Just to let you know that I bought the Brando Screen Protector for the Diamond2 from Inkino. They even installed it for me which is a bonus. The screen protect is absolutely amazing and is a good as any that I have seen. Do not scrimp on cheap nasty ones that come in multiples in a pack. You only ever need one good one. The Ikino guy showed me a Treo 650 which had a Brando Screen protecter that he had installed when the Treo 650 came out (was I born then ) and it was in a very impressive state. If you are going to install it yourself then they do recommend doing it very slowly and cleaning the screen before-hand is crucial. Common sense I know, but you would be surprised how easy it is to get dust under the protector.
got mines today. 2 pcs, both from Brando. one is the Ultra Clear version.
i've applied the "normal" one for now and i must say it's really cool!
putting it on went pretty much smooth. in the bathroom, where i guess there's less dust, i've cleaned first the screen with a special lotion. then waited until it dried up, after that applied the Brando screen protector as shown in the "instructions".
went OK, only had to start again 2-3 times, then found the right position. went over it with a credit-card while smoothing it out on the D2's screen. it sits very good, no air bubbles and really just a few very small dust pieces at the border of the protector - does not disturb.
so, yes, the Brando screen protectors are really the thing!
now i want only the textured back plate and then i'm really happy!
PS: didn't find the screen-protectors on the romanian market, so had to order them from speedshop.hu (hungary), but eveything went very smooth! in 2 days after the payment
Could you post pictures for me? I'm looking for a screen protector too. Does it cover the whole black part, or just the 3.2 inch screen part?
it covers the display + the black border around. it's actually identical in size with the one delivered in the stock package, the difference in the aspect being the "U" shape around the front camera (the original one is a circle).
I don't get it, mine came with a screen protector.
I think it is quite a good protector,
why are you intersetd in th ebrando protector, didn't yours came with a protector as well ?

yeah, i know. the problem is that i didn't pay enough attention when putting on the screen protector that came in the box and i messed it up (got dust and airbubbles under the protector), so after i've tried to get it clean, i messed it up so bad that it got useless.
this is why i ordered 2 brando's (speedshop.hu has 2 versions) - put on one that is not the "ultra clear" version and now i am happy with it.
When applying the standard screen protector that comes wit the phone, how do you get the screen free from greasy finger prints? If I wipe it with a cloth I just smear it out

Use CD/DVD cleaner
I use those: 3M Vikuiti DQC160

Scratchproof, crystal clear and very easy to get on and off.
Is a screen protector really important? I used mine, but the dust freaked me out. Can't place it without any dust...
So I removed mine, and now not using anything. Just bought a case.
What do you think?

You should put one, if it is not too late: once your screen is scratched (and it will get scratched, very fast if u use the stylus), you will have to buy a new screen cover (I think it include the digitizer), which will be much more expensive, or live with scratches which will blemish your screen, which are especially bad with TD2: the very high pixel density will cause moiré pattern (rainbow effect) around the scratch and I find that very annoying...
It is not so hard to install, mine was my first attempt at installing a screen protection, and it went flawlessly: just be careful, do not hurry, do not put your fingers on the screen (once cleaned) nor on the sticky face of the protector, and work in a clean, dust free, well lit room. Dust free is hard, but an excellent trick i did found here was to use your bathroom, after a hot shower (keep the water runnnig a long time, and take a shower yourself ) It will ensure YOU are dustfree ;-), but also, more important, water condensation will remove almost all particles in suspension, and you will get very clean air. BTW, better to wear minimal clothes after your shower: clothe fibers is the most common dust/particles....
If you work in such a place, the only difficult thing is to get the screen protector perfectly aligned. I started on the top, got the grid and camera holes aligned, tried to cover the screen from top to bottom, and restarted as soon as I saw the slightest misalignment without letting the screen protector out of my hand (else it is very difficult to repick - that was the only trouble I had after I was too enthusiatic and let it go while there was still a small misalignment.
If you keep calm, and have good hand coordination, 2 or 3 attempts and you will have an invisible screen protector ;-) Oh yes, and start with a clean screen (I cleaned mine with distilled water and a soft microfiber glass cleaning tissue...worked very well....)
Thanks, I'll have to buy one then.
BTW, does a screen protector affect the sensitivity of the screen? Do you have to press slightly harder on the screen to get it to recognize your finger?

