I was just wondering if anyone had got a screen protector yet and if so which ones people recommend?
SE already applied a screennprotector on the screen. Looks closely and you'll notice it, it's almost invisible.
yea no need to get a new one. no point on having two screen protectors.

With most screenprotectors you can easily remove them by pressing with your nail at the edge of the protector (press it parallel tot the screen). I don't think the X10 protector will be any different.
I think zagg has a invisible shield for it.. but zagg is overpriced!
there's already a screen protector on it?? i just picked one up from rogers today.. and all there is was a piece of cheap plastic with air bubbles everywhere
Yes, screen protectors.
This is the best quality/price protector. from 3M, not glue for stick to the screen, anti-static, and washable, can be remove a put back. No buble.

Sorry, the system does not allow me to put a link.

Remove that piece of bubbles and below that piece is an screenprotector already applied to the screen. Look closely at the edges.
I have just got mine yesterday from Rogers as well. I can see the edging you talk about where it seems there is a protector on it, but after several attepmts, I can not get a corner to lift. I am certain that it is not a removable screen protector.

best way to remove screen protectors is to use scotch tape ~ stick it on a corner tighten it by pulling away from the phone and lift ~ try several time and different corners if it doesn't lift. i've done it with thousands of phones as i used to work @ places that applies them ~ works every time

I do not want to remove it. I'm a fan of using screen protectors as having a permanently scratched screen makes me cry. So I want to make sure I do have one and if not, to get one ASAP. So I tried to lift a corner to see if it indeed does have a protector applied. Even after reading these posts and the link that was directed to me I can not remove this alleged protector that's already on my screen.
It's funny, because I have watched some un-boxing videos and some show screen protectors that came in the box with the device. (Rogers does not) I'm curious to as why that would be if there is one already on the device. Is it that it was an "extra" protector or merely one that was expected to be placed on by the user; where as the Rogers version apparently has theirs already installed by the manufacturer?
It's hard to get a definite answer as people post here from many many different countries. Each x10 launch in the countries has been different in some way. Some with the screen protector in box like I mentioned, some with a 8gb sdcard, some with a 16gb, some with a head set AND the mw600 in the box, some with just the ear phones and no mw600...
So I still stand by my own findings, I can not remove this invisible screen protector, using tape, or the other tricks floating around, making me believe that it does not have a "typical" screen protector that is applied on top of the actual screen. A few calls to various local Rogers stores has yielded zero results in confirmation, with all 3 saying , "No, the x10 does not come with a screen protector in the box" when I ask "what about it being already installed" and they scoff saying they have never heard of that.
hmmm.. if that's the case then i think i should buy a screen protector. mines Rogers x10 too.
Zagg screen protector
I bought the Zagg invisi-shield after i saw one on an iphone. Took me a good 45 mins to get it on with out any bubbles. I think its worth the extra cash as you get full body coverage and it improves the grip - so it doesn't feel like its gonna slip out of your hands all the time (a must for me as i habbit of droping things like this).
Also i'm not a fan of silicon covers or leather pouches - whats the point of spending money on a good looking phone like the X10 and then have to cover it up??? Show it off i say!!!

I like my Invisible shield too, no its not so sensitive for fingerprits than the original screen protector.

Not at all, before i had the shield on i was constantly wiping with a lens cloth. If you have mega greasy fingers then you will leave a mark, but with normal every day use i'm not having to wipe off fingerprints.

yes there is, as is a soft protection bag.
there is but...
Yes there is a screen protector in the box but I heard that it is not the top quality... So you better buy a quality type like BRANDO ULTRA CLEAR Protector Plus.
I will by this type when I buy my HD! I used the same brand for my Qtek S200 for over a year and I'm very satisfied with it.

