I didn't care too much to take it off. Did you keep yours on or took it out?
If anything I might just buy a sleeve and still leave it in the plastic

that's just ghetto...get a screen protector if you're that worried..the plastic that came on the touchpad is loose and makes a lot of noise and was annoying as hell when holding it.

Leaving the plastic on something is ghetto....? I saw a screen protector for $29.99 or should I just buy a iPad screen protector and cut it.....now that's ghetto.
haha yeah Charlie, that's pretty bad. The case from HP works well and a screen protector may not be all that necessary. The HP's screen is so nice, you shouldn't cheapen the experience with the plastic.

What case do u suggest. I'm still looking for one. I heard the screen is kinda hard to scratch.
Get something like this. These have kept my Samsung Focus and 2 iPhones safe for a long time.
It's a little too expensive for a $149 tablet (I got the 32GB) but I'd still get it as I saved a lot on the tablet itself. Also, expect a sale on these as soon as Touchpad is no longer sold.

It's Gorilla glass like iPhone 4. It scratches just "almost" as easily as normal glass but a lot more shatter resistant.
I scrunched up the plastic wrapper and gave it to my cats as a toy... They love it
It's not some kind of rare museum piece or something... Just use it the way it was meant to. Would you wrap up all your furniture, tv, etc, in plastic too? Never could see the point of screen protectors and the likes, as long as you're reasonably careful with your stuff, there's no reason why it should get damaged.

And my tv still has the plastic on it lol jk
HAHA I did for about a day, then I got annoyed with it. I might not even get a screen protector because have I been rocking my iPad w/o one and the screen is still perfect. Find it pretty difficult to scratch this up if I keep it in those portfolio type cases, and make sure I am wiping it with a clean micro-fiber cloth.
wait till you get some dirt or dust between that loose plastic wrap and your touchpad's screen. Its going to get scratched and then hate yourself for even considering this... Get a cheap screen protector from ebay ($9.99) and the genuine HP touchpad case... Bestbuy sells them for $24.99. I highly recommend it. Remember, you're protecting a $400 to $500 tablet. Just cause you got it for $100 or $150 doesn't mean its worth that little.

I have the case and its the best one I've seen yet....
I put a full body skin on mine earlier today... It's amazing. Feels like nothing is there, but its protected all over from any scratches without adding any bulk.

I would just recommend taking it off. Buy a case and screen protector, if you want, but if not, then just let it be.
Mine is naked and it feels better that way. I don't lug it around places, or haven't yet, and just use it when I'm on the couch or on the bed. When I'm not using it, it isn't just sitting there, it's safely stowed away somewhere. Lowers the chances for knocking it off a table or something.
You'll be fine. Take off the damn plastic already.

I'm getting a screen protector on this puppy as soon as possible, not because I fear scratching it but because I hope it helps with avoiding the smudges.
Sure the screen is gorilla glass, but that back is a B***H about scratches... I have my plastic on still to protect the BACK not the front. I have a carbon fiber back skin coming in soon though.
i have mine on still until my screen protector comes so I don't think its ghetto

I'll have my Nexus tomorrow. Just wondering, is the teflon coating on this thing pretty solid, or is it a good idea to get a protective case for it? I'm VERY careful with my phones. I never used a case with my MyTouch3G or my G1, and they stayed in great shape with only a few very minor scratches here and there. But if anything happened to my Nexus, I'm sure I'd be pretty pissed at myself. So... input? Thanks?

I didn't use a case for about a month, only used the sleeve. Dropped it on my mat on my rug for my computer chair several times. No marks at all. I bought a Ghost Armor body kit just in-case.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpGAW6L5x8U
the coating seems pretty tough to me,
personally i use the sleeve it came with during pocket transportation
and from what i heard the screen can be easily scratched by aluminum, so i would avoid any situation that would cause that to rub your screen
I use the crystal gel case, its very thin an unobtrusive. I'd say go with a case and even a screen shield; better safe than sorry. Besides, when Windows Phone 7 or something else from Google comes out, you want to keep that resale value up!
Trust me... you'll be just fine with the included neoprene sleeve. What's the point of having such a svelte phone if you encumber it with a case?

