Can anyone enlighten me (and perhaps the community) what the Honor/Mediapad X1/X2 is made of? I've read about aliminium and on the back side two pieces
of plastic for the antenna, etc. There is no Gorilla glass I believe? Also, what about the chrome trim around the display, is it plastic or metal?
Cheers :good:

The backside of X1 is aluminium except the upper and bottom portions that are plastic. The chrome trim around the display is plastic. I don't know about X2 as I have not seen it.

Thanks for your input. How do you know for a 100% that the trim is plastic? I reckon since the X2 is pretty much the same as the X1 it should be the same material. I worry that the chrome looking paint will fade/chip very easily...which was the case with Sammy phones for example.

Yes I am pretty sure. Accidently, a TV remote landed on my brand new X1, it chipped the chrome plating on the trim exposing black plastic.

Haha, your remote did it for science, I'm sure. I'm certain the X2 is the same then. Strange, since some others seemed adamant in claiming it was made of metal. This could be a deal
breaker to me, since you can't fix it once it's chipped or faded. Damnit.

Hi all,
searching for an invisible, thin protection film for my Topaz I found this website
http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/htc-to...s-screen-protectors-covers-cases-shields.html
It is exactly the same shield you might know from other manufacturers, but look at the price: 6.99 and free shipping included!
To make it short: Delivery was fast, the product is excellent (I have one of those expensive ones on my iPod so I can compare), and the installation is very easy. They even have an explaining video on their website.
I can recommend this product to everyone.

It's ok to me to say what you think. But I really think their product is as good as the much more expensive ones and that's what I wanted to share. BTW I dit not apply for the refund...
I have these too, and have found them excellent, however, the screen protector part is a little too "rubbery" for my taste - I feel that my fingers don't slide about as easily on the screen, therefore, I use the gadget shieldz for back and sides of the device and the standard HTC screen protector on the front - gives me best of both worlds IMHO
Ordered now - lets see when it turns up and if it's any better than the InvisibleShield...(that was rubbish tbh)

Yup.. exactly. I tested my friend's Cruise too, with the screen covered with it too. Totally unacceptable for me on the screen. Using a stylus makes it much worse.. so I applied it on the back only.
My friend's Cruise apparently had Invisible Shield.. and I think the rubbery-ness is about the same. I do however feel that GadgetShieldz has less wavy effect, thus, it looks better
Price-wise.. forget IS. Ya don't need the fancy packaging, spray bottle or a card. GS is worthit.

After seeing Mask post from another thread on the matt cover, i had order and using gadget shieldz now...
I had Invisiable shield on my previous Diamond 1.
Overall, i feel gadget shield is thinner than Invisiable Shield.... better feel, less rubbery....
but on gadget shield seems easier to be srcatch or stretch...
i had some stretch mark when i try hard to push the air bubbles.
This stretch marks is ugly as it is on the front screen area....
Just have to be extra careful during application of the shield
I also got the gadget shield, but my main problem is that it is about 2mm off on all sides. So I have small gaps between the pieces. Does invisible shield have the same problem?

You mean 2mm smaller than the device? I though that's normal..
I only applied at the back, so it's not a problem for me..
so does anyone who has tried out invisibleshield have problems with it not fitting perfectly because if it doesn't have problems I might buy one.
Gadgetshieldz
Hi all,
Just got my Gadgetshieldz this morning. The instructions are pretty good, easy to follow. However, for the pieces that fold over the sides, they don't stick well. The plastic is too rigid and won't fold and stick. I ended up with only the front screen and the backing done. I couldn't be bothered with the sides as they were too fiddly and weren't a perfect fit anyway. The opening near the speaker on the right wouldn't stick properly and am currently sitting hte phone on its side hoping that portion would stick when its dry. Overall, Gadgetshieldz looks like a good cheaper alternative to Invisible shield, (I tried tearing apart the smaller strips and they were quite robust) but usage on the diamond is really average. From what the others have said, I will most likely be tearing off the screen protector and buying another replacement if there is too much traction. Will make another post when it dries.
Cheers.

I concur on this one. I just installed Gadgetshieldz on the weekend. The battery cover portion has unsightly gaps at the top. The strips that are meant for the sides are way short and I didn't even bother applying them. Am probably gonna strip off the protection sheet and stick to a soft plastic case. They are a bit chunkier but more rigid than the silicone versions.
To anyone who gets air bubbles under screen protectors; URDOINITRONG.
Ensure the surface of both the device and the protector are COMPLETELY dust free; The smallest particle of dust, fluff, or hair will make an air bubble a good 3 or 4mm in diameter.
Other than that, ensure the edges line up straight and roll down from one side to the other. Seempulz!
I'd recommend GadgetShieldz.com.
£3.00 delivered and does the job well.