I think the screen protector is not too bad, it is hard plastic not that rubbery stuff. It is certainly nothing like those cheap ones that you find in local shops and it covers the whole face of the phone, not just the screen. The cloth bag cover that comes with it is OK, but it is a bit thick. I found a black silicon cover that is made for the iPhone 3G, I made the hole bigger for the earphone plug and a new hole in the back for the camera. I saw this video of it on YouTube (not my video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUOgFQ8dpzo . It isn't a perfect fit but it's pretty good until the official covers are available.
The hard plastic covers made for the iPhone won't fit the HD
My story: i snobbed the screen protector since i never used any in the last 10 years, and peeled it badly since i thought i would have never used it...but looking better to it, it was not too bad! then, I ordered two original replacement protectors from HTC, installed it VERY carefully....and now they are essentially invisible and you'd need time to realize that the screen protector is actually present....
So, refrain from excitement when you open the box!
I thought I'd read to steer clear of the protector in the box? You guys are saying to go ahead and put it on?

Well, i disagree.
I seem to be able to get the phone in it with minimun effort, seems that it expands after a little use, like new shoes or clothes...
my gf put on the screen protector that came with the phone.. and i guess shes good at it haha cuz we put it on with no bubbles.. no edges up.. no nothing. PERFECT. it looks great. dont even notice it. ive been using the pouch that came with it and i like it. works fine.. squeeze from the bottom to take it out and just hold it slightly firm on the sides to put it in.. pushing down from the 3.5mm jack so you dont accidentally turn on the screen again with the power button.. gets slightly easier after a bit .. dont be scared =P
Is the screen protector in the box the same as the ones sold on htcaccessorystore.com (and other places like expansys) :
HTC Touch HD Screen Protector SP P200 (2 Pieces) ??
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=173045
I managed to put on the original screen protector with little hassle but hate the quality. Hope martins ship their fast.
is there a need for screen protector at all. I mean can I damage thescreen with stylus or my fingers?
YES! and a good quality piece!
I had accidentally hit my kaiser screen with seat belt metal piece, thinking screen is damaged. Therefore, not willing to remove the film to face the reality. Only yesterday, after confirming my blackstone is configured and running well, I removed my Kaiser screen protector. The screen is good as new. The dent on the film is "high"! Thanks to the martin shield.

hell yeah screen protectors are necessary!
the screen will mark over time with stylus use and of course anything that "accidentally" hits it that is hard will cause marks, and no matter how careful you are, accidents happen
ive got the packaged screen protector on and its not too bad but i have a martin fields one ready to go on instead once the htc one starts to wear
I tried multiple times to apply the protector and was always off by a hair by the time got to the bottom. When I finally got it on straight there was enough dust on under it that I got disgusted and peeled it off again. I didn't give up though and ordered the OEM screen protectors again (two to a pack) and this is how I finally installed it properly:
1. Wash your hands.
2. Wipe the phone screen clean of any dust and fingerprints.
2. Find as dust free an environment that you have.
3. Peel the top edge of the protector only then line up this up with the top of the phone.
4. Slowly apply to the protector to the phone while allowing the backing to peel off. Make sure you don't allow it to totally come off.
5. You will soon know if it's going to lay flat in the slightly recessed area of the phone screen. The protector is exactly the same size as the recessed area and there is no room for error.
6. If not, peel the protector off again while allowing the backing to reseat on the protector but not all the way to the top.
7. Reposition the top edge very slightly and repeat. It will probably take several tries to get it right. It took me about 6 times but it looks very good when done.
The replacement protectors are easier to apply because the backing is the same size as the protector so it's easier to align with the phone.
If you're careful to not touch the adhesive side of the protector and are lucky enough not to have any dust settle on it, the final result is indistinguishable from the unprotected phone surface.
I'm very curious. Does anybody know why HTC doesn't supply the machine with the screen protector already installed?

