Hi,
I've been using my xda for about a month now and have noticed it hard to keep the screen clean, it seems to be very greasy etc... Has anyone invested in a screen protector for this problem or is it not really worth it?
Also cause i have only had mine a month with limited use, has anyone who has owed this phone longer noticed it gets scratched from the pen etc after longer periods of time...?
I know not important questions but just something i've been wondering none the less. Thanks
Got a brando one
I wanted to ditch the case (as it's pants) so I got a brando screen protector. It was a real faff to fit and I still haven't got it a) square or b) without loads of [email protected] under it, but it does its job, it seems to be sensitive enough and I (probably) am too ham-fisted to judge how difficult it is to fit the thing.
Hope that helps.
I've been told the Martin Whatsisname Screen Protectors are really good.
I'm thinking about getting one of these.
Do they leave any marks when you peel them off afterwards? From the glue and stuff?
Hi Tom
They don't use any glue, so you can just peel them off with no problem.
They cling to the screen like clingfilm.
nothing else than brando! have used it on all of my previous devices .. just no comparison to the cheap ones on ebay ...
I would say screen protector is a must for me...I'm too lazy to pull out the stylus every time....a screen protector will allow me to tap with my fingers, nails.....or even a pen....in fact, I put a protector on almost every mobile phones, my previous PPC....
Fair enough, but at £8.50+ its a rip off!!! for a bit of plastic that cost 0.05p to make, they're laughing all the way to the bank....
Supply & Demand
Maybe. It's a quality product and it's still a lot cheaper than a new screen...
You pays yer money.
Maybe but im just not convinced, how can you decribe a bit of platic as a "quality product"? I have heard they are extreemly hard to fit properly without getting finger prints on them etc and you get air bubbles and it is really annoying if you even leave a few specs of dust underneath it...?
No one round the office here seems to bother with them. I dont expect with any device for the screen to remain untouched forever, i think it just comes down to normal wear and tear, as with everything. Just my views anyway, need to hear more about these things before i had over best part of £10.
I have seen a Martin Fields one and someone on here said they were good. Is it easy to notice its there if you have one installed?
I have bought some via ebay from screenprotector24 at £1.99 for 6 plus P&P. There was also a buy 2 get 1 free offer on too. I have never been a fan of screen protectors but I agree that with the Mini-S it is verging on essential.
I am more than happy with the quality of the ones I received.
Hope that helps someone.
Regards,
White.
I've been looking for some on ebay, what did you type in to search and find those? can you link me?
Hi,
Sorry, I'm at work and barred from ebay. www.screenprotector24.de may well work if I recall correctly.

