I was leaning toward the SGP, but after doing some Google research I came across this company. People said they were happy with the product, but more importantly, their customer service is outstanding.
Last night I bit the bullet and ordered mine. I'll update this thread when it comes in next week, but the reason I wanted to post something now was because I've already experienced some of that great customer service.
So after I placed my order last night around 11:30pm eastern (same time zone they're in), I noticed a typo in my shipping address. I used their "contact us" form on the website to mail the correction, would you believe it, they sent me back a response 10 minutes later. They're a small company, and their desire to stand out shows.
Anyway, here's the link to the protector: http://mimeusa.com/product/galaxy-s4-ghost-glass-tempered-glass-screen-protector/
Also, they sell what appear to be the same aluminum, black, and white home buttons that you can get at SGP. The difference being MIME sells them for $2.50 (or $1 if you buy a protector) with free shipping. http://mimeusa.com/product/aluminum-home-button-for-galaxy-s4/
Lastly, here's a review I found: http://www.runaroundtech.com/2013/01/12/mime-hdt-c-glass-screen-protector-for-iphone-5-review/
I already received a tracking number this morning (they use USPS, so I guess they can ship on Saturdays). I'll post an update when the protector arrives!
------------------------------------------
UPDATE:
The protector has arrived and it seems pretty good. They even included a little note in the box, which was a nice personalized touch.
It doesn't add as much weight as I expected, and the cutouts are ample enough to not block any sensors. Now in my case, I did apply it just a little bit too high and it makes the bottom 1/10th of the front camera a little blurry, but it's not really noticeable. That's my fault. Don't make the same mistake I did.
You can see in the close-ups that it's just a tiny bit narrower than the screen itself, so you should be able to use a case without any issues.
It's 0.32mm thick and has rounded edges, so it's thinner than the SGP GLAS.tR, $7 cheaper, and is backed by much better customer service.
I'm pleased with it, and it's staying on my phone permanently. Recommended! :good:
We already seem to have a MIME Rep among us, helping members out! - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2264207
I'll wait for your thoughts on it! I want to decide between MIME and Spigen Glas.tr
MIME is the better quality imo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have many app ideas, but don't have the skill or the time to learn how to make an app. if you would like to know an idea and attempt to make one, just message me.
It's arrived! Mini review added to OP.
is that sticky note, hand-written or is it printed ?
Its hand written, nice addition on creating a personal touch.
was going to get the spigen, but ill give the MIME a shot :good:
**edit
just ordered + aluminum button
How's the sensitivity? I had a glass protector on my S3 from a different company but the sensitivity issues were so bad I had to take it off.

Well as the S4 has a highly sensitive touchscreen and it works with gloves on there no issues with touchsensitivety....

Not satisfied with SPIGEN SGP GLAS.tR...
So I had some issues with the spigen glass protector. Luckily, Amazon is going to process my return and I can get a refund for that $35 I spent. I'm going to order me one of these bad boys from MIME ASAP. Thanks for the review
Great topic.
is there a big difference using these expensive screens instead cheap ones from china ?

True, not sure if glass has any effect on it though.
Does this have the silicone adhesive around just the edge or the entire screen? That was the issue with many s3 glass screens.
They only had adhesive around the edge because of the semi curved displayed, pockets of air would get under the glass and reduce sensitivity.
What is in the second picture?
Does it come with 2?
It has adhesive all around. The box includes a full screen size sticker for you to put on and take off to remove any dust immediately before applying the protector. (I had a friend use a can of compressed air on the phone while I put the protector on.)
If your glass protector ever needs replacing, the box also includes a plastic screen protector, so you don't have to go without any protection while you wait to receive the replacement.

after reading this review and checking out what the competition has to offer so far just ordered. The price is on par with others and most important is their customer service with their warranty/replacement program.

Hi, this is a review of the amCase Hybrid Bumper Case And amFilm Screen Protector Premium HD Clear.
I received them this week, i like the back transparency, because it lets the original S5 design show, the case has a nice fit and lets very good space to access all ports, also it feels good to the touch and has a nice grip, since the back is solid, also this make it feel like a more expensive product.

The screen protector is also very good quality, i didn't used on my phone because i already had one installed, but a friend installed it on his phone and liked it a lot, since it resist scratches and is clearer a lot more than the previous screen protectors he has used.

I didnt like the case because of its back. It kept giving me goosebumps....its a weird material
I'm thinking about trying this case and wondered how it fits. Also, how is the installation?
Any more info on the Screen Protector?
Recently bought another brand off Ebay and was wondering if the amFilm brand you mention is any better? The ones I got were really hard to align and just did not seem to go down right. This caused the edges of the protector not be sealed down tightly and I constantly get air bubbles in the sides and near the home button. I even payed extra for fast shipping so it was kind of expensive. The ones your talking about are cheaper and get good reviews so I am considering trying them. Did your friend happen to mention how the protectors fit? Or if he has had any problems with air bubbles?

