I was leaning toward the SGP, but after doing some Google research I came across this company. People said they were happy with the product, but more importantly, their customer service is outstanding.
Last night I bit the bullet and ordered mine. I'll update this thread when it comes in next week, but the reason I wanted to post something now was because I've already experienced some of that great customer service.
So after I placed my order last night around 11:30pm eastern (same time zone they're in), I noticed a typo in my shipping address. I used their "contact us" form on the website to mail the correction, would you believe it, they sent me back a response 10 minutes later. They're a small company, and their desire to stand out shows.
Anyway, here's the link to the protector: http://mimeusa.com/product/galaxy-s4-ghost-glass-tempered-glass-screen-protector/
Also, they sell what appear to be the same aluminum, black, and white home buttons that you can get at SGP. The difference being MIME sells them for $2.50 (or $1 if you buy a protector) with free shipping. http://mimeusa.com/product/aluminum-home-button-for-galaxy-s4/
Lastly, here's a review I found: http://www.runaroundtech.com/2013/01/12/mime-hdt-c-glass-screen-protector-for-iphone-5-review/
I already received a tracking number this morning (they use USPS, so I guess they can ship on Saturdays). I'll post an update when the protector arrives!
------------------------------------------
UPDATE:
The protector has arrived and it seems pretty good. They even included a little note in the box, which was a nice personalized touch.
It doesn't add as much weight as I expected, and the cutouts are ample enough to not block any sensors. Now in my case, I did apply it just a little bit too high and it makes the bottom 1/10th of the front camera a little blurry, but it's not really noticeable. That's my fault. Don't make the same mistake I did.
You can see in the close-ups that it's just a tiny bit narrower than the screen itself, so you should be able to use a case without any issues.
It's 0.32mm thick and has rounded edges, so it's thinner than the SGP GLAS.tR, $7 cheaper, and is backed by much better customer service.
I'm pleased with it, and it's staying on my phone permanently. Recommended! :good:

I'll wait for your thoughts on it! I want to decide between MIME and Spigen Glas.tr
MIME is the better quality imo.

I have many app ideas, but don't have the skill or the time to learn how to make an app. if you would like to know an idea and attempt to make one, just message me.
It's arrived! Mini review added to OP.
is that sticky note, hand-written or is it printed ?
Its hand written, nice addition on creating a personal touch.
was going to get the spigen, but ill give the MIME a shot :good:
**edit
just ordered + aluminum button
How's the sensitivity? I had a glass protector on my S3 from a different company but the sensitivity issues were so bad I had to take it off.

Well as the S4 has a highly sensitive touchscreen and it works with gloves on there no issues with touchsensitivety....

Not satisfied with SPIGEN SGP GLAS.tR...
So I had some issues with the spigen glass protector. Luckily, Amazon is going to process my return and I can get a refund for that $35 I spent. I'm going to order me one of these bad boys from MIME ASAP. Thanks for the review
Great topic.
is there a big difference using these expensive screens instead cheap ones from china ?

True, not sure if glass has any effect on it though.
Does this have the silicone adhesive around just the edge or the entire screen? That was the issue with many s3 glass screens.
They only had adhesive around the edge because of the semi curved displayed, pockets of air would get under the glass and reduce sensitivity.
What is in the second picture?
Does it come with 2?
It has adhesive all around. The box includes a full screen size sticker for you to put on and take off to remove any dust immediately before applying the protector. (I had a friend use a can of compressed air on the phone while I put the protector on.)
If your glass protector ever needs replacing, the box also includes a plastic screen protector, so you don't have to go without any protection while you wait to receive the replacement.

Hi, this is a review of the amCase Hybrid Bumper Case And amFilm Screen Protector Premium HD Clear.
I received them this week, i like the back transparency, because it lets the original S5 design show, the case has a nice fit and lets very good space to access all ports, also it feels good to the touch and has a nice grip, since the back is solid, also this make it feel like a more expensive product.

The screen protector is also very good quality, i didn't used on my phone because i already had one installed, but a friend installed it on his phone and liked it a lot, since it resist scratches and is clearer a lot more than the previous screen protectors he has used.

I didnt like the case because of its back. It kept giving me goosebumps....its a weird material
I'm thinking about trying this case and wondered how it fits. Also, how is the installation?
Any more info on the Screen Protector?
Recently bought another brand off Ebay and was wondering if the amFilm brand you mention is any better? The ones I got were really hard to align and just did not seem to go down right. This caused the edges of the protector not be sealed down tightly and I constantly get air bubbles in the sides and near the home button. I even payed extra for fast shipping so it was kind of expensive. The ones your talking about are cheaper and get good reviews so I am considering trying them. Did your friend happen to mention how the protectors fit? Or if he has had any problems with air bubbles?

Yes! Thanks for the help. I'll be purchasing this case whenever I get some time. One last thing, do you think this will fit most phones?
Purchased this case the other day and it's great! One of the best cases I've had.
Hey there, I have finally decided to take off the case from my S6 gold platinum model, got a nice tempered glass screen guard for back side of the device, now it looks damn good, I know it's slippery but I think I can handle it, I guess it's not a wise move but phone looks awesome, what do you guys think, pls share your ideas and opinions.
Does it look different with the tempered glass? I use mine without protector and case and it got scratches on the back. Front got nothing though. Middle frame uhm... some little dents.
You are smart to have gotten a tempered glass for the back
Anyways, be careful!

