Got my Martin Fields protector yesterday, had one on two previous phones, great quality, clarity, great fit.

Hopefully this was a one off bad protector but it was an utter pile of rubbish.

To start off with it was cut very badly, it was quite a sharp cornered square shape (which left huge gaps either side of the one x).

The application was not as smooth as previous screen protectors, levaing quite bad bubbles (though not impossible to get rid of after a few attempts).

Finally to add insult to injury, the adhesive between the thicker guide and the actual screen protector was so strong it would not come off, I had the choice to either have a thick (0.1mm) blurry slab of plastic on my screen or no screen protector at all.

As I said I've always liked martin fields, but this protector was so bad, I've sent it back and asked for my money back. I'll keep looking, but as for MF, i'd avoid their HOX protectors.

How does the camera lens protector work out? Any Good?
[HTC One X] akil3x:
price: 19dlrs = +- 14 euros everything. 3/4 days come to Portugal.

When I have in my HTC i share some pictures ;)

Once upon a time i bought Martin Fields, but then appear SGP :)
[HTC One X] Hunteres:
thanks a lot. waiting for pics :)

Hey guys,

My Skinomi screen protector has arrived,

Less than a week from US to UK on standard global postage.

Here's what's in the box.

- solution

- screen protector

- Skinomi embossed microfiber cloth

- plastic small squeegee card

I will let you all know the results after application.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Here is my phone immediately after application, as you can see from my post above (box opened at 10:59 & photos below are just 19 minutes later at 11:18.)

Any dimples & imperfections should iron out once dry.

Looks pretty good immediately, by far the easiest I've ever applied.

-----

I've done some very close, full flash photos to try & show the slight imperfections after immediate installation, all of which will vanish once dry.

Not many at all, far less than other wet application screen protectors that I've used in the past - just a few 'dimples'
[HTC One X] martinmccarthy:
Where did you get this one from?
[HTC One X] gkhn:
Thanks a lot for the photos mate!

So that one does cover the edges? I think i will order these too.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I bought it directly from Skinomi.

US to UK was less than a week shipping, after delivery & discount etc it was less than a tenner. (£9.xx)
[HTC One X] losjettos:
looking good, how does it feel? Is it more like plastic and slippy or rubber and sticky?
[HTC One X] twe69:
Looking at those skinomi ones, whats the difference between the normal and drytech versions? Does it protect the camera at all like a cut out for the lens?

Thanks.
[HTC One X] Ruudfood:
Looks good. Might go for the full body protector.
[HTC One X] losjettos:

There you find whole range they have for this model
[HTC One X] spridell:
Anyone buy the dry Skinomi and know if it covers the whole screen?
[HTC One X] shankhar:
Great, thanks for photos. Does it comes with camera protector?

And I noticed your case looks good, what case is that ?
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Your welcome,

I only bought the 'screen' protector, but I don't think the full body comes with camera lens protector either.

The case is the official HTC clear hard shell one.
[HTC One X] LadFromWales85:
Argh, upon reading this thread I quickly ordered the 'skin protector' after reading that skins were better than protectors, and it'd appear that comes with a back skin too! Didn't really want that :(

Ah well never mind...
[HTC One X] feygor:
I have 2 questions:

First did the imperfections go after drying,

Second, did you have to leave your phone switched off for a whole day? I heard it doesn't adhere if the phone gets warm.

After my Martin Field's disaster I'm tempted to give Skinomi a try.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Where did you hear that?

Heat is a big helper for wet application film protectors, more heat, more healing & more sticky.

I used my phone just after one hour, the browser is a good indication as the white background will show moisture, you will see this after application, it shows itself as a rainbow effect. - after 1hr after application, this vanished on the white browser - so I used it from then on. (Maybe just not as much as I usually would)

I certainly wouldn't (or couldn't) be able to wait 24hrs before using my device.

Not all blemishes have vanished just yet, but most have (less than yesterday) - & I did only install it yesterday.

