Can you recommend a suitable screen shield for my Hermes? I need a kind of a crystal surface (like some Notebooks nowadays have).

Do you have bubbles under the protection? Do you see the protection or is your shield really invisible ?
For my first two devices I used Brando anti-glare protectors (shop.brando.com.hk) and was very happy. It was a couple of years ago though, so they may have changed since.
But whatever you do, don't buy Proporta!
Their protectors are too small for the screen of the TyTN, and when (on their recommendation) you return the protector they will not send you a replacement. And when you tell them how unhappy you are with the situation they just stop answering your emails.

If applied properly & very carefully, then there are no bubbles. I have none, and it's transparent.
I use exim screen protector. I can definitely recommend it to anyone.
i agree with tiatrop,
i use the exim SPUC screen protectors on all my devices.
you can peel them off and reapply them,
the instruction says you can even wash them, but i've yet to try it.
and any bubbles when putting them on, can easily be pushed out.
I agree with bamse, I've been using Brando for years, I did try another brand on my C500 a couple of years back, they didn't come up to scratch. I'm using on my herm, no probs no bubble (you need to spend a little time carefully applying).
Boxwave has some good screen protectors. I'm using their crystal clear on my 8525 now and had the anti-glare on my HP iPAQ.

I washed mine once. It fell on the carpet so you can imagine the things that got stuck there! Damaged the corner a little bit but it was completely reapplyable, and I managed to get all the dust out with scotch-tape. Hence my recommendation.
Wow, thank you all for you recommendations. I definitely check them out.
But is there a way to apply a SP, without having bubbles? What you mean exactly with "carefuly"?
Do you use credit cards for that? I red that credit cards for appling are an evil thing.
I guess it's tall order to say make a youtube tutorial, haha...

I actually had this on my previous 8525 that I had to send back for warranty replacement. It is a booger to put on..took me a good half hour to do it right. The cutout pcs are not all exactly perfect but fit good enough. I really like it. It held up very well, gave the phone a slick glossy finish and made for good traction when I would set my phone down on my center console in my truck.(previously if I tried that it would slide(actually fly) off the vinyl covered console if I hit the brakes too hard or turned a corner too fast... with the Shield on there it never slipped. I am going to order another one now for this warranty replacement as well..just been waiting to make sure this device didnt fail before installing another shield!

wouldnt a credit card or anything similar work?
I've been using screen protectors for some time now on my previous and current PDA's and phones; HP has a nice system of protectors that have grids on the removable side to assist in visually getting the best fit. Would never use my 8525 without one... and yes, anything like an old credit card, cut to the right size, will work to get air bubbles out.
But thanks to this thread, I've now ordered the Bodyshield; if it's all it's claims to be, AND with a lifetime guarantee, it should be worth the $24.95.

Hi All, since a lot of us are getting the shift now, i guess it's time to think about which screen protector you are going to use, personally i always enjoy the Martin Field Overlay Screen protector, but they don't seems to have one for the shift yet, what do you guys think? found any good screen protector you are going to use?
Hi,
My shift was delivered with a screen protector, I have placed it on the first day and it looks really good. There was no brand on it, so I cannot tell about the manufacturer.
So far I am vey satisfied with it.

yes, i am aware of that, it just i have been using HTC for more then 7 years now, past experience told me i better wait for better screen protector, because once you put it the HTC one, it's so difficult to remove it, and if you do try to remove it and swap it with something else, you leave a mark on the screen, some user even experience bend and uneven screen because the original one is just so sticky.
There don't seem to be many screen protectors specifically for the Shift yet, I'm sure there will be soon. I fitted the included one but not very well, I managed to get a couple of dust specks under it.
I've ordered some generic 7" protectors from Durasec http://www.durasec.com/catalog/index.php?language=en
I also ordered one of their liquid nanotech screen protector kits, don't know much about it but it appears to be a liquid which you spray onto the screen to form a seal. Should be interesting...
Is it neccessary?
Hi,
please, give me an answer to a stupid question?
Is it really necessary to apply a screen protector. Why don't the manufacturers do it in the first place.
What are the advantages, what the disadvantages. Okay, protection comes to mind as an advantage, but shouldn't the original screen be resilient enough?
I'd really like to here some informative opinions.
I have been using a HTC Vario II for some time now without any protection and I can't detect any scratches.
Settembrini
Has anyone managed to find a decent screen protector yet?
Pantaloonie - how was the durasec one?
I've received them, but haven't got round to removing the original and trying them out. The liquid one is a bit strange, apparently you spray it on the screen then spread it with the included cloth, and it forms a protective layer.... or something. Think I'll be testing that on a cheaper device first!

