Thanks for this great thread! I gave this a go and had a near perfect installation, I didn't not even use a hairdryer to get around the edges, just the room temperature, it is really good compared to the ag matte film i had before, crystal clear!

The only problem is that it took me 5 attempts to get a perfect lint/dust free and proper alignment, glad the films came in pack of 7 lmao, i still have 2 spares. Just ordered another 14. :P

Here're some tips:

If you ever get lints/dust underneath the film you're probably screwed. Although professional installer would get the dust out with scotch tape and so, I only found more and more dust gets trapped inside when I attempt to remove them.

So since the film comes in pack of 7, don't waste your time removing the dust. Just take out the film, trash it, take a new one and give it another try. When you remove the previous film, it should take of the dust as well, but check properly before you put another on it, clean the screen if needed.

Once you have a DUST-FREE and PROPER alignment, don't mind the bubbles if there is nothing trapped in it. Wrap your hard card with a soft clothe and then with reasonable pressure, slowly squeeze the bubbles out. Trust me, it will work, I did this to all the bubbles trapped in the near edge curves, all is good!

P.S.: I bought my films from the ebay link in the first post, it is really good!

Gorrila screen is scratch resistant, not scratch proof!

My friend had a good scratch on his sensation XE screen for trusting gorilla screen and not having a screen protector. It is very visible and I wouldn't ever want one on mine. :P
[HTC Sensation] isherdholi:
anybody know where i can get a good matte / anti-reflective screen protector?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEKKNzeoirs&feature=relmfu

just ordered this, it looks like something I would like. I had great experience with capdase products previously.

I have had casemate barely there for quite a while but I feel like it doesn't give much protection, and it is a bit tricky to get to the volume rocker.
[HTC Sensation] Feartech:
bestskinsever

i have used these products on desire hd and on the sensation from here: http://www.bestskinsever.com/htc-sensation-4g-skin-1 awesome products, costs a bit more than the average skins, but certainly worth it!
[HTC Sensation] pieces of cake:
I have never used a screen protector on any phone I've ever owned. I have also never had a single scratch. Stop putting your phone in the same pocket as your keys.
[HTC Sensation] CTR01:
there are these incidents called accidents that are uncontrolled and sometimes having a case and/or screen protector helps...i've never bought a case/screen protector until this phone (sensation 4g) and hope they will help the phone last a while. I take good care of my electronics and see no reason why not to spend a couple bucks to protect something so expensive...but to each his/her own i guess...
[HTC Sensation] boodee0110:
The link on OP is dead.

Anyone want to recommend me a screen protector? I make a lot of finger prints so a finger print resistive one would be great.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] AZ2ENVY:
I updated the link in the OP. Thanks for the heads up :)
[HTC Sensation] ahmettutus13:
i'm not using any screen protectors or nothing like a case because this phone doesn't have any problems about that :D i'm using it about 8 months and there is nothing to be protected on my phone :D
[HTC Sensation] ede1005:
agreed. gorilla glass is pretty darn scratch proof. had this phone for 5 months and the screen is unscathed. otterbox for bumps and falls but my screen is happily naked
[HTC Sensation] Aldosry:
might order it later

the battery cover is the one getting all the scratches on my XE, thinking about getting a white one instead of the scratched black one
[HTC Sensation] blek42:
Agreed. The back cover is a pain. White covers look like crap after a few months of dirt creeping into the textured surface.

I really like this brand of tpu case:

http://www.amazon.com/HTC-SENSATION-SKIN-CASE-QUBITS-BRANDED/dp/B005A2UR4W

There are a few color and clarity options. Really low profile, good protection, and an OEM style pattern.
[HTC Sensation] amsterdam88:
I need screen protectors for my XE. Which are the best? I can buy it only ebay, not amaze or other sites..and need italian delivery! Thanks
[HTC Sensation] justchillinuno:
AHAHAHAHAHAH thanks people for the laugh... Screen Protector on Gorilla Glass... ITs like keeping Fix A Flat in your backpack while you ride a bike with tubeless tires.... WAIST OF MONEY!!!!!!!

