how many of you guys are using screen protectors? im using one, but it keeps getting dirty every 2 weeks. im beginning to think if its even necessary to have one for my device.
It depends on what you mean by dirty. In a way you have answered your own question. If you didn't have a screen protector, your screen is potentially left open to abrasive scratches. My understanding is that once a screen is scratched, tough. It's much easier to replace a protector than a damaged screen.
I didn't realise how delicate screen protectors were when I applied the one that came with the MDA. I've just replaced my original thin protector with a Hightec one from durasec £7.95 from Ebay. They also do thinner ones for less. Like everything in life, you get what you pay for.
Bottom line is the standard motto. Prevention is better than cure.
I am using a Covertec one, and it is fine since a while (more then 2 month).
Boxwave
I'm very happy with the Boxwave clear protector.
I wouldnt go without my brando screen protector ... been using them since my P900 had no problems with dirt or scratches ..
Brando
I use Brando as well. It's the best.
I use 3M, is't 3M the best?
I'm using the brando ultra clear but the application was fudged up; for some reason there was already dust on the screen protector despite it still being seal :shock:. I peeled it off, start applying when I realized that it was leaving marks on the screen.
Washed it then reapplied and in the process, I managed to drop my cutter on it , blade first, and there's a small scratch on one corner.
Definitely going to have to have another go. With respect to clarity and responsiveness, I find it to be unresponsive if the application was poor but otherwise, suits me fine and nobody could tell it was applied except due to the fact that there's a scratch on it. Anyone got any tips? I washed with cool water and no detergents. Should I use any detergents?
what kinda protectors u guys use, i mean thin or hard. I had a belkin thin screen protector on my jam and it worked perfectly for more than a year, then i sodl the device and got the O2 XDA mini s, now i am looking for some decent screen protector.
what do u guys recommend, hard or thin?
This is probably heresy, but I have had my phone for 6 months and have never used a protector and there isn't one scratch. I travel about 80% a year for work to boot. But it usually travels in my pocket as opposed to a bag or something.
cool
i was waiting to hear that...6 months in your pocket and no scratch? thats pretty good..because i keep mine in my pocket all the time..if i ever throw it in a bag..i use the case it came with.
I just got a Martin Shields and love it. Took a little getting used to having to press a little harder, but it's great and I can't even tell it's on there.
by the way, how do I uninstall the old screen protector?
It has many scratchs over it and even more dust particles under it...
I'm using the BoxWave ClearTouch screen protector. I love it. I can barely tell it's on. I highly recommend it. It was kind of a pain to get on properly, but what screen protector isn't.
How many of you are using a screen protector?
I just can't install this damn thing without making bubbles between the screen
and the screen protector.
Tried putting invisible shield today which covers the entire device. it came with
some spray to avoid dust but i'm still not happy with it. on the back it's ok, but
the front shield was so ugly and unclear that made me to remove it and now
i'm with no front protector at all.
The screen is more clear now but i'm afraid to scratch it.
Does anyone know how to install the screen protector in a way which it will be
totally unnoticeable?
I haven't ever used one, I find they make the screen less responsive. I do have a few scratches on my screen though but they are invisible when the screen is backlit...

Your screen protector is a must as scratches can appear on your screen very easily without it.
As for the bubbles I've managed to get mine on with only a couple of bubbles around the speaker & 3G camera. Doesn't bother me to much any more
Try this thread as it has a number of recommendations on which is the best screen protector to use
Yes, the screen protector is a must!
Especially for a device with such a huge display. I have read here about cracked displays and I am sure that screen protectors give added resistance against cracking (besides their primary function against scratches).
It takes PATIENCE to apply one though. I wasted 2 before i managed to put one flawlessly (well almost)
Some of the protectors can be washed and re-applied.
Do you really think it has some impact on the way the screen respond ? Does the screen protector makes the bends more noticeable when you press on the center of the screen ?
I've used my Universal for over 3 years with no scrren protector, and there is a mark in the top right where the X icon is but no other issues. However the Universal is a clam shell design so the scrren is protected when it's in my pocket. I don't think I'd want to use the HD without one.
I couldn't fit the screen protector that came with the HD properly because it has to be done with microscopic precision. However I bought 6 protecoter for £3 on Ebay from Ecell and am very happy. They're much easier to fit because they're a fraction smaller, plus you can use a couple to practice with and still have spares left over.
I use the protector from day one and I can't imagine not using it. It's just too much of a risk, and by watching my used protectors, how they're covered with scratches, some of them quite big and quite deep. I would not want to have this permanently on my screen.
I have bought some additional protectors as well. I predict I will be changing protectors every 3 or 4 months.
I have no idea why everyone seems to have so much problems with applying them. It was very easy for me to apply both the stock protector and the Brando protector. Just clean the front screen as thoroughly as possible with a piece of cloth that does not leave those small fabric hairs. I used a cleaning cloth for glasses, and put a few drops of window cleaning fluid as well to remove eventual grease.
After that it was piece of cake. Started at the top and just rolled down the protector in one smooth move. Had 1 bubble, which I simply pushed to the edge of protector until it was gone.
I reccomend you do all of this in a dust-free environment. Bathroom is a good place, for example. Let the dust settle for like 20 minutes before going in. Avoid rooms which have carpets and such stuff.
I used mine for the first month+ without the screen protector and sustained no scratches. I have one on now simply because one day I was putting stuff away, saw the screen protector, put it to my HD and it went on perfectly without trying, so I decided to keep it on.

