Do screen protectors not impact the capacitive input function?
What thickness protection will allow capacitive input - will the Proporta Mizu Shell for HTC HD2 be thin enough to allow capacitive?
If the protector stops capacitive input will the device still register standard touch input?

you dont need a screen protector for the HD2
the screen is scratch resistance

I was taken in by that youtube video as well. Now I've scratched my screen and wish I'd never seen it.

Thanks for the tip. Ordered 2 packs of 3. My Leo is on it's way, and i'm prepared. My phones tend to live hard, so i'll go with a protector regardless of what ppl say about the scratch-resistancy of the screen.

Thanks for the hint
Ordered a pack too.. You never know whats happening to your phone during daily life.

i have these also.
the screen works fine with them on and they have a nice anti glare.
i'm waiting to see how the go in the car mount when using the satnav.
on the -ve side i just could not get them on the device perfectly - always a bit of dust on the edge. aligning them is ok.

hi,
i read that these ecell sceen protectors are finger print resistance ? does that mean there will be no fingerprints huH? They are not the matt type right ?

Mine arrived today, will fit tonight and report back

Mine arrived today. Here are the pics. Simply perfect!

Got 2 specks of dust causing small bubbles on the outer edges, but not on the actual screen, so I don't mind.
Anti-glare works well, and sensitivity is fine, great for the price!

hi, what about the finger prints ? does the screen protector attracts lots of finger rpints ? i saw finger print resistance on the package. Am curious what does it mean. Anyway, I ordered this too. Now waiting for delivery.

Well, about the fingerprints - there are some spots after usage, I'd say about 60% less than using it without screen protector.

cool. that review was helpful. thanks !

Mine came today.. They are okay. Wastet two bevor got one to stuck probably. BUT they send me a total of six instead of three. So no regrets here.
But consider, that the outer edge NEVER sticks okay.
Got one from HK too. (free gift included in charger and battry package) That one stuck probably even on the edges and wasnt as thick as the ecell one.

for the price they were very good, not 100.00% fit and got like 2 dust particles on the screen, but I can live with it
can recommend them

A tip I read for fitting is to fit it in the bathroom soon after you have had a hot shower with the window closed. The steam/water vapour in the air reduces the amount of dust floating about.

Hi Aleemz,
this is a very useful Tip.
When i Colored Cars i did it this way. So ther are no dust in the air.

Screen Protectors

Has anyone found somewhere with screen protectors for the Ameo (that will have stock before 15th April)?
My Ameo is getting delivered tomorrow, and I'm thinking that if I wait till 15th April, my screen will be scratched to bits by then. All the screen protector will get to do will be to neatly seal and preserve the scratches! ;-)
HI,
My T-mobile Ameo(The Netherlands) was delivered with a screenprotector
But the quality isn't as good as the UltraClears from Brando. But it's something. I will replace it when Brando has them for the Ameo.

be careful of the original screen protector, when you remove it, it might leaves a mask on the screen !! one of my friend used the original screen protector, and when he removed it, the screen surface got "lift up", so the surface is no longer flat!!! he has to send back and get a exchange at the end.
I am also looking for screen protector, i have contact Martin Field, and they say they will release one soon when they get the screen measurement.
there is a better choise i beleve, which is full body shield

Now this I like the look of. Durability! But how is the quality of the actual Screen protector? Is it like Boxwaves Clearview or 99% Anti-reflection...bla bla bla?
This is important as I don't want to loose the sharpness of the display or much of the touch sensitivity of the screen.
@wu5262:
Thanks for the warning(and all your other comments in the Athena section. I read them (almost) all).
I will be very carefull when peeling the screen protector off. And will order another one as soon as possible.
@lawbet7eb:
Thanks for the tip; Did you trey those yourself already? I Like to know how good they are on the screen. And if they give the same clearness as the Brando UltraClears or Boxwaves screen protectors.
I just oredered one, so I will test it and share the results with you guys!
@ dpbakker: Ik verwacht de protectie as vrijdag binnen te hebben!
Thanks/Dank je wel
I will wait with ordering then
Hi,
I couldn't wait and already got this screen/device protection and applied it.
It works verry wel and is, in my opinion, better/clearer than the original screen protector. It feels thicker dan the original one but the touch screen works as well as before. I also applied the protection on the rest of the device. That works OK as well. But the disadvantage of protection is that it is flexibel in the way that you can stretch the 'plastic'. So be very carefull when applying it. The protection for arround the screen was the only one not working for me. Mine wasn't cut out OK and I streched it to much. :-( So I threw it away.

