Hi guys, looking to get a screen protector for my M500,
i heard these normally come in the box? my mate who has the T-Mobile version of the magician said that he goes his in the box?
What are your experiences with screen protectors and where did you buy yours from?
i bought my imate jam from dubai, didnt come with a screen protector in the box, was expecting to get one here in the US but cant find teh right size in any stores so now i have 2 options, order it online or buy a universal one that you cut out to the shape of the screen
Screen Protectors
Why buy a screen protector whynot make lots of them
use an A4 sheet of overhead projector acetate and cut
to the size of your PDA screen and add an extra 1/4" to
each end and tuck it under the screen ends. When its
dirty etc...just cut another one ! :idea:
the screen protector that came with my mda compact was of very bad quality compared to the one I was using on my former HP 6310, which I got from Proporta.com.
So I ordered one for the jam and its great. It is washable, anti reflective, scratchresistent and responsive to stylus action. Their sevice is great also. They even include a sac of english breakfast tea in the shipment.
so go for it.
I am using martin fields, I am not an expert in this, but i get alot of positive review on it and the expert rate it 9/10. maybe u can check it at www.overlayplus.com and see what u think
thanks for the help guys,
ended up going for the martin fields one!
just ordered it off eBay for £8.50! not bad at all!
eBay Auction Info: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5800092770
let you know when i recieve it!
I have always been a Martin Fields fan, but lately it seems to me they are not that durable anymore?
Less than a month ago I replaced my protector and there's already scratch marks over each individual letter on the virtual keyboard. I don't write enough for that to be acceptable, so I will soon be looking for another brand
http://www.expansys-usa.com have lots of accessories for the JAM. I've ordered a screen protector from the UK version.
Screen protectors
I can recommend Brando Ultra Clear protectors - they are durable and very very clear. $USD13 inc shipping.

I am looking for a supplier of screen foils and for an extra battery (to permit watching films on flights). I am in the UK, can anyone suggest somewhere either here or on the net/ebay?
Anti-Glare Screen protector here

Look for the XDAII-Mini - its the same size as the Wizard.
Battery here

I've used the first for a few items - good service. Not used the second though.
battery also from expansys:

I bought a Brando Screen Protector from pdashop.nl, must say the protector is very good, no glare & no scratches anymore. & my screen is brutalized by the kids with arkaball & other games.
Cheers, M

I saw this on Ebay, it claims to be 1,5Ah but seemed to be unsure whetcher it was a 3.6 or 3.7v
Has anyone tried one?
Also on ebay there were many selling protective foils - I would guess 3M ones would be OK - yet some were selling them in muliples of 12 or 14?
So are they crap or are they crap? :lol:
I bought a screen protector from the user "addonsworld", the 'name' of the protector is SENSIFILM.
DO NOT BUY THIS! IT SUXS
It kinda distorted the image, you seems to able to see RGB of your little pixel and it is EXPENSIVE!
I paid €15 for my previous mentioned Brando screen protector. Not cheap for a small piece of plastic, worth every penny though. Really not a single scratch in one month of heavy use.
Cheers, M
Brando Screen Protectors
Anywhere to buy them on a site either in English or French???? Tried Google, but didn't get more than the Dutch & Belgian sites....
Well this is in English http://shop.brando.com.hk/screenprotector.php
Cheers, M
Ok, so pardon me for intruding, but... any source for screen protectors in Italy? ("real" shops in the Milano area are fine, less expensive brands even better).
Thanks in advance!
Brando's for ten euros delivered!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5867264460
but there were other sellers doing TWENTY-EIGHT 3M ones for that price - so is 3M not a good enough make to work well and not need changed 28 times in the same time?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5867264460
I just ordered the protector from Boxwave. I'll let you know. I found this article to be helpful (although its a few years old):

Batteries
http://www.lionbattery.com
They sell Mugen Power high capacity batteries. I used to own the 2400 for my BA: absoulutely fabulous!
Apparently there are new models for the wizard (4400mAh!!!). With that, you can go straight to SanFrancisco!!!
they are in Canada but they have quick and cheap shipping.
I do recommend them.
Cheers,
Hal

