I just took delivery of one of the DOML screen protectors and what do I go and do? Stick my bloody finger right in the middle of the sticky bit...
I saw on the website that these things are washable - does anyone have any experiece of this? |

LOL - So I wasnt the only muppet to have done this.
Got my Brando protector in yesterday. Took my time cleaning my screen thoroughly. carefully removed the Brando packaging. And then, as I was peeling the backing I went and put my fingers on the sticky bit - next thing i know, theres bits of fluff, cloth, grease, flys, cows, tigers etc stuck on too!!!
So, I too will have to get some soapy water to clean that thing.
Does anyone know of any shops in London where I can just walk in and pick up a Brando or that new screen protector which is supposed to be better than Brando (what's it called???) |

LOL @Scouser
Don't even get me started on using the Brando Screen protector.
A few months ago I think I started a thread about how you had to put it on your p800 by renting out a sterile vacuum enclosed lab with anti dust proof walls while wearing a full bio suit.

I wouldn't want to put something sticky on my P800. What if it wont come off properly and suddenlöy I got sticky bits all over it!! Man that'd be hell to clean.

l think the non sticky side is washble. Not the sticky side it should loose its stickness because the opposite hapening makes no sense to me!
Any one know how to take of the overlay? mine wont even budge! I advise you to use the sticky tape technique makes sense.

Be very carefull when cleaning your brando, I cleaned mine and now it has two marks on it, this is where the front layer is starting to peel off. Locations of places in the UK where we can get the brando or overlay protectors would be usefull. So if anyone knows of anywhere to get them from in the UK please list them.

Sounds like you need a screen protector for the Brando then.

The things are impossible to cleanly afix. I sat in a chair with Brando+p800 and a ball of tape for like 3 hours, sticking my fingers, cat fur, grease... Finally got it on with an acceptable 3 or 4 bits of floaters eternally trapped. Next time I'll try to get a ride on a Soyuz rocket and put it on in orbit. I have heard that putting it on outside increases your chances of getting a clean fix.
I wouldn't use water+soap. I've heard it does indeed kill the sticky quality. The insert in the Brando even implies that you should only resort to 'washing' if there's serious grime there - pen ink, roach poo, etc. The rest of the time you should go with tape.
It's worth the trouble, especially if you use Jot often. I started getting scratches only a few days after getting the phone. I have an iPaq that's scratched to hell... |

I’ve taken mine off several times to clean it and its still fine.
To remove it I take of the plate at the bottom of the P800 the one that you change if you want the flip on/off (personally for me I have if off…) anyway, talk this panel off and use a pen knife or razor blade to lift the brando. It is not sticky as such so it leaves NO marks on the P800 screen, I then clean both sides with warm soapy water then dry with a lint free cloth, I wipe the screen with the same cloth to get rid of the dust from that I then (and here is the clever bit) quickly place the brando onto the screen but not properly, any dust that is on the screen is then transferred to the brando I then remove it again and cover the P800 with some thing so no more dust can get on it and then use some stick tap to remove ALL the dust from the brando, I then re-apply the brando and hay presto dust free, clean and perfect!!!
Hope this helps, I’ve done this several times with out bother, just be careful with the knife not to damage the p800 or brando.

Excellent post.
BTW I have a Brando and an Overlay Plus and the Overlay Plus is WAAAY better - somehow the screen looks brighter and more vibrant with the O+ on whereas the Brando seemed to make the screen look dull!!! |

Re. Nlhal's cleaning tips - if I were to clean my Brando in this way I'd prob spend more time cleaning that bleedin thing than I do cleaning myself!!!
But, I shall perservere with his tips this evening.
In the mean time Im looking to purchase another screen protector - a BETTER screen protector!!! |
