Review - Halo® Brand crystal clear screen protector - One (M7) Accessories

Hello all, figured I'd pop in and do a short review/first impression post of some Halo screen protectors I bought on amazon. since buying something for the first time and being nervous on quality can make it hard for someone to make a decision I hope this helps to make it easier. I highly recommend them for affordability, fit, clarity and durability. I've used Halo screen protectors on my precious phone (Evo LTE)) and was also impressed with them. I work in a dusty/grimey shop and my fingers definately put the protector to the test...for roughly 6 bux for a 3 pack they are a great deal too. They are made of a stiffer style plastic that is easy to apply once you verify edge fit and align before releasing the plastic and it sucks itself to the screen. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask and I will try to help/answer as best I can.

I have not used this brand ever but after viewing your reviews would like to try it...well I would say you have a nice case...buddy...

Yea give them a shot...I never heard of the brand until buying for my ego ltd and now for my HTC one. amazon is where I usually get them with free shipping (if you spend a certain amount). In my case they are cut so accurately that you don't have a screen protector edge, they go right to the very edge...

Tpu Cases would probably be your best bet. I currently have a clear Tpu case that was made by a member here on XDA. You can go that route or there is also one that HTC manufactures as well, I just ordered it!

Looks like a nice product however I already have a tpu case and it makes the phone feel cheap for me and I just generally dont like cases. I have the clear lux argyle case, check it out it's not bad for a case.

try Wrapsol, I have used it on my Hero and my EVO. wrapsol.com.
Google "wrapsol coupon code" and you can get some money off too.
If you don't mind the cost, I love my Steinheil Incredible Shield. Best accessory I've bought so far. The body protection film feels just the slightest bit grippy to me which keeps the oil off you hands from making the phone slippery, and the screen protector is crystal clear and smooth as glass, and doesn't affect the touch screen sensitivity. The Incredible Shield comes with both the body and screen films. I don't have enough posts to post the link, but I'll PM it to you
First post here, been lurking for awhile. I personally like the skins offered by Best Skins Ever. They are $7.99, fit perfectly, no "orange peeling", and offers protection for the front screen, battery cover, kickstand, camera lens, and all four sides of the phone. I've used the InvisibleShield before and I feel that it is too thick, too much drag on the screen. The BSE provides better protection without the drag.
Invisishield is pretty sweet too....you can get it for just the screen or the entire phone...I had it on my hero so I had to have it on my evo too....

Can't go wrong with the INVISIBLESHIELD. Plus u get a lifetime warranty
I have the Zagg INvisibleSheild and I like it.. It has a different feel to it than just the screen, but for me it feels better.. I got mine at Bestbuy, just have them pricematch ZAGG so you don't get ripped off (as bad)..
Yeah....when I got mine over my whole phone best buy was having a $1 install special

Check out my signature for a great option. And since they are new they are selling them very cheap! I have only had one on it for the last 5-6 months now.
Stealth Guards.......pretty much the same thing as InvisibleShield but FREE.
I ordered one for all my phones. Just pay the $2.?? s/h. Well worth it.

