Opinions please on the best screen protectors available, I spend 8 quid on O2 ones and they are not very good. The cause air bubbles and are quite difficult to apply cleanly.
If possible can you supple the link to the suppliers. Thanks John
I'd be interested in this too. Also are there any differences between screen protectors for the XDA and XDAII ?
Thanks,
Rob.
well the place i ordered screenprotector from had both a xda1 and xda2 version so i asume they are not the same
I've used the same screen protectors I bought for my XDA on my new XDA II.
I use the PPCTechs ones I bought from Expansys. I especially like them because they have a matt rather than gloss finish and so don't cause as many reflections (the light scatters more). I also find that these are very easy to stickon without getting air bubbles.
One thing I have noticed is that on the XDA 2 the screen protector misses about 1.5mm of screen on the width, which is hardly noticable, but it works fine and this may be because of the way I applied it too close to one side.
I certainly would reccomend them (althought they are a bit pricy for what is effectively a piece of sticky back plastic)
Thanks Rudegar where did you get your's from ? Cheers John

well
www.pdashoppen.dk
but i'm sure you can get it cheaper from a
closer store with a lower vat
also i have ordered it but havent gottten it yet
seems they have issues getting it
which is good i think because my xda1 is currently stolen
and when the insurance pay me a bit i'm buying a xda2
so i would be in my best intrest if the xda1 screenprotector dont
get here untill i can change the order to a xda2 version
Here is the best what I used up to now:
http://www.pdascreenprotectors.com/
For XDA II you need HP iPAQ1940 model
Thank you I will check this out. I assume they ship to the UK? John
They are in Canada, but I am sure they do deliver to UK. Who wants to loose market?
This is the best screen protector that I've ever used!
I have not tried the XDA2 version but I used one on my Sony Ericsson P800 and it was very easy to install and since it's rugged and not floppy and flimsy like the rest it installs without bubbles and you can remove it, clean it and put it back on the device.
The screen preserves it's natural shine and colors, brightness and contrast remain as if you where not using any protector at all.
I loved the feel of the protector, it's not dull and it does not feel like paper, in fact it's it feels very slippery to the tip of the stylus.
May sound expensive, but they last very very long!
Here's the link: http://www.overlayplus.com/pda.asp#xda
Here's the specs:
Gloss finish
Our gloss finished LCD protective filter enhances color reproducibility and image sharpening by transfering more light and makes the screen brightly colored. Other filters with anti glare feature make use of diffused reflection instead to eliminate reflection. These sometimes cause lower color reproducibility which may result with a dull monochromic coloration
UV cut and 90% light transmittance
Our filters reduce the strain on your eyes by blocking 99% of ultraviolet rays radiated from LCD screens. In addition, our filters allow 90% of light transmition while protecting the LCD screen from degradation as a result of strong sunlight and other natural lights.
High Scratch Resistance.
Easy to apply
It is removable, durable,reusable and washable.

Thanks Rayan this was very appreciated. I have ordered some and I'll wait and see what they are like....Thanks again John

The screen protectors from pdascreenprotectors.com are very similar. Extremely scratch resistant, and impossible to see if you install them properly.
I've always used the Expansys ones which are cheap as chips and do the job admirably.

I'm using it too....cool...its practically Invisible and smooth...but will get very thin scratches after a while...Martin Fields Rocks
I was using Brando for my Ipaq and its is scratch proof but the screen is slightly yellowish...dun like it so much....but it was the best then..
IMHO:THe best is Brando.
http://shop.brando.com.hk/index.php
Tomorrow,i'll receive O2's protectors and Brando for my qtec 2020,and i'll review them,and tell who is the best :arrow:
i also used brando on my xda 1 and now have one on my xda 2
I have been using the boxwave protector and it is excellent
www.boxwave.com
Guys, if you are still using brando then you wanna try something like the G2s but definetly better...try Martin Fields...
They ROCK!
I know we had Brando Vs G2s a while back...but then Martin Fields come out with this protector and its best now....you wont regret it.
problem with a post like this i suppose is that
most people have only really used one brand of screenprotector
and if they are happy with it they are likely to feel that it's the best
got 02's protectors-wanna say,that they are not good.
I was looking to pick up some Screen Protectors for my Tilt and I noticed there are normal ones, and others that specify Anti Glare.
I was just wondering, do the Anti Glare ones make a noticeable differance when used in Daylight? I was using the GPS the other day in the car and I could see the screen but it does get pretty washed out when the sun is low.
Yes They Do
I have an anti glare type screen protector on my Garmin iQue M4. Works pretty well. Big difference between that and a clear protector.
I plan on ordering one for my Tytn II this week. Check out Pocket PC Techs. I think the website is PPCtechs.com or something. Much better than the Body Guardz I tried before.
the anti glare ones are dull in finish (usually) and take away from the great screen that the Tilt was given. I use the crystal clear protectors because I get the same clarity as if it was not there. Also, it protects the touchscreen from key scratches, banks, dings....

