So, I bought this slide screen protector last week for two dollars from ebay and I thought it was too good to be true but they are actually great, here is the link if you want it:http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-XtremeGUARD-HTC-MYTOUCH-SLIDE-3G-Screen-Protector-/230487883667?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35aa25ff93#ht_2384wt_1137 I cant even tell I have it on! make sure you follow the directions!!
i was going to make this same thread whenever i bought mine lol, these screen protectors are perfect, and easy to do, i literally used one hand to do it(i recently got a bad cut on my other hand)
2 dollars is to cheap not to try just bought one now im excited hopefully will work good already got a little scratch on the side of my screen
Ordered one. Thanks!

For sure ordered one. $2 is worth it no matter what. thanks for the post.
Sweet! I've been waiting for BSE to come out with theirs but so much for that. Thanks for sharing.
are these the stupid protectors that tell you to install them with water? I ordered a set of 3 protectors off amazon for 2 bucks because they were the only ones available when the phone first came out and they all ended up in the trash within two days. I have ordered cheap protectors for my G1 and you just have to clean the screen and put the protectors on and it comes out perfect. Also I notice a lot of the new protectors are made of some rubbery stretchy material and not plastic like the ones I am use to.
Why not read the description and FAQ's in the link before you make a judgment. If you don't like it, return for a refund. Yes you use A LITTLE soapy water but as long as you don't drown your slide you should be good. After two weeks, this thing is still looking new .
Just ordered, hope its as good as you say =P
So far so good. There appears to be some slight distortion, I hope that it will clear up as the moisture evaporates and the protector adheres to the screen. Not sure if it is just a mental thing, but screen actually seems to be a bit more precise with this rather than the regular screen protector.

Mine came in today and I usually hate putting these things on but it was pretty painless. Im waiting for all the moisture to dry though. Ill have a better review of it in a few days.
Just wanted to update. The distortion cleared up within a few hours. Now that the bubbles are gone (took a couple days) it is crystal clear. Overall, I am very impressed. It was $2 well spent.

Got mine in today. Everything looked cool until I put it on. That's when I noticed a piece of lint or something stuck just near the right edge. Couldn't get it off for the life of me. Sucks. Gonna order another one. Good thing these are only $2.
I got thr same screen protector and it is just as good as any high dollar one. Worth the $2
This thing is awesome! It really looks nice I am very impressed, for $2 its one of the best investments out there for your phone.
I did have distortion the the first day but it cleared up to be crystal clear. Ordering another for my g/f tonight.
Edit: Just wanted to say that this protector does not leave smudges or finger prints at all. Had a protector on my HD2 and I still had aton of smudges and finger prints even with the protector.

Worth the $2.
How long was shipping for everyone been about two weeks with nothing.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
It took about 4 days for mine to arrive. Its coming from Utah so it shouldn't take that long.
Ordered it on a Sunday night and it came in the following Saturday.
They ship it in a regular envelope, so delivery times arent guaranteed.
Just wondering, from what part of the phone to what part does this cover? I mean like, from just above the buttons to the end of the black outline on the phone? or just strictly the parts you touch the screen?
So I got my 3VO a few days before launch, and of course there weren't any screen protectors available until launch. Ok, so I didn't look too hard since they were supposed to be in in a couple of days.
Gorilla Glass or not, my old EVO screen was all scratched up. So when it was replaced after I jumped in the pool with it, I was sure to put a screen protector on it this time. I can't do protective cases, they bug me. Screen protector is about all I can stand.
Anyway on my old EVO, I got one from my local Sprint store, and it was perfect. I had no complaints about it. So I was looking forward to them getting the ones in for the 3VO last Friday. The ones they got in were from Sprint. The one I had gotten previously was in a Orangish colored package and said "Professional Screen Guard" on it. The ones from Sprint were $5 more ($15), but it came with three instead of two, and I needed a protector, so I reluctantly shelled out the $15. What a mistake.
The guy at the store put it on. It was just in a generic rectangular shape (Professional Screen Guard one was cut out specifically for the EVO with cutouts for buttons, front camera, proximity sensor etc.). I left and through it back in my pocket without really checking it out much. By that evening, when I got around to playing with the phone, it was all scratched up. You would have thought it was in my pocket with a piece of sandpaper instead of being in my pocket alone like it was. I was very disappointed. I was at a party the next day and was showing people the phone, I had to tear it off because I was embarrassed how bad it looked.
I thought, I paid for these things I had better at least use them until I can find a good one, so I put another one on. I used the supplied bubble removing piece of cardboard and guess what. SCRATCHES everywhere again.
The Sprint employee used a credit card, and that is likely what scratched up the original one. I used the supplied piece of cardboard and it did the same thing.
My review: Sprint 3VO screen protectors JUNK! Do NOT buy.
If anyone comes across the ones that say Professional Screen Guard for the 3VO, please hit me up with a PM.

