Ok thanks, so a little bit like glass?
if we are spending 500 euro on a device, what we are going to lose in spending 10-15 more? prevention is better.always.
BTW, I have ordered a screen protector along with my HD2 preorder
For that kind of dough they should have included one, they do with most all their other lines currently.

Feels solid like glass. The only bad thing about it, its a fingerprint magnet, and reflects light a lot.
Nothing is scratch proof, except for the hardest material (= very expensive ). One tiny sand particle can mess up an entire iphone screen within seconds.
Edit: I should add that of course a glass screen would be "less prone" to scratches in general than some form of polymer. So if you do not want to worry about scratching the screen, get a screen protector. If not, you'll probably be fine, but it's not guaranteed.
according to a review, the screen is made of special material, put screen protector will slow down the response. but it is still a good idea to protect it.
The term "special material" has a broad meaning. But yes, a screenprotector can interfere with the response, though I'm sure a screenprotector of a special material can be made as well, so it will have an insignificant influence on the response of the screen (see what I did there? ).

It's a great surface to use it as a mirror

Yeah, this is before it get scratches on it
I'm surprised no one has pointed out the capacitive screen responds only to fingers.....well maybe a special stylus, but I think you'll agree most of us will be using our fingers......
So in that event, what's the purpose of a screen protector?

True, your finger won't scratch the screen, however when you have your phone in your pocket and say with some coins or keys or in your bag a screen protector will be very handy to protect your expensive gadget.

...lol I dont have one but there is nothing wrong with a man bag... and I think there is a few girls on these forum
uh - yeah
I'm a girl and I do carry a small purse. I think I will have to investigate screen protectors. Don't want one that will interrupt the touch capabilities but I'm sure someone makes them. Better to be safe than sorry. I keep my phones for a couple of years. Not much worse than a scratched screen.
I will definitely put one on, not because I'm worried about the glass being scratched but I want an anti-glare protector which should help with fingerprints, smudges, glare and help a teeny weeny bit with sunlight legibility.

This may be so for resistive screens, but for the HD2 which uses a capacitive screen I think a screen protector would make no difference.
And about a response, either its there or its not I don't think it would be slowed down lol.
I am considering purchasing a 'BodyGuardz' screen protector which is meant to be really good. Maybe anyone else who is going to by a screen protector should take a look. Its basically a cheaper version of InvisibleShield
I would definitely put on a screen protector the moment I unbox it.
Not just the screen protector, but also a case (I prefer a silicon soft case) for the side and back of the phone.

Hi,
I purchased sknomi techskin and xtremeguard.
Now the sknomi comes with that spray you spray on the backside of the screen protector and front side.
My question are:
1.What is the spray made of?
2,Can I refill it?
3. Can I use the spray on other screen protectors?
4. If I do spray it, will it work the same way it did on Sknomi?
Please answer these and by numbers and thanks.
I believe it's mostly water and a tiny bit of soap. You can refill it yourself... I have the Skinomi and it even said on the bottle to just refill it with water; there's enough residual solution for many refills...

Hi thanks for answering but can I use on other screen protectors? like xtreme?
I don't see why you couldn't... I'm sure if there would be adverse reactions the manufacturer with of warn against using other brands of solution...

Yes, it's fine. All the wet application protectors use a very similar soap+water mixture so there should be no issues at all using any solvent with any screen protector that is meant to be wet for application.
Guys, I've just noticed that there is a gap between screen and metal frame on the top of device. It is big enough to collect dust and to fit a paper in it.
I don't know if it was there or appeared later.
Could you check your device?
Just in case: I'm not talking about speaker by itself - I mean gaps between screen glass and metal frame at both sides from the speaker.
It's also there on mine, and my friends'. It does collect a lot of dust, especially under my case.
Any others comments?
That's the phone speaker. It's on every N4 out there. RTFM guys

I'm not catching this. As for the gap there's some dust between the glass and metal but I doubt I can fit paper into mine. Pics?

I bought a Ringke Hybrid Fusion Case. There was a screen protector for the back side included with the case. How should I apply it? Should I apply it over the case or on the phone?

On the phone. It's to protect the back glass from dirt or dust getting under the case. Make sure that you dry fit it first and trim it if necessary. Mine was right at 1mm too long and it buckled when the case pushed against it.
That's a template for desing-your-own back feature.

That would explain the DIY card included with the case. But if it is just a template, why does it have an adhesive side?

Anyone get one without an adhesive? OR am i missing something! i have a greenish looking backing on it and when i tek it off there is no adhesive side to it.
does the screen have a plastic film on it when first taken out of the box? or is it only that plastic pouch that says nexus that the phone is removed from, and the screen is naked (just glass) ?

It's a plastic sleeve/pouch, so the screen is naked.
