I'm a big fan of Brando screen protectors. Unfortunately, they have nothing specifically for the Desire yet. Does anyone know if the protector for the Nexus One will fit the Desire? As HTC make both, is it the same screen?
I doubt it because the nexus one has touch buttons at the bottom of the screen which a protector would probably cover.
Well, I got my DuraSec screen protector today. Not as good as Brando in my opinion but a good stopgap. Two days from Germany - not bad.
NOW WHERE IS MY PHONE?? Looks like it will be another 12 days!
Didnt you order it from tmobile? or going to o2 with it?
Im also interested in screen protectors... nothing came in the box. And theres not even a pouch for it... Kind of worryed about taking it outside the house untill its safe
I guess it would be a few months before leather cases come out for it?
Or do the nexus cases work fine?
Someone told me this place http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/2803/htc-desire-screen-protector
I am considering buying it from there.
I'm buying my phone from Handtec so I have to wait. I did ask if they knew whether they would get the screen protectors at the sme time but they said they had no information from HTC. The HTC screen protectors for the HD2 came out some time after the phone and reports were not very good.
DursSec are one of the very few quality ones already available.

Can you tell me the pluses and minuses of your screen protectors?
I've also ordered a cheap £4.99 double-pack if the HTC jobbies from Play, but I'm fully prepared to buy something else if they are too friction-y, or don't apply/fit properly.

The plus of the screen protectors are self explanatory. They will keep your screen as immaculate as possible, while still retaining full functionality (but you knew that already)
I'm hoping that as the ones from Play are the official HTC ones, they should be perfect for the job.
I'll let you know as soon as i get mine.

I too have ordered the ones of play.com, they do look to be the official HTC ones, as they are sold at the HTC accessory shop for about £7.99, play.com usually cheaper.
Screen protecter would add that peace of mind tbh, atm i'm paranoid that i'll damage the screen (which itself can damage the screen ironically) - ie, dirty fingers, same pocket with keyes, etc - more chance of haveing a nice screen.
stopgap measure hd2 screen protector cut down to fit
I am worried too. I refuse to put it in my pocket! i put it back in the box when i am not using it lol

Wow what have you got in your pocket? Diamonds? Keys?
If it's just a pocket lol you'll be 100% fine. Isn't it a glass screen neway? WOuld have to be a pretty harsh scratch. I'm sure I won't be buying a screen protector for this phone. I think i'll just buy a pouch for it and shall all be good!

Screen protector from Amazon UK (not tried it myself):
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vikuiti-DQC-160-screen-protector-Desire/dp/B003CAQAAY/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1269823681&sr=8-1-fkmr0
So which is better?
Play.com ones or Handtec ones?
What's the go with reducing sensitivity with the capacitive screens? I know with resistive anything over the top of the screen reduced sensitivity. I'm thinking of just getting a plastic case that slightly sticks out on the sides, meaning that if it was dropped on the ground, the screen won't touch the ground and only the edges of the case. Worked well for my Iphone.

I had a screen protector on my G1 and it didn't reduce sensitivity at all.
Anyone spotted a good screen protector for the Arc? I used a Brando in the past and was very happy with it, but I can't find the Arc on their homepage yet.
I've just ordered one from e-bay ;-)
Hey, I just read that there might be a screen protector installed out of the box!
yes that is true..
once u remove the top film..
look carefully..
factory fitted screen protector is on the screen..
also there is an extra protector amongst the warranty card and papers
Yes, mine had already a screen protector installed. An theres an extra in the box.
And there was a really leathercase.
i got mine two days ago with a screen protector in the box but i looked real carefully and didnt seem to see one pre fitted on the screen. Maybe i looked wrong
I also got an HDMI cable and leather case in the box.
can someone please tell me that maybe there are some countries where the screen protector is not pre fitted ? is that possible ? or have i not looked hard enough ?
There can be regional differences of course (some parts of Europe get a 16GB SDHC and a leather case...), but supposedly the protector is extremely hard to see. It was the same with the X10, and most people didn't even realize there was a protector installed and put another one right over it.
Just noticed it had a protector already installed. I installed the one that came in the box, so I now have to protectors on the screen lol.
Clarivue recently released protectors for the Arc. Cant post a link cuz I'm new here!
I like their anti glare protectors, because fingerprint marks are not as visible - which is very important for me for a touch screen device.
Although they are a little more expensive, you get two in a pack. You can use coupon clear630 and get 10% off. If your ordering 3 or more items you get another 10% off.
I got my Arc 3 days after it came out in Dubai, checked clarivue that day they didn't have them for the Arc, so I ordered anti-glare protectors from eBay. I checked clarivue again yesterday and they had them.
lol i also didnt notice thrs a preinstalled sp on the screen thus applied the extra sp.. now i have double protection!!! lol...
+1
At the factory, they pose it without any imperfection
Found one in the box but my eyes aren't good enough to see if theres one on already :-B I assume there is

