Wonder how these are going to work with the bevelled screen on this one?

Not easily scratched.
The screen protector takes away from the beautiful viewing of the screen and (I don't care what anyone says) lessens the touch screen responsiveness.
I had a screen protector on my HD2 for a while, and have not been happier since removing it. And I've had Invisibleshield, BodyGuardz and BSG. They all lessen the experience. Since removing the screen protector on my HD2, I have not had a single scratch. And that's after 3 months or less with the screen protector on and 9 months or more with it off.
And what the HD2 has is not as good as what the Sensation will have in Gorilla Glass.

Don't use lame screen protectors man...
I used them on my HD2 like Darnell_Chat_TN for like 3months. Now almost 8 months later I still have 0 scratches on my naked HD2. You just need to look out if you put it in your pocket with keys etc.

I've got a Thunderbolt which is said to have gorilla glass, but some users are still reporting the glass to be getting scratched. There are some very clear screen protectors which you wont even notice on. I recommend you place a screen protector on. Realook is what I've got on mine.

Well I never knew it, but the HTC HD2 does have Gorilla Glass. No wonder the screen is so strong.
No screen protector for me and loving it . Now I know I won't use one on the Sensation after seeing the difference with my HD2!

I think the screen protector on my G2x is one reason I didn't see the brilliance of the IPS/LED screen as much as it was hyped. Had one on my Nexus One before I had the screen replaced for the first time (dust, still a problem).
My wife's Nexus One has endured a LOT of purse-abuse and doesn't really show it. It's amazing how people can scratch these modern screens in daily use.

look in this thread at the screen protectors link. i couldnt link directly as i dont have enough posts.

I am one of the people who likes to be extra careful. Besides, I've seen various types of damage inflicted on the supposedly scratchproof Gorilla Glass, and I just don't buy into the claims made by the company. More durable than conventional glass? Sure it is. Indestructible? Definitely not.
I'll definitely be slapping a screen protector on my Sensation.

+1 for a protector. I am over protective of my devices and it shows. I take the case and screen screen protector off and it's practically brand new.
I take such good care of my stuff that I have a regular clientele of friends and family who buy my old phones off me, because they tell me it's like buying the phone new.
Shouldn't be calling people lame for wanting to protect their stuff. Not everyone on these forums upgrades their phone every 6 months.

Has anyone got a screen protector on their Sensation? I'm just wondering if the bevelled screen effects it.

I use the Boxwave ClearTouch Crystal screen protector on my HD2. I tried about 4 other brands and the Boxwave works best for me. Screen is almost as vibrant with the screen protector as it is without one and the touch sensitivity is fine. It also seemed to be easier to install than the other protectors I tried.

I had my nexus one for a year without a screen protector as well and no scratches what so ever. I used my wifes phone that has a screen protector and I don't like it at all. So no screen protectors for me for this one.
I can't wait for this phone to be released!

Gorilla Glass is not 100% scratchproof ( Proven on my HD2)
well It is really hard to brake.
You can consider buying a nice sleeve for your phone .
It is in my opinion a better solution
What I mean : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql37A-SgA3A
There is really no need for a screen protector. Care for your phone. It after all a remarkable peace of technology. Not just a toy.
Although I f you want a toy just get a Samsung.
100% Genuine plastic toy feeling.

bought a gel case with screen protector. the screen protector didnt fit. shame as the case is perfect. managed to drop phone on floor by accident outside. not a mark on the screen. will still get screen protector though.

That list says my G2 has Gorilla Glass too. It was a strong screen but it did get a small scratch. So I bought a [URL="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004763E9M]Realook Premium Screen Protector[/URL] it is truly crystal clear and responsive.

Same here, screen film also doesn't fit.

I bought the HTC screen film however the sides around the screen as its kinda lipped up would not apply correctly (bubbled up). Remove this after a few days and found a desire protector, applied it successfully, however obviously its a bit short. bought a case from ebay and it came with a protector, which covers the screen but does not go all the way to the edge, stuck on well and no apparent "bubbles". its ok quality. case is ok silicon case

The other thing I like about the screen protector I have on my HD2 (Hence my preference for screen protectors, is that the matte finish cut down the reflections on the reflective screen. That and I'm a klutz!

Gorilla glass + screen protector?

