eBay screen protector seller seems to have dropped the price to £2.95 which is a bit more reasonable. I thought they were a bit expensive at £4.95

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6-x-screen-protector...o-/270679639682

I got these today and they are very good. The fit is absolutely perfect and they seem to smear less with fingerprints than the actual screen.

Guys be careful when buying screen protectors. Many sellers are simply rebadging omnia protectors as ZTE blade ones. Yes, they do fit - but you could buy the omina ones for less.

Better yet, you could buy an actual zte blade protector.

For the actual ZTE protector above see this link:

Note that it ships from germany and so could take a while to get here!

Careful..not sure that these are 3-ply and so hard to fit without leaving air bubbles!!

The ones I linked to are 3-ply and an exact fit.

I'm not sure what 3-ply means but there were very easy to fit, just peal back the layers and place it on one end to the other. I've got no bubbles! =)

EDIT: I also say the same ebay seller selling these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Savvies-Crystal-Clea...=item2a0c91bbf0

Thats the same price, but only for one. I presume that means they are better quality? Havn't tried them though so don't warrent me on that one!

I had a set of omnia ones too but the actual blade ones are superior in coverage. They have a proper fit and curve at the bottom. They cover all the way down to the bottons meaning the whole black bit is covered!

In post 206 in this thread user gmc007 says the ones s/he ordered from the first seller are a perfect fit, in post 225 s/he confirms "if you look at the picture of mine you can see it has a curved bottom it fits perfect with just a cut out that goes around the speaker"

I have ordered from this company so will let you know when mine arrives. If they don't have a curved bottom I shall ask for a refund.

[Guest Pieniek]

I found something like this on my local auctioning service (Allegro, I'm from Poland):

It's called Gllaser MAX SuperClear. There is also Anti-Glare model.

It covers all the way from the top to bottom buttons :D I will buy it for sure, it's about 4USD for 2, and its very good quality, no glue.

I've ordered that one. At first it wasn't a fit so I emailed them and the second time around it was a perfect fit. Fitting them wasn't easy though, because it wasn't 3-ply.

That doesn't look like an i900 screen protector and it doesn't even look like the one in the eBay listing. I think the wrong ones were in the packet.

Here are the i900 ones I got off eBay

They measure 49mm wide and 90mm high and are a pretty much perfect fir for the San Francisco.

No, it was a different seller, Here is the link.

...and here it is applied to the phone

[Guest aermua]

thanks a lot mate and it certainly is a perfect fit, i,m sure i used the same seller as everyone else in here, i get on the seller and see what he says.

[Guest aermua]

anyone found a dedicated gel/silicone case for the handset yet?

still waiting for this, but looks like making the holes is going to be a pain for me

[Guest shpal]

I've ordered that one. At first it wasn't a fit so I emailed them and the second time around it was a perfect fit. Fitting them wasn't easy though, because it wasn't 3-ply.

Well, mine arrived this morning and it looks like this seller is a bit hit and miss. Mine are a perfect fit with a curved bottom and are 3 ply. Amazingly (for me) I managed to get it fitted perfectly first time. I use swype for my keyboard and also use gesture search a lot and both work fine with this protector. Very pleased.

To be honest if you get a Nokia E71 silicone case you don't actually "need" to make any additional modifications if you don't want to. There is already a hole in the right place for the micro USB connector & the headphone jack and there is a hole in the back for the camera. On mine I cut a hole where the power button is but only because I don't like pressing the button through the silicone case as I'm always afraid I'm pressing too hard and will end up breaking it. However this is only me probably being overly cautious. I also made a hole where the speaker is on the side of the phone, however this didn't appear to make any difference to the level or quality of the sound coming out so I wouldn't bother.

If you do decide that you want to modify the case though, it really isn't very difficult. A sharp knife and a good small pair of scissors and you'll be fine. Just put the phone in the case first and then use a fine tipped marker pen to mark on the silicone case where you want to cut and then remove the phone from the case and cut out where you have marked.

The problem is that if you don't put the phone in a case from new then the rubbery coating on the phone will start to wear and flake as others have reported on here and will quickly start to look a bit tatty.

Hopefully some proper ones will become available soon but in the meantime I really would suggest the E71 as a stop gap measure.

Bought this one:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002DBI...=cm_rdp_product

Fits the SF perfectly, leaves a perfect gap for the USB connection, the headphone jack also has a gap. The microphone also has its own hole which is surprisingly perfect. The volume controls are under the rubber casing, but have special buttons which just about seem OK. I shall take a picture later.

That would definatly cover the light and proximity sensors

You won't be able to see the screen while in a call

I received the same (incorrect) ones. Stupidly I left feedback before I attempted to fit them so it looks like I'm stuck with some useless screen protectors now.

[Guest aermua]

hi

you can send them back, but the cost of sending them back is not viable, but i think they are clearly the wrong ones, was it from the same seller?

@aermua

Send him a message with thie picture you took asking him to send you the right protectors for free.

If he refuses go to eBay Resolution Center and start a resolution process choosing I bought an item and I received an item that does not match the seller's description.

I bet that you won't have to go that far. He's going to mail you the right item free of charge, once you make it clear that you're determined.

I am told from this carbon fiber skin maker that

1. a perfectly fitted screen protector (exact earpiece hole, the curves on lower bottom) is due to be released next week

2. it will be in 4 different flavours (clear, matte/anti-glare, mirror and omni-angled (you can only view in straight-facing))

3. resin jelly case with corrected design will be available in 2 days

Meanwhile, just enjoy their video on YouTube first:
