Screen protector

There came a screen protector with my Touch Dual, which works very well, i do not see any difference in using the protector or using the device without it. So anybody out there, who knows, where to get this specific protector?
Thanks in advance.
we
PS It is adhesive, which i like more than sticking it to the screen and never being able to remove it again

the one that came with mine is ok but I messed up by having some dust underneath so I've ordered a new one from here: http://www.martinfields.co.uk/dis_product.asp?model=HTC_DualTouch&modeln=Touch Dual&prod_type=screen
I've always used Martin Fields screen protectors, IMHO they're the best! plus they're ultra clear once you put them properly you can't tell

In all my excitement when I got the Touch Dual more than two weeks ago I completely overlooked the screen protector in the box Found it but still not applied it yet

Brando already delivers touch dual protectors too.

Screnn Protector Washable?
Hi..
Do you know if original screnn protector is Whashable?
Thanks

The orig. protector rocks.
I bought some from ebay and already dropped them into garbage.
Now i ordered one from martinfields and i hope this one works better for me ...
Any other experience?

i got 3 really cheap ones off ebay which are fantastic.
they're in 3 sections, you take one side off to reveal the sticky side then put it on the screen then pull the other side off to reveal the front face of the cover.
really good.

I don't know whether it's the best or not, but I had the same problem that you do.
I bought the protector from martinfields based on the recommendations in this thread, and must say that I like it better than the original one.
It is thinner, so it seems like you need less pressure to make the screen react when you press it.
I've only had it for a day, so I really can't say how durable it is...

Are the Martin Fields and Invisible Shields self adhesive?
I don't have to glue them on do I hehe
The one that came with mine I put it on properly but then I panicked slightly and thought "How do I get it back off!" so peeled one side up just to see if it would come off, then of course got all dust and crap under the edge so it looks skanky now thus want a new one.
I only managed to do that because it was slightly misaligned and a bit overlapped at the side of the screen though not enough to notice unless you looked very closely. So how do you get them off if they are put on perfectly? I know you could use a knife but you could scratch the screen and that defeats the purpose

Don't know about Martin Fields.
Go to link in above post to see Invisible Shield. If I remember correctly, they tell you how to do things on their site. I don't have one for the niki so can't tell you for sure, but have one on my ipod and it took awhile to get on, but well worth it.
Also, their customer support is very very good.

Use scotch tape. Just stick it on the face of the screen protector and lift. Simple as that.
Btw, I've recently swapped out my screen protector because I somehow got a scratch on it. Anyway, the sales recommended one that was matte finished (as oppose to glossy like most screen protectors). I have to say, it is so much better than the traditional glossy ones. The great part is the texture. It is so much smoother than regular ones. Great for sliding your finger across using Touchflo.
However, it does diminish your off-axis visual quality. But i suppose that doesn't really matter since you don't look at your screen off-axis much anyway. It may even be a plus since you might not want the person next to you to see what you're looking at...

That's a good idea! I never thought of that, I did see something on a website about using something sticky to remove it but I was thinking of blutak or something like that and thinking that it wouldn't work very well!
A bit of grit got on my screen and I scratched the protector with my stylus the other day, another reason to get a new one, but also a good reason for leaving the current one on!
Where do you get the matte ones from?

I'm in Hong Kong so I just picked it up from one of many independently owned techy shops. I didn't pay attention to what brand it was (i basically just paid the guy and he opened it up and stuck it on for me). The next time i head back there, i'll take note of the brand.

Invisible Shield
Just installed the I.S. (bought on ebay) on my Niki...
It's been a pain in the neck to install...
It's really hard to prevent small bubbles on the surfaces...
Maybe on a white ipod has a better look but on the Niki black finish you'll see them..they're really really small but sometimes in a large number: the overall effect is as a dirty and scratched Niki...
Bigger ones could rise passing from the front/back to the lateral sides, in particular near the big 4 rounds.
The hole for the hands-free speaker was totally missing!
When in hand you can feel the sharp edges corresponding to its thickness ...
The original protector is a little bit "softer"
But...
I can have it in my pocket with no additional thickness...
Right now I was using the silicon case, but it seemed that I was calling with a tv remote control...

I was just gonna buy an Invisible Shield *Thinks*
Thanks for the info ohyeahar I was thinking of going for the Invisible Shield but now might just go for a screen protector and some sort of leather case-age. Dunno

question on screen protectors.

which do you think is better:
phantom skinz or invisible shield?
i tried both and invis was cloudy looking. phantomz is great but it leaves dents and impressions that won't go away.
sorry if this is the wrong place to ask.

It's cool. I'm using Ghost Armor, and I love it.
Very protective and easy to see through. almost like nothing's there.

Just curious, but do you even need a screen protector? I've gone since the release date of the Hero until now and I have 0 scratches on my screen... it's pretty resilient glass they used

And when I got it, there was a special on the website for the Hero, like buy the whole case for the price of the screen protector.

yes you should have one and id recommend a body glove case as well. with the known dust issues, anything helps.

I had the invisible shield, put it on right as I unboxed the phone, it looked perfect. Starting peeling off about 2 months later, still has a nice fit on the screen but everything else is gone. Kinda mad I spent 30 bucks.

My friend got the ghost armor on his blackberry and i think its pretty good. I would recommend that, its a bit more pricey but well worth it.

Go to BoxWave.com
Look for the Clear Touch (anti-glare)
They make the screen look VERY black when off, yet allow you very clear access when on.....make sense?
Very protective....very hard.....custom fit.
I have been using since right before the TiLt.
This is NOT a flimsy screen protector.
And I have ZERO bubbles with this brand!
Thanks,
Bubba.

I have the invisble sheild full body kit...i dont use it if you need it PM me, 5 bucks

How the hell did you manage that? I am being way careful, and with a screen protector, I have a slight scratch on the screen... Aww good though.

I have some POS ebay $3 for 3 screen protector, which has a sticky side that loves dust. The outside is clear and has some "self healing" scratch removing stuff.
BTW I found that once the protective film is removed from the screen protector ( prior to applying) it collected fine particles of dust which caused bumps and little vacuoles. It has a high static attraction cover which Can be neutralized so the protector can be positioned and moved.
The way I did it was with windex. I sprayed and wiped/removed any clinging dust. Then shook off violently any windex, so only really small droplets were left. Placed the protector in position, which now slides with a firm push. Gently squeegeed off any windex with a towel at the edge of the screen, preventing any from going under it. The result is a bump free stuck on, reuseable dust protector.

I am using
8 gauge clear vinyl.
$2.99 a square yard from local JoAnn fabric. Works very nicely. For me has been better by far than the $20.99 invisishield crap bestbuy originally put on my phone. I do not have a cloudiness issue, and bubbles are easily worked out when first applying. 8 gauge is fairly thin, if you want something a little thicker you might go with the 10 or 12. 4 gauge was way to thin for my taste.

I've had my Hero since Day 1 and carry it in my pocket and there isn't a mark on the screen. I don't think you need a screen protector with this phone.

If I recall correctly, they'll replace it for free at one of their stores (probably in your local mall.) They told me they had a lifetime warranty so any time it peeled off they would replace it.

i got one of those cheap-o screen protectors from ebay. so far its working fine since i baby the hell out of the phone. That ghost armor is lookin really good i might just have to try it myself.

I put a invis-a-shield on my phone right off the bat and had it on for the first few months but in January it started pealing off then just vanished(fell out of pocket somewhere). The phone has gone 4 months sans screen protector and the screen looks brand new and is much slicker then with the protector on in terms of friction. The phone body is starting to show signs of wear, big chunk missing in the body near head phone jack from a 12' fall down the stairs and the end call button is stripped to just red.

