Can someone please tell me how to apply the screen protector that comes with the phone as it's just a large piece of clear plastic with no instructions how to physically attach it to the display!
It has a peel away backing which is much thinner than the protector.
I struggled to find how this attached when I got mine and have since put hair and smudges on the sticky backing. Can't wait for the new ones to come online mid May.
It's a sticker that you stick on the screen. How hard is this?!
Just put it on. Work cleanly though, be prepared and do it right the first time.
Bend the corner of the big part slightly and the two parts seperate
The part that goes onto the backing bit is what goes on screen
start from the top and smooth it down
As mentioned, work in a clean/dust free environment!
I've done it many times but even this time round, I got fluff inside - just one spec thinking as it was brand new out of the box, it wouldnt have anything on the screen and so I wouldnt need to clean it !
In removing the protector to clean it out... I ruined it
Got my new Brando one the other day which feels a bit more stronger and durable but still clear so I'll be putting that on later tonight
And now I have a air can with me too so if I get anything in the way, I can blow it out rather than trying to scrape it out
I've now put on the screen protector that came with the phone, but it feels a little thin and flimsy.
I'd like to know people's opinion of other aftermarket brands of protector for this phone as I'd like to get something a bit better quality.
Same thoughts here too
I ordered a pair from HTC direct but I think looking at them now that I have them, they are the same as the originals so I will probably not bother using them
I also have the Brando version now - Not opened yet but I will open and apply it to my phone tomorrow evening - just need a dust-free environment to test it
Apparently, Brando boast they have the best protectors so lets see
It does feel a lot stronger than the original

Did you try this new Brando screen protector, and if so, is it any good?
Also, has anyone else had any experience of after-market screen protectors for this phone?
OK I applied mine today - sorry for the delay but I was just waiting for a time I could be patient !
I ordered it from HTCDirect as they are the only ones that had in stock
Recieved it promptly the next day so Kudos to them on that...also the guy I kept in touch with over email (Carlos if I remember correctly) was great and prompt in my queries.
My main query was - does it have the SAME fitment as the original bundled one.
As you know, the bundled one covers the entire screen including the slider for zoom and camera
The answer was Yes, it was exactly the same fitment.
So when I opened the pack, I was a bit annoyed as it was clearly NOT the same fitment! It's close however, but the top of the camera where on the HTC is all the way round with a small hole for the camera, the Brando one is in a U shape leaving the top bit of the camera open.
OK onto application
Just like all Brando protectors, it is protected by two covers on either end with clear instructions - pull one side BEFORE application and the other AFTER application
Once the dust was off the screen and the original protector...
I did just this - and after several attempts of lining it up - and I note, it is very EXACT in lining up. Slightly out and you will have more black on one side from the screen than the other.
Peeled it off, applied it and smoothed it out - the latter bit was hardly needed as the bubbles just vanished which was great.
At this state, the protector looked smoked a little and not as clear as the original one.
Once I was happy, I peeled the top part - noticed one bubble near the end where the label to peel was, smoothed it out and the protector was as clear as the original one.
First impressions:
It does feel MUCH more durable
It has a very slight and I mean SLIGHT smoked affect in that it is not 100% transparent as the original one but this shows how good it is potentially in strength.
Usage is fine, I can glide over it with my finger and stylus without any issues. The original was a finger print magnet but this seems to not stain with it which is great.
Now the downside....
I think HTCDirect sent me a slightly duff one. It has clearly got markings on the top (once the top layer was off) which look like impact marks.
It is very tiny - almost like what happens to a screen without a protector after 12months
I'm not too fussed but feel a bit cheated. Its no use removing it now as I would have no protector on it during the replacement stages - not to metion I would have to pay to ship back etc.
For now, I am ok with it but if it bugs me, I will throw it away and put the original one on (I ordered 2 extras from Clove who as usual, got it to me instantly, good communications and speed in delivery).
The clove one has no marks at all so thats an option.
Hope this answers some of your questions but to summarise your question
Is it stronger?
Yes it is
Is it worth it?
If you can get one mark free - yes it is
Benefits?
It's re-usable, stronger, washable, and I notice it does not let as much light reflect of it - something I had huge problems with in the sunlight with the original one where I could not see the screen - I am not exaggerating!
Downsides?
Where I got mine from, it has marks on it - something that might just force me to remove it and go back to the original one
Also the camera does not go in a O shape but rather a U shape
OK during the submit button, I realsed the marks and the U shape was bugging me too much
I knew it was a matter of time that gap in the U would get clogged up with dust that would eventually get stuck around the U bit
Removed it and applied the original one I bought from Clove... I have two so if it does wear down, I can replace it
I know from experiance that the original one in the box that I applied lasted fine up till now (a month now since I've had my TD2) so I dont doubt that it will be worn out - May not last as long as Brando's guarantee of it outlasting te device but that's fine given the price of the HTC ones.
Applied it without any dust getting trapped (the main reason I had to buy these and the brando one)
I found those marks were actually dust that was already stuck under the protective layer - whether this is HTCDirects fault or Brando during factory release - who knows but I think as a lesson, I'm staying away from both and sticking to the original stuff.
Hope you make the right decision either way - for now, a brando goes into the bin