Quick question. This is my first gorilla glass device. I'm a device freak and need my g2x to stay in perfect condition. I haven't taken the screen protector off since I got it (23.)
I want to know if the screen protector is necessary and if so does it produce extra glare? (Its great right now in direct sunlight... but still...)
Also... does it prevent fingerprints without one? If not can I use rainx on it? (It works on my gtablet)

So my last phone had Gorilla Glass. I kept it in my pocket with keys and such, and dropped it pretty much monthly. After 18 months, the glass was pristine even as the rest of the phone was beat to hell. So I posted somewhere on this forum, in response to a question much like yours, that there's probably no need for a screen protector if you have Gorilla Glass. Except that I already have a scratch on my screen, and am going to be getting screen protectors for my G2x.
Shorter: Gorilla Glass is great, but not impervious.

After some more googleing its not gorilla glass (but it's something else like it dragon?) But does the g2x get fingerprints?

It has Gorilla Glass. Even the box says so.

I don't use a screen protector myself...but fair warning, if you can turn your pockets inside out and find tiny grains of sand in 'em you might want to get a screen protector. Sand can and will scratch glass. I live in Kansas so it's kind of a non-issue for me.

a screen protector is always a good first line of defense. It's also cheap. A lot better than spending a lot of money replacing a scratched screen (if you're nit-picky about it)

When I bought my phone from t-mobile the rep took a pair of scissors and scraped at the demo model nothing happened when he did that i bought the phone. I do use a screen protector just to keep the oils from my hand off of the screen but the picture quality is way better with out the screen protector.

Is it just me but mine has a screen protector on it out of the box. Look close around the camera & speaker holes.

There are a lot of videos on youtube with people trying to scratch the optimus 2x & G2x. That being said, it's an inherent property of glass that allows it not to be scratched by metals. Explanation here.
I will say though, if you phone falls out of your pocket while riding a bike and skids on the pavement face down, the glass will get scratched like hell. I don't know if a screen protector would have helped, but I now have one on my new phone just in case.

For me, it's to get rid of the reflections off that shiny glass screen and reduce the icky fingerprints and smudges. I keep my phone in a belt case, so I'm not worried about scratches, but an anti-glare screen protector sure makes it easier to see what's on the screen.

You can't really see anything on the screen with direct sunlight and anti-glare helps a lot!

Screen protector, should I use it or not?

Screen protector, should I use it or not? will it make 3d effects worse?

Definetly yes,you should use a screen protector,i have always used one on every phone i have had from day one,the o3d is no exception.
It does not effect the 3d quality.

A screen protector is not necessary in my opinion.
Never used one on my milestone (droid) and dont got any scratches - even when i carry keys in the same pocket...
Gorilla Glas ftw!

How do you know it is gorilla glass? I didn't see it listed anywhere...

i was wondering too about gorilla glass, nobody actually can confirm that it's gorilla :/

I tried scratching the glass of the O3D with a bulletin board pin and a needle, it wont scratch.. Metal vs glass and not scratching = gorilla glass in my book.

I had many gorilla glasses and never used i screen protector. BUT i had always scratches on the displays. And they was not only small... So in future and actualy on my P920 i use a protector becaus I think its better
3D works fine - with protector

attached terrapin screen protector, not sure if its better or worse then usual, but will see how will it serve, I dont think actually there is difference between these protectors anyway, it's just 'brand' what is under them.

Agreed,
I use a screen protector for mine as well. I have seen gorilla glass scratch on O2X so I am not willing to risk my O3D. And it is barely recognizable, so why not use one.

yeah, scraching such phone, uhh...

Been rocking my O3D with out screen protector for a week. i have very light skrach about 2mm long screen protector is bk on and will stay on. Protect ur screen guys.

For the minor expense of a screen protector, you can always try one if in doubt.
Personally have had 3 different smartphones and have not used screen protectors as I feel they aren't a requirement so long as you are careful. A decent case should be a priority imo.

Always wear protection!

"Protect yourself (phone!) at all times"
I also bought silicon case for it, in case if I drop it or something T_T

I'm using the screen protection since the first week that i had the phone and it doesn't affect the 3D effect at all.
Also i have a gel skin case in case i drop the phone...

Got my O3D today and right away i put on a screen protector. It doesnt affect the 3D.

Screen protector

I was just wondering if Gorilla glass can withstand pocket condition where there is a standard bus card, a student ID and some dollar notes.

not really... items you carry in your pocket are not a problem, but dust is. Dust can scratch anything, even gorilla glas... I recommed using some screen protector, even the cheapest ones on ebay can do the trick

i dont need sc protector.
My phone is sgs.
i have a gorilla glass.

