I'm wait first review..
Thanx its ordered
thanks, i ordered too!!!
Count me in as well...
Bought one last night
I purchased a few screen protectors off eBay.... and NONE of them actually cover the entire surface of the screen.
This looks pretty amazing!
But I must say that it feels a bit strange to spray the fluid on the back of the protector and then squeeze it out, can't this fluid get into the earphone, speaker and around the buttons below the screen?
this doesn't look bad, but i think i'll stay with my Brando screen protector, which imo is cool enough, and will get a rubber-ish backplate as soon as one with a correct price will appear.
I have been searching for a skin like this for my Diamond2. I have read that this Zagg skins all have a orange coat on top that makes a very undesirable effect. Any one can confirm this?
And what about phantom skynz? They provide full body protection, but the model for the D2 its not available yet ...

Just ordered.
Thank you bro!
Just installed the InvisibleSHIELD...
I just installed the invisibleShield I ordered from Zagg a few days ago. Installation was a little tricky, but using the solution made it easy(ish). I used a lot more spray than they recommended, but took the battery/sim/SD card out first. I left it drying for 12 hours, and everything switched on fine.
My advice to anyone getting this is to watch some installation vids on YouTube.
I bought it for the screen protector really as I am very clumsy with other WM phones in the past.
The main issue I have, which is a major one, is that the kit for the Diamond 2 is actually 7 pieces which you install piece by piece. Some of these pieces (like the brushed metal pieces on the edge) are very thin and warp easily. I thought when I purchased this that the screen piece would be one part, where the edges would 'fold' around the sides. This is NOT the case. As a result, the actual edges are not covered at all. These pieces don't meet to form a solid shield, but leave gaps between the edges. I have included some pictured to highlight this.
The actual effect on the screen is ok. The screen is bubble-less, but there is a slight sheen on the front. When the screen is on, its not noticable. Also, the shield is a little 'tacky' - not a lot, but it does help feel more snug in your hand. However, for the same reason, the touch screen (when using a stylus) it doesn't feel as smooth as without.
My overall opinion is that if you are looking for something to stop scratching the screen then its great, but if you are looking for something to make your phone indestructible, look elsewhere.
So you bought the protection that coveres the entire phone?
I'm planning to buy the cover for the display only, was the display cover hard to get in place?

7 pieces....so you have 1 piece for backplate,2 in front and 4 for the sides?
Is that correct?
Thanks for sharing the info. Does the IS make it difficult to get the backplate off?
Does it make the front, back or sides feel or look noticeable different?

There is the front piece, the back piece, 2 thin strips for the sides and 2 small rectangles for the bottom side near the stylus. So 6, not 7. I can't count!

No, the IS covers the back plate, but it doesn't wrap over the sides. The back slides off just as easy as ever.

The front just looks like a normal screen protector. The back looks glossier. The touch though, as stated earlier, is slightly tackier. The only thing is the gaps where the IS doesn't meet.
Not trying to bum you out, but... the pictures you posted show a pretty messy device. Doesn't have a "clean" look anymore, is this because of the ZAGG?

Hi all,
searching for an invisible, thin protection film for my Topaz I found this website
http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/htc-to...s-screen-protectors-covers-cases-shields.html
It is exactly the same shield you might know from other manufacturers, but look at the price: 6.99 and free shipping included!
To make it short: Delivery was fast, the product is excellent (I have one of those expensive ones on my iPod so I can compare), and the installation is very easy. They even have an explaining video on their website.
I can recommend this product to everyone.

Hehe.. the fact that they refund to whoever who posts reviews abt them online...
wondering if these reviews are genuine or not.
No offence ottoben.. I'm just thinking out loud. I got my Shieldz too.. Pics here:

It's ok to me to say what you think. But I really think their product is as good as the much more expensive ones and that's what I wanted to share. BTW I dit not apply for the refund...
I have these too, and have found them excellent, however, the screen protector part is a little too "rubbery" for my taste - I feel that my fingers don't slide about as easily on the screen, therefore, I use the gadget shieldz for back and sides of the device and the standard HTC screen protector on the front - gives me best of both worlds IMHO
Ordered now - lets see when it turns up and if it's any better than the InvisibleShield...(that was rubbish tbh)

Yup.. exactly. I tested my friend's Cruise too, with the screen covered with it too. Totally unacceptable for me on the screen. Using a stylus makes it much worse.. so I applied it on the back only.
My friend's Cruise apparently had Invisible Shield.. and I think the rubbery-ness is about the same. I do however feel that GadgetShieldz has less wavy effect, thus, it looks better
Price-wise.. forget IS. Ya don't need the fancy packaging, spray bottle or a card. GS is worthit.