Brando screen protectors
Just because something's made of plastic doesn't mean it isn't quality. After all look at Pamela Anderson! (Sorry).
The Brando one I got is doing its job. Before I had the screen protector dirt would pile up and I'd be cleaning it 3 or 4 times a day. Now I don't have to. I was worried the screen would get damaged. I don't have to worry what I use on the screen or shoving it in my pocket.
Yes, you can tell it's on if you look. It looks like you've left the manufacturers sheet on but without a tab to remove it if it catches the light. Straight on, you'd be hard pressed to know it's there - honest.
I haven't seen the cheapo ones myself, I went on recomendations on forums from people who had more experience.
Also, Brando service is outstanding in my experience.
Right ok, i am thinking of getting one just for peace of mind. All i can find is Martin Philips ones on UK sites... Where can i find a decent priced Brando one on a UK site for a 02 xdx mini s? Can someone name a shop or link me etc?
Thanks
Go straight to the source!
I bought mine direct from the Brando site in Hong Kong... http://shop.brando.com.hk/screenprotector.php. It arrived within 6 days
I had the antireflective one on my old XDA2, but these ultra glossy ones are MUCH better. It was a fiddle to fit, but I honestly can't that it's there other than by looking for the edge. I've tried this a few times and I find the following procedure works well.
First off, you need to find as dust free an environment as possible. Choose a room that doesn't have any carpet, or fabric in it if you can(cushions curtains etc). Boil a kettle, and make the room a bit steamy. When the steam clears, it should take some of the dust with it.
The trick to avoiding dust is to be prepared. Get a good lint free cloth (lens microfibre cloth worked well for me) and a blower brush - small rubber bulb with a nozzle. Also keep some masking tape ready. Finally you will need a bright light - ideally a spot light, or if you've got low fluorescent lights under over your kitchen work tops, they are ideal. Wear latex gloves if you have any (you can usually get packs of 20 from poundland)
Stick some masking tape to the your worksurface, folding it back on itself, so that the sticky side is facing up. Use several strips so that you have an area two or three times the size of your screen.
Spend a few minutes polishing with the lint free cloth, and then set the phone down, face up, well illuminated (from above) and switched off!. Blow off all the remaining dust with the blower - make sure that no dust is stuck (might require more polishing) at this stage you have two hands free - in a minute you won't! Dont worry if some dust starts to settle back on the screen at this stage - it will be loose, and you can blow it off in a minute.
Next step - take the screen protector, and peel off the backing two thirds of the way. Keep the 'sticky' side face down so dust doesn't settle on it. It's helpful if you can crease the backing slightly as it's quite springy and tends to get in the way a bit. Be careful not to touch the exposed side though. If you're right handed you'll want the screen protector in your right hand at this moment.
The next bit, you might need to repeat a few times until you get it right...
Blow the last bits of dust off the screen (do NOT use your mouth - you will spit all over the screen). Line up the most exposed end of the protector - its a very precise fit, the edges will touch both sides, and the end should be lined up exactly with the end of the screen. If you push the protector under the plastic above the screen it will be short at the other end. You might need to lift and reposition a few times to get this right. Once you have placed the exposed end, put a finger on top and check the alignment. Now check for any dust. You might be able to blow one or two bits off, but if there is more than that, you need to lift off the protector, press it down onto the upturned tape to get rid of any dust, blow the dust of the screen and try again. The dust sticks to the tape MUCH better than the screen, and will not leave any residue on the Brando protector, so you can do this quite a few times if necessary.
The important thing here is not to panic. You will get dust, and will need to go round the loop a few times, but as you'll be prepared, there will be no problem. Once the protector is lined up, the screen is (temporarily) dust free and there are no bubbles (phew!) carefully remove the last of the backing film and holding the edges very lightly between your fingers (gloves help here) lay the last bit removing any bubbles. Once down, it is hard to get the protector off without damaging the edge so only do the last bit once you're sure there is no dust/bubbles.
Remove the front sheet and polish. With any luck, you should hardly be able to tell that the screen protector is there!
Thanks for those really comprehensive instructions! I'm going to order one from the Brando site today and will pick up the blower and lint-free cloth etc from Jessops (camera shop) this weekend.
Martin Fields overlay plus Question
Nice one on such detailed instructions!
I order a Martin Fields over lay plus today, they seem to have good reviews everywhere i have looked. They are slightly adhesive though, but as this is a "gentle silicon based glue" (so i hear) i think that means it will be fine on the screen.
Has anyone had experience on using these and what the screen is like after you remove them, any residue etc left afterwards? How long will it last roughly?
Thanks for any help guys!
I haven't tried this, but you could probably save yourself the cost of a blower brush by using a bike pump or better still an airbed footpump (you can use that one handed).
tom99, if you get a Martin Fields protector (or any other sort that uses adhesive) I'm not sure that its safe to use masking tape to clean it. The Brando ones stick to the screen electostatically, so its safe to clean them with tape (the instructions that come with it recommend scotch tape). If the instructions you get with your Martin Fields protector don't mention cleaning with tape, then I would miss out that step. Can you add a comment to this thread when you get it (or anyone else that has used a MF protector)? It might help others decide which protector to go for.
I am in the market for a case for my k-jam does anyone have an aluminium case it looks from the sites that the front is totally clear is this a type of plastic or is it just open, if its plastic this seems perfect for what i want, i hate screen protectors but dont want my greesy ear marks on the actual device screen
Anyone confirm this for me
Thanks

