This simple guide will instruct how to easily scratch the tempered glass of the HTC HD2:
1. Go outside.
2. Put your hand on the ground.
3. Put this same hand in your jean's pocket (some sand particles will enter).
4. Put the HD2 (without case) in this same pocket.
5. Go on with your day.
At night (probably before) you'll discover small scratches.

I recommend screen protector from other reasons. Glare reduction, lower screen sensitivity, and lower friction.
Leo's screen is glass, not plastic. No matter how gross it gets, my fingers still does not glide on it as on older resistive screens. Plastic protector really helped.
this is a very stupid topic, wasted 20 secs reading it, and I'll probably waste a few more moments wondering what the creator was thinking.
I would recommend a full body cover like this: http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-hd2-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

1-Put your hand on the ground
2-Put this same hand in your pocket
3-take your unwraped sandwich and put it in that same pocket
4-keep it there all day
5-than eat it.
you should wash your hands after playing with dirt!!

lol this made me laugh
1.carefully balance phone on forehead.
2.gently smack said forehead repeatedly into brick wall.
3.study phone. If no scratches return to step one and repeat.
4.mention to the world if only you had a screen protector on, you could have saved said phone.
I suspect if the 'dirt' can scratch the glass, they can scratch through the few microns thick of plastic shield. Each to their own.

lmao. 6- you`l find bread crumbs all over the screen lol.
joking aside, actually thats handy to know, i normally work on building sites although been layed off at the moment. i thought the screen was practically scratch proof after seeing the scratch test video with the guy using razor blades scissors and keys. good to know now even in a secure sealed pocket its going to get scratched with the slightest bit of dirt on my hands. you may of just saved me the horror of taking my phone out my pocket an seeing it de-faced! lol

What will happen if I put my hand in my other pocket.. or perhaps I may not have pockets on the garment I'm wearing on that particular day, what should I do then?

Anyway some posts really funny
strange topic (and returns to brick wall)
I'm using plastic protector. Yes I feel it glides better. Happier when using Swype.
But plastic is easier to dent and those marks are a little bit annoying.
Whats the best way to clean the hd2 screen? Is spraying a bit of window cleaner safe?
I use my forearm, it's nice and hairy and makes it look brand new
A clean dry cloth does the job, no need to use product and I would avoid water anyways... Just rub it with a clean dry cloth and watch the screen shine like the day you unboxed it
I wouldn't spray anything on the screen; I use a "Spontex" microfibre glass cleaning cloth. It's very soft and buffs up the screen in seconds leaving no fibres behind. They cost about three quid in tescos and also do my specs!
I use the inside of my t-shirt lol... or if its a bit greasy from the side of my face I'll breathe on the screen first to give it a tiny bit of moisture and then use the inside of my t-shirt... works very well
I rub it on my trousers, shirt, jumper, t-shirt, boxers... whatever's easiest at the time. I do have a glasses cleaner at my computer desk and tend to use that when I'm sat there. That gets great results.
Plus 1 for the micro fibre cloths. Absolutely amazing results, albeit they feel a bit strange in your hands (the micro fibre cloths, that is).
WB
Never use liquids to clean the screen as it may intrude around the edge (a strong breath is best)
The screen on the HD2 is very duarble so the inside of a Tshirt is excellent and very handy if you are dressed (always make sure there is no grit/sand)
and never to be using scrotum, because to catch hair can be very painfull and maybe also hygene problems

Lol @ laserviking
I dont own a hd2 but i carry a micro fibre cloth that came with my plasma tv i hace the nexus one
Another vote for micro-fibre cloths. I usually use the one I got from Specsavers to clean my glasses with. The advantage of this over clothing is not just that it's softer (and thus guaranteed not to scratch) but that it is far better at absorbing grease, which means the screen ends up completely free from finger-prints. Using your shirt tends to spread the grease around rather than removing it.
I use the screen cleaning cloth that came with my laptop (Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Xi 3650).
It is amazing and fast, I clean the screen in 4-5 seconds and it looks new and shiny
P.S. Do not use any cleaning products or water, just a dry cloth.
hey guys after cleaning my screen with a watery sheet for glasses and not the for the first time - I got a strange problem:
my fingers don´t slide smooth anymore on the screen, it feels like they are braking and slowed down because of this dry screen.also doing multitouch zooming one handed is a problem now!
would be gratefull for any tips!

