Evening,
I've recently brought a ZAGG IS from Carphone warehouse and had them fit it twice, because it wasn't 'to my standards'. I had it replaced again yesterday and left it for 24 hours this time until I turned it on and used it. Once I had turned it on, I had noticed quite a few small watermarks, like a rainbow affect on the screen. I'm guessing its from the liquid they use to stick it to the screen. Will these marks go away after a few days - up to a week?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
give it 3 days, those marks should be gone. If not, give it a week
Ok thank you. I was just worried about it damaging the screen.

Rubbish
Having had it replaced 4 times by Carphone warehouse, ended up taking it back in the end and getting my money back. Worst £15 spent, there a load of rubbish.

I've used Zagg for some years now - in my experience they're very good.
Of course I fit it myself, and take a long, long time in doing so!
I reckon the"experts" at CPW rushed the job - I've very rarely had bubbles or streaks once I've (finally) finished the application.
Same here, very disappointed on that shield. The installation is so hard plus the plastic is very noticeable...

Those marks didn't go away at all on my shield, but I'll rather have them than get my screen scratched.

Invisible shield HD
Hi.
I've ordered the Invisible Shield HD for my One X. Anybody here who got it on their device? What's your opinion about it?

I had one on my HTC Inspire since I had it and it was great, even though I had to get it replaced once because I got water under the screen putting it on. Just got the One X and its so crystal clear and smooth when you get it on right and wait for it to dry
Sent from my HTC One "Awesome" X
Yes, fare enough the case is good - offers a load of protection - I would have loved to have kept it. I just think that they rushed the job, each time. And for the money, I think there is better out there for cheaper - hopefully lol, because I'm on the look again.

Yeah, your right. The orange peel effect never went, smoothed out a bit - but you could tell its there.

i cant tell whether ther is one on or not.
can someone please confirm.
im asking because i only found out my t-mobile pulse had a screen protector when it smashed one day.
My factory sealed Wildfire did not come with a screen protector.
Mine didn't have one on it
Mine had one one it which had all writing on it to tell me to take it off. I just went and purchased an invisibleshield after that.
just the factory warning one with remove before use on mine
My son has a Wildfire and it had no screenprotector in the box, only the thin plastic wich should be removed.
You really dont need one, it has a freakin gorilla glass

I don`t think it has Gorilla Glass.
According to gsmarena, it does.

According to GSMArena, the Wildfire has an Adreno 200 GPU, the same unit as on the Desire. So, I wouldn't go by what GSMArena says on the Wildfire, even though it is probably the mobile site of my choice.

According to me, it doesnt. When i bought it, i had to wait 3 days to get an invisibleshield protector, and i got a small almost unnoticeable scratch on there during that 3 day period, even tough i kept my wildfire in Golla pouch.

Now that`s interesting....
Funny thing, it was never a selling point for the Wildfire, like it was for other phones.
I put on a screen protector and after a week or two there is a big scratch on it that makes the touch feel much less smooth. I end up replacing it with a new one every three weeks or so.
Is this normal to do that?

Maybe you are using cheap, 3 for 2$ screen protectors. Those are pretty much crap.
Mine actually came with 2
One on the bottom (which attacts finger prints like ****)
And one above that one which was quite rigid when I had to take it off.
****ting bricks while watching it :O
Well ill make sure not to drop mine!!! but I've got it in the official case with the flap so hopefully that will save the screen!

Its funny how people get jealous of what i get paid to do.
PS. this phone was purchased outright for our own personal use. This was not a review unit nor was it given to us. if you had any common sense you might realize that companies will not give you a phone just for you to smash it into pieces.
Ouch!
Personal use.....droptest .....common sense..
Really should i answer.
Review units....thats a unit a big company GIVES a reviewer to test.
There has been several
Why did I watch this!!! I've dropped every phone I've ever owned and I know what I've got in store now
Screen protector - don't be ignorant to think gorilla glass is unbreakable - YouTube will show you many breaks.
Gorilla glass is awesome, but not unbreakable.

Does a screen protector stop it from smashing face down then, I dont see how it could?

I do reviews for a site and we have a very close relationship with both Samsung and HTC and the word they always use is never "GIVE" it is always "LOAN" and with that they always make use promise that the device will be returned in perfect working order. If it is damaged in anyway the reviewer has to pay for it.
galaxy s2 also has gorilla glass and it really IS UNBREAKABLE(nw I think i should'nt had sold mine )

Would a case protect the screen though?

maybe im wrong, but i would guess that it's unlikely there will be any bumpers from main manufacturers considering the phone is very thin at the edges and also the fact that it gets narrower at the edges (ie. not constant thickness)
There doesn't seem to be any official pouch at the moment which is unfortunate. I like my phone to be nude when I use it but be protected in my pocket.

