This may seem like a stupid question but: The screen is made out of plastic, not glass, right? How easily does it scratch? How does it do in a pocket without a case?
Thanks
Put it this way; I'm very careful what I put in my pocket with the phone, definitely no keys, coins or lighters. I took off the sony screen protector because it doesn't even cover the whole screen, and you'd need to cut off the tab on one corner if you were to use it permenantely.
I have a very basic carphone warehouse "cut to fit" protector on mine now, the protector itself isn't particularly scratch resistant (that is to say it's sh!t) but at least the screen doesn't take a beating.
One thing I do kindof like is that I've cut the protector down to such a size that it pops just under and between the bevel and the screen. It was bloody difficult to get the thing in there properly and without any dust, but worth it imo for the final result.
always use a screen protector, that way you don't need to bother having care of the screen.
once the protector is scratched, remove and put a new one.
I used the stock one 5-6 days ti'll the Martin Fields I ordered came to my house.
Also I bought a Waterfield suede jacket that fits perfectily the xperia and is really thin, but protects from scratches the x1 itself.
Thank you for the replies! I should order these along with my phone?

Guys, I need your help. When I bought my new HTC Touch Pro GSM it was staffed with 1 (!!!) original screen protector. And what you think? Of course, I did not apply it correctly, so I need another screen protector. I live in Russia, Moscow (so sorry me for my mistakes in English) and there is NO any screen protector which can be similar to original. I am totally f*cked up with any another screen protector which do not compare to device - I just cannot apply it normally.
So, guys, I need ORIGINAL SCREEN PROTECTOR FOR MY HTC TOUCH PRO GSM or I will become a madman!!! Where I can buy it?! I am ready to buy it in another country and then deliver it to my house by DHL or smth like it. And do not show me invisibleSHIELD, bodyGUARD and other **** - I just need ORIGINAL screen protector, which I can apply to my device normally - without tries to choose correct size, without cutting edges etc - just buy and apply.
Thanks.
I can not believe that nobody does not know where I can order original screen protector (or totally similar to it) for Touch Pro GSM!
I've ordered the boxwave ones, they're very similar to the OEM ones in feel and application.
Can you give me link to "boxwave"?
And what you think about this:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=166218
It says: "Manufacturer: HTC", so it can be similar to OEM too?
http://www.boxwave.com/products/easyfinder/buy-best-htc-touch-pro-accessories_3260.htm
That's probably the regular OEM on Expansys-usa, but Boxwave includes a screen protector for the buttons too, and people have bad experiences with Expansys.
Why don't you reuse the one that came with it. There is no adhesive on the screen protector it is held on by static "cling" Wash it, dry it with lint free cloth or air duster. if there is dust on it at that point use clear scotch tape and stick it on, pull it off it will remove any dust then reapply. I reapplied mine the other day it works great.
I explore all this tips only after I am totally... sh*ted OEM protector. So, now I must order it in shops.

You already use this protector? Or only order and waiting for it?
I currently use the BoxWave. I ordered the 3 pack, 1 anti-glare and 2 crystal clear. Currently using the anti-glare. As said, it has the same feel and thickness of the stock/OEM protector and feels the same when I swipe my finger across the screen.
I don't know about the expansys one.
But what about applying? Any problems?
And does it REALLY match size of the screen? And what about hole for front VGA camera? Just I didn`t see it on screenshot.
I didn't have any problem applying and reapplying, but no hole for the camera, as the US version does not have them, but it does match the screen. You'll have to contact them to see if they have any or can make it for you.
You'll be hard pressed to find the original screen protector with the VGA cut out. Not even the expansys version seems to have the cut out.
Ok, thanks for answers - I will order BoxWave soon.
I have had screen protectors on every phone I have ever owned and fully intended to get one for my HD2. However, I have had it for two weeks now and the screen is just as fresh as when I got it, as is the rest of the device. And I don't treat it with kid gloves like some do.
Thanks to the toughened glass I genuinely believe this is the first large touchscreen phone that doesn't require protection for the screen so all credit to HTC. I doubt I will bother with one now.

