Screen Protectors

Hi Peep,
I am wanting to get a screen protector for my exec, does anyone know what the best protector are? I herd Martin Fields one were is the right?

Martin Fields, generally, are very good. You should also look at Brando. I have ordered one from www.expansys.com so should know by the weekend if it is any good.

Brando ultra clear are the best
The brando ultra clear protectors are the best.
I use the ones for the fujitsu Siemens Loox 720 they have the same screensize and fit perfectly!

Is this the Brando version: http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=125510
Maybe I'm blind, but expansys don't seem to show the make of their accessories in some cases.

For me, on Screen of my olds P800, P900, P910i, JAM and now on screen and cammeras of my JASJAR, I have a Martin's Field Overlay. In my opinion is the best screen protector.
Have Fun.

Do any of the above provide anti-glaring?

I have just installed a www.proporta.com screen protector. Absolutely brilliant.
On my XDA IIs it was good for the entire duration until I sold it recently.

Does it fit the screen perfectly? Some screen protectors leave a bit of space for easy replacement, but I prefer it to be exact.

tight fit, took 3 attempts to get right

The Expansys screen protector seems okay. Took a few goes but bubbles were less problematic than I expected. But using a sellotape to remove dust etc that has stuck to the sticky layer did not work as well on the Brando/Martin Fields protectors I have tried for other devices. It seems a bit thicker than other screen protectors I have used. Not sure I'll be keeping it though.

Thanks everyone.

FWIW, I emailed expansys a couple of times about the PocketPcTechs "WriteShield" anti-glare screen protecors and (eventually :? ) got a kinda curt reply with these 2 links:
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=127386&asource=119353
this is the anti glare one
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=125510&asource=119353
this is the normal one

I've got a PPcTechs AG shield on my XDAIIs - the difference over some of the others I've tried is amazing! No bubbles ,very smooth to write on and seriously impressive AG wise, diffusing even strong light sources. They are expensive, and it is about 1mm narrower & shorter than the screen but I'm not settling for anything less for my Exec.
HTH

MY bro just wasted money on a Martin Fields protector as a pressie - fifteen quid including postage.
Not only was it incredibly finicky to take off the adhesive covering (all three of us came to the conclusion that they'd forgotten to add the covering before I took a surgical blade to it as a last resort) but I find it impossible to put on without bubbles, therefore my screen looks awful with it attached. Just dumped it in the bin there now. Just be careful folks, these things are a pain in the arse to attach perfectly, even for someone who paints eyes onto 1" high lead models!
I had to ask myself what's the point? The screen closes inwards for gods sake. Just gonna occasionally use my glasses cloth on it...

i've got the expansis ones and they fit A ok

All you need is one tiny piece of grit, picked up by static or from your pocket, trapped under the stylus. You'll instantly feel it cut into the plastic as you drag it across the screen. All over in a fraction of a second, and your resale value through the floor.

I'll put up with that - figure it's replacement in one year will cost about £100 to £150 with contract, so that'll be most of that coevered, even with a slightly less than pristine screen.

I just got my Brando screen protector today, and while it is clear, it is way too thick. I have to put a lot more pressure on with the stylus to get it to register, i'm going to have to chuck this one and get a thinner one.

Hello Everybody,
I live in madrid and there doesn't seem to be any available screen protector at the monent as the QTEK 9000 in Spanish was just released late november.
I heard that the screen protector of the HP6340 will suffice. Is this true? Are the screen's same size? If not, which older model PDA has same dimensions as the Universal?

Buy it on proporta.com i did it is great, i already had one with my BA and they are perfect.

Will you bother with a screen protector/case?

As the title suggests. I know it has reinforced gorilla glass but I will still be wary of picking up scratches even though I'm sure the phone can handle most things thrown at it. I am just not comfortable with spending so much cash without putting a screen cover on for that extra peace of mind.
I was not aware of how strong gorilla glass is until I saw someone jabbing their galaxy s2 screen with stanley knife on youtube recently.
I also have a gel case for my SG2 and I have never dropped it in the year that I've had it but I just feel that when buying something at first, you need to take that bit of 'extra' care of it - does anyone else feel this way?

case definitely, screen protector never

I always order an cheap ass TPU case from ebay. That works good.

Looking at some clips on Youtube, then no, i don't think i'll bother with a screen protector, but yes for me for a case, not dropped my Desire in the 20+ months i've had it, but you never know.

Do you remember any clips in particular? I'm still not convinced about the gorilla glass - although I want to be, simply because I HATE applying screen protectors -_-

This one makes me think i won't bother with protector........turn the volume down though.

Just a leather pouch, no screen protector. Don't really like cases, they make the phone HUGE (and it's already big.. ).

Definitely, I like to keep my phones as clean/new looking as possible.

I'll get a leather slip pouch as I have with my desire s and iPhone 3g before it. The HTC ones are really nice quality.
I'm unsure about screen protector, I have one on my desire s but never drop it and gorilla glass looks very resistant

i have got a sudden urge to get out a kitchen knife and give it a go on my sg2! but ill resist

Yes to both! I've had my SGS2 for nearly a year in May, I've not dropped it heavily but last week I was caseless and big drop from my hands and got two nasty dents on the bezel and scratches on the back plastic! Will learn my lesson and never take it out caseless again! I was horrified when I saw them
The white version will only show dents more than the grey/black version!

