I received Brando's anti-glare protector today. It's a perfect fit, even has a little hole in the top left corner where the proximity & light sensors are. However...
It makes the screen look like sh*t, everything is "grainy" or "foggy". I can barely read my email (using the stock gmail client). I've always been a fan of Brando's screen protectors, ever since I bought one for my Axim X5 in.. what? 2003 or so... and their "Ultra-clear" protectors are still great (i put one on my wife's Magic and you can't tell it's there), but their anti-glare ones are pretty much useless on the N1 and similar phones.
Has anyone else used this particular screen protector? Was it as bad as mine, or did i just get a dud?

I just got my BoxWave anti-glare protector today, and it is really clear... if it turns out it is just an issue with all Brano's, take a look at the Boxwave one's. I got it 3 days after ordering it, came with a cleaning cloth and application card. As well, it is static cling too boot!
box wave sells really good screen protectors.
any pictures of it on the N1? please?

My only camera is my N1 right now since I just sold my G1 and the digital camera is at my brothers... I will try to grab it next time I go over there.
I will say that the fit is pretty good, but not perfect, it has about 1mm on one side and the top(I decided when I laid it down, I would do it that way so the bottom and right side was fully covered). When off, there is a hair of cloudiness, when on there is a hint of graininess and whites give a "prism" look at the correct angle, but both effects keep getting less and less as it has more time to fully work itself onto the screen and get all the air out. I suspect in a day or two there will be no "prism" effect of graininess.
It has a great feel to it when swiping, no drag at all. As well, fingerprints are a thing of the past.
I also ordered one of their ultra-clear, not anti-glare, and it is just perfectly clear. I use my phone outside a fair amount, though, so I wanted to do the anti-glare first and see if I could withstand the graininess and what not that is common with all anti-glare screen protectors. Compared to ones I have used in the past, just generic eBay ones, on my G1 and a TyTN II, this is the best anti-glare I have seen so far.

static cling. My experience on my Tilt was that it stayed on very well, but easy to take off.
If you start with dust or anything under the protector, it is easy to lift with a piece of tape and get the dust off. If necessary, you can take it off, wash with a little soapy water, dry it, and put it back on.
Had to do that with the Tilt because I was so ham-fingered when putting it on.

Static, like was already mentioned. I would not recommend the "anti-glare" for anyone that wants or expects it to be 100% crystal clear. Even after a couple days, I still have the slight "prism" effect going on... it works great in the sunlight making it so you can see the screen, but I don't think the outdoor improvement is worth the trade off.
As for application, the best way is to start taking off the backing, and then as you lay it down remove it more and more along the way.
The screen protector is thick enough that it lays down really really well with out any air bubbles.

can you post some photos with the N1 screen on and off?
In case anyone's interested, I uploaded a video to Vimeo. It's here: www"DOT"vimeo"DOT"com/9087329 (<3 spam rules for "new" users)
Note that the video actually makes the screen protector look a lot better than it really is...
My screen is currently "naked" and I'm waiting on dcmugen's clear screen protector (bought a pack of 5 for like 5 EUR).
Edit/update: uploaded to youtube as well (try the 1080p version) - www"DOT"youtube"DOT"com/watch?v=0yxpBL1zsFo
yes, i have ordered many different screen protectors in my time. just got an hd2 and decided to go with the brando anti glare... horrible! it is the most unreadable anti glare sp i have ever bought. the fit and and the cut is perfect, but it diffuses too much light. it does reduce glare but absorbes too much light that it makes the entire screen too light that you cant see anything anyway.
even my 5 dollar dc mugen for my mt3g used better material. i may have to try the boxwave.
i did end up buying the brando ultra clear after and those are still top notch.
Hi,
I have a had a Boxwave & Clarivue Anti-Glare, both decrease the clarity of the screen & I would not recommend.
I have ended up using a Clarivue Ultra Clear. You sustain the clarity of the screen & you can't even notice that it is there. Also when you order you get two sets at the same price of buying one Boxwave.
I would recommend Clarivue if you want to get the Ultra Clear, but if you still want to decrease the glare of the screen. I would recommend that you find a alternative screen protector that is not a Anti Glare but with a matt finish.
I have a 10% discount code if you want to order a Clarivue.
code: Clarivue7
Thanks

I like anti glare because it has the "matte" feel. Do all 3 Boxwave & Clarivue Anti-Glare and brando have that feel?

Clarivue & Boxwave Anti-Glare do have the matt feel, but decrease clarity.
Better off going with a standard matt screen protector.

