I received Brando's anti-glare protector today. It's a perfect fit, even has a little hole in the top left corner where the proximity & light sensors are. However...
It makes the screen look like sh*t, everything is "grainy" or "foggy". I can barely read my email (using the stock gmail client). I've always been a fan of Brando's screen protectors, ever since I bought one for my Axim X5 in.. what? 2003 or so... and their "Ultra-clear" protectors are still great (i put one on my wife's Magic and you can't tell it's there), but their anti-glare ones are pretty much useless on the N1 and similar phones.
Has anyone else used this particular screen protector? Was it as bad as mine, or did i just get a dud?

I just got my BoxWave anti-glare protector today, and it is really clear... if it turns out it is just an issue with all Brano's, take a look at the Boxwave one's. I got it 3 days after ordering it, came with a cleaning cloth and application card. As well, it is static cling too boot!
box wave sells really good screen protectors.
any pictures of it on the N1? please?

My only camera is my N1 right now since I just sold my G1 and the digital camera is at my brothers... I will try to grab it next time I go over there.
I will say that the fit is pretty good, but not perfect, it has about 1mm on one side and the top(I decided when I laid it down, I would do it that way so the bottom and right side was fully covered). When off, there is a hair of cloudiness, when on there is a hint of graininess and whites give a "prism" look at the correct angle, but both effects keep getting less and less as it has more time to fully work itself onto the screen and get all the air out. I suspect in a day or two there will be no "prism" effect of graininess.
It has a great feel to it when swiping, no drag at all. As well, fingerprints are a thing of the past.
I also ordered one of their ultra-clear, not anti-glare, and it is just perfectly clear. I use my phone outside a fair amount, though, so I wanted to do the anti-glare first and see if I could withstand the graininess and what not that is common with all anti-glare screen protectors. Compared to ones I have used in the past, just generic eBay ones, on my G1 and a TyTN II, this is the best anti-glare I have seen so far.

static cling. My experience on my Tilt was that it stayed on very well, but easy to take off.
If you start with dust or anything under the protector, it is easy to lift with a piece of tape and get the dust off. If necessary, you can take it off, wash with a little soapy water, dry it, and put it back on.
Had to do that with the Tilt because I was so ham-fingered when putting it on.

Static, like was already mentioned. I would not recommend the "anti-glare" for anyone that wants or expects it to be 100% crystal clear. Even after a couple days, I still have the slight "prism" effect going on... it works great in the sunlight making it so you can see the screen, but I don't think the outdoor improvement is worth the trade off.
As for application, the best way is to start taking off the backing, and then as you lay it down remove it more and more along the way.
The screen protector is thick enough that it lays down really really well with out any air bubbles.

can you post some photos with the N1 screen on and off?
In case anyone's interested, I uploaded a video to Vimeo. It's here: www"DOT"vimeo"DOT"com/9087329 (<3 spam rules for "new" users)
Note that the video actually makes the screen protector look a lot better than it really is...
My screen is currently "naked" and I'm waiting on dcmugen's clear screen protector (bought a pack of 5 for like 5 EUR).
Edit/update: uploaded to youtube as well (try the 1080p version) - www"DOT"youtube"DOT"com/watch?v=0yxpBL1zsFo
yes, i have ordered many different screen protectors in my time. just got an hd2 and decided to go with the brando anti glare... horrible! it is the most unreadable anti glare sp i have ever bought. the fit and and the cut is perfect, but it diffuses too much light. it does reduce glare but absorbes too much light that it makes the entire screen too light that you cant see anything anyway.
even my 5 dollar dc mugen for my mt3g used better material. i may have to try the boxwave.
i did end up buying the brando ultra clear after and those are still top notch.
Hi,
I have a had a Boxwave & Clarivue Anti-Glare, both decrease the clarity of the screen & I would not recommend.
I have ended up using a Clarivue Ultra Clear. You sustain the clarity of the screen & you can't even notice that it is there. Also when you order you get two sets at the same price of buying one Boxwave.
I would recommend Clarivue if you want to get the Ultra Clear, but if you still want to decrease the glare of the screen. I would recommend that you find a alternative screen protector that is not a Anti Glare but with a matt finish.
I have a 10% discount code if you want to order a Clarivue.
code: Clarivue7
Thanks

I like anti glare because it has the "matte" feel. Do all 3 Boxwave & Clarivue Anti-Glare and brando have that feel?

