Screen Protector Woes - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hey guys, I just received a generic dry applied screen protector from Amazon and I'm having some problems with it. I have 2 more so if I need to reapply to try to fix these issues its not a problem.
1) The sides of the screen protector are lifted up and wont stay stuck down due to the infinity screen's curve at the end. Can I somehow make this dry screen protector stick? I'd like not having to buy a new wet applied one since they are around $10 (if you guys can find one for cheaper, please let me know!).
2) I just applied it and it made the screen kind of fuzzy. It has kind of like the look of when you put greasy hands on your device if you guys know what I mean. Will this go away when the adhesive dries? It has already been one day since I applied it.
Thank you!

Here's a question: How much did you pay for your 3 pack?
Honestly they sound pretty cheap if they can't even stick or if you can tell it's on your phone. You could return them as defective and get the SGP ones.

I had the same issue. I'm either doing the wet application or have a nekkid phone!

And next time invest in some better quality ones. Then you should be satisfied.

I bought ZAG from AT&T, they put it on for me and it was well worth it. She did a Fantastic job.

i hate matte screen protector ...
for a dry application i think the peel on the side of the edge is unavoidable when the glass is curved ...
i might have to go with a wet application this time even i really dont want to

for wet applications - xoskins ive tried them all , best one.
Dry - brando uk ultra clear - takes forever to get them shipped but they are awesome.

Just picked one up at radioshack. At first I was hesitant to let the girl there apply it for me, but she said she was somewhat of an expert and, after seeing the fantastic job she did, I agree! Soooo much better than what I've been able to do on past phones!

The ZAGG HD screen protectors aren't bad. I personally will be waiting for ghost armor to come out with their protectors (hopefully they will). If your in an area where their is a kiosk they do a professional install and if anything ever goes wrong with your screen protector they will install a new one for 5 bucks for life.

Recommend me some good screen protectors

I still have the original plastic film on the screen from when I bought the phone but it's starting to peel off on one edge. Can anyone recommend me some good screen protectors? I would prefer it they do not smear and don't distort the screen in any way (colors or clarity). Thanks for any help! Loving this phone.
I'm in the same position. I went to ebay and purchased this extreme guard for $3.99 with free shipping.
It was sold when I found out the material is for protecting exotic car paint jobs...

You know, the one from tmobile isn't that bad. I was skeptical at first, but its easy to put on and I am actually satisfied. I took it off once to reposition and then peeled various parts back to get dust off of the screen and its stuck like it was brand new.

Yeah I'm trying to find a good sp before I get my G2 also. There's a few threads here already and the Vikuiti sp has good reviews but I'm waiting to see if someone can tell me if it's better than the Realook sp. I had the Realook one for the Vibrant and it was great, couldn't even tell it was on (aside from the ocassional fingerprints).
i Have the ones from T-Mobile, a little high in price at $14.99 but if u mess up you do get 2. You also get a screen cleaning cloth. If you like to use Swype then ull love this SP! it makes it super easy 2 swype. Fingers never get stuck to it and its a much better SP than the ones for the Mytouch / G1. iF u can find a friend whos buying a G2 u guys can go half on the pack at that point its 8 bucks a pop. Not bad.

You guys should really try the ZAGG i posted, it's the best screen protector you can buy in my opinion:

I'd like to find one that isn't "rubbery" at all. The one that came with my wife's MT3G isn't "scratch proof" like the rubbery ones, but it's nice and smooth and doesn't give the "orange peel" texture and distortion to the screen. I really don't mind if the SP get's scratched, I can always replace it! I just want an experience that is as close to no SP as possible.

Not the color but clarity. Just ever so slightly though. Makes this kinda grainy. You really won't notice.

If you both need OEM cases, then there is a deal at T-Mobile stores where if you buy 3 accessories, you get everything for 30% off. It would make the screen protectors about $10 (and the cases between $17-20-ish).
I don't mean to be a troll, but why do people need cases or screen protectors? You can try to scratch the screen with a razor and have no luck. I've never used a case or a screen protector, and all of my past phones still look new other than some slight paint rub off and one has a tiny dent on the corner from dropping it 8ft. All glass is 100% scratch free, even after many drops. What are you people doing with your phones???

