Proporta Advanced Screen Protector - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Hi guys,
Just my account of this particular screen protector, in case any of you are interested :
I have had several different screen protectors for my Neo V. I liked the OEM one which came in the box with the phone, but Sony tell me these are not available to buy separately. I have now bought three different 3rd party protectors, and the Proporta is easily the best so far.
Ease of application: Excellent - the protector separates easily and cleanly from both backing films and is stiff enough to go on without air bubbles given a careful application.
Fit: Fit is near perfect, it is about 1.5mm narrower and 1mm shorter than my screen, almost total coverage but not so tight as to be impossible to align correctly.
Clarity: Very good, with a slight noticeable reduction in brightness, but no reduction in sharpness whatsoever.
Longevity: As good as any screen protector I've ever had. Lasts me several months, but I (almost) never put the phone in the same pocket as coins, keys, etc.
Overall: Excellent. Maybe Martin Fields protectors might offer better clarity, but they cost 2-3 times as much, nearly 4 times if you buy singly.

Screen Protector - advice sought on choosing one.

I've just ordered an MDA Vario and it's going to take a little time to reach me (I'm not currently in the UK). Before it gets here I'm trying to work out which screen protector to buy. Has anyone tried the Invisible Shield protector? The material looks superb and I've read load of good things about their performance on iPods.
My current PDA is a Tungsten T3 and I have a Martin Fields screen protector on it. (MF protector for Wizard here).
I love the MF but am really interested in hearing experiences with the IS if anyone on these forums has tried it.
Yeah i want one too but was wondering, do they leave any marks when you peel them off afterwards? From the glue and stuff?
Quality screen protectors like Martin Fields and the IS should leave nothing behind after they're removed.
I think brando screen protector is not bad too. Im currently using it.
I have change 2 screen protector since I got my wizard.
- Expansys, Cant fit in properly. Bubble occur after stick in.
i've tried 3 different screen protectors, then i used pocketpctechs AG shield and i'm not gonna try anything else. It's perfect, reusable, no glue is used and installation is pretty simple. also it comes with screen cleaners and all that. highly recommended
For me brando's would be ok. I usually have the store person do the application since I can't do it on my own [I messed up 2 protectors when I tried doing it at home]. I'd say choose one that isn't adhesive but static that way no residue is left on the screen when you remove it. also most of them are washable/reusable... if you find a scratch on the side you use most often [i.e. the area along the SIP] just have it removed and re-installed reversed [not the face but the top and bottom].
The Brando ultraclear is OK. If you prefer a non-glossy one, the Brando regular is perfect (you will lose a bit of brightness).
I like www.boxwave.com 's version
They have a anti-glare, and a regular one, they are washable you can remove them and wash them under soap and water and reapply, they come with cloth cleaner, and a little scraper thing that helps get the bubbles out.
Here's a super cheap solution, and it works GREAT for me.
I went to Staples and bought a package of baseball card protector pages that are designed to fit into a 3-ring binder. The size of each card holder is just slightly larger than the screen on the MDA.
What I did was take a straight edge and X-Acto knife and cut a small piece of plastic that is a couple millimeters larger than the screen on each side. I simply tuck the plastic I've trimmed under the lip between the device and screen, and it holds in place just fine.
No adhesive, no mess, easy as pie, and the entire package of plastic sleeves was less than 3 bucks. It will surely last longer than the life of the device.

Got my second Brando regular protector (first one wasn't returned when my magician was replaced). Fits perfect, very scratch-resistant & the anti-glare is very useful while navigating in the car.