I also do not have a protector on it and it stills looks crisp without any scratches. Another advantage of this screen, although it's a fingerprint magnet, is that it is very easy to clean, especially compared to resistive screens with or without protector.
Not needed in my opinion after 2 weeks of abuse not a single scratch xD
No protector here, I reckon a screen protector would just ruin the silky smooth feeling you get when using your fingers.
That being said a screen protecter will proabably stop your screen being chipped if it acciendently skips across a concrete pavement
ive got a protector on mine, i really can't notice it on, screen still looks hot !!
After a number of reviews, I suppose this device doesn't require additional protection. Try this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcEaehKWr2s
Got a brando screenprotector on it... mainly a force of habit I guess. Just want to make sure nothing happens with the screen hehe.
Haven't noticed any difference in response btw so for now I'll just leave it on. Perhaps in the future I'll take it off again but for now I'm just extra careful.
Apologies for what could be a stupid question but I purchased this device and the SPP300 screen protector as they were in a bundle. Is it true that screen protectors cannot be taken off after installed? I read somewhere that their glue is so sticky that they can't be taken off.
Thank you.
I have a Brando Ultraclear on mine too.
Had some trouble applying it so it doesn't look that shining as it should
I also have a cheaper unbranded version which i will try if i'm sure that no screenprotector is needed.
Removing the Brando will probably make it unusable and i'm not sure if the unbranded version will be any better.
Anyway I haven't notice any change of touch sensivity yet.
Why put a screen protector on??? You may as well have a resistive plastic screen. It's glass chaps, unless you scrape grit and stones over it you will be fine.
I got a pack of 6 screen protectors from eBay in time for the arrival of my handset, used the phone for a couple of days then added the protector and have found no difference in performance. I have the peace of mind that at least there is a little extra protection for the screen, whether it needs it or not.
Why not shell out a couple of extra quid to help protect such an expensive device? It can't hurt....
Used for a week without a protector. Put one on a week ago (just for my own peace of mind) and havent notice any issues in use. Don't notice the protector, screen is still good and sensitive, and display looks just as brilliant.
Would admit that it is a b****er to put on though - and keep the bubbles out.
I bought a screen protector with my HD2 and put it on pretty much straight away and think it is perfectly usable with it on. Plus it's a peace of mind thing too.
Cheers......Mad Jock
I had trouble using the original P300 protector and had to remove it immediately. This started interfering with the proximity sensor on the left side of the ear piece. Although the screen protector has two holes that allign exactly over the proximity sensor yet the screen would not turn on when taken away from the ear.
Before I put it on the proximity sensor was okay and after I removed it was again okay so I blame the protector for not allowing the sensor to work when it was on.

agreed.
glad someone isn't behaving automatically due to lack of information about their device. the HD2 has a TEMPERED GLASS capacitive screen. you will not scratch it unless you take tools to it!
putting a screen protector on the HD2 is like putting GladWrap/cling/seran wrap on bullet-proof glass.

Tempered glass? Good to know.
I put a Brando Anti-Glare screen protector on mine and it works fine. It doesn't block the proximity or light sensor, and is fairly easy to put on. Sensitivity is unchanged as far as I can tell.
Main reason I specifically chose the Brando Anti-Glare screen protector is because it has a textured surface that resists fingerprints waayyy better than the tempered glass surface of the HD2.
Image quality suffers slightly but at least it's smudge-free now

I've scratched the HD2 glass while extracting from my pants' pocket.
I got a tiny little nick on mine within the first couple of days. No idea how - I was being so careful with it too as its the first time I haven't put a protector on straight after unboxing. Its pretty small and doesn't show with the backlight on but a real pain all the same. Bought a Brando protector at the weekend and still trying to decide whether to apply it or not.
i have been trying to figure out whether there is a screen protector attached to my xperia play which was bought form germany.
Can anyone infom me how to make certain that there is a screen protector attached. As I would iike to know if i see scratches on it that those scratches are only on the screen protector and not the screen itself.
From the other threads ive seen. The one that comes already on the phone when bought is some sort of shatter-proof layer. So in a way it is a screen protector (and a pain to get off apparently).
But i installed the spare from the box to prevent the one on the screen getting scratched. I havent noticed any difference in the screens responce so all is good. Better safe than sorry
The screen protector comes in the box, not attached to the phone
An easy way to test if it's on the phone is to take a piece of tape, put it on a corner of the device, and slowly peel it back. If there's a protector on your screen it will lift off with the tape. You don't need to pick at it or use a hair dryer. You can use more tape to 'dab' off bits of dust, hair, crap too before letting it settle back down. Just squeegee out the bubbles and you're in business.
The stock screen protector is rubbing off so I replaced it with a new one.

