Okay, I really need the perfect screen protector! - HD2 Accessories

Please help me. I am tired of trying so many different screen protectors and none of them seem to fit the HD2 perfectly.
I've tried many about 3 sellers from ebay and even the invisibleshield screen protectors.
I cannot seem to find one that is perfectly aligned to the HD2's screen from top to bottom and side to side.
Here the invisible shield screen protector. Look how badly it aligns around the speaker and from side-to-side!

Can someone please recommend me a perfectly aligned screen protector!
I don't care if it's glossy or matted. Just as long as it is perfectly aligned, sticks very well and high quality and NOT cheapy!
Thank you so much guys.
And if you can please take a picture of your recommended ones...That's be great!

the alignment around the speaker is done with a purpose. this cutout in the screenprotector makes sure the lightsensor and proximity sensor are not blocked.
if it fits tight around the speaker hole the proximity switch isnot working anymore. this sensor is controlling the switching on and off of the screen in a call. when the screen protector covers this sensor this means the screen goes and stays dark when making a call and when you remove the phone from your ear the screen will not light up. so you will not be able to control the phone by the screen.
i had a screen protector where it had a hole for this sensor but was not properly aligned so had the same effect and i had to cut it the way yours looks to getit working again

there is already a topic for that on this forum where most brands have been discussed.
"not aligned to speaker grids: joking? this is sensors layout! though not everbody experiences problems with sp covering them.
for ex my antiglare covers the sensor but does not interfere at all, still very "sensitive".

Can you tell me where she got her's then? Brand? And also, is the SP aligned edge to edge?
Because I hate a screen protector that does leaves about 1cm of screen unprotected (see pictures).

Not to step on anyone's toes here, but let's also remember that the purpose of the screen saver is to protect the screen from damage, which I highly doubt is likely to occur in the nanometer of space at the edge of an imperfect screen protector. I do realize that we want to do the best we can to make things right, but I am just trying to throw a little perspective into the mix.

Martin Fields Overlay Screen Protector is what I got and it fits perfectly. Easily to install, no bubbles. It not a cheap one but worth it IMO.

this one:

Search for 3M Vikuiti DQC160
it's perfect. unlike most, it is perfectly cut for the speaker, covers the light and proximity sensors and they still work perfectly.

I will always vouch for Martin Fields... however you can also consider PDair's screen protector... mine fits ALL the edges perfectly... it also follows the speaker grill... you can't even tell its there. Because they claim (and I believe it after using it) 99% transparency... it is so clear my light sensors work perfectly even though the SP covers it...it also isnt cheap

I use that one too. Very nice feel in use, and washable too so you can have multiple attempts at applying it perfectly.
However I have a slight bubble on my screen but its not visible when the phone is switched on. With skilled hands there's no reason you couldn't apply a perfect fit.

THE GENUINE HTC PROTECTOR LINES UP PERFECTLY ! MADE BY HTC THEMSELVES WITH ACTUAL PDAS NOT DUMMY MODELS LIKE OTHER SCREEN PROTECTOR MANUFACTURERS !
Cheapest on eBay, not kidding ! Another search shows one for 3.75 pounds total. Get it here for 3 quid if bidding and if you want to buy now for 3.5 quid.
These retail for about 8.22 at Clove Technology.
Get a screen protector for your loved HD2, I certainly got one for my baby.
See here :

in another hand if the SP is a bit too large this may not stick well/make bubbles on the sides depending on the product.
1mm gap can't really bee seen and is not on the touchscreen field.

As promised, pics of Vikuity DQC:
and these last with Flexishield case on:
As you can see, i need to vacuum, it's really dusty @ my place.
Hope it helps

fits perfect but 15 dollars for just one screen protector, the oem iphone one is 10 for 2 and theyre the best ones they make

we have a saying here: "you get what you pay for". As the chances of me scratching the screen or even just the protector are very slim (haven't scratched a screen yet) i think it was well worth the money. Also, big plusses for me were the button cutouts, instead of it not covering the whole glass area like ebay ones, the feel when touched almost identical to the glass screen, and also the free install by a professional, which guaranteed a perfect, bubble free fit. Also, if you don't have pro to install it for you you can take it off and just wash it..

Screen Protector?

Does anyone here know of any nice and good screen protector for sale online? Cant find anything much over at ebay.
I've read in a review of htc hd2 that a screen protector will not be good because capacitive screen (I don't know if it's right or not)
Well there are none included in the HTC's boxed HD2 which seems to be a hint.
galaxys> yeah, I read about that too. I think i should just go ahead and buy from ebay as I don wanna risk my coming HD2 having a scratches... especially on the screen.
Having not put a screen protector on my Blackstone as soon as I bought it and then put a deep scratch on the screen I will be fitting one to my Leo when it arrives. I was not sure about there being one in the box - thanks for that galaxys - so I ordered one with my Leo from HandTec.

