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.
Hello, I have found various results when I googled this question about if the AT&T Tilt comes with a screen protector pre-installed on it. Does anyone here know or can verify if it does or doesn't? I have a good screen protector that I got at "www.pocketpctechs.com", but I won't install it of there is already a factory installed screen protector.
Thanks!!

No mine didn't come pre-install. But it did came with a screen protector. I try putting it on but I messed up and it got all dirty so I just threw it out.
Mine also came with a screen protector in the box and I also messed mine up and got a few small bubbles under it. What is the secret for removing it?
So basically, the AT&T Tilt comes with a screen protector but it is not pre-installed, right? I am NOT talking about the Unlocked TYTN II from HTC just to clarify.

it's ok if there are few small bubbles under it. it will go away after one or two weeks.

YES I'm talking about the AT&T Tilt. The one that AT&T shipped to me. The one with the WHITE AT&T LOGO on the top right. The one with the BLUE KEYPAD.

Lol! Such wit!
My HTC TyTN II came with one pre-installed and one in the box.
The pre-installed one is, how to say it gently, total crap..

you will have to take up the corner where the bubble is the closest.
To take up a corner the easy way, just use a bit of Scotch tape on that corner sticking half of it to the protector and puling on the other half. Use a can of compressed air to blow on both the screen and protector. That's because it might be a dust particle that's stuck which could be causing the bubble. After that, lay it back down. I suggest doing all this in a humid washroom to avoid more dust particles. If you still have the bubble, you have to take the whole protector off and wash it. That's how I've been doing it for years.
I've been using the WriteShield protector from PPCtech and I believe they make one of the best out there, so even if there is one pre-installed on your device I would change it.

Mine TILT came with a screen protector in the box. I'm looking for a new one. Its ok, but the corner is messed up from when I took the backing off.
I highly recommend the ones from BoxWave.

or
http://www.boxwave.com/products/cleartouch/cleartouch-screen-protector-at_t-tilt_2906.htm (if you prefer a matte finish)
I've used the 'crystal' one (first link) on my 8585 and now my Tilt and love it. It's much better than the one that comes with the Tilt.
Thanks to everyone for the advise on removing the screen protector.
Waichai - you were absolutely correct. I took another look at the screen and indeed all the bubbles are gone.
Another vote for Boxwave
I second the vote for using Boxwave screen protectors. Just installed 4 of them on our family Tilts and they are awesome. I also used them on my Treo 700wx previously.
The screen protector comes in the box, not installed. This is what I did. I peeled the protector off the wax paper, and held it by the edges so as not to put fingerprints on the adhesive. I carefully aligned the protector and lightly dropped it on the screen. Starting from the bottom edge I started running my thumb accross the screen, working my way up. When I got to the top I had a perfectly aligned screen protector with almost no air bubbles. The few air bubbles on the screen are tiny, and only visible upon a very close inspection of the screen. I do not even notice them through ordinary/daily use.

No to the Smartphone Experts
I wouldn't suggest the Smartphone experts "3 custom screen protectors" for the ATT 8925. I too screwed up the ATT in-the-box shipped protector, and bought these. After meticulously lining up the top corners, making sure I didn't have any fingerprints, holding my breath for 3 minutes, and gradually moving the protector across the screen, it ends up being about a 1/8th inch short on the bottom. Stated differently, it doesn't fit snuggly. I wouldn't waste your money on these, and I'm going to try the boxwave ones, and trash the remaining 2 of the smartphone experts' ones.
I messed up the inbox ATT screen protector too.
I then cut a piece of film from one of those transparencys for projectors. Just a little bit longer and wider than the phone screen on each edge, then squeeze it in. It works perfectly except way too slippery.
Does anybody know what type of glass the Slide uses...
It doesn't seem to be the same scratch proof glass we saw on the Nexus One if that's what you were wondering. Mine already has a few tiny marks. Get a screen protector if you are the type of person that likes to keep the screen mint.
Thats what I was afraid of, Does any one know of any good screen protectors..
I guess Static would be better.... I'm just stuck using the stock plastic thing until I can find a good protector and it looks bad right now...
I purchased my slide at the retail store and picked up a 2 pack of screen protectors for $15. Not cheap, but they are good quality and fit the screen perfect.
I'd say try the Zagg Invisible Shield it covers the whole entire phone. its pretty awesome.
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
i like ghostarmour screen protectors and body shields, the screen protector is $15 but you get a liftime warranty on it and it feels nice under the finger. i have one on my mytouch 3g and absolutely love it. full body shield is $35 i think and if you have to warranty the phone, just take material off phone and take new phone back to them and they will replace with new protectors for free
I have the invisable shield by zagg my job is actually right around the corner from them I get free shields and stuff because my work has been suppying materials for their new store,It is a good cover for your phone lifetime warraty and all no questions asked replacements. Thats my 2 cents for what it worth.
I had an Invisible Shield on my G1. Amazing screen protector, crappy body protection. It collected grime all over and got pretty disgusting. The screen protectors T-Mo sells for $10x2 are quite nice.
Thanks guys.
I'll probably go with one of those protectors.
when I bought my slide at radio shack in order to get the phone for the 100 bucks I had to buy an accessory. Anyway $7 for a 5 pack of screen protectors..