Here are some more shots to show I have zero loss of colour reproduction or viewing angles. (Forgive my camera, its the Motorola Xoom)

I have a very slight orange peel effect, much less than what zaggs invisible shields have, and the screen is a lot less tacky than that product aswell.

Its a little bit more tacky than without any protector on, which is to be expected - but still very smooth, ie. Slowly moving my finger from top to bottom, the protector gives no hint AT ALL that it wants to slow down my finger (or stop it which zaggs invisible shield does)
[HTC One X] Artyom K:
HTC says there should be a hole for a proximity sensor. Which screen protectors have it?
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Does not matter, just tested this and my screen goes off in-call when 6 inches away from my face.
[HTC One X] Noodles5666:
I decided to go a different route than Zagg or Gadget Guard and got some demo product from DynaFlo coming in Monday. Will take pics and post up but until then here is a link to the product.

[HTC One X] stjs:
just picked up at local Best Buy
[HTC One X] feygor:
Glad to hear your happy with it, might order myself one, I think i'll wait until Noodles5666 posts their views on Dynaflow, hopefully i'll get no scratches in the mean time lol.
[HTC One X] wai_lai416:
i bought a invisibleshield front only for the one x while waiting for the Spigen to arrive.. application was pretty straight forward and simple. it covers the whole screen and there's a little cut out at the top left of the screen protector for the proximity sensor.

i'm gonna rip it off though as soon as my spigen comes in.. reason being is i just don't like the invisibleshield collecting dust over time on the edges and the screen doesn't feel as smooth as a regular screen protector. but overall for 20bux it's not too bad..

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

i'm actually thinking about buying the full shield and put on the back piece only and shove it in a cover.. i wonder if it'll fit lol
[HTC One X] twe69:
Just to say my Golebo semi-matt Screen Protector from ebay arrived last week.

It's pretty good in that it allows the phone to be used in direct sunlight but overall it does lower the quality of the screen to give the semi-matt effect.

Also as the material is thick it lifts up on all four edges due to the curved screen.

Sent a photo to the seller and they will be refunding me, guess they did not test it on the phone themselves and just released it with the glass measurements.....

[HTC One X] Noodles5666:
Received my Liquid-Armor today. Will post videos and thoughts tomorrow.
[HTC One X] redpoint73:
I think the Skinomi instructions say that moisture and whatnot should be gone after 24 hours. But when I applied the protector on my Flyer tablet, it took a good 2 days for everything to really clear up. I had some silvery looking specks all over the place (looked a bit like glitter) that freaked me out, since they did not clear up after a day. But they were gone after 2 days. So give the Skinomi a good 2 days of drying before getting worried about any moisture related blemishes.

Skinomi techskin fullcoverage carbon fiber

I just thought that I would let everyone know about my experience with the full coverage carbon fiber skin. The carbon fiber back has a nice feel it actually feels a little like carbon fiber. That being said its the only good thing about the back skin. when properly alligned with the camera lens the skin I received was off on the speaker holes above the beats logo by about 1/4 inch. If you twisted the skin a little to make it line up then the top contact for the docking station was completely covered. In short, there is no way to properly align this skin.

The kit also came with a clear screen protector. The screen protector is easy to install and unlike the carbon fiber back was cut well. The tiny bubbles and distortions cleared up after the first day and so far I'm living it. I have a friend that has the zagg and I didn't like the feel or the orange peel look.

I have an email in to skinomi asking for a replacement back that's properly cut. ill update this post when/if they reply.

personally, I would hold off on the full body protection until they get the cut better.
[HTC One X] saayinla:
ordered one yesterday based on your review, dispatched today.
[HTC One X] Havoc2k:
anyone testet the one x carbon fiber back protector from skinomi?

could not decide to buy or not to buy ;D

greetings
[HTC One X] mobilemaduk:
My spigen sgp screen protectors arrived to say and the fit is very poor. Length wise they are fine but the width is bad. It just covers the screen but doesn't cover the black glass section so the edge of the screen protector gives a lip that I catch all the time. Very disappointed and contemplating taking it off and going without a protector at all.
[HTC One X] Azzatar:
Skinomi carbon fiber update

I emailed skinomi and let them know about the issues I had with the carbonfiber skin for the one x. They replied saying that their designers have corrected the issue with the skin and they are sending me a replacement free of charge.

