Screen Protector?

Screen Protector? - Click Accessories

Anyone got any exeperience / preference with screen protecetors for the Tattoo?
I just ordered a cheapy on (fle)ebay - ill report back on effectiveness.

My seller put a screen protector when I buy it. Could be a cheap one.. but so far I dont have any issue

The only ones I could find are slightly too small - they are for a 2.8" screen and cover the active part of the screen, but not out to the edges. TBH, you don't really notice unless you are dragging your finger off th side of the screen.
Can't remember where I got them but a UK seller

I got the BW UltraClear PDA S/P ( http://shop.brando.com/bw-ultraclear-pda-s-p-htc-tattoo-_p03844c0018d008.html )
It covers the whole screen and the black border around it. It's invisible. Noone even notices it.

The invisible shield should work great.

htc diamond screen protector fits... kind of
you can use the screen protector from a htc diamond. the width is perfect, but the length is a bit longer than required. i used a sharp blade to cut off part of the length from it.
i had to do this because i didnt find a screen protector for a tattoo

go to zagg.com, they have the screen-only and full body protectors for 14.99 and 24.99 respectively.

Im waiting for dealextreme to add Tattoos screen protector

I found an official pack of screen protectors from htc on ebay. Needless to say, it works perfectly.

I recently Baught 2x screen protectors for this off ebay, didnt think that the price would matter so i bought them for £1.60 it total, what a total rip off, arrived today basically 2 pieces of ****ty plastic thats sticky.. first one would'nt stick and second one i have on but its poor quality & has bubbles on... avoid cheap ones!

Is a screen protector needed in your experience with Tattoo?
Is display too weak?
It seems good..

I always buy a screen protector for my touchscreen phones. I have always used Martin Fields screen protectors and they are absolutely awesome. Put it on once and forget about it forever. This time I put Invisible Shield on my Tattoo, cos I got a great deal on it and hate it. I is not Invisible at all. When the screen is off it is very visible. I will see if I can live with it otherwise I am buying myself another Martin Fields.

Thanks Jabe for your answer, i'll check Martin Fields screen protectors

I also use this, got it in Germany for 6 Euro (about 8 US$). It's not visible and easy to put on.

I bought a screen protector from boxwavecorporation
It is the best screen protector you can find on the market
It fits screen perfectly it covers also black screen outlining.
you can wash it under the water,and later on reuse it

The only thing to bear in mind is that when you remove the covers (tattoomyhtc.com) you can loosen the screen protector - I bought HTC original screen protectors from ebay (hong kong) the first one came off when I took off my original phone cover. I would recommend taking off the front of the phone and trying to get the screen cover as perfectly positioned as possible on the screen. Then re add your phone cover.

I have an Invisible Shield for 2 months and it's very nice.

i agree, zagg's the best solution for me.. except after months of usage it becomes
a lil bit yellow on the eadges from the smoke and the little things on your pocket
but after you remove it, the tattoo is just like new!

Does anyone here know of any nice and good screen protector for sale online? Cant find anything much over at ebay.

I've read in a review of htc hd2 that a screen protector will not be good because capacitive screen (I don't know if it's right or not)

Well there are none included in the HTC's boxed HD2 which seems to be a hint.

galaxys> yeah, I read about that too. I think i should just go ahead and buy from ebay as I don wanna risk my coming HD2 having a scratches... especially on the screen.

Having not put a screen protector on my Blackstone as soon as I bought it and then put a deep scratch on the screen I will be fitting one to my Leo when it arrives. I was not sure about there being one in the box - thanks for that galaxys - so I ordered one with my Leo from HandTec.

Well iPhones have screen protectors....

well,
this are my 2 cent of thinking about screenprotector for hd2 (or iphone as well)
1. there display surface of capacitive screens is made of real glas not plastic!, wich makes it more 'scratch resistend' then the plastic ones used in other devices.
2. you have to use your finger and not the fingernail (pen, or other hard and sharp things) to make the display reacting. so this is another 'scratch preventer'.
3. the display films today are that thin, that i dont think they prevent the display from responding.
so after all i thing i will buy a screenprotector for my hd2 but im realy not in a hurry getting it. its definetly not a 'high priority' thing on my 'todolists'

!!! WARNING !!! - I've now tried this product. Touch screen doesn't work at all with this screen protector fitted - !!! AVOID !!!
http://www.protectionfilms24.com/article/vikuiti-armr200-screen-protector-htc-hd2-28088.html
Looks pretty good - 3M film pre-cut, full face. 3M docs suggest 3-6 months life from film. It's a thin film 5 mil and is fine with capacitative display.
Have you seen the new apple mouse - that's a capacitative touch screen with the sensor loops under a plastic shell...
!!! WARNING !!! - I've now tried this product. Touch screen doesn't work at all with this screen protector fitted - !!! AVOID !!!

