The Diamond screen-protector

Ok, i've had a problem with it, first i removed the protector that was as large as the device and made the screen very ugly, then i got the one from the box and putted it on, every air-bulb was gone when i kept rubbing etc.
1 stayed, under that bulb there was something white, i found out it was a 'piece' of dust.
It was kind of annoying so i removed the screen-protector, now when im trying to put it on i get lots of 'dust-bubbles',
Anyone has an idea of how to do it or should i just leave my diamond without the screen protector?

Protection
Personally i prefer to have a screenprotecter on my device. I can recommend invisible shield. its very durable and will not be scratched. check it out on www.zagg.com

If you remove the protector, then there will alway be dust next time, because the dust get stuck to the protector glue. (I have also remove mine several times)
I have tried zagg, but I can't recommend it. It is a little sticky (which they also says on their homepage) and I don't like that. The floating feeling is gone. It is also not that invisible.
I have selected to buy a new original protector, and will use that.
The trick to get it on without bobbles is to start on the long edge and then slowly add it. (Keep the 'paper' on as long a possible).

The original is washable. Wash it and dry it with a paper towel that sucks in the water bubbles, wipe dry and clean your screen and reapply it.
By the way, this goes to Accessories forum.

I did this and the dust keeps coming at the protector and my phone and there will be bubles because the dust gives it a 'height-problem'..

I bought invisible shield for mine, its pretty nice after say 4 days from install.
For first 2 days it might seem really bad but it gets much better.
I somehow scratched it without even noticing it, so I sent picture to zagg and they sent me new one. Even though scratch was very minor.

hi. this my first post on this web site
excuse me for my bad english
i have a diamond and i remove orginal screen protecter because i write sms with letter recorgnizer and the area that i write words on the screen become white and scratch. i remove orginal and buy a new one that for iphone. i cut it for my phone size and apply it. its sooo much stiky and i have a problem like orginal one.i wnat to remove it and when i do it a tiny layer of glue stand on my diamond screen. i can't clean it. and it give a bad scene to my diamond.
what's your idea. i give u a pichture from my diamond screen.

Perhaps you could use isopropyl alcohol, usually it will remove glue without damaging the plastics surface (in that case: your display). DON'T USE nail polish remover, acetone or even benzine, it will remove the glue too - but your display would look "milky". You can get isopropyl alcohol at the pharmacy.
Tell us if that helped you

I didn't get a screen protector with mine... I mean, I had a shipment protector with a little tab for peeling off, but nothing came with it for long term use. It's a Sprint, did they just not include one?

the exim screen protector is very good and smooth

I always use the Brando screenprotectors. See their online shop. They ship worldwide for only $ 3,00 shippingcosts.
It is very easy to install, easy to clean, 100% garanteed scratch free and very durable.

I've got a Sprint Diamond too, and didn't think I got a protector either, but it was in the separate bag that has the manuals. It should have come with one...Wish it woulda come with an extra one too, oh well.

I had the same problem with misalignment and dust bubbles with the HTC protector on my first few tries...i did however fix the problem...
Take the protector off and clean off the phone...use a microfiber cloth to get all the dust and oil off...after its super clean...take the protector and wash it off with some mild soap...rub the soap in with your fingers and get it clean. Be sure to note which side is down. After its clean, hold it around the edges and let the water bead off...i blew on the protector to get residual water off...some water is ok...actually helps with the install...the basically carefully apply it still holding the sides making sure not to leave finger prints. Start from the top and work your way down... i used a credit card pushed against the microfiber cloth to squeegie the protector down...be carefull with the few drops of water. After you have it down...there might be little bubbles or what looks like water spots where water is trapped under the screen...dont worry...just use your phone and leave it alone. Once it heats up from the excessive phone use it will start to dry up and the protector will come out very nice and smooth. Mine is flawless and i did the wash with soap apply and remove at least 3 or 4 times to get it right...Just be patient

I use screen protector from martinfields, what do you say about, anyone have one??
I think the best in market

My HTC one got a nasty scratch in it last week, so I ordered a Martin Fields.
It arrived this morning and I've got it on without any problems. So far I've noticed:
- It's not a perfect fit like the HTC one was. The hole for the speaker at the top is larger than the hole in the phone. It's not bad though.
- The visibility of the screen does seem better than the HTC protector, but I don't know if it's just the placebo effect of having a more expensive protector.
- It was _easy_ to put on, no bubbles at all
- The protector for the bottom buttons is awful. The circle is just the right size to completely hinder using the touch wheel and it's obvious that you've got a piece of plastic on there.
- It seems smoother than the original HTC one when using the stylus.
So far I'm impressed with it. I didn't bother with the camera hole or bottom hard buttons. The in box HTC one was fine for me, but when I got a scratch on it (my stylus somehow developed a sharp edge), it annoyed me.

