MIME Feather Glass (Screen Protector) - One (M7) Accessories

Hi all,
the MIME Feather Glass is out!
http://mimeusa.com/product/htc-one-feather-glass-tempered-glass-screen-protector/
The MIME Ghost Glass screen protector got some nice reviews for the HTC One. Does anyone have an opinion about the Feather Glass?

nice, at least a company who doesnt desert htc one like SGP, and they ship to UK. ill be getting one soon

ordered!!!
Thanks for the update on the feather screen protector. I ordered it and I will be sure to update this thread when I see how it is!

ordered!!! :good::good::good:

Ha my Ghost just arrived today and I love it. If I only knew a few days ago I may have waited but it Looks like the only difference is $27.95 and .15mm compared to the original $24.95 @ .32mm. No biggiie.
Comparing my ghost to the zagg which I had for months. The zagg is like rubbing fingers across my hairy legs, the ghost is like rubbing my beautiful wife's silky smooth thighs and butt :good:

Damn, wish I saw this thread first before replying to the Ghost Glass thread lol, but yeah, just ordered one to replace my broken Ghost Glass (I tried re-applying it after removing the review unit of the Mongrel Glass screen protector I received a few months back). MIME actually gave me a 50% off coupon for the Ghost but I noticed that they just released the Feather Glass so tried to use the coupon for that, and BANG. It worked! So now I'm just waiting for this new baby to arrive and hopefully it is just as good (or even better) than the Ghost Glass.

I ordered mine today as well. I'm very excited. IMHO I think tempered glass screen protectors are the smartphone innovation of the year! Im so glad I don't have to use that orange peel rubber feeling zagg crap anymore! I will give my thorough review here when I receive it.

I've got Feather Glass on the way as well. A case (Ballistic SG) should be waiting for me when I get home this evening. I'm trying to decide whether to put the case on or just wait until the screen protector arrives and do them both once and for all.

Please post pictures when you guys have it installed

Got it!!
So I recieved my Feather glass screen protector over the weekend. It is amazinggg
I cannot stress it enough. I dont know how to take good pictures right now since all I have is my phone.. which the glass is connected to..so yup haha
But I will say this
1) packaging is secure and very neat.
2) It comes with:
1 lint wipe thing
1 Anti dust screen applicator ( for before installation to remove dust off the screen)
1 Glass screen protector in its own slip to ensure no scratching or breaking
1 box with a cool mime face on the front
The instructions are decent in providing application pictures and is really not hard as long as you make sure to remove all of the dust off the screen. I used a alcohol based wipes which reallly help with removing the dust and making sure dust stays off while you place the protector on. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006CRYSZ8/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I placed the screen protector on very carefully and was nervous but as soon as it went on it started to natureally adhere to the screen. I got it in pretty good position and saw one bubble in themiddle of the screen. I sort of like pushed it out with my fingers and now the screen protector has no bubbles! The corners all stick down and it really feels smooth. The edges are not sharp and are rounded so has not to cut your fingers. The protector just feels like there is a ridge where the speaker grill and meets the phone. I had some gap there in the first place (zero gap my ass!) But it isnt a big deal at all
The screen is responsive and very smooth and really is great. Ive been searching for a screen protector for quite awhile and never wanted anything that wouldnt feel smooth like glass. This is so thin that it is barely noticeable and I cant say enough how great it is (so far! mind you)
PLUS I have a UAG black case and I put it on and it meets right where the sides of the protector meet so it is perfect even with the case.
sorry for no pics but if I can do it later I will

That's awesome man. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive here in Australia. Hopefully not too far off because my Ghost Glass is really playing up on me now.

My Feather Glass was waiting for me when I got home. Maybe I just got lucky but for me, it went on almost perfectly. I say "almost" because of one tiny bubble that's not visible when the screen is on. I didn't experience the problems with getting the corners to stick as some other posters have mentioned.
So with a Ballistic SG case and the screen protector, my One is swaddled up tight. I think I'll go throw it down a flight of stairs just to see what happens (yeah, right!).

