when i bought the 8525, it came with a screen protector which was already on the screen. i did not want to take it off because it was really nice and it obviously protects it. My question is, if its on for a long time, will it come off? i know that the Treo 650 came with one also, and my friend is unable to take it off now, i don't want that to happen to my device...
Hmm thats weird did you buy a refurbished unit or something?
I only ask because to my knowledge they do not come with a screen protector.
hmm that is weird. i just got a brand new one last week and the screen protector was still wrapped up brand new...its really cheap so i left it in the box...probably want to make sure you didnt get an opened box or anything like that
well I bought it a week used 8525...but I just wanna make sure I can take it off after the screen protector after it wears out(scratches and such)...because my friends treo 650 screen protector wouldn't come off
I've had mine about a month now, and mine came with the protector as well. It works okay, but I have no idea about it coming off. However, I have a new phone on the way because the camera doesn't work. Wonder if it will have one as well.

well since u are getting a new one, take the protector off and let me know if the screen is alright...
I bought some of the palm screen protectors and they stay on just fine, it is a b*tch to put them on though, you have to be patient and try to slide them into place otherwise it seems to never align correctly, and don't worry about what size to buy you just need to cut them down to size anyway.
I almost bought the cheap ones online but I knew staples would take them back if they sucked and some dude on ebay wouldn't.
The pack cost me $15 for 13 pieces. Make sure you cut out a custom template in thicker stock paper (I just used the paper that came in the packaging from palm) so you don't have to ruin any of the protectors through trial and error.
I've used them on other things such as mp3 player, other phones and such before and have never had any problems taking them off.
Good luck!

get an invisible shield from http://www.shieldzone.com/, its not cheap vinyl, kinda rubbery feeling. LIFETIME GUARANTEED not to scratch. I've had them on all my phones for 2 years now and hasn't gotten scratched yet. you can watch this crazy video of one on a mac and someone grinding drywall screws on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrMVyp8tcQw

I second this post. I have shieldzone protectors on both my 8125 and my 8525. They are awesome and easy to apply or take off if you wish to, I have never had reason to remove since I put them on. They also make skins for the entire device, though I don't know how they will work. I just stuck with the screen protector. They have a cool video of an iPod with a full skin stuck in a box with a bunch of sharp objects and shook around for awhile with no damage.
I have never had an issue with them and have had one on my 8125 for over a year and on my 8525 for a few months.

Hello,
i want to change my Ameo in a new one because there are a lot of scratches on the front body. The reason is that the keyboard slipping on the surface of the body.
If any one have the same problem please Post it here because i want to show T- Mobile that this is a failure of construction.
Mine is exactly the same, I tried to take a picture, but it wasnt comming out very well, I was quite annoyed because I tried to keep it good. Does anybody know if this happens with the black ones or is it just silver. mine isnt insured and T-Mobile wouldnt entertain me for insurance because it was 3 months old. though I have heard you can insure it online somewhere.
i've got the same kind of scratches at exactly the same positions.
but i don't think t-mobile will do anything about this
i'ts a normal sign of use
I have some scratches as well, fairly similar to yours. I'll have some pics made if I can get a hold of a good enough camera.
I have a scratch at the bottom of the screen surround. The keyboard clear top has a tiny bump on it (from where it was moulded i think) and this has scratched the case! If it had a decent leather case then it wouldnt happen!
Same here, Same scratches, same area..
Guess we need to find a decent case to carry our precious around in...
Something that has some padding between the 2 parts.
Mine doesn't have this problem. Not a single scratch at all. It still look brand new. I don't use the keyboard or the leather case though. I just carry mine "naked" with my DIY belt pouch. I just have the standard free plastic screen protector over the screen area only and not the body.
This is ironic. The keyboard is supposed to protect but does the opposite.