Yea, I think they should take note from clarivue. I have a nice non looking screen protector on. I feel guilty because my girls 3D has one of those ****ty sprint ones on, and Im the one who put it on for her, while mine looks Like it isn't there. But then again, she didn't want to order them online like I did. Guess the nicest thing I can do is order her some when i make my next order...

Bud, just return them. Same thing happened to me. I went through all three protectors in a day, and returned them the next day. You have thirty days. Say they were crap and you were unsatisfied.
I even keep the little black cloth...
I use the screen protector built into my defender case. But you should try zagg shields. They have a lifetime warranty and are very tough. Difficult to put on sometimes and they are sort of grippy when you're touching them also. Good either way though.

Zaggs are horrible IMO. It's like putting a clear fruit roll-up on your phone =p
Sprint branded screen protectors that were in my Sprint store were also generic rectangles that didn't even cover the whole screen. they are dooky... DO NOT BUY that crap. it won't last.
I used the Sprint screen protector but I used the anti-glare and it is flawless. Not sure what you got but I will check packaging and let you know

Definitely not worth the $12.99 price tag. Better to go for something much cheaper.
I recently purchased this product after a recommendation through the XDA EVO 3D forum. I patiently waited for the product to arrive and upon arrival I noticed two screen protectors but only one LCD wet tissue. It didn't bother me at the time because I figured I would never have a need for the other one. I placed the first screen protector on my phone, and had trouble getting it to fit properly on the phone. I eventually got it on, albeit not straight, but there was this long bubble on the edge of the protector with no dust underneath it. I thought it would eventually go away.
A little more than 24 hours after use, I woke up and noticed a hairline scratch/line that was only on the screen protector. I lifted it up with tape, and ran tape under it but the issue still remained. It was not on my phone as I flipped from bottom to top, and the problem was still there. I thought how useful it was to have a second one, but had an issue since there was no other LCD tissue.
Needless to say after 24 hours of receiving your product, my phone now has no screen protector. I am very disappointed thus far with the product, as it is 2-10X the price of other screen protectors. I had no problem paying the price because I had this sense that this was a quality product.
I contacted their customer service, and their only reply was just a standard copy and paste reply that it's not their fault, and they would send another for $3. They actually expect me to pay more money for their overpriced product. I'm pretty sure these screen protectors aren't even worth that much.
TLDR; Don't buy Clarivue Screen protectors. Opt for the cheap ones. They also have horrible customer service.
/endrant
I am using the clarvue and had no issues. Nor did I use the wet wipe to clean it. I simply used a paper towel and some rubbing alcohol to clean the screen then followed up with a microfiber towel to wipe away any dust particles. Went on easy and any bubbles were easily removed by applying some pressure to the screenguard with a papertowel and pressing toward the nearest side.
These are very high quality and easy to apply. My opinion is your problems were due to user error. No reason to bash a company about their product because you didn't know how to properly apply it.
People always ask what kind of screen protector I have. Clarivue rocks!
I have stuck Seidio for all of my EVO and now 3VO needs and you cant go wrong, thier crystle clear screen protectors are thin protect really well and they don't cost that much. 9.99 on Seidio.com
I ended up with a hairline scratch on mine also after a day or 2. I can say that I will not be getting another. My Zagg on my 4g held up forever and I am rough on my phones. I think I'll get another of those.

