I've installed 6 of the Mime USA screen protectors for people (1 for me) and they have all gone on flawlessly. I'm a firm believer that the thinner glass is the way to go, with the thicker glass sticking up above the edge of the phone it's more apt to get damaged.

Here's a pic
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JAMIE1000UK:
Got my tempered glass fitted today. No smudges no Bubbles. easy to fit. Button is slightly lower then glass but I suppose that is an advantage which would stop it being scratched in the event of accidents or kids attacking the screen with whatever they get there hands on

So far I'm impressed. Touch screen has no less responsiveness then it did before. Glass fits perfectly around the corners and doesn't interfere with the front camera. And for £10 I ain't grumbling at all. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
I've had MIME as well and it's a great product no doubt. I was happy with mine when I had it on my Note 2. Im also happy with the eBay one I have now. 1/4 of the cost as well. It's thinner than the MIME and feels great and smooth. At the end of the day it's all about what you feel is the best fit for you.

I have botched the application of a Spigen t :( €36 down the drain. It had a lot of airbubbles I couldn't get out, so, with my mind still stuck in the film-screenprotector mode, I thought to remove it and reapply... which gave me a load of dust on the sticky surface, despite doing this in a steamy bathroom.

Here in The Netherlands I think we don't have many (good) options as far as tempered glass screenprotection goes. Unless you are willing to wait for ages and/or get hit by customs.

What do other European Note-owners buy for tempered glass stuff and doesn't break the bank?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Treklin:
On amazon.de you can find the orzly tempered glass for 10€ and it protects the complete screen but the home button and speaker.

I had the same exact problem.. Right in the garbage

What do you guys think about Sir Lancelot Holy Grail Screen Protector, thinking about picking one up but would love some feedback before I do so.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] st3ph3nbr!tt:
Tried both the spigen tr slim and mime feather... Mime feather wins... In my opinion. Same features however mime feather is under half as thick and you get a discounted price for life after your initial purchase. Using it with an otterbox defender with the plastic screen protector punched out. I feel ultimate protection with a smooth glide.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Vulpix:
omg, I'm having the same issue too! Drop an email! I'm quite sure it's due to the heat of the phone while in use, specially the top part!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MACHEK:
Serious? What heat? My phone was laying on the nightstand. I assume that sarcasm cause my phone has never gotten hot, not once... my old phone however, burned up like crazy
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Vulpix:
No, it's not heat as in charging heat. When you use the phone on LTE/HSDPA, the top portion of your phone heats up a bit. It's not burning hot or whatever, but it's enough to cause the Flex to "flex" or lift up. Try touching the top portion of your phone when you are using data in a place with poor data reception, > 30 minutes.

I assume you have used your phone extensively while you're outside right?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MACHEK:
OK I do, but never notice any hear from it at all. Even while recording 4k to my micro sd since people said that that may be an issue so I tried feeling it but nothing. Even so, going to bed it was fine and after I woke up it looked like that. Wouldn't more people have this problem if it was really due to normal use?

I rarely ever am in places with poor reception.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Vulpix:
Not sure about video recording, but I am quite sure extensive use of your data for > 30 minutes heats up the top portion of your phone significantly. Again, I want to stress it doesn't get hot, just warm. But warm enough to cause something on the Flex. Haven't tried video recording. Mine goes away after the phone cools and constantly pressing it down.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MACHEK:
Here's my temperature from today's use, over 4.5 hours of screen time. Even if I press it for ten minutes straight mine doesn't go away.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Vulpix:
Ouch, then I have no idea why it's happening for you.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MACHEK:
Sorry here is the pic. Having troubles posting pictures here for some reason
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Andrewtst:
My data on all time, everyday surfing using it till near empty battery which means at least 3 hours ++. Never have any issue, never too heat still lift up something.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Vulpix:
I have no idea why this is happening to me then. :( Already emailing them my issue...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] airmaxx23:
Which eBay one did you get?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
Someone suggested the Nillkin H+ tg screen guard which I just received. $16 on Amazon and absolutely love it. Rounded corners, thin, perfect visibility and smoothness, same cut outs as the spigen. Best part was that I was actually able to lift it about 3 times to re adjust positioning and it didn't cause any adverse results. Absolutely awesome for the price.

