I've never saw a diamond before, I'm wondering if the lcd screen is same as on Kaiser/Tytn II and any other windows mobile based phone, when you point a stylus to it, it dimples a little on the surface; or.. is it made of entirely glass material like iphone, and when you point a stylus on it, it won't dimple?
No dimples here. The screen doesn't give in at all like it did on my Tytn. I've read that the screen is tempered glass. I don't want to pull my protector off to verify that, but it definitely behaves like glass.

Thanks, exactly what I needed to know!
After you see the screen on the jewel, all other screens are crap.
So yes this one is awsome no flaws on this department!
The phone may be tempered glass but as it uses resistive technology there is another layer on top of the glass, so it will dimple when you touch it, mine does.
Point the Diamond under a light then tap it with the stylus while the screen is off and you will see it dimple slightly.

Yes, I can see the screen give in a little this way, so you're probably right. It's still not nearly as much as other touchscreens I've had ... on the Tytn it's a sharper "dimple", whereas on the Diamond it's not very noticable to me. I don't feel like I'm poking a hole in the screen.

There came a screen protector with my Touch Dual, which works very well, i do not see any difference in using the protector or using the device without it. So anybody out there, who knows, where to get this specific protector?
Thanks in advance.
we
PS It is adhesive, which i like more than sticking it to the screen and never being able to remove it again
the one that came with mine is ok but I messed up by having some dust underneath so I've ordered a new one from here: http://www.martinfields.co.uk/dis_product.asp?model=HTC_DualTouch&modeln=Touch Dual&prod_type=screen
I've always used Martin Fields screen protectors, IMHO they're the best! plus they're ultra clear once you put them properly you can't tell

Screnn Protector Washable?
Hi..
Do you know if original screnn protector is Whashable?
Thanks
The orig. protector rocks.
I bought some from ebay and already dropped them into garbage.
Now i ordered one from martinfields and i hope this one works better for me ...
Any other experience?
i got 3 really cheap ones off ebay which are fantastic.
they're in 3 sections, you take one side off to reveal the sticky side then put it on the screen then pull the other side off to reveal the front face of the cover.
really good.

I don't know whether it's the best or not, but I had the same problem that you do.
I bought the protector from martinfields based on the recommendations in this thread, and must say that I like it better than the original one.
It is thinner, so it seems like you need less pressure to make the screen react when you press it.
I've only had it for a day, so I really can't say how durable it is...

Are the Martin Fields and Invisible Shields self adhesive?
I don't have to glue them on do I hehe
The one that came with mine I put it on properly but then I panicked slightly and thought "How do I get it back off!" so peeled one side up just to see if it would come off, then of course got all dust and crap under the edge so it looks skanky now thus want a new one.
I only managed to do that because it was slightly misaligned and a bit overlapped at the side of the screen though not enough to notice unless you looked very closely. So how do you get them off if they are put on perfectly? I know you could use a knife but you could scratch the screen and that defeats the purpose

Don't know about Martin Fields.
Go to link in above post to see Invisible Shield. If I remember correctly, they tell you how to do things on their site. I don't have one for the niki so can't tell you for sure, but have one on my ipod and it took awhile to get on, but well worth it.
Also, their customer support is very very good.

Use scotch tape. Just stick it on the face of the screen protector and lift. Simple as that.
Btw, I've recently swapped out my screen protector because I somehow got a scratch on it. Anyway, the sales recommended one that was matte finished (as oppose to glossy like most screen protectors). I have to say, it is so much better than the traditional glossy ones. The great part is the texture. It is so much smoother than regular ones. Great for sliding your finger across using Touchflo.
However, it does diminish your off-axis visual quality. But i suppose that doesn't really matter since you don't look at your screen off-axis much anyway. It may even be a plus since you might not want the person next to you to see what you're looking at...

That's a good idea! I never thought of that, I did see something on a website about using something sticky to remove it but I was thinking of blutak or something like that and thinking that it wouldn't work very well!
A bit of grit got on my screen and I scratched the protector with my stylus the other day, another reason to get a new one, but also a good reason for leaving the current one on!
Where do you get the matte ones from?

