How can I get rid of it? Cleaning it doesn't seem to do anything. Does this happen to all anti-glare screen protectors?
Anyone?

I think that's normal while using a matte type screen guard. I use one, and I have the same appearance.
matte screen protectors > +prevents the hand fats after usage ,+ gives a great screen feeling ,-it gives distortion as u posted
normal screen protector >> nothing just for protecting :silly:
Oh wow... I wasn't expecting that. I watched some reviews etc. to see how the screen looked in YouTube, as apparently it makes the image slightly distorted (which it doesn't) and those people didint have this issue. I thought it's like in some TVs or PC monitors. The image is matte, doesn't reflect as much light and doesn't have this fuzzy stuff.
Does anyone at least know what is causing the fuzziness? Is it something in the screen protector, like glue that was sticking the top and middle layer together, or is it the light reflecting? If it is the glue, then I could get some alcohol or cleaning substance and get rid of it hopefully.

its the material of the screen protector since its matte ,, it consists horizontal deviated lines which u cant remove and they are the cause of this distortion

Thanks to everyone who helped. I think I will get used to it. Having my screen matte is really beneficial ;D
I don't know if I'm getting used to it or it's going off, but it seems like the dots are becoming smaller and smaller...

Clove sells a universal cut-to-fit mirrored screen protector from Echo, for £6 gbp. As if our HD's weren't sexy enough already. I'm going to try one of these. I think I'll just stick the full sheet on, then trim it with an exacto knife. But I'm worried about trimming the small receiver speaker hole. Any suggestions?
with a scalpel?a pointed one...
why not use the original screen protector as a template?
although i would imagine you will need a sharp blade, a good eye and a steady hand to not make it look like a pile of poop
i would think these protectors are meant for those screens that are recessed rather than full frontal (oo eerrr) like the HD is

I bought one of these on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Mirror-Screen-P...h=item220335185106&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262
Fit is perfect (no camera hole), but the colours on screen are a bit weird and screen seems darker. Took it off after a week or so.
Ebay...

whats the screen like when backlit? is it clear? what about texture when scrolling and using stylus?
I had this installed on my HD 2 weeks back. looks nice and shiny, but thats all to it. (bought from ebay)
Drawbacks:
1. The mirror coating is not smooth all over, if u see the above pics, u will see distortion in image on the upper right corner.
2. Very Very bad under the SUN! i really have to cover it totally with my hand, or take it in under a shade to see the screen. (u win some, u lose some!) Good for a few days as a fancy, but then now i am going to remove it off and put a normal clear one again. Had it running all the time on Full brightness - load on battery too! Its good enough indoors with full brightness only, cant use the Auto Brightness control.
I have this on my wife's iphone too, which i got from Javoedge - very good quality that is, and no distortions, but it is a bit thick!
Back in the day I had a palm tungsten T. This came with a clear polcarbonate screen cover which could be clipped on the front of the device to protect the screen whilst in your pocket. Or could be clipped onto the back of the device for storage whilst in use.
This seems like such a great idea - I can't understand why it hasn't caught on.
The large screen of the touch HD seems particularly vulnerable and there are a great number of cases/skins on the market that provide virtually zero protection to the screen.
Has anyone come across this type of removable, hard screen cover for the touch hd?
Was the Tungsten a touch screen?
Seems like a hard cover wouldn't be possible with the touch screen.
Not that I want to blow anyone's bubble here, but been using the HD since it came out with no screen protector whatsoever and till now there's not a single hairline scratch on the screen. Using the pouch that came with it though and doing nothing special, not even cleaning the screen (hand and face grease) makes it a bit slippery and it actually protects better than having a shiny, "dry" and clean screen. That's my experience with it.
As for the question, every screen protector reduces the screen sensitivity by a bit. A thick or solid screen protector will reduce it considerably/completely since it will not allow the foils of the touchscreen to be connected and register input.
Yes, the tungsten T was touchscreen,
...and I'm not concerned about small scratches on the screen. I'm sure that the disposable thin plastic screen protectors are easily up to the job for that. Rather, I am worried (for example) that I might bang my leg on the corner of a table with the touch HD in my pocket. This could easilly smash the screen. Since I have signed up to a two year contract with this phone I want to give it the best possible chance of survivng that long.
You both seem to have missed the point a bit. The screen protector is removed when you are actually using the device. It can be unclipped and attached to the back of the device for temporary storage.
Since the screen protector is removed from the screen whilst in use there is absolutely no reduction in screen sensitivity.
However the tough polycarbonate cover means the screen is completely protected whilst the device is in your pocket.
The thing looked like this for the Tungsten T.. obviously the cover would have to be specifically molded to whichever device.

Has anyone treid any of these. Want to know if it covers all of the phone and how about a screen protector then and what the quality is like?