is it possible for you to post some picture of it? how does it feel? does it make your device feel like a huge plastic?
I will make some pictures tonight( need a second camera for that).
It feels a bit plastic, but I don't mind. The Ameo is in it's case most of the time. If you touch the screen with your stylus then it feels a bit sticky, but you can drag arround the screen with your stylus with no problem. It is however difficult to apply the protection withou any bubble, but maybe I'm just a bit clumsy with that.
As promissed, the pictures.
I've got it also as of todayand I'm also positive avout this invisible shield protector. Indeed be carefull with getting of the plastic from the paper. Also use a lot of water (delivered with the package) because then you can position the shield the best. An other tip: use a tissue to get rid of the water between the shield and the screen.
Works perfect.
+ very easy to install
+ good protection for all sites of the device
+ very clear en bright
- easy to cut the thinner parts in 2
- he plasic is reel soft like a kind of thin rubber, so if you drag over the screen using your stylus feels like you stuck in the plasic a bit. Maybe this will get a bit better after a couple of day's.
Conclusion: 8+ (out of 10) so buy it!

Thanks for the heads-up - I've ordered mine now.
(And I can second the recommendation - I've tried a few different screen protectors before, and the Martin Fields one I used on my Universal was by far the best.)
Maybe Brando UltraClear would be the best solution???

Sounds good to me - have just ordered some Martin Fields protectors! Just can't wait for my Ameo now!
I bought a pack of Writeright things YEARS ago, and have been using the same pack ever since. However due to the size of the Ameo screen they come nowhere near filling it.
A shame, they are amazing.
The stock one that came with it is a bit sticky for my liking, and a tiny bit too narrow. I have over a 1mm gap at the right because I lined up at the left edge exactly.
Im not so good at fitting them, so a couple of bubbles. Has anyone lifted and replaced the stock protector? recommended methods? The old fingernail under the corner always ruins them.
Some people suggest a bit of sticky tape to lift the corner.

I disagree. I have just fitted the Martin Field screen protector to my Ameo abd it didn't work well. I have had to take it off and now I have no screen protector temporarily.

Brando Screen Protector

Hi all,
since Brando Screen Protector is still not avaible, and thus Magic has 3.2" display, which one of the ones avaible could fit our dispaly? In another words, which ppc or cellphone has a 3.2" display so that we can use it to supply it?
i think the g1's screen protector would work? I just cut up an ipod touch's screen protector to fit the screen...although its painstaking but came out really good in the end!

How does this work?
magic had a capacitive screen that reacts to the skin of your finger.
how can it still work when there is a piece of plastic between it?
I do want a screen protector, but i dont understand it..

Tiny microscopic holes?
it responds to change in the electromagnetic field on the surface of the screen. this field also recalibrates itself, so it doesnt change at all when applying something not too thick.

Don't buy invisible shields, they are terrible, please read other threads!!!!!
I've bought 2 of them in the past, you have to spray the liquid thats supplied all over ya screen so you can fit the protector. Once all is dry the protector does'nt have a nice slide on it, its actually very sticky.....
I really don't think spraying all this liquid over your new phone to apply the protector does it any good......
Regards,
R.
I think i will buy the Brando Workshop Anti-Glare screen protector for Magic.
Anyone else bought this??
I bought a Martin Fields one from ebay, about £10 I thin but it is perfect.
Doesn't affect use of the screen at all, fits perfectly and you can barely tell it's even on.
I ordered one from Brando, it costed 12$ with ports to Portugal, i hope i've made the right choice.
Ok, i have now my brando screen protector, and it is just perfect and i can't almost notice it is on the screen. It fits just perfect. I really recommend this!
How do the Brando ones fit? I've used Brando protectors for a while now and they used to be a great fit but my most recent one for the Touch Diamond was about 1.5mm too small. Not a disaster but I'd prefer it to reach the edge exactly.
Is it the same with these or have they made them fit properly?
Mik
It just fit's properly. 100% good choice