Dazzling white vs Titanium Bronze

hello folks!
So I'm about to receive the titanium bronze Samsung galaxy tab s 8.4 and will have 14 days to make an exchange. I went to the store the other day and had a comparison with the texture of Titanium bronze vs dazzling white. So I made a little scratch test with my finger nails on the demos and the white can barely see any scratches being made while the bronze can definitely see scratch marks made. Despite this I was wondering what other pros/cons for these back covers have? I'm most likely am going to have a skin protection for the front/back of the tablet because I want to protect any scratch marks and finger prints in case. Does anyone know of any good skin protection out there? Is ZAGG any good? I'm also looking for book cases that can make the tablet stand at a 45 degree, cover the front and back for extra protection. I welcome all feedbacks and recommendations

I recommend the tempered glass screen protectors. I have one on mine. Just like the original screen.

I'm not able to scratch my back, what you using keys?
Tbh i think its pointless buying a nice tablet like this if all youre gonna do is completely cover it up and put another glass screen/protector in front of it. Making it look crap and spoiling the experience until you sell . Samsung could have done that themselves, but who would have bought it then?
Phones and covers yes, screen protectors no. In my experience screens dont get scratched/damaged unless you really abuse the device.
I have the Samsung simple cover and it compliments the tab s perfectly. Dont wanna hide that nice back.

I was able to make scratch marks that were apparent in the bronze and the scratches were easily visible if you were to take a real close look at it. If my nails can make a scratch mark out of it, i'd best be putting a screen protector on the back too : )

I beg to differ about using glass screen will make it look crap, im using a brando rounded edges tempered glass and it adds to the beauty, now it looks like a giant note for with glass screen tapered smoothly through the side. And i forgot it's even there. It would be easy/cheaper to replace a tempered glass rather than the whole digitizer when you got it scratched.
Also using a smart cover free from sammy when i bought minde. Serves its purpose.
On aother note, be carefull on thr faux metallic bronze side. It's so soft that a little bump with an edged object will leave its mark.

Thank god I thought I was the only person going crazy here because I definitely felt as if the titanium bronze's back cover was easy to make a mark on it(be it from scratch, smudge, etc). But I'm one of those fanatics where I need to first get a protector on the tablet before I even begin to use it haha. I've been seeing a lot of 'tempered glass screen protectors' than before, is it the best type of protector out there atm? Is it like in between glass and plastic? I've also had plastic screen protector or skin protector as some would call it, on my phone and have had no issues, no corner peels or as much finger prints to none, clear and see through but I do want to keep up to date of the current protection of phones/tablets. What are some benefits of the tempered glass protector have? All I really care about really are the smudges like finger prints, corner peels, no dust, no bubbles, scratch resistant of course and most importantly clear/see through.

I am the same way. I always have a screen protector ready for when I get a new phone or tablet. I like to keep my electronics in good shape. Have switched to the tempered screen protectors a while back and can definitely say it is well worth it. I use to alway buy square trade warranty for my phones but have stopped since using the tempered screen protectors. The screen is really the most valuable piece to protect. I can attest that the tempered glass really works. Both of my daughters have dropped their phones and the tempered screen protector shattered but the screen on the phone did not. Thus well worth the investment. A normal screen protector would have done nothing to absorb the impact. Anyway, I highly recommend them. Also, check reviews and different brands on Amazon. You don't have to spend an arm an a leg on these. I paid $8 for iCarez for my G3 and girls iPhones. Just as good as Zagg which people pay $40 - 50 dollars for. As far as the Galaxy tab S, I also added one due to the size of the tablet. I am not using a case since I have the matching keyboard. I have not had a tablet this large before so was definitely concerned about dropping it. Picked up the Skinomi tempered glass. A bit more at $23 but quite a bit larger screen as well.

Yeah, I was thinking of getting a tempered glass protector from Skinomi because of their life time replacement warranty : )
I made another thread discussing about the skin protections of Skinomi for the back covers.

Carbon fiber, Wood and Brushed... but unfortunately no reviews anywhere

I also picked up their clear back skin. Just got so can't comment on it yet. Again, this is the clear back. As mentioned, I have the matching keyboard so I am using this without a case on. I wanted to make sure the back at least had something on to prevent from potential scratches and dings. Not as good as standard case, but better than nothing at all.

