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...

HELP!! So I was taking off my bodyguardz screen protector when....

I was peeling off my bodyguardz screen protector to put on a new one, and the darn thing was so stuck to my screen it took a lot of force to peel it off. As I was pulling it away I noticed that my "screen" seemed to be lifted off my HTC fuze!! After I kept pealing I noticed from the side that there was a film that was peeling off that had adhesive to the screen with the body guardz. I'm too scared to proceed and have left my phone that way.. my question is there a protective film (not counting any sort of screen protector even the one that comes with the fuze) on top of the screen, and that was what was peeling off? Is that film important for the touch screen itself aside from protecting it (or does it keep some part of the screen in place etc etc).
Thanks in advance, the screen does turn on and is still touch sensitive but I'm too scared to peel off the rest of the body guardz that have that "film" come off with it.

Someone removed that and lost their touchscreen so be scared IMHO.

aaahhhhh can you link me to that post? I tried doing a search, I cant separate that film from the bodyguardz either... =(

I think it is the digitizer that is comming off, or part of it anyways... the only thing I could find online is this

Hello again
So
After giving it a lot of thought, i decided to disasamble my phone to see if i can get rid of that stain. I have to say that it was a bit difficult to folow the guide but i finaly opened my cruise.
In the end i realised where was my problem.
The digitizer has 2 components:
A glass layer witch is on the bottom, and a plastic one (on top) witch are keppt together by twosided adhesive tape.
The "stain" was caused by the plastic layer, witch for some reason wasn't staying straight (it had a small bump...).
I figured this out when i pealed this layer from the glass one, witch i shouldn't have done because the layer has a connection with the glass and the small ribbon witch goes into the mb.
So for any of you, if you encounter my problem, better let it that way, cause the alternative will be a new digitizer.
I'll go to the htc service in romania to see how much will they charge me for a new one, and if the amount is to much, i'll try to order one from the web(altho not that many companies ship to my country )
Wish me luck.
LE: I have a question thow
How can you remove the digitizer from the casing ?
I tryed to pull it but i was afraid to damage something (else).

Heres a link to the picture the guy with the polaris took... the HTC black bordered part is still on the screen but there is a film sitting on top of it thats peeling off with the bodyguardz.
This is a cruise polaris and not a raphael but I think this post is referencing the same thing. Does anyone have any advice to give me? My phone is still sitting there with half of the "digitizer" peeled off stuck to the bodyguardz grrrrrrr

bump...........

That has happened to me as well. I'm afraid you'll just have to get another digitizer off ebay.

ughhh!! any help on the assembly?

Spray some of the liquid that came with it on the touchscreen (underneath the bodyguardz screen protector; spray little by little or use your finger) and it should come off with a little less effort without tearing out the screen. That's what I did. Btw, make sure you turn off your phone and dry it before you turn it back on if you do that

[Q] Screen Imperfection!

I just ordered a used S5 Active, and I noticed a small imperfection on the top right of the screen. I tried to scratch it off with my fingernail, and it wouldn't, so I assumed it was a chip out of the glass.
However, then I applied a glass screen protector, and it looks like this (see attached picture). So it doesn't seem to be a depression, it seems to be something actually on the screen. Any idea what it could be or how to get rid of it so that I don't have this annoying bubble?

disassemble will be the only solution for cleaning this bit i think ... in Egypt we have unofficial centres which fix these issues especially for phone like grand 2 which has a tft panel makes a bubble in the middle of the screen when using a glass screen protector

i have a full adhesive tempered glass screen protector

So my idea worked and i now have a full adhesive screen protector. Covers from edge to edge and there is no halo effect. The protector is on good and does not peel/pop out. I am using a unicorn beetle pro full body case and no problems. Before the case would pop out the protector but not anymore.

What exactly was your idea?
How did you manage this? (For the people that haven't been keeping up with your posts, such as myself.)

Did you use LOCA or OCA film?
Sent from my Galaxy Note7 using Tapatalk

so much detail. so much wow. i wish there was more information, like, what you used, how you did it, instead of a brag post. thanks for the pictures though!

One of his older posts discussed using LOCA. If you use LOCA, how do you get it off if you ever want to remove the screen protector?

Yes I used LOCA glue. To take it off you just heat it. It should be easier to remove than when replacing the digitizer.

I got a couple air bubbles though but id rather have that than a scratched up screen lol

Interesting.... but more info on how to do it and what products to use would be great. Thanks OP.

I was just thinking about if this was a solution two days ago, but this is exciting news that its worked. My question is, is the LOCA a problem to handle, because i could see using too much might have some go into the speakers or just seep from the borders. when originally applied. and is there a way to make sure we don't get bubbles?

Yea i got a little on the speaker but you just have to be care full and as it seeps kut clean it with a rag. The good thing is that it wont dry until you put the black light on it. The part you have to be the most carefull with is the home button. Loca will make it sticky and a little harder to press. I also reccoment you get a protector that is completely clear as the one i got has black on the top and bottom and it prevents the black light from drying the glue under those areas. Clean the screen good. To avoid bubbles look at youtube and see how they apply it. Basically a stick figure but instead of a head it is a y shape. Carefully place the protector and let is slowly spread on its own. Once it stoos spreading then you could slowly press down on it and remove the remaining bubbles. I lined uo thw home and back buttons first and made sure the cut outs were aligned for the camera and sesors. Then i applied the black light on the bottom half furst so that it would align properly. I did this while pressing down on it because the air bubbles kept coming up. I also covered up the top half so that wouldnt dry up. Oncw i got the bottom i got rid of any air bubbles on the top half and did the same. After that i put the phone in a box., close it up, do a cut out for the black light to fit and let it sit for a couple minutes to dry more. Then i cleaned and dried the edges. Make sure not to leave too much of the loca in between the screen and protector so you wont get touch senaitivity issues. And do it where there is no dust. I oly got 1 small air bubble but some like white spots that appear to be dust. And again clean the speaker, home button, sensors, and camera before drying. You could also just scrape it off with a plastic blade that the loca came with. And make sure to use liquid version and not the film.

What screen protector are you using?

i've tried silicon-gel(wet metod) didnt like the texture (look like alot of mini bubbles easily scratched. (also doesn't protect the front camera) btw i order Back lens glass protector for that
today ive applied 3D glass (figured out glue only on the edges) didnt know S10E got edges its feel like the screen is abit on the air and sometimes touch missing
i search for regular plastic flim but kind find those anymore
also cant find flat glass for S10E (i guess the corners will not be protected if there's such thing)
what to you use,
thanks

I'm still using the stock plastic protector, as i heard the tempered glass ones mess a lot with touch sensibility.
You can get replacement stock plastic ones from Samsung store : https://www.samsung.com/fr/mobile-accessories/screen-protector-s10e/

Yup. TG = 'tempered glasses' do mess with sensitivity. But not all TG have the same issues. But suppose you find yourself with a TG that causes the issue you mentioned. Simply go to settings and increase screen sensitivity. Problem solved. At the end of the day, the stock PP = 'plastic protector' is samsungs way of helping you keep your device unprotected => damage => need of a new phone from the same company => samsung => takes more of your money => repeat. I do not recommend the stock PP.

The stock protector which came out of the box. Works perfectly for me. I was actually pleasently surprised it came with a protector to begin with.

Hi, a little late to the party. Anybody still here?
Apparently S10e comes new with a screen protector already install'd. I can sort of see it when looking at a corner. I would like to replace it with something that has an anti-glare matte finish. But I'm afraid of causing scratches or worse damage when removing the stock protector. How did you remove yours? (Any advise will be appreciated, thanks.)
