[Q] Do you have a screen protector on?

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

Nope...always naked with my phones and tablets...over a decade long never a scratch. But thats my lifestyle...i use good common sense..i feel thats why i never had a scratch..i have no beef with peeps who choose to use them, i never had too.

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 .

I'm using incredible S screen protector at the moment. A little bit bubble on the curve side up and down the screen. But it fit well and i'm cool with it temporary

I'm going up to t mobile later to see if they have some cases. For those who have it naked: you guys are able to use swype with ease? I find it alot easier with a protector on. And I hate smudges and fingerprints and what not.

Well I bought that with the screen protectors and they gave 20% off both things. It was 16.99 before the discount and 13.59 after. Its pretty nice though.

My sensation has a wifi bug where if I turn it sideways, wifi completely turns off. Can I return it to tmobile if I bought it from walmart? And if not, do I have to go back to ths specific walmart I bought it from for an exchange? Or can I go to any one?

[Q] Removing Scratches

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.

Did u notice ur whites get any whiter?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

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

Screen protector....

Good day. I'm looking into screen protectors for the Infuse. Any recommendations?
Sent from my Inspire 3 1/3G using XDA Premium

I really like the Zagg invisible shield. Some people whine about the orange peel effect, but you cant even feel it. Sure, it adds some minor friction but only if you are pressing down hard, which you shouldnt be doing anyways. The phone can register light touches.
I think it works better than other protectors when it comes to scratch protection because its thicker and actually prevents scratches,where your average thin film of plastic just keeps dust away

I agree. Zagg Invisible Shield all the way. Accept no substitutes!

I'm rocking the ivisor AG. I got mine att store, maybe available at bestbuys and such. The price is $24.99 for just one protector but its well worth it. This particular protector is 100% anti-glare and anti-fingerprint and its removable and washable. So technically this one screen protector should out last your contract, providing you're not careless with your phone. Highly recommened.

Same here. Only thing is that to me it does take away "some" from the quality of the screen. but thats to be expected with the level of protection. by quality I mean the "crispness" (drawing blank on exact word) But would still recommend

Same here. I bought my infuse in early June, the chick at the store put it on for me, I first took it off about 3 weeks later and man...did my screen pop with color. It may take away from the crispness but its wayyy better than the screen protector on my iphone, felt like a projection tv

i would recommend the ivisor ag from moshi. i sell these in my store all day. they're 100% bubble free so anyone can remove and reapply at any time and there will still be absolutely no bubbles plus you can wash it what???? so sick...
the good thing about the invisible shield from zagg @ best buy (or where ever) is that is life time warranty but have you seen the process of that??? you have to send the screen protector back to them and pay for another one then they refund you later on. can you say ridiculous!!!

I bought screen protectors from Amazon.com 20 cents each... , Excellent, Very nice premium quality.

Ivisor bar none. Best screen protector I have ever had. I have washed it several times with soap an water works perfectly.

ZAGG invisibleShield For Desire S

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 got a screen protector when i bought the device,since i was not able to get the one for the DS at that time i got an smaller one
now i am going to buy a new screen protector & was considering a antiglare type but i heard that they make the screen look bad & the colors diffused,is that true & if it is does it make it look very bad?
i am also considering buying a case do you have any recommendations?

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.

Nope , it won't leave any residue when it comes off still recommend it !
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 !

The screen protector doesn't even cover up the proximity sensor. There is a cut out for it...
It may be a ROM you are using with RC tweaks, they make the sensor less responsive

Scratched Screen.

Not sure how it happened, but i finally picked up a scratch on my screen. Now i will be definitely be picking up a screen protector to help prevent further issues.
Is there anything recommend to help buff it out? I'm not sure if its 100% repairable, which is fine. Just something to help conceal it.
Was contemplating using toothpaste, but didn't want to risk further ruining my screen.

Displex works. Look it up on eBay. Ps stay away from the screen logos. I had an issue on another device

I really wouldn't use any method to remove the scratch on the phone. Just put a good screen protector on it, like Ghost Armor and you won't even see th e scratch anymore.
I just scratched mine last week also.... No idea how, ghost armor makes it look brand new.
