Martin Fields - Cases & Screen Protectors

http://www.martinfields.com/US/model.asp?model=SE_XperiaX1&modeln=Xperia X1&prod_type=mobile
I want to order a screen protector and I was thinking about a leather slip case. Anyone have any experience with their cases?

What I read and heard
From what I have read and heard is that the MartinField screenprotectors are one of the best out there. No hands on experience though.

I have used these on all my recent phones, they are very good but expensive £15 delivered

did u guys also removed the default screen protector ? i felt it was reducing the touch response of the screen..and very thick also.

well, the stock protector lasted me one day of use... putting the x1 on my pocket a few times peeled the sony protector so it's useless...
anyways, martin one should be here tomorrow (so says the track id)

Hi,
The "stock" screen protector lasted me a week. But you do need to cut/trim the tab off so that pocketing the phone and other general usage doesn't peel the protector off.
Have now fitted a Martin Field one.
Be warned though the sticky side of those protectors attract dust/lint/etc like a magnet!!! Also, that lint free cloth you think is lint free, isn't!!!
Have fitted 3 of these over the years and have never failed to get some lint etc between the screen and protector...
But they do do the job and protect your screen. Better £15 for one than £!!!! for a new LCD...
Des. . .

I've got a Martin Fields screen protector and I love it.
<rant>
I wasted £5 on a protector from eximstyle on ebay first.
It was too long by a couple of mm and just too wide so that it would press down on the screen when it was squeezed in; the quality wasn't great either, it didn't slide like the MF did. (They sent a replacement which was exactly the same )
Sometimes you really do get what you pay for! Got to love Paypal, it went a claim and they judged that if I sent it back with tracking I could have a refund (the postage would cost more than the refund).
I know where I'll be getting my screen protectors from in future, and it's not from jokers on ebay!

Sony Ericsson Xperia leather case
Leather cases on MartinFields are the same I bought from PDA Hut.

Just fitted one, perfect fit. Got a damn tiny piece of lint between it and the screen !! No biggies.
So far, so good
The stylus slides real smoothly

Static or Adhesive

Hi guys, i search for this subject, but i didnt found a answer on my question..
I have bought an HD2 2 weeks ago, and now i'm searching for an screenprotector. All my friends (no HD2's) have static protectors (so, no glue usages).. They say Static adherence is better, because it leaves no glue when you remove the protector (and adhesive protectors do?).
For the HD2 instead I can find only adhesive protectors, or protectors where iam not sure how they adhere to the phone..
For instance, the 'screen only' version of invisible shield, is that a adhesive or static protector?
Martin Fields notes that their protector is removable, but still with "A mild adhesive"
Also it is not clear if the basic protector of HTC is using Adhesive
I found one protector for HD2, that is using Static adherence: ScreenGuardz (screenguardz.com). Problem is that I dont find anybody who bought this allready..
In short i have 2 questions:
1. Is it true that when you remove a protector with adhesive adherence, there will stay some glue on your phone?
2. Adhere the "screen only" protector of invisible shield adhesive or static? And if this one is adhesive, do you know an other static protector?
Thanks in advance, Proces

I got a Martin Fields one, the best I have ever seen. 90% clear in ads but I have to say nearly 95% or 99% clear. Smooth sliding like original glass. I dont have a good hand but it's really easy to install with no crazy bubbles. I removed it once for washing, no feel of glue at all.
I used to buy cheap screen protector but this time I went for Martin Fields. I didnt want my lovely HD2 to be damaged. No regret at all. It's just worth it.

Is Martin Fields Scratch-proof like the one from zagg.com That's a lot better then that you've to replace your screen protector every month(s).

I havent used zagg invisible shield so I cant answer u. But from what I read so far, zagg is not really so invisible and Martin Fields's protector is not better at anti-scratch than zagg's one.
However, some guys said after a long time using zagg, there's some odd brown spot in his shield for HD2, look like mudd or sth else. And zagg is not as smooth as Martin Fields. That lead me to my decision.

The ones I use is Exim, used it on my last few devices and it is perfect. Can't tell a screen protector is being used both visually or by touch.

The Exim protector seems to be nice! No glue, and (according to the ads) perfect quality.. Can you tell something about your experience with the Exim? How went the installation (and re-installation)?
Martin Fields or Exim dont make a difference in price (£10).. The glue free feature of Exim makes me think to choose the Exim.
Other opinions why I have to choose an other Screen Protector?

Use a Brando Ultraclear: fits perfect with no glue (removable, washable and re-usable). I'm using on hd2 and is totally unnoticeable; i had on my previous device (and on my TomTom also) and after one year there are no scratch on surface and the screen protector appears like brand new

Installation is the same as any other screen protector. After I installed it, if there is any dust specs behind the protector, I simply lift it up with masking tape and use another piece of masking tape to remove the dust.
I just removed my exim from my old Diamond (after 2 years ish) and the screen is in perfect condition with no residue left.