slightly, yes....on the other hand, it is more slippy, although not enough for my taste when using fingers, but it is an improvement compared to the bare screen. Before I installed the screen protector, it was much too grippy for confortable finger sweep motions imho (clean screen, after a while finger grease act as a lubricant ;-) ).
All in all, weighting the slight decrease in sensitivity against the friction reduction...I prefer my screen with the screen protection, even taking out the protection factor
There's this Zagg product for the TD2, which is invisible. Not really sure about this... I might just get the regular screen protector, and use a silicone case.
I would recommend placing the bottom edge of the screen protector up against the bottom buttons to align it. I managed to get it perfect first time.
I find the supplied screen protector picks up finger prints even worse than the bare screen. Are the after market ones any better?
My reseller did the protective screen installation for me. Did a good job. Did you guys get the free pouch also? I am not sure if the pouch came with the unit or if it was a free gift as a promotion.
What's the difference between different brands of protectors and the original HTC ones? I bought last week branded HTC protectors made exclusively for Diamond 2, their HTC part nr is SP P240, they fit fantastically well.. Are they worse than brands mentioned earlier in the thread?

May be they have some particular features such as "antiscratch" or "washable screeing protector"!
I have also recently bought original one SP P240 and very glad with it!
And never mind, original parts are not worse than other brands!
ok i fudged my htc supplied screen protector, i dont know how but it managed to stick to my cleaning cloth, anyway i have it on there as a temp measure, till i can get a new one.
looking at this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CP-SCREEN-PRO...ms=66:2|65:1|39:1|240:1318|301:1|293:2|294:50
1. has anyone tried this type before,
2. is it worth the £7,
the coloured screen is just to show the fitment the actual product is clear.
Why screen protector ?
In past I used screen protector. When I did take off it, then I was very surprised how much screen protector degrades quality of screen at my Touch HD. I bought Touch HD for his briliant screen. Please don't use screen protector it is not necessary, especially if you use fingers only and not stylus. After 3 months usage w/o screen protector I can say that touch's screen is enough resistant for daily use.
I got my clearprotector today. i bought the full body protector and just applied it.
Result: I tore the body protector off right away....cant do this to my blackstone...everywhere you look you see where one protector ends and the other starts etc...nothing for me, as i like the original look of the blackstone ;-)
but as you just asked about the screenprotector, I have to say it's really nice and definitely worth the money. Its very clear and very accurate, not like the original one from htc. the only thing you have to get used to is that sliding on the screen with your finger is a bit more difficult since the protector is a bit sticky due to its rubber surface.
All in all, I cant recommend the body protector, but the screen protector is the best i saw up to now.
I'm trying to decide which will be a better fit for a screen protector. Right now, there really seems to be only two contenders. The Zagg and the Skinomi, links provided. I know there are generic protectors but I'm looking for the "best of class" for this beast. Anyone have any suggestions before I scratch this baby?

