Hye guys, just wanna find out how many of you guys applied a screen protector on ur DS/DSL. Do you think it is neccessary? What brand do you use/recommend? Will it affect your gameplay (touch screen, 'silau', etc)?

Thanks in advance

Yes it is necessary depending on what games you play.

Ouendan is a good example of why you need a screen prot. (+ a better stylus)

Hori

mitodna

only hori the official protector screen has the best quality although it is the most expensive one.

Yup. for my DSL.

Get a Hori. U'll be satisfied.

Too much scribbling when answering tough questions in Brain Age can scratch ur touch screen.

Hori definitely the one to get. wish they sell it more here tho. very few shops selling.

of coz apply screen protector on precious gadget lar.... if kena scratch sure heart break

screen protector's a must.when i 1st got my ds, screen protectors were scarce. my touch screen ended up with a few scratches efore i got one..

OMG rhetorical question. XD Of course you mus get! It's essential. Don't dream about playing Feel the Magic WITHOUT protection lol.

Play Safe, Use Hori =x

LOL. Hori offers the THINNEST protection there is, and does not compromise quality for sensation. !!

ok then... so... PROTECTION is needed...

Hori seems the best...

Where 2 Get ... and Expected Price leh?

Original are around RM 50++

local are around RM 30++

I don't use protection and I'm okay so far.

what's this screen protector you people speak of? some kind of superhero?

i never bothered with any, and i *gasp* left the ds in the hands of my younger siblings for a couple of months. needless to say my ds looks very very "seasoned", both inside and outside.

can't say it affects my gameplay at all, though

WOW! ... whats the dif if both are HORI?

price dif so much...

they both are "Hori" just taht the local one is a "copy" from hori. you know la..

I used pda screen protector for the touch screen.
Not the best, but cheapest can get, rm7.
For upper screen I used hori.

so you are saying that the hori screen protector doens't suit your liking?

give a review on it

get it from play-asia or lik-sang lah.

Djinn do u hav screen proctector for NDSL??

if u hav pm me..

i dont use screen protector. if u apply too much persure on ur touch screen, u still get scratch even with screen protector. NDS is a flip unit. so im not so worry about it. but PSP i think is a must.

really? how much pressure? im really into mph now, sometimes i tap the screen to much to jump..eekkk..

btw, nice avatar...

maybe u can try applying 0.5 ~ 1 bar psi. haha

i believe in my Hori screen protector.

hori screen protector the best !!!

original or non original first ?

wat the difference between original n not original ....besides price ???


i meant the quality..the protection

from the looks from it~.

all I can say is thicker.

believe me, a screen protector is a must.

saying such things as DS/DSL is flip-unit and you shouldnt worry about it is rather funny.

Playing with/without the paranoia feeling is a HUGE difference. /swt

Can we close this thread already?

It's quite obviously you need a screen protector.

Just check out Joystiqs/4cr's DS lite guide, and they say it's essential.

Playing games that require continuous tapping really contribute a high chance of getting your DS scratched and scarred. And playing MPH without a screen protector is almost like asking your DS touch screen to be mutilated. Just get those Hori Dual Screen protector, nuff said.

da ori wat price??

See Post #13

ok thx for da info

then can anyone tell me why my ds still works just fine despite the numerous scratch marks on it?

geez, you guys are so obsessed with the screen

SCREEN-PROTECTORS.

They just PROTECT the screen from being scratched. No harm in adding another layer of protection right?

Unlike your DS which only costs RM50 now.

it may be worth $50, but it certainly didn't cost $50. don't mix those two up. either way numbers are pointless when there's no intent to sell it.

and sorry for not spending extra money to protect myself from something so harmless.

I don't use screen protector for my phat DS and now my screen is covered with a couple scratches and a big spot where the surface is cloudy (worn out) due to thumb strap usage (for MPH) . I can slightly see the worn surface when I playing even with the backlights on.

Djinn, I interested on the Hori screen protector (ori, of course). PM sent.

im agree with Quote~
but if some one can spare me a free nori i will try it out too keke
just dont feel like spending axtra money that i know how to hander.
i was playing MHP too. just need to clean it with a class cloth after playing.

after all. i have install 100s of touch screen panel to my customers in industrial enviroment, touching with the fingure. got no any complane about scratches. If only some ppl press it to hard with the fingure nail or the fingure got sand there will be a scratches too.

so, if u think u press too hard or u malas to clean the screen. YES buy a nori.
*(still will get scratches if press too hard)
for me, i clean my screen and pen tip after playing. maybe this is why i always loss in MHP.