Screen protector with s-pen

So I've been reading the thread about not using a screen protector because it can mess with the s-pen but im curious if anyone who has one has actually had issues. I used to buy screen protectors but last time I did i got frustrated with air bubbles and gave up. My year old g2x which has gorilla glass still doesnt have a scratch on the screen. I carry my phones in leather belt holsters so that helps with eliminating pocket scratches. I'd like to hear from people who actually have put a screen protector on thier note 2.
Unfortunately I can't comment on using the S-Pen with a screen protector, but I will link you to this video about screen protector installation that will reduce the likelihood of having bubbles.

Pretty good method. The issue I would always end up with is no matter how many times i wipe the screen there ends up being one tiny spec of dust that land on the screen and cause a bubble and once that happens you basically screw because the dust never wants to come off the protecotor. You can see in his video that the same thing happened to him and he was able to get it off with tape. I have some confidence in gorilla glass after going over a year with my g2x and still no screen scratches but plenty of drops.

go to your bathroom let the hot water run for few minutes so it collects all the dust in the air, then apply it there and hopefully you will have no dust
I use a screen protector, and also had one on my Note 1 and have no problems with the S pen functionality or sensitivity.
I had a 1 week period with no protector on the Note 2 as the shops didn't have any in yet, and noticed no difference between it being on or off.
I use the Focus Crystal Clear. It is very thin and clear. They have matt, anti glare ones, but they make the screen look dull.
http://www.dplushk.com/ultra-crystal-clear.htm
I got the shop to put it on for me. They did an excellent job. They used tape to clear the screen of dust, and also used tape to handle the protector whilst lining it up to apply it. That allowed them to lift it back up again if the alignment was slightly off without getting finger prints on the screen.

I don't use protector now as the glass is really strong in ant-iscratching I think.
I got 1 dollar screen protector, and today I put ZAGG one on, and everything works.
Had some trouble with Zagg due to dust, but I think it turned out great, I taped my self 13 minutes long, I'll put it on youtube.

I Just want to take the time to thank both of you. I Ordered a Spigen Ultra Crystal screen protector and used both of these methods combined and ended up with a perfect install on my first try. I just got my Note 2 in the mail today and left the original screen protector on it. Did the hinge method with painters tape, took a shower then took off the original screen protector and applied the Spigen Ultra Crystal screen protector. Came out great! O yeah I also wore a pair of rubber gloves just to be even more safe since I've had so many bad experiences applying screen protectors. I will comment back on S-Pen usage with the protector once I've actually used the phone lol i was just so excited about applying the protector perfectly that I had to come and thank you guys first!

+1 for Spigen!
I purchased the Spigen SGP [Ultra Oleophobic] and it installed and works perfectly.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009F260IA/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00
The first day I was a little worried the material was too "grippy" but oils from fingers/face has it working perfectly.
Oh and an additional installation trick is to take super fine grit sandpaper to your fingers tips (ha, not to get rid of fingerprints!!) to exfoliate dead skin cells that usually make up the tiny particles that contaminate the film or screen, especially around the edges where you can't help but make contact with the underside of the film. After using the sandpaper wash with a soap that does not have a lotion in it (like some dish soaps and Dove etc). I personally use denatured alcohol to remove all the oil from my fingers so touching the screen or film inadvertently will not leave any marks. It's only a few extra minutes of prep but gives you a flawless installation every time.

Suggestions for screen protector

Decided I shouldn't go without a screen protector, looks like the tempered glass ones won't work well because the screen in curved on the edges. Anyone have experience with or can recommend a good one? I often see suggestions on here that I couldn't find on my own and I'm thinking one of you guys can help.
By the way i went with this case:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M15T2I3/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1
I like it except that the camera and volume buttons aren't cut outs. It fits the phone well.
I appreciate any suggestions.
Same boat as you. The ones offered Amazon all seem to complain about them being too thin, bezel to bezel.

Nillkin has crappy cases for F5321 that offer little more than scratch protection, and you're incessant advertising for them across the all the device boards is obvious, so you can hardly be considered objective.

