Is anyone interested in getting a Feather+ glass screen protector from MimeUSA? I emailed them about their selection for the G3 and all they currently have is the Ghost Glass (which I believe is 0.3mm thick). I emailed them asking if they will be releasing the Feather+ and they stated that if they get enough demand for it they would definitely make them. Send them an email if you're interested!
I've always used Spigen glass products on my previous phones (iphone 4, 5, 5s) and went with the Glas.tr nano slim this time as well with my G3. But I did get a Feather+ for my 5s after the Spigen one had cracked. I was extremely happy with it. It was cheaper than the one from Spigen, and the oleophobic coating on it lasted A LOT longer as well.
I've currently got the ghost protector on my g3. I really like it. I had the ghost protector on my note 3 and liked it too. Their products are quality and they stand behind their warranty (40% off purchase of a new one no questions asked). Plus, it's American made and an American company. Living in the US I'm more inclined to buy from those companies who make their products here. I recommend them to anyone. Definitely purchase from them.

I just made a purchase of the Ghost Glass and look forward to using it. I was really hoping for the Feather+ but I'm alright with the Ghost haha. Quick question if that's alright with you. Does the screen protector have the top portion cut our like a lot of the glass screen protectors in the market, or does it only have a cut out for the speaker?
The only cut out is for the ear piece at the top. It makes it really clean looking. Most of the time I don't even know that I have it on. Covers the full front. Doesn't have any effect on pictures taken with the front cam either. Just a really good product. Just don't try to reapply it after you've set it. Make sure you get all dust and hair and finger prints off the screen and then lay it down and you'll be good. The thing applies itself to the screen and is bubble free.

They are awesome!
I had the Ghost glass on my Note 3, it broke, and after a couple of emails back and forth, they decided to ship me a new one, for my G3, 100% free! No shipping or anything! The reason was that they forgot to reply to my email, and I had to nudge them, a couple of months after the one for the Note broke My fault for forgetting? Their fault for forgetting? Who cares, I'm SO SO SO happy with the Ghost on my G3
Would recomend MIME to ANYONE!

Funny thing... I had my first one for my G3 break after I stupidly tried to remove a hair from under it. I ended up cracking a small piece and it wouldn't lay down without a bubble under it. I sent them a picture of it and asked just for a 40% off code to buy another one. They ended up sending me a code for a free replacement with free shipping. I also had replaced one on my Note 3 and they quickly sent me a 40% off replacement code. I've had nothing but great customer service from them.

But are they more expensive than companies with comparable product quality like spigen for example? Not even close. They are way more competitive with pricing and their service is second to none. For quality and service three is really only one choice.

Here is a response I received today.
We are in the process of gauging demand for the G3 Feather. If we receive enough requests for this glass, we will definitely make it happen!
So if you are interested then let them know!

Don't get a Spigen screen protector. This is my 4th one with issues. It cracked for no reason I didn't drop it. I purchased the regular MIME one and it's easily 100x better. I emailed them about the feather hopefully enough people will so they can produce it.
Here is my Spigen that just randomly cracked.

I really do love mime and they have awesome customer service! I just won't get the Feather Glass any more... It looks and feels awesome but it is way too fragile. Barely tape the edge of it and it will crack. Remember it'd not curved at all. Stick the the ghost I have had a much better time with it.

Yeah the edge of the feather glass for my M8 cracked after I dropped something on it. It probably would have survived if it was curved like the Feather+. Good thing about MIME's support is the half off code they give for a replacement.

Ya they only seem to have the Feather+ for iPhone... Tell you the truth though if you use a case on your LG g3... Might as well go with the ghost glass since it will sit below the lip of the case anyway.

Would somebody mind putting a pic of the mime? I'm leaning towards that one over spigen. I currently have skinomi which is great but it leaves to much space on the edges. Its meant for cases. But I love the coating on it. So smooth. Is mime like that?

Does anyone know where I can buy a screen protector that will arrive in Michigan before my phone arrives this week? Skinomi is not what I'm looking for either. If it's not cheaper than the Verizon brand, don't bother please..
It seems like there aren't a whole lot of third party accessories available until this thing drops, huh? I don't remember buying a phone and seeing this small of an amount of stuff available right off the bat.
you wouldnt need a screen protector, its gorilla glass scratch-proof and splash-resistant..
Scratch resistant, not scratch proof. I work in construction where "proof" doesn't exist!
I've seen on ebay

