I like the precut screen protector that comes with the Touch in the box but you only get one :( . After a while that one gets a bit beat up so I want to replace it but I could never cut one as well as that one was. Id love to buy a place where I could buy them, even in a pack of 10 (girlfriend has the touch too) to replace them from time to time.

Anyone know where to get them precut to fit?

Telus in Canada sells them but they are a bit pricey. They appear to be $9.99 ea. Check it out here:

So hopefully someone knows where to get them at a better price! This is the kind of price you had to pay for a screen protector for my Sony Clie when I first got it but they eventually came down dramatically.

Those dont appear to be the shape of the entire plastic screen, just the lit part.

I emailed HTC and they gave me a number to call the parts center in the US to ask about getting them.

Here are a couple of places I found that look to be custom cut. One is a bit pricey though...

I'm going with the crystal touch anti-glare from Boxwave. I'll let you know how it does once it gets to me.

hey wait before you order! just so you guys know, they elf and vogue's screen sizes are supposedly slightly different.

i ordered the "HTC Touch" screen protectors from boxwave about 2 months ago, thinking, hey, mine is a touch, and its by HTC. well, they didnt fit. boxwave was great about it, and are letting my exchange, but just MAKE SURE you get the Sprint Touch screen protectors.

like i said, they would probably be good about it, but it would just save ya some hassle.

cheers.

That looks to be the closest. We shall see what HTC USA wants for them.

I love my Boxwave antiglare.

really kills the clarity of the screen though doesnt it? very similar to if it were...maybe a little bit wet? everything is unclear/smudged...i dont really know how to explain it (obviously) lol

I've used Boxwave screens before and they are excellent quality. I had one on my Treo650 forever and it held up wonderfully. I just put the one on for the Sprint Touch and the only negative thing I can say is that it's reduced the sensativity a bit. I'm going to try this reg edit for sensitivity found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360564

You gotta go with clear protector.

Full body for 15$ on ebay.

The best there is and you only need one.

I can recommend the Invisible Shield as I had it on my last phone and loved it.

You can get the invisible shield here:

I just recently found another one that looks very similar but I have no experience with.

I can personally vouch for the Seidio one. I just recieved mine. It is the same thickness as the factory one, except its glossier. I can see my screen better and it seems more responsive. The screen is also softer. It was a perfect fit as well. I would recommend it to others.

be careful if you have verizon. ive had two phones now have the screen peel up in the corners because of their screen protectors

I tried the ZAGG invisible sheild and did not like it at all, it was too rubbery and the stylus dragged on it - it didn't slide smoothly. I use the BoxWave Clear Touch crystal and love them. I find them even better that the original HTC touch one that came with it.

Hi guys, try this buy.com item #210455123 - $8.86 shipped to my door for five precut screen protectors that cover the entire face of the touchscreen. Each comes individually packaged with its own screen cleaner. I have been using them for a week or so and am thoroughly impressed with the fit and finish.

I bought these from that guy, I paid $1 less when I bought them but they are cut perfectly like the OEM ones.

For what it's worth, I've given up on screen protectors. I got on ebay and bought a bulk lot of digitizers. If my digitizer gets dinged up to the point of it being unusable, I install a new one. Digitizers work out to about $10~$14 a piece and most vendors offer free shipping.

.... Food for thought.
