Anybody Buy The TMO 'Sreen Protector'???

just wondering how many people bought the official TMO US screen protectors for the hd2? they came in a two pack for $14.99 (!!!), but i figured screw it and bought them, that way my fiance and i could have "protected screen." i put them on immediately, even before turning it on. seemed ok, not the clearest material used, made the screen sorta frosted looking.
anyways, after a month the two bottom corners never laid pergectly flush on mine and dust way getting between the uplifted areas of the cover and the screen. so i decided to peel it off and go naked without a protector.
so far i am liking it WAY better. screen seems way more crisp and clear. and the accuracy for Swype is MUCH better. not nearly as many typing errors. only downside is that you finger needs to be pretty dry, otherwise it doesn't glide to well.
just seeing what other users are thinking about it?
i'm doubtful that i will be replacing the cover

As with many things in life, it's always "better" to not use protection! However it's not as safe... I also DO NOT use a screen protector, my girl friend does and I notice the difference when having to use her phone.

I tried my phone for the first 2 days without a screen protector and almost always had to rub my finger on my shirt first so it can glide on the screen. And the smudges were a lot. I guess my fingers leak oil .
After 2 days, I put on a screen protector and its been fine for now. The screen did look a lot better without it.

ya, the shirts and pants come in handy.
i saw this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcEaehKWr2s) a long time before the US release, so i'm not TOO worried about 'protection'....^^^ in more ways than one (lol)

Screen protector
I bought this and the screen protector was perfect...the screen looks the same and swype works really well! The wall charger was garbage...made my phone wig out. But the car charger extra case and screen protector are TOPS!

"the screen protector also comes with an installation squeegee, a bottle of application solution" makes me nervous, but it looks like it would be good

I've read 2 stories on this forum where members have tried the "wet application" of screen protector and they ended up with water under their glass. The solution I read was to place the HD2 in Silica Gel or Rice for a week.

I have always put invisible shields by Zagg on my gadgets .

I heard about the rice if you happen to get your phone wet.
Will see how the "application" goes I guess.

The screen is supposedly made out of a virtually indestructible indium tin oxide which is ultra resistant to scratches and scuffs. For this reason I don't use a screen shield. I have probably cleaned my screen with every thing I can wear and its yet to be scratched.

I'm using the T-Mo screen protector. It's okay, but my primary reason for using it is because without it, the naked screen smudges like a mo-fo. When this one wears out, I'll probably go without for a while, but for now, it doesn't bother me.

I had the same cloudy looking protectors from Tmo .. and dust starts getting into it too soon. Then i took it off and wow, I was blinded by the brilliance
of the glass
Then I ordered zagg invisible shield and got it fully covered. Works for me.
MUCH better than tmo ver ..

LOL yes, exactly the reason I'm starting to consider getting one...I love the glass screen, but I have to wipe the damn thing down all the time

I installed that screen protector I mentioned earlier, it was a little different because of the application spray, but it turned out really nice.....no bubbles of any kind and you almost don't notice the protector on it at all

Thanks for the feedback, I think I'm gonna give that one a try (they do have a model for the US Tmo HD2 also)

I use BodyGuardz Full Body on mine and the screen protector that came with it looks like it's not even there.

personally, I would never use a wet application screen protector. there are lots of non we application options out there, so why even bother?

That's what I thought too but decided to try it out....all you have to do is follow the instructions and don't over moisten the protector....I also let it sit face down over night on a small towel.

tmo screen
is a big thumbs up PERIOD worth every penny

[Q] Anti Screen glare

Hi,
I have had my Acer A500 for a couple of weeks and now the sunshine has appeared, and when i am outside I have major problems seeing my screen.
Is there any thing I can use to counteract this?
I have searched the forums and there seems to be answrs for other tablets, dont really know if the same answers will work for me.
Any help will be greatfully received

there are some anti-glare screen protectors for sale on ebay. I have not tried any of those yet because shipping to Mexico is kind of painful, but looks promising.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Anti-Glare-Scre...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item2a12766180

