Touch screen and scratches

I've never used screen protectors for my previous gadgets. Tried to apply the screen protector that comes with TD2 but I'm not really pleased with the result and the new feeling. TD2 is my first phone with touch screen. Is a touch screen more sensitive to cratches and does it get scratches more easily?
My previous gadgets never had scratches.

Yes, you do need your screen protector for these gadgets. It is well recommended. The friction from usage of the stylus may cause scratches on the screen.

Yes, it's very recommended... I didn't applied my screen protector at first and now have a deep scratch in my display.. it's very annoying.

I recommend to use a screen protector. You can order cheap new ones from Ebay. Take your time to place the protector. I've used some scotsch tape to clean the screen.
If you need help with adding you screenprotector, search on youtube, there are several tutorials. Good luck!
PS. I've got a scratch on my screen protector allready

Thanks guys! I'll keep my HTC original screen protector for a while and then order a ZAGG InvissibleShield. Looks like the ZAGG one is not as "sticky" as the HTC when applied and can be moved/slided around on the display until it fits nicely.
Do you all use one for the back aswell? Feels a bit unnecessary, I think I prefer replacing the backplate after a year or so instead. But all your input is welcome.

I never used and I probably never will.
I keep my device in my front pocket and also I use it very often and I dont realy care so much.
Maybe scratches are noticeable after 2-3 years but by that time I will glue the device to my fridge...

I think the front will do, I have seen these on the iPhones and it looks really crappy on the back. I thought my friend's phone was cracked on the corners when I first saw it and then he told me it was a protector. This is because on the corner is where the joints are for the back protector. It doesn't close up nicely. I think it looks pretty crap.

Brando Screen Protector

Hi all,
since Brando Screen Protector is still not avaible, and thus Magic has 3.2" display, which one of the ones avaible could fit our dispaly? In another words, which ppc or cellphone has a 3.2" display so that we can use it to supply it?

i think the g1's screen protector would work? I just cut up an ipod touch's screen protector to fit the screen...although its painstaking but came out really good in the end!

Thanx for your answer...I just bought it...

Yeah, G1 Brandos fit perfectly.
BTW: HTC Magic Brandos now available from Brando Shop.

How does this work?
magic had a capacitive screen that reacts to the skin of your finger.
how can it still work when there is a piece of plastic between it?
I do want a screen protector, but i dont understand it..

Tiny microscopic holes?

it responds to change in the electromagnetic field on the surface of the screen. this field also recalibrates itself, so it doesnt change at all when applying something not too thick.

Don't buy invisible shields, they are terrible, please read other threads!!!!!
I've bought 2 of them in the past, you have to spray the liquid thats supplied all over ya screen so you can fit the protector. Once all is dry the protector does'nt have a nice slide on it, its actually very sticky.....
I really don't think spraying all this liquid over your new phone to apply the protector does it any good......

I think i will buy the Brando Workshop Anti-Glare screen protector for Magic.
Anyone else bought this??

I bought a Martin Fields one from ebay, about £10 I thin but it is perfect.
Doesn't affect use of the screen at all, fits perfectly and you can barely tell it's even on.

I ordered one from Brando, it costed 12$ with ports to Portugal, i hope i've made the right choice.

Ok, i have now my brando screen protector, and it is just perfect and i can't almost notice it is on the screen. It fits just perfect. I really recommend this!

How do the Brando ones fit? I've used Brando protectors for a while now and they used to be a great fit but my most recent one for the Touch Diamond was about 1.5mm too small. Not a disaster but I'd prefer it to reach the edge exactly.
Is it the same with these or have they made them fit properly?
Mik

It just fit's properly. 100% good choice

Screen protector question

Hello Everyone,
I've ordered several different screen protectors from different brands over the last weeks for my G2 but they all seem not to fit.
I have a white European T-mobile version D802 and all of them do not cover the screen completely. The screen protector does not cover the sides 100% and have a space of 3mm uncovered, from the top or bottom it is about 5mm. This is including the parts (forgot name for this) where's no touchscreen.
Is it supposed to be like this or am I having bad luck in choosing protectors?
I would like to have a protector that covers the entire front, could any of you point out a good one?
Thanks everyone!