If you drop it on concrete then it will scratch the case. You don't have to have a gigantic case. Just something to cover the actual phone.
I have a BSE and it's amazing.
It is made of a silicone type material that gives it a little rubbery feel [not a lot at all, just a little bit].
It makes it less vulnerable to scratches and damage to the actual phone.
It gives the phone a small bit of grip so it's not so easily dropped.
It gives it a glossy look.
It covers every inch of the phone including the screen.
It's crystal clear and doesn't get as many smudges as the normal screen.
Here's a great review on it
The only problems I had was at first it looks a little hazy but the skin just has to sit for a little while then it will look great.
And applying the skin is very tedious and takes about 30 minutes to do it right. If you do it wrong it will have bubbles and wont sit right.
Here's some pics of mine

I say get a skin as I find the phone to be too slippery without one. I have gotten used to it but I don't trust other people to use it without a skin.
@dumbestcrayon
nice skin, makes the phone look oh so sexxyy..
p.s. Glassjaw is AMAZINGG
I dropped my n1 on concrete and the scratch was enough to make me consider selling it! [I know, issues...] So now I use the stock case but get sick of taking it out all the time, its fine in the pocket without protection

Oh yeah I love it. One of the only physical flaws, IMO, was that the body isn't glossy. Now its better.
Glassjaw is pretty good. Haven't heard them in a long while. They came up on last.fm.
I would say no, but that is a pretty tasteful case posted in the forum. If you are on the fence, I say go for it. the phone is very durable, but it was a bit slick in the hands at first.
I'm all for the bse. Wish I put one on my g1

I have a belt clip also. I just like the BSE because it has no flaws. It makes the phone glossy, a little grip, protects it from any scratches because it covers 99.9% of the phone [where the .1% is the tiny lines between where the pieces of the skin comes together XD]
And, it was $8. So it's 100% win for me.

Yeah, I had it for my MyTouch. When I ordered my N1 I expected to have to throw it out. It's a good quality clip that I got from some website. I forgot where. My cousin got his N1 before me so I tried his and it fit perfect. I was pretty happy about it. IT was a little bit tight at first but it stretched out a bit. It has an open spot right where the headphone jack is too. But as of today I got my Rockfish BT headset so I wont need that anymore
This headset is amazing...A2DP is great.
dumbestcrayon, have you had any experience with the Invisible Shield?
I currently have the Invisible Shield on my phone without any complaints, just wondering if you had a comparison.
Price-wise, mine was more expensive at what, 25 bucks i think, but albeit with free lifetime replacement. Dunno about performance though...

Haven't tried it but I can say that I probably wont either lol. $25 is ridiculous. the specs seem to be the same thing actually.
i use the Seidio innocase 2. Its awesome except the fact that it cuts up your screen protector when you slide it on. But the phone outside is fully protected.

I can't make out however, if the full body skin also covers the edge (open slit) of the screen to prevent any dust/lint from getting inside it and further into the screen.
Can you confirm please?
I bought this the other day:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/FoneM8-Desi...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1273093982&sr=1-14
Got it today and I can report it is a bargin! only slightly reduces the sensitivity of the screen, which I actually like! Fit is good and you get 5 of them for <£2. The seller is doing themselves an injustice.
Oh and put it on with the peel off tab at the top. It fits the other way around (as I found out) but its meant to be at the top.
JAmes.
Re: Screen protector - bargin!!!
do they completely cover the screen?
Ordered last night. will give em a try when they come. the ones i ordered before are rubbish.
Ordered a pack @ £2 one cant complain Will add to this thread when they arrive
Yup total coverage.
I'm gonna buy another pack before the seller bumps up the price.
Can get pictures if wanted?
JAmes.
I recently ordered this screen protector from eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/x2-LCD-Screen...ries_MobilePhoneBatteries?hash=item2559ea1f8e
It literally took only two days to arrive from US and its one of the best full screen coverage protectors I have every used, well impressed. Only £2.00 (including postage) and you receive two screen protectors.
After applying, I have not noticed any adverse affects on the touch screen; if anything, it actually feels better/smoother, with no trapped air bubbles or dust underneath the screen.
Note: lucky i was sent two protectors, I messed up applying the first one because it caught some dust particles in the air if you order this, make sure you apply in a dust free room!
why do you need one when it has a glass screen?
Try and scratch your screen and when you don't manage to and provide evidence I'll remove my protector