I figured the matte finish would cut back on the Picture Quality a bit, but the anti glare ones seem to go on like a static cling window decal. You can remove, wash, and reuse them over and over. That being the case, I would probably only use it when I am going on road trips and I know I will need the GPS.
I am going to get some normal ones as well for everyday use.

I think it's boxwave that will sell you 1 of each. AS for the whole wash and put it back on, I've never got them to do that. Usually by the time I'm ready to wash it, it's so worn out in the upper right corner or where the "s" or "a' keys on the pop up keyboard is, I usually replace instead of wash...
I've got both the high gloss and anti-glare protectors from Javoscreen. I purchased them for about 10 each on amazon. They fit perfect and seem to do an amazing job. I ordered the wrong size of each accidently the first time, which was OK because it gave me practice in getting this things on. If you actually do what the very brief instructions say, they go on to where you honestly have no idea anything was done at all.
They win my vote!
I recommend The Ultra-Clear Screen Protector from www.pdair.com (and while you are at it, get one of their cases as they are nice and allow you to use the keyboard in the case). I've been a very happy customer of theirs (free shipping from China) and have used their case and screen protectors on my 8125 (wizard). The screen protector lasts about 4 to 6 months for me.
I just put an order in with them for a new case and screen protector for an AT&T Tilt as I'm soon to be joining you guys (Tilt is on backorder though so having to wait...).

I've used the Boxwave crystal-clear protectors on all my last devices, with the Tilt/Kaiser I decided to try the anti-glare version from Boxwave instead. I wish I had stuck with the crystal-clear, they are MUCH nicer. I do like the feel of the textured anti-glare, but I see no significant glare improvement and the loss of clarity is obvious. I'd trade some clarity for glare reduction but trading clarity for nothing is the pits
Re: washing and re-applying. BTDT - it's a ROYAL pain. Oh the wash and re-apply is easy enough, but getting the protector clean enough that there are no spots left onscreen is [email protected] near impossible in my experience.

Best bet would probably be to rinse it with distilled water or saline (contact lense solution would probably work for that matter) and then dry it with a microfiber cloth.
I have the anti-glare from Boxwave....and I have polarized sunglasses. If there is light is at all on the screen (not the backlight) whilst I am driving, i can't see a thing on the screen. Even with the backlight on full.
I think I'll switch to the clear ones.
I picked up a 3 pack of these:
http://www.handhelditems.com/samsun...atte-finishing-screen-protector-p-151910.html
So far it's really nice - easy to apply without bubbles, cut out for webcam/light sensor, and a nice anti-glare finish with a good texture to it.
-Dan
Thanks for the link Dan. These look nice and good price too.
Do you notice if they add any delay or stutter to the touch sensitive actions (scrolling, typing, etc)?
It's been awhile since I've used a screen protector, but fingerprints just seem so much more visible on the Tab.

Great find man. Just ordered one myself.
most important info for me would be how "tacky" it feels. I just love the smooth gliding that occurs with the naked glass and have yet to find a screen protector even half as smooth. Who knows, maybe I just have spiderman hands.
Ordered one too. I hope they go on with static vs. wet....
Sent from my Sprint Galaxy Tab
Awesome find! A quick check on retailmenot.com found a coupon code galaxytab20 for 20% off these. Site says this code was supposed to have expired on 11/30, but I am still seeing the discount right now. They have a good deal on both the clear and matte, so picking up a 3 pack of each.
The coupon knocks off the shipping costs pretty much, bringing the total to just under $18. Not bad for six sheets, if you ask me. T-mo sells ONE for $15, haha.
My only problem is fingerprints.
Tell me, does any of these screen protectors really, really work?
I'm very skeptic.
Nice find on the coupon code stefvan2k1!
The feel on these is nice.. I feel that there's less drag with the slight texture on these than on the glass alone (maybe it's just my most hands )
There's definitely a reduction in finger prints with one of these on, I was wiping my screen constantly before and hardly do now.