Same here.. I have used BoxWave, wich are also very good, but WriteShields from pocketpctechs are great.
I also had an "InvivibleShield" on my 8125 for a couple minutes. I installed it and saw that it was not plum on, so I went to take it off and reinstall.. When I removed it I thought I was going to pull my screen up with the protector. Stay away from those things... I then tested those claims they make on the website, about being indestructible. Pens had no trouble getting through, and scissors went through like soft butter.
$.02
I bought a boxwave and was not happy with the glare free one. I have used them on my Treos and liked them, but the one that came for my wizard sucked. It really blurred the screen and made it look like a prism. Maybe it was defective, but I ended up buying another one from javoedge and I am quite happy with it.
just my $.02

I also got an anti-glare from boxware, it does have issues however I emailed them about it and they are getting a new one that doesn't have the issues and they should have it in about a week. To make it even better they created a gift order for the new one for me.
I've tried a number of the commercial screen protectors in the past and wasn't happy with any of them. Of course, there is the ridiculous cost for a little piece of plastic.
The best solution I have found is to use clear vinyl sheeting that you can find at any fabric store, typically for a couple of dollars US per yard. Just cut to fit your screen, clean your screen, wash your hands and vinyl rectangle with liquid hand soap, shake off as much water as possible (but not all), and attach and smooth out bubbles.
Benefits:
- Minimal screen image degradation as compared to many commercial screen protectors
- No adhesives to gunk up the screen
- Lasts 6 months or so
- Easy to replace
- Costs about a nickle per cover
I also have the pocketpctechs write shield anti-glare.
Comes in a nice kit, can't tell its there when the screen is on.

I bought mine from www.nushield.com, but I haven´t been able to apply the first one to my screen.
I´ve used them on my Handspring Visor Edge and on my Himalaya with very good results, but on the Wizard, I just can´t get it installed. Will keep you posted!

Brando screen protector, Boxwave and Martin Fields are my favorites!
I've heard a lot about this Brando, but it is a bit too expensive for me for a piece of plastic. I think they are selling for GBP7+ in eBay. I wonder, is it so good? I've been looking for those 'card' type screen protector that is ultra easy to apply and bubble free because the protector itself feels like a card. Imagine, since the protector is like a card, it is impossible to get bubble under it. Anyone know where in the net I can get one card type for UK??
BTW, I've bought the 'Sensifilm' protector from eBay. It said many things, but of the two thing, antiglare and antiscractch is 100% bluff. Mine still give me glare and it has been scratched like mad with my stylus. Either the HTC is very bad in designing a stylus, or the screen protector is terribly weak. I think the weak protector is a more likely answer.
30$ for a screen protector. That is so silly. I got a protector for my psp for 6$ and it works great. Geez, pocketpctechs is a rip.
Cant i get some from a local store instead?
I can highly recommend Brando UltraClear too! Easy to attach, not visible when attached carefully, no reduction of brightness - display looks like without one (for those who do not like the reflection of the display: buy the Brando classic).

Boxwave Clear Touch Screen Protector

Has anybody every used this brand of screen protector's before? They just sent me an email saying that they have in stock screen protectors specific for the T-mobile TP2 and I am debating whether or not to buy them.
http://www.boxwave.com/products/cle...screen-protector-t-mobile-touch-pro2_3668.htm
I originally had a Martin Fields on my Touch Cruise that I loved, but they don't make the screen protectors for the T-mobile TP2
I used one on my MDA (prior to getting the TP2). I loved it (make sure to get the crystal clear, not the non-glare, if they have a choice). 3 years and looks like new, nice slick surface for using the stylus, extremely durable. But I don't have experience with any others (except the one that came in the TP2 box which I also like a lot).
Thanks for sharing!
I´ll go for one of those
The crystal clear is one of the best I've used before!
I have used the Anti-Glare version for my 6700 and 6800/Mogul and love it. I used my phone in my car alot so the Anti-Glare is a must. It also finger print resistant, I'm using the screen protector that came with the phone now and the finger print smudges are just driving me nuts! I've order one and is waiting for shipment notice.
the Anti-Glare version is a semi reigid piece of plastic that make it very easy to apply, similar to the included protector, I hate those soft floppy protector that's next to impossible to put on correctly

I've raved about it before many times, just search my posts on here and PPC geeks, but the BoxWave AntiGlare is the best screen protector for any device hands down period end of story etc!