I had the glas slim screen protector for the last few months and it eventually gave its life up to rubbing along sand at the beach. It had a long gash and time for a new protector. I picked up the mime feather glass from the company's website and put it on last night. I've used many protectors but none has had a separate dust sheet that the feather had. I washed my hands, laid out the dust thing and glass. I cleaned the glass with the supplied cloth, then use the dust sheet. I worried it would leave something sticky, but nothing but a dustless glass. I pealed the protector off the feather and just placed it on the HTC. It's pretty cool the way the feather adhesive flows from the middle out. But I goofed up, I was off on the bottom. So I carefully pulled it up, careful not to touch the sides. Tried again and perfect. No bubbles and perfect fit with a Poetic atmosphere case. So the verdict? Love the touch of the feather, just like the naked HTC screen. Smooth and great feel. I feel confident it will protect my screen and keep it as its meant to be, smooth.
I saw some folks asking for a pic, hope this helps.

It has the oleophobic coating so yes, it's somewhat anti-fingerprint. It's not nearly as bad as my old Thunderbolt.

i am ordering one and it says .15mm how is that possible its like paper thin?

Yep. It's pretty, pretty, pretty..... pretty thin. These guys say they're glaziers so I suppose they are adept at lapping the glass to this level.

[Review] Moshi iVisor AG screen protector

http://www.moshimonde.com/product/ivisor-ag-for-galaxy-siii.aspx
Packaging:
Minimalist cardboard packaging printed with Soy ink (as stated on the package). Very easy to open with the pull tab on the back. Inside is a cardboard flap that protects the screen protector and included cleaning cloth. As for that cloth...what a joke! It's a nice material but it's roughly the size of 50 cent piece or silver dollar. It's so small it's tough to keep two fingers on it without letting them touch the screen as you're trying to clean it. Once I seen that cleaning cloth I though "oh boy, what did I get myself in to?"
Installation:
Before proceeding with the install I did a dry fit to see how it lines up to get an idea of how it was going to fit. It covers the whole face of the phone all the way to the edge. The cut outs are precise and form fitting and there are two "cutouts" for the capacitive buttons as well. The fact that this protector is able to be removed and replaced at will, guarantees a bubble free installation, took alot of the stress out of the procedure. You don't have to worry about how or where you hold it for fear of getting finger prints on the backside of it since it's the same color as the phone except for where it covers the screen. Simply peel off the protective sheet, line it up at the top with the protector slightly bent in the middle so once it's lined up you can roll it down into place. Once it's in place, use the cleaning cloth to rub all around the colored portion to ensure a good adhesion.
Final Thoughts:
It looks like you don't have a screen protector on it at first glance. If you have a white phone you're well aware of the light bleed around the capacitive buttons, this fixes that. Install took all of 20 seconds and resulted in no dust or bubbles under it. The reason it guarantees no bubbles is because there is no adhesive or other adhering properties on the area that covers the screen. The "adhesive" is only on the colored area. The protector adheres nicely to the phone including the beveled areas of the screen but beware when using this with a case. I have an Incipio Silicrylic Dual Pro and because the silicone sleeve barely wraps around the edge of the face of the phone, when you press the volume or lock button it pushes the sleeve against he side of the protector and lifts it I have a Fosmon S style TPU case and checked it out to see how far it's edges wrap around the face of the phone and it looked like it wrapped over it more, but because it's such a tight fit I decided to remove the back cover of the phone before installing it and that worked out perfectly! The phone is nice and snug and it doesn't cause the protector to lift when pressing the buttons since it actually overlaps the protector instead of butting up against it's side.
As for clarity....well, this is an AG protector which stands for anti-glare so i'm sure you all know what that means. The standard grainy effect is there, although it's not as bad as most, and does take away some of the clarity of the screen. It's mostly noticeable on light backgrounds but if you're looking at it close enough you can see it no matter what. One thing that worried me is that there would be an obvious sign that the protector is not adhered to the screen itself...there's not. The protector is nice and smooth to swipe across and even the "openings" over the capacitive buttons are smooth, that's because they aren't actually openings it's just that they aren't colored.
Overall the product is good but it degrades the display quality and limits the cases you can use with it. But it also covers the whole screen, is washable and reuseable, eliminates the light bleed around the capacitive buttons, significantly reduces glare and fingerprints, ensures no bubbles and makes installation a breeze. Only 2 negatives, but they are big deals to alot of us so weight the pros and cons before you go give up your $25 for it
thanks for the great review.
My last hope for this protector is that it plays nicely with the Seidio Surface Garnet Red case I just ordered for it
Good review but I returned mine. I wasn't as good as I hoped for personally. I used it for a good week and a half.

