Hi i've found in Toch package one film with the same shape of display,someone know if this are spare part or is additional protection and should be placed?
Today my friend show me his Htc touch with this "film" placed and so is start discussion with him about the use destination.
Thank you in advance.
It has to be placed as it is called a screen protector. Not using one would lower your PDA resell value has you will probably get scratch on your screen after a few weeks.
Be carefull when setting this up, as it need a very clean screen, and a dust (nearly) free environment. A bathroom after a hot shower is the perfect place to set this up.
Yes, it is a screen protector. It is a bit ticky to fix. To make it easy to align you may sprinkle some water on the adhesive side and apply to the screen and align. Gently press out thewater with a stiff paper and also to displace air pockets. If some water droplets still remain under the sheet do not bother. It will all dry out within 3 days and result in a clear bright screen.
Thank
thank guys, was thinking is spare part because the default protections of display look like removable and so i've supposed replacement part.....but wasn't
Ok just placed
I'll have mine by the end of the week.
I store mine in my pocket and it seems the protector would peel off from repeatedly taking it in and out of your pocket since the screen is flush.
Anyone have any experience with this?
Does anyone knows if these HTC protectors (not some cheap 'fits all' protector) can be bought seperately? I applied mine right after i've got my phone it but was a bit sloppy with all the excitement and when re-fitting it some dust got underneath it, leaving me small airbubbles. If anyone has a link to how/where, it'd be much appreciated.
you can remove it, wash with some soap and then apply it once again, no need to buy a new one.
The HTC ones can be removed, washed and re-applied too? Can someone confirm this, coz I only read this could be done with the better ones from expanys or something
where to buy protector film?
T-mobile told me to go to dangaard.com
but i can not find the accesory's for the touch and the site is only for store's
so i went back to the the store asking if they can order the screen protectors for me the did not want to order it for, but i got one extra from there demo model, so my tip is.. go to shop and ask if they have spare protector from the demo model
How about the exim screen protectors? I have heard that those are "high quality" films... (pda-now.com)
expansys has some good ones, PPCTech and ORA: http://www.expansys.com/a.aspx?i=149713&atype=SCREPROT
Proporta ones are decent too www.proporta.com
Wondering if anyone try this

Really want to know how good they are, they claim to be totally protective. I am a bit skeptical, any thoughts?
I have been very happy with these skins from Boxwave. Very easy to slip on when needed. Used these with my Trinity as well. I have not tried the ones with the cover. The Touch with skin is still smaller than the Trinity.
http://www.boxwave.com/products/flexiskin/flexiskin-htc-touch_2727.htm
Edit:
Just noticed they offer a Skin + ClearTouch screen protector package
http://www.boxwave.com/products/bun...skin-and-cleartouch-bundle-htc-touch_2727.htm
This is something similiar to what I post earlier, they warrant for the life of your device that you will never get a single scratch on it after you provide their full body protective film. Wouldn't this be cool, without the bulk of a case, yet, still achieve the same protection. If anyone have a chance, browse thru their site ,they have a video demonstration to show u the force thatf film able to withstand.

I'm interested to know this too, is washable?
Some photos...
I personally don't like the front cover, the shiny effect doesn't look right in this phone (at least for me), the back cover is fine....
The installation is more or less easy, after some minutes the covers really stick to the phone, if you don't like the result you can remove very carefully the covers, wash them and repeat the process again
Pros:
- Removable and washable.
- Resistant (apparently).
- Inexpensive.
Const:
- A bit shiny for my taste.
- Good for scratches but not to drops
--------------------
Talking about the original HTC protective film... Yep! it is washable
What the.....CONDENSATION!!!!!

