Hi, found this screen protector on HTC europe shop. Bit exepnsive but is it worth it? I mean the screen protector provided byt HTC is really good. THey offer also a 5 pack for 31 euros.
What do you think guys?
It is not expensive. Brando has one screen protector for 10 dollars. Clarivue has 2 for 9,99 US$. So, 5 for 31 euros is cheap.
Thanx for letting me know. Then I'll buy the 5 pack as soon as I can.
why would you want 5 screen protecters. you just can put one on your phone
Go cheap
I bought a set of six really cheap ones on ebay for under 5 euros delivered, and they're excellent... I've had more expensive ones in the past for other devices, and these cheap ones are just as good. Search ebay for elf protectors - the seller is german.
It's all down to how you apply them, as with all screen savers. Even if they say they're removable and washable etc, if you don't get them right first time you're stuffed.
Secret is to get the screen clean first - I use stick tape to pull off all the dust and bits, then apply the protector from one end, using a credit card or something to press down behind it whilst installing.
The screen protector that comes with HTC boxed in India is the worst! Its almost like a cello-tape on big size. Screwed my screen completely when removed. Then I had to use some shampoo for removing the sticky stains.
So carefull sticking..
Regards,
Carty..

check out this site, lots of goodies @ good price!
i had 1 screen protector (orginal) for 10 euro in france
so 5 for 31 euro is a good deal
HTC Orginal protective screen (not the free one they give you)
Just got 6 decent quality protectors for £3.00 inc carriage. Found them on ebay from a UK company - the ebay shop is E-Cell Global. They are miles better than one I got from Play.com, applied easily and I can honestly say they are invisible - i had to double check it was on it! Must be the best bargain ever.
PS: The reason I have been looking for new protectors is because I did a stupid thing with my new HTC Touch Enhanced. I put on the one supplied wth it and it looked rubbbish so i threw it away. After a few weeks use I saw a very small mark on the edge of the screen and lifted it up with my finger nail. Seems the touchpad / digitizer has a very thick plastic protector already on it fitted at the factory. Because I had lifted the edge it looked bad so I pulled the whole thing off. BAD move as the screen underneath it is very easy to damage and I got a few scratches on it before I fitted the new covers above. It now looks as good as new so I seem ot have got away with it.
Has anyone else removed this thick protector? In theory if you got a bad scratch on your screen you could pull this off and wack a new protector straight on fixing the screen for just a few quid.
Hej there,
i got some of these:
http://tinyurl.com/5gaobo
dirt-cheap (especially in euros) and really good quality, easy to apply and no scratches from the stylus at all (the protector i used before got scrachted immediately) ...
and the best thing is it ships free worldwide, really can recommend these
At BOL you can get the original HTC screenprotector. A 2-pack for only 5 euro.
Or.... a whole new digitizer for $10 Euro... I considered the prices of screen protectors and decided to skip placing one on my Touch altogether. I carry mine in the protective pouch and if or when it will get too scratched to look good, I'll just replace the touch screen.

I also decided to skip using the screen protector. I keep mine in it's case all the time (except for when I am using it). I have gone through 2 screen protectors in 6 months - They scratch way too easily if there is even the slightest bit of debris on your finger and they smudge to easily as well. Now that I am not using the screen protector, the screen is clearer, Colours are more vibrant, sensitivity to touch is better and I can write with the stylus better.

