Screen protectors for desire s?

Toje2 · Aug 4, 2011

my phone sits in a pelican i1015 all day and I still use a screen protector. The pelican is an awesome case but my old desire used to sit in one of theses and still managed to get broken and scratched. Not the cases fault, you just need to take it out once and a while.

olyloh6696,

I haven't actually tried putting another case on top of my Desire, so I can't tell you. But don't worry, I found the same thing, the screen protector has this abnormal long white scratch on it (quiet visible, along with numerous others which can be seen at obscure times), which only came about after using an alcoholic wipe on it, so I don't know whether it was my own fault or what.

I currently only have the front screen protector and the back protector on, unfortunately after about 3 months of use (and possible incorrect application) the sides started peeling at the top, which I then removed them. I am pleased knowing that the back is protected at all times, it is a good "body" protector, but not a screen (due to scratches and glare).

I will admit though, I am tempted to order the invisible shield for the Desire S, but I want a little more protection this time around particularly on the sides of the device, which I'm hoping the Case-Mate barely there will at least provide me (ordered it last night).

There is another company which offers a protector similar to the invisible shield, seen it on either this forum or the HTC Desire part of the forums, had a quick look but I can't seem to find the thread, but that company offered matte versions and even coloured versions which looked very appealing.

Toje2,

That case looks as though it could survive a nuclear fallout haha.

Finally took the plunge and bought the full invisible shield for £16.99 at carphone warehouse.

Still out though, so when I get home, will post screenshots after I've installed it

anyone use the official htc ones? any good?

I use the official one and so does my girl, and we are both happy with it.
It seems to do its work quite nicely so i can't give any bad words about it on this moment.
Maybe after a couple of months i'll know if they really last long, so i'll get back on that one.

I prefer http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3x-Screen...801275?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cba8c66bb

previously used with htc hd2 - great clarity, highly scratch resistant (and as a building contractor I know what I'm talking about) and easy to apply. price is also on the low side imho.

Clarivue And Case Mate

I have bought Case Mate Tough and generally pleased with it:

The Good:

Good protection (fiber cover with shock absorbent silicone)

The Bad:

Degrades Wi-Fi signal on some smartphones including mine
A little bulky but not a big deal and i think less bulkier than Otterbox

Conclusion: HTC Desire S' aluminium case+Case Mate Tough = Super protection

I have bought Clarivue Ultra-Clear and generally pleased with it:

The Good:

Screen is clear and installing was easy

The Bad:

Fingerprints
Non anti-glare but this is not a big deal since i just raise brightness level to 50%

Bought the HTC Desire S the other day, also received the case-mate barely there case with the bonus screen protector.

The case I would highly recommend for anyone that wants a slim profile on their phone with a touch of protection. There's no real downside to it.

The screen protector I'm sort of disappointed with, it works well I can see the screen, but the disappointing part is the fact the top and the bottom weren't cut to fit the screen (will post pictures later), also the fact that it feels as though the screen protector literally moves up and down in my pocket.

Overall its good, the case is absolutely flawless, the screen protector on the other hand is a little bit of a let down.

Its a production line fault! I had the same thing with my case mate. The screen protector clearly cut for a different screen. I got in touch with case mate and they posted me a replacement. Fits perfectly now.

Oh sweet, what information did they request from you? Got to admit if you hadn't have posted that I would have just lived with it, but I might actually try and get in contact with them now, thank you!

I provided proof of purchase (my order confirmation email) and as I noticed prior to fitting it, I posted back the protector. Shouldn't matter if you've already fitted yours. Just take a picture of the poor fit and include that in the email. Ask if perhaps they've put the wrong one in the box, and say you were only aware something was wrong once fitted.

They were very reasonable with me, so I'm sure you'll be ok. You just have to prove you are not a cheeky git trying to blag a free screen protector.

It seems that there's no need to use screen protector. The glass of the screen is very strong.

amonrei · Aug 21, 2011

Yep no need screen protector but you still need to be careful not to put your phone in your pocket with coins and keys.

4 months later my screen is still scratchless. Just full of smudges that's easy to clean.

Is the barely there case worth it?
Would something like this be better based on the cost of the case mate?

i have this phone for 2 month now, never thought of a screen protector.
i don't think i will get one, the screen is still looking like it did on the first day!

You are better off getting case mate. That case you showed in the link is a pup. It comes in two parts, held together by 4 flimsy clips. Drop the phone and the thing springs apart and leaves your phone unprotected as it skids across the floor.

thanks. i was just wondering as i consider myself to be quite a butterfingers (had the phone for 2 months and dropped it about 5 times on solid concrete) which is why the case mate looked good as it kept a slim profile compared to something like the otterbox which looks really bulky but then some of the reviews said the fact it doesn't cover the whole phone can be a problem.

I just ordered some Martin Fields. They've been getting the best reviews so far. Will report back.
