Mines being returned, and I will be ordering an Invisible Shield as soon as they sort out the front panel sizing issues.

i hope HTC will replace it ??? or i never buy a htc phone again

It's a shame for sure I feel for you but I have to say, that's not paint dissolving, it's paint been knocked off - somethings come in contact with it. Maybe the lacquer is not as hard as it might but with a bit of care it should be OK - Ive had mine since christmas and us it a lot and I have to say it's unmarked (so far).

Has anyone ever tried these screen protectors?

Ran a search but for some reason it doesn't seem anyone has ever tried these...

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.
ScreenPatronus
I recommend Screen Patronus

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 second this, i got my a couple days ago. I love it, its more of a hard plastic type protector, alot better than those expensive sticky films you can buy.

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.

The supplied screen protector is the tool of the Devil

Yes it is..
It simply doesnt work.
Its too thick. Because the screen is so large/flush, the sides dont stick down properly, further more it took me 15 mins to figure out that the top of the protector doesnt have a protective layer of plastic that peels off.. only the bottom.
Basicly I have made a dogs dinner of it and I only recieved my HD today! Tomorrow afternoon I have to go to tottenham court road, pay £10 to have a Brando one applied properly...
I had no issues putting mine on..... and it doesn't seem to effect the use of the screen.
Granted, it's not as good as the Brando's you mention but I'll stay with it for the time being.

can you at least confirm that the top layer doesnt have a peelable protective layer...

I was looking at that earlier. Brando UltraClear is very good from past experience. Do update us as to how good the one for the Touch HD is would you?

dont you find that odd? all the other HTC supplied protectors, eg with the original Touch and the Touch Diamond had a peelable bit of plastic on the front. This one seems really low quality and it pisses me off that I have to enjoy my first day with the HD with dust and air bubbles/blotches under the protector... and shell out £10 to have a proper one put on

yes, Inkino will supply and apply a Brando ultraclear for me for £10. At least I know someone will put it on properly, air bubble and dust free.
The one supplied with the HD is simply terrible. Its too thick, so the sides easily lift up. there is no protective plastic layer on the top of the protector, so be VERY CAREFUL when flattening it with a credit card.
It's a bit of a pain to apply...
The cut out is actually the perfect size to fit, maybe a little to perfect. Many screen protector I've used in the past are about a mm smaller so it's easy to remove and apply. Let me explain... The HD has tiny ridges which is ever so slightly raised on the whole perimeter. So unless you fit it perfectly you'll find nice elongated air bubble on the edge. After a few attempts it's good now but managed to catch a tiny dust particle underneath which again causes air bubbles. lol
In the past I have found Expert Shield to be extremely good. Even tiny dust particles or air bubbles just disappear... Uses some suction technology. lol
Hey, can you please tell me which Tottenham Ct Rd shop I should go to buy and let them apply for a tenner?

Agree.... As I said, mine went on without any problems, fit's perfectly and is free from dust/bubbles/etc.

Looks like it's Inkino looking above. I'm in same boat can't relax looking at the dust and air bubbles on the screen. I've washed it twice in desperation but still no go.

I dont know if they actually have them in .. probably do, I will call tomorrow morning. I only recieved my HD this evening. Not even finished charging the battery yet. They installed my Diamond's protector for me perfectly.
I've tried everything with the supplied protector and am sick of it.
They are in between TCR and Goodge St station
Many thanks guys!
They have two shops.

Tricks them all and will be the first to get there.
LOL, and I thought that I was a mess putting screen protectors...
I must say that I have a little, but not enough, experience putting screen protectors. I normally miss the first attempt and that is what happened. This time I missed a little bit to one of the sides. I kept cool, lift a bit the protector and tried one more time.
99% perfect the 2nd time!! It fitted 100% across the screen, inside the whole edge, and I only have two little air spots, none inside the 3.8" screen area.
I wonder how some people say that this protector is very bad or it doesn't fit the screen correctly. This is not a brando one, but sure it's a good one. I can compare to the one from brando that I got to my S200
i also attest that the protector is PERFECT Fit. i have not problems with it so far. it took me 3 times to get it right. i would suggest the following in general:
instead of using fingers to hold the screen protector, use the peeled off portion to "hold" one of the corners -> ie. stick a TINY corner of the protector onto the peeled off plastic, this way you have a "handle" to lift the protector off should you mis-align it. also it doesn't get finger prints onto the stickie side, and it also keep the stickiness after a few tries.