Unfortunately you'll have to pay extra to the charter company for the extra weight you'll carry
Those things are seriously huge;
Forum Index -> Wizard > Mugen 2600aMh battery for wizard
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43510
And that's just the 2600mAh one. I would seriously be scared of a 4400mAh!
My magician was replaced by a brand new one this week. It came without a screen-protector & although TMO has promised to send one to me I immediately bought a Brando, again. Don't know tge quality of the 3M, but Brando is IMHO excellent.
Regards, M
FYI Just noticed that the TyTN II screenprotectors have become available on shop.brando.com.hk
I read somewhere that TyTn I screen protector would not fit the TyTn II. Both screens are 2.8 inches yet the TyTn II is about a mm shorter. I don't know how far this is true as yet I do not have the TyTn II. But if this is true than one must be absolutely sure that a protector specifically designed for TyTn II is procured. Just a not of caution.

The TyTN screen indeed is slightly bigger, but the p3300 screen actually has exactly identical dimensions. My hunch is that is what Brando has done.
I'm wondering whether I should get the Brando UltraClear or wait for Martin Fields to release one for the TyTn II.
Martin Fields have always been my first choice for screen protectors (two previous Sony Ericsson Phones, PSP, HTC S710, Sony digital camera) as they are very easy to apply and are crystal clear.
The screen protector supplied with the TyTn II in the box is rubbish, lots of bubbles and generally poor. I just hope it doesn't have any sticky adhesive when I take it off to replace it.
Dah... Which one to pick?
Hmm I see that Brando currently has 2 different Screenprotectors available for the Kaiser / TyTN 2
Brando Workshop Ultra Clear and the Brando Workshop Anti-Glare Screen Protectors.
I remember from my Nokia 770 and Palm T|X that I preferred the Anti-Glare ones but for my (now returned) Nokia E90 I had a Ultra clear.
Decisions decisions.
Are there already people who tried either one of these or can make a suggestion?
The price difference is 1$ in favor of Anti-Glare one.

Brando Workshop Ultra Clear

I decided not to wait untill I could figure out what the best would be and ordered the Brando Workshop Ultra Clear Screen Protector (2x).
I'll post my experiences here when I receive them.
For now all my experiences with the Brando stuff has been excellent.

They only came out today, so there's only the user experience from other HTC devices (Touch etc) that could be of help

Yes, of course but what I was after was not specific for the Kaiser but in general the differences between those 2 screen protectors from Brando.
For almost every type of device with a screen Brando produce these slap-on-plastics.
I have experience with both and apart from the cheaper one being a little thicker and less flexible, the other one seems to be better for the colours and transparency.

I'm sorry... do you mean the Ultra Clear is better? Or is the Anti-Glare one better? Also, do you have to cut these to size or what? I like taking my phones apart to put on the screen protectors, looks like they're not there.
I used the Boxwave Ultra-Clear p/n BWCTC-C8125. It fit Kaiser perfectly as well as my 8525. I prefer the glossy protectors over the flat non-glare types,

I mean to say the Ultra Clear is the better one.
although a little bit more difficult to apply than the Anti-Glare one, it does pay of when it's on
I just ordered both the anti-glare and the crystal clear. I'll be sure to give the highlights in this thread when thy arrive.
Given the fact that I use the TyTN II for navigation, and the fact that my car has a panoramic roof, the utraclear is unusable in my case. I Need anti-glare.

Really depends, in my car I found that the non glare screens were harder to see vs the clear. If the clear screen is at a bad angle to you though, it will act like a mirror and also be hard to see. I bought both and played till I got the best viewing, for me it was clear.
How difficult was it to install? ie, With some screen protectors, I have bubbles or fingerprints and then have to clean and reapply, etc.

This time I washed my hands and worked on a lint free cloth. I peeled off the Kaiser's shipping sticker from the display and applied my screen protector by placing it on edge at one side of the screen. Then I carefully let it slowly lay down from that edge, using the applicator card to smooth it. This time, not 1 bubble!
Just received the anti-glare today. Absolutely a perfect fit (even better than the already very close to perfect fit I was accustomed to with Brando).
For me, Brando makes the best screenprotectors, period!
Also the TouchFLO motion seems unhindered ...
What model are you guys ordering for on Boxwave?
I cant find this model # BWCTC-C8125 anywhere.

