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

screen protector
Buy it here. Great price and free delivery. I ordered mine here.

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.

What screen protector i will choose?

Im going to buy a Desire but i can choose the screen protector reading varius comments in this forum.
Martin Fields?
Invisible Armor?
Vikuiti?
Brando?
Other?
The price dont matter!

Invisible shield by ZAGG works really great.

On my Magic G2 i have a Vikuiti and its the best protector i think!

The post regarding invisible armor are no good

Just got my Viktui protector this morning. Having used a Zagg shield for my Touch HD (over 18 months I ahd to use two) I can tell you that I am astounbded by how easy the Viktui one was to apply. Really, really straight forward with no bubble or anything. It also fits so snugly onto the screen that I can't tell it's there - a perfect fit. I cant's peak for its protectability yet but so far I'm very impressed.

i have both Zagg and Vikuiti though i have yet to put on the Vikuiti one coz it seems the Zagg one is looking OK at the moment. I'm tempted to remove my Zagg front screen but i'll give it another couple weeks to see how it feels etc, otherwise i'll be installing the Vikuiti front screen.

I try many protection for my old Nokia N900, and for me the best is brando ultraclear.
Best quality/price.

I've used a vikuiti screen protector and whilst it was ok as an interim screen protector, I found that it attracted finger prints quite a bit & after a while it felt powdery to touch. Just my own opinion.
I've now fitted (took a few goes) an exim spuc which feels a lot smoother, less prints & responsive. I'm happy now

I had a brando ultraclear on my Touch Dual before and worked nice.
I prefer a screen protector that leave the color, the resolution and the responsivness unaltered.
I'm so confuse

My advice is not to bother with a screen protector at all.
Having owned a G1, Hero, and now a Desire, I've never had a screen protector on any of them, and never suffered a single scratch.
IMHO, as long as you're reasonably careful, you can rely on the scratch resistant nature of the screen.

Dave

This is true - sort of. I had my Dream for nearly 18mths unprotected, and only have one 5mm scratch on the entire screen, However this is a result of me dropping it. I was careful about not keeping it in a pocket with anything else in it that whole time.
On balance this was a hassle, and although I still do it with my (screen-protector covered) Desire through habit, on the occasion I forget to I am glad it's protected. Imagine how gutted you'd be if you ended up with a 1" scratch right on the middle of the screen! Especially since it's a brand new (to most of us) phone. I think a few quid for piece of mind is a small price to pay, no matter how careful you think you can be. What if you show it someone else and THEY drop it?

Lol I was glancing over and thought... not 5mm deep?, lol.

Let me say, without exaggeration, I've tried nearly all screen protectors out there over time for various devices.
If you live in, or travel to, hot & humid places stay away from invisible shield protectors they start their own peeling process shortly after a trip into humidity.
My favorite, by far, are the Durasec - HighTec protectors.
They are a bit thick feeling at first, but you get used to them quickly and you need only one for the life of your device. They are manufactured to exact specs of the screen, per device. They do not scratch, unlike some thin plasticy like ones. They are "self healing" for lack of better description.

I recently went with the FoneM8 HTC Desire Screen Protector from an Amazon Marketplace seller. For under £2 it works like a charm and you wouldn't know it was there! Plus I have 4 spares that I can use at another time if need be!

Stay away from forever fitters. I bought one and while they are ok for the price the grainy rainbow effect is driving me nuts so i am already looking for an alternative. I'm trying to find one that is clear so it does not effect the screen's quality. So far i'm waiting for a martin fields review and maybe a couple of pics...

Flexible Hard Case (not silicone) DCMugen Review - now with pictures!