GoldCoin,
Have you tried buying on from a phone shop and asking them to install?
I installed mine as soon as I removed the "do not sit down with the HD in your pocket warning" Best way to ensure that the screen is clean. Took a couple of attemps to get it started but a little effort and I got it. Left with a small bubble round the ear piece and one top right, but that looks like a slight defect in the protector as the alignment looks almost perfect.
When installing, I peeled back a portion of the protector and aligned it best I could - incidentally, I placed the HD back in the foam that it came in to hold it firm. Without peeling any more off I try to gauge the alignment. If I think is good to go, I slowly peel the backing whilst rubbing my finger back and forth across the area just stuck down.
Here's another suggestion. PSP Screen Protector installation
Good Luck,
Yes, it's a must!
I use a screenprotector and it has lot's of scratches on it, which otherwise would be on the screen itself
Absolutely!
I Use clear-coat and are very satisfied (had it on my diamond as well and have it on my psp)
Once you get a mark on the display u will regret going without.
Thank you all for sharing your opinions. already ordered a Brando protector + 3 extra just in case i will mess things up again.
Following Rozenthal advice i think i'll apply it in the bathroom this time and not in my dusty workroom.
Bubbles are not problem. After installing screen protector just take you credit card. You can remove all bubbles with credit card.
Just adding my two pennies worth. I haven't ever used a screen protector on any of my previous phones. However Touch HD is a little bit special (as we know) so I invested. The one that came with was utter....well it was naff. I bought an invisible shield but some areas didn't dry and adhese correctly....so I opted for Exim...now this was awesome....a few attempts later and I have it installed with no bubbles at all using a credit card to apply.
(Top Tip: use selotape to remove any unwanted dirt from the screen before installing....the static tends to draw dust to it straight out of the packet....helped me anyway!)

For what it's worth, it wouldn't hurt to use a can of dust remover or compressed air to spray the area before applying. Worked for me. Just a thought.
Does the normal screen protector that comes in the box makes the screen feels like bending when u press on it ? in the center specifically ? and makes you need to press harder when u tap ?
Invisible shield on mine and wouldn't be without a screen protector on any of my devices with my way of using them and pocketing them they tend to get scratched but loving the invisible shield. Should be installed at the factory imo

I've always used one, XDA mini, Kaiser and now the THD.
In all cases I've found the sensitivity is affected but to varying degrees.
In each case I've used tweaking tools to change the sensitivity back to acceptable levels.
But im only concerned to know. Does makes the screen feels like bending when u press on it ? I already know that all resistive screens do what i am talking about but does it increase when using a protector ?