Clarivue & Boxwave Anti-Glare do have the matt feel, but decrease clarity.
Better off going with a standard matt screen protector.

Hi,
I think this might be what you are looking for. I done a quick search.

I haven't tried it but looks promising and cheap. You can ask the seller if you have any queries.
Has anyone used these Clairvue Screen Protectors for the G2? If so, how are they and did you get the ultra-clear or anti-glare?
I have the ultra-clear one and it is so clear I can't tell it's there. It's easy to apply, Looks great, and feels almost exactly like the glass underneath it. You can't even tell it's there. I highly recommend them.

I've been looking for a decent quality static cling screen protector. This one sounds pretty good. Does anyone have the Anti-Glare one? How does it look? Does it darken the screen much? Does it keep finger prints off?

I believe all anti-glare films, regardless of the brand, will do that and also decrease the clarity of the screen. It's just how they work.
I bought Clarivue ultra clear the same time i ordered my otterbox, the otterbox screen protector was really good. But the Clarivue protector is amazing, install was not hard at all. I did an amazing job installing it no bubbles or lint at all. I showed the phone to my friend and he couldn't believe that i had a screen protector on. The cut is perfect covers the whole screen. When you install it make sure you put some tape on the edges, it will be easier to align the protector. i took pics of the phone with the screen protector on, i was just trying to show that no lint is present.
These protectors are awesome. No one could tell that I even have a screen protector on! They fit extremely well and feel exactly like the glass, unlike zagg or similar which gives you a rubbery feel and creates more friction than anything else (annoying as hell if you use swype). Highly recommend!
Been using them for years, love them, thats all I buy for my devices, thats the first thing I do when I get a new device is get the Clarivue screen protector.
Just ordered the Ultra Clear screen protector.
Free world wide shipping!
just orderd one to my mobile to, its so easy to put on in the video i saw. thx for the coupon 2
i recived mine today. its pretty good but the ****ing problem that annoys me is that its not exactly cut!! it doesnt cover the whole screen... is urs perfect fit or should i contact them?
i have the clarivue anti-glare and its decent but this is probably the second anti-glare ive ever bought for a phone so i don't have much experience with them. compared to the first one i bought from tmobile its definitely an upgrade... fingerprints are visible after a while and the screen is diminished a bit but overall i do like it. the cut isn't perfect as it doesn't cover certain areas completely but i mean its like a millimeter off.

