Ok i received my phone a couple of days ago from and ebay user. The phone was suppose to be brand new. But to my surprise right out if the box it had a pretty big scratch. I think that little piece of plastic that sticks out of the back and goes under the battery is what scratched it. Because the film thats suppose to be protecting the screen was not applied, so that plastic piece was rubbing up against the bare screen during shipment.
So anyways i paid $450 for the phone, and he gave me $25 back since it had a scratch. but this scratch is really bothering me. Is there any way i could get htc to replace it?
Doubt it very much, you can ask them but that's about it
$25 off for a scratched screen? Are you kidding? Got a 60" plasma with a cracked screen for sale for $2000, willing to go $1925 just for you
G
why can not you send it back to ebay, I bought a xperia x10 a while ago from ebay and the buttons were not functioning, I sent it back for a full refund.
If the seller does not agree then I would suggest you to get EBAY involved
or you can just buy one of this

eBay buyer protection. Contact PayPal they work faster than ebay. Refund back the $25 and open a case and get all ur money back. I wouldn't keep it. If I got a scratch on my screen I wouldnt want the phone anymore

If this is Gorilla glass......
I put a couple of awful scratches in mine right away. Near about made me cry!
But I went to the mall and had a Ghost Armor screen protector installed on it....did a great job of hiding those scratches. Try it.
Shoulda' put it on when I bought it. 20/20 hindsight, ain't it grand?

It's just a screen protector LOL but it's doing the job. 'I had the silver carbon fiber put on the back as well. It's three pieces of sticker that cover the three pieces of the back. I was hoping it would make it less slippery. Didn't really help. Looks great though.

He said that dependent on them getting sample then its a couple more weeks till ready for production. So dont hold our breath. UGGG
trust me this is a dual core phone an otterbox case will be made for it, it was just released so it might be may or june before we get it
Love the Zagg Invisible Shield. Will be ordering it for mine in the next few days. I've tried some of the other less flexible and 'cheaper' protectors but could never get them to install perfectly. Always had a bubble or some dust or something no matter what. The Zagg is great because you thoroughly wet the surface and the film allowing you to move it, remove it and reinstall (until it dries of course), etc.
About to order this from them...
http://www.bodyguardz.com/t-mobile-g2x-cases-screen-protectors-covers-shields-skins-films.html
Use coupon "PROTECT" to get 10%. What searching thru Google does. ;D
I'm using the Zagg now. It's great.
Although If you happen to get the bodyglove case for the phone it does cause the screen to push and bubble up at 4 of the snap in places on the case. As long as you don't need to take the case constantly on/off you'll be ok.
-1 for Zagg. Protects well but always needs to be wiped and is not at all smooth. Took mine off after a month.

Before putting on a skin, I scratched my N1 even though many were claiming that as durable. I wish there was a real side by side comparison of that against the Gorilla Glass.

I had a Droid (with Gorilla Glass) from November 2009 until I got my G2x. I never use cases and am clumsy and careless. By the time I got rid of the Droid the whole phone looked like absolute crap. Except the glass, which was without a scratch. Anecdote != evidence, but take it for what it's worth.

Thankyou for sharing your pics, it looks great.

I'm quite impressed with the screen protector part of the package (which I also purchased). Would you happen to have any tips for applying it as flawlessly as you did?
I won't be getting Zagg again. I went through a several of them on my Vibrant but I could never get one that didn't have vertical lines that turned into rainbows when the screen was on. Also, I couldn't get use to the 'rubber' feel of the screen and just took it off.
Once I got the "Realook" I never looked back. I hope they come out with a screen protector for the Sensation.
Looks pretty nice, good job on the install!
So zagg went with 3 pieces of film on the back, I wonder how that is going to hold up in regards to the film peeling after a few months of use.
I got the full body film from Phantom Skinz and they did a 1 piece film for the back cover. I think it might the install a bit harder, though.
If you want to compare and contrast, I put up some pics here:

The hardest part I couldn't do it and I throw it away the piece in top for the camera It was very tiny and it gave me a big headache. But I am happy with that. I got the maximum. It's almost 7 pieces.

Max protection is $24.99 but you can always get a discount. I only paid $22, shipping included.
I'll never buy or recommend this product. Too grippy and has the orange peel effect. I had the full coverage on my wildfire and it felt really cheap!
I'm really considering buying the ZAGG shield to but as already been said I'm afraid the back will peel since it's 3 seperate parts.
But I'm really happy with the ZAGG shield on my iPad!
Anybody already had the feeling the back isn't gonna stay on for long?
And how are the soft keys responding with a screen protector over it?

100 % nice work ..excellent
I am sure there is nothing wrong with the Zagg skin, but i had one whole body skin from Zagg on my HTC Desire, and after a while it starts to sweat out glue, and that made me not wanting it.. The screen protector works fine too, although in the beginning it is very 'rubbery', but as you use it it gets better to handle. Best feeling is always just glass!
Get bestskinsever its a lot cheaper and the same thing.

