Does anyone have experience with Martin Field´s Screen Protectors?

These (http://www.martinfields.com/DE/dis_product.asp?model=HTC_DiamondT&modeln=Touch%20Diamond&prod_type=screen)

This looks like it is a one piece for the front, so the buttons also are coverd. Don´t know how this effects the buttons.

Howßs about Brando´s Protectors, had very good experience with them on normal phones. But they are pretty thick (subjective) don´t know how this effects the touch functionality. Altough the protector supplied with the Diamond from HTC is not bad as well.

Actually i have some Martin Fields protectors on order for my diamond, my experience with them on other devices is that they are AMAZING, they really are fantastic. Very very clear and as thin as you could ask for. By the looks of it, the protector will not cover the centre button/touch sensitive area, and only covers the hard buttons... so it should not effect functionality... i will update after i have received & applied mine. :)

I've used Martin Fields screen protectors on my last 3 or 4 devices. Couldn't recommend them enough.

[JanDaMan]

ok well got my martin fields protector today and applied it, i have only applied the screen portion of the protector and not the (bottom 1/3) button protector yet (coz i already have a MOMAX protector on the buttons) The screen is good, i would say there is a bit more resistance when swiping with your finger around compared with the 'in box' protector, but that is intentionally designed to help with stylus precision. the clarity of the material is fantastic, as with all martin fields products. the screen is still very responsive with the protector on, so it is not too thick or anything imo. the only real criticism (which i have noticed b4 on martin fields stuff) is that the area that is cut out for the ear speaker is not as cleaner cut as i have seen in other protectors, but it is overall a very good protector, and is easy to apply.\

Note also the protector is (as expected) rather fingerprint prone - to more or less the same extent as the in-box protector.

Ok thanks for that review but I have one further question. Depending on the thickness and design of the edges of the protector, with the originial protector applied it happens that when i put my Diamond in the Pouch the edges sometimes stick with the inside of the pouch. So that dust and lint can come under the edges and that makes this ugly and the edges will become used so that sooner or later the whole protector will get off.

How does the MF protector behave in theses situations and especially the protector on the buttons. Because the buttons are not protected by the frame of the diamond, like the screen is, so the edges are more easily bend over during usage?

Used this these screen protectors now many times now for my previous devices and now for Diamond... http://www.netimes.com/shop/screen-protector-for-htc-touch-diamond-p3700-10pcs-p-1255.html
The protectors are excellent value, very easy to apply and great quality (only €8.02 for 10!!!) well worth a try!!!

i had this problem. had to remove my protector after a week, because it was unusable.

No the protector is like a half mm less wide and less long which shd help with that, also i feal it is attached to the device more securely than the original SP. you may get some small bits of dust sticking to the edge, by that i mean the thickness has some adhesive on it, but lint will NOT get under the protector in my estimation. Also MF has a good way of removing lint if its under the screen after application, watch their vids on their website. its pretty good overall, the only flaw is just the slight increase in resistance when swiping yr finger around the screen, bt im used to that already.

Hey yeah these are MOMAX protectors, they are not bad BUT the fit is not as close to the edges as MF or the original SP. Also the bit of glass above the top speaker is not covered by the protector, its just left open and so susceptible to scratches... also i found it is not attached the the device as strongly as the competition

good value tho

[meggs]

I have allways used expertShield on my devices. I like it very much!

Very nice site, altough its in freaking german.. i use babblefish =)

€ 4,95 for 6 covers

[laporte]

i just ordered 2 pieces of screenies for 4,8€ at the distributor-shop i can reach.

i think there are massive quality differences between the avaiable protectors, so i will let you know about mine. i'm also interested in the quality of schutzfolien24.de or other ceap offers.

i had some cheap ones for my tcruise and after a day it looked really ugly. the original htc protector compared to this is just great!

I always buy my screen protectors from Brando : http://shop.brando.com.hk/

I have just brought the EXiM SPUC not the spoc. Cost under 7 pounds from ebay. Used EXiMs for years now for my psp to all my touch screen phones. Never have a complaint compared to the cheap pack of 10 versions kicking about. There is a reason why you get 10 in a pack 'cause you prob have to scrap half of them or they are scratched already!

[chineseleper]

after being disappointed by brando, where the top right corner is simply left out, I bought myself 3 sets of 3m vikuiti dqc-160 protectors, only finding them suck even more. the cutting of the top part is just fine, but they cut the hole for the bottom button 6mm to big, which is unacceptable. also the corners and sides don't glue to the screen perfectly. anyone actually seen a protector that fits perfectly?

[darthbane2k]

anyone actually seen a protector that fits perfectly?

Yes. The HTC one that came in the box

[bestof76]

Since yesterday I have a Martin Fields screen protector on my Diamond. It comes in 3 parts. One for the touch screen, one for the button field and one small round piece for the camera lens on the backside of the phone.

They are fitting pretty good and installation was easy!

Here is the link: http://www.martinfields.com/dis_product.asp?model=HTC_DiamondT&modeln=Touch%20Diamond

One protector costs 11.99 Euro, a twin pack costs 21.99 Euro.

[chineseleper]

Yes. The HTC one that came in the box

i doesn't protect the bottom keys.

As for martin fields, I took a look on their image indicate that the they cut out the bottom too large as the vikuiti ones? is it actually the right size with the mf protectors?

[smartmove]

I've ordered a martin fields protector but I really like how the original HTC one fits the screen perfectly. Does the MF one look a little undersized? Anyone know where I can get replacement HTC genuine protectors from online?

Yes, for me the mf protectors have the right size (maybe they are a little bit undersized, but its ok for me) and are easy to install.

Just got my MF protector, installed almost 100% perfectly but have a small bit of fluff stuck under one side. Really annoying me. Tried putting tape on to lift the protector back off but it seems stuck to the screen pretty good! Any suggestions how I can sort this without mucking it up?

[Huey85]

I've got 1 or 2 fluffs stuck under my MF screen protector too but it doesn't bother me too much. I'm very pleased with the quality and it is so much better than the OEM one that came with the Diamond. It may be the tiniest bit undersized but I can deal with it.

[arh_3000]

Il second that is does fit 100% perfect. Im going to wait till they start selling them and get another one as ive got abit of dust under it which is anoying but atlest its protected for the time being.

Another vote for the HTC Screen Protector :)

i have bought 2 pieces at a distributor shop in germany for about 7€, original htc screen protector "SP170". still sealed if anyone want's proof :)

[basthet]

Just wondering: Martin Field

Does the lens protection sit directly on the small transparent plastic piece on the back cover or in front of it (so you can remove the crappy plastic)?

I am still waiting for a solution for the bad back cover (topic: camera quality)... Anyone have information about that?

It's just a small circle and sites on top of the crap plastic

[p3eps]

I got 2 Martin Fields ones today.
After all the great things people say about them, I have to say I'm a bit dissapointed given the price. Personally I think its a bit small as it leaves about 1mm at each side uncovered. Its also increadibly difficult to put on without putting finger prints on it.
The 99p one I got from eBay was better quality, better fitting, and easier to put as it had tabs to hold it by.
Next time I need a new one I'll stick with the eBay 99p ones.

I got my Invisible Shield today in the mail, just applied the back to see how it looks, will decide if I want to use the front or not later down the week.

Also ordered an EXIM SPUC screen protector, just in case the invisible shield doesn't work out.
I've used the EXIM SPUC on the last two phones I've had and only have good things to say about it.
