I bought a tempered glass screen protector for my Moto X from this site. I can say that the quality is excellent. I've had no issue with it. Edges are rounded and not sharp. Also the coating really minimizes the fingerprints and oil. The glass feels just as good as the device with no screen protector. Although not cheap, you do get quality and it doesn't cost anymore than Spigen's.

oh well, I don't let anyone touching my phone. :D
[One (M8) Accessories] sfreemanoh:
Are screen protectors really necessary for this phone? I had a Droid X for 2 years (technically I still have it, but whatever) without a case or screen protector, and it never got even the smallest scratch. And that only had (iirc) the original Gorilla Glass. Granted, a bubble somehow appeared underneath the screen itself a few months after I stopped using it...I have no idea how that happened, but I don't use it anymore so I don't really care.

The MIME Ghost glass and the Spigen Glas.tr were great on my M7, better than stock glass for being print resistant. Simply amazing. because of them i'll never use plastic again. Thats why i yanked the nillkin off so fast, i knew how it was supposed to be, and the nillkin wasnt it. They are one of the best case makers, just have some work to do on tempered glass :) Stay away fro IBlason Mostly bubble free glass too, bad stuff!!

Trick to help install screen protectors in dusty environment.. Do it in the bathroom or kitchen after/while running hot water/shower for a few minutes. Dust wont circulate when its a lil humid. Dont get carried away though, it doesnt take much, just a few minutes....dont want moisture on your screen lol
[One (M8) Accessories] minieod:
this one sounds good, but i need to know: is it just covering the screen, or does it provide full coverage on the front with cutouts for the speakers?

i cant deal with a small square cover in the middle of the phone.... this Casebase one that was linked earlier would be ideal, but im in the states
[One (M8) Accessories] Mike02z:
MIME Ghost Glass for the M8 is available for preorder now on their site (www.mimeusa.com). I just ordered mine plus they finally got the Galaxy Pro Note Ghost Glass so I ordered that as well.

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

On the M7 it only covered the screen. I suspect it will be the same for the M8
[One (M8) Accessories] who MIKE D:
Looky what I got :)
[One (M8) Accessories] CWolfCW:
That's not valid for all countries for one. Secondly, it's added protection to mitigate whatever risk (no matter how small) is left.

it says coming soon on the website :0 how did you get it! :)
[One (M8) Accessories] bloodiedwraith:
Does that cover the entire front with cutouts for the speakers, or just cover the glass portion?

Also, has anyone purchased the VZW tempered glass screen protector? According to the picture they have online it covers the entire front and has cutouts for the speakers and stuff which is exactly what I want.
[One (M8) Accessories] who MIKE D:
I know people lol

And it only covers the screen portion :)
[One (M8) Accessories] crazinavy:
Bought the same at my local best buy (NY)
[One (M8) Accessories] CWolfCW:
Does anyone know of a good manufacturer for tempered glass that covers the whole face with cutouts? As opposed to just the rectangle cut for the screen center only?

It appears that every single brand that's well known is only making the rectangle cut.

If not, I might just buy one from MIME - seems to be better than Spigen for the same type of product.
[One (M8) Accessories] verks:
I did. It's garbage. I'm good at putting them on and the glass is nice but because the protector covers part of the speaker area too it does not adhere to the glass correctly by each speaker. Do not buy.

From my M8
[One (M8) Accessories] wangtang2k:
Hells yeah. Went for a cheap glass protector until MIME releases their products for the m8. My M7 is rocking the Ghost Glass and it's the best protector I've ever had on any phone, period.
[One (M8) Accessories] Nippero:
Thanks for that, I grabbed a back protector + their dry install "HD" screen protector. Total $1.80 + free shipping.

Will use this until I finish evaluating my other options :D
[One (M8) Accessories] djkinetic:
I preordered the Mime Ghost Glass as well but I stopped in Best Buy and they actually had these on the shelf, I hate the normal zagg wet apply crap they usually sell there, but this is actually a pretty nice protector although not sure that its tempered glass though, feels a bit like plastic...kind of like the glass-m g2 protector, that said it did apply easily and does look nice...it is kind of expensive at 39.99 retail though, thank god I didnt pay full price lol...does come with a lifetime warranty..overall it will do...will keep it on till it cracks/scratches/breaks, then put the MIME on it.
[One (M8) Accessories] brandonmangan:
I've had the nillkin glass on for a week and it's the best screen protector I've ever used. Well worth the $13 on Amazon. I'll never stray from glass again. The only way I can tell it's there is to run my finger up or down from the speakers.