man! are u really serious. i mean a bathroom and especially after a hot shower wud be the last place i wud attempt to do something like sticking a protective film on my PDA. i mean think a little science man. after a hot shower condensation [stage when the vapor above cools back to liquid] is surely a threat inside a bathroom, and while you try to stick the film, condensed vapor or mist to be precise might come in between your pda and the film. then all you will ever have is a smudged all white screen which you cant wipe off even, cos its between the layers.
so i m jus telling you cos i had seen a lot of incidents like this specially where hot vapor just cooled off is around!!!!!
No harm done! Just my scientific mind thinking a lot!!!!!!!
.....
i did a post some days ago about shieldzone. i used the invisible shield for a couple of days and the only thing thats really terrible is the reflection of the cover, as you can see in the pix abough.
so i searched again for a good display protection and bought a product from 3M, named vikuiti, armr200. for me its the best i ever saw.
# Anti-Fingerprint Layer
# 2 times Anti-Reflection Coating
and a very strong material.
i tried a lot to scratch the layer, but it was not possible.
Look at this, its a german site. if you google for it you'll find a site in your language for sure.
http://www.schutzfolienscout.de/vikuiti-armr200-schutzfolie.html
I have the 3M Vikuiti, armr200 for my Fujitsu P1610. It works quite well, not totally clear like those crystal clear type films, so you will lose some contrast and clarity, but for anti-reflective, it's the best you can buy. (and it's quite pricey).
One bad thing is that it reduces outdoor visibility quite a bit, you'll need to crank your backlight for outdoor use.
And it still shows fingerprints, actually they are quite noticeable due to the AR layer, but it's much easier to clean than other AR coatings.
One thing though, unless 3M is going to make one specifically for the HTC Touch, it will be a PITA to cut to the proper shape, since the clear cover is not a rectangular shape.

I wouldn't worry about it, I've used the steamy shower "poor man's clean room" technique many times, never had an issue with condensation stuck under the film. If anything, any liquid will help to avoid air bubbles and can be squeegeed out. Some films (namely 3M's paint protection films) require liquid to install properly.
DBA is a lesser-known company specializing in phone cases and screen protectors. One of their newer products, the "Just Like Glass®" screen protector promises to be the best screen protector you'll ever have.
Here's what Scott of DBA has to say about the screen protector:
We also had an independent third party test directly against ZAGG and destroyed them.
Testing with Laser Beams for distortion, regular glass of course had 0, Just Like Glass had 11.50, and Zagg had 666.
ZAGG doesn't even claim to increase the break resistance of the glass while ours has tested for an increase of near 40%.
In a wear test equivalent to putting it in and out of your pocket ZAGG showed wear after 345 times and our showed no wear even after 10,000.
ZAGG is more scratch resistant but at the cost of creating the distortion. And the difference isn't that great.
Just like glass screen protectors are stain proof. You can get makeup on the, dirt, oil, dye, etc... and you can wipe it off. ZAGG you can't. I personally tested ours with a black sharpie (not really the best decision looking back on it) and it did come off with a little elbow grease.
As far as being smoother than glass, if you use glass as the baseline Just Like Glass is 20% smoother while ZAGG was -147%. You can really feel it.
Ours don't have the orange peel effect that ZAGG does.
I wouldn't be doing this at all if I didn't have something that I would use and that was better than everything else.

It's a wet-application (like ZAGG), but the included application kit makes it easy. This protector covers the viewing area, allowing it to work with cases perfectly.
It looks very promising and costs only $13.50 (by comparison, the ZAGG protector is $14.99).
Here's the site: DBA "Just Like Glass®"
I had a heck of a time getting it out of the plastic and in the process it got dimples from trying to pull it out. I contacted them to see if they will get a replacement sent out what a bad experience because they decided to make the plastic bag it comes in too damn tight with no leeway at all. The other con I noticed is it says to use a hard card but it does not come with one so I used the squeeze I have from Skinomi that I used on the Transformer Prime tablet.
Now I do have to admit it does feel like glass and not the soft rubbery feel I am use to with my mothers Skinomi. I always hate how the Skinomi drags on the tablet but this no drag at all. I will let you know how customer support is like after contacting them for a replacement for this one that got dimpled getting it out of the too tight plastic bag. Next time I will use a knife to cut the bag instead of trying to pull it out.
Oh and one more thing no sensitivity decrease at all that I can tell. I will try to get some pictures of it with my mothers camera to post but just to let you know it just a few mm larger than the screen so only covers the screen so great for cases.
I also tested the permanent marker on a piece of the excess plastic that I pulled it from and the marker after drying wiped right off so definitely appears to hold up to the claim of stain proof.
I guarantee you they will have issues calling it glass. You guys have no idea how dumb people are when it comes to these things.
Now I'm curious.
How was the fit on the screen? Full to the edge coverage? Custom cutouts or just a chunk cut out?
I'm interested in this. Anyone else who bought willing to share?
Ok here is the pictures I promised. BTW I was not able to attach the pictures here got a security token was missing error.. any idea why? I was only able to attach picture by uploading from a picture site like Photobucket. Anyways I think I did a pretty good job of these pictures and you will see the 3 blemishes/dimples I caused pulling the protector out of the plastic but it came out better than I thought it would for only my second wet application install.
The fit is just about 1-2 mm larger than the screen so it only covers the screen and really works well with my case. The case is quite narrow for one with a kickstand and been very happy with the $10 purchase for it.

