Hey all.
1 month ago i bought the M.F screen protector, i heard it is one of the best screen protectors for the HD.
well 1 month, and i am very disappointed, it got scratches from nothing!
the screen looks and feels like there is sand on it, if you know what i mean. i Barely used it.
and its pretty expansive - 17$.
the funny thing is, that even with the stylus pen, when i was scrolling on the screen some times it was scratching it!
the stylus is not damaged so that it could hurt the screen.
im looking for a better SCREEN PROTECTOR.
can someone give me any suggestion?
very strange, i've used a martin fields protector since my HD arrived in February and there isn't a mark on mine
the protectore looks like a mess...all little scratches. when im using the stylus you can really feel them and hear it...
even the old screen protector i got feels and looks better than MF..
well nothing that i can do really about it, have any suggestions for another SP?
I personally have used Clarivue screen protectors on all my phones for a long time. They aren't scratch proof, but pretty resistant. They cost like 12 bux and you get a pack of 2, so they're not that expensive.
The fitment is perfect and a great way to hide scratches
ill check it out too..tnx
At least for me, Martin Fields, are the best ones. I've using for a long time in all my devices. Good quality, good service.
How can I said? Please, be in touch with Martin Fields by e-mail and I sure they will replace it.
Me too, mine looks like it's been shaped with a tin can opener around the top edge, covered in scratches after a week, looks genuine, bought of ebay uk.
Well.
some peoples say they are one of the bests, some people has the same problems, maybe we got ourselfs a fake? can that be possible?
or maybe factory defect?
even friends of mine says thos shields are the bests...thats strange,
in what kind of cases you got your Screen protectors?
mine was inside one that you have to cut to use it..it looked kinda cheap, but who knows
does sound like the people with poor experiences have bought fakes as my martin fields, as stated above, has been excellent (like the one i had on my N95 beforehand).
I bought mine from morpeth mobiles in the UK, as I never really trust ebay sellers
i bought mine from the MARTIN FIELDS main site...
here are some pics of the SP on my HD.
http://yfrog.com/5fimg0537nj
http://yfrog.com/5iimg0536lj
thats after i cleaned the screen with special cleaning material...that i use for LCD screens
look at the scratch in the middle, its huge, cause from a key.
the SP suposed to be with a protection from thos kind of scratches as i know...i barely touched with the key on the screen
nevermind removed
I also have scratches on my Martin Fields screen.
It's ridiculous because I keep my HD in a special mobile-case and then in my bag. I don't put it in pockets or with keys.
It's also delicately handled so it's ridiculous that it has a quite clear scratch mark.
Really very disappointing.
yea i told myself thats the last time im buying them...
the next is ZAGG or brando, they look great.
My MF protector also has lots of scratches on it. I bought it from their main site so it can't be fake. Am sure it says also that they have high scratch resistance when they clearly do not. They are expensive. Do you think if I complain they will send me another one? Even my protector that came in the HTC box was better and also a better flush fit. The MF one is shorter.
you right
the MF is a bit shorter..
i dont know if they will send you a new one fuz i did not try that my self...
i dont feel like waiting 1-2 weeks for another to come...i dont want another one if they look like that, high scratch resistance they are not..
Dusty Martin Fields
The original HD sheild that came with my HD was too tight a fit to get on properly. It also seemed tough and seemed to make the screen less touch responsive.
So I bought a pair of MF shields for $40 Au.(normally 1 for $30).
When I applied the shield, there must have been a lot of dust in the air, even though it was a very rainy night. (I should vacuum more often.)
I kept getting specs under the shield. I tried using sticky tape to remove the dust, as per instructions but the more I removed and replaced it, the worse it got. In the end I left it in place.
It is a very good shield. Clear, tough but flexible so that the touch response is not noticably affected. It is a perfect fit for the HD, with a 1/2 mm gap around the edge. The dust is visible in a certain light and looks like a lot of random scratches about 1 mm long. Sometimes it really seems scratched up, but it's not. After a couple of months of very heavy stylus use(about 50 reflashes too), the surface is pristine.
One day I will replace it with the second shield and try not to get any dust under it.
Had my CP Armor one from ebay nearly 4 months now, No a single mark on it. Seeing as i quite often drop my phone onto the pavement or road its going pretty well!
