If you mean what I think , that's no screen protector , but just a transport protection sheet so that your diamond doesn't get scratched during transport ...
Mine did not include any screen protector anyway

A screen protector IS included in the box (look carefully)
best thing to do is apply it right away.
Use scotch tape on the sides so you can hold it without smearing the bottom. Peel and apply carefully.
Its actually a great screen protector. Normally I hate those things.

Anyone else got any tips on how to apply the screen protector properly. I normally don’t use a case or screen protector. As my view is that I will only have the phone for about a year. I it gets scratched big deal, I’ll have a better phone next year!

Hold the plastic that the protector is sticked to.
Curve the plastic so the protector gets loose and gently apply it to the diamond from top to bottom.
Mine is almost impossible to spot (I missed by 0,3mm on the bottom..)

Go to bathroom, close the door, prepare a longggg and waaaaarm bath and then, when you won't see anything because too much steam, apply your protection (so that, dust won't come between screen and screen protection).
To apply the screen protection, you can use a credit card.
After that hard job, you deserve to rest.. so, take a long bath (as it's already prepared and your wife don't have your credit card )

Thanks, didn´t think of that.

Good tips here but i must be doing something wrong as the one that came in the box with orange wont seem to stick to the screen. Do you have to peal off the back off the back of the protector for it to stick as mine not sticking

i use 3M clear tape (not sure what you call that in English, it's the kind of tape you stick paper on the wall or to each other, kind of small version of packing tape, but not as sticky)
by take few 3-4" long stick on surface of screen protector, left and right side or top and bottom side where you can hold each side by left & right hand.
Then use that 3M tape as a handler of the screen protector. This way, you don't need to even touch the screen protector on either side and can carefully lay screen protector on the PDA screen.
just make sure you use the easy to remove tape, not the really sticky packing tape.
arh_3000: yes you need to peal it off from the other layer of clear plastic.

<rant>HD2 t-mobile brand screen protector.

Just for info, there's two in the box. it covers ONLY the screen that has the LCD. DOesn't cover whole face.
Never had issues sticking on these static type protectors but this one gave me hell. ruined both. the protector is slightly tacky. And will attact dust(like any like this) so make sure you're in a clean room. But both of my protectors wouldn't stick on the edges of the protector. and every time I tried to peel it up and putting it back down, it still didn't hold. Then dust got under it. augh. Ruined both. I wonder if they would take them back since both wouldn't stick on teh edges? Aww... they will probably say I'm returning it because I got dust under it.
i know how you feel! i bought them when i got my hd2 and i got the top two-thirds of the protector on perfect but then the bottom third somehow got dust underneath, it really not that bad when the screen is on but its still annoying. cant wait to get my invisibleshield on it tho!
order this, the maximum protection from zagg....
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
I used invisishield on my ipod. Great stuff, but hard to get on perfect. 3 parts for a curved back and front only covers the LCD part? The front part sounds so unlike them. They normally have it going round buttons and everything.
But it's like putting tint on. You need to have a liquid to make slide just right.
i used invisible shield on my iphone, and it was fully protected. It did add grip to the device which i liked. Anyways, the maximum protection shield covered more than the normal full-body shield. It'll cover not only the LCD screen but all spaces around the hardware buttons and well as the speaker.

I also got these same screen protectors and was dissapointed when it did not cover the entire screen.
Trick to putting on screen protectors.
1.) Make sure the screen is completely clean of all smudges etc.
2.) Use a can of air duster to remove any small dust particles that might be stuck on the phone. If you don't have that then just take a piece of tape and remove any dust particles or dirt from the screen. This is the most important part!
3.) Line up the screen protector on the screen where you want to place it.
4.) Peel back the backing of the screen protector as you lay the screen on the device. Start from the top of the device and work your way down. If need be take out a credit card or another hard piece of plastic of some sort to push out any air bubbles that may occur as you lay down the screen protector.'
5.) Enjoy a job well done.
It's interesting to note that all the previous posts are (I assume) from US members.
You get a screen protector with the phone and we here in the UK don't.
I have heard mention that when some EU units have been returned for screen problems they have been repaired with what has appeared to be a plastic version of the screen.
My phone is now coming on three months old, never had a protector, never used a case and the screen is immaculate.
Can anyone say if theirs "feels" like plastic?

