Hi, have any one try a Matt Screen Protector on DHD? I'm interested in the Matt one but afraid that the color would be distorted/dimmed too much... Any suggestion? Thanks!
I installed the Martin Fields protector, and the picture is like before the install, no blurryness or anything. Crisp and clear.
I can highly recommend it, and no worries about any airbubbles with MartinFields

has your DHD got a matte screen?
I got a matte one from a Japanese company (Sanwa). It very slightly reduces crispness but feels smooth as silk even when my finger is a bit tacky.
actually the matte or anti fingerprint really diminishes the screens colors and brightness. it will do injustice to your phone but no more wiping due to greasy fingers.
So does anyone know any good matt screen protectors?
Gotta comment again about my MartinFields, u get bubbles if u have some crap between screen and the protector it took me about 20min to install it perfecly, always some crap on the screen and had to use scotchtape to remove them or just not inline with the screen. But i got and worth the time the protector has a rly good feel to it, and even with sticky fingers no problem at all, fingers glides rly good. Almost as no protector at all fingerprints show only when screen is off. Recommended.

Firstly:
I have used a matte protector, it really messes with the colors, whites end up "rainbowed" etc. It feels much nicer though, so weigh up what is most important to you. Personally i dont use a matte one any more.
Secondly, i think these martin fields screen protectors are a complete rip off. I have tried many brands, and frankly you can pick up a pack of 10 on ebay for a few pounds, they fit well and if you install them correctly they are invisible.
I dont see how the Martin Fields protectors are superior, the ebay cheapies do NOT dim the screen.

I had a matt 'anti-glare' protector from Brando but have replaced it with a cheap one that came free with a charger.
Why? Because..
a) it reduced the visibility of the screen in any light and washed out the colours and diminished sharpness of the screen,
b) the anti-glare didn't get rid of all the glare so it was still hard to read in bright light, and
c) when I tried to remove it to put on a replacement DHD I found that it was impossible to clean properly, and I couldn't remove all of the bubbles, and it also creased very easily.
Once creased it couldn't be straightened, so I threw it away.

I've just gone back to a glossy screen protector due to the rainbow effect and reduced sharpness of the matte screen protector.

the best way to instal screen protectors / body shields is in a steamy enviroment, i always have a shower then clean the screen and instal, never have any dust etc get under the screens this way.. The steam pull all the dust out of the air!!.
My screen with zagg looks like diamond

if you are worried about sticky fingers try rubbing some wd40 oil onto a glossy screen protector, works a trick as wd40 is oleophobic
I ripped my martin fields one somehow, its been on for about 3 weeks and it has a cut in it D:
Wonder if they will replace it :O
used matt and clear. Using clear one now. Crisp & clear is more important than anti fingerprint & anti glare.

I went daft and got a mirror protector problem it not so clear and it makes the screen go funny colours

I would like to get a matte protector, because the glare from the sun gets annoying when i have my screen on lowest brightness (which is most the time) though I don't want to loose crispness. So still not sure which one i'd go for

wow does this really work? would it stay on the screen and not come off your fingers? got some wd40 at home might just give it a shot.

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.

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.