On another note..... anyone know where you can buy a back OEM cover for these things?
[HTC Sensation] Deconvolution:
Cool I'll probably try this screen protector out
[HTC Sensation] CTR01:
well my results...

since im in the dorms and none of my roommates (all guys) has a blow/hair dryer, my final result (3rd attempt) was to just cut the screen protector to a slightly smaller size and just avoid having to deal with the curved edges. so it doesnt look pretty but being that it is a screen protector, it still covers and will protect the screen. and i still have 4 left so not really a worry since they were 3 bucks.
[HTC Sensation] sale52:
Just ordered, thanks for posting new link AZ2ENVY.
[HTC Sensation] SlimDan22:
Just installed, nothing sucks more then admiring your work and then you notice a spec of dust that snuck its way in :(

I had a lot of air bubbles, but i think this was due to me not heating up the protector enough, it was mildly warm when i put it on. I may use a heatgun for a bit on low instead of a hair dryer
[HTC Sensation] GoreTan:
just ordered!! :D

by the way, I only care about getting anti-fingerprints on my screen.

how good are these when it comes to resisting fingerprints?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] u8800:
Not that bad really.

Had mine for some weeks now, and alredy it has some bad scratches I can see. So I have to say, It looks good, but it is not longlasting.
[HTC Sensation] jacko_oafc:
Anyone got a link for the UK. Need a screen protector but don't want to buy a cheap one.

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] bmwsensation:
Go for the zagg one, I've waisted much money on worthless cheap screens, the orange peel isn't noticeable when its on. And this is the only one that will stick in corners. !

send with my sensi
[HTC Sensation] salea656:
thanks for sharing. just orderd 7 and some matt screen protectors wth it
[HTC Sensation] Mohanned85:
Nice
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
Gorilla glass does indeed scratch. I just got a used Sensation and it does have a few specks. Hardly noticeable at all, and it can be polished out with the right compound as long as it's not too deep. But I'm definitely interested in putting a screen on to not have to deal with that. Thanks for the tip. Hopefully, after a weeks usage of getting finger grease on it, it'll have the right tactility.

Only problem is I'm sure I absolutely suck at applying these things. Hopefully the pointers given will help, although with no head gun or hair dryer, I'll have to use hot water. Is that a bad idea? Maybe put it in a ziplock bag and dunk it in hot water for a while to keep it dry. Hot enough? I hate bubbles.
[HTC Sensation] dajogejr:
Had a Zagg, like my skinomi much better. Still slick to the touch and doesn't get that rubbery feel like the zagg does when wiped clean.
[HTC Sensation] brilldoctor:
Anyone got a UK link? If not who is it shipped from to the UK
[HTC Sensation] brilldoctor:
Edit: ordered. Will report back when installed
[HTC Sensation] Michealtbh:
I've tried a few screen protectors and within a few days they always start coming up at the edges. I'm applying add directed in OP, does anyone else have this problem?
[HTC Sensation] John.K:
can you give me a link to the UK ones?

thanks
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
Yes, the only screen protector I've found that won't lift at the edges was a genuine HTC foil. The trouble with the HTC one was the foil was so thin, presumably to curve with the screen, that it was a nightmare to apply.

I used both supplied foils and couldn't get either to stick without air bubbles, fibres or dust underneath - they are so thin they won't hold any shape and require extra handling to apply. Normally air squeezes out quite readily, but again the thin foil means hundreds of bubbles get left, each leaves a mark after migrating through the foil.

I got so fed up with the rubbish under the foil that I fitted a cheap one I got free with a case, it lifts at the edges and scratches easily but when the screen is on these disappear.
[HTC Sensation] brilldoctor:
I just ordered them from the states - free p&p and PayPal charges in gbp
[HTC Sensation] Michealtbh:
I buy the bullet and shelled out for a Zagg, costs much more than the cheap screen protectors but I'm hoping it will stay stuck and not come up at the edges
[HTC Sensation] htcguiherme:
Just ordered mine comes with 7 for only 3.00
[HTC Sensation] brilldoctor:
Mine didn't for my wildfire (on the sides)
[HTC Sensation] GoreTan:
I having trouble getting the air bubbles and the bottom out. No matter how much I try and push the air bubbles out of the bottom curve of the phone, they still come back? I aligned is perfectly but still the screen protector doesn't want to stay.