The effect will wear off after you use the phone for a little while, it's probably the substance is creating a dry effect lool. And I recommend micro-fibre cleaning cloths, your shiny HD2 will catch everyone's eye in the market!
Oh wait, don't get mugged though Spraying some window cleaning liquid might go into the device through the gaps at the side or through the hardware buttons, causing unwanted problems. Good luck cleaning xD
1. get a shirt
2. rub your HD2 on it
3. ????
4. profit!
after i got my hd2 i used a screen protector to avoid scratches and i clean it so easy just rubbing it in my shirt and thats it, but guys how to clean the edges and the speaker and buttons parts ?
all this method of cleaning the screen is with consideration that u guys have a screen protector on right?
other then the microfiber method, all other method is scratch inducing and sooner or later a scratch will appear on the screen..

Hello everyone.
I got my HD2 a couple of weeks ago and as usual with new toys, am still taking some extra care with it. I had a Touch HD before that withstood quite a few bumps and two small drops. I saw people carying iPhones in pants pockets, back and front. Given that HD2 screen is significantly larger, how fragile is it, really? I usually carry my phones in jacket pocket, screen towards the body, without any case or sleeve. Do I need to take so much care for it or is it actually more resilient than it seems? Yes, I've seen the threads with broken screens. Anything can break, given enough force.
Any serious feedback is welcomed. Thanks.
Cheers, R
Well I have had mine since it was released in the UK and have had it in my right hand side front pocket in my jeans/trousers etc, sat on floors etc and all sorts and nothing has ever happened to it at all. Its a pretty tough screen I think, as long as when its in you pocket its not at an odd angle, I cant see any problems keeping it in there. I certainly have no problems.
Scratch test
There is a YouTube video of a scratch test of the screen of an HD2, its in foreign but gives a good idea of its screen tolerances (those of a nervous disposition may wish to look away towards the end)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcEaehKWr2s
Hmm I can only speak for myself and my HD2... but my screen has 2 (really small) scratches..
I think these are from a keychain or maybe a lighter in my pocket. I don't really know where the came from - but not from dropping it.
I would recommend to use a (thin - not that thick vikuti) foil to protect it against scratches.
--> Question: What would you recomment regarding a foil to cover the screen? I bought 1 Vikuti foil and really disliked it - it is sooo thick
Edit: I think the knife in the video would be able to scratch the screen... only a matter of right angle an pressure
I dropped mine on new years eve - drunk and the only thing i noticed the following day was that i had lost the backplate lol
Someone on here very kindly gave me a replacement.
Other than that - no scratches so far
Had mine three weeks, using front trouser pocket though I am very conscious of checking the pocket for keys etc first.
I have a full body invisibleSHIELD skin, and i'm extremely happy with it.
I've knocked it a few times on the edge of tables and chairs, once on the metal hand grip on a bus seat, and theres not a mark on it anywhere.
I have a screen protector that covers the entire screen, and carry the phone in my pants pocket in the leather case that came with the phone (I'm waiting on a holster from eBay).
The screen is in perfect condition, however, I did scuff the corner of the HD2 by dropping it (in its leather case) as I went to put it in my pocket coming out of a movie theatre...dropped onto cement.
: /
I use a screen protector and have a very nice silicone case for it that fits very snug, but I'm just being careful.
I believe that common sense is enough to keep this device from being damaged. As you can see from the linked video above, the screen is very resiliant, but it's not scratchproof. Also, why on earth anyone would put it in the back pocket of their trousers and sit down is totally beyone me, but people have done it (and probably still do), but they end up on here asking how to fix their damaged screen. (My advice to them is to hook up a flex capacitor to their car, drive at 88mph, go back in time to before they broke it and slap themselves round the face and say "STOP BEING SILLY!!!")
It's tough, but not unbreakable. Just treat it with respect, look after it sensibly, and DO NOT PUT IT IN YOUR BACK TROUSER POCKET OR FRONT SHIRT POCKET!!!
As the meerkats say... simples
(I hate those adverts, but I do like Back To The Future )

