Given that they are the same dimensionally, do you think that a screen protector for the Note 3 will fit the Note 4? I have an extra glass protector that I was hoping to use on the Note 4 rather than buying another.
I would imagine they would be very close, if not exact. The only problem I see by the pictures is that the front camera sensor is significantly larger on the note 4. The other sensors seem to be the same otherwise. I'd recommend you go into a best buy near you that has the note 4 on display and hold your screen protector up against the device to see if the fitment is okay.

Tempered glass screen covers seem like the best but are the even going to be any for this phone because of the curved screen?
This is what I want too. I want protection but I still want the slickness of glass. I don't see why the curves would prevent it. Perhaps it may not fit if the curves are slightly off.

Someone will make it eventually, but to me tempered glass covers for phones and tablets are a waste of money because a replacement screen is still cheaper, not to mention the fact that you are still putting another layer of glass on your phone.

Because of the way the screen is designed, you wouldn't be putting as much glass on as you would with any other phone, another layer of glass would make this phone feel like any other phone in terms of touch responsiveness.

Unfortunately because the nexus 4 digitizer is attached to the LCD panel I don't believe it will be replaceable that cheaply. As ifixit notes "The glass is fused to both the display and the display frame. So don't crack the glass unless you're good with a heat gun, or you're fond of replacing the glass, display, and frame together ($$$)"
my gf's SGII screen has a crack and they quote 218 bucks for the replacement screen... and that's on a old SGII!
now we have these new kind of screens so replacing a 200+ bucks on a screen? might as well just buy a new N4 while you're at it!
Not quite available yet, but Nexus 4 Ultra Shield Tempered Glas - Black
Can't wait for one of these to be released , I'll finally feel like my n4 is completely protected

For anyone looking at comparing the prices between a new screen and the glass protector, a new screen assembly cost $100 brand new. Id rather put a $30 investment on a screen protector than spend 3 times that because i was stupid.

Would love to see a Glas.t get released for these as my note has had one ever since they were released. Worth the money I felt for the protection.,

I agree man when I had my note (with the sgp glass) I got it jammed in my trunk, it was squished in between my car frame and the trunk door, when I finally got it out the only thing that was damaged was the tempered glass Haha it spider webbed and when I pealed it off no other damage

I bought the ringke fashion case with the extreme guard screen protector but the case fits perfectly on the phone so the screen protector has bubbles all around the edge. Has anyone found a screen protector that doesn't cover all the way to the edge? Thanks!

X-shields don't go all the way to the edge...
i am looking for ones that DO go all the way to the edge and i ended up getting these ones and i am disappointed
Do you have a link couldn't find them. Thanks!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
if you read the screen protector thread you'd most likely find your answers there. as for the protector not covering the edge. 99.9% of all dry apply screen protectors dont cover the edge because of the curved glass. and also only a hand ful of the wet protectors cover the glass completely
Spigen screen protectors are designed for this purpose, it allows a few mms gap around the edges.

Hi there,
I've just bought a Nexus 4 and have already ordered a Ringke Fusion case for it. Only thing left is a screen protector and I can't pick between the options out there.
Does anyone know any Nexus 4 screen protectors (good branded, not any old screen protector) that don't require water for application?
Cheers!
Usually I use a case, but after a terrible experience with a spek case on my old s4, I'm thinking about only using a screen protector on my nexus 5? Any opinions? I do drop my phone, but not often and usually from 4 ft at most. I'm thinking about one of those zagg screen protectors...
I've found that since gorilla glass 2 screen protectors are a thing of the past. I haven't used one on my last two phones and I have no scratches on them. I usually use just a slim tpu case and no screen protector.

Guess it just depends on what is a more horrible experience : whatever happened with your last case or coughing up a bare minimum $150 to fix the screen if you break it. Not that it's guaranteed you won't break your phone with a case, but your odds certainly improve.
Case is the most important. SP will save you a few scratches over time where as a case might save you $350.

Hi guys.
I have found new case for my Nexus 4, but in my opinion all spoils the appearance of nexus 4, but I found something other. It is tempered glass protector.
It cost about 9$ and look nice CLICK!. I saw many test on youtube, also drop test but only iphones and samsung, no nexus there, but It looked really nice. All times in drop test glass protector broken but screen was like new, any scratch and cracks. Does anyone test it nexus?
What you think about it like only one protector on nexus?
Sorry for my poor language. (on back only film screen protector)
Best Regards!
I'm guessing no one bothered to reply..... Anyway I know not many manufacturers offer tempered glass screen protectors for the nexus 4, but I have direct experience with some for the iPhone 5s and drop protection is superb! At first the screen looked broken and cracked but it turned out it was just the glass screen protector. I heard that the tempered glass screen protectors had trouble adhering to the curved sides so be warned
