Wow. You have the best keyboard ever sold on a cell phone and you still can't use proper English. C'mon. It doesn't make you look cool, it just makes you hard to understand.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I got tired of scraping up my cell phones, so when I bought my sidekick I decided to dedicate a pocket to it. Before my phones would have to rattle around with my keys and a screwdriver and stuff. It's been a month and a half since I got the Sidekick and it still looks like new.

I have tried screen protectors on the Droid1, Droid2, and the Samsung Intercept.
I have removed them every time, as fumbling around and missing swipes, scrolls and tapping things multiple times like an iPhone "user" is not efficient enough for me.
I use belt clips (face-in style) and don't throw these devices in my pocket so I have never scratched one yet.
I have never bothered with a protector on this Sidekick because of all the issues I had with the other phones and their use.
Insurance: 2 years for $99 @ Trade Square sounds pretty good compared to T-Mobile's plan (although TS does not cover lost/stolen, but I have NEVER lost a phone, nor had one stolen). Making the switch soon...
Although $180 for a used one sounds good: http://www.ebay.com/ctg/Samsung-SGH...tegid=9355&_pcatid=801&_refkw=new+sidekick+4g

I've never used a screen protector myself, just a slipcover (from my original G1) on every phone I've had. Never had a problem.
I got my SK from eBay for $217 + $15 S&H myself - a smokin deal, still with box and everything.

Any G2 accessories at local Tmo stores?

Looking for some kind of OEM case, Zagg shields, etc. If I got my handset yesterday, surely the stores are building inventory by now - especially for high-margin chinese accessories...
Anyone find G2-specific stuff at their local Tmo shop yet?

I'm not sure but try daydeal.com I know the case I bought from there was a t-mobile accessory but a lot cheaper then t-mobile charges
My local store didn't have any out yet. I know youtube has two videos of a guy showing what cases will be available on launch day. 2 blue or purple hard cases and one clear case with a kick stand.
I was able to find a local t-mobile in Pembroke Pines, FL that had pretty much everything (t-mobile branded, including the BodyGlove case, anti-smudge screen protectors, etc) in stock.
The first store I tried (Hollywood FL) had squat, Radio Shack had no clue when they would be getting the phone (despite supposed availability tomorrow Oct 3 and the huge G2 sign in the store.)
So it's hit or miss, probably comes down to employees being unaware of the box in the back of the store. Maybe best to ask for a manager if you need a quick fix.

My local store in Huntsville, AL has a pretty good selection of accessories, including a hard case with a removable belt clip that doubles as a kickstand, and screen protectors with anti-smear. They are having a sale where you can get 20% off if you buy 2 accessories or 30% off each if you buy 3 accessories. That's basically enough to cancel out the ridiculously high prices, but I am a fan of instant gratification.
After using the phone for a while in the "black gel" oem case though, it really doesn't feel as good in your hand as it does with just the naked phone. My G2 will be going naked pretty often, I think.
Ok so all my T-Mobile store is selling is 1 Black gel skin, 1 Purple rubbery like gel skin(alot harder than the gel but still flexable), Black Body Glove and Screen Protectors. I have noiced that the Body Glove makes it hard to hit the top row of keys on the G2 so thats why im using just a screen protector and my old G1 sleeve =)
We have about 7 different cases at my store plus the screen protectors. I will take a picture of each tomorrow and post them for you guys.
2 Body glove cases (one skin like weird material and one normal body glove with changeable clip.
Blue and black combo
Purple and black combo
Clear (with kickstand)
Black gel skin
I think there was another but when I was receiving them there was just so much stuff I tried most of em. The best was the body glove skin like one.
my local store had the screen protectors on Friday and they had JUST come in and they hadn't even had time to put them out yet. i had to ask for them and they were behind the desk.
i didnt bother looking to buy anything else since I know the prices are outrageous. I refuse to pay $30 for a car charger I can get online for $6 shipped.
I picked up a case and a couple of micro-usb cables today. They had screen protectors, a couple of different cases, a crappy car/wall charger and micro-usb cables.
The screen protectors that they used to sell for the G1 were crap, not nearly as good as the thing that came with the phone. I suspect the G2 is the same, so I trimmed the little tab and a little off of the bottom of the one that was on the phone and left it on. I suspect it'll work fine for quite a while. Especially now that I have a case. The case seems to be much slimmer and better fitting that the covers for the G1s.
Actully the screen protectors are rather awesome. Make swype super easy. Not even close to they crappy ones for the G1 / mytouch lol. Ill admit those were pretty bad haha I would have kept the stock one but it fell off the first time I put it in my pocket =(