I'm incredibly obsessive about protecting anything I spend more than £100 on.
So, yeah.. Soft case and screen protector for me.

I'm going for a nice pouch, I don't like the added weight and seize of a case.

They'd have to be amazing for the price they cost.

I don't think I'll bother with either initially, the phone's large enough without adding more to it. Might invest in a rubber cover when I get bored of the stock white colour later on.

[Q]Best BUDGET Screen protector

Hey everyone, I couldn't figure out whether this should be in QnA or Accessories, but I figured it should be here.
Anyway, is there any known brands that do screen protectors, but at a reasonable price.
I know about ZiggZagg etc, but spending £15 on a screen protector to me is ludacrus, they come off/start peeling after not so long, so I couldn't imagine paying that for 1!.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated !!!

Umm... the One X has gorilla glass? You don't need a screen cover. That's like trying to wear a sock over your shoe to protect it from the ground....

1 - Its nothing like trying to wear a sock over a shoe thats a stupid analogy
2 - I would of liked a suggestion thanks.

Actually i just ordered the dynaflo hard shield, but i've search for other screen protectors in case it won't be as good as i thought.
I came across skinomi screen protector wich look pretty great and covers almost the entire screen...it cost around 12$ (i dunno what's your budget but i think its pretty cheap..) here's a video about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otwcex1_uJg

Hense I want a screen protector.
CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND ONE ?!?!?!

I would stay clear of SGP ultra oleophobic...
Its nearly impossible to install correctly, picks up dirt quite easily and the rainbow effect is all over the place...
The only things i like it that it doesn't go round the edges so it wont peel off and the feel of the protector is almost identical to the HOX glass...
For the price i paid not very satisfied since i ruined the 1st one upon installation!

Best Skins Ever .
www.bestskinsever.com
You can either get full body or screen only protection.
Cheapest price, BEST quality, the touch and feel is amazing.

I bought these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/6x-Clear-LC...901133?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4abb2d7fcd
unless u spend good money i find that most screen protectors are about the same. when i get them ill see how they stand up

I feel exactly the same as you. I've been looking for a decent screen protector since I got my One X. Unfortunately I can't advise you on any good ones as I haven't found one yet, but I can tell you don't bother with the official HTC one. I paid something like £8 (if I remember rightly) thinking it's the official one so it should be good but it didn't even fit the phone due to the curved edges. The edges were raise all around it which looked awful.
I'd be interested if anyone does recommend a decent one for a reasonable price.
And for the record, gorilla glass does scratch. It's not things like sharp objects that are the problem but minute grains of dust and sand rubbing against it. It scratches very easily under certain circumstances, such as in a gritty pocket or a pocket with sand in it.

well ijust recieved the ones from ebay... its clear but the protector doesnt cover the edges and ends like .2 in from the bottom

Well, the best that I have use so far is Skinomi. Have gone through all others and end up going back to Skinomi as it is the only which cover from edge to edge. The one who don't tend to collect dust on the side and it just annoying

Capdase makes pretty good screen protectors. Only thing you should be protecting your phone against is sand.

Thanks for all suggestions !
By the looks of it Skinomi looks best for me.
How is the install process, easy?
Does it catch dust or is it a clean install if that makes sense?
Thanks !!

Install process is not as difficult as dsbg, just make sure that your hand is wet

Bestskinsever are the best skins ever, super cheap, great support, i can recomend them enough

Hi,
i use bestskinever and i am very happy with it. The skin goes frome edge to edge and is very easy to install. I also compared it with de XO Skin which is much more expensive and coud not see andy diference.

Decided to stick with my 6 for £2 protectors

I Bought Gorillagard from Amazon for £5.99. It does not cover the whole screen but slightly wider than the ones just cover the center off the screen. The good thing about this screen protector is that if it gets dirty all you have to do is peel it off, wash it with water and stick it back on. It uses static to stick to the screen. The edges are a problem though but i ain't too fussed about it.

[Q] HTC Double Dip Hard Shell Case - Screen Protector Compatibility

hi guys.
I have been looking around and trying different cases, however i always end up looking at the official Double Dip htc Hard case, as it looks to be the best one .
Just wondering about the case, asking the people who have used it. I always use Xtremeguard/Invisibleshield wet application screen protectors on my htc One. i wanted to know if the case is compatible with screen protectors? because i have come to experience some cases making the protector peel off.
any responses will be appreciated.

Some screen protectors work, some don't.
From my experience, skinomi and just a generic matte screen protector did not work with the case, but I'm using a gadget shieldz now and it works

absolutely right
bought this cover 2 days ago, unfortunately top (red) part of cover - when applied will peel off screen cover
this because gap for front camera eye, actually bottom side of this hole.
screen protector - nothing special - something from phones4u for 8 pounds
any idea?

