Hey everyone, just got a htc Desire, and loving it. I bought it off of someone and its an unbranded european version. I want to get a good screen protector for it preferably from HTC themselves, but their own branded one is only available in the UK from play.com and I'm in the US. So do you guys know of any great screen protectors I can find online?
Zagg invisible shield.
No Zagg please.
IT's too soft and thick, it's hard to apply. It's adhasive side coming out from it's edges and it' makes dirts to stick on it.
I'm using commuter case oem screen protector and it feels better.

I got one last week and know exaclty what you mean about the sides sticking. mine has pocket fluff stuck to the side. I thought it was fairly easy to apply and fits perfectly though.
I've just bought a cheap silicone case, and another zagg to put under it - so the fluff won't see the sides anymore!!
One word: BRANDO. Have been a great fan of Zagg for a long time; did try Brando once: will never go back! Incredibly clear, smooth as glass, they don't get sticky, not even after months, and they don't get any scratch on them. Simply awesome!
Brando Ultra Clear! probably the best screen protector out there..i have mine for 7+ months and only have some minor scratches.
Martin Fields is really good as well, but gets scratched quicker than brando.
I'm using Martin Fields for about 4 months and yea it does has a few scratches, but not noticeable.
However, the Brando maybe better and is cheaper.

I've had really hard luck with those: first of all i was pissed about the fact that they don't cover the entire screen surface...but the major flaw came in a few days: i started to notice a 1 inch violet/blue halo in the middle of the screen. At first i thought it was something greasy ended there when i applied it, so soon after i removed the protector and tried to clean it, and guess what? It wasn't dirt, it was just the screen protector "fading"! I still have to ask a refound, but i'm just too lazy i guess...in the while i'm using a universal film, but my brando ultra clear is already on its way
I use cheap ones from ebay, great fit, easy to apply and you get 6 in a pack for £1.20, was £1.12 last week when I bought some packs.

That's unlucky. I've not had any problems as such. In fact I don't even realise it's on most of the time. The selling point for me was the camera lens protector
Mine one has left about 1mm from the bottom, and a very very minimal gap (0.25-0.50 mm) around the other edges.
Better luck with brando (it does sound like an excellent product).

Have something that is quite the opposite to what you wrote. It's Martin fields screen protector.
It's stiff, thin, no adhesive, you can wash it in warm water (both sides), easy to apply and if you fail you can re apply it again and again and again

I, like many others i`m sure, is looking for a good quality shell for a Omnia 7. Can`t find anything as yet.
If you do see a good shell, please post a link here.
Thank you!!
I bought this one from eBay which has arrived today:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAMSUNG-I8700..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item43a3706915
It's ok, thought I would recommend getting the black one rather than the smoked one I have. The only issue I have is that the sleep, camera and volume buttons are a bit difficult to press with the case one. I think it may soften or loosen up with a bit of use so I'll keep it on for now and see how it goes.
DC
Yup they soften up
i was the same. But few days now and they are nice and easy to press.
I did give them a bit of a warming up by clicking them a fair few times, but does work to loosen the silicone up.
I got the black one as you can see by this post/pics

I'm struggling with screen protectors though. I ordered some cheapy ones from a German seller but, with the greatest of respect, they're utter dogsh1t. Far too thin, scratched by a piece of card I was using to push bubbles out.
I really want to find a nice anti-glare protector if I can, otherwise I'll be going the Martin Fields route.

Sounds like you got the same ones as me, That's my 4th film heh... I know why they put 6 in there now but for £4........ or a scratched phone ?
Ether way mine is more protected than my other parts of me have ever been
btw i found it's less pressure with the card, and more laying it down and just ever so slowly backing it up and using the card to make sure the bubble you saw don't re-lay where it was.
I'm no expert but 1st go was a joke.... so many bubbles i laughed hard...
2nd better but no dice,
3rd was brilliant apart from a few bits, and my mind just made me take it off and start again
4th was perfect give or take 1 - 3 bubbles i can live with until i try again
You want to hear how my mate managed with an ipad XD
I am having trouble finding screen protectors as well. I think I ordered the same thing as you guys (bedifol ultraclear) from protectionfilms24 but when I went to their site, it seems it's pretty much their lowest range and looking at the reviews for the various cuts they offer for other phones, I am just wondering if it's worth not having a screen protector at all.
Please let me know if you have managed to found one that is good.
Cheers.
Low range - high range.... It was ALL that was out when i got the phone/wanted protection
It does what it says.
It protects the screen XD
0.05mm thick - Same as the "one" for £8 which i bought as with the £3 one to test all of them, Recently bought the martin fields and imo... it tints it for me.... i like the clear/glazed protectors which look like the glass it should be.
So 6 for £4 is win win
I got a screen protector from here http://www.devdef.com/products/for-samsung-omnia-7 (actually I got two), but I found that they're pretty good and by far the easiest to install of any screen protector I've ever used. To apply it, you need to moisten it (instructions are on the site), and then you can slide it over the surface of the phone, before it dries, until you get the perfect positioning. Bubbles are also easy to remove because of this - you just have to do it before it sets. The only drawback, really, is that it's pretty reflective. I don't notice very much in use, but it reflects bright lights quite a lot, so if you're looking for anti-reflective coating, I'd give this a miss. Also on a plus - it's pretty strong as you can see from the video on the site. Also, as the instructions say, it improves the longer it's on your device. Initially it looks a bit poor, but stick with it (no pun intended )
Yos, I'll look at those....remember to wish someone Happy Birthday today!!!!

