Hey all.
1 month ago i bought the M.F screen protector, i heard it is one of the best screen protectors for the HD.
well 1 month, and i am very disappointed, it got scratches from nothing!
the screen looks and feels like there is sand on it, if you know what i mean. i Barely used it.
and its pretty expansive - 17$.
the funny thing is, that even with the stylus pen, when i was scrolling on the screen some times it was scratching it!
the stylus is not damaged so that it could hurt the screen.
im looking for a better SCREEN PROTECTOR.
can someone give me any suggestion?
very strange, i've used a martin fields protector since my HD arrived in February and there isn't a mark on mine
the protectore looks like a mess...all little scratches. when im using the stylus you can really feel them and hear it...
even the old screen protector i got feels and looks better than MF..
well nothing that i can do really about it, have any suggestions for another SP?
I personally have used Clarivue screen protectors on all my phones for a long time. They aren't scratch proof, but pretty resistant. They cost like 12 bux and you get a pack of 2, so they're not that expensive.
The fitment is perfect and a great way to hide scratches
ill check it out too..tnx
At least for me, Martin Fields, are the best ones. I've using for a long time in all my devices. Good quality, good service.
How can I said? Please, be in touch with Martin Fields by e-mail and I sure they will replace it.
Me too, mine looks like it's been shaped with a tin can opener around the top edge, covered in scratches after a week, looks genuine, bought of ebay uk.
Well.
some peoples say they are one of the bests, some people has the same problems, maybe we got ourselfs a fake? can that be possible?
or maybe factory defect?
even friends of mine says thos shields are the bests...thats strange,
in what kind of cases you got your Screen protectors?
mine was inside one that you have to cut to use it..it looked kinda cheap, but who knows
does sound like the people with poor experiences have bought fakes as my martin fields, as stated above, has been excellent (like the one i had on my N95 beforehand).
I bought mine from morpeth mobiles in the UK, as I never really trust ebay sellers
i bought mine from the MARTIN FIELDS main site...
here are some pics of the SP on my HD.
http://yfrog.com/5fimg0537nj
http://yfrog.com/5iimg0536lj
thats after i cleaned the screen with special cleaning material...that i use for LCD screens
look at the scratch in the middle, its huge, cause from a key.
the SP suposed to be with a protection from thos kind of scratches as i know...i barely touched with the key on the screen
nevermind removed
I also have scratches on my Martin Fields screen.
It's ridiculous because I keep my HD in a special mobile-case and then in my bag. I don't put it in pockets or with keys.
It's also delicately handled so it's ridiculous that it has a quite clear scratch mark.
Really very disappointing.
yea i told myself thats the last time im buying them...
the next is ZAGG or brando, they look great.
My MF protector also has lots of scratches on it. I bought it from their main site so it can't be fake. Am sure it says also that they have high scratch resistance when they clearly do not. They are expensive. Do you think if I complain they will send me another one? Even my protector that came in the HTC box was better and also a better flush fit. The MF one is shorter.
you right
the MF is a bit shorter..
i dont know if they will send you a new one fuz i did not try that my self...
i dont feel like waiting 1-2 weeks for another to come...i dont want another one if they look like that, high scratch resistance they are not..
Dusty Martin Fields
The original HD sheild that came with my HD was too tight a fit to get on properly. It also seemed tough and seemed to make the screen less touch responsive.
So I bought a pair of MF shields for $40 Au.(normally 1 for $30).
When I applied the shield, there must have been a lot of dust in the air, even though it was a very rainy night. (I should vacuum more often.)
I kept getting specs under the shield. I tried using sticky tape to remove the dust, as per instructions but the more I removed and replaced it, the worse it got. In the end I left it in place.
It is a very good shield. Clear, tough but flexible so that the touch response is not noticably affected. It is a perfect fit for the HD, with a 1/2 mm gap around the edge. The dust is visible in a certain light and looks like a lot of random scratches about 1 mm long. Sometimes it really seems scratched up, but it's not. After a couple of months of very heavy stylus use(about 50 reflashes too), the surface is pristine.
One day I will replace it with the second shield and try not to get any dust under it.
Had my CP Armor one from ebay nearly 4 months now, No a single mark on it. Seeing as i quite often drop my phone onto the pavement or road its going pretty well!
Are you sure you removed the second layer off the screen protector?
The TP2 relies on much more touch-screen action than previous T-Mobile HTC devices, e.g. Wing. I am trying to find the pros/cons of using a screen protector for the TP2, but so far, not finding much. Is a screen protector really that important for a TP2? I am ok with not using one, but if one is necessary, can anyone tell me why? I wonder if a screen protector is more of a personal choice than a technical necessity...
I find a screen protector is more of personal preference, i use it for peice of mind so i dont have to be extra careful when using my screen and also when i play music on my tp2 i put it facedown as the speakers are on the back and i have done that before on a previous phone and scratched the screen as there was dirt on the table. also if you put it in your pocket without its cover and you forget about coins or keys in there, you can say goodbye to your nice shiny screen. So i know if the screen ever gets scratched i just peel off the protector ansd put a new one on.