I think I could keep my screen scratch-free, but to be honest I just simply don't want to risk it. With every phone I've purchased, I've thought I could keep from dropping it, but shtuff happens. A scratched screen is highly annoying. I'd rather have a screen protector and never have to worry about it.
I have a bad habit of dropping my phone, usually on hard, unforgiving concrete. The last thing I want is to damage or scratch up my case--especially during the 14-day buyer's remorse period.
I've used martin fiekd overlays and its pretty awesome.

I dont know about you, but when i sell my phones, it usually helps when the screen looks next to new. Tiny scratches develop over time whether you like it or not, so a SP is good to use. Plus, i dont know who fed you the information about glass being 100% scratch free because it is not.

I was saying my glass on my used phones are 100% scratch free. I have sold many phones on eBay after using them for 2 years. Their screen all looked "next to new" despite never using a SP.
They seem like a good idea for a female that drops her phone in to an over filled purse, but my phone is always alone in a pants pocket or sitting on a table/shelf/etc. I have dropped my phones multiple times, but thankfully none of them have ever got a scratch from it.
The best SP I have found to date is the one from T-Mobile. It's anti-smudge, cuts down on glare and has a great feel to it. I paid $15 for 2 of them.

Does it have a glass feel to it? I ordered one from a good business and it feels very much like glass I just don't like the way it fits on my g2. The corners looks as if they're going to peel off.

On another note do you think getting a screen protectors now could help make it less noticeable, maybe the sticky could fill it in.

ClearTouch Crystal at BoxWave.com Make SUPER Clear Screen Protectors. They Arent very noticable and they say they are 99% Clear. Hard to tell you have one on. Reviews seem good too. just google it. likes 12$ a Protector, maybe cheaper if you find some kind of discount code.
a "fix" for scratches
I suggest you grab the zagg screen protector. it should make the scratches invisible. they are totally awesome for protecting the screen. I took a fork to my wifes blackberry as a show, and thought i had went to far when I heard a "screech," but after pulling off the protector the screen was flawless. It also doesnt use "sticky stuff" so when you pull it off "i used mine on my blackberry for 2 years" the screen is clean and not sticky.
The only con is the price, $20, but i love my bolt like a newborn, its totaly worth it to me.

I honestly would not try this on my phone, I would rather live with the scratches, but if you want to try something I would recommend mr clean magic eraser which is basically wettable micro sand paper. This could possibly damage your touchscreen functionality though, I have no idea. I have no clue what else you'd possibly try.

I might be looking into a screen protector as well. I went a year and a half without one on my Eris, and didn't get a single scratch on the screen. I've had the Thunderbolt a week, and I just yesterday noticed two damn scratches on the screen. No clue how they even got there, I've been super careful with the damn phone!
I've read lots of mixed reviews about Zagg screens. I looked up reviews on that CrystalTouch screen though, and could only find positives. I think I'll try that one.
I thought I had a scratch on mine, but it went away after some gentle buffing of the screen with a cloth.
I haven't used it, but I've seen some tv adverts for some liquid eye-glass cleaner that supposedly fills in scratches. I'd meant to grab some a few years ago to see if it would fill in a scratch on my iPhone, but I don't have that one any more, so no way to test it out personally. I don't remember the name, but Google should find it for you.

There is something about the Thunderbolt screen that makes it feel scratch-able; I'm running it naked for now, and no scratches, but I'm a bit nervous about it.
I used the Zagg on my original iPhone. I don't think anything will protect it better, but some people have a tough time getting past the "orange peel" feel to it. I got used to it quickly, though.
I know how you feel, I found a a tiny scratch on mine this week too. I got the Zagg screen protector to cover it, but honestly, I hated it so i took it off...I missed the shine and bare feeling of the screen.. I used some toothpaste with whitening with a cue tip and it sort of made it better.. I'm kind of over it after rooting my phone and tweaking it, just try to enjoy it...my .2 cents.
I went to the mall and there was a Zagg stand. I asked how much and they told me $30. Wow. For a piece of plastic. I dont care how good it is. I went to the verizon kiosk and picked up a screen protector pack for $3. It kinda helped but i can still see it. :\

[Q] I need to order a new screen protector for my HTC Desire

Mod edit: This post looks like spam, but I won't remove the thread as it has useful discussion in it.
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:

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.