Exactly!!! Hated the protector on it too!!! Love the "naked" look and feel.
Chinese screen protectors are available for 1dollar only. im using one & its not too bad. i keep changing evry 2 months.
the screen protector supplied free with it in egypt is very bad it is massively scratched but i hesitste to remove it because it may leave marks of adhesive substance
Any place to buy this in AUS ..i also need a new one..
has anyone here used the TMOBILE "in the box" screen protector ?
mine already had a thin film protector and a spare one in the box ... been using it with thin film one since last few weeks and i am not completely sure if i should change it
any experiences / advice would be highly appreciated ...
Hi, guys, I am looking for a good screen protector for my SGH-i900 Omnia. My requirements are:
- doesn't dim the brightness of the screen (must have superb transperency)
- doesn't impede with the touch sensitivity
- when removed, it must not leave any residue on the screen
- must be non-corrosive to the screen
- must be bonded without any messy spray-type bonding sollutions
- should be anti-glare.
She screen protector should had been used/tested by you or your friends in order to be sure that the upper requirements are met.
This question has been asked over and over, but I'll be nice and throw a name out there in Steinheil.
I'd also recommend the Belkin ones, they have a matte finish to them, giving them a papery feel. I used one on my device (I actually just used one of my extra iPhone ones and cut it to fit) and loved it--as it made my finger scroll more smoothly with the finish. Just my 2 cents, not all protectors are built equally
I would recommend a ZAGG cover. I haven't used one on a touch screen device, but everything I have read says they work great on the iphone, so I will assume it's ok. I just ordered one for my new HTC Pure.
I have had ZAGG on my last 4 phones. They are custom fit, and you can get them to protect your entire phone, not just the screen. They are a little pricey, but trust me, they are worth it.
I have a samsung propel I use as my work cell phone, and the zagg protector on it is 2 years old! after 2 years, the screen is scratch free, and I have not replaces the ZAGG one time. I am an urban entomologist, and spend a lot of time under houses at work, this phone has lasted a long time.
go to zagg's website and look at their iphone scratch proof demo video.. You will see what I mean!
I will post further when I get my new cover in the mail and installed on my touch screen Pure.. Tell you how the touch screen acts with it on..
But I don't like ZAGG InvisibleShield, because when you are mounting it, you have to make your phone wet with some water-like substance.
I recommend you try to get rid of any possible air bubbles.
I just applied a screen protector to my HTC Ozone, and it has some air bubbles. Suffice it to say, it's pretty annoying.
You don't actually wet the device, just the screen cover before it goes on. Like I said earlier, I have had them on 4 other phones (now 5, my zagg came in.. YEA) and have never hurt my phone putting one on.
Follow the directions. Turn phone off, take out battery etc, before installing. It says to wait 24 hrs before turning the phone back on, I just wait about an hour then go on with using my phone.
When I got my pure, it came with a stick on screen protector. I have had the phone a month or so, and that protector was already worn out. I never tried the phones touch screen before installing the original screen protector, so don't know what sensitivity was like w/o, but with the zagg on, the screen is MUCH more responsive!
Anyways, my 2 cents...lol
That's the response I always get. I have the Realook screen protector, I think you can only get it from Amazon.
I've been very happy with Ghost Armor.
I like Seidio's Ultimate Screen Guard.
HTC EVO 4G screen protector
This is where i ordered my screen protector, much cheaper than local shops. crystal and just like you never use a protector on your screen.
I forgot the name brand, but I have a privacy protector. Not because I want to conceal my privacy but because most privacy protectors offer the thickest of SP's!
100% recommend Zagg.
Great protection, dosn't smudge, and lifetime warrenty. I have sent mine back twice now (first time was because I managed to get dirty under it, 2nd because I shattered my screen) and I get a brand new set. Peel it off send it back, done.
Hey,
I agree zagg all day every day! Their protectors are cheap thin, the feel is amazing, they protect from scratches and you can beat them up but it keeps your screen safe! they are easy to apply with solution, and best part when you want a new one just pay a few bucks for shipping send them back the old one and its free!
this video says all! hope i helped!

Zagg is by far the best imho
I had ZAGG on mine for several months. It worked great. I took it off because I didn't like the feeling of it compared to the "glass" feel. I've had it off for a couple months and still no scratches and I like the phone a lot better without it.
I just tried the new anti-glare version from zagg, it was horrible!!! It was like looking through crystallized glass, especially when there was white background. I went back to the original zagg and love it.
I use the one that came with my OtterBox. I thought I was going to hate it but rarely even notice its there any more.
Clarivue. Can barely tell the difference between it and the glass. Just bought my gf some generic ones off Amazon for her shift and the quality was really good for a quarter of the price. Don't think I'll be buying the name brand versions anymore but if I did I'd go with clarivue.