Hi,
I've ordered a aluminium case from PDAir. The front contains a plastic window so your tft screen is safe. Alle buttons can be used normally while the wizard is in the case. Have a look at:
http://www.pdair.com/scripts/main/viewitem_v2.php?itemid=2196&pdaid=194
to find more information. And by the way shipping is for free.
Nico[/url]
Once you recieve it can you please let us know how much it adds to the length, width and height of the wizard?
hey,
i've had this for the last coupla weeks and let me tell you... it's a lifesaver!
i have dropped my precious kjam only once while it was in the case (on marble, too!) and it was saved.
if you love yours, get one of these. i don't trust a leather case as much.
ciao!
hey bartgomes and is it possible to keep carrying wizard in your pocket? i keep mine there and dont use this horizontal case that comes with it. I mean does it really increase size so it becomes uncomfortable?
regards
i also have one of the pdair aluminium cases and can highly recommend.
when in the case the dimensions are L-111mm,W-65mm and D-29mm.
it gives you access to all the buttons(except top 2 soft keys;IE and mail on mini s),sd card slot,stylus,usb port,headphones and the camera lens has a cut out.
its looks very smart and fits in your pocket a lot better than "the old ladies purse" that it comes with.
:lol:
got mine off ebay last week from hong kong took about a week to arrive only £13.69. bargain worth every penny.
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/IN-Technology-Co
this is his shop but i cant see any more listed at the moment.
Try this ebay shop for Pdair cases for K-JAM
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pda-Gear
and do a search for K-JAM .. at least they are UK based??

I have just bought one of these, and they come with a free screen protector.
All for just under £14.
Sweet.
Yes it is..
It simply doesnt work.
Its too thick. Because the screen is so large/flush, the sides dont stick down properly, further more it took me 15 mins to figure out that the top of the protector doesnt have a protective layer of plastic that peels off.. only the bottom.
Basicly I have made a dogs dinner of it and I only recieved my HD today! Tomorrow afternoon I have to go to tottenham court road, pay £10 to have a Brando one applied properly...
I had no issues putting mine on..... and it doesn't seem to effect the use of the screen.
Granted, it's not as good as the Brando's you mention but I'll stay with it for the time being.

Ahh the one by Brando from Inkindo or something?
I was looking at that earlier. Brando UltraClear is very good from past experience. Do update us as to how good the one for the Touch HD is would you?

dont you find that odd? all the other HTC supplied protectors, eg with the original Touch and the Touch Diamond had a peelable bit of plastic on the front. This one seems really low quality and it pisses me off that I have to enjoy my first day with the HD with dust and air bubbles/blotches under the protector... and shell out £10 to have a proper one put on

yes, Inkino will supply and apply a Brando ultraclear for me for £10. At least I know someone will put it on properly, air bubble and dust free.
The one supplied with the HD is simply terrible. Its too thick, so the sides easily lift up. there is no protective plastic layer on the top of the protector, so be VERY CAREFUL when flattening it with a credit card.
It's a bit of a pain to apply...
The cut out is actually the perfect size to fit, maybe a little to perfect. Many screen protector I've used in the past are about a mm smaller so it's easy to remove and apply. Let me explain... The HD has tiny ridges which is ever so slightly raised on the whole perimeter. So unless you fit it perfectly you'll find nice elongated air bubble on the edge. After a few attempts it's good now but managed to catch a tiny dust particle underneath which again causes air bubbles. lol
In the past I have found Expert Shield to be extremely good. Even tiny dust particles or air bubbles just disappear... Uses some suction technology. lol
Hey, can you please tell me which Tottenham Ct Rd shop I should go to buy and let them apply for a tenner?

Looks like it's Inkino looking above. I'm in same boat can't relax looking at the dust and air bubbles on the screen. I've washed it twice in desperation but still no go.

I dont know if they actually have them in .. probably do, I will call tomorrow morning. I only recieved my HD this evening. Not even finished charging the battery yet. They installed my Diamond's protector for me perfectly.
I've tried everything with the supplied protector and am sick of it.
They are in between TCR and Goodge St station
Many thanks guys!

Tricks them all and will be the first to get there.
LOL, and I thought that I was a mess putting screen protectors...
I must say that I have a little, but not enough, experience putting screen protectors. I normally miss the first attempt and that is what happened. This time I missed a little bit to one of the sides. I kept cool, lift a bit the protector and tried one more time.
99% perfect the 2nd time!! It fitted 100% across the screen, inside the whole edge, and I only have two little air spots, none inside the 3.8" screen area.
I wonder how some people say that this protector is very bad or it doesn't fit the screen correctly. This is not a brando one, but sure it's a good one. I can compare to the one from brando that I got to my S200
i also attest that the protector is PERFECT Fit. i have not problems with it so far. it took me 3 times to get it right. i would suggest the following in general:
instead of using fingers to hold the screen protector, use the peeled off portion to "hold" one of the corners -> ie. stick a TINY corner of the protector onto the peeled off plastic, this way you have a "handle" to lift the protector off should you mis-align it. also it doesn't get finger prints onto the stickie side, and it also keep the stickiness after a few tries.

