Can anyone recommend a screen protector that ISN'T completely smooth?

I find that immediately after I've washed my hands my thumbs tend to stick to the screen and drag against the glass.

I want a screen protector that reduces the friction, if possible?
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
Even though they are not the cheapest out there, I know the Zagg Invisible Shield provides a good amount of friction, it's not uncomfortable, and it does not feel sticky at all once you get used to it in one day. For more information on them, see this link.
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
Today, I received my FlexiShield Skin for my desire from mobilefun. I have uploaded a few close-up pictures for those who are still interested in purchasing one.
[Desire Accessories] irkan:
would you recommend the zagg invisible shield on the desire? as a full protection? i cant help but to think that bubbles and air spaces will still be there if i applied invisible shield to the Desire, .. and what about the screen responsiveness?

i saw the clip about the iPhone its pretty intense, the screen protector must be thick.

i dont mind paying its cost if it is worth it :D
[Desire Accessories] albert_htc:
I've just put a best offer in for this one:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110508139466

Offered £2.50 inc P&P :D

Worth asking !!
[Desire Accessories] redrazr7791:
Man those are some nice cases. Sucks that they will not ship to the U.S.!
[Desire Accessories] albert_htc:
Just wondering with this flexiskin if the desire would fit in to this :

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Luxury-iPhone...X&its=C%2BS&itu=SI%2BUA%2BLM%2BLA&otn=4&ps=63

What do you think ?

Add a screen protector and it should be OK for a while ! I Hope !!
[Desire Accessories] Ghisy:
Guys, which screen protector is the best between the Brando UltraClear and the Vikuiti DQC-160 (sold on Ebay)? Thanks!
[Desire Accessories] fredfox_uk:
Ultra Clear is much better IMO. The antiglare takes away some of the sharpness of the displays.
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
You clicked the link for the iphone Mofi cases, there's another link here specifically made for the Desire :)

I think it would be an extremely tight fit with the Flexishield skin, might not even fit.
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
On my previous phone, i﻿ didn't notice any change to the screen sensitivity.

These Zagg protectors are really good imo. My friend has the Nexus One with the Full Body shield. The grip improves considerably, depends of the﻿ installation you can maybe lose the smooth edges of the Nexus, but the grip is phenomenal. It can stay on almost any vertical surface without slipping. However it is pretty difficult to put the full body shield on that only a sadomasochist can do it :D, I suggest only the screen cover forget the﻿ full body one!
[Desire Accessories] albert_htc:
Thanks Mastoid

Any suggestions for a case that would allow the desire & the flexiskin ?

(If I ever get the desire.. only people with it in stock have upped the prices !!)
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
If you are looking for a Mofi case, you could try this one:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Desire-SUPE...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1271271371&sr=8-1

I have it and the Flexishield case fits in perfectly, not loosely, but just right.

Note: it's not a leather case but made from a micro-fibre material.

EDIT: I ordered from here, phone is supplied unlocked and unbranded, you also get a free car charger!

Here's a few pics I uploaded so you can take a closer look:
[Desire Accessories] irkan:
thanx! :D i guess am ordering the Zagg screen cover and forget about all cheapo screen protectors :rolleyes:
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
No problem Bud, quality item, definately worth it especially after spending all that money on it, naturally you would want the best protection for the device.

New slip case at Brando (they also have screen protector now): http://shop.brando.com/pull-tab-holster_p03539c1181d039.html
[Desire Accessories] Petesky:
What would be the sturdiest case to get , I keep my phone in my

pocket and do a lot of bending at work so I'm looking to protect

it the best I can ,

I'm going to get the gel skin and a screen protector for it but think

I'm going to need a case as well
[Desire Accessories] krader:
Has anyone tried this case http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/flip-case-htc-desire-p24212.htm? It is very close to the Noreve one, but cheaper.
[Desire Accessories] kazgor:
yeah i have one of those flip cases, and agree with the review on the Mobilefun site, its doesnt have a leather feel, but very much plastic feel.

i kinda like the other one they did but 30quid seemed a bit to much.
[Desire Accessories] subharmonic:
I just bought this as a cheap interim case...

h**p://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130378587544&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:GB:1123#ht_2040wt_1167

Anyone else got one of these? It looks like one of those ones kicking around elsewhere with the Nexus 1 badge on the back.

Will it end up being one of those intermediate coloured shells? Or proper matte black? Anyone bought this exact shell?
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
I bought one from mobilefun.co.uk (overpriced :D), it's not exactly the black matte finish i had hoped for... it's a little transparent (grey colour). I think the one you have ordered it identical to mine, everything is exactly the same in terms of the cutouts and the nexus one logo on the back. I took pictures of mine a few posts back, so you can take a look at what it looks like.
[Desire Accessories] bridgstfer:
Can the logo be removed?
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
Yes it can, its stuck on with some type of adhesive
[Desire Accessories] stewart30:
ordered one and offered £2.60 and got accepted.

looks like the same as one currently offered on mobile fun for £10.47
[Desire Accessories] rdann:
Looks like a good interim case, does it fit OK, any problems with buttons?
[Desire Accessories] GreenSaints:
Hey,

I got my Desire yesterday and am very pleased. Upgraded from my Touch Pro and the screen is HUGE in comparison!

