how many of you guys are using screen protectors? im using one, but it keeps getting dirty every 2 weeks. im beginning to think if its even necessary to have one for my device.
It depends on what you mean by dirty. In a way you have answered your own question. If you didn't have a screen protector, your screen is potentially left open to abrasive scratches. My understanding is that once a screen is scratched, tough. It's much easier to replace a protector than a damaged screen.
I didn't realise how delicate screen protectors were when I applied the one that came with the MDA. I've just replaced my original thin protector with a Hightec one from durasec £7.95 from Ebay. They also do thinner ones for less. Like everything in life, you get what you pay for.
Bottom line is the standard motto. Prevention is better than cure.
I am using a Covertec one, and it is fine since a while (more then 2 month).
Boxwave
I'm very happy with the Boxwave clear protector.
I wouldnt go without my brando screen protector ... been using them since my P900 had no problems with dirt or scratches ..
Brando
I use Brando as well. It's the best.
I use 3M, is't 3M the best?
I'm using the brando ultra clear but the application was fudged up; for some reason there was already dust on the screen protector despite it still being seal :shock:. I peeled it off, start applying when I realized that it was leaving marks on the screen.
Washed it then reapplied and in the process, I managed to drop my cutter on it , blade first, and there's a small scratch on one corner.
Definitely going to have to have another go. With respect to clarity and responsiveness, I find it to be unresponsive if the application was poor but otherwise, suits me fine and nobody could tell it was applied except due to the fact that there's a scratch on it. Anyone got any tips? I washed with cool water and no detergents. Should I use any detergents?
what kinda protectors u guys use, i mean thin or hard. I had a belkin thin screen protector on my jam and it worked perfectly for more than a year, then i sodl the device and got the O2 XDA mini s, now i am looking for some decent screen protector.
what do u guys recommend, hard or thin?
This is probably heresy, but I have had my phone for 6 months and have never used a protector and there isn't one scratch. I travel about 80% a year for work to boot. But it usually travels in my pocket as opposed to a bag or something.
cool
i was waiting to hear that...6 months in your pocket and no scratch? thats pretty good..because i keep mine in my pocket all the time..if i ever throw it in a bag..i use the case it came with.
I just got a Martin Shields and love it. Took a little getting used to having to press a little harder, but it's great and I can't even tell it's on there.
by the way, how do I uninstall the old screen protector?
It has many scratchs over it and even more dust particles under it...
I'm using the BoxWave ClearTouch screen protector. I love it. I can barely tell it's on. I highly recommend it. It was kind of a pain to get on properly, but what screen protector isn't.
Hi folks!
I just checked out ebay and other sources and discovered that a lot of new products for protecting your babies screen hit the market since Brando's Ultra Clear for my Kaiser
I found liquid products, silicone coatings, lotus effect stuff, several new brands, solutions for just the screen or the whole Touch Pro...
Are u using the shipped screen protector or anything else?
Brando, as with any other device.
i'm just using the screen protector that came with the phone...don't really see a reason to use another kind

When it wears out, get a Brando or Martin Fields. You will notice a difference.
Martin Fields
which one from brando should I take:
-original
-ultra clear
Exim screen protector... le deluxe! I've been using this brand forever. I don't feel like putting a $5 protector on a once $1050 but now $850 phone.
Take UltraClear, they're better for Touch Pro.
Wich one doesn't smudge as much as the regular one delivered with the device? Or is it just me having greasy fingers?
I have UltraClear and the smudges are all over the screen, I think I'll have to get used to it.
I only use Boxwave. They're the best.
According to this review, they're better than Brando.

I've got one on my Digital Rebel and Nintendo DS. Love them.