I've got the original on but I have a scratch on the screen and wanted to remove it to see if its just the screen protector or the actual screen that is scratched. Have tried in vain to get at it to peel it off...
Just managed to get a corner - it came off no problem and thankfully the scratch isnt there! Just need a new protector now, my OCD is starting to kick in. Let me know how you get on with the Duratecs! Cheers

I still haven't tried either of the Durasec ones I bought, as it seems I'll be needing dynamite to remove the original one. It does not want to come off.

I'd leave it on if I were you - I only took mine off as it had a hair underneath and I was losing sleep over it. Took a while but once you get a hold of a little corner it lifts off no problem. I've emailed HTC to ask if they can send me another but I'm notn holding my breath.
Would stay away from the standard Duratec - waste of £8. Let me know if you try the liquid one though!
Hi -
Anyone used the liquid Duratec shield on the Shift yet?

Duratec Crap
Hi,
today I removed the original Screen and tried Duratec, the cheap screen protector. They have also got a hightec version or something like that.
Crap! Crappier! Crappiest sheet of **** you can think of.

But which one is really recommendable?
Thanks!

How did you remove the original screen protector without damaging the display? What is the problem with the Duratec screens?
Hi,
removal was difficult, but I did it. I don't know the exact English words. I used this sticky tape which you wrap up parcels with, tape is of a brownish colour. That I stuck onto the screen protector until it lifted in one corner.
Duratec is thin and cheap material and I guess it is not possible to get it on the screen without lots of bubbles.
Now I have ordered a protector from Brando, was that the name?
We will see.
S.
I really like the anti glare screen protector from www.pocketpctechs.com . I use it with my both my SMT5800 cellphone and my Motion Tablet PC. I'm hoping I can get one sized for the Shift. But my Shift is not here yet so I don't know the size. I can't even tell I have a screen protector with this brand.
screen protector abuse
Hi,
any news about the "best" protector.
In the meantime I have abused 4 or 5. Duratec's cheap ones aren't of any other use than to clean the screen from dust particles.
I tried the Brando "ultra clear" was that the name? Relativ easy to apply, but in the end I fiddled with it too long. Had to peel it off.
Next I tried Brando "plus". Easily to apply, but foil slipped underneath the edge of the screen, when lifting it up to clean off a piece of fluff the protectors edge was damaged.
But the last one is really easy to apply. But, but, they or the distributers just declared them to be for the Shift, originally they are for the eee, how many eeeees were there?
So the screen protector doesn't really fit. At the edges there the foil doesn't cover about 1 or 2 millimeters of the Shift's screen.
Maybe somtime soon they will sell a protector that is for the Shift.
Please, if anyone has got the ultimate protector mention it here:
perfect fit and easily to apply would be nice features.

Hi,
Anyone had any issues with Martin Shields Screen protector?
I bought one from Blue Unplugged and installed it and must say it was perfect. But after a week of use it's scratched to bits and really spoils the look of the phone. And I am very gentle with it - not heavy handed.
Will have to replace

If you mean Martin Fields, I have been using one for just over a month on mine, Went on straight after removing the shipping protection, Not a single problem, Although I did have to peel it a little to get a lump of dust out.
I got one yesterday and totally arsed up fitting it!
Its now sitting on my desk covered in finger prints and dust. Its funny cause I manage to fit the £3 for 5 ones no problem, but as soon as I'm faced with the pressure of a £12 one I wreck it!!!
I had a Martin Fields one on my Diamond and it was great. Lasted for months with minimal scratches. Definately the best quality protector I've seen. Just a shame they don't give you tabs to hold whilst installing it.
I might try washing my new one like it says on their website and give it another go!

Sorry, yes, my mistake. It is the Martin Fields one - I can't understand why it's so scratched unles I got a rip off one. I bought it because everyone has such a high opinion of it.

I must admit, I buy Martin Fields for the same reason, I have used them since I had The original XDA, on Tomtoms etc and never had a problem, So you may have got a rip off one.
I went from Invisishield to Martin Fields screen protector. The Invis was just too soft and the stylus would drag or stick.
Martin Fields went on fine, fits almost perfect and so far only has one or two marks but nothing serious and hardly noticable. Thats after about a months use.

Yes they are washable. I use one one my KAISER. No scratches over one year of heavy use. After you wash it dry it with compressed air can (can buy it in computer parts stores). Hold the protector from the sides carefully, do not put any fingerprints on it. Remember which side is down. I washed mine probably three times before I managed to get it right.

