Screen protector for the X1 - XPERIA X1 General

Hi guys,
Just orderd the X1, and was looking for a good screen protector to go with it.
1. Is it neccessary?
2. What do you guys use? any tips?
At the moment i am using a TYTNII with a brando ultraclear. Looked at the brando website, they don't support the X1 yet

I got my screen protector from www.pdair.com
I called Brando and they don't seem to have a plan to support the Xperia X1 yet.

This was the only one I could find other than cheapo no-name ebay ones.

Haven't received it yet, and it isn't cheap, but I don't want to keep my xperia screen naked for long.

That's a shame Brando is by far the best Screen Protector I've ever seen and used. Are there perhaps other devices supported by Brando that have a screen with the same size as the Xperia, so you could use that Screen Protector? Or perhaps I'll buy a bigger one from Brando and cut off some parts..

I would have loved to get a brando, but had to buy a Vikuiti ARMR200 which is a brandmark of the excellent factory of 3M.
But just wait for my X1 to arrive. It is ordered and I hope to get it the next 2-3 days.

hehe same for me i bought also this because i know it from an friends Nintendo DS, but i also wait for my X1

Do not buy one from screenpatronus on ebay as they do not fit!
I am in the process of getting my money back from paypal. Does anyone actually have on a screen protector that fits?

Be aware: 3M Vikuiti ARMR200 may cause problems when you'll be using the phone outside, on the bright light. This foil with "double anti-reflex coating" is great at home or in a car, but the screen becomes hardly readable when the sun shines really brightly. I'm using it on SE M600i and would prefer less anti-reflex.

Get a refund thru payal! These frausters should not be making money of innocent people like us!!
It really infuriates me when people sell things like this!
DO NOT BUY FROM:
SCREENPATRONUS
FALCIXX
I will keep this list updated!

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a screen protector I can get in the UK? The one which came with my Xperia doesn't fit well.

I second staying away from ScreenPatronUS. I tried them once before and was really disappointed. The screen protector quality was subpar and didn't fit correctly as others mentioned. Plus it actually caused issues with the touch screen recognition of the stylus or finger!
Go with one of the reputable sellers listed in this thread/forum....may cost a little more but worth it in the long run. I've used Zagg most recently for my Tilt (full screen/body cover) and it worked great. Hoping they have an X1 cover out soon.

Well i mailed Sony Ericsson asking which screen protector they advice for THEIR phone.
I got a reply saying they don't have any information about the screen protectors as they don't make/sell any so it's up to me to search for the right one.
I expected some more information

Buyer beware: Vikuiti ARMR200 doesn't fit properly, I think they rushed to be the first to release a screen protector. It's about 1mm too wide and long, nothing that a little hobby knife and and steady hand can't fix, but annoying nonetheless.
I much prefer the look of pocketpctechs WriteShield CrystalClear, I'll definitely be replacing my Vikuiti when they release the WriteShield.

i have the Vikuiti ARMR200 and yes it was to big, so i sent schutzfolien24.de an mail that it doesnt fit, they are sorry and sent out an new one, i think also that they rush to fast , anyway i removed 1mm from two sides with an cutter, and now it works, next week will come the new one, i will report back then.

That's an outrageous price though. You can get these same cases on Ebay for $10/shipped in all colors. They're called the 2in1 case.

I just called them to confirm and they told me it does open properly with the case on. And paying 24.99 for a crystal case is rediculous.

I've seen those. What I'm more referring to is comparing it with and without the case. Same picture, two phones (or photoshopped together). Just to give a bit of scale to it

