Brando screenprotectors available

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.

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 ...

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.

[REVIEW] Nushield Screen Protector for Kaiser

My review of the screen protector from Nushield.
(Purchased 2 anti glare, 1 clear model screen protector [comes in a package of 3 only]~ 12 USD)
Install:
-Installation is pretty straightforward but requires some experimenting to get the film in.(Doesn't use a sticky film, but rather a slide in)
-Warning, Make sure that there is no dust under the screen! It is a pain to take out. Trust me i know, i accidently wasted a film by bending it to take it out.
-When you first get the product, u might think that the screen protector they sent you wasn't yours since it looked to big to be fitted in. But actually it fits perfectly once u manage to slide all sides in.
Sensitivity loss:
-On a scale of 10(10 meaning no sensitivity, and 0 meaning no screen protector) it receives a 1.
-However, I did find a HUGE improvement in the touchflo scrolling than without the screen protector.(If you own a kaiser, you should know of the smears and awkwardness of sliding ur thumb to scroll.)
Overall feel and look:
-I actually dont notice it, and it is fingerprint proof.
-Using touchflo feature, the thumb easily slides across with no smears, in other words i dont get that suction feeling.
-And dont forget this is a slide in, so you dont get those bubbles you get from using the provided screen protector you got with the kaiser. The screen protectors surface is really smooth, its like sliding a thumb across a sheet of printing paper)
PS: I have not tried the clear film yet, and dont think i have to. The antiglare film seems to be secure and feels as if it can last years...
My rating for the nushield screen protector is a 9/10.(would be 10/10 if it was easier to install, but then it wouldn't work as good )
As for purchase instructions, go to www.nushield.com and choose the HTC TYTN as for screen specs since it is the same as the kaiser. (I was foolish to try to custom make the screen protector for the kaiser only to realize that its the same size as the tytn!!*got email telling me that *) You can mix and match as i did by putting which films you would want under the comments on checkout.

Thanks for that, i was looking for a good screen protector but i didnt want those sticky ones. This is perfect and from your review, it seems to do a great job too!
Thanks, i just ordered one, but as you said, there was no 'kaiser' ones so i just ordered it for the tytn

I'll always be a fan of PocketPCTechs.com's WriteShields. And during October, you can get 20% off if you use this coupon code: PPCTRC1007
Type it into the Special Instructions field.

Just as an FYI to anyone else considering ordering the NuShield: I decided to try some based on this review, and also decided to get two anti-glare and one clear. I got the following response:
While we are always trying to be accommodating to our customers
special requests, this one has gotten out of hand. Someone must have
posted on a discussion board that we will do this. This request is
now occurring several times daily and represents a significant amount
of time and effort to put these special packages together.

Guess they don't like doing that very much.
EDIT: and fwiw, they appear to currently be out of anti-glare anyway, so I ended up ordering clear.

Martin Field's OverlayPlus
Best. Screen protector. Ever. Period.
It's non sticky, invisible, and best of all: If you mess up (e.g. bubbles, dust) while putting it on, you can just rinse it off with water, let it dry for a few minutes (or blow dry), and voila: It's clean and sticks again.
I've been using these things on my mobile phones, PDA's, Nintendo DS, etc, for as long as I can remember. Even after 5 years, you can simply take the screen protector off and your screen will look brand new.
Already have a small scratch? Put the screen protector on and it's gone

I thought the 8525 is the same as the TyTN, and the screen protectors for it won't quite fit the Tilt.
But you can confirm these will fit the Tilt?

Unless it's an unusually small screen protector for the TyTn/8525, you are correct that it will be too large for the Tilt. I had to trim about a millimeter off of each dimension of my Boxwave ClearTouch Anti-Glare for it to fit.
I really like the Boxwave protectors. I had one protector last for over two years on my Treo 650, and similar to another protector described, if you want to clean it just use hand soap and water and stick it right back on.
In fact, I found that if the protector is slightly wet, it is much easier to get the bubbles out. It took almost no effort after I trimmed it when I put it onto my Tilt's screen.

So do any of these make the screen easier to see in direct sunlight?

I just ordered 2 BRANDO superclear ones ... have had a lot of phones and have had a lot of screen protectors but i have to say brando is DEFINATELY the best.

I confirmed it in my review. BTW Dont be stupid and trim it, it fits perfectly, trimming it would cause it to be loose once its in which will become an annoyance.