I don't blame you. I had issues with it letting dust between the protector and the screen. So I returned it. Plus it wouldn't work with any case that I bought. Really its to bad because I loved it at first!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it plays nicely with the new case cause like you I really like this thing...the degredation is there but it's not so significant that I couldn't deal with it given all the other benefits of it.
Thanks guys for the kind words on the review, I try to be as thorough as possible to help those on the fence try to make their decision.
WTF are they thinking not making a clear one? Such potential!!
Hopefully the X gear one has beveled edges.

I've had my eye on that tempered glass protector you posted as well, somebody posted it a few weeks back. Can't wait to hear some reviews on it once people get their hands on it for the GS3.

It doesn't fit with the seidio case. I have the surface case in black. When you slip the case on with the protector on, it squeezes the edges of the screen protector together causing one edge to lift making a slight bubble. I couldn't stand the anti glare so I ended up returning the screen protector. Made the screen look blurry. The screen looks 10x better without it. Also wasn't worth $25 to me. It did feel nice but can't say it looked nice though.
You didn't go wrong with the seidio case though. It's a nice case. I've been using it for the past 2 weeks.

What I meant was I hope it has curved edges like the gs3. I think they mean beveled edges as in not sharp edges so the don't get caught on anything

I like the idea of this as a screen protector, but like others have mentioned with their cases, it does not fit properly with the body glove case. Hopefully I can return it, as I really like the feel of the Body Glove.

Yeah, with someone confirming it doesn't play nicely with the Seidio Surface case, mine is going back too
I have a question. How thick is this protector? The Xgear version is only .4mm thick. That's about half the thickness of a human fingernail!! I was worried about it interfering with the home button but it should be fine considering how thin it is!

SGP/Spigen Ultra Nano Clear Review

Got my SGP/SPigen Ultra Nano Clear install on Friday.
I'm generally very good at dry protector installs. I've done it many times and know all of the tricks.
I have a couple of issues with this product.
First, it's so thin that's it's very hard to take off the top and bottom protective screens. I was able to get it done, but I bent the plastic a tiny bit down by the home button and it sticks up a little bit there. That's really a non-issue and isn't real noticeable.
Next, and more of a pressing issue, is that the protector scratches VERY easily. I keep it in my pocket (a pretty clean pocket) and there are already a bunch of scratches on the protector. With the screen on bright, you can't really tell, but with it off, they are pretty clear.
If I have that many scratches in a 3 days, it'll probably be near unusable in a month.
I generally don't like screen protectors on gorilla glass, but I know the glass can scratch. But it's kind of silly to have something over the top of it that's already scratched up. Might as well just take a chance on the gorilla glass not scratching then.
Anyone else notice that these scratch very easily?
Have had it on almost 2 weeks now and no scratches at all. I would maybe try another one since you do get 3.
mine has some but not noticable at all unless u are looking for them. ive had mine one for about 2 weeks with a case.
I've had mine on for 5 days.. I usually find these things a complete pain to install, but this one went on first try. Mine has no scratches whatsoever, crystal clear and covers enough of the glass in my opinion. I agree it was a little bit difficult to separate the protective back layer when installing, but if you just pull it from the two tabs (top and bottom protector tabs), it will come off.
As I said, it's not overly noticeable, but with the screen off, you can easily tell there's quite a bit of scratching.
I purchased this via ebay (authorized reseller). They just wrote back and gave me a very fair offer. If I pay the $2 difference, they'll ship me out the ultra crystal product.
I took them up on their offer.

Ultra Crystal? You sure that's what they offered? That product was discontinued a few weeks ago because it peels up at the edge. It was replaced by the Ultra Nano, and the soon to be released Curve Crystal (the true successor)

Good point. Their email is a bit confusing, but I think they did mean the curve crystal.
keep us updated but im loving my nano so far.
Thanks for the review! I don't have the screen protector but I've been reading a lot of posts/reviews and it seems that the issues you mentioned regarding the tricky installation and frequent scratches are rather common. At the same time, users appear to be divided on the product...
In any case, hope things work out with the seller :fingers-crossed:
I have this screen protector and love it. It's very thin and easy to install. I can't even tell it's there. It doesn't peel up on the edges and works well with the cases that I have tried. I have had it for 2 weeks with no scratches. I don't put my phone in my pocket though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
You definitely can't tell it's there, it doesn't pull up, it feels like your finger is on glass and the fact that it didn't go all the way to the edges is minimally bothersome.
Install is tough and scratches are the deal breaker for me.
Will update if they do or don't honor their offer.
had a really easy time with this one. no lint at all underneath, looks barely visible, so far so good. just bought neo hybrid. with kyanROM this phone is just the best.

