I got a tempered glass screen protector from eBay last week. So far, so good. It feels slick as glass and no scratches. Packaging was good and no bubbling either. Only bad thing was that shipping to the U.S. was really slow. Took me almost 3 weeks to get mine, but it's a cheaper alternative that came in a nice package.

They getting any better. I know there was a noticeable difference/degrade is screen quality when I used one last year. Spotty Rainbow affect

A plus to Zagg for me is they have a koisk in the local mall, bring in your peeled SP and bam a new one on the spot no questions asked.
[One (M7) Accessories] irokgalaxy:
You guys are making me nervous about taking off my spigen for this one.
[One (M7) Accessories] alakiha:
Hey guys,

I just wanted to let you know that I received mine yesterday (I'm not sure which batch I got, new one or old one!) But so far so good, I'm so satisfied with it and I don't have any problems at any corners :)

I know one thing for sure, from now on it would be hard to think about normal screen protectors! while glass ones are around.

UPDATE: I sent them an email asking for help, they wanted some pictures of the broken glass and I sent this one on top.

This is what they replied:

The code was a coupon that turned to $0 the cost of the new glass screen protector!

I'm so happy I bought from MIME, that was amazing from them :)
[One (M7) Accessories] Nepythys:
Got this in the morning. First time installing a screen protector and fitting it perfectly was pretty easy. I just had dust under it so I removed the dust using scotch tape lifting the screen protector every time but since I didn't touch it with my fingers, it still fits like new! Amazing quality and amazing packaging! Also the complete order including custom paperwork and shipping took 9 days (I live in Greece btw).
[One (M7) Accessories] aimetti:
So I made the mistake of putting my ball marker when golfing in my pocket w/ my phone. Wouldnt have thought the quarter sized marker could hurt the protector but it sure did. Left a nice chip / crack in the corner of the protector. I still think this is an awesome product but wow is it fragile.
[One (M7) Accessories] automaddux:
wait a minute, is there a firmware update for the ATT variant? I just bought mine and I thought it was up to date.

Dammit!
[One (M7) Accessories] irokgalaxy:
Ok I just got mine in the mail last night( mail man has 2 girl friends on route so he comes after 7pm) what I notice is the edges are not as nice as the spigen gtr. I will post what I think of the two after I install
[One (M7) Accessories] jeremyhilton:
I thought the same thing regarding the durability of this glass, while this is my first experience with a glass protector I thought it would be tougher. Maybe someone with experience with Spigen or others could give their opinion...
[One (M7) Accessories] speedofheat:
This protector is a little fragile. The application is easy enough and it feels great to use, but mine got a chip in the center of the right edge (exactly where the pleather clasp of my full body folding case closes). I am quite disappointed by this.
[One (M7) Accessories] Huey85:
The Ghost Glass is a smidge thinner than most of its competitors in the market, so I'm not surprised that it does get chipped/cracked as easy as it does. I'm just not happy that the adhesive isn't so good and doesn't hold down to all the corners of the screen.
[One (M7) Accessories] titas119:
Hi guys. I just wonder, do you guys believe, that there is a real difference between all these expensive branded tempered glass protectors and those cheap ebay tempered glass screen protectors?
[One (M7) Accessories] titans1187:
Does anyone have any tips on installation? I messed up my first one and Mime was nice enough to send me another one as a replacement. I've had no issues doing this kind of protector on an iphone 5 or galaxy s4 due to the earpiece and home button as reference points. On the one the sides are hard to line up doe to the display kind of wrapping around the sides on the phone. Is it a good idea to remove the entire protective liner or just half and then peel the rest as I go along?
[One (M7) Accessories] Huey85:
okay guys, so I received my 2nd replacement which was from the new batch (after they made modifications to their manufacturing process) and I'm so glad to say that the Ghost Glass now sticks completely to the screen with no air pockets/bubbles, especially around the corners which were the main problem areas. The install went perfectly with no dust, no lint, and relatively aligned (installed with case on for guidance). Loving this Ghost Glass even more now and really, their customer service is second to none.
[One (M7) Accessories] Bseagull:
Looks cool, I'll have to pick one up!
[One (M7) Accessories] Alex1123:
This won't work on my phone will it? 1.29.651.10 using viper Rom is there a sprint Rom this will work on? Will it work just fine on aosp based Roms? Just trying to see if it will work on the sprint variant
[One (M7) Accessories] Huey85:
So here are some photos after installing my second replacement which was from the new batch of Ghost Glass after MIME announced that they made some refinements to their manufacturing process..