I personally hate the wet type of protectors for the screen. It messes up the smoothness of the touchscreen & your fingers don't glide over it easily (especially the tacky feeling Zaggs. Those are the worst).
Go with the dry ones (the kind that use static cling to stick). I ordered the REALOOK protector from Amazon that gets good reviews on their other devices. Should be here in a day or two. They feel as smooth as glass.
I guess it's a matter of preference. I had a Zagg on my Focus for a year now, and it works great for me. It does give the screen a more "grippy" feel though, but I actually like that. If you want it to feel slick, I probably wouldn't go with the wet style. Another plus for the wet though is that it's pretty much invisible when applied. You won't get any peeling or bubbling like a dry protector. A lot of screen protectors are quite noticeable when they're put on a phone.
Reading the Realook reviews on Amazon shows they get mostly great reviews. I might have to give them a try one day. For now, I'll stick with Zagg though. It just arrived yesterday, and my phone should be in by Thursday, so it'll be the first thing I install.
AT&T
I got the one from AT&T from there website and LOVE LOVE the feel it gives.
Just enough Drag to feel comfortable.
wrapsol makes some good ones as well. haven't decided what to get yet...
Got from tmart (can't post a link yet)
search ror item BD005788
Not bad at all
Brando Ultra Clear is the best.
got the htc one from clove technology.excellent fit
My Realook screen protectors came in today. I held off on installing the Zagg to try these. I can say, this is probably the most crystal clear protector I've ever put on a phone. It is 100% invisible.
So what's the con. The fit is so exact, they must have measured in microns. It still bubbles up at the extreme top right corner because it's hitting the small ridge that loops the front face. I definitely ding it for that. I guess if you have robo eyes and can place this thing on exactly, and I do mean EXACTLY, it would be the best protector I've seen. I can't see any blank space what so every, but it's still not on 100%.
The screen is slightly less slippery which I like too. It gives it a better feel. For the price, I think it's worth it. Besides, even if it peels off, you still have a second one to apply.

Yep, got mine in too. And I agree. Its almost TOO perfect, meaning they cut this thing so there's hardly ZERO room for error when applying. I actually ended up scrapping the first one I applied (it comes w two) because I wasn't satisfied with the slight bubble in the corner.
But I FINALLY managed to install the second one perfectly. Now its amazing & 100% perfect. Thank God, cause it freakin took forever. You really have to have patience when applying these. Be sure to stick a small piece of scotch tape on the bottom side so you can peel it up easily, because you're going to be doing that a lot to get it to seat just right.
I installed the maximum body Zagg and the screen protector turned out perfect. I've installed zaggs on LG Quantum, and Samsung Focus so I had some practice. For some reason the Titan zagg seems better quality than the ones installed on the other phones. I'm really not seeing any orange peel. I also put on the case mate tough case and doesn't mess up the zagg protection at all. For the Titan I love the Zagg
Sent from my HTC Titan using Board Express
I never liked the grabbiness of the Zagg protectors. I ordered the ATT offered two-pack not knowing they were the full on glare reducing version. At first, it was a little too much, but the glare reduction seems to settle in a bit with use. OR my eyes are used to it now, but I quite like it after using it for a while. I matches the matte finish of the phone.
That said, I do want a screen protector that doesn't have anti-glare made by the same people as the ATT Samsung Focus version. Super slick, was pretty tough. Anyone know the vendor that made it for ATT?
"Orange peel" - that's a good description of my Focus Zagg screen protector. It didn't bother me though. I still have my Zagg in my drawer if the Realook craps out, but I don't think so.
I just bought the Skinomi Carbon Fiber full body kit that comes with a screen protector and really like it.
One BIG problem though: The Carbon Fiber back skin seems to have killed my signal strength. I now get no service instead of 3 bars? It covers the whole back of the phone. Even the plastic antennae area.
I'm surprised that it would kill your signal strength. I would check the metal contacts on the back case and the phone to make sure everything is touching and seated properly. Someone else in the forum tried that, and it fixed their problem.
I'm using atFolix anti-glare screen protector, it's brilliant get improved contrast and it's finger print resistant!
Got it from here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/atFoliX-FX-...m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=05DX3CNJ9KFAVHD8RYFC