Well iPhones have screen protectors....
well,
this are my 2 cent of thinking about screenprotector for hd2 (or iphone as well)
1. there display surface of capacitive screens is made of real glas not plastic!, wich makes it more 'scratch resistend' then the plastic ones used in other devices.
2. you have to use your finger and not the fingernail (pen, or other hard and sharp things) to make the display reacting. so this is another 'scratch preventer'.
3. the display films today are that thin, that i dont think they prevent the display from responding.
so after all i thing i will buy a screenprotector for my hd2 but im realy not in a hurry getting it. its definetly not a 'high priority' thing on my 'todolists'
regards mad

!!! WARNING !!! - I've now tried this product. Touch screen doesn't work at all with this screen protector fitted - !!! AVOID !!!
http://www.protectionfilms24.com/article/vikuiti-armr200-screen-protector-htc-hd2-28088.html
Looks pretty good - 3M film pre-cut, full face. 3M docs suggest 3-6 months life from film. It's a thin film 5 mil and is fine with capacitative display.
Have you seen the new apple mouse - that's a capacitative touch screen with the sensor loops under a plastic shell...
!!! WARNING !!! - I've now tried this product. Touch screen doesn't work at all with this screen protector fitted - !!! AVOID !!!
Its a misconception that Screenprotectors reduce sensitivity of a Capacitive screen. That totally BS. Capacitive is in no way affected by a screen protector.
And believe me, you will need a screen protector for even a glass based surface. After all you dont wanna see even 1 little scratch!
Im getting a Zagg Full body protector as soon as I buy this device.
Please fill in the request here for Zagg to make a Guard for the HD2 :

There's probably a reason why HTC sell screen protectors for the HD2 at their online store.
But if we really need one, then i don't see why the didn't include one :s
I've used a Martin Fields on my X1 and it's brilliant. I'm waiting them to release one than I'll be ordering mine!
If I end up getting one, then it's because I want an anti-glare protector to help with fingerprints, smudges, glare, & sunlight legibility!

Using Adapt Screenprotector
Because you can never be too sure, I use the Adapt Diamond Screenadapter for HD2. It works fine for me. I do not notice any difference in screen handling what so ever. (But then again, my TomTom doesn't show any lagging either )

Best Screen Protector

I can't figure out why there isn't a thread on this in the Accessories section of the forum. Those crazy Euro guys have a few threads on this topic and we have none.
Well, be it Zagg, Clear-Coat, Lexerd, BodyGuardz, etc? Is there a comprehensive comparison out there somewhere? All I ever see from Google searches is forums with everybody saying something different and defending their single purchase.
I think almost everything is going to end up being more subjective when it comes to these.
I have used many kinds in the past and each time I get a new device I always order a Phantomskinz.
I only wish they offered just the screen part in matte, but for under $8 for two skinz shipped I have found it to have the best clarity and feel.
I am horrible at putting protectors on and something always goes wrong, but even with the little imperfections I don't notice them when using the device.
Like the Boxwave - they have both crystal and matte. Like it because it fits the tMobile version perfectly and there is protection for the entire front glass surface including around the bottom surrounding the buttons. Have had them before on all my touch and non touch screen phones. You do have to be careful when applying to avoid bubbles but it can be removed and reapplied again and again.
best screen protector by far to me is the Clarivue screen protector. http://cgi.ebay.com/2-x-Clarivue-Sc...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c1323f296
I've used it on all of my phones, ( htc dash, tilt, g1, fuze, and now my hd2) all came in a two pack, with a screen cleaning wipe, no adhesive, self clinging, I won't buy anything else.
Invisible Shield from Zagg
Second time I've used 'em. First time was on my Samsung Behold and it actually increased the touch screen performance.
Just got the full coverage on my HD2 last night. Still trying to get used to it. It's definitely more "grabby". Seems to make your fingers stick to the screen, which in turn activates an unwanted app or link. It's only been a day and I'm sure it will smooth out and become more responsive. It did for my Samsung. It will give the back of your phone a gloss look, which I don't care for, but it won't get scratches when it sits in my pocket or slides across my dash. It will fell less slippery in your hands too.
Pricey but worth it in the end. If anyone is considering it, PM me, I think I have a discount code floating around in my email somewhere I can pass on.
Hope that helps.
Why do you want a screen protector? the screen is scratch resistant. I watched my TMO sales rep attack it with the end of a pair of hardcore scissors and not a scratch on the demo model.