I have the clarivue, I got it on without any bubbles... you put it on while you're taking the backing off.... the backing is folded between the screen and the cover.... it goes on smoothly, so long as the screen is clean.
As fr the Zagg's, they are tough, but too sticky for me. I use them on non touch screens.
That's all your fault really. (Except the one wipe.) I messed up while installing mine just as you described, so I took it off, rinsed it under some water and cleared a small piece of dust that attached to it. I put it back on, took my credit card to it to clear bubbles, wiped it dry and shiny. Tough luck!
Sent From My HTC Evo 3D Using Tapatalk On The Now Network From Sprint!
I'm sorry, but, I don't see how that is their fault either? You think the company should supply an endless amount until you finally get on installed perfectly?
If they mailed out replacements for free then the pricing would increase even higher. Thus leading to people who can follow instructions to have to pay for the people who cannot. Sounds like you are socialist. Go post this on a socialist forum.

I had one of the Halo screen protectors on my EVO 4G. No issues with it whatsoever and was a quarter of the price. The lackluster customer service is the only thing that irked me in the whole process. I have no issue stomaching a $13 loss, I just expect better customer service. The CSR's name was Nina, and was not helpful at all!

What did you want their CSR to do for you? You said it yourself they were willing to give you another one for $3. That is 75% off the original price. If that is not good customer service, I don't know what is.
If the item had been defective, then I'd expect them to send you some for free. But that clearly is not the case. The product is fine, the instructions are clear, and they even offer you video instructions on their website.
Sounds to me like the only thing that would make you happy is if they gave you another set for free. That is a wrong way to look at it since the reason the product failed is your inability to apply it correctly.
For those who are interested in buying these, today only you can get some good savings.
Code "clear630" takes 10% off. (this code expires today!)
Code "clarivue1210" takes 10% off. (expires December 10, 2011)
Additionally, buying 3 products takes another 10% off. If you are concerned with the OP's post, they have a package of additional wipes for $9.99 (15 wipes):
http://www.clarivue.com/pre-moistened-cleaning-tissue-pack.html
I ended up paying $10.39 for a pack of two ultra clears for my 3D. I thought about getting 3 packs which would have been $27 or so, but didn't deem it necessary. I have heard very positive reviews for these protectors... we'll see how they go when I get them in a few days.
Clarivue is now offering 25% off over the Holiday weekend(7/1-7/4). 10% code "clarivue1210" cannot be stacked with this 25% but the buy 3 or more product 10% promo does stack for a total of 35% off!
IMO, processing time is slow for something you can just stick in an envelope. I ordered Friday 6/24 at 1pm and received a USPS tracking # immediately but the post office didn't receive the package until Wednesday 6/29 at 11pm. It's supposed to be delivered today, a full week later. It took 3.5 business days for Clarivue to process and only 2 business days for USPS to ship, from west to east coast!
Oh well, tpu case and gorilla glass means my evo 3d to still in perfect condition. I might not even need the screen protector now! But the other 2 evo's on my account are not as careful with their phones as I am so they'll need the protectors.
Per these reviews, I just ordered the Clarivue Ultra Clear protectors. Awesome 25% slae - $9.73 total for a pack - win!
Looking forward to giving them a test drive.
Yeah they seem to be pretty good quality. I ordered mine on 6/22 and didn't receive them until 6/29. I also ordered the one from Seidio, but since it got here first, I put it on my phone. Now I have the Clarivue laying around as backup in case something happens to my Seidio. Just ordered Clarivue for my girlfriend's new iPhone 4 though!

25% off plus an additional 10% off doesn't equal 35% off, it's 32.5% off.
I had the seidio for my evo4g. I'm in construction and it lasted a year! For me that's good. Sand, drywall dust, concrete. Very small scratches but well worth it. Says its hardness is 3h. Who else says that? No one.
enjoying my EVO 3D. But root would be nice.
In my opinion, Screen Guard are the best screen protectors, in terms of ease of application, clarity and smoothness. At this price, you can't beat it too. Here is a link to eBay where I ordered them from. Very pleased with the quality!

