I've tried HTC branded screen protecters (HD2 cut to size) - Unfortunatley both went on my first two handsets which have been replaced so i'm without a screen protecter for now.

Seems good, did add a small bit to reflections, aswell as some friction so pinching wasnt as effortless but stilll easy.

Would give it a 6/10 since altohugh its good its still not as good as no screen protector.

Anyone has the Vikuiti screen protector? I got mine from Ebay (haven't installed it yet) but I've read that it might be too thick so touch input isn't as good anymore. Can anyone confirm or infirm?
[Desire Accessories] who_me:
I've got one of these on my Desire at the moment (bought the one in single pack...know there's like a pack of 6 floating around somewhere too). Touch input seems ok for me...not had any problems. I'd rather have a screen protector on there than nothing but like I said for me I haven't experienced any issues. :)

i bought this 1

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....720425&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_1363wt_972

the case is quite tight but once you get it on it fits well, there is a little misallignment with the power button and the hole for the speaker is not big enough but in overall its definitely worth the money and i dont see a point of spending more money for a case that in the end wont be much different than this
[Desire Accessories] redrazr7791:
Brilliant! I was going to do that also.

However, I found out that Boxwave sells screen protectors here in the U.S. so decided against it.
[Desire Accessories] HighSnobility:
Just pulled the trigger on a similar case as well, should be okay until something better comes out.

I just revceived my Sena Ultraslim pouch for the Nexus One.

http://www.senacases.com/htc-cases/htc-google-nexus-one-cases/ultra-slim-pouch-sleeve/

You'll forgive me for how this is gonna sound, but at first it's kinda tight,then after you stick in and pull out the Desire a few times is loosens up and becomes a perfect fit :p:p:p

Yep i'm not kidding :p
[Desire Accessories] s4vva:
Hi any chance of a pic with the desire in the case please?
[Desire Accessories] vdude_1:
I was extremely close to order that case but I read a review saying it just keeps getting looser and the phone won't stay in after a while. The review also said the velvet/microfiber lining on the inside starts to come away from the leather..I've gone for the Krussel Luna at the moment but if the Sena Ultra Slim gives you good service for a few months I might still pick it up then.

And as above, a pic would be very much appreciated :)

What's the inside like? Is there material in there to protect the screen?

And where did you get the discount code from?
[Desire Accessories] jonmall1441:
Hey can someone confirm that items from this seller are genuine PDair? It's from Hong Kong so i am slightly skeptical :S. I have sent the seller a question to prove it is genuine but maybe someone has already purchased a case from him... Thnks

Anybody else noticed how crummy the back cover and chin material is? It just rubbs off! Check my gel case!
[Desire Accessories] MacCarron:
Hahahah i'll report back in a month or so then :P

The inside feels like velvet, but i'm not an expert so i cant be 100% sure. It is soft though, and certainly not potentially harmful to the screen. The discount code is written somewhere here in the forums, i dont remember where exactly..try searching for it or google it.
[Desire Accessories] Hillsman:
Currently using a Mofi pouch which is excellent protection however i have to remove the phone everytime i use it. Now i have just ordered a Martin Fields screen protector so was wondering what offical gel cases there are? I have noticed you can buy Nexus one gel cases which apparently fit perfectly well but would rather buy Desire ones.

Anyone got one or know where i can buy any?

Many Thanks

Hi all, just ordered Sena case.

My ultra clear protector from Brando arrived today - would have been sooner if it hadn't been for a certain volcano :)

They're very clear, and I can't tell any difference with or without it when typing or swiping from screens or playing games, I tested with my wife's Desire which hasn't got a screen protector on yet.
[Desire Accessories] cez10:
do the colours have any sort of colour distortion? is the screen as sharp as it was before? is the protector a bit sticky when u touch it? i.e. when ur hands are slightly wet?
[Desire Accessories] HighSnobility:
Wtf? That's messed up.
[Desire Accessories] rjpearce:
I bought the Hybrid (non-gel) quad pack (Nexus One) from Play.com.

But it does not fit the HTC Desire (it's just too tight). Make sure you avoid it.

http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...-For-HTC-Go/Product.html?ptsl=1&ob=Price&fb=0
[Desire Accessories] Incendiary:
Strange, nothing like that on mine. How long has yours been on for?
[Desire Accessories] fredfox_uk:
No colour distortion that I can tell. I tested it with the HD video that someone posted on here recently - still looks as great. Not at all "sticky" although there is increased friction if your finger is wet, although I try not to use the phone if I've got wet hand :) but I don't think it's more than without the protector.
[Desire Accessories] blackfox888:
is the brando's screen protector anti fingerprint?