I agree with you. I'm pretty good at putting protectors on, but this was a real pain. I think I refitted it 6 times and even then had to use tape to remove lint and such 3 or 4 times. It does fit too well. Ended up buying a Brando, but didn't get the Ultra-clear Picked the anti-glare one and fitted it in one go. But am not happy with the dull screen, so have ordered an ultra-clear.

I just got my ghost armor in the mail today, it is actually front, back, and then smaller side and top, bottom pieces. I'll see about posting some pics when I install it. Not going to do it tonight, am very tired and don't want to screw it up.
Someone in the Invisible Shield post promised to post pics, but never did. I too was really curious how it looks, since I have never seen one in person.

Pictures for Invisible Shield (Full Body) on Fuze
Hi all,
Here is my Fuze that i covered with Full Body Invisible Shield. I like it, made it feel rugged and i can really put it at any surface now without worrying about scratching the sides. The four points or should i say eight points of the phone corners are not that protected. The IS has been covering my phone for almost 1 month.
I also increased the brightness and contrast of the pictures when i uploaded it so you guys could see the IS better.
I bought this so called "free lint cloth" from WalMart, but lo and behold, it's not actually lint free, it HAS lots of lint when i used it. So on the back of my Fuze, you will see a few white dots, those are the lints from the cloth. Well, lesson learn, gotta make sure it's lint free cloth
Hope the pictures help. But overall, i really like my IS.
thx for the pics - i wish someone would jsut release a decent non-glossy backcover replacement already for the fuze - i dont want to deal with protecting the back faceted stuff at all.
Do you find the screen protecter to reduce the screen sensitivity/scroll speed at all? The stock screen protector ive found to do this a little bit with my stylus input.

Looks good. I will very likely order one as soon as I get the Fuze. Your pics definitely helped me make my decision. It's hard to believe Invisible Shield doesn't have pics like that on their site, so customers can get a real look at what it looks like installed.
Thanks again!

It felt kinda weird after i first applied it, for the first week i would say, the IS feels alien sort of to the Fuze, but after that i let it cured under a desk lamp every night. During this time, i almost think about removing it and not using it, but i let it go and just wait after a few days and voila, it's really becoming the skin of my Fuze.
The screen becomes a little bit sticky with the stylus, i do have to get used to it, but after the first week, everything is good.
Eh. invisibleSHIELD doesn't do it for me. I'm ordering bodyguardz. It looks to unprecise.

Thank you so much for posting those pictures, it does worry me a bit that the corners are exposed, you would think that the corners would be the first to hit the ground when dropped but the good thing is that IS doesnt add bulk and allows the fuze to keep its good looks , leaning towords IS but have to do just a lil bit more research

would you consider bodyguardz has the most accurate precission compared to IS, ghost armor, and whatever else? I'm still trying to find a skin that is _specifically_ made for fuze and covering the corners as well.

dont like Invisbile shield anymore but the back is good. front sucks
ghost armor never heard of them... might try it.

Insible Shield in Malls
I'm in the LA area and Invisible Shield has kiosk in some of the malls. You can se/touch/feel, etc.. it first hand. I looked at it and am going to have them (they cover the phone in about 45 minutes) my FUZE.
@cyberblue
So far, none of them covered the corners >.> none that I could find. This is because it would peel at corners and come off because they are round and not dead flat straight like the diamond is. There might be later. I ordered Bodyguardz after looking at the pictures and seeing that it looks much tougher and protects MUCH more area. and the invisible shield looks like crap. It is not fit for the fuze. Looking at the pics posted by someone on this forum, You'll notice that the screen protector and the front panel covers are not curved for the fuze. They're just straight.
***EDIT***
I'm curious. Since invisibleSHIELD usually has the correct dimensions and to the looks of this picture, it seems that the OP bought a touch pro body cover instead of a fuze body cover. I think that is a camera hole by the AT$T logo. But I'm not sure. I'll pm the poster of these pictures.
Pic:
Yea,
I did buy the Touch Pro GSM version of IS. Indeed, there is a hole in my AT&T logo, the IS had hole in it, i should have just put the small IS holeto cover it , but my mistake, i threw it out and i forgot about it.

well, the screen is different than normal touch phones.. uses the same mechanism as the iphone were it registeres the electricity in your finger's instead of the actual pressure.. thats why it needs to be some kind of speciel protector.. so my guess is that one that works on the iphone would work on the magic
I got this from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0028E7HMU/ref=ox_ya_oh_product
and its REALLY great: perfect fit, bubble free, absolutely transparent
I like the Invisible Shield full body skin. Unfortunately they haven't made on for the Magic yet, BUT they have made it for the G1 and you can either get the full body or just the screen. Now I am assuming the screen on the G1 and the Magic are the same so if you just want the screen protection, go for that one.