My TMOUS HDC HD2 is definitely glass.
I didn't bother to use a screen protector (didn't even know there was one supplied)...it isn't necessary on a glass screen.
Its very hard to scratch glass...you would need a very sharp object, made out of a very hard material (harder than glass), applied with a lot of pressure. I've had my iPhone for 3 years, and the glass is flawless on it. The aluminum housing is scratched, dented, and dinged up, and the LCD panel has a little bit of bruising on the top left corner BEHIND the glass...but the glass itself is immaculate.
Apple actually pulled the screen protectors off the shelves from the Apple store because they felt they were unnecessary..and frankly anyone who pays for one on the HD2 or iPhone wasted their money.
You'll actually see more imperfections on the screen by applying a screen protector...they have a tendency to attract dust, bubble up, and flat out get dirty. The only maintenance you need to do on a glass screen is polish out smudges and finger prints.
The biggest peril to glass touch screens is cracks from falls....and if your HD2 suffers a big enough impact, a screen protector or 'invisible shield' won't do squat to keep it from cracking
glass or plastic..either way.. i was soooooooooooo confident i wouldnt scratch mine, until about a minute ago when i was in the process of wiping the glass(plastic) screen before putting on a screen protector, i noticed a little scratch...great. Should've put on a protector sooner...
From now on, I willl be putting on a screen protector unless the screen are made out of crystal sapphire or something..

We actually do not get an included screen protector. Only the black gel case, which imo is quite crappy... loose and flimsy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6117793#post6117793 Check out oy instillation of the Invisible shield if you are considering buying one. I bought the Maximum Protection and it covers almost everything besides for around the buttons on the bottom, volume rocker, camera, Micro USB/ 3.5 Headphone jack, and the finger nail grove on battery cover. I also would like to note that my TMOUS HD2 did not include any screen protectors in the box.
Sorry imo I have to disagree with you about the included gel being loose mine fits quite snugly and until my zagg comes in I prefer to keep it in the gel...not as slick & keeps the screen(when face down) off the flat surface.
A tipp for all you guys getting dust under the screen:
I always apply a new screen protector in my bathroom after showering - the steam in the air (the more steam, the better) binds most of the dust particles and makes it A LOT easier to get a perfect result!

I agree, I used to do this back in the day before Zagg came around. It works great.
I have read with other products people use a drop or water/soap water before applying a screen protector. Has anyone used this method on this device? i am concerned that the water will somehow ruin the device. I know it's only a drop or 2 but wanted to get some feedback first before i tried it.

Will the screen protector bubbles go away, see pic?

Hey guys, I installed the skinomi skin a couple minutes ago. I think the screen might not have been wet enough when I applied it. Will these go away on their own? Do I need to throw it away? Can I remove it and try again? See the full sized picture below.
http://i.imgur.com/pqibd.jpg
they do usually permeate through the glass and plastic protector itself, but it will take a few days to completely go away
I'm worried that only the small ones will go away. Will the larger ones disappear too?
only time will tell bro, Patience is a virtue. Give it a week or so.

how long has that protector been on there? and which protector is it?
those bubbles seem a tad large and i'm not feeling too confident about them going away. normal "raindbow reflecting shiny" bubbles are normal if you applied using a soap solution... but those seem too abundant to have resulted from that type of application. did you use a credit card to push them out?
if it hasnt been on that long, take it off and retry.
I've put on these crappy "invisible-shield" wet apply screen protectors before and never had that many bubbles. You should redo it and try to get it a bit better.