Here is my post from another thread on the same topic:
I picked up an anti-glare one made for the xoom from handhelditems.com (store brand). Cost <$7 shipped. Had to cut a hole for the camera and trim it a little, but for the price, I am happy.
Pixelation is noticable, but you get used to it. Haven't had to wipe fingerprints since.
A tip for install: Make sure it is CLEAN first (obvious), but if a little something gets under,peel it back up and use scotch tape to get it off the sticky. Using this trick, my protector went on perfect.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15238879#post15238879

When i am outside, i turn screen brightness from auto to manual,full brightness. Itdoes not eliminate the problem but it is greatly reduced.

I just ordered this for my wife

I'll let you know how it is when I get it.

This is a great product. The screen protector fits great, and there is a cutout for the camera. The screen protector reduces glare and fingerprint smudges alot.
I also found it easy to install, and the best thing was that I was able to salvage the install when I initially installed it crooked.
I normally use SGP protectors, but if you jack up one of those and try to peel it back to fix it, you might as well throw it away.
With this i just used scotch tape to peel it back, and reapplied. No bubbles or dust particles. It looks great and it gives the tab a very nice smooth feel.

I have to agree with everything you just said about this product. Just got mine yesterday, by far one of the best and easiest to install screen protectors I've ever used.

I am also another happy camper with that. I did not like the feeling of the original screen (it did not glide well?), with the protector it is a lot better. Althoug it reduces the screen sharpness a bit, which is true for all anti-glare protectors.

I just installed the screen protector from POSRUS (Available on Amazon.com). Works great to kill the glare. The Zagg protector is not really anti-glare.

I have this one too and it really is a great product, except for a little pixelation that I'm not used to yet...
There's another great brand where I often buy screen protectors from: www.brando.com.

I agree with the rest, the POSRus protector is very nice. It's elimated probably 85% of the glare and made the surface a little nicer on the fingertips, they seem to glide across it better. Another good thing is that it goes in dry, some of the others I saw on amazon were like window tint, requiring soapy water on the screen. These are much more forgiving when applying. Just be diligent in getting -all- the dust and hair off the screen right before you put it on and only peel back as much off the red tab layer as you need while applying from corner to corner.

Extreme solution for screen protectors with curved screen

DISCLAIMER: TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Supplies: Fresh screen film, a thin, soft cotton cloth, and adjustable temp iron, spay bottle, and preferably a infrared thermometer.
Video: http://sendvid.com/ez03e7q7
If you're anything like myself, then you've discovered a long time ago, that although unsightly, screen protectors do exactly what they are supposed to do.
Enter Google Pixel: A beautiful screen that's just begging for protection so that it may remain as such for years to come... But there's a major problem. The screen is curved!
After failures from tempered glass and a few different brands of film protectors, I ordered the iCarez film protectors. The technique they recommend works really well. Nailed it on the first try, no bubbles or fuzzies!
After a few minutes, I noticed the right side peeling up. Pressed and rubbed and did everything I could would not stick. Tried again with a fresh film. Same thing, although this is the closest I've gotten to perfection so far.
Here's where the disclaimer comes in.
I grab the iron and set it to "synthetic". I let it heat up for a minute and check the temperature with my infrared thermometer. It's at about *220 f. I place the phone on the cloth and fold cloth over screen. Just one layer. Lightly spray the cloth with water so it's just a little damp. Then I grab the iron and with slow, firm movements, press the edge of the screen where the bubbles are, making sure to not leave it in one place for too long.
I pull back the towel and wipe away the moisture on the screen to reveal it's working! I have 90% of the halo gone!
The last bit just wouldn't go down. So I turned the iron up to about *270 f and repeated the same motion. Boom! Flat, no bubbles or halo.
If you try this, please be careful. I'm sure exposure to high temperatures is only OK for very short periods of time.
**I will reiterate that this should be done at your own risk.**
DON'T BE A DUMMY. DO NOT PLACE A HOT IRON DIRECTLY ON YOUR PHONE.
Good luck!

