Anyone know a place to get some screen protectors for my Wizard.
I am based in UK if that helps
Thanks
Scott
I have ordered Brando from http://shop.brando.com.hk/ and I`m pretty pleased, look good and protects as well...
Today my Brando
"Ultra Clear - Protector Plus"
arrived. Im very pleased with it. It fits perfectly and looks very clear. Using the stylus works almost as without a the screen protector.
Conclusion: highly recommended
Also got from Brando - except I mucked up the install and now need to clean the cover. Any ideas on how best to the clean it as it does say its washable - just not how.

Brando Rocks
I've used a Brando screen protector for about 2 years on my old Sony Clie - Excellent quality, I do think it's the best on the market.
Worth the money
Brando application problems
I ordered a Brando and it came nice and quick. It looks like a quality item, but it was a b*gger to fit. I still haven't got it right. It kept going on at an angle and wouldn't lay flat due to comin into contact with the screen surround. I had to take it off, rinse all the [email protected] off it that had got stuck whilst I was faffing around and dry it each time. It took the best part of an hour and it still has fluff under it and it still isn't in the right place.
It works perfectly though. I can't criticise the thing itself just the application and/or my ability to do it.
Ho hum. :?
Definetly Brando...Ultra Clear.
I had a couple of them that I used with my HTC Magician and they fit perfectly on the HTC Wizard.
Sorry...

I'm surprised too. I think these are the best. Fit perfectly and if installed properly you cannot even tell they are on.
I never tried the AG (Anti-Glare)
I use the C2 ones (clear) and I think they are great.
i have the AG on my jam and tried installing the C2 on my kjam last night, but its so thin i tore it

wow... that sux. i know it's thin, but didn't think that thin. actually i bought the c2 two pack and i messed up the first one too. got so dirty i didn't even want to clean it. i hate installing any type of screen protector.
i got one of these, it slips under the corner of the screen surround rather than sticks to the touch screen, seems great and robust and very cheap!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5853656667&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT
I have used the ones they sell in Ebay. They are cheap but at the same time the quality suck. I have used my MDA for 3-4 days after i had put in the protector and it has scratches all over it. Also each tap with the stylus leaves a small mark on the protector.
I am going with the Pocket PC techs windshield. I think investing 25-30 bucks for my 400 buck MDA is worth it.
Peace
anyone know of any uk sellers for the pocketpctechs or Brando ones?
A comparision of many different screen protectors

take a look at this site. It gives a review of Brando, PPCtech, nushield etc.

I have been using the PocketPC Techs WriteSHIELDs for about 3 years now, and I absolutely love them. Just got a wizard and immediately bought the Anti-Glare screen protectors from PPCTechs. They're fantastic. I've tried the clear ones they have, and don't like them as much. The colors might be a little better, but I've gotten really used to the "pencil on paper" feel of the stylus on the screen with the AG ones. I agree with everything they said in the article at Brighthand about them. Granted, I've never tried another brand, but these have the highest level of recommendation from me...

Agreed - the only other brand I've ever used were Martin Fields, which were also very nice. (I used those on a P900 though - different device altogether).
Looking at some cheap screen protectors for the Hermes. I have seen these are on eBay at £1.99 for 6. The seller offers "buy 2, get 1 free", so including postage (£1.99 to UK) it works out at 18 screen protectors for £3.98.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290056291809 (or search for item 290056291809).
But are they any good? Or would I be wasting my money?
The general rule is: if a manufacturer sells screen protectors in packs of several, it means the mfg himself does not think it will last for a long time.
Martin Field Overlay Plus lasted 3 years on my SE P800, and wasn't need to be replaced when P800 retired.
Treo 650 screen protectors
I use the one made for the 650 from Palm. Works well, fits well. Lasted well on my Treo.
the multi packs arent any good...and i think you'll be wasting you money...

