Hey guys, here's a quick review of Nillkin 9h tempered glass :

- It is not really thick, but it LOOKS like glass, so it seems there is no screen protector. >> it looks great

- Corners are less rounded like others i saw in previous pages >> looks great

- One edge is smooth but not the other ; i think it is for easy removing because we can't grab the smooth one. I put the smooth in the bottom ; it is easier for unlocking gesture ; but the bad side is that i feel the edge when i open the status bar.

- Last i didnt noticed it first, but i saw later in my bin that there was protector circles for the 2 lenses ; IT DOES NOT ALTER PHOTO QUALITY

FINGERPRINTS : This is not catastrophic, but i have to clean it a bit one or 2 times a day. (it does not look that worst in real).

I bought it on ebay UK and received it in 6 days if i remember well (i live in france)

pS / For the ones who loves minimalistic design I use MUZEI live wallpapers that changes everyday. It is art paints that are blured.

ps2 / I use a cheap crystal clear hard cover about 10$ shipped, it is thin enough to keep the phone great looking but it does not protect top and bottom edges.

I hope it will help :fingers-crossed:

ps 3 / I can't post pictures but can send in MP.

Mine looks exactly the same once put on. Same fit, thickness, etc. A cheap $7 shipped eBay no brand name tempered glass rated at 9H and .3mm thick. I bought two since I've never installed one. First one had some bubbles so tried taking that part off and reapply like u can with plastic. It never re-applied right, these are literally one chance to be t it all right.

Second one I installed better just slightly to the right, not lined up perfectly. Styled me put my incipio duo case in 5min later and the top right corner started to come up. Quickly put pressure and it went back fine not leaving any bubbles.

If this one goes bad I think I'll get another as a cheap investment but also get the nilkin and install that one next. Not sure the bigger names are much better in overall quality but won't know for sure u til trying others down the road.
[One (M8) Accessories] Congo123:
" It never re-applied right, these are literally one chance to be t it all right. "

I Used tape to install it. I left on both adhesive plastic coverings (top and bottom) and lined it up perfectly with those plastic coverings still in place. I then taped with scotch tape to the body of the phone not touching the glass and to the top of the screen protector. I taped an entire vertical side. Then i lifted from the untaped edge, reached under and removed the underside plastic that says "1" on it and placed it down.

Thank you. So simple but so smart and effective looking. Will try next time!

I got that today, and put it on this evening, and I have to say I am very impressed! I first did a dry run apply to make sure I put it on as close to perfect as I could, then I ran a hot shower for a couple of minutes to keep any dust out of the air, then I wiped it with the included alcohol wipe, then the shammy, then I applied the blue, anti-static plastic piece several times as instructed to clear any dust particles, then some compressed air to make sure it was flawless, lastly, I applied it and it went on it easily and all bubbles quickly disappeared as I pressed down on it. For 9 bucks, you really can't go wrong with this one, and I really can't see how some of these companies are charging, 20, 30 and more for them. The included accessories inside of the Mobile Pioneer just about matched the Nillkin, I have a feeling there are 2 or 3 companies making these, and each of these resellers then buy them and put them in their own packaging with their branding, a lot like what goes on with the cases.

Anyway, I hope this helps in making a decision on the tempered glass protectors.

Edit-A case fits on fine as well, no problems there, and Mobile Pioneer actually recommends a case to help protect the edges.
[One (M8) Accessories] Zomb!e:
Was curious how the Mobile Pioneer was. I ordered a no name brand from eBay but I think I'll pick up the Mobile Pioneer as a backup or in case I mess up the install.
[One (M8) Accessories] xPhantom:
Mobile Pioneer looks pretty good. The customer photos on amazon make it look like it covers the screen all the way from the very top edge to the very bottom edge. The Nilkin still leaves a TINY bit exposed on the edges, but not enough to make it a big deal.
[One (M8) Accessories] Nippero:
So I finally got my MIME Ghost yesterday, and it somehow already has a scratch on it....

