Screen Protector?

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'
regards mad

!!! WARNING !!! - I've now tried this product. Touch screen doesn't work at all with this screen protector fitted - !!! AVOID !!!

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...

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

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 )

Best Screen Protector

I can't figure out why there isn't a thread on this in the Accessories section of the forum. Those crazy Euro guys have a few threads on this topic and we have none.
Well, be it Zagg, Clear-Coat, Lexerd, BodyGuardz, etc? Is there a comprehensive comparison out there somewhere? All I ever see from Google searches is forums with everybody saying something different and defending their single purchase.

I think almost everything is going to end up being more subjective when it comes to these.
I have used many kinds in the past and each time I get a new device I always order a Phantomskinz.
I only wish they offered just the screen part in matte, but for under $8 for two skinz shipped I have found it to have the best clarity and feel.
I am horrible at putting protectors on and something always goes wrong, but even with the little imperfections I don't notice them when using the device.

Like the Boxwave - they have both crystal and matte. Like it because it fits the tMobile version perfectly and there is protection for the entire front glass surface including around the bottom surrounding the buttons. Have had them before on all my touch and non touch screen phones. You do have to be careful when applying to avoid bubbles but it can be removed and reapplied again and again.

best screen protector by far to me is the Clarivue screen protector. http://cgi.ebay.com/2-x-Clarivue-Sc...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c1323f296
I've used it on all of my phones, ( htc dash, tilt, g1, fuze, and now my hd2) all came in a two pack, with a screen cleaning wipe, no adhesive, self clinging, I won't buy anything else.

Invisible Shield from Zagg
Second time I've used 'em. First time was on my Samsung Behold and it actually increased the touch screen performance.
Just got the full coverage on my HD2 last night. Still trying to get used to it. It's definitely more "grabby". Seems to make your fingers stick to the screen, which in turn activates an unwanted app or link. It's only been a day and I'm sure it will smooth out and become more responsive. It did for my Samsung. It will give the back of your phone a gloss look, which I don't care for, but it won't get scratches when it sits in my pocket or slides across my dash. It will fell less slippery in your hands too.
Pricey but worth it in the end. If anyone is considering it, PM me, I think I have a discount code floating around in my email somewhere I can pass on.
Hope that helps.

Why do you want a screen protector? the screen is scratch resistant. I watched my TMO sales rep attack it with the end of a pair of hardcore scissors and not a scratch on the demo model.

Several peeps from this site have said that they have gotten scratches on their HD2 screen. But yeah, I've seen the videos, but never tried it myself. I still use a screen protector just in case.

I think the Zagg are too thick and dont like the "orange peel" effect they give. I tried a few different brands and have nothing but great things to say about Clear Coat. Easy to install too. I take mine back once a month just to get a replacement whether it needs it or not. They replace no questions asked every time. No hassle. My favorite so far.
Clear Coat

BW UltraClear from Brando
My current phone is an Xperia, and I'm using the BW UltraClear. I've had it on my Axim and iMate Jam as well. It doesn't have a grainy look, and it works great with my stylus. I ordered one last week in preparation for the HD2, and another one for my gf's iPod Touch. The cheap screen protector is messing up her touch response.

i still have yet to find a good one...cheap ones are crap with touch responsiveness, good ones wear out quick

Skinomi TechSkin: a bit daunting to put on, uses a "wet water" solution, worked fine on the first try. Screen cover is a little thicker and more "grabby" than I expected. Touch & pinch thru the film is fine, not as good as no protector at all. Transparency is excellent.
Microthin dry-transfer film: easy to apply, to re-apply, and to replace. Much thicker than the Skinomi. Touch thru the film is fine, but pinch operations take a little getting used to.
Stock coating (no after-market cover): Great touch, no scratches in 2 weeks' everyday use. If Seidio or someone comes out with a good, soft-lining face-in holster, I'd skip the screen skin.

just recieved the vikuiti screen protector and despite all the rumours of it not fiting the tmobile u.s. version because of the 1.5mm difference...i can confirm that it fits perfectly and fingers glide smoothly across the screen on my phone...even covers under the buttons unlike many other protectors...they also come with warranty...if it doesnt stick or starts to come up they will send out a replacement for no charge...or so they say...havnt had to try it yet...cost a little over 10 dollars and arrived in 5 days from HK to US
also the capdase hard silicone case works great with our version as well...just off slightly off at the bottom by the microphone but people can still hear just fine.....very snug and not feeling loose...it keeps the contour of the phone on the back which i like and it still keeps the phone slim...totally transparent...covers the camera in the back so it can be left on a table without suffering any scratches to the chrome bezel or the camera lens...looks sweet...cost is $13.40 shipped and arrived in 5 days from hong kong
Kind of a gamble but for me it worked out perfectly and exactly what i was looking for..

