To be honest, with this phone it will be useful to get a battery especially if you are planning a long journey or trip.

I am currently using puch from G1 -- it's a bit loose, but better than nothing.
Hoping I can find N1 pouch some time soon(ish).

Possible stupid question
Does using a screen protector degrade the touch screen performance?
I used to have a T-Mobile Vario II and never used a protector and got away with it. The phone went in my pocket and did clash with keys and things occasionally, no detectable damage though.
Do screen protector users let their children out to play? Or are they correct to take care?

Not at all i notice no difference using a screen protector.

i like the look of this one

I have just ordered this one -- for that price + free delivery it can't go wrong
However, I hope I can get my hands on Nexus One pouch some day.

Great, I can't order the official ones from play.com because they only deliver this product in the UK. Really, I mean, reallyyyyyy?

Just bought it for £9.95 just need my desire now

Screen protector from Amazon UK (not tried it myself):
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vikuiti-DQC-160-screen-protector-Desire/dp/B003CAQAAY/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1269823681&sr=8-1-fkmr0

I've ordered the Vikuiti ones and they are not good. From what I can see the cut-out is just a simple rectangle, it will not cover the full glass area of the phone but probably only the part that is actually displaying something. I find that utterly useless.
Now I've ordered the ones from BoxWave where they show how they did the cut-out on their website. That's the way it should be done...

There are a few on eBay claiming to be for the Desire but you can clearly see they dont match all the openings, eg, the flash.

Got this one - didn't really like it. Found it too stiff/hard.
If anyone wants to give it a go, I'll mail it for free within EU.
Whoever PMs me first with their address, gets it
EDIT: case was given-away to er_yeah.

i have just got a mofi case for £4.95 it seems fairly universal size but it is lined with micro fiber so it cleans your phone when you put it in.

Surely, you can get the nexus one silicon case (the ones that dont have the bottom covered where the desire buttons would be). They are practically the same size, give or take fractions of a mm here or there.

Anyone found a good silicone cover/skin yet?

[Q] Looking for Screen Protector Suggestions

I Have noticed form coming from a iPhone 3GS I noticed even at full brightness I can barley see the screen in the light and i never have it on full brightness to save battery So what im asking is are there any screen Protectors out there that anyone could suggest that would help me to see the screen better on sunny days

Well I've had multiple screen protectors, and none of them have even come close to being as good as the one i got from Vikuiti. I was told that Martin Fields (too grippy) made a high quality screen protector, but I was not impressed and found this one for my HD2 after rave reviews on the HD2 forum.
This screen protector is so good I have taken my old HD2 one and cut it down for the Desire Z until I get my specific Desire Z one. I have re-stuck it a few times, and it looks good as new, I hate it when you can tell the screen protector is on, but you cant with this.
The below link it not to the exact model I had on my HD2 (there is one called ADQC and one called DQC, I have the DQC at present, but might get the ADQC listed below because it suggests its more anti-glare)
http://www.protectionfilms24.com/article/vikuiti-screen-protector-adqc27-htc-desire-z-43109.html

I currently use an anti-glare screen protector that came free with my dcmugen case.
It is better than the glossy screen protector I had before. Plus, it doesn't attract fingerprints which sometimes obscures vision.

how long did it take for you to get your screen protector

I will also vouch for the Vikuiti ADQC model. My order was shipped on June third and I received it today- June ninth.
As for the screen protector itself, I am extremely satisfied with it. This protector allows me to view the G2's screen as it is supposed to be seen: as though there is nothing on the screen at all. Side to side is nearly a perfect fit and top to bottom there is maybe a mm of space uncovered below the soft buttons (home, menu ...) At a glance, the only giveaway that there is a screen protector on the phone is the cutout for the light and proximity sensors.
They aren't cheap but I believe they are worth the cost.

What is your opinion of the protector after using it so far?

I just noticed your post. Sorry it's taken me months to reply, although it has given me a MUCH larger sample size to form my opinion from. The screen protector is still great! It is really tough. Admittedly, I baby my phone a bit. That said, I finally got a scratch on the first screen protector (I ordered 3) about 2 Weeks ago. Other than that it is almost exactly as it was the first day I applied it. I've been meaning to apply the second one but don't need to. I would say it is definitely worth the extra cost as in the time I've had this one on I had gone through at least five other brands including the t mobile one & some I got from Amazon.