Please do - pictures would be great. Can you take one of an unused screen protector too?
How is it applied? With a liquid solution or strips on top/bottom that has to be pulled?
Yo! Pictures aren't perfect I'm afraid and I had to use the flash and I forgot to clean my grubby paw prints off
You get 5 in the pack + a big general one you can use for something else.... dunno what
I've not applied this one perfectly, its slightly mis-alligned at the bottom left which has a knock on effect at the top, but its only off by about 0.5mm so I'm gonna wait until it annoys me too much before I use up another. I've tried to show it in the pics. If it were perfectly alligned it would take a really trained eye to spot it.

It looks nice.
Is it clear or matte?
It looks a lot like one I had from DC Mugen for my Samsung i780 and uses the same method of applying it.
I put an InvisibleShield on my Desire a few days ago. Very nice protector, but I hate applying the InvisibleShield because it always seem to get screwed up.
The "peel" method is much easyer as the whole protector isn't exposed while applying.
Its clear. The picture was taken on top of my mousemat which is frosted glass so might be making it look a little matted. Its also still got the protector covers on which makes it not as clear. Oh and my paw prints are all over the phone when I took the pics.
They are a little tricky to fit, but you get 5 of them for £2 and you can take them off and put them back on, although its difficult not to get it dirty when doing so. Actually I've just read the instructions on how to fit it.... opps I pulled the whole protector off and then fitted it. Oh well I've got 3 left to try
JAmes.
PS. If I remember I'll get some pics in sunlight tomorrow.
Some indoor pictures (like previously posted) but the the screen turned on would also be appreciated if that is not too much to ask.
it looks like the PDAir protector but you only get one of them and I already made it dirty.
Plus could not get the air bubbles out.

lol... never thought of scotch tape! maybe you could try it in your bathroom after you have a bath as the steam will remove the dust particles from the air.
I bought some of these from eBay last week and have to say its a brilliant buy. under £2 for 5 is a bargain. I have passed one of my spares to a mate. Perfect fit on screen and no noticeable reduction in sensitivity. Just make sure you give the screen a good wipe with the cloth provided beforehand and you should be fine. No air bubbles and after over a week of use I have nothing bad to say about it.

Most protectors you can wash under the tap and 'apply wet' to the screen. I've done this a few times with various devices if you dont get it right the time/ get a spec of dust underneath etc. You simply squeegee out the water with a credit card (or similar) with a thin material wrapped around it to avoid scratches. Very much like window tints.
I bought a gel skin and a screen protector at T-mobile in the mall today. Already took them both off because they made the phone look and feel like **** in my hand. Honestly, it felt like the same dimensions as an iPhone. Yuck.
I know I'm gonna drop it eventually, but it looks even ****tier in the case than it would with scratches, so **** it. This is such a sexy phone I just want to look at it all the time.
What's everyone else doing?
I have the red one... dude I couldn't stand to hold my phone for even 5 minutes without a case lol maybe I'm going through my babying phase but if I gotta be with this for next 2 years then I gotta keep it lookin new at all times. It's just too slick to me without a case imo

I can't stand a case either...I also can't stand the screen protector that they cut for the mt4g, cuz it is reduced glare and it seems you take away from the beautiful display.

still nekkid. I'm just using the G1 sleeve. It fits the MT4G perfectly.
Bare back all the way, I would rather pay for an Insurance replacement If I dropped or scratched the display. But I will not cover its natural beauty with plastic or rubber.
Coming from a Vibrant I realize that my only downgrade is the display, Everything else is an upgrade, So why would I further reduce this display with plastic or rubber. I keep one pocket empty at all times, the only thing I use this pocket for is my MT4G.

no case......tried a couple from tmo but didnt like them. the clear shell w/ kickstand was the best of the bunch but i still like the phone better totally bare
Nothing all the way around. That said, I'd like to try a clear "protector" for the battery plate so as to make it a little grippier. I had one for my iphone 3g, which helped immensely. Anyone know of one that might fit the battery plate?