Recommend me some good screen protectors

I still have the original plastic film on the screen from when I bought the phone but it's starting to peel off on one edge. Can anyone recommend me some good screen protectors? I would prefer it they do not smear and don't distort the screen in any way (colors or clarity). Thanks for any help! Loving this phone.
I'm in the same position. I went to ebay and purchased this extreme guard for $3.99 with free shipping.
It was sold when I found out the material is for protecting exotic car paint jobs...

http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
You know, the one from tmobile isn't that bad. I was skeptical at first, but its easy to put on and I am actually satisfied. I took it off once to reposition and then peeled various parts back to get dust off of the screen and its stuck like it was brand new.

Yeah I'm trying to find a good sp before I get my G2 also. There's a few threads here already and the Vikuiti sp has good reviews but I'm waiting to see if someone can tell me if it's better than the Realook sp. I had the Realook one for the Vibrant and it was great, couldn't even tell it was on (aside from the ocassional fingerprints).
i Have the ones from T-Mobile, a little high in price at $14.99 but if u mess up you do get 2. You also get a screen cleaning cloth. If you like to use Swype then ull love this SP! it makes it super easy 2 swype. Fingers never get stuck to it and its a much better SP than the ones for the Mytouch / G1. iF u can find a friend whos buying a G2 u guys can go half on the pack at that point its 8 bucks a pop. Not bad.

You guys should really try the ZAGG i posted, it's the best screen protector you can buy in my opinion:
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
I'd like to find one that isn't "rubbery" at all. The one that came with my wife's MT3G isn't "scratch proof" like the rubbery ones, but it's nice and smooth and doesn't give the "orange peel" texture and distortion to the screen. I really don't mind if the SP get's scratched, I can always replace it! I just want an experience that is as close to no SP as possible.

If you both need OEM cases, then there is a deal at T-Mobile stores where if you buy 3 accessories, you get everything for 30% off. It would make the screen protectors about $10 (and the cases between $17-20-ish).
I don't mean to be a troll, but why do people need cases or screen protectors? You can try to scratch the screen with a razor and have no luck. I've never used a case or a screen protector, and all of my past phones still look new other than some slight paint rub off and one has a tiny dent on the corner from dropping it 8ft. All glass is 100% scratch free, even after many drops. What are you people doing with your phones???
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I think I could keep my screen scratch-free, but to be honest I just simply don't want to risk it. With every phone I've purchased, I've thought I could keep from dropping it, but shtuff happens. A scratched screen is highly annoying. I'd rather have a screen protector and never have to worry about it.
I have a bad habit of dropping my phone, usually on hard, unforgiving concrete. The last thing I want is to damage or scratch up my case--especially during the 14-day buyer's remorse period.
I've used martin fiekd overlays and its pretty awesome.

I dont know about you, but when i sell my phones, it usually helps when the screen looks next to new. Tiny scratches develop over time whether you like it or not, so a SP is good to use. Plus, i dont know who fed you the information about glass being 100% scratch free because it is not.

I was saying my glass on my used phones are 100% scratch free. I have sold many phones on eBay after using them for 2 years. Their screen all looked "next to new" despite never using a SP.
They seem like a good idea for a female that drops her phone in to an over filled purse, but my phone is always alone in a pants pocket or sitting on a table/shelf/etc. I have dropped my phones multiple times, but thankfully none of them have ever got a scratch from it.
The best SP I have found to date is the one from T-Mobile. It's anti-smudge, cuts down on glare and has a great feel to it. I paid $15 for 2 of them.

Does it have a glass feel to it? I ordered one from a good business and it feels very much like glass I just don't like the way it fits on my g2. The corners looks as if they're going to peel off.

Screen Shields recommendation needed!

Hey, as you can see over HERE, I was having annoying issues with my Nexus one´s touch, and if you read the last post, you will be able to read it was caused by some ****ty shields I bought (I think )...
Can you please recommend my some high quality shields which can be bought on a online store or ebay-amazon?
Can you please guide me to an exact link?
thanks!
I am using xoskins and the quality is fantastic I had bought is when I got my phone and Its still protecting my phone ever since.

