Martin Fields Screen Protectors - P1i |

I've got one on my P1i, tremendous fit and so easy to apply - I have no bubbles underneath at all. However, because the protector is so thick I'm finding that pressing the screen near the edges requires quite a firm prod with the stylus. Using the scroll bars is a particular pain. Is anyone else suffering?
Also the camera lens protector that comes with the pack is rubbish! The edges are badly cut but worse than that, mine just won't stick to the lens. I've now binned it. Probably for the best as putting a film over a camera lens isn't the greatest tip for taking good photos. |

Have the same protector... looking good and about the lens cover. I don't even know if I put it on anymore. So either it's a perfect fit (there does seem to be something on the lens... I seem to be able to get my nail besides/beneath it) or I lost it...
About the sensiteveness... I think I have the same feeling too, but not as extreme as you put it. On the other hand, it doesn't surprise me at all but I've hardly used the phone without the cover so no real comparisons there for me.

I have no problems with either one of the protectors. The one for the camera lens is not as precisely cut as I might have wanted it to be. But hey, it does the job and was no problem to apply. As with all protectors you have to make sure the surface is completely clean before you apply them. I don't even notice either one of them anymore.

I don't notice the protector to look at but having used the phone without a protector for a few days I have noticed that the screen is way less sensitive. That's only to be expected I suppose but the scrolling arrows are a real pain because near to the edges of the screen the screen needs a firmer press anyway, more so with the protector on. |

It does require slightly more pressure with the protector on. The difference however is really very small. Atleast on my P1 it does not cause any usability issues.

Yes, in the middle of the screen I encounter no problems whatsoever. It's just the scrolling tabs I find hard to operate now. |

Weird. Mine is no different, edge or center.
I've got one more P1 coming in and a new set of Martin Fields to put on it. I'll try it out and see if mine is the exception.

I dont have any problems with both of mine... I agree the cam one isnt as nicely cut, but it stuck on fine and I have forgotten about both!
I do find it a bit difficult in the same way you do though... But i'm not sure if thats related to the screen protector as im just using my thumb and dont seem to have a problem when using the stylus...

I've had two, the first P1i was faulty (wifi didn't work) and I left the original SONY screen protector on that. On the replacement I fitted the Martin Fields protector and although it fits and looks superb, I do find the scroll tabs VERY hit and miss now. This is a particular pain when using the web browser. So I am used to these tabs being a lot easier to work with, I'm not just being pedantic. |

I believe he means the protector that comes with the phone, which you get with pretty much the majority of phones.
Edit: @sunking101, you already beat me to replying

Damn, can't seem to get the camera protector off! Either it's really tight and sticky or I really don't have put it on. Just want to check if I notice any difference in the cam with or without the thing.
It appears as if something is on the lens, if you people (without the camera protector) feel around the lens with a nail. Do you also feel something (like you can peel it off?). Before I ruin the phone |

Trust me, you would know if the lens protector was on. It is clear, thick and cut badly around the edges. If your lens looks smoked, smooth and lovely then I'd say you don't have a protector on. Besides, my Martin Fields lens protector dropped off, I didn't have to pull it. :- )
Best thing to do is put a piece of sticky tape, cellotape onto the lens and then pull it off again. The lens protector would come away with it.