Does it effect touch sensitivity? I've ordered my zagg, coming in few days but I'm not sure if it does have side effects
Thanks for your post,
Just order zagg film for my sensation!
I will report my experience too!
I used a Zagg shield for my Touch Pro 2. I love the shield but after a few months it does start peeling. I contacted Zagg and got a free replacement but I reckon the Sensation shield will start to peel, on the back pieces and the sides.
I think I'll get a TPU case and put a screen protector on.
Thanks for the pics though - I hope you have a better experience with your shield. You did a great application!
who uses a screen protector and what is the best one?
Ive had this one on my phone since early December and no complaints or problems. Highly recommend it. http://cgi.ebay.com/3x-LCD-Screen-P...Accessories&hash=item27bcad8c90#ht_500wt_1139
I usually go to RadioShack. They have cut to fit ones, but don't use the "Wright Right" ones, as they suck, MAJORLY. They scratch way too easily, and have removable film on only one side. I prefer the kind that has removables on both sides. Basically, I peel off the back, then apply, and there is another film sheet on the top that I can keep on while I use a credit card to pour on the pressure to apply, then remove that upper layer film and have a pristine, beautifully applied screen protector. Oh yeah...
You don't really have to have one.. this screen is unscratchable. I never have used one and there is not a single mark. I personally like to take a pair of scissors to it as hard as I can to show off to friends. But do as you please. Lol

Unscratchable my a$$. I had to take my screen protector off for 3 days and it definitely got scratched.
If you keep it in a pocket, sand (quartz) can scratch it.
i had one for my moment and the problem i had with that was that when i would drag my fingers across the screen it would slide smoothly, it was jumpy that was a zagg screen protector just wondering if there was something better or if they are all created equally
I have an extremeguard.com shield on mine, not terribly happy with it, I've had zagg shields and bse shields and they where pretty similar. So I would probably recommend one of those over the extreme guard.

Zagg invisible shield. Hands down.
Its like $20 and if you get it at a mall kiosk they'll apply it for you. It also has an unlimited lifetime warranty. So if the protector gets scratched, if it peels up/comes off you can take it back and they will give you another protector and only charge couple dollars to apply the new one.

I just got a cheap $1 3 pack from amazon, I figured I could use them while I looked around for some better ones. Turned out they were better than I thought. I can't even tell I have a screen protector, and I have 2 spares although a lot of people said that they sucked because they would leave bubbles, but if you've ever applied screen protectors you know that the bubbles are human errors and not the products fault. And for the price why not try them out. But whatever you do DO NOT get that crap wright protect from sprint, those just suck. In case anyone was wondering yes they were cut out, even came with a little card and cloth.
I work in a sprint store, and I ended up ordering the $1.49 anti-glare protectors on ebay.
For one; they are way cheaper than even my employee discount on the Write Right brand 3 pack, and two; they cover the entire front bezel.
They are awesome, go on smooth, and I like that the matte finish makes it smoother to use the screen than the naked gorilla glass. (I'm not worried about scratches as much as the feel of using the screen - big reason I hate the Invisible Shield protectors.)
I still actually like the ones we sell in the store, and I've put on a lot of protectors for customers, and these almost always go on really well with no bubbles, and no need for a squeegee (meaning no need for the top plastic cover.) Some people really like the privacy anti-glare protector that comes in it, but not really a good idea if you want to use it for GPS (unless you have the phone pointed directly at you.)
The write right brand aren't a bad purchase, but to be honest, you could go with the ones in the link above, and get a better product for cheap from a great US seller.
zagg's are probably some of the worst and most overpriced screen protectors. try ghost armor
You can try stealth shieldz there nice cheaper then zagg. Tho zagg is on ebay right now 5 dollars a pop for the kit. also xtream guard is a sweet protector too. All those are worth checkin out.
Sometimes the cheap ass ones work pretty good.

I just visited my local ghost armor kiosk and had them wrap my phone. I got the matte finish on this puppy. Say hello to the perfect fit, and goodbye to those darn glossy/slippery edges.

Sweet! you said a kiosk, I suppose inside a mall right? Are they held on with adhesive? $?
Go to ghost-armor.com and click on locations. Put in your zip code and it'll pull up the closest ones to you.
This wrap cost me 40$, but they have carbon fiber wraps and such that cost 45$. It includes the screen. The dude told me that if i just wanted to do the back without the screen its only $20.
And its held on with adhesive. They use a special box to put it on. Its really cool. If you get it done, definitely watch them!