damnit, didn't pay enough attention to dust & co...so after i saw that i catched a few dust pieces under it, i've tried to get them out manually - big mistake.
so trashed the original one and waiting for the new brando to put it on. being a former iphone-user, i must admit that the diamond2 screen is pretty sensible to scratches. i thought that i won't be needing any protection, but i already have a few small ones...so a screen protection is a must-have now.
Should have read this first
I should have read this thread before I tried to apply my screen protector. Straight away I had dust underneath the screen protector. Obviously I will now have to order some more protectors but will I be alright using my phone until they arrive? How delicate is the td2 screen?
You'll be fine using it while its there - just be annoying to see the dust specs!
I ordered a pair of the original ones in the end as I was not happy at all with the premium Brando one - the look, feel and visibility was terrible
Reason I ordered 2 of the original ones is I was hearing rumours before the unit was even released that the original HTC one was not durable and would need to be replaced after x amount of months - having had mine for 4-5 months now and with heavy usage, I can report back to say the first protector of the two is still on there - still very clean with no stylus/finger/nail marks and still as durable as it was when I put it first on.

From what other threads are saying the screen should be treated with care. Don't push it hard and avoid impacts. Don't stick the phone in your back pocket! Some people have experienced damaged screens even after a short time.
Shouldnt put any phone in your back pocket!
The number of phones I have to fix or write off because they have had severe pressure on them - ie: sitting on them has increased 5 fold recently.
And lets face it...the countries population are not getting any thinner/smaller!

I know it is not recommended. but I use a small drop of water on the screen before applying the screen, wiping the water as it is squeeze out. The water takes the dust with it.
Hi
I've applied mine that came with the Diamond 2 and after a few attempts you can't see it is there. Ironically I fits so well I almost want to put another screen protector on top of it so it doesn't become damaged and need replacing.
Anyway a tip. Working in a dust free environment is the key. A bathroom is a good place. I have a hepa air filter (for hayfever) and this removes dust really well so run that for a bit which helps.
With all the care in the world dust can get underneath, I had a few specs, and they tend to cause a small bubble as the screen screen protector can't fit flush. I found it very easy to remove them. Have some sticky tape handy, this can be used to lift up the screen protector from the corner. Lift it back up enough to get to the spec of dust, and using another piece of sticky tape dab the spec of dust off the sticky side of the protector, then lay it back down.
Regards

