Mime USA recently released their "Ghost Glass" screen shield for the HTC One. I have received and installed mine onto my phone.
[First Impressions]
Let me start off by saying wow, this screen shield is superb. You honestly cannot tell it's on your device when you're looking at your screen. It is crystal clear as all glass shields should be. The oleophobic coating on this shield makes your screen feel outstanding. It feels smoother and more silky than the naked screen of the HTC One. Your finger quite literally just glide across the screen while you are using it. It's a truly incredible sensation. I can't really say how please I am with this shield right off the bat. Mime USA did an outstanding job on every aspect of this product from the packaging to the included content to the shield itself. Everything is outstanding. Shout out to Mime USA for doing their job so very well. (Link to product at bottom of post)

As you can see in the pictures, the "Ghost Glass" features rounded edges to prevent chipping and only adds a mere 0.32 mm thickness while retaining a surface hardness of 9H. You may notice some small areas on the corners where the glass doesn't appear to have adhered to the screen. Mime USA says that these and any air bubbles you can't squeegee out will disappear within 2-3 days. Honestly I can't say I'm worried about those little bubbles on the corners. Even if they don't fully disappear, they are so small I don't even notice them while using my phone. Honestly I cannot find a single thing to complain about with this product and am very satisfied.
Hopefully this sort of mini review/first impressions will help anyone who is undecided about this product. And if you have any questions at all please feel free to ask them and either myself or someone else with this product can try to help you find an answer.
Thanks guys,
Pure+

Wish listed the thickness, but it looks like another good choice to have.

All of their other protectors seem to be on track with the thickness of the spigen products. This should be the same. So I'm guessing .4 mm

Is this .4mm thin? Don't see them mentioning about the thickness..

Like I said. There products seem to be on track with that of spigen. I said earlier if I had to guess it would be .4 mm. That is just my guess though.

Interesting, the site says this:
"Please note firmware 1.29.709.12 or newer is required for use with our HTC One Ghost Glass"
I guess they don't want people complaining because the back button isn't sensitive...

Yes it does require that firmware for everything except the AT&T variant which needs 1.26.502.12 or newer.

They're .32 mm. I assumed it would be thinner than the SGS4 one because it's a simple rectangle.

Again dont quote me, but im sure the captive issues where with the 1.28 , 1.29 is the first update which should fix things!
So any one got some reviews on this? How does it feel? Is it smudge and scratch resistant? How's the clarity? Also: How hard was the installation process, was there any air bubbles, etc.
I just bough it off their store and waiting for shipment.
I almost order this but read on the S4 forum and seems like some users reported that they got some kind of "strip" appeared on the screen. They release a v.2 for Galaxy S4 already but I'm not sure if our version will affect.
I'm interested in getting one of these for my H1!
I'm completely naked atm but I am thinking of a clear TPu case and one of these screen protectors!
I wonder how it feels under touch as the HTC One screen feels quite 'soft' to the touch.
Anyone have one? we'd welcome reviews!
Can someone please explain to me the appeal of these glass screen protectors over something like a zagg which I am using now? The zagg will never scratch since it is self healing, plus lifetime warranty. Why would someone want a glass screen protector?

Yes, those of you who had one for your old Galaxy S2, it's now available for the Note. I consolidated a bunch of orders in my country and these will belong to a bunch of crazy cats who were willing to pay a hefty amount for this screen protector.
This protector is slightly thinner than the old 3M Estoc+ on the SGS2, but the surface is a lot slicker. Scotchtape could not even stick properly to it for me to lift it up to remove dust. The surface feels FANTASTIC! It's matte, yet it's glossy as seen in the photo. I know there are other protectors in the market, but this is still my favourite one.
No rainbow effect, glossy clarity, and matte feel, this is why this thing is the best protector IMO. You can find this protector in gmarket, go to the co.kr version and change to the English site.

That's the link for anyone that wants it, I certainly don't understand it too well.
I will keep my eyes for it, too. It looks really nice! Does it at all mess with the image clarity? I had those Matte screen protectors and felt great to the touch, but readability was HORRIBLE.

Most of the time the clarity is affected by the horrendous rainbow effect for the lesser matte screen protectors. The rainbow effect is nearly invisible, and I would say it's even negligible. I can't see it in a white screen, maybe some can. This is why I swear by this protector, because the screen is clear like a gloss screen protector, but has the matte feel. You can say it's like an improved and better SGIPEN Ultra Optics.
Vulpix, missed the order. Any extras?
thanks for highlighting this screen protector as the best out there
showing as 16.10 dollars for me so around £10..
anyone interested doing a mass order in the UK?