Try looking for scratched Gorilla Glass. It's all over the web. I had the Bionic for two weeks and scratched the corner. I was very careful with that phone because I knew there was a chance I was going to return it. I have no idea what caused it and don't want it on my new phone.
I have read about the special coating that might be on it to make it easier to clean, maybe that's what's scratched. Either way, it's a scratch.
Its sand or grit in your pocket that does for gorilla glass, not the coin and keys.
Why you don't like skinomi?
i found theìr screen protectors absolutely invisible and even fun to apply!
If you can't find any RAZR screen protector, buy one for iPad or for Galaxy Tab, or anyway something BIG, then cut it for your phone and apply
Anyway, it's true, I've scratched my SGS2's Gorilla Glass. It isn't scratch proof. I've scratched it without SAND or DIAMONDS, it has been scratched passing on my metal "buttons" of my jeans'pocket.
It's only marketing.

I ordered one from Skinomi on Nov 4, they gave me a tracking number on Nov 5, and the status has been "The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on November 05, 2011 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date." ever since. I was kinda hoping I'd have it before I got the phone... bah.
So I'm just being super careful until I get the skin. I have a Skinomi on my iPod Touch and it is just great. ZAGG on my DInc, but I prefer the feel of the Skinomi.
Had a skinomi on my epic 4g touch but took it off. It just seems like it takes away from the brightness of the phones display. I agree though that its a better feel than the invisishield.

So I decided to got without a screen protector or a case for the first time on any smartphone I've owned. It's been over a month and my Razr is flawless. I get a lot of oohs and aahs over it also. It really is too slick looking to want to cover it up.
Can I go 19 more months? Don't know. I guess we'll see if someone unlocks this damn thing. Maybe I won't have to worry about scratching it. If I can't throw some ROMs at it, I'll probably have to get rid of it..

Personally, I think screen protectors are overrated and not needed......unless, however you are very prone to bumping, dropping, rubbing your phone up against surfaces.
They dull your screen and diminish the quality as well...it's a downgrade as far as I'm concerned.
Go without the screen protector as you'll be much happier.......unless you fall under my description. LOL
I've never used a screen protector and for the first time got a case...the Cimo S-Line soft case.
I think I'll go for ZAGG
I don't reckomend the ZAGG invisible shield, it is wothless.
The screenprotector is very badley cut so it is mor than 5mm to short in both directions! + it does look pretty ugly around the speaker. It truley suck.
I'm just wondering if it fits the AT&T model.

I bought this one and it fits perfectly:
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/LG-Optimus-G-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields
Ok cool, thanks.
I got zagg hd at best buy store. It feels smoother and doesn't have the orange peel look if viewed at an angle.
I bought mine from the following website! It's impressive that I have to look at an angle to see if the shield is installed on the phone! Great product in my opinion! If you decide to buy it from them use discount code: iwantultra that drops your price to $12.49
http://www.clearprotector.com/phone-protectors/lg/optimus-g-at-t.html
I bought the maximum coverage set and it fits perfectly. I have a cheap protector on the screen and haven't installed the Zagg screen protector since they usually end up askew when I do it, lol. The back is a lot easier to install than the front IMO. The side strips don't really add a lot of "protection" per-say but they add more grip and make the phone less slippery which is my main concern. I'm most likely still going to get a case or bumper.

It is zagg hd ,got it in store at best buy. Doesn't specifically say att but fits perfect.
I have the full body Zagg directly from Zagg, not the Zagg HD. There is some orange peel. It is no where near as slick as the bare glass. Being used to having a Zagg on my Atrix, the slippery glass on the OG was almost too slick for me. But now I kind of miss it especially if my hands are real hot and a little damp as they stick rather than slide. It's your typical Zagg. My only issue is as usual I had a heckuva time getting the front lined up and managed to get some lint under the protector.
Got mine in the other day, definitely worth the extra few dollars over the eBay crap.

I had to take my regular Zagg off, and now I have the option to get the HD from best buy (they want $25) or get the replacement regular Zagg for only $4. Is it really worth the $$ to go with the HD version? Have you tried the regular Zagg before?

The Realook is pretty good, actually waiting for SGP to come out with our version of the crystal clear screen protector.
So, I've been stuck outside of the US for work basically ever since I got my OG. I didn't have the chance to put a screen protector on it before I left home, and wouldn't you know it, the ONE time I dropped the phone it was onto a floor with sand on it. Now I have a few minor scratches. I am OCD about this phone, though, and they are driving me crazy.
I'm guessing that the liquid that's used to apply the Zagg Invisishield HD will help to fill in the small scratches so that they are not visible after the screen protector is applied. Can anyone confirm this? Or know of any other way to reduce or remove small scatches?
The liquid for the Zaggs is literally just soap and water.

