Jam Screen Protector from Martin Fields - A Tip....

The screen protectors at Martin Fields ( www.overlayplus.com ) are pretty good. However they are playing pricing games.
I-mate Jam screen protector = £8.99
Panasonic DMC-FX7 screen protector = £6.99 (listed under digital cameras)
Same exact item. I recently bought not only the JAM but that camera. When I ordered screen protectors from Martin Fields, the same thing arrived in two different packaging. But its the exact same screen - and the same screen protector is what you really get.
People might not know because the Panasonic DMC-FX7 is listed as having a 2.5" screen vs the 2.8" on the Jam. But the DMC-FX7 screen is 2.5 (visible) area. The black surround around it makes it the exact same size and shape of glass to cover as the Jam.

Agree the Martin Fields are great. Another one is the Brando Workshop "Ultra Clear".

Screen Protector for Fuze

Anyone know where to buy one? I'd like one similiar to the one that came with it that covers up the entire screen area with a cut out for the speaker... and curved corners...
I bent a corner on the one that came with it and have some dust/etc that I can't seem to get rid of...

Martin Fields makes excellent screen protectors, though the one that came with it is pretty good quality. If yours is messed up though then I'd check them out. I had one on my Tilt for about a year and it still looks great.
Just look up touch pro on their site.

I'll second Martin Fields, or Boxwave. I had the boxwave on my 8525 for 1 year, then moved it to my 8925 for a year. It barely shows any Solitare scratches when turned off and viewing at an angle, you can't see the scratches at all when turned on! This was on the AntiGlare...

Martin fields does NOT have one for fuze but does for HTC Touch Pro, but interestingly the diagram shows no front-camera hole which should be great for fuze too. Has anyone used it for the fuze? does it come in 2 pieces and how good is it?

here is a ebay link to a great screen protector for the Fuze...I bought a 3 pack back in January and still have the 1st one on. Great quality....here is link:

Martin Field's Touch Pro screen protector is incredibly clear. It doesn't have a cut out hole for the front camera, which fits perfectly on my Fuze. They have also included a protector for the hard keys under the touch screen. As of right now, I can say that I am very satisfied. I would definitely recommend Martin Field.

I know it's a bit pricier, but I am a fan of the Invisible Shield: http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-fuze-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php.
Basically the last protector you will need, plus you can get one to be just over the screen, or a full cover for the full phone. They are custom made for the actual phone or device you have, and will protect it well, fit the device, and protect it. Also rarely get dirt or dust in it.

I love my Invisible shield on every part of my phone except for the screen. In my opinion the material of the shield is to sticky for the screen, and causes some problems with using the stylus and sometimes your finger doesn't slide very well across it.
Just my opinion!
Thanks
JFlitt

i will like to see some pictures of the phones with martin fields and boxwave screen protectors please

I'd like to know about the boxwave and the martin fields regarding how well your finger can slide. The invisible shield is horrible for this...Yes its indestructable but not finger friendly.

Screen protectors
I'm another fan of the Invisible Shield by Zagg. It resists cat claws on the screen (w/o a scratch), doesn't need replacing ever, and I haven't had any issues with the stylus or fingers through the invisible shield. I guess it just depends on your fingers!

Yeh im personally not a big fan of the invisible shield. Have used it on a iPhone as well as a HTC Touch Diamond and have found that it works well on a capacitive screen but when it came to the HTC Touch Diamond which uses a resistive touch screen, it didn't work well at all.
The invisible shield has a squishy like texture which makes it a little difficult when in use with a stylus. I've upgrade to a HTC Touch Pro and decided to go back to a normal screen protector. I purchased the Exilim SPOC Screen Protector from eBay and have never been happier. Like the invisible shield, it doesnt scratch... quick and easy to apply without having to use any liquids and drying time. Just my preference...

Leather case I bought separate, I bought HTC Touch Viva leather case and it fits perfectly because i have also put grey silicone on my Touch 3G

Original screen protector for Touch Pro GSM

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.

X1 Front Housing

Can anyone verify if the front housing has a thin plastic layer covering the touch screen? I have a tiny scratch here and I'm considering buying a front housing if I can verify that piece of information.

what you are looking fore is generally called a
screen protector
there are tons of them around
don't believe x1 comes with one
at least mine did not

he is asking if there is a thin layer of film between the screen and the outside (so u touch the film and not the screen directly) like some laptops have.
i dont think the x1 has that film layer

No, there is not. The front cover is only a frame and the touch foil is mounted on the display.
Yes, you need a screen protector as Rudegar wrote.

Thanks
Thank you all for your replies. My phone is only 20 days old and I did order a Martin Fields screen protector that hasn't arrived yet. I had the protective film, which originally came with the phone, on until I realized that it was the reason for the scratch. I cut off the tip on the top right side, which you use to pull the film off the screen, hoping that I could use it until my screen protector arrives. However, I didn't do a very good job there; when I cut it I didn't do a 90 degree clean cut but rather chopped a 45 degree cut as shown in the attached photo. The tip of the stylus, as well as my finger nail I'm guessing, sliding off the slit caused an ugly little scratch right there. I am really mad at myself but there is nothing I can do now.
Another issue: I have an Arkon car holder that I used once with my Xperia for 35 minutes while I used Garmin Mobile XT for navigation. Guess what? Noticeable discolouration on the battery cover! I don't know if it's the heat, the direct sunlight (36 degree Celsius with really high UV index), the padding of the holder or a combination of reasons. I called Sony Ericsson’s local dealer in Egypt and they said I don’t qualify for a replacement cover under warranty! I emailed Sony Ericsson’s international website. Let’s see what the future days will carry for me.
I really love the phone and it came with a free 8GB memory card and full Arabic language support but it’s freaking too early to sustain such damage to this beauty. I am extremely careful with the phone and I bought the Sony Ericsson ICE-125 leather case, which I don’t like at all, to use temporarily until my Noreve case arrives. My feelings are a mixture of happiness for finally buying the phone, and sadness for not being able to maintain its perfection for more than 20 days…

One last thing
So I can replace the touch foil?!

Don't worry about it man. I have a big ass scratch on the middle of the screen and I barely notice it. I didn't wait for my screen protector as well.
You can always go to a repair shop and change the whole touchscreen .

Relief!
My Martin Fields protector arrived today! Great stuff! The scratch is no where to be seen. Thank you all!

God bless eBay!
I found the touch screen digitizer selling for less than $10 on eBay. Ordered one and planning on changing it myself. My LCD is fine; it's only the digitizer that is scratched. Will post a video and some photos when I'm done! Wish me luck!