Yes buy a parrot!

Can we use DS phat screen protector on a DS Lite?

i think the screen size are the same... so should be fine...

the screen size is same but the frame size not the same .
if u want use nds screenprotector on ndslite u nid to resize abit .

hoo!... i stand corrected... BUT i guess got both versions on the market lah...

hoo!!
ofcoz got dslite version n nds version screen protector lah

Hey DjiNn,

In terms of packaging, how could we differentiate an original Hori NDSlite screen protector and a locally made one?

ahem....what's the difference between liquid crystal filter and protection filter? they are both basically just transparent filter right.....so confusing with all this filter names, haha!

wah... thread ressurected.... its the same usually... jus ask the vendor unless you getting it online... but if its for DS it will be the same...

Ofcourse screen protectors are a must. Unless you don't play Ouendan/Elite Beat Agents. I've made some scratches (damn you spinners!) on the hori protector on my touchscreen already, after almost of month worth of playing Ouendan.

like duh...

they are a must!
mine is capdase.

how about a DSlite protector on a DSphat screen? since most places stock up on Lite protectors these days....DSphat is getting phased out.

easy..change ur DSPhat to DSLite lor....

nevermind just found out the answer to this when i decided to reward my DSphat with a screen protector after eight months of abusing, oops i mean using the touch screen without a protector.

i ordered the HORI liquid crystal filter from PA because i had a few touch-screen games i have been waiting to play (ouendan, feel the magic, rub rabbits)
i resisted the idea of using a filter but after the damage done by playing trauma center without a filter, i knew my touch screen won't last for very much longer without one.

the one i ordered was the DSLite version which PA didn't have any HORI for the DSphat at the moment. the touch screen filter fits almost perfectly but the top screen one was slighty smaller. no matter, it's the touch screen that really needs protection since the DS is a flip-unit.

applying it was a little tricky but i think i can live with the few air bubbles here and there.
then came the part to testing the sensitivity of the touch screen with the protector layer on top, i decided to test it out on trauma center since i still have some surgical skills left in me....

holy crap...sliding the stylus across the screen just isn't as smooth as it used to be!
it had a horrible rubbery feel when you try to slide the stylus across the screen where else when you do it without a filter, it feels like ice-skating.

those who played trauma center and had to suture a wound would know what it means to slide the stylus on the screen. maybe some or most of you had a screen protector applied onto your DS right from the day you purchased it...but for me, having used the touch screen for eight months without a filter takes a lot of getting used to.
now i know why some ppl prefer NOT to wear rubber....maybe not.

the screen protector is for protecting the touch screen right?

congratulations! you bought a pirated protective sheet lol (or you applied the topscreen protection sheet to the touchscreen)

I can slide my stylus all around the touchscreen smoothly as if there's nothing on it. btw, does the sheet comes with yellow stickers on the middle of them?

i think not, smarty pants...i ordered the HORI from PA and i don't think they deal with knock-off goods. and i'm certain i peel off the right layer because the top layer had a peel me label on it while the bottom layer is not adhesive.

i think you have never used the touch screen without a protective layer on it so your perpective of "smoothness" and mine is a little different, too bad....

I'm thinking of getting one

Both layers aren't adhesive, IIRC.

I did. Might be my hand being not too sensitive to minor roughness when sliding the stylus then. :/

When I bought my DS Lite, I bought a screen protector with it.

Yah, both side dun have adhesive, the protector depends on static to cling to the screen.

i tried to run the stylus on the protector for the top screen of my DS and it doesn't have the same rubbery feel as the protector on the touch screen (ie. one feels smooth while the other feels rubbery)

did i stick the right protector on the right screen? all i know is the top screen protector could not have fit onto the touch screen cos it was slighty bigger....hmmm, maybe it wasn't such a good idea to use a DSLite protector on a DSphat.

correct la...u shld use protector on bottom screen coz that's where the touchscreen is. you dont really need a protector for upper screen unless u keep you ds opened all the time

there will be two... one for the top one and the other for the bottom.. the bottom one is smaller then the top part....

rubbery?? that is a strange protector... wat brand a??

Its normal... im using a Hori brand and it feels like that...

no its not wrong, rubbery mean the sensitive layer is on the top, which reduce the scratch on the screen unless u rub the screen with stylus very hard. top screen's screen protector is just a normal piece of plastic
