ZAGG invisibleShield For Desire S

Hey everyone. I got my invisible shield yesterday. Full body coverage. Carphone Warehouse £17.99. Installed it yesterday. Pleased with results.
As you can see in the pictures, there are still water bubbles on the front screen protector, but they are still drying up.
Now I am rest assured my desire s will remain scratch-free!
Sorry for the poor quality, shot on a 3mp tg01 camera.
Any questions, request more pictures, and I will be glad to answer!

hi
i got a screen protector when i bought the device,since i was not able to get the one for the DS at that time i got an smaller one
now i am going to buy a new screen protector & was considering a antiglare type but i heard that they make the screen look bad & the colors diffused,is that true & if it is does it make it look very bad?
i am also considering buying a case do you have any recommendations?

Hi! I always try and avoid cheap screen protectors because they get scratched easily and they make the screen much more reflective. If you want a quality protector I recommend the case mate or official HTC protector. For a case, there are loads avalable like Amazon etc!

I have tried an ebay anti glare screen protector branded "Screen Guard professional". These are the easiest I have tried to apply without bubbles but do give the screen a rather unattractive grainy effect where white areas are viewed. I have gone back and ordered some clear ones from the same range.

Are the water bubbles already completely gone?

Nice, but I don't see a need for a full body. For me a screen protector is enough.

Hi mate, most of the tiny micro bubbles have all gone now I just have a 3 bubbles left now, and they are steadily disappearing! I will post screenshots later to update it
I recommend it greatly if you want to keep your desire s scratch free

Thanks, I was also thinking about getting one, nice to know that the bubbles actually go away. I was a bit wurried that the bubbles would stay or leave small rings.

I've got a casemate can't fault it

Nope , it won't leave any residue when it comes off still recommend it !
Only thing though,when I went in holiday to Florida, the shield started to peel away abit. I'm guessing this is to do with the really hot weather though! Other than that the shield is great !

How??
The screen protector doesn't even cover up the proximity sensor. There is a cut out for it...
It may be a ROM you are using with RC tweaks, they make the sensor less responsive

HTC desire s design.

When holding the desire s. My hands get sweaty especially when holding the bit at the back where the aliminium is . Does anyone experience this or is it just me? This is the only phone were this happens to me lol. I think I've got a reaction to aluminium lol

LOL, Do you have furry palms?
the devices do tend to generate a reasonable amount of heat while being operated so this isn't all together surprising...what country do you live in, whats the normal temperature there?

The UK. Its generally cold here. It's strange as soon as I touch it the tips of my finger gets sweaty

Although either way I'm sure that they both have paint cover over the metal uni-body?

Sure it isn't the fact the Desire S is so desirable, your sweating over its sexiness? ;-)

Lol, I think that you've hit the nail on the head - it sure is a sexy bit of kit

use a case, maybe it helps... I'm living in a all year summer country but don't have any sweat to my phone

I think that the satin black finish on mine seems to accentuate even the slightest fingerprint, but it does look nice!

Never faced the sweat issue although I'm in India. Felt it very slippery when using with one hand. Bought a Casemate barely there case and it is now very nice to hold in one hand.

Htc desire design
I must say I like the looks of this phone very much, but after having dropped it (fortunately on soft surfaces) a couple of times, I decided to sacrifice beauty for safety and got a hard case called "casemate". Believe me it's definetly worth. It is reasonably thin, covers the corners and has a rubbery texture that gives good grip.
on the downside, of course you wan't be seeing the sexy logo on the back anymore...

Doesn't it degrade your wifi and phone signal? I have a casemate
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

I definetly is better than holding the phone by it's metal parts. I've tried, with relative success (maybe it's just my impression) using reverse landscape (capacitive keys to the left), like this I can hold the phone without toucing any metal parts. Check it out and see if it works for you.

Bad Design
When I put desire s in my pocket of my Jeans pant and ride bike. I always see power off. The bad design is battery cover and power button at top

i dont think the case will degrade wifi signal(not sure though) but it will degrade your GPS signal a lot
my device never got slippery & i live in India ,its ultra hot here even in winter

That's pretty ok. In singapore, after playing a gameloft game, my screen and the whole phone gets covered in dried sweat.

I take off the large plastic layer when I can't have it on my belt... stupid school. >.< When I am not in school, then I typically fully mount her up and throw both cases on.

Pics.. and closeup

Great case. I have had mine for almost a year and when I did have a problem with the power button coming loose they sent me a replacement pretty quickly. I have an extra now. (I super glued it)
I give it a 9/10.
