My Diamond was delivered today.
Im just wondering whether you guys feel it is worth installing the supplied HTC screen protector? Im wary of having dust/bubbles trapped under the screen and suffering a dull display with poor responsiveness to the touch functions.
Could you please give me your opinions/experiences and any installation tips.
Im still undecided.
Thanks

using built-in forum search ... aiming at section Diamond -> Diamond searching for "Screen Protector" provided me with some topics although I admit the fact that searching isn`t all you need to get the answer ... you need to know what are you searching for
I've never regretted using a screen protector, plenty of times I could have.
Strange that your device comes with a screen protector, mine didn't. I ended up getting one of the Martin Fields ones, love'em.
I think all original Diamond`s come with screen protector unless it`s branded. There`s no point in including them just in some series If your`s HTC then write them and ask for your protector
the one that came in the box is pretty crap. Mine's already scratched up. Martin Fields screen protectors are getting really good feedback.
I've already scratched my protector. It's a no brainer to install one - every HTC I've used has gotten scratched in the first day before I got round to protecting, and it definitely makes it tougher to sell later.

I've been using the one in the box for a month and it's perfect. The pro's are
using isopropanol (alcohol) and after that tape to remove any particles left.

hi,
i accidentally scratched my screen, anybody knows what can be done to remedy this?
thanks
actually scratch removers peel down a little bit of your surface and for a touchscreen I can´t recommend any scratch removers at all! Think you have to live with it although even on a normal screen you can´t remove deep scratches only light ones.
though, i think it's there forever mate, a screen change may be?
that's why i always insist on a screen protector since day 1, didn't the package come with a screenguard?

You can also try and put a screen protector to sort of cover up for it.
yeah, thats what i thought....
thanks for the replies

HTC Diamond Replacement Screen
HTC quoted a friend £75 for labour and brand new replacement screen.
I used the scratch remover.
And it works pretty nice.
i can only see some leftover superficial scratches when the sun shines on it.
i am happy with it.
75 is not bad for a new screen!
Where did he do that?
in the diamond accesory forum, you will find the same topic.
admin please close this one.
Has anyone ever used this before? I've heard of it and seen it mentioned but never looked into it. I am interested in getting it now that I have this beautiful phone but I'm not 100% sure how it works. Do they typically just replace the device with a new one or do they give you a refurb? Also, if anyone has any tips on getting tiny scratches out of the screen it would be much appreciated. I somehow got a small one on my screen. I can't feel it when I run my finger across it but I can with my nail. I can also only see it at certain angles in good lighting.
Hmm let's see go to SquareTrade.com for answers. And Google the rest for more answers. Thread closed
Here's a tip for you, stop putting your nails on the screen that usually helps it from getting scratches. Also a screen protector is pretty good at covering up existing scratches. But as far as removing scratches thats already on the screen? You're outta luck buddy.

I don't use my nails on the screen I was just saying that's the only way I can actually feel it. I have done some research on SquareTrade but I was looking for people who have actually used it, not just what their website says. I've seen methods for removing small scratches but was also looking for some input before my screen protector comes in the mail. Sorry for trying to get answers to my questions in the Q&A forum...
Has anyone used a tempered glass screen protector for this phone, I know it doesn't cover the whole screen, just wanted to know what people think about it. I've already ordered 3 pieces from different suppliers to see the differences, and whether it goes well on the phone.
id be interested to know if you get a good 1 cause ive bought the mobilefun version and it failed bad i got a full refund within 10mins of applying it. so cross that off your list lol

I have a few coming in during the next few day, I will try them out and give you some feedback, it's hard to use PET after many years of using a glass protector, so I have to try it out.
do you still have the protector, can you post a photo of it.
thanks
thanks, a good idea will be to provide some info on were u got em and i will have a look into getting some different ones and trying them out. right now ive bought "3x Vikuiti™ MySafeDisplay Screen Protector DQCT130 from 3M for Nokia Lumia 930" from "protectionfilms24" these work well enough but would love to have glass as ive got it on my other devices! thnx

I get them all from china, from some of the suppliers.
once i'll posted the results, and if it's positive, i'll see if I can ask the supplier or shop to put some online.
Update
Apprently I received the 3 glass protectors today, and i'm completely disappointed with them, it seems like glass protectors are out, i'm using my old pet A.R.M station one now which seems to fit the best so far, apart from the sides about 3 mm, the whole of the surface is covered, may be i'll try something like invisible shield next.
There isn't point in posting photo's, it's a waste of time.:fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the experience anyways.
I'd also say get one with wet apply, if you live in europe Invisishields are by far the best I think, at least in Germany others like Skinomis are really expensive to ship. I got myself an Invisishield, and it's really good so far. It covers up the whole area, except for an extremely tiny part which is good since it doesn't get loose on the edges. The only thing I don't really like about it is the feel, it's a bit rubbery, but I guess that's due to the type and in normal use it doesn't really bother me.

