Waiting for the invisible shield for one x - HTC One X

does anyone know when will it release
It has been a week after one x is released.
i still have seen the one x is on the compatible product list of the invisible shield
anyone has any idea

email them

Haven't heard anything but is it needed? I dropped my Desire HD flat on a marble floor for instance and the scratches just wiped off, gorilla glass is fantastic, and with the One X it's Gorilla Glass 2 which I guess should be even better.

I too am waiting for a film-type protector rather than the normal screen protectors.

There is no scratch-proof material. Over time a lot of hairline scratches develop on any surface, especially if you keep the phone in your pocket all the time like I do; and I hate my gear looking worn.
The wife's Wildfire S (which has Gorilla Glass) has a couple of scratches on the screen already, most of them not bad with the backlight on but one is clearly visible so I don't believe the hype of GG... My Desire has a full body InvisibleShield on from day one and still looks pristine under it; not to mention the skin provides a great grip on the phone surface which saved me many times from dropping the phone accidentally.
I'm definitely ordering a full body Shield once I pick up my One X. It's well worth a few quids to keep my stuff looking great.

Skinomi is selling one for the One X. It's also a film-type screen protector. I have one on my Jetstream and I think it's better than invisible shield. It has a lot smoother surface.

Screen + Body Protector ?

I was trying to find screen protector for HTC aria and all i found is from ebay. Zagg invisible shield dont even have it yet
On the zagging you could order the hd mini and cut for the optical
being a user of zagg on previous phones i can't imagine it playing very nice with a touchscreen.
Screen + Protector?
Try Amazon.com the screen protector product is made by Amzer for the HTC Aria.
I am a new user so I can't post the link.
I just purchased the screen protector from AT&T and the edges on all 4 corners protrude ... when I put the back case back on it pushed each corner up.
Has anyone else had problems with the AT&T protectors?

Keep in mind that the Amzer protectors don't ship until 7/13 (according to their website).
Me? I'll probably go the HD Mini protector + hole punch DIY route that others are suggesting. Too many opportunities to scuff up my screen with kids in the house.

I have the same problem with the screen protectors I got when I bought my Aria. I will apply another one tomorrow and cut the edges before I apply.
Zagg are great for touch screen
I have been using Zagg's stuff on my old iPhone and my wife's iPhone and they worked great. I actually prefer the feel with the invisible shield applied. I am bummed that they don't have one that is designed for the Aria yet. Anyone actually tried the HD mini one with success?
I got the Amzer® Rubberized Black Snap On Crystal Hard Case for HTC Aria. It doesn't ship 'till 7/13, but that's only 2 weeks, so I can live with that. I got this case because it's like a soft/hard case, and I think that will work better than an all-hard or an all-soft case. Then I got a Gadget Guard screen protector. I was originally going to get an Amzer screen protector, but I read reviews saying Amzer's screen protectors are really bad. Hopefully, their cases will be okay. This is the only company so far I've seen that are making cases for HTC Aria. I didn't know what AT&T had because I bought mine at Best Buy. Btw, from Best Buy, you don't need to do the rebates, because they already include it in their price.
as for the screen protector i got a package of 4 universal screen protectors
from there I took a hole punch to make a whole for the optical button then applied the screen protector to the phone without the case and trimmed it with a razor blade.

Has anyone ever used the Phantom Skinz?
I briefly tried a Zagg Invisible Shield (invisible my ass) on my previous phone and it made the screen noticeably less clear and it was very hard to clean pocket lint off of it because it was so grippy.

I used to use them on all my blackberrys. You just dip them in water and apply it to your device. To me they all look the same, I would say that phantom is not as thick as zagg but performs just as well.
Does anyone have feedback on the zagg cover for the back of the aria? I am surprised that they even make it since its got a rubberized type coating. The screen protector is a must do, but the back I cant see for the aria.
Of course they come out with the specific cover days after I buy a different one and cut to fit. Dohhhhhhhhh!
Another thumbs up for Phantomskins. Easy ordering, fast shipping, easy installation.
For the first 24hrs or so, (Dry-ish california weather) the screen touch sensation is a bit grippy, but after a day or so it becomes slick again.
I ordered front only as I see no need to protect the back, and if there is a very nice case one day I will get that anyway. My immediate problem was protecting the glass front. So I ordered just the front skin, which covers the entire phone front as shown on the phantomskin website.
After drying, viewed at an angle the surface appears wavy but viewed straight on it is perfectly invisible. Skin fits aria perfectly.

HTC One X Screen Protector

Hi guys, recently I got two official HTC screen protectors which I applied terribly and removed. Could anyone kindly suggest a certain screen protector or other form of protection which is working well for them? I have the official HTC pouch and back cover too.