I might have this done on mine this weekend. They have one at a local mall about 15 miles from me. Not sure if I want the matte or glossy. One thing I do hate is finger prints. But I also do not like the way matte makes the screen very very dull.
wow I didn't even know they had these. I am planning on getting the white skyrocket so I didn't want a case because I wanted to show off the white phone this will be perfect. there is one in a mall that's like 20 minutes away awesome info!
looks very cool! How is the screen protector portion? Is it crystal clear and feals like glass? I hate the Zagg protectors because they ruin the feel of a touch screen. Vikuti and Steinheil are great, but a ***** to put on right. (For me at least...)

Ghost armor doesn't do matte screens only crystal clear.
The front protector itself is polyurethane like Zagg, however it is much thinner and way more natural. You need a microscope to see the orange peel. It fits better than the zagg best buy gave me too. Much more precise.

Went and got the carbon fiber back set and clear front for $43.. pretty happy with it. Much easier to hold on to now with the carbon fiber back, definitely the best part of it. I may or may not keep the front cover, since the gorrilla glass really doesnt need a cover. But I'd recommend the carbon fiber back to everyone with a skyrocket.

Had the carbon fiber on my iPhone 4 for a year, but I honestly think the normal ghost armor is better for grip than the carbon fiber. I personally got the Matte installed yesterday and like the looks and the grip to it. Compared to zagg, the orange peel look is much less noticeable, huge fan of the Ghost Armor.

I do however recommend the screen stay on though, for I did exactly what you are thinking of. Took it off because GG doesn't need it. Boy was I wrong. Put it in my glove box full of junk while getting pulled over, took the phone out and had a lovely slash down the middle. Gorilla glass my ass.
Luckily I saved the ghost armor protector and brought it back to them, the guy put on a new one for free. Amazing service from them, and I'm never taking this cover off haha

My whole phone took the guy about 15 minutes. He was juggling like 3 phones at once though. The kid worked pretty quick, especially compared to all the other lazy NJ kids in retail.
How easy is it to put on, without screwing anything up, if there isn't a location near me and I have to apply it myself? I'm in Houston and the closest location is is Austin or Dallas. I also have little to no personal experience putting these things on phones, but I've seen some installation videos for similar products and it doesn't seem too difficult.

I agree - I have the iLoome and after I put one on mine, my daughter insisted on one. It also went on easier and more bubble-free than any film protector I've ever dealt with.

How is it? I am thinking of picking up one of these?
How is the install? I always mess up my screen guards..
I got this one on my screen http://www.eforchina.com/v/159029
For the price, I wasn't expecting much but it works flawless Got it on my screen 2 months now and it doesn't distort the screen and looks cool on it
I got this for 99 cents shipped on ebay. Wasn't expecting much but I was surprisingly happy with the fitment and quality.

go for a tempered glass on ebay for $10
I got a skinomi from amazon. I think it was like 7 bucks. Lifetime warranty supposedly. I like it, it doesn't have the drag my old zagg's used to have when I move my finger around. It is a wet application, but it works, so I don't really have any complaints.

I made a mistake of purchasing skinomi for my late iphone 4s. The supposed lifetime warranty is a load of baloney. Such a hassle to convince them that I needed replacement as the corners started to peel. And after days of dispute, I got my replacement but they wanted me to pay for shipping. $3 shipping on a $10 product. Never again. But your experience may differ.

Good to know about the warranty. That's partially why I said supposedly. I guess I haven't had it long enough to know the long term quality. For a short term cheap screen saver it seems to be pretty good.

Awesome, good luck. My first one did not apply well, it had some weird line-defect in it. Got a new one, and i love it. I've been using it about 5 weeks now, and I don't have any scratches or marks on it. A plastic screen protector would be scratched up in a few days.
I keep my phone in my jacket pocket, or back pants pocket.
I've been really happy with it.
Got a zagg only because its the only one Best Buy offered when i got my phone. Will definitely be getting the spigen tempered glass one next payday. I hate the feeling of screen protectors (especially zagg, feels like an orange peel). Glass is the only way to go. IMO its an expensive phone, no need to be a cheap charlie when it comes to protecting the screen. Just my .02 cents. 30 bucks for a tempered glass one that will fit properly isnt much.

Agreed. I have plastic on my tablet. just flipping and closing the smart cover is enough to cause huge scratches on it.
I love the iSmooth ones, i bought them from amazon

sorry for the late response. install was a breeze. I did however manage to get some dirt on the adhesive side of the glass right before I was about to place it on and freaked out for a bit after realizing the back side is pretty sticky and you cant simply wipe dirt off of it. Thankfully I had some sticky notes nearby and used the sticky side of the note and padded the adhesive side of the glass and it grabbed all the dirt right off

I didn't have this one but It went great.
What I did was do it after a hot shower (steamy), cleaned the screen with the included cloth and used the included stick repeatly to remove all dust.
when I see no dust on there, I quickly pealed off the red tab and aligned it before applying pressure and sticking it in place.
you can get a tempered glass S4 screen protector for $7 on ebay.. select US ONLY