Phantom Skinz - Full Body Coverage

Well here it is ladies and gents, full body coverage for the HTC Sensation!
http://phantomskinz.com/htcsensation4g.aspx
I just got my device fully wrapped by Phantom Skinz with the clear film, they are a locally based company so I just took it into them. They also have a matte film available for the Sensation, as well as their really awesome Chromatics (literally looks like custom car paint).
First off, the guy at Phantom Skinz said it was really difficult to apply the full body coverage and anyone that has installed these types of films before, already knows that the install process is not that easy anyway. But, if a guy that installs these films on an almost daily basis says it was hard then that is definitely something to remember.
Now it wasn't the film for the screen that was difficult to install, but rather the film for the back of the phone. He said the film for the screen was actually easy, which I questioned because of the curved glass.
Also note, if you are not comfortable trying to apply the full body coverage yourself, you can actually send the phone in to Phantom Skinz and they will install it for you. I know it's not the most ideal solution, no one wants to be away from their Sensation for a week, but at least it is an option.
Anyway, the end result looks awesome and I really recommend looking into the Chromatics if your not really into the 3 tone color scheme going on with the back cover. The Phantom Skinz guy also said the install for the Chromatics is actually easier because it is more like applying a sticker versus the liquid based install of a clear film.
Beautiful! I'm guessing yours is the "Full Body Coverage" since it's so glossy...I want to see how the Matte one looks
I really like the feel of the soft painted back, so I don't think I'll be getting a case for my phone this time. Maybe a screen protector, if I can find one I can easily (and quickly, the less time it spends exposed to the dusty, pet hairy environment of my apartment, the better) apply.
I'm going to wait until stealth comes out with their full body. They usually have free ones and all you pay is shipping, I had two for my myTouch when it first came out

I like Phantomskinz but I'm not digging how glossy that looks.
thanks this is the skin I prefer, and glad its still 10 bucks for 2 screen protectors that are really good quality.
Only hesitancy is my S4G is being exchanged for dust under screen. A while ago my HD2 was warranty replaced. If only we could pull the phantomskinz off the screen and remount them on the replacement HTC.

I actually did just that with an ipod nano a couple years ago. I first had it replaced under warranty, then I couldn't get the film on the new nano how I wanted it , so I re-applied it several times. I just pulled the film off slowly and soaked it in a slightly warmer cup of water than the instructions say to do (not really sure if the higher temp helped) and it re-applied just as if it was brand new.
Tempted to buy this. But over $4 shipping to the UK puts me off... even with the 25% discount...

Phantom Skinz make a good product. They don't have as much orange peel as the Zagg's and they provide great protection. I've used them on a couple phones in the past.

Used this on my galaxy S, eventually (3-6months) the skin starts to allow dust in the edges of the skin causing the edges to catch on things like fingers.. until removed completely.
I would usually go with Phantom Skinz since I have gone this route with many of my devices, the G2, MT4G, G2x, Asus TF. It worked very well for both the clear skin and the chromatics. I decided to go with Ghost Armor this time, only because of where I am staying now, there is a booth inside mall, so I noticed it and since I had the cheap T-Mobile SP that doesn't cover the entire screen, I took a stab at it. They just cut out a templet, and then put it on the screen for now, until the actual product that should be coming in, in a few days. I paid $35 for the full body kit and they will install it. They put a temp SP on there that they manually cut, then had it sit in one of those dryers I guess that's inside a plexiglass. They told me to come back in a few days when they will have the body kit in stock and they will install it over again.

