Have anyone installed one of those UV screen protector? I see a lot of YouTube videos and AliExpress offers, but I don't know if it will work...
I know that anything is better than nothing, but anyways...
If you plan to install one of these, get a good quality one, not a cheap one, and be very, very careful not to clog the earpiece

It could die. But seriously... screen protectors? Why bother wasting your money? To be honest, you might need it if you have say keys in your pocket, but who's stupid enough? I don't know but screen protectors are a waste of time and money.

To be fair, I use screen protectors. Just to be on the safe side, and they are non-obtrusive. And a waste of money? I have to disagree with that. I got 6 screen protectors off eBay for 99p UK seller- UV protection, anti-grease, anti-dust, anti-scratch. They last for about 3 months.
I think if you want to be safe, get a screen protector. They might protect your screen from damage one day, and for pennies its a worthy investment.
I disagree with Screen Protectors being a waste of money. My phone was in mint condition until I bent over and my phone slipped out my pocket.
It landed face down, on stones. I now have a scratch going right across my screen.
You get really cheap ones. But don't waste your time with those. You won't be able to see very well through them.
Go with Martin Fields protectors. Way more expensive, but worth it. I have one now.
I've used a Martin Fields one since day they were released and, combined with my HTC pull cord case, I've not got a mark on my handset. Small outlay for piece of mind IMO
I got some of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/FoneM8-Desi...UKGK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305831209&sr=8-1
Crystal clear, cheap as chips and doesn't interfere with the phone in any way.

exactly the same as me since i bought my desire. perfect combination and my desire still looks like new.
I'm using Martin Fields atm. I like the fact that it comes with camera protector as well. On the other hand I find it more "scratchable" than Brando Crystal Clear I've been using before. After a year it's so scratched I gotta change it. I'll try either 3M Vikuti or Writeshield Crystal now - these are are said to be among the best.
I do recommend to buy a good screen protector and apply it properly - this is a really good guide:

You'll never notice it's there, it'll serve you a long time, you won't have to bother with several ****ty cheapos that require frequent changes and worsen the overall user experience (worse screen clarity, bubbles, don't fit to screen properly, don't stick on the edges, unpleasant in touch etc.).
This is my take on screen protectors.
I've been using a Zagg protector for the last 6 months. Excellent protection but find the screen isnt 100% responsive or smooth.
Tempted to try another but worried that it wont go on and fit as well as the zagg...
Has anyone experience with the original HTC-Ones (HTC SP P360)?

I have purchased an HTC Desire from Electronics a week ago. Their services were great and shipment response time was awesome. I am a frequent user of any cell phone. This is the reason why I need a new screen protector. I have also purchased an Iphone 4g unlocked from Electronics, but their protector is the best. HTC guys are bad in giving bad quality protectors and we have to buy protectors once each month. I just want to ask you guys one thing that what will happen to the mobile phone if rain water goes inside?

Did everyone miss this? Maybe it's just me, but this looks just like SPAM. Either way, there are a ton of screen protector threads already, right? I went ahead and reported it.

I had a Zagg and hated it. It distorted my screen and was not smooth to touch and drag on. I have the Vikuiti (3M) one mentioned in the "perfect application of a screen protector" thread and I couldn't be happier. I've had it on for more than a month. If I didn't know better I wouldn't even know it was there. It's VERY smooth and crystal clear so it doesn't interfere with the screen at all.
I just ordered a Brando anti glare one from there site, after watching some video's of it on youtube it looks very good.
did you guys are so poor??