I've had my TP2 for about three months now and i've not used a screen protector. I'm quite carefull with the device and i use the pouch every time i put it in a pocket.
I'd like a matte screen protector because fingerprints annoy me to no end, waiting on boxwave to make one because when I had the mogul I used those and they were awesome... but uhm yeah I don't think it's necessary if you're careful with it. Most people I know with the iphone don't use one, and the screen seems similar. There's always that chance you leave you phone in your lap and get up and then BANG (yeah that definitely just happened to my Mogul last week) so I keep a screen protector on just in case. Performance wise, I don't notice it being less responsive when I use the protector, but then again I haven't used it without one much... Isn't there a CAB somewhere to boost touch sensitivity? Wonder if it will work on this...
You want to try the full body shield by zagg they are based in utah where i am from and their crap is the best quality and lifetime warranty
The Zagg one is still being developed, I wonder if the bodyguardz one is just as good...
Brando Screen Protector
I ordered the Brando Screen Protector however i noticed TMO TP2 is different from the other ones being sold. I wonder if anyone has been able to make it the Brando Screen protector work with the TMO TP2.
Product Code: MUCSP041200 for the Touch Pro 2
mobile.brando.com
I'm using the stock screen protector that comes with the tmo version. It was kind of hard to fit on the screen because it is so perfectly cut to the size of the screen and plastic all the way around the buttons and earpiece. It's been fine so far, I ordered a couple off ebay when I got the phone but I think I'm gonna just keep the stock one on there.
Clearprotector uses the same "stuff" as Zagg and they have a T-Mobile TP2 version.

I ordered one and I didn't like the fit. It didn't go all the way to the edges. The top and bottom were too short.
I stuck the bundled one back one since it has a perfect fit. Only problem I have is I somehow made to tiny creases/bumps which is causing to small air bubbles on the edge.
I would not use a device like this without a good screen protector. I used to not care until I got a scratch on the screen protector of my last phone from an unexpected drop and scrape. It would have ruined my screen.
The stock screen protector is very good, it just takes a surgon to put it on because it is laser precise and perfectly cut to the screen. I had to use a razor blade to trim about 1 to 2mm off the left edge to get rid of an air pocket that was resting on about a 1mm lip. (I don't suggest trying it if you don't have a steady hand)
But I'm looking at a full body screen protector to put on next. I ordered a rubber snap on cover, but I don't want to ruin the look and feel of the device. And the phone is big enough already - don't want to make it more bulky. I've been seeing one on ebay saying that it's used to coat helicoptor blades and has a lifetime warranty and all that. Just waiting for someone to order one and review it.

I also got this screen protector from Brando (same model as yours, as far as I can tell) for my T-Mo TP2...and it doesn't quite fit properly -- it's obviously made for the international/original version with the curved chrome trim on the front. That is, it fits on the phone, but the top and bottom of the front outside the screen aren't covered. And I had to trim out the ear-speaker hole on the protector a little because apparently the distance between the bottom-buttons and the ear-speaker are different between the intrntnl and the TMo versions.
Still, I'm using it anyway (even though it looks funky) just so I can protect that beautiful screen...but when/if one is specifically made for the TMo TP2 I'll get that one.
Other than not fitting exactly right, I do like the protector clarity and sensitivity, and I was able to apply it without bubbles.
UPDATE:
OK, I see now that I ordered what I thought was the same protector, but I ordered mine from "shop.brando.com", rather than "mobile.brando.com" -- What's the difference -- more than one brando.com site?? And my product code is different. (SUCSP083500 vs MUCSP041200)
Looking again at the shop.brando.com page for the product I ordered -- 10 days after I ordered it and 3 days after I received it -- that while the T-Mobile version is listed under intended "Models" there's also a footnote saying it's not compatible with the T-Mobile version. I don't think that footnote was there when I ordered it.
I wonder if the version sold at the mobile.brando.com site, Product Code MUCSP041200 really fits the T-Mo TP2? If so, I'll go ahead and order one...or 2.
Not affiliated to this vendor in any way.
Ordered last week, arrived in 2 days (even allowing for poor weather & Christmas run up).
Perfect fit with full retail packaging, instructions & cleaning cloth