What's best to mix the water solution with to apply that screen protector? I tried a mix of fairy washing up liquid and water but without good results. :s

I got mine few weeks already from amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/GEL-CASE-SA...W8MW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1292094897&sr=8-3
Very nice indeed. And I am using savvy screen protector, little rubbery in touch but not bad at all
Yeah, I used fairy liquid and water, and you only need a tiny amount of fairy liquid - it's concentrated, you know ;-), and you also only need very little of the solution on the screen protector. Also, as I mentioned it looks pants to start off with, and it takes a while to dry, but eventually it looks fine. If you like a shiny screen protector.
I bought both of them on eBay. Very fine !

I am looking for a case which is similar to my incipio feather for iphone 4 and as far as I can see they don't exist and I detest gel cases with a passion so will continue to wait.
Very slippery phone to hold too!
Seen the perfect one but not in stock for weeks (judging by the galaxy s model).

As promised the pics of the CM barely there case.
edit: It also came with a free screen protector & a piece of cleaning cloth which I haven't used yet. Waiting for my current screen protector to be bit more scratched up (martin fields). Shouldn't take long.
That case looks really good just a pity I had to send my Omnia 7 away for repair!
What bothers me with these case is that I won't feel the cold metallic, sturdy cover finish in my hand anymore Is there any possibility to have a bumper instead?
Of course we need one of these threads.
I'm going to go buy a full body BodyGuardz this weekend and i'll report back with pictures, and a review. I've had a lot of bodyguardz for various phones, and they cover the best. They have the orange peel and sticky feel on the screen, but not nearly as bad as i've seen on Zagg. I've never once been satisfied with zagg.
I've tried Stealth Guards on my iphone and desire Z, and the screen protector is a good texture, feels smooth, no resistance. But they don't cover enough of the body.
Never owned BSE
I've had a Skinomi, and they have the same texture as the Stealth guards, but they seem to be very vulnerable to peeling. Also not enough body cover. (might as well buy the stealth guards, they're cheaper)
Anyone got any yet?
I just Installed Skinomi full body. I've had no issues so far and I like the results. I followed the direction to the T, but added the extra step of applying the protectors in a steam up bathroom. Helps minimize dust, and the stream aids in installation).

do you mind posting some pictures?
After work I will post some pictures, I have the product pictures on me right now. Another thing is the product states that once applied to at least allow 12-24? hours to use. I am using it less than that, probably a bad move on my part. So far no problems, we'll see by the end of today.

Skinomi full body.
thanks for the pics! the screen protector looks awesome. the full body could be a bit larger. the back looks funny haha. but i really like that screen protector, i've always liked skinomis compared to other brands.
Thanks. Ya I could do it again but pull'em tighter. But I am very satisfied. I was surprised by how the body peices held up, I figured they would peel off in my pocket, but no problems. The only con's I can think of is there are some thin exposed parts of the phone, imprint of object or finger nail leaves dimples but fade smoothly; slowly. If applied correctly it will last.

I'm going to go get my bodyguardz now. Ill post up pics when I get it on
the bodyguardz kioske in the mall didn't have them in stock yet -_-. gotta order them online.. damnit
i got a invisible shield from best buy because i was impatient and didn't want to wait for shipping. they don't have the full body, so i got the screen protector.
i just finishd putting it on, the texture is different than previous zaggs i've used. also there are a bunch of horizontal lines evenly spaced (they were there before i put it on, not scratches) which you can see at certain angles. and they also have a little zagg logo on the bottom right of the screen protector.. that's new.. and annoying. it's hard to see, but since i know it's there. i don't like it -_-
i'll take some pictures when i can, but overall it's the same resistant non smooth that i dislike about zaggs.