Everyone in every retail setting will tell you customers are dumb. Letting those customers know on a forum is a bad thing for your business.
From the DBA website, it appears that this is a fairly new company; a start-up by one individual. Do we have any independent evaluation of his claims regarding his screen protector and cases?
So this only covers the screen area and not the full frontal glass?

Yes just like the pictures show. You can see the edges on the top down view of the phone. It's the area I was worried about and it is not rubbery or tacky like on my mothers Skinomi.

Yeah it's not a bad price and definitely not rubbery/tacky at all. BTW if you have any other questions on it let me know I'll answer to the best of my knowledge this was my first actual review so hope I covered all the bases in what was important to know Hope it was useful to you all.
Just Like Glass Screen Protectors
Hey all,
I'm not really new but I tend to post on other forums. I come here for the good stuff on rooting.
I'm the CEO of DBA Cases, Inc.
I did start the company, however I had several investors. After having an Original Droid, a Bionic, and a Galaxy Nexus I had a very good idea of what people liked.
Personally I hated screen protectors and was not going to sell one until we came up with this. I have it on my phone and love it. It protects against breaks as well - my photographer asked me why I went into making cases so I took the phone out of the case and it squirted out of my hand - hit the wall and then our tile floor. No damage at all to the phone but a very small micro scratch on the Just Like Glass Protector. It probably would have shattered. I've found that the most you can do is give it micro scratches - you can't feel them or see them with the screen on. That's what I got from the fall and it doesn't bother me at all.
I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Nice idea but I can not buy any case without a kickstand I watch alot of videos on mine.

I completely understand. I wanted to put a kickstand on the Ultra but it would have been too bulky. Also the cost of adding a kickstand is nearly the same amount as making the mold for the case.
I have a different solution I use.
I'm planning on making my own stand but I have them wherever I may need it.

While I'm taking pictures...
The Ultra and the Thin Grip
Please ignore the mess behind them.
The case does not look that much skinnier than the Amaze I am using which does have a kickstand.
Promising
Looks pretty cool. How does it keep your screen safe? doest it last well?
SSHGuru said:
How can you tell how thin the cases are from my picture
Stands must be made out of polycarbonate or abs in order to hold the case up. That means some bulk. It doesn't have to be a ton but I looked into a ton of stands and didn't decide to do it.
I wanted to - in fact I was going to make a stand of the same material they use in snap watches would would be made of TPU. Press a button and the stand comes out and can bend.
Problem is that it increases the cost of the case by at least $10,000. In fact I was talking to the CEO of another case company last week and he said it took three molds to make his stand. That's a ton of money.
Since I had a budget I decided to do without - some day.
Both of my cases could not be any thinner than they are.
Click to expand...

I was looking at the depth where the camera lens is. Yes it is a thinner but I was just commenting not that much thinner considering that the Amaze is a bit thicker with the kickstand. I really am impressed how thin the Amaze is with a kickstand as most are bulky considerably with a kickstand. The sides look the same almost in width as yours but the back is probably about twice as thick as yours due to the kickstand. It may not be a very strong kickstand but strong enough for regular use as long as don't drop it with it out as it has the really skinny piece of support plastic that holds it open the other part of the kickstand is quite thick. The stand itself is about 2mm thick and the plastic support is only I would say about 1mm thick.
Now the screwdriver portion was not that impressive as there is no way to tell how much force is being used each time. But the screwdriver and rotary was quite impressive as there was no getting around how hard the screen was being hit by that key. The only thing I notice is the oil from my hands tends to smudge the screen more than the glass but for the protection I can live with that but would be nice if they found a way to eliminate some of the smudges with it. Other than that really happy with the screen and registering on the site for the replacement so I can get this one replaced without the 4 dimple spots. BTW a video installing it would be a good idea I used the shower method in bathroom for dust and lint.

