I Have noticed form coming from a iPhone 3GS I noticed even at full brightness I can barley see the screen in the light and i never have it on full brightness to save battery So what im asking is are there any screen Protectors out there that anyone could suggest that would help me to see the screen better on sunny days
Well I've had multiple screen protectors, and none of them have even come close to being as good as the one i got from Vikuiti. I was told that Martin Fields (too grippy) made a high quality screen protector, but I was not impressed and found this one for my HD2 after rave reviews on the HD2 forum.
This screen protector is so good I have taken my old HD2 one and cut it down for the Desire Z until I get my specific Desire Z one. I have re-stuck it a few times, and it looks good as new, I hate it when you can tell the screen protector is on, but you cant with this.
The below link it not to the exact model I had on my HD2 (there is one called ADQC and one called DQC, I have the DQC at present, but might get the ADQC listed below because it suggests its more anti-glare)

I currently use an anti-glare screen protector that came free with my dcmugen case.
It is better than the glossy screen protector I had before. Plus, it doesn't attract fingerprints which sometimes obscures vision.

I will also vouch for the Vikuiti ADQC model. My order was shipped on June third and I received it today- June ninth.
As for the screen protector itself, I am extremely satisfied with it. This protector allows me to view the G2's screen as it is supposed to be seen: as though there is nothing on the screen at all. Side to side is nearly a perfect fit and top to bottom there is maybe a mm of space uncovered below the soft buttons (home, menu ...) At a glance, the only giveaway that there is a screen protector on the phone is the cutout for the light and proximity sensors.
They aren't cheap but I believe they are worth the cost.

What is your opinion of the protector after using it so far?

I just noticed your post. Sorry it's taken me months to reply, although it has given me a MUCH larger sample size to form my opinion from. The screen protector is still great! It is really tough. Admittedly, I baby my phone a bit. That said, I finally got a scratch on the first screen protector (I ordered 3) about 2 Weeks ago. Other than that it is almost exactly as it was the first day I applied it. I've been meaning to apply the second one but don't need to. I would say it is definitely worth the extra cost as in the time I've had this one on I had gone through at least five other brands including the t mobile one & some I got from Amazon.

Possible stupid question
Does using a screen protector degrade the touch screen performance?
I used to have a T-Mobile Vario II and never used a protector and got away with it. The phone went in my pocket and did clash with keys and things occasionally, no detectable damage though.
Do screen protector users let their children out to play? Or are they correct to take care?
Tom
Not at all i notice no difference using a screen protector.
i like the look of this one

However, I hope I can get my hands on Nexus One pouch some day.
Great, I can't order the official ones from play.com because they only deliver this product in the UK. Really, I mean, reallyyyyyy?

Screen protector from Amazon UK (not tried it myself):

I've ordered the Vikuiti ones and they are not good. From what I can see the cut-out is just a simple rectangle, it will not cover the full glass area of the phone but probably only the part that is actually displaying something. I find that utterly useless.
Now I've ordered the ones from BoxWave where they show how they did the cut-out on their website. That's the way it should be done...

There are a few on eBay claiming to be for the Desire but you can clearly see they dont match all the openings, eg, the flash.
Got this one - didn't really like it. Found it too stiff/hard.
If anyone wants to give it a go, I'll mail it for free within EU.
Whoever PMs me first with their address, gets it
EDIT: case was given-away to er_yeah.
i have just got a mofi case for £4.95 it seems fairly universal size but it is lined with micro fiber so it cleans your phone when you put it in.

Surely, you can get the nexus one silicon case (the ones that dont have the bottom covered where the desire buttons would be). They are practically the same size, give or take fractions of a mm here or there.
Anyone found a good silicone cover/skin yet?
Hi all,
Even the fact it is going to take a few weeks, i already ordered a screenprotector.
Brando Ultra Clear Desire HD for 9 euros. I can say Brando has good screenprotectors, so I think this will be a good one
After a year or so, i will remove it. Does the protector affect the touch/feeling/screen typing btw?