You will see a very small line just inside the edge of the screen itself going all the way around. I can guarantee you already have one already installed
If in doubt use a magnifying glass.
anyone used a 3M Vikuiti ADQC27 for the arc? Does it fit well?
hey everyone, just so you know SGP has put out their screen shields for the arc, imo they are one of the best so, give it a look and enjoy
http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/sony-ericsson/xperia-arc.html
Have anyone thought about Invisible Shield from zagg
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
i just bought one a few days ago off ebay... still waiting for it to come in.
i had one on my x10 and i liked it. it is much more resistant to scratches than sony ericsson's so-called 'scratch resistant shatter proof sheet on mineral glass'. apparently zagg invisishield skins are made with the same material used to protect military helicopter blades (from what i've heard). one of the downsides to it is it makes finger swiping a bit harder because the screen is a bit more 'grippy'.
Personally, I would avoid Zaag, they are so tricky to apply. My recommendation has to be Martin Fields' or Brando.
whoah!..i just read this thread...and realised that there was a screen protector already preinstalled..unfortunately I had applied the one provided in the box a few days back (horribly i must add)...nice feature by Sony, but they shud mention it..
has anybody tried to remove the factory installed screenprotector? The reason i ask is because i removed the extra screenprotector that i installed when i got the phone since it had some inperfections, now i have a scratch in what i hope is the factory screenprotector and not the screen itself and a invisibleshield waiting to be installed but i cant remove the factory installed one
yea... screen protectors are a b*tch to install. do it once and do it right.
Got this screen protector from Amazon for $1. Ordered Friday, got today. Not bad! Anyways, it was $1! I had a little squirt bottle of solution from a Zagg I had on an iphone and used it to apply. Went on great, feels thick but not annoying thick and sticky like a Zagg. After the solution dried, it looks great. Anyways, did I mention it was $1?!
http://www.amazon.com/XtremeGUARD©-...FR0Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1302064917&sr=8-1
does it have those really annoying lines when viewing a white screen? my Zagg does that and it's really annoying
I don't see any when looking at white on here... just the usual **** from the screen itself
XDA: 12 HELPFUL PEOPLE AND 1584641849682579451694.5 complaining, ignoramous pansies.
Awesome thanks for that, i wanted to replace my zagg anyways
Extreme Guards are nice
This is a great find IMO. I've been using this specific screen protector since the 2nd or 3rd month of using my phone. I got mine off ebay and thought i got a good deal at the time but it wasn't $1 + FREE SHIPPING!!
I use cases everyday went from generic to BodyGlove to currently Otterbox and the screen protector has held up well with only minor smudges/indents(i put one on my sisters vibrant at the same time, she does not use casses everyday and you can tell cuz the screen protector has smudges all over it LOL). This is my first "wet" screen protector and all in all im half/half on it.
PROs -
- REALLY love the clear crisp look. This thing really lets the phones awesome screen show off to its full ability!
CONs -
- getting water around my phone makes me scared!
- a little more difficult to install than normal "dry" type screen protectors
- the smudges/indents are permanent its almost like "wet" protectors are thinner and softer
thanks again for this awesome find!
Wow thanks for 1$ i guess ill try it
I went ahead and picked up 3 of these (just in case I messed up the install). Grand total of $3, with free shipping. They came in the mail within 2 days, not too bad.
Anyways, I had the Tmobile branded screen protector on my Vibrant since the day I bought it (and having used the 2nd to replace the first when it wore out). When I took the old protector off, I was blown away by the quality of the phone display. I forgot how awesome it was since I got used to using the screen protector. I carefully put one of these on it, and I have to say that there are no bubbles, and the screen maintains the same quality as if there was no cover on it at all. This protector blows the tmobile branded version away and it also covers the "buttons" at the bottom of the phone, which were left uncovered by the old protector.
Having now tried these out, they are WELL WORTH the price.
You can't beat $1, and they work well and look very nice. You almost can't even tell there is one on the phone.
Anyways, that's my 2 cents, and I'll recommend these to anyone that asks.
I also have this screen protector, and it's realy great !
I bought this too and it was a horrible screen protector.
I bought one of these based on the reviews, and so far I'm disappointed. There appear to be multicolor streaks all over the screen when it's turned on, as if there is grease all over it, especially when the screen is white. Anyone else have this happen or have a solution for it? This makes my screen look horrible.