Edit: double tap to wake and dot view still work with it too.
[One (M8) Accessories] festo702:
I purchased the EZguardz glass from ebay (item # 331205543971) for $5.99 and I think it's amazing. It has rounded edges, is very thin, smooth, and does not attract fingerprints. I even had to take the glass up after it was installed to fit a case and I put it back on and it's just as good as before I took it off. I would never pay any more than what I did. I'm going to buy another just so I have a spare.
[One (M8) Accessories] otariq:
Ended up returning my cailifu glass and got the mobile pioneer one from amazon. This one is very nice so far. Not too thick and all 4 sides are rounded unlike my cailifu one which wasn't rounded on the left side. For $10 you can't really beat it. Let's see how it holds up in the coming months
[One (M8) Accessories] silver04v:
Is there a problem with cases fitting properly with a tempered glass protector? I'm afraid my incipio case won't fit properly with one. Any input on case fit?
[One (M8) Accessories] GermanGuy:
The Seidio surface works ok with the Nilkin which is 0.3 mm thick.
[One (M8) Accessories] silver04v:
I purchased the zagg invisible shield glass today. Just installed it and it fits perfect. Using my incipio dual pro case it still fits just right.

Feels great to touch, smudges are there but not as bad as platisc protectors I've used in the past.

Installation was easy, came out great. I currently have no complaints.
[One (M8) Accessories] assassin82492:
When it says it has a rounded edge what exactly does that mean? Would you be able to show a picture? Thanks
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
It means that at the edges of the protector, it's rounded off instead of squared. Not a great example but bare with me. Imagine you're holding the protector between your finger and thumb looking at its bottom edge:

Squared.

[ :::::::::::::::::::: ]

Rounded. Sort of. Best I could do with symbols.

( :::::::::::::::::::: )

Just makes gliding over the screen from the edges a nicer feel plus allegedly prevents chipping.
[One (M8) Accessories] benandfaith:
Square vs round

[One (M8) Accessories] assassin82492:
Would you mind posting a couple pics of your phone with the Nilkin glass and the dotview case? Have you noticed any problems?
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Have the same combination. Nillkin makes the flap stand off a little. It's enough to bother me personally. I don't use the Dot View at the moment. Waiting for a 0.15mm protector to arrive from GLASS-M.
[One (M8) Accessories] assassin82492:
Yeah that would really bother me too. Problem is I already ordered my Nillkin which arrived at my house and im out of the country so i cant even return at the moment. Now Im thinking im gonna skip on the Dot View for now and get a Toastmade
[One (M8) Accessories] assassin82492:
Would anyone with a Nillkin protector be able to tell me about the small pieces for the cameras? Do they affect the function at all? And could anyone post a pic of how it looks with the pieces fixed on the cameras?
[One (M8) Accessories] Jr6278:
I can't take the pictures right now but there alot better than the slickwraps version
[One (M8) Accessories] Nitemare15:
Who makes the best matte screen protector? Spigen?
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
I've had mine on for months and I've taken hundreds of photos. No side effects that I've noticed.

[One (M8) Accessories] markbravo2014:
I ordered a Tempered Glass screen protector from the internet. I found it really good. :)

http://www.gearmaxx.com/one-m8-screen-protector-gearmaxx-tempered-glass
[One (M8) Accessories] ryanjsoo:
Definitely use it, unlike some plastic protectors it doesn`t have added glare and is very clear, resisting reflections so image quality is not affected, plus the glass is stronger than the stock lens and will likely end up preserving image quality as opposed to natural degradation from lens scratches.
[One (M8) Accessories] raichur0xx0rz:
I assume it does not fully adhere because the glass (screen) is not perfectly flush with the top and bottom speaker areas? It looks nice in theory, but I guess I will avoid it after your feedback.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
Yeah, that's dumb. With the questionable QC of HTC, the screen isn't always flush with the speakers.

This is what it looks like for those wondering.
[One (M8) Accessories] Mike02z:
Wow, what is the point of covering anything but the screen. What am I missing? Looks like it only provides a bare minimum additional protection and I would not think it would ever adhere properly. Not sure why companies try and re-invent the wheel all the time. (I do really, all about the almighty $$)
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
Yeah, it would be fine if the entire front was one piece of glass, that would look nice.

Their regular PET screen protectors only cover the glass. Not sure why they went this route with the glass.
[One (M8) Accessories] mbellis:
I use tempered glass screen protectors exclusively on all of my devices, can't use anything else after getting used to the feel of glass, I have used a number of different brands, Seidio, SGP, Nilkin, Mime, Zagg and BodyGuardz, here is a list for comparison of costs over time assuming 4 replacements in the device lifetime for a few of the brands listed. This is only a few of those currently available, please feel free to update this list.