Agreed! The screen protector they gave me sucks. For iphones they have screen protectors that cover the entire front of the device, right? That's more what I had in mind.
Something similar for the rear isn't a bad idea.
I use the T-Mobile gel case and a Realook screen protector. Although I rarely ever drop my phones, the gel case gives me peace of mind. Unfortunately, it does take away from the phone's aesthetic values.

Yeah, peace of mind is why I bought it. It also feels clunky and bulky in the hand with the case on. Yuck.
The only protection I would consider for my phone is maybe a thin screen protector, or maybe a Golden Shellback coating to make it waterproof.
no case because it makes the phone too bulky. i do use a realook screen protector though, cant even tell its on there.
I've got the white hardshell with the thin rubber sleeve case on mine. It came with a screen protector that I've managed to scratch the heck out of somehow. It's a nice case and doesn't add much bulk to the phone. Generally I like to use the phone without a case but from past experience with rubber coating on plastic (Blackberry Bold) rubbing off, I opted for a case.

Built neoprene case
I just got one of the Built neoprene sleeves. I really dislike the always-on cases for phones, but this is perfect. I put a review up on the amazon page, but can't link to it since I haven't posted enough.
Of course we need one of these threads.
I'm going to go buy a full body BodyGuardz this weekend and i'll report back with pictures, and a review. I've had a lot of bodyguardz for various phones, and they cover the best. They have the orange peel and sticky feel on the screen, but not nearly as bad as i've seen on Zagg. I've never once been satisfied with zagg.
I've tried Stealth Guards on my iphone and desire Z, and the screen protector is a good texture, feels smooth, no resistance. But they don't cover enough of the body.
Never owned BSE
I've had a Skinomi, and they have the same texture as the Stealth guards, but they seem to be very vulnerable to peeling. Also not enough body cover. (might as well buy the stealth guards, they're cheaper)
Anyone got any yet?
I just Installed Skinomi full body. I've had no issues so far and I like the results. I followed the direction to the T, but added the extra step of applying the protectors in a steam up bathroom. Helps minimize dust, and the stream aids in installation).

After work I will post some pictures, I have the product pictures on me right now. Another thing is the product states that once applied to at least allow 12-24? hours to use. I am using it less than that, probably a bad move on my part. So far no problems, we'll see by the end of today.

Skinomi full body.
thanks for the pics! the screen protector looks awesome. the full body could be a bit larger. the back looks funny haha. but i really like that screen protector, i've always liked skinomis compared to other brands.
Thanks. Ya I could do it again but pull'em tighter. But I am very satisfied. I was surprised by how the body peices held up, I figured they would peel off in my pocket, but no problems. The only con's I can think of is there are some thin exposed parts of the phone, imprint of object or finger nail leaves dimples but fade smoothly; slowly. If applied correctly it will last.

I'm going to go get my bodyguardz now. Ill post up pics when I get it on
the bodyguardz kioske in the mall didn't have them in stock yet -_-. gotta order them online.. damnit
i got a invisible shield from best buy because i was impatient and didn't want to wait for shipping. they don't have the full body, so i got the screen protector.
i just finishd putting it on, the texture is different than previous zaggs i've used. also there are a bunch of horizontal lines evenly spaced (they were there before i put it on, not scratches) which you can see at certain angles. and they also have a little zagg logo on the bottom right of the screen protector.. that's new.. and annoying. it's hard to see, but since i know it's there. i don't like it -_-
i'll take some pictures when i can, but overall it's the same resistant non smooth that i dislike about zaggs.

