Ive being using an spigen neo hibrid case for about 7 days.... today I read a post somewhere saying that some cases were scratching the metal frame so I went running to my bedroom, took off the case and ....... is all scratched.
Small scratches but they are there, all around the phone.
Go and check yours and let me know [emoji35]
Many of these cases especially SPIGEN and Ringke scratches your bezel, yes.
Get a Thor.
Note 4 beats your Note 3, just sayin...
I have an Urban armor gear, have removed it already many times, no scratches
I assume it depends if there is any solid plastic scraping against the frame. Luckily on my Slim Armor it's only the soft part of the case that ever touches.
In my case is the same now after think about it I realized that is not the case.
The problem is the particles of dust and sand from the pocket that found the way in and also the aluminium used for the body is really soft and scratchable.
Thats why I wanted plastic body

People have reported scratches with the UAG
It's a design flaw by Samsung. It's bound to happen with the polished aluminum

Okay, well I can only say that I removed the phone about 15 times from the case and I just checked again. No scratches at all.

Fair enough, it just depends on whether stuff gets caught in between the case and phone.
Since the Seidio case did a number on my Note 2, I've tended to stay away from cases that grip using hard plastic. After the Seidio issue I went with a couple cases(one being Otterbox Commuter) that had a rubber inner shell and never had scratching issues after that. This time around, since the Otterbox wasn't out at the time, I went with the Incipio 2 piece case (rubber inner shell with hard plastic outer shell) and so far so good.
we wanted a metal better looking frame and they gave it to us, you can't expect it to be indestructible.
I don't think its the cases, its probably debris that get in between the case and the phone.
I removed my case over 100 times already to swap it, zero scratches.
I been using a Spigen Neo Hybrid and a Spigen Ultra Hybrid Crystal Clear cases, the second has 100s of *scratches* complains.
Polished Aluminium and Hard plastic cases is a bad idea.
Your better off getting a soft Jelly base TPU case.
I got this one for $6 Amazon and put it on and take it off all the time with NO scratches.

This is why I like the Otterbox Commuter.
It has a soft silicone liner that will not scratch the edges of the Note 4.

After you posted that, I had to check and confirmed it did leave a few small scratches on the bezel using Ringke. Oh wells, better than having a scuff bezel from being dropped. I'll probably try out some aluminum polish and see if it would buff it off.
I may be completely wrong but chances are that a small piece of grit or sand or dust has gotten into the case from the front. This in turn then rubs on the metal and causes minor scratches.
I've been using the Spigen neo hybrid and luckily haven't had any scratches. Some people on here have used the same case and have scratches.
It does suck to see minor scratches but would you rather that or a nice big cracking or chip if you dropped it without a case on?

Any time you have a shiny surface that's being constantly handled, it will get scratched eventually. It's a fact of life. Just get over it and enjoy your phone!

THIS! I am sick of people saying cases are scratching their chamfered edges on the Note 4. It's f***** chamfered edges for f***s sakes, they're going to scratch up easily from normal wear and tear regardless of a case, it's inevitable if you actually plan on using your phone like a normal person.

Hope someone can test it. I'd like to get it but it caused all sorts of problems on Xperia Z. As S4 has a ton of sensors I wonder how it's going to cope.
I'm running a SGP Ultra Fit and the Ultra Crystal at the moment, although I'm going to get a glas.Tr in the next couple of months when reviews are out; out of my experience with the glass protector on my Galaxy SII, it worked as advertised with the main problem being the unresponsiveness to cold fingers (e.g. Winter in Europe), which made me go for the Ultra Crystal. But since the new glas.Tr is slimmer and the screen of the S4 much more sensitive (gloves, Air View), I'm willing to give it a second try.
I have one installed on my S4, have to say that these are hands down the best feeling screen protector Ive used. I was a long time fan of the Invisible Shield HD for several devices before this one. My installation was not perfect, however. I have two tiny specs of dust presumably under the protector but not worth taking off and sending back for the replacement.
I don't yet have my S4, but nevertheless I have ordered both the glas.tr screen protector and the ultra slim shell.
There was a somewhat decent YouTube video that showed the glas.tr on an iPhone 5. What was important for me is that this protector has the adhesive across the entire screen and not like the S3 versions where it was limited to only the edges.
"So what you want me to do 'bout that?"
I have had mine on for 2 days now and I love it! Its case friendly and fits awesome. Also I had to take it off because of dust like 5 times and some packing tape took it right off the protector and went right back on! Now the tr slim is 38 I think vs the 25 for just the slim and the slim is I think about half as slim as the tr slim. So I'm not sure what I would have liked better. The rounded edges feel great. I can handle my phone and everything feels so smooth but if the slim is super thin, maybe I would have liked that more. Either way its just like having a screen on a screen. No touch issues or brightness problems at all. I'm almost sad that its meant to be thrown away once it took its fall for you! 5 stars. But I will be ordering a metal home button. Even the curved cutout for the home button still makes it too deep to press comfortably.