Do not buy Phantomskinz for Evo. They sent me two of them. I installed and left on for 24 hours. My first impressions was "Wow!". Not much orange peel and feels nice. I have it on wife's iphone and sony camera, but they dont go through the same abuse as my Evo. I usually keep my EVO and carkeys in the same pocket. A few days later there is wrinkles all over my skin and it doesnt heal itself. Thought maybe defective, so i applied the second skin. A few days later same issue. Contacted their customer service and here is their response:
"Issue is the glass screen of the Evo. We call it a hardened glass screen. Unfortunately it reacts differently to the skin then normal devices would and the skin does not heal as it would on other devices. However, we never recommend keeping your phone in the same pocket as your keys. Our skinz are made to self heal small scratches and dents but this is pushing it a little far. I would recommend installing the second Evo Screen that was included in your kit if it is still available. I would also recommend separating your keys and cell phone."
I bought the skin so i can protect my phone from the car keys and she's telling me to keep them separate. Also, i moved from regular plastic screen protector and never had this issue. When i told them i used up both screens included, they asked to go through normal warranty and pay $3 for a replacement skin. Pay more money for skin they admit does not work on my Evo. No thank you. I have ordered from BestSkinEver and will review once i apply it.
I've attached some photos and video that I sent to their customer service.
Just wanted you guys to know that my local Sprint store repair center guy told me last week that if I put an invisibleshield on my phone, it'll void the warranty because it requires water to put it on.
I've got the invisibleshield on my iPad and love it...can anyone confirm this from their local Sprint repair center?
I use stealthguards and for the most part they're great. I have never used any solution like those before on my previous phones so I don't know how it compares to all the other "self healing clear skins" but for the stealthguards, u do notice its not as clear as normal screen protectors especially when the screen is off but the I personally love the feel of it and it works great. I've noticed that at the malls they have kiosks that sell "Ghost Armor" clear protectors and they apply it on the spot for you so you can also try those...
Go with best skins ever. BSE FTW!

Trident Cyclops Case

Does anyone have any experience with this case? It looks nice.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Trident-Cyclops-Case-HTC-MYTOUCH-4G-BLACK-/260734155166?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cb4f7799e#ht_500wt_1156
hhmm looks interesting
Yeah it does... I think I am about to buy one...
Well, I just bought it. If anybody wants, I can post pics or do a review when I get it... Just let me know..
alright ! sounds good man, i was waiting for the otterbox but i might have to give this a try first lol
make a mini review when you do get it
thanks!
Will do. Should be in by Friday-Monday it says.
It was the only positive thing about my Vibrant. I have a very disappointing Seidio case on my MT4G that was waiting on an Otterbox but will soon be covered in a Trident.

heres an video on the cyclops case
looks nice

Okay, this is definitely the best case I've ever had (Other MT4G cases I've had are: silicone, black rubberized hard case, and clear hard case). It does add some bulk, however. The material is very high quality and sturdy. There is NO creaking or anything like that. The video right above pretty much shows you everything about it, so I won't go into those details because it is much more effective to actually see it. If I can get a picture of my phone next to another MT4G without a case, I will post that. While it does add some thickness, you can't get true protection like this without a little thickness. Overall, it is a very high quality case, and I am happy with it. If you have any questions, just ask, and I will answer them for you.
Does this case like to collect dust that's all I need to know before I order it

Ordered on ePay from the Oregon seller. It arrived at my doorstep here in the SE in 2 days. Nice case - the design is well thought out and most of all, IT FITS! I kept the Realook and it took a minute or two to install. Looking through their current product offering, I see holsters and I am hopeful one will follow soon for this case.

How hard is the case to take off? I was planning on charging batteries via external charger.
- Frank
I think the case is sold out for now.
Also, the case is not hard to take off at all. I did it yesterday while I was driving a manual car in traffic on the highway. Lol...
And one side note, I do notice that the outer silicone case around the edges of the phone does attract some lint after being in a linty pocket, but I love the case overall.
Just got my yellow and black one its awesome I order mines directly from the site http://www.tridenteer.com/categories/HTC-myTouch-4G/Cyclops-Series-by-Trident-Case/

too bad it doesn't come with the kickstand. I'll stick with the one i got from tmobile now. The kickstand is absolutely invaluable.
Oh hell... I just watch the video. Nice. The deal maker for me was finally finding a quality screen protector that covers the entire front side. I also like the fact that the hard case is easy to take off.
Buying this now. Amazon Prime....
Edit: Screw Amazon on this one. "Takes two to three weeks to ship" - yet they have it on Prime. Will just buy directly from the makers.
Does the screen protector effect the proximity sensor? I've had the proximity sensor lock up the phone from being able to hang up on some screen protectors.

It hasn't affected it for me in about 2 weeks of use.