I had to take off the ultra clear screen protector, because it got scratched up. Could not stand all the scratches. I installed the second one, but its not a perfect fit like the first clarivue protector. Im not sure why the second was was not a perfect fit, but i will leave it on.
Does anyone have a new coupon code?
the protect331 expired...
Alright I got the new code, just ordered the Anti-Glare screen protector.
I'm pretty satisfied with the ultra clear protector, so now i'm trying these out.
Dratz, I should have checked this forum before I bought mine, haha.
I grabbed http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220676439684 for $3.99
I'll let you guys know if its any good.
I,was waiting for HTC Desire Z screen protectors to hit the market because I can't order anything...
after 3 months of use my screen protector started to loose (mostly because of the dust i got between the display glass and the protector when i mounted it)
i have dropped keys and a heavy metallic cigarette lighter on my phone while i had my screen protector on and i noticed when removed it today that my screen looked as it did when my phone were brand new
Mounted the new protector today (since i got 2 when i ordered it) without getting any dust particles under it and it still looks brand new
Too bad the rest of my phone starts to look quite used
Hi,
someone konw a very good sreen protector? I only have a very simple one.
I use the official HTC screen protector: HTC Desire HD Screen Protector SP P430
http://i.expansys.com/i/b/b203639.jpg
Probably not is the best one, but for me it serves.
Until now it is fine!
Case Mate worked really well for me, easy on easy off
Best Screen Protector I have EVER used I bought from Phantom Skinz
(link -http://phantomskinz.com/)
and its amazing and tough as hell and very easy to fit.
Ive also just got 1 from Zagg, which is very nice too
Dont buy those crappy skin protectors on ebay, most are fakes and the rest are rubbish, with only about 3/10 real or of any use
HiT The THaNKS if I HeLPeD
Don't get yourself those cheap screen protector..
for those cheap anti glare sp, you'll have rainbow effect which will distort the vividness of your screen.. i tried these sp before and i recommend: Capdase Imag, iDEFENSE, and the well known Steinheil Ultra Fine series.. go and get any of these brands and you won't regret it..
i have the official htc screen protectors, as with any screen protectors they can be a bit fiddly to get on properly first time so i ordered a couple of packs of them. Once i managed to get one on without any air bubbles, it's stayed on perfectly and you barely notice it's there. i've had it on for 4 months and it's showing no signs of wear like some of the cheap ebay ones do )
If you are willing to spend the money, the Martin Fields ones are very, very good. You don't notice they are there, and they are nice and smooth, like the glass on the screen. Just nake sure you put them on the right way, like all of the full front screen protectors for this phone.

Ive got the official HTC screen protector on mine, its been on for nearly 5 months now and still in great condition
Another vote for the official HTC screen protector. Its not the cheapest and its a bit of a pig to fit perfectly but its really good and extremely hard to notice.
I have Brando Ultra Clear and it's great. You won't recognize there is a screen protector.

+1, I bought one the other day from overlayplus.com. It arrived extremely quickly and while it did take some work to make sure no dust got in-between the screen and the protector once it was applied it fitted seamlessly to the point where I can't even tell it's there. So yeah, worth every penny.
I use really cheap ones from ebay and it's fine. I replace the it aboot every 12 weeks but for 18p each, who cares?
I apply with a spray of lightly soaped water and never getting get any air bubbles.

Personally would suggest a look into the sedio ultimate screen protector, not the easiest to put on though. I wrote a review which should be on the first page of this forum if you wish to check it out.

Yeah I would agree the official HTC screen protector is the best.
For first aid, Brando shop screen protector also does the trick. Not as good as official, but I liked it better than Invisible shield.
Easy to put on, washable, ok protection level.
Am I able to get a Phantom Skin shipped to Australia?
They seem to be high quality and reusable. I want!
Screen Protectors
I bought Zagg's invisible shield. You only get one and it is like installing car tint but it is pretty damn good and lifetime replacement. its about 19.99 to 20 or somewhere like that. worth it though.
after reading this topic i will also buy htc protector.
did someone heard about anti reflex screen protectors?
i heard after using this the sharpness get bad.
is that really soo bad??
sun light you cant see anything on the screen.
I use the HTC Screen Protectors too.
But bought them because of the review of some other users.
I cant say they were wrong The shield fits perfect, has no overlapping edges, is nearly invisible especially with a bodykit/protector.
One thing ... that infers ...sunlight!
Under the sky you cant really see anything if you are not in a dark shadow of something.
So ... anyone made experience with matt/faint/milky protectors?
I heard be someone else, that under the sky the view of the screen is much better.
Im planning to switch out my old stock screen protector that came with the phone as there are some scratches on the screen protector. Im wondering, which screen protector is the best for my phone as in durability and clarity and cheapness (under 15$). Also anti glare is not a feature i would need but it would help as long as there is no rainbow effect on the screen

