I got my my confirmation on the mime sp, so it should be here around tuesday.

as for the uag part, i dont' know when mine will ever ship, but when it comes in i'll let you know.

I will let those who want to know about this SP and an otterbox defender as soon as my SP comes in.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brad.S.:
Man that video sucks.. To each their own, eh.

I thought I read somewhere that the keys aren't what scratch the display, but rather the key ring. Correct me if I'm wrong.

With his 10/10 confidence rating I thought I'd at least see a drop test with the "shorties iphone" + the tempered glass.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mmessina:
Great Product

I put the SP on a little crooked and it bothers me a little. Since I am waiting for my UA case I thought I would contact mime and get a replacement.

24 hours later I received a very nice letter and discount coupon to get the replacement.

I know that several of the SP offer replacements but not only is this the best SP I ever used I would have gladly paid the original price if I needed to.

Comes packed in black a little over done but cool nevertheless.

I will never go back over the rainbow or to plastic again.

Very Hppy.

:D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Daemos:
I did and the only pics are of the hodo sp not the mime.

Just fyi.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Driggity420:
Got mine today and it's awesome. Love the hand written note.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] busab:
Just placed the order for mine. Can't wait to get it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chuynh1109:
Alright I got mine in today, and wanted to report back

the screen protector is amazing! :good:

now, as for working with the Otterbox Defender.. it works for the most part. but since the edges of the SP are almost the same the case along the side and bottom, the case does pull up on the SP a little bit. So I decided to take off the case. hopefully there's a big enough gap between the edge of the SP and the UAG case once that comes in
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] busab:
I placed my order two hours ago and it has already shipped! Now THATS service!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] majorbgss:
Before I install this SP, is it better to install an aluminum button first or it doesnt matter?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xfaega:
Do you mean a body aluminum kit? If so I would install the body kit then make sure the SP fits correctly. Then install the SP and use the body kit as a guide.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] majorbgss:
Aluminum button. Like the one that u stick on the button.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] busab:
Just looking at the pictures, I would say that you could install it at anytime. It shouldn't matter.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mmessina:
Love mime 100% satisfied. I Just receuved my white UAG case and the two go together well.

Great protection front and back, almost as light as the Naked N2.

Bestest SP, Case and Phone. One happy camper:D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] majorbgss:
Did u get lift on the side? Mine does, around the button and on the right side(it is dead centered). I dont know if thats something that goes away eventually.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xfaega:
When you applied the SP did you apply pressure from the middle? If so that could be the problem. This is what I have found out after many trial and errors. Align the SP then from left or right side slowly lay the SP down. Now don't do anything. You will see the SP doing its job. You will see large air pockets and that is normal. Give it about 5 minutes. Also I forgot to add make sure the screen is oil free before applying the SP. Now with apply pressure on the spots that still has air bubbles to side not top or to the bottom. Do this until there's no sign of air bubbles. From here give the SP a day to work itself in. I hope this works for you.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] majorbgss:
Im gonna try this today. Also, how do u pry off the SP?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xfaega:
I used a suction cup that I get with all the parts used to fix Apple products. But when you do it go really slow and take your time. It will come off easy on its own. Don't use your nail as the glue comes all the way to the edge of the glass.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
I installed today and have air gaps along both side edges and at the bottom around the home button and all along the bottom edge. Will this settle down after a couple days or do I have to pull this up and re lay it?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] majorbgss:
Same here, did it three times already and still has gaps around the edges. One thing I know though that it doesnt go away over time. I had it almost two weeks now.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mr mystery:
Anyone else? That's 2 of you so far if this is common I'm going to look at another brand.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
If I'm not looking for it I don't really notice, but for a $30 sp that shouldn't even be possible for the edges not to stick perfectly.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mingkee:
I have exactly same problem as well.

Contacted MIME and sent pictures about the no-stick edges problem.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nkognegr0:
I have the Chinese version and so far so good all corners sticking fine and no Bubbles.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] majorbgss:
Do u mind sharing how you installed it?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] reissc1:
Same here too. All edges and corners are not stuck down. With that said, they aren't raised. You can just see a color difference along the edges. It is very small, maybe 1mm. It hasn't changed in 2 weeks either. So, it looks like it doesn't get any worse over time. It doesn't bother me at all, but I can definitely see how you should expect a $30 screen protector to work perfectly.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mingkee:
BTW, Does anybody buy this protector and how is it?

