Default What is the best thing to protect my screen?

I can't get screen protectors to stay on. I apply them per the instructions and about a week later they come off...

I have a Martin Fields screen protector and haven't had one issue. I keep my phone in my pocket most of the time too.

Default invisible shield

hands down the best protector on the market.
lifetime warranty, never needs replacing, etc.
I have one on my Tytn, my Himalaya, my ipaq, my Zen mp3 player, 'nuff said.

I swear by WriteShields myself (www.pocketpctechs.com). I've had them for my past 3 devices and they've outlasted the devices. They're very easy to put on cleanly with no air bubbles. They even have an anti-glare version that makes it much easier to see the scren outdors. I've never noticed any decrease in screen responsiveness; in fact, I prefer the firmer feel with the WriteShields.

Agree, i like these products.
I use the Crystal version, which makes the screen look naked, exactely like a brand new screen, flashy, glossy screen. Now the second version is Drumm's above, i didnt test it yet.
These protections are thick, thus kinda rigid. As a consequence no air bubbles remain when applied.

I just bought a Martin Fields, and it works really well. I was using NuSheild before that but I could never get the bubbles out, and as soon as I would get them out, and press my screen again, they would come back, very annoying.

Martin Fields however does not have that problem, and installation was a lot simpler, plus, it comes with a camera (lens) protector as well.

are the screen protectors mentioned in this thread pretty easy to apply? i usually get a clean application but there's always one or two bubbles that won't go away. another thing is getting it to lay down straight. do you guys have any techniques for applying?

I tried yet another screen protector and it came off again. I guess what I am looking for is a case that also has a cover for the screen, but not an aluminum case (too bulky).

Talking My answer is...

A chap on ebay from Hong Kong. 3 protectors for a very small price.

Search for... HTC TyTN II Kaiser MDA Vario III screen protector x 3

Seller name - feidolphin

I have used this bloke 3 times for the same product for various handsets and he has always sent high quality items and pretty quick on the postage side to (6 days max).

I can recommend one from Brando. Very good quality. Well regarded in some countries, however not that known in the UK.
Siemens C35i -> SonyEricsson T68i -> Motorola V500 -> Siemens CX65 -> NEC e606 -> Motorola MPX200 -> SPV C600 -> I-mate K-JAM -> MDA Vario II -> MDA Vario III -> MDA Compact IV -> MDA Compact V -> HTC HD2 -> HTC Desire HD -> HTC Sensation -> Samsung Galaxy SIII -> Samsung Galaxy Note II LTE + LG Nexus 4
