screen protector problem - Vibrant Accessories

ok, so i bought a new screen protector, and when i applied it, there's no bubbles at all but... it's reflecting kind of a rainbow holographic look which is EXTREMELY annoying... best way to describe it is static/snow or w/e u wanna call it that u'd see on a tv that has no cable, but it's not black and white, it's rainbow colored and the dots are way smaller then on a tv of course... it's really annoying and i'm just wondering is it because i used soapy water to apply the sp? it said in the instructions to use soapy water . . . (it was just a small drop of soap in a whole glass of water, very minimal, almost no bubbles at all were in the water)

If you read around that is typical of some of the SP's some people report the rainbow going away on different brands of SP after a week or two . Some report it never going away, so what SP did you buy?
Also its not because you used water to apply it.

Ya, i contacted the seller and he told me that it was probably because the soapy water did not settle correctly to the adhesive side of the SP, so he sent out another one... hopefully i don't get the same problem with the 2nd one...
here's the product/seller if anyone is interested, i can't say if the product is bad or not, i might of just got a defective one or something, i'll let you know after i install the new one once i get it, the seller has great customer service imo so i really do hope things work out

(posted the url like that and in tinyurl cuz i can't post links)
other then the problem with the rainbow effect i gotta say i got it on very easily without a single bubble, the feel is great, there's no fingerprints on it, and when the screen is off (and the rainbow effect isn't there) it seems to be almost as transparent as the glass itself, i can barely tell it has a SP, just another reason i hope that the problem is resolved with the second SP

Had that problem with the t-mobile sp and it never went away. Got tired of it sp I just bought the realook Nd love it. It has no rainbowness

scratch on my screen

Hello everybody,
I know they are a lot of post about this scratches, but yesterday, I've made a scratch in my screen, and I don't know what I must do? Can I try with tooth Pasta, or is it too dangerous? Or there other efficient products, for screens like the desire?
Thanks,
Thomas
A good screen protector may effectively hide it
Hello,
Yes i've heared this, I will but a screen protector. But do you know if it's possible to make this scratch really "disippear"??
no. you cannot "compound" out the scrath using toothpaste. you will more than likley make the screen much worse trying this. just live with it and put on a protector. Did you find out how you scratched it? keys? sand? grit? dirt? The screen seems quite tough against everyday things, so it must have been a piece of salt/sand or some other cuboid.
yes, i was very surprised when i saw that scratch. I had nothing in my pocket when it happened. Just maybe sand.
I've tried all kind of household remedies on my old phone once I changed it: the only result was perhaps that it lost transparency on the whole screen, but the scratch remained mostly there. Yes, toothpaste is probably the only thing that will do something to it but you have to push so hard while using it that you will end up damaging the smooth screen around the scratch
If you really want to try, then Brasso, not toothpaste. But I would put a protector on. Some say a dab of vaseline on the scratch can "fill it"
I did hear t cut should do it. I scratched mine while waiting for my zag screen, luckily the phone was faulty and kept crashing so orange replaced it so getting a new phone repaired my scratch lol. Zag screen arrived same day as new phone, do they ever stop feeling tacky mines been on nearly a week?

Do NOT use toothpaste or brasso on the screen. You can't repair scratches on glass without specialised equipment. The toothpaste/brasso buffing remedy only works on plastics.
Is there any dust under the screen? If there is, HTC will replace it for you as that was a known problem with the first few batches.

I'm doubtful they do, cant verify this. I got a refund from Zagg and just got a Martin Fields protector (same price as zagg for twin pack on mobilefun), and I can report a much better experience; the feel is so close to the original the difference will be easily forgotten (if noticed at all), it was a damn sight easier to fit (2-5mins, no bubbles and no dust (if you're careful)), v. clear, and is washable/reusable.
Can recommend!
ok, thank you for all those answers. I will to try change my Desire with an new one in the shop were I bought it. He's only 1 week old, it's not normal to have a scratch, with a normal use.