Zagg: $39.99, after 4 replacements @ $5.99 (Zagg only charges for shipping of replacement) = $63.95

http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-one-m8-screen-protectors/8886

Mime: $24.95, after 4 replacements @ $12.48= $74.87

http://mimeusa.com/product/htc-one-m8-ghost-glass-screen-protector/

BodyGuardz: $31.96 (assuming you are already an advantage member), after 4 replacements @ $12.95 = $83.76

http://www.bodyguardz.com/screengua...-skins-films.html?dir=asc&order=sort_priority

VZW: $24.99, after 4 replacements @ $24.99 = $124.95 (warranty paper in packaging says that VZW will replace within 30 days due to defect so YMMV on these)

http://www.verizonwireless.com/acce...-screen-protector-for-the-all-new-htc-one-m8/

SGP: $39.99 (They have not updated their glass replacement form to reflect the replacement cost of the M8 Glass, note that warranty is only in effect for 1 year)

http://www.spigen.com/brands/htc/htc-one-m8-screen-protector-glas-tr-nano-slim.html

So far I have purchased the VZW brand and the Zagg, major difference being the VZW branded protector covers the entire front of the device from top to bottom with cutouts for the boom speakers and front facing camera but did not adhere properly to my screen around the boom speakers, where as the other brands all cover the screen only.
[One (M8) Accessories] Vandam500:
Just ordered the Nilkin Tempered Glass from Amazon. Will be here on Tuesday. First time I've ever purchased tempered glass before. Are there any "tricks" or anything I should know when I go to apply it?
[One (M8) Accessories] thesabri:
Any of these glass protectors work well with tpu cases?
[One (M8) Accessories] djkinetic:
im using the zagg glass with diztronic tpu just fine.
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
How'd you find the product mate?
[One (M8) Accessories] Michealtbh:
I'm considering buying an M8 (or Z2, can't decide) and was having a look for tempered glass screen protectors
[One (M8) Accessories] faded03cobra:
I agree. Ive tried almost all the tempered glass protectors and mime imo is by far the best
[One (M8) Accessories] deeznuts:
Didn't know Zagg does this. Even though people say MIME is best (which could be), Zagg is very convenient. What i mean by that at least where i live in almost every major mall there is a Zagg "cart." You buy the screen protector there, they put it on for free professionally (i suck at this and if they mess up and not to you're liking they will open a new protector and put on until they get it right!!!), and if you want it replaced you just go back to the cart in the mall and for $5 on the spot they give you a new one and install for you! This is awesome IMO and can go to any mall cart for this, not just the one you bought it at! Would maybe keep receipt just in case but everytime they see it's a zagg product so don't even question. I mean this is what they do 8hrs a day 7 days a week, think they have a little more practice at installing these things then most of us would.
[One (M8) Accessories] shivers316:
Same here. It's perfect.
[One (M8) Accessories] minieod:
does anyone have a picture of their phone with one of these covers on? i really am not sure how i will feel about just covering the screen and leaving the speakers uncovered (not due to me worrying about the speaker areas getting damaged, but not sure if it will look weird / not clean / feel weird having a raised portion of the front)
[One (M8) Accessories] b0gd4n:
I've been reading this thread for a while.

I want to get a glass for my m8 and only want to get the best, no matter the price.

I used Spigen ones before and really liked them.

But I see that there are a lot of people praising the MIME ones. I have not seen one at all.

How are the MIME ones compared to the Spigen ones?

And please come with more facts than just "It just is better" :D

Thanks.
[One (M8) Accessories] shivers316:
This is with the Zagg glass protector.
[One (M8) Accessories] deeznuts:
Looks nice! Never felt a temper glass protector before until i bought my M8 and my gf got her iPhone 5s. Verizon store had a Verizon branded i believe tempered glass screen protector for her phone and not mine. They installed it and wow, they feel amazing compared to anything Non-Glass!!! World of a difference!

Where did you find the Zagg Glass protector? Website is sold out, was it found locally like in a mall? Thinking my next day off to try the local mall Zagg cart and see if they have any in stock.

The Zagg website gives no specks though on this. Does it say what kind of resistance rating it has or anything? Thanks!
[One (M8) Accessories] shivers316:
Actually found mine at Best Buy and then ran to the mall and had the Zagg people install it for me. Feels amazing. They threw the box out when I went to Zagg so I couldn't tell you about the resistance rating.
[One (M8) Accessories] deeznuts:
Thanks, i'll look around then.
[One (M8) Accessories] minieod:
do you notice the difference in height or thickness where the edges of the screen and speaker are?
[One (M8) Accessories] shivers316:
There definitely is a difference, but it's so minute that I don't notice it.
[One (M8) Accessories] titans1187:
I picked up the Zagg glass last night at best buy and just like the iPhone version, this screen protector is top notch without a doubt.
[One (M8) Accessories] faded03cobra:
bought one as well and the corners on mine are not sticking properly. Feather glass from mime is the best imo. ill keep the zagg until they release the feather glass
[One (M8) Accessories] IdanK:
If you take the thickness of the glass screen protector in consideration, there are some major differences between the brands!