Any help?
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
It might like saving a few bucks is worth it there, but I got the Zagg booth girl to put it on since she does it every day and is very proficient at it. No bubbles, no lifting at the edges. Best $22 I spent outside of the gel case.
[HTC Sensation] insanechinaman:
Honestly, this was one of the worst screen protectors I've ever tried. There are streaks all over and it looks like the adhesive was not even applied correctly. Maybe the new link has different ones, but these were absolutely terrible.
[HTC Sensation] theSituation:
I used Skinomi

its one of the best i have tried because it fit perfect and had a life warranty, but after a while the corners started peeling because of my case rubbing and the material its made out of although its very forming to the screen it has a lot of drag.
[HTC Sensation] insanechinaman:
I agree, Skinomi was the best one I used, and I'll probably get another one after this one failed. If your Skinomi one is breaking why not just email them and ask about it? They all have lifetime warranties as you said, so maybe yours might get covered.
[HTC Sensation] f_ammari:
Clarivue

Hello,

I'm waiting for my Sensation XE to be delivered so I started to shop for a screen protector.

I have previously tried Clarivue products on my Samsung i780 and HTC HD2. They were quite decent.

Have anyone tried it for the Sensation?

http://www.clarivue.com/htc-sensation-4g-screen-protector.html

Another question please, the screen size for the Sensation/Sensation 4G/Sensation XE is the same, right?
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
uk option

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290671736...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1622wt_1207

hey guys, used this guy in the uk ^^ £1.45 for 6, fits all the way around the screen, smooth and sleek. job done :cool:
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
yeah the screens are the same size
[HTC Sensation] htcguiherme:
Just got mine they are bad have so many bubbles
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
That's because you didn't put them on properly. Search it up on YouTube how to.
[HTC Sensation] donwhann:
Sweet jesus, nearly 13 bucks for 2.....yesterday I put a full screen protector, including the curve on on my xe and it's 100% perfect, cost me £1.09 for 3 off ebay. Took me 2 goes to get it right though due 1 spec of dust..... Can't be having that.... :-)
[HTC Sensation] htcguiherme:
Yes I did
[HTC Sensation] f_ammari:
He he... It's 10.8 bucks with a discount coupon :D

The thing is, I have been using the same clarivue protector for nearly 1 year now on my HD2 and truly it's almost as good as new... the second protector is still unused....

On the other hand, all my friends using brandless protectors for 1 month or so you can see they don't hold up again scratches... They look horrible after some usage....
[HTC Sensation] sp33dy_gtx:
SOLD I didn't get one :(

Can somebody tell me another but low price please I don't want to spend that much money on screen protector.
[HTC Sensation] chriskinetic:
im looking for a decent cover to buy from the UK , tried some cheapo ebay ones but they wouldnt stick properly , the edges keep coming unstuck near the glass bevel , i tried using the hairdryer but still no luck :(
[HTC Sensation] Michealtbh:
This happens with all protectors except Zagg in my experience. Unfortunately the Zagg one makes the screen look and feel crap
[HTC Sensation] chriskinetic:
any where i can get those in the UK ? im giving the phone to my wife so not overly bothered how it will look and feel :D
[HTC Sensation] nzxtneo:
First, you gotta tell me why you can't buy them yourself??? :confused:

Then send me PM if your still interested.

I only need 3 of the 2.
[HTC Sensation] qw_haoyun:
thanks for share
[HTC Sensation] EniHS:
I've never bought anything through ebay (I know, I know). I see that there is shipping worldwide option. Please tell me: is shipping free to any country? The only cost is this 3,15 USD? If so, how the seller is earning on these screen protectors?
[HTC Sensation] nzxtneo:
Just tried purchasing and it wouldn't let me...

It gave me the error message: This seller is currently away, and is not processing orders at this time.

What the... I ain't never seen that before...
[HTC Sensation] nzxtneo:
Check out the Shipping and Payments tab on the bottom of the page. Poland is an option and it says free, so I guess your good to go!

Also these screens all come from China, so lets say the seller buys in bulk at $.75 a unit, then turns around and sells them for $3.15, that's a $2.40 profit (minus shipping and seller fees, of course). $2.40 doesn't sound like much, but when you sell a thousand, that comes out to $2,400!
[HTC Sensation] leyvatron:
The T-mobile screens look just as good but scratch real easy....