I have an interim solution - purchase a larger screen protector and cut it down to size. Since this is more of a temp solution until someone releases one specifically for our device, I'd suggest keeping it cheap -- I used this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370450107891&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
It works fine but you really need a dust-free environment to install - every single spec of dust will cause a small bubble, unfortunately. Again, I would consider this a temporary solution to keep the device scratch-free until a better solution is found.
I think I can manage with the 1 that came on there until a real 1 comes out, I would think accessories are going are going to be released soon for the g tablet. hopefully

Bubble Elimination
Out of the box, mine had a terrible bubble problem and I used scotch tape and a credit card to remove the really bothersome bubbles in the middle of the screen. However, is it just me or is the protector a little big? I can't remove two long running bubbles on two of the edges of the unit.

yea i just removed the first layer, the second layer also had the bubble though. however i did what you did with scotch tape and my drivers license, but it is still no where near as perfect as i would like...especially around the edges. when i was in sears about to buy the g tablet i was asking a few questions about it. i asked if there had been many returns and if so for what reasons. this is true, the sales associate said that one guy returned it because it had a giant bubble in the middle of the screen......and they accepted the return. they actually didn't know that it was just a piece of plastic.

When I fist got mine, I had two giant bubbles and for about 10 minutes I thought it was an LCD defect. When was the last time you bought an electronic device and it actually came with a screen protector?
As others mentioned, I lifted it off with a piece of tape and that was that. In retrospect, I should have just squeegeed the bubbles out.

never with a screen protector, just the plastic that comes on it when its brand new. thats all i see these 2 layers as, i assumed the manufacturer intended on the consumer peeling them off if they are shipping most of them with big bubbles on the screen. i just couldn't believe that the guy returned it without examining it first, but what was more surprising was that sears examined it at the store and determined that it was defective. right at first for a second i was like wtf is up with this bubble but i quickly began trying to peel at the edges.
I assume it would be hopeless to try and put it back on, right? Mine looks like it is too dirty to reapply.

I'm not going to use one, anymore - now that I have a (messy but usable) case, I don't think its necessary. There really is a difference in screen brightness and color with the screen protector I was using.
The only issues is that the bare screen is a fingerprint magnet - will need to carry a cleaning cloth around.

The fingerprints are really something...after a few hours of browsing the forums, the tablet screen looks like some sort of kindergarten finger painting. I will say that the screen works better once you have a nice layer of grease on it!
I bought a box of Zeiss Lens cleaning wipes from SAMS CLUB. 200 little foil packs for less than $10. I keep a handful of them in the case with the gtablet.
Imho I think the grab could benefit from an antiglare screen protector. I've had one on my last 3 phones and it makes them much easier on my eyes as well as makes using the touchscreen easier. I found that with the bare glass or with a invisishield my finger would "catch" when trying to slide it across the screen, the matte texture to the antiglare protector prevents this and keeps it from looking terrible with fingerprints.

I bet if you washed it down with some soap and water it could be reapplied. I just took mine off and it seems an awful lot like the "Reusable, washable" kind I got off of ebay a while ago for an retired phone.
I made a custom case/stand out of cardboard that I am going to publish the instructions and template for when I get back from holiday travels. You could cover it with whatever material or fabric of your choice. With this I don't imagine needing a screen protector.
My tab came with a green cleaning cloth, but no screen protector like others. Hmmmm....all well, guess I will wait till real ones come out.
I found them at NuShield for $25. Look under nushield.com on the specials.php page (I guess noobs are not allowed to post links)

Hi guys, I'm new to Android OS and to Samsung phones, so welcome me! I came from using BlackBerry for years. Never tried iOS, nor owned an iPhone, so I hope I made the right choice.
So there's a scratch already on my phone. I can't tell whether it's on the screen protector or the screen itself... I'm debating whether I should peel the protector off and take a look (obviously losing it in the process).
How do I tell? I'm very obsessed about my new Note, so it's hard for me to not notice.
The screen protector was put on since day 1. The CSR from Future Shop (Best Buy owned in Canada), put it on for me and I sure hope he didn't scratch the screen while applying the cleaning solution, wiping it, etc. before putting on the screen protector (I was watching him do it)... The screen on the Note doesn't scratch easily does it?
im sure its only on the screen protector but that would make me weary of how well it protects. I replaced my screen protector and switched to a sgp protector cause on my original protector the s-pen scratched it....since I switched to sgp I have used the crap out of the s-pen and it hasnt scratched these yet

Thanks for fast reply. What is this SGP protector? I'm going to look into that.
It's a good thing I didn't pay for this ZAGG protector... It was $19.99 lol, they gave it to for free so I'm not so upset about it (as long as it isn't on the ACTUAL screen). I can actually register the product and ask for a replacement (since it's lifetime guarantee), but will cost me $3.99 for shipping.

