Ok, so my Desire is on order (and has been for ages!!! AAARGH!) and I obviously want to protect it. My first thought was the InvisibleShield but having read the thread on here, it seems that it really doesn't make the screen look or feel good and that is a dealbreaker for me. I have come from the crappy feeling touch HD and am totally jealous of my mates iPhone 3GS' glass screen, which feels lovely.
So what do you think the best options are?
1. InvisibleShield all over (40% off coupon is v tempting)
2. InvisibleShield on back, and other screen protector on front (if so which one feels/looks best?)
3. Nothing on back, screen protector on front...
?
Thanks a lot!
Honestly, I hate to use any protector, either on the back nor front.
The Desire itself is very gorgeous, magnificent and pretty as it is. Putting plastic ala condom does not do justice here.
But yeah, we still need to protect it. As a human, we are not perfect (yesterday I crashed my car).
To balance this, I choose to only protect the screen glass by using screen protector from martinfields.com (still on order). It is quite pricey but I am satisfied with the quality on my older devices + nintendo DSi.
Here if you want to know martin fields with nexus one:

And I use kind of pouch from soft leather to protect it from "dust":

Here you go mate.Uk seller.
I went for the Matin Fields protector, more expensive that the Brando though.
I've personally not receieved it yet but judging by the people who have it's supposed to be very good indeed?
i got the zagg one but it is to resistive for multi-touch mainly pinch zoom, can anyone review the brando one clear/anti glare ? pic if possible.
thanks
Cant do pics but take my word for it,its very good,if you put it on properly you cant even tell its there and very easy to apply.

It arrived this afternoon.
Very easy to apply, no bubbles at all. You can take it off, wash it and apply again if need be.
The touch sensitivity is exactly the same as before it was put on, very happy with it.
Personally having seen a friend with a cheap ebay screen protector on his Desire my advice would be to avoid them.
Ok, well having read this and other forums, I think Im gonna buy a Martin Fields or a Brando protector.
Any reason why I should spend almost 2x the price to get a Martin Fields one over the Brando (I dont particularly care about the cam lens cover, although it is a plus) ?

After reading loads of stuff about both, I finally pulled the trigger and went for the Martin Fields ones. Mainly because I couldn't be arsed for the Brando ones to be delivered from the US . I have a Zagg invisibleSHIELD on at the moment, and a) it was damaged when it came b)it's way too tacky and c) it looks crap, so I can't wait to get rid of it.
MobileFun have two for £18, and if you use MFFREE as a discount code, you get £2.50 knocked off, so essentially free shipping.
Hopefully mine will come Friday, MF are usually pretty quick. I'll let you know how it goes when I get them.
Great thread, thanks for the advice & feedback. Just ordered a Martin Shields with the MF code for free shipping.
It seems like MF and Brando are the way to go..
I've got a Zagg one atm, and although it does the job I might have to return it at some point soon. There's too much of a plastic feel to it. I'd much prefer the glass feel minus a shield but I guess sacrifices have to be made
MartinField (MF) is a VERY good screen protector, but it is so damn expensive as well.
When I was using my HTC Kaiser, I went to several cheappie screen protectors and all were crap. Yeah, I did not know at that time. I was trying to get the cheapest one
Even I was tricked to buy a 10+ package of screen protector for cheap!
Believe me, you must invest for this.
I am not steering you to go with MF, as other user said he got the one from Brando and also very good.
Bottom line, if you dont have a favorite brand ... then just pick one, but not the cheappie one or the 10+ package deal.
Then stick with that brand.
As for me, I am very satisfied with MF. Very easy to apply and always NO BUBBLES.
Put it on my old HTC Kaiser, HTC Touch Dual and Nintento DSi.
Ordered for HTC Desire, not yet arrive.
found this what do you guys think GENUINE?

I might order it today
I've bought martin fields protectors from Morpeth mobiles for my last 3 phones over a period of 3-4 years and I have never had cause for concern that they might be fakes. I have used their main online store rather than ebay though, but I can't see that there would be a difference.
Someone from morpeth mobiles posts on her occasionally too.
I do wish they would sell the martin fields twin packs though, as they are often cheaper than buying them individually and I always like to have a spare
I've had a Brando Ultraclear on my Hero. After applying the protector I noticed a small decrease in sensitivity.
Last week my Desire arrived, and I really had to adjust to the very sensitive screen. Much more stray touches, especially in the lower corner where my thumb is always close to the screen.
I'm gonna stick to the ultraclear.

