The 2 post above this lays out a really informative step-by-step installation process for *any* screen protector. (Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2DGSQLMR8HBAL)

Just a few additions from me:

• I usually have an air canister (that thing people use to blow dust from inside their PCs) next to me. It helps. And a bunch of masking/painters tape. Those tape are awesome, they're not too sticky, but enough tact to lift any unwanted debris. I'd pre-cut 2-3 small strips of tapes, and just leave 'em hanging on the edge of a table; just in case I need one.

• Sometimes I turn my screen on during the entire installation process, and project a solid white image on the screen (or any bright/light colour). This helps to find any unwanted debris, so you can remove them before the final installation process.

• I don't recommend the "hinge" method when installing glass screen protector. It's not all to reliable; too many factors that can cause the alignment to shift.

• Having said that, as long as you've got the display covered…you should be pretty happy! Don't stress out minor misalignment, focus more on preventing any debris/dirt getting stuck underneath the glass

• While it's not entirely true once a glass screenie is stuck onto a display it can't be taken off, I recommend *NOT* taking it off and on like it's plastic. A glass screenie can be taken off and on again, without making it seem shoddy if you're gentle. This is assuming before you do the final press on the screenie. The adhesive on these glass screenie leaves a small margin for error.

• Also, judging from my past experience installing a MIME glass on the M7, the M8 would be just as easy! The shape of the screen & glass screenie is super straight forward. I'd start aligning with the top edge (or bottom) of the glass screenie, to the top edge of the phone's black bezel. Once you've made sure you've got the top edges aligned & centered, you can place the glass screenie down. Turn on your screen & do a final check if there's any remaining unwanted debris before you do the final press.

Orderd nillkin. This will be my first tempered protector. To date I've been using that super stretchy film that took care of keys etc trying to kill my screen pretty well.

Anyone that is interested in the Zagg screen protector, check out the Mobilefun website, it seems that it is cheaper there than on the Official Zagg website.
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Fitted one of these Nillkin ones to my M8 and I have to agree that these are a top quality product for a fraction of the price of more well known rival products. The screen feels even smoother then it does without a protector! Clarity is exceptional too. Really pleased with this screen protector.
[One (M8) Accessories] xPhantom:
Don't the Nilkin ones also come with little protectors for each of the cameras on the back?

Ive used both iloome and mime. The iloome i had scratched very easily. Nothing compares to the mime feather glass. Just waiting for it to release.

I have to agree, as an employee, we have already reported this numerous times, and are trying to get the product pulled and replaced with a standard non speaker grill covering one. the M8 is just not fully flush. So Don't... YET... get one from VZW until it is a new design.

Anyone know the thickness of the Nillkin?

It hinders the closing of the DotView case. Its not awful, just mildly irritating.

Wondering if the above would be a better choice.

Edit: think the Nillkin is 0.33 thick. So the above is a good 50%+ thinner!
[One (M8) Accessories] californiarailroader:
According to their web site, the Nillkin is .3 MM thick, or 0.011811 inches thick.
[One (M8) Accessories] Nippero:
So is there really a good reason to pick the Ghost Glass over the Feather Glass?

I think I want the thinner one to preserve the minimalistic look of my M8. The full sized glass protectors look like they'd be pretty noticeable..
[One (M8) Accessories] regalpimpin:
The ghost glass will have rounded edges. So while it's thicker it feels smoother running your thumb across it.

The feather doesn't have the rounded edges, so you feel it.

Most noticeable pulling down the notification tray.

Although at some point they'll probably have the feather+ which does have the rounded edges.
[One (M8) Accessories] Nippero:
Did not realize that.. Also looked up some general feather reviews, seems like it really is a lot more fragile.

Just ordered the ghost.

Skinomi introduced a new product line of tempered glass screen protectors has anybody tried them? I bought 2 this morning and let you guys know how they are once I get them:)
[One (M8) Accessories] californiarailroader:
Well, it came today, the protector went on without issue following their instructions and using the shower method, it looks great! Speaking of instructions, theirs are a bit wonky, the Chinese to English translation suffered a bit, but I figured it out :D The thickness seems just right to me, any thinner and I think it would be too weak.

Orzly HTC One M8 Glass Screen Protector

Hi All,

Has anyone checked this one out from Orzly:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Orzly%C2%AE-Tempered-Protective-Protector-SmartPhone/dp/B00J99QBZ6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1397562163&sr=8-3&keywords=htc+one+m8+glass+screen+protector

There's a video for it too if you want to have a look, looks pretty solid to me and doesn't look like it has much thickness to it either.

[One (M8) Accessories] Edcar445:
Yeah no problem I'll post here once i get them in the shipped today so hoping to get them real soon within the next couple days. The glass is suppose to be .33mm so I'll post a couple pictures once i get them in

How much dose the avg glass screen protector cover?( pics please) thinking about taking the plastic screen protector out of my defender case and using a glass one but don't want the case to mess with the glass screen protector. Kinda wanting to wait for a tridrnt kraken case. Another way I could go is use another case with a glass screen protector that didn't come with a built in screen protector.