I must have sticky fingers because I have a hard time sliding my finger across the glass. Kind of a pain because I love Swype. So, the question for me is which protector is the slickest?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

it doesn't cover the entire screen.

scrn protector
it covers the entire viewable screen, it does not cover part of the black area which is not important and accounts for less than 3/4 of a square inch.
i guess it's a matter if preference, i do not see this as a deal breaker, as it does what it is intended to do and its inexpensive and matte - good for me - maybe u will find one more to your tastes

I picked up the Vikuiti DQC-160 for a TMOUS HD2 and I can confirm it fits perfectly, despite being manufactured for the Euro version. From what I understand the TMOUS version is about one millimeter taller, but it must be in the bezel and not the screen.
Applying the protector was effortless, has no orange peel effect, and essentially feels like I'm touching glass. I'm very happy with it thus far.

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

Oh! Thank you Breezer for posting this review! We all low you so much!

Martin field are awesome. I'm using one on my galaxy nexus since January and it's still in perfect shape. I would buy that for my N7 but I'm keeping it naked.

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.

*AVOID* Skinomi Tech Glass - Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Glass Screen Protector

The packaging is fancy, install is pretty straight forward... but all the means nothing if the screen protector doesn't cover the whole screen, nor adhere to it either. There is about 1-2 mm on both sides that is left uncovered by the screen protector, and then about 2-3mm where the screen protector does not adhere to the screen leaving an ugly effect. While the part that's not adhered to the screen is only noticeable while the screen is off, the portion uncovered is noticeable with the screen on. You can tell where the screen protector ends and portion not cover begins because of the curved edge of the protector. And there is an annoying rainbow effect when looking at the edge of the screen protector at an angle when the screen is off.
I wonder if these people actually "test" these screen protectors before they start selling them. Or they just go off the design specs available online when measuring.

I've got mine when they were promo'd on slickdeals for like 95 cents. The packaging is nice but there does seem to be a lot of complaints about halo's and whatnot, haven't put it on yet. Quess i shoulda researched before i bought

I installed the skinomi a while ago and it had halo but was sized much better than what is pictured here. I wonder how there can be so much variability in the manufacturing process.

Have you tried contacting Skinomi before creating a thread like this? It's very possible you just got a bad protector. Keep in mind glass protectors won't cover the entire front glass since it's slightly curved at the edges, but it does look like yours is a bit small. I have a Skinomi glass protector on my Note5 and it covers the entire visible display quite nicely (almost perfect to the edges of the display). No halo effect either.
They'll likely give you a free replacement.

Someone might have accidently packaged a different protector from another phone.
I would contact the manufacturer and they'll probably send you the correct one.

Ya sorry but i used the promotion on here and got one for .95 shipped and overall it adhered good and is sized much better than yours. Only at the bottom right corner where i believe my fingernail scraped away some of the adhesive lifting it back up was it not sticking.

Other than the slight "halo" mine fits just fine. It's doing its job of protecting the screen

Halo all the way around. I tossed mine. My phone is naked now but I will be going back to matte screen protectors when they arrive. Ran through too many glass protectors and all of them have halo. Not paying $30+ for a screen protector.

I ordered two of these (in case one arrived cracked/damaged) then I would not have to wait on a replacement to keep my phone protected. And if both arrived with out damage, then I would have a spare if the 1st was damaged during use. Both that I received were exact same size, and neither covered the display entirely.
I had no issues with "halo" effect in the screen protector itself. My issue was it does not cover the entire screen (the screen not the glass front.)
And I'm well aware that glass screen protector do not go from edge to edge of the front of the device; yet they should at least cover the actual display itself.

I have to say the screen protector can not be the way as you wanted if your screen has a little curve edge .
most of the affordable screen protector just sized down a little bit , it is easy to make also , will reduce the cost of the product
and it will be easy to go with case
as i know you have a supcase , why did you still use the screen protector ?

