What do you guys use / recommend for screen protectors and cleaners?
I use the protectors from ShieldZone. Nothing comes close.
I bought mine through a deal I found on Slickdeals (it's about to expire!)

i too would be interested in what you use, i.e. just the screen protector or the front and side protectors.
If you have used the front and side protectors could you describe what the coverage is like?
and i have heard that that brand makes it hard to use the stylis, have you had that experience as well?
hmm might have to post pictures of this one...
ordered today 2/2/08 with 50% off via slickdeals. I got them for my mogul and my Panasonic Toughbook cf-19. [bad ass they had one for it.] Cant wait to see if this product stands up to it's advertised quality.

Are those shield zone one's like clearview? are they hard to the touch like screen material itself? i dont like the ones that are soft and sort of compress when you hit with the stylus

so did you get just the screen protectors or the front and side covers as well? I would love to see close ups of the front and side protector. cant seem to find any info or pics of them anywhere.
i got just the screen protector... it is nice, but tricky to get on at first. i don't really notice it when using the stylus. in some light i see a orange peal like affect. since it took me about three tries to get it in position and all the air bubles out there it isn't perfectly clean on the unexposed side. but it works.
Just order it at brando. To my opinion the best there are. Ultra clear is the one I like the most.

Search for exim spuc or exim spoc on ebay. They're hard screen protectors that are residue free, and almost scratch-proof, stylus and pocket-wise thinking. (I don't think its as scratch proof as the invisible shield protectors, but isn't soft like a cushioning effect as with invisible shield) They also block out UV rays, making it easier on the eyes in direct sunlight. I've been using it ever since the first of my phone days (Sony Ericsson S700i, Nokia E60i, Nokia E61i, AT&T Tilt, HTC Tytn II, 2x Moguls)
One tip is to put it on in a dust free room...if dust gets on the application side of the protector, use some scotch tape to remove it. Works wonders.

How is the anti-glare in the sun? I am curious as I am looking for a new one.
Debating the clear vs anti-glare as I use my phone a good bit outside...
Any updates on any other screen protectors?
JavoScreen claims to be quite effective.
Here's a recent video shootout of leading screen protectors.
I don't recall which brand of antiglare screen I use; it was one of the most expensive ones, and comes with a camel's hair brush. In any event, it does the job EXCEPT in bright sunlight, when it's helpless. I'm thinking that a slip-on polarizer would be welcomed for bright sun.
best ive used
i think this is the same one i last bought, and its the best yet.

i have tried many, and this one is the best.
no bubbles, perfect fit, and dosnt screw up the screen when removed. i attached a scan of the packaging mine came in below
tought id chime in..
i have had the oem crappy flimsy one for a while now..
was going to buy 3 from ebay for $7 free shipping..
kept on forgetting to go and buy them.. so I walked into verizon... no sprint stores on my walk through philly.... and bought the blackberry universal kit... $10.66 with tax... tell you what.. they are nice and thick....
you can hold it at the corner and it will not bend!!!!
also has a grid for you to cut...
went on super easy.. 0 bubbles... none... and im loving it...