Yes, and even moreso if you have a hernia! Good to see that xda is also responsible for good health advice too
I can't wait for mine to arrive next week. I can tell you from experience that the IPHONE has cracked 3 times in pocket when I put too much pressure. Apple does replace them on a regular basis. They allow for what they call a hairline. If it spiders they won't replace it but a hairline is within their tolerance and is common enough for them to replace it without question. That is how I ended up with a new replacement recently. I wasn't using the phone much but my HD battery died on site so I put the time into the IPHONE to use it. I squatted with the IPHONE in backpocket and CRACK. I probably should check my beltline while I am at it..
They replaced it and that worked out anyways as I am going to sell it. Keep my HD and Bold as backup.
The glass looks pretty solid and as many people reported it a good solid piece of hardware.
i keep mine in the case it comes with when i am carrying it around... any pocket really.
i just make sure i dont sit on it! lol
the screen itself is extremely resilient when it is out and in use.
I leave mine lying around all of the time out of the case and it still looks brand new.
I dont use any screen protector.
screen strength
being a kapasitive screen it uses a propper glass cover instead of ****ty plexi glass or resistive glass as most phones use, this naturally gives it a more scratch proof serface but makes it less resilient to actually breaking. like one guy said it all has to do with angle and preshure.. and abit of bad luck when it comes to screen protection i recomend invisiShield. they are nice and thin, VERY clear plastic so it doesnt disturb teh screen quality. and last but not least, the fabric its made of is teh same as teh stuff that they use to cover helicopter rotor blades with, so it comes with a 30 year waranty.
Thanks for all the replies so far. I suspected as much, but it sure is nice to hear other people's experience

I have a small mark on my Camera already, and I've been handling my camera with extreme care this whole week/weekend thus far. I already have a pretty small scratch (not across the lens thankfully?) and I have no idea how it happened! Been moving my phone around very gently.
Is there anything I can do about the tiny scratch, or do I just have to live with it? I get pretty OCD about small things like this, so I need to make sure there's nothing I can do to try and remedy the scratch before flipping out.
Thanks everyone.

Relax. You and everybody else's phone will become dinged up. You are carrying it around with you all day everyday.
You can use the kickstand to keep it off the table or desk and use a case or pouch for carrying.
Use a liquid lens fixer like for glasses.
I cut a little piece from some old cheap screen protectors to cover mine. I'm sure there is some effect on the picture quality, but no current phone is going to compare to a Cannon anyway.
Resisting Lens Scratch
You can always buy a thick rubber washer and glue it around the camera lens. If you do not want to glue it, you can place it in between the cover and the phone. The solution is not fool proof, but it will work nicely to provide extra cushion and space. This solution is easy and cheap. The washer should not be to tight or small in diameter, so it does not interfere with the camera.

Placing a rubber washer between the battery cover and the phone, would not do anything to keep the camera lens from resting on the surface that would scratch it.

I was thinking something along the lines of this. Basically you just need a ring that rests around the lens.
Something similar to this comes to mind. Of course, you wouldn't need to have a new lens on it. Just a piece of metal.
This could be magnetic, or glued. You could probably rip the phone apart and replace the piece with a more protruding piece to do the same, but that's far more intrusive.
I'm sure we'll see commercial magnet like solutions for this. I mean, come on. A small magnetic ring is all we need. Someone is going to bank on that.
Or how about using hoverboard technology so the phone never touches anything, and hovers in midair? Geez people, buy a case.

Why cover the entire phone with a case when you can just put something around the lens?
I don't like cases. I think these devices were made to look and function in a certain way. If they "needed" a case it should have been built more robust.
I've had an iPhone 3G with no case for 2 years. I've also had no regrets.

It was sarcasm. I too, like mine naked, the way it was born. I have a leather case on my hip to put it in when I'm not using it. Jabbing at the fact that people actually want an accessory to attach to the camera lens ring just to keep it from touching another surface and getting scratched, like there should obviously be a market for that. Anyone that anal about possibly scratching a cellphone camera lens... I'm surprised they EVER pull the phone out to do anything at all. (again, sarcasm)

Haha yea. It's a camera on a phone... My DSLR is in it's nice cushy case. My phone will reside, albeit tightly, in my pocket.
I put mine in my pocket up until today, when I got my HTC leather hip case. I got tired of the pocket lint getting in the earpiece grill.
Tip: use Scotch tape and a blunt tipped object to get the lint out of there.

