G2x screen protectors?

I bought 3 sets of screen protectors. One from china, one from the us, one from ny. Random sellers with good ratings. Turns out the ones from us and china scratched when even wiped with the given cloth. And the one from ny had way too many bubbles (not due to dust. It was because it was too stiff?)
So if anyone has any extras that are good that you can spare, would you be willing to donate it to me? . Please and thank yous!

I will vouch for the protectors BlazinHitman posted, I bought 1 while I was waiting on my G2x to arrive and I will say it is a pretty decent screen shield. Also out of sheer curiosity I ordered a set from T-Mobile and the ones I go from then were the worst ones I have ever seen. They give you these mm thick bullet proof screen shields that you can barely see through. Almost makes your display look like a old school gameboy

ahaha hows the touch screen with the screen protector? ahahah. and just out of curiosity, if we cant put the protector on with the first try, is it still good for a second go? as my hands arent very stable.

I got a TPU case and screen protector and epic failed to put it on. I had to trash it. I just bought the ones from the link above, they could be a little different, and maybe I'll have better luck with my hands this time around. If not, oh well, it's $2.

yeeee. good luck to us.

That. Screen protector will not affect the touch screen. And you can reuse it as long as you don't put any bends/creases in it.

No no no, the mm thick one I was referring to was the ones I bought from T-Mobile when I ordered the phone. Those things I swear are thick enough to be bullet proof. The ones you ordered are thin, and clear. You will not even know you have it on the phone when you get it on.

cool. is it scratch proof? not totally scratch proof, i mean like scratchproof from like cards and stuff. .
and does anyone have the replacement tools to change the bezel? i ordered a bezel but it didnt come with the tools. . if anyone has extras, would ya'll be kind enough to send me a screw driver and on of those poppy thingies? thanks )). i cant stand scratches or marks on my phone so i wipe the phone everytime i take it out of my pocket. and the guy i bought it from screwed me over by giving me a screwed up bezel with dents and really noticable scratches.
thanks~~~.

I put mine on using my old blockbuster card and had no problems or any scuff marks.
And I do not have any small tools like that sorry.

yea like panowolf suggested use a credit card or something like that to smooth out the screen protector when u put it on. also make sure to clean it extra well, it comes with a couple of cleaning cloths. if you put it on correctly u should be good to go

i read that its reusable. we can just wash it?
the thing is... the crap screen protectors i got from china scratched from the credit card. (lol). or maybe i was just pressing too hard.which still doesnt mke any sense.

Yes you can reuse/wash it. Just be sure to put it on slow. Most people who put them on themselves just lay the entire protector down and try to work the bubbles out. You gotta slowly apply it and work the air out as you go. But im sure you know this already

I ordered the lifetime stealth shieldz from amazon, 2 for 5 bucks in case you needed another for whatever reason. I've only had it on for a couple weeks but it still looks as good as new, feels good no scratches and still perfectly clear.

are you talking about the sides? cause then yea i see what your talking about, thats the only problem with these, other ways it covers the entire screen lengthwise including the soft keys and up to the top by the front camera

Same question. Does anyone have experience getting the full width screen protectors?
Specifically I'm looking for either matte or mirror ones.

screen protectors

I find screen protectors are useless really for the sensations. They bubble and the finger prints smear to much. Just FYI the screen on the sensation are made of gorilla glass and can resist scratching. I did a few demos with some friends where id take a coin or a key and rub on the glass and no scratching occured. I dont recommend anyone doing this though. Thats my opinion.

I agree with you. I have had mine since launch and have never once used a screen protector. I put my phone in my pocket with loose change and keys all the time still no scratches. But I think this is all pretty well known, people just want that extra insurance that their screens won't get scratched

I'm currently using an XtremeGuard protector. it's been on since June. Still going strong.

Not running a screen protector is like barebacking a hooker. You might be fine
for a while but you will eventually mess something up

You need to make sure the surface is ultra clean before application. Mine last for months.

So much for Gorilla Glass..