Forget what anyone tells you. You want the screen protectors available on eBay from the seller dcmugen88. I have no affiliation with the guy, but his product is ridiculously high quality, perfect fit, AND he sells a 4-5 pack for $2-3! I've bought from him three times now... twice for my N1 (the protectors last a few months at a time easy, but I wanted extras) and once for my GF's G2.
It's a static screen protector with a mild adhesive, and no wet install.... just peel and stick following the directions.
Here's the link to his eBay page and store... he's in Hong Kong though, so b/c of the Chinese New Year, he's not selling anything for another week or so.

This is the truth, i get all my screen from this guy for years now. I used the anti glare version and its bloody marvelous, dcmugen is the king of internet screen protectors, thank god too cause all his **** is like 5 dollars for a pack of 8 lol
I have used bestskinsever.com which is similar to InvisiShield. After a year or so it started to peel and get gunk it in the corners. It add's a nice grip however.

I'm not sure what's happening to dcmugen; they don't have anything for sell now. They seem to suffer some quality issue as well.
I've bought from them for 4 different phones, 3 of them were perfect cut (Omnia 2, htc Magic & Nexus One), but the last one (Desire Z) was just terrible. The screen protector size is "a lot" smaller than the screen, approx 3~4mm shorter and 1mm narrower. Then I read his feedbacks and found other people having similar issues.
Not sure if they are trying to cut corners or what. Hopefully they'll come back with better products.
In the meanwhile, can anyone recommend an alternative to dcmugen? Thanks.
Just fyi, dcmugen never sells thing this time of year..he takes a couple weeks off for Chinese new year. Wish I could recommend something else, but if you have a nexus one, this is the best there is IMO.

Phantom Skinz - Full Body Coverage

Well here it is ladies and gents, full body coverage for the HTC Sensation!
http://phantomskinz.com/htcsensation4g.aspx
I just got my device fully wrapped by Phantom Skinz with the clear film, they are a locally based company so I just took it into them. They also have a matte film available for the Sensation, as well as their really awesome Chromatics (literally looks like custom car paint).
First off, the guy at Phantom Skinz said it was really difficult to apply the full body coverage and anyone that has installed these types of films before, already knows that the install process is not that easy anyway. But, if a guy that installs these films on an almost daily basis says it was hard then that is definitely something to remember.
Now it wasn't the film for the screen that was difficult to install, but rather the film for the back of the phone. He said the film for the screen was actually easy, which I questioned because of the curved glass.
Also note, if you are not comfortable trying to apply the full body coverage yourself, you can actually send the phone in to Phantom Skinz and they will install it for you. I know it's not the most ideal solution, no one wants to be away from their Sensation for a week, but at least it is an option.
Anyway, the end result looks awesome and I really recommend looking into the Chromatics if your not really into the 3 tone color scheme going on with the back cover. The Phantom Skinz guy also said the install for the Chromatics is actually easier because it is more like applying a sticker versus the liquid based install of a clear film.
Beautiful! I'm guessing yours is the "Full Body Coverage" since it's so glossy...I want to see how the Matte one looks
I really like the feel of the soft painted back, so I don't think I'll be getting a case for my phone this time. Maybe a screen protector, if I can find one I can easily (and quickly, the less time it spends exposed to the dusty, pet hairy environment of my apartment, the better) apply.
I'm going to wait until stealth comes out with their full body. They usually have free ones and all you pay is shipping, I had two for my myTouch when it first came out

I like Phantomskinz but I'm not digging how glossy that looks.
thanks this is the skin I prefer, and glad its still 10 bucks for 2 screen protectors that are really good quality.
Only hesitancy is my S4G is being exchanged for dust under screen. A while ago my HD2 was warranty replaced. If only we could pull the phantomskinz off the screen and remount them on the replacement HTC.

I actually did just that with an ipod nano a couple years ago. I first had it replaced under warranty, then I couldn't get the film on the new nano how I wanted it , so I re-applied it several times. I just pulled the film off slowly and soaked it in a slightly warmer cup of water than the instructions say to do (not really sure if the higher temp helped) and it re-applied just as if it was brand new.
Tempted to buy this. But over $4 shipping to the UK puts me off... even with the 25% discount...

Phantom Skinz make a good product. They don't have as much orange peel as the Zagg's and they provide great protection. I've used them on a couple phones in the past.

Used this on my galaxy S, eventually (3-6months) the skin starts to allow dust in the edges of the skin causing the edges to catch on things like fingers.. until removed completely.
I would usually go with Phantom Skinz since I have gone this route with many of my devices, the G2, MT4G, G2x, Asus TF. It worked very well for both the clear skin and the chromatics. I decided to go with Ghost Armor this time, only because of where I am staying now, there is a booth inside mall, so I noticed it and since I had the cheap T-Mobile SP that doesn't cover the entire screen, I took a stab at it. They just cut out a templet, and then put it on the screen for now, until the actual product that should be coming in, in a few days. I paid $35 for the full body kit and they will install it. They put a temp SP on there that they manually cut, then had it sit in one of those dryers I guess that's inside a plexiglass. They told me to come back in a few days when they will have the body kit in stock and they will install it over again.