Several peeps from this site have said that they have gotten scratches on their HD2 screen. But yeah, I've seen the videos, but never tried it myself. I still use a screen protector just in case.
I think the Zagg are too thick and dont like the "orange peel" effect they give. I tried a few different brands and have nothing but great things to say about Clear Coat. Easy to install too. I take mine back once a month just to get a replacement whether it needs it or not. They replace no questions asked every time. No hassle. My favorite so far.
Clear Coat
BW UltraClear from Brando
My current phone is an Xperia, and I'm using the BW UltraClear. I've had it on my Axim and iMate Jam as well. It doesn't have a grainy look, and it works great with my stylus. I ordered one last week in preparation for the HD2, and another one for my gf's iPod Touch. The cheap screen protector is messing up her touch response.
i still have yet to find a good one...cheap ones are crap with touch responsiveness, good ones wear out quick

Skinomi TechSkin: a bit daunting to put on, uses a "wet water" solution, worked fine on the first try. Screen cover is a little thicker and more "grabby" than I expected. Touch & pinch thru the film is fine, not as good as no protector at all. Transparency is excellent.
Microthin dry-transfer film: easy to apply, to re-apply, and to replace. Much thicker than the Skinomi. Touch thru the film is fine, but pinch operations take a little getting used to.
Stock coating (no after-market cover): Great touch, no scratches in 2 weeks' everyday use. If Seidio or someone comes out with a good, soft-lining face-in holster, I'd skip the screen skin.
just recieved the vikuiti screen protector and despite all the rumours of it not fiting the tmobile u.s. version because of the 1.5mm difference...i can confirm that it fits perfectly and fingers glide smoothly across the screen on my phone...even covers under the buttons unlike many other protectors...they also come with warranty...if it doesnt stick or starts to come up they will send out a replacement for no charge...or so they say...havnt had to try it yet...cost a little over 10 dollars and arrived in 5 days from HK to US
also the capdase hard silicone case works great with our version as well...just off slightly off at the bottom by the microphone but people can still hear just fine.....very snug and not feeling loose...it keeps the contour of the phone on the back which i like and it still keeps the phone slim...totally transparent...covers the camera in the back so it can be left on a table without suffering any scratches to the chrome bezel or the camera lens...looks sweet...cost is $13.40 shipped and arrived in 5 days from hong kong
Kind of a gamble but for me it worked out perfectly and exactly what i was looking for..
I must have sticky fingers because I have a hard time sliding my finger across the glass. Kind of a pain because I love Swype. So, the question for me is which protector is the slickest?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

it doesn't cover the entire screen.
scrn protector
it covers the entire viewable screen, it does not cover part of the black area which is not important and accounts for less than 3/4 of a square inch.
i guess it's a matter if preference, i do not see this as a deal breaker, as it does what it is intended to do and its inexpensive and matte - good for me - maybe u will find one more to your tastes
I picked up the Vikuiti DQC-160 for a TMOUS HD2 and I can confirm it fits perfectly, despite being manufactured for the Euro version. From what I understand the TMOUS version is about one millimeter taller, but it must be in the bezel and not the screen.
Applying the protector was effortless, has no orange peel effect, and essentially feels like I'm touching glass. I'm very happy with it thus far.

Review: Martin Field's Screen Protector (Best I've Ever Used!)

I purchased this based on some feedback I had read one some other forums. I have tried nearly every major screen protector out there (Spigen, RearthUSA, Incipio, PowerSupportUSA, Switcheasy, BodyGuardz, XO Skins, Best Skins Ever, a ton of cheap ones off Amazon, Zagg, etc.). Up until this point, I had always found the Ultra Crystal from Spigen to be the best overall. Not anymore.
Before I get started I want to mention that the Martin Fields Screen protectors are not cheap. One screen protector for the Nexus 7 is $29.99 ($34.99 for one iPad protector and $16.99 for one Galaxy Nexus protector)and it only comes with one screen protector and a set of instructions. That's it. I will say that the packaging is very environmentally friendly for those that care (makes no difference to me).
One issue I've always found to be a huge problem with these dry, crystal clear screen protectors (Again, think Spigen Ultra Crystal) is that they show fingerprints so easily that it really can become a huge nuisance and to my surprise this one doesn't show much at all. I would say it's nearly as good at resisting fingerprints as a matte finish screen protector.
A very innovative feature this screen protector offers is that it is completely removable. They include a Mylar sheet that you can stick it to if you need to take it off. Just apply a small piece of scotch tape at the bottom corner and slowly pull to remove it. This does bring up the biggest problem that I have with this protector though. It is somewhat brittle. It will crease if you aren't careful with it.
Turn on a steamy shower and install. Be patient as these things are a perfect fit and will require some patience to install.
Quick Summary:
PROS:
As clear as any I've ever used
Does not pick up oils like most clear, dry application screen protectors generally do
Feels as close to glass as anything I've ever used
Reusable
Covers entire screen
Comes with a Camera Lens cover as well
CONS:
Not cheap. If you purchase directly from MartinFields.com it is $16.99 + $4.99 shipping. Be aware of fakes on Amazon.
Doesn't come with much. Just a simple paper package, a screen protector and a Mylar sheet to apply it to if you decide to take it off and use it later.
Fragile, it will crease if you aren't careful

