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!

you meant martin fields? it's one of the best outhere

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.
Regards,
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!
See this XDA Thread for other peoples opinions.

btw got a martin fields was great then noticed today its gone ordering again this time wont skip the hairdryer step!

What you mean for hairdryer step?

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...

[Q] Omnia 7 Shell Case

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 !

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?

Desire HD OTTERBOX DEFENDER

will the desire hd otterbox defender work on the inspire?
Sent from my Inspire 4g using XDA App

Well...
Well I emailed the otterbox site and they replied saying the the defender case would not fit the Inspire, but that they are making one for it.
I've also seen a forum post or two that say it does fit though...
So I guess its really your call. If I were you I don't think it'd hurt to wait little while, just to be safe.

Only Commuter series so far
I had wondered the same thing but from what I found on the Otterbox site was that they only offer a Commuter series case for the Inspire so far. I hope that helps a little.

I read on otterbox's facebook (I think) that the desire HD defender case partially covers a microphone on the back of the inspire. People say it fits, but I haven't read any other comments about it covering the microphone. I also wonder how much (if any) the screen protector of the DHD defender affects the sensitivity of the touchscreen.

It doesn't affect the screen at all! I love this case! I even have a screen protector underneath it and cant tell anything is there. I have the Desire HD btw

I just ordered the HTC Desire HD Defender for my Inspire. I have always ran the defender series cases. I love them.....Hopefully the Desire HD kit fits as well as people say.
What are the "functionality" issues they are saying is different between the two cases.
I know there is a small size difference but the Q&A threads list the functionality differences as being the reason it wont work.
Any ideas?

I have not noticed any function issues with the Desire HD case.

I'm running the defender as well and I've heard stories about how running a protector under the defender's screen shield hinders the functionality and also causes the water mark effect, how common is this? There are times that I just don't need the amount of protection the Defender offers so I want to be able to switch cases at will without leaving the screen exposed. I have a couple of screen protectors from Clear Coat which are thinner than some of the other protectors and I'm hoping that it won't cause any problems. What screen protector are you using, and is it one of the more thicker ones or thinner ones?
thanks

I got mine in today, looks great !
I was especially pleased to see it doesn't have the cutouts on the display cover like some I've seen. It's a solid piece.

nice pictures .. does it have a built in screen protector?
with the otterbox screens you either have to use an anti-glare protector under it .. or some baby powder to keep it from getting the water bubble affect...
how well does the rubber peice stay on the casing? is it better then on the iphone 4?

Yes, it has the built in protector. I don't have any water bubble affect (yet ?)
Rubber piece slides into a groove all the way around the perimeter of the front so I don't expect it to come off unless I want it to. It hasn't yet.

Okay thanks good to know fixing to order mine
sent from my CM7 HTC inspire

Got my Desire HD case in today, and installed. I dont see why they say it has functionality issues. It fits perfectly.

How is the fit of the hard plastic? I just ordered the desire hd version for my inspire. I didn't want the hard plastic to be too tight though. Like I had to force it to snap shut. Does it seem to fit properly?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I have read a on otterbox's facebook a few times where they talk about the desire HD defender covering up a microphone or headphone jack or something on the inspire. Can anyone confirm that absolutely no holes (speakers, tiny mic holes, headphone jack, flash, etc.) anywhere on the inspire are in anyway covered by the defender case?

I just ordered mine. If there is anything to modify, I'm sure it can be easily done with a dremel.

Nothing covered up on mine. I checked both mic holes, flash, camera, everything.
All good.

Just got my Otterbox
Like others I ordered the Desire HD case and picked it up for 29 bucks off of Amazon. (make sure it is the HD case and not the standard desire)
The case fits perfect and WOW what a case. My phone should now be safe from anything that I can dish out.
There are no holes or ports blocked in any way by this case. All the buttons work as well as the touch screen being just as responsive. The screen cover also does not show fingerprints so that is a nice surprise.
I also have no watermark effects from the screen protector as this was reportedly fixed by Otterbox with the newest screen cover material.
This makes the phone much more bulky, but It feels much better to me that way and now no fear of dropping it.
A++++ all the way on this one!

I think the issue is with the holster on the case. It covers the headset jack.