Thanks, purchased.
I have always used Clarivue on my CPs because of ease of installation. Its not bullet-proof but it does the job.
I'd rather get the scratch on the Clarivue than on the touchscreen.
hi guys,
getting my new evo3d on wednesday. Just upgraded from my beloved hd2 which i had for 2 years. She was a beaut. This forum its members and developers were a pure godsend.
However, after seeing this phone on offer for £229 it felt wrong not to buy it. So hopefully you guys will help me get the most out of this new phone as i did out of my old.
cheers.
Indeed, mine should be arriving Thursday from Asda. The wife is getting my Desire.
Step one for me is to go into the clean room at work and apply my screen protector lol
Step two I guess is to charge and get sense setup how I like it
Welcome fellas
---Jay--- From the CM9 powered 3D
howdy mr paul. it was too good a deal to turn down, eh?
regarding the protector i always had murders applying my old ones. I found the best way was in a steamy bathroom clean the screen as best as possible with the cloth and then blow on the screen to remove any residual dirt/dust fragments whilst laying the protector on.
You are right about sense. the amount of times i had to redo it with all the wonderful roms on my old phone.
edit - thanks jay.
Welcome aboard indeed. Coming from those phones you should find everything fairly easy here. Solid guides in the dev roll up sticky to get started.

you should look up a company called ghost armor
polyurethane screen protector, so thin you don't even know it's there.
if you know anything about polyurethane, it's tensile strength, and other applications it is used for... you will see why it is by far the best form of screen protector out there.
thanks sarge.
@cobraboy85 that ghost armour is that the same stuff as the zagg invisible shield? I tried that on my hd2 but i could not fit it properly. If it is more a case and a screen protector then it sounds great.

I've use 2 brands all the time and have no complaints.
First is the more durable skinomi one I used on my EVO4G. http://www.skinomi.com/
That thing could take a serious beating and you can't beat the warranty.
The next is what I have on my phone right now and thats the SGP Steinheil screen protector.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/htc.html
The later was easier to install and a little thinner btw.
I used to use screen protectors religiously for a couple of years but never used one on my Evo 4G nor my 3D. Have never had a scratch on the screen. The screen protectors always seemed to take away from the feel of the phone for me. Just my 2cents, try it without one.
I use the matte ones that a finger-print resistant. However; I just recently removed it because I ordered 4 new ones, and I'm liking the way my screen looks without it. Much nicer.
I always use Martin Fields screen protectors, always found them to be fantastic.
Yes the Asda deal is bloody great!
Im also coming over from a HD2 because of the ASDA deal.
I love the HD2 and how that has evolved over the last 18 months, just hope the EVO 3D will be just as great an investment.
Hopefully with the price drop of the EVO 3D GSM and the flood of new owners, development will really start to boom, who knows may even surpass the CDMA forum
Looks like there are some great devs producing some fantastic ROMS already. In addition, we have ICS potentially on the horizon!!
Happy Days ahead one hopes
Yea EVO 3D us cool phone, I love it, had it for 4 months...
I bought 2 screen protectors for 40$.
I took them off week later.
EVOs screen is not easy to scratch so I don't see reason to put protection on it.
I'm thinkin to get otterbox case, it looks cool

no it is not a case, it is a thin film that is applied to your screen. look into it, promise you... best screen protector out there.

You spent $40 on 2 screen protectors? I got 4 glare-resistant, fingerprint-resist, matte screen protectors for $4 with free shipping on eBay. Get your money back, or call the police, because you were robbed.
I dropped my phone today....
The feeling of fear and helplessness as it slipped out of my hands and fell towards the concrete below was just dreadful...
The damage not as bad as some of the other guys that have also dropped theirs, just scratch and bent the aluminum by the Mic hole on the bottom...
Just wanted to see if anyone else had any horror stories that will make me feel better about myself

I haven't dropped my Evo LTE yet, well, because my preorder is in lala land.
But a month ago. I was canoeing at a lake, taking pictures with my OG Evo. I put the sucker in my lap! My fuggin lap! on a boat! Then while I got close to the dock, I stood up and all of sudden the world around me turned into the Matrix. The phone in slow motion went from my lap to about a three inch gap between the dock and boat. Helpless. Ofcourse it couldn't go into the boat or hit the dock. And it sunk like a dead hookers body.
Now I've had no (real) phone for a month, while I wait for my stupid preorder. Does that make you feel any better?

