I want to buy a tempered glass screen for N5 within a week or two. But I can't decide between :
1)Mime Ghost Glass or Feather Glass
2)Glass-M tempered glass
3)Nillkin tempered glass
4)SPIGEN GLAS
Currently, I am slightly inclined towards Mime(read good reviews). I heard that SPIGEN GLAS has some issues and the fix can take a while. I guess that is out of my option. My Requirements are : a) the touch should work fine b) no bubbles c)should work fine with a case.
Can you please suggest me which one to buy?
Thanks in advance,

I just received my Nillkin protector. I'm hoping to install it tonight so I will try to post some pictures for you. My first impressions are that the packaging is great and the camera protector (not glass) seems great. The kit for installation is pretty good too. Can't wait to install it.
If it turns out to be rubbish I'll plump for a MIME one. Everyone speaks very highly of them.

I had the (defective) Spigen GLAS.tr, and am still waiting for that replacement.
Applied the MIME Ghost last night and I can say that it's one of the best glass protectors I've ever used in terms of feel, rounded edges, adhesion (even after a couple of pull-offs and re-applications, to get rid of specks with scotch tape), and so forth.
Put it this way - I have a replacement Spigen on the way at some point, as well as a pair of the Nillkin units - but I just finished ordering another MIME Ghost in case something happens to this one.
Think about orzly glass screen protector, put mine about a week ago flawlessly, no bubbles, very good touch and feeling response, cut out are perfect
And is laminated glass, a thin plastic sheet coupled with glass, same as car windscreen, don't know if other are laminated or tempered glass

I bought the Nillkin tempered glass screen protector. First time ever using tempered glass and I will never go back to anything else. It simply blows me away and looks great. It genuinely looks like I'm going naked screen wise. No air bubbles, comes with instructions and all the necessities. Overall I highly recommend. :good:

That's good to know. Mine should arrive today or tomorrow!
I bought the Nilkin, and I am waiting for it. I bought it mainly because the price was low, I hope it will be of good quality
Glad somebody has had a good experience with the NIllkin. Didn't get a chance to fit mine tonight so will have to do it tomorrow. Do you have a case with yours Benman715?

I relieved the MIME and just put it on. It looks great fits great and I can't even tell its there.
Only downside is it took me a couple tries to get it on straight and now I have a couple pieces of lint under it

I've had my Nillkin fitted for the past 24hours or so, I'm very happy with it. Excellent quality, fitted up perfectly, looks/feels great and it was a good price.
I loved the MIME Ghost glass and Feather glass on the HTC One and will be looking to get one of them soon for the N5. My Spigen GLAS.tR totally carcked it so got a refund for that. Never tried the Nillkin. Has anyone actually tested the theory of the Nillkin being "anti-explosion"? LOL.
Anyone tested these with polarized sunglasses? Specifically the Mime or Nillikin

Can anyone with any of these glass screen protectors comment on wether there is or would be any affect of the cutouts being over the camera and sensor versus only a cutout for the earpiece.
Also Can anyone report whether any of these glass screen protectors resist fingerprints well or not?
Just ordered a Nillkin, will let y'all know what its like when I get it.

Yes I do. I have the spigen hybrid case. Overall I'm smitten with the look and feel of tempered glass. The case is a fingerprint magnet unfortunately. Best of luck with everyone who ordered tempered glass. Its well worth it IMO.
Does anyone have any photos of MIME, Nilkin, Glass-M? (I have Spigen GLAS.tr which has a lifted corner)
But I heard that Spigen GLAS nano's are coming out soon.
Is anyone as annoyed as me with Spigel's absolutely ridiculous line of product and naming choices? No clarity between feature, functionality, what's what, etc. Add in the Amazon factor and it's pure chaos. They might have the best cases, but they need some serious help in business management. If I ran their company, I'd have addressed this immediately.
Anecdotally, I'm nowhere near the first confused person. Someone much smarter than I (which, really, is most people) found their offerings wildly confusing and simply ordered one of everything before deciding to return all but the one which suited him best. I did the same given their complete inanity.

I got the defective Spigen glass and just received nillkin tempered glass and installed it about an hour ago.
It seems good overall and unlike Spigen glass, it has a cut out for the proximity sensor.
there are small bubbles with nillkin protector and I am hoping it would disappear by tomorrow.
I've always loved spigen's protectors, but this time it was a big NO NO.
I mentioned this on another thread but my Orzly after 5days of use was scratched quite a bit. I've no idea how as it only sat in my pocket.
I have a Nilikin on order but I'm currently using a £5 'helicopter blade coating' protector I got on eBay and it's great, no Orange peel and you really couldn't tell it's there. Still like the glass protectors though so I'll go with the Nilikin when it arrives.