No more annoying air bubbles or air pockets underneath and all 4 corners are adhering to the screen with no problems.

Sent from my HTC One
[One (M7) Accessories] ro_explorer:
I also received mine today ... It looks good but after 3 cycles of applying the glass, removing it to get rid of the lint caught under it and placing it back, I managed to ruin 2 corners of the adhesive and also to mount it slightly to the right ... damn.

I'm so pissed that I'm going to order another one just to prove to myself that I can mount it perfectly.
[One (M7) Accessories] dlads:
Actually it does heal, I wouldn't say a day and in some cases maybe not even a week but it will always return to it's original size, including pushing out scratches.

I've always had Zagg, the HD one is pretty good in terms of how it feels, but it's a lot thinner, plus it scratches easier and takes longer to heal.

Anyway enough about Zagg, i'm interested in this screen protector. Have you scratched yours yet?

Like your case too :)

EDIT: Do u know if they ship to the UK?
[One (M7) Accessories] Huey85:
Yep they do, they ship internationally.
[One (M7) Accessories] dwang:
got mine today. Installed without issues. Got almost a perfect install. There's a small piece of dust on the lower left edge. Oh well...

My wife's htc one has a cheap ebay tempered glass and I can't see any difference between the mime one and the ebay one.

Next time, I'll probably just go with the cheap ebay glass.
[One (M7) Accessories] Huey85:
You won't get the same customer service with the cheapo eBay one as you do with MIME. If you need another one later down the track for whatever reason, they'll replace it at 40% off the original purchase price. And they are quick with their responses/shipping.
[One (M7) Accessories] dwang:
the ebay ones are $10 so its still cheaper but they do take forever to ship since they are coming from china and I hate waiting for stuff. LOL
[One (M7) Accessories] Huey85:
Yeah.. I personally would not risk getting it shipped from Chinese eBay sellers, in case the glass somehow shatters/cracks on the way during transit. At least with MIME, if that were to happen, they would send you a free replacement no questions asked. Same with any defects, they would replace it free of charge.
[One (M7) Accessories] Phamwich:
I had ordered a protector from MIME back on June 24th, but I didn't actually install it until a few weeks ago. I also ended up with some non-adhering edges and corner, along with a minor crack on the side. I've attached a pic. The non-adhering edges are easy to see, and the crack is in the lower left of the pic (lower portion of the right edge of the phone's screen).

I emailed MIME support, and they asked for a picture, then sent me a discount code for my next protector. Based on what I've read in this thread, it seems that they've made improvements, so here's hoping that my replacement will fare better.
[One (M7) Accessories] Kg810:
For the price of MIME Ghost Glass you can basically buy 4 eBay glass protectors at once. Wait 15-23 days and you'll never have to deal with contacting MIME, taking pictures, re-order, etc.
[One (M7) Accessories] Huey85:
Not sure if serious. The cost of the MIME is only like $24 or so. The eBay ones are around $10. And you're saying wait 15-23 days for delivery of the eBay ones? That's ages. MIME ship REALLY quick. Well, up to you which you prefer, but my personal preference is paying for a quality product and quality customer service.
[One (M7) Accessories] nugzo:
I got mine the other day and i must say i will never be without again. I absolutely love this thing. It feels Soooo Smooooth. No more orange peel plastic screen protectors for me! And these are even cheaper than premium plastic! Install was a breeze. Sat the glass on the screen an it magically adhered to the glass and i was done. No bubbles! Try to do that with a plastic protector! Scale of 1-to-10 This gets a 12!
[One (M7) Accessories] Opacac:
Well I applied my second one after paying 5 bucks for shipping. Same problem with the edges not sticking, does anyone know if mime does refunds?
[One (M7) Accessories] js931:
Every phone's screen is different. If you look at the screen reflections in a bright environment from different angles (while screen is off), you will notice that the glass surface is not even at all. So these kind of screen protectors will never fit perfectly for every phone.