Hi everyone,
So basically the title says it all, anyone know or seen any black friday Note 4 accessories deals?
I've basically waited forever (over a month) waiting for Samsung's official battery charging kit + protective case to come back in stock but it didn't happen. And I refuse to have my phone in naked no-case mode any longer since I fear I may drop it someday eventually. Also it's Black Friday.
Basically all I want is a nice case for a nice price THAT DOESN'T SCRATCH THE BEZEL METAL AREA (I had Spigen Ultra Capsule and returned it immediately after all those terrible reviews of scratches with pictures) AND FITS ON VERZION MODEL MIC SLOT (which is another big issues for Verizon model holders like me).
So any advice/suggestion/help? And aside from case, any other good accessories deal?

It's not the case that scratches, it's whatever gets caught in between the case and your phone that scratches the bare metal. Blame Samsung for their choice of materials. Doesn't matter if the case is silicone, TPU or polycarbonate. None of them will be scratch proof.

That's the point for MOST CASES but not Spigen Ultra Capsule. The material itself scratches the bezel metal. Other cases will do less. I'm just looking for recommendations for cases for Verizon model that won't naturally scratch from case material until something does get caught in between, and if there happens to be a sale on it, triple bonus points.

I Have had this case on since it first came out: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NP3K8Y2?ref_=pe_1196280_123950170
And haven't had one scratch as of yet!
I have been using the Ringke Slim on my Note4 and have not seen any scratches on my bezel. I remove the cover often to remove the batteries
I pull it off from the top by slightly pushing the heart rate sensor and it comes out easily
I'm using the Tech21 and it has not scratched mine at all. I have taken it off and on many times and no blemishes whatsoever.
The Black Friday deals that was and still is, XtremeGuardz providing 90% off their Military-Graded Screen Protectors and Full Body Skins (Includes Spartan Tempered Glass as well) with free shipping. This was for the Note 4. Also, MacMall was selling the Zagg Tempered Glass for the Note 4 ($20) and Zagg HDX ($15) for the Note 4.

I would think the fact that MacMall is out of stock means you'd get the revised Zagg screen protector when they're back in stock. On the tempered glass screen protectors thread a forum member posted that they'd just received a revised glass Zagg Invisableshield and are waiting for their phone next week to apply it & post pictures. Oddly on the pictures of the packaging he posted Zagg doesn't state the hardness # but on their website they state 9.
Haha, I'm the forum member that made the Revised Zagg post. I'll be getting my device next week.
I believe the Zagg website has not updated the packaging on their site. The BOGO offer on Zagg is pretty legit, considering that if anything goes wrong with the order, Customer Service will be more than happy to send replacements free of charge without requiring further action on your end. MacMall is great, but the wait may be long as Zagg has dozens of orders to fulfill, including those from the last several weeks.

I'm very tempted to order the Zagg from MacMall for $20 even if it does take longer considering Zagg is charging $34.95. I'd really like to see pictures of the revised edition installed as I don't want to have to send back another protector because it doesn't fit properly or has a halo. Maybe you'll be able to post pictures of yours before MacMall's sale ends on Monday.
Hopefully, I'll be able to post pictures Monday evening, as long as the Brand New device I receive is in the condition I expect it to be.

I honestly agree with what you're saying. These cases are still Made in China at the end of the day. You can purchase non-branded Otterbox cases (with similar function, design, quality, and integrity) for a lot cheap. The only downside is no warranty and long shipping times. In today's economy, every dollar counts.

The 25% Coupon is great for the Defender. Thanks!
I also have the spigen tough armor case and went back to my Otterbox. Reason being is that all the ports are covered and has nice grip. I know most will say their over priced, but somethings you get what you pay for IMO .
So I'm under the impression that the glass panel that covers the LCD is not made of gorilla glass, meaning it would (in theory) scratch relatively easily. This almost certainly necessitates a screen protector, then.
However, I'm only able to find tempered glass protectors (which would be a great added bit of protection) atm, and I hate them because of the dreaded "halo effect" that totally defeats the purpose of the bezel-less display. I've been a fan of the "helicopter-polymer" screen protectors, as once they're stuck, they're stuck; however, I'm unable to find any of those.
I snagged some of the cheapo "transparent-film" protectors (only redeeming part is they give you like 6 in a pack), hoping that I'll be able to get those to stick all the way down around the edges.
Anybody found a screen protector they like?
watch the youtube video where the scratch test is performed. it is near impossible to scratch the screen. i can't see any reason to use a screen protector on this phone given that the scratch test performed as well or better than any other flagship device

Hardness test proved the ceramic is an 8, and the glass screen is a 6 (supposedly on par with most other flagship devices, even though there's supposedly no gorilla glass. I've been using it as my every day for about 2 weeks now, and the screen is pristine. I would like a film protector, but if it interferes with the otherwise gorgeous display, I may just run naked.
The case on the other hand is, in my opinion an absolute must. I like the one that came with it, and it seems like it would be pretty protective. I have no intention of accidentally dropping my cherished device (nor testing to see, even though it's insured), but it seems like minor drops might actually be handled quite well by the OEM case.