The edges also look oddly dirty... Not sure why...

Its not under the glass either or else it would cause bubbles.
[One (M8) Accessories] jags_the1:
That scratch could have been on your screen. So it already is doing its job. Be optimistic
[One (M8) Accessories] Nippero:
lol I suppose thats one way to think about it.

Its just surprising. Gah
[One (M8) Accessories] mfractal:
[MENTION=292742]californiarailroader[/MENTION] are the edges rounded and curved on this one ? looks very tempting
[One (M8) Accessories] SimonCraddock:
I purchased a 'Ultimate Shield' glass shield off ebay for £9.99.

Went on really easy, no bubbles and feels really slick in use.
[One (M8) Accessories] Mike02z:
The MIME for my M8 came today. Installed it in my bath room with a hot shower running to reduce dust. Still had 2 micro specks but other wise, went on easily. My edges picked up some dirt from a cleaning cloth. It cleaned up easily though.

Fit is near perfect. I probably have a 1 mm gap at the top and it's perfect at the bottom. My guess is they probably allow .05 mm per side and I just nailed the bottom perfectly.

Feel is what I expect from MIME. Does not even feel like you have a protector on.

My MIME M7 Ghost Glass went on perfectly and did not have one dust speck. The 2 specks I have on the M8 are very tiny but they will probably drive my OCD crazy at some point.:D

Off topic but I also got my MIME Ghost Glass for my Note 12.2. That was a bit trickier to get on just due to it's sheer size. Somehow a hair got under it near the edge. Was able to get it out with a needle and even that is near perfect after having to lift it to remove the hair.
[One (M8) Accessories] fredrick1213:
After spending 3 days with my Spigen glass protector, I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed. It already has 2 scratches on it. Other than that, though, it's great
[One (M8) Accessories] flar2:
I also installed the Mime ghost glass this week. I've been using Phantom Skinz wet apply screen protectors but decided to try tempered glass this time.

I love the feel of the ghost glass, it's very smooth and more finger print resistant than the phone's screen. The fit is perfect and the edges are smooth and rounded. The only problem is it adds noticeable thickness to the phone and dust is collecting along the top and bottom edges by the speakers.

It's a really tough choice, but I think I will return to Phantom Skinz next time. The feel is not as nice as tempered glass, but the added thickness bothers me more than I thought it would. I've also ordered the Seidio Surface case and I'm a bit worried it won't fit well with the glass.
[One (M8) Accessories] GermanGuy:
The surface is a tight fit with the mime ghost glass. You have to carefully slide the 2 pieces of the case onto the phone while applying pressure from the back otherwise you lift up the glass. After all is done it does look a little uneven but works. This is the first time I am using glass and I was indeed a little surprised by the thickness. I do really like it though.
[One (M8) Accessories] andrewnelson:
I ordered one from Amazon. and hope will get soon.
[One (M8) Accessories] aer0zer0:
Got the iloome 9h tempered in the mail, it's kinda thick, but sensitivity. I have a class 100 clean room to my disposal, so I used that in conjunction with the hinge method to apply the glass. Came out dead on. It smooth as can be and seems to be a quality protector. I'm satisfied with it. 24.99 from iloome with free shipping
[One (M8) Accessories] californiarailroader:
They are, it feels and looks as good as the Nillkin's.
[One (M8) Accessories] twistmycap:
Zagg glass screen protector

I honestly love the glass screen protectors from them. Had one on my iPhone 5s

They as many other glass screen protectors will show scratches over time pending on the viewers angle

Another nice thing is that, these don't effect the screen quality at all.

I heard rumors of the dot view case not working with these installed. Gonna verify that today with pics
[One (M8) Accessories] chivamex10:
I bought an impact shield for my galaxy s5 at t-mobile and was super impressed. Its not glass, but IMO works better because it absorbs impact and is self healing. I nicked my s5 and the scratch went away the next day. Another thing I like is that its not as thick as glass. I'm in the process of exchanging mine because I returned my s5 for the htc m8 and I was happy to see that they have the shield on their website. http://www.tech21.com/htc-one-m8-screen-protector/

I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for something more durable and thinner than glass.