I've been using Android since 2008 on my T-mobile G1, and have bought new devices every year. I know how a screen protector should look and function.
Stopping the screen protector before it even covers the actual display is not acceptable or how they fit properly. (and incase you are not aware "display" is the part of the device that produce the imagery, the visual interactive part when you press the power button, not the bezel or "entire" front of the phone.)
You are stalking my reviews on Amazon, gonna start stalking them on Xda also?
And as far as your comment about SUPCASE; I have many cases, SUPCASE, Otterbox, Spigen, and UAG. Also several off brand cases.
I don't use the same case all the time, I like to switch it up. And having a screen protector on the device allows me to use cases that don't
have them built in (which most do not)

No idea what "[email protected]@" means, but good for you bud.
I have no interest in trying your "touch" case; as its a clone of the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle PRO Series minus the Belt Clip Holster (which I already own.)

it must have been a bad batch or perhaps an oversight. had Skinomi thou and got good results so..

Wow, it really seems like some of you guys are attacking him, and somehow blaming him for the shortcomings of this screen protector. Jeez

yeah i had the same issue with them
avoid the complete screen protector as well
even though they offer warranty for free. the screen protector sucks

Pelosi Sandstone Protective Hard Cover

I searched and did not find a thread on this. I was originally going to opt in to buy the Nillkin slim case but it did not cover the bottom and top parts of the phone.... but this one does! So in case anyone is looking for a slim case, with a great feel to it that adds a bit of grip (due to the sandstone feel), this is the case for you. I have it paired with a BestSkinsEver screen protector and I have no issues with it.

Can I request that you post some more close up shots of the front of the phone with the case on? I'm particularly interested in how much the lip covers the screen.
I wanted the sandstone case but couldn't justify the price that OnePlus was selling theirs for.
Thanks

Had that cover, its ok, but the only problem I had with it, when removing from pocket, it pulls my pocket out, because it sticks with it.

1) The material is different (TPU vs. hard case).
2) The slim factor is different (the Spigen case is thicker, longer, and wider).
3) The Spigen case will most likely protect more than this Pelosi case.
So if you're going for slim factor, get this case but if you want protection for your phone, I believe you're better off with the Spigen case.

I'll try and take some pictures tonight and upload them so you can see (unless someone gets to do this first before I can).

What is your opinion on the BestSkinsEver screen protector? Is it similar to a regular PET screen protector? How good is the oleophobic coating on it and the translucency of it compared to the stock or third-party screen protectors?

I am a little biased because I have installed BSE protectors on electronics/phones I have owned, as long as BSE offers the option to as I think it is a fantastic product (good value for the money, shipping is extremely cheap to Toronto, Canada). It's not the same as a regular PET screen protector. I think you're talking about those plastic protectors but I find those scratch easily, and also, the application is different. I have yet to put a deep or noticeable scratch on a BSE skin but again, this depends on how you handle the phones/electronics. I even have this BSE skin on my Pebble watch and that thing takes a beating. Still no scratches visible on the screen protector itself on the watch.
I don't believe there's any oleophobic coating at all on the BSE skin, and if there is, super minimal that I don't even notice it ? With that said, I don't think it's fair for me to comment on the "oleophobic coating" (or maybe lack thereof) because I don't typically handle my phone if I have handled (oily) food. With regular use, I don't notice much fingerprints so it's not something that has jumped out at me.
I have had no issues with yellowing, and the "orange peel" look is VERY VERY minimal compared to something like XtremeGuard (the yellowing issue/orange peel was horrible on that). I had this BSE on my Note 4; had no issue with the S-pen gliding on it. The glossy screen protector from BSE won't cut into the clarity of the phone's display so that's not something to worry about. I have tried glass screen protectors and OK, maybe you can tell side-by-side the difference in clarity by a little bit, but typically, the glass protectors are used for drop protection. I prefer the BSE because the fingerprints on the glass bother me, and my main concern are scratches on the screen, not a shattered screen *knock on wood*.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to post this.
Looks like it offers very little protection on the front side though so I will be sticking with my Spigen Rugged. If only this phone was more popular, manufacturers would make more cases. I get jealous of iPhones for having all the cool phone cases.
Thanks again!
