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 all,
I recently bought a "Google Nexus One Circle Patterned Soft Plastic Case " and an "BW UltraClear PDA S/P (Google Nexus One)" screen protector from Brando.
I have bought several screen protectors from this company and was always very happy with the quality thus I decided to give them a try for my brand new phone.
My impressions:
The case is great, design is nice and matches the color of the nexus one perfectly. Holes are included for all important things like docks, second mic, flash etc...
Since it's made out of silicone it has a better grip without sacrificing too much of the look and size.
The screen protector is of good quality and you can barely see it. As I thought, it's not really helping the fingerprints. Just like the screen of the Nexus one, you'll have to wipe it once in a while...
The overall experience : What really disappoints me is the fact that Brando didn't try out both together. The problem is that the case covers a little bit the screen and the screen protector covers the whole screen.
This causes both protections to overlap each other and in the end it's always the case which wins. The screen protection is lifted by the case, causing a bubble around the edge(s) --> You can't read stuff at the edges of the screen + dust can infiltrate. You have to lift the cover above the screen protection to correct the situation.
After one and a half day of using them I decided to cut about 1,5 mm off the side of the screen protector the stop this. It's way better now but the screen protector doesn't stick perfectly to the screen anymore.
My conclusion
Both protections are of good quality, specially the case. For 21$ including shipping its a fair price. It's just a pity that Brando didn't test out their stuff. Make sure you cut the screen protection BEFORE you put in on your screen to reduce fingerprints, and keep the protector as adhesive as possible.
PS: I wanted to upload some pictures but my account still has to be approved by a mod.
What's a good screen protector?
gorilla glass,so don't need it
btw the best screen protector is by BRANDO
Even with Gorilla Glass i would want one for anti-glare and anti-fingerprint measures.
There are many conflicting reports on the web re the screen, where does it state that it has Gorilla Glass.
Wrapsol, Google it or YouTube it..

lg italy on twitter.
nah, my opinion would be don't use any screen protector. the screen already has a stereoscopic film w/c makes the display a bit pale. so putting on a screen protector might affect the viewing quality more... been using mine for some time now and still doesn't have a single scratch on the screen(*crossing fingers)...
So now that the phone is released who is going to be putting screen protectors on them and does anyone know what the best method is for putting a screen protector on.
I have a screen protector on mine (don't trust the phone yet, nor do i have a whole lot of trust in myself). 3D still works great and the 2D viewing experience is, in practice, unaffected. Installation depends on the kind of screen protector you are going to use.

How did you put your screen protector on?
Well, i just put it on.
It's a PIXXENO C82RS (crystal clear, no adhesive). The only difficulty is aligning the screen protector properly since you'll notice even half a milimeter. Besides that you should pay close attention to dust since you would notice that as well beneath the protector. But it's relatively thick and easy to apply without airbubbles.
I'm looking to get a nice screen protector for mine too. btw, so happy with this phone! everyone I show is blown away by the 3d! usually saying "I thought it would be a gimmick but thats really good!"
For my wifes iphone I just got a generic screen protector and used a drop of water to apply and a baby's plastic spoon (solid but soft enough not to scrach/mark the plastic) to push any bubbles out.
Brando ultra clear screen protector became available few days ago - I've just ordered one.
Currently I have Proporta's universal 4.5" protector. It's better than nothing, but I feel it's too thick and doesn't adhere completely to the screen at the edges. (I know 4.5" is different than O3D's nominal 4.3" screen diagonal, but the protector almost perfectly covers the screen + keys, everything except upper area with front camera.)
I bought screen protector for Samsung Galaxy S, it perfectly fits the Optimus P920 screen, i only cut about 1-2cm at the bottom. The whole screen of P920 and touch buttons is covered, its really perfectly fits to Optimus 3D
I bought two packed pieces of it for about 6,50€ .
Just applied Brando ultra clear protector to the screen. Very happy with it, it's nearly 100% transparent.
Naturally I hate putting on screen protector or cases on my phone. I came from SGS to O3D and I didn't need a screen protector (a real gorilla ). Unfortunately I have seen some little scratches on my O3D . It looks like I will be parting with this phone sooner
Even with Gorilla Glass i would want one for anti-glare and anti-fingerprint measures.

gorilla glass only goes so much if you have, for example, specks of sand in your pocket or if the phone falls in gravel/tarmac..
Screec Protectors FTW
Could anyone recommand a good (tested!) screen protection that have the properties of anti-glare and anti-fingerprint? Some ebay links?
I´m using EXIM screen protectors: http://shop.eximstyle.com/ quality is good, price is cheap and fitment is perfect.

