Screen protector

Screen protector - Touch Cruise General

Hello All,
Can anyone suggest where can we get screen protectors for HTC touch cruise. I mean the protecter should cover not only the display but also the camera and notifications led's???

You should have 1 or 2 in the box. And you don't want it to cover the camera. The picture/video quality would be poor.

I had only one in the box and when i am trying to apply it, it didnt go of well. So, I want to remove it and apply a new one. Screen protector i am having which came in the HTC box, leaves holes for camera and notification led. Why we need to cover entire display is when we use the touch cube functioanility often ur fingers slips and it leaves finger spots there....

In the german forum they discuss about the same problem... nearly everybody is waiting for screen protectors from "BRANDO" They don't cover only the screen.

I second that! I have had BRANDO protectors on nearly all my PDAs and they NEVER got scratched on the screen or anything. The protectors are not cheap but worth it!

Brando replied to me they are going to ship the Cruise protectors within 2 weeks. So let's wait and see.

I'm in the same condition... I'm waiting Brando screen protector, it's the best!

I never owned a ppc before... For my TC is nothing too expensive Only the best.

a piece of plastic a small distant from the lense would work as
the evil opposite of another lense killing focus

if you didnt apply it ok then redo it, i took mine out like 3 times untill i installed it correctly, i washed it with soap to clear dust and stuff and re-applied, worked like a charm

I bought a protector from Veripart together with the Polaris. It has a cutout for the speaker on the top but not one for the camera, but it is so clear that it does not interfere with the camera (not visibly anyhow). I tried a photo before applying the protector and after under the same circumstances and I did not find any differences. Besides that it makes the lens easier to clean because it is now flush with the rest of the screen. I like it very much. I never use the supplied protectors with my phones. If you ever tried a Brando or a Veripart then you will know why ;-) . The protector covers the whole of the front of the phone, right until the edges of the device.

FYI, these do not cover the entire faceplate of the Polaris. They are just standard protectors (and not very good ones at that) sized to the touch screen.

I've been using the protector that came with the phone and I find that unless I keep it clean, the touch experience is not so great. Sometimes hard to get a smooth swipe. The glass on the screen however works well even when smudged. Is there a protector out there that works better? If not, I'm going bareback.

Dont do it man. No glove no love

Can any one has any idea where we can get screen protectors for TC. I want to cover the entire faceplate.. I am based in US. So, any US links will do a world of good.

I called Mobile planet and they told it will cover only 2.8" screen

The screen protector that came in my package with the TC covers the whole dark-grey area above the soft buttons, and has a cut for the phone and the camera. Wiping is super easy, and cleaning too. I don't know what you guys are talking about

For those of you who already have their Touch Cruise, I'd be interested to hear about how the screen protector sits on the screen. The pictures seem to show a flush face, which might make the screen protector look a bit odd and also come off much easier.
I have also seen some posts indicating the screen itself if a little different than the traditional touch screens to support the touchflo interface. Does that have any effect on the screen protector?
Thanks!

The screen protector is not the regular rectangular shape so it is not odd! It is cut to fit the contours of the whole front, minus the silver buttons area. Has cutouts for the camera and the earpiece area. You wont notice it is there if you allign it well. Make sure you sprinkle some water on the protector adhesive surface, and the device screen itself (careful here!) so that you can adjust the position, and then "scrape"out the excess water. Any trapped droplet will evaporate with time

1) Does the screen protector come with the package?
2) Now that your screen protector is flushed with the device surface, do you think it will come off from the edges if you were to slide it in and out of your pocket (or leather pouch)? Coz I have this Sony T-100 cam with a flushed screen surface and boy.. the protector came off very badly as I slide it in and out of the pouch.
Thanks!

Came in the package. Sticks well so no sign of peeling yet. I don't think it will peel off without special effort

What is the colour of of yours and where you bought it?

Well david, the screen protector fits almost perfect over the full surface screen area of the phone. You will not even be able to realize it,but for sure you'll find an only small problem, just around the lens of the camera.....take a view of it.