I wouldn't say gritty, but its definitely neither frictionless or sticky and doesn't impede your fingers or stylus movement in anyway... its got a matted texture, and I really like using my stylus with that texture! more of a paper feel, offering just the right amount of feedback and friction.
You do lose a tiny bit of clarity compare to the Crystal version, but for the anti-glare, anti-finger print benefit, I love it!
finger prints and face oil on the stock screen protector have been driving me nuts!
I'm supposed to get it today but heading out of town for a wedding this weekend so may not have a chance to report or upload pix until monday
Thanks for the report, i can imagine a paper texture! i think i may order one. cheers
What do you all think of these dedicated screen protectors, as compared to using the screen cover provided by invisibleSHIELD or Bodyguardz? Are the ones you all mentioned, or from "BoxWave" better because they are made specifically for the purpose of screen protection? Or are the I.S. or Bodyguardz ones comparable, since they are built to offer all around protection?

Personally, the 3M crowd is better because then you don't have to worry about the screen protector getting scratched.
I had purchased a Boxwave Anti-Glare before and it worked decently, but the amount of glare it reduced was negated by the amount of brightness that needed to be increased.
Boxwave, in my opinion, works if you have a case protecting it. But trying doing this with a Boxwave.

NOT gritty.
I have used Boxwave screen protectors for years and have NEVER been disappointed. Excellent longlasting product that your stylus simply glides across; I have settled on the Anti-Glare. One post says that Boxwave isn't TOTALLY scratch-free like some other 'full-body' clear protectors. Correct. However, personally I do not like the idea of spraying a liquid all over my device in the application process. 'Full-body' protectors are applied just like installing tinting on you car's windows.
Suggested application procedure.
Before beginning I have two clean microfiber cloths; one is included. Clean your phone's screen well; preferably w/one of those microfiber cloths. Close windows in bathroom, run shower on hot a bit & turn off. Moisture will pull all the dust outta the air and drag it to the floor. Vent heat (u don't want it to be uncomfortable in there).
Now that all the floating dust is negated, clean your screen again w/the the other microfiber cloth and apply protector. It is helpul to have some tape applied to a corner or two of the protector. Utilizing the tape, lift and reapply as needed using the supplied squeegee or a credit card to clear out bubbles; you may need to lift protector and use the microfiber cloth to pick up some lint/debris to ensure a clean install.
You should have a lint- and bubble-free application if you were careful.
Good luck from Lincoln!
I just got the new Boxwave ClearTouch Crystal screen protector for my T-Mobile TP2: http://www.boxwave.com/products/cle...screen-protector-t-mobile-touch-pro2_3668.htm
I had previously had a Boxwave on my MDA. That has lasted 3 years with no signs of wear, and I was extremely pleased with the fit and feel, so was hoping to do the same for my TP2. I researched all of the competition and read many forum posts on the subject. My main criteria were:
1) quality
2) exact fit
3) feel with finger and stylus
4) longevity
Price was less of a concern as I am hoping I will only ever need just the one for my TP2 (if my previous experience with the MDA is anything to go by), and so the lower priced ones, or the ones that came with 2 or 3 in the pack, were not a strong selling point for me.
The other main one I narrowed it down to was the Bodyguardz, and I probably would have got that if the Boxwave hadn't been coming out soon.
Boxwave advertised pre-orders were available for October 9th shipping. I searched high and low but couldn't google a single coupon code, so ended up paying full price of $12.95 + $2.50 shipping. They shipped a day or so late, and because of the long holiday weekend it arrived a little later than it probably could have, but as far as shipping, packaging, tracking go, I give Boxwave an A-