It definetely does protect (the screen from cracks).
And imho some scratches on the body of the ameo are much better than a cracked screen
You now, we are speaking about a 800€ all in one device? Such a failure must not happen. If you had a 800€ Notebook with the same problem you would complaine about.
This is what my U1000 looks like close to the VGA camera on the front.
There are 2 more areas where I have some damage but I can't capture it properly on camera.
This is why we should take out insurance on our most expensive phones, as i hate scratches on my phones and if you complain about it with your provider/supplier and they are not willing to replace it when its a manufacture defect then i would personally claim on my insurance QUOTE (MY PHONE IS LOST/STOLEN TO GET BACK A REPLACEMENT) Its too expensive a device for it to scratch so easily.
I have the black HTC Advantage and I have the scratches too.
I have the black Athena and barely any scratches on mine. I use the stock case. The only time I got it scratched is when I first got it because I tried to use it without the case. Mistake on my part.
If you search the forum, you can also buy a $25 solution that protects your entire Athena. It's a plastic transparent covering that protects the entire body of the device. I think I may have posted it in the past to the accessories area. Well worth the tiny investment to protect the looks of your device.
Yep, I have the Black HTC Advantage X7500 and I have no scratches on it. I also do carry naked in my pocket especially around the office to meetings. However, I do feel I need something to protect it without gaining the bulk. I am still looking for a belt clip to carry it.
Just found this product.
http://www.shieldzone.com/item_description/HTCX7500.html
Read good review on PocketPCThoughts for a different product.
Has anyone tried it? It states as full body shield which includes guards for keyboard as well.
Looks Intresting.. But we all know that these type of solution are never as easy to install (Esp. as there are 8 pieces for the Athena)
as they are in the Promo vidz. The vidz also mention that the film has Adhesive on it. How would this affect the deve by:
1. Discoloring over time
2. Being able to easily remove the film, if need or if damaged.
3. Being removed from the screen, without pulling the touchscreen's
touch sensor film off.
Has anybody tried this stuff yet? I think I'll wait for more feedback before I buy.
http://mobilitytoday.com/articles/invisible_shield_protection.html
From some of comments, it seems easy to remove from a pda.
I don't know if that comment was from someone who works for ShieldZone though.

I just ordered one. I'm having it shipped via 3 day UPS. I'll post my thoughts once I try it out. For the cost it's worth a try. They also have a lifetime replacement policy so if they get screwed up you get a free one. We'll see how it goes.

I have it on for over 4 months. Search this very forum for an extensive discussion on it. Easy to install with the water spray bottle provided. The screen protector is a bit sticky so I took it off and used a regular one.

Wanted to get some feedback by members on this forum before purchasing. What do you guys think? Will "static attachment" mess up the screen in any way?
screen protector
you dont have a screen protector on your phone?? it shouldve came with your phone unless you got it else where. better get these
well i screwed up the one that came wit it by trying to get it perfectly on the screen, so after ripping it out over and over again i kept gettin dust on it, so i threw it away and for now i put that original one back that has the pictures on it and shows you how to tilt ur phone? u know the one that comes on it when its brand new wit "warnings" and stuff...
either way...i am about to purchase either the "Expert Shield" or the pocket solution ones and i am tryin to get some feedback on the pocket solution ones first before purchasing. as for now, i have my phone on "baby mode" and am leaving it at home
geez...no one?
Expert Shield all the way. Don't even second guess it.
Expert Shield rocks. I have used them for my Tilt and a couple of cameras. You just have be careful putting them on. It is really easy to get dust under it if your not careful. Look on eBay and you can find them for really cheap shipped from either Hong Kong or Canada. Usually around $10 - $12 shipped. They are more expensive here.

+5 to that. i'm using them now on my tilt.
they're thick, yet flexible, have yet to show any wear from the stylus, & they haven't appeared to affect the touch sensitivity either.
It's been said by someone here that the Expert Shield protectors are just as good as the Martin Fields. He ruined one of his Martin Fields and I told him to try out ES and he said it was great.
They're a lot cheaper also.

PSP Screen protector
I'm using a Hiro PSP Screen protector (cut into size) covers 99.9% of the screen almost same thickness as with martin fields, but at a fraction of the price
It also doesn't affect screen sensitivity.

