Hi everyone.
At the risk of being ridiculized I post here to ask if it would (anyhow) damage my screen if I buy a Palm screen protector and cut it down to Kaiser's screen dimensions and stick it. I messed up with mine and there are lots of bubbles and dust and dirty in mine.
And yes, I know it's better to buy a specific protector, but here where I live in South America, they don't even sell Kaiser's yet.
And else, would this dust that is adhered between the screen and the protector damage my device? Should take the protector out until I adquire another?
Thanks a lot.
Hello, It should work great for you to cut down the ones you have and use them. I have a Wing and I buy mine from a dollar store. They are made for Pocket PCs but I just cut them down and they work great. When they get scatched or dirty, I just change them.

how many of you guys are using screen protectors? im using one, but it keeps getting dirty every 2 weeks. im beginning to think if its even necessary to have one for my device.
It depends on what you mean by dirty. In a way you have answered your own question. If you didn't have a screen protector, your screen is potentially left open to abrasive scratches. My understanding is that once a screen is scratched, tough. It's much easier to replace a protector than a damaged screen.
I didn't realise how delicate screen protectors were when I applied the one that came with the MDA. I've just replaced my original thin protector with a Hightec one from durasec £7.95 from Ebay. They also do thinner ones for less. Like everything in life, you get what you pay for.
Bottom line is the standard motto. Prevention is better than cure.
I am using a Covertec one, and it is fine since a while (more then 2 month).
Boxwave
I'm very happy with the Boxwave clear protector.
I wouldnt go without my brando screen protector ... been using them since my P900 had no problems with dirt or scratches ..
Brando
I use Brando as well. It's the best.
I use 3M, is't 3M the best?
I'm using the brando ultra clear but the application was fudged up; for some reason there was already dust on the screen protector despite it still being seal :shock:. I peeled it off, start applying when I realized that it was leaving marks on the screen.
Washed it then reapplied and in the process, I managed to drop my cutter on it , blade first, and there's a small scratch on one corner.
Definitely going to have to have another go. With respect to clarity and responsiveness, I find it to be unresponsive if the application was poor but otherwise, suits me fine and nobody could tell it was applied except due to the fact that there's a scratch on it. Anyone got any tips? I washed with cool water and no detergents. Should I use any detergents?
what kinda protectors u guys use, i mean thin or hard. I had a belkin thin screen protector on my jam and it worked perfectly for more than a year, then i sodl the device and got the O2 XDA mini s, now i am looking for some decent screen protector.
what do u guys recommend, hard or thin?
This is probably heresy, but I have had my phone for 6 months and have never used a protector and there isn't one scratch. I travel about 80% a year for work to boot. But it usually travels in my pocket as opposed to a bag or something.
cool
i was waiting to hear that...6 months in your pocket and no scratch? thats pretty good..because i keep mine in my pocket all the time..if i ever throw it in a bag..i use the case it came with.
I just got a Martin Shields and love it. Took a little getting used to having to press a little harder, but it's great and I can't even tell it's on there.
by the way, how do I uninstall the old screen protector?
It has many scratchs over it and even more dust particles under it...
I'm using the BoxWave ClearTouch screen protector. I love it. I can barely tell it's on. I highly recommend it. It was kind of a pain to get on properly, but what screen protector isn't.
Guys, I need your help. When I bought my new HTC Touch Pro GSM it was staffed with 1 (!!!) original screen protector. And what you think? Of course, I did not apply it correctly, so I need another screen protector. I live in Russia, Moscow (so sorry me for my mistakes in English) and there is NO any screen protector which can be similar to original. I am totally f*cked up with any another screen protector which do not compare to device - I just cannot apply it normally.
So, guys, I need ORIGINAL SCREEN PROTECTOR FOR MY HTC TOUCH PRO GSM or I will become a madman!!! Where I can buy it?! I am ready to buy it in another country and then deliver it to my house by DHL or smth like it. And do not show me invisibleSHIELD, bodyGUARD and other **** - I just need ORIGINAL screen protector, which I can apply to my device normally - without tries to choose correct size, without cutting edges etc - just buy and apply.
Thanks.
I can not believe that nobody does not know where I can order original screen protector (or totally similar to it) for Touch Pro GSM!
I've ordered the boxwave ones, they're very similar to the OEM ones in feel and application.
Can you give me link to "boxwave"?
And what you think about this:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=166218
It says: "Manufacturer: HTC", so it can be similar to OEM too?
http://www.boxwave.com/products/easyfinder/buy-best-htc-touch-pro-accessories_3260.htm
That's probably the regular OEM on Expansys-usa, but Boxwave includes a screen protector for the buttons too, and people have bad experiences with Expansys.
Why don't you reuse the one that came with it. There is no adhesive on the screen protector it is held on by static "cling" Wash it, dry it with lint free cloth or air duster. if there is dust on it at that point use clear scotch tape and stick it on, pull it off it will remove any dust then reapply. I reapplied mine the other day it works great.
I explore all this tips only after I am totally... sh*ted OEM protector. So, now I must order it in shops.

