This may be the wrong forum because my phone doesn't look like the icon for this board - if so, please could someone direct me towards the correct forum? My phone is an XDA Orbit.
Anyway, it came with a screen protector - which was a nice touch. The only problem is it's pretty poor (still better than nothing, mind). Can anyone suggest where, in the UK, to get a good one? I think I've used a Martin Fields one before and a Writeshield, but I can't remember how I liked either one since I don't remember which was which!
So, where can I get a good screen protector for an XDA Orbit in the UK?
I ordered mine over the net from Brando. It takes a while to arrive but the quality is good. I've got one each for my Charmer and Wizard, they ought to have one for your Orbit. It cost approx £7 (I think) including P&P.
Seach for the forum topic on screen protector and you'll get lovely recommendation from other members. There is another brand of srn pro that is heavily recommended by the members as well, not sure if you can get it in UK.
You can try eBay also if you want it fast. Just make sure you get the brand name right.
So Brando is an okay place for buying stuff in the UK then? Also, I suppose my main worry is that the XDA Orbit is the same screen dimensions the Artemis - I don't really understand, are they the same phone with a different shell? Is the Orbit a P3300?
The orbit is the HTC P3300 and you can also find screen protectors at gpsforless.co.uk

Well, I haven't really bought 1,000 stuff from Brando yet, but from my 2 experience with them, they are good in terms of speed (considering the process of it getting from HK to UK), packaging and quality of their product. I dont have an Orbit, but if you (and epmulligan) can confirmed that an Orbit is a P3300, then this ought to do the job . Dont worry about the picture showing you the Palm PPC. Check the words under the description on the compatible devices when ordering.
ANYWAY, chances are, if you were to buy a screen protector for a 240x320 device made by the same company, chances are, the size should be alright (e.g. chances are, the manufacturer will be using the same screen all over).
BTW, did you search the forum for other advises. There are some other brand which the members here also recommended. See if they have Orbit specific ones and probably UK delivery.
UPDATE: I had a look at the screen protector offered at gpsforless for Orbit, which is a 12 pack for £5.99. I've tried some similar 3 pack set from someone from ebay and the quality is REALLY different. Hence, I would advise you not to get it from there.
Thanks for the advice guys, very helpful.
If you don't mind waiting a few days for delivery from the USA the Boxwave Cleartouch Crystal is second to none. I used these on my XDA2i and now on my Orbit.
http://www.boxwave.com/products/cle...h-crystal-screen-protector-htc-p3300_2421.htm
I got mine from this ebay seller dx_accessories
He sells the multi layer stuff and I can confirm it does work. Two main differences from the O2 supplied protector. 1, the top layer is much harder and much more resistant to scratch. It is also smooth (glossy finish) and the stylus glides over it with ease (not the case with the O2 protector). 2, the so-called 'gel' layer that adheres itself to the screen works brilliantly. It left zero air bubble with very small effort. I spent 15 mins getting dust and air bubble out of the O2, this I spent 1 min getting the screen squeaky clean and it sticks on to it perfectly. The size is also perfect, leaving no more than 0.3 mm to any side.
The only problem I have is the glossy finish, making the screen a bit more difficult to see under strong light. I own a Wizard and had a similar protector for similar price but with a matte finish like a normal LCD monitor.
It comes with a screen wipe which is handy. I won't complain for GBP4 all in.

Looked for him and it apears he has nothing at all on sale at all at the moment.
I remembered where I got my writeshield from - globalpositioningsystems.co.uk so I spoke to them on the phone, found the one for the Orbit and ordered it. I just figured I'd stick with what I know because I was satisfied with it before. The main reason I chose this was because the guy on the phone could guarantee me it would fit the device.
I bought mine at http://search.stores.ebay.es/DuraSe...sooZ1QQfsopZ1QQftsZ2QQsaselZ136025443QQsofpZ0
Very quick and impressive quality.
Regards
It turns out the person I spoke to at globalpositioningsystems.co.uk was wrong. The writeshield they told me to get is too big...

