Over on HUKD, someone's recommended screen protectors from everyone's favourite auction site. (160422036071) They're saying that they're anti glare, triple layer and good quality for a very cheap price.

I'm looking at the Zagg myself. Another tip from HUKD is to sign up for the competition on Zagg to win an iPad. Everyone who enters gets sent a code for a discount of up to 50% off their products. I did it and got a code for 40% off.

Don't even consider this. They claim it's for the Desire but it's actually for the Google Nexus 1. It fits reasonably well, but not perfect and definitely not worth a tenner when the same thing is on Amazon for £2.75 (I bought one) and for similar amounts on eBay.

Dear Max did your code take a long time to arrive? I didn't register, just posted my email as instructed but nothings happened, must be the volcano dust's clogged the internet!

Thanks for this help!! Don't want to have saved so much on the contract only to fritter it all away on peripherals!!

just an update for anyone interested in an unlocked Desire...

- it's confirmed that Three will be selling them for £349.99 on PAYG.

from the blog comments:

@Zarch – First batch of Desire stock will be unlocked, it’ll be PAYG or Pay Monthly though so it will come with a SIM either way.

20th April is the offical launch date but if anyone manages to get one sooner please let us know.

ps. I was told they were been delivered today (17th April) so fingers crossed. haha :j