I never run a screen protector. Honestly by the time I was ready to switch phones I had one or two tiny scratches on the screen. My wife always runs a screen protector and while I am sure she is just using cheap screen protectors her screen always looks like shiz. Oh the reason I dont use screen protectors is because glass apparently keeps getting better and better so where is the need.
I also don't put things in my pocket with my phone and I tend tp put the glass side in towards my skin.
Just some perspective from a guy that doesn’t use screen protectors or cases. By all means your money is not mine and spend it how you will, this is just some insight.

I ordered the iCarez [HD Clear] Screen Protector for Google Pixel XL. I have had it on for 6 days and have had No issues at all. Very nice film screen protector. For years I have used, http://www.clarivue.com/browse-by-brand-screen-protector.html. Very solid ultra clear protector.
Thanks

I see where you're coming from. I treated this phone like a sleeping baby on a land mine for the first few days waiting for a case and screen protector to come in the mail. Even then I still got a few small superficial scratches on the screen and a pretty noticeable one the softer back glass. A properly installed screen protector is barely noticeable and I change it out every few months when it gets scratched up. Small price to pay for the added protection.
It boils down to preference. At any rate, if you do like them, it's hard to install one on this phone. This is a way to get it to fit better. It's been a few days now and it's holding strong. I'm pleased.

I've noticed after my screen protectors get crappy and I haven't had them on my phone for a while, my screen never really gets scratched up. Therefore, I don't really use screen protectors anymore.
The only thing that ever scratched my screen was a titanium keychain accessory on my keyring. Regular keys never scratched my screen, but the titanium sure did. Luckily it was on a horrible temp phone I was using until my pixel arrived

I quit using protectors. Don't like the way they feel. And they have come a long way in scratch proof glass

Bought a tempered glass one about 2 weeks after getting the phone. And I got it about a day or 2 after its initial release.
Havent had any issues with it at all. Can't remember the brand, I just know it's a full protector, covers the entire front of the phone.

I bought the Supershieldz tempered glass 2 pack off Amazon as I have had success in the past with their screen protectors. It covers JUST the usable portion of the screen, not the entire front, and it works just fine. Zero bubbles and no "halo".

I've just got the orzly pro protector, covers the entire front as well with perfect cutouts
Easy to install, just hinge it and flap it on lol

Cheap Aliexpress Loca Screen Protectors

I ordered a $2.15 LOCA tempered glass screen protector on Aliexpress. Purchased 08/28 and received it today 09/17. I live in San Francisco. Overall the quality of the screen is pretty much the same as the Whitestone. This one doesn't come with the plastic alignment case that the Whitestone comes with, but you get a UV light and single bottle of glue. I used the same procedure as Whitestone but just without the guide. Also you don't get any tapes to protect the USB ports, etc. I just cut some packing tape and covered those up. I did ok, there is a small air bubble at the bottom. I hope it slowly cures over time. My experience with Whitestone is that you don't want to push and squeeze too hard. You can barely notice it when screen is on, but I'm kind of OCD so I ordered another and may swap it.
So if you have experience and can wait (Note 10/10+ comes with a screen protector), save some money. BTW, finger print works just fine.
Aliexpress Link

is that an Spigen tough armor case?
cheers

Same experience. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. Just tape over the speakers. There are some on ebay for a similar price if you don't like using Ali for some reason.
Whitestone and AMFILM are good if you need to be spoon fed.

*looks at my Whitestone with no bubbles* Hmmm... Maybe being "spoon-fed" isn't so bad.

I had bubble with my first Whitestone. I think having the guide cage helps but if you have experience, it's not necessary. There is just some luck to it.