Are you sure you removed the second layer off the screen protector?
Well, had my TouchHD about 2 weeks so far and I'm already on my second case.
First one was from HK and was a nice rubberised black plastic thing.
Fitted nicely and seemed to be decent enough quality.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160346407304
However earlier in the week I managed to snap off one of the 4 corner "tags" that clip it shut, dunno how, spose I caught it on something and ballsed it up..
So I ended up buying this set instead.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370239535693&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Silicone rubbery case and a crystal case.
When they say crystal, they really mean plastic but I'm sure you guys knew that already right?
Anyways, whatever its made out of it fits together a lot nicer than the "cheap" case from HK, ok so its not as nice looking but it a much tighter fit for the TouchHD.
I'm actually using the silicon case at the minute as I prefer the rubber feel (actually that doesn't sound right), and it doesnt slide about in the car..
Both sets come with screen protectors and little cloth things but I havent used either as I'm still on the one that came with the phone, although I might get one of those privacy ones..
Did you check this:
http://www.netimes.com/shop/htc-dopod-htc-touch-hd-blackstone-c-80_612.html
No I didnt, looks good tho, much prefer those sort over the bendy metal neck type.
Purchased the SiKai MicroFiber case for the Lenovo IdeaPad K1 Tablet. Delivery was within the UK and didn't take too long, about 5 days including the weekend.
I paid £15.19 delivered from Ebay UK Item number: 200647561882
The case is made from a strange type of plastic material, it's quite soft and flexible. Am kind of glad rather than faux leather. It is very thin and light, but seems sturdy enough to protect the tablet around the house. I have a 10" netbook bag that I keep it in when travelling to add extra protection.
I like it since it makes it easy to carry around with you and doesn't add bulk to it. I would say the case is lighter than my official HP Touchpad case and similar in strength, although a different material. I can only compare it to the ROOCASE Multi-Angle Leather Case and can say it is much thinner and lighter than that.
There is only one angle that the case allows for, but since it is an Android tablet you can flip the whole thing round and get a lower angle. Its fine for watching at night when streaming video so its not an issue for me.
Price wise the only options available to me at the time were the faux leather ones for about £9.99 or the official case from the Lenovo website coming in at a hefty £34.99 once you add the crazy £10 delivery charge! Not many options in the UK unfortunately but am glad I did some research and found this case.
Other things that you might notice in the photos (sorry poor camera phone ones) there is a place to put a pen, all cut outs seem correct and I love the fact that I can charge it without having the case open, also the hdmi port is free.
Not sure how long it will last but considering the few days usage of it, the minor things like the tablet can slide a tiny bit inside the case so would have preferred a tighter fit (although will try and adjust the velcro again that closes once you slip the tablet inside), the cut out by the front facing button could be a bit lower, and the magnetic clasps to be quite weak I will give this case an 8/10 and can recommend it.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SiKai-MicroFiber-case-Lenovo-IdeaPad-Tablet-K1-case-/200647561882
great case! I bought this sikai case too and actually prefer it more than the original lenovo K1 case.
This covers all ports, and also has a great microfiber texture that is slightly grippy, while remaining smooth to the touch. does not attract dust at all and keeps the K1 snug (if it feels loose, readjust the velcro tighter).
recommended!
Yeh have tightened it a bit more, doesn't move as much.... Glad I chose this over the cheaper cases and the official one which was more than double the cost here in the UK.
Can't believe how dead this forum is for this tablet, going to see if there are anymore forums with more support....
Just got this tab last week and love it so far. Looking for a good case but hate the leather, faux leather look.
Please let me know if you find more forums as I have looked and am surprised how little I've found....
I know of one other decent one, google "lenovo community K1"

Cool will do.
This case is pretty good if you want something thin and light, there are stronger/more protective cases out there but they add bulk and I don't want that since I use this round the house...... Still glad I bought this case and find it better in that respect to the Roocase.....
Thanks, will google what you said.....
Got the SiKai for my TPT. Everyting else looks bulky in comparison. It is extremely thin (I''ve tried a lot of gadget cases over the years), and although it's screamingly vinyl, it doesn't look really cheap since it fits so well. Leather like this might come off as over-the-top (not that I wouldn't probably sucker into that if I could find it). It's got the seam around the edge where it cushions a drop, and the magnetic closure on the flap is a great touch, not too powerful, but it stays closed well enough.