It tends to start out like that, but clears up as the moisture between it and the screen evaporates.
I have applied 2 of these now and have had no issues whatsoever with them.

True but compared to my old zagg this one looks still greesy and scratches can be seen D:
Hey guys, I recently bought one of these off Amazon when I ordered my Otterbox case, it was only $2 so I figured I had nothing to lose. Here's my take on it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19109961#post19109961
For those of you complaining, you probably just didn't install it right. I've had mine for a long time and I love it to pieces. The screen is bright, clear and unscratched. It doesn't get in the way of using the touch screen either.
3 years later....
Has anyone gotten one of the Steinheil screen protectors for their epic 4g touch?
http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...sprint-screen-protector-steinheil-series.html
Is it any good? Worth the $14?
I have one, i got the ultra fine version. I love it, easy to apply and feels good.
Going to place my order now! I kind of miss the glass like feel of the screens (coming from Ghost Armor & BodyGuardz).
I placed my order last week, It is the only brand of screen protector I use on any of my devices, their product I think is the best, Im hoping it arrives today.
I ordered the Ultra Crystal
Can anyone post pictures of their Steinheil screen protector? I am considering getting one, since the Skinomi one I got was complete garbage. How is the application process? Any issues with bubbles? And how is the feel, how does it compare to a naked screen?
Thanks.
Awesome, I was hoping they'd make one for the Touch. Ordering now.
I've been using the ultra crystal on my Evo 4G for a year now, and it has very few signs of wear. Ordered for the E4GT!
Anyone use these with a case? Specifically the TGU case? I know that sometimes cases can create bubbles around the edges, etc.
I placed an order for the Ultra Fine version last week, I'm hoping I get it soon! I have used Realook brand protectors in the past and was very satisfied with them, from what I understand these SGP protectors are very similar, can't wait to get it on my SGS2, don't want to scratch it
They are the best along with Power Support. I've used them for 4 phones and have nothing but good things to say. Great quality, long lasting, and easy to apply. Warning for the super amoled plus screen fans, if you order the ultra fine matte anti-fingerprint it will lower brightness and screen quality somewhat.
I have the Ultra Clear one on mine, with a TPU case. No issues with bubbling. They look and feel great. I was about to go with PowerSupport, but I didn't like the matte one I got for them. It really didn't help the retina screen on my iPod Touch.
I spent two hours contemplating between the ortho and the crystal screen protector. Decided to go with the crystal, since I don't want anything holding the super amoled plus screen.
Well Mine arrived a couple of days ago, I forgot to post that I got it, like I said before this are my favorite and the only screen protectors I buy (unless they have not released for the model Im looking for) and like on all the other devices I've had the fit is perfect and the feel on the touch is amazing (crystal model here).
The fit around the edges is awesome theres even barely any room between the housing and the actual screen. It goes almost exactly to the edge on every single corner of the device.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a high quality screen protector.
Thanks for the update! I'm actually looking at the mail man outside right now.. hopefully mine comes today!
Sweet hope you get it, and let me know what you think.

