Hi,
As the Diamond is smooth and stylish, I don't really want to hide it in any horrible case or hard-protection (*)...
However, I want to put it on my pocket and protect it from scratches with my keys and a lot of others stuffs
So,
what's the offer ?
what's your choice ?
what's your advice ?
Currently avalaible :
Zagg Invisible Shield (full body coverage)
Clear-Coat Scratch Protection (full body)
BodyGuardZ Scratch-Proof Transparent Protection (full body)
Other ?
Home made ? (let us know how you do it yourself...)
(let me know if I forgot one...)
(*) Perhaps except if Vaja listen to us, I hope they'll have some nice projects for the Diamond, as their ivolution for the i*****
just use the screen protector from the box.
invisbile shield is ****
just use the box protector screen, too
Neither of these are really "invisible". For the back & sides they will do maybe, for the front use good screen protector.
I bought the invisibleShield Full Body, but not received!

Took 3 weeks for mee too, eventually I did receive it. I emailed them to ask why it took so long and just to be sure, they sent me a 2nd one for free.
I had it on for 1,5 days, took it off completely and replaced it with the boxed screenprotector. Way better, read my previous posts on this on the inivisibleSHIELD topc.
Anyone know where the original HTC screen protector can be purchased? Friend of mine didnt get one in the box and mine was applied a bit badly Can they be removed and washed?
The Ideal soloution:
Ideally you should use a combination, you should get the invisible shield for is back protection and apply it on the faceted back to protect that from scratches. BUT don't use the invisible-shield on the front/screen, as it bonds too strongly with the screen and also its optical properties are not that great, as a result the screen images are not displayed to their best due to distortion form the shield, so for the front i recommend using the Martin Fields screen and button protector. Martin fields protectors are the very best for screen protection while maintaining screen clarity (a well documented point)

i have already written about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401745
but in short, the MF protector is a fraction clearer and possibly a bit better in sunlight too, it also covers the front facing camera (a good thing in my book) only bad side is that initially it does feel fractionally more grippy when sliding your finger across the screen (only slightly more, unlike the invisibleSHIELD which is like rubber lol) but this goes away after some usage. You also get a protector for the buttons below the screen. - and i have noticed that it does not pick up scratches easily, unlike the in-box protector which does.
Ive tried different screenprotectors now but none of them are realy good. even though they say they are scratchfree,they arent,especially the htc boxed one,only after two days it was so scratched up from the stylus that i had to replace it with an aftermarket one. that one lastet like two weeks, again totally scratched from the stylus. i then thought it was the stylus ,so i used the other one in the box after i put on another new screenprotector on! this time from brando,i got it along with the crystalcase i bought. also this one isnt scrathfree as they say on the package and now after a week of use i have scratches again,most of them light some others deep. so whats the problem, the stylus or the screenprotectors?
Your stylus seem to be the source of problem. You defenitely must have no scratches after just a week of use. Maybe there is something wrong with your stylus tip, like some hard incluse.
Screen protectors are not absolutely scratchproof, generally I replace mine like once in half a year. But still cheaper to replace a screen protector then screen
i didnt received it either. i ordered my invisible shield on 19/06/08 and still didnt receive one. they resended second one on 11/07.
BodyGuardZ is avalaible for Diamond
I've updated the #1 post with the link for the BodyGuardZ Scratch-Proof Transparent Protective skin (full body).
Package contents :
* 2 Complete HTC Touch Diamond BodyGuardz Protectors (covers everything including screen)
* BodyGuardz Application Solution
* Squeegee Card

funny i ordered mine last thursday and got it today 6 days later?
i live in the uk dont know if that would make a difference!?
i also opted for not applyingthe screen cover from invisible shield , i'm just using the htc standard one so far its ok with one scratch after two weeks.
must say that the invisible shield is superb! i couldnt even mark it with a sharp sheath knife. no i didnt test it like that while on my diamond! just some of the spare the protector is punched from!
One other thing that is really nice.....IT HIDES FINGER PRINTS!!!!!!!
The HTC one was good, but a real pain to wash (tried to clean after bad applying, and had to throw it away )
Just got some Brando Ultra Clear, and I'm pleased : really easy to apply, front and back protection.
Didn't notice any scratch til now. On ly - slight - problem, is that they get qui dirty quickly (fingerprints)
EXiM SPUC always!

