[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.

Whats the Best Screen Protector for Kaiser?

I bought an el cheapo one from ebay and not only does it feel horrible to the touch the edges are starting to fray. I had bought one for my ppc 6700 like 2 years ago that looked like nothing was on the screen and had great tactile feedback, which ones do you recommend for our kaisers?

I have purchased many screen protectors from cheap sites as well as expensive ones. My favorites are the ones from InvisibleShield. They are a bit more expensive, but they are very precisely cut and last a long time. If they ever get scratched you can get them replaced for free as well. I have not tried BodyGuardz, however, which are the same price, but you get two instead of one in the package.

I like the Boxwave Cleartouch a lot.
If you are anything like me, buy the three pack because you'll probably mess up at least one putting it on. While they say you can wash and reuse them, I don't think it's worth it.
That and a can of compressed air to blow the dust off before you put it on and you should be good.
Side note about using a compressed air can - don't use the straw. I had it blow off directly at my screen and thought my screen was permanently damaged. Thankfully, I had been using the screen protector that came with the tilt which has a bit of adhesive on it, so I only "scratched" the adhesive.

I have one of the InvisibleShield HD ones on mine, it is really crisp/clear, doesn't really show fingerprints at all, and its been on my phone for a few months now, and still looks like new.
The only thing I'm not sure of, is that it seems like it may reduce some of the sensitivity of the touchscreen because it is thicker, YMMV though.
I also have the bodyguardz themselves on too, and I'm not nearly as impressed, I'm probably going to pick up one of the Seidio slim rubberdized cases, just trying to spread out the accessory cost right now

I like...
... the one it came with. Still looks new.

im in the UK, i buy 3 screen protectors for asda for £2.99 (guessing thats about $5), so id guess walmart would be a good place to look for cheap ones.
ive had to cut it down to size for my hermes but the screenie i have on it has last over a year
ive also put these screenies on family and friends phones and cameras, no one come back to yet complaining.

My first windows mobile device was in 2002 and i tried every cover for it. From cheap ones to a couple of the more expensive ones. One of which was the PocketPCTECHS writeshield protector.
I bought the double pack, which came with the Antiglare one, and the Crystal Clear one. I applied the Crystal Clear one and it was amazing... i never used the anti-glare till i got my next device and threw it on that one.
They are very durable, can barely tell they're there and are just amazing...
But for my kaiser, i just ordered the invisibleshield for the entire device so i thought, why not let me try their screen protector out and see how it holds up.
so till i try out the invisibleshield, i'm still recommending pocketpctechs.

Martin Fields. As long as you install it properly (cleaning part is very important), you don't even know it is there.

Expert Shield screen protectors are just as good as the Martin Fields and a fraction of the price. You can get it for $7.25 shipped.
I have purchased from this ebay seller MANY times. Great communication and fast shipping.

Registry tweak for screen sensitivity really helps
Think if you using the highe durability thicker screen protectors the increased pressure sensitivity will help alot - am just using the one that came with the TILt on it and it greatly improves tactile feedback and response is almost instantaneous with very minimal pressure
Q: How do I increase the sensitivity of the touch screen?
A: If you want to increase the sensitivity of the touch screen, I recommend setting the registry key (HKLM\Drivers\?TouchPanel\Pressure Threshold) to 5000. It may seem a little high, but the response time is practically instant, and very little pressure required (still enough to avoid accidental presses).

thoughts concerning Martin Fields & Expert Shield protectors
Mine is another vote for the Expert Shield and/or Martin Fields.
Just got it at around seven bucks shipped from eBay. I (prior to this) ordered a Martin Fields and had a difficult time applying it to my Tilt without creating air bubbles. I'm clumsy. and I sneezed half-way through. It's definitely high quality and far better then what shipped with my Tilt. Anyway, I took it into the bathroom and left it to dry so I could attempt to re-apply it later. There, it promptly slipped into the space between the sink cabinet and the tub. Goodbye Martin.
* sigh *
The ES protector seems to be just as good - they're both excellently cut and you can't go wrong with either of them. I don't feel it impairs the screen at all - stylus and finger use ( I use my finger all the time ) are pretty much as it was without the protector. Maybe a tiny touch less sensitive, if you're picky....one can increase sensitivity to compensate. I myself did not find this necessary.
I hope this can be of use to anyone considering the choices. I think a screen protector is a must if you care about your device. I had little regard for my HTC 8125, which lived in my pocket up until last week. The screen held up pretty well, considering it's been to PPC Basra and back. It shared the pocket with my keys, various automotive tools, nuts, bolts, and large quantities of quarters.