Realook SP - OK, I'm a believer now.

I've always been against SPs. I know they serve their role, but I believe the Vibrant has held up extremely well for me. Regardless, seeing so many complimentary posts I decided to split the costs with another XDA user and give it a whirl.
Boy am I glad I did. The SP is not visible AT ALL. No bubbles, no change that I can tell in screen clarity, the feel is almost the exact same to my touch, and best of all.... with the SP + Gorilla I really have no worries at all about my screen. I guess in a worst case scenario the SP could get a scratch? Anyone had any issues with this?
Application was super easy. I opted to use a warm shower for humidity and some scotch tape to help apply.... first time trying was perfect. Never had I been able to apply a SP so easily/perfect.
Also, I use the black TMobile case that came on launch date. With this case, it wraps just slightly around the edge of the phone.... well, this is perfect because even if you could see the SP, this case wraps over it. This is flawless. Nobody would ever guess I had a SP.
Those in limbo or feeling good about the Gorilla... take it from someone who used to vocalize those same sentiments, this SP is worth it. Maybe find someone on XDA to help split the costs with you since it comes in a 2 pack.
If you order, you get:
2 SPs
an alcohol wipe
a microfiber cloth
2 strong adhesive tapes (to lift the SP if you do get dust under it)
2 little plastic pieces to smooth out any bubbles
instructions
I think that's all that came in the box... not bad for $11. O, and I got an email saying I should expect it on the 17th.... well, I got it today (11th). Pretty speedy delivery too!
I realize this sounds like an ad... I am not affiliated with them in any way, just trying to point out my thoughts since I was openly negative about it before.
UPDATE: 10/6/10
I'm still very happy with the SP. HOWEVER, I AM BECOMING VERY ANNOYED BY THE SMEARING/FINGER PRINTS THOUGH. I can clean my screen with a microfiber and instantly it's dirty again. I have dropped some saline on the screen and then cleaned it... immediately becoming dirty again. I think the screen was much better at not showing fingerprints BEFORE adding the SP. Anyone else notice this? Any ideas?
those things are amazing, I actually took mine off after a couple of weeks because I had a little bubble on the top right corner that wouldn't go away. I washed it and stuck it back on and its still perfect, these things are definitely worth the price
Yesss, another convert to SP. Glad you did it.
I have one and would not trade it for anything. I would rather be safe with my phone than mess it up and regret for the rest of the time that I have it.
Enjoy.
Yes it's awesome but I did manage to scratch the screen protector itself somehow =( that's why I split it with you lol. I'm glad you got it already tho.

I agree that it is virtually invisible when on but try as I might I cant get it to go on cleanly. I finally gave up and live with two bubble. Thankfully they arent in the primary display area.
Oh Realook is definitely better. I first tried the T-mobil SP and noticed a big difference once i tried the Realook. Although my experience was not perfect with Realook, i did have a bubble around the speaker which i can't remove.. I haven't applied the 2nd one, i tried re-using the same one but i got the same results..even after i re-cleaned that area. Having said that, I would still recommend this SP as well
I love realook, they are amazing. I was showing my phone to a customer and they asked why I didn't use a SP. I told them I was using a SP but they didn't believe me. I took my case off and showed them the edge of the SP and they finally believed me.
Yes its good.I just wish it would not attract finger prints as much.oh well small issue to deal with. I had the t mobile one and it made the screen crappy.

If the bubbles are on an edge that means it's not centered properly. Anywhere else I would say it's dust.
Yep RealLook is awesome. I got it because at the time, Clarivue didn't have one available. But RealLook seems to be the exact same thing so I'm very impressed.
I am a Realook Fan now. I had the t-mobile SP and that made the screen look so bad. Having the Realook Sp looks like there is nothing there.
im still streaking naked !!!!
I had the Realook SP for about half a week now, and I AM LOVING it. It's better than the T-Mobile, and Case-Mate SPs.
It doesn't even look like there's one there. No streaks, fingerprints, smudges, or grease.
When my brother seen the package, he asked if I ever put it on. I told him that there wasn't a SP on, and he believed me. I told him I put on a SP and he said, WOW. He didn't notice it.
It does take a little while to put on, I couldn't get on small bubble off, so I have to live with it.
You got a pm.

