. a grain of sand) to scratch it.

That's important info to consider before doing business with a company, and born out by some of these claims regarding their warranty practices, or so it would seem.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sah0724:
Nice but a bit too expensive for my taste, will consider something much cheaper. I will say it looks good though.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mitchellvii:
Not sure what the issue is. If you are unhappy with its placement use the included suction cup to remove it (never lift a glass screen protector by its edge), wash it with soap and water, air dry then reapply properly. You won't wear out the adhesive.

---------- Post added at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

You are looking at price instead of value. Yes the price is high but the value is good. Always buy on value. Right now this is the ONLY edge to edge glass you can buy which will not halo.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Here's what I ended up with keeping the Moshi iVisor Glass on my Note 4. White UAG case with some silicone port plugs (have to keep my ports clean). :p

I pulled the glass off and repositioned it a little lower. Still have a couple of tiny specs of dust under there, I'll just have to live with it. :( The protector works just fine with this case. Here are a couple of pics:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sefrcoko:
I think it's a question of perspective. Some might say "why make it bigger than it already is", while others might say "go big or go home" lol. Both are valid approaches in my opinion :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] gpo1956:
You, sir, are one tough monkey. I consider myself sufficiently chastised.:p
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Returned my Moshi iVisor Glass for a full refund........................Good Riddance. :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] cjparker:
Oh don't tell me you RETURNED it! hehehe... I ordered mine from Moshi on the 9th.

It's still showing my order as "processing". I have the Samsung case. Did you finally end up abandoning it because it didn't work with the CASE you prefer? Or was there something inherently wrong with the protector itself

?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
I believe [MENTION=5860476]felloffthetruck[/MENTION] thought of it both ways. Not only did not work in the commuter case, but the protector was still prone to collecting dust and other debris.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
It seems the BodyGuardz is designed to be compatible with most cases, as per the comments in their YouTube channel, may pick up one at the time release. In the Meantime, the iLoome, HDX, Spigen Crystal (PET), will do.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Yes, it would not work with half my cases and the dust kept building under the screen. If you are using a case like the S-View or no case at all then it might be OK.

Another thing that I did not like were the "Port Holes" over the Samsung logo and capacitive buttons. :p

Give it a try, you might like it. ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Weren't the port holes covered by a thin sheet or plastic / glass as well or are they exposed to the elements?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Yes, they are under glass, just thought they were strange looking. :p

BodyGuardz Crown just another gimmick with a Halo hiding border?

Screenguard Pure = $45.00 + Crown = $45.00 = $90.00 screen protector, I'm In :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
That's correct, the Crown is just another gimmick with the Halo hiding border, but at least there is adhesive and chance of lifting since the aluminum sides of the Crown actually adhere to the device. Looks promising but will need to see this in person, since it was only demonstrated on the iPhone 6 Plus. The release is slated for the Note 4 next month.

The Pure and Crown are the same price, you're only paying $45, lol.

It's a $45 screen protector, not $90
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
I believe the Crown is an add on for their Pure screen protector. I could be wrong. :silly:

The Note 5 will be out before I find a decent screen protector for the 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
The Crown is not an add-on, its a separate entity but same price as the Pure. This is as per YouTube videos uploaded by attendees that attended CES this year.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
I'll get one as soon as they are available and see how it goes.

Looks very interesting.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Lol, crosses fingers.

This could might as be the ultimate solution. I'll let you know how the Moshi goes.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mitchellvii:
Guys, I've had the iVisor Glass on my N4 with the Samsung Flip Case (meaning it i super-exposed to dirt and dust) for a week now. Not one single piece of dust or hair or god knows what else has gotten under the protector. It is pristine and flawless. No idea what the hell some of you folks are doing to get so much crap under your screen but simply not an issue for me.

This is THE BEST SCREEN PROTECTOR I HAVE EVER OWNED - BY FAR. It's not even close.

P.S., If you are incapable of applying a screen protector without getting dust underneath it don't blame the screen protector. That's user error.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
I salute you. Will try the Moshi, indeed. Hey, whats there to loose, right? Moshi's Return Policy is hassle-free.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
We should all discuss the BodyGuardz Crown in this thread as well, probably another one of those Glass Screen Protectors we all have been waiting for.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
I'll take one. Let me know when they are ready?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Hopefully, by next month they will be available. I wouldn't be surprised if they intend to release these before Valentines Day, lol. Makes a great Valentine's gift. I don't know what other there is unless, President's Day? Um...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Bad news, may not be bad for you though, BodyGuardz informed me that their Crown (aka 2nd Gen Pure) is also .4mm thick, thus will not work with the Defender Series case, unless you're willing to pop out the built in screen protector of the case.

50/50
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] cjparker:
ordered my screen protector from Moshi last Friday.

It just shipped.

ETA isn't until Saturday.

*** sigh ***

Not like it's a huge deal. I mean... I'm not as anal about this as some folks, but it took almost 5 days just to process the order?

Sometimes I hate that we've become a culture accustomed to instant gratification. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
How thick is that compared to the Zagg or Alpha glass?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
They are all the same thickness. The iLoome is .12mm and is compatible with the Defender Series case and built in screen protector. I have a good feeling that Defender is my keeper whereas the Commuter is my standby, haha.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
How bad is the Halo on the Bodyguardz Pure glass protector? I believe that this is the only one I have not tried yet.

