Unfortunately the cracks in my MIME Feather have only continued to get worse since they first developed. A co-worker has the same protector and his developed cracks just like mine. First small cracks near the home button and then developing into long cracks that cross the screen vertically and on angles. Both were purchased through MIME direct and neither phone has been dropped.

I requested a replacement today as the cracks were simply too pervasive to continue using the protector. It's a great protector and I really like the super thin construction but these two simply haven't held up under heavy daily use on work phones.

Im currently using a zerolemon glass protector and im liking it alot. I dropped my phone and cracked my extreme guard piece. I like the thinner look and the feel is pretty nice too.

Glass with cover ?

Does this temper glass fits okay with cover on ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Squabl:
I have been using cheap tempered glass protectors from ebay. (Costs around 7USD) 0.22MM fits pretty well with Samsung s-view cover but 0.33MM does not.

Did know if you were asking me, yes I have a neo hybrid that i am using and it fits perfectly.

would anyone use a anti spy tempered glass? I have one but I'm debating on putting it on or not..

Same one im using.... plus it has a lifetime warranty! I bought 2 just in case i screwed up on the install, and at $8 a pop you cant really go wrong.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] 1slow4G:
Well the tempered glass did protect the digitizer but not the lcd lol. Son was walking with wife's N3, tripped over an object, phone flew and bounced couple times. Protector shattered at 2 spots, digitizer no scratch at all, but lcd cracked. Replacement oem assembly on the way $200 later.

Had thin tpu style case. Which I blame the cause
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] apraetor:
I tried one, but it drove me nuts. They narrow the viewing angles, so I feel like I'm never seeing the screen quite as bright as it actually is. It's a psychological thing, so you might be able to deal. If glare is your problem then you are better-off with an anti-glare one.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JazonX:
Just a Question I had since the Beginning,

Once you apply the Tempered Glass, It's possible to remove it? I was guessing that its permanent, and It's difficult remove without risking damage to the LCD.

Thanks!

Xtreme Gaurd Spartan Glass for the Note 3 is out of stock and unorderable which is kinda stupid. They should let you purchase it and wait on backorder. Alas I only wanted it as a spare/backup as I'm using...

ScreenMate 9H Tempered Glass protector. Had it on my phone since April 4th 2014. A few small very indistinguishable scratches. You have to look for them to see them.

Bump for the best invention ever created for phone accessories
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sprintuser1977:
Definitely a must have.

Much better than regular films, especially no F'n bubbles.

My first experience with one was on my Note 10.1, but much easier to install on phone.

Mine was actually around a buck with free shipping. Even converted my wife and her S4 to tempered and she loves it !

2 for under $2 with free shipping, well worth it.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] IT_Architect:
What's a must have? It seems like things are all over the map when it comes to selecting a good screen protector. Some people spend a little and some people spend a lot. When I look at the reviews on Amazon, the inexpensive ones seem to have the same levels of customer satisfaction than the expensive ones. I will be receiving a new Galaxy Note 3 tomorrow. I've put on plastic screen protectors before on my Touch Pro2. Frustrating to get things centered and keeping out dust even in a steam room. I've never worked with tempered glass protectors. I read 9, and rounded edges are better. I'd figure on making several attempts to get one right, so I would think it wouldn't make sense to spend too much per. Which screen protector should I buy?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sprintuser1977:
l will be honest. I bought the cheapest tempered glass on ebay I could find. Came from China to Ga in about a week and a half.

Got my wife one as well from same guy for her S4.

I have absolutely no complaints. IMO it works as good as the more expensive ones. Easy application and no dang bubbles, like I always get with film ones.

Ordered one from China for my 10.1 and again, no problems. So, if like me, money is an issue, I would get a cheap China one.

I have had 3 with no Issues at all.

