Hi,
Hi Guys.... just got myself an M5000 after telling Orange that they either upgrade me for free or Im leaving them!
Im looking for a good screen protector and have read on the forum that these are quite good. I had a crappy one on my XDAII and am looking to get a good one for my Universal.
Which of the following two would you get and why?
Anti-Glare

Crystal Clear
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=127395&asource=119353
On this site they go over the differences:
http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~unit~O2_XDA_Exec-500~area~accessories-WriteSHIELD%99+AG.htm
I want to know if you guys have tried these and know how much screen brightness you lose with the anti-glare version.... and which would be better.
thanks
I read somewhere that the ClearGaurd XP was the best screen protector, they had images too. I don't remember the link though. Because of that I bought a ClearGaurd XP screen protector, it should be here in a few days. The cool thing about them is that they are re-usable and washable.....
I got mine on eBay for 9 bucks
I have used both, and it is truly hard to choose.
Right now I am using the crystal clear. I miss the pencil-on-paper feel of the antiglare, but I don't miss the matted colours of the display.
On the other hand *my* crystal clear looks like sh*t because I am a complete klutz when it comes to installing these things. If you can follow a set of simple instructions and manage to not drop it on the carpet while trying to install it, the crystal just looks great. When you install it like I did, it looks like crap because every single piece of dirt under the thing shows in the glare. The antiglare is much more forgiving for idiot installers.
then there is the time I was installing a cpu on a motherboard, but that's a whole different story

I had the anti-glare version of WriteShield on my previous phone SE P900i - it was aweful!
I now have a crystal clear one on my Exec and it is much better visibility. This time I didn't buy WriteShield because the only version available at the time was way over the top pricewise. I suggest you shop around - I got mine for about 14 squids. I think the name was something like Martin.

Hi all,
Is it suitable to use a screen protector (e.g. Brando) with the Wildfire?
I'm wondering whether it reduces the touch screen's sensitivity, reflection , ...
What are you using?
I've got a Brando screen protector for my HTC Touch Cruise (3 years now) and I'm pretty happy about it. The protector looks pretty scratched and greasy but when I peak under it, the phone seems perfectly clear.
So what are your opinions? Thanks
I have a Zagg Invisible Shield on mine ant it`s great. The sensibility is only slightly reduced, you don`t even feel it`s there. But that depends on the type of protector you`re going to use. Mine does not interfere with the viewing angles ot luminosity/contrast. If you want to see more pictures check my blog.
My wildfire is a pretty rugged phone, i dont think it really needs screen protector. On the other hand, my htc desire wouldn't last a month without the ZAGG invisible shield, or is it maybe the desire costed me double?
I think the Zagg is good in application mine had no bubbles the next day but using Swype is a really drag ! literally too rubbery I'm afraid
Any suggestion on a good protector that works well with Swype ? I'm in UK

Ok Alex will see how I go ,only had the Zagg protector on for a couple or three days
Mine took about 10 days in order to smooth out. As long as you installed it properly, you should be fine.
I've heard good things about this Brando one which has a matte finish so no greasy finger prints or reflections. I'm thinking of getting one if I can find it for sale in £GBP
http://hemorrdroids.net had a review of one on their Youtube channel.
Try phantom skinz, can't even tell its there, and I use swype! Little expensive, worth out through!

No improvement on the Zagg screen protector and using Swype/Slideit giving it a couple more days , if there is no change ...its history
I can't see how you don't feel any difference after this much time

Zagg was fine for me the same day I applied it... Using Swype. Try pressing down harder/lighter? Either that or you're doing it wrong.

I'm using proporta screen protector, it's very very good

Where did you get the proporta ones from? I can't find them in the UK anywhere!
Can somebody please recommend me some good screen protectors from ebay (by posting the correct link)? I found many of them and I don't want to buy some bad ones...
i dnt think the screen protectors affect too much. mine came with my case all for $12, which is considered cheap in NZ. n it works pretty good
whatever you do don't get privacy screen protectors, the ones i tried were just a mirror finish, they look ridiculous, screwed up colours on screen,made it impossible to see anything outside, and made my sensors play up( my soft keys wouldn't light up). i'm like kevin just using cheap ones off ebay and they are fine.
Hi everyone,
I'm going to be getting an SGSII, and I'm not sure whether to get a screen protector or not.
I think I will (better safe than sorry), but I'm really confused as to all the choice.
There are cheapo ones off ebay, and there are $30 ones from Zagg, and a crapload in between!
What are all the different ones out there? What's different about them? What are their pros and cons?
How easy are they to put on?
How much do they actually protect?
How much do they cost?
How do they feel?
How do they look?
How do they affect the touchscreen?
How am I supposed to know which to chose, if at all?
Please don't just say a brand and that you recommend it, tell me why.
Thank you,
Amando.

