Use some kind of sticky tape. Stick it on near a corner and useit to lift the protector.
Great idea. Thanks.
can you aply the screen protector that came with the HD more then once?
I think you probably could, but would need some an alchohol solution of some sort to reapply.
Personally i have a insivible shield by zagg which protects the whole phone for about £15.
I would suggest trying harder with fingernails, the protector is thicker than you think and i got mine off with a bit of a fight

Personally I thought the zagg one was rubbish. It was very difficult to get it to cover the screen properly and the surrounding chrome bits with one single piece of plastic. I just bought the Clarivue anti-glare screen protector. I'll report on it when it arrives

Yes you can reuse them. Just gently wash the protector with hand soap and water (try not to bend it, keep it flat in your hand) and shake the excess water off and reapply.
A word of caution for those removing the screen protector using sticky tape.. I did that and got the top coating layer peeled off. Cry man...
Word of warning. Do not use WD40!!!

A member had previously posted that he used WD40
His name was arsenalfc who then got banned and returned under a new name deanoyouno. He got banned again after I reported him for posting useless & damaging threads and subsequently all posts/threads by him were removed.....so there was a post orignially before my post which has now been removed.
I have the Invisible Shield fitted to mine , very nice and turns the rear of the phone Glossy Black, installing is fiddly but just be Patient, I had a few Bubbles in mine on the edges of the screen where there is a slight lip but after about a week its dried out and pretty perfect, I would recommend this shield to anyone who wants alot of protection, There are installation video's on the Zagg site which I would recommend watching First as the Palming tecnique on the corners is a must.
Hope this Helps
do they ship to Uk? or can u buy this shield in Uk? not a copy, but the official one, as looks impressive
Yesterday I started thread about if it is possible to scratch the display with the stylus..because i draw on my unit and I love it
And I was little worried that it may happen..people said that it not very likely to scratch but I may happen if some dust comes under the stylus tip or etc...
So I said OK I am cool...didn't apply it because it was too late and went to sleep...but I took my device to play a little more with it and what have I found?? SCRATCH!!! OMG...luckily just a little one but he is there, 455hole..
So today i wanted to apply the screen protector, first time in my life, it was pain the 455, I still couldnt get the bubbles out and blah blah..the nI touched the adhesive side and it got so dirty and ow damn
But as jdlorinser says, I hope it can be cleaned and reapplied...dont want to throw out just like that...
so this is my story
tip..
go to the bathroom,to put on the screen protector..WHY? because it's the most dust free aria in the house.
Don't use the protector that came with the hd,but buy a better one.
I use brando protector...This one is ant scratch,removable and washable...
just a tip.

How many of you are using a screen protector?
I just can't install this damn thing without making bubbles between the screen
and the screen protector.
Tried putting invisible shield today which covers the entire device. it came with
some spray to avoid dust but i'm still not happy with it. on the back it's ok, but
the front shield was so ugly and unclear that made me to remove it and now
i'm with no front protector at all.
The screen is more clear now but i'm afraid to scratch it.
Does anyone know how to install the screen protector in a way which it will be
totally unnoticeable?
I haven't ever used one, I find they make the screen less responsive. I do have a few scratches on my screen though but they are invisible when the screen is backlit...

Your screen protector is a must as scratches can appear on your screen very easily without it.
As for the bubbles I've managed to get mine on with only a couple of bubbles around the speaker & 3G camera. Doesn't bother me to much any more
Try this thread as it has a number of recommendations on which is the best screen protector to use
Yes, the screen protector is a must!
Especially for a device with such a huge display. I have read here about cracked displays and I am sure that screen protectors give added resistance against cracking (besides their primary function against scratches).
It takes PATIENCE to apply one though. I wasted 2 before i managed to put one flawlessly (well almost)
Some of the protectors can be washed and re-applied.
Do you really think it has some impact on the way the screen respond ? Does the screen protector makes the bends more noticeable when you press on the center of the screen ?
I've used my Universal for over 3 years with no scrren protector, and there is a mark in the top right where the X icon is but no other issues. However the Universal is a clam shell design so the scrren is protected when it's in my pocket. I don't think I'd want to use the HD without one.
I couldn't fit the screen protector that came with the HD properly because it has to be done with microscopic precision. However I bought 6 protecoter for £3 on Ebay from Ecell and am very happy. They're much easier to fit because they're a fraction smaller, plus you can use a couple to practice with and still have spares left over.
I use the protector from day one and I can't imagine not using it. It's just too much of a risk, and by watching my used protectors, how they're covered with scratches, some of them quite big and quite deep. I would not want to have this permanently on my screen.
I have bought some additional protectors as well. I predict I will be changing protectors every 3 or 4 months.
I have no idea why everyone seems to have so much problems with applying them. It was very easy for me to apply both the stock protector and the Brando protector. Just clean the front screen as thoroughly as possible with a piece of cloth that does not leave those small fabric hairs. I used a cleaning cloth for glasses, and put a few drops of window cleaning fluid as well to remove eventual grease.
After that it was piece of cake. Started at the top and just rolled down the protector in one smooth move. Had 1 bubble, which I simply pushed to the edge of protector until it was gone.
I reccomend you do all of this in a dust-free environment. Bathroom is a good place, for example. Let the dust settle for like 20 minutes before going in. Avoid rooms which have carpets and such stuff.
I used mine for the first month+ without the screen protector and sustained no scratches. I have one on now simply because one day I was putting stuff away, saw the screen protector, put it to my HD and it went on perfectly without trying, so I decided to keep it on.