I had actually been perfectly happy with the screen protector supplied by HTC, but as others have noted, in some cases it may have been a tiny bit too large, causing bubbles along one edge. I think I had put it on pretty perfectly, but then, in my obsessive need for perfection, had pulled it off a little and proceeded to snip away too much screen in an attempt to get it to fit just right, making for an install that now looked a bit messy and with a bit of glass exposed along a jaggedy edge of protector. But the Boxwave fit perfectly, and very easily, just using the instructions on the package (i.e. I just put it on dry, no sprays or water). I did steam up the kitchen a bit first to try to remove dust, and obsessively cleaned the screen for 10 minutes before attempting the install. On my first attempt I started from the short top edge and that caused a problem as the protector was now not aligned correctly down the right side, so I pulled it up and laid it down again from the long left edge, making for a much easier alignment. However, when I had pulled up the protector from the first attempt, I had used the little plastic card to ease up the protector; I think I caused some very minor damage to the protector at the point of contact, as there is now a tiny minor bubble there that is probably caused by a kink I may have made in the plastic. I'll work on smoothing that out, but it's off the screen and very minor (however, let that be a warning to others to be extremely careful if you need to lift the plastic off. I tried using sticky tape but the suction was too strong for it to get a grip, and using something like a pin seemed like potential to damage the screen.) For fit and finish and ease of installation, I give Boxwave an A (and me a B- )
The surface of the 'Crystal' clear screen (I don't know how different the 'anti-glare' version would be) is very slick. In fact looking at it, touching it, sliding my finger across it, and using the stylus on it, seems exactly the same as the actual glass screen on the phone. I went into notepad and made a new note so I could doodle with the stylus. With almost no pressure I could draw lines about 90% of the time, the rest it would skip a little. But with just a tiny amount of pressure, about what you would probably use in normal use, it was at 100% coverage, with practically no drag feeling, just a nice slippery but not too slippery feel. Sliding with my finger is fantastic, I can now scroll through the programs screen much easier than I did with the original HTC. For sensitivity and surface texture I give it an A+
Overall I give Boxwave and the Cleartouch an A+. I am reminded of that old Memorex commercial 'Is it real, or is it Memorex', because looking at the phone right now, I can't tell it has a screen protector, it looks just like glass. I am sure there are others out there as good, although I doubt there are any much better. There are certainly other quality ones that are much cheaper, $15 seems like a crazy price to pay for a piece of plastic. Others come with 2 or 3 protectors, and many have coupon codes you can find on Google. And others, like Bodyguardz, come with a solution for complete protection, not just the screen. Of course time will tell, but based on my A+ experience with Boxwave on my MDA, I really am quite confident of the same longevity and performance on the TP2.
One happy customer.
I've used Boxwave screen protectors and accessories for the past several years, and I can honestly say I've been always 100% pleased. I've used both the antiglare and clear protectors, and prefer the clear ones - but it's all a matter or preference, but overall a good purchase.
First, Boxwave screen protectors have always been my standard. I've tried a couple other types (mostly what's been included with devices or what I can find in retail stores) and won't likely be messing around with that again. I personally prefer the "crystal" models over the anti-glare because I didn't like the affect of the anti-glare pattern on the display. It kind of gave it a fuzzy moire pattern. The crystal basically looks like those super glossy laptop screens - looks great in low/medium lighting but could be a problem in certain direct light situations. Still, the trade-off is worth it to me.
Second, does anyone know if any of the existing TP2 protectors will fit the AT&T Tilt 2? The European/UK model looks not ideal because of the front camera hole and the T-mobile version appears to have a slightly different button layout on the bottom. Both the Verizon and Sprint models look right to me on the web page, but Boxwave support just says to submit a request and wait. I would prefer to get a protector on mine ASAP but am reluctant to order if the fit isn't right.
Daniel
bought one for my Sprint Touch Pro 2, it applied perfectly and not noticeable at all. I prefer it way over the invisibleshield I had on my Vogue which was too rubbery and reflective.
Am I correct to think the Boxwave screen protector for the Sprint TP2, Verizon TP2, and the ATT Tilt 2 are the exact same thing? I have been looking at pictures and the screen shapes look identical. The only different ones are the T-mobile and the front facing camera versions.
Thanks!

