Skinomi Techskin Screen Protector for Note 4, Revised Fit (Prompt Customer Service)
Purchased a Skinomi Techskin mainly for the body and back cover of the Note 4. In the first version I received, the cut-outs are off and the plastic film were bigger than than the phone.
However, after requesting a replacement, I received the correct sized protector film now.

Buyer Beware: Skinomi Techskin Screen Protector for Note 4, Bad Fit
Purchased a Skinomi Techskin mainly for the body and back cover of the Note 4. I gave the screen protector a try and the fit is horrible, the cut-outs are off and the plastic film is bigger than than the phone.

I actually used this screen protector for a brief period when I first bought my N4. The fit was perfect for me - as always; however, I purchased mine directly from Skinomi. I took it off because it felt a bit strange with the s-pen. For people considering a tech-skin: It is a wet application skin protector so you have to be relatively careful when installing. I was paranoid AF when I did
The Carbon Fiber Skin for the back cover had problems though. It just would not adhere on the corners because of the back cover being rounded or whatever. I tried modifying it several times but in the end I just ripped it off. The skin continues to cover the sides of my phone along with the camera, but that's about it.
edit:
I am currently using a SuperShieldz Glass SP and there is absolutely no halo on my Verizon [Black] N4.
If there is a halo, I can't see it so I'm happy S: I would post a picture but my older phones have really bad cameras and they would make the SP look invisible because of the blurryness - and although it almost is, we all know that's not the case :3
I must have received a defective or earlier version directly from Skinomi. I've dispatched an e-mail to Skinomi and I'm getting a replacement thanks to their Lifetime Warranty. Good to know that the fit was well for you. When did you purchase your Skinomi?

It was sometime around October I think?
You certainly could have received a defective version because, if i recall correctly, the Skinomi SP covered edge to edge (?)
This is how I always apply mine:
- Turn off phone and remove the battery
- Wipe the screen without the provided solution
- Spray a small amount of the solution onto the provided cleaning cloth and proceed to wiping the screen
- Apply the Screen Protector while still slightly wet, fixing the position freely until achieving the desired results
- While holding the SP in place with two fingers on opposite sides of the phone, push out any remaining bits of moisture underneath until the SP sticks without your assistance (careful at this part *-*)
- Let dry for several hours before turning on the device
so yeah, pretty much what the instructional video tells us to do XD just gotta be patient when installing d:
I will never go back to that though after experiencing how fracking easy it is to apply a glass SP *-* feels better too
The protector I received went beyond the edge by a couple of centimeters. The cut-outs were meant for the Note 4, but were way off.

Must have received a defective shipment. I just put the same thing on my phone 2 days ago. Aside from some slight overlap of the side strips, it fits great. Screen protector fits excellent as well.
I had made the mistake of buying a Decalgirl wrap thinking it would cover entire phone....mistake. Only shipped 2 small front pieces for top/bottom bezels and back. Front stuff looked silly, back cover didn't cover entire back, leaving phone looking very cheap.
So far, really happy with the Techskin on my device. Only issue is I got a small piece of dust under it in lower right corner on front
Excellent Customer Service
I'm extremely pleased how Skinomi handled my issue. I received the replacement today and voila, correct sized-screen protector (Seems like they revised their product multiple times). I definitely recommend Skinomi, just realized their product is Made in the USA.

I've used these on a couple different devices now, and in my opinion/experience they are by far the best screen protectors! For years I bought Ghost Armor screen protectors, but I'd never go back to Ghost Armor now. Techmatte protectors are priced much lower, yet still offer a lifetime warranty, and they feel and look MUCH better! I installed it almost 3 weeks ago, but wanted to review it after I had for used a while so I could say how it looked and held up over time. Fortunately, just like every TechMatte protector I've used in the past these don't scratch and don't peel up over time. So 2 weeks after installing it still looks absolutely perfect! On the Note 4 they cover the screen up to where the glass begins to curve, so there is no issue of it not sticking anywhere or causing any odd visual appearance like glass protectors do. The cutouts for the camera, sensors, speaker, and home button are all perfect and precisely where they should be. In the package you receive 3 screen protectors, micro-fiber cleaning cloth, squeegie, 5 hinge stickers, rubber bands for holding the protector in place while you're applying the hinge stickers, and instruction manual. Anyone who's used the hinge method for installation in the past will tell you that there is no better way. I won't install a screen protector without doing the hinge method now, as it makes the installation fool proof and assures a perfect install. I had never used rubber bands prior to this installation, but it really helped out a lot. I got the install done perfectly the first try, as the hinge method assures everyone will, and installing in the bathroom while the shower is running hot water will keep any dust out of the air. Feel free to ask any question you have.