I couldn't find any statement on Mime's and BodyGuards websites regarding the thickness of the glass but both Verizon and Zagg declare a 0.4mm, Nillkin states 0.3mm (and gives free screen protectors for the Duo Cameras, how generous) and Spigen went extra thin with only 0.23mm.

Wouldn't you prefer a thinner protector? I mean,

I could be wrong about it

but wouldn't thicker pieces of glass be less clear, as there's more "material" between the actual screen and your eyes? Haven't tested that in person and that could be an interesting test to do if someone has the time and cash for it ;)

Another point to take in consideration is that thicker protectors may also interfere with certain cases that have wide lip around the screen.

As for me, I've ordered the Nillkin Glass screen protector, simply because they were available pretty early. If I'm not mistaken, even before the device actually launched! Also, they are very attractive in price and offer impressive specs, so eventually I got one off ebay from a Chinese seller for 12$, hoping it would arrive before I'll get my M8. Haven't got it yet but I'll snap some pics and review it if no one will do it before me :)
[One (M8) Accessories] b0gd4n:
anyone?
[One (M8) Accessories] T3hBraveBoss:
Yeah, would love to hear a response for the comparison. I have used spigen in the past for my Nexus 5; servered extremely well but the MIME is cheaper and the pre-installation sticker seems pretty cool for helping with the install process
[One (M8) Accessories] hidea:
I've used various brands in the past. To put it short, Spigen's price is too high!

So far, I've tried:

Naztech,

MIME,

iLoome,

Spigen,

Momax,

somerandomnonamestuffromChina,

Colorant,

Oddly enough, my favorite is the random no name stuff from China. Followed by MIME. MIME's packaging is great, and they supply you with with a big sheet of static dust removal. Not to mention, the they also give you a really great wiping cloth!

This works much better than any alcohol wipes. The alcohol wipes provided by the manufacturers often leave fibre residue (I think the wipes are cotton). Spigen's absolutely guilty of this.

TLDR; MIME's my go-to brand for quality products, that isn't overpriced :P.
[One (M8) Accessories] T3hBraveBoss:
I notice you reside in Canada (as do I) what is the shipping time like for MIME
[One (M8) Accessories] cmascatello:
The .23mm Spigen Tr-Nano option has worked out quite well for me on my One (M7) and iPhone 5s. The rounded edges and ultra-thin glass of the Spigen come the closest to replicating the "naked" feel of the device. I have one on order for my M8.
[One (M8) Accessories] hidea:
They ship using USPS from New York/Jersey (can't remember exactly). So, to Toronto, less than a week. 4 working days at most so far.

They ship stuff REALLY quick; I've had orders shipped the same day; if I place the order before their cut-off time.
[One (M8) Accessories] Stickboy46:
Once I get my M8 in (waiting on my $250 no-contract RSP order to come in), I'll be using the ZAGG Glass we have at my store (Best Buy), but only because its cheapest (for me) and unlimited free replacements (for me lol). Otherwise I'd look into the thinner ones.
[One (M8) Accessories] GermanGuy:
MIME tempered glass supposedly starting to ship this Friday. Got an e-mail today. Curious to find out how it is. Never had tempered glass protectors before. Usually have had Spigen screen protectors.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
Just got my Nillkin tempered glass screen protector. Amazing product. Excellent packaging and pack-ins. The fit is perfect and the feel is amazing. This is my second Nillkin glass protector and it's a great bargain for $11 shipped.
[One (M8) Accessories] mentallo:
Just applied a Nillkin also and it fits great. Easy to apply and looks nice. I get a feeling that screen protectors in general a kind of a racket. A lot of companies like Zagg rip people off. I bet this Nillkin protector for $11 is as good as any other for 3 times the price.

Sent from HTC One M8 with an app
[One (M8) Accessories] Andyw2100:
So I've read this entire thread, and while I've never used a screen protector in the past, I think it's time for me to start. I'm most interested in the Mime Ghost tempered glass. The only thing preventing me from ordering one is my concern about how difficult it might be for me to install it well enough that I'll be pleased with the results. So my question for those of you that have had these in the past is just how difficult is the installation process? I would definitely be bothered by dust or bubbles between the screen and the tempered glass, so if the installation I did wasn't perfect I know I would not be happy.

So I guess what I'm asking is how likely is it that I'll be able to achieve something close to a perfect installation with this Mime Ghost Glass on my first try?

(I take it that it's not possible to remove the glass and try again because of whatever adhesive is used, correct?)

I looked for an installation video on the Mime site, but could not find one.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