The screen is curved on the edges, its not possible to cover it 100 percent as it would show and it wont stick on the edge and you will notice the protector easier + dust.
Anyway if you wanna get the flipcover you absolutely need the protector. The flip is a bad design as it is ... scratched the screen and now the protector as well... Who thought to make the inside of the window plastic or metallic was an idiot... (its harder as the soft "pillow" and every dust speck or anything between is automatically going to scratch the screen)

Understand.
In that case it covers the top to bottom part of the touchscreen, but still on the sides the touchscreen is not covered completely by 2mm +/-

The ZAGG protector is really good in covering 99% of the phone and with the protector being a wet-application it will stick with the curved screen. only problem is that it has the orange peel look and feel.
Edited:
OH and if you do order the Zagg protector don't order the back protector...it doesn't fit properly...

I dont understand why people are buying screen protectors for G2, are useless in devices with Gorilla Glass, my Samsung Galaxy S2 has 2 years old without any mark on it... don't waste your money.

good luck. It doesn't mean indestructible. Only harder to scratch...
I had many gorilla glass devices. In company as well. Everything gets scratched. I do not buy protectors normally. But I have the flip scratcher(cover) as I said, that's just bad design....

Come on, what a way of thinking, of course if you scrape the surface with sand you will scratch the phone...
I never had a scratch with normal use of my phones...

You should not care about what you do not see though.
I just said that the FlipCover is a bad design... (very bad) and the glass not indestructible. Also under some circumstances likes to get scratched.
Also @citytrader sorry, but sand you can find anywhere ... Just try to travel between Cairo and Alexandria and see in which places on your body you will find Sand.....

Moto Z vs Moto Z Force screen comparison

The Force appears to have a better screen in it than the Z. I have both devices in my possession and have noticed a difference when you tilt the screens. On the standard Z, the further you get away from center the more washed out the colors get and at extreme angles the colors almost invert. You can take the Z Force screen all the way to the very edge to where you can't even see the screen anymore and the colors never fade away or change at all. I don't know if it's a totally different LCD of if they have bonded the plastic screen to the LCD in some new way, but the viewing angles are awesome on the Force. Just an observation.

I totally would have expected the opposite, other shatterproof displays in the past have been crap. Need to go check them out now.

This is exactly what I thought too. I was so confused I had to keep checking the phones to make sure I didn't have them in the wrong hands. I couldn't believe it. The damn plastic shatterproof screen is beating out the glass piece. This might be the future for all phones.
I put a glass screen protector over my Force screen so I have the best of both worlds. For those who don't know the shattershield screens dent very easily so be careful.

No both phones were fresh out of the box. The shattershield phones come with a preinstalled plastic screen protector (which sucks) and it was on as well and nothing on top of it. Just came out of the box.
I was going to take that plastic protector off before I put the glass down but opted not to. Doesn't seem to have affected visual clarity.

Don't they say the force's screen is better?

The top layer of the shatter shield is plastic...and removable?
I had my phone for 7 days and there are some noticeable (albeit light) scratches. Annoying since I've babied it. I installed a screen protector yesterday on it.

If the phone is anything like the droid turbo 2, there is a factory plastic screen protector installed that can be removed. Since I didn't touch my phone until my glass screen protector arrived, I put my glass protector right over the top of everything and it looks great.

in essence, yeah you did. The top layer of the shattershield screen is plastic and acts like what most people would consider a screen protector....
for past phones you could buy replacement top layers from Motorola...im not sure if they are on sale for our phones yet...

I'm in the market for a tempered glass screen protector as well. Glass just feels better to me. So I can remove the plastic cover and put the tempered glass instead?

I would not recommend removing the plastic layer as this is part of the shattershield and would imagine using the phone without it would void the warranty of the screen even with sing an aftermarket protector. I have not read documentation to back this up but it would be worth looking inot since the screen is guaranteed not to shatter for four years, it would be a shame to void the warranty so early into the warranty period.

It's a removable plastic screen protector. Moto sells replacements.

The only issue I have with the Z Force screen (and it really is a non issue) is that it has an odd discoloration when looking at it with polarized sunglasses. The colors are.... I dunno.. Odd....

How does the screen protector over the screen protector look? It seems that would really be overkill and mess up the texting.

I'm glad I did it. The stock screen protector is incredibly soft. Yes it is replaceable but they are pricey.
The screen protector I chose has a matte look to it and gives the screen a little bit more tactile feel. I like it. It's not as distorted as as you'd think.