Promised to do a review on this screen protector, so paulo this one's for you. Haha. Well I've had this screen protector on for about 4 weeks now, and I absolutely love it. I would definitely recommend it, especially for those on a budget. A $5.95 well spent.
Pros:
Dry application
Precise cut outs
Great touch responsiveness (Swyping with this bad boy is a breeze.)
No fingerprints
No smudges
Better visibility in sunlight
Looks sexy lol
Cons:
Took me 2 out of the 3 protectors to get it on right, or without bubbles. Maybe I'm just not good at that.
Screen quality degradation (This is expected with a anti-glare/matte screen protector. There is some pixelation, which is really noticeable on white backgrounds.)
You can but it HERE.
Pictures that took me forever.

Thanks for the review. I already ordered mine and just wanted to check out some more images of it. Out of curiosity, what case are you using? Also is there a notice gap between the protector and the lip of the case? The first few images make it seem like it, but the rest make the gap appear small.

I'm guessing you are taking about the difference between this picture of the screen protector:
vs
Well there are two reasons.
1. I didn't apply the screen protector perfectly. You can also see the little bubbles created by dust left on the screen. So I took it off, and tried again.
2. Two different cases. I doubt this affects it, however, considering I switch the cases out per week and the gap between the screen protector and the case doesn't increase or shrink.
I have two cases. The white one the Mercury TPU Nexus 4 case(comes in many different colors), and the black one is the Acase Superleggera Pro Hybrid dual layer Nexus 4 case(also comes in different assortments).
I'm also using this screen protector and I love it too,great price ya can't go wrong with these. ????

I bought this screen protector 3 months ago but never used it, as it looks like a hassle to apply if it takes going through most of them to get one that is applied properly. I just kept the stock plastic protector on mine; maybe after that gets destroyed I will give it a try.

its pretty simple just be quick, and i would day do it in the restroom, less dust in the air. always works for me.
I've installed countless screen protectors for me and friends. For the wet ones, you definitely want to be in a steamy bathroom as that helps settle the dusts. The dry ones, need to be done quickly. You can slip a small piece of tape between the screen and the screen protector to grab some of the dust. The stickiness of the tape beats the static force created by the protector. Not sure of its technical name.
My silliest method was to put the phone in the middle, on top of a fan blowing air upwards. That way it created a space where dust will not be. It worked perfectly.

I mean, I guess there is. But to notice the bubbling you would have to nitpicking or looking in with a magnifying glass (not really). I'd say the bubbling on the side is about .25 cm from the edge. Really slight, and with my case on you can't notice it.

Acase Superleggera Pro Dual Layer Case
purchased from eBay: $12.99 | took about 2 weeks to arrive from China
i was excited to install this screen protector, but that excitement quickly soured into disappointment.
the packaging was nice. the outer package was made of very think and stiff paper. the sp itself was in its out paper bag. all the other stuff was in another sealed paper bag.
as you can see from the pics, there appears to be a concave spot in the upper right that just would not stick, no matter what i tried. it was not an air bubble. i squeeze all the air from the center out, but that area never adhered. also, none of the edges adhered either. it appears that the screen protector is warped.
i did buy one of the first ones that showed up on ebay, so it may be from an early bad batch. i contacted the seller about this issue and i'll update when they reply.
needless to say, i do NOT recommend this sp.
Nillkin makes an identical-looking glass screen protector. has anyone tried theirs?
Update 1 (4/27): the seller said they're sending me a replacement today. i'll update in about 2 weeks.
also, the giant anomaly/air bubble in the upper right corner seems to have disappeared overnight. unfortunately, the bottom right edge of the screen seems to have lifted up more (new pic below). with the screen on, it's actually not that bad. it appears as a slight haze at the corners. still, i'm not happy with the SP. hopefully the replacement won't have this problem.