Do these have a slight curve on the bottom to properly fit the SanFran because in the pic they look straight?
TIA
Yes they are curved at the bottom, I guess they just used a stock image for the advert.
Additionally I should add that they are obviously cut for the SF as they are longer than the i900 ones that people have been using & they cover the whole screen, including black surround right up to the buttons.
They are currently £4.95 for 6 including postage, they must be popular as the price has risen since I got mine.
Excellent, just what I wanted to know, TYVM.
The cheapest I think
I found this "standart" ( samsung i900 ) screen protectors on eBay.
Item id 200542528537
Just 1.44$ for 5 items + Fiber clothing. Ordered but didn't received yet.
Hi all, this is my first ever post:
I find a Samsung i900 screen protector fits perfectly, I have one on my ZTE Blade now!
If anyone has noticed, Invisibleshield is selling Screen Protector or Full Body made especially for ZTE Blade.
Does the screen without the protector get scratched very easily? I just bought my Blade and not sure if I should buy the protector or not.
I had the protector on my Omnia 2, but I thought that the screen on Blade is better.
Even if the screen is tough, it's common sense to protect it. A screen protector worth a couple of pounds might just save you having to replace the screen/phone.
Use them all the time screen is still as new and I use my step for work
Sent from my Blade using XDA Premium App
Dont like my protectors from ebay because I can only use every second .
The stickers on the protectors leave big marks on them.
I dont like to use screen protectors, the screen never feels right.
I just wanted to warn anyone who has the phone, I have ordered 4 different tempered glass screen protectors from Amazon and they were all labeled "huawei p9 plus" but once they arrive they are for the regular p9. they might fix this eventually but as of today 5/27/16 they seems to be selling the same thing with different packaging. here are the one i bought that did not fit.

I will try and contact the sellers and see if they plan on getting the correct size and will update here when i hear back.
thanks for the heads up
do you where to buy a good one ?
Unfortunately the P9 plus don't come with factory installed screen protector film. Im looking to buy one online but the Nillkin ones does not cover the curved part of the screen

I still havent found anywhere in the US to get a good tempered glass for the plus. I have ordered some from ebay... but they probably wont be here for another 10-20 days since its coming from china lol.
Finally received on today that is actually for the p9 Plus! now it is the same as the previous poster said NILKINs was, it does not go all the way to the edges due to the curved screen edge but It works great for me and is closer than any other ones i have ordered. I still have some on the way so if i get one better i will let you guys know.
heads up, It does comes from china, took 7 days for it to get to me.. thats not bad!

I received one of these from ebay today, looks pretty decent and seems to be the right size. I haven't fitted it yet as I got a custom (non tempered glass) matte screen protector fitted at a shopping mall while waiting for this to arrive. I may fit the tempered glass one depending on how I get on with the matte one.