I hope they don't charge you the $10 install fee again...
I had GA on my G1 back in the day and it was just awful. It never stayed on and I had to get it re-installed 5 or 6 times. I don't know how I got suckered into paying the $10 install so many times (they didn't charge me the 1st time and only charged me $5 the 2nd). Each time I brought it back they always said, oh we have revised the film to make it better.
After that I never went back to Ghost Armor...

Yea I didn't care because I would usually do it myself, but I'm not home for 6 months, went to MA for an internship, and where I'm staying was the mall with GA in there. So I gave it a shot since I don't have my usual stuff for putting on the body covers. I will see how it is when they install it. I had bought the SP from TMO again since its in the mall, but after seeing GA I returned the SP from TMO and they were nice to give me a referral for 10% off GA

ZAGG Invisible Shield. Should I buy one?

Hey guys,
I am considering to buy a Zagg protection for my device.
I have three options.
I keen on the 1st one "Maximum Coverage".
I am asking from someone who use it to share with me his experience.
My questions are:
1. How easy is the installation?
2. Any bubbles after?
3. How about the sense of touch of the device? Is it too glossy?
4. Any serious dissadvantage that I haven't notice?
Thank you in advance for reading that.
maybe just me but have NEVER managed to fit a shield without bubbles.
allegedly phones fitted with gorilla glass, but that wont protect against keys etc in your pocket.
no noticable difference in screen sensetivity.
saying that i still use one to protect my resale value
I dont use them. But I have done that before. Remember to turn your phone of and let it cool down for a short while so it does not atract dust and you don't get buubles . And there is lots of videos in YouTube that shows how to do it right. I have had my dhd almost for a year whithout protection and don't have any scratch still. So even without it you should be fine.

My DHD is 22 months old (since Okt 2010). A month ago, my HTC wore a new chasis (bought it cheap from e-bay). I like the cold furbished metal finish that gives me. Thats the biggest reason I don't want to wear it a plastic Zagg.
From the other hand I am afraid of drops and scratches.
That's my dellima I am trying to anwser with this thread.
I had one on my iPhone when I had it and think they are brilliant!
Easy to fit without bubbles, go for it!!
Depends how much damage you expect is going to occur. I bought one of these at best buy. It does a full lifetime warranty. But its a pain. A week after buying it I had a huge scratch in it. I don't know how. But it shouldn't have scratched so easily. Applying it wasn't hard, but you do get bubbles and corners that wont stay down. What I find best that works is to buy a cheap protector for a tablet or iPad. You get about 5-10 screen protectors for the price of a single one. just cut to fit and apply. Make sure to get the ones with the spray, it cuts application time in half. Just don't use too much or you'll get water under the volume rocker and become bricked.

I put invisible shield on an iPod and a camera screen. In terms of protection, they do their job, but I would recommend against them for a touch-screen phone:
1) it is "sticky" to the touch, your finger doesn't glide across the screen
2) it picks up dirt and grease much more than a normal protector - and is difficult to clean/keep clean
3) it's "relatively" easy to apply, since you will wet it and then just place it on the screen, and iron out bubbles with a credit card or similar. HOWEVER, you will end up with an "orange peel" finish, which looks ugly and makes it difficult to view your screen.
Instead, get a good quality screen protector like Brandon (one that will cost approx €10), it will last longer without scratching than the cheap ebay ones, and as a result it will probably last the life of the phone.
i have invisible shild on my dhd ...it's nice because in the first week when i buy my phone, i scratch him a litle bit..so it protecting your glass and you don't get that fingers amprents like on regular screen :good:
I just bought one last week from Amazon and I am waiting for it to arrive.
Thank you all, so far, guys. I 'll stay with cheap screen protectors, and the leather case with the metallic stand.
Update.
The screen protector arrived a couple of weeks ago and I installed it right away. It was easy to install and I like the quality of the screen protector. I would recommend this screen protector to other owners. I plan on buying one for my Nexus 4.
I have install the invisible shield only on display without any bubbles. This was easy. Today, after two years, the shield have protect my DHD display very good.
I would buy the ZAGG products again.
