This is just a quick post with my comments on the invisible shield, in case it's useful to somebody looking for a screen protector...
Pros:
- Thick, feels very protective. No worries about putting it in a pocket and getting it scratched from keys or change
- Air bubbles really do work themselves out after a few days of use, even on a completely ham fisted install!
- Doesn't affect screen, you can still see it in daylight without rainbow or mirror effect.
Cons
- B****rd to install. Way fiddly because of all the little corner flaps and cut out bits.
- Slightly sticky to the touch means finger glide action isn't what it could be. Also scrolling with a stylus seems much more hit and miss than without the protector
- Not particularly cheap.
I'll be keeping mine - I'm mainly concerned about protection (which it should excel at) and with a little adaption you can get used to the decreased screen sensititvity. I find using the back of the fingernail to scroll actually works better than a finger.
As an aside, the best protector I had in terms of a balance between feel and protection was a generic cut-to-size one from Palm! Unfortunately it only covers the display part of the TP2 front, it's not big enough to cover the whole front.
Hope that helps someone!

Hmm, i was thinking just installing the back part for scratch protection and keeping the normal screen protector that comes with it, i find that the protector that comes with it gives it that capacitive feel to it in that the screen doesnt push in as it used to without the protector ... because honestly i dont think the screen feel and senstivity is something i can compromise .. my 2 cents

I forget to inform them not to apply the Raceshield screen protector as it is too thick and it gives a funny and unresponsive feeling when you touch the screen.
I might change the screen protector to Martin Field instead.
does the invisibleshiled protect my device when it´s falling down to the ground?? or will the phone be damaged??

Invisible Shield protect your device from scratches only.
If it falls onto the ground, it'll damage your phone for sure.
Get a pouch or a case if you need that kinda protection.
i have just installed the invisible shield on my touch pro2, not particularly hard, because I have lots of experience installing these.
But if you are a noob, it will be very tricky.
Even if you install it properly, you might still get dust or dirt underneath, and you may not realize it until it has dried up, which is too late.
I got some big bubbles underneath, waiting for it to dry.
I would only recommend the invisible shield for the back part, as for the screen, it is better to stick with a regular screen protector.
Scrolling and figure gestures are not as smooth if you use the invisible shield,
i will post pics up later! cheers.
I put my IS on last night. My impressions:
1. The back fits very nicely.
2. The front doesn't fit quite as well, but you can get it on with enough patience.
3. There are a few small bubbles, I'm still waiting for them to go away.
4. Today the bubbles are still there, and the front has a rather sticky feel to it. I don't like the feel.
5. The back cover sticks very well to the gell pad I use in my car. (bonus!)
6. I don't like the ridges on the sides left by the front cover.
7. If the bubbles don't disappear completely, I will find a replacement for the front cover.
Doesn't the phone come with a proective cover on the back already and a screen protector for the screen? I would have thought that would be enough?

The 'cover' on the back is just part of the back's design.
And the screen protector that comes with the phone, well, not sure about everyone else, but mine peeled off within a few days of it going in and out of my pocket.

The "cover" on the back, which can sorta be seen when you look at the volume rocker doesn't come off, which is why I said it's just part of the design.
You can place any protection you want on it.

Also, not just what it looks like on the physical device, but some good pictures of what the SCREEN looks like with phone on? So many screen protectors distort the screen image (thinking to my mother's ipod touch screen protector that makes the pixels all rainbowy and aliased looking) and I have yet to see ONE picture of what the actual display looks like when the screen is on.

Sorry, I have no photos to offer. I can tell you that the screen does look a bit "rainbowy" when I have polaroid sunglasses on. (When driving) It's enough to be a minor annoyance, no more. Still very easy to see the screen, which is a big plus comin from a Tilt that could not be seen at all in my roadster.
Also, as a general follow-up to my earlier rant-
All the bubbles have worked out, and I've grown accustomed to the sticky face. So I will keep the IS on my TP2. I really likethe idea of the phone being well protected from all the abrasive items that find their way into my pockets.
dose anyone know how to remove the hard film from the sony x10 comes already with the phone ...
You mean the stock screen protector?
Yeah, it's a pain as it's so thick that it's hard to remove. I just used my nail to try to lift a corner (took a while). Once I was able to raise enough to get a grip on it, I was able to grab the lifted corner and pull it right off.
Now I have a beautiful Clear-Coat protector instead.

thanks, I ordered the screen plate only. If my housing ever gets too scrathed up or dented, I will simply get a new housing from dealextreme under 30 dollars.

I know SE shipped a spare screen protector in with the X10s in some regions. That was in addition to the stock screen protector they had factory installed. So if that was the case for you and you applied the spare, then yeah you would've had 2 installed.
Haven't heard of them applying 2 at the factory, but I wouldn't be surprised if a few slipped through like that.

Yeah, I figured the same thing and thus also went only with the screen film. Application is easy, and the film is ultra-thin.