use them half of year. Did you think its a wasting of money for you 250eur phone?
It's only 2USD here in the Philippines. [
I'm looking for those case/body protectors that look like screen protectors, where can I find one online for cheap?
Thanks!
I think this is what your looking for. http://goo.gl/3bHqs ($4.90) or http://goo.gl/HKNbh ($8.99)
I have used both brands and i have also used zagg.I can tell you myself that i cant find any difference between the 3. I recommend you just get the cheapest one. the're all made of the same material so whats the point of paying more.
edit: heres a video of the $4.90 one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kpnf9IrqYs (not my video)
Hey guys! I bought HTC sensation last week in India..I just wanted to know about two things :
1) I'm not able to identify whether my phone is already provided with screen guard out of the box? I bought one and it is not sticking on the edges
2) I'm used to canalphones and not earphones provided with the phone..can someone please suggest some good canalphones which go deep inside ears, and should be of mid range..
Thanx a lot in advance!
1) i had the same problem, and found a solution, follow these steps, (it worked for me to)click here
2) for earphones: i agree with u , but back than I wanted them wireless, perhaps also recommended for you
Definitely put a screen protector on your gorilla glass screen IT IS NOT as SCRATCH proof as claimed. - sand, keys and other sharp objects CAN scratch that smooth surface.
also you cant go wrong with other aftermarket -canal earphones out there
try checking out sennheiser's or go BEATS! cheers!
Earphones
Any particular brand which has good bass...If anybody is using one out here..please mention..
Also I checked the link for screen guard..Will order within a day or two after little bit of more searching..
The screen protector is not sticking properly because the Sensation's screen is curved up on the edge. Follow the hairdry technique on another thread or use a wet application screen protector like Zagg, Xtreme Guard etc.
If you need a headset with mic, the a-jays one+ is compatible with android. There's also the Incipio Capsule In ear headphones, which was made for iPhone, but you can easily configure what the buttons do on android by using a third party app. They're cheaper than the a-jays. If you don't need a mic, I've had the Soundmagic PL30 for 2 years now. They're cheap and sound great! You can get all of these from eBay.
I would like to get a case/rotating stand for my GNote10.1. ( I will be buying from NewEgg. )
Looking at cases I discovered that a lot come in packages with screen protectors. An example is. ( This one is not the particular one I am interested in. It was just the first in my search. ) I thought if the protectors were any good I would get one.
So a few questions about screen protectors.
The most major question ( Aside from whether it's better to get a protector or go commando. ) is: do you get what you pay for? I've seen some protectors $1-$3, others 3 for $5.00-$10 some around $20. One I've seen 2 for $58. Are the cheaper screen protectors ( which are usually what comes with the bundle ) not as good as the more expensive ones? We all know that expensive is not the same as high quality. ( Under my breath: Apple. )
The second question is can putting these on/using them damage your screen? Is there some tacky substance that might be hard to get off? Is long time use likely to make them hard to get off?
Third question how do they affect sensitivity? Finger use? Spen use?
Also a quick question about the case. I've seen some cases described as being for the N8000 will these be any problem with the N8013?
do you get what you pay for?
- not really. some are more scratch resistant than the other. but a a $3-5 protector will still last you a year probably. then just get a new one. no need to invest in high end ones. there are some with the whole 'spy proofing' which unless you are looking straight at the screen you cant see anything. cool, but pointless also.
The second question is can putting these on/using them damage your screen? Is there some tacky substance that might be hard to get off? Is long time use likely to make them hard to get off?
-no, my old phones used to have screen protectors for a year or so, peels off very easily once you get a corner up. no residue, just peel it off and wipe with cloth and you are ready for the next sheet.
Third question how do they affect sensitivity? Finger use? Spen use?
-no problem. im using a matte screen protector now. no sensitivity problems noticed. but an affect on brightness.
Also a quick question about the case. I've seen some cases described as being for the N8000 will these be any problem with the N8013?
dont think there is any problem. but youll have to google the dimensions to be sure.
Had many tabs and never seen the need. Like using a condom.

Don't bother with a screen protector on my tablet. It doesn't get into the same dark places which my phone does.

Now I'm just curious about how, where and what you use your phone for....:laugh:
he's batman...
but im just curious why a screen protector and going into dark places are related...
I bought a fairly inexpensive screen protector and have loved it. Bummed I cannot remember what kind it was in case i ever need to replace it. No issues. I have the Samsung case, so my worry was something getting between the case and the screen and scratching due to back and forth movement of flap.

I got this A8-50 (AH5500-H) for my Mum and managed to find a nice case for it but can't find any decent affordable screen protectors for it. It's the model with two speakers, one at each end and some of the protectors only seem to have a cutout for one speaker. I generally prefer matte ones to help reduce glare a bit but they're not that easy to find for this device.
I've bought some cheap ones for other devices before but they've been nasty, with horrible friction on the fingers when trying to use the device and not applying very easily or well, so I don't want to waste money trying to get lucky. I was hoping to find something decent for around £4 or £8 for two.
I really want a pack of at least two, in case I mess up applying the first one or just as a spare for future. This one's cheap enough to buy two but I've not come across kwmobile before, so they might not be any better than the e-bay ones.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/kwmobile®-p...mputers_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0VMV0GGT0ZJPEZZH1A14
This on the other hand is quite expensive at £11.69 for two but I think I at least recognise the brand, although there's only one review so not enough information to know if they're actually any good
http://www.amazon.co.uk/atFoliX-Scr...sr=8-8&keywords=lenovo+a8-50+screen+protector
Xtremeguard I think are OK and this seems like a good price for three but coming from the US I'll have no recourse if it turns out to be rubbish as it will cost more to send it back than it's worth. It also says they have a "slightly grippy feel" which sounds like the nasty ones I've used before on other devices.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-Pack-Cl...937?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5b06b98ad9
The fact that they're selling this single one for more than that pack of 3 above, makes me concerned that the latter might not be very good and anyway, this has to be applied with water, which I don't fancy either.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-X...952?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5b06b97f30
I was thinking maybe I could just get any 8" protector and cut it down on either side so that it stops short of the speakers and just covers the actual screen area but I don't want to have to trim the other two sides as well if they're just a little bit too big, as it's fiddly enough using a Stanley knife or scalpel to cut large bits off, let alone taking small strips off.
So can anyone suggest something suitable and decent as I've had this tablet for a while now but don't want to give it to my Mum until the screen's properly protected as she's not the most careful person with her devices!
I'm still struggling to find something suitable, if anyone can help.
I think I should get a tempered glass protector now but it's no easier to find those than the other kind for this device.
I found this one on e-bay but it's not clear if it has the cutouts at both ends for the speakers
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Premium-0...Domain_0&var=500464524966&hash=item2eda657ac9
This one does have the cutouts but doesn't appear to be come with alcoholic wipe or dust removal stickers to use before fitting it

(This looks to be the same thing: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1ATVJM7R78CKU)
Neither seller has replied to messages asking them about the products and if possible, I'd rather get something from the UK to avoid having to wait weeks for delivery, as I really want to give this tablet to my Mum ASAP.