After seeing Mask post from another thread on the matt cover, i had order and using gadget shieldz now...
I had Invisiable shield on my previous Diamond 1.
Overall, i feel gadget shield is thinner than Invisiable Shield.... better feel, less rubbery....
but on gadget shield seems easier to be srcatch or stretch...
i had some stretch mark when i try hard to push the air bubbles.
This stretch marks is ugly as it is on the front screen area....
Just have to be extra careful during application of the shield
I also got the gadget shield, but my main problem is that it is about 2mm off on all sides. So I have small gaps between the pieces. Does invisible shield have the same problem?

You mean 2mm smaller than the device? I though that's normal..
I only applied at the back, so it's not a problem for me..
so does anyone who has tried out invisibleshield have problems with it not fitting perfectly because if it doesn't have problems I might buy one.

Hi all,
Just got my Gadgetshieldz this morning. The instructions are pretty good, easy to follow. However, for the pieces that fold over the sides, they don't stick well. The plastic is too rigid and won't fold and stick. I ended up with only the front screen and the backing done. I couldn't be bothered with the sides as they were too fiddly and weren't a perfect fit anyway. The opening near the speaker on the right wouldn't stick properly and am currently sitting hte phone on its side hoping that portion would stick when its dry. Overall, Gadgetshieldz looks like a good cheaper alternative to Invisible shield, (I tried tearing apart the smaller strips and they were quite robust) but usage on the diamond is really average. From what the others have said, I will most likely be tearing off the screen protector and buying another replacement if there is too much traction. Will make another post when it dries.
Cheers.

I concur on this one. I just installed Gadgetshieldz on the weekend. The battery cover portion has unsightly gaps at the top. The strips that are meant for the sides are way short and I didn't even bother applying them. Am probably gonna strip off the protection sheet and stick to a soft plastic case. They are a bit chunkier but more rigid than the silicone versions.
To anyone who gets air bubbles under screen protectors; URDOINITRONG.
Ensure the surface of both the device and the protector are COMPLETELY dust free; The smallest particle of dust, fluff, or hair will make an air bubble a good 3 or 4mm in diameter.
Other than that, ensure the edges line up straight and roll down from one side to the other. Seempulz!
I'd recommend GadgetShieldz.com.
£3.00 delivered and does the job well.

I bought one as well and fits perfectly. But installation made me crazy some pieces are too small for my fingers
Gadgetshieldz is looking like a great option to me..Ordering one now..Will see how it goes.
I would like to get a full body screen protector since the back of my black lumia is really slippery and I am afraid to drop the phone.
I did this too many times with my HTC Titan but never since I got a protector on the back which gave it a nice grip.
Suggestions?

because i'm a newbie i can't insert gadgetshieldz link to you.maybe their product will help solve your problem
I had Ghost Armor full body put on mine at their kiosk in the mall. The back wraps all the way around from screen to screen. The screen protector is about a hairs width too narrow in my opinion but it's still very good. Can't even tell its on. No rubbery feel or orange peel. The end pieces are ok. The speaker end goes from screw to screw but is cut out for the speakers and USB plug. The SIM card end has a cutout for the headphone jack but stops at the sim tray.
The back does give a nice grippy feel without being rubbery. I had the clear put on my red 920 and really like it but they also have some carbon fiber colors. I actually considered the black or grey because it would have left just enough of the red case showing to look kind of like pinstripping. But decided I liked my red.
My only suggestion is to have them put it on. One, it's a wet install and if they screw it up they will fix it at no additional charge. They charge $15 here for the install.
Two, they have a heat device that aids with the shrinking to fit. Better chance of no bubbles. I used to put Zagg on all my devices. Ghost Armor is better I think.
I'm quite happy with mine, grippery, screen protector feels just the same as the glass to me, I don't have to worry about laying it down anywhere or throwing it into my purse or pocket with keys or anything.
Oh, and my charging stand works fine.