I've installed quite a few LOCA TGSPs. Some I bought LOCA separate and then bought a TGSP and made my own kit. Worked great, was messy AF to install, cause I had NO idea how much to use, LOL. and they all chipped and cracked in a week or two.
I've also bought some cheaper kits that included the right amount of LOCA and a TGSP. They ended up lifting on the edges. Last one I tried was Note 9.
I wound buying a second used Note 9 that already had Whitestone Dome installed by the previous owner, and I loved it. So when I pre-ordered my Note 10+, I pre-ordered a Whitestone Dome for it. Sucked paying over $40, but honestly, I've spent hundreds in the past trying to find the "perfect" screen protector. Don't regret Whitestone or the money spent at all. And the installation tray made it dead simple. It was worth it to get it right the first time.
If I had to change TGSPs, if go with AmFilm, just because they're also getting great reviews are basically half the price. Or I'd go back to a soft screen protector, the Ringke Dual Easy Film. It's just basically invisible.

Depends on which one you buy the wet install ones typically suck to use with the SPen. The Ringke was awesome. Couldn't tell it was there, even with the SPen. I honestly can't speak highly enough of them. They honestly feel like glass.

Thanks. Bought one to try.

Installed it. I like it. It's not glass but very smooth with Spen. The extreme edges has slight lift but very mild. Not sure if you had some tricks to get all the edges to stay down.

I haven't tried one on my N10+, but installed them on my Note 9 and my wife's S10+. Neither one had any issues with the edges lifting at all. I wish I had some tricks to offer, but I just followed the directions.
It's funny, when I installed my wife's Ringke on her S10+ I was showing her the difference between it and the Whitestone Dome tempered glass (which are the time was on my Note 9). I was showing her how glass was smoother than her Ringke protector, but to my surprise, my finger actually glided easier across her Ringke than my Whitestone! Now my Whitestone Dome on that phone was a few months old, so some of the oleophobic coating had probably worn off and her Ringke screen protector was brand new, but I was really shocked and just how smooth it was to the touch.
As far as the lifting edges, two thoughts. One, you didn't get it lined up perfectly so maybe something is a little off? A half millimeter either way could make it uneven. But I don't think thats the issue. Two, perhaps the edges of your phone weren't clean enough and had some residual oils? Or three, you just got a faulty screen protector. If it gets worse, try the second one in the pack. If that fails, reach out to Ringke and they should replace it for free.

The lift is really very minor. Only the most OCD types will mind. Thanks for the rec. I agree how easy it's to glide your finger on it. Finger print also works better.

I installed Whitestone on my N10+, but bought a pack of Ringke as a back up. Crack the Whitestone, I can install the Ringke while waiting on a replacement.
But, I think what I'll do is next paycheck, I'm going to order the AmFilm LOCA screen protector and run a little comparison.
I've used Whitestone for a month now and am pleased, but I do think it made the FP sensor less accurate But I'll remove it and install the Ringke and see how I like it, especially with the fingerprint sensor.
I'll use that for a couple weeks then install the AmFilm tempered glass one and compare it to the others.
It means a waste of $40, but in the name of inaccurate anecdotal science, why not? And if I decide I prefer Whitestone after all, it's just a $10 replacement under warranty to go back to it. I'll post my results in a thread here, maybe with some pictures.
Sorry, I know that had nothing to do with your lifting edges. Just thinking out loud. And by out loud, I mean in silence and just typing it.

The lifting edges of ringke, when I installed on my s10+, I found it best to work them down initially then just wait a while before trying again. I waited around 30 mins to 1hr after fitting it and found they stuck down easily.
I struggled with the 1st protector so discarded it but using the waiting method, the 2nd protector sides stayed down.

If you like the original screen protector you can get OEM quality screen protectors cheap on eBay. You want ones made out of PET which are harder like the OEM ones and not the soft TPU ones that you have to install wet and they dent way too easily. I install the PET ones wet though as you have time to move it around on the screen to get it aligned perfectly and you just push out the solution (I spray purple cleaner on the screen before I install) and any dust is removed when you push out the solution.