Don't know if they refund, I just heard about cost free replacements....
[One (M7) Accessories] runlsd:
Thanks for the info. I just installed one and it went on flawlessly. Clearler than most film protectors and fingers glide around the screen like having no protector at all. Recommended.
[One (M7) Accessories] Kg810:
Last I checked MIME is close to $30 shipped. eBay ones are $7 and ordering 4 is still $2 shipping. :good:

Quality product is a moot point because none of us have done any sort of performance testing between MIME's glass and cheapo eBay ones. The only difference is customer service, which I do not doubt MIME is outstanding at. All I'm saying is for people deciding which route to take, they can order 4 eBay protectors for the price of 1 MIME protector. And a forum member has already stated that he cannot tell any difference between his and his wife's protector.
[One (M7) Accessories] nazrin313:
hi guys, ordered on 8 july and just received mine on the 1st of august (to Brunei), so im not sure if this is the updated one or not.

Installed mine perfectly and like many others got one corner (the bottom right) didnt wanna stick as intended, its been a few days now after the install and it looks the same to me.. but i guess i can live with it..

however, loving it soo far, clear and very smooth to touch and luv the oleophobic properties... will update should anything happens to it
[One (M7) Accessories] dafluke24:
I got mine yesterday and the bottom left corner is not sticking. Emailed MIME and sent them pics and they gave me a discount code for a replacement protector. It came out to $0 after I ordered the replacement. One of the best customer service experience I've dealt with in a long time.
[One (M7) Accessories] nazrin313:
yeah will do this later, thanks for that buddy
[One (M7) Accessories] nazrin313:
I have emailed mime with the issue and they as you said have given me a code for the replacement. Funny thing is, its not free as some of you mentioned, its a 50% discount. How come? if i still have to pay for it i think i will give it a miss and live with this tiny annoyance.

update:

the code is valid for 2 months, so I may use it if the sp is all scratched up.. win
[One (M7) Accessories] dafluke24:
hmm not sure how they go and decide who gets what type of discount. Maybe depends on the severity of the bubbles? Mine is a little over 1/2 inch along the bottom left edge and what looks to be a small one in the top right corner. No matter how hard I press down, it just refuses to stick.
[One (M7) Accessories] magnumtripod:
I had mine for about a week. I dropped my phone several times, but I have a casemate tough case on it and I'm 99.9% sure the phone did not fall on the glass itself. Somehow a crack about 1.5 inches long appeared on the Mime. A day or two later I dropped my phone again and once again it was not on the screen, but the crack extended itself even further.

I decided to peel off the protector at which point it shattered into pieces ( all of which were still stuck together from the adhesive). I dont know if it's glass or some kind of brittle plastic, but there has to be something comparable that is way more durable.

Also the corners never adhered all the way down, but that didn't bother me as much.

I just tossed it and decided not to get a replacement. Dont know if I would have had to send it back or not, but it wasnt worth the hassle
[One (M7) Accessories] nazrin313:
yeap it seems the same for me albeit diffirent loc.. attached are the pics of the sp installed
[One (M7) Accessories] nazrin313:
a sad update: was massaging the bottom right hand corner with my finger nails a few mins ago and guess what.. i chipped it.. WTF!!!!
[One (M7) Accessories] tony2win:
As stated before, this protector does suffer from some strength and durability issues, as well as issues sticking completely. Sometimes these issues are visible quickly, and other times they're not. It seems there's a small percentage of people who have had good experiences with it, but they're definitely in the minority. As much as I want to like it and recommend it I just can't unfortunately. Their customer service is one thing that is pretty awesome though.
[One (M7) Accessories] NCRoadster:
Anyone know if this Mime works with the Double Dip HTC case?
[One (M7) Accessories] ro_explorer:
It will not work by default. I had to trim a little the case in order to make it fit the phone with the mime on. It is not hard at all actually but after this operation the case will only fit the phone with the glass on... It will look awkward otherwise.