my application for the glas.tR is 99% perfect except for the bottom right corner just at the edge of it where there is one tiny speck of dust trapped.....but no point taking it off and ruining the adhesive..
mini glas.tR review: freaking smooth to touch, oleophobic coating does its job and ensures it aint a fingerprint magnet. easily wiped off when there are fingerprints.
nothing beats the feeling of glass....and the clarity is top notch...pretty damn worth it in my opinion.
Application tip: if you are applying yourself make sure you are in a dust free environment, for me i did it in my shower after a warm bath (the steam traps dust in the air and makes the evironment relatively dust free)

thanks for the photo semajm. I'm looking forward to getting the glas for my coming s4, especially now that they do a full screen adhesive.
Is the Tr (curved edges) worth the extra cost, compared to the "t"?
I see the one you have pictured is orange, and the one on the website which is blue, I'm just wondering exactly what the difference is, if you know?
glas.tR, the "T" stand for tempered and the "R" stands for rounded
the blue one is 0.28mm making it thinner.
the orange one is 0.4mm with the rounded edges. some users say it might fit cases better than the blue one. additionally, spigen says the rounded edges make it anti-chip
I'm really torn between the GLAS.tR SLIM and the Bodyguardz Pure. I know for a fact that the latter does not have rounded edges but I've heard some stating the oleophobic coating on the Pure is slightly better than the GLAS.tR, anyone have any opinions or have had both?

Did you put the little jelly bean sticker over your home button? Makes the button raised up like it should be, works pretty well actually.
im waiting for the aluminum ones to be available....the jelly beans totally make it cartoonish
So.. do the sensors work? Airview for example.
yup, if u look the sensors are not even covered. the one covered is the front facing camera and it still works beautifully
is this glas stuff work with the neo hybrid case
spigen says yes, it works with the neo hybrid case. im waiting for mine to come in

I have a glass .tr that I will be trying with the Rearth slim case. I dont anticipate it being an issue but will report nonetheless. I am thinking of getting the Neo hybrid soon though and am wondering if using those two together will cause the protector to push up.
I purchased the S-Line Note 4 clear case with kickstand and it fits ok but it doesn't cover the bottom bezel portion that's under the home button. I've heard that the Ringke clear case has the same problem as well. Any ideas where I can find a clear case that covers the entire lip/metal portion of the Note 4? It doesn't have to be clear but it would need to be a soft case and not a hard one because I don't want the case itself scratching the phone after putting the case on and off a couple dozen times.

Spigen Ultra Hybrid. I have The crystal clear. I had The same concern about scratches & I'm completely satisfied with this One.

Let Me see if I can attach One on this app, #noob
It is a soft "hard" rubber case. It is made out of a TPU type silicone. It isn't flimsy. You shouldn't have to worry about it stretching out of shape over time. You have to have battery removal OCD or something for that to happen. lol
I Usually Don't Beg For a "Thanks", but help a sista out if this was helpful. (^.~)
Thank you for the pictures. It seems like your case doesn't fully cover the lip at the top of the phone. My case covers everything except the bottom lip of my phone.

Lip Fully covered unless You ate referring to The bezel (white part of screen?) if so, that part had no contact on a flat surface with this case & glass screen protector.
I'm talking about the white bezel around the glass. It looks like your case covers the white bezel on the sides of your phone but fails to protect the top portion. What if your phone falls and smacks the top bezel instead of the lip of your case?

Just looks that way because the case is clear. Here are some more images from their site.