I love this screen protector. Came with my sgp ultra thin case (which I also love)
Thin, perfect cutouts, absolutely no orange peel, no distortion..
It does feel grippy AT FIRST. Use it for a bit and it feels like glass again
Very happy with mine. I haven't installed a cover in a couple years and I got the first one on fine and it is only visible if you look around the edge. With a Diztronic case, there is barely any exposed surface in the front. It was a bit tacky at first, but it quickly went away after using it.
I was going to buy the new full screen version, but I think this one might be better for future cases I might get.
i am not happy with this product, got it cause it sounded good and looked good but it doesnt last. i received/installed on 7/24/12 and not long after having it on my phone i started noticing small scratches from the few coins i would have in my pocket, then over the weekend i had it in the pocket of my cargo shorts with my pocket knife clipped on there aswell i pulled my phone out to mess with it and the protector was scratched to holy heck and starting to come loose around the home button, i carried my DX like this during the time i had it with no problems using a Zagg. if this is how "good" their product is i wouldnt buy anything else from them.

[REVIEW] Realook 3D Forming Film Screen Protector

The Realook 3D screen protector arrived earlier than expected. I installed it and so far it has been great. It's a dry application film but it covers the entire screen. Applying it went smoothly and the cutouts aligned perfect. It is barely noticeable and viewing angles are not affected. The film feels very smooth and fingerprints are easy to wipe off. There is an extremely small portion of exposed screen on top and along one side (can be seen in the photo) but it is negligible. I did start applying it from the bottom left corner so this could be why mine came out this way. It's a 3H hard coating so it should be slightly more durable than SPG's Curved Crystal which is 2H. My prior experiences with Realook have been excellent so I'm expecting this one to last for a while.
Since it does cover the entire screen there is a compatibility issue with TPU cases such as Diztronic. However, it does fit my Urban Armor Gear case perfectly so it may fit your heavy duty case. My other cases (Ringke SlimLite, SPG Neo Hybrid and SPG Modello) are also compatible with the Realook 3D screen protector.
I used to own the SPG Flex HD and Ultra Nano. I definitely recommend this one over those two because you don't have to deal with the issues that come with wet application screen protectors and it covers more screen than the Ultra Nano while still being just as clear. I bought the Realook 3D at Amazon for $9.99.
Items included:
-2 3D screen protection films
-Microfiber cloth with squeegee
-Alcohol pad (to clean oily fingers)
-Filament tape

I can vouch for realook. I still have mine on my original galaxy s for 2 years and it still doesn't have a scratch. They do last a long time. They are also very clear. I will definitely be ordering this.

No bubbling present anywhere on the screen. All bubbles came out easily with the squeegee and there is no lint or hair present. I applied it in the bathroom after some steam built up and all particles in the air settled. Tight TPU cases will cause lifting in the sides.

You forgot to mention how does it feel. Super smooth? Any rubbery feeling? I used the Realook for my S2 awhile back and loved it. Didn't know if the 3D forming is the same material they used for the S2 screen protectors.

Thanks for the review.
Is this protector as easily dented as SGP's Curved Crystal is now known&hated for (from the softer material used)? Take your fingernail, apply a little pressure (doesn't take much apparently), and run it down the screen to see if it leaves a groove that won't go away.
Appreciate it...

Just did it and it does have the same SPG issue. I guess this is the only type of material that will allow for dry full screen application. However, from normal use I have not experienced this groove...but I do tend to keep my nails short.

Hmm. Well that sucks - thanks.
I think I may just end up using the updated SGP Ultra Crystal version instead, then. It may not be full coverage, but it's made of a much harder plastic.
Installed it yesterday and am definitely pleased with it! Might order GLAS by SPG when a blue version comes out but in the meantime this is great.
do you think this will work with the diztronic tpu?
I have this paired with the Otterbox Commuter and all is good. You should be fine

I've tried it and it won't work with it...as noted in the OP. It looks fine for a little bit but after some time lifting occurs on the edges.

Just installed this and using it paired with an Active case. Was fairly easy to install. No bubbles or marks from the squeegee (they supply a nice rubber one unlike some of the cardboard/plastic ones that come with some others), crystal clear, and smooth when swiping between screens. Not sure how nice it will play with my Quicksand case but time will tell.
Got this from Amazon.com for $9.99 w/free shipping. Arrived in just a couple days. Comes with (2) screen protectors and I only needed one.

looks like there is about a 1mm gap all around?

