screen cover for P3600

I'm looking for a screen cover for P3600.I tried a cheap one but with that touch screen doesn't worked at all. Everything ok when removed.
I purchased a screen protector from expansys when I bought my 3600, and it was crap. The worst screen protector I've ever had and it cost me £5! not happy at all.
I took a chance a couple of days before christmas and bought a cheap one from a seller on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Screen-Protec...hZ004QQcategoryZ58540QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem
Cost me £3.98 with the delivery, very good screen protector. Easy to apply and very clear. Best I've found for a while. I will be buying a few more to use in the future.

I had an extra screen protector that I had bought from PPC Techs for my Prophet. I was happy to find that it fit my Trinity perfectly. I have tried Write Shields and Brando and for me the PPC Tech satin finish is the best. They aren't cheap, but worth every penny.
For me, Martin's Fields Overlay Plus is the best! doml.com
There are no specific WriteShields for Trinity.
Would a Hermes protector fit well?
I use the ultra clear screen protector from Brando and it is one of the best I have ever tried. Almost invicible and the colors are just as clear as without it. The surface is great for writing with the stylus and it is easy to clean it.
I have had it off and washed it under warm water to get it completely clean - no problem, it was as good as new. Think the price was $10 (US).
I've been using Brando UltraCleare Screen Protectors On HP 4150, Dell X51v and now on 2 Trinity's (one mine, one belongs to mi girl-friend). Haven't seen anything better so far.
You can get them from www.inkino.co.uk, but if you pop in to their shop, they might aswell aply it for you properly...
IMO, the Martin Fields (overlayplus.com) and BoxWave ClearTouch Crystal are the two best screen protectors on the market. I highly endorse both.
Speaking of screen protectors...does anyone know if a protector designed for the HTC Herald will fit the Trinity? I have one on hand and thought it might do the job since the screens are of identical dimensions.
The Martin Fields one from Mobile Fun for the TyTN fits the 3600 perfectly ... and its bl**dy lovely it is 1 week on and not a mark in site.
Although you do need laboratory conditions to install it.
Does the Boxwave screen protector leave a gluey residue?
I've heard that some protectors don't use "glue" Eg. the Exim SPUC.
Which is better?

I buy here, quality and $ is ok
http://www.boxwave.com/products/categories/screen_protectors.htm
$13.00 for a screen protector for the tilt. that is crazy. is that really a good deal?
I´m sure you can find a cheaper one, this was just my recommendation to your question
Good luck then,
I got mine here:
HTML:
http://www.overlayplus.com/US/index.asp?Nocache=0.533424%3E
. Crystal clear and stylus glide on it smoothly.
I have been using screenpatronus.com. There is cheaper, plastic film to buy for your electronics, but they don’t compare to those that screenpatronus.com sells.

[Q] zagg alternative

hi, just wondering if there's a zagg full protection alternative, like are there any other company's that make a full body protection skin for the desire hd?
Not yet, but I am using the one for EVO 4G from www.stealthguards.com. Not a perfect fit, but I got the best results (minimal smudges, no bubbles) for the $2 I spent on this, compared to the $10 I spent on various other screen protectors specifically meant for DHD!
I think they will come out with one for DHD, as it will be launched in the US soon (Telus).
I emailed stealthgaurd the other day and they replied saying they are planning making one for desire hd

Case-mate make the clear armour which is similar I think But I might stick to the barely there for shock protection

Bodyguardz is a good option ..have them on my iPod ..gr8 quality..and no orange peel effect like zagg's..google for some discount coupons..u will get atleast 10% off.
Best part is these guys have a dry apply option ..was really scared to put all that liquid on my DHD..have ordered a full body kit..will take atleast 2-3 weeks to ship to India..will post a review as soon as i get them ..saw some pics of devdef protectors on this forum..didnt look too good on the back of the phone ..so i'm considering a case mate pop case for protecting my DHD's back.
Hope it helps..
www.bestskinsever.com , have some good expierences with them for my ipod touch protectors. Recently ordered my DHD skin there.