I'll post some pictures in the morning - now I'm writing this from bed :)

// sent from my phone //
[One (M7) Accessories] ro_explorer:
The promised samples ... the pictures should be self-explanatory.

The trimming needed was to the front camera enclosure (remove completely the "lower ring") and on the sides where I had to make a little bit of room for the glass .. otherwise the pressure would have most likely break the protector ... not is just sliding there in a "normal" way.
[One (M7) Accessories] js931:
I think this could also be THE common misconception which exists all over the internet: People with complaints are FAR more likely to post something about it than people who don't have a problem.

Very hard to say if the people with good experiences are in the minority here...
[One (M7) Accessories] NCRoadster:
Thanks for the pics. I just got my MIME and it's a beauty! :D

Not gonna modify my double dip tho, I will just return it and get a different case.
[One (M7) Accessories] tony2win:
True. But as far as involved users posting reviews here on this forum, it looks like there aren't as many satisfied buyers as unsatisfied. Hopefully we're the minority overall though, as it's nice to see products from lesser known companies succeed and give competition to the already established brands
[One (M7) Accessories] Alex1123:
So ive had my Mime for a few days and so far its perfect actually had my phone fall face first into the side walk and has a bit of chip not on the edge but towards the middle but no cracks, keep in mind i had a tpu case on my phone as well when it fell. anyways im happy with my purchase but every now and then i seem to have a few touch issues minor ones where it thinks i double tapped or something
[One (M7) Accessories] Gorsnak:
I'm 100% satisfied with mine. I've had it for about a month now. Installation was painless. There are two tiny spots where the glue didn't spread - the bottom left corner with an area maybe the size of the head of a pin. This is entirely covered by my Seidio Active case. The second is a tiny, tiny sliver on the bottom edge just below the home key. Very hard to see.

Performance is great. I do think that touch responsiveness is slightly affected, but not to a troubling extent. In ordinary use anyone who didn't know it was there and didn't happen to feel for the top/bottom edge would assume there was no screen protector at all.

I've never left any other screen protector on my phone for more than 15 minutes. Hate them. Despise them. This one is tolerable, which is very high praise indeed.
[One (M7) Accessories] Loneeagle14:
Flawless here as well. Had it for a bit over a month now and not a scratch/chip anywhere. Don't have any bubbles either. Maybe I just got lucky and got one of the "new" ones...
[One (M7) Accessories] nugzo:
I will never own another phone without one of these. I've never been more pleased with any accessory.... and this is just a piece of glass!

Install on my phone was a breeze. Perfect first try, not a bubble in sight. It feels soooo smooth like it was lubricated wit kY lol. Feels better than the original glass. Fingerprints are almost non existent. I'll never be able to use a plastic screen protector again!

On my friends HTC one though i think we got a warped piece of glass. Could never get it right, always a half moon bubble on the edge, swapped sides when you rotated glass protector.

Being 50/50 as far as fit, i'll still by another one without hesitation.

Using it with one of those cheap ebay aluminum bumpers and they're perfect together!

Did i mention this thing was smooth?
[One (M7) Accessories] Denpech:
Has bought this glass, a week later has noticed that has pasted it not exactly. A question! How you think, in a week of use, it is possible to remove and paste it repeatedly?
[One (M7) Accessories] jblaze10:
Help me understand, you are the op of this thread, on 8-16-13 you did everything short of having an orgasm about how great this mime product is. How happy you are with the way it feel blah blah. Now 8-21-13 u have the zaag on ur phone now and waiting for the mime??? Am I missing something or are you just pushing this product?

Sent from my HTCONE
[One (M7) Accessories] Pure+:
Unless you can find the exact quote of where I said I had the zagg after the mime then you are completely false. I have had the mime on my phone since the time of the original post and have them on my other phones as well. Theyake am extremely quality product and I recommend it strongly.
[One (M7) Accessories] Pure+:
If you had even cared to read a little further you would see posts from me in the next several pages that clearly indicate I had not received my glass protector yet as well as a post the says "op updated with pictures and mini review" which means I completely changed the op after receiving the product. If you are going to make an attempt to trash and bash at least do your homework first and have proof of what you say.