I just got mine the other day from eBay, and the front face doesn't fit all the way on or stay on. I'm going to have to return it and find another one.
I've finally tested this case for more than 10 minutes and I really hate the fact that the edges are not beveled in, making it extremely hard to use my fingers to press the softkeys on the screen, onscreen scrolling and some slight awkwardness when pressing the outside buttons.
Mine was also made of white plastic, so it has this ugly white lip around the edges.
After removing my BodyGuardz skin, the case fits snugly and is very hard to remove (I accidentally cracked the lower piece while removing)
Oh well, you get what you pay for. Time to read up on Seidio cases
http://www.wirelessaccessories.com/... 8925 - TyTN II - Kaiser&sfid=134039&c=164107
I've used these for my last 2 devices. I don't recommend the rubberized as they scrape up easy. While you get what you pay for ($5.95 + ship) so I buy several. I prefer the protection from scratches and ease of use . It does make getting to buttons a little harder, I agree.
I went on Ebay and got a clear one for around $4 shipped. looks decent, works, only thing about the clear ones is that dust tends to collect under them and phone looks dirtier. a quick clean and back to new. i dont recomend dropping the phone using the case, but in all honesty i dont recommend droping the phone all together.

Invisible Shield (or similar)

Has an invisible shield or similar been released for the Touch Pro as yet? I'm pretty sure the Touch Pro comes with a screen protector but a full body protector would be really good to have. this is a link to the Touch Diamond one in the mean time for anyone who doesn't know what one is...
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
Please also discuss any brands of screen protectors you've found that are good/cheap etc.
I am very interested in this as well. I dont know but will keep a look out and post here when it happens.
I guess it's possible to use the Diamond one because it's virtually the same except for the backend of the phone.
I Emailed them this is the reply...

Diamond v Touch Pro Screen Size
Hi all,
Just ordered Touch Pro from Expansys and waiting on delivery later this week. Would like to have a Martin Shields or Brando screen protector not full body cover. Can anyone confirm that the Diamond screen size is the same as Touch Pro since I can order a Diamond screen protector but not as yet one for Touch Pro.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully any answers.

ouch!! Yeah please someone respond with that info. that is a deal breaker with me as it is pretty counter productive to the purpose of a protector lol
I've used an InvisibleShield on a number of devices - on the few devices I've had to replace it, the screen/body were as new when I took the old shield off.

Well I use it on my TyTN, on my iPod, and changed it once, no trace what so ever !
the only marks you see with a full body are the parts not covered, because they are dirty/scratched
thanks Kael!! Seems the wear question is answered

OEM Fuze screen protector

anyone know where i can get another original screen protector that came in the box? i liked how u couldnt even tell it was on there, and how it was made of a hard, almost, thin glass, type of plastic. Unlike most of the other screen protectors that are thick and bendy.
any ideas? or anywhere that sells ones VERY VERY similar to the original?
thanks!
I've been thinking the same thing, hopefully one of the many guru's here will have an answer!
Me three! Surely someone sells the OEM one. Post, people! Tell us who!
I know the OP asked about the OEM screen protector, but i've been using these on all my portable devices and they are quite literally the best screen protectors i have ever used. When applied correctly there is zero distortion and the screen looks exactly as it is without the protector.
http://www.overlayplus.com/US/dis_product.asp?model=HTC_ProTouch&modeln=Touch%20Pro&prod_type=screen
Its a bit on the pricey side but last night my fuze slipped outta my hand, did a nice midair tumble and slid screen-down across the edge of my desk leg, it only got a slight scratch that i buffed out with plastic polish
I'll be happy to snap some pics if you guys are interested.
I will update that a friend of mine who also owns a Fuze called HTC to ask them if he could purchase another OEM screen protector and the customer service person he spoke with told him they do not sell them separately but that he should check daydeal.com if he wanted the OEM screen protector. So, he took that to mean the ones daydeal.com has for sale for the Fuze are the same ones HTC supplies with the phone.
I cannot confirm this as the one he ordered has not arrived yet but I will try to remember to post here when I hear from him on these.
What about InvisibleShield? Anyone using that one?
http://www.zagg.com/support/whatis.php
These have worked out well for me. The anti-glare ones work very well.
http://www.boxwave.com/products/easyfinder/buy-best-at_t-fuze-accessories_3350.htm
I had the invisibleshield one but found that it was too grippy and it wasn't as clear as i hoped it would be. I've got 2 pictures here, you can see the optical clarity in the 2nd picture by comparing the reflection of the cologne bottle in the screen with the actual bottle. The screen protector covers both the screen as well as the buttons.

I found that my invisible shield one has a bit of a orange peel finish on it which i didn't like too much. This one is actually smoother than the screen naked.

