So, what, were you me yesterday? I did exactly the same thing except I did not break the screen protector. The corner I kept pulling back up with my fingernail folded the adhesive over onto it's self and now it won't sit flat so one corner is more "Haloed" than the rest of the thing. Next time...

I have got a Liguid Glass coming. Figure to give that a try. iloome has been saying their original efforts were a failure for several weeks now. I am not sure that email was approved by the iloome marketing department. Either it was not or they are asleep at the switch. I would not have worded anything that way. If iloome were actually to think the N4 edge is "ridiculously steep" what will they think of the Edge....impossibly steep I would imagine.
Anyway, if they fail at least IMO Corning Glass will be the only group left with a shot at this that might get it done unless somebody comes out of the woodwork.
At any rate, my concern is that if the screen protector ends in one place and the case ends in another, you will create a natural troth between them were all sorts of garbage will land (good luck during that trip to the beach....sand). Stuff will land there, mix with moisture from the air, harden and start to dig at the glass in that spot pushed down farther by the two edges (case and protector) that don't overlap. Even the few manufactures that make both cases and screens are not designing them in tandem, to work with each other.
I do think it unfortunate that most of the reviews we get that we would trust are somewhat unprofessional in nature and those that might rise above that are biased. Manufacturers in general should be doing a better job of representing their products to this market segment especially when you consider its size. Their marketing efforts are often juvenile and completely unhelpful to people trying to make a decision. My God if a case manufacturer ever released dims for his product the world would come to an end apparently.

I figure since none of the screen protectors fit properly that liquid was the best way to go. I haven't had any problems and it doesn't attract fingerprints for me and it's very resistant to liquid. A few drops of water got on my screen and I could tell it was "resisting" lol

I found out that the Note 4 has Gorilla Glass 3, but I can't find anything definitive that lists what the hardness rating is of that glass. I've sent Corning an email asking them what the hardness rating is, but haven't heard yet. I'll post the results once I know it.
On the Mohs scale of hardness, Gorilla Glass scores a 6.8, which puts it just below a mineral like Quartz. Sapphire is the second hardest naturally occurring material on the planet, behind diamond. and scores 9 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. This test matches one substance's ability to scratch another - and so is a better indicator of scratch resistance than shatter resistance.
“Chemically strengthened glass can be excellent, but sapphire is better in terms of hardness, strength, and toughness,” said Matthew Hall, Director of the Center for Advanced Ceramic Technology at the Kazuo Inamori School of Engineering at Alfred University, quoted in Tech Crunch. “The fracture toughness of sapphire should be around 4 times greater than Gorilla Glass – about 3 MPa-m0.5 versus 0.7 MPa-m0.5, respectively.”
Before anyone says this is original gorilla glass - it is gorilla glass 3 the review was done in april 2014

I tried the Spigen, it was quite good. I wouldn't even have bothered searching for another had I not broken it.

That's a good point. I ordered about 10 days back, and it arrived yesterday. I'm not sure which version it supposedly is, but the timing would suggest so
I ordered this one from eBay. While I agree it probably does not fit the edges properly (it claims to), it was only $6. I don't have huge hopes but we shall see!

The iloome Flex is probably a pretty good solution at this point. We won't be able to see what the Corning guys have some up with till I think mid-December. Plus this gives iloome more time to work the issues. But I like iloome...they are a good company, pretty clever people always working the issues.

So the glass that covers bar code scanners in the stores is made out of man made sapphire, or better known as corundum.
Times like this I wished I worked for Ball Aerospace, not far from where I live now. I would go and put my bunny suit on, head to the lab and make me a curves sapphire screen protector, during my lunch break of course.
Until that day I will simply have to work Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