I can try. The only camera I have handy is my iPad and my desktop is getting a makeover (new motherboard and RAM) so the only computer I have around is my iPad.
Sorry if the pics are really big.
Also I can't really show you the back where the skin meets the glass because it is so close it doesn't show up.
Edit: looks like only one uploaded. Pm me and I'll email you the others.

All the little white flakes are from the tissue I laid it on. The only white thing I could find quickly. The screen is perfectly clear and easy to wipe off.

I think Skinomi cutting is better.
My friend has Skinomi on his NL920, however it covers the proximity sensor, which makes the screen off during call.
He said Skinomi just sent him a revised one.
I think I will get the Invisible Shield, because I have some zagg gift cards lol

You're very welcome.
It does look to be a better fit. Mine could be just a hair bit wider. I'm very happy with the fit of the back but their screen dimensions do need work. There's no cutout for the sensor but I haven't had any issues. It works fine. The main difference I see with the skinomi is it looks like it has a bit of 'orange peel' and I really dislike that on mine.
I'm loving mine because I don't have to worry about tossing it in my purse or coat pocket. I think that all these types are pretty much the same. They are certainly much better than the old Zagg I used for years. I didn't care for the orange peel or the grip but they were pretty much indestructible. And that's the point
Good luck.

I just order the Wrapsol complete wrap I will try and post pics when it arrives. I have been using wrapsol for about 3 years now and they are a great product no orange peel and the cuts are great. Plus their lifetime warranty is awesome just take a pic of my device and they ship out a new one.
just got my L920 yesterday... interested to know if zagg full body cover the lense as well? im afraid if the camera window get scratch someday...
Hey guys,
I'm looking for a screen protector that is relatively cheap, ($10 each at most, frequently recommended ones like Spigen are over 30 bucks!), made of glass and slim.
No need for it to be bulletproof or anything, I'm careful with my phones and I just want it to not scratch with regular usage, not be a fingerprint magnet and not interfere with touch or s-pen sensitivity.
Anything you guys have personally used (preferably for some time already) and can recommend?
Heres the one Im using, its from AmzDeal been using about a week dropped my phone several times over the weekend out hiking and not a scratch on it its tough ill give it that. Its 10 bucks shipped with amazon prime and i got it in 2 days. Its a knock off but been very good. When I got it it came in the AmzDeal box and packaging, but when I went to apply the protector it said Incipio which doesnt even make one like that for the N3 LoL. So its cheap, a knock off but feels great, stylus glides across it and as I said after numerous drops is showing to be very strong. It also is a full cover around the phone except around the top speaker, and prox sensor area but goes around the entire screen and comes with a home button cover to help make it stick up more. I took out my original screen protector on my ZeroLemon case and this fits great inside. Hope this helps link is below:

I haven't put a screen protector on my last couple phones because I felt like they attracted grime/oil/fingerprints too much - what's the point of keeping your screen in pristine unblemished condition if you can't see it clearly because the cover is covered in fingerprints! The glass is so tough now that they really aren't necessary unless you tend to be a little abusive to your phones.
That said, I recently put on a couple different TechArmor protectors and the matte finish one is great. It is the "anti-glare / anti-fingerprint" version. I also tried the "ultra clear" version and that one is horrible! You touch it once and suddenly it looks like that beautiful sharp screen is covered in vaseline or something. Absolute fingerprint magnet, I couldn't stand it for 5 minutes. The AG/AF one is fantastic though. I really like the matte finish and how it sort of subdues the brightness of the screen without losing crispness or clarity. And you will never see a fingerprint again. I also LOVE how the stylus feels on it. It always felt a little awkward to write with on the bare screen, but on the matte protector it really feels like using a high quality ball point pen on paper. I'm sure the matte finish will be an instant turn off for some people, but I really like it and it's functional too. The "anti-glare" properties are marginal at best, but the anti-fingerprint properties are excellent. $7 for a three pack on Amazon and a little kit for applying it cleanly with no dust specks. Be careful to choose the AG/AF option and NOT the clear option (it's kind of a hidden as a "color option" so make sure you pick the one you want before you add to cart)

You said it was only cut out around the speaker and proximity sensor, but the photo of the ptoduct you linked to has the wide cut out, exposing the camera as well. Is the picture accurate or is your description?
I hate the extra wide cut out, I think that contributed to cracking my original screen protector.