I've actually used invisibleshield before, the rubbery surface will wear out, and it will discolour overtime, but it's our only option for better protection.
Off topic Q: have you used the official flip case CP-637, i'm interested in the green one to compliment my green phone, but thinking the green will get very dirty quickly, so do you think the black is a better option.
checking out a few screen protectors from ebay
invisble phone guard
front and back and sides USD 19
extreme guard
front and back USD 10
screenknight
front and back USD 14.50
not available from invisible shield.
they are all very cheap, do you know if they are all the same.
update:
I got the xtreme guard from their site, it was more expensive at USD 10.99, then shipping on top which was about USD 6, from ebay it's USD 10 with shipping, but found on the internet a 85% off discount, so I purchased 2 sets which adds upto USD 9.17.
good saving
Has anybody ever heard of this? Just heard about it on the radio and checked it out. Seems pretty interesting, but can't seem to find much info on it.

Haha, it just seems like you would have heard more about this technology if it was really good! So, what was your experience with it? Was it hard to apply, or it didn't protect from scratches??
https://youtu.be/atF92f3qQ3Q
Interesting. I would still feel kinda weird about it.
Maybe it works. Hell liquipel is anano as well and that works..
Dont know

Ok. I checked my gmail history for this purpose
It was end of 2012 and the name the thing was "Crystalusion Liquid Glass Screen Protector", the price was 10 British pounds with shipping.
I applied it as per instruction but I did not notice ANY difference at all, I also pretty sure that I even forgot that I did it in a couple of days... 2012 means that I had HTC One X at that time and i sold it unbroken in spring when M7 was out. So maybe it actually worked xD jk

Hahahaha, I guess not even noticing/remembering you applied could be seen as a good thing?! Honestly though, I don't know anything about this company/technology so I'm a bit weary to try it out.. Compared to "name-brand" protectors like Zagg and Spigen.
I have order one. I will test it on my old smartphone and upload video on youtube.

I have tried such product long ago for my Samsung S3. I don't find it that helpful. In fact my screen got scratched even after applying that, within one month.
I would say, this product is a gimmic. Mostly, all current device comes with Gorilla glass. So this protector acts like a polish, thats all.

Yeah, I also read that you need to re-apply the product every year or so, which I just don't feel like doing. I'd rather go with a tempered glass protector with a lifetime warranty. Get my money's worth!
I have tested it, and it is does not work.
I applied it on half of screen and tried to scratch the phone. There is no different part of screen with applied Kristall Liquid is scratching the same as part of screen without Kristall Liquid. The same finger prints are the same on both parts of screen.
In my opinion it is waste of money.
I make some video but quality is not the best. maybe later I will upload it on youtube.

Thanks for being a guinea pig! haha. Too bad it seems to be too good to be true.
Kristall liquid screen protector
The product works great and preserves the natural beauty of your phone. More info at kristallnorthamerica.com.
Brand new on the market abd works better than other nano products that came before. It just won best in show at CES 2016 from a major trade publication
While I personally have never tried any of these liquid screen protectors I know a few years back Linus made a test video after applying some. Pretty sure it was a different brand though.

Hello Group
I should be getting my S21 Ultra any day now (I hope) anyway Ive read that it comes with a screen protector and Ive also read that it doesnt, so does it come with one and even if it does do you guys put another one on top of the one that came with the phone?
And feel free to recommend one too. Thanks
What are you asking?

In certain places, it comes with a screen guard and in some places, it doesn't! The best one in my experience is the one that comes with the phone... Other than that, everyone else has some problem or the other!

If you're living in the best country in the world the USA then it won't come with a screen protector. Just a thin clear factory film that has a pull tab on the top right hand corner.
Rumor has it Samsung stopped applying screen protectors to it's devices sold in the USA. Because folks were returning the complete phone or creating mass warranty claims due to marks on the plastic supplied screen protector. Thus Samsung ceased it for this market. Wasn't worth the hassle.
I believe the snapdragon variants don't come with the screen protectors (US models) the Exynos ones do (Non-US models) I personally like whitestone glass protectors (they can be a pain in the ass to get on, but once you get the perfect fit it's like they're not there)

I have the snapdragon version which came with a pre installed screen protector (got the phone a week ago). The pre installed protector is pretty good but I replaced it with an amfilm glass protector which is amazing!
Hey, Thanks for the replies. I'm pretty sure I'll be getting the US version at least I hope so

They don't come with screen protector. But I'm sure yours will, I feel it inside my bones.