Is the pure glass that is out now the exact same one that will come with the crown in Feb?

Any pictures or videos of this anywhere?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
That's correct, the Pure Glass will be the same exact one as the Crown, with the exception of the halo being hidden in the Crown thanks to Aluminum edges.

Where's that fancy new alignment tray? Maybe coming with the new crown versions only?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
The reviewer in that video needs to learn how to read and follow instructions. The install so simple, easy, and foolproof, judging from the videos.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
BodyGuardz attempts to resolve this problem by hiding the halo under the aluminum coating of the protector. The protector confirms to the actual edges of the phone though, No Gap, Full Screen Coverage, Perfect Fit, according to the company.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
What about the tiny halos along the inside side edges of the actual display area?

I guess we will find out when they get the thing to market. I'll be waiting.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Unfortunately, according to BodyGuardz, its the same as Pure with the aluminum on the sides being just a little extra,

Here is BodyGuardz reply, "The Crown comes with the purchase of a Pure and is not sold separately. It is designed to work with most cases. Thanks!"

:(
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
The crown, work with Zagg glass also :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Nope. The Crown is its separate entity. I've been in contact with the company. Hopefully I can share some good news. :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
OK, please share that good news ASAP. ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Will do, in the meantime Moshi, where are you?!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Would it be possible to share a picture of the back of your phone between the frame and back cover. I want to make sure that the noticeable gap between the frame and back cover is part of the manufacturing process.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Don't worry, you will be returning that Moshi. :p
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Here we go again. :crying:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
I don't understand?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Would it be possible to post a picture of the back of your Note 4 with the Back Cover on. Or if you have picture from the past, that would work too. I want to see if this gap I'm seeing is on all devices. This gap is situated between the flimsy back cover and frame.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
I'll have to do it tomorrow. Is this by the top, sides or bottom?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
The gap I'm seeing in particularly from the bottom, where the back side has a slight curve along the metal edges
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Are you planning to stick to your Alpha now?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
I can't find any pictures of this area. I'll take some tomorrow.
[G2 General] robogo1982:
Found a "broken" G2 in the ads today, I might go check it out tomorrow. The seller is selling it for a very low price (somewhere around 150 USD) because the phone can't register to a network. Using my previous knowledge of other Android phones and the knowledge I acquired during my time with my own G2, I've deduced the following (ordered from least likely to most likely):

- the phone was dropped and the radio cable got detached (fairly easy fix, take the phone apart and reattach everything, the physical state of the phone can't be deduced from a single photo that's put online)

- the SIM tray is faulty because at the photo I got, a no SIM icon is visible (though that could've been taken without a SIM in the phone)

- something or someone messed up the EFS partition (I plan on checking whether the phone's bootloader root checker has been tripped, if the IMEI is okay, if it has a custom recovery, etc). The phone seems to have a stock ROM which I suspect someone flashed, or tried to factory reset the phone (which raised a suspicion described below).

But the most likely situation is that the phone was stolen. Why? Well:

- if the phone can't register to a network, its IMEI may be blacklisted

- the phone is being sold without any equipment, not even its box. The guy says it was sold to him like that, which makes me even more suspicious. I have some friends working in certain operators here, I'll snoop around once I get a hold of the phone's IMEI. If I can't get a straight story out of him, I'll try some intimidation or to knock down the price to oblivion, being that the phone might be stolen, and use it for parts, if my ways of finding its owner turn up dry.

Do you guys have any additional tips on what to check? I plan on putting my own SIM card in and trying to run some diagnostics from the hidden menus to see what's what.
[G2 General] vPro97:
Seems like you got it all covered! Best of luck.
[G2 General] Xer0 WindKey:
Hello, even if you have a friend inside, It would do you well to use one of those online IMEI Blacklist checkers, if the phone is from a US carrier and it happens to be stolen/blacklisted theres a good chance that it will appear.

Anywho, so how will you do it? Will the seller lend you the phone for a couple of hours for you to check all these things? Or Will you be gambling for it?

Best of luck, the G2 is freaking awesome! I'm having a blast! :D
[G2 General] ktetreault14:
Definitely worth it. I bought a sprint lg g2 that was "bricked" in TWRP after they tried to OTA. Lmao got it for $40! Unlocked and am using now
[G2 General] Sindroid:
Bought one recently (advertised as faulty antenna) but it had a messed up EFS. IMEI was null. Checked IMEI and it was fine. Restored IMEI and phone is flying fine.. Good luck on purchase.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XSuperDan:
Hi guys,

I have just unlocked the bootloader on the rom and installed TWRP Recovery, Went into the recovery and the touch screen wont work it just comes up with swipe to unlock but nothing happens nothing moves. So i thought i would try and turn it off and try again so i press and hold the power button at the top and the to white buttons at the bottom just flash and the device does not turn off.

Really hope you guys can help me as i will need to use my phone tomorrow and it has a full charge of battery.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
You need to hold the Power button for an extended time even after the buttons flash.

What TWRP version did you flash?

What version of the OS do you have?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
holding power and volume down will reboot to the bootloader.