I also use the one that came with my Otterbox case. Before that I also used Invisashield(Spellcheck ).
The touch screen is more prone to breaking from pressure or impact then from scratching.
yess finished my fiends...
I have to say Zagg is the best. For one, if you have them (or someone like best buy mobile install it) both the screen protector and the installation have a lifetime warranty. Meaning if your screen starts to peel off, take it back to Zagg get a new one free, and get the new one put on for free!
i dont like screen protectors and cases and mi phone is perfect but depends how you use it
i've used an the otterbox one for a bit and then a zagg when that wore off but now i have SGP STEINHEIL anti fingerprint one. i didnt really care bout the fingerprint part but liked that it was slightly matte so its wayyy easier to see with sunglasses on
I'm using the one that I came with the otterbox. It has been on since September, with heavy use/abuse. Its just barely starting to peel at the corners.

Zagg since launch day. Has a couple of pretty decent "marks", but when the screen is on you cannot even notice it. It is the only protection that I use. No peeling so far.

Zagg! You cant beat the warranty if something does happen to it. If you can find a kiosk let them install it. Its the only thing I will let someone else work on my phone.
I always use a screen protector on my devices. I ordered one off amazon the same time I ordered my Nexus, but now it seems that the screen protector is not going to arrive at the same time. Will I be ok without a screen protector for a few days? I know it's gorilla glass and likely won't get a big noticeable scratch if I'm careful. What I'm worried about are the fine scratches that you can only see in direct light. Will my fingertips cause these scratches on Gorilla Glass 3?
P.S If anyone on here lives in New Mexico and happens to know a store that is selling screen protectors for the new Nexus 7 that would be great. None of the stores I have visited have any in stock.

Hey,
I used my N7 for a few days before my screen protector arrived. I can tell you that your screen will be fine. Assuming that you'll be careful with it.
-cliew
I've used mine for 10 days now completely naked. Not a single scratch on the screen. I've had it riding in my cars and in my pocket a few times now and I may not get a screen protector after all. So I think you'll be OK. Hope this helps =)
I have used my tablets naked since my first which was a rooted & ROM'd 1st gen NookColor. I have not scratched a single screen on any of them. I tried 'protectors' twice and in both cases tossed in garbage in under a week because they lowered sensitivity. But I also never leave my tablets laying around, if not in current I put them in their case or when in folios I close the folio.
When someone make a screen protector that will actually protect the screen from things like falls or a brick being dropped onto the screen I will give them another try.
I've had a naked LG Optimus G since it came out last year and not a scuff on it... I would say that the modern "glass" that is on these things is quite capable as long as you aren't wearing a ring that will scuff it up..

My local Best Buy store had them in stock when I picked up my FLO. Not cheap, but decent.
I used to have all kinds of protection on my devices. Nowadays I rock my Nexus 4 naked, except for when theres a high risk situation - e.g. Off to the woods or sailing. For this I usually use only a back protector or bumper.
My Nexus 7 still haven't got any protection, but I'm probably getting it a sleeve for travel or something resembling a 'smart cover'.
Anyway, the glass used in the latest devices is pretty sturdy, so it's not easy to scratch..

That's why I said New Mexico though. I've called every Best Buy in town and no one has any screen protectors.
Last time I used a screen protector on a device was the G1. I've never had scratches on my phones. My Note 2 is always in my pocket with keys, change, etc. My N7 will remain naked. I want nothing to distract from this beautiful screen.
The only real danger to scratching these screens is sand.
Seems the Nexus does not have Gorilla Glass but some other kind, just one notch below the much desirable Gorilla Glass...

I am thinking of getting a screen protector for my moto g. I know it has gorilla glass 3, but i hate scratches on the screen so much I am still considering giving it a bit more protection. Had a look on amazon, not a lot of choices. In fact this seems to be the only good one. It has no reviews, so thought i'd share it here and get some opinions.
PS: Am i being too weird? Is the screen already safe enough? let me know
Clear protector: link
Antireflex protector: link
It will be my first smart phone, so I got the flip case/cover for the all around protection, but yeah, if you just want it for the screen, I guess it's an OK choice. Though I've read some people don't like the feel of those protectors.
My Dad has a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman and it just has a "Scratch-resistant glass" and it has no protection at all it has been 2 years but there is not even a single scratch on it and I know how rough he uses the phone so there is no need for extra protection
Watch the scratch test video! They used even a knife but the screen was like new