I got myself one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120547652721&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT as per first post, arrived today>

Love it, for 6 quid it looks pretty slick and feels pretty well made. Job done thanks. Waiting on play to send the screen protectors now.

[Desire Accessories] Brodel:
This looks like a pretty nice case, especially for the price. Does it look like there might be room for a desire with one of the thin flexi skins on, or is it already a very tight fit?
[Desire Accessories] suhailpatel97:
Looks like an awesome case... Few questions about it:

Can you post some pictures of the Desire in the Case?

Is the case really protective, Can it survive a small drop to the ground or carpet?

Also does it have a foul smell like some other leather cases?

Thanks in advance...
[Desire Accessories] who_me:
So I thought I'd try and get a HTC touch privacy screen protector and try and cut it down to fit the desire...measurements was fine, tried to apply onto screen but get major air bubbles...actually not bubbles but air gaps down either side of the protector which aren't too noticeable when screen is on. BUT I tried to peel off tab number 2 and the tab itself came away but not the thin layer of protective film...just spent last 30minutes trying to see if I can separate it with my fingernail to no avail :-( may just go back to a regular screen protector for time being...still waiting for official ones to come from Play...
[Desire Accessories] Nelsaidi:
I've ordered a Brando one after haering good things anoit it, will be better than the HTC one imo, will comment once I've recieved it and post a comparison of both procteros.

I'm trying to decide whether to get one or not...seems a bit of hassle to get to the phone when you're out and about...may stick with case and screen protector - can access it quicker when it rings...although I do like accessories :D

My 'cheap' eBay screen protector(s)- [blurry] pics

Just received a set of two for £3.00 GBP inc P+P:

Excuse the blurry pictures, I'm sure it's my camera Sony DSC-T70- anyone else have problem with it? Or is it just me, what am I doing wrong? :D

Anyway, the protector, applies on very well. The pictures do not do it any justice. Looking good so far.

EDIT: Forgot to add, there is no adverse affect on the touch screen; if anything, it actually feels better/smoother.

Will give a second opinion on the case once I receive it from Karolis :)

If you can wait for a few days actually play.com has the battery for just £17.99 including free delivery (handtec doesn't give free delivery right), but they won't have stock there until 6th April, but that's ok with me.

anyone ordered the official HTC screen protector from play.com?

was supposed to be released today, it says its out of stock though, have any of you heard anything?
[Desire Accessories] fowler002:
I wouldn't hold your breath, I pre-ordered on the 7th and for the last 3 weeks the order status has changed from pre-order to order taken then back again to pre-order.

while the order status has been changing the status on the product page has been changing from preorder eta: x april(x beeing a datee), when that date comes it changes to temp out of stock then after a bit on that day back to pre-order eta with a date a week later.

the date on the official htc site is currently saying 12th may, I'd assume that play would be getting stock about the same time. the date on the htc site has changed a few times over the last month itself.
[Desire Accessories] Afc!:
yep your right, the status has gone back to preorder now, till 5th may, im just going to cancel it

is there anything decent out there for the £5-10 mark?
[Desire Accessories] who_me:
Hmm wonder if Play is changing the date so people cancel as £4.99 is pretty cheap for 2 official screen protectors (considering rrp is twice that!)...although if HTC haven't released any yet then that probably is the reason (i'm so cynical! :D)...needless to say it worked, I'm going to cancel my order as I've just ordered the Exim Spuc screen protector instead...

I got some of these from amazon (5 for 3.99 incl postage):

5 x ClearICE Anti Scratch LCD Screen Cover Film: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

This is what you get, i was delighted as i had previously had these for my iphone and they were great.. (ive posted a link below the pic to the iphone screen protectors so you can see the great reviews they got - its the #2 best seller).

They are a perfect fit and because they are the triple layered ones (main screen protector layer protected by two outer layers) fitting it was easy as it was fairly rigid, i nailed it second time, probably could have got away with how i fitted the first one but due to the price i didnt mind binning one

4-pack

I have bought the following [Nexus One] items from an ebay seller:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Holder-Mount-Car-Charger-Case-HTC-Google-Nexus-One-/350347718270

The car charger works fine and charges the phone while using GPS.

The case is very tacky and cheap-looking, although it fits the phone fine.

The car holder does not fit the Desire. I cannot get it in the bracket at all. Maybe with real force it might work but I am not going to do that. I know that it is supposed to be for a Nexus One, but would be very surprised if it fits that phone either.

It was all less then £7 though!
[Desire Accessories] alio993:
I bought 6 of these from the same seller for about 3 quid and they're good. Put it on in about 10 seconds without any bubbles and cane really tell its on unless you look round the edges of the screen. So I'd recommend these.