Just installed one myself that came from aliexpress. It turned out fine but was a bit disappointed that the glass is curvy on the edges like an s10 rather than being "boxy" so the edges are a bit exposed. Can't be bothered though to buy another one and go through the installation again as it took quite some time to get it done. Fingerprint is working fine, just press the fingerprint area while curing for the first time.

I thought using a wet solution would make the glue not stick anymore for the PET types. Also I was told by Samsung that the stock screen protector is applied with a UV light to cure. So it's like a tempered glass install but a thin plastic type?

The adhesive will stick fine on the protector even if you install it wet. I do it all the time.

Cases that work with Whitestone screen protector

Are there any recommended cases that do not interfere with the Whitestone tempered glass screen protector? I know some cases can cause screen protectors to peel up in the corners, since I spent the money on the Whitestone, I want to make sure I don't get a case that won't play nicely with it.
Any recommendations?
Thanks.

I've used the Spigen Neo Hybrid on my Note 8 and now my Note 10. Both have whitestone protectors on them.

Really? I have the neo hybrid on my n10+ and have been eyeing the whitestone. I may just pull the trigger if it works with my current case.
I'm using the flimsy spigen neo flex, dont get me wrong it's a spigen so it works but hate all the finger prints, can scratch easy. The best part of it tho is its case friendly.

It certainly does. It is a perfect fit in my opinion. There is very little space between the screen protector and the edge of the case.

Whitestone protector delivered today, and a complete fail at installation.
I should have known something was up as it was missing the little suction cup, but since I figured that was just needed to remove the guide it should not be a big deal. Watched half a dozen or so videos, felt pretty confident to get started. Took everything slowly, but when I went to move the liquid to the center it kept flowing to the bottom. Even after I laid the phone back flat on my desk, I tried tilting it in the opposite direction, but the fluid appeared to be just running out the bottom between the 2 pieces of the holder.
At that point took everything out and cleaned it off, tried again, this time the glue did not spread to the top of the phone (my desk may not be perfectly level, but it's also not way off either). With the screen protector dropped I tried to coax as much of the glue towards the top as I could. For some reason all the glue seemed to just want to run off the bottom of the phone and then end up between the 2 pieces of the holder/alignment thing. The phone was pushed all the way into it, with the glue initially dropped on the screen it stayed in place, but for some reason after that it just wanted to run off the bottom no matter what.
Ultimately, what I am left with is a bunch of small bubbles and an area around the camera that has no glue. I should have just grabbed a cheap protector and been done with it. Leaving the Whitestone on there for now, even with the bubbles and piece around the camera it is still better than nothing. But, I'm pretty frustrated with the whole thing.

Sorry to hear this, I have been thinking about getting one of thhese whitestone protectors, but then I encounter sad stories, and there are worse ones! I will stick to the tpu/pet/hidrogel ones

It's definitely frustrating as I carefully followed all the steps. The Whitestone does feel great though and the fingerprint reader is not affected at all. Just have the annoying piece by the camera where it didn't stick.
Also, can confirm it works perfectly with the Spigen case mentioned above.

Mostly all of them have worked fine for me so far. I'm eyeing the new Marcel Case by samsung as well .. hope that fits it too

Dang I hope it goes well for me, just ordered 2 yesterday with promo code $52

Good luck, take your time and you will more than likely be fine. What stinks in my case is I can't fix the messed up piece.

Are there any recommended cases that do not interfere with the Whitestone tempered glass screen protector? I know some cases can cause screen protectors to peel up in the corners, since I spent the money on the Whitestone, I want to make sure I don't get a case that won't play nicely with it.
Any recommendations?
Thanks.

Hej...
I'm using Clear Ringke Fusion with Whitestone and there's no problem at all...no peeling on the corners... nothing...
Between case and glass is little space which allows to cooperate perfectly
