Yes sir! Ordered. Will post first impressions upon installation.
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
Please do. I'm interested.
[Moto X Accessories] JoeDroid:
THANK GOD! I ordered an i-Blason on Amazon on Monday, but they've been back-ordered and it wasn't expected to ship until tomorrow. Canceled that and ordered the ghost glass instead. :)
[Moto X Accessories] it2swbrown:
Ordered mine too with 2-3 day expedited shipping.
[Moto X Accessories] Devans32:
Just ordered mine, Mime is by far the best there is
[Moto X Accessories] Coderedpl:
Going to wait for first impressions. Hopefully they'll all be good!
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
Do me a favor and quote me when you get yours please. :)
[Moto X Accessories] R3dbeaver:
subscribed.

looking forward to this as well. my Skinomi is a little too sticky for my taste. works fine day to day but gaming sucks. And it costs $20...
[Moto X Accessories] R3dbeaver:
Welp. I suck at being patient. Ordered the ghost one. Will arrive in Canada in 1 or 2 weeks.

Will review then.
[Moto X Accessories] it2swbrown:
Mine just got delivered.

Will be able to put in on in about 5 hours when I get home from work.
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
I can't wait! :D
[Moto X Accessories] chad24taylor:
Received and applied!

Easiest screen protector application I've ever had. I had zero bubbles during installation and my alignment was only slightly off. The glass itself is a little thicker than I expected, but it's by no means obtrusive. Glass seems to reject fingerprints fairly well and is super smooth to the touch.

Let me know if anyone has any questions, and sorry in advance for the picture quality - tough to get good shots of it.
[Moto X Accessories] it2swbrown:
I agree. Just got home and opened the package and had it installed in a few minutes. Will put up pictures later. No air bubbles at all. Sooooo simple. If it wasn't for the cut out up top I wouldn't even know it was there. Fits perfectly with my Cimo clear TPU cover as well.

Only thing is they for some reason don't include the temporary screen protector in case I have to replace the ghost glass.
[Moto X Accessories] JoeDroid:
Just applied mine, I agree that it is by far easier than other screen protectors. Super smooth to tue touch,and zero bubbles after installation. All cutouts line up perfectly. By far the best screen protector I've had. Worth the price.
[Moto X Accessories] stricklerjosh:
Is that the qmadix case with it? If so does it still have a lip? I know it is minimal right now, didn't know how much the screen protector added
[Moto X Accessories] Bionic22:
I just bought the case and I will edit my post to reflect my first impressions once I get it. :laugh:

EDIT: Received it today 1/21/14 and followed all the instructions. It looks great and feels like a second screen. So far, I like it.
[Moto X Accessories] chad24taylor:
It is the qmadix case & there is still a little lip.
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
So, when you place the phone face down, it's still lifted slightly off the table, correct? I have a Supcase and hope to achieve the same thing.
[Moto X Accessories] chad24taylor:
Correct. However, I put my Supcase on after installation and it looked to me like the Supcase came too far over the glass if that makes sense.
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
Not particularly. Mind taking a picture? The Supcase is my only case. If it doesn't work well with the Ghost, I guess I can't get it. :(
[Moto X Accessories] FSRBIKER:
Hi Installed the MimeUSA screen protector last night, is so nice to have your fingers glide over the screen again with no drag from a plastic protector. Fit is perfect with my Puregear case and should be with most cases unless it has a very big lip on the edge of the screen. The proximity sensor area is cut out with the speaker so that eliminates any issues. The mic hole is a tiny bit off center but it's big enough that it's not covered at all. Without peeling the protective film off I lined it up first then applied. Read their directions and don't press the protector down when first applying, mine is on perfect with no bubbles at all.

FYI Installed the Mime on my wife's Moto X and I didn't want to take any chances with lifting an edge. I used a dremel/sandpaper to smooth out the lip on her Seidio Surface case so it isn't as close to the projector.

Beamed from my Moto X
[Moto X Accessories] R3dbeaver:
Aaaargh. Now I can't wait for my Canadian delivery...
[Moto X Accessories] chad24taylor:
The lip of the Supcase is pretty substantial and actually covered the corners of the glass in some spots. I don't know if this would cause problems down the line or not.
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
Would you mind posting a picture?
[Moto X Accessories] :
Not usually a fan of screen protectors. At least the soft sticky ones, usually don't use one.