My phone was just knocked off a coffee table onto a rug...
Must have met up with a grain of sand. I'm going to see that every time I look at the phone now...
Lesson learned? Use screen protector, even if you hate the rubbery feel
(tried my best to get a picture of it... pretty difficult to focus on)

I work in general construction. Meaning, dirt and saw dust is constantly flying around. I messed up in not buying a screen protector, and now the screen has a few hair line scratches that are only visible in certain lighting and at certain angles.
I don't really care though, cause I have SquareTrade insurance.

ahhh man i'm sorry . . mines got a few scratches on it which pisses me off everytime i see them, i don't even get how the screen got scratched. but that's just phones nowdays if you don't get a huge otterbox case stuffs gonna go down =/ F an otterbox case tho what's the point of the slimmest phone if we gotta do that?!

I recently dropped my phone as well with a case on, wasn't much help, the screen got chipped. however after examining it further, it seems that the screen has been treated with a gloss or some kind of finish on top of the glass. This may explain the scratching issue. It's really the gloss or finish that's being scratched off.

Annnnnnd theres another smaller knick near the top :'(
So I have been contemplating exchanging this phone for another because the lower plastic rear cover sticks out slightly on one side (was that way out of the box)... and I like my expensive things to be as perfect condition as possible (ironic, right?)
Think this damage to the glass will completely kill my chances of Amazon swapping out the phone?

Idk about amazon but I know T-Mobile wouldn't mention it especially if its not cracked cracked

If you don't like the rubbery feel look up realook screen protectors on amazon you can't even tell they are there had one on my vibrant for 2 years before I got my one s and it still looks ok considering the abuse I put it through. I have one on both my wifes and my one s's and she can't tell it's there either.

I had a Vibrant with Gorilla Glass that lasted 2 years without a screen protector and did not have a scratch on it. I thought my new One S would be the same.
Instead, after only 2 days - never having dropped it and with the phone only residing in my pocket (not the same pocket with my keys and change), my One S somehow got a hairline scratch on the screen.
I have since put a screen protector on it - though I much prefer not having one on it. Every time I see the scratch, I still get annoyed.
My advice to anyone considering buying a One S - before you even leave the store, invest in a screen protector.

Geesh.. makes me wonder if Sony's "scratch resistant" glass is actually any more durable..

I wasn't going to place a protector on my One S... but this changed my mind.

That's why you get a screen protector and a shell case right out of the box. If you are that particular about your expensive phone, it is well worth the extra cash. I got a shell case for mine and a screen protector as soon as I got my one s. Also helps resale value later if you have no scratches on it anyplace. X) I love my phone!

I knowwwww but I loved how the phone felt!! but I got a case anyway and had actually put it on earlier that day haha (just not the screen protector)

I learned my lesson the hard way too, now I use cheap matt protectors that I buy from Ebay for £3 for 5. Bargain considering my phone is worth nearly £350, thats as long as the screen stays scratch free

Cool, I am gonna order from Amazon ASAP. How does it feel compared to the glass, is it smooth or does it have some resistance? Or does it have any pixelation?

Anyone not running a screen protector?

I jus took off my zag hd bc it felt so damn grippy. And I must say I'm kinda falling in love with this phone all over again. Feels so much more responsive. Someone reassure me that it's ok to go protector less. I have 2 cases to kinda protect it.

I don't use one either...keep it in my pocket most of the day with absolutely zero scratches.

USE A SCREEN PROTECTOR!! GORILLA GLASS OR NOT. you'll be sorry when it finally does scratch. dont use zagg i took mine off and used a cheapo ebay one works perfect

I used one with my iPhone 3G and never really liked the rubbery feel. When I got my iPhone 4, I couldn't bear to put anything on that screen. I felt the same way with my HOX. The screen is just too damn nice to cover up with anything. I'm getting some microscratches but they are only visible in direct sunlight, so it doesn't bother me much.

Get a protector. Mine scratched (had it for a month). It wasn't major but keys and phone in same pocket dont go well. Even if you try to avoid it.. eventually it will happen. Small light scratches

This is a good point. If you're going bareback, you need to be more careful. My HOX gets a pocket to itself--nothing else goes in there.

No protector since day-one, little hairlines are all over the screen. They're so innocuous that it has to be off and in the sunlight for me to see, but they're there, and I'm pretty sure it's only going to get worse over the next 8+ months I that I'll have the phone before moving on.
I'm very, VERY picky about scuffs and whatnot, I carry this thing by itself in my pockets and never place it face down, I can only assume the screen has something against expensive dress-slack pockets.
My Evo 4G and Evo 3D both went a year in the same conditions with absolutely none of these little hairline scuffs, and that's the only part about it that really gets me. My Evo 4G screen actually cracked (dropped a PSP on it from only about a foot, but the metal corner hit and it was toast) and I replaced it myself with an OEM screen (fingers were crossed) and even that screen never saw a single scuff mark.
I'm getting one of those full-body clear application things. We'll see how that goes.

