Are you guys worried about the gap?? - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are you guys worried about your note 4 having a gap? after hearing about the first phones over seas having a gap between the screen and the metal frame. don't know what to think of it, I wanna get the note on the 17th, but am afraid to pre order the note just because I don't want to open my brand new phone to a gap..

Nope.

I'm not worried at all about it. I've had at least one spot, in every phone I've owned, that had a gap in it somewhere. If this is what it takes to bond metal to glass, I'm all for it. It actually states the gap is there in the manual, so it's a design feature. Check out this video about the gap.

If the glass was right up against the metal, the slightest drop would cause the screen to spider crack. The plastic had a little absorption abilities but metal will transfer any vibration directly to the glass...so you should be happy it is there...it shows they were thinking.

Had a pair of note 2's in the family for a couple of years they've worked fine all this time. They both had a gap that you could barely fit a sticky note in. Not really a problem.

Gelaskins review

Review for "Gelaskins Enamored Owl Samsung Galaxy S III "
Hellur everyone, as you can see the gelaskin is pretty much a sticker that goes onto the body of your phone, be aware that with the gelaskins you dont get a screen protector so youll have to custom cut your own.
It took me at least 45 minutes to put this on, i dont have any fingernails so it was rough to apply it to the phone correctly
But all in all it smooths out easily and looks freaking awesome. Gives your phone a unique look and feeling.
I would rate this higher than any other phone skin, gelaskins customer service is also pretty reliable and awesome. Great place to get a phone or tablet skin.

I've always wondered about these. How do you view your content/screen through this? All I see is the design. Doesn't that get annoying?

The design is just a wallpaper matching the skin. Nothing is covering the display.
The skin is 3 parts:
The back skin
The front-top skin covering the earphone
The front-bottom skin covering the softkeys/home button
That's correct. Gelaskins let's you download the matching wallpaper with the phone skin. Pretty awesome, make sure you pick a design you wont get sick of.

Replacement bezel came without screw holes

So i have had a nightmare replacing this screen... the first one i ordered, the cabel wouldnt reach from the digitizer to the mainboard so i couldnt connect it, so i sent it back and got a refund, and now my second one is missing the little brass pieces that hold ALL the screws in place. I do still have the original bezel with the pieces but i have absolutely no idea how to get them out.
Any ideas/suggestions? I considered superguleing them in place but that is kinda a last resort
Thanks
No ideas guys? Really? Here are some pics of what I mean

Did the first one have the same problem?

They're probably glued in, so I would think it would be possible to remove them. It seems weird though that it wouldn't come with the screw holes. I would have thought that it would. If it's not too much trouble I'd move them to the new bezel, otherwise I'd get a refund and buy from a different place.

Check out http://www.globaldirectparts.com/HTC-Droid-Incredible-Replacement-Repair-Parts-s/6283.htm or http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-incredible-droid-replacement-screens.html
They both have a pretty good selection. I'd check to make sure the pics have the screw holes in them before you buy them. Amazon has a really good return policy, but I don't know about either of these as I've never bought from either.

Type cover

I recently purchased a Bluetooth keyboard that also functions as a cover for the Note. Keys are on a lower level so the screen doesn't come in contact with them. Tactile feel is a bit snap more than click.

It isn't bad by any stretch but I'd be willing to pay a little extra for a model that clamped on to the Note a little more securely. Carrying it around by hand is fine, but if I'd put it in a backpack I'd worry that they'd separate. Perhaps some real world testing is required, but I'm chicken.

I've charged it once only. It is rated for 150 hours of usage so probably be another two weeks before it needs to be charged again.

I have seen a video review on it and they talked about that same issue, I would not trust it from what I saw in the video.

Wish I had seen that before the purchase, but I'd probably bought it anyway. To me it i a complimentary keyboard, my main is a MS Bluetooth Keboard 6000.

I have this keyboard and use it quite a lot. Battery life is good and I do just toss it into my bag and go. I've had it about 4 months with no problems.

For me the white one is more attractive and would go better with my white 8013.
The price is very good and makes me want to order one but I'm going to pass on this accessory.
For now.

is it possible to use a case while using the keyboard?
also is it possible to have a case on when its clamped with the tab?

I think he's talking about the black one? It's the same guy that's complaining about these on every thread about spigen. The black one does scratch the phone on the corners.

Confirmed. The black one scratched 3 of my corners unfortunately. My Neo Hybrid however is fantastic.
