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.

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!

mmm. sounds interesting!
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

Screen Protector Ultraclear and a Anti Glare

I have had this for my Athena and Brando also have two versions for the Shift.

DO NOT by the Durasec. Got mine from Germany, welcome to bubble hell.
Just wish I knew where the original ones are from....
Anyone found any decent ones?
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.
S.
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.

Sure you can, but don't you have a screen protector on it? Even the stock unit shipped from SE has a protector applied.
If not it might be worth trying to buff the scratch out.
Okey, so how can i buff it out?
Or otherwise, where can I get a new screen. Trough the official channels of SE?
hi guys, i do have the same problem.. people have been saying there is a screen protector applied on the x10 since it was done from the factory.. however, is kinda hard to remove the 'screen protector' applied by SE. I can see from the edges there should really be a protector, but I just couldnt remove it. please help
SE did a really good job placing the screen protector film. It's nearly undetectable. Simply pry open one of the edges and get it open. It is hard at first, but you'll get it open.
I guess you need to use some sharp thing to pull it off from one of its edges. After that, it will be easy to remove it the whole way.
Hi, this is strange questions, but id really like to know:
Does my phone have a screen protector? It kind of looks like it does, but i cant seem to take it off (tried lifting the edge with my fingernail).
I just want to make sure i have a screen protector and im not going to scratch my screen.
Anyone with a X10 that doesnt have a screen protector - or someone who installed one themselves, please have a quick look at my uploaded pic to compare.
I cant post links yet...

Im trying to instal a mirror protector - how do you remove a screen protector? It seems like its really stuck on for good!?!
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I removed the screen protector the second day I had my X10. I don't need it coz it's scratch resistant. Three months later it is still scratch-less and the screen is in pristine condition...
thanks, but HOW did you remove the screen protector?

I didn't get any screen protector pre installed or in the box :crying:
But yes I read that some phones got one pre installed
Yip. My Xperia P came with one pre-installed, but there was no spare in the box. Made short work of it and replaced it with an InvisibleShield.
i dont find it in the box

XP screen protector questions
Hi all,
I have a black XP with a preinstalled screen protector. I also have a case that shields everything except the screen. I also have another screen protector that i did not install yet.
So now my question is, should i install the aftermarket screen protector on top of the existing preinstalled one? And is it possible to remove just the aftermarket one after it is scratched (over time i guess it will be). Will there be any residual glue left on the screen? If yes, what should i use to wipe it off?
Or would you just use it as it is with the preinstalled one, and then if that one get's scratched, replace it with an aftermarket one?
i hope i was clear enough...looking forward to your answers, thanks
Its not a preinstalled screen protector. It's factory applied and if you take it off say goodbye to your phone. Just clean it And apply your protector on top of it,

It is not uncommon for people to put on an additional screen protector, on top of the original sheet it comes shipped with.
Since original anti-shatter sheet (the one it comes applied with when you buy it new) is a lot harder to replace than those aftermarket screen protectors, I recommend that you buy and apply 3rd party protector.
Avoid the super thick ones, and you would hardly realise the difference in performance or looks, if applied correctly.
Once is a while, change it and you have a slightly refreshed screen

There isn't any protectors that doesn't get scratched "somehow". As @jewelkobayashi mentioned, just get a 3rd party protector and let it get scratched and change them from time to time for a refreshed skin.
If you go naked and let the Sony flim get scratched, it's quite a hassle to change (probably has to visit Sony Service Centre) and when you change your handset and you want to sell it away, your set may fetch lower amount because of that