*insert obligatory "this has been talked about" post*
Now that it's out of the way. It's seriously a YMMV thing. Absolutely no scratches on my HOX. And absolutely no scratches on my old Skyrocket.

Sporting the otterbox defender with no screen protector and always in clip when not in use.

No screen protector, no case. I HATE screen protectors, they completely ruin the feel of the screen.

I don't like cases or screen protectors. They ruin the look and feel of the phone. Cases make it fat, no matter how thin they are. Screen protectors ruin the smooth slick feel of the screen, and remove some visual quality, no matter how good the protector is.
Same with my old Sensation, no protector, but it wasn't scratched.
All it takes is common sense. Don't put the phone in the same pocket as your keys etc...

I never put my phone in my pocket. I use a side pouch.

I think that some people buy the wrong screen protectors. I can't even tell mine is there and it actually makes it easier for my finger to slide across the screen.
Plus there's always a risk of getting a scratch when you least expect it, like from a wallet...

Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I don't use one, I did on my previous phones. I always hated the way the screen protectors felt compared to the bare glass.
The only scratches I have are from dropping my phone on the street, they are more like little nicks in the screen than
scratches. Now that I already have some, I don't think I'll put a screen protector on. I do have a screen protector that came
with my Otterbox if I feel like putting one on.
I figure that by the time I need a new phone, I'll already have a job and enough money to buy a new phone, so I don't feel like
babying this phone too much.

I've been rockin mine completely naked since release back in may.. hardly any scratches, only noticeable in a well lit area with the screen off at a certain angle. My phone went face first on the cement and slid about 7 inches, and I also dropped mine and I slid across my wood floors and still nothing.
However my buddy has deep scratches that can catch a fingernail. Someone else I know dropped his and the screen cracked from about a foot off the ground..

If you're a girl (which you may be, judging by your picture) you keep your phone in your purse. Purses are dirty and have sand/dirt in them. Sand will scratch your phone.

Only problem with me is I hate to cover up this beautiful screen! It was the main selling point of the phone for me. The way I see it is the screen protector will get scratched too, slaying the gorgeous LCD. It'll preserve the glass, but I'll get a new phone with my upgrade and this one will be passed down to maybe my godchild or someone. Screen protectors are perfect for long term users/others looking for the highest resale value

You should be good as long as you don't put it in your pocket with your keys or anything that can scratch it. Also, remember to lightly get most of the dust off before you wipe off finger prints. That way you won't get any small hairline scratches. If you're careful you should be good without one.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app

I've always preferred naked.
Having said that I've damaged a few too.
If u want to resell, use a cover for the back and a protector for the screen.
The polycarbonate backing within a few days started to show marking.
The screen has a very feint hairline scratch down the middle, but it hasn't been dropped & I'm very careful with handling it.
I'm yet to find covers or protectors that keep the phone looking good as nude, but if u want it looking good as new u wanna cover it up.

I looked up closest ghost armor retailer and had them install the clear ghost armor on the screen and the black carbon weave armor on the back.
I originally had them put a white one on the back as my X is white, but went back and they changed it to a black one for me at my request. Looks good in white an black.
Cost of two pieces installed was 20 bucks, 5 bucks if I ever need a half replaced for life of phone.

I have never used a screen protector. When I bought my One X I was talked into the Zagg protector from an AT&T employee, It wasn't bad but after it started getting hot here in AZ, I pulled it out of my pocket and the screen protector was slidin around. So I took it off. Havn't bothered to replce it and actualy like it better without.

I have always preferred naked phones.
I have never found a screen protector that doesn't make the phone less responsive or make the screen less crisp.
Looking at your phone wrong can cause the One X screen to scratch. (See the thread in the general section, or just Google One X screen scratch)
Others have recommended the Zagg HD screen protector, but I haven't tried one myself.

I don't have a case but always had a clear screen protection on my devices amd never felt a difference. I'd rather pit one on then having to look at a deep scratch every time I look at the screen, that's thousand times more annoying to me.