I bought an Expert Shield and am VERY happpy with it. You're dead on about the dust thing and I'll add fingerprints to that list.
I did discover is that you can remove it and wash the sticky side off with warm water and a clean finger. Then pat dry lightly with lint free cloth for eye glasses. It will it go right back on just like new!!!! I did this three times in a row for fingerprints and dust that was bugging me.
Great product!!!
i would strongly recommend http://www.zagg.com/ Invisible sheild

I'm using them, and they are ok for the money. There are better ones out there like the others are stating. But for 5 bucks, not a bad buy at all.
Also try Boxwave's ClearTouch, It's a bit pricey but man... after 2 month with this thing stick on my screen, it didn't even get a single scratch on it, hard as a rock! Also perfect fit. It's also washable and after wash it with soap and put it back on to your screen it looks like brand new... Well worth the money.
Link here.
Someone here linked them before I bought them and they are garbage. They are a pain in the ass to put on the first one I put on didnt cover enough of the screen and anything off of your fingers stays on there and its very hard to clean you have to use water. Mircofiber cloth wasnt good enough. Within two weeks it bubbled up and I had to trash the 1st one. The 2nd one that came in the pack was too big and it was also did not fit well. Oh yea
I dont recommend them.
Lifetime Shield
Invisible Shield. Thats the one.
Lifetime shield
The invisible shield does have a different feel to it, but its nothing thats a show stopper. The company is good for its work, they have already replaced one due to the lack of a camera opening for my tytn 2.

That's the stuff I used in my bathroom to frost my windows... I got it wet and slid it on.. used a squeegee and flattened it all out and 3 years later is is still sticking there.
The difference is that this is
1.) Clear
2.) Cut into the proper shape (you could do this yourself with some measuring but it saves hassle)
3.) the squeegee is probably smaller.
My bathroom windows are in a VERY humid environment... I have never had ANY peeling.
However I don't keep my bathroom windows in my pocket... so I don't know if the corners will peel up.
My main point is that for $24 of this "film" to cover a TINY phone... you can buy the same thing for $18 that would cover 10 phones... if the product works fantastic... the profit margin for them is HUGE. If it doesn't work... it's the biggest rip off ever.
See if Gila makes a clear one... get $18 worth and tinker away.

Since you've had the Fuze already... Is the shape exactly the same as the TP? It looks like sprints version is a little more round along the corners. I'd Like to go ahead and purchase one of these for the Fuze but don't want to have to send it back.

The only difference I noticed when seeing the 2 up next to each other was the shape of the speaker hole on the back, that might be enough to throw the protection off. Ask Raspster about it more, he had both the European and the Fuze at the same time, so he could tell you better than I could.
I got one, just to try it out.
Exactly as described above. Its a bit fiddly getting on but once on, it sticks very well.
Its great at sticking to flat surfaces, not so good on curves. And they don't even try and cover the corners on the device, which I would think are the places I'd want protected if I was to drop it.
The texture makes the back look very different from normal; its much nicer without the cover on. On the front, you can't really see the cover at all; edges are perfectly aligned with the phones edges.
The back and the front of the phone are covered very well. Sides not so great. Corners not at all. Front looks good. Back looks crap.
My opinion, its no way worth $24
just got mine on Friday exactly as it's described, protects almost every part of the phone with their cut out plastic shield, however as mentioned in earlier post... doesn't really cover the edges, all in all... does really stick and so far looks pretty ok with the exception of little bubbles within the shield (poor application technique)

I have used the Zagg's products (formerly Invisible Shield) on my 6800, 6700, wifes Centro and even custom ordered for my Pioneer 6800DVD in my car. I really like the product, the service is second to none... That said, I think since I have used the product and know how it performs in pockets, and how to install correctly (installed dozens of shields for myself, family and friends), I may try this new product.
Screen protection has always been great and flat surfaces (side) great as well but the corners usually give way, slide and start to bubble after about 4 months of heavy in and out of the pocket use.
This is a $24 experiment begging to happen.... now if Sprint would just release the damn phone!
I would also like to know this. Can it be removed again without leaving marks on the phone?
How scratch proof is it really?
Because of the lack of info on the site (still no video's on how to apply the thing, their forum is just about empty and they don't reply to customer questions...) they really don't seem to thrustworthy ...