I just received the overlay plus screen protector for the tytn, and it does not fit the kaiser screen. The tytn overlay is larger than the kaiser's screen. I hope martin fields accepts exchanges.

keep trying to fit it in, if you read the original review he says that it's very hard to get it in there, but once it's in...it's gonna do good.

I was able to fit it in but its not on perfectly because the overlay uses a silicone adhesive, which makes it somewhat difficult to maneuver unlike the nushield screeprotectors which you just slip in.

wait....i think this is a case of miscommunication, I thought that you couldnt insert the NuShield protectors in, so I said to keep trying because the original poster said that it took him a little bit, but now it seems like you are talking about another kind of protector.
Conclusion: I'm confused

a lot of 99 cents only stores have 10 for 1 screen protectors that are larger than the kaiser. i bought like 5 of these (50 count) and just cut them to the size of the manufacturer's protector. it takes about a minute and avoids the highway robbery of screen protector prices.

Sorry for the confusion. I purchased the Martin Fields Overlay Plus screen protector and not the Nushield one that the OP reviewed.

aaaah, makes sense. I already have my 6gb micro sdhc and my nushield protectors...im just waiting for my kaiser

Nushield now has a drop down menu for Tilt in ATT and TyTn II in HTC sections. I will order them since it seems like a pretty good value.

i ordered a shield from shieldzone.com
i have used them on my blackjack and digital camera, but never a PPC device so I will have to see how well it works..

Martin Fields Screen Protector

Got this today and it's significantly shorter than the screen (3/16"). Any other owners - is this normal? Expected it to be a flush fit.

Anyone? I know people have them - they were recommended on here repeatedly. Thanks in advance.

Havn't got mine yet. Their US site was backordered so I ordered from across seas. It should be here some time this week though.

I recently got boxwave protector.
Quite good and smooth under the stylus.

funny, i've had a few and they alway fit perfectly. perhaps take a picture of the fit and email them, and post the pic and their response here for reference.
well, i've had a few on the 3.5" devices, none for the 2.8" so its been a few years since i've had one i guess

This is funny because I thought the same thing and was really really angry. But it actually fits perfectly. I think you made the same mistake I did by sliding it too far up (going underneath the front housing) causing it to be too short and not fit right. If you line up the screen protector perfectly with the screen it should fit perfectly. Look at the piece you peeled it off from and compare it to the size of the screen and you will see what I mean.
I ordered another one because it wasn't too good after i took it off the first one. Hope this helps.

Expert Shield screen protectors are just as good and are half the price.

kp's got it right. i think OP slid the protector under the top frame of the screen. i made this mistake the first time i put in this screen protector too after positioning it correctly, it fits perfectly.
great screen protector btw. WAY better than the OEM one.

I have gone through many different screen protectors over the years, and I have one thing to say about all of them - none of them hold a candle to Martin Fields.
Every one I have bought on eBay have made my screen look grainy, for lack of a better word. It's like looking through a screen door. Only MF protectors look, and act, like the actual screen. It's like they are completely invisible. It is most noticable when you turn your phone on in the dark.
Yes, $25 for two of them is kinda spendy, but WELL worth the money. They are easy to apply and reusable. Wash them under the faucet, let dry, and reuse it. All the other ones are one use only (despite their claims).

I just received my screen protector from NuShield and I have to say I am extremely impressed with them. It comes in a pack of 3 for $11.99 and they are not adhesive. They fit perfectly, you dont have to worry about air bubbles, and the clarity is very good. You can get clear of anti-glare. I got the clear ones and once they are on you cant really tell they are there. The only thing negative I have to say about it is that it is a little tricky to install, but once I figured out the proper way to do install the protector it was easy. I would definitely recommend this as an alternative to adhesive screens.

Has anyone used one of these protectors in combination with one of the cubes floating around?
any issues (eg loss of sensitivity/harder to get touchflo to respond etc..)??

I completely agree with Lidberg. The Martin Fields is the best screen protector I've used to date. I had a couple pieces of lint/hair get on it during installation. I peeled it back up, took a piece of tape, pulled the lint/hair off the protector and placed it back down with no issue or bubbles. It has no effect on the touch screen either. Great product!

Well I ordered my Martin Fields on January 7 and it's still not here... blah. I'll give my 2 cents soon... hopefully...