Mime ghost glass is out of stock. I have sent them an email. If it won't be available within a week, I am buying nillkin. Or as someone suggested, I may buy both.
Hey guys,
I'm hopefully getting the Zenfone 2 next week and I wanted to know what phone cases and screen protectors you can recommend. :highfive:
The Nilkin Nature one is super nice, especially if you want to people to be able to see how nice your phone looks. I went with a Monoy tempered glass screen protector as it does not cover the proximity sensor.
Here are links to both on Amazon:
Nilkin case- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W58R2KG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00
Monoy tempered glass- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XONLRSY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
I ordered this glass protector, i think the cheapest one you can find on Amazon:
www.amazon.com/Nacodex®-Asus-5-5inch-Tempered-Protector/dp/B00X4JAD06/
but i still did not get a chance to test it, the one I ordered arrived cracked, but it has openings for the sensors and front camera though
Nice, thanks for the information.
I know it's a new phone and I would like to get it myself, but I wanted to find out some good cases and glass screens for the handset before I get the handset!!

I ordered the original temepered glass screenprotector with my OnePlus X and I'm really disappointed about it. I want to know if anyone else has the same issue.
There's still air all around the edges. Really regret peeling of the plastic protector that comes pre-installed .
Wanted to order a Orzly one but they pulled it out of the website( maybe the same problems??)
Noticed this on the Nillkin site: "Because the phone has posted under arc, film after about a slight white border, is normally" .....
Is there or will there be a better one, or has anyone good experience with this type of protectors on curved screens?
Here's a picture of the original protector installed
did you buy it from OP store?

It does look like that indeed. But it is perfectly aligned with the speaker and screen. Its not my first screen protector that i apply.. So I think it's not my fault..
I contacted Orzly today to ask if they are planning to release the Tempered Glass Protector for the OPX, as they where available a week ago as pre-order but not on the site anymore.
This was the answer I got:
"Unfortunately we are not planning to realised Tempered Glass Screen protector for the One Plus X. one plus x screen is too curved and we are not pleased with the fitting of the glass screen."
Seems like they have the same problem...
Is your glass 2.5D too (not talking about the screen of course )

No the original one isnt. But that doesnt has anything to do with the fitting to the screen.
I'm bought this one: https://oneplus.net/oneplus-x-tempered-glass-screen-protector
I ordered 2 of them, already have the phone so hope the shipping will not be too slow. I'll tell you when I get them.

You better use film rather than tgsp with such curved screen.
My father has the same problem with Note4 - edges of tempered glass is not round but straight, and screen is slightly round on the edges. I also planed to buy glass protector for my OPX but now i see that is not so good idea. I better wait for some hard case and i will live that original screen protector and i wish you well, maybe there will be curved tempered glass for our phones... who knows...
I ordered a similar one off Ebay. The same happened to me. I'm pretty good at applying screen protectors. There is air all around the edges. I bought a similar one for my wifes S5 and that went on perfect you can't even tell it's on. I'm sticking with it as the glass ones have saved my skin on other phones more than once.

For the looks maybe but a tgsp protects the screen much more!
I also ordered the NILLKIN, because I wasnt happy with the original one. I ordered the H + with rounded edges.
It was delivered today and was going to hesitate to go try this, eventually just went ahead and tried under the guise, "it can not be worse!"
I came to the conclusion that it was exactly the same size so probably had the same problem as the original.
And that was true, unfortunately, ...
So NILLKIN has the same problem as the original of OnePlus!
But!...
In contrast to the original is the NILLKIN H + rounded off at the edges so that feels better. Something also bothered me!
Conclusion, this is one better than the original! (Imho)
Someone on OP forums speaked about Sundatom Tempered Glass 9H 0.2mm 2.5D arc edge
One more to test....
2.5D means that only the edges of glass are rounded I don't think this cover whole screen (I hope I'm wrong)

Can you add a link ? Couldn't find it on web.
I've been searching for tempered glass that doesn't fit too well, because then the case would ruin it, but isn't too small either. I've only found these 2 types so far, and a common theme was that the edges of the glass wouldn't stick properly. Can anyone help me out with this?

which one?
since the phone screen is nearly edgeless you cannot use both a tempered glass with a good antishock protective case .. so i choose the case it have a raised tip that protects the screen with the plastic film originally installed on the screen

Mine fits samsung silicone just fine. Just line it up with your camera cut out. I'd imagine it would fit
I ordered the whitestone dome TG to use with the ringke slim and it looks like its either going to be a very tight fit or it wont fit. I dont want to attempt to fit it as il be returning it to amazon
Anyone find a good glass screen protector for the front?
The whitestone ones are not that great. Im going to try with a Hydrogel version
I have been using hydrogel and it's great. I even scratched the screen protector with a tool at work. I thought I had to replace it but a day later it's as good as new. I am very surprised at the self healing.

I am using the Spigen Glas with the Spigen Slim Fit P case and it is sized to fit nicely inside the front raised edges. I really like it for use with Spigen cases. Not sure how it will look with other cases with thinner edged front protectors.
My front and main screen protectors started developing small scratches. I'm too OCD to let that slide so I removed both of them. Much happier now, lol.

Anyone going with no screen protector on the front? I had 2 of the ones in the first post in this thread but messed them both when I tried to install them. Was thinking about just going without one and was wondering if anyone else was as well?