Yes, so long as the cards are not on the glass side. I have SGS1 since August 2010, it's used daily and always carried in pocket, never used a screen protector, it still looks like new.

I am searching also for a screen protector. If you guys think that the gorilla glass works, I`ll give it a try also.

I have galaxy i5700 without gorilla glass ofc and I carried it in my pocket without other items = perfect glass surface after 1.5 years.
I bought used sgs from my friend and it have some small scratches I guess some of them are from outside pocket condition and others from change caring or something.
I think your screen should be safe if you avoid things to touch it like stated above and screen protector could lessen touch screen sensitivity.

GS more than a year old, sinds i bought it, its in mij pocket, take it out and put it in 100 times a day, not a sigle scratch on the screen !
Bur only the phone, nothing else in te pocket ;-)

Screen protectors don't lower the sensitivity. I have my S+ for half a year and if I look from certain angle i can see 2 scratches. But I don't really know why because I take care of it. I think screen protectors are somehow necessary

gorilla glass is enought, you dont need to use any extra protection

I agree , its a myth that screen protectors lower the sensitivity of touchscreen .
I am sure gorilla glass can withstand scratches , but i use a screen protector anyway.
The only place the sgs gets scratched is around the metallic rim , neither the glass or plastic backcover gets scratched.
The only gripe are those ugly fingerprint smudges.

I'm using this screen protector: Vikuiti DQC160
It works fine and the phone is as responsive as before...
Even better is, that it's easy to clean. Just like the original Gorilla Glass. Wiping over the display, and every fingerprint vanishes

mine gorila glaz got few huge scratches from sand in my poscket at summer and hell of small ones. You should buy some cheap one screen protector from DX or focalprice if you want to have a clear screen if it is not to late already

gorilla glas is not enough...! don't believe that.
i had a screen protector since first day on my galaxy s. one day i wanted to try it without as everybody told that nothing will happen.
result: after ONE DAY without screen protector i had a deep scratch which i can see easily. i took back the screen protector on the phone. and i even didn't notice how the scratch could be produced, and i still don't know. i assume i scratched it on the metal clip of my belt by taking it out of my pocket. there was nothing in my pocket that could have scratched the screen.
so it is more resistant than normal glass, but if u are unfortune u could easily catch a scratch. or you have luck and nothing happens. but the risk is definitely there...

Screen protector is a must for me. My phone is almost an year old but still not even a single scratch on screen.

If you do not wear keys or other sharp objects in the same same pocket with phone, the screen will not get scratched. I have my phone almost one year and still no single scratch

You guys are paranoid. I seriously use the phone for six months and the display do not have any scratches. Buy a normal bag or holster, and enough stupidity to suffer.

dont play with your expensive phone just buy a good 3-layer anti scratch screen guard and it will work for you perfectly...
screens are expensive and the guard saved me a lot of times.

Use screen protectors or not?

Should i use screen protrctor on sensation.Is it really necessary,i know that sensation has a gorilla glass.

If you have any plans on possibly selling the phone down the line? I'd slap a screen protector on it. You can get 10 for a dollar from China. If you plan on running the phone into the ground and don't care about selling it for any decent amount of cash down the line, don't worry about it.
Also, gorilla glass may be tough, but a single grain of sand rubbed the wrong way can scratch it.

Personal I would choose it, even if it is a scratch-free glass

The screen protectors do not stick verygood on the curved glass. You keep on getting dust under the protector in the corners.

Nope, screen protectors are useless for a phone with Gorilla Glass.
Spend your money elsewhere.

I used to have screen protector for over a year, few days ago i removed it and man... my screen never looked better it's like getting a new phone :laugh:

I work in an relatively dusty environment. no screen protector. 15 months down the line.. screen is pristine. once a month clean it with a microfiber cloth or a soft cotton
cloth removes all smudges. I've even kept keys and phone in the same pocket while riding a bicycle. No scratch on screen. Luckily had a case which protected the body.

I use to screen protector, but I removed it.

Its all on the user of the phone. You can get them dirt cheap on the Internet. So why not keep your screen looking brand new.

Our sensation has a good screen, it sustains a lot of crap without a scratch, in depends on the conditions but for normal use, it would be reducing the quality of the visibility .