Quick response from customer service. I will post back again when I get the replacement skin and let you know how it fits.
[HTC One X] wai_lai416:
just got my Spigen screen protector in today. will post some pics up when i put it on
[HTC One X] wai_lai416:
hmm after putting on the spigen.. i'm going to say stay away from the dry film screen protector.. becuase the edge of the screen is curved.. it'll not sit properly.. i'm going to ask for a refund for spigen.. coz obviously they didn't think about that..

the greyish area of the screen protector near the edge is the part that's not adhering, it's uniform all the way around the screen protector.. so dry film does not like curved edges
[HTC One X] mrvirginia:
not sure why you guys decided to pick up the SGP one when everyone was saying it wasn't a good fit :confused:
[HTC One X] Tikerz:
Anyone who picked up an Invisible Shield from Best Buy have any comments on fitment?
[HTC One X] ken-ywk:
I have some questions before I buy the Skinomi Screen Protector. User of skinomi, does the screen protector cover the whole screen? does it stick on the curve part?

thanks.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I posted pictures in this thread (many of them), you shouldn't need to ask this question.
[HTC One X] ken-ywk:
I saw it stick to curve but then ur photo is blur so just want to confirm..
[HTC One X] wai_lai416:
Coz it was purchased a while ago before ppl had review and only arrived just now lol
[HTC One X] twe69:
The same thing with the Golebo branded ones off ebay, I got a refund on it as the sides lift up like in your photo.....
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
Ordered the skinomi wet one for $9.......hopefully its good.

I don't think I'm going to even apply the protector yet honestly, especially with these screen flicker issues.

Mine has flickering on light grey colors, if it gets replaced....the screen protector would go bye bye :(

So yea, I ordered a skinomi but don't plan on putting it on until something gets solved with the quality control etc...
[HTC One X] Aeneas:
Short review of Skinomi screen protector.

In a word, I don't like it very much.

Pros:

It's easy to apply and sticks well.

It's bigger than a 'cut' screen protector.

Cons:

While bigger than a 'cut' screen protector, it's not edge to edge.

It's thick, so if you swipe from the edge of the device you'll feel it. Really annoying, but maybe it'd be okay if your device was in a case with raised edges - you wouldn't be swiping from edge to edge.

It's got that rubbery feel, but that wasn't a surprise.

I took it off after a couple of days, so I guess that's a few dollars down the drain.
[HTC One X] wai_lai416:
I decided to just go with the original HTC flip cover
[HTC One X] sh500:
Avoid 'cheap' eBay ones

I have ordered dry screen protectors from two separate sellers on eBay and both of them are at least 5-6mm too narrow on the width.

I am looking at my screen at eye level and to me it does not seem that much curved for the dry protector not to go/stay on properly.

I have always bought the 'cheap' eBay protectors for my device for many years now and they have never failed me. They have been an excellent fit and very scratch resistant.

I am yet to see a decent fitting/looking protector for the One X. The 'wet-skins' seem to come close but I would like to hear from those who have it- whether the orange peel has disappeared totally. I have seen mates devices with such protectors and the orange peel effect is very annoying as is the 'rubbery' feel.
[HTC One X] Charlie360:
I ordered and paid for the DevDef full skin over two weeks ago and have never received it, to add insult to injury they have never replied to any of my emails enquiring as to it's whereabouts (other than automated email responses to say they will reply within 24-48 hours which has never happened) Have to say on this basis I really cannot recommend them and will try ordering from skinomi I think.:(