I had posted that number from the package that I used on my Kaiser. Here's the link to it, it was a spare for my 8525 and it fit the Kaiser perfectly. I'm no Boxwave promoter, their accys have been so-so in my opinion. I do like their screen protectors however, but I'd give Brando a try from what I've read here.

So I have been looking for a suitable case, to fit my needs. I love the leather selection noreve has and the build quality looks awesome but when it comes to the case design i am not to much of a fan. I know casemobile and others have a vertical type slide in case which I like but the quality seems to look a bit cheaper with the side bands and so forth.
I am really looking for quality and case design like this but for the touch pro.
http://www.beyzacases.com/pd-htc-touch-diamond-slimline---vsl16-vertical-leather-case-black.cfm
Just curious, what about the Noreve case bothers you?
I've used it for my Tilt and it was the first thing I ordered for my Fuze (well after the InvisibleSHIELD).
Noreve has redone their beltclip and I love it. I think it's great how the keyboard isn't covered by anything and the case is solidly snapped into the case. Even with the keyboard extended it takes effort to remove the phone from the case.
I have purchase a Nutshell case model 261 directly from Nutshell in New Zealand.
http://www.tuff-as-nuts.com/
not the cheapest case but their quality is very good and you can customize it to your liking. I have selected the Industrial Steel Belt Clip with a Magnetic Flap Closure. The outer shell is made of approx 1/16" thick leather with the iner liner made of a velvet like material.
This case really looks like it will outlast the phone and model 261 is a perfect fit for the Sprint Touch Pro (CDMA)
This is my first Nutshell case but will not be my last.
The service is great, I place my order online on November 25 and received it on December 10.

Thanks , i don't know what i was doing wrong lol, too many late nights
I was not sure which one of their case would be a better fit so I email them the exact dimension of my Touch Pro (There are at least 3 sizes) and they responded with model 261.
Since they are located so far, it's better to confirm which model will fit your phone prior to the order.

Anybody using the leather case that came with the Euro version with their US T-Mobile HD2?
I bought the T-Mobile US version for myself and I am giving the Euro version to my wife, as her LG Cookie, or as she calls it "LG Crappy" just died.
I'd prefer to use the leather case and give her the black silicon one from the TMOUS version. IS this going to be possible, or more precisely would the 1.5-2.0 mm. difference in length matter?
Anyone try this?
i bought a rubber case for my hd2 tmo version and the case was the euro version and it does make a difference click at the first picture and look at the bottom of the phone.the plastic its not cover. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280487978743&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
but I saw this case for preorder i dont like leather cases or else i would buy it http://www.boxwave.com/news/news_4045.htm

I've been all over looking for a decent case for mine. I have my InvisibleShield on its way through the postal service, but even after I still need a safe way to carry my phone.
I tend to forget stuff I put in my pockets and I know I'll sit down wrong and... well... and start crying
I've been keeping it in my shirt pocket, but the damned thing pokes out the top and is so heavy it pulls my shirt down on that side. Makes my collar look like my momma dressed me...
Until T-Mobile comes out with a decent case, I've decided to make my own with a sock, some cardboard and black Monster Duct Tape. Visit Instructables.com if you're interested in building one yourself, plenty of ideas over there!
I cannot fathom how a 1.5 mm size difference translates into what appears to be such a large difference in size for cases, etc.
i'm running zagg's invisible shield on the screen alone and this silicon case: silicon case on ebay. it fits my tmous hd2 good enough (nearly perfect to be honest), is really thin, and with these two forms of protection, i can put my phone in my pocket and not have to worry about it being scratched at all.
I'm using a Noreve leather case for mine with the heavy duty belt clip. It was made for the euro hd2, but it fits my tmous hd2 just fine. Best case I've ever used. Even got to choose type and color of leather. They have 2 different cases on noreve.com.
