Thought i'd be the first with a which screen protector thread!
Brando do one
Expansys do one
has anyone used either on any device? I don't like the ones that dull the screen by giving a matt like appearance. Does the Brando do this? - I can't remember if it was a brando I used on my p800 that did this but things may have improved since then.
Any suggestions appreciated
thanks

I've used Brado since my SE P800, which the was the old "fuzzy" version. This came off when he introduced the "Ultra Clear" protector. Have one on it's way to fit on my new TyTN. Been using it for my Qtek S100and 2020 as well...love it :)

I'm using the standard K-Jam protector from www.shieldzone.com
You can bang on it with your keys, and you still can't scratch it...

using the brando ultra clear on mine. Its great and virtually not visible. However, it only covers the "screen area" of the today screen. i.e. the part that is displayed and not the entire visible area of the screen. This way, you can still trap dust on the edges which are also not protected. I've heard good things about the exim ultra clear protectors but don't know if it covers the entire screen or just the visible area.
But does the standard K-Jam protector from www.shieldzone.com fit the Hermes? It comes with 16 pieces which cover body and keyboard I think...
Got it for my Zen Vision M and it is fantastic!!! Initially when you apply the film there are small bubbles but they all! go by the next day.
So as long as K-Jam and Hermes are similar sizes... its fine!

Looking at screen protectors the best one according to reviews is the PPC Tech WriteSHIELD???
Ive found it on expansys.co.uk here (http://www.expansys.com/accessory.asp?code=TYTN&atype=SCREPROT&count=15) but am unsure which to go for, crystal clear or anti-glare?!
Any thoughts people?

You may want to check out the JavoEdge screen protector. These things last for ever and they go on easly and quickly. They are non stick, washable removable and re-applyable. They have the antiglare and the ultra clear for the TyTN.
I've been using the JavoEdge protectors for the last year, they are about $10 a pop but well worth it.
On a side note, the ultra clear are very clear... you don't notice the protector at all, but they show every little fingure print. I think I'm going to go back to the antiglare becuase of the fingure prints and the ultra clear make it hard to view outside with reflections.

The K-Jam and Hermes have identically sized screens, so the screen shield will fit. The rest of the kit will not.
Incidentally, I've removed my shield... I just didn't like the "feel" of it. If someone has a suggestion for a screen protector that not only is invisible but also "feels" invisible, I'd like to know about it...

Try the JavoEdge Ultra Clear. You can't see it or feel it. But be warned with the ultra clear it will show every single fingure print and smug just as if there was nothing on the screen and you will be wipping your screen constantly. The antiglare has a rough textture to it but it also hides all the little fingure prints.
I had the antiglare on my JasJar and loved it. When I ordered one for my TyTN i didn't relize I ordered the ultra clear. The screen is very beautiful since you don't see the protector but man I must wipe down my screen 5-10 times a day now. I'm going to try the antiglare on the TyTN to see how I like it, but the down side is now that i see how nice the screen is with the ultra clear I may not be able to handle the antiglare.
The JavoEdge screen protectors have been by far the best I've ever used. My last one was on my Jasjar for about a year (I sold my JasJar when I got the TyTN and it still had the same protector) and it still never showed any scratches or lines from using the stylus.
Here is a link to the TyTN screen protectors

My favorite is MFOP (http://www.doml.com/productdec.asp?pid=2476&model=HTC_TyTN&modeln=TyTN). 3 years on SE P800 w/o any problem. Ordered one for TyTN in advance and put at the first day.

I like the Martin Fields protector - pretty much invisible and washable/reuseable.

Hi I have a question about the Brando screen protectors, what do people mean when they say it does not cover the whole screen? does it only cover a portion of it? or does it cover all of the screen?
thanks,
Mike

A few weeks ago i orded some boxwave clear protectors. all four corners where bended and cracked( two protectors). It seems boxwave has a bad batch, because have read others story's about corners that doesn't stick on the screen ( bended).
I did send them back and waiting for RMA.
The boxwave ones where for my Dell Axim X51v.
On my TyTN i use Brando anti glare protectors and i'm very happy with them, they fit perfect and easy to apply.
So i orded brando's crystal clears for my Dell and TyTN. Yesterday i placed them on both devices and they are also like the anti glare ones, just perfect.
high quality, the correct size( fit the whole screen without a spot unprotected) and are very clear. I don't notice them on my screen.
A big diference with the anti glare ones.
I don't say that boxwaves are less in quality, but with my brando's i didn't had any issues.
I use PPCTechs AntiGlare (AG) Write shield. A bit expensive but very good.

I use EXIM SPUC screen protector on my tytn/jasjam.
ultra clear glass like finish, not the anti-glare version, but this is my personal choice. EXIM also have AG version as well.
Here is a review of the one im using

What does "Washable" really mean? Take it off, run it under water, let it dry and reapply? For some reason, I don't think it will work.

I just got a few different screen protectors from http://www.bestskinsever.com/servlet/the-11/T-dsh-Mobile-MDA--fdsh--Cingular/Detail a few weeks ago.
I have had several different manufactures of screen protectors befor this one. All of the other screen protectors were easily scratched. And, if you ever got any liquid on them, they would haze up. So, you ended up replacing them very often (which was why the usually come in a 12 pack :rolleyes: )
However, the screen protector from Best Skins I haven't gotten a single scratch that I couldn't get out with a micro-fiber cloth. During a vacation recently (where the 8525 was the GPS), I had several times when I got a little sunscreen or lotion transfer from my fingertip to the screen. With the old screen protectors, that would be it. They would smudge and streak, and I'd have to replace them. With this new "washable" screen, a little water (or let's face it--spit :rolleyes: ) on the micro-fiber cloth and it was good as new.
So, that's what I think they mean by washable. I don't think mine could survive being pulled off. But, I don't think I'm going to have to any time soon. :D

Well... It seems interesting... IMO, better than a case (I donīt like cases)... But the TyTn wonīt be slipping?

Very late reply, but the Exims cover entire screen, and they are excellent!