Cases with front-coverage

I'm looking for a decent full body case that also extends around to the front of the phone and covers around the screen like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/WHITE-BLACK...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item5af1d2978c
Just not a huge fan of white, and reason I'd like to be able to cover over the camera and bottom of the phone is so that it will overlap the screen protector's edge that I have on it (basically the case would be covering where the screen protector ends).
Any suggestions?
PS: I kind of like the look of this one: http://www.amazon.com/Google-Ringke-Selling-Premium-Package/dp/B00B7QGT6U/ref=pd_bxgy_cps_img_z
But the front doesn't extend over.
And then there's this where it doesn't cover the front of the screen, but bevels out abit from the front of the screen from the picture. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Nexus-4-...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item4171fea870

Um, the first case you mentioned does come in black.

I actually like the Armor holster combo. I'd so get that if I didn't spend money on a custom dbrand skin lol.

It doesn't cover the screen per say but you can lay your phone face down without risking scratches.

I'm using a cut (meaning kiosk didn't have one in stock so they cut from another that stops just under the camera and lil past bottom of visible screen) invisible shield, thus why the case coverage in the front like the white one I linked would be perfect cuz it would cover the exposed portion of the front screen.

And spend another 20-30$ ? (it'd have to be an invisible shield, the rest are crap by comparison, have tried others and have had them refunded).

Oh, I mean this is the one I got, maybe not us good but same military stretchy stuff as invisible shield. But man does it cling to surfaces.. I have my bumper on it to though so it doesn't really cling. Probably not what you're gonna wanna go for, but I don't know why you bought half of a screen protector from a kiosk at that price. I've never tried invisible shield so I wouldn't know how good they are.

Oh it's not half a screen it's bout 90% front coverage (starts just shy under the camera, and ends just shy of the notification LED, with basically about half an inch of overlap over the actual visible screen), the white one I originally linked would cover the overlap just fine.
Also the one I got was the HD, it's not that rubbery texture like the older military grade one but rather actual glass-like surface that seems to increase the contrast and black point ever so slightly. It's pretty much invisible at the edge now that it's had about a week to dry out and grip to a lip completely. Also I paid that much because the folks at the kiosk would apply them for you since it's a wet process, and they do an excellent job (or they re-do it, plus if the screen gets F**ked up down the road, they replace it for me).

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=390604167052 just saw this on eBay and I'm going to order one since its only $5 . has anyone bought one before ? Doesn't look too cheap... And I have a screen protector on so it should essentially be an otter box .

Screen Protectors

What screen protectors are people using? I had a Savvies screen protector, cost around £5, which started lifting from the top within a week. I kept sticking it back down but it then looked horrible. So I traded up and replaced it with a Skinomi - I have one of these on my phone and love it. Put it on on Saturday, left it until Sunday night before using it. Perfect. Then this morning when I wake up...
Aaaargh!
Anyone had success with screen protectors staying on for a decent length of time? If so, what's good?

No-one has a screen protector they would recommend, that has stayed on for an extended period?

Good thickness and adhesiveness.

i purchased the illumishield off of newegg since it comes with lifetime replacements.
it comes 3 to a pack and i used the same one for about 6 weeks. only reason i had to switch it out was because i learned that big dogs nails can scratch the film when playing aggressively with them. lol
it never lifted on me while i had it so that was good. one thing i did notice was if you apply it the way they want you to, it wont fit top to bottom. rotate it 90 degrees and it fits good but leaves a small gap on top and bottom. not really that noticeable unless youre OCD like that.
heres the link:

Thanks, I'll try them if the latest effort fails.
Skinomi told me to wash the old protector and try again, but stayed grubby even after washing, so that's not going to work...

Thanks! I've just bought it! I don't have my smartwatch yet but I expect it for Christmas as a gift, so I'll be ready with my screen protector!

By the way, you can go to almost any typography and they'll cut you some protectors after scanning your smartwatch and tracing the edges for almost no price. The quality of film will probably be worse, but cmon, you will save like 95%.