Thanks for telling me about film protectors, are they better than screen protectors, and if they are, in what way are they better?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Film protectors offer better protection & are less likely to peel off at the corners if caught.
Most film protectors actually take a bit of strength to remove.
They are not a dry application, (which I prefer), meaning a can constantly work st it to get it perfect.
Pushing out the water is a much easier way of removing bubbles than on a dry skin.
Films have self-healing technology whereas 'standard screen protectors' do not, this means if scratched - by tomorrow at the latest, that scratch is gone.
Either way, im waiting for a wet application protector, Skinomi have said they are waiting for the release date (not out in the states yet grrr)
I'll just have to be careful til then I think.
Although gorilla glass 2 should be fine without a screen protector, I'd feel a whole lot better with one!

It'll only take a small drop of water which will spread across the screen when the film is applied. As long as you're careful not to get water leak into the holes, there won't be any damage. Apply the drop of water closer to the bottom just in case, since the speaker grill and camera holes are at the top of the screen.
Usually, though, the protectors will come with a 'installation solution' in a convenient, spray-bottle.

i used the HTC ones and put it on perfect no problem, only reason its a little tricky is that it only has one tab and not one each side :/ but then i got a replacement x and didn't do the second one so well but meh i can get more at a latter date
This is a great screen, even better than my SG2.
I never put one on my SG2 and had no major issues with scratches on the display.
I have used my HTC One X now for almost two weeks now, with no screen protector and there is not a single blemish on my screen.
I won't be putting any screen protector on my device, as they always distract from the full experience of the display, IMO!
You can put one on if you like, but you don't need one on this device.
I picked up a One X yesterday from the T-Mobile store and today noticed it had like two tramline scratches across the screen..you can feel them if you run your fingernail over them....although the phone was of course sold as new, the sim removal tool was detached from the plastic and there was fingermarks on the glass underneath the plastic cover they put on them.
Thankfully T-Mobile are sending a replacement on Tues as it also keeps jamming up...back to using my Sensation XE for a bit. Hopefully as they asking for the entire box back they will be sending out a new phone and not a refurb, if they exist yet.
Only thing I can think is a faulty return handset made it into the new stock by mistake.
Still curious how you could mark the glass in this way though !

Yup, Gorilla Glass is harder to scratch, but by no means impossible, and can possibly still be scratched fairly easily. Coming from another device with GG (and hearing reports on other GG phones that I don't own), there have been plenty of people reporting scratching GG with normal use; while others claim pristine GG even after significant abuse and drops.
To each his own, its a matter of how much you prefer the bareback look and feel, versus having some protection. But to me, a good quality screen protector has very little change in feel, little or no change in the look; and its better to have the protection rather than end up with permanent scratches and regret. Good screen protectors also don't build up fingerprint smudges as easily as bare glass.

I'm using mumbi CrystalClear over here and it does a pretty well job. Though it looks like the protector is too small for the screen, you quickly learn that it has to be this way because the display is curved at the edges.
Love it or not, I guess most display protectors will look like this

No, wet application screen protectors wil cover everything.
It's similar to the Galaxy Nexus with the curved glass, only wet application ones will keep all the edges etc...smooth and perfect.
And yea, to people who think that just because it's gorilla glass it's not going to scratch. A tiny grain of sand is enough to give it an annoying blemish. You don't need a case IMO, but a screen protector is always a must.
They have it available now..

I just ordered mine, best looking screen protectors out there imo..now if I could just get that dreaded sim card issue fixed.
Can you recommend some screen protector without sticky surface? I bought cheap Insmat dry application protector, but it's not a perfect fit. A bit too large so sides won't stick and hard to get bubbles away. I would also like to have more slippy surface..

Invisible Shield HD by Zagg for HTC One X

I know that many people have been saying that they wouldn't be getting screen protectors. I, being very paranoid, had to get one to protect my screen. I had been using the phone without anything on the screen for a month, but still wanted a shield. I went to Best Buy yesterday, an purchased the shield, an it isn't like the others. The older invisible shields had a feel and look to them that you could tell it was there. This new Invisible Shield HD, however, is literally like nothing is there. The screen looks and feels the exact same as it did before I bought it, but is much stronger. So those of you that weren't planning on getting a screen protector, take a look at this Invisible Shield HD, you won't be dissapointed.