EDIT : A few pics added
Completely agree with everything you said. I've only had mine on for 3 days and its like it isn't even on the device.
The feeling of a glass protector is the best, but with none of those really working for the Note4, these protectors cannot be beat.
For $3.99 it's a hell of a bargain.
Do you mind posting a picture of the screen protector itself or on your phone? The picture on the product page isn't very clear.
I've had it on my Note 4 for two weeks now. I don't worry about having keys in the same pocket now. Damn near invisible with the Speck CandyShell Grip Case. I'm actually thinking about cutting one of the protectors down multiple times to make some camera lens protectors, since I ordered 2 packets at that price. I'll post here if successful.
Just installed mine last night and am happy with it.
Added a few pics. Let me know if you want to see a close-up of a specific area, specific angle, whatever. I'll take my Note 3 with me tonight, just in case any has any requests.
Thanks for posting pics. I was hoping the screen protector would extend farther than the display and up until where the glass starts to curve.
Hi all
got the edge plus with the clear view case now i have exactly the same issue with the smaller edge with little dots and a scratch on the screen.
contacted Samsung and they say their is nothing official for the Edge Plus so the chances are they will not replace the screen free of charge.
is anyone out their in the same boat as me, is their any official notification from Samsung covering the Edge Plus
Thanks
Same sh*t for me, my brother has the S6 edge and had this problem, and I bought the clear view cover for my edge+ thinking it was fixed, after 3 days, noticed few scratches when I was on sunlight, 2 weeks with the phone and already pissed out 'cause of stupid things like these...
Sent from my SM-G928F using XDA Free mobile app
I got this case but after reading about the issues with the S6 I only used it after installing a screen protector. I then noticed small pinpricks in the protector after using the case and I could even see the indentation of a circle where the magnet touches the screen. Fortunately most of the marks disappeared from the protector after a few days but it appears that they have not resolved this in the design. I also found that the back of the case itself scratches too easily - it is already showing several scratches even though I have been very careful in handling it. I am surprised they sell it as an official case given the known problems.
The clear view case is definitely one to stay away from. Although it added to the beauty of the phone, it just was not practical, offered no screen interaction when closed and over time I would imagine it would wear out quite quickly. Returned mine after 2 days (before any scratches set in) and opted for the official SView cover which gave me back the functionality that I was used to. Having had the original SView cover on my Note3, after 2 years of hard use it really protected my phone well. The case is in gold and looks better than I expected. Fingers crossed this new SView cover for my edge+ will hold up the same.
i have the clear view case for almost 2 weeks now and not a single scratch or dent visible; maybe you guys had some dust or smth in your pockets that went inbetween the case and the screen?
I had for few days the phone didn't scratch but the cover is completely scratched and it's just awful now ?

I've had my gold clearview case for a week and it's looking a little bit scratchy but nothing too serious.
I just wonder where people's expectations lie in these cases. Of course we don't expect to see scratches on the screen when there's a protective case over it but the case couldn't have caused the scratches. Previous S-View and flap cases were quite soft and spongy, these ones are tough so grit could easily get pressed against the glass. If anything, Samsung should provide a screen cover with the case. I use a plastic screen cover anyway because I find the bare glass too slippery at times.
As for scratches on the case itself, well that's what it's for! It takes the hit so your phone doesn't, and with a mirror finish you'll see some wear and tear. If you wanted a case that maintains its original appearance then don't pick mirror finish, clear hard shell or light colours - grab a dark silicone thing to wrap around your phone and it will look the same in 2 years as it did the day you bought it. Next we'll be seeing case protector films to keep the case from degrading!