If you look at the film at http://www.pdashop.nl/product/61611/brando-screenprotector-htc-touch-hd.html, you will see (towards the end of the Iphone part) that the phone seems to respond very quickly
I've used a few kind and my fave is Marin Fields - good screen protection but screen is still vibrant with colour.
There are four listed here:

"I can say though that the fit is perfectly cut and covers the whole screen which includes the touch sensitive buttons. It has 2 sides to peel which I liked, she used a credit card and it scratched the top of the protector and then we went....fhew..the top layer peels off and it looks perfect, one bubble on the edge that came out easily and it doesn't dull the screen at all, very impressed with it, so much so I order one..."

They do have them now. I ordered one last week and got it deliverd yesterday. Haven´t had the time to put it on yet. From what if seen you realy have to take some time to apply the protector.
As soon as it´s on for a few days I´ll post a review with my experience.
Yes, I know. I ordered a couple last week.
I ordered my brando ultra clear yesterday, got them today. 2 for 16 euro's. So a little cheaper then 9 euro's. Now I only have to wait for my DHD, what will probably be next week

So Far,
My preference about screen protector has always been "BestSkinsEver". Used for my PMP Cowon A2, Iphone 3Gs as well. It's so clear once you want to remove it from the device. No left dust or something.

Of course no spesific skin for Desire HD but you can order DIY size which means you can shape it whatever you need. At least that's what I do Advise you to check it out.

The cracked screen wouldn't have been saved by a screen protector, the phone was dropped from a height by accident onto a concrete floor. If the phone had landed differently it would have been fine.
I've never put a screen protector on my Hero and it looks brand new. Just don't put the phone in your pocket with change or keys or anything.
Just to let you guys know, a screen protector is ESSENTIAL.
I already apparently seem to have some sort of graze on the screen - barely noticable - but I've had it for 24 hours...
Definately not a scratchproof screen by any means.

I have my full body protection ready to install from Dev Def. Never heard of them before and so hoping theres no orange peel effect, loss of sensitvity and that it fits well etc. Will provide a review (with pictures, but not high quality sadly as will be from my G1) as soon as i receive it later this week!

Zagg already have the EVO 4G protection, we cannot use those? i think that are small diferences...
Great. Brando Workshop screen protectors are out for the desire HD.
I have used them for my last 5 last HTC phones and have always been of great quality and lasted me for a year at least.
You can find them here : http://shop.brando.com/index.php under What's new.
I have always used the UltraClear ones with great results.
i have really weird issue with the phone, i try and try 6 sets of genesis thc Screen Protectors, and they all the same
issue - i get 2 bubble on the left, and its un removable, that is NOT my issue i try and make dozens of screen Protectors,
and the HTC SP430 is great prodact, same size as the phone.
i think and sure its the phone, and it will go with the time, dono its like not flat phone (lol)?
Already have a (little) scratch on my screen. After 4 days.
And while I tried to be really carefull, because I was waiting for my sleeve and protector.
Well, worse things can happen. But I think it is a must have.
You might have tiny specs of dirt/grit at those two points, really hard to get out right at the edge?

It could die. But seriously... screen protectors? Why bother wasting your money? To be honest, you might need it if you have say keys in your pocket, but who's stupid enough? I don't know but screen protectors are a waste of time and money.

To be fair, I use screen protectors. Just to be on the safe side, and they are non-obtrusive. And a waste of money? I have to disagree with that. I got 6 screen protectors off eBay for 99p UK seller- UV protection, anti-grease, anti-dust, anti-scratch. They last for about 3 months.
I think if you want to be safe, get a screen protector. They might protect your screen from damage one day, and for pennies its a worthy investment.
I disagree with Screen Protectors being a waste of money. My phone was in mint condition until I bent over and my phone slipped out my pocket.
It landed face down, on stones. I now have a scratch going right across my screen.
You get really cheap ones. But don't waste your time with those. You won't be able to see very well through them.
Go with Martin Fields protectors. Way more expensive, but worth it. I have one now.
I've used a Martin Fields one since day they were released and, combined with my HTC pull cord case, I've not got a mark on my handset. Small outlay for piece of mind IMO
I got some of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/FoneM8-Desi...UKGK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305831209&sr=8-1
Crystal clear, cheap as chips and doesn't interfere with the phone in any way.

