I am asking because I noticed that the new screen is not as sensitive as previous ones (currently using it with factory film over front panel) and you do need to press harder, some finger gestures not working well.
On the other hand, this screen is supposed to be very durable due to new technology, so maybe no need to use screen protector at all ?
If you want scratch your screen while using your device, then you can just use your Diamond without the screen protection....

It depends also on the quality of your screen protection...
Is one needed? Well thats a matter of taste?
Is the included HTC one any good? Yes its excellent. Applies easily and is very clear... however it scratches very easily. This is no reflection on the actual screen of the Diamond itself, as it would take an awful lot more to scratch the actual screen.
the screen is excellent. much more responsive than on the other devices I've had, and yet I never used a screen protector on my universal or my athena. I wouldn't consider not using a screen protector as the diamond has been a bit of a scuff magnet, despite me keeping it in a leather case. I'm hoping backs for the device will be easy to come by!
you silly if you dont use a protector on this device imho
Of course without screen protector! I'm using touch screens 5 years now...SonyEricsson P800 era...till now none of my devices have been scratched!
Also the usability sucks big time with screen protectors!
If HTC really believed the Diamond can survive without a screen protector, why is one supplied inside the original package ?
Depends on your usage I suppose.
With my last 6-8 phones, I've never used any screen protection or even case and none of them got any scractch.
I always put my phone in my shirt/pants pocket, never in the same pocket with keys or coins.
With the Diamond, I only put the screen protecter only because HTC provided it. If they didn't give me one, I wouldn't even bother buying one. (Yes, still no scratch with my original HTC protector as well)
agree with techdave I have had 5 phones and I try to immediately cover it with screen protector, one time I waited for abit and end up have a scuff mark from something. As the saying goes 'sh*t happens' so why risk damaging your phone especially a beautiful one. I actually ordered one for the back too now, I really dont see it affecting the screen as some people say but they prob got some thicker cheap ones that prob will affect it.
I think of it this way, when I come to sell the phone all i have to do is remove the protectors and it will be good as new!
oh and I sold 4 of them with no complains of wear or tear!
It truly depends what kind of person you are. If your the kind that doesn't care about there Diamond and throws it everywhere then you need a protector. But if your the neat kind that his heart rips out when you see a scratch your probably are not going to need a protector,its really up to you
I really need it with my diamond.
never needed it with my touch
but this screen scratches soooo fasstt..
it looks better without,
but this is better then with scratches
The factory shipped screen protector for the Diamond is EXCELLENT. I hated these before and on all my other models I have not used them or removed them after a day. The diamond on is different - you just do not notice it is there. Therefore, my advice - use it!
Anyone fine the supplied HTC protector scratches the screen real easily?
Ive had my diamond for no more than 2 weeks and I have 3 fine scratches already. At £9.99 a pair for thes protectors, it isnt cheap.
the oem diamond screen protector does scratch easily...(the actual protector not the phone) once ive had my use out of the oem protector im going to use a martin fields protector as i hear they are the best.
Just stuck the screen protector on and I have the say it is really good. I managed to get it on perfect no bubbles at all. A few of my friends didn't even notice the screen protector was on. so far so good no scratches yet only had it on for 1 day.