We are going to do a video soon for installing but the instructions on the site are the newest versions. Doing it in the shower is the safest method but if I suggest it people probably will freak out about how hard it is when it's really pretty easy.
In the video that was a glass puncher. I know it's hard to tell how hard it's being pushed but it's the same force. One is done on the film which stops the force and one on the glass which does not. The key test was pretty intense and then taking the rotary to it was cool. (if people are wondering it's on the Facebook page).
Samsung with the Galaxy Nexus and the S3 have made great glass that doesn't pick up prints. The one irritation about the protector I have is that it does. Not terribly but I'm used to not worrying about it. We are working on a way to get rid of the micro scratches and the fingerprints. The problem is if we add a layer it makes it feel more plastic and ruins the visibility. It has to be a chemistry solution and I didn't take chemistry in college so I just ask them to try...

I wonder how these screen protectors compare to the ZAGG EXTREME
Hey guys!!
I am looking for some insight on my choices for accessories!
Anyway been using the phone (still have the plastic it came with on it!) So far so good, phone is one hell of an upgrade. Been using it for lots of use cases, even done some homebrew with some engineering/science simulation and running codes/processes on it. USB otg coming with it is a godsend for external capabilities. Edge display isn't annoying, i get the full screen and plus the edge as an extra.
Now I am thinking of getting scratch resistance screen and back protector since the phone is "shatter proof" to a degree and I will be also getting a case, something strong but small profile like speigen (with a tpu layer maybe? never used tpu layer cases before on my note 3). My issue is that aparently it scratches easily, but based on Cornings damage control they say its more due to micro material chaffing off the tool than the actual glass scratching easier? Don't know what to believe, I wanna take precaution on an expensive phone right?
So I got a clearplex screen protector from best buy today. Its been 6 hours since application and it seems to have cured in, no microbubles and anything liquid is gone, making sure the edges cure to before i put it into my spigen slim armor case which should hopefully not peel the protector off.
Now that I have it kind of fall/shatter proof and scratch proof I am wondering if I need anything to cover my back as well for when i switch cases or go bare. I still have the plastic film that came with the phone on the back. Anyone ever keep it there? Or should i remove it? Are plastic protectors for the phone back needed if i have also a case?
I decided to switch carriers and try a new smart phone and went with Tmobile and a Galaxy 20S. I was surprised on how slim and light the phone is upon picking it up. The retail store did not have any cases I liked so I ordered a case off Amazon and decided to not take my phone out of the house until I had a case for it. Well......
I had my phone for about 4 days using it in the house. My phone was sitting on the arm rest of my couch and slid off , dropped and landed on the laminate floor. A fall of less than 20". The rear glass cover is cracked on opposite corner edges.
My phone and camera work fine but I am simply amazed at how fragile the 20S is or maybe its just my 20S. I have no idea if its a factory defect and I have never seen anything like it. Its really more fragile than an egg. If the phone is this delicate it should come WITH some type of case or more durable gorilla glass. I am 57 years old and owned several brands of smart phones ( coming from an LG V30) and I have never dropped or broken a phone before in my life. Be aware my cracked 20S could be a fluke or a sign of a bigger issue. Now I need to find a place to replace mt rear cover.
The Galaxy 20 S needs a GOOD case so be advised if you have one be darn careful with it. The quality of the phone ( use) is excellent , its the durability issue that makes me concerned. If a laminate floor cracked the rear glass a drop on concrete will likely kill the phone. Pretty sad for a device that costs a grand or more.
Depends on which angle your phone falls, it is just glass. Gorilla glass is anti scratch but not anti crack.
Also the phone comes with a case, it's in the box and I will recommend you use it while waiting for the better one you ordered on Amazon to arrive.
Glass is glass and glass will break.