The "case capsule" is pretty slim too. Entire front bezel covered as well.
Seems like the case covers the entire bezel around the glass in those marketing pix. Why does the sides on your pix look yellowish white?
Check out how the case doesn't fit right beneath the home button. I need someone that protects the entire bezel on all sides.

There is a glass screen protector on it as well. I am just as anal about protecting All My Gadgets. Believe Me! I am an accessory junkie I have more cases coming. This One was affordable and won't damage through finish. The lip is slightly raised as well. If it did fall flat on its face it would not get scuffed. I have this case. Tempered glass screen guard & a purse/pouch I put My phone in when it's in My handbag! I Do Not walk The streets of NYC w/ "The precious" exposed by any means. When must make a phone call in public I do say in a spot I deem "safe", that includes from being snatched out My hand to an accidental drop by slip of The hand or a bump during rush hour. I am all over this. I know for Me, this is a good minimalistic setup. Will work great for My car holster as well. I Hate Bulky Cases. Everytime I bought an Outter or something equivalent; I regretted it. Likr someone replied earlier, it's hard to get a good sense of The fit. I have a wallet case on The way as well; I found on eBay. Hope You find something that works for !

Spigen New Hybrid - thin - classy loooking - Metal outshell - Rubber Inner Shell - great protection - covers the areas you are concerned about - and I think is the classiest looking case made today.
Good Luck - hope this helps

I noticed that, too. FWIW, I have the same case on a charcoal black Note 4; there's no discoloration.
Ended up ordering the Ultra Hybrid Crystal Clear case. Thanks for the input folks.
Slapped on the Spigen Ultra Hybrid onto my White Note 4. Covers up the white bezel below the home button better than my S-Line clear case but not completely. Bummer...
I bought the Ringke Fusion case off amazon and been satisfied. It covers the bezel and has port covers too.

I saw this case and seems to be very effective. I don't care about scratches in the chamfered edges as the metal polisher does his job very well. I just don't want to have scratches in the backpart or the painted bezels, and put the phone face down without scratching the screen. Does anyone have this case? Also, I want to know what material is it, TPU? Plastic?

The back part is a grippy tpu material the border is plastic or metal depending on which version you get. This case hasn't scratched my bezels or edges at all and it does have a slight lip to protect the screen when laying on flat surfaces.

I had one on my Galaxy S5. Its a tpu style case. It had a small lip so you could lay it flat face down with no worries.
I got this case. Like stated above its a tpu case with a grippy back. Does have a lip so u can lay it face down. Adds very little thickness to the phone. Buttons are very responsive i just wish they stuck out a bit. The buttons are flush with rest of the case as shown in the first picture
I have this case as well. It's thin, it's grippy and I haven't noticed it leaving a single mark on the phone yet.
Only downside I can think of is the quite sharp edge surrounding the USB port on the bottom which might make it less comfortable to hold if you hold the phone with your pinky at the bottom.
Overall I think it's a great case

I also have the Spigen "Neo Hybrid" case. Fits well, buttons are very responsive, no complains. I just would like it to be thinner but given the fact that this case was the only one I could find in Uruguay for my Note 4 I can't complain at all.
I recommend it.
Regards.
I have this case, I got it mainly because I loved the Bounce case for my note 3.
I really like it it's thicker than that normal tpu and feels good in the hand. It covers everything minus the screen and the cutouts are right. I think it's worth the 10.00 price tag, it's not as thick as the bounce case, but it still works well.

For a case that fits and protects, and is aesthetically suiting, I'd agree that $10 is very reasonable.
the buttons might get annoying.. i had the spigen with kickstand and the buttons annoyed the hell out of me. for a simple tpu case, i always go with diztronic.
also.. WTF spigen?? really auto focus embossing?
Don't buy this case, I was dumb enough not to read the reviews on amazon before purchasing it off of eBay! The case scratches the beveled shiny edges of the note 4, if you don't believe me check amazon for yourself.