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.
http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/M04-Pro-Scru...tDomain_216?hash=item255892922d#ht_4638wt_939
I haven't tried it but looks promising and cheap. You can ask the seller if you have any queries.
First off, my intention for getting a screen protector was to never actually protect the screen, but to reduce finger prints as I have quite oily fingers.
First I tried the Ultimate Screen Protector from Seido.
PRO: Looks like there's no protector on the screen, amazing clarity.
CON: Did NOT help with the finger prints at all. No help in how easily they got ON the screen, or how difficult they are to clean once on.
Then I sent my phone into HTC for repair and they screwed up the screen protector, so I had to take it off.
Now I have on DCMugen's Matte screen protector.
PRO: No fingerprints! For someone with oily fingers this was great.
CON: HUGE reduction in screen quality/clarity. Makes the screen very grainy and small text harder to read.
So now I'm torn, because it seems the clear screen protector doesn't help with fingerprints at all, so I'm constantly wiping it off, but the matte screen protector completely ruins this beautiful screen. I wish there was an intermediate, something which did not reduce fingerprints perhaps as much as the matte screen protector, but closer in clarity to the ultra clear.
thanks for that - i have teh dcmugen clear on my phone right now and its just as bad as the screen without a protector. I have the matte sitting here ready to apply but after reading your post I think i'll hold off - i have enough trouble reading the screen outdoors as it is.
Well, I think the matte one will help with the outdoor visibility very slightly. I mean, overall visibility of the screen. It may be more visible, but the quality of the screen will be much lower.
When you say "its just as bad as the screen without a protector" do you mean in terms of finger prints?
yea finger prints.
the dcmugen matte protecter is amazing outdoors, with that protector and the automatic brightness setting i never have a problem seeing outside, with the clears it was always a pain in the ass, i just put my last dcmugen on the phone, time to order more. Ill never buy my screen protectors from anywhere else
damn I guess I better try out that matte protector after all

zagg screen protector seems to be the best of both.. no fingerprints and clarity retained.
I have never tried those two brands i have always used Best Skins ever and Gadget Shieldz and they work great. Zagg always costs too much and leaves a orange peel effect on all my devices.
OP, Just use the first screen protector from Seido no sense in ruining that beautiful amoled screen with the other brand just to keep finger prints off and just learn to deal with the finger prints it is a touch screen phone.

zagg sucks - the feel of the plastic is too sticky for good swiping imo
Any pics of the matte on the phone?
the difference in clarity honestly isnt that great of a difference, the fingerprints and grease that collects on the regular screen protectors affects the clarity more to be honest. Now that its finally always sunny out ive been using a regular clear protector cause i ran out of dcmugens, and i cant see **** on my screen from the glare, i cant wait till the other dcmugens i ordered get here. only down fall is it takes about two weeks to get them in the us since they ship from hong kong

i'm one of those guys wanting to buy cheapass screenprotectors (dealextreme etc.), and putting on a new one every month.
Last time I looked there were screen protectors on ebay - both cheapies and the far more durable vikuiti scratch resistant ones.
I use Exim Ultra Clear from www.displayschutzfolien.com
i tried the MArtinfeilds screen protector for my Omnia II,
i went through 3 of then as its still prone to fingernail scratches...
Invisible Shield was just a pain in bum trying to get it on, i was so frustrated i threw it in the bin...
The Exim looks interesting is that scratch proof?
They say it is.
But if you really want to be on the safe side, take the ultra protect instead of ultra clear.
ultra clear= clear, brilliant colors the foil is really clear
Ultra protect= even more scratch resistant, less reflective but maybe a bit milky
I have the ultra clear in use for about 2 months now and no scratches at all.
I don't use the stylus, only finger nails.

i wonder if its nessary to get a screen protector for the S, i mean the Glass is very impressive anti scratch glass right?
also you guys notice that this glass seems to be anti stain i mean its always clean when it comes out of my pocket and im constantly touching it too (light touches as the screen is so responsive)
It is a plastic glass compound material.
It gets as dirty as other phones. Look at that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgbloFTOAIo
starting at 2:00 you can see the greasy film reflecting the light.
How easily it could scratch without protector ?

i recommend this protector as ive used it on my Omnia II and its very clear with no discoloration and its not as grippy as Zagg I/S so Swyping is still sweet ...
I have installed martin shields screen protector and it seems to be really good.

Do they require water to apply? I want to avoid screen protectors that need water/mist for application.
I used to have an Iphone and I am looking for a very similar product I had on the screen that was the best I used on a smart phone. I am looking for the same thing for a N1 if possible. The product was made by www.powersupportusa.com and it was called the anti-glare film set with fingerprint/smudge resistance for iphone 3G. Anyone have any idea of what type of screen protector I am referring to? and can maybe give me an idea one just like it for the N1 that isn't so expensive? I'd like to buy one soon for my N1. Thnx for any response
nobody knows?

