The stock one. Best price/quality ratio IMO. There are slightly better ones but ridiculously expensive. And the invisible shield is crap (at least for the iphone4, and I would never put it on my DHD).

Yes, definitely stay away from Zagg & other helicopter-blade-derived solutions. They are good for protecting the body from scratches, but you don't want that sticky, orange-peely screen protector.

My personal favourite over the last few devices I have owned, has been Martin Fields, but it is very expensive.

I have put on the stock HTC one, bought from a local seller on ebay.

The only thing to watch out for when applying it, is that there is a top and a bottom to the screen protector... the top has a slightly different profile compared to the bottom, and the HTC protector at least has the peel-away piece of plastic at the top.

I'm just curious - when did you buy the stock protector and does it have the two little bubbles at the top-left corner (where the peel-away piece was)? I'm hoping that HTC corrected their manufacturing line because on the early batches of the protectors (I bought mine Nov 2010) there are the two bubbles.

HTC original is the best indeed, little expensive but you get quality, had tried alot of others, all damage very fast !

I recomment the original HTC screen protector. They fit perfectly, but it's kinda hard to put them on without any dust and dirt. I tried it with one protector about 5 times, but had to wash it with water to get off the dirt. After a party, my screen was ****** up. I don't know why, but I think it was a good idea to use a protector. So I removed it and now I have 3 scratches and a alot of very very small ones.

No, neither of the 2 that were in the pack, had bubbles - or unneveness in the top left corner.

I must say that I dislike putting screen protectors on, and the DHD seemed to be the most difficult of the 5 or 6 I have put on, due to how air gets in even if the protector is not aligned perfectly. Got it right eventually though

Weird. I'm using the "ZAGG Invisible Shield HTC Desire HD Skin" for 8 months now and it's still as clear as without it.

Bought 20 for a few pounds on ebay, the cheap ones work fine like any else. Even though they take scratches to them easy, you can easily wear 'em out for at least 6 months, and then you just apply a new one of your 20! 10 year lifespan is not bad, although I doubt I'll keep my phone for that long!

Must agree with you Juusuhako, also boght some cheap screen protectors, which saved my screen from geting broke when it slipt once from my hands.

For me they last about 3-4 months

+1 on that!

sedio ultimate screen gaurd. I wrote a review on it some time ago, by far the best i've ever used.

Does the original HTC one slide well? Cause most of the time they're a little sticky and make the utilization less smooth.

I use the protection ship with the Case-mate "Barely there" and it's good for me : good smoothness, no bubbles and easy to install.
With my previous desire i put a vikuiti DQC 160 and i find it more easy to install.

HTC protectors are fantastic indeed, but my own has the same two bubble problem described in the first posts.

HTC's skin is great. Same problem with the bubbles...

I keep mine in the HTC branded leather case. 6 months of daily use, and it's immaculate. I could wipe the screen on my shirt and it would look like it was just unboxed.

I can't say the same for my Topaz, which is scratched, grazed, and chipped all over. Screen protectors protect the screen; Pouches protect the phone.