What about..
The actual dust under the screen like this topic is meant for though? I have a full body Zagg shield on MT3GS and still I found dust under my screen today. It is on the bottom right corner of the glass and have no idea how it got there! Better enough I absolutely have had no luck with finding cases or anything for my phone. Anyways if I find dust under my screen again I will NOT be keeping this phone. T-Mobile went real cheap on this design.
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.
I'm fed up of dusts under the screen, every product I buy seems to get it after some time.
I'm sure it didn't have this issue out of the box, as I would have realized. Today, my screen got dirty after playing around with it with greasy hands so I thought I should clean it with the microfiber cloth that came with my TV. I was cleaning it, but turns out the cloth wasn't clean either. Anyway it got even more dust on the screen, and when I cleaned the screen, there was dust under the screen that just didn't go away.
There is just 1 of them, it is only visible under direct light or when the screen is white. It is hard to see, but knowing it is there freaks me out. I don't think I can get a replacement either..
What should I do? Live with it?
Sadly only solution is to send it to samsung for a cleanup maintenance. Thats what i did with my phones
That's a solution but I don't really want to do it just for one pixel... And it's on the far bottom-right, not at a place that's easily seemable. But knowing it's there gives me OCD..

I WOULD HATE THAT TOO! SUCKS
Are you sure its not scratches in the glass, afaik the touch screen would be glued to the digitizer like most other touch devices, so i dunno how you got dust under there.

The dust would be between the top layer of glass and the screen, I had a piece of dust near the edge of the screen that appeared soon after I got the tab, tapped the tab on edge and the dust disappeared never to return.
it is because the builder quality issue. the form between two layer not sealed well.
sometime the duct gets through. it is annoying issue for the phone
It's not at a very-obvious location, and it's really,really hard to see while using it. Now what's smitching my mind is, did it get in there or was it there all the time?
It's a horrible experience to live with it, i lived with it for like 5 months my g2 had a lot of dust under, so what i did is sell it on craigslist, but i chose to meet at night to do the trade so he wouldnt see the dust cuz you really cant see it at night but, i sold it cheap leaving room for the guy to send it back to the factory to fix te problem, selling it could be the best shot for you because if you got dust in there will be more comming in to join the party

That isn't possible to get dust there. I dropped my tab and broke the wimpy gorilla glass. I replaces it and I can tell you the glue that binds the glass to the digitizer is very solidly stuck! Are you using a screen protector? Possibly there?

How much did it cost, and how long did it take?

I dropped my belt buckle on the tab, and got a small line about 2mm on the screen, the LCD is ok, but the top glass is cracked. I have a screen protector, might have kept it from getting bigger.

oops, just saw your question. $140, took twenty minutes. The parts and tools took five days to get here from China.
That gorilla glass should be renamed sissy glass. Or panty glass.

I hate those little dusts.
I've had some of them under screen protector but never under the screen itself.
semi-related, but my ipod (not a touch, a video) has a ton of pieces of dirt underneath the glass, presumably on top of the lcd
Tears in my eyes!
No, not from the dust...... from the laughter induced by content of this post.
Please don't get me wrong, dust is a genuine concern, so I don't mean any offence whatsoever.
Thanks (+1) aryuautku for one of the best laughs I've had in a while
"Now what's smitching my mind is, did it get in there or was it there all the time?"
Cheers!
Has anyone ever used an invisible shield, they say it's better than a normal
screen protector and it's easy to install, without any dust under it.
Is that true?