So I had my original Att screen protector on my tilt for over 3 months..then this week I went to the tmobile store and bought screen protectors cuz mine was old and wear and tear set in. Come to find out when I get home and unbox it...its the kind that's not alrdy fitted for the phone screen and you have to cut it out and size it yourself..theirs a reason why like 15 screen pro's come in the box...I nearly went through the whole box trying to use scissors and cutting and itting the stupid things myself...I shoulda went to ATT cuz I think their screen pro's come fitted for touchscreens. Anyway after finally fitting it to my tilts screen..I got another problem, Air f#*king bubbles!....anybody have this issue and figured out how to put on screen pro's without stupid air bubbles?
use a card (credit card, atm, license) and smooth it out little by little when applying
works perfectly for me
The screen protector that came with my Tilt isn't EXACTLY the same size of the screen. I managed to put it on as soon as I had it in my hand (still in-store before paying the guy). The bottom of the screen looks perfect, but at the top of the screen there is a gap of uncovered screen about the 1/16th of an inch. Doesn't bother me though...
The best thing you can do to avoid air bubbles is to buy a quality, reusable screen protector. I bought mine 9 months ago from DayDeal.com, and it still works great. Since it not that super thin plastic, it goes on without any air bubbles. Well worth the $15.
I have ordered the Invisible Shield from http://www.zagg.com/
Haven't got it yet, so I can't share any personal experience, but this was highly recommended on a norwegian PDA forum.
Wow, my screen protector is on it's 10th month and it looks as good as the day I put it on. And it's a $5 cheapy one from Pocket Solutions.
I have been using the JavoScreen Ultra Clear screen protectors for a few years no, and have been very happy. They are completely removable, washable, replaceable without leaving residue; and they do not trap bubbles. Once applied, you literally cannot tell that it's there! They are a few more dollars than some other similar brands, but they are IMHO the best.
I've just given up on them. The glass feels better without one.
squeeze the big ones out by just pushing them off to the side with your fingers. the smaller ones should go away after a few days use.
on a side note, my screen protector that came with the phone SHIFTED somehow, and i cant move it back (well i dont want to peel it off and restick it). odd.

You guys will probably think I'm nuts, but I swear by WriteShield product from PocketPCtechs. Expensive, but worth it. The plastic they use is superior, it's absolutely crystal clear, and it's cut perfectly to fit.
I've experimented with other cheaper products that didn't last or didn't fit right. I've tried the cut-them-yourself products (boxwave) and they didn't work out right for me either. I went right back to the WriteShield and no worries.
At one time, I thought to myself that spending so much on screen protectors was nuts, and what they charge for shipping added insult to injury, but then I put it into perspective. What's it worth to protect a $600 machine? What's it worth to not have to be without the machine while I have my screen serviced and what would the combined cost of the hardware labor and inconvenience be?
I've used them on every PDA I've owned and I'll never look back. I have yet to find a better product out there.

Hi,
Someone can say me if WriteShield Screen Protector fit exactly the screen size of the Kaiser without leaving some screen surface unprotected ? Or which one fit exactly the screen's size ?
Thanks in advance

Plus, don't use a card to squeeze out the large bubbles -- I did this once and ended up with scratch marks. Just use your fingers, and the small ones should vanish with time.
Hi guys,
I have some minor scratches on my screen (2 to be exact ), but I was wondering, when I buy a new front cover, does that also include some kind of plastic window? Or are HTC's touched by the LCD itself and do you need a new screen when you have sratches?
Please enlighten me
Aren't you using a screen protector?? If you are you just need to change the screen protector itself.
If you've scratched the touchscreen itself (as, out of the box it has no protection on it) then I'm afraid it will be a replacement touch screen (fairly cheap)... but you shouldn't replace the whole LCD unit (hideously expensive)!
I bought a secondhand kaiser with protector from the factory on it. But it was old so I decided to take it off and order a new good one. But then i discovered two (minor) scratches. I'm doubting, the new touchscreen is almost cheaper than a good screenprotector, but opening the screen means opening the whole entire phone .

Well, screenprotectors can be very cheap (and reasonable). - just depends what you're looking for. In my experience it's always been cheaper to buy a good quality screen protector for a different device and guilotine it down to size. Here in the UK, locally, I can get a pack of 5 good quality matt screen protectors (which are better than the shiny ones when you're out on a motorbike in bright sunlight!) for about £5.99 but as they're designed for a digital camera I need to trim about an inch of each one lengthways.
If you do need to replace the touchscreen you will need to open the phone... Can't really help on that one as I've only been playing with the Kaiser for about 12 weeks and have not (unusually for me) cracked it open.
I suspect it will be just as rugged as my original Hermes though!
Whatever you decide - good luck!
Maybe I just put my Whine modus to off and ignore the two scratches that arent visible, only in direct sunlight at a certain angle . I can feel them though with the stylus, but I hope that will be over with a new screenprotector.