I know what you mean I made an okay job of the one that came with it. The rubber case I bought of eBay came with one as well and made a right pigs ear of that. I think they need to be applied in a clean room
I've since bought some more off eBay so next time, I'm going to be a lot more careful!
Cheers, Rob.
I got 3 screen protectors with the original phone (2 of them as a gift). The first one was perfect except for a piece of fluff near the middle of the screen. I tried to remove it with a cloth(!!!) and ruined it. So I went for the second one, but at this stage the screen was not clean so I tried to use a microfibre cloth, which made it worse because it leaves even more fluff. I tried to fix it a few times and so now I have fluff inside, plus a bubble (the protector is a bit scratched) plus it doesn't stick properly on most of the sides and around the holes.
I am tempted to use the last one, but if I ruin it once more I am out of them. My biggest problem is how to clean the screen before sticking the protector. Will all the fluff come away when I remove the old protector? How can I clean the screen, knowing that the microfibre leaves fluff? Shall I blow with a can of compressed air?
I find magic tape is great for removing dust spots. Use the backing sheet to gently lift a corner then push the tape underneath to clean screen or protector as needed.
My favourite screen protectors are from Martin Fields. Really tough and easy to apply. Also, they are washable so if you do get a real dust problem you just take it off an run under the tap. Don't try that with the phone though...
Dear all,
I have been using LEO for few months now and really happy about it. Since this is my first-Extra large screen phone (my previous phone is Diamond2), I very worry about how to handle this phone. I've read some user have drop their phone and braking the screen mirror which really look bad.
Also in my country's forum also have talke about this accident and I have learn that t replace the mirror screen will cost them about 130-140 US dollar (when converted from my Home currency) and extra 20-30 US dollar for edge's housing.
On the time I bourght my LEO, the shop that sale me also give me a Case-Mate for free. My first impression about this case is look very promissed for protect this device because it made from Hard-rubber. the only negative point for this case is installing!! since is made from hard-rubber, it's really hard to install and remove it.
At first, I really don't feel like to install it because I don't want to make scratch on my LEO. However, when I thought about broken front glass. it's better to install it. I have using Case-Mate from the fist day until now and all I can said it's seem to protect my device as promise (I have droped my LEO once, from the car's seat to the floor which it's not too high).
For all reader, you may feel that this case is too good to be true which is YES!.... In addition, I also have a bad point of this case too! As I mention before. This Case-Mate is made from Hard-rubber. When I remove and reinstall it often (yes! you need to remove this case in order to remove the back cover when need to reset or remove battary), this case can give scratch on the hard-edge of your device. As you can see it on my photos. Also once you intalled this case. it's give you a little density to the phone and t will not fit to the standard bag.
It's took me more then 2 weeks to find a bag that fit with my LEO+Case-mate. Finally! I've found that "Golla" bag (as seen in photo) is allow me to fit my device and also it have a nice design's bad too.
In Summarize, even the Case-mate can scratch your device, but in my opinion... it worth that can give me an extra bit of protection. even my LEO's body may have scratch but it can be easy replace at service center with litte cost. On my other devices that I previous used, I often change my phone body once in every 2 -3 years...
So I hope that my little review can give you a clear picture of my case and again! Sorry for my english if everything I wrote does make sence at all.
Awesome review. and awesome pictures. thank you.
do you think putting electrical tape could of prevented those scratches or will it eat right through the tape as well?
and what color was that casemate? because their black comes very close to their gray.. do you have the original box that says what it was? thanks again.

Thank you for your comment!
My Case-mate is black colour as it said on the box, So it same colour as LEO. Sorry that I don't have picture of the case-mate box since I throw it always.. Also about electrical tape, it's a good idea too but I don't think you can't fit the case-mate once you use the tape.. because it really almost 100% fit wit LEO.
Nice review mate. I got one of these as well - a few months ago - and it has saved the (fragile I reckon) corners of my phone a few times. As long as you are careful when you remove it it's a cool case.
Cheers
nice review. im actually using in iphone leather case , i had to make a we mod so that it would shut, but it does the job and it goes on my belt. i found it so
open-air tomorrow.. need a protection for my hd2, and now just saw this, and i like that golla bag, maybe i go get one today, looks perfect for concerts (it just needs to be protectet in my pocket, i dont record vids on concerts T.T xD)

thank for sharing your review, it's a very nice review you have.
I've done a fair bit of searching both here and elsewhere online, and I've yet to find anything relating to a successful repair method for small surface scratches on the front screen (which may perhaps be impossible).
I've been going without a screen protector/case for the last few weeks, and despite being über careful, I have a very small scratch in the middle of the front screen. Not a show-stopper by any means, but enough to give me pangs of annoyance every time the light catches it.
Has anyone found a way to fix/conceal this kind of thing, which from what I understand is pretty difficult with a glass touch-screen?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I wonder if you can use rubbing compound on it? Also would a screen protector cover it? Don't feel bad I have a pocket full of dust under my screen. I just wonder why they didn't make a headphone jack plug.
The first thing I am going to try is to go after work today, get a screen protector, and see if that helps reduce the visibility of the scratch (in addition to obviously preventing new ones).
On the one hand I feel silly for stressing over it, but on the other....well, what can I say?
If I continue to keep waking up in cold sweats, I might have to resort to more hardcore methods...
About the only thing you can do, that I know of, is cover it with a screen protector. That is what I had to do on my previous phone when the screen got scratched. Fortunately, once I put the screen protector on it you couldn't see the scratches any more.
You might be able to fix it by putting toothpaste in the scratch and wiping it clean

