Has anyone tested out the case and screen protector combo above? Nice price, but how good is the screen protector and also how does the case feel?
Anyone tested these?
Nobody had any experiences with this brand?
Ask again? Lol
The case is nice. Still testing... Note isn't much thicker but screen protector is a piece of ****. Tiny bit too big for the screen (bubbles on the edges and around the screen) and there is no hole for start/home button!!!

Hi,
I own this LGND case from Incipio,
Very good build quality but a bit thick but still ok for my pant's pockets.
Hope it helps.
For me it's nice but too expensive?
I bought the Spigen Curved Glass screen protector, and I absolutely love the fit. I have zero bubbles anywhere on my screen and everything is laying flat. However, the case I have keeps making the sides of the screen protector come up. Here is the case I have now (which I freaking love):
http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main...id=275&zenid=1bb0920acd2cedd0634ccf906fa15569
Is there anyone else that has this screen protector and can recommend a case that doesn't make the sides of the protector come up?

I use the Spigen curved crystal screen protector also. Here are the cases that I have that work without peeling the edges up:
UAG
Element Eclipse
Spigen Modello - tpu

Thanks for your response! The UAG is nice, but too bulky. The Element Eclipse looks amazing, but I'll pay $65 for a case the same day I win a lottery. As for Spigen, I don't see a Modello for the SGS3, but I don't like any of their cases. I'd get a flip cover case, but the ones I've seen have no protection for the top or bottom of the phone.
I do very much appreciate your feedback, I'm just hoping for a case that I like and that works with this protector.
The Rock Quicksand has been great for me.

FYI, I decided to try the Seidio Surface case, thinking that if I could slide the case on it wouldn't be a problem. Fail. Totally pulls the sides of the protector up. Unless I can find a similar, minimalist case that will work with this screen protector, I'll have to just get a different protector.
A little old, but all the cases in on my crappy blog worked fine with the Curved Glass.
Including all metal bumpers.
Spigen Ultra Thin Air
is there such thing aside from the spigen curved one? i heard the spigen ones are garbage. i've used skinomi (they were all right, not as durable), they covered 95% of the screen. the zagg invisible shields were garbage, wasted 25$ and thought it covers the whole screen but it left a huge gap.
Try Tippin Screen protector.
tippin is where its at for full curved protectors.. just remember any case that wraps around the edge tightly is probably not compatible
Does this tippin cover as good if not better than SGP Curved Crystal? The reason I ask is the images on Amazon show that it does not cover the portion immediately above the ear speaker. I love the curved crystal except for the dents that won't disappear. Does the tippin have this problem? Thanks!
the tippin pretty much covers all. ear speaker, sensors+camera, and home button are cut out. if you press on it hard enough with your nail, itll leave a dent. will it go away eventually? dont know, probably not. i think the tippin scratches kind of easily. i noticed a small rainbow line. not sure if its a scratched screen protector or cracked glass. another thing about these screen protectors...you have a small margin for error for placement. i was ocd at first and wanted it on 100% perfect alignment. i tried the tape the side method. thought i had it on perfect, but nope. a small sliver didnt stick because it was on slightly to the left. took the whole thing off and could not put it on as good as before. i spent almost an hr, gave up and ended up with even worse alignment. so my advice is get it aligned the way you want it on the 1st try. since these were a ***** to apply, id like a screen protector thats between full and gapped coverage. but the clarity is good and i think it gets slightly less fingerprints than the naked screen.

The Spigen is good. I would say they are far superior to the Skinomi ones.
I went this route. This is now in my top spot for screen protectors.
http://chrismchoi.blogspot.com/2013/03/seidio-vitreo.html
This is what I use. It covers the entire screen and is smooth. It also seems to repel fingerprints and is somewhat scratch resistent. Most people looking at my phone can't even tell there is a screen protector on it.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I really like the Sigen Curved Crystal but am annoyed with the dents. When new, it is barely noticeable at all. I really wish this were available in more durable finish. The Seidio glass screen protector looks really nice but will not work with my case (Element Eclipse)
I am assuming the Realook is almost the exact same as the SGP curved crystal. The cutouts look the same and the hardness rating is the same. Do you notice dents that don't go away? If I were to use my fingernail to type, the screen protector would become pitted all over.

I don't notice any dents, but I use swype as my keyboard of choice. Do you push hard when texting? I let my 4 and 6 year old use my phone often, and I still don't notice much wear. There are a couple of tiny scrathes on my screen protector, and they are only noticeable in direct light at certain angles. I have had the protector on for about 3 months. My old protector (Zagg HD) showed fingernail dents and nicks about a week after I put it on.

the realook 3d forming is essentially the same thin material as the SGP curved crystal. It does dent very easily, but I do find that the dents flatten out and get much better after a day or two. It's not self-healing by any means, but the depth of the dents actually decreases and becomes almost invisible to the eye if the original dent isn't very deep. But I would echo everyone's advice on this thread: these full screen protectors most certainly will not work with almost every tpu case. Any tight fitting case will push up the corners of the protector no matter what you do. I learned the hard way and had to throw out 3 of them. So the cheap ebay s-curve/s-line tpu cases, diztronic, and mercury cases will not work with these protectors unless you get very lucky with your placement. Though I have all these cases and none of them worked with the realook 3d forming screen protector

Thanks Jottle. I was thinking it is probably the same material as the curved crystal. I have found 3 cases that the full coverage works with: UAG, Eclipse Element and SGP Modello. I love the look of the full coverage with these cases but with the dents, I have to replace the protector about once every 2 months.

I am currently using the Seidio Surface case with my Realook screen protector. It works without any problems. I have also used the Rock Quicksand case and the Incipio Sylicriic without any issues.