Just got this from another HWZ member as I missed your mini-MO earlier on.
All I can add is that this ****e is da BOMB! IMHO of SPs out there, it really is the best! Swiping on the screen now is a bloody joy!
Didn't have another cam with me, so I can only show shots of the packaging...

It's not a hard glass SP or something, just your typical screen protector, so you can take it off and on a few times if need be.

I found this case at Amazon for less than $10. It's white rubber/TPU on the sides, and the back is clear, slightly frosted polycarbonate (but not 'blurry' - see the images below), very similar to the Griffin REVEAL case available for the iPhone and other older models. The back is solid, and the buttons work well through the rubber sides - a good alternative for people who like the look of bumper cases, but want back protection and want to avoid the discoloration of clear TPU cases.

Beautiful case (like most white TPU) but you're sorely mistaken if you think it won't discolor like the clear ones. It actually will look worse as it sticks out more on a white background.
Don't believe me? Take a picture of your case in two weeks and update the OP. One week if you're a smoker

And my source is myself. I've ordered and used multiple white TPU cases. Finally learned my lesson.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I've had it for almost a month, and these photos were taken today - haven't noticed any obvious discoloration yet... I think the rubber is a little thicker/less porous than TPU. I don't keep it in my hand all day (usually on the desk). I had the clear Diztronic case first, and saw discoloration in days with that one.

Well, it's still plastic, so it will scratch if you try hard enough. Mine has a few mild scratches, but they aren't deep enough to be noticable without looking for them.
Also, here's the same case in Black: http://www.amazon.com/BoxWave-Samsung-i9300-Galaxy-UniColor/dp/B001DNSLKE

Alright here are some few pictures of it. I dont have the best camera in the world since I never had the reason to buy one so I apologize ahead of time.
Package contents
Note: It does include 4 colors home button for your choosing
Here is the tempered glass fully applied. If you look closely it doesnt fully cover the ENTIRE phone screen. It does leave 0.2ish cm space gap. It does have holes punched for the proximity sensors/LED display/FFC
Spacing and thickness
Another one
Sucky ass camera does not do this justice but I assure you the clarity is super sharp and beautiful color. Its like using nothing on your phone. There are NO dot matrix crap that was on Xgear tempered glass.
Cheap bumper from amazon. It fits and doesnt add extra bulge to it.
Conclusion: Its a must get item if you arent into the plastic and/or polyurethane style. Installation was a breeze and it took me a bit longer because I am extremely anal about dust and the super tiny lint. I had to use the alcohol swab because I saw 3-4 lints so I had to lift it up and reapply the protector. All in all Im super happy with mine.
open that badboy and give us a review!! Hopefully it doesnt have those dot grid that the xgear has.

Aww im jelly. But I got mine from Amazon and shipped from SGP itself so I didnt get any free case. Availability was 9/5 and it left the warehouse on 9/4. Just got it today so they exceed my expectation. I will recommend SGP to everyone now.
That does look very good, with a case it would be hard to tell there is one on there. Might look decent on a pebble blue s3 since they include the home button. with a case wrapping everything else.
Is the adhesive all over the screen, or just around the colored border like the xgear one?
I wonder how long will it be til they come out with other colors, this would look great to cover my corner crack. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/296752_10151086342373557_657668591_n.jpg

Can you verify that those Spigen Neo Hybrid cases will fit with the glass protector? I have the GLAS.t screen protector at home because I haven't had time to put it on. But in an email I got from Spigen, they said their case and glass protector will work together. I want to order the case asap but I want to make sure.

these are probably generic unbranded tempered glass protector. I bought a similar one from China during my most recent trip. Works just as intended and it's cheaper than branded ones.
If you ever decide to stop using it, you can just use your fingernail and lift it like any other normal film screen protector.
I'm also looking into these.I never had a glass protector but I feel $30-40 is a bit too much for my blood. maybe I should try these. and If I like the feel, later on invest on a better quality one.

How about this? IMO $16 is not bad for such highly rated product.

Use binder clips to put on pressure to remove the spiderweb, worked for me on the most stubborn one.

Nillkin LG Nexus 5 Anti-Explosion Tempered Glass Screen Protector
The Nillkin ones are only $10-12 through several vendors and people seem to be having good luck, in general.
Anker has a good name so far, so I suspect they have decent product a well

I ended up ordering one. So far it feels so smooth but I got tons of spider webs. Did you try yet?

