iPhone-esqe screen feel?

The only thing I like better in the iPhone than my Kaiser is the feel of the screen when I use my finger. It's so hard glass-like and smooth. Is there any screen protector (or enhancer ) that will get me that feel? You know what I mean?
Thanksss!!

It would probably be to thick to make it feel like an iPhone, and sensitivity would go down.

Try Martin Fields.

I have a Martin Fields screen protector on my Kaiser. However, it hardly feels like the screen on the Iphone...

Agreed. I have the MF screen protector also. However, it does feel a bit more solid compared to no protector or the included screen protector.

I know what you mean, the iPhones touch screen was great to feel. Unfortunately, the iPhones screen uses a different technology to detect touch inputs compared to the Kaiser, so we will never be able to get that hard glass touch screen on our device.
P.S.
I cant wait to get my kaiser, I just sold my unlocked iPhone on eBay and purchased a tilt. Its going to be interesting how they compare...

Which screen protector are u using?

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.

stock screen protector is good enough?

1st sorry for my english. i just wait for my blackstone. and now just want to know
Is stock screen protector that come in the box is good enough?
or we must buy 3rd party?
which brand do you prefer?

Hi iDaemon,
I have the stock screen protector on at the moment and while its ok I will be buying a 3rd party protector.
With the stock protector I get bubbles under it no matter what I do but its ok for the time being as their only on the edge of the screen.
I am waiting on either the invisable shield body protector or the Clear-Coat one.

thanks AFK_Matrix, so maybe high quality protector will good when apply on our device?

It is good enough for me. It works just fine.

Brando is the best.

I tried the stock one & found it too thick (although it was as soon as I got the phone, so maybe I wasn't pressing hard enough?) I've now got a Brando's from Inkino which they even fitted for me & I can't tell is there with regards to sensitivity.

I didn't get a screen protector in the box If it stratches i'll use orange care to get me another

The HD screen protector is just fine, and it doesn't always give bubbles. I got one tiny bubble above the vga camera because I slightly misplaced it, too near to the top, otherwise it's perfect.
Don't know about sensitivity, since I have not tested with another protector on the HD yet, but a screen protector would have to be really thick in order to impair sensitivity on a resistive screen, almost impossible for a thin plastic film.

Screen protector
On my Glofiish have been using this protector.
Now I´m waiting for HD protector.

i think the stock one is pretty good, i have some bubble around the vga camera & the earpiece... but thats because i misplaced it, the rest of screen is perfect.

I don't think you misplaced it. It just does not fit well. I have applied the stock one and a different one for like ten times and the stock one always gets bubbles near the earpiece and cam. not with the other one. However, the one I bought is horrible, it distorts image so I will not recommend that one either (so dont buy this one). I am getting a brando, lets see how that goes...

...good enough...whatever it means!

I have bubbles even I have placed the stock protector perfectly...
s***!!
I'm definitely going to get a 3rd party protector.

Through the years I bet I put 50 screen protectors on devices, including replacememts. Not to say I'm more than proficient, but the stock protector went on perfect for me.

You can adjust the sensitivity by recalibrating the screen after you've put the screen protector on.
These devices seem to use the pressure used during the screen calibration to set the sensitivity. If you use a very light tap with the stylus on each of the 5 points during the calibration, you should find the touch screen is more sensitive (and equally if you press very hard with the stylus, the screen will be less sensitive in future use).

EDIT: My mistake, miss the words "will use"

screen comparisons

I was just wondering how people who have them feel about screen protectors.
For one, would people recommend full body protectors or just screen. As well, I have used invisible shield before but for the fuze would the Bodyguardz shield be better? Also wondering if there is a difference in texture between the different protectors, as the invisible shield isn't the most slippery are others better for the touch screen?

colin725, I'm using invisibleShield for my Fuze (Full body). It's living up to it's promise of scratch-proofing my device so far. But the downside is, it has become a lint magnet so I've put it back to my belt holster instead of my pocket.