That's very nice. I was searching for such a site. Maybe I will buy one for my Touch Pro2 and PlayStation3. I like the design of the covers.
When I buy some, I'll let you know!
Greetz,
GastJT
P.S. Sorry for my bad English. I'm Dutch, you know.
There was a thread on here about 6 months ago with a similar thing and one guy had pics where moisture had got underneath the the protector he had on and it made a right mess don't know if these will do the same tho
interesting that they give you a matching background... well thought out product for sure!
I just ordered the carbon-fiber setup. Will post my experience when it comes in.
thats pretty cool, gotta look into this lol
Got mine in today. About all these are good for is personalization and minor scratch protection of unimportant areas. The battery cover half only covers part way and will only protect from scratches when laying the phone down flat. The cutouts are perfectly positioned and lining the skin up is easy, but be careful not to stretch the thin material.
The front skin is less impressive. Unlike in the photos, it does not cover the chrome trim at all. It is exactly the same shape and size as a die-cut screen protector, but the screen area is open. If you use one of those types of screen protectors then this skin is little more than adornment. If you use the square-cut type then it has to be larger than the skin's opening, which is exact to the Tilt's viewable screen area. This means there will be some degree of overlap. You could cut a screen protector to fit the skin's opening, but the likelihood of getting it perfect and without gaps is not high. Again, be careful not to stretch it when applying, especially the very thin sides.
To get the included wallpaper you have to go to a website and enter a key that comes with the skin and verify your e-mail address used to order. It will then be sent in an e-mail. I tried to use it with SPB Mobile Shell and it was magnified and all pixelated for some strang reason. Didn't try it with Manila since I'm no longer using that UI.
I guess if you want a custom look to the outside of your phone, it's worth the $12 (with shipping), but don't expect a lot of protection from it. Also, when you pass a finger over the edge where it meets the device you can feel it. Probably won't be long before it starts lifting and getting all unglued or ragged.
hey Miami.... post some photos of the finished application if you can.

Here's a fuzzy closeup of the edge. You can feel it when you pass a finger over it and it will probably be no time before it starts to lift. I've already got a ragged edge right where the stylus goes in from nicking it with my fingernails. I'll leave it be as long as I can, but I don't expect it to stay on too long.
Anybody use these? They look pretty cool! I'm planning to just put it on the back only (to protect the bottom glass when laying it on a surface). Might order a set of carbon fiber black, or that dark wood!

I considered one of these but i just cant imagine how painful and frustrating it would be applying it. Screen protectors already can be so frustrating haha. If you do please share pics of the after product!
I ordered the silver/white carbon fiber, it's the only easy way to make my black Xperia Z3 white.... T-mobile USA carry just the black version geez.
Looks like super high quality material.
Sent using my Xperia Z3 while underwater
Is this stuff sticking well to the curved areas?
No it didn't stick well to the curved areas. I applied one and withing 2 days it was coming off.
I ordered the Dark Wood one. I'll let you know how it is when I get it.
Enfurno, did you try to re-attach after briefly using a hair dryer? I've seen that suggestion across the Skinomi site, and I'm curious if that helps at all.
Just updating the purchase. I bought the black carbon fiber one. It was very easy to apply and sticks really well (I only applied the rear, not the sides). The cut is very accurate to the phone, with a 1mm gap too thin on one side. So far so good.
The pic does not do justice.
I hear there is a thanks giving sale/discount.
I got the Dark Wood one recently and applied it. The small pieces were a bit of a pain, but using a hair dryer helps to install them. The backside went on very easily. It looks great, I'll try to upload some pics soon.
Also, I'd like to confirm that the 'self healing' does in fact work. I got a rather large nasty scratch on the backside which initially wouldn't "heal", but when I applied heat (I put my hot coffee mug on it, but again, the hair dryer is your friend here) the scratch got less deep and smaller. It's almost gone now, but I think it needs a little more help.
Im looking into getting the Z3 and I have a Z2 today. I want like a rubbery backside because my hands are very dry and its alittle bit slippery. Which one would be best to get to have that rubber feeling?
Does Skinomi deliver to sweden?
I got my hands on a S3(i9300), it is in a perfect condition but there is this bubble like thing right in the middle of the screen. Touch screen works fine but even the gentlest tap on the screen makes the bubble bigger. And if I pull the battery and push from behind it gets smaller or if I bend the phone in a certain way a little sometimes it diseappears completely. I believe the glass touches the panel or something.
And the other day while trying to clean the screen, I sprayed a bit more cleaner than usual and it got in and started to interfere with the touches and left kinda marks under the glass. Touchscreen is working fine again but it is really annoying me. Is there a way to get rid of this ? Any help would be appreciated.

This is as small as it gets, but as I said earlier slight pressure makes it bigger again.
Sounds like there is a crack in the glass which allowed the cleaner to seep in between the glass and lcd.
You'll have to have the glass removed, clean the lcd, and replaced with new glass.

I bought one of those suction cups and stuck it to the screen and pulled it, the glass came off a little bit from the left side and the bubble like thing disappeared now but it appears the glass is not very well glued. Some dust entered but it is better than having a huge black spot in the middle. Now I wanna get rid of the marks cleaner left under the glass.
Would it work if I removed the glass, clean it and the LCD and use the same glass again?
It might but you would still need a way to prevent dust from getting back in. I'm not sure about the s3 but the glass may need to be bonded to the LCD with uv glue to prevent this from happening again.
