I am also very interested in the Feather glass.

I currently have the Samar one and it really is nice. I absolutely love the rounded edges. I have a Spigen Glas tr on an iPhone and comparing the samar one to the Spigen, the edges are sooo much more curved and smooth on the Samar. really nice!

The only grip I have with it is the thickness. I think it is 0.23mm however, I cannot find any sign of the thickness written on the packaging, just mentioned on Amazon.

I was wondering, as the MIME Feather is 0.15mm, how are the edges? I cannot seem to find any reference to them being curved anywhere...

Care to post any pics with the edges anyone that has the Feather?
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
I'm looking at it on my M8 now trying to get an answer for you and I honestly would need a magnifying glass to be sure! I don't think they're rounded on the Feather. But to be honest, it's so thin it would be a) technically tricky to round off such a thin edge b) can't say I notice it on my fingers at all. This thing is almost as thin as a traditional screen protector.

It's a fair trade off for me. I'll forego the rounded edges for the thinness and it's compatibility with the DotView Case. 0.15mm is probably the maximum thickness you could get away with when using it with the DotView (or potentially any other folio cases with no physical closing/locking mechanism).

How are these tempered glass screen protectors to install? I've always hated installing screen protectors because I'm SUPER anal about a speck of dust or something getting under them while applying and making a little bump or bubble. I've never had a tempered glass one, but with my new M8, I'm thinking about trying one.
[One (M8) Accessories] anthropolyte:
Honestly they're pretty easy. I'm rather particular about getting screen protectors right, but I've previously not bothered with them because I'm absolutely terrible at putting them on. However that was with the plastic ones - I got the tempered glass one on perfectly the first time round (see pictures above).

The easiest method is the "hinge" method. There's a decent YouTube video instructing you how to do it. You just need a steamy bathroom ;)
[One (M8) Accessories] Janderson88:
Awesome, thanks! I'm ordering a new case soon (The UAG ice, I love that it's transparent so you can still see the phone through it) and a tempered glass screen at the same time. I've got a pretty slick little BodyGlove case I picked up at the T-Mobile store when I got the phone, but I hate that it completely obscures such a beautiful phone. I was happy as a pig in **** when I found the UAG.
[One (M8) Accessories] My Beer Belly:
I'm overall very pleased with this protector: MobilePioneer HTC One M8 LCD HD Premium Screen Protector Ultra Thin 0.3mm Tempered Glass (prevented from posting the link due to under 10 post count). Just search for this on Amazon, it comes right up.

I admit this is my first foray into glass protectors so I have little experience to compare to. However, I used the bare phone for 4 days before installing this screen protector and barely notice any difference now that it's installed. Paired with a Supcase (Search Amazon for 'SUPCASE All New HTC One M8 Case - Unicorn Beetle Premium Hybrid Protective Case for HTC One 2014 (Frost Clear/Gray)' which someone was using in pictures posted previously, and you can't even notice the slight lip on the edges of the screen.

The protector isn't the thinnest and may not be the clearest or prevent the most fingerprints, but it's about the most inexpensive option that had good reviews on Amazon. Unless you are some sort of tempered glass protector connoisseur then I doubt you'll notice the difference in this and something 3x as expensive.
[One (M8) Accessories] alexander2020:
Well in that case my friend why dont you try the HTC One M8 Screen Protector - GEARMAXX Ultra Clear. This screen protector is the one which you are looking for. This is a cool stuff from Gearmaxx.
[One (M8) Accessories] anthropolyte:
Yeah, I think I'll ignore that recommendation, seeing as all four of your posts on XDA have been an attempt to sell that brand.

Hi Chris ,

I am also confused between MIME Feather , Ghost Glass & Nillkin .

Any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

Just sent you a PM
[One (M8) Accessories] :
Hey Saket_k i have used both nillkin and mime on my m8 and old phones too

Firstly Mime Feather is thinner than mime ghost glass and nillkin H+ BUT it does not have rounded edges .

Mime Ghost glass has rounded edges but is abit (YEAH lil bit) thicker .

Nillkin is has rounded edges and it comes at a lower price tag and they include enough add ons in the packaging which makes it easy to apply.

In my use Nillkin feels like it does not have any oleo-phobic coating and Mime stands up against fingerprints better than Nillkin (Exactly the opposite of the post you quoted)

I will suggest you to get the ones with rounded edges as they feel much better IMO while swiping down to open notification bar and similar usage when you move your finger from the edges and they dont chip as easily as Non Rounded ones

Forget Feather ! GET THE GHOST GLASS

Nillkin Vs Mime ?