I would get the one released by Zagg. They offer a lifetime replacement on all products and they will replace it no questions I know. Their stuff is nearly impossible to scratch and I TRIED just about everything to scratch it. All phones full covers are $25. Never had any bubbling issues with Zagg's products.
yes it can easily be removed without any mark left at all....I found the cover started to collect dusk a lot (it must be slightly sticky) so I removed it.

Trust me, I know oh too well the replacement process and have replaced and installed many over the last 5 years.
The fact that I know the Zagg product so well, makes the experiment more interesting. I know the Zagg stuff so well that I will know if this Clear Coat stands a chance AND since it's only $25... It might turn out to be junk, the company could not stand behind the guarantee BUT we'll see.
*Update
Just got my phone yesterday and I just ordered the Clear Coat. I'll install and do a little initial write up. I'll order the Zagg shield when it becomes available and do a comparison.
It's only money and it IS a $700 device.... (but I only paid $250 for it)
Stay tuned guys.
**Update
Just ordered a Zagg full body shield at 40% off as they just got them and were doing a Halloween special I guess. I should have the Cleat Coat on Mon/Tues and the Zagg will probably be here the week after. I think I'll install the Clear Coat first, use it for a week or so and then install the Zagg and do the same.

Discount showed up right away for me. Just placed an order! Was waiting for this Good timing Zagg!
many thanks to the OP, just ordered.
Heads up - these things are awful. I really would suggest never buying them. Adhesive backing is terrible and almost impossible to not get dust / pet hair / people hair on the sticky part unless you have a clean room. I took every precaution to avoid getting stuff between the screen in it.
Hands were 100% clean, the liquid didn't help at all with this issue, the liquid can get into the speaker if you are not very careful, and if you mess up applying it and want a replacement you get the shaft. They only give free replacements for life if the front is damaged while protecting the phone.
Read reviews online if you don't believe me...the HTC Hero version of the InvisiShield is awful. I have read they are decent and NOT adhesive backed for other phones. So far the best I've found are cheap ass $3 for 3 ones on Amazon that are cling stick.
I bought this full price, right when i got my hero...
took it off about 3 weeks later, i hated how it didn't feel smooth at all, overall seemed resistive to the touch.
Just a thought, bestbuy applies them for 8 bucks and guarantees the application. If it were not for this fact, I wouldn't buy.
applying these things is a bit more comfortable than water torture
They aren't too bad tbh, i switched from invisible shield to phantom skin, then i tore that off and just put a normal screen protector on and i bought a full body skin from skinit, so my phone looks sexeh and its pretty protected
just bought a zagg invis shield for my psp slim and my NDS lite, and i bought their zagg sparq, since its 100$ i got it for 50 its a 6000 mah battery with 2 usb ports that give 1000mah each. all in all i spent like 72$ instead of the 150$
all in all its a good skin, it didnt gather any dust or hair or anything for me, i put it on in my kitchen, but i dont reccomend it on a touch screen, like that other guy said it resists a little.
I could not resist!

WASTE-OF-MONEY
At least for the Hero. These things are a total pita to put on. They don't seem to make the screen any less sensitive but they do make it harder to slide your finger across it.
Application is a mess, if you are ocd about your electronics then tape up the speaker because water is going to get on it. My g/f's went on well and is almost not obvious but mine looks absolutely terrible, and I did hers first! AND they don't even cover the entire screen! I am very disappointed in the zagg invisible shield for the sprint cdma hero.
I'd like to find a thin, rigid, plastic screen protector. I bet there's one out there somewhere.
*update- after writing this post I couldn't take it anymore. My zagg shield is now protecting the applicator card that came with it.
it might be too late for the sale... who knows... but previously purchased just the front screen protector and not the whole body. im pretty happy with it
i had already used a rubbery body thing for the back but when coupled with the zagg protector, i am alot less worried about accidentally putting my hero in the same pocket as my keys when inebriated.
application was a pita. good luck!
I just ordered one for my Eris, hopefully it's not as bad as you guys are mentioning it. Then again the Eris uses a different material, and I only plan to use the whole front(screen + around the buttons).