Let's wait until I received the protector and see what it is.

Other than that, I also bought iSmooth protectors (3 pack).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jack143:
The mime screen protector is the best I have ever used, I'm glad I found this post. It's just like the original screen. The edges is not all the way down but it is very miner and not noticeable, the benefits out way that miner concern. This screen protector don't have rainbows, it's very clear, no finger prints, or smearing. And your finger glide smoothly across the screen, spen works great with it too. I've used zagg and spigen in the past. One other thing I liked about the mime there wasn't alot of different varieties to choose from,and they made it very hi quality.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xfaega:
If you go to descriptions it clearly states it's reinforce glass 9H.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mingkee:
I think there should have a separate "tempered glass screen protector" thread because it's unique, tough, scratch-resistant, and VERY EXPENSIVE.

-----------UPDATE--------------

I got an email from MIMEUSA:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mr mystery:
Great customer service, I'm going to order one. Thanks for sharing.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Ghost_1:
I had my doubts but I had to replace my JLG protector and the MIME was my next choice. Really happy about the purchase. I have the nonstick edges like everyone else. Luckily my choice of bumper works perfectly with the MIME protector.

The handwritten note in the box and just the presentation alone made it awesome! Not the best pics but you can see my setup here:

Hi

I was the first to actually use the mime like protector, mine was the chinese version, and upto now i'm very happy with it, as someone futher up the post asked me, do I get lifting from the edge, well my protector doesn't lift up ,pretty good fit, but thers is a concern about other peoples problems about the bubble along the side, mine has something like that but you cannot see it unless you put the phone at a angle and against the light, but this is normal, unless the protector is made smaller you won't get that problem, this is due to the curve of the glass on the edge of the main screen,

I also don't get dust or anthing else sticking to the edge of the screen, and I have a very secure fit.

If people are worried about the edge problem I would suggest you select a PET screen protector, it's not a problem that can be sorted out unless they make the protector smaller, then people will start to say the protector are too small and won't cover near to the edges of the phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jack143:
The none stick edge is uniform all around the edge, except at the top of the phone, there it's completely down. I think it's the adhesive don't go completely to the edge. This isn't a issue for me cause the screen protector is hard and I don't see in the future it peeling up. The screen still should be well protected. The only problem I had, was I bought a seidio surface case which is a hard case, when I put it on it pulled up the screen protector up on the left top side. I removed the case and smooth the screen protector back down. Just ordered another case that should work with the screen protector.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kms108:
The adhesive is also along the edge, it's just the main screen that starts to curve slightly just where the edge of the protector is positioned.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mingkee:
I hope the stickiness can go all the way to the entire protector, or the dust will be collected in the air space and it will turn to other color over time.

This is my main concern.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] majorbgss:
Or liquid

I already bought a Gray OEM Flip Case from Samsung and should be here this week. I don't know if it going to work well with Mime Glass and Aluminum button. Hmm...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
Should be fine. I'd put the button on first but you should be fine either way.

Sent from my GIANT internet thingy.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheBDub:
I had a glass screen protector on with a SGP aluminum home button. Works fine with flip cover, so no need to worry about it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
After re-adjusting my Seidio case to not push on the edge of the MIME, it is sticking much better. Still not stuck around the sides and bottom but the protector itself is so slick I think I'm going to leave it as is!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] justinmcnairy:
Thank. I should go ahead and order both of them right away. Again, thank. I already cracked my original Note and it will not going to happen again with the Note 2 lol.

Gorilla Glass 2 with Mime Glass = Gorilla Glass 3 lol
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mmessina:
I also have gap around the edges. It is stable hardly noticable and I love the feel. Yes $30 is a lot to pay and if a better one exists that sticks purchase it. I am however satisfied and I still think it is the best sp I ever owned.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nkognegr0:
well my chinese tempered glass screen protector cracked on the first real fall...Now im rocking a zag screen protector no more tempered glass for me!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] parusia:
Well I prefer cracked tempered glass than my phone screen broken. Just saying.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] majorbgss:
I hope you know that its not supposed to protect ur screen from falls. Be happy that the SP Is the only one that is cracked because I dont think they were made to absorb impact.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ChodTheWacko:
Those of you who used glass screen protectors and dropped their phones - if the glass breaks, does it usually save the original glass? Or do both break?