Good tip! I was using compressed air to try and blow the dust off the screen before applying it! I'll give it a go tomorrow - hopefully I'll manage this time!
I have been using Martin Fields for all my PDA, iPAQ h6365, XDA Flame, iPAQ 612, and now the Touch HD. Seen some scratching on iPAQ 612 but the rest never.
Today I received a screen protector in the mail (came free with a case), so I decided to change out the old one that came pre installed on the X10. Of course once everything was removed and when I started to apply the new one, all of the dust in the house was magically attracted to the new one, rendering it useless.
I'm now stuck without a screen protector, and have growing paranoia that my screen is going to get messed up. Looks like I'll have to order a new one.
Until then, does anyone have an X10 with the protector removed? Has your screen scratched after extended normal use?
I'll probably be stuck without one for a week so I hope it lasts.
Truth : I suspect you won't have much success, if any, finding someone who's successfully scratched their X10 screen. There is one user however, who's succeeded in cracking the screen -- I remember having read a thread about it

Semi related: Are there any scratch test videos for the X10?
Multiple scratches and a chip. Still don't know how I managed that...
haha lol. I scratched mine within 3 weeks ... I have now one big scratch and a few little scratches blegh.
Are you guys sure you really scratched the glass or is it just the original screen protector? The original screen protector scratches very easily. That is why I removed mine and replaced it with something better.
mine is still mint, I work in bean processing plant(dusty), spend most of my days off at the beach with the kids. That's no proof that it won't get scratched one day but I doubt it will make people think less of me if i have a scratch on my screen

I'm pretty sure they all have them stock. Take a closer look at the lower part of the screen near the buttons. You should be able to see it there. it is an exact fit protector so it's almost impossible to see that it's there.

Another quick question:
I've heard that some of the better screen protectors can actually hide previous scratches once they are applied, is that actually true?
I've ordered both the clear coat screen protector and also that free stealthguard protection thing, so I'm hoping that one of those will be sufficient

I put one of the free stealthguards on mine Saturday. I only used he screen guard not the full body though. It was a little difficult to get the oem screen protector off but only until you get it started. Once it starts peeling it comes off fairly easy.

wow just found it, i never noticed it LOL, it's a thick screen protector, sometimes when texting i noticed the phone sometimes missed keys wonder if it was because of the protector.
so can anyone confirm that there phone has been scratched without the OEM protector?
I think that extra thick shield is supposed to act as a "shatter resistant protector" so that if you do happen to smash the glass you don't get shards and splinters everywhere. It is much thicker than any screen protector i've seen before and taking it off will ruin it.
I took my oem one off and now have a deep scratch , not a clue how I did it. If I could go back I would definitely use protection lol. They may not be as pretty as the bare screen but they work.
Phantomskinz just released their tf skinz w00t. I really like how smooth their screen protector is and how the carbonfiber chromatics look on. My evo shift.
Too bad they don't have a matching set for the dock or id be tempted to get the chromatics (maybe even the white one this time around) again. Guess I'm just gonna get the screen protector for now
Anyway, really recommend it, specially if you think the tf screen produces too much friction.

Looks like the Chromatics are $5 cheaper on Amazon.
Black Carbon Fiber: http://amzn.to/lP0lxm
White Carbon Fiber: http://amzn.to/k6dLT8
Didn't know they sold via amazon as well.
Either way...I just contacted them about skins for the dock and they said they don't have any plans for it. Not really interested in a half dressed tablet so I'm just gonna go with the screen protector.
Now to decide wether to get my tf replaced due to a single spec of dust under the screen...before I put the screen protector on.

Basically what happened was I got my skinomi carbon fiber silver
a week ago and my ASUS Transformer sadly had to go through an RMA
due to my speakers dead =/
I already applied the skin and now i have to remove them due to RMA.
I told skinomi this and they were able to resolve this issue and send me a REPLACEMENT for free.
Now thats great company right there and they should see my business from now on.
I didn't even had to return an old one or pay any shipping or deduction fees.

i noticed that as well with my evo shift. when applying the skin, trying to remove all the air bubbles, i might have pressed to hard on certain areas, and those parts of the skins are now a bit stressed.
that the only thing keeping me from getting it. although i wonder if that's the compromise to prevent the orange-peel effect some other skins have, and phatomskinz doesn't.
I just talked to phantomskinz and they say the protect does not reduce glare and that is one of the big things I want to improve. Can anyone confirm this?