Hey guys,
I don't usually post much as I mostly read the great things people post in this great community, but i had to make a review for this case for everyone. I have bought a case from this ebay user (dcmugen) since i got my mytouch. Then my Nexus, and now my G2. This case is awesome to me. Heres my review:
Feeling: These cases are made from some type of flexible material called Thermoplastic polyurethanes, or TPU. This plastic gives it a flexible feeling but solid. Hard to explain other than saying its a stiffer silicone case. Though it feels rubbery to the touch and the grip you get on it is great, It will slide in and out of your pocket without getting caught on fabric.
Fit: When I first looked at the case I made sure all the openings were there for the speaker, flash, light sensor, etc. Everything has a smooth opening and there is nothing that is left out. Took me less than 2 minutes to put the case together. Since the case is TPU, it doesn't seem to run any risk of scratching your phone once put on. Both sides of the case fit snug and once on, The phone is able to completely close without any space left open between keyboard/screen. When open, it leaved a little void but it is not noticeable.
Typing on it, takes a few times to get used to as the feel of the phone is a little different. The top row of keys are still accessible with no problems, but again take getting used to because of the touch of the new case.
The screen area is raised. This allows your phone to be dropped on the screen and not get hurt! The case also comes with a screen protector, though not like a Zagg screen, works quite well and I recommend it. The trackpad is easily accessable and is not hindered in any way.
The hardware buttons are covered and have a fully solid TPU button over them and are enclosed in the case. They still work perfectly and have had no issues with them.
Protection: Since I've had these cases before, I can vouch and say they protect quite well. I've dropped my phones on concrete, dirt, chairs, tables, etc, and they will not get scratched.
All in all, for the $5 I paid, I'm alot happier with this one, than the cheap hard plastic one i bought from Amazon that broke after a week of use. Highly recommend this.
Here is the link to the Ebay store
http://stores.ebay.com/DCMUGEN
I will post pictures of mine either later tonight or tomorrow morning.
Side note: the item is shipped from Hong Kong and takes a bit to get to you. Usually my cases get to where I am (New Orleans) within a full week. So be patient.
Pictures! Finally!

It wouldn't let me post pictures because of a 8 forum post limitation. This is my 8th post. Don't like spam but i dont want to randomly post in stuff i don't have interest in! Pictures are coming up in a few minutes.

Dude that's an awesome case. I've been waiting for something like that. I have an otterbox but i like to mix it up a bit. Is it tight fitting?
sent from my V I S I O N.

How hard is the case to take on an off? Some of the oem ones felt like i was gonna break my phone taking them off I just want one to keep on it at work.

Patrick: it is a very snug case and does not slide around while on the phone. I can type and have no problems with it.
ionic7: the case takes less than 5 seconds to take off. Does not feel like it will scratch your phone either. Thats one of the main things that bother me with hard plastic shell cases.

I would also like a direct link to the case you have, please! I want one.

I highly recommend their screen protectors too.
Their clear one is top notch.
Matte and other variations are expected to have a decrease in screen quality (as with any brand)

well i ordered one..and it came with a screen protector eventhough ive already got a couple. haha. right now im sitting with an otterbox back, with a front piece from a rubberized tmobile case. its nice.

Resized pictures. Sorry didn't notice they were huge as a brower extension i have automatically resized them to fit.
I know its late, but this is the one i ordered:

I just wish they would make a red one. I'd be all over it!

Looks like a great case, I have the otterbox and I like it but looking for something a little bit thinner. It adds a bit a bulk to the phone. Anyone used both and can give a comparison?

There are some other G2 TPU cases with an argyle pattern on the back. These come in a few more color options, including red. Just do a search for "G2 red tpu case" on ebay. I have a clear one myself. These cases are great!

I am with you that I wish the otterbox had more grip to it. Looking forward to seeing your comparison.

sick of crappy cases

I'm planning to get a skinomi carbon fiber skin for my infinity cos Im starting to hate cases now (don't even have one for my mobile).
But I want something to protect my screen and use as a stand and not cover the back.
Perfect I'll get the transleeve.
EXCEPT I can't seem to get the thing from anywhere!!!!
I'm from Australia BTW, so no retail stores sell it (that I'm aware of). The only ones I can find on the net are on eBay, but its pink. There is also another seller from the UK but they have it from $80 !!!!
Where can I get one of these covers. Otherwise I might have to settle for a sleeve with a built in stand or something.