Well. I'm not impressed.
Both screens could not adhere properly at the earpiece level. The bubble would not go away. (and yes, it was spotless dust-free/clean application).
The adhesive eventually wore off from constant rejiggering and the bubble got bigger....
Yea its tricky i actually got pissed and crumpled the first one..
2nd one took some time...like 20 mins of patients but i eventually got it perfect and im loving it i have no issues with earpiece had few specs of dust but got rid with piece of tape.
Also someone stated its doesn't show fingerprints, smudges, or grease...that's not true.
you still see marks all over the screen from your fingers just like you would without a SP.
But doesn't bother me at all. I cant even tell i have SP and coming from crappy invisible shield rubbery SP im %100 satisfied with it.
I just received my RL screen protectors. They look and feel great. I noticed on both installed on our two vibrants the bubble around the earpiece. I worry that it may get bigger with wear, but if that's the only thing I have to worry about, I'll shell out the $11 again for another pair.
My wife has a snap on cover that goes around the earpiece, so I don't think she'll have that problem.

I have a trick to get rid of the ear piece probelm but not sure how to explain and if it will even help you
At the ear piece i think the SP plastic dips in slightly causing the not to sit properly.
I used my fingernail and scratched in towards the opening for the earpiece hole untill it was sitting flush and eventually flattened out.
dont worry you cant scratch the SP with your finger nail
LOL i hope i described that so you can understand
Do you just keep scratching it while it's on until it flattens out?

TPU diztronic case review

Hello guys,
I ve been in the market for cases for my new galaxy nexus and got my hands on a couple diztronic ones and I posted the reviews on the correct forum however I couldn't leave my lovely s2 without one so I got one as well and reviewed it specially because I've seen people talking about it due its misalignment with some of the necessary hardware part. I made this video so you guys can check it and make your own decision ..
Pd.- I am in no way associated with Diztronic or any of its affiliates .Im just a phone junkie that started reviewing cases so people get a look before spending their money. Mods if I am breaking any rules please let me know
Enjoy and hope this helps

Had mine shipped from Amazon with free Prime, but it somehow managed to take 5 days. The case itself is great, I see the misalignment issue with the mic hole, but I haven't really had any problems with that so far. It definitely fits better than the primitive T989 case on eBay that was extremely popular.
good review dude. Does it not bother you that you have particles stuck under your screen protector? Man that would eat away at me until I fixed it.
thank you for the kind words guys
im going to be honest on the shipping..I got mine in like three days..Im in the US so that might be why it was faster.
it indeed feels sleek as well..not adding volume nor size is a plus for me.
Yes , i had that case from ebay...which is now resting inside my drawer lol
i HATE the particles..it doenst matter if im in a surgeon table or with everything closed ...I always manage to get particles in..and not on the side but in the middle of the screen haha! but gladly i have a lot of them so right after the video I replaced it with another one
glad im able to help you guys...the more cases I get the more reviews I will be doing

have you tried the hot shower method? it really does work wonders, but it sure is uncomfortable in there.
Actually I haven't. Good idea. Will try that!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Ditto. Applying screen protectors must be the most annoying thing in the world...
the larger the screen protector, and the smaller the cutouts that you have to align, that worse it gets. Getting this crappy matte screen protector on my GS2 was a pain, now I don't even want it because it ruins the beauty of the screen.
I tried the hot shower method for the first time on my GS2 and it definitely made life easier as far as keeping dust suppressed goes, but any dust that gets stuck on the sticky side of the screen protector is still going to cause trouble.
Running it for ~10 minutes got the bathroom nice and steamy when I did it, don't humidify it to the point where it gets uncomfortable, but you do have to keep it running during the process =\
that was probably incoherent as hell and more of a rant than anything, but I've never been good at sorting my thoughts