Anything new concern P9+ in tempered glass screen protector or wallet case?
hi, can anyone confirm whether they've found a P9 Plus screen protector that covers the entire front of the phone? I know earlier two members said they might have found them but neither had put the glass on yet. i ask because i got two here in HK, and neither actually fit the phone's front completely (it does cover 95% of the screen, while not covering the side bezels at all... it just looks ugly because you can see the edges of the protector looking at the phone straight on). i suspect most sellers are passing off P9 screen protectors as P9 Plus ones, as the OP mentioned, this has happened on eBay too.
Any glass recommendations for the BLU R1 HD device?
I am looking for the same. I found some on AMZN but dont know if to bite the bullet on them.
Amazon Screen Protectors
Honestly I wasn't going to put one on, because for me it's just a cheap backup, But after one day of use I already have a few very small scratches on the top right hand corner, Gorilla Glass 3 isn't doing great and my OCD is already bothering me.
If I get scratches on the actual screen area I'll lose it lol
On Amazon their are three choices and honestly they very well may all be manufactured by the same company based on the listings
BLU R1 HD Screen Protector [Tempered Glass], Popsky 0.26MM Ultra Thin 9H Hardness High Definition HD Scratch Proof Premium Screen Protector Glass Protective Film $8.50 w/ Shipping
[2 Pack] BLU R1 HD Screen Protector, Nearpow® [Tempered Glass] Screen Protector with [9H Hardness] [Crystal Clear] [Easy Bubble-Free Installation] [Scratch Resist] $9.99 - Free Prime Shipping
BLU R1 HD Tempered Glass Screen Protetor, Vikoo Scratch Proof 0.26MM Ultra-thin 9H Hardness Shatterproof High Definition HD Ultra Clear Screen Protector Glass for BLU R1 HD Phone - $8.30 with shipping
They are all 0.26MM
They all have 2.5D edges (which should match better with the 2.5d screen
They all have oleophobic coating
They all list Anti scratch/shatter/explosion.
My advice would be that if you want a backup protector and have prime go for the second one, otherwise the last one is 20 cents cheaper and most likely they are all the same screen protector just repacked by different companies which is extremely common. For a buck and some change more I'll probably go with the second one and let you know how it goes.
I ordered the one from Nearpow. I will update this when it comes in and I install on my BLU R1 HD.

Looking forward to your review as I'm looking at that one myself.
I got this one early on.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I61Y33Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
When I received the product, it didn't look like the one in the picture. Honestly, the shape and the cut outs looked like the other ones you listed. Fit was horrible. The Blu has a lot of curve and the edges weren't able to seal. Lots of lift around all the borders. Hopefully, these other ones are better.
Any updates on best screen protectors, no scratches yet, but i have saw a post or two about how easy this screen scratches.
The one I purchased arrived last night and I took off 6 for a .99$ plastic protector that I bought. That protector never say well so I gave the glass a try. Unfortunately the glass one sat just as poorly. Where the cut outs were for the camera and the LED the glass did not fit flush against the phone and showed as it was lifted.
I have taken both off and am just using the phone naked.
IMO
In my personal experience *most* screen protectors are created equal. My sister bought one off Amazon for 10$ and I bought one for 1.50$ on Ebay, When they arrived her's was in a fancier box but inside the boxes they had almost exactly the same contents. I tried scratching mine with a knife, and it didn't scratch (so it was glass). I'd say it is worth the risk (only 1.50 shipped in the same time as amazon one)

I bought the nearpow one and the fit was awful, because of the 2.5D glass it just didn't adhere on the sides at all and it wasn't even close to full coverage. I've chosen not to worry too much about the screen, it's a $60 phone.
I just bought a cheap case that has a bit of a lip to stop the screen from touching stuff. If I place it face down for example.

Same, because the phone screen is not square in the sides the protector don't adhere like it's supposed too
Does anyone like the nearpow ones from amazon? I bought the box with two of them but haven't put one on yet. I'm wondering if it's even worth trying since reports so far don't seem to good. I can see where it might be more challenging to make them for a screen with rounded edges. I have two of the phones now and like them very much so am interested in protecting them.
I purchased this one:
"BLU R1 HD Tempered Glass Screen Protector, Vikoo Scratch Proof 0.26MM Ultra-thin 9H Hardness High Definition HD Ultra Clear Screen Protector Glass for BLU R1 HD Phone"
from amazon.
Does not fit cleanly.
Given all these reports I am beginning to wonder if these are even tested or manufacturers just assume it will work once cut out to size.
Sadly, i'm just joining in the bad news. I purchased the Qosea Ultra-thin 2.5D 9H Hardness Crystal Clear Scratch Resistant Tempered Glass Screen Protector for BLU R1 HD and so far it-s the same result, it doesn-t stick on the edges because of the curvature of the screen. I'm still using it because i don't want to ruin the screen so i'll be waiting for the confirmation of a tempered glass that actually fits the screen properly.
I'm a bit baffled reading all the comments here and on amazon. It truly seems like nobody tested these things. I-m starting to think there are fake commenters because each glass protector have at least one 5 star review telling about how amazingly fits. Followed by nothing but unsatisfied people.
I have had mine since release and it's still in good shape. Don't see a point in getting any protector for such a cheap phone.
Well it's not exactly tempered glass but the reviews are better as to fit. Apparently it's a hard plastic. I'm getting this phone for my kid so something needs to go on there becasue he's not exactly not clumsy.