Hmm, a review dating back to 2003, is getting to be a bit old now, don't you think?
I've ordered a Brando one, I've yet to set it.
Not really. We're not dealing with statistics here. Have plastic and adhesive technology changed so much in 5 years?
I've read reviews on the Brando and I've personally used Boxwave.
I'm sure I could find other reviews with different search terms, but it would do little good since you already ordered.
Anyway, no intarweb review is going to tip your mind. Better to just order them and try them out.
I have not received my Touch Pro yet, but I bought a box wave....I've used all except for Brando and I can say for me Box Wave have performed the best so far.
I'm using the Brando Ultra clear.
+It's extremely easy to apply without air pockets underneath.
-It's very fragile and withing a week I have 2 scratches in the screen protector
The screen protector you get with the Touch Pro is a lot less fragile but very crappy when it comes to applying it.
just ordered a box wave so I will report back and let you guys know how I like it. I got the crystal not the anti glare.
Using Exim SPUC Screen Protector since a few days and like it, quality is good, there's even a part to protect the bottom buttons
Just got the antiglare from Brando and applied it. I don't know but it doesnt seem easy for me to apply it properly.
I'll rest now and if I can, share photo of how it looks tomorrow.
Just installed a Boxwave anti-glare protector. The jury is still out for me on the portion that covers the keypad below the screen as it does interfere somewhat with the smoothness of the d-pad and center butten, but I do like the screen protector itself. It is definitely not fingerprint proof like advertised, but I do notice a reduction in glare as well as, more importantly, a good increase in touch sensitivity over the stock unit that came with the device.
I also ordered a crystal version that I have not yet installed.
Anyone know where to buy one? I'd like one similiar to the one that came with it that covers up the entire screen area with a cut out for the speaker... and curved corners...
I bent a corner on the one that came with it and have some dust/etc that I can't seem to get rid of...
Martin Fields makes excellent screen protectors, though the one that came with it is pretty good quality. If yours is messed up though then I'd check them out. I had one on my Tilt for about a year and it still looks great.
Just look up touch pro on their site.
I'll second Martin Fields, or Boxwave. I had the boxwave on my 8525 for 1 year, then moved it to my 8925 for a year. It barely shows any Solitare scratches when turned off and viewing at an angle, you can't see the scratches at all when turned on! This was on the AntiGlare...
Martin fields does NOT have one for fuze but does for HTC Touch Pro, but interestingly the diagram shows no front-camera hole which should be great for fuze too. Has anyone used it for the fuze? does it come in 2 pieces and how good is it?
here is a ebay link to a great screen protector for the Fuze...I bought a 3 pack back in January and still have the 1st one on. Great quality....here is link:
http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Fabu-Stores_?_sid=17218646&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14&_pgn=3
Martin Field's Touch Pro screen protector is incredibly clear. It doesn't have a cut out hole for the front camera, which fits perfectly on my Fuze. They have also included a protector for the hard keys under the touch screen. As of right now, I can say that I am very satisfied. I would definitely recommend Martin Field.
I know it's a bit pricier, but I am a fan of the Invisible Shield: http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-fuze-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php.
Basically the last protector you will need, plus you can get one to be just over the screen, or a full cover for the full phone. They are custom made for the actual phone or device you have, and will protect it well, fit the device, and protect it. Also rarely get dirt or dust in it.

I love my Invisible shield on every part of my phone except for the screen. In my opinion the material of the shield is to sticky for the screen, and causes some problems with using the stylus and sometimes your finger doesn't slide very well across it.
Just my opinion!
Thanks
JFlitt
i will like to see some pictures of the phones with martin fields and boxwave screen protectors please
I'd like to know about the boxwave and the martin fields regarding how well your finger can slide. The invisible shield is horrible for this...Yes its indestructable but not finger friendly.
Screen protectors
I'm another fan of the Invisible Shield by Zagg. It resists cat claws on the screen (w/o a scratch), doesn't need replacing ever, and I haven't had any issues with the stylus or fingers through the invisible shield. I guess it just depends on your fingers!
Yeh im personally not a big fan of the invisible shield. Have used it on a iPhone as well as a HTC Touch Diamond and have found that it works well on a capacitive screen but when it came to the HTC Touch Diamond which uses a resistive touch screen, it didn't work well at all.
The invisible shield has a squishy like texture which makes it a little difficult when in use with a stylus. I've upgrade to a HTC Touch Pro and decided to go back to a normal screen protector. I purchased the Exilim SPOC Screen Protector from eBay and have never been happier. Like the invisible shield, it doesnt scratch... quick and easy to apply without having to use any liquids and drying time. Just my preference...
Zagg Invinsible shield?
Brando?
CP SCREEN PROTECTOR?
Other?
Which one is least visible and leaves no bubbles?
Expert Shield is by far the best i have come across.
shouldn't this be posted in Blackstone accessories ?
The best screen protector is BRANDO protector,
always buying this and definitely the best.
Durable, you can wash them and reuse, etc...

Hey ,
This one works realy fine for me . Not the easiest to put on.
But seems indistructible and washable.
And looks very cool on my Blackstone.

better think twice before using a mirrored screen protector! yes they do look cool, but the glare makes the hd impossible to use outside or in bright light conditions (much worse than normal), and occasionally frustrating in normal light. they also magnify fingerprints and smudges horribly. i'm constantly rubbing mine against my shirt to clean it
i bought a pack of two and gave one to my daughter and it didnt last the day before she pulled it off. i'm considering a brando non-mirrored in the next week or two.. i really dont like it. ifyour in a dimly lit office all day, it might work for you
Vikuiti DQC160 3M Screen Protector for HTC Touch HD, by far the best screen protector i have used. Not even one scratch after 2 months and very easy aplication.
http://www.amazon.de/Vikuiti-DQC-16...=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&qid=1233388812&sr=8-2
Brando is very very good
Martin Fields for me.