This has been discussed extensively in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800638
I have a Skinomi screen protector and I love it. I got mine shipped to be for about 9 bucks. Use the coupon code skinomi25 for 25% off. Pretty much covers the shipping costs and tax.
I like the Skinomi because it is durable, easy to install and I can hardly tell it is installed on the phone. It retains the natural glass feel of the screen and doesn't affect the touchscreen at all.
The one thing I can advise is to use patience when installing it. You can reapply the protector as long as it is wet. It took me about three tries but once I got it placed perfectly, it looks fantastic.
I was just talking about this earlier... I would recommend ClearTouch Anti-Glare screen protectors (they have a "Crystal" version as well) by a company called Boxwave. I use the anti-glare version. It still looks brand new and I've been using it for over 6 months now. Screen visibility and sensitivity seem totally unaffected; no rainbow effect though the anti-glare is very mildly textured. The texture quality seems unnoticeable when the screen is lit. It's reasonably priced too.
the cheapest screen protector you can get is the household saran wrap
just kidding.
check ebay. there's alot for a really good price
I like to review accessories on XDA. After reading the rave reviews concerning Clarivue screen protectors I decided to contact them for a review unit. Alex from Clarivue was nice enough to send me one of their 4 way privacy screen protectors for the Nexus 4.
I have always been a fan of matte screen protectors. I have a Tech Armor Matte screen protector on my Nexus 7 and love it. I would rather sacrifice a little screen quality in order to avoid the hassles of screen glare and fingerprints. What I have learned over the years is that there is a big difference in price, quality and screen degradation between manufactures of matte screen protectors. With a price of $19.99 at www.clarivue.com the Clarivue LG GOOGLE NEXUS 4 4 WAY PRIVACY SCREEN PROTECTOR is far from the cheapest on the market. While many companies have yet to make accessories for the Nexus 4, history shows most of the competition will price around the $6.95-$11.95 range. So my question is what makes this screen protector worth the extra cost and should I buy a privacy protector over a standard anti-glare?
At first look this privacy screen protector resembles a regular matte finish. (Please see the picture below of my clarivue screen protector alongside my nexus 7 Tech Armor matte protector.) You can see it has multiple closed layers and it has a little bit of a rippled look when viewed with the screen off. My finger still moves smoothly over the surface. The finish has an anti-fingerprint layer helping to prevent smudges when you touch the screen. In a stark contrast to the $4.95 screen protectors, the Clarivue privacy protector comes with a clear protector for the rear of the device. In my opinion, this is a fantastic idea and I am surprised more manufactures have not adopted this. The combination of a privacy screen for the front and a clear screen for the back is only logical and still allows you to showcase the design on the rear of the Nexus 4. Packaging for the screen protectors was top notch. In addition to the attractive packaging from Clarivue, it was also placed in a bubble wrap package to insure it was not damaged in transit. Shipping time took 5 days via USPS.
The fit and finish of this protector set is amongst the best on the market. The film is actually the thickest I have ever experienced with a screen protector. Due to the curved edge of the Nexus 4’s screen, Clarivue was not able to build the screen protector from edge to edge. As a privacy screen protector it did lead to an interesting design flaw. When viewing the screen protector from the side, light actually slips around the sides of the screen protector. The anti-glare, anti-fingerprint layer works very well. Viewing angles were interesting. Please review the screen shot below. When viewed from a 45 degree angle the screen is still clearly visible and I was able to read the information clearly (First picture after up close screen shots). I have also posted images of an 80 degree angles. Please note that the screen information can still be seen. This was the same when viewed from the top and bottom as well. Another note is that with a privacy screen protector installed the notification light is very hard to view. Keep this in mind if you use this on a daily basis.
The screen degradation on the Nexus 4 with the Clarivue Privacy protector installed is substantial. I will be the first to admit that this is my first experience with a privacy screen protector. From my research I knew the protector would decrease clarity. I was not aware of the black lines that create a grid network across the screen. It does not lead to a pixilated look that can sometimes be present in matte screen protectors. It almost resembles looking at an extremely clear screen through a chain link fence. In comparison to a matte screen protector, the Clarivue privacy screen protector does cause a larger decrease in screen clarity and light passage. I have also noted a decrease in initial touch sensitivity with the screen protector installed. Initial touch will register at .50+ and scrolls will register as low as .34. I have noticed multiple missed presses after installing the protector. Despite the decrease in sensitivity I am actually impressed at how little it changed the normal responsiveness based on the thickness of the material.
Clarivue sells the Privacy Protector with a stated scratch resistant coating. In order to test this was wanted to see how the protector stood up against a set of keys. I performed the standard key to screen scratch test. I am shocked to say that the Clarivue screen protector performed FANTASTIC! Using light to moderate pressure I was only able to get one micro scratch what is not viewable with the screen on. Great job Clarivue! I would definitely trust this screen protector in a pocket or purse with keys and other objects. This is important when you think about the cost knowing that the screen protector will last for the foreseeable future.
In final, my impressions of the Clarivue Privacy Screen Protector are that it has top of the line quality and great packaging. The screen protector does not completely black out the screen when viewed from an angle, and it does cause a noticeable decrease in screen quality. Would I recommend this privacy screen protector for $19.99? No I would not. I am however considering getting their version of the matte screen protector. The ultra-clear back they sent me is beautiful, however it is a fingerprint magnet. I think that for $14.99 for two anti-glare protectors the quality is worth the cost. Clarivue was nice enough to provide us with a 10% discount code for reading this review. At checkout please use: ten2013. It is valid until 30 June 2013.

