Hello,

I bought an off brand glass screen protector for my ONE and received and applied today. It's better than I imagined it would be. And way cheaper than the spigen or seidio. Watch the unboxing here

And what it looks like after being applied.

Let us know how it goes after a weeks worth of experience with it! I'm interested in purchasing one myself!!!

Also, what is the thickness that you picked?

I'm about to order one. How did you go about applying it?

Very carefully. Lol. I lined up the bottom edge with where the metal and glass meet. Its easier than explained. I did mess up the first time, it was crooked. I used tape to pull up the screen protector then lined it up again. The instruction says to push down on the center. I didn't have to it automatically started to suck itself onto the phone screen. Definitely an interesting thing to watch. It stopped before it was completely adhered. So I did have to put pressure on the edge. The are tiny micro bubbles that are seen immediately after adhesion, but they dissipate after some time. however my corners seem to not be adhered correctly. I left it over night with an iPad on top to add weight hoping it would flatten out. No such luck. I'm wondering what else i can try...

I will. It's 0.4 mm thickness. I can tell you this the oleophobic coating is worth it. Plastic screen protectors are always greasy and you can't seen to wipe it off enough. These don't have that problem. I'll keep you updated though.

I have one of these, from the same supplier arriving this week. Do you use a case on your phone? Interested to know if this interferes with the fit of it if you do.

Interesting to hear your account of fitting this. I thinks i will securely tape a carefully aligned straight edge steel ruler to the phone and use that as a bump stop type tool to try and get it on first go.

You reffered to the SGP model of the glass screen protector, due to the packaging.
My question, how sharp are the edges of this screen protector with swiping the toolbar down for example, since SGP released a rounded version of the protector to get the sharp edges of.

I'm using this protector (same Chinese) knockoff I bought on amazon. With a super sweet case/bumper also purchased on amazon.. the glass is slightly narrower than the stock screen. I have no issues with the glass and the case.

Glass : http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DNWJIIC/ref=ya_aw_oh_pit


Tapped via TapaCrap from my Goggle Edition HTC One

They are beveled edges, nothing sharp. Feels good.

Got the same screen protector from the same supplier as the OP today.

Very easy to install. No bubbles :)

Nice rounded edges, and as it is lightly smaller than the screen, my case fits well.

Texture very slick. Once on and in the case you wouldn't actually know it has a screen protector on apart from the small rise next to each speaker which you would take as part of the phone if you weren't familiar with the HTC One..

I will never go back to plastic SPs. This is legit! Even though an edge didn't completely adhere this thing rocks.