If the scratch is deep enough, it will show through pretty well. It's like getting a piece of dust under it.

It does dry eventually. The liquid is just to create a good seal. I can't really answer your question since I have never applied a Zagg to a screen with scratches already on it. My guess is that light scratches wouldn't be visible.

Luckily my few scratches are pretty light. I'm almost willing to try the N4 conversion now because of this. I wouldn't pay my insurance deductible just because of a few scratches, but if I happened to hard brick trying the conversion, at least it would be an excuse to get a new OG that I can take care of from the get go, haha.
I'm sure the pros and cons were mentioned somewhere on this forum but couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for as there are hundreds of pages of comments. I'm undecided between Spigen glas.tr slim & iLoome screenmate 9H for the note 3 and would like some input on which would be the best bet. They both seem equivalent as far as what they offer but would like to know from those who actually have used them. I've looked at Amazon reviews and still couldn't make my mind up. I plan on using one of these with the Otterbox Commuter.
My main concern is that it be truly bubble free so no bubbles form months down the line and no adhesion issues. From Amazon reviews I've seen people mention that after a few months bubbles had formed. If anyone has used these for a few months, do you have any bubbles and what are your thoughts?
I've got the iloome and there are no bubbles. I've never used the other one but can recommend this one. It wasn't too hard to install. You kind of have one shot at it. I found a video on YouTube where the guy places the glass on top first then puts blue tape on one side. So its like a door. Then he lifts the glass up, peels the plastic and drops it straight onto the screen. That's the method I used and it worked out perfectly. Once you do that just start pushing from the middle out to get rid of all the air.

I've had my SPIGEN for about 6 months now with zero issues. I never has bubbles and nor do I have any now. It can withstand some abuse too. I dropped my phone on a gravel driveway, straight on the glass. Didn't move a hair.
Btw, using it in combination with an Otterbox commuter.
spigen user here for me it's worth it
Been using iloome glass for 7 month now. No scratch, no crack, no bubbles. Still clear and vibrant as I first got it. Totally recommend their screen protectors.
Do they extend up to the edge of the screen? Because there are some cases that overlaps a TINY portion of the screen like caseology

Maybe off topic, but their neo hybrid case is a complete crap. Outrageously expensive and poor to medium quality. Not necessarily a bad brand, just too expensive for the quality they offer. IMO spigen products are NOT worth the money.

My iloome didn't. Also, I don't know about Spigen, but my experience with iloome support has been amazing. Not sure how much I can say, but I am seriously impressed by how supportive they were when I contacted them numerous times.
Just got my G3 from Best Buy on Sunday and this phone is pretty impressive. I always like to get a screen protector as soon as the phone comes out of the box. I bought the Zagg Invisible Shield Tempered Glass screen protector and it is pretty awesome. Don't have to worry about the orange peel that is on their regular screen protectors and the clarity is really good. Check it out.

I also scratched my screen on the very first day. I am not sure how I scratched it but its there. So in a case of closing the barn after the horse ran off I bought a tempered glass screen protector from Amazon ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KGSW734/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Price wise it was 9 dollars but I really liked and and best of all is that it has a life time replacement warranty.
Now about the actual glass its not too thick and though it does slightly protrude a bit you don't really notice unless your really looking for it. The shape is perfect and fits exactly as it should reaching the edges exactly.
Now for the scratch proof test, Since it did have a lifetime warranty I said screw it and took a knife to it. I really did try to scratch it and I wasn't successful. I thought those advertisement pics and videos were bull$hit but it really didn't scratch.
Anyway all in all I am happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a nice screen protector and doesn't like the feel of the thin film/ membrane type ones.
That's really cool. I picked up my glass protector yesterday. The brand is body guardz. Purchase price was $39.99+tax. No life time warranty, but if you register you can grab replacement at 20% discount.

Interesting product. I scoffed at the idea of paying $40 for a screen protector, I've lived through all my smartphones on cheap Ebay films. They get scratched up over time, but by the time I even think I should replace it, the phone is over a year old anyway. I've never applied more than 2 over the life of a phone, and the one on my EVO 4G LTE is the one I applied on launch day. Even so, for this price I'd go for the glass protector. That micro-ridge you'd get would be covered by a case anyway, too.

Possibly, I guess it all depends on how big the scratch and how deep it is. Doesn't hurt to try and protect it from more scratches.