I haven't experienced this with the Exim protector I am using. In fact...it's as though there is nothing there....even when swiping!
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.
Saw in the Youtube the other day, the guy tried to scratch the screen using a small knife, not even a trace. Decided to remove mine and I'm been without it for 2 months now.. NOT A SINGLE SCRATCH! Now I know why HD2 costs so much! (to me at least)
Try it guys.. the screen without the screen protector looks much cooler, and no.. this is not a scamm... (you can always check your camera screen, I bet it's scrathless aint it?)
Agree, don't have ANY scratch after 4 months of heavy use without any screenprotector. Never had something that good before.
yea, sure its scratchless, i never understood why ppl are using ugly screenprotectors.. just to waste money?^.^
i use my hd2 7 months now and i got only onnnneeeee little scratch that nobody can see ^^
I’ve had mine 7 months and yes no scratches on my screen for me! But DON'T try to see if the camera glass/plastic can be scratched because it can!!!
I accidently caught by metal back cover on the camera bit when resetting the phone and have a nasty scratch on that rear glass! luckily it wasn’t in front of the lens so it doesn’t spoil the camera!
i have mine for 6 monthes with out scratches nither the casing nor the screen ,the best build quality phone i have ever seen msa
yeah been using mine since december of last year and not a single scratch on mine. Got another one, for work use, a few months back and it is also still just perfect.
But i have found out that the egde around the camera can really scratch another phone up, so dont have two phones in your pocket hehe
There are people that have reported scratches - me being one of them. The scratched area on mine is only visible after running your finger over it, and it disappears when you wipe it. So I wiped it clean and applied a screen protector. Now I never see it, and you can't see the screen protector either as I spent proper money on one and got the best screen protector I've ever had. (HD2 deserves the best )

after only a week my desk is show camera housing damage but i bet the screen won't stand up to having a pc dragged across it. that happened to my touch diamond while i was at work and it made it a pain to use the stylus with
have a half cm sratch on the top left of the screen after a couple of weeks use
was pissed off as watched that youtube vid.
now have screen protector and several months later am happy as larry.
not as much of a fingerprint magnet with the screen protector.

Anything that is HARDER than the HD2's tempered glass in its screen will scratch it, period. It is not scratch-proof.
The Moh's scale lists glass as 5.5. Anything higher on the scale will scratch the screen. Incidentally, a knife blade also has a hardness of 5.5. Since they are the same, it should come as no surprise to anyone that the knife had no effect on the glass.
If you use a steel file or quartz or topaz it will scratch the screen within seconds. A diamond ring would scratch it horrendously.
Agree, HD 2 looks coolest w/o Screen Protector but when it comes to WORK with it in bright sunlight You BADLY need an antireflective Screenprotector. So I have it always with screenprotector (Folix). Looks cool though with THIS one.
The rest ist simple physics: everything harder than the tempered glass on Mohs' scale will scratch, everything less harder not. Thus keep the HD2 away from diamond rings
I want my next device to have a diamond screen
No really, I was tempted to use the device without a screenprotector, yet I couldn't stand the chances, and bought some. On the other side, I cannot stand to spend up to 10USD on a foil of transparent plastic, so I went (as I always did in the past with my previous devices) with the cheapo packs, and the do work, even if it's a royal pain to apply them without bubbles, the thinnest they are and the harder it is.
Its hard to scratch, but not impossible...
My screens got 2 scratches on now.-
Be concerned about the sand, then. Depending on its kind, it can have 6-7 in the Mohs hardness scale...
you are all wrong about the screen...if you sit home with your phone in hand of course won't scratch.but how about working in construction like me!? i'm sure phone display will die in 2 weeks and for sure screen protectors are very use full. what you guys think?
Best solution would be a sapphire screen but I guess the HD2 would cost 200€ more then.

What screen protector do you have?
i got a scratch...no such thing as a scratchless sceen...only had mine for about 2 months wtf
You'd be surprised how many everyday things will scratch the screen. People think glass is so hardy and resilient but the only reason our every-day windows aren't scratched up is because we actually don't use them as surfaces and their stationary use isn't really susceptible to damage.
I know I have a couple of things in my house that could scratch my HD2 screen, and I can also imagine those couple of things coming within reach of the screen.
It can get scratches, definitely. My friend got a scratch only with his credit card. Why dont u guys buy a crystal clear screen protector, so it doesnt affect the display of our super phone? I paid £10 for Martin Fields one and Im very impressed of how clear it is
I bought s7 edge new...a few days ago...
I bought him a Screen Protector puregear, simple a bad screen protector.
And I can not find a good screen protector, In the meantime, I'm not using my s7 edge, because it.
I anyway not love screen protector, so I thought maybe... I will use my s7 edge without a screen protector
Would be very happy to hear your opinions, worthwhile or not ?
If you can elaborate This will help me, thus I will learn more.
Thanks!!!
I'm using it without one too, but I use the leather cover from Samsung(not the flip cover). Just as drop protection and because the phone is very slippery without one
I've spent more than 50$ on screen protectors still haven't find anything that last longer than a week. Somes peeled off, somes have touch issues so i decided to just use my phone naked. The phone hold up surprisingly well for the past 2 months, not any scratches even when i did drop it twice and there were some dents on the benzel.
---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------
My advice is u should definitely buy a case since the phone is pretty slippery and the benzels are so thin that u might find ur fingers resting on the screen causing touch issues.
Screen protectors are all personal preferences. From what i know, it limit the beauty of the screen, harder to see in direct sunlight, and u cant use it underwater.
Why not using it with a flip cover (but w/o screen protector)?
Best of both worlds, you can show the phone off yet it is protected all-round.