Anker High Definition (HD) Screen Protector w/ pictures and video

This is my personal and unbiased review of the Anker High Definition (HD) Screen Protector. I recently got the opportunity from Anker to review the Anker's newest screen protector for the Galaxy Note 4. I will explain the installation process and my initial thoughts. I have not had more than a few hours to review the protector yet... so this will only be my inital review. I will update my review in about a week.
First off, installation was a little more cumbersome than I thought it would be but it felt like it was the luck of the draw or requires a steady hand. I've installed many screen protectors before, including bodyguardz film protectors and LUVVITT's tempered glass.
The package cames with 3 protectors, cleaning cloth, a bubble remover, and something I've not seen before, what is essentially a lint remover. I thought it was cool.
First I cleaned it with the cloth:
Then I used the lint remover, very helpful for removing pieces of lint that the cloth won"t get:

It took a few times for me to get it on the way I wanted it....
See the video:

After I got the protector the way I wanted it on the screen, I used the little card to remove the bubbles and I removed the final film off of the screen protector using the little tab they equipped:

But there was a slight problem.... when I pulled off the final film, it pulled off the actual screen protector as well. I couldn't tell at first so in the video you see me checking out the screen until I realized it wasn't on.
Luckily there was 2 more and I tried the whole process again. This time it went on the way I liked it on the very first try. Unfortunately, I did not record it this time but here is the final product:

THE INITIAL VERDICT:
I think the screen protector is good for the price. You get a lot for how much it costs. One major thing that I do not like about the protector is that it slows your finger down a little. It feels almost sticky and gives some resistance when you are sliding you finger SLOWLY across the screen. You feel this resistance less the faster you move your finger but I don't think of it after a while. I'm hoping this is only because its a new protector and needs some time to go away.
I do like that I don't feel like I lose any screen sensitivity. All touches are precise and just as sensitive as if I didn't have it on.
The protector seems like it's made more to protect against scratches rather than to protect the screen from cracking against any kind of forceful impact.
I will do a updated an updated review in about 1 week.
OVERALL I give this product 4 out of 5 stars. After one week of use I noticed a slight scratch on the screen protector and can see that it's not very good at repelling fingerprints but this is probably the best of it's kind for the price. It doesn't hinder the look of the phone and I feel like my phone is protected from normal wear and tear and that is what this screen protector is made to do.

I was going to post my review... but decided i would just add my experience here....
I have tried 6 different screen protectors for my new Galaxy Note 4!!! NONE of them worked well. I really like the tempered glass variety of screen protectors, but none fit the phone correctly due to the curved diameter at the edge of the screen. These created a "halo" effect around the whole circumference of the screen. It looked terrible, and just attracted dust and lint.
So, when I saw that Anker (a brand I have always trusted) was offering a screen protector (and a 3 pack no less), I figured, whats it hurt to try one more time.
So in fairness... the first set then sent me was terrible! It was bubbling with micro spots of lint/dust. I went through all 3 in the pack unsuccessfully. I did contact Anker customer support, and they answered within minutes, and told me they had contacted their product engineers, and they were sending me "new" replacements.
I received those with two days. The very first one I installed on my screen installed perfectly!! The protector covers the "visible" part of the phones display. Some of the surrounding bezel is not covered where the screens starts to curve). So the protector lays nicely. Also, being a little smaller, my phone case does not rub against the screen protector.
This protector is clear. It transmits light from the display nicely, and does a decent job of resisting finger prints. So far no scratches, so it seems fairly tough to everyday use.
I would have still preferred a tempered glass protector, but due to all the issues, this Anker HD Screen Protector more than fits the bill!
The package ships with everything you need to install a screen protector: micro fiber cloth (and it's big...so I can use on my eyeglasses), bubble remover, link/dust removing tape, and full instructions.
5 Stars for quality, customer support, and super fast shipping!

Glad the reviews are positive. Mine are already on their way from amazon. Can't wait because my phones been totally naked since Wednesday!

whats the price on these? they look just like every other protector out there...including the tech armor ones I got for 99 cents each per 3 pack when they were on sale.
and OP, you should totally do the method where you only pull back the top portion of the protector, lay that flat, then gradually peel the rest back so that you don't risk getting dust on it every single time you lift it up off the phone and place it back down. i used to do it the way you did it; taking the first film off completely and placing it down..but honestly, the peel back method is MUCH better, and so is the hinge method. give em a try.

Got these yesterday... Exactly what I expected. Super easy to install. No bubbles, no imperfections on the first try. They are SUPER narrow. Barely covering the entire actual screen. I wish it covered the camera tho

I have had my Anker protector on for the last week, and no scratches yet. The edges are on tight. No bubbles, no lifted edges.
Here is the link to the product. They are $6 bucks for 3 ($2 each). Well worth it.

Here are a few pictures of the screen protector on my phone....

Thanks for the review.
What is the difference between the "Clear" and "Matte" versions?
The Matte version sounds like it will be less reflective compared to the Clear.
But, apart for that
