Mime Feather Tale
Mime's customer service really came through for me and sent a 2nd glass free of charge to replace the one that I cracked during the first install. Second time, install went flawless except sadly for a small spot that doesn't obscure the screen on the lower right hand corner near the home button. No amount of pushing, pressing, rubbing, using gentle binder clip pressure overnight with microfibre towel has shrunk the size. At least it isn't getting bigger so for now, I'm going to leave this be . Not exactly satisfactory experience because the glass is not on perfect so it's not a 'show-off' install. But installation woes definitely not a fault of Mime's. Not entirely content to "settle", but I'm feeling pretty finished with this for now. I think some of us are just a little more challenged with the installation nonwithstanding the countless helpful tips and indeed the material provided by Mime itself (sticky dust screen, micro fibre cloth). So I would give the glass an absolute A+ for quality, feel, customer service but counsel that the installation while easy for some, is challenging for others (I raise my hand). Also discount or not, my budget at this point is fairly exhausted for this lovely phone.