Update 1 (4/27):
Update 2 (5/17):
I got the replacement this week. Unfortunately, it's more of the same. The SP just doesn't want to stick to the sides. Oh well ... At least with the screen on, you can barely tell. I guess I'm used to it by now. I still wouldn't recommend this SP.

yes. it was exactly like every other half a dozen screen protectors i've installed over the past few years.
they're all the same. clean the screen. peel protective plastic off screen protector. align with phone. stick to phone.
have you never installed a screen protector before?

aside from the "air bubble" how are the edges? does it fully stick to the S6 screen edges since they curve? it looks great other than the bubbles and also i'm certain Nilkin uses the same product just branded for them
Unless if I'm looking at it incorrectly, it seems that the home button is not a perfect fit on there..... Or is that just the angle?

no, at least not all the way around. look at the new pic i uploaded. notice at the corners where there are light spots (circled in red or blue). that's where the SP doesn't adhere to the screen.
i checked before installation and there was adhesive even in the colored parts of the SP. this wasn't the case in their versions for the iPhone, which eventually led to dirt getting under the sides and the SP lifting.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the cutout is precise and slightly bigger than the home button. but since the SP is thicker, the home button is now slightly recessed (refer to the new pic). it's a little different feeling at first, but you quickly get used to it. it also doesn't affect the fingerprint scanning function.
Updated
Just installed this screen protector. Pretty pleased with the results. It stuck right up to the edges.
My Spigen case caused a bit of a problem though. It lifted up the edges of protector and caused halo effect. Resolved the problem by sanding down the inside edge of the case by a fraction of a millimeter.
Is this oeleophobic? I got a decent protector without this coating and I hate it.

I'm not sure. I got it off ebay and the product info given by the seller said it is. However I couldn't see anything on the product itself when it arrived to confirm this. I've never found that oeleophobic screens work very well anyway.
Hey
Very nice reviews, I will try it nevertheless and let you know

Just installed this screen protector. Pretty pleased with the results. It stuck right up to the edges.
My Spigen case caused a bit of a problem though. It lifted up the edges of protector and caused halo effect. Resolved the problem by sanding down the inside edge of the case by a fraction of a millimeter.

Which one is that?
It's the Capsule Ultra Rugged
I have the one from Nillkin, but I didn't buy it from ebay, I got it from a local retailer. I have no problems with it.
And yes, it looks the same as the one reviewed here. But maybe at the time the OP of this thread bought these protectors they were like just introduced, maybe in the begining all of them had this problem. After all, after some months, the accesories are very diversified and you can choose a fair amount of brands.

I mean which tempered glass do you use?
It's the Benks 9H Full Cover Curved Tempered Glass Screen Protector. Got it off eBay
Okay, I have had this on for about a week now, and I have never been this happy with a screen protector before. I have around ten different android devices in the the house at the moment and most have glass protectors on them. I also am coming from a note 4 with the rounded edges/halo nightmare, I know what a pain they can be as well.
First, the coating on it is top notch, slick and smooth. The rounded edges roll right onto the stainless rails and make the phone feel like it was meant to have a 2d screen.
It DOES cover the front cams which some day will diminish quality. I didn't notice a change, nor do I take QUALITY photos with the front cam.
There is no sharp edges and it isn't catching on clothes or even finger swipes. The fit on mine is perfect.
The wings they provide really do aid in the install. I lined up one side and laid her down smooth.
Two thumbs up from this guy.

Just ordered mine yesterday and it should be here tomorrow. Spigen always makes great stuff no doubt!
Thanks, I found it.

I was thinking of getting the GLAS.tR SLIM and the Slim Armor case. Some, and only some, of the reviews on Amazon have said that there was chipping and scratches on the GLAS.tR SLIM after a week. Did you get it from Amazon or Spigen? And what have your results been so far? Thanks.
I was a little on the fence about getting one, but I'd taken a look at some of the reviews on it, and with it being on sale at Amazon for only $10, I decided to give it a go.
I have to agree with OP across the board. Seems very good so far

Got mine from Amazon, looks as good as the day I put it on. I am careful though.
What some folks don't understand is that you can can take a screw driver to these screens and protectors and not get a scratch. But all it takes is one tiny grain of sand and it's ruined.
Wish we all could stop blaming the glass.
Mine is placed perfect, I have no snags or chips. Uag case helps with that too.

Mine had easy clean layer fading problem even the second day after installation.
Probably Spigen needs to have better QC.
So a little follow up. I have SOMEHOW taken a chip put of the side edge of this screen protector. I can honestly tell you that it had to have happened very easily. I'm pretty easy on my devices, so this had to have happened without much effort. I don't see any marks on the device anywhere at all. It hasn't spidered, so I'll keep it on for the time being
Edit.....
I won't be buying another one, even at $10
I've used Spigen Glas.Tr Nano/Slim way back when they were $34.99 and never had a problem with Spigen glass until the $9.99 V10 one. I got a small crack in mine after being on the phone for 2 days.
I just installed the IntelliArmor Glass HD and I like it a little better then the Spigen. It's a hair shorter on all sides then the spigen but the oleophobic coating is way better.
The only downside is it does not have the "Tabs" like the Spigen for install. Also, it's down the $8.99 on Amazon.