I bought an XDA Executive a few months ago, after 10 days the case fell apart (bad stitching) after contacting O2 they said they don't and can't supply a new case and that i'd have to search the net for one less than £15 and send them the bill :/
None that i've seen so far seem to be very useful or look reasonable, i'd really prefer an original (more of a pouch without having to undo things to get it out of the case each time) but i haven't been able to locate an original anywhere yet.
Has anyone come across one or have a new original from O2 that may be for sale?
Surely as the package was bought from O2 with a guarantee then the onus should be on O2 to replace it.
I'd go back to O2 and push on it because it sounds like they're giving you the fob off.
That was having spoken to a supervisor (don't know what they supervised though).
I got myself one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/XDA-Exec-iMat...845608818QQcategoryZ57253QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Really pleased with it, a good alternative to what you are after.
I'm quite fussy with the style, don't like the buckle over the top, i thought the O2 one was ideal, shame they're being awkward about it.
I've been looking at the:
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=125869
and
http://www.covertecstore.com/search/search_type.asp?menu=smart&ref_machine=IMATEJASJ#1
The expansys one looks quite nice, but does anyone happen to have one and could give a review and some pictures of it from all angles, specifically the back as the site doesn't display any and it mentions having a belt clip which i'd rather not have but wonder how bad the attachment is on the back if i don't have it on (if it is on the back of course)
Althernatively the covertec one looks very handy for the being able to see the incoming calls with the screen at the front, belt clip attachment doesn't look too obvious / obstructive either.
So anyone who has either could you provide some information / close up photographs?
Thanks
I have just ordered the covertec case so will report back once it has arrived.
I bought a case from Piel Frama (the new model), and I'm very happy with it
http://www.pielframa.com/menu_qtek_9000.htm
I have many of this for sale. Please search for my username, chaiwat_t, if this item number has been sold. It got a good review in my country so hope you like it.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Silicone-Case-O...864428709QQcategoryZ48673QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I'm interested - are there any published reviews?
So am I. I'm curious what the white version looks like. Any pics?
They have it here : http://www.boxwave.com/products/flexiskin/flexiskin-qtek-9000_722.htm
In 5 different colors for 27.95$. Can everyone with experience in silicon cases comment about it being a dust hugger? I heard it gets dirty easily but i don't have personal experience.
If it is that bad (the dust) how come they still sell?
I am using one myself for my SPV M5000 and it's not a dust hugger. Anyway, it's normal that if you use the black color, you'll notice the dust easier. It's the same for everything in black color, I think.
I've not seen any reviews yet but you can ask tho who had bought it from me (via eBay).
It makes my life less heavy as other cases make this giant like a big brick while this siliconse case just adds a litte weight to it.
I'll be doing a review soon. And the alumium grey is the best one as far as Jasjar's are concerned as i was told the skin blends very well with the original color.
If you have an exec, then i suggest you go for the clear version, thats your best bet.
Docc.

How much are you selling them with shipping to Madrid, Spain included? In €uros preferably.
I've never used ebay. Where is your link? Thanks
Hi,
I ordered one from ebay and it cost me 24 euros including postage.

Can you please post the link to the seller? Also is that 24€ international postage? I live in Madrid, Spain
I used the link in the first post. Check it out .You have to pay in advance with paypal. I paid 24 euros and am waiting for the delivery (tony_ix: any idea how long that'll take?). This includes postage to the Netherlands (price is GBP 9,49 and 5,99 postage: is about E24) . If I'm wrong, I'm sure tony_ix can give some more info, since he's selling them.
Please do let us know how it fits. One concern of mine is that some of the cut outs might not correspond to the actual holes. If you could possibly post some pictures, that would be very nice.
Yes, that's true. The photos on the boxwave site show that the videocam hole is not exactly in line
For more photos...
http://www.pda4thai.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1333
There is no issue of cutouts not correspond to the actual holes.
ng, I have no picture of the unit with the white color at the moment. From the items sold, the black color is the most popular.
Is there anyway of getting one of these without using ebay or paypal?
Hi,
When I get this case, I won't be able to be of any use as to how the case will fit, since I don't have my device yet . I still have to wait some time before the end of my subscription before I can go get the universal. I bougth this case in eager anticipation. I thought the price was right and figured that by the time I get my device, they would be sold out.
So you'll just have to make do with the pictures online. Based on the pictures I expect it to fit well, also with the cut-outs. I was also not too fond of the flexiskin pictures showing the holes out of allignment. I do hope it will color ok, since I'm going to get the silver mda pro, but I that's just esthaetics.
I was wondering: based on the pictures of this silicone case, would it be of any help in the "keyboard marks" issue, since the case will add an extra strip around the border of the keyboard. This is pure speculation ofcourse, but an optimistic one. Any thoughts?
N
Regarding the keyboard scratchs, i wonder the same thing, any ownser of this skin care to comment?
Riceburner,
Please email me if you want to try paying in another way.
About the keyboard, I think if the skin covers the keyboard, then you'll find it hard to see the alphabet on it and that is pain. I like it to have the cutout for the keyboard.

