Galaxy Note 4 Screen Protector, MobilePioneer Tempered Glass Crystal Clear HD Screen Protector For Samsung Galaxy Note 4

So first off, ALL of the tempered glass screen protectors for the Note 4 WILL have the raised edges and leave a halo effect or bubble. This one is cut shorter than normal protectors, but this one STILL will have a bubble and halo effect. Dust will collect underneath, and it will have a little viewing distortion in those areas. I have searched through tons of different companies, checked out the ones sold in stores and little mall kiosks, all of the tempered glass protectors have the same problem.So getting that out of the way, if you are still interested in this protector regardless of the halo thing, then this is a great protector for the price. It is cheaper than the other companies, way cheaper than in the store protectors, which at the Verizon store, was priced at 25 bucks. This protector applies on very easily, although the instructions on the box are TERRIBLE. Extremely poor english was used to write the instructions but if you have applied a screen protector before then you will be fine.The actual protector itself does a great job. It has a solid thickness to it, did not interfere or dim the screen's HD quality, is pretty fingerprint and smudge resistant(easy to wipe off any ones that were there), and did NOT interfere with the S pen detection and writing. It is definitely scratch resistant! I took several knives to the protector and tried to scratch the hell out of it and there was nothing on it and it still worked! (I did not do this while the protector was on the phone, so don't try that at home!) I didn't try taking a hammer to it like the picture shows, but overall it was a solid piece of tempered glass to protect the screen. The one and only, kind of big, downfall was the lifting of the edges. This is a problem with the Note 4's design that prevents all of the tempered screen protectors to do this. So if you don't want the halo effect and edge lifted look, then get a normal film screen protector, but if you for sure want the tempered glass and protection it provides, this is a great product.I'm writing this review after the company emailed me asking if I was satisfied with the product and I said I wasn't. They said they could replace it but it would be the same problem or refund me my money. I asked for the refund and they gave it to me that day. The company was very helpful and responsive so if you want to give it a shot, then at least it is good to know the company will stand by their product and keep their customers happy. They did NOT ask for a positive review in response to my refund or email contact, just did so because I did like the screen protector, just didn't like the raised edges.

I give these guys a 5 on service, but a 3 on the actual product. I purchased mine initially about 2 weeks prior to the Note 4 (ATT) release. I wanted to be fully protected from day 1 if possible, and they promptly sent the screen within a few days. Just before it arrived, though, they sent me an email stating the screen I was getting wasn't going to fit properly, but they were finishing up the new version and gave me the choice of receiving that or getting a refund. I chose to receive the new version.I never attempted to install the original one, since my case gives enough protection anyway. I got the revised version about 4 days after I got the phone, and just got around to installing it. To MobilePioneer's credit, they had good communication throughout the process, and gave me 2 extra screens for the "wait time" on the replacement. This is my experience:1 - The cleaning cloth that came with the screen actually adds more dust particles to the screen than it cleans. This may just be me, but I had use my own cloths to accomplish this.2 - The screen itself feels well made, but does not cover the entire screen. With the screen off, you can see the edge of the lit portion of the phone extending slightly on both sides (Left and right). The top and bottom sides are covered, with the screen stopping well short of the very top and bottom of the bezel (the home button and camera / speaker / sensors at the top are cut out).3 - Though this wasn't the first screen I've installed (going back to the iPhone 3g), I simply could not get all the air from under it. There were sections that simply would not "buff out" for me. Because of the glass thickness, you could really see it stand out on top of the phone screen, which didn't look real IMO. Also, using the home button you basically scrape your thumb across the edge of the screen, which never felt comfortable (my pack did not come with any button covers, if that was an option).After about an hour of messing around with it I just took it off. The screen I used for my Note 2 was thinner, but a lot more comfortable to use, easier to install, and not noticeable unless you really looked for it. I may pursue a screen once the companies have a chance to work out the kinks, but I probably won't be using this one.

I installed it and messed it up. I got lint under it even being careful. I was afraid to install it because of the lack of instructions. I am sure if I did it a second time I could get it right. Nobody would help do it for me because they were afraid of screwing it up too. Its not wide enough to cover the whole screen on my Galaxy note. It doesn't have tapered edges and feels weird when you run your fingers along the edge. I wouldn't recommend this one. But I don't know of any others for the same price. I guess you get what you pay for. I think I would like the whole screen covered and tapered edges. Its a nice phone and you don't want to cheapen it out with a lousy fitting screen protector. Or maybe you just don't care.

As others have noted this does not completely cover the screen (it could be 1 mm wider and achieve this). If perfectly centered about 0.5mm will not be covered on either side of the screen. This does not bother me. I understand they did it to avoid the curved edges of the Note 4 screen, but with that said, 1mm wider and I don't think it would be an issue. Bonus from the seller I ordered from sent an additional non glass screen protector in the box with the glass protector.UPDATE 12/15: After a year of use, the protector got a chip in one of the sides and a week later the Crack spread as a single hairline Crack diagonally across the screen. It is only visible if the phone is held at the right angle.
