oil resistant screen covers? - Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories

Hi all,
I realize there are a lot of threads about cases and screen covers but what im looking for is a discussion on custom fit screen covers that do not show smudges as badly from oily skinned hands.
Right now im using the screen protecter that came in the box with my touch pro (sprint). it fits great and does the job better than most but my skin is somewhat oily so every time i touch the screen i create really annoying smudges everywhere. has anyone had any luck with a screen cover that handles oil and smudging a tad more... gracefully?
Thanks

do you use a screenprotector?

Do you use a screenprotector on your trinity? I do, one from Brando, but I don't like it and am thinking about removing it...
Is anyones screen already damaged?
Is it possible to put it perfectly at all ?! I mean I must be in a totaly sterile envoirement with gloves and special suit and God knows how and what skill I must have to put it right
My Trinity is one day old but I will surely remove it in a couple of days, can't look at it with this ugly bubbles beneath
The first thing I do when I get any new device is get a screen protector for it, and it goes on before I ever start using the device. I've gone through a lot of PDA's over time and one thing I can say is that you get better at putting on the protectors and you get used to the odd bubble or piece of dust underneath. It's far better than what happens to your screen without a screen protector over time.
The best way to put the protector on is to carefully peel just a bit of one edge and line it up at the top of the screen. Then use the included card to slide the rest down the screen, the paper backing will peel off as you do this and it helps to prevent bubbles and dust getting on the stick side of the film.
If you don't like bubbles, try a brand that is not adhesive. Most people don't like the type that slips under the case but I do. I've been using NuShield protectors for a couple of years on 4 different PDAs and they are great IMO. I don't use a case (store in pocket) and NuShields are very durable - easily lasting 6 mo.
I'm using a brando ultraclear for K-Jam in my p3600... it works perfect... I haven't any sort of bubbles because i put it the first day i got my new device.. so device under it was very clean and the result is PERFECT

Completely agree!
I'm using Covertec Screenprotector(for S100), and it works like hell!
The screenprotector is about 1-1,5 mm thick, so it's pretty thick compared to many other brands, but the advantage is that it's almost impossible to get airbubbles, and the screenprotector is 110% clear! So you won't even see it's there!
Comes in a pack with two protectors, one with UV-filter, and one which is ultra-clear...
Can highly recomend them... No need for a "anti-bubble-wiper-thingy"
1.5mm thick?!?!?! That's thicker than a "anti-bubble-wiper-thingy". I have wetsuites that thick. You talking about a case or a screen protector?
LOL
No offense - just having fun. Some are actually quite thick in comparison.
Hehe! Well, ok; maybe it's a bit thinner... But it's about the thickness of a playing card, and just as stiff as one too...
And no, it's not a casing, or a wetsuit... Maybe a drysuit haha!
I use protector, but got 2 bubbles which I want to try to remove.
Can anyone tell me how to remove the protector without using anything thin and sharp?
Asbjørn
Tape. Take a 1-2 inch long piece of tape and press one end on a corner of the protector. Then pull
I can't get my screenprotector removed...not even with tape
Hate screen protectors. Don't use them. My nephew has a Jam which is years old and hasn't had a protector. NO screen scratches -- only a little dullness where the SIP keyboard is but that buffs out in seconds once a year using Displex. No scratches from keys even though it's subject to some abuse and the casing is scratched and dented. Thus I myself have no crap on my P3600's screen.
Im not a fan of cases or screen protectors, but I got 1 for my p3600. Its pretty good, I just wish it was about 2mm wider, since the left edge doesnt quite go till the very end of the screen which is annoying.
I got my screen protector from 'Javoedge.com' , it cost me about £8.50 but it is worth every penny.
It is cut to the exact size of the Trinity screen and fits really well. It is so thin that it slides beneath the White plastic case of my Trinity and the screen itself, so there are no edges of the screen protector to be seen.
I agree that you must take your time when installing it to try and get the edges straight, but when it's on it fits and looks great.
I opted for the super clear version and not the anti-glare version.
Great product!
Invisible shield from ShieldZone.com
I'm using an "Invisible Shield" from ShieldZone.com for my P3600. At the time I got mine, it didn't exist any pre-cut version for the P3600, so I ended up with a pre-cut TyTN shield, since they have the same screen size.
The first 2-3 days the result wasn't that good as I had some bubbles under the shield, but they disappeared after some days.
Watch the demo videos on ShieldZone.com, and I guess you will be as impressed as I'm with this shield.