Just my 2 cents though

Edit: On my wife's phone I had to take off once and re-apply and even that went fine

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] henbone11:
Looks great, this is the one I am about to pull the trigger on. Is it as easy to apply as the video on their site suggests? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ajfoucault:
I just bought this one. US$30 for such an awesome fitting screen protector seems reasonable. How long did it take for you to receive it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] side808:
Just got my iloome flexible glass. Install was easy and it fits perfectly. The one and only big con is that when writing on the screen with the spen, the pen leaves marks. There's also slight resistance when writing on the screen with the spen. The marks do wipe away with a cloth but its very disappointing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dscline:
I just got mine today too. I haven't even had a chance to really try it out yet, but I wonder if the issue you are having is due to the residue that is supposed to wear off?

One thing I found odd is that there is no cut-out for the front camera. The only cut-outs are for the speaker and button. I would think that could cause a very slight reduction in image quality through the front camera. I never use the front camera myself, so personally, I prefer it this way because it makes the screen protector very hard to notice. I do have a few strange specs on the surface in one corner (near the front facing camera), but I think they may wear off. They're very hard to notice though, even if they don't.

Overall I'm very happy with it... it's thin enough that the button sits flush (I really didn't want it recessed, or have to use one of those stick-ons to bring it up like the thicker protectors need). Since the edge around the N3 is raised a bit, the edges of the protector are protected from nicks. In fact, this protector is thin enough that the edges of the phone still sit slightly higher.

Only variable is how well this will resist scratches. But even if it does eventually scratch, the much lower price point relative to other glass protectors makes it a good buy in my opinion.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] side808:
Im hoping it is due to that residue. But overall im very happy. I also like how the home button sits with the protector. I did take a few pics with the front facing camera and it seems ok.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rg1973:
I just ordered the mime, how do u like it
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pkd600:
I installed my iloome flexible glass yesterday and find it to be pretty fantastic. I'm not sure what you are expecting with the s pen marks. They don't seem to be bad at all to me and it seems that the reason they show up is because the s pen is wiping away the oil residue that was left on the screen from when you used your fingers. I'd be willing to be that every screen protector is going to do this, but it's pretty minor.

I noticed those little specs or dots near the front camera when I installed it as well, but they seem to have gone away.

Really like this protector an highly recommend it. It is very thin and sits flush with the home button. Feels just like the naked glass and you really can not even tell its there.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dscline:
Yes, mine seem to have gone away too, I guess they were part of the residue that the literature said would subside. I've also not really noticed any significant s-pen marks. I don't feel that it is (yet) quite as smooth as the phone's glass, especially with the s-pen (it does seem to drag a little), but I've had mine on for less than 24hrs, so that could still be part of the residue removing process they say will occur during the first couple days.

As long as it proves to be durable, I agree that it's a great choice. Very thin, fits perfectly, and affordable. I continue to be impressed by how imperceptible it is. You really have to look hard to see there's a screen protector there.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] side808:
Yup it's gone now. Writes and looks great. Love this glass protector.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Woolios:
Just wondering since I like as much glass as i can get on a protector the iloome premium looks like a good fit (not the FLEX). Just wondering if anyone knows the thickness of this glass?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] EillonCross:
I ordered the Glass.tr for my GN3 and can't wait for it to come in. I hate how the screen protector on my device now takes away from the "HD" look of the screen...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] slysir:
Got the iloome flex 2days ago.install was easy and all the bubbles were easy to remove.looks very good because of the thinness.the touch is definitely not as smooth glass, feels plastic my and makes slight rubbing noise as your finger slides.also after 2days the bottom right corner started to slightly lift.out it has about 1mm clearance to the front edge of the case.thinking about trying the 9h glass screen for the real glass touch.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] eduardmc:
very happy with bodyguard from ATT. never used other screen protector so i can't compared but i like the glass premium feel to it. no bublle or edges lifting. the home button is slightly below the glass it doesn't bother me, it feels natural now but will get a metal home button sticker when they come out. i cannot believe all this year i have been using film and water base screen protectors. they are crap compare to the premium feel you get from tempered glass.

if you thought zagg and those screen protector were hard to scratch. look at this bodyguard test video.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pkd600:
Your adhesive hasn't fully worn off. I have my Galaxy S3 with the bare glass (no screen protector) right next to my Note 3 with the iLoome Flex. I can not tell the difference between the two. Both are as smooth as glass.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nickscap:
The people at zero lemon were giving out test pieces a while ago and I was a recipient of one of those and I'm very impressed with the quality. I work in a dusty environment and I am constantly cleaning my phone and so far it has held up great. They are only 9.00 on amazon.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] vinokirk:
I always read about people using glass screen protectors.