My gripes are with the screen cover flap: it leaves two stripes on my matte screen protector where the fold places rub off the grease I thought I cleaned off last night, it doesn't hold the tablet vertical enough to really use, and it's busy looking on the front. If I had a choice in the design, I would leave off the "stand" capabilities and leave it flat. If it's open, it's really floppy; it would be easier to manage if it were entirely rigid. I might add a hide-able tether & a knob/button so you could stand it up on its other edge more vertically instead.
All in all, for the price I paid (US$26-ish), I'm very happy with it. If Piel Frama comes up with something, though, I might check that out, if only to drool. I still love my old Wizard case, and my Advantage case from them, too. Very lovely, solid product, and they've been keeping customers happy for a long time.
Addendum: After a couple of months with it, mine is holding together just fine. I had to trim a bit of vinyl fringe, butvall vinyl does that ( it frays a bit after it's freshly cut, but after you trim it once, unless it's cut really crooked, you're done). I have noticed that after a bit of stretching from the daily+ in & out I do to use the dock, it's loose enough to partially obscure the rear camera, not to mention trying to take pics with the flap cover is a huge PITA. If I used this camera a lot, I'd be totally fed up with this case. I may also be melting a bigger hole for the speaker (whch is hard-core disappointing to begin with). All in all, though, that's it for my complaints, which is pretty rare for me.I plan on cloud storage sync and a great cam on my next phone to use the tab for pviewing,
To be fair the official HP Touchpad case does the same thing to my Touchpad so it's one of those things.
I use the same case for my Thinkpad Tablet, and it's the best I've encountered so far, albeit with some flaws of it's own: Some of the stitching on the inside of the cover is already beginning to fall apart after ~1 Month of usage :-/
Stitching has been fine on mine, maybe tell the reseller to exchange it?
Wow cool.... but its little bit expensive
I was sent a set of amFilm Premium HD Clear Screen protectors to see how well the work. My last phone was basically used Naked. When I first got it, I put a Zagg on it and had it on for a couple months and got tired of the rubbery feel it had. I remember the day I removed it and it was like Wow, what a nice screen.
I went the rest of the time without a protector and only ended up with one scratch that was hard to find if you didn't know it was there (I knew where it was).
So, new $700 phone... do protect or not. I had already decided to get a case. A co-worker had already dropped his and dinged up the corner before he got a case. I had the case before the phone.
I was thinking of the Glass types like from Spigen, but $30+ is a lot for a screen protector even it it is as good as it is being reported.
The offer to try this brand and style without know who they were before hand was cool.... I unfortunatly got the protector before the phone showed up. It was quickly delivered in a day or two on a Thursday and my phone didn't arrive until the following Tuesday... and its been a really bad week.
On top of that I have a lot of pets... so finding a "clean" area to do this was not easy to find. I ended up doing it at work on my desk. No pets there.
I cleaned the desk really good first, and then the phone before taking anything out.
I used the "Hinge" method. This basically has you line up the protector on the phone and then using special tape they provide, taping down one side to the phone. Then you can lift up the protector, do a final cleaning, remove the first layer and lay it down and it will line right up. Then you use the card it comes with to squeeze out any bubbles that might exist and when done, remove the upper layer and finish making sure it is smooth.
The package said it had 3 protectors in it, I at first thought there was only one, but when I opened up the package there was in fact 3, a cloth, card, and a "hinge" tape of 4 labels.
Installation went very smoothly, and only took a minute or two. Took perhaps more time lining up the protector and taping it down than to do the whole rest of the process. The protector is very close to the edge all the way around the phone.
The final install was pretty good looking. I did end up with a speck near the bottom but other than that it worked out very nice.
How does it feel?
Does feel like glass... not quite, but really not bad at all. The screen is very slick like before and feels pretty much like the screen did before. I have not used the stylus yet much but it works fine and so far seems to not impede the use of the device at all.
Cost, I didn't buy these so I had to look them up. On Amazon they are listed for $4.95 w/Prime Shipping http://www.amazon.com/amFilm-Protector-Compatible-Lifetime-Warranty/dp/B00FRIK0TQ. I think for $5 that is a pretty good deal. There are still 2 additional protectors in the package left.
