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.

I sent them (phantomskinz) my tablet last week (they wanted it to take measurements and create the cuts.)
I should be getting it back tomorrow from them, I will post some closer pictures if anyone wants. I got the chromatics black applied by them.

Nice, are you getting the skins free?
The skinomi skins look good as well, but I'm more interested in the screen protector, and more specifically, the texture of it.
How's skinomi in that regards?

skinomi has GREAT support.
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 like the screen protector although it is not as hard as others; it has a nice touch to it but is easily dented by fingernails etc.

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.
@cal
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.

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!

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'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 -

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.
S.

So to clarify it scratches the screen protector, the carbon fiber, or the prime itself?

I ordered it from the mall kiosk. They will install it when it comes in. I have GA on my mytouch 4G. Had it on since day one. It has a couple scratches but the back and front are in tact. Sides started to come off after over a year of going in and out of my pocket and 2 decent drops. But front and back held up better than I would have guessed. I still think I can peel off the GA and sell my mytouch in great condition on eBay. I'm sure there are other great solutions, might even have a little less "orange peel" factor or a fraction of a percent more translucency. But if you are lazy and want an excellent case, no bubbles, no worries... Do yourself a favor and hit up the kiosk.

Here is what I do not understand. Putting a screen protector on Gorilla Glass, sounds like overkill to me. My Inspire has it and it rolls around in my pocket with change/keys and not a single scratch, not even a tiny minor one on the phone. I scratch almost all of my phones in one way or another so this is fantastic. I never understood protectors because they make the screen look like junk (and the primes screen is FANTASTIC). And from what I've used, sometimes make it less responsive.
I guess why would you put a protector on it? Don't believe me about the scratch resistance, go look on their website, or come find me i'll take my key s to my phone and show you how good the gorilla glass is. Or maybe you're using the prime as a frisbee, and in that case nothing will help you . Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me.

I've only had one screen protector that was noticeable and ugly, it also effected the screen sensitivity, that was a anti glare/finger print which I got from Verizon. I've had several clear protectors since that you can't tell they are there, and they didn't have sensitivity issues.

Gorilla glass is overrated, I baby my phone and it has a lot of scratches. The only reason I didn't get a protector is because I went through 6 thunderbolts (doesn't have gorilla glass) and after the first three I quit using screen protectors and the screen never got a scratch, and I had the last one for 2 months. I thought if the t bolt screen was that good then gorilla glass would be better, not so, my bionic started getting scratched up within the first week.

I highly recommend an Invisishield. I love their products, given that my Epic 4G Touch has one. But needless to say, I was a little reluctant to have Geek Squad install one on my Prime, given that I purchased the unit for the original Transformer. We "ghetto rigged" it perfectly, and it came out really well! I am very pleased with how it looks! Give it a shot if you're anything like me... someone who needs instant gratification.

So my 2 day old Note has a hairline scratch that is only visible with the screen off in the right light. I am told that if I get this screen protector it will more than likely hide the scratch, and obviously prevent new ones. I'm curious to hear if others have this and like it. I have never used a screen protector because I don't like the way they look and feel, but apparently this screen is very easily scratched, despite me only keeping it in my pocket by itself.

Yes the Zagg or any Zagg type screen protector will make any light scratch invisible. I was the guy who posted about a scratch . Anyways my Zagg came in like a day after it happened, I put it on and I cant even see the scratch.
Does Zagg still have the orange peel look?

Yes it does and it kinda sucks, I always buy BSE skins (Best skins ever) but they only have the international version atm.
Have the Zagg Dry Invisi-Shield installed on mine, front and back protection, and both he dry and wet install shields leave little indented marks when you use the s-pen because they are soft. At first its barely noticeable but the little grooves build up over time. Just something to consider, depending on how much you use the s-pen.

I wish they would have just left the s pen off because I'm never going to use it. It should just be a smartphone, not even tablets come with stylist pens now days. Oh well, I'm still really enjoying the phone. Can't wait for ICS to come out and fix the stutter/non responsive bugs when flipping through home pages.
Check ebay. It's cheaper and free shipping.

I use my s-pen. A lot. Glad they don't base their product manufacturing decisions around your personal preferences. Indespensibe for fine- photo editing, PDF annotation, mobile signatures and the list goes on and on.
Damn that stylus kills the device! Oh well, not everyone listens to Steve.
You sound like an undercover iSheep.