I am thinking of swapping my seido active case for a glass screen protector. The case is too thick for wireless charging. :(
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ttabbal:
Those that have had one on for a while, can you comment on touch screen sensitivity? I had a tempered glass on my Galaxy Nexus, loved it, but after a while the edges of the touch screen just got crappy finger response. I'm not worried about the s-pen as it uses magnetics, rather than just capacitance and seems to have a longer range with the hover and such. I'm considering ordering one, but don't want to end up tossing another $30 SP. :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nkognegr0:
It was a pretty minor fall guess im to ruff for a tempered glass screen protector.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mingkee:
Got the replacement. It's a bit different on home button (closed), but it still has problem around the edge.

In addition, I got the "glass" film from Korea and I can tell it's plastic (can bend), but it's scratch-resistant.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mr mystery:
So you're saying the mime sp is now plastic?

Sent from my Note 2
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mingkee:
No, I received two different screen protectors.

MIME one is still glass, and another from Korea is plastic.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] premiatul:
There is absolutely no problem with sensitivity, I had mine for about 1 month now.

However, the sides and the bottom around the button do not stick very well.

I will e-mail them about that.

I will look into this glass protector, as it looks like it sticks all the way:

I finally got around to installing my Mime today. I did a horrible job with the install. I had to pry it up four times before I finally got it on correctly.

Since I had to pry it up so many times I managed to get some dust underneath it and I still have some bubbles under the screen. Hopefully they come out soon like the instructions say.

With that being said, I do really like this protector. It feels much better to the touch than the SGP crystal it replaced and also much clearer. I don't have any problems with sensitivity, not even on the edges.

Overall I'd say I'm very happy with it. I may actually order another now that I have a better ideal on how to install it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
I decided to remove the MIME. really wasn't too happy with the lack of sticking on the edges. Screw it, I'm gonna use cheap PET films from here on... I really just like the naked screen, but am too afraid to rock the birthday suit.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jbreeze228:
Was it really that bad? Do the edges along the entire glass not stick? Have any photos of it? I've been thinking about buying one of the mimes.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mingkee:
The one does not stick 100% and leave air space underneath around the edge and the button even the replacement has similar problem. Now I use this http://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e1140...tem=281065675760&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160

It's not really glass, but it does decent job of scratch resistant, and the fingerprint can be wiped out easily.

I don't know should I get another REAL glass protector from either Clarivue or Bodyguardz (if anybody has experience of using it, please reply with pictures), but I am waiting for iSmooth too even some users trashing about it can't achieve 100% surface coverage (I know this is impossible because the screen is curved down to edges).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
Well, it wasn't very nice. The top was stuck down well, the sides weren't stuck on the edges, but what bothered me most was the bottom and around the home button. That wasn't stuck and it would result in the SP not being down on the screen all the way. It just seemed like amateur hour. However... I've been in touch with their customer service and they are outstanding! They are gladly sending me a second replacement free of charge so I have high hopes for the second run. Bottom line is they are a standup company so I have no problem supporting them.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jbreeze228:
From what I've heard from just what you told me and others have said, they have great customer service. But I wonder if you will have the same results as the first screen protector. Which kind of makes me a little iffy about ordering one. Definitely let me know how the second one goes.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
I'll post feedback for sure :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DaBountyHunter:
The clarivue ones are pretty good. Mine isn't 100% perfect but after a clean application in a steamy shower room I got it down nice. It's essential you have no dust on the protector. Sounds obvious but you can get some that aren't visible until you have the screen on full brightness showing a white static image. That's the best way I've noticed to spot stray tiny specs.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chodie:
Today I also got my Mime SP. The presentation was amazing. Awesome box and packaging. Even a hand written note just to let me know how special I am.:victory:

I'm completely satisfied with the look and feel of this SP with the Otterbox Commuter. Too bad it doesn't adhere well to the area around the home button and bottom bezel.

Suppose I'll contact their Customer Service like the rest of you.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] busab:
So now that it's been 48 hours since I installed it all the bubbles have indeed went away.

The sides are still slightly raised and it's not sticking around the home button and below.

Honestly though, I don't think it's a big enough deal to warrant a replacement. The sides aren't any worse than my SGP crystal.