Ya sorry about that I've got it in a case and didn't realize it went over that far, the picture is correct it goes from your LED to your camera. I will say though I spoke with the seller and he apologized said the distributor put the wrong incipio sticker on the device packaging and is sending me a new protector just because. So I will say the seller was really good to work with.
Hey guys,
Thought I'd share my experience with this screen protector.
I've tried damn near all available on the market (tempered glass specifically) except the official OnePlus tempered glass. None were up to par. They all only have adhesive along the edges only which imo is a poor desicion. I see no plus to this.
The ones i tried all got dust under in a matter of days, and some even fell off completely after small drop tests.
Although this spigen is not a tgsp, it's is worth every penny. Application was easy, the wet application makes it to where alignment is 99 percent perfect. It covers at least all of the lighted display, of course it doesnt follow the 2.5d curve.
After application it took a couple hours to clear up any haziness that remained after squeegee/drying process. Don't apply too much pressure as I seem to have wrinkled a corner.
All in all, very satisfied with the product and will continue to buy after they get ugly...unless they make a perfect tgsp im the future.

It's pretty much the same as the one comes pre-installed on the device.
Hoe does this protector goes with dust? Not underneath, bit on top? The pre installed protector is a real dust catcher ...everything I get the phone out of my pocket I have to clean the screen from dust

Its far less of a dust/lint magnet. Id say 80 percent less attraction.
I just bought this protector as well, and installed it today.
It is exactly the same size as the pre-installed protector, which personally I like. That avoids issues with the curved screen, but is still large enough to protect the screen adequately when using a case. Of course the second benefit is that this is a case friendly screen protector. I have a cheap black TPU case similar to the spigen rugged armor, and they fit together without issue.
This is one of those healing/indestructible type protectors that have been around awhile, like an IQ Shield. I have used these on older devices, although I upgraded to TGSP on my last phone. I would have bought a TGSP for this phone, but apparently, the manufacturers have no clue what they're doing. I do like this type of protector. It is a wet application. This protector makes the screen appear slightly textured when viewed from extreme angles, but not much viewed straight on. I need to give it a full day to dry before I get too critical of it. The package came with two, and I'm likely to use these until a decent TGSP rolls around.

Yup, forgot to mention that. Still don't have any cosmetic problems with the film. Even the wrinkle I mentioned in the first post has corrected. I can actually see the film "heal" when I scratch it with my nail intentionally.
1 day followup: All the bubbles have disappeared. There is still very mild visible distortion that is present with every protector of this type. It doesn't bother me, but screen clarity perfectionists will probably complain. Again, its not a TGSP, but its great for what it is. No other issues.
Really waiting for it to get released in Europe.. So far only America, India as far as I can see. :/

You could go for the ultimate shield, which is basically the same type of screen protector.
Unlike the spigen it covers the whole front, I mean the area below the fingerprint scanner especially.
I don't know if there is any difference in thickness or coating.
The ultimate shield also has the same "orange skin effect" that was mentioned earlier in this thread, but u will barely see it when using your phone.
How's the scratch resistance on this one? I'm on my last Orzly TGSP, which lets in dust from ever side, I'm looking for alternatives that at least don't scratch.