I'd say get a "wet" screen protector as they can bend into shape. That's what mine has done, instead of peeling off because of the front camera it molded itself around it. Hope that makes sense

Yeah the screen protectors that need to be wet or have the screen wet before being applied
They're also easier to apply because you can take them off again and re-apply. The only ones I know of are gadget shieldz or skinomi

I just received mine that I ordered off ebay /Hong Kong as well. It's pretty nice. I've removed it a couple of times already to see if it scratches and no it hasn't. I just made sure before I first put it on to clean/scrape the inside of any excess plastic.

I'd wait for about a day for it to settle and everything. Apply the screen protector before you sleep and then put the case on when you wake up.

Are wet application type screen protectors the only ones that are compatible with the Double Dip case?
I would feel more comfortable knowing that the screen is protected but I am not a fan of the grippy texture that Zagg usually has. But if it's the only one that works then beggars can't really be choosers.
Edit: Decided to go with the Zagg Invisible Shield. It actually isn't as bad as it used to be. I'm really satisfied with my purchase.

Screen protectors

I am thinking of getting a screen protector for my moto g. I know it has gorilla glass 3, but i hate scratches on the screen so much I am still considering giving it a bit more protection. Had a look on amazon, not a lot of choices. In fact this seems to be the only good one. It has no reviews, so thought i'd share it here and get some opinions.
PS: Am i being too weird? Is the screen already safe enough? let me know
Clear protector: link
Antireflex protector: link

It will be my first smart phone, so I got the flip case/cover for the all around protection, but yeah, if you just want it for the screen, I guess it's an OK choice. Though I've read some people don't like the feel of those protectors.

My Dad has a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman and it just has a "Scratch-resistant glass" and it has no protection at all it has been 2 years but there is not even a single scratch on it and I know how rough he uses the phone so there is no need for extra protection

Watch the scratch test video! They used even a knife but the screen was like new

I am just a bit of a freak when it comes to scratch on glass
I went to the beach with my Samsung S4 and it got scratched, but luckily I did have a screen protector on. So yes gorrila glass protects against knifes but it won't protect it from sand
@theArchitektas
Where did you get flip case from? Pretty sure they are not selling them yet

I have the atFolix ones on order from Amazon; were dispatched last week but still waiting. I'm the same, I always put screen protectors on my phones; the only exception is my Lumia 920 as it has a curved screen and I couldn't find a decent one to apply (even the official one was no good)!

I guess I didn't put it clear. I pre-ordered it from Amazon UK, haven't received yet.

If anyone can find a glass screen protector for the Moto G please let us know. So far I haven't found a glass one anywhere. I can't stand the plastic ones, but the glass ones (like the ones made by SPIGEN) fell just like the original screen.

didn't find one glass screen protector for MOTO G...if someone has found it then do share the link...desperately want one to gift to my friend on Christmas......
Thanks in advance.....

Did anyone find one in Mexico City?

I can strongly confirm. When I had mine I scoured the interwebs looking for a protector and couldn't find a good one. But I had min for about 1.5 yrs and had NO SIGNIFICANT SCRATCH. There would probably be small lines near the SE logo... but you would have to peep closely to notice.
I think I might order mine without the SP and decide to get one later.

I could, though the Moto X itself isn't sold in the UK. I wanted an immediate solution so I wouldn't have to leave it unprotected but I'm happy enough with the outcome to wait until some decent screen protectors arrive on the UK market.

People who say only things of a certain hardness will scratch Gorilla Glass are talking rubbish. Either that or the phones I've seen in CeX - no more than two month old devices in some cases, with screens that look like they've been sandpapered - have been kept in the same pocket as someone's beach samples.

BEWARE the moto g does scratch quite easily, I know this because mine slid off the chair and the screen cracked and had scratches all over it, I now have got a replacement moto g and put a screen protector on from day one !

If you are spending $200 on something that could be damaged a good screen protector is cheap insurance.
We replaced my wife's Nexus S (bought the first month they came out) with a Moto G. She never had a screen protector. She has one bad scratch in the Nexus screen http://www.patentlystupid.com/sw/nexus.png sorry the pic is blurry but I took it in the dark with only a blue LED flashlight to highlight the scratch. Now keep in mind the Nexus S did not have Gorilla Glass. My guess is my wife's diamond ring hit the screen while she was rooting around in her purse one day. That is the only bad scratch on this 3 year old device.
A friend of mine likes to carry high end ($300+) pocket knives made by Bench Made, they constantly scratch is screens and he has resorted to using Spigen Glass screen protectors and these too get badly scratched by the metal edges of these hardened knives. He has replaced several already.
So no you are not being too weird or paranoid. I use Spigen Glas-Tr myself. I have no scratches on it yet, but I would rather replace the $30 screen protector than the screen on my $650 SGS4. Just make good sense.
I have put a cheap plastic protector on my wife's Moto G screen. I will replace it with a tempered glass one as soon as I find one I like.

screen protector ensures higher resale value, and since I sell my old phones on craigslist/ebay, I put protector on every single time. Sometimes $.99 stores sell iphone screen protector n I use it as temporary one until I wait to receive one I ordered online.
As for Moto G, I received the phone today and learned that the cover that comes with the phone CAN be used as a screen protector. Those M logo and motorola name on it? You can scratch them off with your fingernail.