Hopefully t-mobile starts carrying them in their stores soon.
[One (M8) Accessories] Mike02z:
I dunno. Once you go glass, it's hard to look back. Just feels like it's supposed to. Of course, that's just my opinion.
[One (M8) Accessories] rogsoccerman:
Mime feather glass in stock! Go get em and review it for me!
[One (M8) Accessories] ULAMSS5:
I also just installed a Nillkin glass protector. Seems pretty good, application was easy. But then again this is my first and only experience with tempered glass screen protectors, so I don't know how good other brands are.

However, I could not, for the life of me, figure out how to install the camera lens protectors. None of the sides were adhesive, and there weren't any instructions.
[One (M8) Accessories] b0gd4n:
just installed the Samar glass (6 pounds delivered on Amazon). http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JBNV8WQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Used the hinge method and I managed to install it spot on! Did get a couple of very small dust particles under it, but nothing that bothers me!

The feel is absolutely incredible! Also the edges are more rounded than the Spigen ones. Feels incredible!

One thing I don't relly like is that it seems to gather oil residue, but it is probably cause it is new. Will see how it will turn out after a few days.

All in all, for 6 pounds, I can't but strongly recommend this!
[One (M8) Accessories] LLeWoJ:
Got this reply from Mime regarding the feather glass :D

Thank you for reaching out to us about this! Our M8 Feathers are currently under development, and our best ETA estimate is at the end of this month, or the first week of May.

Best,

MIME
[One (M8) Accessories] Nekromantik:
Which is easier to apply? MIME Feather or Spigen?
[One (M8) Accessories] rogsoccerman:
Like I said last page the feather is in stock now :)
[One (M8) Accessories] Jr6278:
Has anyone got the nilkin camera protector to stick the screen part is awesome but the lens cut outs are plastic material
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
Yeah there's a plastic cover on one side you have to peel off to uncover the sticky part.
[One (M8) Accessories] xPhantom:
I did not have any problems with the camera protectors. They came adhered to a rectangular piece of plastic, so that means the side that was adhered was the side that goes on the lens.
[One (M8) Accessories] Jr6278:
I think I messed up the lense part but screen I got perfect. I'm really bad at installation. I have the nilkin paired with the maverick uag probably the best combo so far. I've ordered spigen, beetle, incipio, casemate and commuter none are even close
[One (M8) Accessories] SDC_Bolts:
i-Blason .2 mm tempered glass, my first glass protector, cheap and didn't disappoint. Using with i-Blason TPU frost clear and love the combo. $25 for both. I will definitely stay with tempered glass from now on.
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Ordered. 7-10 days delivery though. Outside US.
[One (M8) Accessories] Andrew725:
Not sure if anyone has answered this yet, but yes, it works out pretty well. The plastic frame is pushed out a bit but in my case it actually stopped the creaking of the frame, do to it now being more snug.

You just have to be careful when putting the frame on, there's a possibility of the Zagg lifting up if you don't apply the frame evenly.

Overall the Zagg glass is my favorite by far. It's nice and thick with rounded edges, plus it has a lifetime warranty/replacements. It's initially more expensive than most, but knowing I can get it replaced without having to pay for another one is big. Plus it's a high quality glass for sure.
[One (M8) Accessories] Michealtbh:
Does the warranty cover scratches?
[One (M8) Accessories] californiarailroader:
I ordered one of the Mime Feather Glass protectors this morning, $27.95, no tax (I'm in California, MIME is in New York) and free 2-5 day shipping, I will report back when I get it.

[One (M8) Accessories] Mike02z:
I'm going to order another MIME M8 protector with my 40% off coupon. I have 2 tiny dust specks under my original that are driving me crazy.