You can get the NIllkin H+ from ebay India for 1100 INR and it will arrive in 2-3 days .

on the other hand

you will have pay around 2000~ INR for Mime and wait 2-3 weeks for it to arrive .

You wont find much difference between the two.

I am currently using Mime Ghost Glass . I used Nillkin H+ for around a month .
[One (M8) Accessories] GermanGuy:
Just received my replacement M8 (Had a defective ear speaker). I had the Mime Ghost Glass on the original M8 and installed the Nilkin H+ on my replacement phone. The Nilkin and Mime are almost identical. The Mime held up against fingerprints pretty well initially but then, I think, the oleophobic coating started to wear off. So I think, as far as fingerprints are concerned, the Mime and Nilkin are comparable. Although they both have similar thickness, the Nilkin allows the phone to fit perfectly in my Seidio surface case whereas with the Mime it was not a good fit. I paid 16.80$ for the Nilkin with free shipping on Prime, The Mime was 25$ plus shipping. Overall, I'd recommend the Nilkin over the Mime.
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
One thing the user above doesn't mention however is whether you intend to use the DotView case or similar wallet/folio style cases because they don't play nicely with the thicker glass protectors. That's why I switched from Nilkinn to Feather as the DotView closes fully with the Feather fitted. Those style cases that have a clasp shouldn't be affected though.

I still feel the Feather does a better job with anti fingerprinting personally.
[One (M8) Accessories] Saket_k:
I am not going to use dot view , just a simple back cover case.

I have been using Spigen Stenheil Ultra crystal on my M7 but now confused between this for M8 .

Going first time for tempered glass.

So looking out for suggestion who have used it and felt it.
[One (M8) Accessories] :
Get anyone of them(Mime/Nillkin) with your eyes closed , They are miles ahead as compared to those PLASTIC protectors . Just dont mess up the installation .
[One (M8) Accessories] Saket_k:
Thanks :)

Actually i was going for MIME ghost but someone wrote in earlier post that MIME ghost thickness made the touch buttons on screen less sensitive and also the thickness that causes dust to settle on top and bottom.

So thats why the MIME Feather came into scene and couldn't decide Ghost or Feather .
[One (M8) Accessories] :
If you have a case on your phone go with feather..

If it affects sensitivity by any means . Whole screen should be affected by it not just the buttons
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
If you go MIME I'd go Feather personally. It's as good as Ghost in terms of protection really. Only thing it doesn't have is the rounded edges but to be honest it's so thin anyway you don't really notice the edges. Plus it plays nicely with cases and touch response.
[One (M8) Accessories] Ambious:
Short review on the Zagg InvisibleSHIELD HD screen protector.

I'm usually a big fan of Zagg, having used their screen protectors on all of my previous devices, but they really screwed the pooch with this one (design-wise).

See, the protector isn't just a square covering the glass, it has these sort of 'wings' extending around the speaker grills.

Now in previous devices I've had they did this as well and it wasn't a bad thing, but here the problem is that the screen area and the speaker areas are separated a bit, which causes a slight 'lift' between them that catches an air bubble you can't push out (see picture).

As for applying, it's like any other Zagg product. Apply enough liquid beforehand and you'll be set. It's also pretty good at 'absorbing' fingerprint and smudges to the point where you don't see them at all - which is really important to me, and while not as slick as the glass protectors out there, it's still pretty slick (sure as hell more than the 'orange-peel' classic Zaggs).

Also after I fudged the installation by trying to over-correct it, I applied the warranty and it was fast and efficient in replacing it, so there's still no competition there. I opted to upgrade to the glass protector which it seems only covers the glass area, so hopefully that will be a better fit.
[One (M8) Accessories] jags_the1:
That is not a fault of the screen protector that there is a alignment issue within the speakers and corning glass. If they did not cover the area below the screen then they would have to shift from their standard designs which is not always easy .Most company's like to build their own iconic designs which sets them apart from others (people actually keep buying from them since they start to like their design). i don't see why they should change their design just for a one particular phone.

its clearly a HTC QC issue.
[One (M8) Accessories] Ambious:
Perhaps - it is of course just one phone and is completely anecdotal, but I didn't find any other reviews of the HD version (everyone gets glass these days) so I have no idea if it's an issue with my phone or with the entire line.
[One (M8) Accessories] lars982:
i ordered Nilikin 9H anti-explosion tempered glass from ebay for 10$. Any tips for installation?
[One (M8) Accessories] mindfever91:
Sadly, almost every device suffers from at least a little bit from the screen not being flush with the speakers, it's really not the protectors fault. Some people claim they got one with the glass being perfectly flush, but they had the salesperson open like 4-5 boxes before that what isn't quite worth the hassle in my opinion. I'd get another protector that just covers the glass.
[One (M8) Accessories] Lopan12:
Anyone know how much the shipping is for a Skinomi replacement?
[One (M8) Accessories] dsmpampis:
I'm waiting for my Nillkin....I'll give a feedback when it's come.
[One (M8) Accessories] Ambious:
Yes, also in the meantime it sort of 'settled' and isn't as annoying as it was before. ZAGG is incredibly self-healing that way.