Nope. For me it's only along two sides. My friend installed his perfectly without gaps. A reason could be because there is a small amount of error in the manufacturing process so someone is bound to receive one film not perfectly cut. I have no complaints about it though.

I ordered this to compare to SGPs Curved Crystal. The SGPCC I received left a very small gap between the bezel and the protector. It was a nice protector. Very prone to fingerprints, grease and smuding however. I always had these tiny rainbow streaks that would irritate the hell out of me.
I ruined the first 1 because I had a spec of dust get in there and I'm anal about that sort of thing. When removing the spec I incidentally removed a small piece of adhesive from the corner. Couldn't stand lookin at it. XD
The RL protector should arrive tomorrow or Saturday.
I've had this on for about 1 week and I'm a little disappointed. The screen protector is not self healing, I have numerous dents and grooves. I just noticed a nice scrap on the protector tonight. I will order the SGP Curve tomorrow in hopes that it will be a better product.

Samsung screen protector

Picked up the Samsung Screen Protector yesterday - knew it was a plastic one not tempered glass, but after experiencing issues with the tempered glass protectors on my wife's S7 Edge I thought I'd just go with the one Samsung sold.
Unfortunately I'm not happy with it at all - looked fine on the phone by itself, but kept lifting up on the edges as soon as I put a case on it (Spigen Slim Armor)
So given the choice of screen protector or case - I think I'll go with case.
Even when I pushed the edges down while the case was on it still kept lifting - this is what it looked like after an hour in my pocket:

So if you're considering the Samsung branded screen protector - beware.
Shoot, I literally just ordered one. About to cancel. Thanks for the heads-up.

I got one of these as well. Took it off after a day because it looked awful. Currently running naked which makes me nervous
Nothing was available when I preordered the phone. So I ordered the Liquid Nano stuff from Amazon. It's supposed to fill in any of the imperfections in the glass and help prevent cracks and scratches. So far so good, but it hasn't been a week yet. I'm a little skeptical but I haven't seen any screen protectors that look worth a damn. I don't believe we'll ever see a good curved glass protector, one with adhesive on all sections of the glass. I will say the liquid nano seems to repel skin oils really well and it says it'll last 2 years. I'll give it a month before I say it's good or not.

Where did you buy it?

Bought this too. It's fully compatible with the Ringke Slim case since it doesn't lift around the edges. The only issue I've had with this screen protector is that the edges seem to collect dust - after 2 days, it looks like there's a thin white border all around. At least it doesn't lift with my case.
The Suprecool Screen Protector for S8 Plus in itself is great, I cannot even feel it, and it feels like it will be at least some form of protection, I have yet to drop it, and don't really feel like testing my Phone.
Can clearly see that it's your case peeling the protector, get a new case that doesn't lift the protector off, apply it correctly and you will have no issues.
Im using the same protector but with the clear case from Samsung wich doesn't peel the protector like yours is doing, no issues, ill take one pic tomorrow.
I ended up getting a pack of these after I posted on April 24th and I was able to successfully install the first one flawlessly and it's still on looking great. No peeling or anything. Wasn't hard to install either. Had a few small bubbles that disappeared within an hour.

Any updates regarding the liquid nano? Which brand did you bought?
I think it's not available in India
Edit:- Here it is.. but I have doubt that it's not genuine because all 38 reviews from out side of India

I use the official Samsung Screen Protector and also use the Alcantara case and have had no problems. In fact, all the cases I've used have had no problems with this screen protector. There is a very slight edge lift on all the edges, but it shouldn't interfere with the screen and it shouldn't continue past the bezels. Mine was installed in the Samsung Store by an employee.

This lip on all the edges was actually my problem, in fact it was a little bit more pronounced on the right edge; but you could feel it clearly when swiping and it obviously collects dust in time, looking more and more terrible....

Hm, that's interesting. It hasn't happened to me... yet. I've had the screen protector for about a month. I'll update if this does happen unless I get some major scratch soon.

I don't see anything wrong with the transparency of the screen protector. It seems good to me. Maybe you got a bad one?

I don't know. But it was perfectly aligned and installed by the seller in Samsung Store.....
If you say it didn't raise further from the edges and didn't collect dust in about a month, maybe I'll try another one...
Thanks!
Got this and no issues with it yet. The screen feels more natural (like the actual phone) as opposed to the spigen one i used - which ironically the reason why i changed was because it was lifting after a coupe of hours.
the case is the issue - not the screen protector.
Re the nano liquid - waste of money. Mine slide down my ironing board when I folded it, and gently hit the floor and folded face down onto wood flooring - result was a chip in the middle of the glass. These merely help to keep the screen a little cleaner. Thats all.