I just order 12 non-glare ones and 2 silicone cases. I have the expensive anti-glare protector that I got at T-Mobile and AT&T (Casemate) and the non-glare is awesome, I hardly ever wipe the screen the screen.
Thank for the coupon code!
Holy ****, they want $20 to ship a 3-pack from California to Vancouver Canada via USPS. To put that in context, Phantomskinz charged me $2.75 to ship a similar sized full body appliqué from Phoenix. Or to further put it in perspective, Zenus charged me less to ship my Color Edge case, from freaking Korea.
They ain't getting my business, they're running the old "shipping charge for profit" scam.
i got 3 anti-glare and 3 clear from ebay for $7 shipped for each set

the anti-glare is ok but i've had a anti glare on my ipad since the beginning and the tab looks amazing with it being clear. Good thing to buy extra since it is annoying when dust or any thing get on the tab while installing and tape and patience isn't enough lol
alignment on the top and bottoms aren't perfect but if u eye it right you can give enough spacing on each side at least the corners are round and not jagged and with a gel case on the back that wraps to the front, it covers up the extra 2mm or less that the protector doesn't fully cover.
all in all for the price well worth it.
I would like to try these.... but I am picky about my protectors and cases... I assume they are decent? The low price scares me, hahaha.... so that being said, if I am going to order that case and screen protectors....
I might get something for my samsung focus off that site also? Any suggestions for the same combo but smaller?
The Galaxy Tab screen is Gorilla Glass, do you really need a screen protector? I imagine any force that would scratch or chip GG is going to tear a plastic screen protector.

It's not really for protection, but rather to cut glare and fingerprints/smudging.

Can't believe AT&T dares selling theirs at $29..........
Gorilla Glass can be scratched. Some people have attested to that. BEcause it isnt indestructable, I prefer to use a protector. I got an Amzer protector from Anazon that is truly anti glare and def leaves no prints... but I will admit I prefer the feel and clarity of glass
I got my Galaxy Tab with SGP Ultra Oleophobic Clear type screen protector.
I didn't go for those anti-glare/finger print MATTE type protector, because to me they actually degrading
the screen sharpness, brightness and also color quality, which also mean degrading your overall
viewing pleasure that not only on Galalxy Tab but also on any devices.
Tested matte protector before on my old cellphones in the past years, they only making me frustrate,
low on mood or feeling regrets whenever I used my cellphones to watch video, pictures and even on phone idling screen.
You know, just like the LED/LCD or Plasma TV nowaday they're all on glossy surface which reproduces great sharpness, color and brightness.
All in all glossy surface = Great screen/picture/video quality.
Fingerprint, oily screen? Not a problem to me. Just wipe it more often.
It is still much better than keep felling frustrate with low screen quality everytime.
Thanks for the link. Just got my galaxy tab today and already have lots of fingerprints and see glare as an issue. I also think the slightly textured, antiglare films are better to the touch but sometimes degrade the screens sharpness a bit. I think it's worth the tradeoff though.
Oh and the coupon code galaxytab20 also worked for me. I paid 13.94 for a 3 pack with 3-5 day shipping.
I was thinking about getting one but at 17 bucks I was hesitant. Does it actually make a difference? I'd only want it if it makes reading in sunlight pretty bearable.
The display model in the store by me had one on.
It looked like it did a good job of cutting down the glare- and would be good for reading outside.
I bought one but haven't put it on yet...
Bought the screen protectors. They work well, cut down a lot of the glare, not just from outside light but inadvertent glare from other light sources as well. Use some windex, just a few drops on the screen itself and a few on the sticky side and it goes on very easy, bubbles are easy to get out. Let it sit over night to cure and you should be happy with it. BTW there wasn't an alternative at the time, as soon as stealthguards comes out with theirs I will buy that one.
Same here, I bought the one at Barnes and Noble and it has been working great. I actually read 10-15 pages outside yesterday in the sunlight with lots of snow reflecting light. I had the brightness up all the way but I could read everything just fine
Picked them up also. It does a pretty good job cutting down the glare and lessing the finger prints on the screen.
Also just an FYI: B&N will install it for you at no charge when you buy it. If they mess up the installation they will replace the protectors (there are 2 in each pack), at least that is what I was told by the employee who put mine on.
Have the B&N anti glare protector. Makes the screen a tiny bit darker & on solid white screen I see a very slight effect on the quality. It's a slight sparkle effect, but I have to emphasize slight. hat's with brightness almost at min. Reminds me of the Pandigital Novel screen, but not as severe. That said, I am leaving mine on for protection & because I like the more slippery feel compared to a naked screen. BTW Not all protectors have the same feel. I had a Zagg IS protector on my phone & it had a more rubbery, sticky feel. Not very conducive to finger sliding. The B&N feels much harder.
Cheers,
kev
i have them as well. if you don't prefer a matte type finish, don't get it. but it does cut down on glare.
I also have the B&N screen protector and I couldn't imagine using my nook without it. I see a ton of fingerprints on the screen that make me glad I have the protector. Its not too sticky either, my finger hardly meets any resistance. However, I immediately applied the protector after unboxing my nook so I don't know what the original screen felt like.
I bought a 3 pack of anti glare on eBay for about $12 shipped.
Works like it should and install is easy =]
I bought a $6 one on ebay and it blows. I'm sure it is partly my fault for not putting it on right. Anyway, will probably suck it up and go to B&N and have them put it on.