I already ordered the glass replacement though. You guys think I can send them a different old zagg instead for the warranty, or does it have to be the same model?
[One (M8) Accessories] Powell730:
I bought the i-Blason tempered glass off amazon. got it today and had it installed within 3 minutes. super easy but I have put all types of protectors on and generally find most to be easy. didn't experience the bubbles others reported. since it only covers the glass the edge is definitely noticeable.. not sure how other tempered glass does this but a more rounded edge would be better. overall tho I like it and for the price compared to others, its great value. would recommend it to others.

oh.. I bought this one over tech armor because they said it was .2mm thick vs most others of .3mm.. I was hoping the dot view case would close all the way as I read others saying it didn't on their .3.. no dice, doesn't close. no biggie tho.. I was thinking about returning it any way cuz its nearly impossible to use the device 1 handed w/ that case.
[One (M8) Accessories] 0mnom:
just got my Nilikin screen protector! I didn't want to screw it up so I took to this method!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oJX99p3kEc

Easy enough, just make sure when hinging it back down to make sure the tape is taught, or to start make sure the tape is on really tight.. Otherwise you're alignment might be off.

Once its in the right place just give it a press and its in! Also before hand, make sure you clean the screen properly! They supply you with enough stuff to properly clean it anyway, which I was unexpected and surprisingly useful!

Very clean and easy to use! Love it!
[One (M8) Accessories] Sevinex:
Mine was free of charge, so I would assume your's would be too. That being said, I am soon to take off my Skinomi; I recently ordered a tempered glass protector from Mime (the Feather Glass to be exact), and if it is truly as thin as it claims (.15 mm), I likely will never be buying a "plastic" screen protector again. The only thing that bugged me about my Skinomi screen protector was that it was easily deformed. From simply sitting on my phone, my jeans were able to leave a thread imprint on the protector, however it always went away after a day or two. Unfortunately, this kind of thing bugs me, but if not for you then congrats and good luck.

EDIT: Just found out I am being sent the wrong screen protector (Ghost Glass), so I will likely have to wait another we before I can comment back on the Feather Glass.
[One (M8) Accessories] Lopan12:
Ghost glass is .33mm I think, the Feather Glass is .15mm...just checking you ordered the right one.

I ordered the Skinomi Tech Glass, which is .33mm. I went with that one since it was $15. They're site never mentions how much shipping is, just that you gotta pay it for replacements...but, for $15, I figured why not give it a shot. I'll update with my experience when it comes tomorrow!
[One (M8) Accessories] Sevinex:
Haha yes I caught my error just as you responded. I thought I ordered the Feather Glass (namely because of its thinness), however my electronic receipt says otherwise so hopefully I can resolve this quite quickly. I am currently running san-screen protector, and I have this nagging feeling in the back of my head that in the time it takes for me to receive my Feather Glass I will scratch my screen... I have been literally babying my phone all day.

I considered the Skinomi Tech Glass, however with my current case I am not entirely sure they will both play well together, so I opted for the thinnest I could find.
[One (M8) Accessories] Powell730:
I doubt you'll scratch your screen... With gorilla glass on these phones it's highly unlikely. I use tempered glass to avoid shattering my screen.
[One (M8) Accessories] DeepMemory:
Guys, is the Mime Ghost or the iloome screenmate tempered Glass protector better?
[One (M8) Accessories] GadgetCheck:
Nillkin Anti Explosion Tampered Glass Screen Protector

This is really very good and inexpensive compared to other GLASS screen protectors available, its almost as thin as the Spigen Glass.tr Nano at almost one third the price here in india. Its also really tough/hard. Installation was flawless and i had no problems at all 0 Bubbles or other marks/scuffs.

Need to uses this for a few weeks before i give my verdict but obviously this is much better than a Plastic protector if you dont mind that extra bulk & thickness .
[One (M8) Accessories] stantudor:
Was it easy to apply?What method did you use?
[One (M8) Accessories] GadgetCheck:
Yes, seamless. 0Bubble installation and is much easier than plastic screen protectors.