what you said its true i bought a universal screen protector for the hero first but my screen kept getting dust after the last screen it had that it was the third it worked perfectly.. i made mistakes that the screen keeps and cant remove like dirt and dust :x so you gotta do it fast ......i still like them
you have lifetime guaranteed just need to make a form of somekind send it back and they will give you another one free ^^ check the page
I was OK with the top speaker being louder than the bottom, it still sounded pretty good and was nice and loud....
I'm OK with the screen having, what some people refer to as a "pink" or "green/yellow" hue to it... It's a gorgeous screen and unless I'm looking at it at an angle, it is fine.
Over the weekend I tried 3 different tempered glass screen protectors on it, and none of them would stick to the bottom right corner. I then read where some people had a "dent" or curve on the corners of their glass screen that was only really visible when you looked at a reflection in the glass...... Sure enough, my bottom right corner has a pretty good "distorted" image in the reflection. I can't see it or feel it when looking directly at the screen, but the reflection really shows it has an indention in it.
I spoke to Google and they are exchanging my phone for a new one.... I guess I'll examine it when it comes and chose the one that has the least defects? I love this phone and can live with a few little quirks, so I'm not ready to give up it just yet.
I have the same issue (top right corner), I have already unlocked, rooted the phone and I find it too much trouble to put everything back to stock and request a replacement. I don't know if they would send me a new or used unit. I have already purchased a plastic screen protector (haven't received it yet) and hoping that it would stick to the warped corner better than glass.
How the heck can one figure out there is a bump dent on one of the corners of the screen... Try to purchase good screen protectors may be?
Sent from my Nexus 6P
as he said in OP, just look at a reflection in the screen and see if the reflection is bent. my glass protector doesnt sit down on two corners either. waiting until i get a new one to take this one off

I had the exact same problem and at this moment another one is being sent to me. I love tempered glass but with it like this I can't use one because it Pulls up on the bottom right side corner.
I just got a replacement supershieldz TGSP but I am not going to put it on. I know that since the problem is with the screen it won't fit either. Originally I had requested for a refund but seller thought I am asking for a refund due to it not having proximity sensor cutouts. I am not seeing any point in putting it on and finding out that it has the same issue where one end sticks up and separates from the screen. I am now in search of a plastic protector preferably wet application so that its flexible enough to stay put.

Yeah, my replacement 6P is gonna be here tomorrow... If the TGSP doesn't work, then I'll just keep it and put a "wet", flexible screen protector on it as well.
Folks getting replacements: can you let us know how Google handled that? Referb/new, full/partial packaging, etc?
Much appreciated.

Just received my replacement... It came new, in the box with everything.
The screen appears to be a little more "flat".... But my TSGP is already in the trash and the replacement isn't here until Friday or Monday, so I won't know how it fits until then.

How long did it take them to ship the new one and did you have to pay shipping or was it free?

It took 4 days to process and then it was over-nighted at no additional charge.. About 6 days total.... My 2nd replacement was ordered on Saturday morning and shipped out today, FedEx ground at no charge.
2nd replacement is due to a lose component inside rattling around.

I just wanted to share some updates. I tried a wet application Skinomi on my phone. they must have changed the formula of their plastic as its too soft now. Every time I hit the screen with something (fingernail, keys or anything else) it would leave a permanent dent on the screen protector that would not heal even after many days. I didn't see this behavior back when I had Nexus 5 with Skinomi applied on it.
Anyways, since I mentioned before that I did get a replacement TGSP from Supershieldz and never used it. Tonight I put it on the phone and to my surprise it sticks to the screen fully covering it 100%. Even the dented area is showing sticking unlike before. I don't know what changed but my phone screen is definitely the same.
Just wanted to share it in case if anybody else with dented screen doesn't wanna try a TGSP, give it another shot you might get lucky like me.