That's what I've been wondering myself... I'm not sure where the scratch came from because I barely used the S-pen, and the scratch is half an inch long (noticed it on white background).
Anyway, that's what made me to believe that the scratch could be on the screen itself since there is also a little dust particle that I can see under.
Over time, my Zagg looked like it had many scratches and I could not discern whether it was on the screen or Zagg. Eventually, I removed it out of annoyance with the orange peel and tackiness. The Zagg did it's job. I liked other wet protectors more because they felt more like glass and didn't have the orange peel. I'm using a dry SGP now, it's very nice. I'd recommend the SGP over the Zagg any day of the week.

This is another gripe I have about my screen protector... The orange peel feeling and the fact that the S-Pen is HORRIBLE with it. Anyway, I don't use the pen much so it's fine.
I do like it since it hides fingerprints well. I guess I do have to try SGP.. Wet and dry protectors? I'm assuming dry is just the usual adhesive style, while wet is the ZAGG where you have to use the liquid solution?
Here is what my SGP looks like and I have used the s pen alot

Another thing... the Zagg protector doesn't cover the top right side of the phone as well.
While I did not choose a zagg to put on my gnote, I have used them in the past and they can take some serious abuse! Unless you really smacked, it I doubt the scratch went through.
I went with a sgp since it is clearer and for the s-pen. I wanted the s-pen to have as close to a stock screen as possible and the sgp does that very well.

My concern is if the scratch got onto the screen before the protector is on. Anyway, I'm probably just overreacting. I couldn't remember how the scratch got onto the screen protector, so I was thinking it was under it

I've used Invisibleshield (Zagg nowadays) protectors for years now on 5 or 6 different devices. Never managed to scratch it. If you scratched the protector, you'd know it. It would have either had to have been something as sharp as a knife, or have taken a pretty good hit.
But, if you see dirt or dust behind it, then the install area wasn't very clean. So, is it possible that the "scratch" you are seeing could be some debris between the protector and the screen (like maybe a hair)?

If it was hair, wouldn't it just show a black line? The "scratch" is distorting the color (more pronounced in white background).

Hey, hope you read this and share if you eventually found out if the scratch was on the protector or underneath after several months.
I have the same exact problem as you, I am seeing some scratch color distortion in white background. Hopefully the scratch is on the protector, not the screen. Problem is I have no way to know since I didn't install the protector myself, unless of course I remove it which I don't want to do right now.
You can always replace it through zagg.com for only the cost of shipping the old one back and the new one to you. To the USA is 3.99 I believe.

I am not happy with my new Xperia S or Sony's attitude. I only had the phone a week and the screen has many fine scratches. I am extremely careful with my phones - my original Desire's screen is unmatied. With the Sony statement forth Xperia being scratch resistant I felt I was on safe ground - after all I'd come back to Sony to rediscover the quality I yearned and always had on previous Sony phones since my Z1 back in '96.
I've treated my Xperia the same as those before it - the most extreme condition being loose in my inner suit pocket with my work BlackBerry. And this is exactly what has covered it in scratches - the pitch of the scratches matching that of the cheap plastic keys on the BlackBerry.
And to insult me properly I get the below response from Sony, as if they are sniggering from around the corner.
"Thank you for contacting the Sony Xperia support centre.
We can confirm the handset is scratch resistant, however not scratch proof, it is still possible to scratch the screen of the handset, we apologize for any confusion caused by this."
I though this was Sony trying to get back on a level with the top guys... With gorilla glass everywhere else many (me included) assumed Sony's claim of scratch resistant meant some proprietary equivalent.
One Sony Xperia S for sale. ....... Only loads of minor scratches...
You aren't aware that your Xperia S came screen protector preinstalled? Glass underneath is scratch proof mineral glass.
Mate i believe you scratched the protective screen protector, as it is really easy to get scratched, even with a fingernail you will be able to scratch the screen protector ( minimal scratch ofc )
Remove the screen protector and your scratches will be gone
watch from minute 2:40:
is it really the screen or the screen protector?
The preinstalled plastic is not a screen protector, but for keeping the glass together if the screen cracks so the glass is not going everywhere in the air.
I would say as the ppl above, this is scratched, not the screen
Dont worry. U can take it off and use the actually screen protector that came in the box!

