Which screenprotector?

Hi all!

Could anyone advise me which screenprotector to get? What are the differences?

Thanks!
Annette.

Re: Which screenprotector?

I use PPCTechs WriteShield.

It is clearer (not cloudy) than cheap brands; it can be skin-tight with the screen so that even the smallest piece of dust between it and the screen shows up (they instruct you how to remove it with tape); it comes with a professional installation kit with instructions; it does not separate off or fade; and a single protector can last for months, depending on usage.

They do not have the XDA Flame listed, but the XDA Flame's screen dimensions are within .1" of the XDA Exec's, so I bought the XDA Exec screen protector.

Prior to the Flame, I used PPCTechs screen protectors for Blue Angel for two years with success. One of them lasted over a year.

The alternative screen protectors:

  • Will not precisely fit your device
  • Are cloudy
  • Are noticably visible on the screen, interfering with images
  • Separate off, trapping dirt and oil underneath
  • Become old rather quickly

    I use Martin Fields, http://www.martinfields.com.

    Its installation guide is rather hard to understand but don't worry as its washable if anything were to go wrong.

    I've use it for my IPAQ h6365 for around 2 years and its still in very good condition.

    Re: Which screenprotector?

    I use a custom built invisibleSHIELD for my Flame. See my thoughts on it here.

    It is, hands down, the best piece of protection I have come across in a long time. It is self-healing (yes, no shitting) and does not change the color perception in any way.

    * Disclosure: When I first ordered an invisibleSHIELD, iS wasnt aware that I would review the product and as such, the service I got was the same anyone would get. During the whole process, the company was very professional and helped me with any questions I had.

    Trinity Packaging includes a screen protector & leather carrying case.

    O2 Flame does not. So you have to crack you head in choosing. big_smile

    Re: Which screenprotector?

    I use the EXIM screen protector.
    I used several before, but this one is the first one for me where the few bubbles definately disappeare when you rub them off.

    Re: Which screenprotector?

    well,
    i have been using EXIM screen protector for long time, its ultra clear bubble-free and you don't hv to be an expert to install it,easy to remove and stylus runs on screen smoothly,it doesn't make you feel that you hv protector on screen and last thing is  it goes for long time compare to many others,others start slightly peeling off from corners and show scratch marks on them after few months use but exam can go for much much longer without showing even marks on it (depends how rough you use your screen)
    so my conclusion after using many others and exam  IS  go for exim smile

    Re: Which screenprotector?

    my vote still goes for the invisibleShield, I've used mine on the Flame, my digi cam and my iPod and I just love it.

    Has anyone tried the anti-glare version?

    I am currently using the InvisibleShield but hate the glare when outdoors or using the Flame as my GPS navigator inside the car. sad

    Re: Which screenprotector?

    I use durasec nanotech screen protector.
    it's liquid so it can't be noticed, and fits perfectly ANY screen.
    it's cheap because you can use it multiple times or on multiple devices (made 3/4screens with one kit)
    it's very effective, non blurry, etc.... perfect wink

    Re: Which screenprotector?

    do all screen protectors stick (with glue) to the LCD in order to protect it?

    Re: Which screenprotector?

    I would like here to announce to all flame users that ZAGG company which produces invisibleshield screen protectors (the best screen protector ever) CURRENTLY added a new listing for XDA flame.

    This means that you will not make CUSTOM ORDER for your flame in their website as done before. the price is comptetive (only 12 USD).



    to go there, follow the link

    Re: Which screenprotector?

    zagg has had the stand-alone page online for some time.  I just ordered a new batch of protectors for my digital camera and Tablet PC, because after nearly 10 months of use, the screen protector on my Flame is still going strong and doing its job very well. The price for the protector is just what you'd expect, though, I would pay more after seeing what it can do.

    If you order from Zagg, mention that you heard it from us, makes Zagg happy smile (no, we dont get paid for that)

    Well I used it for many months on few devices, and it performed better than any other screen protector I used, while you can't even notice it, as if you didn't have any.