I'm in Hong Kong so I just picked it up from one of many independently owned techy shops. I didn't pay attention to what brand it was (i basically just paid the guy and he opened it up and stuck it on for me). The next time i head back there, i'll take note of the brand.
Invisible Shield
Just installed the I.S. (bought on ebay) on my Niki...
It's been a pain in the neck to install...
It's really hard to prevent small bubbles on the surfaces...
Maybe on a white ipod has a better look but on the Niki black finish you'll see them..they're really really small but sometimes in a large number: the overall effect is as a dirty and scratched Niki...
Bigger ones could rise passing from the front/back to the lateral sides, in particular near the big 4 rounds.
The hole for the hands-free speaker was totally missing!
When in hand you can feel the sharp edges corresponding to its thickness ...
The original protector is a little bit "softer"
But...
I can have it in my pocket with no additional thickness...
Right now I was using the silicon case, but it seemed that I was calling with a tv remote control...
I was just gonna buy an Invisible Shield *Thinks*
Thanks for the info ohyeahar I was thinking of going for the Invisible Shield but now might just go for a screen protector and some sort of leather case-age. Dunno
Is the Topaz screen plastic like the Diamond or tempered glass something LG Arena has got?
Really hope its glass, feels better than a Diamond
Plastic I think
Not concrete but I'm %99 sure of this.
It is a plastic membrane on top of glass.
Take out your stylus....
Hold the phone so you are looking flat across the screen.....
Now slowly tap and you will see the screen flex....
If you tap or press hard enough you will hear/feel the glass.....
No matter how hard (don't press too hard though) you will not come in contact with the LCD ever.....
The Efin had a plastic digitizer and it pooped out on me and I recently replaced before I bought my TD2.
That plastic membrane I beleive is what makes it so sensitive.
Might be irrelevant, but the original Diamond had a quartz glass screen, HTC made a fuss about it. But i'm not sure about the TD2.
Plastic, definitely.
I scratched mine just two days before receiving the InvisibleShield screen protector I ordered...
HTC Touch Freak is right. Many devices have a glass-screen.. But with a plastic layer over it.
The technology used on our devices is called resistive touch, that's why we have a vulnerable plastic layer on top (unfortunately)
When u look on your screen from a low angle(and with a bright light..), you see many small dots, distance pieces; they are constituent parts of this technology.
(They are needed to separate the glass layer from the plastic layer/ 4-wire-technology (I don't know how it's called in english^^))

The protector film on the keypad on my phone has been going bad. It's opening from one of the corners.
Can I buy new protector for the keypad somewhere on the web?
Keypad protector?
Do you mean screen protector? The Diamond doesn't have a keypad? Screen protectors are readily available from a host of suppliers on the net. Try Google
Keypad/hardkeys, whatever =) There are indeed 4 buttons and that circulat one as well... The protector of that "keypad" is worn and going bad and looses itself.

Same problem
I have the same problem with my diamond, it started to go off in one corner. Before it got to bad I took a sharp knife and cut if off. It hasn't gotten any worse after that.

I have used this screen protector from Boxwave.. try this one http://www.boxwave.com/products/cleartouchcrystal/cleartouch-crystal-screen-protector-htc-touch-diamond_3180.htm
I had that problem too, I just removed the whole protector and bought a zagg one.
You get a digitizer at a cheaper rate instead of a screen protector.
Never used a screen protector.

http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi®-Tech...&qid=1434859739&sr=8-2&keywords=s6+edge+glass *(click on the tech glass in the options)*
I am very happy to see Glass protectors finally for our Edge but disappointed that they are colored now instead of fully clear.....Wouldnt that make the capacitive buttons look recessed or sunken in now? I just don't like the idea, kind of like adding depth to the buttons...
Skinomi Tech Glass
thanks for the post I was on that page just a couple of days ago and that option wasn't there yet. Seems interesting as most full edge covered tempered glass screen protectors are black and that one seems to actually be blue like the phone is. Also about the clear/coloured the reason is the adhesive used would show at the top and bottom so I personally don't mind it being coloured as long as it matches the original colour. It seems it's the only way to achieve full coverage and not lose
the glow from the capacitive buttons by adding the cut out as it is 0.33mm glass. I think it'll still make the phone look amazing and definitely want to give it the best yet still slim protection and this seems like it'll be for now so I decided to order it even though it won't ship until around July 17th.
would it fully cover the phone screen?
I have one. I dont mind it but it doesnt cover the full front of phone. Doesnt interfere with viewing really but the only thing i don't like is the cut for the top spots is off slightly
looks like a gen 2 protector
i don't have any experience with this particularly product but let me tell you this is not a GLASS protector but a FILM protector like INVISIBLE SHIELD or BODYGUARDZ, so take that in mind before buying

How is the touch sensitivity? Especially around the edges?
Good! Thanks!
I got mine yeterday and sensitivity sucks on the left side. I'm off by tiny bit hen installing it and that could be the reason but who knows. I did post a picture in the Skinomi review thread in here if you want to take a look. Not sure if I have gen 2 or 3 but it does look great. Too bad for my left side sensitivity issue. Slightly getting better so there is some hope. Guess I'll give it a few more days.
EDIT: after re-aligning the glass, I don't have sensitivity issues on the left hand side anymore.

