Screen Protector faint lines - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hi all together
Just got the note 9 and got the screen protector installed at the mobile shop. At home i saw two faint lines right and left of the screen protector. And it seems the glue does not touch the corners. It was a quality screen protector not a cheap one. The lines are not to visible, but still. Anyone made the same expirence? Will dust accumulate under the corners?
Thanx for any advice

Where are you the lines? There has to be an edge unless you get the Ringke which wraps around to the back of the phone. Unless the edges are lifted up and your case doesn't interfere it should be fine.

I had the two faint lines on left and right side when I used a tempered glass screen protector.

Was mainly noticeable as a hologram rainbow effect again very faint when a white image was displayed.

Same issue here. I thought I had a defective note 9 at first. I believe all the tempered glass protectors do that on this device.

Moshi Screen Protector Visor

Anybody ever try this?

I haven't tried it but it sounds very interesting. Be very careful when you choose a screen protector. I have had a Copter screen protector on my Note 2 now for 2 days and it looks like a dartboard. It's to soft for the. S-Pen stylus. Even before the damage caused by the S-Pen reading small text was impossible due to the structure of the plastic film. $20 down the drain.
Interesting find. I have moshi palm guard for my 17" mbp since day one and it's held up very well against my watch and tungsten bracelet.
interesting for sure.... I am waiting for Spigen to release there glass cover for the SN2. I am happy with there lines of things. I picked up the Valentinus however a bit leery since my cards and all touch the screen.

I tried it with my Note 1, and didn't like it at all. Although it did protect the screen and was definitely reusable, I always saw it and found it obscured the screen too much for me.
If you like the "anti-glare" versions of other screen protectors you will like it. There is only adhesive on the outer rim so it is impossible to get a bubble on the actual display. However like other anti-glare protectors it will reduce visibility.If you are used to the crystal clear protectors I would not recommend it.

I was wondering how it adhered to the screen, thanks for the info.
I really like going without a screen protector but I am thinking that it will add strength to the screen in case it drops or bends(sit on it)
Spigen said they aren't making it due to the curved glass.

I don't think it will give it any more strength. The protector itself is not that rigid.

complete screen protector film?

Do they make a screen protector for our Gnote 2 with only the speaker and home button cut out? Here is an example similar to what I am talking about.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180898901835?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I don't think they make any because the Note (and S3 I believe) have tapered glass on the sides, which means a protector would immediately lift on the edges.
normally they dont because occasionally, on non-perfect applications, its possible to get dust trapped underneath the screen protector where the front camera and ambient sensors/proximity sensors are, which can interfere with the way they work.

But I bought one for my epic 4g touch n sensor work flawlessly.
I bought this one. I just installed it today. It has the hole for the home button, speaker, and camera. The sensors are covered. I like it because it protects the whole screen. Its a wet application if that matters to you.

Xtremeguard I believe has a protector that only has cutouts like you're looking for. I briefly had it on my phone, so can't 100% remember. Keep in mind though that any protector that goes right to the edge of the screen is going to suck with the s pen.

Thanks for the reply but I check on ebay and xtremeguard has cut out just like others but it does cover more area. I'm looking for a full screen
cover with only speaker and home button cut out.
I got mine from ishield. The wet application scared me but my phone was fine. It's really for sgn2. There's even a plastic sheet for the back with the cam and Flash holes.
Oh snap! I don't have a witty tapatalk signature!
Can either of you do a thorough review here? Give us an Idea of how it feels and fits.

Zagg curved screen protector has a line going down the screeen

So I just got the Zagg screen protector yesterday from best buy. looks really good and fits really well with the defender Otterbox case. one thing i noticed later on when watching videos is where the screen curves near the edge there is a line that runs down the side right in the middle if the curve on both sides. Not a super big problem but once i noticed it, kinda is annoying. when doing everyday things you wont see it but when in landscape and the screen is a bright color it will stand out. Anyone else have this screen protector and can verify if theirs has the same problem? ill try and get a picture when i can get hold of another phone.
Can you at least post a picture? This is too long to read.

I contacted zagg and they said it's adhesive on the curved part on the screen and that's what's making that line. As I said in my post when I can I will post a picture.
I think all curved protectors have that line on the very edges. Its the adhesive ( since no glass protectors are full adhesive coverage ). My Zizo Bolt screen protector does the same. Still looks/ feels great even with the faint line and I wouldn't dare run without a protector lol
And it's hard to post a pic because the line is so faint.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
Ya not a big deal. Just thought the line was odd. So far loving everything about this phone.
And that's why they usually paint the edges black.
On another note it maybe more prevalent on the zaggs because they use a stronger adhesive and it's slightly thicker
Well what is nice is that there is no Halo effect on the screen protector like there was on the note 5. That was terrible and collected so much crap in it.
Yup no halo. I'm not using the zagg but I'm sure the zizo tgsp is of equal quality. Thank god they didn't do black edges!

