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.
i plan to use a pouch type case for my fuze, but i need a screen protector that the corners, etc. won't start coming off with normal use.
if anyone has suggestions, let me know. And has anyone used the invisisheild inside a pouch case or without? if so, any feedback/advice is much appreciated

I´m using this ones since long time and work for me very good: http://www.boxwave.com/products/categories/screen_protectors.htm
Also know about this ones:http://proporta.com/search.php?q=protector+de+pantalla
Hope it helped,
I'm using Bodyguardz, and have been very impressed by both the quality and customer service. Invisible Shield's are good too, and I've used them before, but the Bodyguardz beat them in my opionion.
http://www.bodyguardz.com
I have used bodyguardz on my TP and invisible shield on my Tilt. I liked bodyguardz better since they actually give you 2 sets of full body protectors. also, the invisible shield version of the Tilt had a horrible fit. Also, I recommend using a different protector for the screen itself (I used the one that came in the box). the ones that come with bodyguardz and IS ruin the feel of the Touch Screen. In my opinion, it makes the screen have a slight rubbery feel to it. I also find, that response isn't as good. However, it BG protects the restof teh device pretty well.
I've been using the ones from boxwave since I got an axim x51v. Last time I ordered something from them, they never shipped it
I was considering the invisible shield, but it sounds like bodyguards is worth a shot.
I'd stay away from the Invisibile shield. The touch feels very rubbery, I threw it away the first week.
I've read some good reviews on Martin fields.

I already got the bodyguardz. Haven't got a chance to put it on the phone yet. You have to spray some stuff on it before applying to the phone, and they recommend not using it for 24 hours after applying. They can't be serious, how the hell am I not gonna use my fuze for a day? I'm sure i'll find a way to eventually, or the bodyguardz will sit in the top of my closet collecting dust.
i got the boxwave crystal clear. imo its pretty dang good, super clear, easy to apply, no bubbles...if you like the one that came with the fuze this one is like it. possibly more slippery i dont remember but really good. only thing is i paid for 3-5 day shipping and according to usps they got it the next day but the thing didnt get to my doorstep till 13 days later

What probably happened was the shipper printed a label and by doing so notified the Postal Service it was ready for to be shipped. However, that doesn't always mean the shipper ships it out the same day.
I have been using this protector I bought on Ebay... I bought a 3 pack back in January and still only using the 1st protector. I use my Fuze a lot and this protector is not peeling back or anything. Here is the link:

sale price should reflect at checkout, mine did
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).

lol i used it on my vogue i had and on my hero the universal screen protector
and on my ipod full cover and my brother's ipod
i dont have trouble with any of them... so i dont know about you.: S
Yeah, I don't know. They're a big name in the business and I know they didn't get that way selling crap. I think I got a defect. I read more reviews about them and most people seem to like them. I also checked out my g/f's more closely and I have to admit if mine had come out as good as hers I wouldn't have anything to complain about. Mine was crap, totally took away from the touchscreen.
I will be calling zagg tomorrow... hopefully they'll help me out with a replacement, they do have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee so if nothing else I'll send it back and try something else.
Sorry for the rant but you know the saying, "A happy customer tells 1 person, an unhappy customer tells ten".
Rant over, please continue...

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 have been looking around for accessories for the EVO, I preordered mine already, but want to have a case and screen protector on it.
I don't want to take a chance with this thing.
I came across this website which has many skins, and rubberized cases, but am hesitant to order, because I did a search on google, and on another android forum website everyone was giving them bad review, like poor communication, 3+weeks for the item to ship.
Plus they don't use paypal.
If anyone knows a reliable place selling cases please post a link or PM me, and here is the link for anyone who may want to order, also if you have ordered let me know how it went.
thanks

Go on the left and click HTC Evo 4g, then choose cases and all the available ones are their.
Yeah I have been looking myself. It scares me to not have this stuff before I pick my phone up..Normally when I open a new phone there is some kind of plastic already on the screen. Its usually not to pretty but I'll have no choice but to leave it on till I get a screen protector.
Since I don't really see myself slapping this baby on the side of my pants I am trying to find some type of gel body glove or something so I can still put it in my pocket and not add too much bulk.
http://www.htc-evo-cases.com/Snap-On-Crystal-Hard-HTC-Evo-Case-1727.html
I have found only that one so far..
Only problem with that snap on case (which doesn't sound TOO bad) is that it wouldn't ship out until June 21st, 17 days after the Evo comes out... That's 17 days worth of heavy phone usage to get through without a scratch!!!
Something I've always trusted is the InvisibleShield from ZAGG. I have had it on my ipod touch since day 1 and it's pretty good stuff...
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-evo-4g-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
OR Ghost Armor (which is pretty much the same thing) has it for $14.99 which is $10 cheaper than Zagg... I'm pretty sure that Ghost Armor is the stuff you can get at Best Buy now, at least for the stores in Phoenix...

ahh thanks for the heads up...those links you gave me do you know if they feel sticky? I hope that makes sense but since I am putting it in my front pocket I dont want it to keep getting caught on the inside of my pocket.
I am confused...those links you gave me are screen protectors?
I'm trying to find like a silicone case for the outside of the phone not the screen.
i hate cases, like my phone naked. going to be looking for a good cheap holster (?leather) for my belt. suggestions?

Apparently I am lost! Does anyone have any info on actual cases? People keep talking about freakin screen protectors! Am I in the wrong topic?
I've clear skinned my last 3 phones (Mogul, Touch Pro, Nexus 1). IMO, it's the best way to protect your phone and still have the "naked" look. Why add bulk and/or hide these beauties with a case? I've dropped each one of them atleast once without ever getting a scratch.
I personally feel a screen protector isnt needed. I got bubbles on the N1 screen protector due to poor installation on my part, so I removed it and haven't looked back since. These screens are very durable and hard to scratch if you use common sense.
The key to a good skin install is follow the instructions and take your time.

Yes, what we are talking about are protective skins. They are clear cases that go on your phone and protect it without adding all the bulk that comes with a big hard case

thank you for clarifying that..i honestly thought everyone was talking about screen protectors..
zagg's product is a screen protector AND has something that fits se seamlessly around the rest of your phone. It is sort of grippy (a little) so it doesn't slip into your pocket extremely easily, but they are nice -not great with a stylus though, b/c, like i said, a bit grippy.
this product was originally designed for military helicopters to cover their blade tips to prevent damage. pretty heavy duty stuff...you barely see it on there, but if you drop your phone, it primarily will keep it scratch free -spotless really. only problem is, it barely protects against impact like other bigger cases might. But its nearly impossible to scratch, nic or chip your phone.
2 things I'm looking for, and hopefully they do it right this time. A sedio front facing belt clip for the evo and an extended battery. what they've ****ed up in the past is making one not compat with the other....
I really want the extended battery experience while at the same time having it being able to snap into my belt like I'm someone god damn important =P
lol that's all I got.
I don't have any warranty and I'm not from the USA to use something like Upsie. I'm from Macedonia (Europe). The phone fell on concrete and it got a small crack on the side. The touch works (even on the crack) but it just doesn't look good, and probably it's not waterproof anymore.
What can i do about this?
Thanks!
Just keep it like that. Or buy a new one lol
I broke the glass on the back of mine, and I'm guessing i'm F*cked as far as that ever getting fixed well now I have a nice case. I wonder if it makes the phone less waterproof