Thanks for playing. Better luck next time.
[One (M7) Accessories] Bryan05:
So are these safe to buy now? I'm really careful with my phones for the most part but having this much protection would be badass. Only things I'm worried about are the screen clarity, and touch responsiveness. It's those few reviews saying the responsiveness is different that scare me. Also I don't usually buy protectors so I'm not the best at putting them on but judging by the videos I'm sure I can do it. How many of you actually used the purple tinted lint remover to install this? Thanks
[One (M7) Accessories] regalpimpin:
I got one last Friday. I used the purple lint remover because why not..

Went down nice n smooth.. BUT. 3 of the 4 corners never fully stuck. Just looking at the phone, you cant even really tell. But if you get it at the right angle you can see they aren't stuck down. Eventually dust will gather there.

i shot MIME an email, and they got back later the same day, then I sent them some pictures, and they sent me a coupon for another one, free of charge. I should have it by early next week.

Going to wait out this first one as long as I can, because right now, it honestly doesn't look that bad. But will only get worse. Then I'll put on the replacement and cross my fingers.

Other then the corner issue, it does look and feel really good. If you can get a perfect one.. It is an awesome product.

If I have an issue with the replacement I'll probably go with the spigen, because I don't know if I can go back to plastic.

I have occasionally, had to hit the back and home buttons more then once, as if we were on the release day software.. Before they fixed the buttons. But not near as often as it used to happen before the update. I can't even call it a complaint really. All other touchscreen responsiveness has been normal.
[One (M7) Accessories] Bryan05:
Thanks very much for the response. I don't think that would be a big deal for me either. I'm talking about hitting the back and home button more than once because half the time I miss anyways and I usually hit it more than once. I'm going to go ahead and get one :D
[One (M7) Accessories] nastystang05:
You won't be disappointed. I was fortunate to get it installed perfectly. I love this product. I will never buy another plastic screen protector.
[One (M7) Accessories] Bryan05:
So any tips for getting it installed right on the first try?
[One (M7) Accessories] js931:
You should apply the screen protector in your bathroom. Let the shower run with hot water for a while before you apply it. This way, the dust particles in the air will be "filtered out" by the steam. The air should not be extremely humid when you apply it of course, but this method should help keep the dust out!

Everything else is careful application and measurement i suppose :)
[One (M7) Accessories] Anonymoos:
Upping this because I'd made a note to come back and post my thoughts once I'd had a chance to fully test this out.

Ordered the ghost glass based off impressions in here a couple of months back when I was shopping around for some protection, didn't fancy sticking a cheap bit of plastic on such a premium feeling phone. Finally installed it a month ago, and it's been an incredible investment. Great to touch, easy to wipe clean, and stuck down and sealed perfectly.

Going by the posts in this thread, my glass was probably one of the ones from the 'newer' batch addressing some of the non sticky edges a couple of people mentioned. Application was a breeze, once I'd used the purple sticky cover thingy to lift off every last bit of dust.

Worth mentioning, I also ordered and applied one for my girlfriends S4 and she's been just as impressed.
[One (M7) Accessories] red rage:
absolutely love mine !
[One (M7) Accessories] naturecannon:
Commuter pretty tight fit. I find that my rubber tends to peal back a bit more while pulling in and out my pocket. Not bad but something I have to fiddle with now and then compared to perfect fit without mime ghost. Still love this glass SP!!
[One (M7) Accessories] 2858ao:
looks like very good

i bought a tempered glass screen protector OEM product from aliexpress

when it arrive i will give the review.
[One (M7) Accessories] Phamwich:
For what it's worth, my first Mime protector had corners that weren't sticking to the screen, and a tiny crack had developed in the lower right edge. Contacted Mime, and they supplied me with a discount coupon to purchase another screen protector. Aside from the lifted corners, I liked just about everything else about the glass protector, so I ordered another one.

I've had the new one on my phone for a few months, and it has held up very nicely. There were some corners not sticking when I first installed it, but they eventually adhered to the screen. The replacement that Mime sent me is fully attached, no bubbles, no lifting edges. It's probably the nicest screen protector I've ever had!