I have both. The leather one is sheer class (and better protection), the slim line one is form fitting with less protection (but still a helluvamore than not using anything).
Both make the phone look superb.
I have my s7e from since it came out, i found that my diamond bling scratches the screen when i put it on my ear so bought a screen protector but lasted 4 hours, im not fund of screen protectors i like my screen naked. Have hundreds of scratches now.
who needs a screen protector? I've never used one since like 4 years and all my phones are exposed at least to dog bites (I'm a vet and the phone is always a curious thing for them), and never broke anyone
With the s7 edge I'm using it for three months and never used one, both crystals are like new, but I'm using a spigen case because samsung's sucks
I don't use a screen protector or any protection at all, and my device (which I bought in March, shortly after its release) looks just fine. No scratches on the body, and I only have a teenie tiny scratch on the screen, which isn't bothering me. If you're the type of person who throws his stuff around, then I'd get some protection. If you're like me and you love using your devices naked, then go ahead and do that. Just DO NOT keep your phone in the same pocket with your keys etc. That will 100% scratch up your phone. Keep it generally far away from metal parts, including metallic zippers on jackets/hoodies/jeans!
I've had mine since before the official release (Tmo FTW) and I've never had a screen protector on it. I do use a Spigen black TPU case, but my screen has 0 noticeable scratches on it. You can find one or two if the screen is off and you're looking for them, but if the screen is on, you couldn't see them if you tried.
i havent had a screen protector since day one and have to scratches on mine. still looks brand new
I got a WriteRight flex screen protector (film style) from Staples in Ontario, Canada. Came with 2. First one is still on and doing well to stop simple scratches from car keys and such. It seems like there are no good options for glass protectors due to the edge. I usually would always use a glass protector + skin on body. This time i have a case that is banana-shaped to protector the screen if it falls face down and the film protector for minor scratch protection. Decent combo.
I tried multiple screen protectors and all of them were actual garbage because of the edge screen. I've been using mine without a screen protector for the last few months. It's just not worth it to me to Cripple the device and stop the enjoyment of using it because of a bad screen protector or because I'm worried about a small scratch. I've had good luck I've got a slight scratch that cannot be seen unless you're really looking for it hard after 2 months. Biggest thing is keep your keys and pens out of your pocket that your phone is in

No screen protector here. No problems ;]
Just like @ flyinj54 said, I keep my phone in my left pocket by itself. Keys and whatever else I put in my right pocket. As long as you do that and don't drop your phone you'll be good.
I tried going protector-less for a while and discovered a small scratch from somewhere. I'm very careful with my phone and hate scratches. After trying a vinyl skinomi wet install which kept on denting/imprinting, a few cheap glass ones, i've settled on the spigen plastic protector, which has been working great!
I too have spend nearly £50 on screen protectors, haven't found a good one yet, and so I now use my S7E without screen protector.
I have spend some fair amount of money on case though, I have a Noreve case, and a Piel Frama's SlimFrama case.

I did that for a while with only the Samsung Flip Wallet cover. It was fine. found Skinomi matteskin screen protector that wraps around the edges, I love it! it reduces glare and also keeps grease and fingerprints off the screen. It has almost a rubbery vinyl feel to it.

Yes i can confirm this. Even at screen off the scratches are barely visible, you can notice only if you look close to the screen. For me it really makes difference, i mean the screen is much clearer without protector because most protectors tend to absorb dirt being plastic(with all of my devices i used before never had protectors), much crispier and brighter. I dont know its just my opinion.
It's really quite simple. Unless you want hairline scratches (or worse) within a couple of weeks you use a screen protector. No matter how careful you are, this is unavoidable simply from everyday use.
Personally, I use a Zagg HD Dry. I've had the same protector on my phone since the middle of March and it still looks virtually new (bar a few inevitable marks). And with my Spigen crystal cover, it's never curled up at the edges like a lot of people have complained about.
Bottom line for me (although I accept opinions vary), buying a phone worth over £600 then not protecting it with a cover and screen protector is madness.