I did everything right. I installed in a humid location (bathroom) with hot water running to keep dust down. I cleaned the screen perfectly then used the tack piece to ensure no dust was left on screen. The protector itself must have picked up these specks from the time I peeled the backing off to the time it hit the phone which was a matter of seconds :(
[One (M8) Accessories] Andrew725:
Yes, it covers scratches. More specifically, the wording is "Scratched, broken or damaged". From a full disclosure perspective I haven't tried igetting a warranty replacement myself, but I've heard good things about the process. There are two caveats, though. First, you have to pay for shipping and handling, so it isn't completely free. Also, you have to register your product/email with Zagg, which might lead to spam (I receive an occasional zagg sale email from them).
[One (M8) Accessories] thekalby:
Whats the difference between the Mime feather, and Mime? I see its thinner, but does that come with any down sides? Is it less strong than the normal one. Additionally, is it also finger print resistant?

Also how do the Mimes compare to the Zagg? Toughness, finger prints, thickness, etc?

How about the Skinomi glass? That one is much cheaper. How does it compare as well?
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Seven questions! Blimey! LOL

Well I can answer one or two.

1) Difference is the thickness. I don't think much else changes but I would imagine that thinner equals less impact resistance compared to thicker.

2) As above.

3) Until I get mine I can't say with certainty but I don't see why it would be any worse for finger prints then the Ghost Glass. Most of these glass protectors are anti fingerprint.

Rest, I have no idea sorry!
[One (M8) Accessories] BygSii:
Well crap. This is a M8 thread so I read your post and ordered without thinking. Come to find out this is for the M7 and I have the M8. Now I gotta figure out how to cancel my order... Sad face

I am a newb to tempered glass protection on phones. What is the benefit of putting one on my One ? What do they do ? Stop the phone screen from cracking when dropped ?
[One (M8) Accessories] GermanGuy:
More of a better user experience as opposed to protection. Feels like a regular screen when you glide your fingers across. But probably also protects the screen a bit more than your regular screen protectors.
[One (M8) Accessories] graffixnyc:
Got the nillkin today... Love it!
[One (M8) Accessories] OGhoul:
I don't know if this will work with the Mime as my Spigen Glas.Tr Nano Slim is thicker (despite the ridiculous name...), however:

I've been able to remove and reinstall my Spigen several times now, and here's how:

Use an Xacto knife with a fresh, clean blade to slowly peel a corner up. Once you get enough up to grasp with your fingers, do so and slowly pull the protector off, holding on the edges of the glass.

Using clear packing tape, lay it on the sticky side of the screen protector, and peel it off carefully. Repeat until you've cleaned the entire adhesive side. Use a microfiber cloth to clean your screen, and repeat the packing tape process.

At this point, you can reinstall. I've had 100% success with this. You can take even further precautions by doing it in a steamy bathroom.
[One (M8) Accessories] DangerousDave:
Ordered one sold by PThink from Amazon @ $12.90 looks like exactly the same packaging...bummer could have gotten it cheaper.

That aside I found it went on very easily ( used the tape hinge method ).

It has nice rounded edges.

Feels really smooth and does not seem to impact touch sensitivity.

Does not seem to attract fingerprints ( so far.)

So far I am really impressed - the first tempered glass protector I have used and I would not hesitate to buy another one.
[One (M8) Accessories] an0ther:
I have the zagg tempered glass on my m8. It is simply amazing. Crystal clear and easier to slide on than factory screen. Steep price of $40 but well worth it in my opinion. It has lifetime warranty too. I took extreme care when putting it on and i have absolutely no trash behind it. I am also using the aintree green spigen slim armor with it. Its a nice setup in my opinion.
[One (M8) Accessories] MeatyCoins:
I purchased around 4 cheap $5-$6 ebay ones but they all get this wet look around the edges that bothered me...went for the nilkion one ...waiting for it
[One (M8) Accessories] julex1:
I got my nilkin last night and installed right away... I am blown away. The screen looks totally like a brand new phone without any protector, super duper slick glass.