I bought one as well and fits perfectly. But installation made me crazy some pieces are too small for my fingers
Gadgetshieldz is looking like a great option to me..Ordering one now..Will see how it goes.
So my phone fell out of my pocket, screen directly landed on a rock on the ground. There was a nice scrape right in the dead center of the screen.
I found a product called 3M "Perfect-It III Trizact Machine Glaze", or otherwise known as "3M 06070". It is an aluminum silicate based polishing compound for removing swirlies from extremely high-gloss automotive finishes. The stuff is approximately $65 for a quart size from NAPA auto parts. For those who aren't aware, Gorilla Glass itself is an alkali-aluminosilicate, so this particular polishing compound is chemically compatible with the material the screen is made out of.
**Apparently Rezound is NOT Gorilla Glass (confirmed by Corning & HTC) but must have a very similar composition**
It works absolutely beautifully. I started by applying it with a polishing cloth and rubbing by hand, but I switched over to a polishing cloth Dremel tip in my cordless drill at low speed. Approximately 45 seconds worth of polishing the screen with the drill and scrape is hardly noticeable now. With a little more careful work, I believe it will be completely gone!
Unfortunately its expensive. $65/quart is really not that bad though, when you consider that most polishing compounds that are sold specifically for glass screen repair cost as much as $30 for 8 ounces, and in my experience are less effective than 3M 06070.
I hope this helps anybody with a damaged glass on the screen. Best bet is to just get a screen protector. Not having one is a potentially expensive mistake..
**NOTE**
While this does work on the Rezound, I would NOT attempt this on any other glass screen unless you can verify that it is real Gorilla Glass or some other aluminosilicate glass.
Alternately, if you prefer to simply replace the entire glass/digitizer portion of the phone, I have found one available online (for cheaper than this polishing compound too!) here at this site: http://www.gogotoshop.com/product_info.php?language=en¤cy=USD&products_id=4896

Why are you posting this in the Rezound forum? I was under the impression that the Rezound does not have a Gorilla Glass screen. Is the Rezound screen also an aluminum silicate compound that just isn't the Gorilla Glass brand?

Good to know, thanks!
As I understood it, HTC only uses gorilla glass on recent phones. If it isn't the case... then I apparently have no idea what glass is on the Rezound but it must be similar chemically because this works. I tried this on two other screens as well: Asus Transformer (which definitely IS gorilla glass) and it worked beautifully, but on an old iPod Classic from 2008 (not gorilla glass) it made the screen all hazy.
So, I guess if the Rezound doesn't use Gorilla Glass, this still works quite well, but for a reason I don't know (because it definitely does not work on other types of non-gorilla glass)
OP Corrected. The Rezound IS NOT GORILLA GLASS. Apparently its similar enough that the process still works.
Do you have pictures before/after? I would be interested in perhaps doing this. I've had my phone naked since Day 1 and I've managed to get a few annoying scratches here and there.
Funny thing is, I treat it no different than my EVO 4G (gorilla glass) and over 2 years I've never had 1 scratch in the EVO even when dropping it. I always keep it in a pocket free from any coins, keys or anything else and never place the phone face down on tables. I guess the Rezound just has a significantly less durable screen.
No I didn't take pics at the time honestly, and now that Rezound is gone cause it was warrantied for another after a hardware failure...
I did notice that the glass on the rezound is not smooth... It has some warping on the top surface that you can see when light reflects off it....the area I had used the rubbing compound on became flatter and smoother, and thus was also slightly visible in the center of my screen when a bright light reflected off the surface as mentioned before.. however this was the only situation in which it was noticeable. When actually using the phone, it was impossible to notice - you had to actually look specifically for it.
Anyway, I agree the glass on this screen is much lower quality than real Gorilla Glass. I honestly can't believe HTC would cheap out on a part as important as the screen glass, but they did it. The link I posted has an identical glass to the original one, and I went ahead and purchased one in anticipation of ruining my screen again when I inevitably drop my phone or accidentally put it in the same pocket with my keys or some pocket change and scratch it up again.
However I would note that while the polish compound worked, I would only use it on light surface scratches now, and not the deeper scratches like the one I initially repaired when I started this thread. This is because of the not smooth top surface like I already mentioned. If the scratch is deep, enough polishing will fix it, but will leave an area that you will be able to see when light reflects off the glass due to the glass not being smooth initially.

hi guys,
i recently noticed that there is a layer on my battery cover which seems to be peeling off of late, near the top of the cover where you normally take off the cover. anyone else facing this problem?
Several people have reported this in the past, you need to be careful to not over flex the back when removing, replacement aren't expensive though
ah its because of flexing... doh! thanks!
do you know about the paint on the rim of the phone then? a little bit of the blue paint has sorta chipped away even though its always been in a cover. really weird.