I've always thought 'What happens if they smash?'.

Surely it would be hell to get off as they are glass.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sprintuser1977:
They do not shatter as you would think.

Just spider web splinter and you peel off. No pieces or shards. At least in my experience.

My friend had his tempered glass screen protector shatter. As other have mentioned it stays intact and was easy to remove. His screen was undamaged. I highly doubt a standard film type screen protector would have performed the same.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] 1slow4G:
first one i had cracked when I accidentally hit my phone's screen with my pickup's seat belt clip. Then I tapped it about 5-6 times with the same metal clip in purpose just to see how it would react. All it does is cracks in spider form, no pieces fall off.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] IcarusLSC:
Anyone using the Zagg Glass protector? I have one sitting here, just not put it on.

Never used a protector in my life and all my screens have stayed nice other a broken screen a couple times for different reasons, though I know a protector wouldn't have helped either time...

Kicking Deuce on the Beast, Note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] IcarusLSC:
I read the same, but wanted to hear of actual people using it. I've never used one so wanted some good input hopefully into why I should etc...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] The Benefactor:
I've had a Zagg glass protector on my Note 3 for the last couple of months - it is a game changer compared to the plastic-shield thing I had on there up until I switched to the glass.

No complaints, aside from the price. - I paid around $40 for it. Then I picked up a few xtremeguard glass protectors with the 85% discount coupon that floats around. Got 3 of those for $15, and they seem fine (although haven't used one yet).

Zagg has a nice feel, seems quite sturdy, beveled edges, and easy to install flawlessly.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] IcarusLSC:
I paid the same. I've never used any in the past though, plastic or glass. Guess if I don't like this one on it I can always peel it off...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] frd92:
Bad experience

I'm personally, trying few "Glass protectors", some of them stick off after a 2 weeks (Spigen) and after all - phone (GN3) with a "Glass protector" getting heavy like a brick.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kdoggamonus:
I got a random off ebay and it worked great for a while. However I'm not sure how it happened but it cracked in half. I took it off and got bored so I started to smash it with a screw driver while on a flat surface I did no damage at all. While on carpet, it easily broke which makes sense. I'm just curious as to how it cracked in the first place. Rocking nothing now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] apraetor:
The thin edge of the glass protector is the weak spot, particularly if it doesn't have beveled or chamfered edges.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Chocu1a:
I just installed my first glass screen protector today. Wow. It really makes a difference over a plastic protector.

I have tried so many different brands, both wet / dry, & this is like using nothing at all.

Went with the Skinomi Tech Glass.

Fit & finish is amazing. Nice rounded edges. Looks great in my Slim Armor case. S-pen just glides across the surface.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] neyenlives:
Yeah I keep telling people that...... They don't believe me until I hand them my phone and they think it's naked..... so I have to point out the fine edge of the protector..... Then they're impressed.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Beefheart:
I've had these on my phones for about two years now, there is no comparison between a glass protector and the crappy plastic ones. The best thing about them is that it feels like the phones actual screen, as if you haven't bothered with a protector at all, something a plastic one never can. I can't remember the brand of tempered glass I have on my Note 3 but I remember it was £10 and doesn't look any different now than the day I bought it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] vagabond67:
First time I tried these tempered glass protectors ever. I paid the equivalent of roughly $30 including the installation, as I didn't want to risk putting it on myself and messing it up. Best accessory I've bought for a device. Truly, the screen feels naked. Fingerprints do not accumulate as fast as with those film protectors. And wiping them off is such a breeze.

