> So for me, the split shade that iOS does where swiping down on the top right edge of the screen shows only your quick toggles is preferable.

Just FYI, on Samsung Android Devices this is implemented as you describe.

Useless info: I think the feature was first implemented on Android 3 (Honeycomb) but then abandoned again on Android 4 (ICS)

One UI borrows a number of things from iOS so I’m not surprised. It really should be an option in base AOSP (and thus most Android installs) though.
