MIME offers Tempered Glass

[Eclipse2K]

So since I needed protection while I wait for MIME I got a Flexible "Glass" from Verizon. I can't stress this enough - never buy this! Its an expensive "plastic" protector that feels NOTHING like glass. It has the same friction that the cheap plastic ones have and fingerprints are the same as plastic. I asked my friend how she likes my Glass protector and she said "You're joking, this is plastic you liar".

I can't help but feel this is nothing but advertising speak. Yes, it'll spider web if you bend it but in no way does it feel remotely close to glass. If you take a true Glass protector its hard to feel a difference. If you use the Flexible Glass from Verizon you can feel both the glass and protector and notice a night and day difference.

Can't wait to get my MIME. I want to rip this one off now but I don't want scratches before I get it.

That's what I have been trying ton tell as many people as possible. I had to get the Verizon screen protector because it was the only one out in day1 but now that there is options for real glass I too chose the mime.

Its terrible. At first I thought maybe it was still sticky from the film. I cleaned it with an alcohol pad and it didn't do anything to help it. I've seen a few people here say it feels like glass and I just can't understand how they can say that. Its not even close.

The only reason I use it is because my MIME is in transit and I'm keeping this replacement phone in pristine condition. My other Turbo had micro scratches from being in its own pocket so I'm avoiding it this time.

The Veirzon solution is the worse of all we've discussed. Even those that didn't care for the Xtreme Guard preferred them over VZW -- and at half the price. I was most displeased with my VZW POS "Tempered Glass".

Thats because even with the issues Extreme still felt like glass. The Verizon one doesn't.

Absolutely. The VZW is not even rigid.

I see on the Verizon website they offer a "tempered" glass now for the turbo. I wonder if this one has a better feel then the "flexible" one.

Usually it does from past experience.

Hey everyone! I just received The mime screen protector and all I can say is wow! The packaging is so unique and amazing. Honestly I could have never thought packaging for a glass screen protector could be so awesome. The installation process was a breeze. Mime doesn't rip you off because they really invest the 30 bucks to every little detail. I am having no sign of halo anywhere on the protector.

I absolutely love MIME's packaging. So professional and unique looking. The inside is very rigid so your protector won't break inside.

Very nice indeed. As long as my cheap-o Xtreme Guard continues to serve me well, at the give away price of $6, I can't be tempted away from them. However, the this kind of quality in packaging alone is impressive, and I'm looking forward to hearing more positive experiences with MIME on Turbo, in case I ever have to pay real moola for screen protection.

I installed it with minimal halo effect but I took it off the same day. No idea why but since it covers the sensors I found it to mess the device capabilities up too much. I could no longer twist my wrist for camera, waving/pick up to activate display was very intermittent (even after reboot), etc. I removed it and every issue went away.

Maybe its placement but its not worth losing functionality. I know Verizon has Glass now but I'm done worrying about it. These 2D displays suck. Great feeling protector but I can't figure out why my sensors were acting up.

Anyone else run into this? I know it was an issue with the thicker iVoler version but haven't heard of it on MIME.

I didn't have any of those issues with mine. But I did have to remove it. I dropped my phone and it hit the base of my desk and put a chip in the protector. Thankfully it worked as it should have and protected the screen. I was going to order another but I had a replacement iVoler that I figured I would try out first. That went on great with almost no halo. (much better than the last one I had) So I think for now Ill stick with what is working and maybe just order a replacement Mime if I need it.

I wouldn't call my experience typical. MIME is normally great and maybe the positioning was off slightly but I can't see how since it was centered. Either way, I contacted MIME regarding it to see why this would happen and they refunded me my money no questions asked. They have never heard of this before which makes sense but I got unlucky.

I have the Verizon Tempered Glass (not Flexible) on the way now. We shall see how this fits because I do know it feels great.

Let us know how the Verizon one works out.

Will do. I anticipate that it'll fit similar to the Flexible Glass which leaves a little room but that's fine by me. I would rather be guaranteed no lifting and all sensors cut out.

I realize this is what it takes since the Note 4 requires the same figment.

The Verizon glass ones are just thick plastic. I had the flexible one which I had to remove to send in my defective turbo. At the time I got the turbo there was just that one so I got it. 20 damn bucks for just bs.

That's great news your xtreme guard is doing its justice and serving as a great screen protector. Yes the mime is expensive but worth it because you can clearly see they also invested those 25 bucks in the packaging and the quality do the glass and glue to last a long time