But this looks awesome....but...its so thick, I'm thinking it wouldn't work with my much needed otter box defender.

Damn.

[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
I hate to bother you, but do you mind posting a few pictures of the Ghost with the Supcase? You're the deciding factor in whether or not I purchase it.
[Moto X Accessories] chad24taylor:
Yeah man, sorry. I'll try to get you a shot tomorrow morning.
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
Thanks dood, I really appreciate it. :) Sorry for being pushy.
[Moto X Accessories] chad24taylor:
Alright, so upon reapplying the case, the overlap isn't as bad as I originally stated. It's hard to see in the pics, but the way I have the protector applied, just a tad of the corners is underneath the lip of the Supcase. Whether or not that will be a problem down the road in some way, I have no idea. The Air Grip case fits perfectly with the protector, which is showed in the first picture - the rest of the pictures are the Supcase.
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
That looks great. I don't think it will be a problem--silicone adhesive is strong stuff; plus, it's not like the case is moving on that part--it's pretty stationary.

Last question--when the case is face down, the glass doesn't touch the surface it's on, correct?
[Moto X Accessories] chad24taylor:
Correct.
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
Awesome stuff dood. I really appreciate the pictures. Thank you so so much. I'm ordering one now. :d
[Moto X Accessories] FSRBIKER:
You can always either use some sandpaper, knife or a dremel and round the inside corners of the case a bit to be on the safe side. The Seidio surface touched in the same spots on my wifes X, I didn't want to chance anything so rounded the corners some more.

This screen protector is so nice, my wife commented this morning on how slick her screen feels now.
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
I'd be terrified to do that. Besides, if it does become an issue--I can just get a replacement Ghost--maybe I'll even find a new case.

---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

Do you like the Qmadix? I'm thinking about getting one. How would you compare it to your Supcase?
[Moto X Accessories] FSRBIKER:
I think you misunderstood, I rounded the inside corners of the case not the glass. Very simple and took me a few minutes. I use a PureGear Griptek case and it fits perfectly, I think any tpu case will not touch the glass either.
[Moto X Accessories] nhizzat:
Any chance we can get a profile pic without a case on? I'd like to see how far the protector protrudes.

The matte protector I got from MotoMaker fits perfectly so I'm hoping to find something that fits the same.
[Moto X Accessories] Devans32:
I'll be getting mine in the mail today. I'll let you know how it goes with the otterbox
[Moto X Accessories] R3dbeaver:
Mine should be delivered either today or tomorrow. I don't have a case. Will take pic.
[Moto X Accessories] stricklerjosh:
The qmaddix case is awesome. Doesn't add much bulk
[Moto X Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
I miss the M divot, but otherwise I love my Qmadix case.
[Moto X Accessories] stricklerjosh:
Same here
[Moto X Accessories] Bionic22:
The one thing that has me confused about this case, is why they didn't make a hole for the front camera. Now I get lines going down when I use my front camera.
[Moto X Accessories] Devans32:
Perfect fit with the otterbox defender. Just pop out the screen protector that comes on the otterbox and you're good to go. It's a snug fit but not too tight. Smooth as glass now
[Moto X Accessories] :
Awesome. I usually hate all screen protectors....but actual glass sounds good. Wasn't giving up my defender for it tho. Thanks for the report! Gonna get it soon.

Let me know if any issues pop up tho....like defender popping open. LOL

Thanks again! And I took the cheap plastic screen protector out of my defender before I even put it on my phone. ;)

[Moto X Accessories] Devans32:
I'll keep you posted. And I HATE that piece of crap Otterbox calls a screen protector lol
[Moto X Accessories] :
Not sure why a premium case company would put such a thing on a case. Lol

[Moto X Accessories] Phobophobia:
For myself and many other users, the lines on photos taken by the front camera have been there since day one. Are you sure that they only just showed up?
[Moto X Accessories] Bionic22:
I do notice the lines on pictures taken before the protector, but the protector somehow made the lines more evident as you can now clearly see them on the image unlike before where you would need to zoom in to see such lines.
[Moto X Accessories] R3dbeaver:
huh? i never see any lines on my front cam pic....