Question POLL: How long have you had your Fold, and did the inner display crack?

CAST VOTES HERE: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/615389-android/79863368 (Registration NOT required!)
So there's a poll in progress that I started on another website, and I wanted to broaden the scope of it by gathering the experiences of XDA's users. Kinda goes without saying, but the poll option wording was crafted to very vaguely capture how long someone's owned their Fold (ANY GENERATION), and how the screen's held up. If you've got a couple seconds, go there and let me know how your experience.
I want this to spread all over the popular tech communities where Z Fold owners are... maybe this catches fire, maybe it gets a couple votes and fades into obscurity... but I wanna try.
well mine I had for about a month and a half now I haven't had issues but sometimes half the screen has delayed part i don't know if it a software thing or my screen but it seems fine works good I use a rugged casemate case to protect it which helps a lot since the phone is still kinda fragile I can say the screen has improved as for the toughness of it bc I had a z flip 1st gen I loved it never had issues with it I hope my screen doesn't go bc I would have to wait on Samsung but so far I love the phone but wished the cams was better but they do what I need it to do but one thing to keep your fingernails cut bc if you don't it will dent the screen even if don't realize it now the battery life has improved on android 12 I do say that bc I was only getting about 9 hours of heavy useage now im getting about 12 to 14 hours which is good but I dont charge my phone full as it degrades the battery as time goes and what did you have issues with your z fold 3 ? and you should post on reddit to on the z fold 3 communities on there bc there is people that have had screen cracks and all that but all i gotta say is keep the phone clean thats does help alot and its does keep the dirt and micro dirt from gettiing into the phone i always use air duster but i go at a angle at the hinge area and just be careful and i havent had anyhting get into my phone as of this time of me typing this out but good thing this phone is alot more durable since they add water resistant but i hope this help and also when cleaning the outer and inner screens always use a micro fiber towel and a lens cleaner or screen cleaner its does help it stay cleaner and helps with finger prints but i do highly recommend this case for any z fold 3 owner https://case-mate.com/products/tough-black-plus-galaxy-z-fold3-5g
I've had my GZF3 since release and have had no problem at all. I replaced the outer screen protector with Whitestone tempered glass. I removed the inner screen protector.
I have had mine since a couple weeks after release (shipping delays) and I am STILL on the ORIGINAL factory installed screen protectors on BOTH screens and the ONLY issue I have is that there is a slight scratch on the inner screen that is 100% MY FAULT.
Otherwise, perfectly fine here.
Received mine Oct 6 last year. Inner screen still intact with factory screen protector. I alternate using fingers and SPen Pro on it. Outer screen had a small cut when I was changing cases before so I have a Ringke tempered glass on it. Other than that it's all good
Since November 1st. No issues. Both factory installed protectors still holding up. Been in the Aramid Latercase since day 1. Inner screen looks perfect.
One thing I've noticed in the past few days is the effort to fold and unfold seems less. Like it's broken in? Not loose like a TransAM with 100K miles mind you, but just a bit smoother. And completely silent.
With the colder weather I've been resistant to open the phone up if it has been sitting on the seat of my truck. Been getting used to that skinny outer screen.
i've had mine since August 2021; original screen protector still on the inner screen, no cracks and no other issues.

A bit off topic but may I see a photo of the phone with the tempered glass installed? I'm looking for a tempered glass that is case friendly and coincidentally, ringke is in the list.
I've had my Fold 3 for 4 months now .. 2 months into it I opened it up and heard Crack Crack crack.... ohhhhh noooo.. Ended up was only the screen protector it came with was peeling up from the crease. Ended up taking it off and all been well with the screen. No issues so far. Been using the cheap out of it everyday cause I'm still off work. Thinking of getting getting another screen protector for the inside but for now both screens are raw dogging it lol....

I hope the pic is clear enough. Here's the Ringke tempered glass on the fold.

Likewise! I wish I'd have recorded me doing this, but when I got the raised corners everyone in the reviews talked about, I hit the corners with a heat gun and they were gone in under a minute.
I like to rock my phones with nothing but a skin on the back, and a tempered glass screen protector... but my skin's started lifting, so I at least have to find a thin clear case that plays nice with the dome.