Mate,
I am a very careful user 1.5 years with M8 without any case and it still looks brand new. But a "Official Samsung case" I expect it to be a bit more durable and not prone to so much scratches and this case ain't cheap either. Now Clear case by Spigen no no scratches on the case or phone. I'm happy with the performance. I chose Clear view case from Samsung so I can take advantage of it's features.
I've bought the clear view case for my black S6E+ and I can confirm that it does indeed scratch the screen.
The first scratches appeared after something like 3 days of usage, so I've placed spigen ultra crystal to protect screen from further damage and to mask the spots.
I thought that maybe the reason was that I've carried the phone in the case in my pocket one day. But to my rage I've noticed that the case have damged the screen protector within 2-4 hours after applying it and this time there was no pocket to blame, I was home with my little girl sick so I've only moved the phone from one room to another always carrying it in the hand.
I've contaced Samsung Poland by their facebook account and they advised to report the problem to authorised service center in order to assess the damage, but I've let it go - I dont think they have much experience with replacing the screen in this particular device and I was afraid that the final effect may be in fact even worse.
So I replaced the Spigen with another one (~20$ went straight to the bin) and I stay away from the clear view case. At the beginning I was using S-View Cover (highly recommended) but I settled now with Rock TPU (way slimmer and better than Nillkin Nature or Spigen Liquid).
I've compared clear view cases for S6 and S6E+ and it is obviuos that they tried to improve the design by adding a kind of "lip" along the internal edge of the flap so I doesnt rest at the whole screen all the time. This means that the scratches will now be placed (as it was in my case) along the edges of the screen thus giving additional meaning to "S6 Edge"
It does have oleophobic coating and yes it seems to be able to heal minor scratches so thats a plus, but it really doesnt matter as long as the case meant to PROTECT the screen actually DAMAGES it.
Thanks for that. Im glad i went for the S-view instead, i had it on my Note 4 previously without a single scratch.
In UK Samsung acknowledged that clear view case causes scratches on s6 edge and they are replacing screens (only once) plus adding screen protector, wondering if its the same for s6edge+. Worth asking samsung helpline
Mine did it after just a few days. I hate flip covers anyway. But I can't un-scratch the screen.
Ugh...
Chiffon Method to avoid scratches
Chiffon method to avoid scratches
Here is something that came to my mind using Chiffon fabric to put inside the cover to protect the screen, if the screen is still prone to scratches after this, means that the screen is pure crap.
If you don't want to use the Chiffon one, pay attention not to use one made from plastic.
Material:
- A cut of Chiffon fabric, in Mexico costs 1 dolar per meter.
- Transaparent glue, the one used in school that is water washable, in case of error, it can be safely removed
PROCEDURE: (Very complex)
- Glue the fabric into the inside of the cover as you will see in the picture
That's it, is possible to use any mostly transparent fabric in cotton or polyester that is like Chiffon or better, I found this one here.
NOTE: The pictures are very bad quality, looking at the phone is mostly the same using the fabric compared to not using it.
NOTE 2: Inside the cover is mostly the same in black, the bad lighting where I shoot it creates that gray halos, is pure black and if you are a purist you can do it much better than me.
NOTE 3: "CON" mean WITH and "SIN" means Whithout
No offence but it looks really terrible...

I ordered this last week off amazon with some reservations about the product and took a $7.00 leap of faith on PLESON. I've used their products before and have yet to have any significant issues asides from chipping on the edges of their screen protectors but that is the case for most glass protectors of any brand. Upon seeing the initial packaging I was a bit disappointed thinking they had simply set a single glass screen protector. To my surprise they had sent two plus all the proper prep materials - I was thankful for this.
The kit included the following; Glass screens (2) sticker guides (2) wet prep cloth (2) dry prep cloth (2) Large Dust removal Stickers (2) and a warranty card plus instruction manual. By far the most complete kit I've yet to use. The protector was applied easily and without air bubbles or any other defects. I have only one issue with this product. This does not span the entire screen. Leaving room for error near the edges of the bezel. Yet, a small perk to this flaw is any case that may "Wrap" (Some Otterbox cases do this) the edge of the bezel will work with this screen protector.
I installed this one last night. I'm happy 2 came in the box because I sure dropped the first one. I don't like that you can see the screen from the edge. The inward pointing corners near the top speaker don't stick.
Sent from my Google Pixel XL using XDA Labs
Very disappointed to see that they changed the design from the original they showed when they took my money for the order I placed on 10/14. The original image (which did show it alongside the Pixel XL) showed cutouts for the camera and speaker, not wholly cropped sections of the glass.
Still waiting on delivery (Pleson shows it shipped on 10/18 and expected delivery by today, but didn't use any tracking method). Will have to see how well it'll play with the RhinoGuard bumper before deciding whether to keep it or not.