If you go a few pages back you will see what it looks like on my phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
are the sides rounded?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
Yeah they are
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
I meant edges, but I guess you understood ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
Yeah I did. Lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GramKrackr:
I had the same problem just soak it under sink water get it nice and wet than shake off the excess apply to your phone and use a card to push any excess water out and keep a paper towel handy. It takes a while but I did it with mine and now it's perfect.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Schizoprenia:
Question: i know this protects the screen so hence the real screen will be fine, but the glas TR it self, will it collect scractches on it? because i know a couple of film that does.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
no, regular PET screen protectors scratch easily since they're 1-3H Hardness

real tempered glass is usually 8-9H hardness, unless there's something like sand involved, then all bets are off
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
I wanted to clear up something. The screen protector doesn't have the round corners. I don't know why I said it did. I didn't get the round corner for the reason that it doesn't get as close to the bezel of the phone as I like. Even with a case there is still a gap and I don't like to get crap in-between the edge of the glass and the case. Thats why I went with this glass. Just thought I would mention it incase thats a deal breaker for you. :p

Just Like Glass NANO Review

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMO8YITv_ew

Came out yesterday.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] hatif:
If u wanted to buy a tempered glass screen protector.. it is better to buy a good brand like spigen.. now im using spigen glass tr and im very satisfied used it for my note 3.. many brand out there claim their tempered glass is good but who knows.. the spigen tempered glass is thiner... about 0.25mm then another brand of tempered glass is 0.4mm..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
Not always better when other brands are just as thin and just as good for a lot less.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] giorat23:
I used a Glass M but I drop off because its too heavy.. About 100gms I thing.. Dont like it. Now I have a matte antifingerprint one. Yes, any gram on this phone matter.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] polarissucks01:
I got this on my iphone 5s. I love the Nano. It is smoother than the phones glass and so thin. It doesn't interfere with the touch id at all. Its no thicker than a Zagg or anything like that.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gopheer:
Hey for those who ordered the Brando one, how long did shipping take? it says 7-20 business days, did it really take that long?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DLCPhoto:
FWIW, I monitored this thread even before I bought my GN3, and was intrigued by the Tempered Glass option. Considered the Brando 0.2 because of the minimal thickness. I eventually decided, though, to give the JLG Nano a try. I found the long review fairly impressive, and really wanted to minimize thickness. I use the basic TPU case/holster, and it's pretty snug without any protector.

It went on perfectly - dry application, which I prefer. The surface is extremely smooth - seems to live up to its name of 'just like glass.' Functionality no change whatsoever. Definitely no 'orange peel' type surface like many protectors produce, which I really don't like.

Would I have liked a tempered glass protector as much, or better? No way to know, but am pretty pleased with the JLG Nano. YMMV.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] maetsuenxda:
I have the SPIGEN SGP Screen Protector GLAS.tR SLIM Premium Tempered Glass installed on my Note 3 at the moment and I'm 100% satisfied.

I installed patiently using the hinge method, installed right after removing that plastic cover on the screen of a brand new Note 3 so little wiping was needed.

Although I still used that liquid solution that came with the purchase.

It was a 100% perfect install and I'm so glad I did it myself. No dust particles trap in the screen and no bubbles, sigh so relieved.

I didn't use the home button that came with the SPIGEN Glass, I felt the dept of the original home button was fine with me.

100% satisfied with my purchase & would surely buy again if the need arises.

Update

Hi,

Just to let everyone know my experience with the mikemq2003's ebay recommendation. It arrived, and I installed it as mike suggested. I also did it in the bathroom after a bath as I read somewhere that it makes the environment more dust free.