Which one did you get? the regular or the case friendly?
There's more than one? I got the screen only one, I know there was also the full body one.
Sent from my HTC One X
The "case friendly" version is the Zagg HD. It also has other added benefits like being nearly invisible, thinner, and will zero orange peel effect. The other one is the regular Zagg, covering the full front of the device, but not made of the same glass like surface so it will feel rubbery and definitely be visible.

Its really hard to tell that it isn't edge to edge. If it gets dirty, then you can see a small bit of dust, but that can be fixed with a wipe.

The first question you should be asking is whether you need a screen protector for this phone...HOX comes with gorilla glass which can resist scratches and other atrocities better than any screen protector in the market...so why spend money on such things..besides a screen protector makes the screen look even worse..

Look around in some of the previous screen protector threads. Many users have reported getting small scratches on the screen. Therefore I think a screen protector is essential. Screen protectors can degrade the quality a little, but clear type ones do not take that much away. I am a big fan of matte screen protectors (they are the worst in terms of screen quality degradation) but what good is a screen if its filled with finger prints and cant read under glare ? I personally prefer a legible clean screen over a sharper smudgy one. So quality is a highly subjective matter. Unfortunately I didn’t come across a wet install type matte screen protector yet, so I went with a clear type one. To my surprise it does quite well repelling fingerprints. Better than not having one.

Scratching and breaking are two different things. I'm sure the screen is pretty tough, but that doesnt mean its scratch proof.
@OP
Most regular (dry install) type screen protectors wont fit properly with the curved edges of One X, therefore some manufacturers (i.e: SGP) make them much smaller than the actual screen size; but the problem is then you can clearly see the edge of the protector. I’d recommend a wet install type instead, they usually go right to the edge and don’t cause bubbling. I am using this. Its pretty good for the price.

Gorilla glass is NOT scratch proof is scratch resistant, and it can be scratached: my motorola milestone , my inspire 4g had gorilla glass and trust they got scratched, even my galaxy s ii got some tiny scratches, and i have read tons of reports of the one x gettin micro scratches so id like an screen protector

Oh no, i had a protector smaller than the screen of my galaxy nexus and it had so much dirt on the borders, i will make sure to get one that covers the whole screen
Ive done a bit more reasearch, the ZAGG HD is sold ONLY through bestbuy , and the sgp protectors for the one x are only dry applications, not wet but what-s the difference between the flex and the oleophobic?
oleophobic resists the oil from your hands and is supposed to smudge less. You can get zagg HD from their web site cheaper than what you can buy them for at best buy. I ordered the Spigen slim case for mine and it came with an oleophobic screen protector. It was easy to apply but I happen to like SPG's screen protectors.
Which one covers the whole screen and is hardest to tell that it Its there. Also one that gives most protection

It's not the same, it's 'a little bit' more tacky & less smooth compared to BSE, im not sure if skinomi have fixed the speckled glue issue either.

Using skinomi currently love the feel of screen protector. Just the ugly micro bubbles that are still present make me do not want to switch off the screen. (not visible when screen on)

How does it feel compared to glass?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Its rubbery feeling which seems to be more accurate then glass. Although I can't describe it fully here

Bestskinsever is by far the best I've ever seen or used. Easy to install, cheap and it looks freaking fantstic!
Had mine on for a few month and it looks just as good as day one. No rainbow, orange peel, microbubbles or anything.

Using protectors from this company for very long time. Always happy. And they are cheap

Ive bought both a BSE and a SGP screen protector. will apply the sgp firs since the case im going to use only shows the screen. so looks like it will be the best for that and the BSE for when i decide to go caseless

Which screen protector to buy?

I'm planning to buy a screen protector for my moto x, which one should I buy?
i-Blason Premium HD Clear or ArmorSuit MilitaryShield?
I picked up the non-glare film set off the Motorola website. I think they're made by Power Support. Fits the phone nice, went on with no bubbles. I'm extremely happy with it.

Power Support for sure. Best screen protector I've ever used.
Or the screen protector that comes stuck on the phone with the white corner tab :laugh:

I left that until my xtremeguard protector arrived (I had to import it from the US because in México I couldn't find anything for the x) and after one week it looked like the phone was in a knife fight.
I'm using xtremeguard and it feels nice and isn't expensive (bought it on eBay).

I give the ArmorSuit a big meh. After a 5 days I'm starting to see orange peel around the edges and its still pretty tacky. I like it better than a Zagg, but still not a big fan.
iSmooth screen protectors are inexpensive with a lifetime warranty, even if it's bad install they replace them. You get 3 in a pack with a very nice size micro fiber cloth. Amazon has them on sale for under $10.