Ouch and to think I am sitting here frustrated until I get a new one since Google Wallet crapped out and I won't even use it that much. Guess I can't get too upset.
I dropped mine while I was doing a exchange at Best Buy for a dead pixel. I was inspecting it for flaws and it slipped out my hand Lucky I was sitting down and it landed on desk-counter and nothing happen to it
Not a drop so much as it flew out of my shirt pocket, skidded across a bar floor and smacked into a wall. Picked it up and not a single scratch at all. I was beyond shocked.
My OG EVO went off a 2nd story deck.... Luckily I had siedio case (seidioonline.com/htc-evo-4g-convert-extended-value-pack-black-p/bd5-hkr5hev4x.htm) and zagg screen protector.... No damage..... Still crazy though

So which is worse?
1) Dropping your brand new EVO LTE.....or
2) Preordering your EVO LTE not knowing when you'll recieve it.
Better to have loved and dropped than never to have loved at all?

I dropped mine yesterday while getting out of the car. Thank God i put on that ugly case they sent. i nearly **** my pants. but with the silicone case it nothing appears to have happened to it. i miss having a lanyard. But this case will do for now.
WHY DID THEY STOP PUTTING LANYARD HOLES ON PHONES!!!?!?!?!?!
i dont care if most people in the states dont use them, i always did!!! everyone in asia still uses them!!!!!
during pre-order, sites had HTC LANYARDS in their accessory sections, i was so excited, but after i got the phone, NO LANYARD HOLES. JUST A BIG TEASE
Dropped mine when it was in the blue gel HTC case onto brick. No damage.

I didn't get a gel case, I got a silver bodyglove vibe.... The phone hit the ground on its end, the only spot where the case doesn't cover

I got that silver body glove case too, now I'm upset seeing others got better cases
The silver one is supposed to retail for 25

I just dropped my phone outta 3 story window (Galaxy S II) basically the same height as my neighbors roof... I was playing on it while smoking a cigarette and it slipped out of my hand... I ran down the stairs FAST! and when I got outside it was still in tact I checked I have no marks at all just a few scuff marks that wiped right off it landed on the screen too! I have a d30 duo shock case, (which now I will. Have on every phone I buy!) and a zag screen protector! I'm amazed and soo happy

You people are clumsy. I haven't dropped mine yet and won't.
Ok I have over no joke over 40 different phones over a ten year span. I use to work at a retail store that sells sprint and since the HTC touch I been a Htc fan. Only once have I dropped my phone into a bucket of mop water that was freaky. I also buy good cases and have insurance. It's the be safe then sorry feeling. Ever since the windows PDA that I recall buying for 500 bucks have I did the insurance. Since then these phones are fragile.

Dropped mine yesterday.
I got out of the car and it slipped out of my hands onto the parking lot asphalt.
Just two small notches in the metal lining on the very left bottom corner of the phone is all the damage it took.
A friend said they bet my heart jumped. I said, "Nah, Its just a phone."
I'm lucky that there were no scratches on the back casings or glass.
I've had cell phones for a long time, and I stopped dropping them when I got my i860 Nextel. I've always had phones that are delicate, and I'm careful about my electronics. Unless they're marketed as such, THEY'RE NOT SHOCK RESISTANT, and they will break.
My philosophy, if you're a klutz in your day-to-day life, you should have a case.
I have an otterbox case and i hate it. So big and bulky. but it works until i find something slimmer.
It's not always about being clumsy, sometimes sh!t just happens. I live in NYC and at any moment someone can walk or run into my hand while im walking down the street and send my phone flying. Let us also not even bring up a crowded bar with drunken people who like to zig zag unpredictably.
Truth is, if my insurance was still $100 then i wouldnt even bother, but at a $200 deductible i feel forced to rock a case.