It's nice and snug. There's a hole on the bottom for your fingers to push the phone up to take it out. Magnetic flap, no metal button or anything, so no worries about phantom scratches. Stays close to the hip as well, and doesn't feel oversized or anything. Tight enough on the belt that I don't worry about it falling off.
Cool. I'll definitely check that out then. Thanks.

The one I have is from Sprint online: Part Number CFH2258R
I got a case for mine simply because I've dropped my iPod touch a few times and I'm pretty sure it'd be damaged by now if it didn't have a silicon skin, the EVO's camera worried me as well... The silicon skin Sprint sells seems a lil' bulkier than it has to be tho, and the button bumps aren't as defined as they could be (my iPod touch's skin actually made the buttons easier to press, quite the opposite here). I'm waiting for a different more glossy/smooth skin from Amzer to ship before I decide if I'll just go naked or what...
i found cameraphone lens protector circles at a store called daiso near by me. works great
... and not a scratch. I was at the gym on the elliptical and my phone was knocked off the shelf up on the control panel to the ground by the woman on the next machine who tripped a little bit as she dismounted. I didn't see how the phone landed because at first I thought the woman had passed out or something and I was trying to break her fall. I was expecting carnage but I cant find a single mark on the phone. I have to figure I was lucky in this case and it does make me think, do I cover the sexy beast up or do I continue to go commando (so to speak) and hope for the best?
Anyhow I suppose it is good to know for the moment that the phone does stand some chance of surviving a drop onto a hard surface.
Awesome

I'm terrified not to have a case on my phone's but just like you I've dropped mine once and nothing happen thank goodness.
I've dropped mine unprotected a few times, and I've yet to have any sort of scratches. Wonder what this stuff is made of haha
First time was while getting out of my car- out of my coat pocket onto cement. (This was probably the worst of the falls.)
Second, Out of my hand onto hardwood floors.
Third (and most recent-) again from my hand onto linoleum (in the kitchen this morning.)
And after all that- the phone is still passably new.
Yeah I was going naked since I love the nylon and had the free screen replacement, but a fall from my car to the cement ruined all of that fun. Gotta case up the replacement model now
I'm risking it without a case right now. I've got a Zagg screen protector, but the blue ballistic nylon is too nice to cover up. I've got the free replacement + square trade warranty so hopefully I'll be covered if anything happens
Similar experience here; skateboarding in Philadelphia (super rough concrete sidewalks and street), dropped from my hand, fell right onto the griptape and off onto the street. Small scratch on the black part of the frame that's not noticeable unless you look hard.

Yeah... I didn't see it online when I registered it, so I just registered it as a Droid Maxx
I normally case em up right away not just for the protection but also to make them thicker, I find the most recent phones a little too thin to hold comfortably. With this one being a little more bulky than the current norm, a very comfortable shape for me, and the ballistic nylon which for some reason I find to feel very nice in hand I've been loathing the thought of wrapping the rascal.
That out the car door drop is the worst, done that one a few times. Seems like that rough pavement combined with the way it comes out kinda sideways so it skids a little when it hits are a killer.
I hit up Amazon for the casemate case, forget what they call it but its the clear one. I'm hoping it wont join my commuter case which I had on the phone for five minutes before it went in the drawer.

I took it back and got the ballistic back version and this one doesn't have that problem.
Pinhole
My dog jumped and caught my headset wire and sent my Moto Maxx flying out of my hand onto the sidewalk. Looked none the worse for wear except for a tiny sharp feeling speck on back by camera. I was worried that the ballistic nylon was unraveling there. Looked at it under a microscope, and there is a tiny little hole in the nylon, perfectly round, like it landed on a pin. The edges of the hole were rough, that's what I felt. I took the blunt end of a wooden cotton-tip applicator and pushed down on the area, and it smoothed out. Now it feels fine and looks fine unless you look at it under the microscope! Weird little bit of damage though!
I think the phone is tough and looks cool, but the ballistic nylon is not very grippy, so I now slap a TPU case on it before I walk the dogs!

No, it has that issue in other areas and not the Moto logo.
Its a non-issue. There is a pocket of air between the backing and the internals. The back is not glued on and there is an adhesive for the QI charging coil. You pressing on it is probably touching that, making the noise.

That hole may be for a noise cancelling microphone. Mine has it too. I had to use a magnifying glass to see it, it's particularly hard to see on the ballistic back, but mine has one too. What first drew my attention to it was that one of the cases I was looking at had a hole in the same location.