Certainly less than $30+ and a lot better than just leaving the screen unprotected.
Will update in a day or two on how it works out.
Note: I was not paid to review this product but was sent a free sample of it to do so. I have no previous or current association with them in anyway.
Not using the stylus yet much, but so far I don't have a problem. I will be able to compare this to another with one of the Glass protectors this weekend and will get a much better idea of how it compares. I will also start playing with the Stylus more as I will have time to go through and pickup what it can do.
$30 Glass vs $5 non-Glass might be a hard compare. However, right now, I am happy having something on the phone and it seems okay.
Hi all,
it would be nice if we could compile a list of the accessories we're happy with.
I'll start with the official case. It's really snug and feels good in your hand, and (as opposed to the official case of the original Swift) it doesn't crack when you look at it crossly Really happy with it, endorse it without reserve. (You need to like flashy orange, though )
EDIT: this one: https://www.pdashop.be/product/759010/wileyfox-swift-2-swift-2-plus-back-cover-oranje.html
Okay so for the cases:
My device came with the official one (in grey color), and after a month or so the power button came off, it didn't seem very strong at first and I knew that was going to happen at some point. Still, not disappointed with it but I didn't feel like it was "protective enough".
So, I went ahead and bought this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/WileyFox-Olycism-Shock-Absorption-Resistant-Transparent/dp/B06XG78G9B/ which came yesterday, and it definitely feels more safe now. Official case feels too plasticky for me, and I've always been a fan of this gummy style of cases. The cutouts for buttons and I/O are perfect, and align perfectly with the device. It doesn't feel too much thick either, so it's definitely a plus. It has a bezel protecting the screen in case the phone falls to the floor, so yeah. I don't regret spending 6 bucks on it in sale.
I can provide pics of any of both, if someone needs it.
I've got a clear one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132114205792 , which seems to look very similar to the case shared by linuxct . Fits well and cut outs are good.
Need to buy some screen protectors soon..

I got one of these:

It fits good and the possibillity transport debit cards or paper money without a wallet is nice. Unfortunately the seam dissolves a litte bit but that can beficed with a fire lighter or a drop of superglue.

Are they snug enough? I bought one that looked like these on e-bay for my original Swift, and it wasn't really tight enough. Just tight enough in fact to remain on the phone, but it felt quite loose.
Anyone know a good fitting tempered glass screen protector for the 2X? Al the ones I found are too big (edges don't curve down) and don't stick very well.
Wileyfox themselves have just released a screen protector for the swift 2x I've just ordered one. I've tried loads bought off eBay and had refunds for all of them as the fit has been terrible.
I bought a soft screenprotector from Screenknight. Fits very well and is smooth (after I peeled the protection layer off haha). I don't like the soft feeling, but it's better than an ill fitting tempered glass one.
I'm just gonna order the one on Wileyfox's site and report back when I receive it.
- Edit -
I received the screenprotector.
Good quality and very easy to apply.
After application you see a little oily residue under the screen. I hope that will disappear after a while.
Cool thing is that the logo on the bottom is shiny, so it's more visible than the dark logo.
I too got one of the Wileyfox screen protectors for the swift 2x it has the slightly oily look underneath it too. I thought it was a fault and got a replacement but the second one is the same. It does seem the best fit out of all the ones I've tried so far. The oily look is only visible when the screen is off. I do have a screen knight but have never applied it as I didn't fancy getting the phone wet.
Another one here with the slimy look under the screen protector. Fits nicely and like already said, looks nice too.
Got one of these as a case
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B071LDGHTQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Awful. Looks smooth in the piccys but the back has quite sharp edges.
This was the reply from Wileyfox about the "oily" screen protector issue.
"Other than making sure your screen is clean and then reapplying the screen protector there isn't much else I can suggest I'm afraid."
Not a big problem anyway.
Dropped my phone on a sand path with pebbles. My screenprotector flew off. Cracked.
Not a scratch on my screen or case
Been walking around without screenprotector since. The screen is much more responsive compared to with the screenprotector.
I think I'm gonna leave it like this. If my screen breaks, I just get it repaired or get a new phone.