I dispositioned a corner by 1mm on side, that resulted in a nasty unglued stripe there about 2-3 mm wide ... now looking for something really sharp to cut that mm off
It seems that many people believe that the diamond screen is more immune toward scratches, because it is protected by tempered glass.
The truth is that on top of the tempered glass, there is the touch surface, which is much less resistant to scratches than tempered glass (so it's touch surface => tempered glass = > lcd screen).
actually, the touch surface is below the plexiglas. that's why you have to press so hard. it's a resisitve touch surface, so you can see that it only interacts if you actually press the plexiglas so hard that it bends.
plexiglas can be very hard, but because the touch surface is resistive, they had to use soft plexiglas which is not scratch resistant at all.
anyway, I had a screen protector on my diamond and yesterday it somehow fell off the table. And a SCRATCH aaargghh! wait! it's only on the screen protector!
So I'd say you definitely need one.
Hi guys,
I am buying a sgn 10.1. But i was wondering if a screenprotector will decrease the accuracy and effectiveness of the spen.
Anyone some experience on this part ?
Cause i cant stand scratches on screens so was thinking of adding a protector but dont want the funcionality to decrease!
thx!
I don't think that it would, maybe at worst some loss in pressure sensitivity occurs (so you have less than 1024 levels), due to the 1mm or however thick the screen protector is.
l don't think you will lose any sensitivity because the pen uses magnetic inductance to operate which is why the pen does not need batteries.
l have a screen protector on my phone which is the small version of this tablet and there was no difference when the screen protector was applied. I am waiting for Samsung torelease their official screen protector in the UK for my 10.1 Note.
Don't buy Zagg or any like it
Just be sure not to buy a Zagg.
Bought one the same day as the Note at BestBuy.
Screen protector is so sticky you won't be able to use the pen at all.
I won't slide on the screen, and it won't register correctly.
It has nothing to do with the "cure" time, left the protector in for 2 days, same results.
Zagg is flexible and rubber like, will render the pen useless.
Buy a "static" type of screen protector, they are almost not flexible at all.
It's working perfectly now that I have it.
Under the "accessories" part of the forum you should be able to find several on Amazon.
Avoid ZAGG!!!

haha yeah, I pulled it off my tablet pc and cut it to size. it fits and works perfectly! i have one scratch on that thing after hard abuse and that was from dropping a knife on it
i regularly leave my keys sitting on top of the protected screen actually.
the back plate of the note 10.1 is terribly soft though, I have lots of micro scratches on it and I've been taking pretty good care of it.

Lol Now that is one tough mudder
I have the anti-glare screenprotector.
It vworks fine with the Spen, accept that the pen actually scratches the protector.... I think I need somthing stronger.
I tried to see if WhiteShield has one, but only for the Tab. I sent them a request message for the Note.....we'll see.
What is anyone else using, and does your Spen scratch the protector?
Thanks

Try using the CLEAR spen nib you found in your Note 10.1 box on the screen protector. It should slide easier.
I only use screen protectors for wacom from strongengineering.com. Unless they have changed their formula the screen protectors always have a nice paper feel. I simply love it. You can feel and hear the resistance of the nib when the cover is brand new. After a time and a lot of cross hatching and drawing it smooths out a bit. This is my very personal preference. I can't stand smooth glass-like screen protectors for drawing.
My position on screen protectors is this:
With the quality and hardness of the plastic coatings on most decent Android devices in the last 3 years, a screen protector can only be a net *downgrade* in terms of scratch-resistance and screen quality.
Scratches (and often fingerprints) will show up more on a screen protector than on the bare screen because a screen protector is usually less hard than the screen itself. This will particularly be the case with a pen stylus (ie one with a fine tip, as opposed to a capacitive stylus) which won't scratch the bare screen (because it's hardened) but will over time create wear marks in a screen protector in "high traffic" parts of the screen.
Granted, having the screen protector means that once the scratches all over it get too much, you can just pull it off (and replace it). And that is indeed the point of a screen protector. But I'd rather not have dullness from scratch marks all over my screen protector to begin with. It's a bit like the people who have plastic covers on their couches so they don't get stained. It ruins the whole point of having a nice couch surface. Reminds me of the quote "life is not a dress rehearsal". You may as well benefit from your scratch-resistant hardened plastic screen now rather than cover it, saving it for a day in the future that never comes.
All that said, some screen protectors are better than others and there are probably decent ones around. And there's nothing wrong with having a protective cover on the *back* or edges of your device, since this isn't a crucial operative part of the device.
There's no possible way a screen protector can negatively affect the way the pen works, as it's based on an electromagnetic field. So maybe if it were a metallic screen protector it would be an issue. The "grippiness" of a screen protector could be a problem though. Some are grippy and some not. Grippy ones like Zagg will render the pen practically unusable.
I just got the iq shield screen protector. It installed really well but now I'm finding as I type it isn't as smooth as without the protector. It just seems like it doesn't pick up everything now. The iq shield is "liquid skin" it's not very thick. Any ideas or has anyone else had this issue?
Pretty much all of the wet protectors have this issue. They feel rubbery and has issues with typing and sensitivity.
So what's really weird is yesterday after I installed the screen protector I had touch Sensitivity issues but now today after the screen protector has settled in I'm having no issues. I got this screen protector. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=151821893879&alt=web
I use Spigen , No issues.
http://www.spigen.com/products/galaxy-s6-edge-plus-screen-protector-curved-crystal
I use amFilm and no issues either...
Ya i really like this one now that it's settled. I had the skinomi first but i didnt like it it felt to much like rubber.
Hello.
I'm going to review the screen protector and the case I recently received.
I'd like to say that I'm very happy with it, It's very high quality and is sold for a very affordable price.
Lets start with the screen protector, It's from the company named Mocolo, which is a brand in China, it makes high quality screen protectors that even after falling for many times, stay intact, at least from my experience.
Once you open the package, it looks like this:
In the left side you can find tools to help you apply your new screen protector.
On the right side you'll find your screen protector together with stickers to help you, once again apply your screen protector with no bubbles.
Its fairly easy to apply the screen protector and there's almost a guarantee you'll have no bubbles, It's that easy.
Once you have the screen protector on your screen, you won't feel any change, it feels great and scratch resistant, mine still looks brand new.
Final Verdict - 5/5
Link to purchase, notice you'll be buying 2pcs, keep one for spare because this is the official shop, don't buy somewhere else.