Hahahaha! That is hilarious. They do show fingerprints like a lot of dry application protectors but they don't have that blue smear effect ou get (Ultra Crystal).
So I purchased one of these and installed it this afternoon. All is well except three of the corners have a bubble and appear slightly lifted. The protector appears to be installed properly and no amount of rubbing with a credit card or fingers can get these edges to stick. Fwiw, I tried a reinstallation and have not touched the adhesive side.

How easy to install screen protector like this on Nexus 7?
I have concern for dust particles, bubbles and imperfection because 7" is not quite small.
And how is it with the touch, swiping, etc. still good?
If you can make some photos showing from corner to corner, that would be awesome.
Thanks for your review btw, I am considering to use this MF screen protector + some kind of back-case ala Incipio Feather for phones
I have installed probably 10 different protectors on devices of various shapes and sizes, and I find that with patience, the bigger the device, the easier it is to get the protector aligned properly. But it does take patience as you can spend 15-30 minutes just fishing dust out with scotch tape without getting fingerprints on the back side of the protector to get a perfect, bubble free adhesion.
I gave up on running a hot shower while doing it as it just makes the dust harder to find if it gets on the screen anyways, and for me it always seems to.

Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Fits the Urbane perfectly, easy to put on, only $10. It's nothing super special but it does the trick (It is made for the LG Watch R but it fits the Urbane).
I don't like screen protectors very much but my buddy sent me a pic of his Sony Watch 3 which would have been scratched/gouged beyond repair had it not been for some crappy protector he put on it.
I'm pretty rough on watches and figured I better get this before I fcuk it up

Have you had it on for a little while now? How is it holding up? Is it exactly the size of the Urbane screen or does it leave a lip? Fingerprint magnet?
Thanks!
It's held up well and has done it's job. I hit the face of my watch on a table corner which cracked the glass protector but did no damage to screen.
I had to order a new protector so I decided to get the flimsy rubery one just to try something different. I had it on my watch for about a week and then reordered a glass protector. The ruber one really got in the way of the touch sensitivity and took away the nice feel of solid glass.
I ordered a second glass protector which I managed to crack while installing it toy watch. This was my fault. I wanted to get it lined up perfectly so I added, removed, pushed, etc the glass screen protector a lot which eventually cracked it. Again this was my fault. Ordered a third glass protector and installed it without issue. Still have it on now.
Only complaint is that the edges haven't stayed perfectly flush with the bezel of the watch. This is very hard to notice doesn't effect the usability. I've ecided to live with this slight imperfection mainly because I do not want to get another protector if I break it
I will totally buy again if I needed to.

Pics please!
I would like to see how noticeable the screen protector is and also how big the gap between the glass and bezel is.
Thanks in advance.
Here you go
Those are some pretty deep gouges on the bottom of the case, have you found a product to take those out? I have some minor ones on mine now.
I'm pretty sure what you're seeing are partial fingerprints. Looking at watch now and dont have any gouges.
I got one from Montong on amazon, fits my Urbane perfectly.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ne tempered&qid=1447700538&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2
I bought this screen protector and it's not quite large enough. I was wondering if that's pretty much how they all are, or if someone could recommend one that fits better. It's also not that great with the fingerprints. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks
Has anyone found ones that are slightly larger? Are they a bit smaller so that they can be removed, if need be?
How are they with fingerprints? And, how come it doesn't appear to be a perfect circle - there seems to be one spot where there is a little corner/protrusion. Are they easy to install centered well?
Does anyone have the "Skinomi TechSkin™" screen protector? How does it fair versus a glass screen protector?
So, I just got a brand new LG Watch Urbane. I am about to open the box, attach a nice metal band to it, and I don't know whether or not I should install a glass screen protector I bought for it.
What is the glass on the LG Watch Urbane made from? Is it Corning Gorilla Glass?
I baby my devices and I am very careful with them. All of my phones and tablets have screen protectors and heavy duty cases. I am not clumsy at all, but I like to be preventative for any potential mishaps that could arise.
My dilemma is that I don't know whether or not I should put a glass screen protector on my watch because it will certainly change the look of it and I'm not sure placing the screen protector on it is actually going to protect it much more than it is already protected on its own.
Please tell me your thoughts. Thank you.

