I appreciate your warning, however this has been discussed in great depth before on this thread and is why HTC so nicely provided you with a protector in the first place
thanks for reply .I do not know this thread discussed before,and if i knew so my screen still clean

If you search you will find that there are threads about replacement covers for people who have scratched their HD. Most likely in the Blackstone accessories forum
I knew this after seeing my work mates Diamond, he asked me what the clear plastic on the box was for just a little too late Im afraid
Having had an LG Viewty for 18 months and using their stylus on it constantly, I found the screen protector to be much more of a hinderance than a help and as a consequence had not used the screen protector on my HTC Touch HD.
YMMW.
IMHO As far as quality goes there are screen protectors and there are screen protectors.
I always use one but have had problems in the past with el-cheapo ones so I only buy decent brands which a worth the month as they last a LONG time, do not hinder the interaction with the touch screen or alter the viewing experience.
And don't worry too much Gray_Fox, again IMHO it doesn't matter what you write on this forum someone will always chip in with a very supportive "use the search function!" Do a search on being told to use the search function and you will see what I mean ;-)
i think ive used mt stylus twice since i got device
yh i never really use mine especially with duttys rom

Obviously it can scratch, it's only plastic. The front of my HD has little scratches all over it, all on the included screen protector.
Keep the tip of your stylus clean or use a screen protector, pretty much common sense really.
I use mine all the time, and i have no scratches at all. You people must press VERY hard!
Kind of them to bundle a screen protector with the package but why not send a Blackstone that's already got one applied? Or even better just make a more resilient screen, I don't remember any other of my HTCs having this problem!

My review of the screen protector from Nushield.
(Purchased 2 anti glare, 1 clear model screen protector [comes in a package of 3 only]~ 12 USD)
Install:
-Installation is pretty straightforward but requires some experimenting to get the film in.(Doesn't use a sticky film, but rather a slide in)
-Warning, Make sure that there is no dust under the screen! It is a pain to take out. Trust me i know, i accidently wasted a film by bending it to take it out.
-When you first get the product, u might think that the screen protector they sent you wasn't yours since it looked to big to be fitted in. But actually it fits perfectly once u manage to slide all sides in.
Sensitivity loss:
-On a scale of 10(10 meaning no sensitivity, and 0 meaning no screen protector) it receives a 1.
-However, I did find a HUGE improvement in the touchflo scrolling than without the screen protector.(If you own a kaiser, you should know of the smears and awkwardness of sliding ur thumb to scroll.)
Overall feel and look:
-I actually dont notice it, and it is fingerprint proof.
-Using touchflo feature, the thumb easily slides across with no smears, in other words i dont get that suction feeling.
-And dont forget this is a slide in, so you dont get those bubbles you get from using the provided screen protector you got with the kaiser. The screen protectors surface is really smooth, its like sliding a thumb across a sheet of printing paper)
PS: I have not tried the clear film yet, and dont think i have to. The antiglare film seems to be secure and feels as if it can last years...
My rating for the nushield screen protector is a 9/10.(would be 10/10 if it was easier to install, but then it wouldn't work as good )
As for purchase instructions, go to www.nushield.com and choose the HTC TYTN as for screen specs since it is the same as the kaiser. (I was foolish to try to custom make the screen protector for the kaiser only to realize that its the same size as the tytn!!*got email telling me that *) You can mix and match as i did by putting which films you would want under the comments on checkout.
Thanks for that, i was looking for a good screen protector but i didnt want those sticky ones. This is perfect and from your review, it seems to do a great job too!
Thanks, i just ordered one, but as you said, there was no 'kaiser' ones so i just ordered it for the tytn
I'll always be a fan of PocketPCTechs.com's WriteShields. And during October, you can get 20% off if you use this coupon code: PPCTRC1007
Type it into the Special Instructions field.
Just as an FYI to anyone else considering ordering the NuShield: I decided to try some based on this review, and also decided to get two anti-glare and one clear. I got the following response:
While we are always trying to be accommodating to our customers
special requests, this one has gotten out of hand. Someone must have
posted on a discussion board that we will do this. This request is
now occurring several times daily and represents a significant amount
of time and effort to put these special packages together.

Guess they don't like doing that very much.
EDIT: and fwiw, they appear to currently be out of anti-glare anyway, so I ended up ordering clear.
Martin Field's OverlayPlus
Best. Screen protector. Ever. Period.
It's non sticky, invisible, and best of all: If you mess up (e.g. bubbles, dust) while putting it on, you can just rinse it off with water, let it dry for a few minutes (or blow dry), and voila: It's clean and sticks again.
I've been using these things on my mobile phones, PDA's, Nintendo DS, etc, for as long as I can remember. Even after 5 years, you can simply take the screen protector off and your screen will look brand new.
Already have a small scratch? Put the screen protector on and it's gone

I thought the 8525 is the same as the TyTN, and the screen protectors for it won't quite fit the Tilt.
But you can confirm these will fit the Tilt?