Bro, check on http://www.pdair.com they sell high quality leather pouches. I'm like you and I like my phone to be naked and only be covered by a pouch so that people can see the device I have (I know, it sounds kind of egocentric) but also, I like to see my phone as it is, without anything covering it except the screen protector
The products are in production and expected to be released soon, I will definetly get one from them
I'm really loving that HTC is putting out their own accessories as well, I'm personally getting the flip case.
I never use cases for usual usage, but I'd like to have a kickstand since I plan on also using this for a very tiny but very portable working/entertaining interface. Like I usually jot down a few notes about appointments and lectures, as well as I like watching stuff on my phone

flip one looks gorgeous but they should make one without kickstand. they'd be surprised if they know that not many people watch long duration videos on their phones.

I bought the Genuine HTC1 DD case and found that its really really tight sliding over my black HTC1
I got the centre section about 1/4 the way from the bottom up, before I had to start really forcing it so I decided not to keep going..
I gently pulled it off the phone and discovered it had scratched the bottom speaker curved corners each side....

I have the black HTC1. There are also scratch lines on the back of the phone from the fabrication lines in the case.. Not good..
I will get some pics later today but for now, if you have a BLACK HTC1, DO NOT GET THIS CASE!
I want to get this case for my Silver but after seeing this I'm having second thoughts. When I'm going around with people, being busy I can use this and when I'm not too busy I can use a pouch I planned but not sure now.
Sorry to hear that, I have the DD case as well, it also hasn't scratched my phone, fits nice and snug. White HTC One. (Rogers / Canada)
So they still haven't solved this.....

Well maybe new ones won't have the same problem. Most sellers are out of stock and I really want to buy this case.
And also some people doing it wrong all the time; you slide your phone from up not bottom. There's a big difference.

yes any tight slide on case can do this, I stay away from slide on cases. Especially if you ever go around sand.
I'm going on a vacation and wanted to take underwater video and take my phone to the beach. Anyone have any experience with any of the many options out there? Drycase, overboard, aquapac, sealabox..

Hi, I do asked myself this since I live near the beach and want to do kind of the same you want.
I bought the Sealabox 3XL it fits perfectly the HTC One, you can get on ebay I paid around 22 after searching for a while.
I tested it in the sink and firstly you have to flash a kernel for making it able to wake the phone (i use Logo 2 wake).otherwise you can't do nothing (you have no way to press power) - I flashed tbalden 's kernel.
It doesnt get a drop of water in, so I feel confident it will be good. I will test it maybe today or tomorrow in the sea.
Hope I was usefull.

Awesome thanks man, this is great. Yea let me know how it works. I was hoping to take something maybe even snorkeling. Yea I was using the logo to wake before I flashed 4.2.2. So I will downgrade if I have to before the trip.

Snorkeling I think maybe not good idea since it says only 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. I will try slowly since I don't wanna have my phone as a brick
I will test it in an hour.

Why not stick some paper towels in there instead and swim however you want? It'll be easy to tell if any water gets into the case then.
Unfortunately I went to the beach late today and played rackets so I will be testing it tomorrow.
That is a really nice idea, I will try to see how much depth can it handle with a paper.

Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
So I tried last weekend.
Positive: No water anywhere inside, so does it's job. Good picture quality and video.
Good protection from sand.
Quick removing and placing protection.
Negative: No access to buttons.
Not good visibility when recording or taking pictures at the moment.
With Invisible Shield Screen Protector (i think its because of this) when I immerse the phone it automatically touch screen making it stop / start recording.
How do you wake the phone inside a sealabox?
The sealabox looks pretty good for beach/pool/sweat protection, but how do you wake the phone without access to the power button? Do you guys use something like awesome on off, or an app similar to that?
I'll be in the beach sooner too.
About the SEALABOX, how can you take a photo or video in the sea ?
I plan to do some snorkeling, and I would to record this event with the HTC one.
I wish there were good waterproof cases for the HTC One like there is for the iPhones and even S3s. Lifeproof would be ideal. I think all we have are pouches/baggies that happen to fit the HTC One. I posted on Lifeproof's facebook page voicing my wishes for a case for the HTC One! Anyone that would also want one should do the same as they don't consider making products for new phones unless they have popular enough demand.
I've been on the hunt for something similar to the optrix or life proof cases for the iPhone. I'm having no luck and so far have to use a LokSak which is not ideal. Anyone else having better luck?