[HTC One X] Noodles5666:
I have used the Dynaflo Liquid Armor and am quite happy with it. Will post pics up when I get in work tomorrow. **** is sweet. Doesn't even look like I have a protecter on it.
[HTC One X] wai_lai416:
I've contacted spigen and sent them the pics they are looking at it and see whether its just me or its a design flaw. Anyways they are sending me a new one and if that still have issue they are gonna give me a full refund
[HTC One X] expertzero1:
they made the screen protector smaller on the width so it will fit on the screen. Make sure you put it on right not to close to the edges
[HTC One X] wai_lai416:
what about the top and the bottom too though? the side it's not tooo big of an issue it's the top and bottom that have like a .5cm gap
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Likewise, they've taken my monies and no response since! Been a week now, will give it a few days before I take it up with PayPal and open a dispute to get monies back.
[HTC One X] Noodles5666:
Here are some pics of the Liquid-Armor shield.
[HTC One X] sh500:
Is this actually effective? I have seen videos but am not convinced (!)
[HTC One X] Noodles5666:
I have not had any issues. I tried scratching with a key, put in my pocket with about a teaspoon of sand in it(figured if it can take that it can take most things).

[HTC One X] saywhat4118:
So do you like it? Would you recommend it to everyone?
[HTC One X] Noodles5666:
Yes and yes. I've tested it out on multiple phones the only one I had a issue with the phone with a plasitic screen. All the glass screens no issues.
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
I brought a Invisible Shield from Zagg direct, cost me £2 as I work at Carphone Warehouse.

But anyway I fit these everyday and have done over a hundred fittings I believe, I fitted mine today and when I was fitting it the screen protector felt lighter than normal. After fitting it was pretty smooth, it shows the marks easy still but they can be wiped off, but I'm pretty impressed with it as other than the feel, which I don't really like, it still shows off the amazing screen! :-)

I've resisted for a couple of weeks now but gave in as I would literally cry if I scratched my screen.

[HTC One X] simcarloc:
I went for Dynaflo Hardshield too. It seems win win to me - easy to apply and strong protection. The science seems sound and the reviews are decent. I will report back with my findings fellas!
[HTC One X] Noodles5666:
Awesome bro. I used to go through screen protectors like no other. That ish starts to add up at $20/phone when you go through 6-8 phones a year.
[HTC One X] sh500:
How often do you re apply this stuff? 6 months or so?
[HTC One X] Noodles5666:
They say 6 months but I'd rather call it safe and do it every 4-5 months. Each bottle has about 50 sprays which if you follow thier recommendations would mean 25 applications.
[HTC One X] twe69:
Tempted but not sure. My best skins ever all over body protection on my xperia play has changed colour, looks very dull against the white of the phone and its only about 4 months old. I do use the phone outside and leave it in the light etc but thats surely normal use.
[HTC One X] Huey85:
Can't wait for your findings as I'm really curious about this form of protection. As it's not a physical screen protector you're applying but rather some liquid agent instead. Wondering just how much protection it can really add and is there any noticeable layer on the screen? I'd be interested in using it myself if others have positive feedback on it.
[HTC One X] Noodles5666:
I have posted pics in this thread of Liquid Armor protection and thoughts on it.

[HTC One X] Charlie360:
I was wondering whether to get a full body skin protector to go under the hardshell. I know this rather sounds like overkill, but I previously had an iPhone 3G with a hard shell and after a few months with the hardshell in place the back of the phone was in a dreadfull state, because of the tiny little bits of grit, sand and dust that moved around between the two surfaces and scratched it all up (ultimately it would have been better without the hardshell I believe) - I think it's almost impossible to prevent dust getting between the phone and hardshell and it's a pain to remove it and clean it frequently - any thoughts from the Skinomi skin users or the hardshell users on this thread?
[HTC One X] 1earful:
i purchased a martin fields overlay plus screen protector off amazon. incentive to do so is the fact that it includes a protector screen for the lens as well. the protector seems to fit very well. i think it shows fingerprints faster than the original gorilla glass, but i feel much better about the lens in particular.
[HTC One X] saayinla:
Ordered mine same shipping and still waiting 11 days later... tracking only says despatched.
[HTC One X] Zinta:
If you are talking about Skinomi, I emailed them earlier and got an email back saying it can take 1-3 weeks for international orders but it can be earlier then that.. So if it's not there by the 3rd week I would complain
[HTC One X] WESBAR:
Mine took over 2 weeks to arrive. The front screen protector is good (after a couple of days drying out) but the rear was a waste of time. Impossible to fit. It now resides in the bin.
[HTC One X] dape16:
Question for you with the wet screen protectors like Zagg etc (film protectors).