You may be right. They arrived yesterday, and seem to be of quite good quality. The one I have tried appears to work OK (i.e., it doesn't affect my use of the screen, and it does put a protective layer over the glass screen).
However, the ones which I received are just a little bit too small to cover the screen (about 2.5mm too short and 1mm too narrow), so I will be contacting the seller about this.
I'm not actually worried about how long they last. Even if I have to replace the protector every month, I have enough to last me for 18 months - and I'll certainly be replacing my Vario 2 for a new toy before then!
Then again, I'm still not convinced that I need a screen protector. Before the Vario 2, I have had an XDA Exec, XDA IIi, XDA II and more iPaqs than I can remember. I never used a screen protector on any of them, and I have never ever had any screen problems.
You can get exim spucs off ebay for £3. I highly recommend these.

are screen protectors even really needed?

if you dont mind crying when you scatch your screen, then no!
I can only agree with the other posts I used the cheaper screen protectors in the past, thinking its ok when they scratch I'll just replace it, but it's true you get what you pay for, I have just paid £6 for a single protector and well it's brilliant, it sucked it's self to the screen No bubbles At All, Feels better to use the screen and up to yet not scratches.
ShieldZone's invisibleSHIELD looks really good. Pay once, protect forever.

Have ordered and awaiting arrival.
One of the first accessories I like to buy for any new device I get is a replacement (fits in OEM silo) Pen stylus. I know the Touch Cruise is new, but has anyone seen any stylii that are pens and fit in the device?
TIA!
Hi - the TC comes with a spare or Expansys(UK) are selling some here:
http://www.expansys.com/a.aspx?i=159608&atype=Stylii
Though showing estimate delivery of 9 days from today...
Thanks for the reply. However, I am looking for a combination pen-stylus that fits into the existing silo slot of the Cruise. The link you provided was for stock replacement stylus which is not a pen.
Oops. Sorry. Will post again if I find what you need.
doubt you will find one, the size of the stylus on the touch cruise would surely be too small to fit a combination pen/stylus

Is such a stylus available for the Artemis? If so then it would NOT fit the Touch Cruise because the bit of black plastic at the end is a different shape but it would demonstrate that such a thing is possible because the overall dimensions of the two styli are identical. (I just slid my Artemis stylus into my Touch cruise and the diameter fits perfectly, the overall lengths are identical, and the only reason the Artemis stylus won't push fully into the TC is because the plastic bit at the end is longer relative to the overall stylus length compared to the TC stylus so it fouls the edge just at the last 5mm or so of travel into the device.)

haven't got mine at the moment but how thick is the stylus? 2mm, cant see how a mechanism for a 3 in 1 would fit in such a size

Definitely bigger than 2mm. I just held it up against a tape measure and the diameter looks to be just a shade over 3mm, probably about 3.2mm.

still think its not thick enough even at 4 mm, have you ever seen anything like this that is less than 1cm+

I have gotten (in the past) a 3-in-1 for every device I have had except for the collapsible KJAM stylus. One will become available for the Polaris. The stylus is not that much different from other devices.
Re my previous message, this will almost certainly NOT fully push home into the receiver on a TC (because of the different profile of the black plastic thing on the end) but it IS an existence proof that such a device is possible within the form factor of a TC stylus.

That's what we need. I am sure some US distributors will pick this up soon. HTC just needs to get the damn device out there in more quantities.
They will deliver to the us but it wont be cheap, probably about $60

Ouch. I love my pen-stylus combo's but not for 60 bucks. I'll wait 'til a US distributor comes along.
If i see anything ill let you know, am i right in thinking that the Polaris stylus is the same as the orbit 2 stylus
that looks sweet...can't wait for it to be avail. in the US!
i'm sure by this summer when the TC starts to become more popular over here we will start seeing alot cooler accessories for it.
It's just a matter of time...the waiting game def. sucks tho

If an Orbit 2 stylus is the same as an Orbit 1 then no, the Polaris stylus will not push home fully into the Orbit housing. Read my previous posts in this thread (including the one on page 1 of the thread) for details. If Orbit 2 stylus is different to Orbit 1 then I don't know.