Clean ur screen nicely. I used a electrostatic sheet that came within the packaging to remove any remaining dust and just peal off the entire plastic shielding on the glass protector, grab the glass protection by its edges and align and drop, thats it and it automatically removes all bubbles i was surprised that it was so easy to do.
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
I'm not convinced that's a genuine Nillkin product. See here:

Still, as long as it was cheap and your happy though.
[One (M8) Accessories] Martji:
It seems genuine to me, the packaging is a bit different because it's not the + version. The only difference is that the H+ has rounded edges and the H does not.

Installed my Skinomi, and it's great. Only problem was I had to lift it back up to realign, and the corner I lifted seems to be "bent" just barely...

I tried pushing it down with some text books overnight, but it just lifts back up, causing the adhesive to...spider?...a little. Glass is all smooth, rounded, about a half milimeter between the glass and very edge of phone's glass, not interfering with my capsule case

Lot of folks on the following thread ("international" M8 forum) complaining about the GG getting scratched easily: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701023

MIME Feather Glass

Got the MIME Feather Glass today. Really impressed with the packaging and it is cut perfectly to the M8's glass. I didn't line it up as perfectly as I would like but it still turned out good. Took some pics with the Spigen slim armor case installed.
[One (M8) Accessories] boofhead:
yeah mine didnt line up the first time either. took it back off and had another go and got it perfect. also got a ghost glass version but the feather glass is perfect. you dont even notice it is there.

[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
My only gripe with the Feather is it scratched too easily. I've got several hairline scratches on the glass protector. Don't get me wrong I'm glad it's the protector not the actual display but still, for an expensive protector I'd expected more scratch resistance.
[One (M8) Accessories] Vandal4125:
Received my MIME feather glass two days ago, I'm disappointed by the cut of the glass. You would expect it to be cut perfectly for the entire glass on the phone. I lined up the left side and bottom so that they are perfectly in line with the glass. After doing so I noticed that there are small gaps at the top and right side of the screen now. It is not a huge problem but for a pricey screen protector such as this it would be perfectly cut. The standard al-crapo protector that comes with the UAG Maverick case fit the glass perfectly.

I cannot attest to the durability as I haven't done anything 'dangerous' with the phone. It does seem to grab fingerprints quiet easily. This is my first tempered glass protector so I am not sure how fingerprint resistant they should be. I've sent MIME a mail about the cut but they have not replied over 24hrs now.
[One (M8) Accessories] Lopan12:
If it were three full size of the glass, a lot of cases probably wouldn't fit right. I centered mine so that I had an even <.5 mm gap on either side.
[One (M8) Accessories] SupaSwag:
If it has barely been over a day since you emailed them then that is fairly normal. Companies don't usually respond immediately like a personal email. As mentioned above, screen protectors are rarely cut exactly to the glass. Besides the compatibility issues with cases, there's also the issue that a person would have to install the screen protector perfectly or else it could be prone to lifting.
[One (M8) Accessories] jfcooley:
My MIME Feather chipped. This is the first protector I've had chip. I have had ilome flex glass on my N5 and N7 as well as my wife's M7 without issue. I should have just waited on iloome to produce flex glass for the M8.

I've sent requested pic, waiting on reply. Device is babied, nothing in pocket withit and it has its own spot in the car. No idea why it chipped.
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Have to say, my MIME Feather has multiple scratches. It doesn't seem as resistant as some others which is irritating as I do love how thin it is.

Edit: I've emailed MIME. I'm not happy really at paying $40 for it to be shipped to UK only for it to scratch so early so easily.

Edit: fair play to MIME customer support. Within the hour they emailed me back requesting a photo of the protector and a code for a free replacement. I've opted to get the Ghost Glass this time round as I don't think, judging by some of the responses in this thread, getting another Feather would make a difference to it's quality.
[One (M8) Accessories] Vandal4125:
Please let us know how the Ghost Glass turns out, I noticed my feather glass has two quite large hairline scratches on it today, and the device is also babied so I have no idea how they got there, being new to tempered glass I really thought it would be something special for the premium price tag, having also paid $40 incl shipping to South Africa.
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
I will report once it arrives mate. As you say, for the premium price tag you want something that's going to last awhile. Mine had scratches within a few weeks.
[One (M8) Accessories] Pure+:
The ghost glass is excellent. I have had 2 since I got my phone. 2 because I dropped my phone during a call. The protector didn't even break, just got some nasty scratches from the gravel. But impressive that it took a 6 foot drop without shattering. Anyway, on my second one now through Mime's replacement program. Had this one on for about 3 weeks now and not a scratch anywhere, hairline or otherwise. And the rounded edges of the ghost glass are perfect, making it so that you don't even notice it's on when swiping from the edges and sides of screen.
