Default Screen protectors

I'm a big fan of Brando screen protectors. Unfortunately, they have nothing specifically for the Desire yet. Does anyone know if the protector for the Nexus One will fit the Desire? As HTC make both, is it the same screen?

I doubt it because the nexus one has touch buttons at the bottom of the screen which a protector would probably cover.

Well, I got my DuraSec screen protector today. Not as good as Brando in my opinion but a good stopgap. Two days from Germany - not bad.

NOW WHERE IS MY PHONE?? Looks like it will be another 12 days!

Didnt you order it from tmobile? or going to o2 with it?

Im also interested in screen protectors... nothing came in the box. And theres not even a pouch for it... Kind of worryed about taking it outside the house untill its safe

I guess it would be a few months before leather cases come out for it?

Or do the nexus cases work fine?

I'm buying my phone from Handtec so I have to wait. I did ask if they knew whether they would get the screen protectors at the sme time but they said they had no information from HTC. The HTC screen protectors for the HD2 came out some time after the phone and reports were not very good.

DursSec are one of the very few quality ones already available.

Can you tell me the pluses and minuses of your screen protectors?

I've also ordered a cheap £4.99 double-pack if the HTC jobbies from Play, but I'm fully prepared to buy something else if they are too friction-y, or don't apply/fit properly.

The plus of the screen protectors are self explanatory. They will keep your screen as immaculate as possible, while still retaining full functionality (but you knew that already)

I'm hoping that as the ones from Play are the official HTC ones, they should be perfect for the job.

I'll let you know as soon as i get mine.

I too have ordered the ones of play.com, they do look to be the official HTC ones, as they are sold at the HTC accessory shop for about £7.99, play.com usually cheaper.

Screen protecter would add that peace of mind tbh, atm i'm paranoid that i'll damage the screen (which itself can damage the screen ironically) - ie, dirty fingers, same pocket with keyes, etc - more chance of haveing a nice screen.