GoldCoin,
Have you tried buying on from a phone shop and asking them to install?
I installed mine as soon as I removed the "do not sit down with the HD in your pocket warning" Best way to ensure that the screen is clean. Took a couple of attemps to get it started but a little effort and I got it. Left with a small bubble round the ear piece and one top right, but that looks like a slight defect in the protector as the alignment looks almost perfect.
When installing, I peeled back a portion of the protector and aligned it best I could - incidentally, I placed the HD back in the foam that it came in to hold it firm. Without peeling any more off I try to gauge the alignment. If I think is good to go, I slowly peel the backing whilst rubbing my finger back and forth across the area just stuck down.
Here's another suggestion. PSP Screen Protector installation
Good Luck,
Yes, it's a must!
I use a screenprotector and it has lot's of scratches on it, which otherwise would be on the screen itself
Absolutely!
I Use clear-coat and are very satisfied (had it on my diamond as well and have it on my psp)
Once you get a mark on the display u will regret going without.
Thank you all for sharing your opinions. already ordered a Brando protector + 3 extra just in case i will mess things up again.
Following Rozenthal advice i think i'll apply it in the bathroom this time and not in my dusty workroom.
Bubbles are not problem. After installing screen protector just take you credit card. You can remove all bubbles with credit card.
Just adding my two pennies worth. I haven't ever used a screen protector on any of my previous phones. However Touch HD is a little bit special (as we know) so I invested. The one that came with was utter....well it was naff. I bought an invisible shield but some areas didn't dry and adhese correctly....so I opted for Exim...now this was awesome....a few attempts later and I have it installed with no bubbles at all using a credit card to apply.
(Top Tip: use selotape to remove any unwanted dirt from the screen before installing....the static tends to draw dust to it straight out of the packet....helped me anyway!)

For what it's worth, it wouldn't hurt to use a can of dust remover or compressed air to spray the area before applying. Worked for me. Just a thought.
Does the normal screen protector that comes in the box makes the screen feels like bending when u press on it ? in the center specifically ? and makes you need to press harder when u tap ?
Invisible shield on mine and wouldn't be without a screen protector on any of my devices with my way of using them and pocketing them they tend to get scratched but loving the invisible shield. Should be installed at the factory imo

I've always used one, XDA mini, Kaiser and now the THD.
In all cases I've found the sensitivity is affected but to varying degrees.
In each case I've used tweaking tools to change the sensitivity back to acceptable levels.
But im only concerned to know. Does makes the screen feels like bending when u press on it ? I already know that all resistive screens do what i am talking about but does it increase when using a protector ?

I haven't experienced this with the Exim protector I am using. In fact...it's as though there is nothing there....even when swiping!
So, I was putting on my InvisibleSHIELD full body armor earlier... but no matter what I did there are still quite a few small bubbles under the screen protector. The sides and the back are fine except for the piece between the headset port and the proximity sensor where it leaves with a bit of space which won't fit perfectly around the corner.
Will the bubbles on the front screen gone after a while? What should I do with that piece next to the proximity sensor?
Thanks!

Did you remove the pre installed Screen Protector?, which imo does a very good job and is the first phone I have owned installed from the factory.
Give it 2 days. All the microbubbles will go away.
I put this on my 17" laptop. It was next to impossible to remove them, but after several days they all went away.
Im still waiting do install mine, the 12hours dry time just makes it a little hard.