I bought this off ebay australia: "Crystal Clear Screen Protector for Sony SW2 Android Bluetooth SmartWatch 2" (I can't post external links yet sorry)
Just as well too as I was in the shed the other day and "scratched" it. Now I can just peel it off and put another on!

I buy the Zagg shields for the 10” tablets, you can always find one on sale for about $9.00. Cut a piece 1.5" x 1.5" and round the corners. Now you have enough left over for a phone or a small tablet.

Tempered glass problem fixed. Found a work around :)

Hello Everyone..
Just like you all I too was sad that P2 had bubbles in the corners.
I finally found got a workaround so wanted to share my experience.
The solution for me was to buy a tempered glass with "6H" hardness instead of the regular "9H" ones.
These are slightly flexible and hence do not form bubbles in the crners where the screen is bent.
I bought "JMM Flexible Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Lenovo P2" from Amazon India.
I dont know if we're allowed to post links here. If yes let me know and I'll post the link.
Thanks...Hope this helps. Enjoy the P2

Yes please...
But then 6H is really not tempered glass is it? It's more of a plastic AFAIK

https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B071LG88CW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
There are other Flexible Tempered glasses too on Amazon.
Its not as flexible as they show in images...Almost like glass (dont know exactly what material)
Once on the phone it looks just like tempered glass...plus all the tempered glass features like olephobic coating etc etc...

Thanks! I've placed an order. Will review it once it arrives

A workaround that is claimed to work is to put the tempered glass screen protector (even one which is 9H) on top of one of the PET sort (maybe because PET is both flexible and cheap?). https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums...sage-id/3761/print-single-message/true/page/1

Honestly I would not suggest 2 screen guards one over the other.
Specially when one layer is the regular screen guard which is not so clear...Having 2 will surely affect display quality and may impact touch response.
However if you do try it let us know the results.
Thanks

Update1: tried it on sticks on perfectly fine at the bend areas, thanks to @sammys3
However, the sides come of if not stuck properly. It's easy to apply though. Small mis alignment may place the protector to the curved edges and won't stick.
Will keep this on for sometime and see. Will update after a week of usage.
Overall pretty happy with it. I'd recommend it

This one I guess: https://www.amazon.co.uk/OMOTON-Len...d=1509293091&sr=8-1&keywords=omoton+lenovo+p2
But since you're in india, I don't see any way for you to get your hands on one, amazon.in don't sell these.
Be careful however, it may work for some, but for me it didn't. See here: https://www.amazon.de/product-revie...UTF8&filterByStar=three_star&showViewpoints=0
The bending of the screen caused these white air-bubbles to occur at the sides. While not being as terrible as the bog-standard tempered glass screen protectors, it was still too bad for me, so I'll just stick to plastic protectors.
Oh, and the work around posted here: Didn't work for me either. The tempered glass protector just pulled the plastic one up, so I still had air-bubbles. Well, it was worth a try ^^

Get the clear filler....

Guys why are you buying these fake packed costly Rs.300-400 screen guard from flipkart or amazon.in , I've been to Gaffar Market, Delhi where they're selling from just Rs. 10 - Rs 25 but you've to buy 5-10 piece, they don't give 1-2 piece only.
ask them for Samsung J7 pro screen guards it'll perfectly fit on P2
.
You can even get your broken screen repaired for 2000-3000 Rs.

Strange thing, not everyone lives in Delhi and the cost of travel may outweigh the price in the market

is not lenovo p2 already using gorilla glass? I think it seems better like that without protector. because it looks more natural right?

I just got my screen glass few cracks in it, I just want the screen glass only [gorilla glass only] is it is available there? What will be the price range?
Or I should buy the complete set for replacement? Super amoled display for 2-3k? I don't want cheap lcd display replaced. Your answers will be helpful...

kirtikhurana said:
Led screen could be used from any Samsung phone like J7 pro or similar size which can be used in the existing touch panel of P2 but if you also broke touch digitizer then you have to replace whole folder(including the front panel) which has to be of only P2 if front panel is available in market or P1(maybe) can be fit.
If you led screen panel is intact than no need to replace while folder but repair shops install whole folder because extracting led screen from touch panel may broke it also.
There even iPhones folder won't cost more than 3500 but main issue is the availability of front panel of P2.
if you want repair shop phone number. I'll give you.
