I went into the Carphone Warehouse in Leeds at lunchtime, and they'd never heard of them.
The guy said the Sensation wasn't available yet, and his eyes nearly popped out when I told him I'd got one three weeks ago and then showed it to him!
Interestingly, they were selling a 3rd party clear plastic case, but I tried it and it nearly doubled the thickness of the phone! Made my excuses and left.
Well I work for them and every store in my region had 2 per store delivered.
Perhaps you just dealt with the store numpty

Hey Zesty,
Do you have trouble with the edges of the ZAGG not staying stuck due to the beveled edges? This is an issue that a lot of folks seem to be having with other screen protectors. Also, was it difficult cleaning all the excess spray due to the raised edges of the phone case?
Yeah the edges on the phone causes issues. I bought the ones offered at tmobile and they are smaller than the screen. My guess its for that reason.

Doesn't this phone have Gorilla Glass? Why need a shield? My HD2 has no scratches and I've never used a shield and it's always in my pocket with my keys.
Please tell me the Sensation is as durable. I just bought two of them.

The problem with G glass is that its not scratch proof, only resistant. Also, if you go to the website of the company that makes G glass, sensation is not a listed product. So, the jury is still out on whether it really has it or not.

Just a fun little poll. Nothing else really going on anyway since this hasn't been released on tmo yet . Do you keep your screen protector that comes with the phone on? take it off and have it naked? or go out and buy a good screen protector?
At the moment mine its makes. No one has a good protector yet. But tomorrow tmobile should have some

Same here, desire hd screen is still in good nick. Also i use my leather pouch that came with my HD2 two years ago , sold the phone but kept the pouch, i knew it would come in handy one day and the sensation fits in it so nicely.
This phone is so beautiful, it'd be a shame to cover it in screen protectors or cases
i still have the stock protector on..lol. waiting for tmo to have theres
bought the HTC one from tmobile and it is fantastic,can't even tell it's on
I have the HTC protector from T-Mobile. Pain in the butt to put on and work out the bubbles. Looks ok, but scratches easily. Oh well, better it than the screen.

Is a screen protector even necessary?
I was at the T-Mobile store last week, looking at a G2X. I've been shopping there for years, and the manager knows I root and everything, and that I want the best phones when they're out. He also knows I'm hard on my phones, so he demonstrates the G2X's gorilla glass by bashing his keys into it. Nothing happens. He smashes the keys into the screen of the phone, beats the hell out of it, digs them in, everything, and nothing, not a scratch. Then, he latter goes "ooh, ooh, let me show you this cool phone we have in back" and he pulls a Sensation out of the back. I instantly fall in love. Thing is, I really am hard on the phones, and the gorilla glass would be a great benefit for me, as I've broken a few screen before now. I asked him if it had gorilla glass as well, he said he didn't know.
So, I went home, and looked online, and everywhere I go it says it does have gorilla glass.
My question is, after that long rambling rant, if these phones really do have gorilla glass, why bother with a screen protector?

I guess it's the extra care you want to put into the phone. I personally don't want to put a screen protector on but I have been placing them on my phones for the past 4 years. I don't want to take any chances lol
gorilla glass/sensational screen
while i think the GG definitely provides added protection, i would never advise being reckless like that. the one thing i did want to say which i havent seen anyone post yet was how clean the screen stays. i have had the phone since 6/12 and havent used a micro cloth once. while using outside i definitely noticed some streaks due to warmer temps and sweatier fingers, but they literally have disappeared. has anyone else noticed this? incredible self cleansing screen or dumb luck? ill take it as an added bonus. the phones getting better every day.
But if it has gorilla glass, you really aren't taking any chances. Have you seen this stuff?
I just bough some screen protectors and a case for my phone from T-Mobile .

Recently, I accidentally scratched my screen. Does anyone know of a way to either remove the scratch or fill it?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
learn your lesson and put a screen protector on it. theres no way to remove the scratch but a screen protector could help make it less visible.
OMG!!!
Sensation's screen supposed to Gorilla Glass. Please have a look onto below link's list.
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/htc
Could u also pls let us know exactly how this happended ?
OMGWTFBBQ!!
GG isn't scratch proof, it's scratch resistant. I bet this same scratch on a non GG device would have been awful or maybe even cracked the screen.
OP - the only thing I know of to do is get a good screen protector. A lot of times the screen protector will make the scratch really hard to see.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
ofcourse there are ways to fill the scratches...heard very good stories about displex http://www.displex.com/
displex is fake... I bought it one time for my phone and it did NOTHING.
Thanks. I will thank your posts when I get back to my computer, because the xda app doesnt have a thanks button.
I will get a screen protector. Also, I was able to make the acratch smaller by putting toothpaste on it.