Case review:
The case is made of 2 parts, one is TPU and the other one is Plastic.
It increases the size of the phone and makes the phone 25-30% bulkier and a little heavier, But you get much better protection, feels like "Otterbox" for less then 5$.
The case is actually for Mi4i meaning the IR Is blocked, which is no issue for me but might be for you, If you are planning to use it.
No issues with connections otherwise, everything else looks and works perfectly.
The buttons are a little bit hard to press, you get used to it but its worth mentioning.
You can see in the pictures how the case looks all around:
A key feature this case has is a stand in the back of it, its made of plastic.
Once you use the stand, you can secure it so it doesn't move , its done very easily and feels steady.
You get 2 different views angle, one around 75 degrees and the other one I estimate is 165 degrees.
Both look great as you can see in the picture, I think its an important feature to have.
Attaching pictures of the viewing angles:
Final Verdict - 4/5

Great shop, fast shipment, wide selection of colors and fair price. Recommended!
Thanks for looking, you are welcome to ask questions.
How's the oleophobic coating on this screen protector? Do fingerprints and smudge disappear with ease or can you see the fingerprint/smudge marks very noticeably?
I have a Nillkin Amazing H+ on my Mi4c, but it's not oleophobic at all and the resistance when sliding your finger is unbelievable. I think I got a fake one.
Can you use edge tap in that case?
Hmmm
I don't have the case anymore, I don't think you can use tap edge with it.
Regarding the screen protector it looks great and usually keeps fingerprints away.
I have this case and i'd say that this is not comfortable, especially when you put it in the pocket because of back cover.
I don't know. I like it, I recommend it.
I just got a glass screen protector for my phone, not the same brand as yours.
But the problem I have is that the touch sensitivity has changed with it on. Harder to wake the phone and doesn't register light touches when I use the keyboard etc.
Anyone on here had that kind of problem?
Just get the mocolo one, the cheaper once have this issue but the mocolo doesn't.

I got a new protector that works a lot better. No bad touch or anything.
This is the one I got:

Sliding my finger on the display feels a bit weird and I was wondering whether this might be because of the stock screen protector?
Has anyone remove the screen protector and does it change the tactile and visual quality of the display in any way?
As far as I remember when I was using the default screen protector I had no problem at all. In fact I never had problem in touch response or display quality with any of the different screen protectors I used. I used the original one and 3 or 4 different brands so far.
I just wish add that the factory provided screen "protector" hardly provides any protection. It is extremely thin and even a single grain of sand can cut deep enough to scratch the screen underneath.
Second, there is no difference with or without the protector in terms of display quality or touch.
Third, I currently use a third party protector and am not facing any touch issues.
