Very intereseting product indeed!

I'm definitely thinking of going ahead and buying one, but I'm also super interested in getting the Otterbox Defender cover/case for the series. Well either that or the extended battery that come out by Lemon something guys. The phone would be an actual tank with all of it....

Anybody knows if these would work with the Otterbox Defender cases?

I'm most definitely going to go ahead and purchase the glass case, I'm just a little unsure about the Defender case or the extended battery...

Just saw this...

http://www.amazon.com/Senseglas-Pre...or-Samsung/dp/B00CL2E984/ref=pd_sim_sbs_cps_1

$22.88 + free shipping with amazon prime

0.26mm tempered glass base, 0.4mm screen protector and 9H for extreme scratch resistance aaand this one has oleophobic coating as well...:good::good:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Just like all screen protector they have adhesive on one side to attach to the screen. But these are easier to apply than regular screen protectors because they don't bend or twist so you can align them carefully by holding them on the edges and lay it down, then press firmly once you're sure everything is aligned properly.

I see no reason for these to affect standard rubber-based cases. Only issues may come with metal/hard-plastic cases that require the device to be flush.

Very interesting one, this company doesn't seem to have an official website but I will add the Amazon link. Thank you. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] exhardy:
If the case is thicker than the glass then it should be okay to block the light,

but the problem only occur on glass protector that covers the camera ( Spigen and others )

MIME doesn't cover the camera so there aren't any extra flares caused by that.

MIME also have rounded corners, and actually feels thinner than Spigen rounded one.

Here's a picture of the front facing camera with my MIME protector.

Hello everyone!

Started browsing this thread since I'll be using s4 starting from next week!

I just wanted to share with you all an answer from the mighty MIME customer service about international shipping of multiple items (I'm in Italy and I'm going for their sp)

Here u go:

" Hi npingu,

Whenever two or more protectors are ordered for international delivery, we ship them with the retail box. Only if it is one protector that is ordered for international delivery do we deliver without the retail box. That means the shipping price you see at the checkout screen (should be around ~$15USD) will cover the shipment of the 2 glass protectors, 2 buttons, with the complete packaging. Hope this helps!

Best, The MIME Team"

I'm ordering a few and sharing shipping costs with friends, thought this could be a good way of saving some bucks!

Cheers,

nP

just installed the mime screen protector, was easy and the extra giant sticker that goes on the phone was SUPER useful. Had some micro particles which i was not able to get off with the cloth provided, the sticker made all the difference. My only been is that the button sent is an akward shape, crappy mold i assume. I am going to ask them for another one.

Hi all,

I have just recieved my order of

Spigen glass. Tr

Spigen slim armor

Spigen aluminium buttons

I ordered these after the premature death of my s3 after it slipping out of my pocket into gravel. (with plastic cheap protector) unfortunately leaving me with a broken screen.

I have got to say, this set leaves me relatively confident that my device would survive that same drop. (sorry I won't be testing!)

With these on, my device feels extremely durable and has had little to no negative impact in the feel or usability of the device.

If anything, the device is easier to grip and feels a lot more solid.

It may have cost me around £50 for all of the bits and this is something I would never previously have considered, however I'm converted!

If you are unsure on spending thus kind of money on device protection, I'd certainly recommend that you do. When it comes down to it, these items have the ability to maximise the lifetime and value of your device, so I reckon money well spent!

Does anyone here use the GameKlip for the GS3 (which also fits GS4) with one of the tempered glass protectors? I'm wanting to place an order for the MIME protector but unsure if the added thickness of that (or any protector) would cause issues in placing the device in the GameKlip.

Well...I hate my microfiber screen cleaner...it ended up scratching my iloome SP...:( That's what I get for wiping fingerprints so much...uggh...just gives me another reason to order, test, and review another SP from the OP :D...lol

honestly though I'm a bit irratated by the microfiber cloth scratching my SP even...dirt is a killer I guess no matter how tough you think keys pens and fingernails are you can still scratch glass with sand/dirt. The scratches on the screen are very minor but me being me can't deal with the minor scratches I see. I'll try and post pics of it but I doubt they'll show on camera. Thinking about trying that colored SP I found yesturday since iloome doesn't have one. Possibly might go with MIME if their website comes back up.

I have a question about the glas.t slim .23mm. well I ordered one off ebay and it came today. everying inside the box was all thrown around and looked a little sloppy(packaging). if this thing is supposed to be tempered glass, is it flexible? never heard of bendable glass...just want to make sure its real before I apply it. thanks in advance

I work in an AT&T corporate store and we just received the BodyGuardz Pure. I had been looking around but when we got this in I couldn't resist because I got to use my employee discount on it so got it for a great price. Bought it today and install went extremely smooth, there were two minor bubbles in each top corner at first but after an hour they went away. The edges are not rounded but it worked out since I use the Speck Candy Shell case so they became a non issue. Fits perfectly with the case by the way and the home button stickers were a welcome addition but I think I may order the Spigen Aluminum buttons because those look nicer. Only had it on for a few hours but I am extremely happy with my purchase and the feel is great and fitment is awesome. Does not cover the camera or anything so no issues there. Definitely recommend it, especially if you use a case because it negates the lack of rounded corners.

I would try to buff out the scratch in the glass. Microfiber cloth is great but it can grab dirt and scratch screens. That happened to my screen in my car 2 days after I got it.