Yes, but is it thick enough (the case) that the screen part doesn't touch the keyboard? Check this forum for xda exec case marks and you'll see what i mean. The upper part of the device (which is where the screen is) has shiny "dots" that correspond to the keys as they rub against eachother. Normally only the upper part of the screen. Just want to know if the "frame" of the silicon case is thick enough to prevent this to happen as there are a lot of people with the device for more than a month that have seen this symptom
its amazing... the screen is not touching the keyboard
the material feels very soft and strong at the same time
i did not expect it to be so perfect it fits like a glove
if yu guys want any particular fotos pls pm me and i'll try my best to provide
i would recomd this case to any one using the universal...
as i have the jasjar it looks a bit weird because it does not cover the hinge on the outside otherwise excellent case

www.gpsmidlands.co.uk. Prices very good replaced my screen while I waited
www.pocketpctech.com did a great job on my iPaq 4150 also got the RAM upgrade, fantastic!
I can't stress enough how good screen protectors are. HTC should think about putting them in the box with new phones if you ask me.

That is actually a very good idea, should be a standard accessory for any touchscreen PDA/Phone.
LCD Replacement.
The biggest issue with DIY LCD replacement is that some of the panels vary within the same model.. eg Dopod 838Pro panels seem to be different within the one model!
We've been selling the LCD / Touchscreen kits now for a while (with tools)
http://store.pressdigital.com.au/dopod-838pro-imate-jasjam-replacement-touchscreen-p-4715.html
but find they only work on the newer units.
.. Make sure you get an LCD WITH touchscreen if you're going to DIY it.. They're too hard to get the alignment perfect otherwise..
Good luck

I agree with you guys entirely that screen protectors are great, though I don't think that you'd get something much better than a cheapy from the manufacturer, which is not much better than gladwrap (tm). Dopod ones aren't too bad, but still. Most of your "buy 20 Belkin (or similar) ones for $20" aren't much better. If you're looking, buy Martin Fields screen protectors - they are GOLD!! Sure, $40 for 2 is more expensive, but they'll EASILY outlast your PDA!! The MF ones are made from some NASA-developed rubber or something and are awesome. We've been selling them for ages - http://store.pressdigital.com.au/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=martin+fields&osCsid=6f1194088498df6629265ce05a116c08&x=0&y=0 - and, if you're wanting to not have to worry about major upgrades, this is the key. But, as Andy said, if you're going to buy a screen, you'd be some kind of fool not to get one with the touch attached, 'cause it's just way too much stuffing around- if you get it right at all, which few do!
Hope it gets sorted out quickly for you!

Screen protector
Hi guys
When I bought my Tytn, I had a screen protector with it, but please don’t use it, I will not use it to protect a nokia 3310 screen , it’s a verrrrrrrrrrrry bad quality of screen protector.
Eboo
I damaged my brand new HTC Eris digitizer, and got a replacement from RepairsUniverse.com
They do all the HTC replacements here - RepairsUniverse.com/htc-replacement-parts.html
My new Eris touch screen arrived in quick time with instructions and only took me around 15 minutes to repair my phone.
Hi all,
I'm pleased to announce the availability of replacement casings for the HTC Prophet (I-mate JamIn, Qtek S200, XDA Neo or dopod 818pro), in a range of colours (light grey, dark grey, blue, black, pink ... see the attached photo).
So, if your Prophet has been damaged, or you are just looking for a change of style, feel free to PM me. The faceplates (front, camera and battery panel) are ONLY US$15 plus shipping (the delivery cost depends where in the world you want it shipped to). Your Prophet will look like new!
The complete case (front, battery, camera panels, mid section, buttons, and windows sticker) are US$30 plus shipping. The stylus and front button panel are sold separately.
I can also offer replacement batteries, chargers, screen protectors etc. Let me know what you need and I'll see what I can do.

Can you post better pictures?
Are they brand new?
Do they have carriers branding?
And your web site's address is ?
I need one!
Very interested...
Does it include the following:
front plate
mid section
back plate
battery cover
keypad
I would like to have stylus too...
How much would all these cost?
Can you post better pictures?