I think all the screen protectors have the same cut. The good part is that it does have the cut out for the proximity sensor. To be honest I don't think you will find a screen protector with a closer cut unless you go with a wet install.

Do you have any pics of the scratches on your protector? If you have any negative comments about the customer support please post it so everyone knows. They charge top price so you should expect a top of the line product.

For me the screen protector is nice and all. I got the anti glare one and the matte feels smooth. The screen protector didn't come with a proximity sensor cut out... Which I think is necessary so I emailed them about it. I don't like how the screen protector bubbles at the sides of the phone right before the curve part like mentioned by the op.
OP thanks for the review. I am a sucker for the anti glare protectors. Question for you though, I know I want the anti glare for the front but still want to be able to show off the back. How did the anti glare effect the look of the back of the phone. I emailed Alex to see if they could throw together a anti glare front and clear back for me but he suggested ordering two different sets.... don't think so at these prices! Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I ordered a set of 3 cheap anti-glare screen protectors from eBay, came in today and yes, the sides aren't probably going to be covered by any dry install screen protectors and anti-glare is great at fingerprints and glare but suck for degrading the screen quality.
Now, I don't know if I should take off the xtremeguards that I currently have and install the antiglare now.

From my understanding if you order the matte front it does come with a matte back in the set. I received the privacy protector which is paired with a clear back. So the one I have installed is clear and I can not comment on a matte protector on the back. I would say that I agree with you about the cost being to excessive to buy 2 separate protectors (matte front, clear back). The clear back looks nice however I still get a air bubble every once in a while in the center of the back. It is not from dust and I can easily squeeze it out. This is the first time I have experienced this before.
Alex asked me to send him feedback from the customers so they cold recommend improvements. I think they Clarivue should seriously consider making an option for a matte/clear set. I mean seriously, who wants a matte back with such a beautiful design?
Sorry I could not be more help. If I stumble across a pic of a matte back I will pm the link to you.

Awesome. Thanks for the reply. I'm sure there's a picture floating around somewhere out there but nothing like first hand experience ya know. Once again thanks for taking the time to do a review for everyone.
As for matte front/clear back....like I said alex didn't seem to think it was a reasonable request, blatantly telling me to order 2 separate sets. I had a word or two for him but I try not to let the small things in life bother me too much.

I completely agree about not sweating the small stuff. I would just hope that knowing he sent me a FREE screen protector set to review he would listen to the feedback. Actually he specifically said that's the reason he sent me one.
I will let him know. If nothing else hopefully both of us barking helps.

Well just to follow up, Clarivue is going to send me a new package that has the proximity sensor cut out at zero cost. Pretty good customer service I'd say.