Its hard to call it screen protector. I already have few scratches with using the pouch. So from me i can only give it a big D.

Well it's doing it's job then as the screen protector, you will hopefully always be able to take off the factory installed protector and find a pristine screen underneath.
I hate fitting screen protectors myself, they always looks a mess so I am glad that this phone came with one factory fitted.
My factory fitted screen protecting film was set quite badly, it had little wrinkle and couple big air bubbles so I took it away and set the one that came with the phone, its been working good except lately it has start going off from my screen corner for no reason? it just won't stick anymore.
2 3 days and bubbles will be all gone worked on mine..... invisibleshield works really well
If you end up with any larger bubbles or some that don't seem to go away (which most all of them should disappear on their own) you can get yourself a very fine needle and poke as small a hole in the bubble as possible and use a damp cloth to push out the air.
Put one on my old iphone and as soon as i did my dog took to the texture and started chewing it I ended up with a "flap" if you will and even that smoothed out nicely over time. Great product, although the smaller pieces will eventually start peeling off at the edges. Mine is in the mail from Zagg for my new X10. Being very careful with it until then.
Double screen protection
When you opened the box the screen has a film used for shipping. Some have said that this film was bubbled. Than under that film is real screen protector that is already attached to the phone. A second screen protector is in the box and is an extra.
To be clear there are three films to protect the screen.
1) shipping film covering the screen and a screen protector that is attached underneath this to the screen itself. (often bubbled) (easy to remove)
2) the actual screen protector that is already attached to the screen and is under the shipping film. (look very closely and you can see the edge) (will not come off easily)
3) spare screen protector to be used at a later time.
Sounds to me like you boys put a screen protector on top of a screen protector
There was already a real screen protector? like i thought i saw on my htc touch? which was hard to pull of but i did it, after that the phone didn't react to touching anymore, oops! it was the layer of the screen responsible for receiving pressure from touching.. i hope it isnt the same with this phone.. that would really suck

well the touch had a resistive type screen the x10 has a capacitive type.
so peelin of the pre applied on the x10 makes no diff.
but remember the pre applied film is less a screen protector and more a shatter proof sheet which helps to keep the piece of glass together in case the screen breaks..
ok, thanks for the information, now i know it wont kill my phone to take it off, which im not going to do, also then i know i dont have to be worried to death about scratching my screen

so I really cant tell here if you guys have removed the factory installed protector prior to placing the Zagg sheild on or not.
If yes, how the heck did you get it off?? And if no, did it seem to affect the responsiveness of the screen?
I have my protector and I just want to make sure whether or not I should or should not remove the film (protector or not it is frigin on there......tight).
I just peeled of the preinstalled screen protector with my fingernails (i probably have to cut them ). It took me about 30 secs and was quite easy to do. I wouldn't recommend anything sharper than your fingernails. Using your own body is the easiest way, because you have full control of your finger and get a "feedback" on how to remove the screen protector.
My InvisibleSHIELD is drying since 18 hours and I'm gonna wait till it dried 24 hours. I'll tell you in a few hours if there are any differences between a XPERIA with a preinstalled screen protector and a XPERIA without a preinstalled screen protector but an InvisibleSHIELD.
Have a nice day
well I just went ahead and put the screen on right over the preinstalled one, and I must say that I got it on there about as precisely as is possible. No bubbles and it looks great! Also no change in screen responsiveness as im using right now with swype keyboard. Works perfect.
Sent from my X10a using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Ok, I couldn't wait to use my phone again, so I powered it on and in case of responsiveness there aren't any changes with the preapplied one removed and the InvisibleSHIELD installed. I'm even more amazed by the white one now, because it now has some kind of grip on its backside. Before installing the shield it was definitively too slippery.
Ok, does this phone have screen protector that is glued on the display or it is just a display with nothing on it ? I have few little scratches so I was wondering can I polish it somehow ?
Tnx
The phone comes with a screen protector already applied. Look at the edges of the screen, you'll be able to see the difference between the screen itself and the protector.
Hi guys, been reading for the past few months here...I am getting this phone in about 1 or 2 weeks, and I read it has a scratch resistant screen...but this thread states that it actually is a screen protector. Can someone explain a bit more about this?
I also have some scratches on the protector. They can be polished out temporarely and completely with LCD-Liquid but next day they are visible again.
As the protector fits very well:
Anyone got an Idea how to polish away fine scratches permanently from protectors ?

it has a screen protector on it but also a scratch resistant screen but i've managed to put some small scratches but nothing too bad.
i took the screen protector off, a mistake on my part but oh well.