I'm using the one supplied as standard with a uk CompactIV and it's great- you can hardly tell it's thereand the sensitivity seems fine.

I have 24 diamond screen protectors. Because i bought 24 diamonds and sold them all without screen protectors so i am sorted untill i buy another phone.

After using the martin fields one for a couple of days, I think it's great.
The screen looks much brighter and clearer through it (I thought the HTC one was great, but I do notice the difference). Plus the smoothness is brilliant, theres pretty much no friction for the stylus or fingers

where can i purchase the htc screen protector? the original that comes in the box...

anti-glare / anti finger print screen cover recommendations?

So im looking for something to reduce glare and control finger prints on this 8.9 tab. I remember buying one from sprint a long time ago for a 7" tab and its worked great.
Basically, im looking to give it a matte finish, reduce finger prints while not sacrificing view quality. So if anyone has tested something they liked or hated, please report back.

I used rain x on mine 8.9, works great against fingerprints

Yeah that's the same story i'm reading from online reviews of various products. I found one that has a good review, but they want 20.00 for one sheet. >_<
Referring to this:

i never understood how they can get away with that kind of prices. it is a piece of plastic cut from a stencil, apparently from the wrong 8.9in tablet but still just a piece of plastic
i finally gave up, got a micro micro-fiber cloth and resigned myself to cleaning my screen every ten minutes

I installed the 3M NaturalView screen protector for my Galaxy Tab 8.9. It neither reduces glare or fingerprints. But, it does a great job protecting the screen.
And I learned a really neat trick for removing those little bits of dust from under the screen after installation (from a youtube video for this product). Basically, just use a piece of scotch tape to lift a corner of the screen protector nearest the lint. Then use a second piece of scotch tape to collect the lint while the screen protector is lifted up. With a little patience, you can get EVERY bit of dust removed. After learning this trick, I went back and fixed my Galaxy Nexus screen protector too!

what an awesome tip.. i hate when that happens and you use your finger to pick up the edges and u get finger prints on the inside. i'll have to try this in the future..

I've put Zagg covers on my phones, an iPad, several iPhones, and my Xoom. The material has been fantastic on all of them. The only caveats are that it does require some serious patience, very clean hands, and fastidiously dust free surface to work on. On larger devices, it is more challenging to get on just right. But it will last the life of the device and protect like nothing else I've found so far.

I am looking for a screen protector that will take care of fingerprints. 2 minutes after I clean it it is the same.
Anybody got any that are decent?
Thx

Screen protector dilemma

Does any of you proud X owners think that if one applies the a screen protector incorrectly (bits of dust between the protector and the screen) or something similiar, that it could cause the screen to scratch, having a sand-like effect? I'm really paranoid about the screen when it's naked...
btw. how the hell am i supposed to put on a protector without air bubbles? Seems impossible.

I dunno about the first question. But you're supposed to be able to put it on using a credit card to smooth it out as you apply it. In saying that, I've never done it successfully

I doubt having anything under the screen protector would harm these screens. The junk stuck under it isn't going to move as it's stuck in the adhesive.
The best way to apply them (for me anyways) is to clean the screen with an LCD cleaner (or make your own), use tape to blot up anything else, wipe again.
Next--I have found by taking the first layer of the film protecting the screen protector upside down works best. Dust and debris can fall and settle on the sticky side. Then carefully apply. As long as you don't touch the adhesive side, you can pick it up and keep applying the protector until you get it right. You want the top of the protector just about even with the AT&T globe.
Enjoy.....

By using tape do you mean using scotch tape, sticking it on the screen and pulling off?
I'll try washing my screen protector, drying it up, cleaning the screen with MF cloth, taping it up and then hopefully I'll be able to apply it perfectly! :fingers-crossed:

If you trap a particle of dust under the protector that has a hardness greater than the screen, yes, it will eventually scratch the screen in that spot.
However: Gorilla Glass has a Mohs hardness of around 9, which means there is not a lot in the mineral world that can scratch it. The likelihood of your trapping something like that under the screen protector, if you apply it correctly, is not great.

You should be able to remove a particle big enough to scratch your phone from the screen protector without having to wash the protector. I think you would ruin the screen protector if you wash it.