Anyway - I too am looking for accessories to keep it all sparkly and new and came across this bundle

http://www.mobileden.co.uk/mobilephones/pc/Mobile-accessories-starter-pack-7315p3554.htm

Not bad for a starter?
[Desire Accessories] bridgstfer:
Ok so where can I get one of the Nexus ones for the cheapest price?

Also does Black or Frosted/Grey look best? (Difficult to tell from the youtube videos)
[Desire Accessories] s0meb0dy:
I ordered HTC Desire SP P360 Screen Protector (2 pcs) package from Clove together with the phone. It's only £7. Not a bad price for official HTC screen protector which is also supposed to reduces glare.
[Desire Accessories] irkan:
do they have it in stock? probably it will delay the shipment of your Desire
[Desire Accessories] badgerz:
Finally received my case from eBay, am quite happy with it for £1.99 delivered. My needs are for it never to get scratched so should do the job for that pretty well.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Leather-Rim-V..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches?hash=item2a05a9e275

eBay image looks as such

Has no marks or labels.
[Desire Accessories] albert_htc:
Had my offer @ £2.50 accepted :D.

Hopefully it will fit OK !

Now I need to find a decent pouch / case for the desire+skin to fit in.

The one Mastoid posted about (Mofi) looks good, but can't find it on ebay & no black ones on Amazon :(

Then a screen protector.. Martin Fields or Zagg ???

Oh.. I also need a HTC Desire :o:p

Thanks :)
[Desire Accessories] s0meb0dy:
It was in stock even before they got any Desires.:)

It is still being shipped, so I cannot comment on quality.
[Desire Accessories] irkan:
oh cool ... handtec still dont have them :p

guys what do you think about this one?

looks nice and with relatively low price, seems good value :D

Just found the Zagg one at http://www.morpethmobiles.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=/AZJ37/-EV-HTC-Desire-Invisible-Shield for £15.75 if that's any use to you

If you went zagg you could get the up to 50% off code! Thats what I did
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
When available, I'm actually going to buy a full body skin from bestskinsever.com. I have heard some really good things about their skins, not too pricey either.

http://www.bestskinsever.com/htc-desire-skin

Supposedly very similar and even better than invisibleShield!

http://www.gamershell.com/articles/1010.html
[Desire Accessories] Raikaito:
I have had both on my iphone etc (currently have a desire) and I preferred invisibleShield's, but I guess that's my preference. Both are good though.
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
Just out of interest, why do you prefer the invisibleShield?

Thanks.
[Desire Accessories] cez10:

[Desire Accessories] Raikaito:
Just go on the their website and enter the competition to win a ipad. All you have to do is give them your email and they will send you a discount code. Easy ^_^

I prefer them due to the feel of them. Also the I found the install was more forgiving if you make a little mistake and you get the solution (not a problem but a nice touch).
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
Thank you for the feedback.
[Desire Accessories] Raikaito:
If you have any other questions I would be happy to answer ^_^
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:

[Desire Accessories] Raikaito:
Hmm... I like the chicken McSandwich or the chicken royal... hmm I wouldn't really choose either though... ^_^
[Desire Accessories] redrazr7791:
What do you all prefer? Full body or just screen protection? Essentially when a case comes out, like the "tough case" from case-mate, this phone is going in it.

So do you think that just screen protection is sufficient enough?
[Desire Accessories] Raikaito:
I usually go with a full body and a silicon case. Depends on how rough you are with the phone. If your careful a screen shield will be fine until you get your "tough case" as phones can take life in a pocket for a while with no problems.
[Desire Accessories] Brodel:
Does anyone think that this Nexus Hard case might fit? I know that the silicone skins have been quite tight. I had one similar to this on my iphone once and it was pretty good, for £3 this could be worth a shot before something specific comes along. What do you think?

I can't post links, but ebay: BLACK HYBRID ARMOR HARD CASE SKIN FOR GOOGLE NEXUS ONE
[Desire Accessories] redrazr7791:
Oh no, my phone stays in my hands and hardly ever goes into my pocket. IMHO, I think that full-body protection would add to much "bulk" to the phone and possibly effect the way it fits into a snug silicone case or a armor-type case.
[Desire Accessories] rahadza:

I ordered the quad pack from play.com (as reviewed by floatingfatman). Pretty happy with the gel case, not as tight as I thought it'd be and fits my phone well. Feels nice to hold too, less worried about it flying out my hands when I'm out ad about. Charger works...still got to test out car charger and I already have screen protector on my phone so one that came in the pack will act as a spare. All in all very happy with purchase especially as it was all for £13.
[Desire Accessories] Laban:
Neeevermind :)
[Desire Accessories] Raikaito:
Ah you sound like me! Silicon cases are hardly effected by the full bodyness but fitted "armor" cases will usually not fit.