Hi,
I think this might be what you are looking for. I done a quick search.
http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/M04-Pro-Scru...tDomain_216?hash=item255892922d#ht_4638wt_939
I haven't tried it but looks promising and cheap. You can ask the seller if you have any queries.
I have now bought eight of the things from two sources (the HTC brand and the five for £2 ones from Amazon) and not one of them fit properly. All were too big, by which I mean that there was not enough margin either side to ensure that they didn't overlap and bubble. And cutting a tiny strip off doesn't work either - the pressure of the stanley knife seems to put the plastic under tension, so that it doesn't bed down.
Thoroughly fed up with it.
My HTC branded screen protector fits perfectly on my Desire though.
Only had bubble around the round hole on the upper right.
Here here, used the same ones as you, the touch after is perfect, but there just crap everything else.
Also used invisable shield on the screen, and just horrible to use.

Don't bother with a screen protector?
In a year I haven't used screen protectors on any of my capacitive screened phones (i8910, HD2, Desire), not a scratch on any of them. Just be sensible and don't keep the phone in the same pocket as keys and you should be fine...

I've got the 2 dollar ones of amazon too and they fit great. Just perfect if u can get it lined up propper it will fit exactly. It took me 5 tries but evantualy i got 1 lined up properly.
just getting my desire today! but a word from the wise, a few weeks ago I was scrabbling under desks patching phone cables with my touch hd in my pocket, when I finally surfaced noticed a great big, deep scratch on my screen, probably from a desk leg or something. You could run your fingernail down it and it really felt like the glass had scratched. With big panic I gently lifted off the screen protector only to find that the deep scratch had not gone through to the glass. A fresh protector and it was as good as new.
I have already ordered protectors for my desire... well worth the money.

When in pocket, screen faces leg to avoid this problem
But I sympathize with the OP. I've tried a Martin Fields one, and a Brando anti glare one and I wasn't happy with either. Got some of those cheap amazon ones en route, but I think I'm going naked this time around. I was quite happy with the HTC ones on my Hero though.
Not had any issues with my Martin Fields one, gets a bit grubby but a quick wipe and its fine - also have it in it's case and screen facing inwards in my pocket so shouldn't have any issues...never had any issues before with screen issues in the past, though
FWIW, I'm exactly the same.
I bought the invisible shield protector, and tbh, so far I'm quite dissappointed in it.
Firstly, it's very tough to install, without getting dust particles underneath - I didn't get opportunity to do the "steamy room" trick as had been suggested before on here.
That aside, the protector seems really quite thick - I'm sure it will offer decent protection, but the touchscreen effect is really poor by comparison to an unprotected screen.
The question I have is this - are there no "hard" screen protectors?
A "Gorilla Glass" sliver would be excellent to place on top of your screen.
Anyone heard of something like this?
The screen protectors they sell in verizon and best buy for the Droid Incredible are a joke. After some quick diggin around I finally found a good company to go with. I got the Boxwave Crystal Clearview Screen Protectors for my Incredible two days ago and cant tell i even have it on my phone. Fits great, covers entire front of phone minus the earpiece and optical trackpad on phone. Went on first try, absolutely no air bubbles! Comes with a lint free cloth, should you encounter any air bubbles...The cloth prevents you from scratching the screen protector when removing any air bubbles. Also cleans the screen protector to perfection. I recommend Boxwave to anyone who is fed up of orange peel, misfitting, or screen protectors with clarity/quality issues. Boxwave also has has an antiglare/anti-fingerprint screen protector. Check and see what they have for the Desire. Good Luck.

I got a generic screen protector free with a gel case on eBay and I have to say, I think it's the first one I've put on WITHOUT any bubbles on it (and hence the first screen protector that's actually likely to stay on a device I own for more than 10 minutes ) Only think I don't like is that it makes the screen a bit less 'slippy' - it's still not bad, and to be honest I don't think I'll ever like the screen finish on the Desire when compared to the unscratchable, always smooth glass on my old iPhone...
I had inivisiable shield on, took me 3 times to install it and finally got it pretty much perfect,
then as you do, i got a key and scratched along it to show it off to some mates, so then one of my mates decided hey lets get a key and dig it right into it to make a big scratch down the middle!
Looked at ordering a replacement , but still had to pay $4 postage, ontop of the £1.50 my bank would charge for it being from the US. so i thought not worth it.
Though when i took it off it did protect the screen! not a scratch on it.
Here mate. Try these: 140397585852 on ebay.
I initially got a generic one from the three shop and it was rubbish. Very plastic and scratched very easily.
I got these off ebay and I am very impressed with it! It has a very good finish to the surface. Very similar to the bare screen. Also they are actually slightly smaller than the glass screen area so very easy to fit. Also they are very easy to fit and got no dust or bubbles!
Pack of 6. Bargain!