I bought this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/360-Rotatin...es_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item4abcb180c9
Have been using it for the last couple of days and this has been the best case I've owned. It looks nice and is convenient enough to take anywhere. Well worth the money and is even better than some of my more expensive cases...

Overall I am very happy with it. It's a decent shell that cradles the unit with a "leather" that wraps around that. I don't know how
genuine any of these materials are but they seem fine.
The ring in the middle seems to be where all the magic happens. It spins very easily.
In response to rndmnss's concern over the ring scratching the back of the infinity I spun my
infinity around in this thing like a propeller for a bit and after taking it out I couldn't see any
scratches, BUT the way the back of the infinity is polished (those circular patterns) I'm not sure
I would've been able to tell if it was scratching it. I to a picture with a playing card against the ring
to show just how close it really is. If I was really concerned about it scratching I would file just a
little off of the ring. There is enough there it shouldn't mess with functionality to lose a little.
The only problem i had was when using the case as a stand once it sat a little crooked after
looking around i seen that the back hadn't rotated completely. It was an easy adjustment and
hasn't happened since.
I wasn't sure about the edges at first. They look like they were melted to the right size but they
seem to grab the four corners just fine.
The cutouts are good everywhere for me. Volume and Power buttons seemed weird at first but
thats just because i was so use to them with no case. Camera also seems pretty protected.
There are only two positional grooves in the microfiber instead of three on most. Another one or two
would have been nice for versatility but these work just fine in both portrait and landscape orientations.
The thickness of it also works well. Feels slim yet thick enough that there is plenty to hold on to.
The case fits tight enough that there is NO room inside i would feel comfortable squeezing a stylus into
it but there is plenty of room to slide the clip on the stylus in the edge. I bend the clip so it would fit
more to my liking (not to hard or soft).
Spinning it 180 degrees and closing works great for charging. Without a dock to test with I'm not sure
if there is enough room to plug it into one when in this position.
Overall I really love it (especially for $15). Once I get a keyboard dock I will need to look at some other
options but this would still be great for when not using the dock and it comes in and out of the case easy
enough you could swap between this another case without any trouble.
This is the listing I used
http://www.ebay.com/itm/160888793528?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Bought it on 10/04 and it arrived on 10/12
Hope this helps.

I had bought mine from the same listing. I haven't had any problems with it whatsoever and am very happy with my purchase.
EDIT: Forgot to say that you won't be able to use the dock with this case.

looks like just what i was looking for. might order soon... thx for the reply:good:

Wow,
Pretty sweet!
It protects the corners.
Wish I could run to a store a get it right now.
Nice case.

Yeah I got one of those for my iPad. It a great type of case but it really adds quiet a bit of bulk, which is what I'm actually trying to avoid with the whole skin + transleeve thing here. I mean what's the point of buying a tablet this thin when I'm just going to add a cover which adds so much bulk.
I hate to say it but apple knew what they were doing when they made the smart cover + case. Gives enough protection while still keeping the tab slim. I don't know what more you could ask for.
The Asus transleeve had good potential except for the fact that the build quality is apparently horrible and it didn't really have a closing mechanism to keep the cover from flopping around. Also the whole scratching thing (but the skin would have kinda protected it from that).
I'm sure I would have got a few looks from those iPad owners when i folded up that weird origami stand.
Oh well ill just buy a standard sleeve then ... disappointed.

I don't worry about the glass very much. It's Gorilla glass 2, which can take quite a beating. heck, I dropped an inifinity onto a concrete floor from about five feet. Glass was prefectly fine. Can't say that about the rest of the case; metal bend, plastic cracked through.
Personally, I just bought a netbook sleeve for storage and transportation. Bought a portable folding stand. I keep the charger, stand, and various cables in sleeve pouch. Not perfect, but works enough. Then again, I wasn't trying to have an Android iPad.

I'd really like a "smart cover" type of case too. I know Asus sells one, but the engineering seems to be pretty bad.
