Screen protector snob needs a little advice

---

So I've been using PDAs with touchscreens for quite some time (see my illustrious HTC device history in my sig!) and have never really found a screen protector I am happy with. I think I've tried most (ZAGG, Brando, MFOP etc etc)

I really need to replace my current Martin Fields protector because it's been annihilated.

So far on my DHD I have tried:

HTC's own - very soft plastic that scratched easily. Looked ugly after no time. I liked the price, fit and ease of installation though.

ZAGG Invisibleshield - I managed to put it on upside-down which didn't help. I love how hard-wearing it is (self-healing etc) but I hate the orange peel effect and the "sticky" feeling

Martin Fields - Didn't fit from the start - looked great to begin with but again, scratches so easily and looks awful now.

So I want to try something else (if there is anything!)
I really like how hard-wearing the ZAGG is, so if there is nothing else I'll go back to ZAGG - but I'd like to see if there's anything similar (but better) out there.

I don't really like those invisible shield, after sometime the edges will start to peel off and looks ugly (have those type of protector on my old HP Ipaq).

I would recommend 3M Vikuiti screen protector! Sublime quality (comes with a price though), try to google for protectionfilms24. They carry the product

Not heard of that one - will give it a look.

Which one is the best?
There are 3 choices:

ADQC27
DQC160
CV8

I have ordered a BodyGuardz to try out - supposedly has all the benefits of the invisibleshield whilst not having the downsides (orange peel, tackiness etc).

Why would you need a screen protector for the DHD? It has a Gorilla Glass screen!
I can't even imagine what will you have to do to scratch it!

The DHD doesn't have Gorilla Glass

Let us know about how the Bodyguardz protector works out for you, I dodn't know there was material out there as strong as Invisible Shield, but mirror-like.

The DHD is very exposed to stratches, the massive screen isn't helping...

Anyway what are you doing with your phone? Do you carry it around with knives or something
I still have a untouched original protector (I do have a slight scratch under it )

I went for the Steinheil anti fingerprint screen protector, costs about $16,- on ebay. Unfortunately they (you get 2) have not yet arrived.

I'm happy with Realook. Finger slides smoothly, great fit, no bubbles. Can hardly tell it's there. Only slight rainbow effect if viewing at extreme angles.

Part of my job is fitting these bloody things, trust me when i say that if it's peeling away at the edges, you did not put it on properly.

I nail these things every time, however the only phones that they look and feel good on is an iphone 4, oh and the ipad and galaxy tab. The DHD looks **** with it.

@ the thread starter, my advice would be to go for a phone protector (case) and a nice smooth screen protector, any generic s.p will work just fine, even the one's that come with cases (IF you can put them on right)

My fav screen protectors are the ones made by griffin, not sure if they do one for the DHD tho, shame really as they feel really nice and are a dream to put on.

Reelook is the only one I will use. FYI, gorilla glass can scratch.