If you go for a good screen protector "Martin Fields is the best out now as per my knowledge" you should not be having any issues at all..
As capacitive screens have been in the market for quite a long time
I use the screen protector with the Mozart, il est tres bien pour proteger l'ecran htc Mozart
I recieved mine yesterday. ordered one from brando.
it fits nearly perfect. top/bottom i have total less than 1mm uncovered, left/right less than 0.5mm each side.
at first it felt a little like it would be "stopping" movements, but its way better now and i only notice the protector if i get a close look on bottom edge.

Yes , i use the screen protector for HTC Mozart and to be frank there are no problems using it ... its much better to use a screen protector
anyone not using a screen protector? is it really gorilla glass and scratch resistant?
there is no need for a protector
accidentally dropped my mozart the other day. quite lucky i got a screen protector on it as it now has a big long scratch on it. i wonder if the gorilla glass would take the heat though. dont really wanna take the risk lol.
that said. anyone from malaysia who knows where to get some decent casings?
when one of the htc heads came to our country to advertise their phones, he was laughing that a lot of us are using screen protectors. he said their phones are using gorilla glass and there is no need for screen protectors. i want to try it though but i am scared to not use a screen protector.
Ny mozart must consist of hot butter... Scratces easily... Would like to punch the HTC representative om his nose... Gorilla glass ny ass:-(

I managed to get a nice one for MYR30.00 unbranded casing from one of the shops at Carre Foure Subang Jaya. However, it was the only one. You may try there.
Is anyone using the Martin Fields screen protector?
I am considering getting one although want some feedback from a fellow Mozart user who has one. Perhaps a picture of it applied to the phone as well?
my screen protector is starting to get bubbles and i cant see any screen protectors here anymore, i am VERY tempted to start using it without any screen protector, but i am afraid what might happen. haha!
Do use them
new here but thought i just write a quick note on saying DO USE SCREEN PROTECTORS.
I brought 2 Mozart for ebay. (one worked one was dead) so i thought i see how easy it was to scratch the screen with keys or money and just in the pocket.
so i placed the dead one in a pocket without a screen protector and some money and went to work (im a electrical installers so i lift alot of washing machine ect) after about a hour of normal lifting and walking i had a scratched the screen only a small one but it was noticable.
So i then put the keys in my pocket and within about 15mins i had a 1 inch scratch along the screen.
So i then tryed without anything and still managed to scratch the screen i think that was when i pulled it out the pocket i might have caught it on a metal stud that are on my jeans pocket.
on my working one i have a otterbox case and screen protector and carry it everyday with money and keys and its still in a perfect condition.
now im sure you will say that because its not normal for carring washing machine ect with money and keys but why take the risk there screen protector are pennys maybe a few quid and i still managed to scratch the screen with nothing in my pocket.
Just my thoughts on the subject
So which screen protector do you have sleepymonk?
And orubourus? Which screen protector do you have? I'd like to avoid yours if it started to form bubbles. :-/
Thanks
Im using the screen protector which came with my otterbox commuter case. the case itself was a bit expensive £23 but i think it worth the money to keep the phone protected
i used momax. nice and clear screen protectors.
Hi,
Can anyone help? I've been trying to find out if the glass used on the HD7 is Gorilla Glass (or an equivalent). A student of mine showed me how to drag a screwdriver up and down a Desire HD screen with no affect whatsoever, so I'm hoping the HD7 is built of the same stuff. I'm also rubbish at putting screen protectors on
Cheers...
YT
From what I was told at Mobile media, It is a gorilla screen/equivalent.
Why don't you try the same with the screwdriver and let know how did that work out for you?
LOL.... Why do you care dude. Personally, I use a full transparent sleeve for my device which is not silicon or hard plastic, but fixable. This cover, does not allow the screen to touch the surface when the phone is put screen down. So I have removed the screen protector.
So, if you have something like that, I guess you are fine without the screen protector. I usually put my phone in my pockets which have my car keys or coins and my cig lighter and stuff. They never scratched the screen.