I've used packaging tape as it leaves no residue. Done it for years before with iPhones before owning an Android.

When you apply your screen protector, do it in a washroom with a hot shower running. The steamy air will prevent dust from getting under it.

I will try that out. I always seem to get a bit of dust or lint on the corner of my screen protectors.

Just don't wait too long, not sure if the humidity sensor would get affected.
The way I do it: obviously, I clean the screen then remove completely the clear layer from under to make sure no dust will fall in. I'm holding the screen protector with the tips of my fingers on the sides and gently bend it across (the long) median then align with the phone's screen (this is the hard part). Put the screen protector on the screen at this stge the contact area will be the median line, and then use a credit card and work your way to the eges (one side at a time). I never got any bubbles under this way. I caught some dust particles few times though. It takes patience but it pays off, currently I have no dust or bubbles on it.

If the particle is trapped in one place and can't move, I don't see how it can cause a scratch.
Plus, if any dust gets on the screen during the application process (as long as you've done a halfway decent job), its probably airborne. So its not grit or sand or anything like that (which would just fall to the ground instantly) but more likely skin, ash, etc.
A little preparation and a few tricks will go a long way to a good screen protector install. My process is:
1) Use a wet apply protector. Don't know why, but I've had vastly better results (no dust under protector) with wet apply rather than dry ones. I got to the point where I can do a dry type almost flawlessly, but only after lots of practice and a great amount of care. But even so, there still tends to be a dust particle or two. With wet apply, the first one I ever tried was perfectly dust free with little effort, and the subsequent ones also.
2) Before starting, examine the protector and see how it fits on the phone. With the backing still on the protector, place it on the phone's screen and match up the openings and edges to familiarize yourself.
3) As previously mentioned, use steam to pull dust out of the air. I run a hot shower for 5-10 minutes, then apply the protector in the bathroom. It won't eliminate all the dust, but makes a big difference.
4) Wipe the screen off with a micro-fiber cloth (often included with better quality wet apply protectors).
5) Blow off the screen with a can of compressed air (the kind used to dust electronics and whatnot) to get rid of any remaining dust.
6) Spray the application solution. Quickly apply the protector. As another mentioned, don't hold the sticky side up after you take the backing off, or it will instantly catch dust. Put the protector on quickly, don't let the sticky side touch anything but the screen. Handle the protector as little as possible, and by the edges.
7) Squeegee the protector down with a credit card (make sure the edge of the card is smooth) or some protectors will include a rubber squeegee. Blot the excess moisture at the edges. Then leave the phone alone while it dries.

The best investment for my smartphone has been Ghost Armor. I have spent so much money on packs of screen protectors. A couple years ago I decided $45 was worth it if I only needed to do it once a year. You won't regret it, and you don't have to install it.

I replace about 3 screen protectors a year (bought from amazon clear ones, 3 for $1.99). Other than a little rainbow effect when the screen is off, no regrets looks just like glass. I've been through many protectors before (ridiculously many on my first 'smartphones' rip moto ming, touchpro 1&2) but I can't justify the cost anymore, I'd rather have none (since I change my device every 8-12 months).

Screen protectors that come in packs are crap. The higher quality kind that cost $15 or so (Skinomi, Zag, etc) are in a different class. I've had a Skinomi on my One X since release (May), and one on my Flyer for almost a year and a half. Both are still looking great.

Not sure if this is still relevant, but I will put a vote for Ghost Armor as well. I have it for all my devices and it's like there's nothing there. Crystal clear and screen responsiveness is great. Had Zagg before and the orange peel feel and stickiness made me remove it. Those cheap packs aren't great either, they scratch up very very quickly.

A tip for installing Glass Screen protectors

Yesterday i bought the Spigen glass.tr screen protector
it's a dry protector and no wet solution needed
the biggest problem any one can had is the dust under the screen protector
anyway
i installed the protector after cleaning my phone screen very carefully and i was sure that there was no dust there
and of course after the installation there was some dust between the protector and the screen
i was very mad . it's a 30$ protector
i removed the protector and using some alcohol (the white one that u can find in any drug store )
i cleaned the protector
then i made sure that the protector stays wet with the alcohol and i applied it then used the squeegee to remove any small drops of alcohol between the screen and the protector
and now its perfect no dust and no bubbles at all
i wanted to share this with everyone having trouble applying his glass screen protector

How did you remove it? Most stories I've read of someone removing have led to a problem in the area where they first pried it up.

Usally whn this happens i just get tape and stick it under the screen protector without removing it totally or screen and remove the dust. And lay the screen protector again. Always works for me.