Even if you try your best to fit it better than i did, you will never get the circle of the stick with the circle of the cam. I don't think is a real problem.
Here you can see how the sticker fits at the lower side of my phone, just perfect.

problem with things that come with the packet is the good old
you get what you pay for this goes for cpu fans thats comes with the cpus
too

I got a perfect fit. Maybe because mine is not the O2 version. I gave a detailed process using water on both protector sticky surface and the device screen earlier

best friend for HTC Touch Diamond

InvisibleShield eh? I had bad experience from using it on my Cruise. Don't get me wrong, it is a very good protection for your device but if your device is made with the paint coating on the outside, it may take apart the coating when you take off the shield. On my Cruise, some of the gray silverish area around the screen was gone. Not sure about Diamond but I dont intend to find out myself.

Screen protector
I have one on pre order but until I decide whether I wanna take the chance I plan to use the full front screen protector by Martin Shields along with the official HTC case (well until any better third party solutions come along).
Martin Shields seems to get good reviews and I can confirm that it is amazingly clear.

Invisible Shield
Well.. I use it on my universal and ordered for the diamond yesterday... I have to say that I am in love with the Invisible shield range! Bearing in mind that this phone IS a fingerprint magnet, i dont really want to use a case if i dont have to! I stopped using a case for my Uni about 3 days after having the shield...
It will be interesting to see what kind of solution they provide for the back though!

Will the invisible shield make the device NOT a fingerprint magnet?
In that case, would it be nice if I used it for the rear only? Any sudden change is colour, etc?
Coz I'll actually plan to use clear G-mask (thats what we call it here in SG) for the rear. That surface isn't a fingerprint magnet.
As for screen protector, looks like MF is already available for the diamond!

/QUOTE]
Well.. I can only speak for my UNI, however.. They are extremely easy to keep clean, and I have NO colour difference. Havnt tried it on a black device though! I am going to apply it when i recieve it, and then post some photos for people to have a look!
I will definately use the full body version.. i have a ´couple of "nasty" marks on the one protecting my uni, mainly because it fell open screen onto some rocks at the beach, and went clatter clatter clatter.... You know one of those moments that you stand there shocked and tell yourself that you are going to have to find a new screen??
Picked it up, and there were a couple of light scratches on teh screen protector.. but thats it!
Because it distributes any impacts across its whole surface, it really does help protect the screen / phone VERY well.

Mobile companys should offer an optional model with this thing pre-installed

Damage to coating?
Does removing the invisibleshield damage any coating on the machine (most notably on the front screen) like they do on the cruise? If so, that's a big no no.......

They said "no".

oooh.. It arrived..
Have to say....
Its not bad.. but really not great!
Its a 5 piece jobbie.. 1 piece for the entire back, one piece for the front screen (including folds for the top, and sides!), one piece for the buttons at the bottom of the face, and 2 fiddly bits for the bottom next to the USB jack.
Problems so far are that the round action button is NOT cut out, so it "floats" above. It may stick after time though!
And its worse that the damn IPhone to apply!
After 4 attempts, and about an hour I gave up... I restuck it to the pieces of paper, and will try again tomorrow!

Can someone post pics for this please?
I really want to see how they managed to make one for the back of the Dia

Well - just to compare it with the experience I had with the iPod touch:
Never ever a InvisibleSHIELD again.
Not the quality, I managed to get i on top without any bubbles, but the haptic is bad. Also the over all appearance neither I nor my friends like.
The second iPod Touch I protected with the anti-glare foil from the Apple Store (don't remember the name). Frankly, that is much nicer (front), but not for the back site...
Hope anyone will produce s.th. combined: a self gluing anti-glare front protection foil, together with an InvisibleSHIELD like back.
Any suggestions where to find such?

i have the one that comes in the box on mine it has alread picked up qite a few scratches, The guy i bought it from gave me a free spare screen protector from the brand 'MOMAX' direct from japan, seems good, i will probably try that l8r. but Martin Fields screen protectors are by far the best ones IMO! (and u get a piece for the camera lense too!

Here they are

But he's a full protector or only screen protector?

It's a full body Invisible shield. First one the front, second the back.
It's difficult to distinguish, but there are holes in the protector for the camera, earpiece, volume and power buttons, etc

THANKS!!!
I wanted to see how it looked like so badly.
Please let us know how easy it was applying the shield to the back.
I'm rather curious how it would work out because of the angled area :S

Any possible chance of some photos of the InvisibleShield on the Touch Diamond? I'm very curious to see how it manages to stick to the angled areas of the back too.