Unlike the stock one, this one is the hard glass. (the stock one is a film).
The problem with this screen protector is that it is a grease/finger print magnet. Ususally I can remove the grease/finger print from the screen by rubbing it on my shirt. With this one, it just moves the finger print grease around. No my shirt is not greasy because I tried it on another phone and it didn't smear the grease around. The only way to get a clean screen is if I use a micro fiber clothe with some water. Also I noticed that my screen is not as bright as before with the new screen protector, especially when using it outdoors.
I was thinking about remove the screen protector all together. Since our phone has Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3, it "should" be fine. But before I remove the new screen protector, just wondering if anyone is going bare on the screen and if they have any issues with scratched screen.
Thanks
I haven't had any screen protector on my phone since october. Screen is fine, although I haven't dropped my phone.
I have been using the same screen protector which i bought from aliexpress and i can feel the brightness problem but i am fine with it since this tmp glass removes entirely the ugly black borders from the phone.
I dont know if there is a good color tempered glass which does both.
Just removed the aftermarket screen protector today and going bare. So far it seems fine and resistant to scratches as well. It feels a lot better than the stock screen protector or the aftermarket one. It is a lot brighter and really smooth. Another thing that I noticed is that it is a lot more sensitive to the touch.
Never used any sort of screen protector on my phones. Never a single scratch.
As long as you do not put any other items in a pocket with a phone, it should be fine.
I have tried 3-4 different screen protectors and none of them seem to stick properly. They never want to stick on either (or both) the left and right sides of the screen. idk what the issue is but I've never had that problem on other phones
I'm too afraid to not use any screen protector. The camera lens scratches so easily that I don't trust the glass at all.

I Have the same problem. While the screen protector is ok and protects the phone, it catches fingerprints and the most anoying thing, outside it reflects everything and I can't see very well. I didn't find any matte or anti-glare tempered glass screen for le pro 3. Only iphone and something else. If anyone finds something good post a link please.

It has been a week now since I removed all screen protector and I am happy that I did it. It feels so much better and I can say that the gorilla glass on this is legit. I work in a warehouse and I have my keys and a box cutter in my pockets. I try to keep them away from my phone but when you are moving fast, sometimes the box cutter ends up in the same packet as my phone. So far still no scratch on the screen.
I'm still keeping mine, even if reflects everything because on my old phone covered with full cover, front and back, dropped on a corner of the screen, the screen protector took the fall and broke instead of the actual screen. So better to be cautios.
Mine came with a screen protector (X727), but I ripped it off very quickly. I haven't broken a single smartphone yet.
No screen protector since day one. No case either. Dropped it few times and cosmetic glass around camera cracked. Front screen is pristine, which is surprising since I am not careful with it.

Found these cases on Amazon that provide screen protection. I have used similar cases on other devices and have had good luck in preserving the screen without the use of a screen protector:
kw mobile canvas case
kw mobile cover shell case
Never used any screen protector on my smartphones, since my first Sony Ericson P800 years before the first iPhone were released...
Never broke the screen, had a few small scratches on some of them (not all though), and I usually keep my devices for 3 to 4 years. My previous phone was a Samsung Note 2, the screen is still perfect.
I will not put any screen protector on my Le Pro 3 either...
I was using the stock screen protector which was preinstalled until today. Sand scratched it so I removed it.

Is anyone having issues with corners of your tempered glass protectors not adhering properly? I'm getting white ghosting all around the protector. Replacement ones had the same effect...

Same problem for me.I think its because of the curve of the screen
I got the full coverage one from aliex, no problems with adhesion, but it's an awfull magnet for smudges and fingerprints, and dulls the colors of the screen, gonna run it a few days just for kicks, but I'll remove it for sure.
And oh, havent had a screen protector, not since day one, and no problems, not a scratch on my phone (I do take care of my gadgets though)

mine doesn't even cover the screen fully...baffled by this, honestly.
I removed screen protector today. Got sick of dust and other sht all around due to corners of glass not adhering properly. The phone looks much better, so far so good.
Just in case try to avoid keeping it with keys etc. Also check this .
