Looking at some cheap screen protectors for the Hermes. I have seen these are on eBay at £1.99 for 6. The seller offers "buy 2, get 1 free", so including postage (£1.99 to UK) it works out at 18 screen protectors for £3.98.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290056291809 (or search for item 290056291809).
But are they any good? Or would I be wasting my money?
The general rule is: if a manufacturer sells screen protectors in packs of several, it means the mfg himself does not think it will last for a long time.
Martin Field Overlay Plus lasted 3 years on my SE P800, and wasn't need to be replaced when P800 retired.
Treo 650 screen protectors
I use the one made for the 650 from Palm. Works well, fits well. Lasted well on my Treo.
the multi packs arent any good...and i think you'll be wasting you money...

You may be right. They arrived yesterday, and seem to be of quite good quality. The one I have tried appears to work OK (i.e., it doesn't affect my use of the screen, and it does put a protective layer over the glass screen).
However, the ones which I received are just a little bit too small to cover the screen (about 2.5mm too short and 1mm too narrow), so I will be contacting the seller about this.
I'm not actually worried about how long they last. Even if I have to replace the protector every month, I have enough to last me for 18 months - and I'll certainly be replacing my Vario 2 for a new toy before then!
Then again, I'm still not convinced that I need a screen protector. Before the Vario 2, I have had an XDA Exec, XDA IIi, XDA II and more iPaqs than I can remember. I never used a screen protector on any of them, and I have never ever had any screen problems.
You can get exim spucs off ebay for £3. I highly recommend these.

if you dont mind crying when you scatch your screen, then no!
I can only agree with the other posts I used the cheaper screen protectors in the past, thinking its ok when they scratch I'll just replace it, but it's true you get what you pay for, I have just paid £6 for a single protector and well it's brilliant, it sucked it's self to the screen No bubbles At All, Feels better to use the screen and up to yet not scratches.
ShieldZone's invisibleSHIELD looks really good. Pay once, protect forever.

Hi can anyone recommend a screen protector for a MDA compact V -
i had ordered a martin field screen protector for a diamond2 but it is competely the wrong shape ( ordered from a reputable supplier so fairly certain its not a fake.)
the one that came with the phone is pretty scratched up and and desperately in need of replacement.
any help greatfully recieved.
thanks
maybe its a fake.....
em......
just to add the SP does not have a space for the video calling camera, maybe it is a fake but i got it from mobilefun.co.uk
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/martin-fields-screen-protector-htc-touch-diamond2-p19940.htm
could anypne clarify if the diamond 2 has a video calling camera on the front?
thanks
Yup, it does
guess that confirms it - i emailed producers of martin fields SP and they were not bothed by someone selling fakes with thier name on it....
so back to my original question does anyone kow of a SP that fits the compact V? even T mobile dont sell one.
seller on ebay - protectionfilms24 sells MDA Compact V screen protectors, pack of 6,
I bought some, they do fit and are ok but to be honest I liked the one that came with the phone but have been unable to find them anywhere too. You would think Tmobile would sell them as they should be a good (probably high profit) seller !

I was looking for a replacement screen protector for my new Compact V because I find the one T-Mobile supplied smears and fogs the screen when viewed in unfavourable lighting. Don't you find this also?
These work/fit fine on my Compact V:

Let us know how you get on - I also bought a TD2 screen protector that didn't fit because of the slightly different shape of the Compact V and am looking for a replacement.
htc pure aka compact v?
i have just ordered one from
www.protectionfilms24.com
will let you know how it fits.....
on another question has anyone found a gel like case for the compact V? is it true that the HTC pure is the smae as the compact V
I have just got one of the DuraSec High Tec screen protectors from
http://www.durasec.com/catalog/index.php?language=en
It good quality but a bugger to fit but for £9.00 including postage it was worth it.

well this one from amazon fits like a glove, excellent coverage and super smooth - would recommend!
I recommend this auction. For little more than £3 you get 6 screen protectors. Sure, they are not the best, supersonic stuff you can buy, but they are very decent at the same time.

Hiya,
So I made the mistake of purchasing a Zagg Invisible Shield. I hate the rubbery feel of the screen AND the phone. Anyone know where I can purchase a screen protector with the exact same quality as the one that came with the TP2 as I really like its quality.
Thanks for any help
not knowing what country your from (assuming UK like me) how about this link
if you want HTC original fee to the protector then buy from HTC
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=179111
if your not UK then go to HTC.com and choose your country
Bear in mind that you can find better screen protectors than the stock one out there - Brando, Martin Fields etc. The HTC one was OK in my experience but it was prone to scratches - three months ant it was a goner. Brando crystal clear - better looking, better feel and not a single mark after half a year.
I agree...Invisible Shield sucks.
I bought two. I sent them both back before I got a decent one. They looked like they had been cut out with 1st graders' scissors and were ratty and frayed. Not to mention, they make everything look murky, and you can never get all the air bubbles out.
For me I bought it from here, h t t p : / / w w w. boxwave . com /accessorie s/h t c-tilt-2-screen-p rotectors_3729. htm The anti glare one as well as the case. Love both of them, this film u can see that it's there but it works like a charm. Oh and no bubbles or anything, it was worth every pennies.
Hey, I just backed a couple of these to protect my TS and wow apparently they are shipping out next month I think because they have all the laser cutting tools, must be world's fastest KS lol.... Only $6 got to be a steal...

BTW does anyone have the dimensions to protect the TS? I did see there was a site selling TS compatible screen protectors before...
Upgrading to a Sony Xperia z3 I bought on swappa, listed as mint condition but doesn't have accessories. (Coming from htc sensation & Samsung galaxy II- current). Should I use Sony brand accessories for charging, headphones and the like? I also need something to protect it from myself (just call me butter fingers) and onry terrorist toddler. I don't know anything about Qi or the magnetic cable charging technology or what to look for and steer away from. I need a case and screen protector I'm assuming? All the help I can get I would appreciate. Also, do you think I can/should pay for the monthly protection TMo offers? I really need this phone to last awhile.

I found that glass on display is quite enough, so dont use any screen protector. For charging I use the standard Sony charger and also Sony WCR14 case that have Qi wireless charging. Protects phone and dont have to mesd with cable and always open USB flap. As for headphones I found the included ones quite good and for outside I have wireless bluetooth ones with Bluetooth 4.0 from Philips. Super useful for travel is Xiaomi battery pack with 16000 mAh capacity, supports chargin at 2A.

Ah I looked up the Qi case, it's a bit out of my piece range at the time being.
So my concern is, if I drop it without a screen protector / case, then is Sony's glass going to hold up?

NO WAY... The glass is super against scratches and greasy fingers (just use glass cleaner to wipe) but should you drop your phone its likely it will break. Seen some half dead Xperias already. The back is also glassy.
The protection case, at best with rigid frame, is absolute must.

I have a black leather flip style case for my Z3. My gf bought it from a local market stall a while back, and its fantastic. It also has slots on the inside of the front cover for credit cards etc.
A little late but
the orange store south africa sells the wireless charging kit for under 300rand which translates to $20. So far while it is a little awkward to use the phone at times i love it. At night I charge with the case open 44degrees c yesterday. I would recommend it!
Got me a set of Anker USB cables, a Copter Exoglass screen protector (tempered glass) and Rearth Ringke Fusion case. Thinking of getting something to charge magnetically. The rest I have is wonderful