With all the complaints of just glue around the edges of glass screen protectors, especially the curved edge to edge ones, has anybody though about trying to find and apply their own? I did a quick search for glue or adhesives for screen protectors, but all I could find was glue to replace actual screens, which were permanent bonding type. I'm thinking if you could just buy the adhesive yourself, apply to the whole protector, then pretty much all the pitfalls of current crop of tgsp for the op5 go away. Thoughts?
From what i understand it's a very thin layer of silicon.
Applying it in a way that keeps it invisible is the trick.
I've had similar thoughts btw

Tesa make the tapes for this btw.

Trying to source the right one of those might be the best bet.
I haven't been through them all, but a transparent under 200um would be best.
tesa 61360 is 100um thick.
Tbh I wonder if a 5mm wide tape would be better than full screen. But I guess there's tapes wide enough to do all the screen
This is a really bad idea, these protectors are manufactured in a factory, if you go looking for some kind of adhesive and try apply it yourself it's just gonna look terrible, it'll probably be too thick, the screen won't be responsive enough and it'll be uneven. Forget it.

I didn't realize it was a strip of silicon. I was thinking more along the lines of some sort of spray adhesive. Low strength, optically clear of course would be ideal. Applying a strip would indeed be a bad idea.

Those are the very strips that come on screen protectors that people don't like though, the full face adhesive protectors are best as they don't let dust under the edges as much and don't have the rainbow effect, the protector only being adhered round the edges is the reason people get that rainbow effect.

Unless you get a sheet of that tape to cover all the screen..
My initial thoughts were just a slightly wider strip than the usual. That should give a better deal than what we've had so far..
I've seen something like this for the S8. whitestonedome.com protectors that fit perfectly.
They use a uv adhesive. From what I can research, the type of glue is called LOCA - Liquid Optically Clear Adhesive and needs a UV light to set. Now, I found one type called TP2500 that is somewhat cheap. But it's supoosedly used to bond the LCD screen to the glass during repair. I have no clue about the bond strengths involved and I wouldn't want a TSP permernantly bonded.
But then, heres what I'm thinking. I've seen Chinese TSP that overhang the curve sides slightly, but they offer a sealing liquid to "patch" that. And that sort of works. But from what I see on the reviews. It fails after a while. Weeks to months later the gap reappears. Rinse and repeat. Could we use a LOCA with a sensible bond strength to patch the gap until the time we want to remove it? Pretty much a poor man's version of whitestonedome.

Glass camera lens assemblies are glued together with a UV set adhesive. It is not a trivial task to separate these elements after bonding but it does make a bubble free bond and remains workable until hit with the UV. a search for camera lens cement should find several choices. Before high tech the lens elements were bonded with a balsam adhesive which also works.

I saw the loca glue, but from what I understand is that it is more of a permanent bond. I'm sure it would work well, but would probably be more trouble than it's work to remove it.
This might be worth looking into. From what I can tell, it's a a sheet of double sided optically clear adhesive. I can't find a listing for oneplus 5 and I haven't taken the time to see if any other phone models have a similar sized screen. Maybe something like iPhone 6 plus and then trim to fit?

The OCA tape is supposedly the more convenient cousin of the LOCA that's also used to bond lcd to glass. I would assume the bond strengths to be similar. Just less equipment required.

The videos available for the whitestone protector show that its possible to just peel it off. Considering that they also use a UV curing glue, I would suspect there is a low bond version LOCA. Or the lcd is just that fragile during repair that the special tools are required. More Google work might get some answers on that.
I did find the bond strength for the TP2500 though. 0.3 N per mm2. About 3kg per cm2. No clue if that is strong though since I have no frame of reference.

I find it hard to believe that putting your phone in a metal sarcophagus wouldn't impact cell reception. dbrands Damascus vinyl even impacts signal (minimally) and that's just a tiny sliver of metallic foil.