Displex worked fine for me many years ago on an old SE. Not sure with the new touch screens. And presumably gorilla glass, if indeed harder to scratch, will be hard to polish out any scratches.
If anyone has the misfortune to trash their Sensation may be they will do a little test on the screen with toothpaste and Displex?

you could always try the little kit that you can buy that repairs chips in a cars windscreen.. its basically a resin that fills in the chip in a windscreen to virtually nothing and for a scratch it may fill the hole and leave just a small remnant of the scratch... this is basically because you obviously see through a windscreen and it works well for that application...
failing that as others have said you will have to suck it up or find a replacement screen on ebay and put a screen protector on it.. i seen a replacement screen for $50 on ebay and if the scratch is that bad maybe thats another option
Hey everyone. I got my invisible shield yesterday. Full body coverage. Carphone Warehouse £17.99. Installed it yesterday. Pleased with results.
As you can see in the pictures, there are still water bubbles on the front screen protector, but they are still drying up.
Now I am rest assured my desire s will remain scratch-free!
Sorry for the poor quality, shot on a 3mp tg01 camera.
Any questions, request more pictures, and I will be glad to answer!

Hi! I always try and avoid cheap screen protectors because they get scratched easily and they make the screen much more reflective. If you want a quality protector I recommend the case mate or official HTC protector. For a case, there are loads avalable like Amazon etc!

I have tried an ebay anti glare screen protector branded "Screen Guard professional". These are the easiest I have tried to apply without bubbles but do give the screen a rather unattractive grainy effect where white areas are viewed. I have gone back and ordered some clear ones from the same range.
Are the water bubbles already completely gone?
Nice, but I don't see a need for a full body. For me a screen protector is enough.

Only thing though,when I went in holiday to Florida, the shield started to peel away abit. I'm guessing this is to do with the really hot weather though! Other than that the shield is great !

Perfect in my opinion!

Yes it's XtremeGuard. Search on ebay for 'XtremeGuard G2x' and you will find it! It can take a long time to arrive, i'm using it on my optimus 2x and it took 5 weeks before I got it. But it's defenitely good!
I'm using Xtremeguard, and I'm not thrilled with it. It fits well and stays in place. But I'm not especially careful with my phone and the screen regularly comes into contact with keys, change, etc. This results in dimples in the screen protector that either don't go away or go away so slowly that new one are still building up.
So maybe I should say that this isn't the best option if you are careless with your phone. Somehow I managed to treat my original Moto Droid the same way for almost two years without a screen protector and without a scratch. But the G2x screen has not fared as well, and Xtremeguard has not proven to be the answer.

Hi guys,
Im searching for the best cover that will protect the entire One s while he's in my handbag etc. Right now i'm using a pouch from Krussel and thats fine but when I take the phone out he's bare naked and hasnt Got any protection until I slip him in the pouch again.. so for that reason (vulnerability) and because I want more grip all the time (i have a grey One, super slippery) im searching for an alternative to the Noreve cases which are a little expensive.. Any ideas? Shoot!

I have an otter box for my HTC one s, and it works perfectly! I can even drop it on hard tile floors from over 6 feet(although I would not recommend doing so as it may damage your phone). They are about $40 which is not very cheap, but hey, you have to do whatever you have to do to keep your phone in good condition, right? But honestly, I don't even think that you would need a case for this phone just as long as you aren't throwing it around.
You can also find some cheaper, plastic cases at retailers such as target or walmart.

I have no idea what authors hone country is, but if you are talking about an otterbox case, try going to otterbox.com and seeing you can find local retailers. There is also the options ordering one online.
Not talking about outerbox as that's not what you mentioned was sold in said stores. And pretty sure target isn't in Belgium..as you could of obtained by simply clicking the op's sn.
Also I don't think a big bulky case like outerbox is what they are looking for considering the case they want is pretty slim...

As a matter of fact I am indeed from Belgium, but there are hardly no cases on the belgian market that fit for the HTC One S so thats why I'm searching the web.

If you get Amazon in Belgium, try this or this. The shipping may cost a bit though, and I'm not sure about the reliability of the products, so you may have to do a bit of research on the ones that you think look good, as I don't know EXACTLY what you are looking for and don't want to recommend a case that you may not like.