So I've tested a few screen protectors:
The Invisishield
Martin Fields
Expert Shield
Invisishield IMO is VERY clear very easy to apply, NO BUBBLES!!! it's just very VERY grippy and is a PITA to use with your fingers.
Martin Fields and Expert Shield all in all are basically the same IMO same clarity, they have about the same degree of difficulty to put on (which isn't hard but harder than the Invisishield) and they are cut perfectly
The Expert Shield costs less, but is much harder to find, it took me a LONG time to find the expert shield for the kaiser =/
I also compared the Martian Fields and Expert Shield on my SE W810i with same results as the one for the Kaiser
IMO Martin Fields of the Expert Shield you can't go wrong with either

Well finally got my Martin Fields today and let me just say if there was ever a more difficult screen protector to put on, the manufacturer should be in court.
With that said it fits and feels great, and looks pretty darn good. I can tell it's there (just because I stared at it) but it looks pretty nice.

find a protector for the iphone, cut it a little with a scissor and it sould be it

I have a Brando Ultraclear in the mail. I have used those for all my devices since the S/E K750i. Their fit is not always 100% but they do the job well

well, the screen is different than normal touch phones.. uses the same mechanism as the iphone were it registeres the electricity in your finger's instead of the actual pressure.. thats why it needs to be some kind of speciel protector.. so my guess is that one that works on the iphone would work on the magic

I got this from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0028E7HMU/ref=ox_ya_oh_product
and its REALLY great: perfect fit, bubble free, absolutely transparent

I like the Invisible Shield full body skin. Unfortunately they haven't made on for the Magic yet, BUT they have made it for the G1 and you can either get the full body or just the screen. Now I am assuming the screen on the G1 and the Magic are the same so if you just want the screen protection, go for that one.

thanks but... Doh! Too late for me

ive installed invisbile skin on ipod touch before and are there like places where water can get in when applying the skin onto the magic?

I must say that the InvisibleShield is rather a sh*t product. I bought the full body kit and was not happy at all. It was not cut properly and what even worse looked cheap on my phone. I removed all of the parts but screen and back panel. After 2 weeks the back panel went yellow and all the edges lost the glue making it fold outside. What even worse is that on the description it says that all the micro bubles will disappear in time. Well they do not. Oh one more thing, while mounting it on your phone you will have to wet it all with some kind spray they provide and leave it for like 24h to let it dry. DUDE THAT IS THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.

got mine from ebay user dcmugen. i got the matte finish one and it of the same quality as all other screen protectors. the matte one has this grainy look to it though but all of them have that as well so no deal breaker there.
http://www.dcmugen.com/
you can check the various different screen protectors there. plus he has videos of what they all look like. has privacy glass, mirror finish, matte finish, regular gloss and whatever else there.

My t-mo phone came with one, I would imagine that they sell them in the stores as well?

ya i didnt like the one that came with the mytouch. way too greasy and fingerprint magnet. aftermarket ones are much better imo

I tried a screen protector I got off eBay, there are heaps of Chinese dudes selling them for a few bucks plus postage.
I didn't like it, it made the touch screen less responsive and imprecise. I ended up taking it off.

Looking for a specific screen protector for my HD2 whats it called?

Hey guys, I'm looking for a specific screen protector and have searched everywhere for its name to purchase but no luck.
Here's a description, It barely picksup fingerprints BUT it's not opaque antiglare.
It feels rubbery and has a sticky back, NOT reusable.
Thanks in advance guys!

zagg invisibleSHIELD?

Thanks! Went ahead and purchased it for $5.
I suppose it's that one, I thought it would be named an Anti-smear or Anti-smude screen protector, I will update on the quality once received.

i was totally happy with my full body kit for well over a year, and for that price (i paid three times that for the full kit) it can almost be considered no-loss. I only stopped using it when o2 replaced my screen, and by that time i'd stopped worrying too much about the screen so never replaced it.

Hey guys got the screen protector, seemed promising however after installation noticed distortion on the image quality tiny grainy dots that gave a rainbow effect, didn't go away even after waiting a few hours, my friend has a matte finish protector on his S2 which has the same effect.
Well was worth a shot didn't lose much, thanks!

I've had all the major premium brand screen protectors and I can say clear-coat scream protector works the best on my opinion.
To answer your question though it would seem it would either be the one I mentioned or the Zagg brand.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium

I am a girl, so use mirror protector, haha, much to the jokes from my friends. I find it amazing, the only downfall is the sunlight legibility, which is not great anyway, but is even further compromised with mirrored finish. Other than that - the coolest look, everyone thinks it's some kind of new tech!!!