Mineral glass. Not quite crystal. But tougher than normal glass. Took mine off too. It definitely makes the screen a little more responsive. I personally recommend removing it, but I'm not going to be responsible for yourscratches!

No, I didn't, thx for the Info.
If it's that in a Shop I'd get it and give it a try. The protector fits so exactly on the glass that I would keem it as long as possible.
Tnx a lot guys, now I am much more happier knowing that it is only protector scratch, I can see it on the edges. Is there any screen protectors that good on ebay so I can replace this one ? I have bought some but they are not perfect size like this original one.

I removed my screen protector today since I dropped it on sharp pebbles with the screen first, lol. Anyways, Sony Ericsson says that it should be avoided at all costs. Removing the pre-fitted protector that is. Well, I hope I don't have to regret removing it!

One thing you can try is going around the edges with a razorblade. I haven't done it on the X10 but I've done it on oither phones where it's worked well.
Okay I thought i'd make this quick thread to help you guys out. Some of you Xperia users don't realize Sony Preinstalls this screen protector or should i say "Shatter Glass" on all of their devices. Is this good? Simple answer, NOT. AT. ALL. When i took the shatter glass off i noticed an increase in brightness and the phone was more vibrant and so i order this Nu-Clear Screen protector off Amazon And it is the best screen protector I have ever had. It is so smooth and feels like its not even there and the phone is just as vibrant with it as it is without it. This screen protector only cost $3 with free shipping when you sign up for Prime on Amazon which i suggest you do because its free for a month and ou cn just cancel it before that.
Heres the link
amazon.com/gp/product/B005KGBCFG/ref=cm_cr_thx_view
To take off that preinstalled shatter glass i sugest ou use something thin and sharp because it's on there pretty damn good. I used a razor blade and started picking at the bottom left of the phone right by the back button and had it off in no time.
Now when installed the Nu-clear screen protector clean the phone with some windex and a paper napkin then wipe off the phone with the microfiber cleaning cloth and blow away all the dust. Then when applying a screen protector i suggest you peel it off just a little so you can align it up with the top of the phone. Once lined up start pulling back the tab little by little while pushing a card(credit card or whatever) to make sure no air bubbles pop up.
This video pretty much shows you what i mean.
youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=euIPR-yTZrE
Hope i helped because that preinstalled shatter glass was just annoying and was a magnet for scratches!

So there is a layer that comes installed on the phone already? Nice to know I can remove it because I've scratched it up pretty good and I've only had the phone about two weeks. I haven't even really done anything to scratch it either, so I was actually a little upset when I started noticing them.

Be careful, if you remove that layer you need to put on some other sort of screen protector. If you don't you'll notice that if your hands are moist at all the touch screen won't work properly.

I've used two types, the one that came with the otterbox encasement, which turned out horribly.. had a bubble within the screen protector almost immediately, but that could've been my fault, but i had to re apply it several times, which only seemed to multiply the air trapped between the screen and protector. And I used the standard AT&T screen protectors, which are amazing, they're thick, anti smudge, clear, and since they're pretty thick, they don't bubble at all, really easy to apply too. but it's like 16 bucks for 2.
.. and i just realized that op might just be advertising.
me too man, i smell a salesman.. hehe
I bought the phone and shop gave me a cheap screen protector... now I have smudges of fingerprints all over (oily hands).. but then, still better than naked.
Guess I'll change to matte (anti-fingerprint) type after this. Anyone using matte? Is it good on xplay?
It comes with a protector on it, there really is no need to replace it. My screen is perfectly bright with it on. I clean my screen off a few times a day with a little cloth, looks brand new after every wiping. (im also SUPER careful with my phone, and I hate fingerprints, OCD)
It isn't even a screen protector it's ah shatter glass

Just want to clarify that :>>>> the touch screen is whether made of Glass or Plastic? In case of Glass, it's no need to add a screen protector and remove the pre-install screen protector can improve the screen quality and touch response.
Pls advise.
Good screen protector
I purchased a pair and its fantastic so far. Instillation is a bit of a problem if you are impatient like me.
I recommend, its cheap and reliable. plus you get 2 for the low price of 3 bucks

It's a glass screen, but not gorilla glass like on the iPhone. Hence the pre-installed shatterproof film