First Look at Official Sensation accessories!

HTC CU S490 Sensation Car Upgrade Kit
HTC PO S621 Sensation Meteor Slip Pouch Bulk
HTC TP C620 Sensation TPU Translucent Black Hard Shell
HTC AC M490 Sensation MHL - HDMI out Cable
HTC SP P540 Sensation Screen Protector Twin Pack
The car holder looks like the expensive HD2 one rather than the cheaper Desire HD. Surprised thought the DHD would havebeen far more popular due to a much better price point.
PS Put in links because I could get images to show here - sorry.
the TPU shell looks nice - hopefully there will be HTC accessories at the T-MO store when the phone is out~
If the phone has the same materials as the Nexus One, then, you probably don't need the shell
Think i'm going to buy an case, thank you!
If the TPU case is as good as the one I have for the Desire HD, it should be quite nice
If the HTC Sensation has Gorilla glass, why are HTC selling official screen protectors? Seems a bit of a contradiction.

Why is it better to buy HTC shell than Case-mate?

Although it is great solid glass, it's not completely fail proof, I have an SGS with GG and I managed to scratch the screen (more like slight pits on the screen portion) and a couple 1-2mm scratches by my Back touch button, when it fell out of my pocket onto a slabbed surface.
Did anyone buy the hard shell? would like to see how it looks on the phone

It's out on May 30th (next Monday). I've pre-ordered mine from play.com (£2 cheaper thank the links in the first post), together with the slip pouch and screen protectors. I'll take pics when I get them.
I'm not going to use the hard shell AND the pouch, but I'll choose when I get them. I'd prefer a "naked" phone once out of the slip pouch, but I'm nervous about dropping it, like I did with my HTC Desire a couple of times which knocked small chips off the top corners.

I'm probably going to go for a pouch, like I did for my DHD, I don't want to cover up the beautiful phone body with a case
DNLA adapter
Here is another handy accessory for those of us that do not have a DLNA enabled flat panel.
HTC Sensation Media Link DLNA Adaptor DG H100

Spent $4K on one of the 1st Samsung 52" LED backlit LCDs 3 years ago. Can justify a $145 add on allot easier than a new $2000 TV.

Case-mate appear to be making a Case-mate Tough for the Sensation - that will be good no doubt!
Official dock
Do somebody know something about official Dock for Sensation?
All online shops that showed the official HTC accessories as being out today (30th) are now just showing as out of stock. Was hoping to get them early this week.
Just got my official HTC screen protectors.
Not good news, I'm afraid.
- Each screen protector comes with one peel-able side, the other side is the face-up side and doesn't have a second bit to peel off once it's been applied to the phone.
- Each screen protector is EXACTLY the same shape and size of the screen, going to the very edge on all four sides, with rounded corners and a tiny cut-out for the proximity sensor.
- Each screen protector is completely flat, with no account taken of the bevelled edge.
- The surface of the screen protectors has quite a lot of friction. Rather than smooth movements, the screen protectors result in juddery movements.
- Whilst it is just about possible to get it to stick to the long edges of the screen, it is impossible to get it anywhere close to the top and bottom edges. See the third attached picture (ignore the bubbles!). You can see the strip about 8mm wide where it just won't stick down. It comes off almost straight away.
I really don't recommend these at all! I'm going to risk the Gorilla glass until (hopefully) some better screen protectors are available.

Screen protectors for desire s?

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 have one on my desire s to be safe rather than sorry but I'd be interested to know what people think....

I bought them from china through eBay! 5 pieces for 4 bugs

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.

My Desire S always in my jeans pocket (just single phone, no keys, coins, etc). And my phone has not a single scratch after 4 month of use.

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 !!

cheers mate! will consider your opinions
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.
Anyone tried 3M protection?

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!