Ok I'll answer my own question! Curiosity got better of me so decided to get Rock Naked Screen Protector AF & AG, and sure enough it's clearer then atFolix anti-glare screen no frost effect!
So if anyone's interested here are the Pros and Cons between the two screen protectors:
atFolix anti-glare got it from here http://www.amazon.co.uk/atFoliX-FX-...0VSQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330083294&sr=8-1 :
Pros:
- Easy to fit
- Perfectly fits the screen of the Titan no gaps!
- Excellent anti-glare and anti-fingerprint
Cons:
- You lose sharpness of the display and get frosted glass effect on close inspection!
- Easily scratches!
Rock Naked Screen Protector AF & AG got it from here http://www.obostore.com/rock-anti-f...ed-screen-protector-for-htc-titan-p-3597.html :
Pros:
- Good anti-glare and anti-fingerprint
- You don't lose sharpness of display i.e. no frosted glass effect
Cons:
- Fiddly to put on!
- Not a perfect fit for Titan about 1mm gap around screen!
- Easily Scratches
For me between the two I prefer the Rock Naked Screen Protector over atFolix losing screen sharpness/frosted glass effect was too much of a compromise!
Has anyone found any screen protectors, film, PET, glass, etc. that cover the entire screen correctly? I've already ordered a film one that was all misaligned and didn't cover it well.
I hear that Zagg is coming out with one that's pretty awesome. It supposedly wrap around entirely, front to back.
I must be lucky because I never use a screen protector and have never experienced a broken screen, just use a Otterbox commuter.
I'm also looking for one of the self-healing screen protectors that fits... the ones on Amazon have reviews that say it's cut wrong

Have you tested them?

Anybody else having issues with SPIGEN?
Don't seem to be sticking at the edges of the protector
I picked up an amFilm glass screen protector -- it's supposed to be full screen coverage.
I think I'll wait on ordering a glass screen protector until someone actually gets one installed and thinks it looks right. I'm wanting an edge to edge one. Even the Amfilm does not mention it's curved or not. Edge to Edge and curved to go to the edges are two different things.
I am going to buy the glass one here. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Galaxy-S...hash=item1a0f20ea52:m:mvH5yB-EhsNPPk95uO127rg

Just put on my skinomi matte. Perfect edge to edge fit. Not digging the rainbow effect though.

And then order a full coverage tempered glass later
I've found the IQ Shield wet apply to be a decent alternative to tempered glass. Not quite as smooth and clear, but excellent fit and protection.

Second the Skinomi Matte, fits nicely. The Edge display looks a bit different under it, like the skin itself is lighting up not like it's a layer on top of the display. Previously used a tempered glass on my GS5 so this is a big difference. Touch feel of the skin is good. Had to remember how to put on a protector cleanly though, took a couple tries to get it done (but I had budgeted one 'practice' protector to burn).
Haven't noticed a rainbow effect though.
Spigen ones cover the whole screen (not full coverage) and from S6 experiance they are actually slightly wider than the active parts of the screen, unliek most ones I have seen that are exactly the same width as the screen.
Can someone confirm that the front dimesions of S6/S7 are the same? Have some spigen ones left and guessing they will fit exactly the same?

Read both positive and negative ones on the S7 version. Some say perfect fit and some say its peels. Might be some quality control issues on first batches I guess as they were selling way before phone release.

Thats a bit of bad news. I would have expected better from Spigen.
Indeed, i always buy spigen screen/glass protectors but this time they're not very different from others.
Tbh i tried other screen protectors and spigen ones are the best, they don't stick for less than 1mm but it's away from perfect anyway.
Hi
I have this case :
https://www.spigen.com/products/galaxy-s8-case-crystal-shell
I tried both Samsung original plastic screen protector:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQKnJsETNYQ
And the olixar case friendly glass screen protector.
Both suck. Either the touch is bad either the case lifts it up.
Can anyone recommend me a screen protector that will get a long with my case? or any combination of screen protector and a case that will work together?
No glue / wet apply please. Only conventional stuff
Thanks
From what I have seen the gpel case friendly screen protectors seem to be about the best option.
They come in clear or black edges I hear the clear shows dirt build up around the edges
Do you mean this one

Not at all... Touchscreen works perfectly. And works with lots of cases https://youtu.be/sScL3ZyGTgI
It only takes some time to install it correctly, you can't rush it and expect great results.
But you better check some install videos, and the topics here on xda. Since this is glued to the screen, not just a strip on the edges, this feels as good as the naked screen and no dust can get beneath
I prefer something without glue/ liquids..
Whats the best dry apply option on the market?
It's wet apply, but I've had no issues with this one besides it taking a little extra time to adhere to the curved edges. it's been perfect on my case (not the same one) and looks good as well.