Fosmon screen protector- fit

I've read good reviews about the Fosmon Crystal Clear protector here, but on Amazon many reviews complain about it being too small. Can anyone using this confirm either way?

I think they might purposefully be cut short to accommodate for a case.
I was able to snatch a 3 pack for 2 dollars and what à steal!!! Cant be beat for the fit is fine. Its perhaps half a milimeter short in all directions.

Dry application.
They run a bit small, pretty much a full 1mm on each side. When I first put it on, I lined it up too close to one edge because u didn't realize how short it was in the other.
Using a tpu case, I found that parts of the edge could get pushed up by the lip of the case, reinstalling the screen protector square fixed this. You get used to it being short, even though I wish they gave just an extra mm height wise. The quality of the screen protector is good, clarity and feel are excellent, cleans easy enough, and I haven't picked up any scratches yet.
I actually ordered the supcase screen protectors that supposedly fit to 0.3mm, as well as the amfilm ones that are 50 cents shipped right now. I'll report my findings later.
I like it, it was inexpensive, it came with 3 which was good because I messed up the first application. It is very clear, a bit small but I guess that's for cases.

Both mine had a defect in them when I received them, not happy with them at all but the price was great. Not really worth getting replaced as I'm sure they'll charge shipping or something. You ever deal with their warranty?

Protector quality overall isnt the best ........plus with the screen protector you dont even get the solution ....you have to make your own solution with soap water....i actually used a left over from zagg I ordered both the front and the back ...and putting the back protector is a pain ...the front one aint that bad....i would though honestly prefer zagg any day over it ...specially if yuo pay the full retail of $10

Ordered from them many times before...I never pay more than 70% off. Just bought it at 75% off yesterday. They cut the film...sometimes you will get defective film or the computer incorrectly cuts it. Just email them..they will send you out replacement for free...no shipping charges. A couple times they shorted me some items...email them and got them in a few days.
Personally, I rather pay $2.50 for full body protector than $20-30 for Zaggs. For ~$2 I can several in case I mess up.
I just installed my xtreme guard today. I've had it on every phone and tablet I have ever owned.
I order from eBay as they have eBay account and it's dirt cheap.
One time they messed up my order and they shipped a new one free of charge.
All you have to do is send them an email and they will send right out and you won't have to pay a single penny.
Paid like $3-$5 for full front and back extreme guard and will buy again for sure.
It's very thick and gives the feel of real protection, hard to mess up because you put it on like window tint and best of all it's cheap and their customer support is awesome!
Highly recommend! I can post pics of my pro and wife's iPhone if needed. Also put it on son's iPad after he broke the screen and it's been holding up for almost a year now: )

I bought the extreme guard screen protector for my Nexus 4 on a forum recommendation. NEVER AGAIN!! The screen protector sucks. First tried dry application, bubbles everywhere. removed it and washed it with soap solution. BTW does not include the soap solution. had to make my own with Dawn. Not thrilled about getting the screen wet and solution into the speakers and seams. After curing for 3 days I started using the phone. A week of putting it in my pocket and removing it, the tip of the corner came off. Slowly started to rip the whole corner. I installed another with the same 3 day curing. First try on putting the phone in a bumper case and it ripped the screen protector off the screen. The surface is not smooth and sticky to the skin. I had to use NuTouchHD to make it slippery. Also since it has soap solution underneath the screen protector, freaking rainbow streak everywhere. I urge you not to buy this product no matter how much the discount is.
For easy, dry and bubble free application, I tried Illumishield. It's thicker than Extreme Guard, washable and reusable. No rainbow effect. Use scotch tape to remove lint under the screen if there's lint bubble. I would recommend the illumishield screen protector over extreme guard any day.
I just picked up the 3 pack casemate that ATT sells for 10 bucks. I just used a couple sprays from my left over zagg solution to make it easier to install. Hard to scratch and doesnt peel up like the softer types of screen protector, im satisfied with it. Also, its very clear and doesnt stick to smudges at all (couple wipes from a lense cloth cleans it up).:good:

Word of caution regarding Zaggs screen protector for OGP... It sucks!! I've used the invisible shield before on other devices and I've never had a problem, but I have two major problems with the OGP model, one of which renders the film useless...
1. For some reason, they decided that protecting the home button wasn't important... so instead of them giving you a button film, they just cut around it and below it... so one of the most used things on the phone is not protected...
2. Probably the most important fail of this film is that it's not cut to extend all the way to the edges... it stops short about 3mm all around from the edge... doesn't sound like a big deal right? and I didn't think much of it... until I put my two awesome cases on the phone... what happens? The bezel from the cases sits perfectly over the end of the film so that every time I grip the phone or push one of the side buttons, the film peels up and bubbles... I have to flatten it out over and over again and there's no way to adjust it... this equally sucks because dirt and debris will find it's way under the film and probably cause more damage than if it wasn't there to begin with... Sooooo.... BEWARE!! I'm gonna try the other film mentioned above... Thanks MrNa5ty.:good:
Btw, if you're looking for a good case for your OGP I recommend two that I came across that are relatively cheap and extremely well made (sorry, I can't post the links due to my noob status):
1. "For LG Optimus G Pro E980 T-Stand Impact Kickstand Hybrid Double Layer Fusion Cover Case" - my fav so far, it's solid... it almost feels like an otter box because it has bubber and hard plastic... plus a well made kickstand which comes in handy... and the price? wait for it... wait for it.... 77 cents!!!!!!!! on amazon... a ridiculous steal if you ask me.
2. "GreatShield Guardian S Series Slim Fit S-Line Design TPU Case for LG Optimus G Pro" - Only $7!! on amazon and it's an awesome case and it looks good too.
New code for their site 70OFF
Got mine for $3 shipped!
Just received the first case you recommended. This is a nice case, indeed. Thanks for sharing.

Simple Camera Adjustment

I can feel the hate pouring in now, but I'm gonna go ahead and post this anyway..
I realized I hated using a case on the N5, but the reason I chose to was because of the exposed camera. Even the slimmest case was too big. On all my precious devices, I always went caseless.
So naturally, being the poor college student I am, I pulled out the electric tape and cut a strip that went cleanly from the left side to right, and went right I over the camera. Then I pulled off the piece, and used an exact knife to cut a piece out of the center for the actual camera.
Again, I'm a poor college student that's in love with Android, so this was my best option. It gives the phone this weird industrial feel and look to it, which honestly grew on me. The first 5minutes or so I thought to myself "wow, this is dumb", but I promise you it isn't as bad as what you may think.
Well..I asked for it, let's hear the hate.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
you're still leaving the camera exposed, you got to tape all of it.
It's no lip that'll keep away dust and dirt..So don't drag it on a desk or whatnot, but for the most part it's okay to put it down on a table and not have to worry about that outer ring getting scratched up like others have noticed
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I don't understand why people would hate on it because it is your phone anyway. Do whatever you want with it.
The only thing that in my mind would seem confusing is I know you say you are a poor college student but you purchased a phone that costs $349 + shipping + tax. Why not spend the extra $10-15 to get like a front and back protector from BSE or get a skin. They would contain cutouts that cover the camera glass. Offer that extra little bit of protection.

well its not looking that much weired but you can also mail to have a give away case from some case manufacturers as quite often they offer give aways...companies like Zagg, Casemate, otterbox, Amzer and many more are there...you can attach that pic with your mail then they will surely consider your case... but still I would say being a poor college boy you dare to carry this N5 then do one more dare to carry a good case not much pricey one...... to make your N5 more safe and secure one...

Oh don't get me wrong, I bought three cases and thought they were too big. As for skins, they're mostly "carbon fiber", which are ridiculously slippery in my hands, and I'm not a fan of wet apply skins, so. Yup. And screen protectors for the back? On this phone? If you know of one..please link it...I don't think it's possible to have a screen protector on a bent soft touch back..