How do you like your Zizo Bolt case, the screen protector and the holster so far?
I am considering ordering it, but not sure about the glass. Is the adhesive on all 4 sides or just the top and bottom?
Thx

The adhesive is on all 4 sides. The way they designed it to cut around the earpiece and cameras, it's completely sealed against dirt which is awesome. I've used the bolt case on a few phones and love them. They hold up well against drops.

I got the zagg glass for my note 8 I guess it will work but wish there was a better option, screen just doesn't look as good as other glass screen protectors. I think I would even be happier with one that just ended before the curve and be really thin ... I wish i looked at the forums a bit more for the price the whitestone is looking like a better option the more i look at the phone , such a great looking screen before the zagg got put on, the full glued on ones look so much better with not fuzzy lines on each side. I wonder if i got the LOCA glue and used with the zagg would make it look better then it does now. ugh hate wasting money .... dam you Samsung and your curved edges lol
I'm really liking the Zagg Glass Curve. Extremely easy install; Case friendly; No screen sensitivity issues at all. Looks great!
The Zagg Curve has been improved immensely over what they provided for the S*+. Thicker, nor more loose edges with dust getting under the screen. I have just one complaint.
The dot matrix drives me nuts outdoors, when the phone is off and if the screen isn't up bright enough to make it disappear.
yeah ive used it for two days outside so far and the dot matrix is driving me nuts , also the little gap makes a huge glare and takes away from clarity when out side

Whitestone dome glass is better, it's a pain in the rear to install but it offers full adhesive layer instead of just the top and sides without the dot matrix of the zagg.

Scratch or dust

I might be nitpicking here. But I have screen protector in my note 8. I woke up this morning with a black line.
Is this black line a dust or a Scratch?
Here it is

That looks like a piece of dust/lint under your screen protector.
What sort of screen protection is it? Tempered Glass?

Tempered glass yes. I Can live with it if It's not on actual screen. I am new to edgw screen so excuse me for being paranoid. So it's not an actual Scratch?

It does not look like a scratch to me.
Scratches usually tend to show as a multicoloured line due to the LED below the display glass, that is a Black line that looks like a bit of lint / dust that got under the screen protector, possibly during application or slipped into a part that is not totally sealed around the protector.

Best Tempered Glass - Hands Down -

I have purchased many so called "perfect" Tempered Glass Screen Protectors for the Mi Mix 2/2s and threw most of them away for poor adhesive, halo and rainbow affect, and visibility issues. I finally ordered the NILLKIN CP+ Anti-Explosion Glass Screen Protector for Xiaomi Mi Mix 2/2S from OppoMart https://www.oppomart.com/xiaomi/mi-...-screen-protector-for-xiaomi-mi-mix-2-2s.html
Black border, no thanks.

the border is a guide and ensure it is case friendly - but to each their own and halo
No Halo effect (like the black bordered screen protector that I had for my old Mi Mix) with these 5D black border screen protector for my Mi Mix 2s
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hat...025.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.38294c4dX7C8zr
It is like a non black bordered screen protector, and not at all like the one I had that was a black bordered screen protector for the Mi Mix.
The Halo effect is caused by the adhesive pad that is used around the black border part of the screen protector, and as such, the screen protector floats over the phone's screen, creating the halo or rainbow effect.
The black border screen protector I received this week does not have this adhesive on the underside of the black border, and as such, the entire underneath surface of the screen protector sits in direct contact with the phone screen and hence does not hover or float on the phones screen. This type of installation is like any other screen protector that just bonds to the phone's screen, thereby eliminating the halo effect.
MUCH easier to align than an undersized non black bordered screen protector.
Cheers,
LormaD

Had this one. The adhesion is very nice, however the camera and sensor cutouts on the bottom chin have no adhesive on the glass and have the tendency to collect a lot of dust from eg. having the phone in my pocket. Had to tear it off, because my front camera became very foggy and not sharp from all this dust
Lol 5d. What does that even mean, I get 3d signifies it curves. Time to release a 6d superior screen protector

It's called "amazing h+ pro", but I haven't tested it.
Just ordered a cheap one from ebay for 4€ and it's bad as expected.
So the nillkin is not good at all? My mi5 nillkin screen protector was awesome!
So which one should I buy?
i use this one and i am very satisfied... it's fit perfectly

Nillkin have the black border version too, named CP+
based on some user feedback, i believe it using hybrid materials, which screen area is still glass but black border is plastic like material, bendable

Any way you could picture it on the phone?
This one came in from Aliexpress Friday and it fits perfectly.
https://goo.gl/oaycHM
It's has full screen adhesive and there is a very thin black border, wasn't hard to line up, but that border has a lot thicker adhesive on it so its stuck to the curved edges of the glass really good.
Couldn't beat it for the price.