Just wanted to add that I've now tried the Tippin full coverage screen protectors as well. They are incompatible with my case as well. There are some tpu cases that will work with full coverage protectors. But the extremely tight ones that barely cover the corners will not.
Hey MIME owners
it seems like wherever i read everyone only got the ghost and i was wondering why?
i thought the Feather was lighter, thinner and protects as well (which is why it costs more)
is that not the case? because i prefer a-bit thicker if it protects better (the ghost that is)
I would say this: If you'll be using a case, go with the feather. I just put the Diztronic case on my Nexus 5 with ghost and the corners immediately started to lift. If you aren't planning on using a case, go with the ghost. It has rounded edges which will help prevent chipping.
[edit]Although I haven't confirmed that the feather works with cases. I believe I read it in one of the Mime main threads.

Cruzerlite TPU cases can work with mime ghost without lifting the corners:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512135&page=17
It's strange, because my SGP steinheil, which is plastic screen protector, has it's corner lifted when using those cases. Other SGP cases work fine though.
I think it's actually correlated to how precise you installed the screen protector. Mine is a bit more inclined to the left, thus my bottom left corner is lifted when using cruzerlite tpu case.

Oh ok. Then I think it depends on the tightness of the case. Since depending on which side I slip first into the case, the other side is where the corner starts to lift.

I have ordered MIME Ghost glass. I too had the same question before buying. I sent them an email. this is their reply:
Our Ghost Glass protectors are thicker (0.32mm) and offer slightly more drop protection, while our Feathers are half as thick and twice as light. Our glass is cut from the same source, so surface hardness is identical.

Xposted from diff thread:
Got my Mime Feather to replace the defective, Glas.tr. Early impressions:
Feather is much thinner, easier to apply, seems more oleophobic and has no bubbles (when naked). Can't compare the smoothness bw the two but it seems the Feather is just slightly better, maybe its because of being more oleophoic.
When i put the Cruzerlite bugdroid case on, the Feather right corner does have a bubble. IMO, the Feather is much better and cheaper than the Glas.tr

well it seems like some people also said they put the Feather on perfectly, because u can actually pull the Diztronics a-bit to be ABOVE the ghost.
also im wondering what if u got the Diztronics and you put it on and THEN put the mime on, and align it using that?

i used feather and its a perfect fit with the official bumper case, if Diztronics is the same as the official one maybe that would work:fingers-crossed:
I would say this -- if you're at all (and I mean even the slightest bit) rough with your device, don't even consider the feather.
First off I was trying to push out some corner bubbles I had when installing the protector, I pushed with my thumbnail, not stupidly hard ... and cracked the edge. I thought it was a fluke, ended up doing the same dammed thing on another corner knowing I couldn't press hard. I sent an email to Mime, explained exactly what happened and they sent me a code for the Ghost glass. As I was waiting for the new glass to arrive I somehow chipped the glass again, this time about 1/2 inch from the top of the screen. I have no idea what caused that one.
For the record I've had 2 other devices with Mime Ghost, and an iPad Mini with a BodyGuardz Glass screen protector that have no issues. Personally I think the feather is just to thin for its own good.
See attached. That's one week with the feather glass. I have the Ghost on there now. I'll definitely buy from Mime again .. but I know better than to get the feather next time!
Pardon my ignorance, I ordered a ghost. I just wanted to know if these glass protectors provide any other advantage over plastic ones except the touch feel that they give

This a thousand times over.
The benefits are a bit hard to put in to words. It's more than just the touch feel. There's a solidity to a glass protector that you can't get with plastic. There's an "invisibility" that comes with glass - even with the clearest plastic protector, you still know it's there. The glass protectors also stick better in my experience. You can toss the phone in your pocket without worrying about an edge lifting up.
Again, it's really hard to explain how big a difference it is, but as Philly Jim said ... once you go glass you can never go back. The first time I bought one, I really questioned my sanity. Now, I don't even consider the other options and I factor the glass into my device cost.
Hello dear users,
Please recommend some protective accessories for OP3T. I took a look on what is trending but i saw different opinions about it.
My choice until now are Rhino Shield products.
What do you recommend?

I received a Rhinoshield bumper case for review which I only got today, so I won't post my review on xda for a tad bit after some usage.
But it ripped the top of my dbrand skin, kinda hard to put on. It's lightweight which is nice, but it feels really weird on the sides and wiggles a bit more down the left and right side after it was such a pain and a tight fit to get on.
I'm sure it will protect the device really well, but I don't like the build feel of it. Quality like I said.. as good as they say, but it feels a tad bit cheap and I don't like the wiggle.

I'm not 100% sure but if you want one that covers 90% of the screen and has the adhesive on the entire screen and not just the sides, the tempered glass FULL curved one from the official OnePlus website is the only decent one
best one I've tried so far (and I've tried a few) is the Orzly
https://www.amazon.co.uk/OnePlus-Pr...id=1491429410&sr=8-3&keywords=Orzly+oneplus+3.
For the bumper I'm quite happy with the Spigen Rugged Harmor:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/OnePlus-Sp...=1491429636&sr=8-1&keywords=spigen+oneplus+3t
So far, like the previous reply, my best experience has been with the orzly tgsp. And both the spigen rugged armor and neo hybrid provide great protection. Plus the orzly fits well with both of those cases. Idky the orzly gets so much hate from people. I only see the dot matrix and any reflectiveness when the screen is off and sitting on my table
Another vote for the Spigen rugged armor case and one for the Diztronic, both slim cases with good matte finish and feel. The Spigen fits tighter though.
