Just taken my Zagg off and replaced it with a Martin Fields. Both of which are rubbish in their different ways.

Had a matt cover on my old iPhone and was seeing if anyone could recommend 1 for the DHD?

Ideally from a UK website if possible as I want to get this finger smudge magnet off ASAP! :D

I bought SGP matte and I love the absense of fingerprints an oil from my fingers as well as the anti-glare effect. I didn't have the chance to compare the loss of colour. No bubbles and very nice fit.

However, it is very expensive and they ask too much for delivery. Support and communication is also very poor. I never received any reply or order confirmation and I was about to open a Paypal claim against them because they never responded to my emails.

The choice is yours now.

i used brando antiglare screen protector , was really good, no smudges , no prints, really slick for swyping but , the distorion and that "dotted rainbow effect" on the screen was hugly noticable and it annoyed me after a while that i had to remove it now.

would love any recommendation for a matt protector with minimal screen colors loss

Do you get a rainbow effect or grainy look the the SGP?

Nope, rainbow effect is due to oil residue from your fingers that will mostly affect glossy protectors. I had it with my older HTC protector but not now.
what about that grainy look of the screen with matt protector ? its very obvious and remarkable specially on white background with brando anti glare.

u have those too with sgp antiglare mate ?

cheers

I' not sure I clearly understand the meaning of grainy look but from what I assume it is, I would say that this grainy look is what makes the protector matte, otherwise it would be glossy. They say that this fades colours but I didn't notice anything to disturb me but maybe it does indeeed.

It would be nice if I could have one matte and one glossy just to compare.

yeah i understand mate , had the same doubts at the beginning , but its easily noticeable specially if u take off the protector and see how shiny and clear the screen is (which is what i did,but i dont like the way the screen feels now, sticky and annoying me with games,swype,flicking around..etc )

SGP

I have an SGP Matte screen protector aswell, yes it does have the slight grainy look (something you cant help with matte protectors) but its not very noticeable and well worth it having no more fingerprints and a nice smooth glide across the screen :D

Hi. Does anybody happen to know if SGP can be bought in EU? I have searched but had no luck. Problem is that we have a limit of 80 dKr - approx 13$. Exeeding that limit by a cent would mean a 130 dkr fee and custom and wat applied. Kind regards.

that grainy look is the same as the one with brando antiglare or less :) ? i know its a rough question but if it is less then ill buy SGP antifinger print cos my brando screws the screen colors up .

I bought my SGP anti-fingerprint from the SGP Products Store on eBay. Same product prices but cheaper shipment, also to the EU. Shopped there twice so far, shipment was fast on both occasions.

BTW, I really like the sgp anti-fingerprint.