It doesn't reduce glare. It is as shiny (the screen) as it is naked.
For those wondering, the carbon skin (and probably the clear one as well, although im not sure) is 9 pieces.
I attached some pictures of it installed. Sorry the pictures are not too clear. I had to reduce the size due to the upload limit for attachments. I can take the pictures again if someone wanted better ones.
wow..$35 dollars for stickers? these companies are minting money.
@skapur, well, it's not just a sticker. it comes with a clear screen protected, and the "sticker" is made of vinyl, and cut for the device. that being said, yea, way overpriced.

yes please. mind taking shots of the seams? also, do you have the dock? how does it look without matching bottoms? would you recommend it?

By seams, do you mean where the pieces end?
I just got the dock this week. It is a little snug, but I dont know if it is because of the skin+screen protector because I never got to try the dock without it on. The dock did leave a line of imprint on the bottom of the screen protector where the docking "v" or "u" slides over the tablet.
I think it looks a little funny without the dock having a matching skin, but I have gotten used to it.
Ive had the skin+ screen protector on for around 2 weeks now and nothing has peeled or anything. The only thing is that they cut around the speakers so the skin is very thin on the sides of it (on the screen and backside side) and it has folded inward. But not a major problem for me.
Hi all, been using OP phones for a while now, and since the 3, it has been really impossible to find a good glass screen protector worth the money, as we all well know.
I have then gave up on them and have decided to try a film type, since I take good care of my phones and really never drop them.
So I usually don't take the time to write about that, but really I feel like I should say good things about this one brand (first time using those "wet application" protectors, so the same may apply to other brands, I'm just happy with this one on first try).
First, they do free shipping anywhere in the world. The protector and small accessories come in a simple hard back enveloppe. I think that's good for us, as well as smart.
Second, and linked to the first point, they have a good customer support. My problem was that when entering my shipping address, I could not select Hong Kong as a "country". So I emailed them asking about this, and within a few hours, I had a nice reply and the customer rep had activated HK in the drop down.
Then the product itself.
It is not too hard to apply, really. Follow the steps and you'll be good. They recommand to wait 8-12 hours to turn on the phone again, but I need my phone as an alarm clock, so I waited like 2 hours and all is well. All in all, doing it in the evening, it took maybe 30 mins to install (with waiting to dry up a bit).
The film sticks well, even on the edges of the screen, and it is hard to tell it is there (well, under low angle light, you can notice a very slight "orange peel" effect). On the other hand, touch feeling is really as if there was nothing there.
I tested with the slim official OnePlus cases, as well as the official carbon bumper case, and no problem to notice at all. I also have a Spigen case, but I don't dare trying it, it looks like it "crawls" up a bit much on the edges of the screen. I expect that any slim cases, or those that are not too tight on the edges won't be a problem.
I also ordered one for my wife's S8+, and have installed it as well. Will post pictures this evening when she gets home and I can use her phone for pictures, so you can see how it looks. (for her, I took a full body coverage, and I'll post some pictures of that, so you can see how it goes, and how it looks on different phones).
So all in all, I liked the company attitude, the price (8 GBP for my screen only coverage for OP5, and 12 GBP for S8+), free delivery and of course the product itself.
Let me know if you have questions, I know I personnaly am always looking for info before trying those protectors. God knows I've wasted enough money on many useless ones :crying:
Edit :
have added pics so you can see how it looks (the slight orange peel effect), and also how it goes really fully to the edges
Woow it looks really good!

It does, yes.
I've been using that for a few days now and it's really hard to tell it's there.
Also something I noticed with usage is that it's very fingerprint resistant. Maybe better than the naked screen in that respect.
Can't really comment on long term durability but at least it's very good at the moment.
Having a discount of 25% today i took the risk and ordered it
Oh cool, hope it'll work for you as well as it does for me
I have a spigen case too, you sure you don't want to try it ahah?

Nice! Thank you I'll see to buy this screen protector, nillkin's one is really too small, cutting the screen is annoying :crying:
Are we talking about the neo hybrid case? ;p

It's very exact fit lol, so the protector must be very well aligned. But the protector is so thin that it just stays under the lips of the case.

Yep
I personnaly have the rugged armor
Can't say about that one!
I ordered it long time ago. Haven't tried it yet. I have nilkin glass now. Since I want to protect whole screen and I have a otterbox case... I will apply film soon. Fingers crossed
Ordered one today, got tired of every single tempered glass protector that has adhesive only on the sides and lets the dust go under the screen.. Let's hope this is as good as advertised!
Yeah, let us know if it works well for you guys too
Ordered! Waiting on shipment
Mine arrived, pretty simple package but it made its way to Hamburg Germany without problems :laugh:
Will apply it when in clean surrounding ;p