Use toothpaste or jeweler's rouge (for normal glass at least)
I had one minor scratch on mine and tried fixing it with toothpaste. Didn't work. It actually made the problem worse by creating a bunch of tiny microscopic scratches around it so now it looks smudged right around the scratch all the time unless I'm always wiping it clean with a microfiber cloth.
Luckily for me, I'm getting the Evo replaced with a new one when my local store gets their new shipment in. I have some light leakage and a spot on the screen that is lighter than the rest of the screen (looks almost like a burn spot) which is a great excuse for me to return it and start fresh (and this time with a protector).
I'm not listening to these "scratch tests" for phones anymore. After babying my phone for a month and STILL mysteriously ending up with a scratch out of the blue, I can't risk not having a screen protector anymore.
Hey was wondering how is the screen holding up. Do you guys having any scratches on them or anything? I'm debating on whether to take mine off
It's a very tough screen, mine is still in mint condition w/o a screen protector, but I never leave any sharp objects such as keys in the same pocket as my phone either.
No scratch at all, looks like new... (other than the rest of the device).
And I never used any "protective" thingies.

I've had my HD2 for 14 months and there are no scratches on it at all. When I first got it I saw the well known youtube vid of a guy trying to scratch his HD2 screen and failing. One night I was drunk and decided to show this to a mate, so I took a bottle cap and went to work with my screen, as hard as I could! We were both very impressed at the results (or lack of), but I noticed not long after that you could see where I had scratched it when I'd run my finger over it. If I wiped it clean then you couldn't see it at all. It was VERY feint, but it was there when smudged.
However, it's now 100% disappeared, even after major use.
I used to have a screen protector, but no longer bother. It's obviously always recommended not to put your phone in your pocket with keys & loose change etc., but this screen is THE BEST screen I've ever had on a phone.
I think it only needs a minimum of common sense and it will live for a looooooooooooong time!
Took mine off month ago, and very happy I did. It did nothing but lessen screen sensitivity and slightly dull viewing.
The glass on the screen can't withstand every stracth known to man, but it's pretty tough. Usually, the people with really messed up glass dropped theirs and the glass BROKE.
Here's the scratch test video and here's another thread about this where others share their thoughts and experiences.
I have just avoided putting in the same pocket as my keys, so far so good.
Wow that's pretty cool. I think I'm still going to keep one on though. To me its sort of like insurance. I may not need it often, but when I do, I sure will be glad I have it!

AHHH!!! They really need to move that damn thanks button, but thanks for that
To be honest, if it gives you peace of mind and doesn't have an adverse effect (sensitivity & brightness mainly) then yeah, keep it on.
I have my HD2 about 1,5 years now, and the screen didn't have a scratch at all. Unfortunately the back plate loses it clear finish, but that's acceptable.
Almost a year and no scratches whatsoever. I do keep it in a case whenever I am carrying it around, though. The only wear I can see at all are some indentations in the material on the top right corner of the handset.
Hi,
Got a cover, no scratch at all, like many people, i don't mix keys/smartphone screen, the best way to damage it !
almost a year and no scratch at all. I must say I guard it with my life.
it never leaves my sight and is always in it's original leather pocket.
I had a HTC Touch Cruise before and it was a plastic restitve touchscreen.
Even that thing was okay and usable after 3 years... It had many deep scratches but with backlight on you only saw them a bit and it wasnt a problem for the usability
The screen of the hd2 really needs some effort to get scratched. In my opinion a screen protector is useless, because the power that is needet to scratch this screen would easily cut the protector
But i also use the barely there case, to avoid scratches on the housing (put some tape on the corners to avoid damage from case on/off). The screen protector that was with this case gives me a better feeling on the touchscreen, its easier to glide ^^ and i dont have so many fingerprints
^^^
Fingerprints can be easily removed, you know
Mine is over 9 months old, still as good as new .
My secret is "The Magical Original Leather Pouch"
It never gets out of it, unless I want to use it
Is the camera lens cover made from the same material? Does it resist scratches as well as the screen?
I also don't use a screen protector. My phone is kept in a leather belt pouch, but is handled delicately (partially because it is expensive and partially because it is such a beautiful phone).
Got my TMOUS HD2 when they first came out, and screen is still perfect. I do keep it in a pocket by itself though, so no contact with keys or change.
Ive had mine around 14 months now, never used a protector and there's no problems at all with my screen. This is even after I stopped using the leather pouch a few months ago after getting an extended battery and even after dropping the phone a few times!
Almost one year without screen-protector and without case.
Not only one scratch on the screen.
I have two scratches on the screen, but you have to make effort to see them.
I took it to a sandy beach to read books every day all summer long, no protection whatsoever.
It's a great phone.
Hello mates!
I just got a brand new SGS5 and I noticed strange marks on the display. The display is absolutelly unmarked, no scratches or anything like that. When I polish the display, no marks are able to see, but when I use my fingers and the fingerprints are on them, they go visible. I tried to use some alcohol or things like that to get rid of them, but nothing helped.
Here some photos of it (attached) - firstly the polished display, then the strange marks after usage.
Anyone has any experience about similar problem? Any ideas how to get rid of them? Warranty please as a last option, I'm leaving to holiday in next weeks and I would like to take my S5 with me.
Thank you for any response, the solver gets a candy!