@Brodel

Cheers i just oreder one :). May not be a perfect fit but its better then leaving the device bare naked :S. And its only £2.99 (+ 0.50p shipping for me) so even if it doesn't fit exactly i didnt spend a fortune on it.

No problem, I ordered one myself too. :)

I'm interested in the Zagg Invisishield, anybody fitted a full body one from here? :

http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-desire-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php#

I want to know how Invisible they really are. i played with a N1 recently that had some sort of full body shield but not sure which company it was made by and it looked quite tacky and plasticy
[Desire Accessories] Raikaito:
I have bought one which should be with me soonish. the fact that it is plasticy is inevitable as you are wrapping your beloved phone in plastic. But I didn't mind it so much you get used to it and like it. A little more security in the hand you know etc.
[Desire Accessories] jonmall1441:
Might want to check these cases out. They've got a vid on the front page which shows durability of the cover and protection. No Desire specific cases yet but i would think they will have some soon.

Yea its so funny when they run it over! hehehehe

but still promising cases me thinks :)
[Desire Accessories] sdemmery:
Just ordered one of these, looks perfect for my needs, I intend to flip it open & use the flap to secure onto the dash of my car (some how) for my occasional sat nav use. I notice they do a magnetic system which would do this but I dont fancy adding the lump of metal they supply to the back of the case.

Also think it may work if case is open like a book & on its side by the side of my bed whilst using Kaloer Clock (nice landcape led alarm clock app)

I Will post here when it arrives, although it says available on Cloves website I have my doubts that it actually is as Proporta(manufacturer) are only allowing pre-order

Cheers & Thank for pointing thi case out:)

Lowepro Tasca 20 pouch

have any of you guys have tried the Lowepro Tasca 20 carry pouch for digicam?

I used it with my touch hd for the whole year. now the pouch took over the duty to carry my desire, fits perfectly (a bit lose) too.

I'm new so cant post link but you can google it. and only cost around £8.00

from lowepro:

"The Tasca is made from tactile neoprene fabric providing the consumer protection without the usual bulk of a more constructed, padded case. The sleeve design assures protection for delicate LCD screens and allows the consumer to slip the Tasca into a bag, pack or luggage piece without threat of scratches and dings. The magnetic top closure keeps the electronic device secure; the carabiner allows consumers to attach the Tasca to pack, lanyard, apparel or belt, enhancing accessibility to electronic devices."

I'm still looking for a proper sceen protector for my desire.

for the moment my touch hd screen protector have to do it lol

I bought one yesterday for £4 from a market and it fits perfectly. Just need to cut a hole in the back with a stanley for the camera/flash.

I've just discovered a new (for me) cases brand, and they looks very cool: Melkco http://www.melkco.com/scripts/main/viewpda-HTDE-O2.html. They book and flip type cases are leather but with metalic holder, and I like it. Has anyone bought or tried something from them?

Althow, the best case they sell is the "Jacka Type", that they have for iPhone and HTC HD2, but not for the Desire: http://www.melkco.com/scripts/main/viewitem-O2HHD2LCJT1BKLC-HHD2.html. It looks Amazing!!!

UPDATE: Melko is also known as Carry Mobile, who has an online store (the Melkco one is only for resellers): http://www.carrymobile.com/scripts/main/viewpda-HTDE-O2.html. It is the same web but with real buy button, and same prices as PDAir, but their cases looks cooler for me hehe

[Desire Accessories] Bart1981:
So what's the best screenprotector for the Desire? Many are mentioned, but which one is 'top notch'?
[Desire Accessories] n-j-f:
I agree. I particularly like the vertical pouch they do because of the fold down flap - here. The only thing I don't like about it is the belt clip in the picture. I've emailed to ask them if the clip is removable.

I've not seen anyone else do a pouch with a flap like that. If anyone knows different, please let me know.

Brando UltraClear have always been my favourite. They've just released them and mine is on its way to me now. :)
[Desire Accessories] nubbin:
I've just taken delivery of these screen protectors - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350307496565 - They are really excellent. Obviously you need to cut them down but that is very easy because they have the two layers of clear protector that you peel off to apply, so handling them is a doddle. Well recommended for the price.

and

http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct.aspx?product=6F5D970B-1ED3-47C8-8C56-D996DF1BA367

I like the first one, although wonder how much it will protect against a drop. I have dropped my HD with the suede case that came with it, and due to the coverage and hold, no part of the phone would stick out of the case. Which meant when dropped, no scratches....
[Desire Accessories] Raikaito:
What does the case look like with out it? as in any holes? etc? Can i see a picture thanks ^_^
[Desire Accessories] FloatingFatMan:
There will be two small holes left, and an indentation in the leather left by the plate. It also leaves an inner plate that you can't get out, but it'll be loose now so you can shake it down to the bottom.

I'll maybe post a pic later, if I remember. Not got the case with me at the moment.
[Desire Accessories] Raikaito:
Ah thanks, Hope to still see images but thanks the help so far. I currently have the case and cant decide to remove it or not. Thinking of a way to keep it maybe sticking something in side to give it more protection hmm