Overall, I love it. I don't think I could go back to a regular screen protector.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kms108:
As I have mention this before, anyone looking for a glass protector that has no gaps along the sides, need not bother unless the screen protector is made smaller and will not reach the sides.

These mime are the best you can get, the gap along the sides are due to the length of the glass protector that reaches just slightly where the phones screen starts to curve.

if you dont want to see the air gaps along the sides, get the glasszone or bulletproof brand that has the coloured boarders, but unlike this that has adhesive through out the whole screen, those others only have adhesive under the boarder, and have sensitivity issues.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] majorbgss:
They shoulda made em smaller then so the whole thing adheres really well to the screen. Thats just me.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kms108:
These manufacture can't meet everyone's need, have you read the other thread on glass screen protectors, does the glass reach the edge, people complain about everything.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheBDub:
I don't have any sensitivity issues with my bulletproof glass protector but the color is black with glitter, and there's not enough dots to prevent a rainbow effect.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jbreeze228:
Just ordered a Mime! Hopefully it will be here along with the Spigen home button by Friday or Saturday.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jbreeze228:
Is everybody that is having the lift issues cleaning the screen before applying the Mime? Like besides using the micro fiber cloth and the dust remover film is anybody using any alcohol wipes to clean the screen before the Mime is applied?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] busab:
I did. I cleaned it really well with alcohol wipes before I installed.

Most of my lifting is on the bottom below the back and menu button, also around the home button. The lifting I have on the sides is negligible.

Personally I don't fell that either is a deal breaker though.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jbreeze228:
Thank you for letting me no bud! I already ordered one so we'll see how it goes. Hope all the edges stick.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bt430:
Had this on for about a month now really happy with it. My only criticism would be its not great as far as fingerprints go but other than that it's outstanding.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
Odd- that was one thing I really liked about it. I think MIME is great for fingerprint resistance!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jbreeze228:
It definitely can't be more of a fingerprint magnet than the naked screen. That thing gets filthy. Oh and is anybody using this with the Otterbox Commuter? I'm having to temporarily use the Commuter because I sent my UAG case to be exchanged.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Subiegsr:
Can someone post pictures of their actual MIME protector installed?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kodath:
Here are a couple of pics of the Mime screen protector :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jbreeze228:
Very nice man! I wish there was a youtube video of the Mime for the Note 2. There's only one and it's from flossy (which is on Mime's website) but he doesn't even show how to install it and reviews it for only like 30 seconds.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] busab:
I think the easiest way to install it would be to hold it with a suction cup. Such as one from a gps mount in a car.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
I just grabbed it on the edges. Carefully lay down the bottom around the home button first and gradually work your way up top keeping the side to side alignment in mind. With my original MIME, I centered it flawlessly around the home button. This time I'm going to push the MIME up as high as I can on the display, we're probably only talking an extra 1/32" here. My reasoning is because the bottom has a lot harder time sticking than the top does, so maybe with it being slightly higher the display will be less curved and chances of a good "stick" are better? That's my thought process at least.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chodie:
Here ya go.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jbreeze228:
Really that long? I did the expedited shipping and the order was shipped two days later and it's coming in the mail today. So took me 5 days. The expedited shipping was only $3 more. And they didn't have any add on buttons that I saw. But I ordered the Spigen aluminum button off amazon for $10 and I love it. Check it out, it's worth the $10.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jbreeze228:
Alright so I got the Mime installed. I like it. I don't like how all the edges don't stick and a small portion of the top left corner doesn't adhere at all. Might be my fault on that part, had to reposition the screen protector. It's a tad bit grainy on solid white but it's not that bad. Overall I'm happy. I'll see if Mime will send me a new one for the corners not sticking. And it's pretty scratch resistant.. tried some keys on it lol.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xfaega:
I noticed on your sp that the bottom where the home button is not gapped but solid piece glass. Did you get your just recently from mime?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kodath:
Yeah I just received it 2 days ago.

Looks nice, just a bit expensive :rolleyes: going to give it a try ;)

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chrisc627:
Installed mine last night and had no problems aligning it but it's not sticking around the edges. So far it's the sides, bottom and around the home button. I applied a little heat today and it didn't really help. Anyone else having similar results?

Yep, mine is the exact same way.