Now in thinking of getting it on my iPad Air, but they're just bloody expensive and so hard to find in my city.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] 1slow4G:
Try amazon
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Thumper_:
[MENTION=5706079]vagabond67[/MENTION] They are really easy to apply. Just make sure you dont loose hairs (i did it after i got my hair cutted. No joy ._. ) and clean the screen enough. as they are so stable its not hard to place it without bubbles.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] 1slow4G:
Yup very easy. Best results for me was in a steaming bathroom. Clean screen with alcohol wipe or microfiber cloth, align and lay it down slowly. Good thing you can lift up and try a few times after if needed.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] elektroda:
Well I finally got my nillkin glass if you could call it that way. I was too sloppy so I did not align it right, after that my trouble only gets worse. Further more I'm not sure how can this be reused since it's hard to clean it once it collects duct or hair and in the end looses static grip or glue (what ever it is)?

I'm also not impressed how tough it is. I manage to crack it in 15 seconds using scissors? Razor blade marks are also NOT invisible. At least now I know how much Force I can put on it until it breaks.

I kinda doubt that any other maker makes better product, I'll probably get one more again for 10$.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
Majority of the glass protectors sold in china are very similar, there are exception, with some better ones, but you need to know where to get them.

Majority of them are reusable, including the nillkins, just use cellotape to clean them up, i've done this many times, infact about 7-8 times, and using a pair of scissors to crack the glass is not consider normal, once you have the protector on the phone it does provide reasonable protector.

if you want a good protector search for glassview from korea, but expect 3 times the cost of the nillkins.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] neyenlives:
I have purchased and installed several of the Bear Motion brand, they are very cost effective. I prefer it's cutouts to other brands. It has one cutout on top that exposes the earpiece, prox, and light sensor, but covers the front facing camera preventing fingerprints and dust from getting on it. On the bottom it has a notch out for the bottom center button only. Instead of having the very narrow strip of glass that goes under the button. You don't need an extra piece to make the button raised with it. Had two Note 3's both get dropped on their screens over the last year. Both cracked the protector but the device screen itself was unscathed. It's only 10 bucks now on Amazon, they were 17 originally.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] spacegreyphone:
I applied glass4m glass protector, very good
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
Are you talking about glass4m or glass m, not too sure if it's a typo, the glass m is one of the most popular well know brand in china, thats if the product is authentic, as there are fake glass m protectors available.

The bodyguardz come with 3 cheap home button stickers. Why not use that while you wait for your aluminum button? I'm using a Note 2 aluminum home button on mine because I couldn't find any for the Note 3 yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] eduardmc:
Does the note 2 aluminum button fit? I notice is bigger than the 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Sam3gX:
It's a little bit bigger but fits just fine with the tempered glass.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
I have a package of them as spares just in case, but I have used them on my Galaxy Note 2 in the past and they work just fine with the S-Pen, and do not affect the device in anyway. They don't offer the same hardness against scratches and drops that the tempered ones do but for $7-8 for a 3 pack they are cheap enough when they get work you can just peel and put another one on.

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------

Sure. The tempered glass protectors offer superior protection against screen damage during every day use, drops, etc. In essence its as if you have a naked screen in terms of function and feel, but if you were to drop it or something hit the screen, the tempered glass protection takes the brunt of the force and spares your real screen underneath.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] keynith:
Ordered a zagg screen protector. I like em, but i might try a spigen later on if it interrupts the s pen feature too much

Sent from my Verizon Galaxy Note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] randpost:
I am about 2 days in with my iloome FLEX installed.

Overtime the surface has become smooth as glass as it is suppose to be. The protector fits perfectly and is thin like any plastic protector.

With all that said I hate the fact that they have no cutouts for sensors or camera. Even the pictures on their website and Amazon shows cutouts. So I expected cutouts. I have other glass protectors coming, but I wouldn't need to use them if this on had proper cut outs.