no delivery today :(
[Moto X Accessories] DroidOnRoids:
Just got mine in the mail and I feel like I ordered the wrong thing lol Didn't realized this glass was so premium with premium packaging! :good:
[Moto X Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
Added a mini "review" with pictures here :)
[Moto X Accessories] :
Quick first impressions:

- This is the first glass screen protector I've used

- Packaging was nice, as was the over-sized dust removal sticker. One of the best removal stickers I've used - extremely tacky so it got off every bit of dust, oversized so you didn't have to be precise about placement, and came right off when it was time to apply the protector. Maybe not a good reason to buy a particular screen protector, but it's very welcome.

- The cut is not quite as precise as I was expecting. I first lined up the speaker hole in the middle of the cut-out in the glass, and when I set down the protector, it was definitely not centered. Fortunately, the adhesive is forgiving enough that I simply pried it back up, and set it down again - this time making sure to line up the bottom two corners, and then as I set it down on the screen, I watched the right hand edge to make sure it was aligned properly. This worked, though my microphone is not centered in the hole - no big deal, just an observation.

- I'm having no issues with the front camera (no lines in the images), and I tested a bit to make sure it wasn't interfering with the proximity sensor or anything. No problems. Responsiveness seems excellent, and it's a lot nicer to swipe on than the Skinomi plastic protector I was using.

- I've used a number of plastic screen protectors, including Zagg, Bodyguardz, generic brands, Skinomi and Spigen. I've never been happy with any of them except the Spigen Stenheil Ultra Crystal. Given a choice between the Ultra Crystal at less than half the cost (and including 2 protectors) and this, I would choose the Ultra Crystal - this feels nicer but I was happy enough with the Steinheil that the massive price difference would have been worth it. But Spigen isn't making an Ultra Crystal for the Moto X, so here we are.

TLDR; expensive, cut isn't perfect, but still very nice.
[Moto X Accessories] R3dbeaver:
Good to know.

The thing with Spigen though, since I'm in Canada, delivery cost included, they're not too far apart for me.
[Moto X Accessories] Bionic22:
How do you clean the adhesive? When I tried adjusting the screen protector because it was getting touched by my SUPCASE and making a bubble, dirt got underneath the adhesive.

I heard you can add rubbing alcohol but how exactly do I apply it in order to clean the dirt off?
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
Piece of tape.
[Moto X Accessories] GBpfan95:
I'm patiently waiting for mine to arrive. I really don't like cases, so this seems like even more of a necessity for me.
[Moto X Accessories] Cowboy_Henk:
I just find it dissapointing that the glass covers the proximity sensor, it's just plain ugly. The cutout is not in the middle now like the Iblason is

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5Vc7-oW87Q

I was waiting for the Mime Ghost for the Mime X
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
Huh
[Moto X Accessories] Cowboy_Henk:
Sorry didn't have time to finish my message.

I meant that the cutout at the top for the Iblason is only for the speaker grill and for the mime Ghost the cutout is for the speaker grill + proximity sensor. I think this is fine on a white moto x but on a black moto x, the cutout seems off (not in the middle)

Iblason ---> everything seems to be straight, also the top edges. Too bad it doesn't have rounded edges

Mime Ghost --> top speaker cutout + prox. sensor cutout but it's weird. I know that there is a prox. sensor but someone who doesn't know this will say, hmm why is the top cutout on the left side and not in the middle?

Also why don't the top edges of the screen protector don't follow the edges of the phone?
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
The iBlason had issues with the proximity sensor not working correctly. I'm sure MIME did the cutout like that to avoid the same issue. Also, those issues aren't showing up.
[Moto X Accessories] Cowboy_Henk:
Ok but the Moto X HAD those issues. They are resolved since the last firmware updates are they not?

I will buy a black moto x in europe when it comes out. I wanted a nexus 5 + mime ghost before, but now the moto x comes out in february I 'm buying the moto x. I'm just dissapointed the mime ghost is not what I expected aesthetically on a black moto x, because I know mime ghost is the best screenprotector. I just wished they only made a speaker cutout so that the cutout is in the middle of the top edge.
[Moto X Accessories] laur3n.newm4n:
Does anyone's Moto X with the MIME protector on it randomly kick on the Active Display while it's just sitting there on the table?
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
I'll give you an example.