I went to Best Buy and and exchanged the phone for a new one because of the scratch and bought the InvisibleShield. I'm not crazy about the Orange Peel look, but it's better than the scratched screen look.
i have the shield on mine as well........after having the rocket for 5 months and not having a case nor a screen protector i had to get one for the notes awsome screen.
and the S-pen is Great. i use it for texting and everything. the write to text is pretty accurate and fast when you get used to it. my only gripe is that with the Zagg shield the pen does not flow quite as smoothly so it hickups here and there when not applying just the right amount of pressure.
I actually wish that it had the physical home button like the Intl version. I saw some neat tips and tricks -such as disable touch screen -which would be great for movies, etc -especially with children...
I went with the Rearth Ringbo screen cover. Cant comment since I ordered it this AM.

I was 1 click away from ordering that. I ended up with the SGP because I didn't know which was better. I haven't done screen protector shopping in a while. Is the Rearth better than
SGP?
I just learned after buying the Invisible Shield that even though they offer a lifetime "free" replacement, it costs $4 for them to ship it to you and you have to pay to ship it back. In what world is that free?
I bought the invisible sheild today from bestbuy. Not really liking how it feels "tacky" compared to the slick glass. Something to keep in mind when considering purchasing it.

I bought the Zagg tonight, installed it and thought I had it on perfect! Was all proud of myself. Went to go turn the screen on and all these rainbow colors and weird looking dots all over between the screen and shield! I was so pissed. I think I sprayed too much of their liquid on. I should have just paid Best Buy to install. What a waste of money. $22 down the drain.
bought some screen protectors on Amazon to get here Thursday and then 6x off of eBay. I don't care if I have to replace one a month. I'm not spending $20 anymore on one screen protector.
Zagg has also started making an HD version of there screen protector, this one does not give you the orange peel look like the old ones. Right now i think it is only for the Iphone but give it some time they will probity start making them all like that.
I used to use these on my old 1+1 as they often have them on offer which makes them one of the cheapest and decent protectors.
Had a 90% off code (Take90) through today so thought I'd have a look if they have anything for the 1+5.
They only have a plastic film protector for the 1+5 showing in their site.

However when selecting that a Spartan glass option comes up at 29.99 (buy 2 with the code to work comes in at $6) the pair, which again is incredibly cheap.
I haven't ordered one yet to see if it's real or just a website error (shipping to the UK takes weeks and costs more than the protectors).
Wondering if anyone else has tried it stateside?
I may order them anyway, I seem to be amassing a collection of bits of sticky edged glass, so another one won't hurt.
I've ordered one. For a tenner I'll risk it. These used to be really good. Had one for my one plus one.

Yeah I went for it as well.
Will see when they turn up.
If no good, it'll go with my collection..

Taken the plunge too, will see how they fit, still looking for that perfect glass, thinking I will end up with just a decent TGSP and use my Fitbag for protection in pockets.

Looks like mine will be here in the next two days according to the tracking.
I'll update the thread with pictures when it does.
I just ordered and the discount code still worked. less than 7 bucks for two.

I've got a couple of these on order, although right now I'm fairly happy with my Nilkin/Otterbox combo gave up on the full 3.5D coverage ones, first one arrived broken, second one had debris already on the adhesive before lifting from the plastic.
Well mine has turned up today.
Compete utter sh#te..
It's about 3mm narrower than the screen (not the bezels the actual visible screen)
There's no borders but there's obviously the original screen exposed on the sides
I'm going to demand a refund.
Sorry if anyone else ordered one based on this thread. Very disappointed
Might be able to see the edge and how much is exposed on the right here.
Not the best quality photo, taken with my shield tablet..

Look like a similar cover to the Nilkin tbh. I'm happy with that as a solution, compared to the dark borders. The Otterbox case I use offers enough protection to the very outer edges due to the depth and my most likely damage would come from a more central hit/scratch.
I've received mine today and the result is similar I'm afraid.
I'll leave it on for a day or two but I reckon it'll come off since it doesn't cover the screen properly.
I really don't understand why it's this hard to make a screen protector that fits properly. Maybe OnePlus just gave the wrong measurements to all the OEMs?
In any case...
Pixel 2 out soon. Maybe that'll be an option.

XtremeGuard always sells complete and utter sh*t. Any company that has 90% sales once a month is lying to its customers and does not deserve my business.

Put mine on today after receiving yesterday.
Worst protector ever! Huge halo and cuts off a portion of screen like the million. Do not buy! I've already asked for refund.

So I wanted to get one but I don't have a credit card and shipping is 8 dollars!
You have to buy two products in order to get the code "Take90" to work
Same as Nilkin with an extra cutout for the ffc and proximity sensor. It's probably one of the best tgsp right now, full coverage units are currently all worse than this.