Installation was relatively pain free. There was a bit of difficulty because the protector fits the phone so perfectly that it got caught on the edge of the phone when I first put it on. Thank God I was able to adjust it without damaging the protector or getting dust caught in between the protector and phone.

Now, my phone looks new again. I definitely think this is a better screen protector than iloome's flex. It feels sturdy, and is much smoother and nicer to touch than the iloome flex (even after 2 weeks; iloome instructions said it may feel rough but that would wear off with use). Writing with the s pen also feels better than with the iloome flex. Installation was much easier than with the iloome despite not having the hinge method stickers that came with the flex. Most of it is probably due to that perfect fit. Furthermore, there's the alcohol swab and I think the microfiber cloth is better than the iloome's.

Overall I am very pleased with my new screen protector!

Thanks again mikemq2003!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] FormeriPhoney:
Glad to hear this, Mine will be here Monday
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] int_architect:
Thanks!

:good: Thanks for this. Just bought one for my Note 3 and one for my wife's HTC One. :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
Glad I could help you all. I'm still happy with the result this protector has to offer. Glad I stumbled upon it. Still might get the aluminum home button. I like that it is lower though so I don't hit it when it's in my pocket. Anyways enjoy! :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
Received the tempered glass protector that mikemq2003 recommended the other day and just installed it about an hour ago.

Steamed up the bathroom excessively and proceeded remove my old tempered glass protector I got from earlybirdsavings on ebay (don't get this one because it sucks).

Used the the included dust removing stickers to remove anything left over on my screen. Also, the tape-hinge method words wonders.

No dust, no air bubbles, nothing but a beautiful & clear screen protector. As good as if not better than the Spigen and MIME protectors I've used in the past.

Bargain at $7~ I was hoping they would include half-decent home button stickers but they gave me ones with the distorted apple logo on them.... le sigh

I was gonna go for an iloome flex, just to try it out, but my friend got one and it's nothing more than a glorified PET protector in my view.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
Yeah I'm sorry I didn't mention anything about the home button stickers. I got ones with stars on them. Lol I threw them out as soon as I saw them.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jian:
I would advise anyone thinking of buying a glass screen protector to just buy the cheap 8 dollar ones of ebay or Amazon. Chances are they are exactly the same units that the brand names are selling, but at 2-4 times the price!

The only thing you have be careful of is that the item shown in the photos is not always the one you will receive. By that i mean the cutouts might be different, so make sure you ask your questions before you buy.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
Thanks for repeating what was said on the last 3-4 pages lol but anyways well said.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Septembersrain:
I got mine and it was too long for the phone!

Oh well. I threw it away and I'll try another kind later.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
Which glass did you get? That's interesting.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Septembersrain:
It was from the link. The box like thing said Gold something. It came with two hilarious stick on home button covers with stars.

Think I'll be trying to find a thinner, non-glass type of screen protector next.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] FormeriPhoney:
I received and installed my tempered glass from the eBay link... Wow.

Nice packaging and amazing install. Not a single dust particle or bubble.

Fits great with both my Ringke slim and Seidio Surface case.

I beat all of you with the home button stickers.... 2 pink Dora the Explorer stickers. Lmao

I actually like that it's semi recessed. I'm leaving it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
That's sucks. I would try to contact them and see it you can get another on sent to you. Yeah the stickers are a joke but the glass is really good.

Dora stickers?!!! Hahaha yeah that takes the crown. Yeah I like how the button is recessed as well. I just left it the way it is.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xtrandrix:
Just got mine in today. It took exactly 7 days coming from Dayton, NJ to North Carolina. I was so happy to get rid of my Zagg HD screen protector.

Application was as easy as I could have imagined. Feels good to be touching glass rather than the rubbery Zagg screen.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] neyenlives:
Just installed the Bear Motion tempered glass protector. Very happy with fit and finish, and price. Had to peel it back and reinstall several times even though I used the "hinge" method in a steamy bathroom, still perfect. Love it. I have carried all my phones for years naked with no problems but said if I ever found one that worked well and didn't notice I would.... I found it.