Pics: Boxwave ClearTouch Anti-Glare vs OEM(HTC) Screen protector

Finally... my saga ended....
Order the Boxwave 9/28... somehow DHL/USPS lost my first order... boxwave made me wait till 10/14 before they would confirm the lost and ship me a replacement.
Now the replacement shipment finally arrived!
*as an aside, I think anyone who order the Sprint/VZW version with the GSM Front camera hole will be getting a free replacement without the hole from Boxwave!*
All pix, left is default HTC Screen protector included with the Sprint TP2
1 and 2 are both from unglare angle both with screen on 100% brightness
3 are from glare angle from a ceiling florescent light in my office
4-5 with LCD backlight brightness set to lowest (in hindsight i guess I should have done half brightness)
6-7 with LCD off
Pros
finger print resistant
anti-glare
less reflection/mirror (unless you want to use the screen as a makeshift mirrio þ )
nice textured feel when using stylus/finger
Con
some speckaling with light background
some lost in contrast/clairty
Another poster in a different ask if its "gritty"
answer would be when you first got it, its a little bit gritty, but after using it for half a day it would smooth out and no longer gritty at all
You do have to apply a tiny bit more pressure with the Boxwave AG vs the OEM SP, but its easy to get used to that.
The Boxwave was about 1mm shorter than the OEM SP (OEM being perfect fit) but this is acceptable and give some space to lift off the SP if necessary. (see near the buttons)
hope this help!
I would be glad to answer any questions, but may not reply instantly
and No i do not work for boxwave!
Thanks for the pics. Unfortunately it was a day too late, as I had already ordered mine after debating crystal vs anti-glare. This makes me feel better though that the grains of the AG won't be too bad on this screen. I had AG on my Vogue, and I really loved how it made fingerprints much less noticeable, but I was worried that the texture might look bad on a phone screen with more pixels than my first 15" monitor.
Looks very similar to the Brando AntiGlare protector.
I'm still kicking myself I didn't get in on the $0+$3ship brando AG deal when I saw it

AT&T Tilt 2 Screen Protector?