I totally agree with you. I've the invisible shield after two weeks just the same day that my diamond arived. it took me a full hour to apply it. getting really annoying but there is enough liquid spray to do it two times. There's a piece of rubber included to get all of the air out that works great. it took 2 weeks for the back of the phone to lose the rubber feeling and (after 4 weeks) there is still it on the front. overall the shield is great. With this thing your phone is really scratchless. The micro air bubbels disappear in a week on the back. If you aply it good there are no bubbels on the front
What do I use to remove the scratch? thx.

I see a kit for ipod for that exact thing a few years ago - maybe its worth asking.
i dropped my diamond and the screen has a very nasty looking scratch along the botto of the screen.
please advise what i can do to fix or do i have to replace it for a new touch screen.
if i need a new screen where in th uk is the best place to have it re fitted
thanks
I think it's called Displex scratch remover or similar - try it out it will fill the hairline scratch and make it invisible.

Are you sure this will work? Displex melts a bit of the acrylic plastic on most screens so that it fills up the scratches. Last I heard, the Diamond's screen is glass.

If its the screen I'd be carefull applying anything as you risk the display becomes blurred (same reasons thet don't remove scratches on glasses). If it's made of glass maybe consult a car repair shop reparing wind screens. Let's hear what you find out.

The outer layer is not glass. It's the layer underneath the digitizer that is glass. Have you noticed that you can indent the screen when you touch it, say, with the stylus? That should prove it for you.
As far as the displex goes I personally haven't tried it as I use a screen protector (which on a side note I have ruined today as my stylus has developed a sharpness that has scratched the crap out of it). So the idea is to replace it when it's gone bad with a new one. If you've scratched the actual outer surface then you could look at replacing it (I'm not sure how you'll go about doing that) or you could try the displex.
Attention: use only on non-coated surfaces and plastics; when used on mobile phones, treat only the transparent portions of the display lens. Not for use with touch screen displays.

Uh-oh... Haha I think I recommended Displex to someone before... I've seen people use it on GPS displays and it worked fine, even with touch screen... But if they say no, don't risk it.
looks like it will have to be a new screen,
is the outher screen a seprrate part to the glass section of the screen ??
does anyone know where i can have it replaced in the uk?
If your going to replace it then I'd have a go at polishing it first and see what happens. What you got to loose.
I once used a bit of Brasso on the screen of my car headunit, got the scratches out a treat.

If you're going to have a new screen anyway I'd first experiment with some of the various proucts discussed. If it works you save the repair, if not then no harm done as you'l get a new dispaly (at the cost of a new TD likely).

managed to get hold of a new screen for a reasonable price too

Search for the tech. manual on the net. It explains step by step how to do it. Good luck with it. I cannot recall where I found it, but even somewhere in xda is a link I think.

it was in my housing replacement thread before...
very difficult job from what i can tell for replacement
almost as annoying as iphone DIY since it has the most annoying housing ever
this may sound stupid but it is stuff that works
take a piece of microfiber cloth
a banana
toothpaste
and any glass cleaner
1st take a small piece of banana and rub it on the screen for about 3 minutes and take your microfiber cloth and whipe it off... (do not use water) and do not use paper towel or toilet paper!!!!(it will ruin the screen
now flip your microfiber to the clean side and set it down...
take your tooth paste (white colgate is the best) and rub it over the screen for 5 minutes again take the clean side of microfiber and rub off the toothpaste... it will smell minty for a couple of days but eventully it will go away!!!
please try this it works take the time it will work and again do not use any water!!! that means dont put water on cloth and wipe off
hope it helps

Right... I can understand using tooth paste, but a fricking bannana? How funny is that? I honestly would like to see a guy polishing his £350 phone with that.
You've made my day
Ps. I'd suggest using a carrot and then a potato afterwards
COuld be the small amount of acids in it.
A lemon may be too strong. Banana has a fine 'polishing' structure too.
it works man.... banana is my friend......
delicious too

Hehe, My apologies then, I'm gonna give it a go as soon as I spot the first scratch
I have a quite a few scratches on the touch screen and also one on the home button, which is deeper. Most of the scratches on the touch screen are not very deep but theres alot of them. I was thinking of trying toothpaste but have been told that it could damage screen. Any suggestions?
Hi,
there is a polish compound called Displex. This worked best for me on GameBoy, mobile phones and MP3 players.
Just look for it on ebay, should be as cheap as 1-2 Euros (about the same in $)

Hi thanks a lot for the reply Zuzler, are you sure it will work on a touch diamond? And have you tried it on anything touchscreen?
I tried Displex on my old htc tornado, and it didn't work very well for me.
i got HUGE scratches on my TD
the first day i got it there was a scratch on it.. before i could apply the screenprotector...
wish we could buy the front plastic for our TD/MDA, i once checked it out and the front is actually a 'screenprotector (just a piece of plastic with the black on the side ) ' too (at least mda) but if you rip it off you'll see all the bits inside i think.. so applying a fully transparent screenprotector over it would be ugly...
whoops double reply
BRASSO is good. available in the UK and US. do not get into gaps.
Oh, I forgot to mention that:
I think someone around here already wrote that. Since Displex melts the top layer of the display, it might be useless for the Diamond display since it has not the typical plastic-surface. But as I can not confirm that, you might want to research it yourself.