Actually you shouldn't "wet" the screen, just wet the skin (or dip the whole skin in the solution and let the excess water drips out before applying it)
However, if you're certain that the bubbles weren't caused by dust under the skin, then they should disappear within a week.
My wife got me a non glass screen protector. The guy who installed it gave it to her for free because there were about 50 bubbles on the screen. I powered off and powered on, and each bubble had a rainbow swirl which indicates that the bubbles have liquid underneath them.
I left it on the dash in the hot sun for an hour, and I hit it with a hair dryer for about a minute a few times. Didn't need to do that.
The bubbles are disappearing and I only have 2 left. As long as it's not air or dirt,water bubbles are fairly normal and if you leave the phone be for a day or 3, the bubbles will dry up and disappear on their own.
I think that many people who buy non glass screen protectors expect the screen protector to be 100 percent bubble free. If you have bubbles that look rainbow on a white background screen, leave them alone and they'll dry up.
I don't know why or how trapped moisture dries, but it does. Air bubbles must be popped and debris bubbkes are obvious.
My new screen protector looked a lot like the OP with smaller bubbles but now, AFTER HAVING LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 5 OR 6 HOURS, I only have 2 bubbles that are shrinking. If you have a bunch of small bubbles, pull up Google. White background page. If all the bubbles have rainbow swirls, that's moisture AND THEY WILL GO AWAY ON THEIR OWN.
I'm only capping those parts because that seems to be the correct answer regarding bubbles. Rainbow means liquid. Liquid goes away on its own, especially if left in the sun on the dash for a bit.
Air pockets are clear. Very carefully pop them with a small needle or pin.
Debris is visible. That requires some removing and cleaning. Or a new protector altogether but you can buy 3 on amazon for 7 bucks.
Rainbow swirls- just let it dry by leaving it alone. It's a lot like window tint and vinyl car wraps. Small moisture bubbles are common and go away on their own.
Before people go tearing off screen covers and trying to reapply their bent out and fingerprinted soft screen protectors, try leaving the pen head sized and smaller bubbles alone and they'll go away AS LONG AS IT'S A MOISTURE BUBBLE.
I'll be perfectly honest- tempered glass screen protectors on the s7 edge are very finicky and unresponsive especially if you have a tight fitting case.
I much prefer a few moisture bubbles that will go away than I prefer an extra layer of glass that is very unresponsive and on any edge phone, tempered glass makes it hard to get feeds and pulling down the notification bar is as bad as setting up a fingerprint. Non responsive. Soft screen protectors might scuff and scratch, but they work and you don't lose response like you will with a tempered glass screen protector. But on these new phones that are wrapped in glass, I'd suggest a case to go with the protector. I've seen people drop their phones with no cases with screen protectors, and the screen is fine- the back of the phone is shattered.
I hope this helps anyone who may have had questions about screen protectors. Tempered glass is better on flat screen phones bit you lose response if you don't have a glove touch option for the screen.

Screen protector scratched by... included applicator card and microfiber cloth?

So I picked up a screen protector on Amazon by ArmorSuit... it seemed to have solid reviews and I heard reports of great customer service, so I spent the 20 bones to pick one up. I just now applied it, and it went on well without a hitch. Since it was a wet protector and majority of my screen protector experience was with dry ones, I watched the YouTube video and also thoroughly read the instructions. Last thing I wanted to do was install a wet protector incorrectly and mess up my device.
Once done I checked out the finish. Despite the fact it's been 20 minutes and not 12-24 hours like they say to let it sit, I noticed lots of tiny scratches on it, which definitely looked like it was from the applicator card. What baffles me more is I have a microfiber cloth that came with the kit that I was wiping the screen off with... I noticed even swirly scratches after I was done, yet this microfiber cloth has nothing in it whatsoever!
Er, uh. Has anybody ran into anything like this with screen protector application?
Despite this, I'm still relatively happy with the screen protector as it fits perfectly and was very quick and easy to install. That being said, I'm still a little disappointed in what I'm seeing here, but I'd still trade hairline scratches that aren't that visibleat all (and not visible whatsoever with the screen lit up) versus air bubbles and dust pockets which clearly are visible regardless... which is almost always the case with dry protectors... Don't get me wrong, it's not like it's a series of key-gouging lines here, but when video installation guide shows the tilted tablet glaring off of the ceiling light to show it is 100% smooth and flush with a perfect glass-like surface, that's where I can see these very fine marks.
Maybe, just maybe, this is some sort of epic self-healing screen protector that'll remove those blemishes over the next day as it sits. :laugh: Yes, just maybe.
EDIT, er... uh... under the bulleted list of features I found these two items that I may have overlooked when I first purchased it:
Self-healing technology , Military grade material engineered for your specific device
ArmorSuit Lifetime Replacement Warranty *Made in the USA*
lol????
My ArmorSuit came with a nice horizontal scratch in it and these visible shallow 'gouges'. I'm guessing from the installation card. I'm getting rid of it as it just doesn't look clean. Looks like a thin slab of rubber and not perfectly flat like the glass. YMMV though as I know I didn't install it Grade A, but still, I can't imagine that this screen protector can look or feel like glass.
Part of me like the feel of these wet protectors, but it does feel unnatural and sort of tiring to use. I opted for the 3-pack of CrazyOnDigital (clear) protectors. I figure I will mess up 1, get 1 right, and keep 1 for next year.
For installing via wet method (sounds dirty no? lol) you have to get almost everything but the device "wet". That includes your fingers and the screen protector (both sides) itself and also the squeegee or card or whatever you call it...
I have seen what is called 'burn' marks if not properly wet. Sucks I know! But The wet products in my experience are always great when finally dry. I have the XO skin and it's about totally dry. Looks great IMO.
"burn marks" sounds about right