I don't have a website address just yet. I should have one up and running within the next two weeks.
The website will offer just about every replacement part available for just about every pda / mobile phone. However, it will take quite a long time to get all the inventory onto the site. I'll let you know as soon as it's operational.
EDIT: new website address is http://www.phoneystore.com

The model shown in the picture only has the front and back panels (includes the battery cover / camera area). If you would also like a mid section, a stylus and a keypad, it will cost $20. I have attached a picture but it's not very clear, so I will upload a new one in a day or so.
These covers are not sold as the "genuine" brand covers, however they are usually made in the same factory. All products are checked before they are shipped to ensure they are good quality.
1. Are they made of the same material as the original cover? (hard metal)
2. Do you accept Paypal? How's the payment done?
3. What will it cost for shipping to norway (europe)?
Do you have a white one? non silvered. I mean, something like apple.
Yeah, what is the paying method?
THANKS!

well, mine is made from metal too
The front on mine is metal, cause I have dropped it and it is dented, and I managed to bend it back somewhat. The battery cover is plastic. I am not sure about the camera cover, I think it is plastic and some pain chip is wearing off. So seller, could you clearify:
Front piece is metal or plastic.
Does the $15 set include the chrome parts? (the 2 circle on back, front speaker, and 2mp lettering on back).
What is the price for the keypad, and what color choice do you have for them. I've seen silver ones, black with one chrome button, black with 3 chrome buttons.
If you could edit your first post to clarify, would be helpful thanks. I am also looking for the no carrier logo/lettering covers.
Yes, my Qtek S200 front panel is definitely metal.
The photo you post for the front, mid, back, battery cover plus stylus seems to be for O2 xda II mini/Qtek S100/htc Magician/imate Jam... Please confirm that you also have the same package fit for O2 xda Neo/Qtek S200/htc prophet/imate Jamin.
What would be the shipping cost to Hamilton, New Zealand?

I have updated the first post with additional photos.
You were right. The front plate is metal, but the backing plates are plastic. The $15 set includes the chrome plating on the camera etc.
The $20 set is basically the same as the $15 set but includes a stylus and is in a nicer box.
I checked with the supplier and a full case is available (see first post) including front and back plates, stylus, buttons (camera, power, volume, comm manager, front panel with three chrome buttons), windows mobile sticker for the back. However it is more expensive. US $30 for the set.

You're right. The photo is for the XDA II, however I also have the same pack for the Neo/S200/Prophet/Jamin. If you don't need the stylus, the $15 face plates are better value.
I also have a cool stylus available. It's a stylus with a pen inside (the tip of the stylus unscrews to reveal the pen). Is quite useful when you can't find a pen around. It's US $7 (picture attached).
Postage to New Zealand (and almost all destinations) is US $8. The postage is only ever higher if you live in hard to reach places.
I just purchased a back cover for my Z3C and noticed that it covers the camera lens too. That's a nice feature considering so many have scratched their lenses.
And it goes without saying, I DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY! Just trying to share the deal I got.
http://www.xtremeguard.com/
I got in on this for another phone but didn't see anything for the z3c, otherwise i would have ordered something for the back
Guess my brain wasn't working that day, just found it. This will be perfect for the back plus better grip. Ive used these in the past with great results
thanks for sharing! just ordered one too!
does it fit with devilcase?
I don't see why it wouldn't. It's just a thin piece of tpu
Sent from my Xperia Z3 Compact
Nice!

These were so cheap, I purchased two of them. I've noticed that these films tend to yellow over time, and it really shows on a white phone.

I hope not, I really like their protectors; mainly for the back. However they do need to work on the yellowing issue as you mentioned.
Also they just came out with their spartan glass screen protectors. Really hard to say, what's going on but I'm not complaining
Will have to stock up on a few items just in case
Edit: Just went to their page and saw that they now offer lifetime warranty on their protectors, granted most will update at least every 2 years I imagine. So the warranty is kind of pointless; good marketing scheme though. Also looks like they are starting to offer more products overall. So I'm not sure why the low prices, maybe to stay competitive?
EDIT 2: maybe you are right, just reread the email and says "*Limited quantities are available in tempered glass and other accessories by XtremeGuard. These products will only be available while supplies last"
Sorry to double post but wanted this separate from my last post.
I believe this code is good for more than 1 use; so anyone wanting to use it on the site is more than welcome. I just ordered a bunch of protectors, etc for various devices we have.
price comes out to dirt cheap.
91% off 2-15 items storewide: BEACH91 enjoy! At this price, you can't go wrong
otherwise they still have their summer80 off.