I don't see that screen protectors have been discussed recently, so I'm looking for suggestions/experiences for screen only protectors (I'm a flip case kind of gal, so I have no worries about the body).
I'm one of those weirdos who is very careful (and lucky) with cell phones, so I'm looking for something with minimal interference with the screen sensitivity. I'm defecting back after 2 years of using an iPhone without a single scratch on the screen (nor are there any scratches on my 8525 or my Treo or the 8125) in spite of extensive use, and I'm already loving being able to use my fingernails again
I'll greatly appreciate any suggestions/experiences on what's worked well . . . or what hasn't worked. Ease of application is a plus as my 8525 to this day has a tiny bubble I never was able to eliminate . . .
Also, I hope this is an appropriate place to express my gratitude for this forum. When I found it, I was vacillating between the Tilt 2 & the LG eXpo, and comments here nudged me into my decision: I brought my Tilt 2 home yesterday
TIA!
The screen protectors that AT&T sell for the Tilt 2 work really well, are easy to apply, and are a good deal (3 for $10).
I briefly used the AT&T-supplied screen protector. I switched to an eBay full-body protector, but was unhappy with the way it was cut - didn't fit the Tilt2 very well. I replaced that with the BodyGuardz full body protector and it's a much better fit. I recently removed the BodyGuardz screen protector (but still using the body protector) and installed an anti-glare screen protector from Boxwave.
I had no complaints about screen sensitivity with any of them. The original AT&T screen protector and the one from Boxwave feel "slick", are a more rigid plastic and they didn't really adhere to the screen very well around the edges. The ebay one and the BodyGuardz feel a bit "rubbery", adhere better to the screen and any bubbles will work themselves out after a day or so.
I don't really have a preference one over the other - for me it came down to a preference for a less glossy screen.
Hy! You can try and have a look about what other are saying here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605241 or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=571172 or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=594029
In short, there are 3 majors options:
Zagg's Invisible Shield - found here http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-tilt-2-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
Bodyguardz - found here http://www.bodyguardz.com/content/accessories/1-12--2393.htm
Gadget Shieldz - found here http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/att-ti...nvisible-shields-screen-protectors-skins.html
The main difference between them is the price, the first 2 cost 25$ each, but Bodyguardz offers 2 kits and both sellers offer lifetime warranty, third is pretty much the same but whitout the fancy package and alot more cheaper.
Try reading all the topic's I gave you and you will find some discount coupons for each seller. The rest is up to you to decide which one suits you better!
Cheers!
Check out WMExperts store
@ sslund,
I can totally appreciate your minor obsession over the "right" screen protector for your device. When I first recieved my TP2, I was using the crappy Rocketfish iPhone screen protectors that I would cut to size. They provided good scratch protection but there was a lot of color separation, meaning they kind of scintillated a red-green pattern over the display which sucked. I then tried the ATT's offering which I didn't like either.
On a whim I bought these from WMExperts Store and have been very happy with them. I cannot post the link as per forum rules, but search their site for "Smartphone Experts Screen Protectors (3-Pack) for AT&T Tilt2"
They do not scratch unlike some of the cheaper Fellows products, nor are they really even noticeable. They are removable, washable, and can be reapplied, which I've successfully done - as long as you're patient in the drying process so as to not get dust stuck to them (air dry), re-application actually works! I did have to cut the sides down a bit as it was just a hair too wide, but that's more of a personal preference. Since they are removable, I've only used one of the three since I got my TP2 in October.
Of course YMMV, but given em a shot and good luck!
I really like my body guardz. thicker and doesnt have a smuge if i touch it like the one that came with the phone.
I would like to install a new shield on my screen but I can't tell if the original is removable and what the recommended method of removal would be if it is.
Clarivue ultra clears are REALLY nice and clear and tough. They come two to a pack. I cought some from a guy on ebay for like $9 shipped. They were real retail clarivues.

If you are referring to the flimsy protective film that ships on the device? It is removable. Otherwise you would need to try and look through the message that is pre-printed on it.
If you mean the protector that is shipped in the box, well that is also removable if you have attached it.
If you mean ANY screen cover, then the answer is still yes. They are all removable.
Use your finger nail, a toothpick, a credit card, or similar device to pry it off of the screen.
Very simple and rudementary.

[Q] Anti-glare screen protector

I use my tablet mainly out doors, in a vehicle. I found the glare to make it nearly unusable, especially for video. I had ordered the skinomi screen kit based on suggestions here but ordered it before I realized that glare was going to be such a large factor.
The threads I found though were from a few months ago and were mostly focusing on perfect fit. Reducing daylight glare is a far greater concern for me over perfect fit. I've read a lot of people trying and having issues with Nushield's dayvue skin and I'm also looking at the one from B and E. Anyone have experience with these or others?
I'm planning to return the skinomi kit unless someone has found it to reduce daylight glare.
I agree that an anti-reflective anti-glare film is by far the most important thing to me.
Honestly the computer industry needs to look towards the eye glass industry when it comes to such matters. In fact I personally sent an email to HTC about such a thing & all I got is a "We'll pass it along to the appropriate dept". I saved my emails just in case.
Take for instance Crizal Lenses (which is what I wrote to HTC about). These lenses are fingerprint, dust, dirt, scratch & water resistant. On top of that they are anti-reflective, anti-glare & enhance color & clarity..what more could you ask for? I can't say for sure if it is a film or coating, it doesn't matter. If the electronics industry would utilize such a thing i thing we'd have a winner here.
I wonder what an eyeglass shop would say if you brought your gtablet in and asked them to put the antiglare coating on. leneses get a coating for the scratch resistance and glare reduction, not sure why they couldn't coat your screen glass the same way.
