Best Galaxy Note 4 Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Since we're obsessing on little things about tempered glass protectors just now, can I raise an issue that's been discussed before among this group of obvious enthusiasts for tempered glass? The one thing that always concerned me was when the tempered glass shatters, do shards of glass wind up cutting the underlying actual screen? In previous threads, it's been suggested "no," and they're designed not to shatter that way.

I suppose I've been convinced by the PR, but any actual experiences? I will say the one I shattered accidentally while bending it the other day shattered, stayed together, however, and had 0 effect on the actual phone screen. So, that's good news. But the concept seems counterintuitive.
 
Maybe it's the top layer that has the hardness of 9, but elsewhere like edges of breaks are not so hard as to scratch the screen?

The Spigen on my wife's S5 cracked and the screen underneath was perfect! It did it's job.

Wondering how much of the total N4 people using LiguidGlass have covered with the material. The LiquidGlass PR that they send out when you order suggests covering the entire N4 or any other mobile device you purchase it for while avoiding ports and the like. I am sensing most people using it are "case" people and intend having a case around the rest of the phone anyway. So are most just using it as a means to protect the screen ala' the front surface or have folks been covering the whole N4 with it?
 
I tried various combos with my s2 armoured/waterproof case/tempered glass but in the end had a samsung extended battery back and a plastic screen protector. They did the job fine against drops, keys and even a rock inadvertently placed in my pocket!!!!

However just because of the huge size of the note 4's screen I will be getting a tempered glass protector, and an armoured case, I think all that glass is going to take a hit in my daily use, no matter what I do to stop that happening, I see a lot of people walking around with naked phones and shattered screens.......:-\
 
I ordered the Spigen glass screen protector over a month ago from Amazon. I finally got a notice it is ready to ship. Is this going to be the one that doesn't fit correctly? I can't find the product on Amazon or on Spigen's site. The description does say "Rounded Edge with Chip Res." Any news if they are reworking their glass or maybe already have? I hate to cancel the order because it is tied to my 2 cases I ordered from Spigen also.
 
I tried the YooTech panel from Amazon. At $6, it seemed like a steal. It fit pretty well, and covered most of the screen, but the outer 3mm of every side doesn't adhere due to the Note's screen curvature.

Does it have a halo?

I use memi ghost glass and one day with my note 2 I dropped it face down on concrete. Looked like the screen was shattered but when I peeled off the temperd glass the screen was intact. The temperd glass is made with a layer in the middle that keeps it all together,, no pieces go anywhere, no Sharpe pieces sticking out anywhere.

Good story---both in validating the screen protector and why it's a good idea to have one. :)
 
A friend of mine dropped his S5 and it wound up landing face down in gravel. The tempered glass protector broke badly. When removed, not a scratch on the glass. Replaced the screen protector and good as new!
 
According to a poster on the xda forums the only two tempered glass protectors that don't leave a halo are the no longer available Spigen and the Supersheildz. Has anybody tried the Supersheildz?
 
I hope we have a nice tempered glass one soon! I had the spigen until I tried to readjust to lessen the halo and ended up breaking it. :( I guess I'll order some supersheilds until a good glass one is released.

I was going to return it, but I decided to try installing the Spigen tempered glass protector that I've had sitting around for about 3 weeks now. I got my N4 yesterday, and put the screen protector on last night. It went on perfectly the first time, and I have no issues with it. No, it doesn't cover the entire front glass, but it does exactly cover the viewing screen. I don't notice anything objectionable (halo?). I can say that I'm happy with it.
 
Wish I saw this thread before I dropped $40 on the Zagg glass. What a waste of money and i don't recommend to anyone. Ordered the regular samsung protectors from ac for now. Maybe ill try again with glass in a month or two

@smileycon that looks good but just saw the shipping time on amazon; 17-28 days lol
