MIME HDT-c Glass Screen Protector

UPDATE: MIME RENAMED IT TO THE GHOST GLASS

I just installed my MIME HDT-c glass screen protector. It was my first glass install, so it wasn't perfect, but it was pretty close. I actually lifted the whole thing up a couple times before getting it perfectly aligned. I also used the tape trick to get dust out by lifting each corner, but I only used this to get dust out from the edges, because I didn't want to risk anything by lifting it more than a couple mm.

As for my opinion on the glass screen protector, I'm loving the change from plastic ones! The recessed home button actually feels BETTER than that small but sharp feel with plastic ones. Glass also feels better than plastic, of course. So smooth! I basically agree with all the positives of that every review says. The added weight is negligible if you ask me, and the thickness isn't a huge problem given the curved edges.

The MIME HDT-c glass screen protector is a great value, especially that warranty. Check it out!

New video review. He uses the same case as I do, the Belkin Grip Candy Sheer. He also said she had a bubble at the bottom corner, but that's because of the case. The Belkin case's lip actually comes up over the screen, which pushes the glass screen protector.

Whats the difference between this and the glastr?

The price.

----------

But in all seriousness, I think all the rounded-edge glass screen protectors you see are, more or less, the same thing. It's the price and the extras and warranty that they include that's the biggest difference.

And you sure do get all 3 with MIME.

Updated. I also recently put one on my sister's phone with a perfect install (so jealous), and it's amazing!

I like the name Ghost Glass better than HDT-C.
I felt like it was so close to HTC.. lol but yeah, i wonder if they're gonna release a "SLIM" version? The reviewer you just posted said it was a bit thinner than the GLAS.tR. I wonder if that's true or is it the glass quality just different.

I may pick one up soon. Gonna wait on my .t SLIM to fall apart in the future.

Mark Linsangan has a pretty good rep. I would trust his word. If it's true and this is slightly slimmer then the Glas.tR, then maybe the Glas.tR SLIM is the same thickness as the Ghost Glass? Spigen advertises the Glas.tR SLIM to be just 28% slimmer than the regular Glas.tR.

Looks good. I bought a Good Gadget red Glass Guard screen protector instead. Love it!
Makes my iPhone pop! Got so many compliments when I'm at work and also when riding the subway.

Sounds risky.

But I'm glad you like it! The red really pops! I didn't realize how much better it felt than a plastic one until I got it.

Do these work with the Tech21 Mesh case?

It should work. Does the lip of that case lay on top of the glass any?

Bought one last weekend, installed it on Tuesday (very simple). Bought another one Wednesday for the fiance since she liked mine so much.

Also got the Halo bumper for it. Not a bad setup with both the Ghost Glass and bumper. Although my bumper lock button went missing, but emailed them and they are sending me a whole new bumper.

Great company, and the Ghost Glass is a must have, especially with the price and replacement cost.

I was also considering the Halo bumper! And I agree. Great company and customer service!

Installed the MIME Ghost Glass yesterday on my iPhone, I was worried at first because I had a few bubbles when I installed it but when I woke up today I tried again and was able to press them all out.

Super happy with how it turned out!

That looks like the Ghost Glass SE (non-curved edges), but that looks amazing! Great photography and good job on applying the screen protector. Makes me want their bumper, too.