After a quick clean an inspection i noticed one single micro scratch. This is since day before original post.
Just installed this today. Haze from the liquid went away within hours and so far so good!
There is an "orange peel effect" and it doesn't feel like glass but those are a given, and expected, so no points off for these two things.
It's much better than any tgsp that I've tried, simply due to the fact that it's edge to edge. I couldn't stand
1. The lack of adhesive on the sides
2. The sides being significantly cut off
The "wet install" allows for you to have a perfect install as well, as you can slide it around and adjust it perfectly, before finally setting it in place.
I'll see how it holds up over time and will update this post if anything unusual happens with it!
I will also try and get some pics soon (if I remember lol)
For those of you with this screen protector, how did you end up aligning it correctly? There's a small amount of space around each cutout and I found with my initial installation that while those were lined up, with the Rugged Armor case installed I had a small gap on the right side.
Amazon's instructions say to install with the case already on but Spigen's does not so thought I'd ask how others got theirs to line up correctly.
I installed one of these tonight. I did it with the Spigen case installed, and centered the protector on that. Waiting for it to cure and lose the bubbles. It didn't look that bad to start and 3 hours later it is looking better.
At this point I would pay a premium for flat glass! I just don't enjoy these phones like I used to without a nice perfect TGSP!

I removed the case and wiped it down with the cloth. I left it out of the case to dry / cure.

For those of you with this screen protector, how did you end up aligning it correctly? There's a small amount of space around each cutout and I found with my initial installation that while those were lined up, with the Rugged Armor case installed I had a small gap on the right side.
Amazon's instructions say to install with the case already on but Spigen's does not so thought I'd ask how others got theirs to line up correctly.

On the Spigen install video at install.spiegen.com for the case friendly S8, they show putting it on with the case on. That's what I did. Spigen calls it full coverage but compatible with Spigen case.
After installing it then removing the case for drying and curing, the bubbles disappeared after about 18 hours, but I have one piece of trash trapped. After putting the case back on, it seems compatible but the film goes out to the border of the Spigen case without touching it, except it barely touches on the bottom. It is a very close fit, I believe putting it on without the case would cause problems with alignment.
Overall not bad, it is easier to align the film with the case on. The touch feel is OK for me.
Ultimate Shield Tempered 9H Glass screen protector
Hey guys, here is my review of the Ultimate Shield Tempered 9H Glass screen protector and I must say - I'm converted!!
Read on....(also see the attached pictures)
Contents:
- The tempered glass screen protector
- Screen cleaning cloth (wet)
- Dust stickers
- Microfiber cloth
Installation:
Be sure to do this in as dust-free environment as possible. I like the kitchen for this reason (no carpets for me there), or the bathroom works great too as you can use the steam from the shower to help any dust settle whilst you complete the install!
1. Using the wet cloth helps to give the screen a good clean removing any oily fingerprints and/or dirt.
2. The dry cloth dries the screen (don't worry, the wet cloth doesn't 'wet' it that much!) and the dust stickers are there to ensure any last little bits of dust aren't present.
You'll want to spend time on ensuring there are no little bits on your screen as this can spoil the look, at least to those who won't be able to stop noticing that little eyelash hair in the middle of the screen!
3. Carefully remove the protective layer of the screen protector, keeping the exposed glass side facing down. There is a slight adhesive, of some form, which any bit of dust/hair ending up there may be tricky to remove so make this step as swift as possible, taking extra care. Keep your thumbs/fingers away from that side of the glass to avoid any fingerprints getting stuck there, holding the protector by the side only.
4. Lower the screen protector towards your phone, but don't place it on quite yet. Really line up the protector, looking at it from directly above and I'd recommend using the camera cut out as the guide. Ensure the selfie-camera lines up nicely in the hole but also that the full length of the protector runs parallel to the phone.
5. Once you're happy with the alignment, place the protector on the screen, with the selfie-cam side down first, then slowly but firmly lowering the rest of the screen protector down. Or to say another way, press the top of the screen protector down and then press towards the lower end of the protector, until you reach the bottom speaker end.
6. Some bubbles may be trapped underneath the screen. Don't worry! Use your finger/thumbs to firmly yet carefully press out the bubbles, pressing it out toward's the edge of the screen. You can also wrap a credit card in the dry cloth, and use that as a way to force out some air bubbles.
If you're not happy with the alignment and/or have anything stuck under there, then it is possible to remove and reapply. Do this very carefully though, by using your nail to lift it up from the corner, taking extra care not to fingerprint that side of the protector. Use the dust sticker to remove any bits. Though again, be as quick as possible as whilst that side of the protector is exposed, more stuff might land there!
Impressions:
From being a long time user of the film screen protectors, those being 'wet installed' etc. I must say I have been converted! I did have my hesitations about using glass protection, as a while back I used one and it failed to impress me. Previously I had found this type of material, glass vs plastic film, would add a mirror-like reflection to the screen, even more so than the Gorilla Glass screen that the device already had. Also, with my love of AMOLED devices I found glass screen protectors would detract from the 'deep black' the screen would display, and make such colours more of a grey, which affected viewing pleasure.
But not with this one!!
Feel - I instantly fell in love with how this looked and felt. It has no loss of sensitivity and I have not felt the need to have to swipe harder or change the way I interact with the phone. It feels just as responsive as it did prior to installation!
Looks - There is no glare/mirroring effect and so as far as it's looks are concerned, it's practically invisible! The screen colours look as vibrant as they did before and blacks still look as deep as they did
Fit - As you can see I have this installed with this rugged case and it fits PERFECTLY. This case slightly lips over and so there is no dust being trapped around the edge of the screen protector. I'd presume it will also be compatible with other cases too, as it is full coverage, going right to the edges with it's own bezel, not just covering the screen.
I highly recommend the use of this screen protector, for the added peace of mind that the screen is further protected against scratches etc.
Any questions please do ask!
@cd993 thanks for the nice review. I also normally don't like the complete glas, but bought a similar one. I'm also quite happy with it except one thing which disturbs me a little bit. Mine has the black frame around it ( which is in itself not a problem) and this is taking away just a tiny bit from the screen (maybe half a millimeter on the left and right). Is it the same with your one ( from the pics it looks like it also has the black frame). That it take away a bit of the screen is only noticeable when using apps which really starting text completely on the left side ( like the netguard log for example )