I'm not sure how much more wet you can get a screen protector when it's already dripping, which was the status of it when I placed it on the screen. Likewise, I did wash my hands just prior and also had my hands both completely saturated in the provided fluid.
Burn marks sounds like some food for thought, but I'm unsure how you can get a burn mark from a microfiber cloth when I'm wiping the screen off in a circular motion. I mean, I didn't attach it to a circular sander or anything...
So in the event this magical self healing thing doesn't live up, what other screen protector would you guys recommend? I definitely want to go with a wet application, as I'm already able to tell a world of difference, but I'm a little dissatisfied with how incredibly sensitive this protector is to scratches. It's great you can take a dremel to it and it still protects the actual tablet screen but when a microfiber cloth scratches it I can't say it impresses me.
EDIT - Just got an email response from them minutes ago. The bulk of the message is pasted below:
Regarding the marks on your screen protector:
Any filmy marks, air bubbles, swirl marks or haze underneath the screen protector is due to the solution, which can take up to 2 weeks to go away. It typically doesn't take this long, but it will eventually go away because the material is designed to be breathable. This will release any trapped solution.
Regarding the scratches on your screen, here is a quick and easy fix.
1. Please turn off your device.
2. With your screen protector still on your device, spray 1 pump on the screen protector and then spread the solution evenly with the included microfiber cloth.
3. The scratches should then disappear soon, within a few days at the very most because the material is self-healing.

I guess I'll have to be a little more patient and see what happens.
Not sure why they don't just put this in the instructions, but here's a trick:
When you're pushing the bubbles out, put the piece of plastic that you peeled the protector off of over the screen. Don't ever use the squeegee directly on the screen.

I thought the same thing, but once I realized that the microfiber cloth was giving swirl marks, that whole premise behind that idea kind of crumbled. If a microfiber cloth will legitimently give this screen protector swirl scratches from wiping it clean, then that's pretty fail.
That being said, I'm remaining quite optimistic about this "self healing" thing. Maybe I will see them slowly disappear? Who knows. It is a little more comforting knowing they have a lifetime guarantee, but we'll tackle that conversation when/if it ever becomes necessary. At any rate, I keep reminding myself - at least the screen protector still looks 1000% better than any dry screen protector AND it's protecting the screen in the process. :good:

I ordered the exact same 3-pack and I have to say they're great. Got it perfect on the first try and it looks crystal clear. It looks a lot better than those $10-$20 dollar protectors out there.