The screen gets scratched very hard!
I think that most of people out there didn't notice the screen protector, which is easily get scratched btw!
Using mine for a week with the factory protector installed. Not a single mark on it!

Believe it or not.
2 weeks ago i was getting the screenprotection off..
It just wont go off.. No it just wont..
Damn that thing was stuck on the screen..
Got a screwdriver in to it.. Putting it in with power etc..
I thought by my self.. Screen is now f8cked..
Finally i got it out.. Cleaned with a glass cleaner...
Nothing?
Still no scratches.
I've had mine about 5 weeks and the pre-installed shatterproof sheet is showing a few scratches. Just ordered a screen protector from PDair.

Thanks all for the info. I'd seen talk of removing the protector, but had assumed this was the additional plastic sheet that was in the box and that maybe in some places this is already stuck on.
It is very odd that when I contacted Sony they did not point this out or suggest replacing it.
I assume if I search around the forum will I find plenty of good advice on replacement screen protectors? ie one that don't scratch when you sneeze on them!
Any advices on removing preinstalled screen protector? It'll drive me mad!
EDIT: Did it!! A Very sharp knife and a fair share of pressure did the trick!

Try a brando ultra clear or martin fields screenprotector. Both are high quality and much better scratch resistant. Both brands have protectors for the xps that can be ordered online.

If you dont want to see any scratch in your screen, I'd recommend you to search for a 'Matte' screen protector, which I've chosen to be from Steinheil for my past phones: They -are- the best ones offered. A bit expensive though...
They seem a bit blurrier than the crystal clear ones, but I guarantee the 'soft touch feeling', no more oily screens and no scratches makes up to that.
Specially because we have a bright screen with sharp colours so there'll be no problem I guess.
Wait, so there's actually a screen protector on the phone from the factory?
Can I remove it? Any benefits to removing it?
I can barely see it on the glass, almost missed this.

Yes there is.
Look closely to the corner of the screen.
Yes you can take it out.

Even gorilla glass can be scratched with keys or against another hard object like another phone, every phone to date is susceptible even your Desire which doesn't come any protection against ware and tare.
It's toughened glass not steel, Sony is exactly right with the screen being scratch resistant, not scratch proof just like any other mobile maker will tell you and just like all other mobiles/tablets currently in circulation.
Seriously don't put your brand new mobile in with your keys, coins, junk etc, wait a few months at least like I do lol.
Completely agree with ErichSan, I hate the oily/smudgey feeling screen protectors also.

He's peeling of the plastic that is there to keep the glass together if it breaks. The preinstalled plastic filter does NOT protect against scratches (it may work a little bit against scratches). If u really want one who protects, the phone came with a screen protector in the box.