I hate putting on screen protectors. It usually comes out crooked or there is dirt under it. This one is very forgiving. Got it on my first try and the dirt was gone by the second day.

Finally a proper fitting glass screen protector.

I have tried many and finally found one that actually fits. Until now the best one I have seen is the non glass protector made by Skinobi (for those that like plastic ones use it). However in the glass department they all sucked. The Qoosea one fit but it's about as cheap as you can get construction wise. It's curved but it only has a small amount of basic adhesive along the edges. So basically pocket lint can get under the screen and get stuck there. Also since it doesn't fully sit on the screen sometimes using the screen itself can be a hassle due to poor touch detection. Well all I can say is thank god Top Ace came out with one recently and actually got it right.
It's curved glass, plenty of adhesive on the side that counts and by god it actually fits perfectly. Things line up where they are supposed too. Anyway figured this deserved it's own post since finding a glass protector for this phone can be a pita at times due to the curved edges. Posted a link below, hope it helps. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M3MZQTK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got mine yesterday and I can confirm that yes, this one actually fits great. I bought 2 in case they don't make them anymore when the first one eventually breaks.

From the pictures and one of the latest reviews it looks like this screen protector covers up the light sensor. Are there any completely clear screen protectors that fully covers the front?

Just read one of the comment said it covers the sensor that the phone is unable to turn on the screen automatically during a call when you put it away from your face. Anyone can confirm it?

I bought one on Ebay and it arrived and had curvy edges, but the idiots had sent me one for the full-size Xperia X even though it was in a packet marked X Compact. Way too big. Now I have to fight for a refund.

Anyone know of a UK source for these or a seller who will post to the UK on Ebay/Aliexpress etc?
I too bought one that only sticks to the edge of the phone and it's already got a piece of dust underneath it! I love being able to swipe from the edge with the curved edges and I love the longevity of glass screen protectors, but it's horrible to use as it's just floating a bit off the surface of the phone and makes a click noise/feel when I tap. I asked a load of Ebay sellers and they all said their glass curved screen protectors only stick around the edge of the phone.
Thanks.

Hi,
I found this one on Devilscase when I checked the Aluminium bumber.
http://www.twdevilcase.com/en/index.php?menu=prod_detail&mid=21&did=7&pid=5258&list=class It's curved and seems to have the adhesive on the full screen (except the edges).
Did anyone tried it already out?

Based on them saying all over the website "Please be noted the adhesive is visible on the edge of CURVED Glass Protector" I imagine these ones only have glue on the edges too.

If anyone is wondering, I've attached a photo of what happens if you use a generic glass Ebay curved screen protector that only has glue on the very edges for a fortnight! Lots of dust has crept in through the speaker holes etc - the white dots showing are all dust UNDER the screen protector. I'm going to buy a plastic one that will stick properly.

I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N8XMXGB
Seems like it just ran out of stock though.
edit: I asked the seller and they said they will not restock it, so I guess this will be the last time you'll see it.

I did. I paired it with the aluminum bumper and while the bumper is top quality as usual with devilcase products, I can't say the same for the screen protector.
The screen protector does fit perfectly but it collects dust behind it after few weeks and the responsiveness and consistency of the touchscreen are compromised.
I've been looking for an alternative to buy in Europe but found none. Topace is not an option as is in stock only on Amazon USA. If anyone has suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem and got refunded. Ordered from different seller and got the correct sized one. The item itself is bad. It feels plastic, touch is not always responsive and swipe gesture for opening menu drawer is hard. I need to really press the edge before doing the slide. Screen feel more distance and it feels there are separation between the protector and the screen.
I replaced it with a generic plastic screen protector which actually feels better, easier to make slide gesture, seems more seamless. The ebay curved screen protector is really that bad. I am going to keep using the plastic one and cut a new one to fit it more properly. I also need to check how to prevent it is being lifted up accidentally from the dangling side. I can stand the dust on the dangling side, but i hate when it is lifted up and the lint is actually below the screen protector.

My experience
This is the reference for my second e-bay cover it does not have dust and has lasted much longer than my first that did.
My recollection is that there is adhesive everywhere.

No. You are wrong. I bought one based on your recommendation and it's just another rubbish one that only only has glue in thin strip round the edges that will allow dust to creep in the speaker/camera holes and scratch the screen. More negative feedback to leave!
Why do not manufacturers produce a curved screen protector that's made properly!?! The glue can't be that expensive! [emoji36]