After having it on for a few days, how are the scratches on your screen?
[HTC Sensation] swellthekitty:
Probably ran out of stock but is expecting more in...at least that would be my guess since they didn't remove it. Or the seller is just waiting for Ebay to remove the item for them.
[HTC Sensation] swellthekitty:
Just checked and all of this seller's items have the same "message". So who knows if they'll ever be back....hmmmm
[HTC Sensation] AZ2ENVY:
Still not a scratch on my protector :) Lol I wonder if he got overloaded with orders
[HTC Sensation] durps:
Can someone please sell me 1 or 2 of these for 3 paypal bucks?
[HTC Sensation] nzxtneo:
durps, I already responded to you at the top of page 5...
[HTC Sensation] swellthekitty:
Error message is gone and able to buy again in case anyone was interested...
[HTC Sensation] durps:
Opps, didnt see that lol. I dont have an ebay account anymore, just have a paypal. Thats why I either wanna buy off amaxon or through here.
[HTC Sensation] nzxtneo:
Word bird,

I just purchased them, so send me a PM with your info.
[HTC Sensation] kevinliu2336:
What I do is I spray water into the air using a febreze bottle so any dust is pulled down by the water.
[HTC Sensation] durps:
Actually I ordered a full body kit, but if I ruin the screen protector then I'll send you a pm
[HTC Sensation] nxt:
With no belt clip from studio yet, I've been sticking the phone on my pocket. Because of the raised edges, dust has started sticking to the edges. :(
[HTC Sensation] tinker2000:
Is there really any need for these at all?

My desire had gorilla glass like this and after 15months of hammer, no scratches. :)
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
here we go with gorilla glass blah blah blah
[HTC Sensation] picachux:
Just got mine for my Sensation 4G and my sisters G2x.

They fit just about perfect on my Sensation aside from the small notch at the top. Great buy for a dollar until REALOOK release theirs. Thanks to the OP.
[HTC Sensation] AZ2ENVY:
The notch is for the screen brightness sensor :)
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
I almost got one on perfect, except I have a border all the way around the phone where the edge on the protector won't go down. No bubbles or anything, just a border around the entire phone.
[HTC Sensation] picachux:
Wow, Shows how much I know. I just put a flashlight to that area and I see the sensor. Any idea what is the small see through circle above it to the left of the ear speaker? At first I thought it was the notification led but that's on the other side.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
I think that's the light sensor and the notch is the proximity sensor. Or its the other way round.

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I use tap tap app and can confirm that the notch on the screen is the proximity sensor and the other opening is the light sensor.
[HTC Sensation] picachux:
Thanks guys, Learn something new everyday. :D
[HTC Sensation] bigmachine:
anyone here got a skinomi screen protector on? i've read great reviews on it in amazon.com.. would like to hear how easy/hard it is to apply as this is a wet application
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Terrible shipping so far from this seller.. I live in the same state and it's been over a a week.n
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Exactly. It's obvious he lies about when he ships it. I just got mine yesterday, but he said he shipped it on monday. I should have had them on tuesday. He lives 2 hours away from me, and everytime I buy something from ebay and they live in the same state as me, I get it one day later.
[HTC Sensation] Yori-:
did you guys get a tracking number? I ordered this a week ago, it was marked a shipped the next day, and still nothing.. usually even USPS first class mail will get anywhere in 3 days.
[HTC Sensation] keithgrobertson:
Just wondering, for the OP or anyone,

I ordered the "HTC" brand screen protectors and they should get here in a little while (week or so)... Can I heat these, too? Are they all the same?
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
@OP - I've just bought these based on your recommendation...they better be good or else I'll ban ya! :p
[HTC Sensation] StefanB86:
EDIT: Never mind. Delete please.
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
No tracking number.

Simply put, the seller lies about when he ships it. He'll just go on his ebay account to mark as shipped when he actually hasn't shipped it yet. As a top rated seller on ebay (me), that pisses me off so I left him a one star rating for shipping time.

I never lie to my buyers about shipping.
[HTC Sensation] c19932:
I think they seller probably did ship it but the package is being shipped from China.
[HTC Sensation] antoniolopez90:
Got my sensation a couple of days ago, was gonna go with device totally naked... today I noticed a small like 2 pixelish scratch on the screen. :mad:

So ordered some of these and a matte/gloss tpu case that was also recomended in the cases thread. $7.45 total hopefully will keep my device safe... I hope.

On a side note... we need root and roms badly, this sense is crazy ram hungry... after playing n64 it usually has been pushed out of memory and has to load again...