nice try but its TPU it does not scratch the case, i have 3 of these and not a single scratch on either note 4 phone.
If this case scratches the sides so do all the other spigens with tpu inside. The only one that does scratch is the hardened plastic thin one (which i also have as well).
This is a comparison even though it wasn't specifically asked for. The Capsule case was my first purchase for the Note 4 because I liked the look, but it only led to dissappointment for me. Thus my reason for the comparison.
Spigen Capsule case:
Cons:
It is a loose fitting case compared to some of the others I prefer. Allows sand and dust in between the case and the phone which then causes the scratching that everyone talks about. Desert evironments are particularly bad.
It is a sharp case (it won't cut you, but it can be uncomfortable) at the bottom near the usb port and along the edges.
The button coverings are mediocre at best. They make button pressing less appealing especially for the volume.
Pros:
The case is fairly attractive for a TPU case (more so in pictures than in person).
The case has decent grip
Slim case
Samsung's Protective cover is the same size and profile:
Cons:
Not the most grippy case, but adequate.
Pro's
Slim case
Tight fit on the phone. Little room for particles to get trapped between the bezel and the case.
No sharp edges.
Does not collect grime and oil smudges like most cases. I literally never have to wipe it down.
Best looking TPU case I have seen for the Note 4.
Button coverings are clicky and feel great
Capsule pics
Protective Cover pics
I have read a lot of good reviews on the Samsung Protective Cover. It seems like you really can't go wrong with that one.
I have the Neo Hybrid Metal version which looks very similar to the capsule. My case has been on for 30+ days and I removed it to look for scratches. Nothing. Looked great. It looked just as great as the day I put it on. I think the scratching may occur when dust/debris gets between the phone and the case. I am very anal about cleaning every surface before I put the case on.
Also I have a at&t note. Read carefully it seems verizon and sprint variants moved one of the microphone holes. A lot of people are drilling new holes to uncover the relocated microphone...
will this case stand on its side and bottom on its own?
Price: 7$ (incl. shipping)

What I liked about it:

All ports are fully accessible, I can plug in any cable; other cases can't do that.

I think so, only bare metal is visible.
Also, I ordered some more, that fully cover the phone. Will post pictures as soon as those arrive + one NILLKIN Bluelight-filter thing Tempered Glass is on the way and should arrive soon, will post that one too.
What's on the way to me:
Mod Edit
I wont make a drop test, but can tell you that the sides of the phone are covered and so are the edges.
Pictures:
Cool, thanks. Will try to order this case
Just got today nillkin soft case, fits perfectly, buttons really comfortable. Price 7$ with free shipping (mine delivered in 2 weeks from China to Lithuania)
Here's link: MOD edit
I have very similar case (Nillkin frosted) for my HTC One (M7) and it is great. It did saved my phone couple of time including dropping it on a concrete surface from 1.5m. The design is very similar and will protect the screen also (it has raised edges which should absorb the hit). One disadvantage is that it doesn't protect the bottom/top side of the phone (where connectors are placed) so after a few years I got my phone heavily damaged in those areas (I'm not particularly gentle with this one). Ordered similar one for my Mi5
i already put nillkin tempered glass on my Mi5 and wear it a nillkin frosted shield.
but the frosted shield push the tempered glass, and the tempered glass is opened so often.
do you have similiar case like me? how do you fix it?
Confirmed. This case feels awesome in the hand!

i already put nillkin tempered glass on my Mi5 and wear it a nillkin frosted shield.
but the frosted shield push the tempered glass, and the tempered glass is opened so often.

so far it didn't destroy a single one of mine. Using it formore than two months now and had no problem
I did change the temepred glass inbetween, tried one of those "blue filters" -> what sucked. So went back to a normal tempered glass.
But anyway: did not break my tempered glass with this thing.

Mine wasn't placed properly, bit more one edge.
I've had a Nilkin hard shell for my OnePlus One for 2 years and it's still in great condition and the phone is immaculate because of it.
Glad to see they make one for the Mi5!
You should definitely check the Ringke Fusion case as well. I got the Fusion smoke black for my black mi5. It looks good with this one too and it feels well protected. I replaced the Nillkin Nature TPU case which I had been using The Nillkin Super Frosted shield looks good too though.
I also have the Nillkin tempered glass installed (for about 3-4 days ) and I can spot already some minor scratches on it. I never had the phone in the same pocket with my keys.. I hope it will last more than 4-5 months before it needs replacement..