Unless it's an unusually small screen protector for the TyTn/8525, you are correct that it will be too large for the Tilt. I had to trim about a millimeter off of each dimension of my Boxwave ClearTouch Anti-Glare for it to fit.
I really like the Boxwave protectors. I had one protector last for over two years on my Treo 650, and similar to another protector described, if you want to clean it just use hand soap and water and stick it right back on.
In fact, I found that if the protector is slightly wet, it is much easier to get the bubbles out. It took almost no effort after I trimmed it when I put it onto my Tilt's screen.
So do any of these make the screen easier to see in direct sunlight?
I just ordered 2 BRANDO superclear ones ... have had a lot of phones and have had a lot of screen protectors but i have to say brando is DEFINATELY the best.

I confirmed it in my review. BTW Dont be stupid and trim it, it fits perfectly, trimming it would cause it to be loose once its in which will become an annoyance.
I just received the overlay plus screen protector for the tytn, and it does not fit the kaiser screen. The tytn overlay is larger than the kaiser's screen. I hope martin fields accepts exchanges.

keep trying to fit it in, if you read the original review he says that it's very hard to get it in there, but once it's in...it's gonna do good.
I was able to fit it in but its not on perfectly because the overlay uses a silicone adhesive, which makes it somewhat difficult to maneuver unlike the nushield screeprotectors which you just slip in.

wait....i think this is a case of miscommunication, I thought that you couldnt insert the NuShield protectors in, so I said to keep trying because the original poster said that it took him a little bit, but now it seems like you are talking about another kind of protector.
Conclusion: I'm confused
a lot of 99 cents only stores have 10 for 1 screen protectors that are larger than the kaiser. i bought like 5 of these (50 count) and just cut them to the size of the manufacturer's protector. it takes about a minute and avoids the highway robbery of screen protector prices.

aaaah, makes sense. I already have my 6gb micro sdhc and my nushield protectors...im just waiting for my kaiser
Nushield now has a drop down menu for Tilt in ATT and TyTn II in HTC sections. I will order them since it seems like a pretty good value.
i ordered a shield from shieldzone.com
i have used them on my blackjack and digital camera, but never a PPC device so I will have to see how well it works..
Hi , does anybody know of a good scratch remover for the touch hd screen ?
I was going to buy displex but it says not for touch screens , Iv seen the applesauce cream for ipod touch and iphone but wasnt sure if that would be ok
any help will be much appriciated
Hi,
You could try iDrops. You can get them from http://podshop.com/idrops/
Don't expect wonders after a couple of seconds of polishing, but if you put some effort in it the results are not too bad.
Some Serious Hazyness May Occur <-- speculation

Backgroud:
I had the same problems, I'm a low-maintenance type guy, I throw my stuff around, put it in my pocket with my keys, etc.
I soon noticed that my prized BlackStone was getting tons of scratches
My Thoughts:
You should not use the same solution out for the iPhone because the iphone has class layer on the top of it, and the solution you mention is probably an obrasive.
The Touch HD has a plastic type mebrane on the outside of it, with the glass surface under it; recessitive (BlackStone) vs capacitive (iPhone). I could see some serious hazyness happening if you try using that solution on the BlackStone <-- speculation
Suggestions:
This worked for me,
I bought CP Screen protector http://stores.ebay.com/Invisible-Armor-For-Your-Device and installed it, it covers up the scratches and protects it against future scratches
Although they advertise it a scratch proof this is fasle it does get scratches. But I figure, once I have enough scratches I'll peel off the product and install a new one. This solution has to be cheaper than replacing the the outer memberane of BlackStone as it probably requires cracking open your device
Note:
The CP screen protector makes the screen slightly more mushy, only noticable to a power user though.
I hope you find this helpful / informative

yes it is. imagine that you can have some dust particles (which, in the end, is just stone) under your stylus

??? Off topic i know but Stone ???? Surely dust particles are generally human skin, in the house anyway.... Stone...my god no wonder i am putting on weight if all i am eating is dust !!
Sorry couldnt help that bit of fun, no malice intended. I concur though that so long as you have a screen protector on of some nature you should be fine to draw away to your hearts content.
Yes, I get small, small, "stone" on stylus on my old HP 4150. You can just imagine what I did with that screen. Since this disaster, there is allways screen protector on all my mobiles, pdas,....
whilst im not convinced that dust could scratch it since just is just human skin im positive that all the other crap that sticks to the screen finger grease can and will scratch it if run over with the stylus.