I too own a tempered glass protector, but I ask myself why? whats the point? I can get a replacement digitizer for less than most of these protectors...lmao
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] UseYourIllusion:
I got my protector for $20. So you're telling me you can get a replacement digitizer and LCD for cheaper than that including install? Excuse me while I call your bluff.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GrapeBandit:
call my bluff? who said anything about lcd, I said digitizer. one site has them for 25, another for around 30. ordered from tbem knce before when I cracked a different phone
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] UseYourIllusion:
Are they not fused on this device, oem? If not then I apologize because I thought they were. But the again why risk opening up the phone and repairing it as it will probably never feel as good as stock. We're talking about phones that are worth over $600 retail, I'm sure we can all afford to spend $25 or so to protect it for the piece of mind... This is a discussion thread after all for those who ARE interested in them. It's not a debate over their worth...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GrapeBandit:
they "claim" they are fused, like many other companies "claim" also. I took apart a so called "claimed" fused phone before and saw someone do the s4. sorry you dont have the confidence to take apart your phone. its 9 #00 philips screws and a couple of clips to the motherboard. why would it not feel stock? dont think anyone can reinstall clips and 9 screws? what dk you think samsumg does if you sent it to tbem? what are they professional screw drivers? gtfo..I do all mg own repairs, on my cars and my phones. ..ppl like you are just misinformed, sorry to bear that.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] smckdwn989:
you're clearly right. I'd much rather completely break down my phone to replace a screen than buy a tempered glass screen protector. good job, you win. you're smarter than every person in this thread that bought a screen protector. i hope your ego can withstand such a big compliment.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
I know it wasn't S4, I'm talking about AMOLED displays in general and the fact that they're fused to the glass makes them not even close to as easy as LCD's (if not impossible on the S2). Checking on the S4 video you link they have at least made it physically possible to change it if you are extremely careful. But are you really going to pay $10 for the glass, then risk the process/damage, spend the time and energy taking it apart with the proper tools, possibly scratching the display or even damaging it, dealing with all that adhesive and so forth, and then still not having it even close to factory?

Or would rather just spend $12-$30 one time, drop the phone and know that the screen is okay anyways, and then just buy another later on and just put it on again without worrying about damaging anything?

I think the answer is very obvious here, but in the end it's your decision and your wallet sir.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lazard:
decided to try to New Plus flexible glass screen since I didn't really want something quite as thick as the glas.tr. The feel of the screen itself, it's much smoother than plastic but not quite as smooth as the original glass. On the plus side, it's very forgiving if you mess up or if you later find specks of dust underneath. Since it's quite thin, also don't have to worry about having to raise the home button.

Edit: Just my luck...just found out about Spigen's upcoming glas.t slim nano which is even thinner than the New Plus. oh well.

Hello, got the Spigen GLAS.t SLIM for my S4, all good for now, 1 or 2 bubbles remaining :(

The only think I noticed is when you make a call with this one, the glas is like scratching your ear because of the sharp edge around the speaker.

I think the Tr one with rounded edge don't act like that.

*sigh*

Well, I blew it. I got two of the MIME Ghost Glass protectors - one for me and one for my wife. Both installations were failures. I now believe that the design of the Ghost Glass is a bit flawed. Previous photos have shown the edge of the glass coming surprisingly close to the camera, but nobody has reported it being much of a problem. Just my luck, however, that with both, the glass barely touched the camera. I thought it might not be an issue, but opening up the camera app quickly proved otherwise. The bottom part of the screen had a slight haze across it on both phones. I decided to try removing the glass and reapply, even though I knew it probably wouldn't work out. I actually ended up doing so twice on each, for a total of 3 applications per phone. On one phone, the glass still skirts too close to the camera. I don't see the point in trying a 4th time. On the other phone, the glass is finally far enough away from the camera to not be a problem, but now it looks funny to me because the home button is WAY off center in the opening for it. I realize that was my tragic flaw. I was using the home button as the cornerstone of my alignment. I would center it in the opening and get the sides straight, then drop the glass down. With the Ghost Glass, this left the glass overlapping the camera every time.

Needless to say, prying up the Ghost Glass and reapplying it didn't go well. Both of them now have a corner that doesn't adhere.

I really think that the design of the Ghost Glass is just flawed. I think I might try for iLoome or Spigen instead.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] rushco:
I went with the MIME and tried to make sure nothing got caught while applying it. Sure enough 2 little pieces on the left bottom and right bottom. I popped the bottom left side up and put some tape under to grab it. I tried reapplying the glass screen protector and it wouldn't stick. I remember reading another thread here saying all I need to do is apply some 91% Isopropyl Alcohol. So I put some in a little dropper bottle, lifted the edge and put a couple drops. When I let go of the edge it immediately stuck. I put my case back on and pushed the 91% isoproply alcohol around and it looks great now. With the screen on everything looks good. The camera doesn't seem to be giving me any issues due to the screen protector.

I just installed my Spigen Glas TR on Friday night. Did the shower trick and it looks great. I could not be happier with it. There is one small speck of dust in the upper right that I couldnt get out with the tape trick. It's really not terrible, just hoping my OCD doesn't kick in down the line and make me remove it to reapply.

Tech armor ballistic glass

Hello, I'm here to share my experience with tech armor ballistic glass. I just ordered last wednsday and have received it on saturday which it was pretty fast shipping. Never thought i would a buy a glass protector for my phone but seeing that a lot of you were buying them i thought i would give it a try and for about $20 for tech armor glass it was a pretty good deal, installation is pretty easy if you follow the instructions included, just make sure you are in a very clean area to prevent lint,dust. The glass is very smooth and clarity is amazing and it doesnt add much bulk, still cant belive im not using a matte screen protector as ive used them for years, the oleophobic coating is great i barely get fingerprints and if I do they wipe easily. I can now say im part of the tech armor nation and i can stop shopping for screen protectors. Another great thing about techarmor is if you have any problems with the product they will replace it or refund you your money.I'm very glad i made this jump and im very satified with this purchase, best $20 ive spent! Here is a few pictures to give you an idea of how it looks installed, THANKS! :laugh:

just happy that my case is coming wed.