I hadn't noticed it already came with one until reading a post on xda, so made me chuckle as I'd stuck on another one too.
Kinda late but I'll give in my 2 cents on how to remove the factory installed cover.
All we are trying to do is to remove the cover so we'd want something rigid but not hard/sharp enough to scratch up or break the screen. The best solution that I was able to come up with is to use a plastic knife (I'm sure you can find one in a plastic children's cutlery set). I used a Zespri Kiwifruit Spife
Next, using the plastic knife, attempt to scrape up one of the corners. This took me about 5 tries for me (about 4 seconds). When that's done, use the knife to prise/scrape up as much of the protector as you need to grasp it and pull it off.
The razor is the best tool for lifting the cover up
Why bother removing the stock screen protector if you don't mind me asking? Especially if it's in good condition.
Does the performance of the touch screen improve? Is it still better than stock if you remove the factory protector and add that clear coat one?
I took the protector off because it was all scratched up. Didn't put another one on. The screen is very very tough. No scratches at all so far

lol, i think noone's trying to answer the OP's question. I got my stock screen protector removed with my nails and a flat plastic like a guitar pick or something. It takes a lot of patience and time...it took me about half an hour just to get a corner up, but once you get the corner it shouldn't be that hard to pull it out. Hope it helps
awesome my screen got scratched the other week and read this post and removed film lol
Rooted X10 FTW now what wheres our custom 2.2
Took mine off today to install an anti fingerprint one. What a pita it was to take off. Ended up using a knife to start peeling it off from the top corner.

Used a plastic knife , made a chisel like edge with a proper knife, worked like a charm

thanks for the advice it works.... maybe if there was a different way to do it would be great....
Well I did it yesterday. Just used a Stanley blade really really carefully on bottom right corner. then it was easy as pie. I scratched my screen with the combination of sand and a hardcase, it made awful marks on it. So gettin rid of the old fabric screen protector was needed.

lols... I also did not notice that there was a stock screen protector... I just peeled off 2 layers of protectors... now I hope that between now and the time after work that it takes to get a replacement I dont scratch the screen... fingers crossed
So if I am not getting it wrong then my X10i came pre-applied with a screen protector and an extra screen protector?

I'm kind of a huge fan of leather cases. I had one for my S4 for the whole time I had it. I really want one for the G3, but the only one I can find that has the hole for Quick Circle doesn't have a magnetic clasp, so it'll just fall open. Does anyone know of a case similar to this one, but with a magnet to keep it closed?

I would recommend waiting for some more circle cases to come out and just get a nice normal case, but if you really want the case with the magnetic clasp and you could always cut the screen protector out.(or in my case a dremel tool cause the plastic is very tough and thick) That's what I did with a circle case I did not realize had a screen protector in.

If you look at the official LG quick case you can see that it does not have a screen protector and that's because you need to be able to touch that portion of the screen to use all the quick circle features like messaging or changing music. The screen protector just gets in the way.

I already ordered this case. It feels super cheap and the back is completely flat. I didn't like it at all. It's also really fake leather.

The case I posted doesn't have a screen protector or a magnet. I really don't even need the quick circle part. I just want a genuine leather case. I suppose you are right about waiting though. For now, I ordered the one I originally posted. It's not as bad not having a magnet as I thought it would be, but this one also uses fake leather, so that's kind of disappointing.

Nillkin Fresh is a fantastic case. I had it for my M8.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1PC-Nillkin...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item2c85ddc10e
I got my case today, http://www.ebay.com/itm/201125768974?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
the magnet is kinda of a double edge sword. Helps protect it by keeping it closed during a fall but you do have to pry it open a little bit as their probably a little stronger then they need to be. Case has a nice texture and feel to it. The circle window has a very thick clear screen making the screen very unresponsive, I ended up just cutting it out.. Very confident that this cover would protect the phone in a fall. No cut out for the notification light . Also putting a debit card in the interior slot makes the auto/off and circle notifiication seldom work. I have a Zagg glass screen protector and I'm not sure if its it or the lg screen is just picky when it comes to working the circle app. Not a bad case though.
So I was wondering if anyone has seen or used a Tempered glass screen protector for the OP5 that covers the screen only, and not the top and bottom bezels. I say this cuz I have some sick looking Dbrand and Xtremeskinz skins on the way here, but all I can find are the full body screen protectors. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm having the same dilemma, some would say get a cut out screen protector. Any opinions?
That would be a ridiculous idea, it would catch on anything and everything and lift every 2 minutes, imagine putting it in your pocket, going to get the phone out of your pocket and the protector stays in there and snaps.

Just use a full face protector, if you want vinyl applied then do it on top of the protector. Most of the vinyls come in separate pieces anyway. To be honest, I never apply vinyl to the face anyway, only the back, I don't even put them on the top/bottom cos I use a bumper with it so that's pointless.

Has anyone use liquid screen protector on the LG V60? I'm more interested in the screens for the second display. If so which kind did you use. Thanks in advance for your response.
Sounds like a waste of money. Magic liquid that keeps a rock from breaking your screen. The glass protectors are best. But you cant use two. It wont close right and will eventually damage the hinge. I use one on the secondary screen because it gets flipped to the back and the phone is often set down on it. I use a flexible plastic screen protector on the main screen. Even a thin plastic protector has a tint but of give and can protect against impacts to some degree. At BEST a liquid screen protector will be like a. Car wax. It does a little something but is nowhere near what a piece of glass over your screen does. At worse its a bottle of rubbing alcohol.
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking glass on the main screen and film on the other screen.
Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk
I use glass on both and just never "shut" the screen. I always fold the screen to the back when I just want one display. To me the front screen is completely worthless and I'd prefer having glass on both.
That's an option that I hadn't considered.