I agree with you. I'm pretty good at putting protectors on, but this was a real pain. I think I refitted it 6 times and even then had to use tape to remove lint and such 3 or 4 times. It does fit too well. Ended up buying a Brando, but didn't get the Ultra-clear Picked the anti-glare one and fitted it in one go. But am not happy with the dull screen, so have ordered an ultra-clear.
(I will just be asking about the clear film types)
So its been a while since people have bought up different kinds of screen/body protectors - any long term reviews now?
I am specficially looking for the best one to just cover my screen and maybe the part below that. I have the euro matte back which I feel resists scratches well enough on its own.
Two criteria:
1) fit well. None of this invisible shield "kinda fits ok" stuff
2) be the hard-type material (like the original HTC protector it comes with) for ease of stylus use.
thx much!
I heard this works great,
http://www.martinfields.com/US/dis_product.asp?model=HTC_ProTouch&modeln=Touch Pro&prod_type=screen
This will be my next purchase.
I'm still using the one that came with my Fuze. Still looks good
mine is getting pretty roughed up as of late - i ordered the martin fields so hopefully that works out.
EXiM
I highly recoment the EXiM screne protector (go for the ultra clear variety) I've used one on my DSLR for years with no faults and i have had one on my touch pro for a few months now and it's still scratch free and stylus friendly. a bit more pricey than other screen protectors but it's worth it.
I have purchased the martin fields protector and using it for about 2 months.
I'm trying to keep my Touch Pro at his case at all times exept when using it.
I must say it's not as good or as durable as it's were advised.
After 2 month the screen protector is filled with scratches!!! and it's mentioned in there site that it's high scratch resistance???
hmm that sucks dotanfe - ill post up how mine handles it.. in 2 months
Brando Workshop
I've gone through a few; factory protector, Ghost-Armor, case-Mate privacy screen and now the Brando Workshop Ultra-Clear. Factory protector was improperly cut, the Ghost-Armor was too thick and had bad orange peel, the privacy screen was way too thick and dark.....I've used the Brando for a month now and am very happy. The protector is hard, crystal clear and thin gauge. It is hard to tell there is a protector on the phone. Ordering is easy but they come out of Hong Kong so it took me a couple weeks to get it. Check it out.....
http://shop.brando.com.hk/index.php
well i got and installed the martin fields protector.
Pros:
-Super easy to put on
-Very clear (no orange peel)
-Feels very smooth, finger and stylus scrolling works great on it.
Cons:
-kinda spendy
-not a 100% perfect fit. There is a tiny gap on the side, the avg user probably won't notice but gaps = dirt/dust traps in the future.
-the edges of the protector seems "rough" and doesn't have a clean look & feel to it vs the stock protector. It has a dirty scuffed up look to it as well.
7/10
i got the martin field's when i first got my touch pro last Oct
i went to their office and they applied it for me very nicely (singapore office)
however i peel it off after awhile as scratches start to appear
the quality of martin field's is not as good as it used to be...
My martin fields protector is ALREADY scratched up - it hasn;t even been put through the paces yet. The original HTC protector lasted way longer than this POS did. Heck I don't even carry keys or anything else in the same pocket I do my phone.
Back to the drawin' board
i'll be trying the EXiM or Brando protector next.
thx for the suggestions, hope this experience of mine saves someone the trouble since I didn't listen to the warnings myself
Have been extremely happy with the screen protector provided with my Fuze: has been mounted since mid-Nov and barely looks used (Innocase top shell covers ragged edge that was lifted up prior to install of said Innocase).
Don't play games very often, but do take notes using FITALY & therefore expected lower portion of cover to show significant signs of wear by now.
Have an Exim "Ultra Clear Pro" standing by - and was looking forward to having an excuse to mount it, as have another use for part of the existing protector - but looks like it will be a while before it HAS to go on....
??: Wonder if we can BUY a Protector from AT&T that has same quality as the one that came in the package!?!

that would be nice, and if they would provide something to protect the lower button/wheel section then it would be perfect!
I'll be staying away from Martin fields then.
Also try Clarivue.

I bought some ebay ones. You know, the pack of 3 for $8 that comes with top and bottom part.
I only used top part as I have Ivisible Shield on rest of phone.
After a month of tons of use (I charge my phone a few times per day) I see no visible scratches.
Thing is awesome!