I have theese in my TOMTOM navigator, 3 different phone, DSLR Cameras etc..
I'm not sure if i'm the only one who has this issue, but the Vikuiti DQC160 screen protector is affecting touch sensitivity on my One S, particularly on the top of the screen, and occasionally on the bottom. I often find myself unable to pull down the notification bar which is very frustrating. However, i have no problems with the rest of the screen. So after 2 weeks of using it, i decided to peel off the film and never encounter the same problem ever again.
It's such a pity because other than the touch problem, the screen protector is basically awesome. The fit was perfect as it was cut by laser. The film is from 3M and it's crystal clear. Applying it was a breeze too, even a noob like me could put it on without any bubbles. The only problem is that it is relatively thick, which could be the reason why it was affecting the touch sensitivity.
I guess the problem is only with the DQC160, other models should be fine as i've read many good reviews about Vikuiti films, and previously i was a very satisfied user of the Vikuiti ADQC27 on my Nexus S, which i why i bought the screen protector for my One S without hesitation.
Anyone else encounter similar problems before?
Kind of like having sex with a condom on.
Hello,
I prefer black faced phones, but recently received an almost new white Moto X pure (XT1575) as a gift. An exchange is not viable, as there is no receipt (and it was used a few hours for compatibility testing).
I've seen colored (non-display face area) glass screen protectors for other phones, and thought it would be a great option to turn the face black/darker, but haven't been able to find any for the Moto X pure. Do any such products exist?
I don't know any of those "colored glass screen protectors", but you can use skins from the following companies (might have more, but i only know these):
DBrand
Slickwraps
Stickerboy
Skinomi
If those skin makers don't have you covered get used to white I tried nearly all screen protectors trying to find one that did not halo and none had colored parts. Also pleson is the one I got that stuck to my phone without much of a halo...
The only glass screen protector for this phone like that is from Tranesca which you can find on Amazon. However it will not cover the white face completely (which is obvious when you see the pictures). They have white and black colors but are designed to help the screen protector "blend" and be less noticeable. Another strange caveat: it is a floating glass with the adhering part bring the areas where the white or black is.
I personally use the black one on a black face and it works OK.
Not worth the hassle, but if you must...

This. It's the closest thing to what you're looking for, but it doesn't cover the I/O area at the top of the face of the device, so it'll still obviously be a white phone. Also, the transparent areas for the proximity sensors on the bottom will probably look a little odd too.
That said, I tried the Trancesca screen protector, but ultimately wasn't happy with it because the mask actually cuts off the far edges of the screen, so you may have to turn the phone to see text that is too close to the edge. Also, it just doesn't feel as good as a conventional glass protector that adheres fully to the screen. Tapping one's thumb against it, it just feels plasticky and unsatisfying. For that reason, I've given up on tempered glass protectors altogether for this phone and am completely happy except for the fact that the TPU I'm using has a massive lip that is no longer compensated for. Still, the viewing angles gained are worth the compromise. Just don't scratch your screen.

Thank you for elaborating on this. It took some getting used to this screen protector because of the kind of plastic feel you describe. The blocking of text is pretty rare for me so I just deal with it since I prefer to have my screen protected from scratches. I live near beaches and with sand being common place, it is worth the little bit of hassle. All glass screen protectors I have owned have scratched, but none of my devices' screens have any. The only other glass options either leave noticeable halos or are just shy of the edge of the viewable screen (which leaves a noticeable line in field of vision), which to me are both annoying as I consistently notice them.