Mime ghost glass comes with an anti-dust film. All I did to install was wipe the screen down to remove oils, stick on the film and remove it, and put the glass on. Not a single bubble or spec of dust on the first try.

Great tip!
One has to be OCD about cleaning, to ensure dust free surface before application!
I was able to install it in one go without any dust particles!
I had it in a very well lit room on my workbench with table lighting + my ledlenser headlight looking at the screen from various angles and gave a final wipe with the included mf cloth ( had cleaned the screen prior to final wipe with included ipa swab quite a few times)just before removing the film to install glas.tr.
Not to mention I minimized airflow throughout the room which really helped to prevent dust movement and recontamination of the screen surface!

not if you dust is on the middle
and if you have a cat or dog , it will be a miss
i use your method always when there is dust at the corners or edges so it easy to remove it

Thanks for this. I ruined and discarded a glass screen protector because I tried to remove dust using the old tape method. By the time I was done so much other stuff had landed on the sticky side that I gave up. I then tried water but it was too sticky to make a difference. I may buy another one now knowing I can use rubbing alcohol!

If you're really nuts about no hazing from alcohol then use some true 190 proof Everclear.
Also, use a bunch of bursts from a can of compressed just before you apply the protector, but be careful to not blow anything on the exposed backing.

I would use an isopropyl or ethyl type alcohol, no acetone.

I've always just gone into my bathroom, run the shower at hot until the mirror glass begins fogging up, clean off my phone screen, apply the protector.
The steam will weigh down the dust particles in the air allowing you to install your screen protector without finding dust immediately after you just cleaned it.

That sounds like an interesting idea too. Only downside I might see is if the steam gets between the glass and the phone, and the steam is from impure water (no tap water is perfectly pure), and those mineral deposits become visible in between the glass someday. But I'm probably overthinking it. Will have to do an install myself in a few weeks, tough to decide between the steam room and the alcohol methods.

That's why I said "as soon as the mirror starts to fog up" instead of "wait until everything's so foggy you can barely see in front of your face".
You can also wait until you start seeing some steam, then open your bathroom door a crack and turn off the shower. That'll stop the accumulation of steam but still allow you to proceed with the installation.

How did you remove it? Most stories I've read of someone removing have led to a problem in the area where they first pried it up.

can you elaborate on this? what kind of problem, i know i have a replacement on the way from MIME (amazing customer service btw), so i'm curious why peopled are having an issue with removal...

I've just seen a handful of stories in this forum where people have peeled up their glass and when they've put it back down, the corner they peeeled from won't lay flat.

Bodyguardz Pure Tempered Glass is a "GO" with NO Halo.

Just installed the Bodyguardz Pure Tempered Glass screen protector with the Express Align tray on my white Galaxy S6.
It is 100% Halo Free and went on pretty much perfect. Not sure how it would come out on the black S6 but I'm not complaining about mine.
I have installed tons of screen protector over the years and this is my first Bodyguardz. The Express Align tray works perfect and I highly recommend it.
Just made sure you push real hard and wait for the protector to adhere to the phone before trying to remove the Express Align tray.
Well worth the $35.00 from the AT&T Store. I also have the Zagg as a back up but don't think I'll be needing it right now.
It's a little short on the top and bottom but that is how they avoid the halo.
I'm sure Bodyguardz will be offering their "Crown" for the S6 Pure in the near future.
I also managed to installed it without getting any junk under the screen
(the spots in pics are only in the pics, not under glass).
Here are a few pictures.

Can you share any tips that help to prevent dust or lint get under the screen during installation?

Just a real clean area and have a nice bright light over the area you are working on. Also a can of compressed air comes in handy. Soft Micro Fiber rags. I use the Giottos Large Rocket Blower ( used with my cameras). I believe that they are only like $10. and something you will always use as I do. Bodyguardz is coming out with their "Crown" for the S6 to fill in the spaces.

My tip for a clean and lint free installation. Go into your bathroom. Turn on the shower with hot water. Let it get nice and steamy. It will settle the dust in the room and then clean and apply the screen protector. Sounds crazy but been doing this for years and never get anything under my screen protectors.

That depends on your location actually. I also do the same but Moscow is very very dusty city and I live near the highway... so even after the hot shower I can see particles floating))) Usually I buy couple of protectors so succeed with at least one, that is not an option with a 35 bucks SP though )

Another vote for the steamy shower route.

I'm tempted to pull this one off and try the Zagg I have sitting here.
If it was not so short on the top & bottom it would be perfect.