Skinomi Full Coverage Body Skin

Hi Everyone, first post here on these forums. I've been trying to find some more info on Skinomi's full body coverage for the HTC One M8 but so far nothing has come up.
I've got a few questions about it specifically with this phone before I buy one (if anyone here is using one).
If so, how has it held up since you've installed it? Any peeling etc?
I mainly purchased this for the speaker grill protection to use with skinomi's glass screen protector and I'm wondering if there are any alignment issues?
On the same note, I'm assuming the screen + glass screen protector will be higher than the speaker grills (even with the skin installed)?
Can anyone provide some insight?
Thanks!
I bought one of these because I planned on going naked. I received the first revision which was just one whole screen protector but I asked them if they can send me the 3 part front protector because I was only going to use the grill protector since I have a tempered glass. The glass protector is definitely more raised than the grills even with the protector. Phone didn't feel that much slippery in the hands anymore but I still felt like needed to use a case for work. I bought the SGM Tough Rugged case from amazon and it fits pretty good even with the back/sides protector but the bottom grill protector would peel every time I put the case on, but it would stick back when I took it off. Eventually I took it off because it was annoying. It probably peeled because I didn't align it as good as I wanted. I also have a Spigen clear capsule case but the materials didn't really play well together and it was a bit hard putting the case on and sometimes the bottom ports would not align properly with the case.
Anyway, if you're going to go naked I would recommend this since it'll protect the phone from scratches and such but if you plan to use a case it might or might not go well together. I decided to peel the back and sides as well in the end. I really wanted to go naked since the device looks sexy but I've always been a case kind of guy and the phone also didn't feel that comfortable in the hands as it does with some cases.

Thanks for the response! Got a few more questions.
Did you have any problems getting the grill protectors and the glass screen protector lined up right?
How long did you use it before it started peeling?
I've read things about the HTC logo on the back of the phone peeling off on it's own, so I'm worried that if I decide to remove the back piece and go with a case that it will strip off the logo as well. Did you have and problems with this?

No problem. The glass protector didn't get in the way with the grill protectors since the glass only covers the screen area and not the grills. The only times the bottom grill protector started peeling was because of the rugged case's lip would lift up the protector and it would peel a bit every time I put the case on. I still believe it was due to me not aligning the bottom grill correctly because the top grill never peeled. And everything else never peeled. Haven't had a problem with the HTC logo. When I peeled the back it was pretty hard to pull it off since it really sticks to the phone.
Also the installation wasn't really easy. It's a wet installation and probably took me like 30 minutes or more. It was mostly because the sides wouldn't stick and the back protector kept moving around. I had to use a blow dryer so the sides could finally stick, maybe I used to much solution but yeah I hated the installation.

As far as the installation goes, do you have any tips for doing the top and bottom grill protectors? I just got mine today and I'm afraid of getting any solution into the grill holes.
I was thinking of doing the top grill protector, then lining up the glass protector and finally lining up the bottom grill protector that way. I hope there are no spaces in between any of the pieces.

Just don't wet the protector that much and you should be good. And yeah you can start by top grill, then glass, then bottom grill. I believe you're supposed to not use your device for a few hours after installation. Good luck!

Dust under screen ?

I forgot to carefully survey my brand new screen before putting on protector on it, which has as always has 2 or 3 dust particles under it. I'm worried that since I didn't look at the screen very carefully before putting the protector on, that it's actually under the screen glass and not the protector but if I lift it up to check it will ruin the application. Do these super amoled screens have issues with dust getting between the glass and screen during manufacture or is this not a problem ?
Possibly? If it's a crappy screen protector, who cares. 99.9% chance it's under the protector, so get it out. If it's a glass one, it's possible to lift it up on the edge and slide a dust removal sticker or piece of tape under and get the dust out... I did it on my G3 but I kept losing grip of the corner under my fingernail so there is a slight part of the corner that no longer sticks perfectly.

To prevent this, instead of using your fingernail which causes a slight bend in the plastic, use a piece of tape stuck to the corner to slowly lift the corner edge without bending. I use to always bend corners before switching to this method.

Well mine is glass and cost $30 which is why I didn't want to replace it. If it's a cheap plastic one, just replace it and do it right.

Sumsung fuses the Glass and Digitizer, so it is highly unlikely that the dust is actually under the screen.
it is dust free
