Proporta Advanced Screen Protector for HTC Wildfire – Review

It is good to guard against scratches and scrapes on the screen of your smartphone. The way to do it is with a screen protector, they are low-cost and can help retain the value of your phone.

You can buy specific ones for different model phones – because of the different shape screens. I currently have a HTC Wildfire so that is my chosen screen protector, it is by Proporta and retails at £4.95 (at the time of writing).

As with all Proporta products it is smartly packaged, and inside you get short, clear instructions with images on fitting.

To fit is a simple process. In the pack you get a cloth to remove existing dirt, smudges and finger marks from your phone. Next you peel of the plastic from both sides of the protector. Then align it up to the screen and put it in place. You will normally get a few air bubbles, so included in the pack is a little piece of card to help push the bubbles out. The piece of card also had a promotional code on the back to save 20%! Nice little touch.

When fitting the kit be careful and take your time. It needs to be aligned up nicely as it will be stuck so you don’t want to be constantly peeling it off and sticking it back on as it will lose its quality. It’s best to take your time and get it spot on straight away to avoid future issues.

Once fitted this is how it looks (see image on right). As you can see the screen is still super clear and makes no difference. When you use the touchscreen it is also no difference of an experience. So in no way does the product affect your usage or looks of the HTC.

At a cost of £4.95 from the Proporta website it should prove a good investment to help the handset hold its value. Second hand buyers obviously look for phones with a screen in excellent condition, so this can help you achieve that.