These have to be the cheapest skins I've seen. Only pay shipping. $2.85 to Connecticut for me. I actually ordered 2 for $4.85
Haven't heard anything about their quality before, but if they are at least as good as other discount skins like BestSkinsEver, then I will be happy.
Zagg and the other more expensive skins are a complete rip off. So far this is also the first FULL cover skin I have seen for the G2.
I'll post pics and a review after I get them in a few days.
*UPDATE*
StealthGuards are not great. No where near "full protection" like Zagg or BSE. Didn't even finish installing because they aren't going to do what I want.
I'm actually using the T-mobile snap on gel skin (smells like ass when new, but fits great) and T-mobile anti-smear screen protectors (best I have used, amazingly). Got both cheap cause wifey's an employee.
Also, The snap on BodyGlove case T-mobile sells is twice as much as the gel one I have, and the fit sucks. It actually keeps the keyboard from opening all the way, making it wiggle forward and back.

I would not recommend these. Got 5 for my nexus and they all sucked. Main thing was the screen protector it looked horrible
Don't waste the shipping cost there horrible. Very poor quality there definitely not cut to fit. You will literally not even use it but just toss it.
still waiting for Bestskinever. its literally the same as the invisible shield though it doesn't come with a spray bottle, squeegee and fancy packaging. and it cost about 1.3 that of invisible shield.
Orderd one.. lets see how they hold up..
Normally buy ZAGG's but their quality has been horrible lately
Hope these are a little better than the cheapo ones on eBay..

On my HD2 it looks great. Installation is the make or break for these. They are like the Zagg ones in feel and quality. i ordered 4 @ $8.85 Basically $2.85 shipping on the 1st one $2.00 for each additional one.
I'm always weary of anything that I have to adhere to my phone.
I wouldnt get them, i mean if they are handing them out for free something is wrong with them... i usually get zagg invisible shield

There is nothing wrong with them. My HD2 full body was free, just pay shipping. They do promos all the time on new/popular devices. if you pick a kindle or a laptop or gaming device, they are priced. they do it to get their name out there. these have less texture on the film than zagg does. its smoother in my opinion.
Just got this Stealth Guard In
Hey guys,
I just got this for my G2 and I would have to say that it doesn't protect as much as the BSE or ZAGG skins. IT seems as though their plotter that makes the 2d cuts to fit a 3d object isnt really equipped to do any type of compound curvature. I installed it because well, it's better than nothing until BSE has one.
Installation: Installing this skin is super easy because it doesn't cover any corners or edges.
Coverage: On the front, it covers the whole screen including the black edge and capacitive keys and the plastic area below the track pad.
On the back, it the aluminum batter plate, the flat surfaces of the soft plastic and the spaces above and below the volume key and micro-usb port.
It does not protect ANY corners!
So, if you plan on getting this case, be aware that it will protect your phone from normal scratches involved with placing your phone on its front or back but will not protect the edges sides and corners.
On the front, can I use it as just a screen protector? I want a screen protector, not sure about the full body coverage. I dunno, I just ordered it, guess I'll see how I like it when I receive it. I mean, it was only $2.85 or so, so if I do not like it, it's a non-issue to pitch it and go buy a ZAGG or the T-Mo branded screen protector.
But the main thing I am interested in is screen protection
I had one of these on my nexus and it sucked ass. Also got one for my friends vibrant. Def not worth it. Ill get a zagg for my phone. Remember, you get what you pay for.

Received mine today and installed it. Easy install and looks good. screen protector fits perfect. Only thing is edges are not protected due to the roundness, also the metal around the screen is exposed because of the roundness also I assume.
I got mine in the mail today. I had a really hard time with it. I got it on the battery protector okay, but it doesn't quite fit. One side is too long. It may shrink after drying.
It's wet application and I just could not bring myself to wet down my G2. You also have to squeegee the water out from under the cover once it is installed. I imagined drops of soapy water dropping down into the speaker grill while doing this. I attempted to put the back piece on. It is shaped like a "C" and goes around the battery cover and has a cut out for the camera. I tried and tried and just could not get it to fit right.
I think I will go to T-Mobile tomorrow and just get a screen protector, unless I can find someone to professionally install a full cover. So right now just the battery cover has the Stealth Guard on it. I'm okay with this for now.
I don't usually have trouble with these things, but this is my first wet install. I put a full decal set on my Cliq with no problems at all.... Dry install. It was from skinit.com and I really like it. I included some pictures of my Cliq because I really like the skin and I want to show it off So hopefully they get some in for the G2.

I did say it was easy, but this was my 4th wet install. For example near the speaker i pushed the water away from it. Also before i start to squeegee the water i lay a cloth over the area before i squeegee to absorb excess water. My 1st install was on my G1 which i ordered a stealth guard for as well, the current invisible shield on it is looking beat up.
Don't get the T-Mobile screen protector, its one of those anti smear ones. When its on the screen it makes it lookf pixelated a little and in my eyes, down plays our G2 screen resolution a lot. I would try a clear one from amazon, cheap, easy to install and clear to see through.

