do you use a screenprotector?

[Blaugrana]

Do you use a screenprotector on your trinity? I do, one from Brando, but I don't like it and am thinking about removing it...

Is anyones screen already damaged?

[banesi]

Is it possible to put it perfectly at all ?! I mean I must be in a totaly sterile envoirement with gloves and special suit and God knows how and what skill I must have to put it right :eek:

My Trinity is one day old but I will surely remove it in a couple of days, can't look at it with this ugly bubbles beneath :p

The first thing I do when I get any new device is get a screen protector for it, and it goes on before I ever start using the device. I've gone through a lot of PDA's over time and one thing I can say is that you get better at putting on the protectors and you get used to the odd bubble or piece of dust underneath. It's far better than what happens to your screen without a screen protector over time.

The best way to put the protector on is to carefully peel just a bit of one edge and line it up at the top of the screen. Then use the included card to slide the rest down the screen, the paper backing will peel off as you do this and it helps to prevent bubbles and dust getting on the stick side of the film.

If you don't like bubbles, try a brand that is not adhesive. Most people don't like the type that slips under the case but I do. I've been using NuShield protectors for a couple of years on 4 different PDAs and they are great IMO. I don't use a case (store in pocket) and NuShields are very durable - easily lasting 6 mo.

I'm using a brando ultraclear for K-Jam in my p3600... it works perfect... I haven't any sort of bubbles because i put it the first day i got my new device.. so device under it was very clean and the result is PERFECT ;)

Completely agree! :D

I'm using Covertec Screenprotector(for S100), and it works like hell!

The screenprotector is about 1-1,5 mm thick, so it's pretty thick compared to many other brands, but the advantage is that it's almost impossible to get airbubbles, and the screenprotector is 110% clear! So you won't even see it's there!

Comes in a pack with two protectors, one with UV-filter, and one which is ultra-clear...

Can highly recomend them... No need for a "anti-bubble-wiper-thingy" :P

[Baxter]

1.5mm thick?!?!?! That's thicker than a "anti-bubble-wiper-thingy". I have wetsuites that thick. You talking about a case or a screen protector?

LOL

No offense - just having fun. Some are actually quite thick in comparison.

[neofix]

Hehe! Well, ok; maybe it's a bit thinner... But it's about the thickness of a playing card, and just as stiff as one too... :p

And no, it's not a casing, or a wetsuit... Maybe a drysuit :p haha!

[asoebye]

I use protector, but got 2 bubbles which I want to try to remove.
Can anyone tell me how to remove the protector without using anything thin and sharp?

Tape. Take a 1-2 inch long piece of tape and press one end on a corner of the protector. Then pull :)

[Blaugrana]

I can't get my screenprotector removed...not even with tape :(

Hate screen protectors. Don't use them. My nephew has a Jam which is years old and hasn't had a protector. NO screen scratches -- only a little dullness where the SIP keyboard is but that buffs out in seconds once a year using Displex. No scratches from keys even though it's subject to some abuse and the casing is scratched and dented. Thus I myself have no crap on my P3600's screen.

[yegor]

Im not a fan of cases or screen protectors, but I got 1 for my p3600. Its pretty good, I just wish it was about 2mm wider, since the left edge doesnt quite go till the very end of the screen which is annoying.

[mikehockenballs]

I got my screen protector from 'Javoedge.com' , it cost me about £8.50 but it is worth every penny.
It is cut to the exact size of the Trinity screen and fits really well. It is so thin that it slides beneath the White plastic case of my Trinity and the screen itself, so there are no edges of the screen protector to be seen.
I agree that you must take your time when installing it to try and get the edges straight, but when it's on it fits and looks great.
I opted for the super clear version and not the anti-glare version.

Great product!:rolleyes:

I'm using an "Invisible Shield" from ShieldZone.com for my P3600. At the time I got mine, it didn't exist any pre-cut version for the P3600, so I ended up with a pre-cut TyTN shield, since they have the same screen size.

The first 2-3 days the result wasn't that good as I had some bubbles under the shield, but they disappeared after some days.

Watch the demo videos on ShieldZone.com, and I guess you will be as impressed as I'm with this shield.

Hi people.
I am soon gonna be a happy owner of a Trinity and i will definately buy a screen protector for my device. Can you please give me your opinion on different brands you have tried?What brand would you recommend buying?
Thanks

[FuzzMunky]

I have a Brando one that they now market as a P3600 version.

It sticks to the screen with static so no glue or residue if you remove it. Also this means it is washable too. The static provides more than enough force to keep it on the screen. In fact it is stuck fast. Only by pulling a piece of tape stuck to it by both ends will remove it.

My only problem is more with screenprotectors in general. Since they add extra thickness to the screen they do affect the sensitivity of the touchscreen. So for a while you will write with the stylus and you wont be using enough force. You get used to it, but it would still be nicer to find a thinner membrane.

Mine is a Clear Touch Crystal from Boxwave. I've used Boxwave's products for years and found them to have very high durability and quality. The screen looks like it has nothing on it at all when the device is on. I find that it actually seems to improve touchscreen accuracy and feel.

The only problem I have had with screen protectors in general is that if they are cut too close to the borders of the screen, that is, if they fit too well, they seem to interfere with the screen's ability to detect taps. I think it is interfering with the digitizer. Every time I have installed a protector PERFECTLY leaving no gaps on any side, the screen stops responding until I remove the protector and reinstall it with the edges trimmed in about 1 mm on all sides. I don't think that you need to have all edges trimmed, but I do it for uniformity's sake.

Hope this helps someone who gets a protector and then thinks they broke their device by installing it like I did my first time.......ahhh to be young again.....;)

@olsenbjo

Does the Invisible Sheild cover the entire device, or just the screen?

Thanks!

I got a really cheap screenprotector. It came in a box with a brush and a microfibre towel thing and a botthe of cleaning fluid, all for like 5 euro.
The protectors are ok and the last like 6 months each for me.

I've been using one of these Martin Fields Overlay Screen Protectors. I put it on as soon as I unpackaged my P3600 and you cant tell its there when using the phone. It also removes the guilt of touching the screen with my fingers :p
