Hi folks!
I just checked out ebay and other sources and discovered that a lot of new products for protecting your babies screen hit the market since Brando's Ultra Clear for my Kaiser
I found liquid products, silicone coatings, lotus effect stuff, several new brands, solutions for just the screen or the whole Touch Pro...
Are u using the shipped screen protector or anything else?
Brando, as with any other device.
i'm just using the screen protector that came with the phone...don't really see a reason to use another kind

When it wears out, get a Brando or Martin Fields. You will notice a difference.
Martin Fields
which one from brando should I take:
-original
-ultra clear
Exim screen protector... le deluxe! I've been using this brand forever. I don't feel like putting a $5 protector on a once $1050 but now $850 phone.
Take UltraClear, they're better for Touch Pro.
Wich one doesn't smudge as much as the regular one delivered with the device? Or is it just me having greasy fingers?
I have UltraClear and the smudges are all over the screen, I think I'll have to get used to it.
I only use Boxwave. They're the best.
According to this review, they're better than Brando.

Hmm, a review dating back to 2003, is getting to be a bit old now, don't you think?
I've ordered a Brando one, I've yet to set it.
Not really. We're not dealing with statistics here. Have plastic and adhesive technology changed so much in 5 years?
I've read reviews on the Brando and I've personally used Boxwave.
I'm sure I could find other reviews with different search terms, but it would do little good since you already ordered.
Anyway, no intarweb review is going to tip your mind. Better to just order them and try them out.
I have not received my Touch Pro yet, but I bought a box wave....I've used all except for Brando and I can say for me Box Wave have performed the best so far.
I'm using the Brando Ultra clear.
+It's extremely easy to apply without air pockets underneath.
-It's very fragile and withing a week I have 2 scratches in the screen protector
The screen protector you get with the Touch Pro is a lot less fragile but very crappy when it comes to applying it.
just ordered a box wave so I will report back and let you guys know how I like it. I got the crystal not the anti glare.
Using Exim SPUC Screen Protector since a few days and like it, quality is good, there's even a part to protect the bottom buttons
Just got the antiglare from Brando and applied it. I don't know but it doesnt seem easy for me to apply it properly.
I'll rest now and if I can, share photo of how it looks tomorrow.
Just installed a Boxwave anti-glare protector. The jury is still out for me on the portion that covers the keypad below the screen as it does interfere somewhat with the smoothness of the d-pad and center butten, but I do like the screen protector itself. It is definitely not fingerprint proof like advertised, but I do notice a reduction in glare as well as, more importantly, a good increase in touch sensitivity over the stock unit that came with the device.
I also ordered a crystal version that I have not yet installed.
Zagg Invinsible shield?
Brando?
CP SCREEN PROTECTOR?
Other?
Which one is least visible and leaves no bubbles?
Expert Shield is by far the best i have come across.
shouldn't this be posted in Blackstone accessories ?
The best screen protector is BRANDO protector,
always buying this and definitely the best.
Durable, you can wash them and reuse, etc...

Hey ,
This one works realy fine for me . Not the easiest to put on.
But seems indistructible and washable.
And looks very cool on my Blackstone.

better think twice before using a mirrored screen protector! yes they do look cool, but the glare makes the hd impossible to use outside or in bright light conditions (much worse than normal), and occasionally frustrating in normal light. they also magnify fingerprints and smudges horribly. i'm constantly rubbing mine against my shirt to clean it
i bought a pack of two and gave one to my daughter and it didnt last the day before she pulled it off. i'm considering a brando non-mirrored in the next week or two.. i really dont like it. ifyour in a dimly lit office all day, it might work for you
Vikuiti DQC160 3M Screen Protector for HTC Touch HD, by far the best screen protector i have used. Not even one scratch after 2 months and very easy aplication.
http://www.amazon.de/Vikuiti-DQC-16...=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&qid=1233388812&sr=8-2
Brando is very very good
Martin Fields for me.

This might be a stupid question, but that screen protector isn't on the us version of amazon. Google will not translate the page either... Therefore, how does a non-dutch speaking person order one of these?
I really like 3m products.. Anyone?
I'm quite happy with EXIM screen protectors :
http://www.eximstyle.com/productpage/sp_SPUC.html
My vote goes to Brando crystal clear - very good, can't see it there, and touch is the same.

I have tried almost all the above mentioned screen protectors but Martin fields and i can say with pride that if you want your device to last for years looking same GO for INVISIBLE SHIELD. With brando, you have to change every few month otherwise the scratches start to appear on the protector
Yeah, but the Invisible Shield just looks so bleh. No way to get the film to fit flush along the border of the screen where it meets the body of the phone. The film just floats in that area, basically creating a void that appears as an air bubble along the whole perimeter of the screen.
They really weren't thinking when they made the cut for that film. No reason not to have made one dedicated piece for the screen, separate from the side of the phone body. If they took one second to have actually looked at the phone itself, they would have realized this.
It does help give a better grip/handle on the phone, due to the silicon material. However, it just looks ... eh. Certainly not invisible. At all. It does change the look of the phone. Looks much cheaper. But I guess scratches'll do that too.
That silicon material also changes the feel of interacting with the touch screen. It does have some give to it. So it feels like you get more compression as the stylus sinks into it. And your fingers/stylus will not glide as easily as you might expect for this type of input method. It's not a hindrance, per se, but it will be different.
Installed the front and the bottom piece. Stopped there. Didn't want that glossy rubber-like material covering the flat-black rubber-tone finish of the back cover and the brushed aluminum finish surrounding the lens.
Would really like a dedicated film for the screen that kept the same physical feel of the screen - more like a glassy/plastic film - and a separate one that protected all the glossy black lacquer finished pieces.
The Zagg Invisible Shield is rubbish. It tries to cover the screen and the chrome bits around the screen with the same piece, so it doesn't fit as well as it should

