What is the best screen protector for my XDA?

[jdoherty76]

Opinions please on the best screen protectors available, I spend 8 quid on O2 ones and they are not very good. The cause air bubbles and are quite difficult to apply cleanly.

If possible can you supple the link to the suppliers. Thanks John

I'd be interested in this too. Also are there any differences between screen protectors for the XDA and XDAII ?

Thanks,
Rob.

well the place i ordered screenprotector from had both a xda1 and xda2 version so i asume they are not the same

I've used the same screen protectors I bought for my XDA on my new XDA II.

I use the PPCTechs ones I bought from Expansys. I especially like them because they have a matt rather than gloss finish and so don't cause as many reflections (the light scatters more). I also find that these are very easy to stickon without getting air bubbles.

One thing I have noticed is that on the XDA 2 the screen protector misses about 1.5mm of screen on the width, which is hardly noticable, but it works fine and this may be because of the way I applied it too close to one side.

I certainly would reccomend them (althought they are a bit pricy for what is effectively a piece of sticky back plastic)

Thanks Rudegar where did you get your's from ? Cheers John

well
www.pdashoppen.dk
but i'm sure you can get it cheaper from a
closer store with a lower vat
also i have ordered it but havent gottten it yet
seems they have issues getting it
which is good i think because my xda1 is currently stolen
and when the insurance pay me a bit i'm buying a xda2
so i would be in my best intrest if the xda1 screenprotector dont
get here untill i can change the order to a xda2 version

For XDA II you need HP iPAQ1940 model

Thank you I will check this out. I assume they ship to the UK? John

[noviur]

They are in Canada, but I am sure they do deliver to UK. Who wants to loose market? :)

This is the best screen protector that I've ever used!

I have not tried the XDA2 version but I used one on my Sony Ericsson P800 and it was very easy to install and since it's rugged and not floppy and flimsy like the rest it installs without bubbles and you can remove it, clean it and put it back on the device.

The screen preserves it's natural shine and colors, brightness and contrast remain as if you where not using any protector at all.

I loved the feel of the protector, it's not dull and it does not feel like paper, in fact it's it feels very slippery to the tip of the stylus.

May sound expensive, but they last very very long!

Here's the link: http://www.overlayplus.com/pda.asp#xda

Here's the specs:

Gloss finish

Our gloss finished LCD protective filter enhances color reproducibility and image sharpening by transfering more light and makes the screen brightly colored. Other filters with anti glare feature make use of diffused reflection instead to eliminate reflection. These sometimes cause lower color reproducibility which may result with a dull monochromic coloration

UV cut and 90% light transmittance

Our filters reduce the strain on your eyes by blocking 99% of ultraviolet rays radiated from LCD screens. In addition, our filters allow 90% of light transmition while protecting the LCD screen from degradation as a result of strong sunlight and other natural lights.

High Scratch Resistance.

Easy to apply

It is removable, durable,reusable and washable.

The screen protectors from pdascreenprotectors.com are very similar. Extremely scratch resistant, and impossible to see if you install them properly.

I've always used the Expansys ones which are cheap as chips and do the job admirably.

I'm using it too....cool...its practically Invisible and smooth...but will get very thin scratches after a while...Martin Fields Rocks

I was using Brando for my Ipaq and its is scratch proof but the screen is slightly yellowish...dun like it so much....but it was the best then..

[jimmy-floyd]

IMHO:THe best is Brando.

Tomorrow,i'll receive O2's protectors and Brando for my qtec 2020,and i'll review them,and tell who is the best :arrow:

[gazzaman2k]

i also used brando on my xda 1 and now have one on my xda 2

[hops]

I have been using the boxwave protector and it is excellent

[azbro]

Guys, if you are still using brando then you wanna try something like the G2s but definetly better...try Martin Fields...
They ROCK!

I know we had Brando Vs G2s a while back...but then Martin Fields come out with this protector and its best now....you wont regret it.

[Rudegar]

problem with a post like this i suppose is that
most people have only really used one brand of screenprotector
and if they are happy with it they are likely to feel that it's the best :)

[jimmy-floyd]

got 02's protectors-wanna say,that they are not good.