exactly the same as me since i bought my desire. perfect combination and my desire still looks like new.
I'm using Martin Fields atm. I like the fact that it comes with camera protector as well. On the other hand I find it more "scratchable" than Brando Crystal Clear I've been using before. After a year it's so scratched I gotta change it. I'll try either 3M Vikuti or Writeshield Crystal now - these are are said to be among the best.
I do recommend to buy a good screen protector and apply it properly - this is a really good guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015394
You'll never notice it's there, it'll serve you a long time, you won't have to bother with several ****ty cheapos that require frequent changes and worsen the overall user experience (worse screen clarity, bubbles, don't fit to screen properly, don't stick on the edges, unpleasant in touch etc.).
This is my take on screen protectors.
I've been using a Zagg protector for the last 6 months. Excellent protection but find the screen isnt 100% responsive or smooth.
Tempted to try another but worried that it wont go on and fit as well as the zagg...
Has anyone experience with the original HTC-Ones (HTC SP P360)?

I have purchased an HTC Desire from Electronics a week ago. Their services were great and shipment response time was awesome. I am a frequent user of any cell phone. This is the reason why I need a new screen protector. I have also purchased an Iphone 4g unlocked from Electronics, but their protector is the best. HTC guys are bad in giving bad quality protectors and we have to buy protectors once each month. I just want to ask you guys one thing that what will happen to the mobile phone if rain water goes inside?

I had a Zagg and hated it. It distorted my screen and was not smooth to touch and drag on. I have the Vikuiti (3M) one mentioned in the "perfect application of a screen protector" thread and I couldn't be happier. I've had it on for more than a month. If I didn't know better I wouldn't even know it was there. It's VERY smooth and crystal clear so it doesn't interfere with the screen at all.
I just ordered a Brando anti glare one from there site, after watching some video's of it on youtube it looks very good.

It's only 2USD here in the Philippines. [
I know its been asked but just thought an end all poll would be good as I've seen it being discussed on about 10 different threads (rom threads, theme threads, etc.).
Right now Im rocking NO screen protector atm. Only reason for that is like most of you Im careful but I have some faith in gorilla glass. Dropped my Evo 4G (has gorilla glass too) face down with no protector and it slide a couple feet on the street, after flipping **** I picked it up to find a dent on the outer plastic but the screen wiped clean. So far I clean my screen daily and have had no scratches on my Sensation. But I do leave for college in a couple weeks though, Ill be getting a Zagg screen protector put on before then for sure though. I mean **** happens when your drunk (jumping off high things, keg stands, babies...). Heres what I got to say about Zagg: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16246895&postcount=19
I also rock this case: http://www.amazon.com/TPU-Cases-Flexible-Sensation-T-Mobile-Packaging/dp/B0055DZPAM
I like it more than any Ive used before ex: otterbox commuter on evo, sedio cases, full body screen protectors, list goes on. Its light, protects my phone, looks good, all the cuts are just about perfect.
So do you?! Also whats your set-up too keep your phone looking good? Post some pics if youd like, I will in a bit of what I use.
I don't use for the moment any "Screen Protector", but when i will buy it, i will buy an "Maximum Coverage InvisibleSHIELD", even if i think i will use in first just the "Screen Coverage".
I bought it for my OLD device, and it was prefect.
Link : http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-sensation-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
Yeah, I use a cheap sub-$1 one and it works wonderfully well. Doesn't alter the colours, nor the viewing angles and certainly not the ease of using the device itself (sleek, low-friction material just like the original screen itself).
I use the this screen protector and works really great. 3bucks you can't go wrong.
Haven't used a screen protector since last year when I bought/used the Nexus One.
I don't use any protectors, no need for.