I used to get Bodyguardz but they didn't have the anti-glare for the G3, then I found iCarez on Amazon. It has better quality than Bodyguardz and comes with three protectors. Best of all, the price was $4.95.
I am very particular with my phone. My phone is naked except for the screen. I used to use Zagg on my HTC EVO 4G and Galaxy Nexus, then switched to Bodyguardz for my Nexus 5, but when I realized they didn't make the anti-glare for the G3 I was lost. Amazon saved me. I am so happy I found iCarez. I have another set in the way for my wives new iPhone too.

Picked up a iCarez Tempered Glass protector and must say, for ~$8 you get one heck of a piece of kit. The Protector fits great, looks great, and feels fantastic with a smooth touch. While they are this cheap I highly recommend them.
*Edit* Ha completely missed the first page post, but yes same protector and for the price, this screen protector is the real deal.
Just got my ZAGG invisible shield glass edition from ups today feels great

Just got my G3 from Best Buy on Sunday and this phone is pretty impressive. I always like to get a screen protector as soon as the phone comes out of the box. I bought the Zagg Invisible Shield Tempered Glass screen protector and it is pretty awesome. Don't have to worry about the orange peel that is on their regular screen protectors and the clarity is really good. Check it out.

My ZAGG glass covers the whole screen with my otterbox silhouette case on the only part it doesn't cover is by the ear speaker and the front camera

If i kept my phones long enough i would pay for something like a zagg. Truth is i change phones a lot. Sometimes i dont even have everything come in that i order before i have traded or sold/bought another one. For this reason i usually get a 7-10$ ebay tempered glass protector. I love the glass ones. I cant see how paying an extra 25$ could make it that much better. The cheaper ones feel great imo. I dont think i can ever go back to a plastic screen protector now that i have used glass

This is very true I don't think I'll be going back to those crappy ones again

@docnas
Sounds great. Thanks for tip. Ordered mine tonight.
5 months into using the Icarez and I have to say I still love it. No problems with it whatsoever and it still hasn't been scratched. What else can a person want from a screen protector?
@ScottPa74- no problem for the recommendation. THe first thing I do when i get a new device hel sometimes even before I get i come to XDA to check out whether its worth it and what should I get for it.
Another we need to let them know.
Loved mine till a corner came up. Won't get another cause it came up to easy.
I've used MIME, Spigen, and Nilkin and of the three Nilkin has been the best with MIME being the worst. The MIME feather that I had barely lasted a week... The corner shattered very easily. The spigen one lasted much longer, but it eventually wore out. My Nilkin one however has lasted me since when I first got my M8 shortly after it came out. The quality is excellent and it comes with everything you need.
Their reply to me asking about the Nexus 6:
Hi <my name>,
Thank you for checking us out! Yes, we are working on a Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Nexus 6. We will announce it as soon as it is ready for shipment. Stay tuned!
Best,
MIME

The Bear Motion brand for my Note 3 has been the best deal ever. Was 17 bucks at launch. Now 10 bucks. Worth every penny.

totally agree. got all three brand and MIME was the worse. cracked very easily and they will charge you half the price to get it replaced which i think is bogus.

It saved my phone from an otherwise bad screen crack. I think its worth the money, its durable and definitely one of the best ones that I have owned. I don't like Spigen (I had 2 crack for no reason) and icarez is ok but nothing special. MIME has always been good and half off a replacement well 40% is still better then paying full price especially if it's the users fault.

I can only say good things about the Feather in combo with a Diztronic TPU case on my N5. The only chip I ever had was by the ear hole after a particularly nasty drop and that was the point of impact from a table corner.
Still use GLASS-M for nexus 5

I have never used tampered glass screen protector.
How is the touch responsiveness compare to the plastic one?
And also the clarity of the screen.
Because I read somewhere that tampered glass might reduce the touch responsiveness and screen clarity. Again, I have no real experience on this.

I used GLASS.TR for my N5 for a short period and thought it was much better than plastic. I didn't do any gaming so responsiveness is something I did not gauge. To me, glass was much clearer and feels better, doesn't scratch. My fingers run much smoother over the surface, as oppose to some plastic surfaces where it seems to have a sticky residue, like SHIELD.
Looking at pics of the Nexus 6 has me thinking that the screen falls off towards the edge like the LG G2. If this ends up being the case then glass won't be a option unless it is fitted glass which I don't know if they do. I am just going by the one instance I bought a glass protector for my daughters G2. Maybe it was just the brand.......

This phone is designed exactly like the new Moto X and its sloped edges. There's a long thread in the X section about multiple glass protectors and all fail to adhere correctly because of this. Unless they find a way to manufacture these with the curve in mind, these will suffer the same issue.