I have this protector and my corners near the top speaker don't stick as well. I thought I just placed it too high up, good to know I'm not the only one. I complained to Pleson and they are sending me a revised version. Not expecting it to be much better..
After many months of scouring the internet and more money spent than I'd like to admit, I have finally found what I would consider a better screen protector than even the OEM installed one from Samsung. I have tried close to 10 different protectors for my Z-Flip 3 and they all were relatively disappointing when comparing to Samsung's OEM film. They ranged from horrible to acceptable but still not ideal. Most Amazon sellers (even the top rated films) fail where you'd expect it to fail, the hinge, and it seemed all but impossible to achieve the results the phone comes with new. That is, until I got my hands on whitestone's new premium DOME SILK(UTG) film. This guy is actually superior to the OEM film and outclasses it in every way. The feel is fantastic, the clarity is perfect and the most important part is the hinge adhesion, which is every part as good as the OEM one. With the installation jig that is included with the dome film, I got a perfect install on my first try without a single bubble or blemish even across the hinge. So long as you watched the install video which you have to scan a QR code on the box to access, the install is extremely smooth. It's nerve-racking at first but extremely doable. When adhering the hinge area, I highly recommend you go as slow as possible with the squeegee to ensure no bubbles in the area that dips. Anyway I won't make this any longer, I just wanted to let everyone else know that if you want and OEM+ screen protector for your z flip 3 you should absolutely buy the Whitestone dome silk film the first time instead of wasting money on films that bubble up after one or two folds or that feel like hot garbage.
I'll second these products. Recently purchased as the OEM screen protector started to develop cracks at the hinge (lemme tell you how freaked out I was until I realized it was the protector and not the actual screen). Install was easy and the jig is clever and effective, just MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS.
No issues with the product so far and perfect adhesion.

I live in the northeast, 2 hours from Canada so yes, it's been between 5°- 25° consistently. I will say that I am conscious about the cold and generally try not to flip the phone open if I've been outside for a while because of the horror stories I've heard about displays cracking when opening in extreme cold.

Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to get a picture of it installed because my only other phone is a galaxy S9+ with a cracked camera lens. I tried taking a pic with my surface pro 4 but it's so grainy it's impossible to make out. I can tell you that visually, it's identical to the oem. Size and finish are the same, it's when you touch it that you realize how much better it is than the oem. Just picture the stock screen protector but slightly slightly shinier.
So here's an update, yesterday I got a new case, one of the full protection cases that have a hinge shield built in and after using the case yesterday and waking up this morning, I found that the entire portion of the screen protector that conforms to the hinge lifted from the screen. Now, I'm not sure what the culprit was, comma if it was somehow the new case that caused this or if it was just a screen protector itself But I have another backup backup screen protector that I am going to put on after work today work today and use it with my old case to verify if the case caused this problem or not. I personally don't see how it's possible that the case caused it to lift but I can't deny The significance of it lifting within 24 hours of putting a new case on. To me, it looks like the protector almost shrank a little and contracted which caused it to lift in the area with the most pressure which would be the hinge because of the curves but I will verify this and I will update this post with the results.
It's been 4 days since installing the replacement film I had and it's already holding up much better than the first. The first lasted only 48hrs before the whole hinge lifted up. I installed this one a little different. First, when using the squeegee to adhere the film, I used much more pressure and slid it much slower (especially around the hinge area). Next, when it was finished being installed, I opted to not close the display for a full 24hrs to allow the adhesive to set and the film to "lock" to the shape of the display. Call it a curing time if you will. I also used my variable temperature heat gun set to its lowest temperature (350°f) and warmed the film mostly around the hinge while using my thumb to apply pressure back and forth. The purpose of the heat was to mock heat cycling the film and further set it to the display. All of these steps combined resulted in a perfect application again but now 4 days later in the same 15-30°f ambient temp I have no lifting at all and no signs of any adhesion issues. This will be my last post on this topic unless it fails in an unreasonable amount of time as there's nothing else I can do to install it and better and at that point I would deem it a bad product. For now I stand by it being the best aftermarket film for this phone.
I've just bought it and it should arrive on 3rd of march. I was wondering if it comes with a glass already installed and, since I am in love with Tough Armour cover of Spigen, glass screen protectors ( even of the little screen ) would be compatible with spigens cover.