I guess you got the limited bling edition.
are there any anti-glare screen protector around, like the iphone one? Been searching around but couldn't find any, would be good if there are plans for it.
there are many, almost all manufactures have a clear and a non-reflecting version. I use Exim crystal clear protector and Im very, very happy!! I have it since the first days I bought my blackstone (I bought it on November, 21st) and it lasts until now, without any issue!! I'm using my phone full-time, about 6 hours a day, non-stop, so I think this is a really good protection! and it looks like it's not there so, decide yourself, the problem with non-reflective ones is, that you have not such a clear view, but it's only minimal. For me anyway, I need to have a very clear one, cause I'm most of the time inside buildings and I want for watching movies, have absolute clear screen^^ that's it

thanks... but when i clicked to add one to the basket, google stopped translating, so i was stuck. so i ordered a brando protector. the mirrored one was way cool and very impressive, but i drive a lot, and it made my hd unusable when the sun was out. so bad that i pulled it off and my hd is unprotected untill the brando arrives
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.
http://shop.ebay.co.uk/falcixx/m.html?_nkw=x2&_sacat=0&_trksid=m270&_odkw=&_osacat=0&bkBtn=
they also have a regular website
http://www.durasec.com/
http://www.durasec.com/catalog/sony....html?osCsid=592e310bd0d500a9143cc56d6a853790
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 I just purchased a second hand HD2 and WOW, this thing has it going on!. It doens't look like it has a screen protector on it but I'm not sure. When the LCD is off you can see a criss cross pattern on the screen. Is this some sort of protector?

No, that's the capacitive touch screen sensors. All capacitive screens have that.
So thats why it feels so iphony. 10-4! Thanks. Now do you reccomend I buy one of the expensive ones at best buy or a cheapo off feebay? Is there a big difference?

you might be able to get away with not using one...the glass screen on the HD2 is treated to be much harder and more scratch resistant than regular glass. I've been using mine "naked" since I got it a couple of months ago, and don't have a single scratch even though it usually just gets stashed in my jeans pocket.

I agree with SirPhunkee but it couldn't hurt to have one on there. I saw a video on youtube of some guy going to town on the screen with a box cutter and knife and not a single scratch was on it. I got a screen protector, car charger, wall charger and case on amazon really cheap and it works great. All in all it is up to you! Good Luck
The screen is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
I did and currently have my phone "naked" but like a dumb ass, i had in my pants pocket along with my kershaw knife. The small steel rounded allen head screw put 2 nice little scratches along the center bottom half of my screen.
Its an expensive, amazing device but sh!t happens
I love freaking people out by taking my keys to my screen. I've been using mine "naked" as well because I think screen protecters take away from the clarity.
My main gripe with screen protectors is it doesn't feel as accurate to the touch. I may go commando, maybe not. I bought one of those invisible sheilds from best buy tonight and so far I'm impressed. Much more then those ebay kits and feels like a real silicon layer. Hopeing touch sense will still be good too. Usually though if I pay under $150 for a phone I don't use a protector. More and if the phones mint I do.

The silicone is downright filthy. It attracts dust and clogs up the ear-piece grill like there is no tomorrow.
The $20 one I got from BB is like a sticky guey and wierd. You lube it up and work it on, then after 12 hours the micro bubbles are supposed to be gone. So far I'm 3 hours in and its looking pretty good. Its way thinner then the wallmart cut your own's. Which I have on me and realized how easy it would be to make one with the custom cuts.

If you dont mind spending $20 you can get the Zaag Invisible Shield from Best Buy for $20. They do have one custom cut for the T-Mobile HD2, I saw it in person last weekend at one of the Best Buys here in Tampa. I did not look closely enough at the box to see if it was just the screen protector or the full body protection kit.
I bought the full body kit off Zaag's site shortly after I bought the HD2, I think I spent $25 for it. In the end I ended up just using the screen protector and put the OEM silicone case back on it. The HD2 teetering on its camera lens bothered me, and I really wasn't crazy with how the body covering part of the Zaag kit looked, picked up lint along the edges of the sheets too. I also like the extra grip the silicone skin provdes. I can leave it lying on my car seat and not worry about it launching to the floor if i have to slam on the breaks. Seems you end up doing a lot of that here in Florida, between the crazy old people and the people who are just plain nuts or distracted
The Zaag protector did seem to slightly desensitize the screen a bit, but i actually like that. i found it to be way too sensitive after coming from a resistive screen device.
Yah I got the zag one. Looks great but I got a defective one. Has a lazer cut about half inch on the back of the screen. Looks great but I'm gonna return it for a perfect one. I figure if I'm spending $22 on a piece of PET it better be perfect. I like that you can buy replacements for $14 though and they will replace it for free if its damaged defending your phone.
Zagg invisible shields equal awesome. And I am not just saying that because the company started where I am from, lol.
I scratched mine the 2nd day I got it. I was placing it on a granite counter and just barely nicked the screen. It was driving me crazy.
Man..Whoooooww, Good thing that very day my phone's vibrator stopped working. Lucky I took it back and got a new one. ;-)
I scratched mine as well right in the middle because I had it in my pocket with my keys. I wish I could peel the film off and get rid of the scratch ! I hear that if I put a screen protector on it that it will hide the scratch though so I hope it works!
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..
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
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.