Just got to be careful of where you put and how you handle it.
I haven't dropped or broken a phone or misplaced one in 12 years.
Mainly because i see the item as $$$ and to get $$$ took me months of hard work.
It's WAY more break prone than other phones.
Watch and wait . Great phone for function and features, build durability is iffy at best,IMHO.
If you spend over a thousand dollars for a phone in this day and age a good case is mandatory. Otherwise you are just playing Russian Roulette and sooner or later it's gonna fall on the floor. I love the OtterBox cases. I had the commuter for many years for the S7 edge and Note 8. When I got the Ultra 512 gb I want with the Defender Pro and glad I did. First day I got the phone it was knocked off the kitchen table at work and landed on a concrete floor. Not even a scratch. So you can either wait for your beautiful caseless phone to shatter when you have an oooops moment or you can invest in a top quality case.
Everyone, well most of us, have heard the expression you cannot have your cake and eat it too!
This applies well to our beloved smart phones.
You can have something durable in its creaky, plasticky, feels like a piece of s4!+ design and all (Blackberry anyone?) that can be kicked, tossed, dropped, etc. Doesn't need a case at all.
Or the latest designs that are thin, glass on front and back with metal trim that feel like quality in hand with no squeaks or twists when handled. But if you drop them without a case you will regret it! Even if the glass doesn't chip or break there will be nicks/scratches in the bezel/frame that gets the best of the OCD types.
So now we have cases that are essentially mandatory to everyone that has to carry their devices around. The best cases combine looks/feel while offering adequate protection and then some are purely based on protective qualities alone that make our phones feel like bricks!
I do like thin cases like Pitaka but also will use something with a bit more protection if I'm running around outdoors or up in the air (tower/ladder/tree) etc. I used to use a rigid holster that would fit a specific case but gave up on those due to having to buy so many. And they didn't actually protect the screen as well as you'd think. I use a pouch now with a clip for belt and has a loop that my Grip6 belt can pass through making it utterly impossible to lose the pouch with phone safely inside.
The only thing I haven't figured out is how to make a case puppy teeth proof!
Irony :
Designing something for great looks and feel.
Has to be put in a case that wipes out the looks and feel.
Don't get me wrong, I do love the phone but it really is delicate. Sometimes adding thicker glass or raised impact frame is better for function and longevity.
This is the 1st smart phone I have damaged from a very minimal drop. The plus version I think has a raised camera module that takes a beating from setting it down on a flat surface. I almost selected that one for the bigger battery and glad I got the S20. The S20 will be a money maker for repair shops.

The Ultra has a raised camera lens too, but the silcone case im using is just right enough to make it flush so theres no problem with putting it down for me.
Damage the front glass, display or camera module and a $109 rear cover will be a bargain.

If it's flush, it would still come into contact with any surface you placed it on. I'm having a hell of a time finding a case that maintains a thin profile but has raised edges along the camera so that it can be recessed. In the meantime I use a little tempered glass protector back there. But it sucks cause it smudges easily and isn't as easy to clean. The search continues.

Its flush, but for example if i wet the surface with a cloth then place my phone down. The case is wet, the camera lens is dry.
I had my Razr in my back pocket the other week, and when i sat down in a car i heard a quiet cracking noise, the back glass cracked.... How hard is it to swap and are they really that brittle? Thanks!
I can't speak for how hard it is to install the new one but it's literally just a piece of glass with the adhesive strips. It'd be pretty trivial with a spudger/knife and a heat-gun. It looks like the going rate for a new one is around $100USD from AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002618579898.html
Glass only bends so much. It's neither solid nor liquid, an amorphous solid. A bizarre material, the laws of hydraulics can apply to it. Making some of it's behaviors seem baffling.
I have a Note 10+, which is huge. I always wear bdu pants. The thigh cargo pockets are perfect for phones.
Watch a tear down vid of that phone before you dig in. Take your time and have a OEM seal kit to close it back up.

In case phone is used without protecting case, highly recommend putting hydrogel film on the phone back and front glass panell, it's literally invisible but create extra protection as well a makes phone less slippery in hands.
Putting hydrogel screen protector on internal display is a different story, I have it on and so far no issues after few month.

Welcome to XDA
You really need a good case to protect from face plants and corner hits when drop as well as from being flexed. Any impact that can bent the frame or shatter the display can damage chipsets and the mobo by high G loading alone. A good case spreads out the impact G loading spike making drops survivable.

Any impact that can bent the frame or shatter the display can damage chipsets and the mobo by high G loading alone. A good case spreads out the impact G loading spike making drops survivable.

True, after using phone for few weeks with just hydrogel film on it I've ordered few cases on Amazon to get more protection. I was looking for compact phone thus chosen Razr and don't want to add any bulk to it.
Finally ended up with evutec carbon case, may be not super protective comparing to others but it's almost perfect in terms of look & feel. Hydrogel film still used along with the case and completely invisible.

Yeah it's a trade off.
Sometimes it's more practical to tether the phone if you have a tether point.
BDU pants have cargo pockets that are perfect for stashing phones.
Belt pouches are another option.
The occasional fast as on ice slipe/hip-shoulder fall/landing on the phone side might not end well.
There's only so much you can reasonably do.