link? how are they? does your finger glide nice?
Quick question about the B&N Anti glare screens - others i have used, really blur the screen; do the B&N ones have any major loss of sharpness? With this beautiful screen, i would love to protect it without hindering it..
Unfortunately that's the nature of anti-glare. For me it's just as sharp. The decrease is in colour vibrancy.
I usually get these protectors on flea-bay but i caved in and bought it @ the store & had them install it as well... Best $16 i've spent.. . i still have one left over form the 2 pack...
You also get a nice little black microfibre cloth with an 'n' logo on it....
I went to B&N today and picked up the Anti Glare and the Easel case. I just applied it today and I'm really happy with the application. I normally suck so much with screen protectors and I always apply them diagonally for some reason. But this time it went on right as rain cept for a few rather tiny hairs that I assume are from my dog XD
The matte effect keeps the screen much cleaner and it's really not bad at all. I personally prefer matte over glossy on a device that I'm not doing any image editting so a total A+ buy for me.
So far though seeing as I got the Nook Color by returning a gift and then paying 20 bucks. I've spent about 76 dollars for this NC. 16 for the Screen protector, 40 for the case and the original 20, the accessories are rather steep... I have a feeling that this was B&N's business model though XD
I'll probably pick them up next week when I'm back at school (My major buildings is connected to a b&n)
I wasa sceptic about the screen protector b hut itg was worth every penny just to get rid of the finger prints on the screen. I thought thatI would give up on the nook but the anti glare j protector has me soldI agree Best $16 dollarso have ever spent on an accessory.

Okay so I cheaped out and bought a matte screen protector off ebay for 2 bucks for a 2 pack. Not surprisingly the screen protector itself feels very good to the touch, but it results in such a grainy image and just ruins it. I might just get a glossy screen protector instead from the same seller, those work just fine as I've been using one for my phone that works great. But I was just wondering if there are any cheap matte protectors that result in a good clear image that aren't too expensive. Or any glossy ones that aren't fingerprint magnets?

Not cheap, but the Steinheil SGP UF has zero impact on the image, to my eyes. Think Vizio 55" HD Television Screen: It's "Matte" but the image looks great (Or any "Matte" LCD Monitor for a computer, etc...).

Yea my SGP Steinheil UF matte looks great. I love it. No fingerprints or tacky gamer fingers or reflection glare.

I use the CrazyOnDigital matte and I think it looks really good for a matte protector.
I haven't compared SGP with BodyGuardz so I can't say which one is better, but I've written a review on the BG screen protector:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839108
See whichever one best suits you. They might just be the same in function and quality.
I just ordered the one linked above from amazon. I have never gotten an SGP product that I was dissatisfied with.
Trying to read on my nexus 7 with the backlight turned down is difficult due to glare from the shiny screen, so I hope this helps with that.

Regardless of which product you get, if its from a reputable company the screen protector will definitely improve your screen. Once i put mine on, I stated enjoying me device even more. It can be used comfortably in many situations.
I too can vouch for the SGP UF screen protector. Costed $30 but well worth it. The screen protector surface is a little "grainy" at first but after a few days it feels a lot smoother and no actually prefer the feel over the naked screen. The screen doesn't look grainy but there is a slight difference in how it looks.

I ordered clear amFilm screen protectors, but received anti-glare instead (by mistake). Very well priced, perfect fit, excellent quality, looks great when used outdoors and feels nice after a couple of days usage. However, the screen looks awful indoors, colors are too diffused and pixels look blurry.
Wouldn't recommend this product, unless you're short on budget.

totally agree with you. I took mine off because I didn't like the way it lessened the clarity indoors.
heh kinda sounds like the ebay one I bought. Oh well. $20 for a screen protector is way too steep for me. I bought a Zagg one for the HP touchpad for $15 last year and it really isn't all that great. It makes the screen feel worse and it's a dust and fingerprint magnet (moreso than the screen itself). Oddly enough the cheapo glossy ebay protector I bought for my phone is doing great for a dollar. I figure I would just get an ebay glossy one for the nexus 7 as well for cheap. Shame though, I really like the matte feel and look but cheapness has it's price.
