Someone can suggest a good plastic screen protector ?
better if it's gloss ;-)
There are many cheap ones you can get off ebay, etc.
Don't waste your time with them.
Spend the extra cash and get a Martin Fields.
Google them
I've heard great things about the Martin Fields as well as the Brando and Vikuiti screen protectors. All are well made and will fit perfectly to the screen.
im using cheap ones from ebay working fine for me
Might has well post this question here.
Can you get a screen protector, that stop's the sun or daylight reflection on screen?
Ordered a Brando Anti Glare protector Watched some video's on youtube and it look very good cost £8

I had my silver htc desire since last summer, and yesterday i removed it because i wanna change house casing and put on a new. My shield had pretty much scratches after almoust a years use.
But to my supprise when i removed it, my display is like new. Not the smallest scratch on it.
Love my Vikuiti since April 2010.
I had a zagg invisible shield for around 6 months - bought and installed it with my Desire. Never used the phone without it.
I got fed up with the lumpy look it gave the screen and the feel of it.
Removed it last week and fitted the screen protector that came free with a Casemate case. Its excellent. My Desire feels like a new phone and I get why Swype works now for some people.
Long story short, don't buy a Zagg invisible shield if you want your screen to look good.

Hi Guys. I just want to share my experience with ZAGG. I just got it and I installed it myself it was really difficult specially this my first ZAGG. And this some pic for any one want to get ZAGG.
Thankyou for sharing your pics, it looks great.

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:

Awsome Shiled ..any idea how much is it ?
The hardest part I couldn't do it and I throw it away the piece in top for the camera It was very tiny and it gave me a big headache. But I am happy with that. I got the maximum. It's almost 7 pieces.

It's 22$ including the shipping. By Pound it will be almost 150 Pounds I think
I ordered a max cover as well. Just waiting for it to get to me.

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.

+1 realook ftw
lucky one..
here in my country...its is not yet available for sensation..though i have it for my Desire HD....
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!
just ordered my desire s (finally after a 2 month wait!)
looking for any reccomendations for screen protectors?
prefably want a hard wearing long lasting one.
anyone use the official htc ones? any good?
or should i settle for the full body coverage invisible shield? (used them in the past)
cheers!
i use the one included on otterbox, its actually very good, still has not a single scratch since i bought it 2 months ago
Same goes for the protectors included with Case-Mate cases. They feel as smooth as the glass they protect which I think is important. The cheap ones just add friction, and are a pig to apply without fluff bubbles!
Case-mate ones can also be bought separately with out a case.

I don't use screen protectors at all. Desire-S has Gorilla glass on top of the screen.

That is a good point. Is gorilla glass good enough to not require a screen protector?

I tried the official htc ones and they both ended up in the bin! For some reason the type of film they use is different, as the act of peeling the backing off super-charges the thing up with static. Every dust particle in the room rushes to stick to it. Had no such problems with the several case mate ones I've applied.

I think i shall settle for a imnisible shield full protector, as i like to use my phone bare without any casing
(occasionally using a case)
Just waiting for the phone to arrive tommorow morning!!!
I bought the original HTC on ebay , very cheap about 5€ , in the shop they are 10€ !
This is a thick film , very scratch resistant !!! easy to apply , no air bubbles whatsoever, very clear film and me very happy.
Not using a film is looking for trouble, okay, it's gorilla glass , but i hear of people who managed to scratch this to, so spend a little money and keep the screen scratchfree !!

i dunno if i want to shell out on the 16 quid invisible shield just yet..
brando ultra clear.
it will probably last longer than your phone.
You can buy it quite cheap from a company called wexim, in France (google it)
I have been using it for years now, on all my PDAs and phones. They are reallt great.

I have the invisible shield on my HTC Desire (Looking to get the Desire S in the next month or so), the invisible shield is good, but I have been sort of disappointed by it.
I had another phone in my pocket one night (Nokia 6300) and the camera part must have pressed against the screen and has left a permanent indentation on the invisible shield screen protector. It is a good protector, but also it is the most tedious protector I have ever applied, you really do have to "stretch" the protector when applying to get it to sit nicely.
Its your choice, but I would really think about it for a little while longer before you put your money down on an invisible shield protector.
As far as what I've read though, I've got a feeling my protection plan when it comes to the Desire S will involve a Case-Mate barely there case ... when they're in stock again from Australian suppliers.

Yeh, i have used the universal invisible shiel on my tg01 before (i custom cut it for the screen)
Had it on since september, has lasted very well, no peelings anywhere, but it has scratches on it
So i guess they aren't really 'indestructable, scratch proof' as claimed on their website!
But they still hold out very well compared to other standard screen protectors.
When you had it on your desire, was it still possible to use a case aswell? Did it add much thickness?
I wouldnt mind if there was another type of protector, mainly, i want to protect the back of the desire (aluminium casing etc) from scrathes.
The only manufacturer that offers a thin/screen protector is invible shield.
Are there any other manufacturers that make films/screen guards for the back of the desire s??
Thanks for your contribution!
Hey guys just bought my Triumph and waiting for it to come in the mail. I was wondering what the best screen protector would be for this phone. I'm considering the Rocketfish at best buy so I think I'm set on the case. I remember my friend had an iphone protector and it was a glossy look and feel rather than they smooth one. I really liked the feel of that one because my fingers never stuck to the screen. Well all opinions would be great thanks guys.

With reading that discussion, do you think the full protection is good enough to replace a case for the phone or would you recommend the Zagg screen protector with the Rocketfish case?

Personally I hate cases.I have seen the full body ZAGG on one phone and that was like 2+ years ago on i believe a voyager... I didn't think it was bad and If I would get a "case" for my phone that's what I would get. My girlfriend has the MT and she got her case at bestbuy for like 15 or 20 bucks. It's not a bad little case and it doesn't bother me when I use her phone. She also had a ZAGG on it which is the only screen protector I've ever used. But I messed up putting it on her phone and she took it off and threw it away. The ZAGG was only like 12 or so from bestbuy.
Here is the case that I bought. I love it. The silicone keeps it from slide no matter where I seem to place it.
Silicone Case
and then I got this screen protector.
Skinomi
I have used the Skinomi skins on many different products and I love them. The whole self healing thing is pretty amazing and works great.
ZAGG is the way to go for sure. I've tried a lot of cheaper ones and all of them messed with how the display looked or felt while using the touch screen. It's worth the money.
You know that Triumph comes with built in screen protector, don't you? Mine does not show any signs of wear after more then a month of active use and little regard to how my phone is handled.
Just saying...

Thats exactly what I was going to ask. I read that someone removed that factory screen protector and put a new one on because the response was delayed with the factory one and a new one. Anyone else deal with this?
You could always get a Best Skins Ever. It's exactly the same material as the Zagg shields, and it's much cheaper. I've tried both, and they're both fantastic.

I just started using this phone, with no additional screen protector since it comes with one over the gorilla glass.
If I do get one I would look into Skinomi. I use it for my gtablet and it works great, I have had it on since the beginning of the year and traveling around with no problems so far.
I personally use ArmorSuit, much better response than stock with the same material as Zagg at half the cost.
The best screen protector I've had is no screen protector.
I dropped my phone and scratched the factory second film. After that, I've been naked

My best screen protector has been (for me) the cheapest one! You can find them dirt cheap (a dollar or two) if you search around. But if you constantly drop your phone, I would get a higher-end one, like Zagg or something.
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.