Anyone got a photo of the HD2 Martin Fields protectors on the phone, to get an idea of fit - got the HTC ones and they were terrible but would ultimately like one to be on the safe side...

Here u go. My lovely HD2 with Martin Fields on it. 30% backlight, very clear, isnt it?

Is Martin Fields better than the official HTC one as i ordered myself 4 and they seems good so not sure what i will do with the other 3.

i'm using this.. http://www.capdase.com/en/product5.php?cid=1&bid=5&mid=321&pid=3633

So, after all, there isn't much difference between the different brands (Martin Fiels, Exim, Brando)?

I can't comment on how the others that you mentioned performs as I have never used them. What I can say is that the exim does not reduce sensitivity, I had a normal cheap one on and I couldn't stand it as the screen was desensitised.

well I can tell you about different screen protectors.
i had invisible shield on my hd for 1 and half year, no visible scratches, now changed screen part to htc branded, it has been for one week and there is 7 very visible deep scratches.
same time that i bought htc branded for hd i bought brando ultraclear for hd2 and it has not even slightest mark, even that it has had much more usage than hd. also had same brando on my htc wizard for 2years and it got 2 very small marks.
martin shields is about the same that brando, maybe even better, had one on my diamond. but brando is better fit i think.
i recommend brando or martin, they are superior to any other. zagg invisible is god but its kinda sluggish for first 2months when brando, martin are very slicky nice.
cheap protectors like htc are BAD if one package has more than one it cant be good since even they dont trust their own product.

[Q] Anyone used Martin Fields screen protector?

I heard many good things about them but I'm bit hesitant to order because of the $16.99 shipping cost.
So about $33 with front LCD and camera lens protector.
I will get my Nexus S this weekend so I ordered the TPU case from eBay but I still haven't gotten the screen protector yet.
Any previous experiences or recommendations?

I've used Martin Fields screen protectors on almost all of my gadgets in the last few years. I've yet to grab one for the Nexus but it's on my list of things to do.
They are washable if you have a lot of patience and are willing to use tape to remove all the dust and debris that might gather while it dries. Same goes for the installation - be very patient and very careful. The results are more than worth it though. Never had a scratch on my screens and you can't even tell that it's there.

Martin Fields
I ordered one so we shall see :]

Bit late but thought I'd pipe in - I love Martin Fields and think they are the best.
They even include protectors for things like the flash on your camera (not sure if they do for this specific model).
Brillliant quality and clarity.
Only wish it was anti-finger print.

I got one today for the Nexus S, terrible fit, it is a good 3mm too short and about 1mm too narrow.
some pics here: imgur.com/a/xSe6D

Yea that is pretty bad. I got a free screen protector with my case that's similar to martin fields (a lot crappier obviously) but it fits better but peels up at the edges due to the rounded glass of the phone... so I guess that's why martin fields decided to not make it go out to the edges.
Guess the best solution is to get a wet-type screen protector a la ghost armor/zagg =\

I think your hypothesis of Martin Fields avoiding the curved edges of the glass has merit. Their screen protectors are very rigid and don't like to bend or curve around anything. I'm guessing that if they made it longer it wouldn't adhere properly. I suppose that is the compromise for such a scratch resistant surface.

Well I emailed them and they said it was because of the nexus s curved screen, I personally can't see why it would needed to fall so short of the edges.

So t doesn't peel up like the rest of the "hard" screen protectors. I've been through a few and they all suffer from the same problem at the edges.

Even though the peel look is there, dust doesn't get inside (using without a case). That's my experience with it anyways. Although it does get a bit annoying sometimes whenever I see it, but I try to put it under the case.

I got the sgp crystal. Been using steinheil protectors since my gnex and I like them a lot. Fits perfect and feels good. No cutout for the proximity sensor, but no issues caused by it in my use. I'd definitely recommend it.

I'm using a free screen protector which came with Ringke Slim case. So, I believe this screen protector is Ringke Invisible Defender PET. I actually love this. It's smooth and clear. I didn't have any troubles to install. I used the hinge method and worked great.
I'm using this just for a week. So, I don't know how long it lasts but... so far so good

I have this one too, I bought a 3-pack after having used a Rearth/Ringke film protector on my Galaxy S3 for years. It does have the cutout for the proximity sensor, whether that affects the sensor or not it speaks to their attention to detail I think. Anyway, so far so good. It was easy to apply with no bubbles and the edges haven't peeled up.

Just got the Ringke one yesterday also and it looks great and has cut out for the grills, camera, and proximity sensor.
I originally bought "6-Pack Ultra Clear HD XtremeGuard HI-DEF Screen Protector Cover For LG Nexus 5X," but those were cut terribly, i.e., edges were not straight and the edges would not stay down, so bought the Ringke ones. Seems to be working great.