Wow I love that!
Does anyone know if Zagg's invisible shield or Bodyguardz' protective film for european Touch Pro 2 will fit ATT Tilt2? Thanks
I had a similar question. I have the EU version, unbranded, and am wondering if the form factor is the same as the AT&T model. The button placement on the front looks to be identical. Can you post a picture of your battery cover?
Here we go. Looks like EU TP2, except PTT button.
Thanks for the pics. You're right, it looks like my European model. I like the color of yours better though The form seems to be the same on the backside too. Hope someone can speak to your original question for you.
My Tilt2 is arriving today and my Zagg is arriving in a couple days, so if you can wait that long and no one has supplied a sufficient response yet, I will let you know how it fits.

That would be great! Anyway, i decided to experiment a little and ordered the full set from Bodyguardz. Will let you know as well how it works
I got a rubberized hard plastic shell designed for the European model and fits the Tilt 2 quite nicely. The only drawback is there is no cutout for the PTT button. Other than that I cannot find anything wrong with the European case being used with the Tilt 2.
Thanks for the info. That should indicate that on the outside at least the two shells are the same, with the exception of the PTT button anyway ( and maybe a forward facing camera on the EU model?). I'm thinking that the screen savers and clear vinyl "cases" will be mostly interchangeable between the two types as well.
Saw this posted on another forum. I don't have any experience with this brand myself, but looks familiar to the Zagg product and it is specifically for the Tilt2:
http://www.clearprotector.com/atandt-htc-tilt-2-extended-protector.html
If memory serves this is the company that I bought a similar case from for my Wizard. Thanks for the link. I've been using the case that came in my box and like it a lot. It's slim and provides sufficient protection. This protector should complement it well, and allow me to leave the phone out of the case while driving without having to worry so much about it sliding around and getting scratched up.
I just ordered one (extended protector), for my unbranded phone and will let you know what I think of it when I get it, as well as what they're customer service is like.
These cases can be tough to get on, and you have to accept the feel of the edges of the material when handling the device after installation. But they do provide a good grip to help prevent the slippery little buggers that our phones are from jumping out of your mitts. And the material is tough to say the least. Once they're on right, they stay put and do the job.
I just looked on the bodyguardz website and saw that they have a kit for the Tilt2 now. I should have it later this week. I will post updates once I put it on.
Don't mean to hijack......
Don't mean to hijack the thread but do any of you use either of these products with a leather pouch/sleeve like an EaseCase. I'm wondering if there will be any peeling issues when sliding the device in and out of the case.
Received the TP2 kit today, just applied it to the phone. Came out ok, but the only thing that doesn't match is the front camera hole, so I left the original protector on; and I had to cut off a small peice of protector from the side for the PTT button. Probably I will try another set from somebody else.
How did they work out?

Did you guys have any success?
I just got a invisible shield for my tilt 2, just for the screen. It's designed for the OEM TP2, because mine had the tiny hole on the top right for the front facing camera, which the Tilt2 does not have. Other than that, perfect fit.
I like the new sponge that comes in the kit, easier to use than spraying the screen with the wetting agent.
For anyone interested in bodyguardz, now is a good time to order. They already include the 25% discount for Christmas and if you use coupon 155A6 you get another 20% off!!