Sorry to hear about your situation. I know I've screwed up a few of mine in the past. I have Expert Shield protectors on every device I've owned. Nokia 6820, 6822, E-70, PSP, my girl's Sony-Ericsson w850i, LG Shine, my friend's LG Chocolate and I've never had a problem with them.
I'm glad you enjoy yours as much as I do.

has anyone ever tried these?

I got the Boxwave Cleartouch Crystal and the Anti-Glare, used both for two weeks and I settles on the Crystal..
I just don't like how the Anti-Glare makes the screen look, the Crystal on the other hand is like having nothing on the screen at all it's perfectly clear and well the Anti-Glare really wasn't Anti-Glare..
both are nice and thick and I didn't have to adjust the sensitivity on my Tilt either to use them

Hi,
Someone can say me if WriteShield Screen Protector fit exactly the screen size of the Kaiser without leaving some screen surface unprotected ? Or which one fit exactly the screen's size ?
Thanks in advance

Screen "scratchability"

Some of you people may find this gayish but I am worried about how "scratchable" is the screen?
Ok, I can live with the fingerprints, simply wiping the device from time to time, but having some scratches on that marwellous screen would be a real disaster.
So far I can rank some devicer in terms of hardness of their screens' plastic:
1) iPhone (some kind of glass or smth.. hard to scratch)
2) HTC Diamond / PRO (plastic, but pretty hard though)
3) SE Xperia X1 (plastic, but i get the feeling of nearly scratching it with my nails)
So, where would you guys think the Touch HD would be?
PS: while answering, please omit alternatives of using screen protection film. Looks ugly and the efects a very manufacturer-dependant.
Thank you.

anyone?........

gayish...???

gayish...??? what is that???

Not sure how you can expect accurate feedback on this (i.e actual resistance to scrathing rather than just a feeling) without someone actually testing it (possibly accidently) on thier lovely new gadget
Also:
"PS: while answering, please omit alternatives of using screen protection film. Looks ugly and the efects a very manufacturer-dependant."
To be honest, a well designed and well applied screen protector is practically invisible (imho). Particularly with flush devices, since you don't get the edge around the recess.
I just applied one to the wife's iPhone a couple of months back and she did not even notice it. But she also dropped the phone the other day and I think it's time to order a new protector. Perhaps the screen would have survived scratch free, but I'd rather not take that chance
Zuber

Just my thoughts, Zuber.
A good screen protector, applied carefully, with patience! is a great thing! I use the Javoedge screen protectors and they are excellent. Doesnt even feel as if its there!
Just put one on my wife's iPhone yesterday, and there is no difference between using the device with the screen protector, and its not looking one bit different to "without" it.

I've tried the GadgetShieldz for my HTC Touch HD and it's really good, it installs quite fast and I paid $13.50 for two units. I will be testing my keys on it later today. Check it out:
http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/smartphones-pda.html
Nails will definitely not dent it!

scratchable
I scratched my screen after about a week. Best I can figure is it was on a metal rivet in my jeans just above my pocket... the scratch drives me crazy. I bought a replacement screen cover for about $20 and I'm waiting for the weekend to install it. There are many examples of these on ebay, here is one.

Dont' have a lab that can do experiment and tell you the hardness....but one thing for sure, HTC screen is scratch resistant. Had it for 6months, kept my screen sparkling clean all the time by cleaning it with microfibre cloth everyday. Till now, not a single scratch can be seen...happy with it!
Was in a Mac shop once, the iPhone sales person demonstrated the hardness of iPhone sceen by scratching with a pair of Scissors. Any dude dare try this on THD???
All that I've done so far is to take a coin and scratch a THD dummy display set in the shop. Absolutely no issue.....and I believe the dummy screen is the same as the real device.