I haven't used PET film protectors in awhile, but back when I did, I found Martin Fields to consistently be the best. They're pricey, but worth it.

Does the proximity sensor cutout matter for PET films too or is it only a tempered glass problem?
Thought of going Martin Fields but it seems like there might be no cutout:

I do have one PET film I bought for fifty cents on hand now though.

That's a good question, and I wish that I had an answer for you. I haven't used PET film in a few years. I'd recommend emailing them. Back when I used them, they were very responsive to email inquiries.
EDIT: Poster above states his PET film had no cutout for proximity sensor, with no issues (different brand).

I emailed and seems like there hasn't been any complains.
Martin Fields is expensive but it has that extra camera lens protector piece.
Though after 2 years the piece on my Nexus 5 screen has some dot marks like sand grains imprints and minor scratches on it.

Recommended screen protector?

I just received an IQ Shield Matte screen protector and I'm really disappointed. It screws up the colors and whites have a rainbow effect to them. I took it off and now I'm looking for a new one. I'd like one that is:
1. Anti-glare
2. Anti-fingerprint
3. Clear and doesn't screw with this beautiful display.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!

Thee one and only,,,,but more importantly expensive whitestone dome screen protector is probably the most I've heard of working...45 to 50 dollars tho

Any you can recommend about $20 and under?

First I tried the Spigen NeoFlex film screen protectors and they are garbage. Then I ordered a cheapo full cover tempered glass screen protector from eBay and it works great.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Full-Cov...ector-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-8-/332345555824
I've only been using it for about a week so I can't say how well it will keep dust out. Sensitivity is great, I don't notice it's on at all. It's not Anti-glare or Anti-fingerprint but it's only $8.

I'm using the i-blason tempered glass.
Under $20, it's still on, doesn't interfere with the screen.
It's still going to collect fingerprints and smudges due to the oils in our skin, but it wipes off easily.

thats becuz the neoflex is a rubber 3m film, not plasti-glass. i honestly like Spigen Neoflex screen protector. only downfall is using the pen on it leaves lines where youve drawn .. but cant be felt by your touch

Oh wow that sucks but for some reason YouTubers recommend this for s8 and note 8 idk man it looks promising but yeah that warning I've never seen before

There are plenty of discussions under the accessories section
But I'd say don't bother. I had one tempered glass protector on for an hour before it annoyed me too much and I removed it! Destroys the feel and use of the phone.

I have been buying the RhinoShield stuff for my stuff and its held up really well for me.
rhinoshield.io is where you'll find it.. (I havn't logged in long enough that I forgot my account info :/ )
edit: found my login info so now I can add the link:
https://rhinoshield.io/collections/samsung-galaxy-note-8
Plus, nobody else's stuff has any evidence that even suggests it actually works.
I havn't tried it for the note8 but I came by this thread while I was researching if anyone had so figure I'd mention it. It is expensive to get the whole kit (screen protector, bumper, and in this case rear glass protector), but I found it worth it..

I have a cheapo '2.5D' glass and its doing well. Touch response is worse mind.
There is a speaker hole at the top; this needs covering with a bit of tape or you wil get dust between the screen and the protector.

I purchased a relatively inexpensive TG protector. While it exhibits many of the drawbacks of TG protectors that aren't full-adhesive (i.e. all of them except the Whitestone Dome), it doesn't have quite the "rainbow effect" that I've seen with other protectors.
Its real downside, though, is its slickness ... I need a more paper-like surface to better control the s-pen. Just the tiniest bit of friction would help. I'm thinking that I may have to go to a film protector rather than TG to get that, though. Does anyone else have this issue with TG protectors?

Ever since the introduction of the edge curved screen (and I have owned the lot) I have never found a decent screen saver. It is a subject on every forum here on XDA and concerning all the Samsung edge models.
I have taken recommendations only to find them useless. Some use a glue, some have a dotted appearance after application some just suck period!
I used a partial screen saver once that just covered the centre of the screen but even that proved awful. Even used Samsungs own on the Note 7 and though that was not glass it also was horrible.
If any peer here does find a working screen protector PLEASE let us know.

Whitestone is the best.

I like the Spigen NeoFlex, it's been great so far for me. Went on easily, hasn't peeled off the corners/edge (and I use the Spigen Tough Armor case) and after the 12 hours to settle on the screen it looks great and writing on it with the s-pen feels good too. My personal opinion and the only one I've tried so far on my Note 8

Can the Whiitestone be removed once it's been glued to the Screen?

I got the Bodyguardz glass protector sold to me at the AT&T store (lazy me). The guy installed it and it's ok. Glass protectors have an innate problem in that they sometimes don't transmit touches to the touchscreen itself. This one is no different but it does fit well. And it has a lifetime free replacement policy. I'll keep it to protect my screen.