Actually I picked one up today and I really like it. I see what you are saying about the pixilation though. But the feel of this thing is excellent! Very smooth under the finger. I was also able to put it on without a single bubble or dust speck underneath. I had one like this for my Cliq and if I remember right the pixilation mostly went away after it was broken in.
I saw a Zagg shields kiosk in my mall when I went to get the screen protector. They were busy so I didn't get any pricing. Maybe after this one wears out I'll go get one professionally installed.

Agreed, I actually like the t-mobile screen protector better than any others I have used. I don't notice any pixelation at all. covers the whole screen perfectly. Seems durable. And it's SO nice not to be constantly wiping smudge marks away like I had to with other protectors.
I'll add this update at the beginning too: but StealthGuards are not great. No where near "full protection" like Zagg or BSE. I'm actually using the T-mobile snap on gel skin (smells like ass when new, but fits great) and T-mobile anti-smear screen protectors. Got both cheap cause wifey's an employee.
I want to get a gel cover from T-Mobile but I have leather case that it wouldn't fit into any more. Tried out some other ones in the store but they were also too small.

Maybe if you measure the G2 with the cover you like, you could find a leather case that fits but was intended for another phone.

The stock one. Best price/quality ratio IMO. There are slightly better ones but ridiculously expensive. And the invisible shield is crap (at least for the iphone4, and I would never put it on my DHD).
Yes, definitely stay away from Zagg & other helicopter-blade-derived solutions. They are good for protecting the body from scratches, but you don't want that sticky, orange-peely screen protector.
My personal favourite over the last few devices I have owned, has been Martin Fields, but it is very expensive.
I have put on the stock HTC one, bought from a local seller on ebay.
The only thing to watch out for when applying it, is that there is a top and a bottom to the screen protector... the top has a slightly different profile compared to the bottom, and the HTC protector at least has the peel-away piece of plastic at the top.

I'm just curious - when did you buy the stock protector and does it have the two little bubbles at the top-left corner (where the peel-away piece was)? I'm hoping that HTC corrected their manufacturing line because on the early batches of the protectors (I bought mine Nov 2010) there are the two bubbles.
HTC original is the best indeed, little expensive but you get quality, had tried alot of others, all damage very fast !
I recomment the original HTC screen protector. They fit perfectly, but it's kinda hard to put them on without any dust and dirt. I tried it with one protector about 5 times, but had to wash it with water to get off the dirt. After a party, my screen was ****ed up. I don't know why, but I think it was a good idea to use a protector. So I removed it and now I have 3 scratches and a alot of very very small ones.

No, neither of the 2 that were in the pack, had bubbles - or unneveness in the top left corner.
I must say that I dislike putting screen protectors on, and the DHD seemed to be the most difficult of the 5 or 6 I have put on, due to how air gets in even if the protector is not aligned perfectly. Got it right eventually though

Weird. I'm using the "ZAGG Invisible Shield HTC Desire HD Skin" for 8 months now and it's still as clear as without it.
Bought 20 for a few pounds on ebay, the cheap ones work fine like any else. Even though they take scratches to them easy, you can easily wear 'em out for at least 6 months, and then you just apply a new one of your 20! 10 year lifespan is not bad, although I doubt I'll keep my phone for that long!
Must agree with you Juusuhako, also boght some cheap screen protectors, which saved my screen from geting broke when it slipt once from my hands.
For me they last about 3-4 months

sedio ultimate screen gaurd. I wrote a review on it some time ago, by far the best i've ever used.
Does the original HTC one slide well? Cause most of the time they're a little sticky and make the utilization less smooth.
I use the protection ship with the Case-mate "Barely there" and it's good for me : good smoothness, no bubbles and easy to install.
With my previous desire i put a vikuiti DQC 160 and i find it more easy to install.
HTC protectors are fantastic indeed, but my own has the same two bubble problem described in the first posts.

I keep mine in the HTC branded leather case. 6 months of daily use, and it's immaculate. I could wipe the screen on my shirt and it would look like it was just unboxed.
I can't say the same for my Topaz, which is scratched, grazed, and chipped all over. Screen protectors protect the screen; Pouches protect the phone.