Well according to Sony it's a bit different as you suggest here, I asked the
question directly on the Sony forum see the reply I got:

Ordered a Martin screen thingy. I'll let you know how it goes.
thanks,

Curious to know how many people will be putting those wet rubbery protectors on there device. I ordered three different brands but now that I think about it, do I really want to have to deal with that mess? Yes, you risk damaging your screen or scratching it but you have to change that rubbery stuff every few months. I had them on iphones and blackberries and after a few months they would get really nasty. I do have a Spigen tough case on it. The regular non rubbery screen protectors only cover the screen before the curve.
Just was curious to know what everyone was going to do. They won't arrive till later in the week, since Amazon misqouted arrival dates, so I am still mulling over it.
I've always put screen protectors on all the phones I've had before I let them out in the wild, but never those wet ones! My phone should be arriving sometime in the next few days and I already have several no-brand screen protectors (regular PET type which only cover the centre of the screen so I'll see how those go), and two Spigen cases (thin-fit smooth black and Ultra Hybrid clear). May end up opting for a tempered glass screen protector once some reviews come out. I have a tempered one on my G2, but it seriously limits the type of case I can use due to the bezels being almost non-existent so I'll wait for now.

As far as I know, there aren't any tempered glass screen protectors for the S6 edge that will cover the entire screen. They haven't figured out a way to create one yet and if they do, I think a lot of people were saying cost would be an issue, for instance someone was stating prices like $50, $75, or $100. I might put one of those center ones on but it would really be pointless if it doesn't protect the entire screen.

Like anything, if there is a demand for a product then prices will come down but you're right, initially tempered glass screen protectors could, and most likely will be expensive at first. I know there are PET screen protectors that curve around the screen, which I may try but I'd have to order them from overseas, and I'll need something to get me going. I'm always really careful with my phones and have never dropped, broken or scratched one, but it would be just my luck if I decided to let this one go naked. Right now I'm just hoping that my phone doesn't come scratched out of the box like others have experienced!
I hate non tempered glass screen protectors. Why have a beautiful screen and screw it up with a that? However, love the tempered glass ones but I seriously doubt there will be one for the edge. Ha ha.
Usually I'm only a tempered glass user but with this Edge I'll have to settle with a regular one. I bought the Invisible Shield Dry HD and I love it. It has gotten better over the years and the orange peel effect is all but gone. It's bubble free and barely noticible.

Att.com had them when I ordered the phone.
Out of stock but here is what you may be looking for.

I figured if ATT had them on the website then they must have them in the store so I ordered them online and picked them up in the store.
I never liked invisi shield because of this (see photos), these bubbles. Will these eventually resolve? I followed the instructions to the letter.

Not without reviews where the person actually wrote out what they thought about it, no matter how cheap it is.
Yes, I always use a screen protector. I hate bubbles though so I have to get it perfect before im happy.
I ordered a screen protector for the Edge that covers both edges for full protection. Mine is made by a company called Araree, a South Korean company.
It is shipping from Korea so I should get mine next week.

Bestbuy has them. just had one put on the other day.
Never used the wet ones but the mess doesn't sound appealing. I always get dry ones for my phone because I'd rather the cover get scratched than the screen itself. I've got a matte one that covers the edges coming from Amazon sometime this week. I'm trying matte for the first time because I like the idea of glare reduction.
I have a Zagg InvisibleShield HDX cover on my S6 Edge. Goes completely over all the edges and sits almost flush with my cover. I paid to have Best Buy apply it and they did a pretty good job. It is already starting to peel up but I'll go back and they'll re-apply it or they'll fix it with a re-application of the adhesive.
thanks

thanks you verry much
I am worried about pressure points.
with no glass cover, the aluminum edging actually makes it impossible for glass to touch the floor, no matter what angle you try at.
I am worried that, if I add 1 mm of glass on top of the current glass plate, that the thickness will rise past the aluminum case.
meaning that impacts would be redirected to the glass plate.
and not in ideal spots probably.
Ive always used tempered glass before. on flat screens.
but I have second guessed this time..
I may use a thin film.
My theories are probably not exactly correct.
the extra layer of tempered glass would probably add more strength.
I just imagine those weak points and pressure points of the glass and second guess the engineering.
while looking at the phone now.. the corners of the second glass plate would rest on an edge surface with hard material underneath,
meaning extra reinforcement..
I think I will use the tempered glass also.