This is the first screen I've scratched, after years and years of big screens in my pocket - I always abide by the rule of screen inwards - but just that one time......... still stick by the moral of my story

I agree. I have come to peace with using my phones without because I think there is a bigger risk of me getting angry and busting my phone when i try to apply the protector than there is scrathing the screen without

Well that's the trick. The protectors are easy to damage so that you buy new ones and each time think 'phew that saved me' when in fact almost all the time there would have been no damage to the screen anyway.

I don't think the scratch would be visible even without the protector. The protector is some soft material which can get a deep cut like scratch just because its soft. I bet it wouldn't be visible on the screen if you had none either as long as the phone is in your pocket covered by jeans or whatever you have on your ass and the desk inst really made out from pure metal with sharp edges. You would sooner break it then scratch in normal case scenario.
Hello everyone. I know this has probably been a long debated thing. But I'm wondering what everyone here thinks.
Who all uses a Screen Protector like Zagg's Invisible Shield, BSE, BodyGuardz, or Clear Protector? I always have a HORRIBLE time installing them. Just tried again and it is not easy. I feel like I'd rather just go without. The screen looks and feels much better. I know the Droid has scratch resistant Gorilla Glass, but the N1 is something different. I've seen video's of it Not scratching at all during tests.. I'm worried that over time it will get little hairline scratches.
Thoughts?
Tried a few screen protectors. Hated them. I have some hairline scratches now which bothers me, BUT, the feel of the Nexus One is still irreplaceable in my personal opinion. For what it's worth, I am factoring in the low resale value of my N1 - as it is engraved with my name - and I feel that the potential value adjustment from the hairline scratches is marginal, as I really still love the look and feel of the fully exposed phone, and the hairline scratches are only visible in direct sunlight.
I hate the feel of screen protectors. but i also hate how the n1's glass feels in humid conditions (always, im from nyc) - youre finger simply doesnt slide. so i got dcmugens matte screen protector. It reduces the screen quality slighty, though everything is just as readable. but ur finger slides awesomely. also you get better visibilty in sunlight. and obviously the protection of a screen protector. i recommend.
i have a body guard. i bought it at the mall and they installed it for me. it felt like crap the first few days i played with it but now it's like i don't even know it's there.
I also use Body Guardz screen protector (just screen) I don't notice it and the surface isn't grippy like some screen protectors (invisible shield)
I can try scratching the protector and not leave marks, and its very clear.
Well I've had invisible shield and also Clear Protector.. Clear Protector are just like Zagg's but cheaper and have less orange peel look and slide better. they are on ebay..
I'm fine with using them, but the screen is amazing without one.
Who thinks the N1 is Safe to use without one?
Ive had 2 zagg protectors on mine. seems each time they install it, it end up sucking worse and worse each time, peeling, bubbles, etc etc. I like zagg because I dropped my mytouch and peeled the protector off and it was perfect. I decided to install my own zagg screen protector not going to lie the screen is awesome without it but I'd rather protect it after all the $$$$$ spent on it.
yea the job on my ipod touch, and my G1 was perfect, but I had the same Invisible shield stand by my house try twice on my N1 and it was a terrible job each time.
I have the official HTC Nexus One screen protector that is now carried in T-Mobile stores. With tax $16
using a $1 protector on my screen, saved it from 3 bad scratches so far
when it comes to screen protectors, the best ones come from china....and the cheaper the better. the ones sold here in the US are "rubbery" and your finger tends to "hang up" when sliding on the screen.
the china ones are also a cinch to put on.

and you've used those same ones. How is the durability. I've used cheaper ones that aren't invisible shield or similar brands, but they tend to get scratched much easier. Thats why I go back to the better ones.
Nope.
10 char.
Had a Hero for nearly a year without a screen protector. Carried loose in my pocket with keys etc and no scratches at all. I think we've been made paranoid after years of soft plastic resistive touchscreens.
No screen protector on the N1 for me.
None. I treat my phones like crap, and when its ready to die, Ill just get the next best thing.
I think its ridiculous how people put on screen protectors and large cases. It takes away the feeling of the phone.
I used to do the screen protector thing but when they started to peel or grab my finger, I diecided to not use them anymore. Been few months and my screen is good as the day I pulled it out of the box.
Edit: I do keep mine in the Google sleeve when its not in use.
poll please
I ordered the Tuneband to work out with and it came with a screen protector... went on super easy and its actually not too bad at all... i have no gripes with it at all
no need! this isn't an iphone... ive had this thing since launch and not a single scratch ANYWHERE... my iphone scratched the 2nd day I had it... got a new screen on it and scratched again... nexus is the most durable phone ive ever owned and I love that it doesn't need extra crap to protect it.