I'm quite impressed with the screen protector part of the package (which I also purchased). Would you happen to have any tips for applying it as flawlessly as you did?
I won't be getting Zagg again. I went through a several of them on my Vibrant but I could never get one that didn't have vertical lines that turned into rainbows when the screen was on. Also, I couldn't get use to the 'rubber' feel of the screen and just took it off.
Once I got the "Realook" I never looked back. I hope they come out with a screen protector for the Sensation.
Looks pretty nice, good job on the install!
So zagg went with 3 pieces of film on the back, I wonder how that is going to hold up in regards to the film peeling after a few months of use.
I got the full body film from Phantom Skinz and they did a 1 piece film for the back cover. I think it might the install a bit harder, though.
If you want to compare and contrast, I put up some pics here:

Max protection is $24.99 but you can always get a discount. I only paid $22, shipping included.
I'll never buy or recommend this product. Too grippy and has the orange peel effect. I had the full coverage on my wildfire and it felt really cheap!
I'm really considering buying the ZAGG shield to but as already been said I'm afraid the back will peel since it's 3 seperate parts.
But I'm really happy with the ZAGG shield on my iPad!
Anybody already had the feeling the back isn't gonna stay on for long?
And how are the soft keys responding with a screen protector over it?

100 % nice work ..excellent
I am sure there is nothing wrong with the Zagg skin, but i had one whole body skin from Zagg on my HTC Desire, and after a while it starts to sweat out glue, and that made me not wanting it.. The screen protector works fine too, although in the beginning it is very 'rubbery', but as you use it it gets better to handle. Best feeling is always just glass!
Get bestskinsever its a lot cheaper and the same thing.

Does it effect touch sensitivity? I've ordered my zagg, coming in few days but I'm not sure if it does have side effects
Thanks for your post,
Just order zagg film for my sensation!
I will report my experience too!
I used a Zagg shield for my Touch Pro 2. I love the shield but after a few months it does start peeling. I contacted Zagg and got a free replacement but I reckon the Sensation shield will start to peel, on the back pieces and the sides.
I think I'll get a TPU case and put a screen protector on.
Thanks for the pics though - I hope you have a better experience with your shield. You did a great application!
So ever since i got my one X i've been on a quest for a good screen protector. i started with cheapo ebay ones that were 6 for $2 but the edges lifted because it was a full screen protector and the quality wasnt great(they would scratch easily). I just recently bought the SGP screen protectors thinking because they were cut smaller i wouldnt have the issue of it lifting at the edges, but i still do. The quality of the SGP is good, it is not as fingerprint resistant as i had hoped but i still have the issue of it lifting. My gf has the Zagg HD on her phone which looks pretty good, does still have a bit of orange peel effect to it but otherwise covers a lot of the phone and does not lift at all because it is a wet application screen protector. I may have to buy one if i end up exhausting all other options, but till then i was wondering if anyone has found a screen protector they like on ebay before i pony up $30 for the Zagg HD at best buy
ZAGG HD, just do it
i wish i had bought a couple of those skinomis when they were .99 . i plan to use a case but from what ive seen the protector could work fine with a case

Those were apparently a bad batch and they wouldn't fully dry or something.
I just got an AT&T branded one from the AT&T store (I got 3 of them for $12) and they applied it for me.
I must say it is very nice. It doesnt have the lifting at the edges because it doesn't go all the way to the edge, it just goes to the extent of the flat part of the screen.
Its clarity is nice and it has a good matte finish.
I picked up the full front and back Zagg yesterday had AT&T throw it on mine yesterday. They put it on for free and I'm liking it.

the original or the HD? the original zagg is pretty awful in terms of orange peel and how your finger sticks to it. rohan when you say matte do you mean the antiglare? how does the screen protector do with scratches, some scratch more easily than others and become pointless because youre looking at a screen covered in scratches

I've only had it on for a day so I can't really tell you much about its durability, sorry.
And yeah I mean antiglare.
I said this in another thread about the Zagg HD.... The HD is FAR better than the regular Zagg in that there is ZERO orange-peel effect and it doesn't go all the way to the edge of the display so a case of any type won't pull up the edges at all. I've always used Zagg shields and because I used to work for Best Buy mobile I have become rather adept at installing them. The Zagg HD also gives you that 'glass' feel as well. It's almost like having nothing on your display at all.

it does have some orange peel effect, nowhere near as much as the original but lets be real, its a sham. there should be no zagg hd, this is just an improved product over their original, unfortunately this is how businesses propose they make money. Make a better product and charge a premium for it. if it weren't $30 I would have had one the day it came out. i'd pay the original $15 zagg price but double that is just ludicrous LUDA!!!

Thanks! watched a couple of reviews on ebay, doesn't look like theres any orange peel in the videos. ordered 2 front for my one x and a front and back for my future galaxy S3
I always buy the cheaper ones from eBay that don't have the 'water' application method. Tried that once, never again. Bad results.
I go for the Hong Kong ones, or USA resellers of them since they are cheap and work great for a couple years or more. I use disposable gloves in a humid bathroom to apply so as not to get much fingerprints/dust. Works great most of the time.
I also get the soft silicon cases from ebay which usually wrap around the front enough to cover the edges of the protector so I haven't noticed any edge peeling so far on the screen protector.
