screen protectors

[syalam]

how many of you guys are using screen protectors? im using one, but it keeps getting dirty every 2 weeks. im beginning to think if its even necessary to have one for my device.

It depends on what you mean by dirty. In a way you have answered your own question. If you didn't have a screen protector, your screen is potentially left open to abrasive scratches. My understanding is that once a screen is scratched, tough. It's much easier to replace a protector than a damaged screen.

I didn't realise how delicate screen protectors were when I applied the one that came with the MDA. I've just replaced my original thin protector with a Hightec one from durasec £7.95 from Ebay. They also do thinner ones for less. Like everything in life, you get what you pay for.

Bottom line is the standard motto. Prevention is better than cure.

I am using a Covertec one, and it is fine since a while (more then 2 month).

I'm very happy with the Boxwave clear protector.

I wouldnt go without my brando screen protector ... been using them since my P900 had no problems with dirt or scratches ..

[j007w]

I use Brando as well. It's the best.

[kyakubov]

I use 3M, is't 3M the best?

[AsGF2MX]

I'm using the brando ultra clear but the application was fudged up; for some reason there was already dust on the screen protector despite it still being seal :shock:. I peeled it off, start applying when I realized that it was leaving marks on the screen.

Washed it then reapplied and in the process, I managed to drop my cutter on it , blade first, and there's a small scratch on one corner.

Definitely going to have to have another go. With respect to clarity and responsiveness, I find it to be unresponsive if the application was poor but otherwise, suits me fine and nobody could tell it was applied except due to the fact that there's a scratch on it. Anyone got any tips? I washed with cool water and no detergents. Should I use any detergents?

what kinda protectors u guys use, i mean thin or hard. I had a belkin thin screen protector on my jam and it worked perfectly for more than a year, then i sodl the device and got the O2 XDA mini s, now i am looking for some decent screen protector.

what do u guys recommend, hard or thin?

This is probably heresy, but I have had my phone for 6 months and have never used a protector and there isn't one scratch. I travel about 80% a year for work to boot. But it usually travels in my pocket as opposed to a bag or something.

[syalam]

i was waiting to hear that...6 months in your pocket and no scratch? thats pretty good..because i keep mine in my pocket all the time..if i ever throw it in a bag..i use the case it came with.

I just got a Martin Shields and love it. Took a little getting used to having to press a little harder, but it's great and I can't even tell it's on there.

by the way, how do I uninstall the old screen protector? :D
It has many scratchs over it and even more dust particles under it... :D

I'm using the BoxWave ClearTouch screen protector. I love it. I can barely tell it's on. I highly recommend it. It was kind of a pain to get on properly, but what screen protector isn't.