I am using the same NILLKIN super frosted Shield, no extra thickness whatsoever, feel premium, and above all, retains the beauty of Mi5.
Today, I have ordered Graphene Armor tempered glass protector, with a minor doubt whether it will fit or overlap with the back case.

How do you like it? Would you recommend?
People should put temperate glass with nillkin frosted on MI5 for perfect alignment.
No issues here.
Now that the phones are arriving, what screen protectors are you using and how would you rate them ?
I just put on an "Armorsuit" protector. It was a bit of a pain to put on. It took about 5-7 Minutes and two tries. Which I guess isn't horrible. The key was to be slow and gentle when using the squeegee to remove the liquid. I put a Supcase unicorn beetle case on it after 15 minutes without the edges popping up. The feel of the screen is rubbery. The screen is 99% covered and seems like it'll offer minimum to moderate scratch protection. It doesn't seem like it'd offer any drop protection. The instructions say it takes around 12 hours to fully "cure" (cure is my word, not theirs). I'd rate this about a 3.5 out of 5 for ease of installation and protection.
Edit:Edges seem to peel after 20-30 minutes and the clarity is a bit opaque.
I just ordered spigen flex hd. should be in friday

The wet apps seem to work best because of the curve. I have used the regular xtremeguard with great success and paid less than $15 between 8 sets for both the S7edge and Note 7.
Wet application IQ shield full body on mine.

Unfortunately my Xtremeguard was backordered. Decided to pickup some full body shields from Skinomi. We'll see if they are worth $30, compared to roughly $1 for the Xtremeguards.
Iq shield isn't the greatest either. It takes forever to put on and the edges don't like to stick at all. After a few hours of having it in my case the day after install the edges started pulling up.

Must be the way the case sits. Mine seems ok so far anyway. This is the case I use

The edges were peeling before I put the case on it, but it's the belt holster that really peels the edges up. My spigen neo hybrid crystal doesn't seem to bother it.

I tried two different ones, wet type... too bad..
Anyways if you plan to put a case on it.. forget it.
the case makes the edges pop out.. was soo annoying so I just pulled it off.
I hope someone makes a tempered glass curved protector. that would be amazing.
Check out the PureGear Tempered Glass with Self Aligning Tray for Note 7...
skinomi wet install.
Its the only protector i will use. Since the phone can get wait its no problem installing it. The corners hold good if you install it right. (rubbing and drying the edges.)
Bodygaurd's screen protector was an easy wet apply and it fixed the tiny air pockets over night. The edges are about 3/4 the of the way covered so it doesn't get peeled back by a case.My only issue with this screen protector is that it feels like very soft when using your fingers but it is great for the s-pen.

I had one put on at best buy by the geek squad. I believe it was a wet application process. It covers most of the top bezel and the edges. I have it in an s view Samsung case without issues.It cost $30 and lifetime warranty.

I bought the Skinomi Matte Finish protector through Amazon. I was extremely wary, based on how well the "liquid applique" protectors of the past worked. As in, not at all. But the installation went really well. I went light on spraying the soapy water on the adhesive side, but ensured I got the whole thing coated. It's 99.9% sealed and bubble free. The .1% is the edge right above the volume keys where it appears I wasn't diligent enough in pressing that section down until the adhesive firmed up. Regardless, I would recommend this one to any of you folks. I also purchased their carbon fiber skin for the back, so I'll try to let you know how that one goes as well.

Just ordered the OEM Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Screen Protector (2-Pack) from a Florida-based e-Bay seller,ETA 8/30/16:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-Sam...182391?hash=item43f3ce25b7:g:po4AAOSwHoFXt4NO
I've already received the OEM Leather Case from this seller,so I'm confident his mdse is the genuine article.....................
The samsung protector is good but the edges will still lift when paired with some cases. It didn't sit well with the case mate tough mag that I'm using. In the end I used a bit of sticky tape in the very edges of the protector. Holds it in place and the case hides it so no one can see it's there. Will probably leave some sticky reside but the phone is water resistant so what the hey I'll just wash it.

Pics please, and did the corners stick with that case? I put on a matte IQ Shield and it did well until I added a Spigen Ultra Hybrid. The sides are doing fine but the case is pushing up the corners.
I know matte is not for everyone, but I like it. I thought a clear case would be good for show until I saw all the crud collecting behind it.