Thanks! To be honest I don't think it does. I've just looked at various apps, such as matlog/play store etc and no noticeable screen cut off

Thanks, I maybe give that one a try then . Just to make clear for everybody. The app in the pic I attached in my former screenshot really starts at pixel 0 on the left side... It's really not a lot what's missing....

Thanks for the review mate!! I've used US's products before and I think they're the best screen protector I've ever used.
Ordered mine 2 days ago and can't wait for it to be delivered, I miss the sensitivity and feel that those usually have.

Email them, perhaps they'd be willing to...
I have applied this protector too....
Always had phones without screenprotector because I hate them... It takes away the feel of the phone... Bubbels underneath glass etc etc.
Bought it because I saw some scratches on the screen coming.
So after this positive review gave it a try. But man I must say it's a great quality.
Applying is very easy off course look for dust... Becaue I had one.... Took it off which is very easy to do... Rinsed it off under water....
Take two was a succes.... Didn't dry it just putt it on the phone and wipe wipe wipe and a lot of patience....and rubbing. It was bubble free.
But glad I did it.... In fact I find the screen better looking.. Bit of 3d effect...
Fp and typing is as normal.
Only con its a bit heavy....
Don't compare this to a 5 dollar screenprotector which is also the reason why I hated them.

Glad you like it! Yeah it really is a great screen protector, basically looks the exact same with it on and barely noticeable!

Is your screen protector from spigen?
thanks.
I'm using a chinese version but have some issues. The protector have some kind of bend and it causes a bubble impossible to remove just in the front camera. Because of that my front cam don't focus right.
That's the one:

@cd993 from the pictures you attached it seems the screen protector has real curved edges. Am I right or is just my impression? If you could add more pictures where we can see how curved are the edges without the case, I would appreciate.
I'm looking for a good screen protector that has curved edges so I can use a slim cover.
Currently I have a Cafele full screen protector (bought on AliExpress for 4 USD), which is good and has a nice feeling, looks very similar to this one, but it doesn't have curved edges and because of that it doesn't stick very well in the corners, if I use a slim case.
Thanks.

Hmm I remember then being curved yes, but no overly so.
Either way I certainly recommend it and fitted it great, as well as being case friendly, in my experience