Not familiar with the one you mentioned but I've been using Zagg's protector for my N1 and it provides decent protection while still allowing me to use the desktop charger.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Hey thnx do you personally use this? Is it good against smudges and fingerprints?
I have the clarivue. I used it back a few months ago, it's great for antiglare and smudges, but it absolutely kills the color and contrast.
With that said, I put another one back last week. The phone is usualbe inthe sun again, and no wiping it down every three seconds. Trying to see on it with polarized sunglasses is a joke though lol.
Also you'll get a 'rainbow" effect, but you'll get used to it.
I've found that dcmugen's anti glare protector just gets better over time. I was pretty disappointed in the beginning, but now all is good. You do get the rainbow effect, but I got to compare mine with a N1 without a screen protector and I was surprised at how small the difference in brightness and color was. So if you try an anti-glare protector, let it stay on for at least a week.
That's my advice anyways
+1, I was so close to remove it, waited then for a few days and now it is awesome. They are very cheap too.
...and nearly no fingerprints with this protector!

Yes, the dcmugen antiglare... It is much more fingerprint resistant than the N1's screen anyway. Used the phone for two weeks without wiping off fingerprints (which as you know is pretty much impossible without a oleophobic screen protector).
Brando ones.
for me,the best.

I recently bought a SGP Ultra Oleophobic screen protector for my Motorola Atrix 4G and I'm very impressed with the clarity and fingerprint resistance of it. I had a look at the SGP store but it doesn't look like they have one for the Touchpad.
Can anyone recommend a similar screen protector for the Touchpad?

I've had good luck with the generic matte/anti-glare screen protectors. They seem to do a good job of reducing fingerprints, while also making the screen nice and slick and less reflective. They do "dull" the screen a little, but I've been putting them on every device in the house lately. I haven't gotten around to doing the TP yet (I bought the $1.50 one from Overstock recently).

I apply a coating of Mass metal polish!
It slicks up the screen, gives an element of print resistance, doesn't attract dust and re-polishes easily.
Once a month is sufficient to keep it working nicely.
If you try this then the first time you use it the screen response will be erratic until you polish it enough. Then its super slick.
+1 on the anti glare screen protectors. Definitely does the trick.
I got one for the original I-pad and cut it to fit my touchpads, love it, cuts the glare from the screen and I hardly ever have to wipe the screen off.
i have a matte protector on and it definitely reduces the amount of fingerprints but the screen quality definitely suffered

+1 here. I hadn't used my Touchpad in a while (until I finally put CM on over the weekend), and my finger just kept getting hung up on the screen while trying to drag. Every other touchscreen device in my house has a generic matte protector on it now, so I'm used to the smoother glide. I have to say, the quality seems like it varies a bit. The ones I put on my Nook Color and my wife's phone look much better than the one I put on my phone. For some reason, that one gave the screen a lot more pixelation and like waves of light/dark. I still have yet to put the Overstock one on the TP.

I've got a matte protector as well, actually it's from overstock.com or buy.com as a anti glare screen protector for $1.50. It's a great buy, it definitely makes the screen a joy to use. The only gripe I have is when I'm in the office and have the TP sitting on the desk, the anti glare screen protector has a glare on it, funny i know. But when it's on the touchstone or at an angle I'm fine. And when I'm in a dimly lit area i don't even notice it. It's a great buy and for $1.50 you can't really go too wrong.

But when it's on the touchstone or at an angle I'm fine. And when I'm in a dimly lit area i don't even notice it. It's a great buy and for $1.50 you can't really go too wrong.

Yeah, they should really be called "glare-reducing" or something
At least the screen isn't like a complete mirror anymore
im usinjg this and I love it. Its the best screen protector ever http://www.amazon.com/Generiks-TouchPad-CLEAR-Screen-Protectors/dp/B0057POM16/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328048435&sr=8-1
I hate the idea of an extra layer of plastic on top of this great display.
Rain-X, people - it works a treat!
Any recommendation for a screen protector?
Mine already got scratched up pretty badly, so may want a better one... =(

I can see how this would make it slide easier, but does it really do that much to prevent finger marks/smugges?