I just installed this Screen protector and I have to admit that it fits very nicely. No air Bubbles or anything.
Unfortuanely, i can confirm the amazon Reviews, that the Touch responsveness is pretty bad

Thanks. Looks like it'll be a return to amazon then. Maybe I'll go back to film instead of glass. I saw one on ebay for $3.
does it fit even w/ the case on?
Hey, I have been looking for a screen protector for hours and it seems like all of them don't even manage to completely cover the display. I can understand not completely covering all the curve, but at least the actual display should be covered right? Anyone have good cheap protectors they have found that cover the display completely? Also for cases, how much protection do you think I need. I have an LG G3 with a hybrid silicone inner and hard plastic outer case right now. I hate the fact that it's a brick, so I want a lighter case like maybe a clear TPU case, but is that enough protection. I drop my phone often. However now that I think about it, the hard plastic doesn't really offer protection, the silicone is what is hitting things, so maybe TPU is fine. Can I just have some thoughts to reassure me so I can buy the TPU clear case and be done with worrying?
If you do drop your phone often and can't afford to buy another phone on the spot if it breaks I would suggest a more protective case. The one I recommend that isn't too big is the speck presidio grip case. also due to the rubber grips it is comfortable to hold like tpu cases. My phone dropped several feet onto the cement in a parking lot a few years back (my first and last major drop thank goodness), the case was scuffed up but my phone was safe so I always trusted them and bought one for each new upgrade. Amazon usually sells them cheaper than the official speck store. If you decide to stick with the clear tpu case just know your protection will be a gamble on drops, it's all what works best for you.
as for screen protectors, you may find a case that you like that wont allow for full coverage screen protectors. im currently using a glass protector that just covers the display portion of the screen. once i finally settle on a case i like ill see if i can fit a full coverage one. one issue with the full ones is they can kill touch sensitivity, so that has to be watched out for too.
I've bought a couple screen protectors.
1. Pulen contained glass that was nowhere close to fitting my Pixel 3a (maybe it was for the Pixel 3a XL and just mislabelled?). I returned it.
2. Katian is what I'm using now. It's by no means perfect but it's a good "cheapo one that works until a good one is discovered" solution and I highly recommend it for that. I fully expect it to develop a rainbow effect fairly soon and the black part covers just a tad bit of the screen (more than it should - I understand there's a delicate balancing act here), but it's not bad. It does cover all of the usable screen and then some yet works with the two cases that I currently have. It seems like it would be case friendly with all but the most extreme of cases - it's about perfect on that front (in my opinion). Note that I've only used it for an hour or so, so this is still a fresh take.
I hope this helps somebody until we finally get an actual good screen protector!
I got uniqueme glass protector . 3 pack for $10. Just covers the visible part of screen.
and slinco case for $9
From amazon.
They are both adequate for the job
I just got THIS ONE in a pinch...
It fits nicely. Goes on easily and doesn't feel like it will pop out or anything. Offsets the glass and camera enough for me to use it until better options come out. It's TPU but harder than most. A decent first unit I'd say.
And my 9 month old nephew was fast enough to grab it and throw it across the room yesterday...
It protected!
I don't have the 3a yet but will be ordering it tonight. I've always used Spigen cases on my phone's since I've had the Nexus 6 and currently use it on my Moto Z2F. These cases are tough as nails. I'll probably get one for my 3a when I buy it. They have different styles to choose from. I recommend you look into them. Each one of my phone's has always come out the case in mint condition. I could throw my phone half way across the room and it would still be safe.
I also recommend the Spigen cases. Had them one my op3, op6 and now on the pixel 3a and they are just perfect.

Can you recommend a screen protector that fits with Spigen case?

I bought this exact one but in blue. I also got a Spigen rugged armor case, however I switched back to this one because it feels a little bit more protective

Sorry, brand name is Supershieldz. I used it on my last phone. It doesn't provide full screen coverage, only visible.

The case I bought that I'm using right now is this:

And the Spigen I bought is this:

I like Spigen, but as I said, the other one felt a little more rugged without being too bulky. It also seems to be a bit more grippy. The Spigen is smooth in places unlike the Spigen I got last time for my last phone (Mate 9)
Finally found some good screen protectors. Clarity is where it should be and fitment is as good as it can be considering the price.
Needed to firmly press all over the screen to get any little bubbles out, but now it's perfect.
Coverage is from the forehead to base of the chin.

I see a lot of people reviewing that product saying that it's too narrow.

It covers the screen itself, maybe not the entire front face, but that's all I care about. Plus, with a case, the 3mm on either side won't get scratched.

Just pointing that out. The screen protectors I use are sort of the same way but I'm okay with it

the Supershieldz tempered glass linked above is what I got for my dads Pixel 3a. Applied fine, no bubbles and coverage seems as good as it's gonna get without getting one of the protectors that tries to curve at the edges. Thinking I might get the same for my 3a now... haven't seen anything better out there yet.

So had my first drop onto concrete tonight with the Supershieldz glass protector in the bulkier case. Drop from about 3 and 1/2 ft onto a hard concrete surface and it wasn't just drop speed it got kind of forced down out of my hand no cracks all was well. To say I was holding my breath as I picked it up would be an understatement.
