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.

nillkin
i have the nilkin on and its not cut properly !
I use the Nillkin, but you can't really go wrong with either case. A majority of people seem to like both of these cases when it comes to screen quality. I can't say much about the cutouts though, since some people think it's too long. Consider the Orzly too!
Get the Godosmith

you have 1 I can review?
I bought both screen protectors at once, since I was expecting my OPO in the mail and didn't know which SP would arrive in time. But since my Nillkin does have rounded edges and is cut correctly, I won't have any reason to try the Godosmith unless or until the Nillkin shatters.
I'd love to know why some Nillkin SPs have sharp corners and others do not. My assumption would be that the sharp ones are counterfeit. There's a code on the packaging of official Nillkin products that you can check.
I've checked codes for Nillkin cases in the past and they've always proved authentic. I didn't bother with the Nillkin SP because it fit correctly and the edges were rounded.
Nillkin rocks.
Im not sure about the Nillkin but I purchased and installed the Godosmith on my OnePlus, looks and feels great, no complaints here.
Hi Everyone,
I recently received my OnePlus One, and it is pretty amazing.
Now the trouble that I have is choosing which glass tempered screen to get.
Rhinoshield seems very attractive, but at $25 that is a premium. If it is indeed the best, then it would be worth every penny.
Now I understand that there are many threads on Glass Tempered screen protectors, and I'm here looking for a definitive answer, as reading upon thread after thread would be inefficient.
So what is the consensus from xda on glass tempered screen brands?
Go with orzly tempered glass from Amazon. Its like 14 bucks shipped and just as good as the higher cost ones.

+1, I have the Orzly as well and its great! I dont believe in paying over $20 for a tempered glass screen protector. The Orzly is smooth feeling and with its rounded edges makes it a premium feeling protector. :good:
I have the Orzly as well, with an aluminum bumper. It fits perfectly and works well.
Dont waste your money on Rhinoshield, its a pet film and got scratches dont worth the money, better get a tempered glass protector
I have orzly too and they are just fine for me! Haven't tried any one more expensive though

I'm very satisfied with the Nillkin 9H Hardness tempered glass Screen Protector... $9.28 shipped from ebay. Fits perfect with my Diztronic case. Been in hard use for about a month with no scratches from carrying in pocket and laying on the desk. Wife carries her OPO phone in her cluttered purse with the same setup and no scratches either.
I have the Orzly and noticed some scratches near the corners, the fit and feel are great though. When I had the MIME on my Nexus 5 I would always lay it face down and didnt seem to scratch like the Orzly. Has anyone else experienced this?
I'm using Mime's tempered glass and have for every phone I've had, it keeps the screen as sensitive as it is without one, is super thin and I like how the warranty works out with it if I break it (never have and won't [fingers crossed]). It doesn't get in the way of cases like the fold-able ones or regular bumpers. I'd recommend it just because I use it on just about everything!
Ai have this one: http://m.ebay.com/itm/221498913097
It fits perfect, i love it

Orzly is better than the Nilken.

Just got this protector myself and so far I am quite impressed with it compared to the old standard plastic protectors I used to use.

Awesome, did you notice any drop in signals when applying the aluminum bumper?
Tempered glass is the way to go, films like rhino shield scratch up too easily.
Got my first ever tempered glass screen for Christmas, orzly. It's perfect. I wouldn't consider anything else.
my opo is protected with a nillkin 9h glass

Exactly my reason for getting one. Its not the protection that's up for debate with me, its the oleophobic coating and superior scratch resistance.
What do you guys think of the CaseBase tempered glass screen protector?
Hi guys, please can you recommend the best screen protectors for the S8+... they have to be case friendly. :good:

I'm currently using Spigen Galaxy S8 Plus Screen Protector NeoFlex with the "TECH21 Evo Check" Case with no issues.
I tried almost all whats available in the market, you name it, i tried it (expect for the zagg sphhire, still waiting for it).. Glass and film, tried them all, and i can highly recommend the iq shield wet film, so far the only one that you almost can't see it there, and definitely case friendly (subject to you applying it at the right position as a millimeter makes all the difference).. Try it and you will see.. Spigen wet film will be my second option, only its a bit more visible after applying it and more finger print magnite..
Alllllll, and i mean alllllll glass screen protectors are worthless, i tried at least 10 brands, cheap and expensive, and non works or sticks well, and definitely non is case friendly, the once that are, you can clearly see the adhesive through the glass after applying it, and that makes it soooo ugly..
I've got a Caseology (Spigen Tough Armor) and a MoKo 9h glass protector and they aren't compatible.
BearMotion with icarez glass. Pretty good combo.

Is this the iq shield protector you are referring to? They have so many

I tried a Zagg Glass protector and it goes on very simple.. good coverage and touch resistance was fine.. Slipped the phone into a Spigen Neo Hybrid and the Zagg popped off.. So Not compatible at all..

Yes its
Yep, spigen tough armor and some tempered glass protectors aint compatible. Pushes up. Same thing for any other film protector for the tough armor. Pushes up on almost all i have tried. havent found one that works so im getting over this spigen tough armor.
I also have the IQ Shield case friendly and it works great with my 2 Supcase and Spigen Hybrid.
I bought this gel type screen protector, it fits flawlessly edge to edge and no bubbles or wrinkles! It's a wet install but it's so easy!

Awesome guys, thank you. :good:
I just ordered the iq one that was suggested. I have an otterbox defender so I'll see how it works with that case. From what I've read the glass protectors do not play nice with most cases.
I have the Ghost Armor wet film on my S8+ and think it's one of the better ones out there. I got a glass screen protector free with my purchase, but it is pretty terrible so I decided to go with a film one. And the Ghost Armor is case friendly.
I've got the GPEL glass screen protector with a spigen ultra hybrid case. No issues
I have the wet install skinomi case friendly protector.
It fits great and doesnt even look like its on there. Ive been using these since the note edge days.
They sell a 2pack for around $8 ship

Bought a spigen neo flex but its on b/o due to manufacturer flaw per seller.
In the mean time using one i got fro tmo and its fine except the edges that lift up and bubble.
Tested the Orzly TGSP with the Spigen Thin Fit, Rugged Armor and Orzly FlexiCase - worked with both the FlexiCase and Thin Fit, but NOT the Rugged Armor.

I am planning to buy Spigen case but I am worried that Orzly Tempered Glass wont be compatible for my oneplus 5t. So if anyone using this combo, please comment. thanks.
You will have trouble getting any of the 3D glass screen protectors with the Spigen case. Some people have sort of gotten the case to fit around the 3D screen protectors, but they will eventually lift the screen protector. For that case you will need to use one of the flat 2D ones. I tried 5 different ones with my Spigen case, and the only one that actually stuck around all the edges was the Nillkin brand. It unfortunately also was the most expensive.