Back from the dead!
I've banged mine into various pieces of metal while working on cars, and drug a piece of sheetmetal (a roof ridge vent) across my Urbane - which saved my arm from what I imagine would've been an uncomfortable experience. The bezel has a few little scratches, but the screen has none. If you're actually reasonably careful with things (like, have never broken a watch face before), then I'd leave the protector off, as you'll just end up with an ugly sticky edge on a protector (which is probably weaker than the screen glass itself) for no particularly good reason.
I bought an IQShield clear full body skin from Amazon. I'm wondering if I would be better off installing the clear skin to everything but the screen, and getting a glass screen protector. The skin/protector is "self-healing" plastic-stuff. Looking at the install videos, I have to spray stuff on it, and then let it cure overnight. I think it's a little overkill. I don't know. I see a bunch on amazon with lifetime warranties.

[Review] MIME Ghost Glass (Tempered glass screen protector)

Hi guys. Just thought I'd post this quick review of the Ghost glass from MIME USA which I received last night.
Code:
Disclaimer: I am in no way endorsed by, or work for MIME USA.
I have however, bought a Ghost glass from them previously, for my S4.
I am in no way responsible for any physical, psychological,
emotional or mental damage caused by my honest opinions.
The glass protector can be bought here.
I bought it last Friday, it arrived on Tuesday, even though estimate was 7-12 business days. Not bad.
The protector came well packaged as usual.

I used the famous hinge method to apply the glass protector. Pretty much went ok. Just took a big of patience to get it aligned correctly. And even then, I think the alignment went a little bit off in the end. Trying to control my OCD now.
Here's what the phone looks like after application of the protector:
As you can see, to some it may look a bit odd as the design was made not to cover any of the sensors or the speaker grill.
It also doesn't cover the whole glass from edge to edge. There's a slight gap. IT does cover the whole touch screen area though.
I also had a couple of small air bubbles, but they have mostly disappeared throughout the day. Only one annoying one is left on the bottom right of the phone, but thankfully not on the screen itself.
Any question, please feel free to ask.
Hope that helped.
That's def different than what's shown in their picture. I have one on my OnePlus and it's nice, but I have a crack in the corner... How it got there, I have no idea since it's in a TPU case all the time and I haven't dropped it. Overall, a nice piece of glass, but I wish the cut out on top was just two cuts. One for camera, one for speaker and sensor. I'm a little iffy on those that just chop off a portion of the top. It still leaves the screen exposed.

Indeed. Incredibly misleading. Will buy a cheap ebay one instead (have a Mime on my S4 and really like it but the look of this G4 protector is ).
I have been a huge fan of Mime for years. Had them on my Nexus 5 and my Lg G3. by far the best screen protectors for those phones with just a cutout for the speaker and they worked just fine. all of the sensors. I emailed them about their version for the LG G4 and i see it had a bunch of cutouts and i am very disappointed in the design this time around. They seem to now be doing cutouts on all their new designs

Indeed. I think I remember some discussions on other forums where they were complaining that the glass was covering some sensors and causing issues. Which is probably why they changed the design so drastically. I'll probably keep it on for a bit to see if that pesky air bubble goes, but then I'll probably end up getting rid of it. Perhaps an Orzly?

Thats the one I have on mine but I paid $10.90 everything dropped in price the week of release last week it was higher but thats ok. I always did like Mime protectors but seeing this one with those cut out look like trash. Will see how this one holds up over time. What I liked about the Skinomi is that its edge to edge and I have a Otterbox Defender on the phone minus the Defenders Plastic screen protector and with the Skinomi on it all glass with the MIME you will see those ugly cutouts.
Anyone with this screen protector noticing issues recognizing taps?
yeah i feel like my when i try and type its not picking up the taps i was thinking maybe cause of the curve of the screen the protector is not sitting completely on the screen which is why it might be missing taps
I only have issues in direct sunlight. The taps seem harder to register. Besides that it seems normal to me.