ive installed invisbile skin on ipod touch before and are there like places where water can get in when applying the skin onto the magic?
I must say that the InvisibleShield is rather a sh*t product. I bought the full body kit and was not happy at all. It was not cut properly and what even worse looked cheap on my phone. I removed all of the parts but screen and back panel. After 2 weeks the back panel went yellow and all the edges lost the glue making it fold outside. What even worse is that on the description it says that all the micro bubles will disappear in time. Well they do not. Oh one more thing, while mounting it on your phone you will have to wet it all with some kind spray they provide and leave it for like 24h to let it dry. DUDE THAT IS THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
got mine from ebay user dcmugen. i got the matte finish one and it of the same quality as all other screen protectors. the matte one has this grainy look to it though but all of them have that as well so no deal breaker there.
http://www.dcmugen.com/
you can check the various different screen protectors there. plus he has videos of what they all look like. has privacy glass, mirror finish, matte finish, regular gloss and whatever else there.
My t-mo phone came with one, I would imagine that they sell them in the stores as well?
ya i didnt like the one that came with the mytouch. way too greasy and fingerprint magnet. aftermarket ones are much better imo
I tried a screen protector I got off eBay, there are heaps of Chinese dudes selling them for a few bucks plus postage.
I didn't like it, it made the touch screen less responsive and imprecise. I ended up taking it off.

oh GOD i can't wait.....

....my HD2 arriving tomorrow
so, should i buy some:
screen protectors
leather pouch
anything else useful for it out there?
honestly, screen protector is a waste of money..it's glass.

1-you dont need a screen protector for the HD2
the screen is s scratch resistance
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcEaehKWr2s
there is other videos than this just search youtube
2-if you like
The screen may be glass, scratch-resistant glass too but the clue is in the name. Scratch-resistant, it's not scratch proof.
I suggest getting some screen protectors but that's just me. What harm can it do? I use a Vikuiti.
I also suggest getting a rubber case and a car holder if you need one. Check out netimes for this stuff.
another phone to send text messages with...
I suggest you buy somthing like InvisibleSHIELD, as my friend pointed out the screen is not scratch proof, also you may want to keep in mind protection of the casing!
Ignore the comments that you don't need a screen protector.
If you want a screen protector then buy one (or a few so you've got spares). There ARE people on here that have scratched their screen, in their pockets, with keys and/or change, so it can happen. It's just quite rare, hence the incorrect comments above.
Mine came with a leather pouch - the official one - and it's great. It was tight as anything when I first used it, but after a couple of days it had loosened up to perfection. It still needs to be pushed out - it won't fall - but it doesn't take a lot to get it out.
If yours doesn't come with one (some don't, unfortunately), there's plenty to choose from. Check the accessories forum where there's ongoing threads with plenty of choices.
Finally, as pointed out by BLAST3RR, GET INSURANCE!!! lol
The screen is definitely not scratch proof, I have some scuff scratches on the top right of my device from my pocket.

I second the invisibleSHIELD (or similar) solution, covers every panel, wraps around the edges and corners, feels nice to the touch.

invisible shield was reported to destroy the back metal cover after removing it

I wouldn't be surprised if it was picked at and ripped off, but I recon a little slightly soapy moisture will free it. It sticks using surface interaction rather than by anything glue like, so its just a case of being gentle and adding a lubricant.

Oooo errr missus!!
/sorry, couldnt help myself!
thanks for all the replies guys'n'gals
I just ordered some screen protectors and a packet of sock cases for the HD2 (my missus can have the pink one! )
I just rang T-Mobile and added their phone insurance on to my account so im covered the moment i recieve it today!
By the way, i know people have been banging on about the cost of the HD2 as a t-mobile (uk) upgrade, but, i got mine for free, still on 18 month and did not have to change my tarriff (£35 flext 35). RESULT

First of all.You are gonna have a lot of phone with that fun, eeehhhh sorry I meant fun with that phone ;-)
good choice about insurance and screen protectors. About the case/pouch I would still wait and try to get by with the the one delieverd with the device because a new extended battery is announced to be available next month at some point. Once this is out, there will be new pouches/cases due to the extra size. Of course just if you want to keep the option of upgrading the battery ....
Cheers,
LEE
a hat. for when you've pulled all your hair out!