Tough Armour arrived, Optik Lens Protector arrived, tomorrow hopefully the phone will arrive too
Arrived. Everything is ok but the film on the screen. The feeling is tremendous yet they tell you not to remove it. Wtf?
Is fitting a glass over it a possible solution?
I just tried the Whitestone Premium,,, what a waste of time. Got it on with no bubbles. Let it sit for 5 minutes just to make sure. Went over it again. Still lifted at the crease as soon as I flipped it closed. Reseated 2 more times, immediately lifts as soon as I close it. Anybody got any other protectors that will actually stay on the crease???

Hi,
Did you apply it correctly?
I had the same problem and then i noticed that i accidently applied the screen protectors protector
It is very easy to make that mistake. You have to read the instruction very carefully and really look that you are applying the correct part. I learned it the hard way. Bought a new one and got it applied correctly.
Now, it will not lift off, it's stuck to the screen very firmly for over 4 months now with no problem.

I applied it with the jig, the right way and still got it wrong...
cuz if you get it right, it should stick and stay with no problems.
On the film there is 3 layers of plastic, two have to be removed. the real protector is like sandwiched in between 2 protective films.
Just a heads up.

Hi Y'all.
I've applied Whitestone Dome protector twice now.
No bubbles and application appears perfect.
Fingerprint sensor works albeit not quite as well as before application.
All well & fine - but: both times the protector cracks in the lower left corner.
I haven't observed any physical reason - i.e. drops or otherwise - for this to happen.
I ordered a new package.
Thoughts/experience welcome?

You using a case?
Otherwise dimensions are off, mounted off center or surface not level.
QC and customer service sucks with Whitestone, that was my experience with them; to sum it up it was very unpleasant. I won't touch their offshore junk again.
This phone needs a good case like the Zizo Bolt or it will get damaged. These are heavy, hard hitting phones in a drop that wuv to corner hit and face plant. The case provides the primary protection. Something like the Gorilla IQ Sheild provides good scratch/mar protection, is inexpensive but doesn't feel like glass, obviously.
I've use both on my N10+'s for years; zero damage in spite of hard drops onto concrete.
I gave up on glass screen protectors and switched to quality TPU protectors.
Cheaper, better, easy to install. EGV Screen Protector

Yep...glass protectors are crap. They chip and break so easily. I use TPU and they're way better.

Using this since day 1 and it is still perfect.
There's also no hole/cutout on top like that piece of **** whitedome.
If his protector keep cracking at the exact set spot, chances are his case is the problem.
I am using the official Samsung leather case and there's zero issue, it fits like a glove with protector on.
i use whitestone for the last 7 months with a case that fit perfect and i have zero cracks. i am still on first glass. very satisfied.

Can you attache photos?
Are you sure that it's crack glass?
I use DomeGlass from Note 9>N20U>S22U and even perfect application usually after few months I see just like cracks in corner/corners/edges but it's fault glue under glass which look like this.
I don't know why is this happening.

Your glue was not cured properly, it happens when you don't give it enough UV or still have air on the edge.
It also happens when you have a case that's constantly pushing the edge.
All I'm saying is the Samsung official leather case works perfectly with the protector I have in pic, that's all