Skinomi Tech Glass screen protector for the Samsung Galaxy S6 is perfect. It does not cause any touch nor tactile sensitivity at all though I knew some did experienced touch sensitivity especially on the sides. what works is aligning the shield to the center.. really it works great as those expensive brands.. worth a try!
oh great

I just applied my Ringke Dual Easy Wing Screen Protector. It was quite nifty the way they designed everything for a pretty much dustless install.
My question for anyone else that has used this screen protector on this phone or any phone, does the horizontal line in the film from where the two backing pieces were split, Step#2 And Step #3, ever work its way out?
It's not real noticeable only from certain angles.

Covers both the left and right side of the phone and even goes over the rounded edge on the back

I just got it installed and I see the horizontal (ever so slight) indention in the orange peel surface of the screen protector. Mine doesn't have any air under that line so even at the right angle, I can't get a picture of it. It's completely invisible when the screen is on and you can't even see it with the screen off unless you angle the phone perfectly to catch a glance of it. If you wouldn't have started this thread, I would have never noticed it and I'm very picky. Lol
That said, this screen protector is much nicer then previous PET film type protectors I've used. Very smooth and doesn't have that rubbery feel to it in the least bit. I don't see s-pen intentions after using it either. Huge plus! The install method made a dust/particle free install a breeze.. Probably the best $9 screen protector we're ever going to see again.

I just had a chance to fire up my phone and everything and yeah you can't see that line at all when the screen's on.. I think the last time I had a note was like the note 4 and I had a zagg film screen protector on it. And I know that thing had major orange peel and was soft and you could indent it with your finger or the s pen. This screen protector is nothing nothing like that
The install was great. They could have made the numbers on the tabs a darker color. When I first read the instructions and it was telling me the numbers I didn't see them

Fingerprints are definitely an issue with this screen protector. The install turned out so flawlessly that I can look past that.
There's no horizontal line.
Fingerprints wipe off easily and I feel like there's less than on just the plain glass. This is my favourite screen protector because I can swipe type easily with no sticky feeling and the spen glides right over it.
Will this work with the Otto Defender pro case?

Yeah, I spoke too soon in my previous reply. It definitely does, but not as bad as I've had with previous PET type screen protectors.
S-Pen does leave marks, but they fade. Not completely, but they fade quite a bit.
This is easily my favorite screen protector, and I've tried the cheap ones all the way up to Whitestone Dome on my Note 10+. I really liked the Whitestone Dome, but it just affected the fingerprint scanner too much. Plus they raise the price with each new phone.
So now my Note 10+ and my Note 20 Ultra both have the Ringke Dual Easy Wing screen protectors on them.
If you check the Amazon reviews for it, the first one is mine. Pics were taken right after installation.
I'm extremely impressed with this screen protector. I thought it was going to be rubbery and leave tons of marks on the screen when using the S-Pen, but it feels almost like the glass below it and leaves very little marks that go away quickly. To answer the OP's question from being a vinyl graphics installer over the last 20 years, you want to be VERY careful when dealing with folds and application material that go over the screen, and I'll explain what I mean by that. When you are removing the dust layers 2 and 3, you want to be careful NOT to run the squeegee OVER the one that is remaining on the screen, depending on which one you pulled off first.
Adhesive likes to lay down and connect to the screen in a horizontal way, so if you have a raised application material - the dust layer - still on the screen and you squeegee over that raised edge, you are stretching the glue that is designed to go straight down now around the edge, and when the second layer is removed, the adhesive is now bent over itself and creates a line from the adhesive doubled up. When this happens, you can't fix it with cure time or running the squeegee over it enough times, the adhesive is stuck to itself and can't be fixed.
TL ; DR - don't run the squeegee over the application material when installing because it will permanently ruin the adhesive and can't be repaired.
Seeing mixed opinions regarding the s-pen with this screen protector... Not sure if I should buy it.
For example this review made me doubt buying it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-...=cm_cr_othr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B08CZJL67L