Arrived and Installed...

The two I ordered (one for Note 3 and one for HTC One) arrived today. I installed them both and worked up quite a sweat in our steamy bathroom. I won't say I like things to be perfect, but I will say that I'm a perfectionist in recovery - 10 years clean!

Looks really good on the phones. I have never used any sort of screen protector on previous phones, but after these I don't think I could ever own a phone without placing a tempered glass screen protector on it. Really impressed with these. The one for the HTC One has a bit of an issue where it looks like there's a small notch in the glass. I already contacted the seller and am confident they'll take care of it. Thanks again, mikemq2003!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
Glad I could help. I hope this seller has glass for every phone I buy in the future. I will definitely get them. Just hit the thanks button for me. :p
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stocovick:

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] neyenlives:
What I can't figure out is why any of those are worth thirty bucks or more compared to the Bear Motion one I got for thirteen or so.

It's 9H hard tempered, the edges are rounded off, the only difference I see is instead of completely surrounding the bottom button it has a notch that goes over the bottom button. But the teeny tiny eighth of an inch below the button can't really get damaged and is protected anyways as long as you have a case that has a raised edge like most cases have.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] crimsonincarnate:
I got the Mime protector, but unfortunately, the edge chipped within a week. So much for 9H hardness...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] neyenlives:
The protector is inside of the edges of the screen, how in the world does one crack one on the edge?

Also something to realize guys is the harder something is the more brittle it is. Aquariums come with a tempered glass bottom to take the load, sides are not usually tempered as there's little weight on the sides. If you tried to drill the bottom it would instantly shatter. It can take high loads as long as the energy is applied a certain way and distributed well. If the force is applied in a tiny spot or suddenly at once, tempered will break long before untempered.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] m.alba:
I just noticed that mine has a chip on the edge. And now I see a line crack that keeps getting larger by the day like a windshield crack. MIME has lifetime warranty, but I'm debating if I should just buy the eBay version for $10 vs. $17 replacement from MIME. The track can be seen only when the phone is off. If it's on, then I can't see the crack line.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jc003125:
I got in 7 days too :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] crimsonincarnate:
Good question. I really have no idea. I've never dropped the phone, or has it taken any semi-hard impact at any point in time. I just woke up today, checked my phone, and as I was running my finger up to the volume button, it caught on the chip on the protector. I've been real careful with the phone too, which is why the chip is pretty depressing. I can't post pictures, but the chip is large enough for me to see it every time I look at the screen.

A lifetime warranty that charges me for each replacement is hardly something I'd call a warranty. $17 for a replacement for something that didn't even last me one week doesn't seem right though. I wouldn't pay $17, let alone $30 for such a product. Time for eBay..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MACHEK:
Yeah I actually bought an eBay one that has the same cut outs as the iloome for $6. I was pissed that I paid as much as I did for iloome and that it already is coming up. Looking forward to never spending $20 plus dollars on any screen protector :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
I'll have to buy another $7 ebay protector since I have to send my phone for an exchange....and I just installed it the other day FML

i bought this one (sorry cant post link,copy and paste this into amazon search: B00FWM2G4Y) here in germany.

it´s not that expensive but the quality is very good. best screen protector i ever had.

fits and sticks perfect, very easy mounting, no bubbles at all (after 2 days), feels nice with finger or pen, less fingerprints.

the home button is 0,5mm lower than the glass screen, which i find is very comfortable.

only thing to mention is that the front camera and sensors aren´t covered.

fits perfect with a spigen neo hybrid case ;)

Bought this from amazon prime shipping was available. .best one I've used yet ..no reason to spend 30 or more when you can get the same quality for less than 10 bucks ...This one feels even better than the iloome flex I initially had...I think it's a placebo effect and there's no difference outside of thickness for these protectors here's the link ... http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00G9Q8A6U/ref=ya_aw_oh_pit