Its a misconception that Screenprotectors reduce sensitivity of a Capacitive screen. That totally BS. Capacitive is in no way affected by a screen protector.
And believe me, you will need a screen protector for even a glass based surface. After all you dont wanna see even 1 little scratch!
Im getting a Zagg Full body protector as soon as I buy this device.
Please fill in the request here for Zagg to make a Guard for the HD2 :

There's probably a reason why HTC sell screen protectors for the HD2 at their online store.
But if we really need one, then i don't see why the didn't include one :s

I've used a Martin Fields on my X1 and it's brilliant. I'm waiting them to release one than I'll be ordering mine!

If I end up getting one, then it's because I want an anti-glare protector to help with fingerprints, smudges, glare, & sunlight legibility!

You can never be too safe with these screens. I've got a Cowon S9 which supposedly has a toughened glass screen, still manged to put a tiny scratch on it though, highly annoyed!

Is this good?
What about this?:

Yes, really impressive indeed, but me, I'm going to order a screenprotector "just in case" I'd rather be overprotective here

"helped out" with the zagg shield thing
hopefully the pouch will be enough for me, but you never know

Using Adapt Screenprotector
Because you can never be too sure, I use the Adapt Diamond Screenadapter for HD2. It works fine for me. I do not notice any difference in screen handling what so ever. (But then again, my TomTom doesn't show any lagging either )

Thanks for the warning but have just bought one before seeing this! Will return it unopened.

Okay, I really need the perfect screen protector!

Please help me. I am tired of trying so many different screen protectors and none of them seem to fit the HD2 perfectly.
I've tried many about 3 sellers from ebay and even the invisibleshield screen protectors.
I cannot seem to find one that is perfectly aligned to the HD2's screen from top to bottom and side to side.
Here the invisible shield screen protector. Look how badly it aligns around the speaker and from side-to-side!

Can someone please recommend me a perfectly aligned screen protector!
I don't care if it's glossy or matted. Just as long as it is perfectly aligned, sticks very well and high quality and NOT cheapy!
Thank you so much guys.
And if you can please take a picture of your recommended ones...That's be great!

the alignment around the speaker is done with a purpose. this cutout in the screenprotector makes sure the lightsensor and proximity sensor are not blocked.
if it fits tight around the speaker hole the proximity switch isnot working anymore. this sensor is controlling the switching on and off of the screen in a call. when the screen protector covers this sensor this means the screen goes and stays dark when making a call and when you remove the phone from your ear the screen will not light up. so you will not be able to control the phone by the screen.
i had a screen protector where it had a hole for this sensor but was not properly aligned so had the same effect and i had to cut it the way yours looks to getit working again

there is already a topic for that on this forum where most brands have been discussed.
"not aligned to speaker grids: joking? this is sensors layout! though not everbody experiences problems with sp covering them.
for ex my antiglare covers the sensor but does not interfere at all, still very "sensitive".

Can you tell me where she got her's then? Brand? And also, is the SP aligned edge to edge?
Because I hate a screen protector that does leaves about 1cm of screen unprotected (see pictures).

Not to step on anyone's toes here, but let's also remember that the purpose of the screen saver is to protect the screen from damage, which I highly doubt is likely to occur in the nanometer of space at the edge of an imperfect screen protector. I do realize that we want to do the best we can to make things right, but I am just trying to throw a little perspective into the mix.

Martin Fields Overlay Screen Protector is what I got and it fits perfectly. Easily to install, no bubbles. It not a cheap one but worth it IMO.

this one:

Search for 3M Vikuiti DQC160
it's perfect. unlike most, it is perfectly cut for the speaker, covers the light and proximity sensors and they still work perfectly.

I will always vouch for Martin Fields... however you can also consider PDair's screen protector... mine fits ALL the edges perfectly... it also follows the speaker grill... you can't even tell its there. Because they claim (and I believe it after using it) 99% transparency... it is so clear my light sensors work perfectly even though the SP covers it...it also isnt cheap

I use that one too. Very nice feel in use, and washable too so you can have multiple attempts at applying it perfectly.
However I have a slight bubble on my screen but its not visible when the phone is switched on. With skilled hands there's no reason you couldn't apply a perfect fit.

