Installation advise

I see that a lot of ppl have asked questions on which screen protectors are best, and why they are good, e.g "If fitted correctly" What are your experiences on correct fitment, do you have a special method, i know there a pain, as i have tried and cant get it right, so advise please would be apprieciated.

Hi darcol,
don't know if all protectors are the same, but I apply a drop of window cleaner on the screen (note that drop is meant literally, as you don't want to drown your device).
Then carefully use your finger to disperse the liquid.
Now you can apply the protector and arrange it smoothly on the screen (it will slide on the screen).
After a few minutes everything has dried and the protector is fixed.
Voila, perfectly fittet screenprotector
...
please be advised, that i'm not responsible if you drown your little toy :wink:

it isn't needed per se, but i found it very helpful to slide it on the screen before it's really fix.

Same with me, just tried the original one and a low cost one from eBay, which works fine for me.

screen protector

whats the best screen protector and where can purchase get it from? (for the Exec)
cheers

Brando is good. From HongKong.
Expansys also sell good screenprotectors. Around £8
V

Here's the best solution....I bought a pack of 15 screen protectors (thats right!) for just around 15 USDs! The quality is great, and I have no issues....
Look around for Ultra-Slim Screen protectors from Pocket Solutions for the I-mate Jasjar, and you should find it....if you're having trouble finding the url, let me know and I could help ;-)
cheers,
San

Another thing that I forgot to mention is that, it uses "static" to cling on to the screen and NO adhesives...this ensures that it doesn't ruin your display!
I also love these, as they extremely slim making it seem as if you had no screen protector installed! I think their line of products are branded under the name ScreenGuardZ....

Before you put a screen protector on, I would guess that you should clean the screen first - otherwise you are just trapping dirt under the screen protector.
My question is...what do you use to clean the screen with? I don't use screen protectors and would be interested in finding out what to use to clean the screen with. Any thoughts?

Spectacle lens cloth, and the odd "breath" to clear stubborn marks.

it is very nice, cant even tell its there

IMO, PPCTECHS AG and C2 is the best

Personally, I like my "Martin Fields" screen protectors.
Cheers,

Whats the best tip for getting them on without bubbles ? Put one on my wizard and its bubble city.

My tips would be:
1. Make sure your screen is as clean and dust free as possible.
2. Peel just a little of the backing off from one end and offer up the screen protector to the screen.
3. Peel the backing off, and as you do so the protector will attach to the screen.
4. If have bubbles then lift a little and re-apply using something flat/smooth to push it down (DON'T PRESS TOO HARD - YOU WILL DAMAGE YOUR SCREEN).
5. If you have dust under there, a straightened paper clip with a blob of Blu-Tac on the end will be able to reach in and get the dust as you lift the protector.
6. If you need to lift the protector, don't try to use something to prize the edge up - you will mark the protector, just use cellotape (clear sticky tape) on the protector, and pull on that - it will pull the protector up.
Cheers,
Steve.

Anybody have one lying around that they don't want and might sell it? Ebay doesn't seem to have any and all the other places i've looked don't seem so credible (like this). If you have any info, feel free to PM me.

[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..

warning stylus is not safe!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all,
i just want to tell every body that do not use your stylus on the screen without screen protector coz when i used it without my screen p. it SCRATCHS do not ask me how but it happend.So always use your screen protector on the phone to keep it away from being scratched.
GRAY_FOX

Know you know why they put one in the box for free .

I appreciate your warning, however this has been discussed in great depth before on this thread and is why HTC so nicely provided you with a protector in the first place

thanks for reply .I do not know this thread discussed before,and if i knew so my screen still clean

If you search you will find that there are threads about replacement covers for people who have scratched their HD. Most likely in the Blackstone accessories forum

I knew this after seeing my work mates Diamond, he asked me what the clear plastic on the box was for just a little too late Im afraid

Having had an LG Viewty for 18 months and using their stylus on it constantly, I found the screen protector to be much more of a hinderance than a help and as a consequence had not used the screen protector on my HTC Touch HD.
YMMW.

IMHO As far as quality goes there are screen protectors and there are screen protectors.
I always use one but have had problems in the past with el-cheapo ones so I only buy decent brands which a worth the month as they last a LONG time, do not hinder the interaction with the touch screen or alter the viewing experience.
And don't worry too much Gray_Fox, again IMHO it doesn't matter what you write on this forum someone will always chip in with a very supportive "use the search function!" Do a search on being told to use the search function and you will see what I mean ;-)

i think ive used mt stylus twice since i got device

yh i never really use mine especially with duttys rom

Obviously it can scratch, it's only plastic. The front of my HD has little scratches all over it, all on the included screen protector.
Keep the tip of your stylus clean or use a screen protector, pretty much common sense really.

I use mine all the time, and i have no scratches at all. You people must press VERY hard!

Kind of them to bundle a screen protector with the package but why not send a Blackstone that's already got one applied? Or even better just make a more resilient screen, I don't remember any other of my HTCs having this problem!

How do I tell if my phone have screen protector installed

Hey guys, my first post here =)
I just orderd a TD2 from Ebay, and I cant find the screen protector in the box.
Is very hard to tell if the previous owner have already installed the screen protector on it or not, is there a way to find out?
Thanks for your help

Hi, It's easy to discover, simply look at your front camera. Original screen protector film leaves front camera uncovered. you should see a little circular hole.

Thanks!
So glad I bought this phone, is really a work of art

or see above the left button. There is a corner "unglued". Easy to spot