I understand your frustration no worries there. So from what I have gathered from reading a lot of blogs and stuff:
1) Soak the screen protector (if it's a silicone adhesive that is water-resistant) in half water half isopropanol to clean the sticky side of the sp.
2) Apply screen protector in a steamy room.
So much work.. Especially since a lot of people have no trouble at all applying screen protectors regularly. Maybe I'm just fail
If you're careful, you don't have to soak the screen protector in anything, I didn't and it went on perfectly, that is...until my cheap eBay case started pushing the top right corner up. Just run a hot shower, and do EVERYTHING in there, even opening the screen protector. I live in a REALLY dusty apartment (no idea why) and I had very little trouble except for lining up the holes.
i have the same case, same issues at the bottom with the mic but it doesnt effect my calls. even with the minor imperfections, i would still recommend the case to others.
Never heard of the hot shower method before
I've applied many screen protectors ranging from Nintendo DSi to iPad2/Samsung Galaxy Tab and anything in between over the years, and never had any problems with bubbles or particles. The key is to have a brief bursts of canned air right before applying the screen protector and having a piece of Scotch tape in one hand in case any dust particles get in between. If that happens, I lift the screen protector little bit, touch the dust with the Scotch tape briefly, and continue the process. Scotch tape doesn't leave any residues behind (either on the screen or the screen protector depending on where the dust particle is) and it is readily available. Oh, and I always use powder-free latex exam gloves

I finally received the case in the mail. Damn international shipping.
The case looks sleek. It fits perfectly. Haven't noticed any problems with the sound quality. I am satisfied. Will probably last very long until I decide to upgrade to like a seidio/otterbox/incipio ccase.
I font like cases that make the phone bigger ..love the protection they offer but hate the bulkiness

To screen protect or not screen protect...

To all my fellow HTC One X owners - are you using protection? LOL
I'm simply asking because I was wondering if anyone is going commando with the phone, and whether the screen has shown any scratches as a result? I know the phone is supposed to be sporting the all-powerful Gorilla Glass 2, but I don't trust it yet and so have put a screen protector on the front. This dulls the lustre of the screen a bit, so I am thinking of removing it.
How about yourselves? What has been your own personal choice?
you never know.
I got mine protected.
i saw a post about someone having scratches already. Then I viewed the crazy video of the gorilla glass2 scratch test performed by one *FINE* lady here in xda.
I decided to protect it then. the screen protector doesn't protect the whole screen though.
Edit: have to rephrase she's here now.

Heres the crazy lady - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590172
I used to have a screen protector on my sg2, then took it off after a year and it looked like a brand new phone, felt like i was missing out on the beautiful screen. I was going to get one for the one x, but I have extra insurance included in my phone contract against any kind of damage, accidental etc.. and it seems like it'll be hard to completely cover the glass, especially on the sides as I've seen on the forums that some people have had issues getting it to stay stuck.
I treat most things like they are a new born child when I first get them, then after a while, you get comfortable. I don't want to have this sexy looking phone and cover it with screen protectors and back covers - even if it did cost a lot of money.
one crazy lady here!
nah i'm not going to bother with a screen protector after my test i think....only thing i'm really concerned about is that camera lense. Would like to know what it's made of and how i can protect it (without sticking gel cases on the back etc)
It's funny that on these scratch tests the device never has any issues.
But reading on the forum some people do have scratches etc. just because they have keys and phone in same pocket... Makes you wonder, what kinda test did the scratchtester do with there HaitchTC One eX (Hahaha you crazy british people).