Same with my Martin Fields protector. Yesterday morning, I also just noticed that the bottom protection piece isn't even there any longer. Fell off at some point in the past (dunno when).
Ordered a 3 pack of generic ones for el cheapo, off of fleabay yesterday. Hopefully, they will work okay. Even if they scratch easily, at least I have 3 of 'em.
I been using the Brando for about 6 months, you can't even tell its there, no sratches on there,
had the martin fields one since i got my phone on release day for ATT. the only scratch i have is where i sometimes use my thumbnail to scroll tabs in TF3D....never had a problem with it like you folks have described.
My T-Mobile HD2 is in the mail - expect to get it Thursday. Sold my Fuze on ebay immediately after visiting the T-Mobile store. Have used Clarivues, Boxwaves but anyone have any experience with either on this phone - especially cutout and fit for the entire glass surface? Also anyone get either a Bodyguardz or InvisibleShield?
Zagg InvisibleShield is good.

I bought the crystal Boxwave screen protector and I like it. Even though on the website it says the screen is for the TMO version of the HD2, I have a feeling they're just shipping out the original HD2 screen protector; the screen protector is off by 1-2mm at the top. I don't mind though, the gap is negligible.
I have the full body invisishield on my HD2 and I use the stock rubber case that comes with the phone, and I really like it.
Things I've noticed:
The glass is a lot easier to clean as compared to the plastic cover.
The glass is easier (not lots, but noticeable) to slide your finger across.
There is a little more glare (once again, not a lot)
The awesome metal feel is gone (it would be gone if you had any cover, so really not an issue)
BUT! I had my iPhone 3G covered since day one and it is almost scratch free. You wouldn't know that it is almost 2 years old and lived in a pocket, so yeah. If you want to preserve your device and sell it in a couple of years as nearly perfect condition, I'd go for the full invisishield. If you want to have an awesome device that you'll probably just give to a little brother in a year, don't get the cover.
my 2 cents
p.s. just to make sure, I'm happy with my invisishield!
Im really happy with the INVISIBLEshield. had it on since 2nd week jan and really chuffed. Feels nice, seems to help with the screen sensitivity, but not enough to slow it down, and even though i dont use any case (full body zagg kit) there isn't even a faint scratch on it anywhere.
One corner has peeled away less than 1 millimeter where it slides into my pocket, BUT i mounted that corner badly anyway. (First panel applied)
Everywhere else its so snug it could be directly applied.
I have the screen sleeve provided by T-Mobile retailers... and the Body Glove transparent hard case w/ the kick stand on it.
But really, any screen protector will work out if put on correctly.
Thanks for the replies.
I contacted Martin Fields this afternoon and they were the most responsive. Actually measured their screen protectors and it is 1.5 or 2 mm too short for the Tmobile version - Based on measurements I took with micrometer they'll modify their specs and issue a full screen protector for the TMobile. Have used Clarivues (a little thick) and Boxwaves which I prefer - will see if they respond.
Honestly, in my experience the tmobile screen protectors sold at the stores have been awesome.
I have ghost armor (same if not better than invisible shield) on my blackberry, and they are good but still finger prints galore.
The tmobile ones sold in store are anti-smear. I clean my screen like after the whole day. It makes it a little bit fuzzy, and i mean a little like after you don't see your fingerprints after one use you'll love it and not even care.

I bought the InvisibleShield last night. Chose the cheap shipping, so I don't expect it in for a week or so.
In the meantime, I intend to try out the Saran Wrap® option that so many iPhone users have sworn by
I just ordered my full body protector from bestskinsever.com for $8 shipped. I have used it on my iphone, use it on my ipod touch, and laptop and I love it!

Honestly, in my experience the tmobile screen protectors sold at the stores have been awesome.
I have ghost armor (same if not better than invisible shield) on my blackberry, and they are good but still finger prints galore.
The tmobile ones sold in store are anti-smear. I clean my screen like after the whole day. It makes it a little bit fuzzy, and i mean a little like after you don't see your fingerprints after one use you'll love it and not even care.

I second that notion.
T-Mobile retail stores are always known for providing reliable products... at least from my location. My manager prides himself on that, so we do what we can to always have quality as opposed to quantity, especially when it comes to device accessories.
I put a skinomi skin on and love it, no bubbles, streaks, blemishes... lifetime guarantee as well. Fits perfect on my T-Mobile HD2
I bought the one from a Tmo store, I think it's the HTC branded one. It's real nice, although my screen protector does have scratches on it already from being in my pocket, but I'd rather have that than scratches on my actual screen.