Yeah thanks, I will be careful, no it doesn't look different, tempered glass seems to be nice so I couldn't find any difference, better you get a tempered glass and protect the phone
It's such a hard choice to make, even I want to take off the case, it feels so good!
I left my case on for now especially since it's my first all glass phone I don't really want to damage it
I dont like extra thickness and weight it adds when you put tempered glass protectors on front and back..
I've dropped the phone a bunch of times without a bcase, granted not onto asphalt. While aluminum is very pretty it dents quite easily, but the screen has held up well.
Can you share the link for the glass back you ordered?
I just wiped the screen on my s6. Feels good. Do u think I can use water or do I need a special liquid from Samsung.?

Don't use water to clean the display, instead you can use soft cloth to wipe the screen.

I have ordered a dbrand skin for my S6. Was tired of using a case on this beautiful device.
I was being sarcastic man. Do u really need a post to let people know u removed the case of your phone?
I'm using a ~4.50 $ clear case that I bought on eBay. It's all silicone, super thin and looks really good because I still see all my phone. I get to enjoy the S6's design and yet have an excellent grip. No more worries of it slipping or worries when putting it down on a desk.
Yes, Ofcourse its good decision to take off the case. And today smartphone cases is one type of trendsetter of the tech industry. It is also important to protect your precious devices by using glass screen protector and cases.
Decided to put my case back again! After some weeks naked and one big drop, I've got a big dent on the speakers and 2 corners. The aluminum is the worst part of the phone since it's polished. If it had some kind of pattern to hide the dents, that'd be cool, but it's all plain polished! A bumper case would be ideal..

I'd personally go for a slickwraps or dbrand skin for the back of you don't like cases. It'll protect it, and you can get something like a leather to still keep the premium look.
thank you for thread , i hope we found soon good protectors
I hope someone will test out some of the crap on eBay, because I sure as hell am not going to pay 50+ dollars for a screen protector.

Hi Y´all!
I ordered this one yesterday:
https://shop.brando.com/brando-workshop-full-screen-coverage-curved-glass-protector-samsung-galaxy-note7-transparent_p14575c1547d8.html
I´ve had good experience with Brando for the screen protector for my old trusty SGN3.
But the shape of the screen on the SGN7 has got to be a challenge.
On a flat screen a 10TH of a mm / 5 100TH of an inch doesn´t matter.
Here the shape has to be just right for the sticky coating to make a bubble & distortion free experience.
I saw a screen protector review on Youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQXq0ewUJtU
This product tried to handle small differences in curvature etc. by only applying sticky coating on the edges.
I would have to agree with reviewer. That doesn´t work.
With 20/20 hindsight I might have thought to ask Brando about this before making the order - Oh well :fingers-crossed:
Regards
Elo
Can't wait to see the results!!

I ordered the same one. Hopefully it will work well.
On the other hand, I currently have a Skinomi one on mine (wet application). I'm using masking tape to hold down the edges as it dries and adheres. So far it's almost invisible because I took my time. No rubbery feel either. If my case works well with it I might not even install the glass one.
Leaving the plastic sticker on the back glass for now, though.

Either way if I see the screen protector has that tape only on the sides I'll probably just return it.
Hey all! I am almost ready to buy the Mate 9 and I was would like to know if anyone has it in black color along with the UAG case.
Design-wise, the case itself seems to be a little over the top for my taste but since it's semi-transparent I was wondering if the black color of the phone tones it down a bit.
Any feedback is welcome (maybe along with some photos if anyone actually has the combination? )!

I have read mixed reviews about the Spigen case, some say it's great, others that it's flimsy. What's really weird though is the fact that there is no case for the Mate 9 on the official Spigen site! I think I will go with the UAG case, it's a big and quite expensive phone to risk dropping it...

It is strange. I never saw it on their site either. I got mine on Amazon.... Unless it's a fake lol. Heres a pic of the Spigen. I actually like it a lot. I don't find it that flimsy though but I guess everyone has different preference. The Spigen definitely gives it the Blackout look
I use the UAG it is realy nice.

On the UAG, it's much higher which makes it much more protected than the Spigen. The Spigen also has a lip but not as high. Still good though. I do notice the Spigen has a lot more room for the screen protector edges than the UAG one which gets a lot closer.

It is strange. I never saw it on their site either. I got mine on Amazon.... Unless it's a fake lol. Heres a pic of the Spigen. I actually like it a lot. I don't find it that flimsy though but I guess everyone has different preference. The Spigen definitely gives it the Blackout look

It does look stealthy and I really like that they went with 3 cutouts on the back rather than 1 big one.

You mentioned the screen protector and I was going to ask you about your personal preference. From what I read in other threads, there are 3 main products that people use and are generally satisfied:
1) Brotect Airglass
2) Supershieldz Tempered Glass
3) Nillkin Tempered Glass
Any other suggestion?

Actually, I wish I knew too. I still have the original screen protector on when I got my Mate 9. I've wanted to move to Tempered Glass but never knew which one to get. If u do find one, keep me posted too
I recommend that one.I am really satisfied with that one.

Well, since I am probably going with the UAG which has more protection, I will first check the Brotect Airglass which is thinner (and hopefully less likely to peel along the UAG case?). If I decide to go with Spigen or Ringke (I like the Ink Black), I will problably check the Tempered Glass options.

The pzoz screen protectors are pretty good as well. Cheap to at about 3 bucks a piece.