Strange, I just installed a Zagg Invisishield, No pesky logo or anything. It feels pretty good... Maybe its just my greasy fingers
Along with my Pop case!
hmm, there isn't a little black "zagg" stamp on the bottom right in between the search button and the bottom of the screen against the edge?

you got the same thing as me then, it seems this is a new design or something. looks terrible.
I called Zagg and they told me that they dont stamp ZAGG on the shields...BS...something is weird...im taking mine back...i hope they take it back at best buy...plus i noticed the picture on the box shows the screen protector going all the way to the top with a hole around the ear piece and camera...the one i got has a big cut out at the top around the camera all the way to the earpiece speaker..

I bought the ballistic BC case and I love it. Except for the screen protector. It got scratched and really blurry and it really ruined the amazing quality of the infuses screen. So I applied a regular screen protector (pack of three from Walmart for 10 bucks) and popped out the built in case protector easily by pushing on the edges and then put the case back on and now I must say that I am back to liking the case. And I am most likley going to dremel off the little Red bar behind the camera because it gives my pictures a red tint to it. I was skeptical at first but now its all good.
(Edit)Does anyone else get this when they take a picture with flash?

so why do you even want a screen protector? The glass is scratch resistant and off course the screen looks so much better without it.

Because scratch resistant doesn't mean it will never get scratched. Even with just light use there are ever so slight scratch marks near the top of my phone.
I have no scratches on my screen. Even after taking a key to it lol. Anyways what i came in here for was to say i had the ballistic case and the proximity sensor part was messing with my phone. Took it back and got a refund. Gonna go back to the otterbox just because of the quality and the ease of using the buttons

I have the same case and I removed the built in protector not long after getting it. It just takes away from the beauty of the screen.
Are there any good ones that don't take away from the luxury of the nice screen?
I have that same case.. I love the belt clip holder. And no. I don't have that problem. And I take a good amount of pictures. I hope that dremel fixes your problems.
And as you said.. those Walmart screen protectors worked fine? There's not any give on the front part that clips in? It seems like there would be more than usual because it is a lot thinner of a protector? (for everyone that doesn't have one it's a fairly sheet thick of pllastic)
And if you are coming here thinking of getting one, I will share my experiences with you. The case is made up of a hard plastic that is a .... well let's just say it's really hard to take off. Not impossible but especially that first time. This makes battery pulls harder. Sometimes you can get around it by killing the phone by holding the power for 6 or so seconds and then hitting the volume keys at the right time but it doesn't always work. The outer layer that comes on the case is nice and bulky. If you think that you will be sticking it in your pocket with this layer you got another thing coming. It's a very sticky plastic which makes it very hard to pull out of a pocket. It works very well with the case holder though. A rather obnoxious thing is there is slits around the base layer that the case slides into. The top two and the bottom two tend to come undone very easily. They always seem to slide out which is annoying. It's doesn't exactly make it feel like the case is going to come off but annoying. The only way that you can keep it in your pocket is if you don't have that layer on which decreases the protection. It feels VERY solid when you have the extra layer on and rather secure when you don't. It's also a little rough on the hands around the edges so if you have soft girly hands then you might want to looks else wards towards a pretty smooth case. But if you are a man and work in something tough or just aren't sure where you will drop it, this is the case for you. (Have never used otterbox..). But that is NOT to say that this case is by any means perfect. I had this problem where it felt like the vibration inside the case was going to rattle the phone to pieces.. that was kind of unnerving but I got used to it after a while. Then when on vacation I hopped onto a hotel bed, my right hip landing on the bed and the hip belt holder BROKE! I wasn't very happy because I was busy and couldn't go to ATT but it would no longer hold my phone. After all these problems I took it back to ATT where they quickly traded out the case for a new one.. I had my receipt of course.. I THINK they used it? Not positive. I have had this new case for 2 or so month have jumped onto my own bed and haven't broken it. It's also worth mentioning that at ATT they mentioned something about a one-time exchange policy. one coworker to another which means I can't break it again within my one year time frame. D: This is a bummer because I went through 3 ipod touches in one year. Let's say I realized just how much water was in my life... And finally if you are still reading this thanks, I didn't mean to make it so lengthy. In conclusion, it's a good case, pricy but protects it well. It's dropped a few times and I haven't really thought twice, because it's "designed to survive life".. just don't jump on a hotel bed.