+ 1 on this screen protector! Got the crystal also and don't even notice it. Installation was a breeze as well.
Mail man failed to deliver lol. Got my hopes up, guess it'll be here Monday for sure.
How are these compared to the sprint screen protector.. Please only answer if you actually had the sprint protector.. No offense.
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic Touch 3g
Damn.. I ordered the Ultra-Fine but judging by the comments about it reducing the screen clarity maybe I should have gone with the Ultra Clear.. hmm.. wondering if it's worth it to return it..

Its all up to you and our taste I guess, I have the ultra crystal and those are the only ones I always buy, they actually feel better than the naked screen (no joke) It does make it feel like fine glass I have no issues with fingerprints or oily feeling that does not feel normal.
Hi! I just purchased a Galaxy Nexus from eBay and was wondering if I needed a Screen Protector. Does the screen get scratched easily or is it resistant to scratches (like SGS II) ?
Also anyone has dropped this phone and broke it ? (Dont know if I need a case)
depends on how risk averse you are.
Yes, there have been some cases (on here if you search about) where people have managed to scratch the screen.
I'd recommend getting a screen protector just to be on the safe side.
Thanks Just curious does the phone come with a screen prtector with it or should I purchase one ?
You must purchase one separately.
Check out the Accessories sub forum if you need help deciding which is best for you.
I use XO Skins and I couldn't be happier with it!!
I've had a screen protector on my nexus since I first got it from expansys in the mail. Somehow I have managed to hairline scratch the screen anyway there is only one small scratch I think it might have been in the application of my Zagg screen protector there was a tiny bit of something in between the screen protector and the screen and it caused the scratch, you can only see it if there is no protector on the screen and you hold it up to the light just right. In any case I would recommend a screen protector of some kind, it's frustrating to have your screen scratched up. I've had iphones and android devices with gorilla glass and I have had these minor surface scratches on all of them, get a screen protector it's worth it.
Thanks I have decided to get a screen protector...still not sure about the case.
Regarding a custom rom, any recommendations to which ones are the best ? (Didnt want to create another thread just for this)
Thanks

I am currently using AOKP13, make sure you install the correct one for your device (I suppose you have a GSM device since you are in Malta):
AOKP13 for GSM: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11455-rom-android-open-kang-project-maguro-build-13/
AOKP13 for CDMA: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12451-rom-android-open-kang-project-toro-build-13/
and this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367341
And I am very very pleased with the performance and battery life.
However there are many ROMs and kernels to choose from, all with different opinions so you may need to try out a few before settling down
I have the Case Mate barely there case and I love it. I have trued many of the Roms and I absolutely love IML74K 4.0.3 Build 6. Its the closest to stock and is insanely fast. I install 3m rock guard (durashield) at work on cars. I use a Roland 64" vinyl cutter and I was wondering if anyone had access to a database for phones so I don't have to cut free hand. Please let me know and if someone can supply me with designs then I will be more than happy to give you some 3m cutouts for you phone(s). Cheers!

stay away from xo skins...junk! I installed one the way the directions said, screen had all kinds of little tiny bubble in spots that would not come out with the squegee. Not to mention it scuffs really easy. Worst 13.00 I ever spent!
I just ordered the screen protector too late it appears. Despite babying this phone like no othr i have acquired a very slight small hairline scratch. Somerhing i managed to never do for 2 years on my Droid Eris. The screen is very sensitive to scratches despite what some would show you online with a set of keys.
Founf these of Play.com .... anyone tried them ?

I dont want any rubbery feeling on the screen or orange peel effect so I am not really sure which one to choose :/