The moshi ivisor that they sell (or at least used to sell) in ATT stores is a great option in my opinion.
it's matte finish and super easy to install. also, it's completely reusable, so you can take it off, wash it, and reapply. I have one and i only use it when i feel i need a screen protector. when i don't, I just take it off and store it on a sheet of wax paper. the adhesive is kind of a gel that never loses its holding power. it's a neat design, as there is no adhesive under the actual screen part, just the border around it; so there is a tiny air gap between the protector in the screen. even with that though, it's still perfectly responsive.
only problem is that it's a bit spendy, but seeing as you can reuse it as many times as you like, i feel it is totally worth the price.

Do these matte screen protectors not make the screen look greasy as hell? I got a matte screen protector once because I like the look, but it made the screen look terrible and wasn't worth it.

Hello XDA,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a good Anti-Glare screen protector that does not distort image quality? I saw one at the AT&T store but reading the reviews, they stated that the white became "hazy." I not too sure whether I want my whites to be "hazy" since the screen looks great itself. I use my phone alot and would like to extend the battery life so I would dim the brightness to the lowest point, thus in sunlight, it is EXTREMELY hard to see. I was wondering maybe a anti-glare screen would help me see my screen better. Whats your opinion?
BTW! I have a WHITE skyrocket. Would the anti-glare screen make it look grey?
Oh yeah, and Im not a fan of how the invisible shield feels. It gets very sticky and rough. Also turns yellow after some time like my macbook pro. I had it shielded and it turned yellow at the mousepad and hand rest area.
Yeah anti glare sucks. Dont get them. Distorts the image badly. Atleast the att ones do

Anyone recommendations on a good anti-glare screen protector? I been searching around and havent really found any thats considered good.. Really need one.. Really hard to see with the display brightness all the way down in the sun.. and the battery doesnt last as long as I need it to..
Thinking about getting the power skin battery pack but I heard bad reviews. Also my phone is white so it would look awful, i think.
Also I'd avoid the "iVisor" Screen protector which ATT sells. It has black "Masks" on the top and bottom. This would be fine except that a few parts of the silver "Samsung" writing at the bottom show through where the clear button areas are.

BodyGuardz HD Anti-Glare Screenguardz. I just got them in the mail and put one on the screen of my phone. It's easy to install. I can watch a movie in the sunlight without much bother. The image distortion is negligible unless you like shoving the screen an inch away from your face. It is very clear.
I wanted something with anti-glare since I tried using one of the ZAGG protectors and, while it was scratch proof, it still glared and gave my screen the texture of an orange peel.
The BodyGuardz protector is perfect for me and while it is not scratch proof, it will protect your screen. (besides they send you 2 protectors instead of the 1 normally sold by other brands)
So many different kind of anti-glare screen protectors.. I hope a decent one surfaces soon.. If not ill just settle for whichever is around.. Also if Samsung doesnt fix our screens with the lines in them, I'd say the best thing to do for me is to cover it up with the anti-glare screen protector so I wouldnt notice it much. lol.
Kind of sad though. But I guess tricking yourself is better than noticing it everyday. No?
anyone have used this can get a review?

Just picked up the white moshi anti- glare from the ATT store. I previously had Ghost Armor on and I prefer this one. Good touch response and good out in daylight and movies still look crisp enough. But the antiglare does refract light coming up from the screen a bit, trade off for light refraction hitting your screen from the top.
I had the Moshi iVisor for the Galaxy SII and it was very nice. However, I have seen/read that it covers part of the "SAMSUNG" at the bottom of the phone.
I liked it, but at times it was a little too thick. It just felt like all of my taps didn't register.
But if you don't mind cutting off some of the lettering, this would be a good means of protection.
They fixed the Samsung lettering on the white one, no longer shows through. Plus on the white skyrocket, it helps limit the led bleed through in the home keys.
Personally, I find the texture smooth and responsive. Didn't like the orange peel of the ghost armor. After a couple of days, I do notice the distortion when watching movies... wish the skyrocket HD had come out sooner.

Moshi finally has some white anti glare screen protectors. You have to get them at the At&t store online though and they are $25 :-(
SO anyone with Bodyguardz HD Anti-Glare can recommend it ? I bought the Bestskinsever one and the glare is crazy compared to the screen with out the SP. So shopping around for the Anti-Glare one right now. IS BZ-HSSK-1111 any good ?
Realook and SGP both make very good screen protectors - I personally use SGP myself and it does not distort image quality in any way, while simultaneously having a good glassy feel.
I have the Moshi anti glare (black) on my Skyrocket from the AT&T store. It does distort the screen and causes my eyes to go wacky after a while. I can't endorse it at all.
XO Skins?
Just ordered screen protectors from XO Skins. It's a wet apply protector that some co-workers of mine recommend. Anybody use them? They claim to not have the orange peel look and will fill in or hide some existing scratches. My Skyrocket has a small vertical scratch that's annoying me.

Ghost armor quality wet apply skin for a buck! I think two full bodys are like 5 or ten still a good deal.
