Is this a "real" glass mirror, or one of those synthetic reflecting types? And how does it attach to the wall of the shower?

I believe it is made of plastic, it attaches using provided double sided tapes and silicon glue.

No, it is not real glass, but a high quality reflective coating on a plastic case. The plastic case allows the water to quickly warm the glass to prevent fogging. It attaches to the wall with a silicone adhesive. Works well, takes about 12 hours to "cure" after you attach to tiles. The only fogless mirror that I've really seen. I've had mine for about three months and it works well.

This is definitely not real glass and is made out of some sort of plastic. It came with some epoxy that you "glue" the base directly to the tile and then the rest slides onto to that. It holds very well and I have not had any issues what-so-ever. The instructions said that it is easy to remove the epoxy. I haven't tried but I'm sure some nail polish remover would work or maybe even just alcohol.

It seems like glass, and whether or not it is, it works perfectly and attaches to the wall very simply. I do highly recommend this shower mirror.

I don't believe that it is a 'real' glass mirror. But I've used the reflecting types that you are referring to, and they are terrible. This mirror is awesome. Works exactly as advertised. It comes with silicone that you use to attach to your shower wall. Mine happens to be fiberglass, and after I installed it and let it cure for 24 hours I've had now problems whatsoever with it. I've had mine over a month now, and I would gladly give it a A+++ rating.

I have not yet installed this mirror because my house is still being built. But I can tell you that the builder left a hole reserved for installation inside the wall. I hope excuse me if my answer didn't help you.

The housing is plastic but the mirror appears to be real and does give a true and clear view. Like some others have stated I would only recommend this for inside use. I put it up in our garage so I can park close to the wall without hitting items. It works very well and was easy to install to the wall with the included bracket. I am happy with the mirror.

It is neither. Mine is mounted on mirror...it is 3.5 inches wide and extends out from the mirror approximately 3.25 inches. It has proven to be reliable and if ours were to fail in some way we would purchase this product again. S

It is not permanently attached to the wall. It stays on the wall because of what I would call compression and friction. One side of the rod has a mount that is adjustable and you simply turn it to make it fit the size of your shower/bath.

We used the hardware that came with the mirror and hung into drywall. The two flathead screws provided clip easily into the mounts on the back of the mirror. We asked a local hardware some about a more "Decorative" style to hang (i.e. ribbon) and you can do that easily by super gluing the ribbon or other material to the back to give you the look you want. But first I would suggest using the hanging hardware provided.

the main frame is finished,, all you have to do is attach OUTSIDE mirrors on the 2 ends if you do not cut out the wall, i.e.just surface mount it. I love this thing. It is probably the finest "metal thing" I have. Inside is mirrored also. You ahng the main frame, put the end mirrors o and you ore finished.

I don't know that the original was a real mirror.... The replacement that they sent me was very much like what the original looked like. Regardless - it looks the same - it may be a heavy plastic - I can't be sure without trying to break it - but it looks and performs like a mirror. Hope that helps - we're happy with the price and ease of installation.

The mirror shows a true reflection, it is not made cheaply, it has a standard thickness mirror like you find in most bathrooms.

It is not meant to be a mirror. the reflection most people are talking about is the reflection like you would get from using your cell phone as a mirror, or a piece of glass. If you want to use it as a mirror, apply that reflective window tint that has the one way mirror effect.

Hi, the mirror is real and it is actually a very good mirror and extremely convenient. I have the galaxy s3 and it fits perfectly.

Hi, it's metal . I had a plastic one once it didn't last long before it broke off from tightening it. This one is metal and has that long bar at the bottom so it stabilizes the mirror and doesn't lean over or fall forward. I really like it . The best one I 've had.

I think it is plastic. It was really warped and didn't seem to have the heft of a glass mirror. I sent it back.

It's a real mirror made of glass... But that is all you get the mirror, no mounting brackets to mount to the motor mechanism brackets inside the mirror housing. I just glued the mirror in place with a marine adhesive I had on hand. A few dots on the interior mirror housing bracket. It sets back a little more, but it works and has not fallen off yet.

It is a real mirror with small led screen in right side. If your existing mirror is bulky it may have a hard time staying on.

The suction cup is great. I have two. One that stays permanently in my home shower and one that travels with me to the gym, so it' has constant use. Neither has failed me. As for mirror, after the first time I wet it down, it stays pretty clear. I do find myself wetting it down a couple times during my shave. However the mirror hangs on the suction cup, it's not attached. So it's a second to take it from the wall and hit it with some water. I don't even notice it. I really like it.