Yea, and I'm a pocket kind of guy. Guess that rules out full body. I'll probably just pick up an invisible shield screen. Thanks for the feedback.
I have doubts that the invisible shield is the best surface for a touch screen though, I'll probably wait before I decide to get one or not.

The invisibleShield has that rubbery feeling which you won't like the first time when using TF3d, but you'll eventually get a hang of it.
If it was available already for my Fuze, I would really try those Martin Fields screen protectors, simply because it's not messy to apply upon the device.
Goodluck to your 'shield' hunting.

I use Bodyguardz and it sucks. Actually, I don't know of any word that can put it in the right/correct perspective.
I still have a few sreenprotectors that came with the sillicon cases I ordered. I'm gonna use one of those. Bodyguardz work great for overall protection. But it kills the screens responsiveness.

I have the Invisishield full body one and just yesterday took off a few of the full body pieces 'cause it gave the phone a "rough" feeling edge and also seemed to be a dirt magnet. Hard to describe exactly but I wouldn't put on all the little pieces again just the three big ones for the screen, back and d-pad area.

I installed the invisible shield just for the screen and hate it. I really want to get more of the OEM protectors that came with the device..I loved that one but I got a dirt bubble. *sigh*

Cant you wash the OEM one and reuse it?

i tried to peel it up to attempt that and messed up the corner

Do I need a screen protector?

I haven't recieved my phone yet, so my question is.
Do i need a screen protector or is the screen of the hd2 scratsfree?

looks like it is scratchproof

Ok thanks, so a little bit like glass?

if we are spending 500 euro on a device, what we are going to lose in spending 10-15 more? prevention is better.always.
BTW, I have ordered a screen protector along with my HD2 preorder

For that kind of dough they should have included one, they do with most all their other lines currently.

Feels solid like glass. The only bad thing about it, its a fingerprint magnet, and reflects light a lot.

Nothing is scratch proof, except for the hardest material (= very expensive ). One tiny sand particle can mess up an entire iphone screen within seconds.
Edit: I should add that of course a glass screen would be "less prone" to scratches in general than some form of polymer. So if you do not want to worry about scratching the screen, get a screen protector. If not, you'll probably be fine, but it's not guaranteed.

according to a review, the screen is made of special material, put screen protector will slow down the response. but it is still a good idea to protect it.

The term "special material" has a broad meaning. But yes, a screenprotector can interfere with the response, though I'm sure a screenprotector of a special material can be made as well, so it will have an insignificant influence on the response of the screen (see what I did there? ).

Yeah, this is before it get scratches on it

I'm surprised no one has pointed out the capacitive screen responds only to fingers.....well maybe a special stylus, but I think you'll agree most of us will be using our fingers......
So in that event, what's the purpose of a screen protector?

True, your finger won't scratch the screen, however when you have your phone in your pocket and say with some coins or keys or in your bag a screen protector will be very handy to protect your expensive gadget.

...lol I dont have one but there is nothing wrong with a man bag... and I think there is a few girls on these forum

uh - yeah
I'm a girl and I do carry a small purse. I think I will have to investigate screen protectors. Don't want one that will interrupt the touch capabilities but I'm sure someone makes them. Better to be safe than sorry. I keep my phones for a couple of years. Not much worse than a scratched screen.

I will definitely put one on, not because I'm worried about the glass being scratched but I want an anti-glare protector which should help with fingerprints, smudges, glare and help a teeny weeny bit with sunlight legibility.

This may be so for resistive screens, but for the HD2 which uses a capacitive screen I think a screen protector would make no difference.
And about a response, either its there or its not I don't think it would be slowed down lol.
I am considering purchasing a 'BodyGuardz' screen protector which is meant to be really good. Maybe anyone else who is going to by a screen protector should take a look. Its basically a cheaper version of InvisibleShield

I would definitely put on a screen protector the moment I unbox it.
Not just the screen protector, but also a case (I prefer a silicon soft case) for the side and back of the phone.
