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

"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 )

Screen Protector?

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!

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.

For all those who are looking for a full cover screen guard for your new beast try the ones below.I prefer them because they provide protection without spoiling the sexiness of the device.. Especially dedicated for those who don't like to use covers:fingers-crossed:

this is priced modest 3.99$, best bang for the buck.
can also be bought from www.xtremeguard.com
And for those want premium protection
ZAGG invisibleSHIELD™
No images are there in the site but they costs 24.99$ for all round protection.
Skinomi TechSkin™
these costs 19.95$
and offers good protection.
BodyGuardz UltraTough® Clear Skins
they costs $24.95 though provides precision cutting and quality and also two full sets are given.
PhantomSkinz
They also costs the same 24.95$ reviews yet to be seen...
i am also waiting for other manufacturers such as bestskinsever to roll out. Note 2 lovers please post your suggestions and user reviews of full cover screen guardsalso from other manufacturers so that i can add it to OP:good::victory:

Halleluja! ZAGG has done it again Last week i was looking at there Site withour success but at least they finally brought out there Shield for my loved Note2! It's as good as ordered Thanks for the hint!

Just on the screen protection part. In my experience the Xtremeguard quality was less than stellar. I've tried a few wet application urethane manufacturers and found the Xoskins were excellent with good customer support, but they are more expensive.

I did acknowledge that, but my point stands, I've had full body from Xtremeguards (various products) and I wouldn't buy from them again. Too many faults, poor fit, indents/marks/creases on protector, black dot contamination, guards fused together, leaking bottles in shipping and trimming slivers on edges. To name what I can remember off hand.

Bodyguardz have also released a duo pack. €25 for 2 complete body shields. They are very mich like zagg. I used their skin for my ipad 3. No complains!!

Thanks for the info, i am out of thanks today...

I'm thinking, why cover the back? If I scratch it 'that' badly, I'll buy a new back. Maybe even a new color for fun!
I'll probably get a screen protector. I had a Steinheil Crystal Clear on my OG EVO for over a year. When I removed the protector, it was still clear. I can't say that about the previous screen protector, which was yellowed after 1+ years of use.

Maybe you could buy a new back cover, but original ones with nfc should be expensive....
And always the chances are that you aint gonna it that bad are slim and when you admire the beast that small scratch would really be hurting...

I'm not a big fan of these on the Note or Note 2. The pen isn't as precise...
I used to use these skins though on my non touchscreen phones in the past.

No idea if it has any special coatings, but for me it's doing a great job at being scratch resistive.

You better keep your screen protection on. The screen gets scratched even by fabric, jeans etc. Realised that in 2 weeks after buying and my nano protector is on it like +1 year.

The back cover is more important though, it's a drop to the corner which will crack the screen everytime, the screen won't last long enough to worry about the scratches without a cover. So both would be good but no screen protector here, then again I don't have loads of pills in my pocket

I've bought them from a local seller in Turkey. First tried a couple of tempered glass screen protectors but the shape of edges were ruining them. So nano one doesn't cover the whole screen but sticks completely, feels more clean. It's like this:

True, Used the device w/o a cover for 2 weeks until I find a cool one, because seller didn't give my original leather one. Anyway don't mention our special business here and take a look at my covers, I like the cabron fibre looking one as you know:

Then you should keep it in a glass cabinet and only look at it once a day, no touching!
But it is slippery as an eel, as the Swedish saying goes, and both the screen and the ceramic bezel will crack on first corner drop.
Any back cover will also "cover it up", and the flip cover even protects the screen from scratches in your pocket.
The least bad choice, better than buying a new phone every few months at least.