Clear skin would be a good idea but I don't know if it has grid-like pattern that allows air bubbles to escape just like the wood/brushed/carbon skins have. But yeah, I guess i'll be the guinea pig to test it out, still debating carbon fiber/brushed. I'll write a review and show pics of it when I order it and have everything set up ready

Didn't know there are hardware differences between the two. I got myself a white Tab S because that's what was on sale at the moment. I'd buy it in any color other than pink.

Anybody installed some sort of proctector in the back?? Share experience.

Even though the back is glass and there is protection from external case, anyone installed a protector in the back (film, glass, or anything material)
Any brands or suggestions?
thanks a million.

I use this, but I also have a skin, and a case haha so probably a little overkill but I don't want to damage this thing. If I could wrap a pillow around it I would. https://m.aliexpress.com/s/item/32832315490.html?spm=a2g0n.search-cache.0.0.30c0f4f1MpT7WO#autostay

For the back, i know that there is lots of film ones. Some sites in other languages sell glass ones but it doesn't look trustworthy and there maybe shipping problems ..

Just trust the robots at dbrand. Best back skins around, look cool also!
Sent from my Galaxy Note8 using XDA Labs

I ordered the slickwraps horror series one, once i get it and apply it ill post pics

Yes Dbrand skin. Dragon skin

Well you asked and that's where I got mine, and had no issues, just like buying from eBay. I also have a skinomi full skin on it.

I installed a full body skinomi, good for protecting back from dust and sand particles that inevitably will get between the case and the back of the phone, these particles trapped this way cause a lot of damage

Agreed. Hated the way my note 3 looked after a case. Resale should be much easier with a near perfect phone.

Did u get a glass protector in front and fits in your case too?

No, because I have bad experiences in the past with cristal protectors that never fit really well with curved screens

2nd for the dbrand dragon skin. Also adds some friction for holding the phone without adding any thickness

I ordered 2 slickwraps Note 8 naked series for the back. One glossy and one Matte. They are regularly 15.95 each but they have a 50% off sale going now with the code Apocalypse so I bought both for 15 bucks to try them out.

Is the Glossy one completely transparent? The pics on website show a black tint which covers mirror shine. What about the sides and top & bottom?
Don't like the skinomi cuz u have to spray & spray.

The glossy is completely transparent. It's a thick plastic, though, and you need a ton of solution to get it on, etc. It only comes with the back pieces, they don't seem to have a kit for the Naked series.

"need solution" means you have to add the glue yourself? does it cover all the way to the edges?
I know Rhinoshield makes one, not glass, and it doesn't go all the way to the edges.

It goes all the way to the edges but it's not glue, its just a soap and water mix they give you in a spray bottle.

Thats the same way you apply the skinomi stuff, but their clear wraps are not transparent. I want the peel & stick type. I'll check in other places to see.
Thanks anyways

I got a wet applied screen protector for the back. I want to maintain the look of the back without covering it with a skin. This is the one I have and works perfectly with my Lumion case. (I imagine it would work with any case) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07516Y9B5/ref=crt_ewc_title_gw_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AZPYIARPTPBOT
For those without back protectors but use a case, the back will still get scratched easily. On my Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, the glass back had tiny scratches even if I kept the phone in a case all the time. Tiny dust particles still managed to get trapped between the glass back and the case. A back protector is a must if you want to maintain the pristine condition of the back glass.

Slickwraps plus spigen
Bought a slikwraps skin and a spigen clear case.
Slickwraps as usual is a pain in the butt to install and they always take 2+ days to ship the item from the moment you buy them but is till prefer their designs.
Spigen iv'e use them since my s6 and i always liked them, past spigen clear cases turn yellow after some time, i'm hoping this ones won't since it says they have improved the yellowish thing happening.

Protection For The Back Of The Second Screen

Has anyone found or tried and skins or screen protectors for the back of the second screen? I can only imagine how scratched it will get in my pocket.

Love to know this as well. Not sure of the thought process on this one.

We need something like this for the LG Velvet.

eBay look on there

Since the cover is basically just a solid piece of glass without any notches or anything, any "universal" screen protector of the correct size would work, I would think. The only thing you would want to account for is the slot at the top, so tempered glass might be out.