THE GENUINE HTC PROTECTOR LINES UP PERFECTLY ! MADE BY HTC THEMSELVES WITH ACTUAL PDAS NOT DUMMY MODELS LIKE OTHER SCREEN PROTECTOR MANUFACTURERS !
Cheapest on eBay, not kidding ! Another search shows one for 3.75 pounds total. Get it here for 3 quid if bidding and if you want to buy now for 3.5 quid.
These retail for about 8.22 at Clove Technology.
Get a screen protector for your loved HD2, I certainly got one for my baby.
See here :
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180470120084&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

in another hand if the SP is a bit too large this may not stick well/make bubbles on the sides depending on the product.
1mm gap can't really bee seen and is not on the touchscreen field.

As promised, pics of Vikuity DQC:
and these last with Flexishield case on:
As you can see, i need to vacuum, it's really dusty @ my place.
Hope it helps

fits perfect but 15 dollars for just one screen protector, the oem iphone one is 10 for 2 and theyre the best ones they make

we have a saying here: "you get what you pay for". As the chances of me scratching the screen or even just the protector are very slim (haven't scratched a screen yet) i think it was well worth the money. Also, big plusses for me were the button cutouts, instead of it not covering the whole glass area like ebay ones, the feel when touched almost identical to the glass screen, and also the free install by a professional, which guaranteed a perfect, bubble free fit. Also, if you don't have pro to install it for you you can take it off and just wash it..

Review: Martin Field's Screen Protector (Best I've Ever Used!)

I purchased this based on some feedback I had read one some other forums. I have tried nearly every major screen protector out there (Spigen, RearthUSA, Incipio, PowerSupportUSA, Switcheasy, BodyGuardz, XO Skins, Best Skins Ever, a ton of cheap ones off Amazon, Zagg, etc.). Up until this point, I had always found the Ultra Crystal from Spigen to be the best overall. Not anymore.
Before I get started I want to mention that the Martin Fields Screen protectors are not cheap. One screen protector for the Nexus 7 is $29.99 ($34.99 for one iPad protector and $16.99 for one Galaxy Nexus protector)and it only comes with one screen protector and a set of instructions. That's it. I will say that the packaging is very environmentally friendly for those that care (makes no difference to me).
One issue I've always found to be a huge problem with these dry, crystal clear screen protectors (Again, think Spigen Ultra Crystal) is that they show fingerprints so easily that it really can become a huge nuisance and to my surprise this one doesn't show much at all. I would say it's nearly as good at resisting fingerprints as a matte finish screen protector.
A very innovative feature this screen protector offers is that it is completely removable. They include a Mylar sheet that you can stick it to if you need to take it off. Just apply a small piece of scotch tape at the bottom corner and slowly pull to remove it. This does bring up the biggest problem that I have with this protector though. It is somewhat brittle. It will crease if you aren't careful with it.
Turn on a steamy shower and install. Be patient as these things are a perfect fit and will require some patience to install.
Quick Summary:
PROS:
As clear as any I've ever used
Does not pick up oils like most clear, dry application screen protectors generally do
Feels as close to glass as anything I've ever used
Reusable
Covers entire screen
Comes with a Camera Lens cover as well
CONS:
Not cheap. If you purchase directly from MartinFields.com it is $16.99 + $4.99 shipping. Be aware of fakes on Amazon.
Doesn't come with much. Just a simple paper package, a screen protector and a Mylar sheet to apply it to if you decide to take it off and use it later.
Fragile, it will crease if you aren't careful

Hahahaha! That is hilarious. They do show fingerprints like a lot of dry application protectors but they don't have that blue smear effect ou get (Ultra Crystal).

So I purchased one of these and installed it this afternoon. All is well except three of the corners have a bubble and appear slightly lifted. The protector appears to be installed properly and no amount of rubbing with a credit card or fingers can get these edges to stick. Fwiw, I tried a reinstallation and have not touched the adhesive side.

How easy to install screen protector like this on Nexus 7?
I have concern for dust particles, bubbles and imperfection because 7" is not quite small.
And how is it with the touch, swiping, etc. still good?
If you can make some photos showing from corner to corner, that would be awesome.
Thanks for your review btw, I am considering to use this MF screen protector + some kind of back-case ala Incipio Feather for phones

I have installed probably 10 different protectors on devices of various shapes and sizes, and I find that with patience, the bigger the device, the easier it is to get the protector aligned properly. But it does take patience as you can spend 15-30 minutes just fishing dust out with scotch tape without getting fingerprints on the back side of the protector to get a perfect, bubble free adhesion.
I gave up on running a hot shower while doing it as it just makes the dust harder to find if it gets on the screen anyways, and for me it always seems to.