I have tried Invisible shield and also Copter (the best screen protector IMHO) but even after two weeks I can still see like moisture on the whole display. Exhanged the IS after two weeks because of this and now after two weeks with Copter it is still there. The phone was brand new before mounting, display clean and I have mounted Copter protector on about 30 phones before, never had a problem.

So why does not the moisture go away on the HTC One X display? It is on the whole display, like glittering red, green and blue dots.

Thankful for any suggestions. :) Already tried the hairdryer on the IS without success.

ZAGG InvisibleSHIELD® HTC One X (Full Body Coverage)
[HTC One X] kdeezy:
So do we have a verdict as to what's the best option for our phones? I haven't seen a recommendation that makes me want to buy any of these
[HTC One X] restrict:
I myself bought SGP oleophobic screen protector. I know I know, dry-type scren protector are no good for this fone and I also read the negative reviews about the SGP.

But I have been using SGP for past 3 yrs now and just could not bear the idea of rubberized feel of touching screen in case of zagg. So just bought one, to check myself and be another penguin taking the leap.

As far as my opinion, I am fine with this film. It's crystal clear, no rubbery feel and yes after applying I didn't get lifted corners like someone posted earlier.

Here are the shots just after I installed it.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Don't like that at all, its sooo short from the edges - looks like its just stuck in the middle of the phone.
[HTC One X] Artyom K:
What would say about skinomi drytech vs. SGP?
[HTC One X] restrict:
I agree, it's too short. That's a spoiler for me too. But atleast it isn't lifting off. I might try skinomi if this irritates me in long term.
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
neither......any dry application won't be that good as the edges of the screen are curved. It will either be very short or the ends will peel.

I just bought a skinomi but the techskin wet application one. Am waiting for an update on screen flicker on grey colors before I put it on just incase.
[HTC One X] kdeezy:
I guess I will have to take the plunge and buy the seido hd protector once it's released. Hopefully it works out.

I bought EZ-HD screen protectors. They fits superior but the quality sux! I cant recomend them.

Btw, Help me reach 10 thanks, ty :)
[HTC One X] Rycon33:
XO skins looks good, too bad the shipping fee to Singapore is 34dollars lol
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
I had the XO skins on my Galaxy Nexus maybe like less than a month ago.

It's not bad, but from what I see so far compared to the Skinomi I just put on. It is thicker and has more of an orange peel effect (it's still not that bad esp compared to zagg) compared to skinomi.

BUT, XO skins dries up really fast, I remember seeing it dry up and start getting rid of bubbles by like 6 hours and able to use in like 10-12 hrs it was basically fully done.

I just installed Skinomi for the first time, and theres like a mist effect from midway of the screen all the way down to the bottom. It's been 12 hours and it's still there with like 8 bubbles so it takes a LONG time to dry up and use.

Will probably blowdry it in a bit as it's a good method for speeding up the process
[HTC One X] Nitin985:
I've scratched my phone. Was the reason I got a screen protector.

SGP skin thoughts ( around 1 week of usage)

Pros:

1. Super smooth. it almost feels like the glass surface I had before applying the protector.

2. oleophobic ones get much less fingerprints than the glass itself.

Cons:

1. Too short. sometimes my finger brush thru the edge while scrolling left to right and vice versa.

I'm really confused now. I really like this screen protector, but because it does not cover full screen i don't like it.

Can anyone suggest me which one i can get that can match with sgp feel and also cover the entire screen.
[HTC One X] 1earful:
whatever you do, don't get the nillkin. it's too small to cover the one x screen.