You already use this protector? Or only order and waiting for it?
I currently use the BoxWave. I ordered the 3 pack, 1 anti-glare and 2 crystal clear. Currently using the anti-glare. As said, it has the same feel and thickness of the stock/OEM protector and feels the same when I swipe my finger across the screen.
I don't know about the expansys one.
But what about applying? Any problems?
And does it REALLY match size of the screen? And what about hole for front VGA camera? Just I didn`t see it on screenshot.
I didn't have any problem applying and reapplying, but no hole for the camera, as the US version does not have them, but it does match the screen. You'll have to contact them to see if they have any or can make it for you.
You'll be hard pressed to find the original screen protector with the VGA cut out. Not even the expansys version seems to have the cut out.
Ok, thanks for answers - I will order BoxWave soon.
Hi!
Yesterday I sent my X2 to service*, so I have probably a month or so to look for a screen protector - or do I need one? X2 is not equipped with one, so maybe S-E thinks the screen is good enough without it?
Probably not, so I'd like if you could recommend me a screen protector, maybe two - glossy and matte.
I don't care about its scratch resistance, I just want it to be as thin as possible so it does not interfere with the touch detection much.
Does anyone actually notice any difference between "expensive" and "cheap eBay" screen protectors?
Thanks!
*I know this sentence is not right, what term should I use?
Nobody using a screen protector for their X2?
im sure there was a thread about this somewhere else. but anyway, check out durasec hightec. i had their screen protector on my X1 for a year. its a special self healing plastic. small cuts and scratches just dissappear! highly recommended. they have their own website and are also on ebay. i think it comes from germany. costs around £9.
this is there ebay website. you dont want the cleartec ones, theyre just regular plastic.. its the HIGHTEC single protector.

they also have a regular website

i really wouldnt bother with the cheapo ones. i had three with the X2 when i got it and they only last a week or so and get scratched very easily. the durasec will last as long as you have the phone. its quite thick but doesnt affect the touchscreen response at all.

I bought one for the i-Phone (price 2$ ) because in Lebanon we don't have accessories for SE so I cut it in order to become the size of the X2, touch so well and protect the screen from the wounds
The best solution for screen protect is Brando protector. I bought one and can´t belive that is so briliant! Best protector ever!
Here it is: http://mobile.brando.com/bw-ultraclear-smart-phone-s-p-sony-ericsson-xperia-x2-_p05064c0864d008.html
Thanks for your replies!
Well, yesterday I ordered some cheap protectors from eBay, both glossy and matte. I went after the lowest price, because I so far have not found any comparison or reliable testing which would prove these expensive "brand" protectors to be better. It is just a piece of plastic anyway, isn't it?
So heres what happened I've had this phone since it first came out and its been kept in perfect condition. I just got a new job and left it in my pocket one day and got some dirt in there apparently. Needless to say i now have about 20 small scratches on my phone. And the reason i didnt have a screen protector on it is cause i bought a zagg one and put it on and found out that water and phones dont mix. The phones touchscreen was completely broken so I just took it to best buy and they gave me a new phone. I know i could buy a new digitizer for like 50 dollars but the scratches arnt noticeable when the screen is lit, just knowing that they are there is enough to bug me
i got 3 or 4 little ones within 2 weeks of owning the phone. similar to yours in that they could only be seen at certain angles and/or lighting situations.
I put a screen protector on to make sure to not get anymore, and it actually helped to make the other little scratches pretty much disappear.
hope that helps.
Yeah i ran to the sprint store after work today and picked up a screen protector... except i didnt realize that the protectors only cover the lcd part and not the rest of the touchscreen. It does minimize the visibly of the scratches but it just bugs me. ill just have to sell it for less when the evo 3d comes out due to the scratches.
Those Sprint branded screen protectors are terrible...truly worse than the "universal" type.
I'd check out another one of the custom-cut InvisibleShield ZAGG types. They have the textured, soft and pliable surface that may allow it to settle into the cracks and cover them up.
I'm not sure what you did when you put your first one on to make you say "Water and phones don't mix", but it sounds like you may have gone a bit crazy with the spray bottle?

+1 bought some from Sprint after putting a big scratch on my original screen protector and it's terrible.

i used the ones from radio shack they work great
but to fix scratches if they are small you can get the scratch spray for eye glasses for a few dollars and use it with a cleaning cloththen apply the screen protector
Hey warstroke, do you have a specific glass scratch remover you can recommend. Cause after hours of searching on google i found displex for touch screen phones but i cant tell if its for plastic or glass. Thanks in advance for the help
Edit... So it looks like its gonna be a huge pain to fix the scratches, so im just gonna wait till my summer job is over and then buy a new digitizer and replace the whole screen. There only like 30 dollars on ebay. Apparently sand is the mortal enemy of cell phone screens.
Try out buying Otterbox's new Evo Shift case. Its great protection and comes with a screen protecter. Its $34 but definitely worth buying for the quality. You can find this on Otterbox's site.
Of course I found this after a shattered my Evo Shift. Now I have to deal with a refurbished one.
Hey all, hope your day is going well.
(sorry for no links, XDA doesnt allow it)
I have bought my S8, I also have bought 2 cases and a screen protector....
The case i am CURRENTLY using Ottobox's Commuter series.
The second case i have is Spigen's slim fit case.
Now... Here is my question and problem, i know nothing much about protection and it seems i can only use a tempered glass protector on the Spigen one... As the Ottobox case doesnt allow it to fit.
Should I use the Spigen Case + Glass together? Or would it be better just to go without the tempered glass and use the Ottobox one.
OR should I get the RhinoShield? Just purchase the back and front tempered glass they provide.
Hey mate, here is my honest opinion.
I bought a Poetic slim case for my S8 and I couldn't be happier. It actually protects the edges cuz of the frame being a bit high. However, I bought a glass screen protector and unfortunately didn't sit flat on the screen. I had to press on hard to get it to work. I ended up taking the screen protector off and let be without it. Now, I'm telling you this because you might face the same issue with screen protector. Somehow these screen protectors aren't quite 100% designed to fit perfectly for these new devices. If I were you I would stick with something that will provide the best protection for you device. I will eventually buy a more rugged case for it, but for now this case it's more than enough. You said you bought a screen protector for the front and back? Let me know how the front glass works for you. If it works fine and it fits properly I might buy one too.
Protect your device mate and take care of it. ? cheers.