This might be a stupid question, but that screen protector isn't on the us version of amazon. Google will not translate the page either... Therefore, how does a non-dutch speaking person order one of these?
I really like 3m products.. Anyone?
I'm quite happy with EXIM screen protectors :
http://www.eximstyle.com/productpage/sp_SPUC.html
My vote goes to Brando crystal clear - very good, can't see it there, and touch is the same.

I have tried almost all the above mentioned screen protectors but Martin fields and i can say with pride that if you want your device to last for years looking same GO for INVISIBLE SHIELD. With brando, you have to change every few month otherwise the scratches start to appear on the protector
Yeah, but the Invisible Shield just looks so bleh. No way to get the film to fit flush along the border of the screen where it meets the body of the phone. The film just floats in that area, basically creating a void that appears as an air bubble along the whole perimeter of the screen.
They really weren't thinking when they made the cut for that film. No reason not to have made one dedicated piece for the screen, separate from the side of the phone body. If they took one second to have actually looked at the phone itself, they would have realized this.
It does help give a better grip/handle on the phone, due to the silicon material. However, it just looks ... eh. Certainly not invisible. At all. It does change the look of the phone. Looks much cheaper. But I guess scratches'll do that too.
That silicon material also changes the feel of interacting with the touch screen. It does have some give to it. So it feels like you get more compression as the stylus sinks into it. And your fingers/stylus will not glide as easily as you might expect for this type of input method. It's not a hindrance, per se, but it will be different.
Installed the front and the bottom piece. Stopped there. Didn't want that glossy rubber-like material covering the flat-black rubber-tone finish of the back cover and the brushed aluminum finish surrounding the lens.
Would really like a dedicated film for the screen that kept the same physical feel of the screen - more like a glassy/plastic film - and a separate one that protected all the glossy black lacquer finished pieces.
The Zagg Invisible Shield is rubbish. It tries to cover the screen and the chrome bits around the screen with the same piece, so it doesn't fit as well as it should

I guess you got the limited bling edition.
are there any anti-glare screen protector around, like the iphone one? Been searching around but couldn't find any, would be good if there are plans for it.
there are many, almost all manufactures have a clear and a non-reflecting version. I use Exim crystal clear protector and Im very, very happy!! I have it since the first days I bought my blackstone (I bought it on November, 21st) and it lasts until now, without any issue!! I'm using my phone full-time, about 6 hours a day, non-stop, so I think this is a really good protection! and it looks like it's not there so, decide yourself, the problem with non-reflective ones is, that you have not such a clear view, but it's only minimal. For me anyway, I need to have a very clear one, cause I'm most of the time inside buildings and I want for watching movies, have absolute clear screen^^ that's it

thanks... but when i clicked to add one to the basket, google stopped translating, so i was stuck. so i ordered a brando protector. the mirrored one was way cool and very impressive, but i drive a lot, and it made my hd unusable when the sun was out. so bad that i pulled it off and my hd is unprotected untill the brando arrives
What is the best screen protector for the X2....I just want to protect my screen and was looking for a protector that cuts down on the fingerprints and doesn't dull the screen. I was wondering if Clarivue, Boxwave, or Martin Fields was the best..
hightec durasec. its self healing and very durable. had one on my X2 about 4 months (also had one on my x1 for over a year. ) top quality screen protector.
http://www.durasec.com/catalog/sony...ge=en&osCsid=af7e4f243402cb9c2ee67f508ea876b2
you dont really notice it when its on there and as it says, its self healing to a certain degree. small scratches just disappear.
theyre on ebay too.
Lol I will see durasec!
I also use Brando Ultra Clear - one is good for few months....
I am currently using ScreenPetronus which is very good at protecting the screen ... doesn't use any glue, is sized to fit, doesn't interfere with the screen sensing my finger or the styles, and is perfictly clear on the screen. But, it doesn't help with the finger prints ... but they are on the protector, and not the screen ...
i just applied the "brando Protector Plus Ultra Clear", it doesn't fit perfect on my x2, i hat to cut 1mm at the top (where speaker and cam is located). before i used a "vicuti crystal clear" on a SE W705.
i'm impressed by the colors, the screen looks better than x2 before, it's more a mirror than x2 before, and you cannot see fingerprints as easily as before.
so all in all a quite good choice, but the cutting-action isn't okay in my eyes. next time i'll try some other screen protector.