I dont think I will risk testing the brasso, but many thanks for your help Also I have bought a screen protector now it should come in a week or two, I know its a bit late but do you think it will cover up the scratches?
If the scratches are not too deep and you polish the display with a non-fuzzing cloth before applying the protector you should get quite good results.
See this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415933
Back in the day when I had a iPod Video, i had heaps of scratches on the screen (brasso wouldn't work very well). I put on a screen protector and none of them could be seen anymore. Wouldn't have known there are scratches on it. I dunno if it would work on the Diamond but its worth a go.
new anti-scratch device
they sell some devices out there which are...
..well, I don't know how to describe them...
I'll try, anyway: they are transparent and very thin plastic layers which often have a sticky compound on one side and you generally apply on the screen (and buttons like in the Diamond) of your phone. In this way you can scratch them but they prevent scratches on your screen.
They are amazing, and everybody should get one together with the new phone...
Obviously you have to purchase one before scratching the display.
I would say that this method could be called PREVENTION!

i've tried silicon-gel(wet metod) didnt like the texture (look like alot of mini bubbles easily scratched. (also doesn't protect the front camera) btw i order Back lens glass protector for that
today ive applied 3D glass (figured out glue only on the edges) didnt know S10E got edges its feel like the screen is abit on the air and sometimes touch missing
i search for regular plastic flim but kind find those anymore
also cant find flat glass for S10E (i guess the corners will not be protected if there's such thing)
what to you use,
thanks
I'm still using the stock plastic protector, as i heard the tempered glass ones mess a lot with touch sensibility.
You can get replacement stock plastic ones from Samsung store : https://www.samsung.com/fr/mobile-accessories/screen-protector-s10e/

Yup. TG = 'tempered glasses' do mess with sensitivity. But not all TG have the same issues. But suppose you find yourself with a TG that causes the issue you mentioned. Simply go to settings and increase screen sensitivity. Problem solved. At the end of the day, the stock PP = 'plastic protector' is samsungs way of helping you keep your device unprotected => damage => need of a new phone from the same company => samsung => takes more of your money => repeat. I do not recommend the stock PP.
The stock protector which came out of the box. Works perfectly for me. I was actually pleasently surprised it came with a protector to begin with.
Hi, a little late to the party. Anybody still here?
Apparently S10e comes new with a screen protector already install'd. I can sort of see it when looking at a corner. I would like to replace it with something that has an anti-glare matte finish. But I'm afraid of causing scratches or worse damage when removing the stock protector. How did you remove yours? (Any advise will be appreciated, thanks.)
Even with that oil that ships with some protectors: I apply it, it does seem to get between the protector and the screen, but after some hours, and normal usage, I end up pushing it back out and getting that ugly white edge on some parts... is there any solution for this?
Re-applyinmg does not seem to work: I've already applied one entire bottle and, after 3 weeks, I still keep having the same issue....
Don't push it out? Zero issues here.

It gets pushed out by itself from normal use, being inside my pocket or just sticking it to my ear when making calls...
Try the glass from *******.
Its a simple thing to be resolved. Either apply mineral oil to the "white edges" or apply UV loca and then cure it with UV light. If you wish to read more just google chinese sites with the keywords "
白边“ and use google translate to read more on it
found it!
It's from amazon, they are recognizable by the fact that those always have a "frame" to help you perfectly place it because it's a tempered glass that doesn't have disgusting white edge air gab and black gameboy border....
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61-0k8gd88L._SL1000_.jpg
You can find some picture from me in the review section
The only disadvantage is that you have a margin around the tempered glass, but it doesn't mater if you use a case (else why protecting your screen only? as the main break come from corner).
at least i can finally enjoy this georgous screen.
This is by far the best tempered glass i used for this phone. Comes with installation frame so it's always a perfect fit

Do you by any chance use a cover with this?
I got some tempered glass for my mom's phone, but using a cover would push the glass off the screen.
Or at least make it lose contact around the edges.