Verizon screen protector for Moto X

I went to Best Buy and purchased a Zagg and had the sales associate install it. I waited around while it was installed but was not able to really inspect it because I had to quickly leave and get back to the office. When I was able to really check it out, the Zagg had many air bubbles....large bubbles, not the small-ish ones that dry out and go away. And, there was dirt and dust under the Zagg. Plus, the Moto X Zagg does not cover the entire screen, it has a relatively large border on all sides. I returned the Zagg, got a complete refund, and went to the Verizon store down the street. I purchased the screen protector Verizon sells, used my corporate discount, and they even installed it for free. I must admit, I was very skeptical about the Verizon screen protector, only planned to use it while I read the XDA forums and reviews for Moto X screen protectors, but the Verizon one is holding up very nicely. The Verizon sales associate who did the install laughed when I told her about the bad install that Best Buy did, and she told me she was an expert, and I have to agree. She cleaned the device, used tape to remove dirt and dust and aligned the screen protector perfectly. Cheap, free install and looks great. Win!
Don't buy BoxWave!
I would recommend NOT buying BoxWave screen protectors for Moto X. I got some for my Galaxy Nexus last year and they were too narrow, but I never returned them. When I got a Nexus 5 here to test I used them temporarily and loved the feel, so I decided to give them a try for the Moto X. They don't fit right. If you line up the hole for the mic, the top part covers the earpiece and camera; if you line up the top, the mic is covered. Here's a link to my "customer image" uploaded to Amazon.

I got the Power Support ones from Motorola when I ordered my Moto X, and I love it. I tried the iSmooth protector from Amazon on my wife's Moto X yesterday, and it sucks. It went on fine and looks good, but it is "sticky" when I slide my finger across the screen. We both tried it along side mine, and the Power Support is definitely slicker and easier to move a finger across. I removed the iSmooth from hers and used the second Power Support one that came with my order.

It takes a little while for the stickiness to go away. I had an ismooth protetector on my nexus and it was good.

I have never NOT used one, but I have had to replace them eventually because they got scratched and scuffed. But my screen did not. I have to assume that had I not had the screen protector on, the screen would have been the thing that was scratched and scuffed, and that I would have been able to do anything about it.

I never had a screen protector on my OG Droid, and never had a problem. When it became dirty with skin oil and whatever else stuck to it, I would get my finger wet, moisten the entire screen, then wipe it with a cotton cloth. In two years I never got any noticeable scratches on the screen. It was never in a case either, and I even dropped it a few times onto carpet-covered concrete floors from up to 6 feet high, and it never suffered any real damage other than a scratch on the bezel. When it wasn't in use, it was always in a holster - never in my pocket with other things that might scratch it.
That said, I would NEVER go without screen protector or a protective case again.

I am currently using a XT860 on AT&T and have never had a screen protector on it, and never had a problem. I am just trying to figure out if over the time people have had the Moto X they came to see a need for the SP or not.

I might have to try that one. I tried the xtremeguard and it is soft and gummy. My cheapo one of Amazon is better, but doesn't cover the greatest and is a fingerprint magnet.

I have to say, I think it is the best screen protector I have ever used, at least in terms of how it looks and feels. I can't speak to the long-term durability yet, since I have only had it for a few weeks. But it is definitely nice to use.
I like the PowerSupport (Brilliant at least) too. It's pricey, even with the 30% off accessory discount Motorola had, but it's a quality SP. This is Made in Japan. You get two SPs and some dust removal accessories in the package. I didn't need to use them since I went directly from factory SP to the PS SP.
The SP itself is very smooth in feel and glide; not quite glass, but very close. I like the way it feels. The PS Brilliant does show fingerprints but it's not horrible in that regard. The underlying screen's picture quality is still Brilliant as the name implies.
My only nitpick is an aesthetic one: the cutout on the top is not symmetrical (left and right of the center earpiece), but I can give them a pass on that due to the sensors in the top left complicating things.
Is it the best SP for the moto x? I don't know; I am not a SP aficionado and it's the only one I've tried on the X, but I do know I am happy with it.

Depends what you do with your phone. Every phone I've had has been in an otter box with holster.... Or seidio and holster on my s2....So I don't use screen protectors. I had one long ago and it was scratched up quick. Ever since I go without. My s2 after 2 years.... And working construction with my phone always with me.... Had one small scratch that wasn't even noticeable with the screen on. Again tho... My phones are in a holster... So the screen has awesome protection already. And my dirty hands and fingers have never scratched my screens.
My Moto X is now in an otter box defender... But I removed the built in screen protector from the defender... It really made it harder to touch things on the screen. So again... No screen protector now.
If I kept my phone in my pocket, I'd probably use a screen protector. But I'd miss the naked screen feel.