I decided to go with the Skinomi as well, put it on my XC yesterday. Very happy with the results, it's been a while since I have used a non-tempered glass screen protector and for some reason I was expecting the touch screen to be hard to use and the experience generally unpleasant. This wasn't the case and it fits perfectly. recommended.

I saw those but have seen to many negative things about G Color protectors to ever try one out myself. Lots of videos on youtube about them being crap.
I got these ones from ebay and they're a perfect fit. Quite easy to apply and cover right to the edge of the curved screen.
Worthwhile watching the video before starting. It's been on a few weeks now and no finger marks and the feel is good

I ordered one of those g color protectors yesterday. I'll be that guy that tests it. Should get it sunday. If its moot I'll try that skinomi one. I kinda want the skinomi one just for the rear protector.
edit: Ok got it in yesterday. Packaging was nice and it came with the normal included things. Putting it on was kind of a pain in the ass. This was mostly contributed to the curved screen but it is doable with some patience. I messed up putting it on the first time and lifted it up gently and repositioned it. The adhesive was just as sticky as the first time so there is room for error. I have a cheap jelly case off amazon on it currently until my devil case comes in from overseas but it does not have any conflict with the screen protector as long as you get it on next to perfect.
Clarity is good except for one small small detail and another really annoying detail. The small detail is you can see a line around the boarder between the glass and the "carbon fiber". While annoying I can understand that it's 2 different materials and I don't see how you couldn't have that problem. The really annoying one is it cuts off some pixels on both sides of the screen. It isn't really noticeable until i use reddit sync which then when viewing the comments it becomes apparent. It kinda irritates me but for the moment I'd rather have a couple of blocked off pixels then the screen exposed.
I give it a 6/10 mostly because of the cut off pixels. If it wasn't for that my initial rating would be more of a 8 or a 9/10. I will comment later on down the road if I experience the adhesive pulling up.

Lol, I am positive I saw your review on Amazon when I left mine (we also have the same case). Anyhow, although I disagree with the installation, I agree with everything else. Installation for me was slightly confusing, but really easy once I understood what to do. Air bubbles were a pain to get out, but that's to be expected. As for the quality, it's perfectly fine except for your two points. Mostly your second point: the pixel cutoff. While definitely bearable and not very noticeable most of the time, in certain apps it really is irritatingly noticeable. I would have to recommend against getting this screen protector and waiting until a better one comes out. I'm keeping it on until I find a really good case and/or a better glass screen protector.
Has anyone tried the Nillkin "Amazing H tempered glass screen protector"? Would really like to know if it's any good because I enjoy their frosted case.
Looks like Devilcase now offers a curved glass screen protector: http://www.twdevilcase.com/en/index.php?menu=prod_detail&mid=21&did=7&pid=5280&list=class
BTW, their case for this phone is really thick. Not as stylish as their early, asymmetrical cases :/

I got these ones from ebay and they're a perfect fit. Quite easy to apply and cover right to the edge of the curved screen.
Worthwhile watching the video before starting. It's been on a few weeks now and no finger marks and the feel is good

This is not great, but is the best I've found so far. It's not got perfect adhesion on the edges, but I've tried the super soft screen protector, flat glass and curved glass with glue only on the edges so dirt gets under it. I'd love to find a curved glass one that has glue all over it instead of just a tiny but around the edges.
I'm also looking for a curved screen protector that "glues" properly (direct contact) to the entire screen, not just the edges.
It doesn't have to be tempered glass either, simple cheap TPU would work fine.
The ebay one mentioned above doesn't ship outside of UK, so it's no good for me.

I have a problem with that screen protector, it turns proximity sensor always on, so you can't access the phone in call.
When I removed the devilcase curved glass screen protector, the proximity sensor starts to work again.
Seems that roxfit screen protector has similar issue.

Finally a proper fitting glass screen protector.