I wont be getting one my galaxy s hasn't got a single mark after a year of use. Ive applies many screen protectors in the past to other devices and I've never been able to apply one perfectly (tiny spec of dust/ slightly missaligned etc)
This phone doesn't need one. I would get a case though

That's a thread addressing whether it needs one or not, none of the questions I've asked are really properly answered in that thread...

I'm not sure whether I want one or not... I can see your point, but there's always the 'just in case' nagging feeling... I'm a student and I live away from home. I shouldn't really even be buying the phone, but I want it and i *can* afford it, at a sacrifice for a few weeks. So I just want to make sure it is worth it.
I like zagg a lot, great protection and gives it some grip.... better safe then sorry is always the best method.... putting it on can be a pain... you really cannot go wrong.... it is to protect the screen and does not affect anything IMO
I actually always found the Zagg ones to be really fiddly to put on and overpriced. On my old phone I went with a cheap screen protector. I just needed to protect it from the possibility of my headphones scratching it in my pocket but that's about it.
It all depends on the amount of protection you think you need. If you're gonna be gental with it then the cheap-o ones will do the job and they're easier to apply.
Ive ordered a xtremeguard until something better comes out. But they got good reviews online. You have to install with a little water though.
Hey guys, i was just looking up accessories for the x10 and came across this website: http://www.istyles.com/sony-ericsson-sony-ericsson-xperia-c-292_532_749.html
There is soooo many to choose from and so many lovely ones. Apparently they also come with a free matching background, where the skin actually matches the screen. SOOOO COOL
But one question, im a noob and i want this but what exactly is it, a sticker, case, What????
sticker...but to me skin is useless. i have xperia skin at home..but i paste it on a paper, cuz im not using it. i prefer case. but not the type where it "FAT-ASS" it.
wow those are some really cool skins!
oh so is a sticker?looks nice....
Nice find!!!
I've heard that is good ones, but for my case is case anyway.
Very nice styles! Thanks for the hint!
Are there maybe some cases like those? Im not accurate enough i think :b
that's looks dope love it.
Awesome.. i ordered this one.
I WANT IT!
Hey guys, i haven't ordered one yet but i want to wait until someone can tell me, especially OmegaRed, if the order was successful and you received it without any problems. Please also describe it when you get it
Thanks

I was informed there was a store nearby were i live.
Gona go check it out today.
Very nice, how long it will to keep on the phone?
It's actually very nice. i didn't buy one they ordered the one i wanted.
But they showed me one that was in a i-phone.
Looks great.
I haven't bought one for my X10 since I would rather have a hard case than stickers but the rest of my family wanted some for their phones so since apparently I'm the only person in the house who is savvy enough to purchase things online I ordered a couple a while ago and they all arrived after about 2 weeks. the quality is actually quite good, though I'd recommend you pay the extra $2 for the Matte coating.
Another cool thing is that after your first purchase any time you buy another skin they give you a small discount (think it's like $2).
So yeah, if anyone is worried about the quality or reliability of the skins I've applied three to different phones and they are easy to put on and look great with the matching wallpapers which are really easy to get too.
Just got mine in the mail today... ordered online and got it pretty quickly...Looks very sharp and it appears like its peelable and you are able to reapply anytime you want. It looks veryyyyy sharp but doesnt offer much protection(obviously just a sticker). Somewhat difficult to put on. Needed help applying mine, but it fits just right when you get it. If you want a sharp look. I recommend this.
Woooooow Very Nicee !!
I will Wait for it
nice news!! pls guys when you'll receive your skins,post some photos..i'm very curios to see how they look!! Thanks

I got one. They're OK,but a bit bulky to be honest. Took 2 weeks to get here. In all honesty, you can get a genuine grip shell for under 8 quid, a much better option. I just bought one yesterday, best thing I've ever put on the phone.

I only bought it yesterday so I haven't used it but based on your description i think i will like it since I do like a bit of extra grip, I think the next time i buy a case it would be the Grip shell, but i am going to wait for either the price to drop or for fake chinese ones to be released since i dont feel like paying £10 for a £95 device Thanks a lot for the description though as i couldnt find any online!

I've bought a yellow one. :good:
i dont like it much, it does not provide much protection, it's not gripy. I'm using a fosmon hyposnap at the moment as an alternative.

I think the grip is actually quite fine, the lip that wraps around the device has a nice texture that incresaes grip and also access to the Moto indent allows for the index finger to hold on to the device too and tbh this case is more for looks than protection and it looks great in the colour red! Also, the seperate buttons for the volume rocker makes this case superb! Its only £2 lol

i didn't mean it doesn't worth it for 2$ I'm saying when we can get something for 5 bucks it doesn't win the competition. it's definitely a better choice than having no case at all, but i don't find it protective enough for me. it's only beautiful.