Nilkin Glass Protector

Another thumbs up for the Nilkin glass protector. This is my first glass protector after using spigen ultra crystal exclusively on all my devices for the last few years. This is significantly better in every way. Fits perfect and also easier to apply than normal screen protectors. Fitting in steamy bathroom worked a treat too. The bevelled edges make the transition from the speaker grill to screen less jarring too.
[One (M8) Accessories] itsachirpthing:
+1. I have the same one and I was pleasantly surprised. Very nice and great build quality. Camera cut outs equally great. Fits on both of my spiegen cases. Good buy in my opinion.
[One (M8) Accessories] vari9:
Do the camera cut outs hinder the quality of photos snapped from the device?
[One (M8) Accessories] californiarailroader:
Not yet, but I'll take some and post up today.
[One (M8) Accessories] Michealtbh:

Spigen Glass Short - Anyone else have this problem?

Spigen® HTC One M8 Screen Protector Glass [GLAS.tR NANO SLIM] (0.23mm) Thin Lightweight Rounded Edge Tempered Glass Screen

My screen saver arrived today and it's short. No matter how carefully I try to align there's screen uncovered. I can center it, then there's a black line both ends of the screen. Anyone else have this problem? I've emailed Spigen and am awaiting an answer from them. I'm pissed, as much as this costs I expect fit.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tazz.:
Has anyone purchased either the Nilkin Tempered Glass Protector or the Spigen Glass Protector?

I want to purchase them but scared if they aren't that great.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
Read the thread. A bunch of us got the Nillkin.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tazz.:
Was hoping to weed out reviews of both. Kind of hard to surf through 13 pages of feedback.

Edit: From all that I've read so far, I can see that Nilkin has mostly won over everyone's hearts. It comes with the screen protector as well as protectors for the two back cameras. I guess I will be purchasing these when purchasing my M8 with an Otterbox Commuter.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
Good choice! Love mine.
[One (M8) Accessories] pham077:
I tried nilkin, worth it for $15.. feels better than the actual glass.... SGP should be better, but I'm not sure $40 better

Just got my mime ghost glass and man does it feel smooth. Installation was a breeze however I messed up and got a piece of hair underneath the glass.
[One (M8) Accessories] b0gd4n:
can anyone please give me a honest opinion on which glass protector is best?

I don't care about the cost, all I care about is quality!

I have had the Spigen one before and was pleased with it. However, I see that people like the Nilkin and MIME ones.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tazz.:
From what I've read Nilkin seems to be the best. People are saying that it's smooth and comes with two covers for the back cameras. Also the best bang for your buck.
[One (M8) Accessories] Andyw2100:
Really? I had never used a glass screen protector before, and had read everything in this thread before buying, and the conclusion I had reached was that if price was not a concern, as the poster you are responding to above states it is not, that Mime Ghost Glass was probably considered the best.

I guess it could be six of one...half a dozen of another.

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------

Sorry to hear about the hair. My Ghost Glass came in yesterday's ,mail too. It's my first glass screen protector, and I'm planning on installing it today, but I'm apprehensive about it. What did you do once you figured out you had a hair underneath? And if I may ask, do you know how it happened?

Thanks!
[One (M8) Accessories] ChrisNee1988:
I just applied my Nilkin screen protector, I have a smallish air bubble and a group of tiny bubbles. Anyone know of a way to get rid of them? I've tried applying pressure to push out the bubble but they aren't moving. I'm afraid taking it off will make it worse.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tazz.:
I said Nilkin because it seems to be cost efficient and the reviews seems to lean towards that.

Try using a squeegee or a rubber card to push out the bubbles.
[One (M8) Accessories] wilflare:
does anyone have a PlayStation Vita? I haven't found a Vita-specific glass SP.. but it seems like the glass SPs for the HTC One M8 would fit... seeing it is 5inch and thin bezel :X
[One (M8) Accessories] b0gd4n:
Thanks for the replies.

I know that Nilkin has the 2 extra protectors for the back cameras, which are nice, but I am more interested in the quality of the front glass, such as the thickness, feel and, more important, the long run resistance, such as chipping and bubbling.