My two day old sensation is making me :(:(:(
[HTC Sensation] TPJin:
Do it in your washroom after one's shower.
[HTC Sensation] eddie3six:
i click buy now and wasnt gonna pay till next day but he sent me a message if i got a invoice for him and if i can pay asap he got everything ready to be shipped ...so i paid last tuesday night-July-12 and said will ship next day and still nothing no tracking , im from ny, i dont know where he shipping from but its taking along time. i think my case i order from hong kong might get here faster then his shipping :-\
[HTC Sensation] picachux:
I received the ones for my Sensation 4G and my sisters G2x in the same envelope from Sunnyvale, CA. I ordered on the 12th, Envelope is post marked in San Jose the 14th and arrived in Los Angeles on the 16th. Shipping address is stamped, My address was written by hand. :D

No tracking #, Just an email from ebay stating that my item was marked as shipped.
[HTC Sensation] Pneumatic:
Same here. I just sent them an email asking what's up.
[HTC Sensation] rolltideburr:
lol I did too, I ordered the htc ones from uk the same day and they got here before these... he has got to be lying about shipping..
[HTC Sensation] 808HD2:
I just got the 5 screen protectors and it took about a week to get here to Hawaii but it is a better protector then the tmobile one.. I'm happy with it!!
[HTC Sensation] Yori-:
its been a week and half, still no protectors, getting ready to dispute it on paypal soon.. LOL
[HTC Sensation] rolltideburr:
He responded to my ebay message, "Shipped the next business day. Normally takes about 7 busienss days to arrive. "

That means I have another 2 days after today. Horseshiz
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Received OP's screen protectors, but my experience isn't good.

I did heat the protector, although admittedly not to the point it was hard to hold as advised. There are two big problems. First, I can't get the bubbles out of the corners. Due to the curved glass it just won't stay in contact consistently at those curvy corners. Second, there are several small dings in the surface. It's like having damaged screen, which is exactly what I wanted to prevent. Tried two of them so far and both have blems. I'm sure it's a manufacturing issue since I did not damage the surfaces.

Otherwise it works well, very clear, no touch sensitivity issues, and decent fingerprint resistance. But those two flaws are fatal. I may try the remaining ones to see if they are better, but will also try a Phantom Skinz.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
I've got phantomskinz. Pretty good. Sticks to all corners and edges perfectly.

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
[HTC Sensation] Yori-:
I just received these screen protectors, i can't agree with you on this one. I installed just one, did not heat them as O.P suggested, and it came out just perfectly fine. I can't say i'm an EXPERT at putting screen protectors on, but I just did what everyone else usually do. Just rip off first layer, put it on. With remaining 2nd, 3rd layers, just squeeze out as much bubbles as possible, and then rip off 2nd label. Usually there are still bubbles. Then finally trim your nails and make it flat, but grind them so they are not rough. Squeeze the bubbles out guiding them to the closest side. I got all bubbles out of every corner. Also i had NO ISSUES with these screen protectors riding out of the left/right sides of the screen, due to the curved glass. It sticks just fine, actually, it seems to stick better than the tmobile ones. The clarity on these are just fine & these seem to resist fingerprint smudge a little better than the HTC/Tmobile ones. I have tried both tmobile/htc ones. You still get finger prints but, its definitely better than most i've used.

Only cons I have are, the seller does LIE about shipment date, I'm looking at my item postmarked @ July 15th and it was delivered today. As usual regular USPS mail takes 3-4 days AT MOST. I'm guessing seller just marks it as shipped, but gathers all his orders, and makes 1 trip to the post office.

Other con, the screen protectors came a little dusty, which leads me to believe, he orders them from some factory in China. Luckily all the dust/sand are on the outside of each protectors.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I have no doubt these are from China, and based on my sample the manufacturing QC is poor. The little nicks in the surface of the first two I tried are proof enough. No idea how you got it to stick in the corners unless the stiffness or thickness varies, or perhaps your glass isn't as curved as mine. It's not that I have it shifted too far in one direction as the bubbles are at both the top and bottom. I hoped sitting overnight it would sag into the corners, but no dice. But then they are 5 for $3.15 including shipping, so my expectations weren't very high to begin with.

It's valuable to share experiences, which is what the forum is for. :)
[HTC Sensation] rolltideburr:
You go through screen protectors that fast?? no flame, just curious