I am just a bit of a freak when it comes to scratch on glass
I went to the beach with my Samsung S4 and it got scratched, but luckily I did have a screen protector on. So yes gorrila glass protects against knifes but it won't protect it from sand
@theArchitektas
Where did you get flip case from? Pretty sure they are not selling them yet
I have the atFolix ones on order from Amazon; were dispatched last week but still waiting. I'm the same, I always put screen protectors on my phones; the only exception is my Lumia 920 as it has a curved screen and I couldn't find a decent one to apply (even the official one was no good)!

I guess I didn't put it clear. I pre-ordered it from Amazon UK, haven't received yet.
If anyone can find a glass screen protector for the Moto G please let us know. So far I haven't found a glass one anywhere. I can't stand the plastic ones, but the glass ones (like the ones made by SPIGEN) fell just like the original screen.
didn't find one glass screen protector for MOTO G...if someone has found it then do share the link...desperately want one to gift to my friend on Christmas......
Thanks in advance.....
Did anyone find one in Mexico City?

I can strongly confirm. When I had mine I scoured the interwebs looking for a protector and couldn't find a good one. But I had min for about 1.5 yrs and had NO SIGNIFICANT SCRATCH. There would probably be small lines near the SE logo... but you would have to peep closely to notice.
I think I might order mine without the SP and decide to get one later.
Try xtremeguard website use coupon code cyber85 and mystery for 90% off paid $2.79 for 3 screen protectors xD

I'm one of those people who can't bear to leave the house without a screen protector. I've made my own by cutting an iPad screen protector to size. Looks ok to my eyes, though I'll treat myself to a decent one when they become available.

I could, though the Moto X itself isn't sold in the UK. I wanted an immediate solution so I wouldn't have to leave it unprotected but I'm happy enough with the outcome to wait until some decent screen protectors arrive on the UK market.
I brought a case which is actually quite decent and it came with an OK screen protector. I applied it like a 2 year old so ended up taking it off and throwing it. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=161166397679
I saw a Samsung reps galaxy note 3 the other day that he had in his pocket with keys and everything and the screen was scratched really badly, not just a little and that apparently has gorilla glass 3

People who say only things of a certain hardness will scratch Gorilla Glass are talking rubbish. Either that or the phones I've seen in CeX - no more than two month old devices in some cases, with screens that look like they've been sandpapered - have been kept in the same pocket as someone's beach samples.
BEWARE the moto g does scratch quite easily, I know this because mine slid off the chair and the screen cracked and had scratches all over it, I now have got a replacement moto g and put a screen protector on from day one !

If you are spending $200 on something that could be damaged a good screen protector is cheap insurance.
We replaced my wife's Nexus S (bought the first month they came out) with a Moto G. She never had a screen protector. She has one bad scratch in the Nexus screen http://www.patentlystupid.com/sw/nexus.png sorry the pic is blurry but I took it in the dark with only a blue LED flashlight to highlight the scratch. Now keep in mind the Nexus S did not have Gorilla Glass. My guess is my wife's diamond ring hit the screen while she was rooting around in her purse one day. That is the only bad scratch on this 3 year old device.
A friend of mine likes to carry high end ($300+) pocket knives made by Bench Made, they constantly scratch is screens and he has resorted to using Spigen Glass screen protectors and these too get badly scratched by the metal edges of these hardened knives. He has replaced several already.
So no you are not being too weird or paranoid. I use Spigen Glas-Tr myself. I have no scratches on it yet, but I would rather replace the $30 screen protector than the screen on my $650 SGS4. Just make good sense.
I have put a cheap plastic protector on my wife's Moto G screen. I will replace it with a tempered glass one as soon as I find one I like.
screen protector ensures higher resale value, and since I sell my old phones on craigslist/ebay, I put protector on every single time. Sometimes $.99 stores sell iphone screen protector n I use it as temporary one until I wait to receive one I ordered online.
As for Moto G, I received the phone today and learned that the cover that comes with the phone CAN be used as a screen protector. Those M logo and motorola name on it? You can scratch them off with your fingernail.