No HTC device use gorilla glass, an equivalent, maybe, but not the actual trademarked GG.

The best screen protectors I know of are from Zagg and Bodyguardz. They are both Military Grade. From experience I would choose Bodyguard. Zaggs are easy to find in stores though. Use both a screen protector and hard case, it goes hand in hand.
I never used a screen protector on my HD2 and it is completely scratch-free. I don't have one on my HD7 either and again, no scratches.
Having said that, I have a golden rule of never putting my phone in a pocket together with anything hard (oo-er!). My keys always go in a different pocket.
Glass is generally quite hard to scratch though.
It'd be really cool if they made phone screens out of a slice of man-made white sapphire like they use on Rolex watches. That stuff is the second hardest transparent substance known to man, second only to diamond. Mind you, that might put the price up a bit, my Submariner was over three grand....
I had my HD7 since it came out, no screen protector, no pouch, no scratches at all.
Well, my asnwer is a little late, but...
Corning lists the HD7 (along with many other HTC phones) as a Gorilla Glass devices.
I can't post the link since I'm a new user.
But check out corninggorillaglass[dot]com/featured-products
Although, my HD7 already has scratches. It had them after about a week. Just from having it in my pocket.
Really..
I was trying to find that information out also, funny that Corning lists our HD7s as having Gorilla Glass because I have micro scratches on mine also. Hmm....
My HD2, which they list also is smashed to pieces from a drop of about 2 1/2 feet on the ground. Either the glass isn't as tough as they say or somewhere they're dropping the ball on certain phones (USA maybe?).
Cyph
HTC phones were never listed has having GG before until recently. Leads me to believe that the ones use by HTC are not the same because I seriously doubt some of the earlier phones have em. It looks like they pretty much just put their whole entire lineup on there.

My HD7 picked up a tiny scratch after 3 days use. The screen scratches, period.
Buy a screen protector and forget all about what make of glass it is, its glass which needs protection.
Im considering getting a HD7 (To replace my Motorola MileStone) & the screen is my biggest concern
Can the HD7 take a hit or survive a fall ? without the screen being shattered into pieces ?
I knew some who dropped his HD2 & the screen got shattered & it costs (eql. 300 USD) to fix it in Saudi Arabia , which more than the price of a new HD2 these days
I can't have a sensitive phone like that ,especially coming from Motorola MileStone (now thats one tough phone , you won't believe what my MileStone survived)
I really like the HD7 (& the Windows Phone 7 platform) , but if thats means I've to replace the screen every time the phone falls from me , I think I'll better off with a Motorola Atrix running Launcher 7
Thanks for your help

The screen is glass, yes it will shatter! Best suggestion is buy a good case.
little random...but i suggest an anti glare, matte screen protector to everyone! pretty awesome....and its drastically eliminated finger prints, hated having to wipe the screen all the time.
I have dropped my HD7 3 times so far, but I have an aluminum case from pdair. Has totally been worth the case. Otterbox also has a commuter case. I think with the right case they're ok.
Sent from my HTC HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I personally think the build quality of the HD2 is better than HD7. Since the HD2 is a completely candybar, doesn't like the HD7 on the top and bottom part. I dropped my HD2 several times, put to the same pockets but there was no damage that can be seen clearly outside. But that story doesn't happen with my HD7. One drop to hard surface, on the pockets as daily use = one noticeable scratch,one small dot crack inside the screen + damages outside.
Make me want to have another phone right now, but there is no point to buy a Windows Phone right now since the Mango come with Skype and front camera, maybe a better CPU...
