After 3 days of use there is a clearly visible point on the overlay where de 'ok' button touches the screen. I payed 12 € for this. Is this normal or am I just unlucky?

You probably have too sharp stylus. I have scratches on my screen protector too - because I had same problems with my stylus.
I bought the screen protector together with my friend, but he has no visible scratches on his protector.
Try replace it with spare one from P800 box. |

I *love* my Brando - it seems really durable, fits the screen perfectly, and I have no fears whatsoever of marking the screen (not that I'm that heavy handed anyway). Besides, it keeps grease and other contaminants of the touchscreen.
Obviously, it takes away a *very* small amount of sensitivity, but hardly noticeable.
Get one!

my brando lasted from January to July.. the Brando i bought last January wasnt precut.. there were no precuts yet for P800.. it was for the m505 which i cut myself to fit the P800.
recently, i replaced my protector.. this time with a precut Brando. 
i use a Penatia stylus. |

Frankie: the overlay is very good, the screen stays cristal clear. The only bad thing is the little damage the ok button made (Arthur, it was not my stylus, but the sharp end of my ok-button), but that could be due to the button itself and not the shield. I don't know. One thing is for sure, the touch screen produced some serious headaches for me. Jeezes, just putting the protector on the screen without any dirt is very, very, very difficult, unless you work in a lab or something. |

The pre-cut Brandos go on dust-free easily...

@Frankie
My advice to you is NOT to waste your money on the Brando or any other screen protector.
Why pay so much for a piece of plastic?!
My solution:
Use some sticky back plastic/acetate.
You can get this from your local stationers or art shop. But some shops sell some really nasty thin stuff so check the quality.
Now a sheet of A4 of this stuff is much cheaper than a Brando thing.
Of course you will have to cut the sheet your self. What you have left over can be used for covering other things (like photos maybe). It works out cheaper and does the job.
I have always had a roll of this stuff at home so when I got my phone I simply cut a piece of this off and stuck it to my P800 screen. So for me the cost was £00.00!!
I have my screen covered like this, with flip removed, for about three months now. It's as good as gold.

I'm sorry but why, when you've paid several hundred pounds for what is undoubtedly the best and most powerfull phone on the market, would you want to cheapen it with a piece of acetate?
I bought the Martin Fields protector. I did damage it while fitting, but it is minor and has protected the screen very well. It is virtually undetectable unless you look for it. As the plastic is quite thick it would be easy to remove - acetate would not!
it's your phone, but if I were you I wouldn't risk it! Pay the money - get a decent protector. |

My Martin Fields protector has been on for well over a month and is fine. No visible stratches yet after pretty intensive use, so far.
I tried the Brando one and didn't like it at all. I didn't want to have to wear image intensifying night goggles just to see what was on the screen! |