I got my MotoX. I kept the factory screen protector on there until I got a better one; I had the factory one on my phone for a few weeks. About a week into it, phone calls wouldn't work properly--the proximity sensor couldn't detect when my phone was away from my face; because of this, I couldn't end phone calls. I removed the factory protector, and that fixed it. The iBlason had issues because it covers the sensor. I think it's better that it doesn't cover the sensor. I agree that it doesn't look as nice on a black MotoX though (mine). It doesn't bother me though, because it's an awesome protector.
[Moto X Accessories] laur3n.newm4n:
I have also heard that the white Moto X doesn't have the proximity sensor issues. Perhaps because of how the light reflects off it? I don't know. My white Moto X doesn't have proximity sensor issues with the i-Blason at any rate. I did get the MIME protector to try if/when my i-Blason protector chips or cracks.
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
I just installed the MIME. I gotta say, I don't like it. The fit is pretty crappy. It either goes a little over the top of the phone, or it goes over the bottom of the phone. It's super easy to peel it up at the corners due to the fit. It's honestly awful. It's really bumming me out.
[Moto X Accessories] laur3n.newm4n:
That is disappointing to hear. There were some pictures in another reply here and it looked like it fit well.
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
I know--that's why I got it. :( I emailed them. I doubt they'll give me a refund or anything. I might get the iBlason.
[Moto X Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
Mine fits perfect, took 2 tries though. See my thread.

Their customer service is awesome, they will probably work with you.
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
I know, your thread was what made me get it.

I've removed it enough to where it's bad now. It doesn't look nice anymore. I removed a perfectly installed protector for this. It's ruined my night, lol.
[Moto X Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
They will replace it free of charge, just email them. They are top notch in customer service :)
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
Lol, I'm not sure if I want a replacement. I've emailed them already--just waiting. :|

Edit: Also, it seems you can't use it well with a Supcase. That alone really ruins this protector for me. I love my Supcase :p
[Moto X Accessories] laur3n.newm4n:
Mine was delivered today. I was going to put it on right away, but I didn't. I got my i-Blason one on perfectly and didn't want to waste it. I've got the MIME one in a drawer until/if/when the i-Blason one cracks or something. I hope MIME will send you a new one!
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
Do you like the iBlason? Do you have a black motox?
[Moto X Accessories] laur3n.newm4n:
I like the i-Blason. I do have a white Moto X, though. I'd heard that there's less of an issue with the proximity sensor on the white ones than on the black ones. Sometimes when it's just sitting on the table and I haven't bumped the table, the active display will light up. I can't remember if that would happen without a screen protector on it though. I have not had any problems with it while in call. I only have the i-Blason because it was the only one out at the time that didn't cost $50. I'll take it off when it gets cracked or scratched badly, or the oleophobic coating wears off it and put on the MIME at that time. Depending on which I like better, I'll order another at that time to keep as another spare.
[Moto X Accessories] chaoslimits:
Black Moto X + iBlason. No issues with proximity sensor. If it doesn't work, take of your case and press down around the top edge; there may be a gap.
[Moto X Accessories] nhizzat:
Quite helpful when several people complain about the same fitment issues yet none post pics.

I bought a MIME too and it fits perfectly but this isn't gonna help anyone because I'm not gonna post any pics.
[Moto X Accessories] laur3n.newm4n:
To add to what you're saying, I think my saving grace for the proximity sensor issues was that there is just the teeny, tiniest bit of gap between the top lip where the glass meets the plastic and my screen protector. So my i-Blason sticks flat to the screen and isn't hung up on that little bit of raised lip. Pressing down on it after or lining it up to make sure the protector is flat on the glass and not resting on that raised edge is key.
[Moto X Accessories] nhizzat:
Not mine but from another thread, http://m.imgur.com/a/9gBCx

His seems to fit as would be expected.
[Moto X Accessories] R3dbeaver:
Now with pictures.

now with pics, bro.

yup. seems identical to mine. not 100% perfect, but its good enough with no noticeable loss in performance.
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
Yeah, your pics indicate exactly what I had. I would expect it to be a flawless cut for the price.
[Moto X Accessories] carock:
Same here. I was pretty disappointed at first and considered returning it, but after I put a case on, it didn't bother me anymore.
[Moto X Accessories] spartec:
MIME Experience

I originally had a ArmourSuit Military Shield, but I found the soft plastic was annoying it that it would get these small pressure dimples in the material that would not go away. Even running your fingernail on the material created a pressure scratch that would resolve to a small degree. It felt okay, but compared to the orginal glass it was not nearly as smooth. That prompted my to try the MIME.

For starters I would say the company has incredible delivery service. I ordered on a Saturday afternoon and 2 hours later I received a shipping notification. I don't even get that kind of turn around time from Amazon Prime. It finally arrived on Monday and got around to installing it yesterday.

Installation was easy and my screen was already pretty clean from the AS Military Shield. It went on without issue and no micro-bubbles or unsealed areas. Unfortunately, as has already been reported by a few folks here, alignment was off at the corners in the exact way that has been reported and shown by R3dbeaver (which makes me think that MIME needs to retool their glass cutter/shaper to take a milimeter or two off of the top right corner and a smidge off the top left). Nonetheless I find the feel and clarity to be a significant improvement over my previous protector.

Despite the fit issues I am extremely happy with the MIME. I have had no proximity or touch sensor issues and the glass feels super smooth to the touch. If you are looking for a glass screen protector I'd definitely recommend the MIME...unless you have OCD and not having the glass perfectly align will cause you undue anxiety.
[Moto X Accessories] FSRBIKER:
I think the concern some people have on the fit is due to the case they are using as without a case the protector fits perfectly. On my X with a PureGear Griptek case there are no fitment issues but on my wife's X with a Seidio Surface I noticed the case will contact the protector in the corners. Not wanting to take the chance of the protector lifting I used a dremel to trim back the inside of corners of the Surface case.

Looking at the overall size I think Mime could trim the corners of the protector a tiny bit more without affecting anything, that said I'm sure people will mention/complain it doesn't cover there entire screen. I'm am very happy I bought the Mime protector, there is no finger drag like a plastic protector has and it repels fingerprints extremely well.
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
I just wanted to say that MIME gave me a full refund. Very good customer service--I would totally buy from them again despite my issue. :)
[Moto X Accessories] laur3n.newm4n:
I'm considering returning mine and purchasing a spare i-Blason instead. Do I need to attempt to put on the MIME and take pictures to prove my dissatisfaction, or do you think I would just let them know that based on other's reviews, I'd like to return it? I opened the box just to make sure I received the correct product, but I haven't put it on yet.
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
If you haven't applied it, I wouldn't worry much. They'll definitely take it back and refund you if you haven't used it. Just be honest and it will work out
[Moto X Accessories] laur3n.newm4n:
Fortunately, even though I had opened the packaging, they're going to issue me a refund if I send it back. I don't think they understood that I hadn't actually applied it yet, because they asked for pictures of the fit.
[Moto X Accessories] Bionic22:
Which are you planning to get? The i-Blason?
[Moto X Accessories] natezire71:
Honestly, if I got another tempered glass protector... it'd probably be this one. Someone posted some pics and it doesn't appear to have any sort of overlap.

EDIT: Appears they are out of stock at the moment.
[Moto X Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
I just installed my MIME, and I, too, noticed it is cut a little more squarely than the actual screen. The only real issue seems to be a bit of overlap on the upper right corner, but my Qmadix cases still fit, so I'm not too worried about it. The protector looks and feels great otherwise.
[Moto X Accessories] :
I'm getting this soon...my defender will hide these fit issues. ;)

[Moto X Accessories] Vandyyy:
That's a bad link since they're out of stock. I currently use the Monoy and have no issues. There is a cutout for the front mic about the same size as the pictures of MimeUSA's.
[Moto X Accessories] Konno_Yuuki:
I ordered a MINE ghost glass protector for my Moto X earlier today. This will be my first tempered glass protector so I hope I put it on correctly but judging from what I've read and a few videos, it shouldn't be too difficult.