Update: He received the screen protectors he ordered from daydeal.com and by the looks of them, they are essentially the same as supplied with the Fuze from the factory. He and I both looked at it and it looks and feels the same. If you like the OEM one, I suggest ordering from daydeal.com if you need a replacement. And no, I'm not affiliated with them. Just passing along the info.

i second the boxwave one. its friggin clear and easy to put on
http://www.boxwave.com/products/cle...h-crystal-screen-protector-at_t-fuze_3350.htm
however, shipping is hella slow
but really nice product
i got the 3 pack and screwed up the first one but totally worth it
I ordered these from daydeal and would NOT state that they are 1:1 compared to the shipped one. HOWEVER, love it. It's a slightly different material (kinda anti glare but the "blur" is fully acceptable for me) and I had some concerns reg. finger friendliness but that's not the case. Stylus operation is easy (by far not so rubbery as the invisible shield). Form, fit and applying was very easy (much easier than the stock one). I bet Martin Shield is the best but I still think money well spent. On top, not so prone to fingerprints as the shipped protector.
good or better than OEM protector
I concur that this screen protector from DayDeal is as good as or better than (in my opinion) the original OEM protector that came with my Fuze.

I ordered only one last week, but I may order a few more just to have them on the ready.

New TPU Case out!

Hi everyone,
I was just about to buy a leather folio on ebay for my tablet when I decided to do a quick search for a TPU case just to be safe. And ONE hit came up. Looks like the seller 'tpdgear' is selling a tpu case on their page. The seller states it has limited quanities and is seeing how the product sells before having more made. I bought one myself and will give my opinion of it early next week when I receive it. I have been looking for one of these cases forever and now its finally here!! From the pictures, it looks like they have 'tpdgear' emblazoned on the back of the case (dunno if thats a turn-off for a lot of people).
Sorry, but the forum doesn't allow me to post outside links on the forum since I'm a new user. You can do a search for 'Acer A500 tpu' and it will give you a hit for user/seller 'tpdgear'
For those who don't know what TPU is, its an abbreviation for thermoplastic polyurethanes, the material the case is made of. Its more rigid in structure than your typical silicone, but softer and more flexible than the plastic hard cases. I have owned multiple cases made of these for my cell phones and i LOOOVE them. Just wanted to let you guys know for those that looking for them. I dread having to get one those bulky leather folios and have been using a netbook sleeve/case myself.
this one?

Yes, thanks godashram for posting it!!
You beat me to it. Just discovered it today, was going to post but saw this thread. Bought mine a few mins ago. I will post when i get it. Anyone else order one?
sure now they get one out there. literally just got my skinit skin in and put it on yesterday. Will tell you though, everyone thinks this skinit textured carbon fiber is real. It is the best fake carbon fiber i have seen yet

LOL..... I was going to do the same thing but will try the TPU cover first. Does the skin come with all that cut outs for the speakers a such? I assume so.
Hey, I've been looking for one of these for a while...good find! If possible, post some pics and let us know how well it fits and all. I'd like to know if it works before I pull the trigger and buy one. Thanks!
I got it! Came in today! Here are some pics:
The side where i am pulling back the case is softer than i like but it is protecting it very well. The cutt out for the lock right below is the one that isnt cut out very well but does not cover it. I will get more pics up when i get back.

Looks great! I've wanted one since I got my tablet. I just ordered mine today so I'll comment on the quality when I get it.
Yeah I was gonna wait until I got your review before ordering, but instant gratification won out. Mine is on the way. Glad it does truly look decent, so I didn't just waste 18 bucks. Thanks for the pics!
Just got mine about an hour ago. Other than the giant "TPDGEAR" across the back, I love it. I've been looking for something like this since the A500 came out.
Just got mine today! It fits well, and is a lot firmer than the usual silicone covers. My only complaint is the softness of the sides, top and bottom edges. I solved this with a few strategically placed bits of doubled sided scotch tape along the edges. Now when I pick it up by the edge, it doesn't pull away from the tablet. Overall a good little cover though.
just received mine yesterday. case fits like a glove and eliminates a lot of bulk compared to other sleeves, portfolios and cases. cut-outs for ports & speakers line up true and allow cables to be inserted with causing it to be loose. material is sturdy (its tpu) and came in a smoky color. like karlkarloff said, some people may find the edges to be a little too soft, but i personally didn't have a problem. there is 'TPDGear' etched in the back in big letters so that would be my only complaint. big thanks to razen_spec for posting pics!
So I've had mine for a week now and I really like it... I like the textured feel and the TPU material is very sturdy and has a tight fit. The only small issue I have is the logo. I would have rather had a cutout for the metallic Acer insignia.
I just bought one today. I can't wait to be rid of the HORRIBLE Acer case.
There's another one on ebay now. Same price, no annoying logo in the back!
Just bought it, I'll report back in 5-10 business days.