I have tried many and finally found one that actually fits. Until now the best one I have seen is the non glass protector made by Skinobi (for those that like plastic ones use it). However in the glass department they all sucked. The Qoosea one fit but it's about as cheap as you can get construction wise. It's curved but it only has a small amount of basic adhesive along the edges. So basically pocket lint can get under the screen and get stuck there. Also since it doesn't fully sit on the screen sometimes using the screen itself can be a hassle due to poor touch detection. Well all I can say is thank god Top Ace came out with one recently and actually got it right.
It's curved glass, plenty of adhesive on the side that counts and by god it actually fits perfectly. Things line up where they are supposed too. Anyway figured this deserved it's own post since finding a glass protector for this phone can be a pita at times due to the curved edges. Posted a link below, hope it helps. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M3MZQTK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got mine yesterday and I can confirm that yes, this one actually fits great. I bought 2 in case they don't make them anymore when the first one eventually breaks.
From the pictures and one of the latest reviews it looks like this screen protector covers up the light sensor. Are there any completely clear screen protectors that fully covers the front?
Just read one of the comment said it covers the sensor that the phone is unable to turn on the screen automatically during a call when you put it away from your face. Anyone can confirm it?
I bought one on Ebay and it arrived and had curvy edges, but the idiots had sent me one for the full-size Xperia X even though it was in a packet marked X Compact. Way too big. Now I have to fight for a refund.

Mine had the sensor cut out and everything was right where it was supposed to be. Maybe he got the wrong one not sure. I went with the black one and it was fine.

Anyone know of a UK source for these or a seller who will post to the UK on Ebay/Aliexpress etc?
I too bought one that only sticks to the edge of the phone and it's already got a piece of dust underneath it! I love being able to swipe from the edge with the curved edges and I love the longevity of glass screen protectors, but it's horrible to use as it's just floating a bit off the surface of the phone and makes a click noise/feel when I tap. I asked a load of Ebay sellers and they all said their glass curved screen protectors only stick around the edge of the phone.
Thanks.
Hi,
I found this one on Devilscase when I checked the Aluminium bumber.
http://www.twdevilcase.com/en/index.php?menu=prod_detail&mid=21&did=7&pid=5258&list=class It's curved and seems to have the adhesive on the full screen (except the edges).
Did anyone tried it already out?
Cheers from Erfurt/Germany

Based on them saying all over the website "Please be noted the adhesive is visible on the edge of CURVED Glass Protector" I imagine these ones only have glue on the edges too.
If anyone is wondering, I've attached a photo of what happens if you use a generic glass Ebay curved screen protector that only has glue on the very edges for a fortnight! Lots of dust has crept in through the speaker holes etc - the white dots showing are all dust UNDER the screen protector. I'm going to buy a plastic one that will stick properly.
I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N8XMXGB
Seems like it just ran out of stock though.
edit: I asked the seller and they said they will not restock it, so I guess this will be the last time you'll see it.

I did. I paired it with the aluminum bumper and while the bumper is top quality as usual with devilcase products, I can't say the same for the screen protector.
The screen protector does fit perfectly but it collects dust behind it after few weeks and the responsiveness and consistency of the touchscreen are compromised.
I've been looking for an alternative to buy in Europe but found none. Topace is not an option as is in stock only on Amazon USA. If anyone has suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem and got refunded. Ordered from different seller and got the correct sized one. The item itself is bad. It feels plastic, touch is not always responsive and swipe gesture for opening menu drawer is hard. I need to really press the edge before doing the slide. Screen feel more distance and it feels there are separation between the protector and the screen.
I replaced it with a generic plastic screen protector which actually feels better, easier to make slide gesture, seems more seamless. The ebay curved screen protector is really that bad. I am going to keep using the plastic one and cut a new one to fit it more properly. I also need to check how to prevent it is being lifted up accidentally from the dangling side. I can stand the dust on the dangling side, but i hate when it is lifted up and the lint is actually below the screen protector.
My experience
This is the reference for my second e-bay cover it does not have dust and has lasted much longer than my first that did.
My recollection is that there is adhesive everywhere.

No. You are wrong. I bought one based on your recommendation and it's just another rubbish one that only only has glue in thin strip round the edges that will allow dust to creep in the speaker/camera holes and scratch the screen. More negative feedback to leave!
Why do not manufacturers produce a curved screen protector that's made properly!?! The glue can't be that expensive! [emoji36]