My right pocket on any kind of clothing is my dedicated phone pocket. I put nothing in there with it aside from my smooth leather wallet. If you put keys in there and other sharp stuff, then it's your own fault in my opinion! You don't throw your house keys at your television or computer do you? So why throw them on your pride and joy mobile phone! hehee

I'm not balming you. But same **** happend to me with HD2, DHD, SGS2.
Gorilla Glass my ass...
After owning the phone for like 6 months, check the screen again, can garantee you, you will find some small sand scratches.
You'll probably end up with scratches due to sand particles that somehow end up in your pockets. Basically metal won't scratch the glass, but sand will. I won't bother with a screen protector, but I do expect to see at least a couple of microscratches at some point in the near future.
To be honest the first one is the only one that hurts. After that it's bearable.

I have the HTC branded screen protector on my Desire. It's been on since the day I got the phone around 18mths ago along with a case-mate Tough. The protector still looks like new, with one small scratch on it.
Having said that, I'm still on the fence about the One X screen. I'll probably go for another case-mate Tough as it has been worth the money on the Desire for the protection.

I didn't like the official screen protectors, stuck onto the piece of card with some adhesive, by the time i had pulled them off (as carefully as possible) it left a dint in my screen protectors, both ended up with a horrible air bubble where the adhesive had warped the film.
I might just get a nice case and stick with it.
I'm just waiting to see whether i'm keeping it or selling it, i've been appalled by the battery life so far, but the screen seems to be the culprit, at minimum brightness, the screen eats 1% of the battery for ever 5-10 minutes it is on, hopeless when you're playing games, anyone know any solution to this apart from never playing games on the phone?
Wat screen protectors do you guys use?
I have the official HTC ones on mine. but they dont wrap around the edges. Which causes it to sort of "meh". The problem is that the edges of (my) official screen protector dont connect with the screen.
So I am wondering if there are any other brands that do not have this problem and I can order on ebay/amazon or some other website (I live in belgium )

Applying screen protector under water

Now that these phones are waterproof. Wouldn't it be best to apply the screen protector under water. It is recommended to put some water on the screen so you can push it out along with the airbubbles/dust.
Why not fully submerge it now?

I can't lie that's a very interesting concept. Get the cheap ones from Amazon glass of course but try it

I've never seen instructions to put water on my phone to apply a screen protector. I remember a few years back some primitive TGSPs required water, but I avoided those at that time because of it.
Also, is water damage covered by the mfr. warranty if some residual moisture causes damage?

Honestly, if HTC says it's IP67 rated and you get water damage from just placing it in a bowl of water for a couple minutes then it's their fault by means of a defect because it's supposed to be completely fine submerged in 3.3' of water for 30mins.
Well, I use skinomi screen protectors and you're supposed to use some soapy water to make them fit better.
It's nice because you can keep adjusting them, and once they're on right, you take off the extra water, and they stick down.
You get a little murky effect for 24 hours or so, but after its super clear.
Your mileage may vary of course, but it's an interesting idea.
It doesn't seem a good idea for me. Someone told me that you can apply it in your bathroom after taking the shower. This worth a try, maybe.
Besides, has anyone used ALCLAP screen protector for LG G6? I see that they have the white and black color. Wondering if I should just throw away my clear one and have a switch.
Have done this. Works flawlessly. Underwater ftw

I have the ALCLAP... I love it. The item doesn't match the instructions perfectly but the build quality is stellar enough that it's still my preferred screen. (Besides, we've all installed enough screen protectors that it shouldn't be an issue).
I installed the second one I received (warrantee) underwater and I don't think it added any benefit to the install process.
It's coupled with either the Bear Motion case, or a simple thin-line TPU case and in both cases the fitment is good. All items were recommended here so I guess I have to give you guys credit for how much I enjoy my phone. =)

Wow, thanks for sharing. And I really don't like the idea of applying screen protectors underwater. Sounds weird for me. I would get my bathroom foggy first to settle the dust in the air. :laugh::laugh:

Now that these phones are waterproof. Wouldn't it be best to apply the screen protector under water. It is recommended to put some water on the screen so you can push it out along with the airbubbles/dust.
Why not fully submerge it now?