Damn, I like my TPD Gear case, but the one you found looks a little nicer. Looks like it wraps around the front of the screen a bit more so the siders won't flex out like they did(two sided tape took care of that) on my TPD one. And its black with no logo, I might have to get it and see if I can sell my other one.
How is the screen covered for travel?
Thanks for posting this case. I just the Iconia for the hubs' b-day this week, and haven't decided on a case yet. We just got a zipper neoprene case%for it (cannot beat five bucks!)

Zagg invisibleshield for s3 horrible

I got flamed for asking about a screen protector. Just wanted to warn everyone not to waste your money. They should call this a orange peel shield. I never felt so cheated in many life. And yes I installed it correctly.

I stopped using the Zagg screen protectors a while ago the quality seemed to be getting worse. On my S3 I installed a Skinomi screen protector and it came out perfectly.

Zagg is garbage imo. Skinomi is nice and SGP too.

Zagg is horrible. They all feel like they were dragged through sand before shipping out.
yeah, this was my first time using zagg, i needed something right away and that was the only one i could find in store yesterday.
I had a Zagg on my Captivate. And I know what you mean about the orange peel effect. It made using Swype really interesting. But honestly after like 2 weeks the skin totally smoothed out. The same one is still on that Captivate and my daughter is using it 23 months later and it still looks good. I probably won't ever buy one again but to be fair they do have a long break-in period.
I have Skinomi, came out perfect.
Zagg actually advertises the orange peel as a feature, not the drawback it actually it. "Gives more grip!" ugh

Think its suppose to be their anti glare feature...either way I avoid Zaggs whenever possible.
Yeah haven't used zagg since my iPhone 3GS days. One day I left my phone on top of my car and the material prevented it from sliding off after being on the road for around 5 miles (never went over 50 though). The same material made it way to labored to use the touch screen though....
The Skinomi screen protector is really cheap on Amazon right now:
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechS...=1340480601&sr=1-1&keywords=galaxy+s3+skinomi
It says normally it's $11.95. Right now it's $0.99
I'm using the Moshi iVisor AG. This one you can peel off and wash when it gets dirty. So far, so good. Feels pretty good as well.
I'm not a Moshi fan. It ruins the screen clarity.

Eh, it seems good enough.
I just need something that will last- i go through the cheap disposable ones like candy, and they dont have the older Invisibleshields big enough for the S3.

They do make the HD and zagg dry for the S3

Meh. The older Zaggs were better, and i've still got 2 that can fit a 4.3, maybe a 4.5. I'll probably use them if i ever decide to get a smaller phone- the S3 is a tad bit too large for my tastes.
Try these.

Somebody in the One X forum was raving about them so I ordered them. I put them on today and they really are incredible. I would challenge anyone to detect a screen protector was on my phone. I've used Zagg's and these are thinner, not draggy to the touch, and have no orange peel. They are wet apply and were pretty easy to get on correctly. And the One X is a ***** because of all the angular cuts it has on the sides. It also comes with protection for the camera lens. Mine's curing but I'll post pics of it on a grey phone for you pebble blue people when it's set.
Here's a pic from the One X post...

I have an OLD best skins ever skin on my Ipod, probably been there since 2006 or 2007. Still on, still works great, but I hate the feel of it. I'm a big fan of the bare glass.

I'm guessing the tech may have changed a little over 5-6 years.