Well, even though I am not in it for the candy , I am still trying to help you out here. It seems that it is some adhesive residue of some sorts, I would advise you use rubbing alcohol (though be careful with it and use it only within the confines of the screen!) on those spots.

Really weird problem, though it also has an interesting possible use, if we know what caused this, it could be implemented to prevent fingerprints from happening at all as those spots seem to be fingerprint resistant.

Haha, so I'm going to keep this phone and sell it for research. :victory: But for now I woul'd be ok with phone without this special layer...
Have the same spots, but at the top of the screen near the speaker. But it looks for like the spots are the places without resistance layer. How do you think can warranty help in this case ?
Solved
Hello!
Yes - whole problem solved by warranty. No problem with it. They replaced the whole display and there are no problems anymore. :victory:
Unfortunatelly I didn't find anything that could help without replacing the display. But - as I said - there was absolutly no problem about warranty and changing it.
Hope this thread helps

Finally!
Finally someone with the same problem! I've searched for ages for somebody with the same problems that i have with my sgs5 screen. I've actually gotten my phone replaced 2 times for the same reason but after between one and four days the same kind of blotches or scratches return, as described above. The last time I handed in my phone Samsung (pretty reasonable though annoying) decided that it had to be caused by my own usage, hence no help from them.
The problem is that I have been extra bloody careful with the phone since I've had the same problems several times, but now Samsung won't help me because it's such an unusual problem, and I have no idea of whats causing it. Does anybody have a clue on whats causing these things to appear on the screen? Would it be possible to reapply a new layer of oloeophobic coating?
Huh, that's wild. That seems like something that would happen if someone were to repair the front-glass improperly. Lack of Loca glue between the glass and display.

You think? I got a brand new phone the first two times (!) since it was during the 5 days DOA time. So in that case it's from production not repair. The screen has later been replaced but the problem appears AGAIN... Samsung won't even answer me anymore since they claim it's my own doing. Really annoying...
same thing
Hi guys. I have the same thing. Brand new phone. Was using for 4 days. When I clean the spot there are no sratches but once i touch with fingers i see strange pattern. Tried cleaning with non alchohol screen cleaner but no luck. Was extremely careful not keeping with metals in my pocket. I think it would be nightmare to send it to warranty to prove that smth is wrong.. Starting to hate Samsung. Waiting for glass screen protector so i think once i put it the problem dissapear. Still wery annoyed..

You might ask for a replacement which i think they'll give you and then directly put a screen protector on. Annoying I know but as I've said before it's gonna happen again with ur newly replaced screen (or else i'm very bloody unlucky...). I wonder if it would be possible to just remove all the oleophobic coating of the screen in some way. I'm pretty sure that's the cause of the problem.
I am having the same issue with my phone. I don't want to replace the screen, because I don't like doing that.
Did anyone managed to get them away?
Same thing here. I am not even sure if the issue is caused by the oleophobic coating on the top.
Looks like a mass problem and replacing the screen or the phone will not help.
Anybody tried screen protector to fix the issue?