I know that the Spigen one is 0.23 mm. What about the MIME and Nilkin?
[One (M8) Accessories] StarfishP:
So there actually wasn't hair underneath my screen. It just looked like one. After a day with the install small marks underneath the glass disappeared. Just make sure you leave small bezel showing on all 4 edges of the screen. It doesn't fully fully cover the entire screen
[One (M8) Accessories] oconnell84:
I usually go with Spigen but $39 on amazon is absurdly over priced. Best to wait for a sale. I just ordered the MIME Ghost glass off their site for $24.99 with free shipping. The rounded edges is a key feature with glass.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
The Nillkin has rounded edges too. Feels great. I'd say the warranty is the key feature for the MIME.
[One (M8) Accessories] oconnell84:
I was wondering that but I can't seem to find that in their description on Amazon. Can you provide a link? Thanks

Anyone have the MIME Ghost Glass and the Dot View case? I am wondering if the flap on the case closes all the way with the glass on. Also curious to know if the gestures on top of the case still work with the glass in between.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
I have the Nillkin. It definitely has rounded edges. The transition between phone and screen is smooth, doesn't catch or grab my finger.

" 2.5D edging craft make the film fit the screen easily, combine the film and phone body better. At the same time, there will no risk to hurt our hands in the process. It creates perfect edges; make the film thinner, clearer and safer."
[One (M8) Accessories] Nippero:
I ended up getting the MIME Ghost instead of the Nillkin for two reasons:

1. The Nillkin site looks terrible and is written in broken english. This makes me worry about the quality of their customer service.

2. The price difference was like $4 after considering shipping for both of them.

It was supposed to arrive yesterday but the US Post Office is terrible and I have no idea where the thing is right now. Checked my mail for today and there's nothing.

Good Friday/Easter isnt a federal holiday is it?
[One (M8) Accessories] Tazz.:
Does the Nilkin screen protector cover just the glass or the whole front of the phone?
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
Just the glass. The only one that covers the entire front is the one that Verizon sells.
[One (M8) Accessories] b0gd4n:
what are the thickness of the glasses?
[One (M8) Accessories] THATTON:
I've used Spigen, Bodyguardz and Zagg Glass. The Zagg glass seems to be the nicest around because all of the edges are tapered and smooth. The Bodyguardz are very rough and sharp.
[One (M8) Accessories] hxdrummerxc:
I just picked up the Zagg glass at best buy.

I gotta say it's really nice. I have yet to see a single fingerprint on it.

Somehow I messed one of the corners up when installing it though. I think a piece if dust got trapped. Then I tried to fix it and it's a little noticeable. Nothing bad.

The only other thing I noticed is it seems to collect dust along the edge of the top. Like some of the adhesive is exposed and the dust is stuck.

Anyone using a case with the Nilkin or other tempered glass protectors? I have a Supcase Beetle case and I'm wondering if it will lift up the protector.

[One (M8) Accessories] Michealtbh:
Pretty much considering how cheap tempered glass is now (this Samar is only £5 http://amzn.to/1mo1MWl and gets great reviews), and the fact that tempered glass feels so much better.
[One (M8) Accessories] californiarailroader:
I don't think we're quite there yet, the plastic ones can be reused several times, whereas the glass ones lose their sticky ability after only one pull up, so with glass you get one or two chances, with no wiggle room. Also, even though glass protectors have come down, plastic ones can still be bought much cheaper, even in bulk. I love the Nillkin on my M8, so I agree they are better, but those two issue will keep them from overtaking glass for a while I think.
[One (M8) Accessories] nickhowell25:
I just was able to get a sweet deal on a Zagg "glass" screen protector. It is of course more than your average protector, but it is definitely worth it. The protector feels so good when using it and feels just like the actual screen.
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
I'm sorry but I have to disagree with the bold statement. I've had countless screen protectors of the traditional kind over the years and the times I've attempted to reuse one it has never been possible to a satisfactory finish. It's fairer to say, they're made for a one time only application however can potentially be reused with varying results.

To be fair though, it's not generally an advertised feature of plastic protectors.
[One (M8) Accessories] uscool:
Hi, why would you want to reuse it ? i never reuse screen protectors, once you try to take it off its just makes it worse if was about getting dust, i only take off protector once its scratched otherwise just keep it on

i been using plastic screen protectors for while, i tried my first tempered protector 0.23mm and got it on first time no dust , bubbles very happy, its so much better to use feels like the original screen, and more protection from a fall
[One (M8) Accessories] deeznuts:
My wife's Verizon tempered glass lasted about 3 weeks on her new iPhone 5s before the bottom left corner completely came unstuck and looks like crap now.

I just think once you go glass you don't go back, completely different feel and a fraction of the prints plus actual hard protection, win win across the board!

To test it out though bought some cheap ones on ebay for $7 shipped with all the same specs as Nillkin and Mime. Will found out soon if you're just paying for the name or not in this biz! Only .32mm thick

[One (M8) Accessories] californiarailroader:
I'm just pointing out they can be reused, as compared to the Glass ones that are a one shot deal. They also give you more chances to reset it if you make a mistake when putting it on the first time. I like the Glass ones better too, I have a Nillkin on my HTC One M8 and it's awesome!

I agree. Like I said to the previous poster-

I think eventually they'll invent a glass or something so durable, it won't need a protector, think Clear Aluminum in Star Trek IV, the Voyage Home, my FAVORITE Star Trek Movie by the way.