Does The Isheild cover the chrome painted rim around the screen? This is what gets damaged most readily (I Know I have dropped mine out of my pocket while ridding my bike on Highway 50 in Orlando, FL.).
Anyone please reply who has a Tilt2 & Zagg Isheild installed? Does it cover the chromium = )
No, it doesn't cover the chrome. For me the screen protector also didn't fit quite right. In the process of removing and reapplying it, I have now managed to stretch it out (which necessitated cutting around the speaker so I could hear) and got all sorts of fingerprints and whatnot under it, making it useless in sunlight.
Many of the major malls in the U.S. have "kiosks" that will do a custom install.
My buddy had his ENTIRE TP wrapped, including the chrome.
I wanted to make a new thread, but decided not to clutter the board and instead ask in a couple threads for some pictures. Can anyone with the Gadgetshieldz for the ATT Tilt 2 post some hi-res images so I can see what it looks like and how it fits around the corners and sides? Thanks
Is it me or is everything for the tilt 2 expensive and HARD TO FIND or un available. I love silicon cases right, so I wanted to buy one for my new tilt 2, CANNOT FIND ONE ANYWHERE! I found one for a T-Mobile touch pro 2 but it was black, not fitted for my device, ugly and EXPENSIVE! I tried to look for a spare stylus just in case, on Ebay I found ONE for $15!!!!!!! Tried to get a spare battery cover just in case something happened to mine, CANNOT FIND ONE ANYWHERE! Not on ebay, amazon or anywhere. I ended up ordering the european touch pro's battery cover for $20!! Batteries for the tilt 2 are hard to come across and are as much as $50 for one. I have never had so much trouble finding accessories for a phone as popular as this that is used on 4 MAJOR carriers. The pure, which is only supported on At&t has silicon cases in any color for maximum $5. Battery backs for $5-7 and the other accessories are even cheaper. Does anyone have an explanation for this, sorry for my rage I just need to express my anger towards this predicament.

The issue stems from the fact that each carrier's version of the TP2 is just slightly different enough that many accessories will only work on one or two of them...so that presents the obvious challenge to manufacturers of trying to guess which models it's worth producing compatible accessories (like cases) for.
Boxwave does carry a line of silicone-like cases for the Tilt2, but I don't know if the styling will suit you.
I feel your pain. I want a rubber case for mine and I had thought I found one on ebay (it was the only one listed). I decided to send the seller a message just to make sure that it would fit a Tilt2. He said no, it was just for the TP2, EVEN THOUGH TILT2 WAS IN THE TITLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It does seem like everything is for the TP2 and not the Tilt2. But that's okay, I still love the phone.
Do you think the european touch pro 2 battery back will look okay on the tilt 2? I ordered it but haven't gotten it yet, but on the plus side the annoying PTT button wont be their (YAY FOR ME!). I hope it works..... I also hope my dream of silicon cases will come true
Eh, the PTT button is decidedly ungay. use Rhodium Keyboard Config to map it to do awesome **** like rotate screen on single click, disconnect data on double click, toggle wifi on triple, and bluetooth toggle on hold...
Really? Well, if I could find a Tilt 2 battery cover i'd use it. Otherwise not an option for me....
I'm quite sick of the whole situation myself
I totally feel your pain... and Hell, I live in L.A. where you'd think you should be able to find damn near anything on a shelf somewhere, but not a chance. Not even the AT&T stores here carry anything. If you have a Blackberry or an iPhone, then you have more choices than brains, but for anything HTC, good luck. And sorry, I'm not keen on shopping for some things online and accessories for this phone with so many variables is one of them. Someone is missing out on $$$
Okay, I have succeded a huge feat that only people's wild imaginations could think up. I have completed a challange so difficult, gorrillas and llamas will be terrified to death to think of the trouble and harshness I went through to complete this amazing acomplishment. This is no longer a figment of your imagination but a reality! I have found..... A SILICONE CASE FOR THE TOUCH PRO 2! I was searching in the Amazon for the mysterious silicone case when suddenly it popped out of no where! I found green, black, purple, pink, red, blue, and any other color of the rainbow. I was tempted to attack the deal and was just about to finish and proudly show my trophy when.... Amazon doesn't support paypal.... Oh well. Just a little over exaggeration. I did find them on amazon.com but no paypal support so ima have to wait
This site has silicone and rubberized for the tilt 2. http://www.talkietech.com/athtcti2ac.html
Where? The one I found was made for the t-mobile version and is $6.
If you're willing to do a little trimming (PTT button), then most of the Touch Pro 2 plastic, rubberized and silicone cases can be used.

OOh, put it as the title, put a space between every 3 letters or so. I dont have a ppt button anymore, gave it up for a new battery cover.