I tried to score a corner with a knife and with moderate pressure no scratch was left - I am a believer! Best protector hands down I've ever had.
[One (M8) Accessories] mrpickem:

Definitely a superb product for a great price, living my phone with cruzerlite case too.
[One (M8) Accessories] DemonLover:
Don't think there are big difference between tempered glass protectors for most of them are made in China and share the same kind of material, just have some difference on package and promotion, someone mentioned the ultrathin glass guard 0.3mm with 8H hardness, and someone may speak out their tempered glass with 10H hardness and the thickness is only 0.5mm, but if there are some material difference ? so, I would go for a $3.00 glass guard and surely it will do the same performance as those $30.00 ones.Trust me!
[One (M8) Accessories] Michealtbh:
This arrived today and it isn't a Nillkin at all, just a generic tempered glass screen protector. It's still a decent price for what it is and I think I'll keep it but I'm going to complain to the seller anyway to see what happens.
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Well my MIME Feather arrived today direct from MIME. Not a bad turnaround really considering it came from the USA to GBR. Shipped 29th April and arrived 3rd May.

This is replacing the Nillkin I had on the screen basically nothing against the Nillkin but it didn't play nice with the Dot View case flap. Otherwise the Nillkin was superb.

Anyway the MIME feather is noticeably thinner and does play nice with the Dot View case.

Application was equally as easy as it was putting the Nillkin on, which was super easy.

In terms of what it does, it does well. Both MIME and Nillkin do a superb job of protecting the screen.

The only real difference I would have to admit is the MIME doors seem slightly more susceptible to fingerprint smudges then the Nillkin. But only a minor amount. Neither are completely anti-fingerprint.

It may seem futile but can someone post a pic of that Nilkin? I've got the Zagg tempered glass edition which looks great except for one damn corner that won't stay down. Anyone else try the Zagg?

I've got the zagg on mine. I've had it so far for 3 says and I love it. Can't believe i went so long within out it.
[One (M8) Accessories] chobie:
Fix it by using those black paper binders and put a thin microfiber cloth in between them. Clip on the edge of your phone to press down on the screen. Leave it for a few hours till you flat out the air pockets. Works for me all the time.
[One (M8) Accessories] boofhead:
just got my mime feather and ghost glass protectors today. installed the feather first. installation was extremely easy even though it was not quite straight at first. feels exactly like the naked glass. in all honestly i will probably forget i have a protector on there and will cry like a girl if i get a scratch thinking is is the actual screen. never seen a clearer protector.

I thought I'd chime in on this rather excellent thread to pop up a brief review of the Samar tempered glass protector.

Pros:

- Went on exceptionally easily, using the "hinge" method. No bubbles, adheres well, and doesn't have any residual glue around the edges.

- Bevelled, so nice and smooth at the edges.

- Pretty thin - looks like it should work with the majority of cases. I'm not sure of the exact thickness unfortunately.

- Covers the entire screen with no gaps.

- Came with an included microfibre cloth and a sticky blue thing for removing dust.

- Very, very clear. No noticeable effect on screen quality or brightness.

- No noticeable effect on touch sensitivity.

- Appears to be very resistant to scratching - allegedly 9H hardness.

Cons:

- Not the best for fingerprints, but easily cleaned with a microfibre cloth.

- Pretty reflective. Only an issue in direct sunlight.

Overall I'm very pleased with it - it only cost me about £6, and that was including delivery via Amazon, which I regard as a really good price for what appears to be a very good quality protector.

I got the nillkin one and it's awesome but I scratched the adhesive and on the side it doesn't stick that well, any way I can correct this minor imperfection?

(was pretty easy to apply btw, just lay it on the screen after removing dust and it just goes on automatically)
[One (M8) Accessories] KentuckyHouse:
Thank you for the review and the great pictures! I've been thinking about picking up a glass screen protector but I worried it wouldn't work with my SupCase. However, I see you've got the SupCase on your M8 and this works just fine! Excellent!