I hope they don't charge you the $10 install fee again...
I had GA on my G1 back in the day and it was just awful. It never stayed on and I had to get it re-installed 5 or 6 times. I don't know how I got suckered into paying the $10 install so many times (they didn't charge me the 1st time and only charged me $5 the 2nd). Each time I brought it back they always said, oh we have revised the film to make it better.
After that I never went back to Ghost Armor...

Yea I didn't care because I would usually do it myself, but I'm not home for 6 months, went to MA for an internship, and where I'm staying was the mall with GA in there. So I gave it a shot since I don't have my usual stuff for putting on the body covers. I will see how it is when they install it. I had bought the SP from TMO again since its in the mall, but after seeing GA I returned the SP from TMO and they were nice to give me a referral for 10% off GA

LG G2 is very fragile!!!!

If your thinking of getting this phone get a case as soon add possible! That happened after my father dropped hood phone once. Now the bottom part of the screen where the on screen buttons are does not work. So he just went back to his GS3. I have not found any tutorials on how to replace the screen and digitizer or if just the digitizer.

I did the same. Dropped my G2 going into Future shop to buy a case for it. Chipped the top left corner (can barely see it!) and now the top portion of the screen doesn't work... Now I have to get the screen and digitizer replaced...not cheap.

I did the same. Dropped my G2 going into Future shop to buy a case for it. Chipped the top left corner (can barely see it!) and now the top portion of the screen doesn't work... Now I have to get the screen and digitizer replaced...not cheap.

Y'all are some brave people to not put a case on such a great phone from the beginning lol
Thats what you get for buying LG. The companys products are notoriously ****ty and unreliable junk. Tvs, phones, cameras, everything. I been burnt so much. Not buying their piece of **** products again
Ooops too expensive for that bad thing...:silly:
Picked up mine from best buy for free yesterday. Was supposed to be $99 but rang up free. Gotta love teenagers in the work force!

I've smashed mine twice since november, today being the second time. 1st time it was in its flip cover case. This time, I took out of its case to lie in bed with it (cover gets in the way when you're on your back), went to the bathroom, fell out of my hands, 2 feet drop. Smashed again.
I have the Flip Cover, Otter Box Defender, now ordered the Incipio Leather Folio 2 in 1 and the Incipio Dual.
Figured if I had options I'd keep a good case on it constantly. Lucky I have insurance for it, 120$ deductable. I've reached my 2 claim max for the year though...
Most ...Fragile phone...ever...
I'm still getting a G2. Samsung uses versions of LED screens which have some chance of burn in, ghost images.
LG g2 is LCD. Yes there's a chance of dead pixel but I would rather take my chance with that instead.
Besides, LCD is easier to see on sunlight.
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.

I dont use a case for my LG 4X HD. I have dropped it many times, no cracks. It depends on the build quality, weight, the way it fell and so on.
I find cases ugly and unnecessary.

Thats not entirely true. Unless you wont change your phone in 2 years, the chance of getting burn ins is low. Be careful with LG,they have a tendency to drop phone support ASAP.
My fathers G2 was put in a spigein slimarmor case before the sales rep even set it up. Last month his digitizer was going wokners, had a slight nick in the case that pressed stuff together. Took it to the sprint store, and the reps replaced the front of screen on the spot without even having to do a warranty claim.that LG glass is super thin, too thin in my opinion which is also the reason I will never buy the flex
i dropped my g2 more than 3 times luckily no damage. i dont have any cases.

I know, I've heard it's not too bad. My friend also has it and he said he has dropped it multiple times and nothing has happened to it.
It probably can depend of supplier and party . My friend bought first G2 and had many problems with it, so he returned it to the shop and got the replacement.... but the second one was not good too. Screen just cracked after about a week of use -__- But I know many people with really good experience with this device, so it really depend of how lucky you are )

If your thinking of getting this phone get a case as soon add possible! That happened after my father dropped hood phone once. Now the bottom part of the screen where the on screen buttons are does not work. So he just went back to his GS3. I have not found any tutorials on how to replace the screen and digitizer or if just the digitizer.