Zagg
I just bought my wife an iphone (2nd hand) which came with a Zagg shield (the whole phone not just the screen). Amazing stuff, seems unscratchable. The only thing with the full body shield is that it is impossible to get on 100% perfectly.....still....it's staying on and after a year (that's how old the phone is) the shield doesn't have a mark on it. There's a youtube video of someone scratching an iphone up with a set of keys and then attempting the same on one with a shield. Check it out...I was impressed.

Screen Protector Recommendations?

My T-Mobile HD2 is in the mail - expect to get it Thursday. Sold my Fuze on ebay immediately after visiting the T-Mobile store. Have used Clarivues, Boxwaves but anyone have any experience with either on this phone - especially cutout and fit for the entire glass surface? Also anyone get either a Bodyguardz or InvisibleShield?

Zagg InvisibleShield is good.

I bought the crystal Boxwave screen protector and I like it. Even though on the website it says the screen is for the TMO version of the HD2, I have a feeling they're just shipping out the original HD2 screen protector; the screen protector is off by 1-2mm at the top. I don't mind though, the gap is negligible.

I have the full body invisishield on my HD2 and I use the stock rubber case that comes with the phone, and I really like it.
Things I've noticed:
The glass is a lot easier to clean as compared to the plastic cover.
The glass is easier (not lots, but noticeable) to slide your finger across.
There is a little more glare (once again, not a lot)
The awesome metal feel is gone (it would be gone if you had any cover, so really not an issue)
BUT! I had my iPhone 3G covered since day one and it is almost scratch free. You wouldn't know that it is almost 2 years old and lived in a pocket, so yeah. If you want to preserve your device and sell it in a couple of years as nearly perfect condition, I'd go for the full invisishield. If you want to have an awesome device that you'll probably just give to a little brother in a year, don't get the cover.
my 2 cents
p.s. just to make sure, I'm happy with my invisishield!

Im really happy with the INVISIBLEshield. had it on since 2nd week jan and really chuffed. Feels nice, seems to help with the screen sensitivity, but not enough to slow it down, and even though i dont use any case (full body zagg kit) there isn't even a faint scratch on it anywhere.
One corner has peeled away less than 1 millimeter where it slides into my pocket, BUT i mounted that corner badly anyway. (First panel applied)
Everywhere else its so snug it could be directly applied.

I have the screen sleeve provided by T-Mobile retailers... and the Body Glove transparent hard case w/ the kick stand on it.
But really, any screen protector will work out if put on correctly.

Thanks for the replies.
I contacted Martin Fields this afternoon and they were the most responsive. Actually measured their screen protectors and it is 1.5 or 2 mm too short for the Tmobile version - Based on measurements I took with micrometer they'll modify their specs and issue a full screen protector for the TMobile. Have used Clarivues (a little thick) and Boxwaves which I prefer - will see if they respond.

Honestly, in my experience the tmobile screen protectors sold at the stores have been awesome.
I have ghost armor (same if not better than invisible shield) on my blackberry, and they are good but still finger prints galore.
The tmobile ones sold in store are anti-smear. I clean my screen like after the whole day. It makes it a little bit fuzzy, and i mean a little like after you don't see your fingerprints after one use you'll love it and not even care.

My T-Mobile HD2 is in the mail - expect to get it Thursday. Sold my Fuze on ebay immediately after visiting the T-Mobile store. Have used Clarivues, Boxwaves but anyone have any experience with either on this phone - especially cutout and fit for the entire glass surface? Also anyone get either a Bodyguardz or InvisibleShield?

I bought the InvisibleShield last night. Chose the cheap shipping, so I don't expect it in for a week or so.
In the meantime, I intend to try out the Saran Wrap® option that so many iPhone users have sworn by

I just ordered my full body protector from bestskinsever.com for $8 shipped. I have used it on my iphone, use it on my ipod touch, and laptop and I love it!

I second that notion.
T-Mobile retail stores are always known for providing reliable products... at least from my location. My manager prides himself on that, so we do what we can to always have quality as opposed to quantity, especially when it comes to device accessories.

I put a skinomi skin on and love it, no bubbles, streaks, blemishes... lifetime guarantee as well. Fits perfect on my T-Mobile HD2

I bought the one from a Tmo store, I think it's the HTC branded one. It's real nice, although my screen protector does have scratches on it already from being in my pocket, but I'd rather have that than scratches on my actual screen.