Hi people.
I am soon gonna be a happy owner of a Trinity and i will definately buy a screen protector for my device. Can you please give me your opinion on different brands you have tried?What brand would you recommend buying?
Thanks
I have a Brando one that they now market as a P3600 version.
It sticks to the screen with static so no glue or residue if you remove it. Also this means it is washable too. The static provides more than enough force to keep it on the screen. In fact it is stuck fast. Only by pulling a piece of tape stuck to it by both ends will remove it.
My only problem is more with screenprotectors in general. Since they add extra thickness to the screen they do affect the sensitivity of the touchscreen. So for a while you will write with the stylus and you wont be using enough force. You get used to it, but it would still be nicer to find a thinner membrane.
Mine is a Clear Touch Crystal from Boxwave. I've used Boxwave's products for years and found them to have very high durability and quality. The screen looks like it has nothing on it at all when the device is on. I find that it actually seems to improve touchscreen accuracy and feel.
The only problem I have had with screen protectors in general is that if they are cut too close to the borders of the screen, that is, if they fit too well, they seem to interfere with the screen's ability to detect taps. I think it is interfering with the digitizer. Every time I have installed a protector PERFECTLY leaving no gaps on any side, the screen stops responding until I remove the protector and reinstall it with the edges trimmed in about 1 mm on all sides. I don't think that you need to have all edges trimmed, but I do it for uniformity's sake.
Hope this helps someone who gets a protector and then thinks they broke their device by installing it like I did my first time.......ahhh to be young again.....
@olsenbjo
Does the Invisible Sheild cover the entire device, or just the screen?
Thanks!

Screen protector

Hi!
How is the screen protector that comes with the product working?
Websites like invisibleSHIELD.com sell full body shielding. Any idea when this will be made for the new Touch HD?
It's pretty cr4p [very awkward and fiddly - the fit is to the last nano-metre, so, try as I might I could not get mine to be entirely 'bubble free' at the bottom of one edge]- I'm waiting for a 'Martin Fields' one to be released - then I'll get one of those and a replacement for my Diamond whilst I'm at it
I threw mine in the bin, it really hinders you sliding your fingers/thumb ..
love my invisible for diamond, it does make screen and other parts kinda rubber which makes using finger little harder, but it does get better in about month.
if you apply it carefully there wont be bubbles and if there are small spots with air or something most will leave in few days.
no scratches on my diamond and love it!
Also it's better to do it in a clean atomsphere.
I apply screen protectors in the bathroom after a shower and opening the window as I read somewhere a few years back that the steam reduces the number of dust particles in the air - creating bubbles..

The screen protector which came with the HD is very good. i see no need to switch to another one. Only if you dont want an ultry clear model, as it reflects the light more (but looks nicer on the other hand)
the screen protector fits abolutely perfect, and feels very good. no bubbles or anything. after installing it, the HD felt like the galss display of the Iphone
ps: yeah if you have no area at home wihout dust go in your baathroom and turn on hot water. the steam/water in the air binds with the dust particels and coms down. but wait until it goes away, otherwise the steam will also settle down on your device or screenprotector

how to fix scratch on touch screen?

Hi,
Recently, unfortunately I got a pretty bad scratch in the middle of my screen, and not only is it ugly and annoying, though it ruins the usability of the interface. Is there a way to buff it out or otherwise fix it?
Thanks
i doubt so... in this instance, really prevention is better than cure...
Try a screen protector,
it have some sort of silicon surface which sticks to your screen, this might fill the gap of the scratch so it will not be much visible.
on My old SE P910, i had the same situation. solved it using a good quality screen protector.
good luck, and always use screen protectors

Come oon, go repair it

If the scratch is really that bad and a protector will not suffice, why not go out and buy new cover including screen? Of course use protector on new screen!!
Do a search in Blackstone accessories
I had a scratch tooon the screen. Not too bad but noticable. The sticky-stuff on the screenprotector filled it right up! No more scratch (well, the screenprotector is now full of scratches ).

Might I ask what brand of screen protector is that?
I have a pretty good scratch on mine as well. Scratch resistant glass my butt. I hear there is a layer of teflon or something on top of the glass is it possible to peel that away??? Guess I will try a new screen protector or a new screen if need be! grrrrr.
Edit: Sorry meant to post this in TMOUS HD2 board!
Ya, it's a problem, the HD and diamond 1 have the most insensitive screens I've ever used, using a screen protector makes it worse, plus they look pretty ugly if you can't get rid of all the bubbles/start peeling and getting dirt under them.
I'm resigned to the fact of replacing the cover/screen eventually, it's a lot more enjoyable to use without screen protectors, mine has a few scratches in it, but it still looks and responds better than with a protector
Go to Radioshake, ask for scratch remover (viscous liquid), fill the scratch with th eliquid then use a good quality LCD protector.
I still have the original htc touch hd screen protector on my device. I'm sattisfied with it but film begins moving away from the screen in one corner. My question is : can I use the film once again after cleaning it with a alcohol or something else? Sorry for my english
Toothpaste
I highly recommend you to apply some toothpaste on screen ..it will be worth it ..make sure it won't go inside your device ..coat it for 2 minutes then gently remove it by paper towel or u can use tissue paper etc..and VOILAAAAA ..do it twice if there are some left ..

NEVER use alcohol or any alcohol-based product to clean plastic. It will dissolve the plastic film and make it useless. Worse still, if it gets behind the plastic film, it will attach the LCD screen, and you will get a permanent mark on the LCD

Screen Protector

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.

Coating wearing off

my nexus 7's screen coating wore off on the right hand thumb spot (which is always used obviously)
it got to a point that i no longer want to use it, whenever i slide in that spot it feels rough like sliding my hands on a window instead of being smooth in other places.
is this a common problem or am i an exception?
i bought a screen protector, but it's matte so now reading text on a white background is really a pain, any ideas on what i could do to fix this?
it sounds like you need to replace that screen protector, just buy and apply a new one (glossy), as matte looks bad on low density displays. a pic might help too on the forums
good luck
