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.

I too tried the official ones & wasn't happy.
Sides would not stick.
I'm waiting for a film protector, such as..
Skinomi techskin
Phantomskinz
Bodyguardz
Zagg invisibleshield

None are available yet for HTC ONE X

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.

Skinomi is now shipping, I have one on now. Ahhh, feels so much better, Gorilla Glass or no....
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..
Ive had bad experiences with screen protectors in the past with my galaxy nexus, ive had a XO Skins protector which had rainbow effect and orange peeling, a SGP Steinhel Flex but it had horrible orange peeling, which is your favorite screen protector? ive heard wonders about Zagg's HD Case Friendly.Wwhat do you think?

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.
The main difference is thickness, skinomi is thicker.

Dear All,
After fitting a genuine HTC screen protector to my One X and being dissappointed that it didn't completely fit the screen. I am again in the hunt for a screen protector. I know the One X has Gorilla Glass 2, but with the mixed reviews, I'm unsure if the screen will scratch or not??..
With that said, can some recommend me a screen cover that entirely covers the whole screen of the OneX?
BTW I have a genuine HTC 700 clear case.
Your help and assistance is greatly appreciated.
Winny :fingers-crossed:
The SGP oleo screen protector is not an exact fit but I don't really notice that it is a tad bit small. The screen and buttons are protected and that's what counts.
Oh and it feels as smooth as the original screen.

Hi all,
I got my OP2 Yesterday!
I looked on amazon for some accessories. When i looked my phone a bit closer it looks like there already is a screenprotector on the display.
Someone else discovered that?
Thx.
Yep, they started with this with the OPO and carried it on with the 2
Yup, also got me thinking could I just slap a tempered protector over the top and have double protection lol
A number of people have been removing it thinking it's just transportation protection, it is a fingerprint magnet though.
yes
yes it has. and very well applied, that you can not notice it.
Yes, and it was scratched within a couple of days for me. I was gonna replace with the cheapest one I could find, which strangely enough was a tempered glass one form amazon.
I just replaced mine with an Orzly tempered glass SP and I'm quite impressed tbh
Just swapped it for a tempered glass one and the difference is huge, so much smoother and clearer with proper colours being shown. Yellow tinge has gone as well and screen is alot crisper

Thats what I thought too
But I had my tempered glass one ready before getting my OPT so I just installed it right away.
i have buy tempered glass from ebay and now i thinking don't want to install it until original protector is working
Yes OP2 has built in screen guard confirmed by company itself. no need to go for screen guard except if we want tampered screen
When I replaced mine for a tempered glass product the first thing I noticed is the quality difference. If your gonna spend lots of money on a phone then your gonna want to protect the screen. Saying that you can get away with stock screen protector if you have a leather flip case and your careful. I actually only replaced mine today because I purchased a bugdroid case from Amazon which by the way looks awesome. Anyway I hope this helps.

I replaced the original screen protector with a tempered glass one because it was too fingerprint-y. The nice thing is this was the first time that I've been able to apply a screen protector with absolutely no bubbles or dust stuck underneath. Having the original protector on makes it such a clean slate for applying a new one.
It comes with a screen protector on it. Just remove it and get a tempered glass protector it's better

Ya its just a normal plastic one. I kept mine on until my orzly tempered glass came.

hi guys,
i installed the tempered glas on my opt but there is a huge problem with my case.
i am using the Diztronic Full Matte Slim-Fit Flexible TPU
(http://www.amazon.de/OnePlus-Diztro...6102870&sr=8-2&keywords=diztronic+oneplus+two)
the case just swap the tempered glas of the phone (the edge from the case is at the same high as the screen protector so sometime it lift it up)
now my question the original silicone case from oneplus has the same problem?
does anyone use it ? is it good or not? how is the edge, is the screen secured from the case or does it end at the screen ? and does anyone have problems with screen protector?
thanks
and best regards

Is it smooth and don't attract fingerprints,