I think the InvisibleSHIELD is great I have installed 4 of these things and each time has been relatively painless just have a steady hand and abit of perseverance.

Anyone NOT using their screen protector?

Hi all,
We all got the HTC screen protector in the box (which I quite like) but I know many people won't/don't use it. Logn shot but if anyone has a spare that they do not intend to ever use can they mail it to me (UK) and I'll drop a quid in the next charity box I pass???
PM for address....
Thanks - Rich

It is nice. I bought a Something Fields one, and it's nice too, but not accurately cut. Would like a new original one, but I presume they sell them somewhere? Saw an unboxing vid of the raphael and it was at least three protectors included AND leather case. Not fair!

i would like a place to buy a new one too.
My screenprotector is already scratched

You can buy "official accessories" from numerous places, although the prices are IMHO outrageous!
A quick google
eXpansys are selling them as "HTC Touch Diamond Screen Protector ST P170"

I do not use it because i actually dont like the plastic on the glass allready
I think they say they now use glass, but there is still this cheap plastik pver the glas
HTC should use a Toucpad like apple does

The screen it self is made of glass. The digitizer (what responds to touch) is plastic as it needs to flex.
The iPhone touch screen has its own quirks. You have to use fingers. Nothing else will work.

I use the original HTC screen protector on mine as the digitizer is very easily scratched, should see the little scratches all over the screen protector though and I am very, very careful with my phones, if I didn't have that they would be all over the main display, so if you have any PPC is would seriously recommend that it's used. The HTC screen protector is great though, don't notice it's there, my finger and stylus glide extremely smoothly over the surface, like gliding on ice .
What would be nice if someone combined resistive and capacitive technology to create something that works with the finger, stylus and nails but only has a hard glass surface like capacitive does and not have that annoying plastic digitizer which is easily scratched. Maybe one day though

Used mine for about 2 days and got fed up with bits of fluff sticking around the edges making it look messy. I just keep the phone in a pocket on it's own and no problems so far. Haven't used screen protectors on my other PDAs / Smartphones in the past and never had a problem.
Depends on the individual I think.

It might be, but I'm not perfectly happy with it. The original one is perfectly cut, but the MF one is a tiny bit "smaller", and bad around the speaker. The nice thing with the MF is that they also protect the camera lens and the hard buttons.

I us this invisibleSHIELD™ and its nice!

No this has been talked about in a few other threads... imo and many others invisibleSHIELD is awful.
Martin fields are the best IMO as they are the clearest ones i have tried and they and are pretty scratch resistant but do indeed have a bit of a rough cut a good compromise are MOMAX protectors... also v good and clean cut.

Got my invisibleshield just and i just LOVE it! havent seen this good protector before.

does anyone know where i could purchase the original screen protector that came with the phone, mine actually covers both the screen and the buttons...

Any idea where I can get the original T-Mobile MDA IV Compact screen protector from? In fact, any 3rd party make for the MDA Compact IV would be useful to know about. Thanks

Same here. Screen protectors make your phone look ugly and cheap. I just put the phone in my pocket without any other objects as well.

I was just showing off the phone to one of the girlies on reception at work. It didnt respond as quickly as I'd hoped when showing her some pics. So, being the impatient so-and-so I am I chucked it into the flower bed we were stood next to. Wish I hadnt done it now as the bloody screen has a scratch on it...
My advice, if you are going to throw your Diamond into the flower bed, then make sure you put the screen protector on first!!! LOL

Haha, LOL! I recently read a report which stated that men are acting less intelligent the moment a woman enters the room. I guess you are a good example of this
Too bad of the screen though. However, when the screen is on you probably won't see the scratch that much, do you?

Just to let you guys know that I got a clear silicone cover and screen protector from some guy on eBay for AU$3.99 + $6.00 postage.

Although not very glamourous, the cover is great - grippy and stops me dropping it, scratching it etc. The button lights show through the clear silicone. The included screen protector is cut exactly right for the Diamond and not noticable. Totally recommend both.