Got one and yes indeed its pretty smooth I had no spider webs for the first 3 days I even almost forgot I had it on until I saw this thread again
But yes indeed got 3 small spider webs near the bottom. Pressing them and reapplying won't make em go away but who cares long as its not on the screen I'm fine with that.

yea, the screen part if fine but it's annoying to see the webs. ... I'll keep it on until it gets worse I guess?
the one on the right looks to be getting smaller. maybe i'll send ebay seller a message. give me my money back!
I also have spiderwebs

use binder clip and microfibre cloth, clamp on it and apply pressure, it'll be gone in an hour or two, it worked for me. Am a happy user right now.
Note that this is my second tempered glass protector and both of them surprisingly have the same spiderweb spot as per the one you have on the right which is the bigger one, someone said it's due to the nature of the glass not being perfectly even.

i'm afraid to try that. My first glass protector and afraid if it will indeed break with all that pressure I put on it. even break the actual glass .. but here goes..

note that i broke my first one while trying to exert alot of pressure using my sd card reading with a small surface area.
It was then when I reapplied a second one and realized hey! why is there a similar spider web in the EXACT same spot! Then i read that using a binder clip with microfibre cloth worked for others. They did mention that it will work on protectors freshly applied, those with spiderwebs left there for a longer period of time might need to use the binder clip for a longer time or it might not work for them.
I pre ordered the Tudia case from Amazon.com on Sunday Aug. 3rd and received it on Wednesday August 6th.
Inside the small bubble envelope, I found the case. It was packaged in plastic like many other Chinese cases. It even included a cardboard dummy phone with Chinese writing.
I tore into the plastic and found that despite the cheap container, the case is fairly nice. It isn't very thick and barely adds any overall thickness to the phone. The back of the case feels a bit like velvety rubber, and on the top and bottom ends the plastic is glossy and smooth.
The holes on the case match up perfectly with all of the holes on my device.
The front lip of the case sticks out far enough to protect the Screen when the phone is face down.
The buttons line up nicely, and are easy to press.
I bought this case because I needed a tough case for work. Unfortunately, this case is no different than any other TPU case that I've owned. It seems that it will provide enough protection for day to day things, but if you are looking for extra protection, look elsewhere.
Overall, I think the price is a bit high for what I got. The case looks nice, but I'm a fan of the sandstone back that comes on the phone and if I'm going to cover it up, I'd prefer to cover it with something with more protection. Also, the case is a bit more slippery than the original back of the phone. The phone offers no more protection than any of the 99 cent cases on ebay.

Thanks to info from Charlieb620 and Knight-Rider, it has been confirmed that this case works well with a tempered glass screen protector. To see photos, go to this post...

Will it play well with a glass screen protector?
It appears to have enough room for a glass screen protector, but I can't give you a definite answer because I haven't tried it. There is a very small gap between the lip and the screen. I suppose it depends on the thickness of your screen protector.
Others will be receiving them today and tomorrow and someone will probably chime in with your answer.
Thanks for the review!
Ordered that same one yesterday and one of those aluminum bumpercases the day I got my invite - of course neither will show till next week I'm guessing
So far the only issue I have found getting a new phone from a small company is lack of accessories, the ones I'm finding aren't exactly what I want but will make due.
Just hope more options show over the next few months!

No problem. I'm hoping someone offers a more rugged case soon. I just recently got my one plus one also and I've found it hard to get nice accessories. I'm sure I'll jump to the next big thing in a few months though. This is my third phone this year, so it's a trend lately.
Nice review....

How are they showing up? I did all of this on mobile and they came out fine. Are they insanely huge on the desktop version? I can get online and change their size shortly if so.

Hopefully they are somewhat clear. I took all of them except the last few with the One camera. It doesn't seem to be as clear as my note 3 camera, but I'm still trying to learn all the bells and whistles. I like this phone though.

Thanks! Maybe so. I have a few things I'm working on for all devices. I develop apps mostly, but all this "theme" stuff has piqued my interests.
Aside from that, I'd really like to join a ROM Dev group and work with other developers.
I received both my Tudia and glass protector.

It does i have the same case with tempered glass and the case wraps around the top. Extremely nice fit with no issues.

Yep, I didn't want to complain about the injection nub on it, because I don't know if it is possible to make them without it, but it is noticeable for sure.
