Jolla Screen Protector: Will You Or Won’t You ?
I know they appear to be a ‘love ‘em’ or ‘hate ‘em’ kind of topic, with many arguing that gorilla glass doesn’t need a screen protector etc etc, but I for one fall firmly into the love ‘em category!
Since discovering the matte, anti-smudge easy-swipe screen protectors, I can’t get enough of them (oh and before you ask, no I’m not a screen protector salesman!). If you want to end up with scratches all over your lovely shiny new screen (even gorilla glass isn’t immune to scratches from grains of sand in the pocket BTW), well that’s fine, but leave us other ‘screen protector’ nerds to pursue our passion in silence, please. Incidentally, a matte screen protector not only saves your precious screen from scratches, but also looks pretty classy and reduces that ‘glare factor’ you get with either plain glass or a shiny protector.
Okay so I’m searching and on my travels, I’ve found a few things for all the other SP (screen protector) geeks out there like me!
I’ve found 2 places so far you can buy the standard screen protector for your Jolla:
http://www.amazon.com/D-Flector-Scratch-Resistant-Smartphone-Protector/dp/B00H5DSHEG
Neither appear to be a ‘matte’ finish but I’ve emailed one of the sellers to find out if they could supply the matte ones I want.
The second bit of information regarding screen protectors is for all those DIY people out there who would like to make their own.
Another guy on maemo.org (Nokiuss60) has made some of his own templates for the Jolla phone and provided a ZIP file for any ‘would be’ DIY screen protector nerds.
For the file download, you can click on this link: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=92078 and you’ll find the file at the bottom of the first post.
Obviously, the Jolla phone comes with a manufacturer screen protector fitted out of the box, so for now I have just cut off the small lip with some scissors and it’s at least protecting the screen until I get something altogether better.
So the question is – screen protectors: Will you or won’t you? Do you or don’t you bother ?

I’ve been trying to get Zagg to make one. More expensive than the eBay ones but the warranty is far better.
I had a zagg protector on my N900 for one hour and in that time the protector itself got more scratches than the screen ever got during the 2 years of use I put it through. Have they gotten better since then?
Spot on. I’m in a very abrasive workplace. Had them on my N9 from new for last 18 months – changed it for the 3rd time a month ago – the screen is still as new. Never leave home without one.
I never used a screen protector, but I’m sometimes thinking on buying some to give it a try.
I’ve got my N4 now for pretty some time, and it doesn’t show any signs of usage, but you never know :D.
I would use Screenprotector, if there would be any good available. I had to take the manufacturers one away after few times I put my phone to pocket (it almost left, and there was dust all way under the protector…
I also contacted Zagg, and here is what they answered:

Also contacted to Copter, but they suggested that I would send phone to them (and have free protection).. :D Well I didn’t want this lunch.. Has anyone contacted to spigen?
No protector here, but I do have have an (expensive) case with a large lip around the bezel so that the screen will be safe from impact. Not sure this would be practical with the Jolla though, the Other Half an’ all…
Definitvely need one.
Since the first time I have one matte screen protector (my first one was even a confientiality layr as well), I can’t bear the touch of the glass without it. it makes the feeling so much more smooth and comfortable.
I don’t want a screen protector for the protection it offers (even if that is good too), I only want to have one for the touch finish it gives to the phone screen…
No, I found the only same sellers as you and am looking for explicit matte finish screen protectors (Atflix, vikuiti,empire,not matter which brand but I do want one) :)
You could easly mod a lumia 925 screen protector on it. Just need to cut about 2-3mm of the sheld on top with a sharp knife and perfect fit.
I immediately bought a 5″ template from suojakalvotukku and cut it to proper design with scissors and a surgeon’s knife. Well, it is not perfect, but it’ll do its job at least since there is no “official” protectors available.
already bought one.

next, i need a case.
I used one of my spare BB Z10 screen protectors on my Jolla, it’s a little bit smaller in terms of height, but it protects the “active” part of the screen nicely. I didn’t have one on my N9, and it did suffer from some screen surface ‘stress’. If someone is making proper Jolla ones, I’ll get some then…
There seems to be “good old” 3M Vikuiti Screen protectors (also matte) available for Jolla, in http://protectionfilms24.com ordered DQCM30, hope it’s any good.