Take as much care of your stylus as you do your screen. Check the end of your stylus for chips and scratches.

i actually did scratch mine in the first days.
the protection it came with was already gone so i removed it.
but i did not want to put the real one on if i had to return it to the store.
i scrolled up in the wether panel and voila a big scratch all over the phone.
i guess the stylus had a sharp end.
you could hardly feel it with the finger but the stylus stuck at it and you couldnt use it anymore.
but my store swapped it without question
thanks for all the replies guys
so as you guys advised and blah blah...
i didnt put the screen protector...and what I found on my screen when I went to bed?
SCRATCH!! just a little one...but it is there...
so I learned a lesson..and now I wanted to apply the SP but really couldnt, then I accidentaly touched the adhesive side (I did applying screen protector 1st time ever) and it got dirty OMG ..I hope I can wash it somehow and reapply or whatever..
Yep so anyone who will read this thread without having SP applied - DO IT!
Very good advice...because if you will read this thread and wont apply SP you will get a scratch, black magic!! Buhuhuhaha
Just kiddin...
Anyone using x1 this way? Are there any scratches on the screen or is it safe to screw the sheet?
Yes! Since December! And no Problems
I did, but I put my X1 in my pocket often (although not in same pocket with keys) and also use it the majority of the time without a case. So a screen protector ($10 USD!!) is a small investment for protecting the screen.
I had mine since september and never used a protector or case
keep it in my pants pocker or inner jacket pocket without anything else
no problem for me
nice to hear that! I'm using a softcase for the phone and was just wondering if stilus could leave marks on the screen. Just tired to stick the sheets, I always get some air bubbles between the sheet and the screen. Thanks for the feedback
Decided to take mine off as well. The screen was not really good to read when the sun was shining on it with protector on it.
I havent used it for long but I guess it is going alright...
My recommondation to take it off..
Greets
I use one. And it has scratches on it (Quite a lot). I don't know if the screen is harder than the protector. At least I wouldn't want my screen with these scratches... And I'm usign my fingers online, never the stylus!
i used my x1 without a screen protector since nov 08 without any probs.
but 2 weeks ago i decided to buy one and only one week later i had an heavy car accident where my car flipped over two times. guess what my xperia was on the dash and was kicked around. after i found my x1 which was still navigating me there were scratches all over the phone and so on the screen protector but it saved my screen.
pls buy ur x1 a screen protector. every x1 deserved it.

what's the secret? the reason I actually decided not to use protector sheets anymore is that anytime I apply them, there are bubbles and dust between the screen and protector
I really hate protectors. I don't know why lol.
Almost 5 months without protector and the result is dozens of scrathes that are visible only when you tilt the phone under s direct light. Otherwise they are invisible. No problem there.

i know! so what do you use to clean the screen? i just realy want to stop using screen protectors. if htc is not providing any, i would believe that it is scratch resistant.
water is enough!
I think, generally, most screens now are pretty resistant. Screen protectors are highly overrated in my experience, and honestly most of them look worse than the scratches would. Why make something look bad, in attempt to protect it from looking worn
Anyway my Legend seems to be very resistant, even to fingerprints. As long as you wash your hands once in a while it's great at resisting fingerprints.
No scratches so far and I have it since the release. Also when I put my phone in my pocket and get it back out all my fingerprints are wiped off .
when i got my legend, i was really blown away by how beatiful and crisp the screen was. i placed an anti fingerprint screen protector and it made the entire screen look dull and less vibrant. but i dont want my legend to get scratched etc. but i really think htc is making scratch resistant screens. i also sent an email to htc regarding the phones screen and this is their response.
we suggest you to purchase a pouch to protect your phone instead of the non-official screen protector.Normally the touch screen of hero or legend is scratch resistant but HTC cannot promise and guarantee any potential risks to the screen by user's careless using.
so its not really reaounding that it is scratch resistant like when iphone or se says it. so im not that confident. but i really want to remove the protector.
I'm using a pouch, I'm not a big fan of screenprotectors. Pouch = great for protecting your phone against scratches .
Unfortunately they're not going to be very ballsy in any claims especially since the person replying to your email is just a random rep. Plus they're not like Apple who only has a few phones to focus on and hype about.
It all comes down to what's in your pocket with you put the phone in there. I basically have one pocket for the phone and nothing else. The other pocket can hold the keys, etc.
I have noticed that the screen must be made of something seriously dense because it nearly shaves my thumbnail if I run it along the home button the wrong way. That itself gives me a lot of confidence in it, oddly enough.

that is what i do as well. i put my phone in a seperate pocket and check for any lint or anything before putting it in, then wallet, coins, keys go to the other pocket. i just hope that htc can really say that it is. i asked them about the screen of hd2 and they said it was scratch resistant, but nothing was said officially though. so quite hard to risk. tsk tsk. they should just say it instead of saying that it is glass covered.

I also bought HTC PO S491 Legend Standard Leather Pouch. I think it is the perfect match since it's HTC genuine accessory made for Legend. It's very slim and the leather quality is really high. I would recommend this pouch to every Legend owner.
Too bad they don't seem to ship to Canada... sigh....

Screen protector...
I've always used screen protectors since my first Pocket PC way back in 2001. It's a personal preference, but my feeling is this; If HTC believe the screen is scratch resistant and therefore a screen protector is not needed, why do they manufacture them specifically for this device?
I purchased a pack of 2 when I bought my Legend last month - genuine HTC Legend screen protectors!!?? Why make them if you don't think the device needs them?

i have been using htc phones since 2007, ive had a lot of phones and they usually provide screen protectors. since i bought hero and hd2 they never provided it for screen protectors, so its quite weird for them not to provide for hd2 for their largest screen. i somehow believe that the screen is really scratch resistant. in my opinion
i personally use screen protectors on my cellphone/smartphone.
