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

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 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.

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?

Lol, I think that you've hit the nail on the head - it sure is a sexy bit of kit
use a case, maybe it helps... I'm living in a all year summer country but don't have any sweat to my phone
I think that the satin black finish on mine seems to accentuate even the slightest fingerprint, but it does look nice!
Never faced the sweat issue although I'm in India. Felt it very slippery when using with one hand. Bought a Casemate barely there case and it is now very nice to hold in one hand.

Htc desire design
I must say I like the looks of this phone very much, but after having dropped it (fortunately on soft surfaces) a couple of times, I decided to sacrifice beauty for safety and got a hard case called "casemate". Believe me it's definetly worth. It is reasonably thin, covers the corners and has a rubbery texture that gives good grip.
on the downside, of course you wan't be seeing the sexy logo on the back anymore...
Doesn't it degrade your wifi and phone signal? I have a casemate
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
I definetly is better than holding the phone by it's metal parts. I've tried, with relative success (maybe it's just my impression) using reverse landscape (capacitive keys to the left), like this I can hold the phone without toucing any metal parts. Check it out and see if it works for you.

That's pretty ok. In singapore, after playing a gameloft game, my screen and the whole phone gets covered in dried sweat.

I don't think that will fix the problem. Your replacement will most likely get the same results
It wont solve the issue. I went thru 7 G2s all with dust under the screen. Im telling you you will get use to it. HTC qc sucks ass.
Sent from my Senseless Doubleshot using xda premium
I was thinking about doing it until the limited warranty ends
I've heard of people complaining about this "issue" a lot now, but I've never experienced it. I've had an HTC DREAM (ADP1), HTC VISION, and now my GF has an HTC DOUBLESHOT. There has never been an issue with dust under the screen. I would suggest that it may, therefore, be related to EXPOSURE to dust. Possibly related to how you protect the phone. Do you keep your phone in a clean pouch? Or do you drop it in your pocket along with whatever other cruft you may be walking around with? Do you work in a particularly dusty environment?
In any case, the issue would be that the digitizer sits above the LCD. The only place where dust could conceivably get to that would be visible as "under the screen" is between the digitizer and the LCD. You should be able to disassemble the phone and wipe it out (after warranty expires). Until then, use warranty, and then protect the phone from dust.
I've never had issues with dust under my screen, but then again I've always kept my phones in a G1 pouch
http://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-HTC-Google-Phone-Pocket/dp/B001OOEQJ2
The only time I've had an issue was when I took apart my MyTouch 3G slide and touched underneath the screen and got prints all over it and put it back together without realizing it, so that was entirely my fault..
No dust for me. Have my phone on me 24/7 in an extremely dusty environment. I am a powder coater
I am usually covered head to toe, with powdercoat and metal dust. Kept loose in my pocket and I use it 3-4times an hour to check the time.

Never had any dust in mine either, but I pouch mine like RazoE and take absurdly good care of it. Used to have a G1 that I bought used and it never had any dust either.
The earpiece on this phone is kinda big; perhaps dust is making its way in from there?

Upon further inspection, it seems this might actually be the port of entry; see attached photo.
The glowing blueish area in the red rectangle is the LCD, pretty much open to whatever can make its way in, i.e. dust. There is another opening similar to this further down the track between the screen and keyboard and you can see it pretty well if the screen is lit up.

Bad luck
You know, last summer I was able to get back to life my HD2 after it spent a night out under the rain in Thailand!
When I came back home 2 weeks later, I gave it to a technician (a brilliant one, I need to say!), a colleague of mine.
He put it in a glass of alcohol overnight, then he cleaned everything, then he reset the MICROP (whatever this thing could mean ), and I had had my HD2 back the next evening
Thread closed....
...and lands without a scratch!
My gf dropped my phone tonight while taking a picture at dinner. Phone fell from about 1.2m, hit her leg on the way down and hit the hard tile floor screen side down with quite a bit of force.
Phone was naked and is still in perfect condition!
Whew! and Woohoo!!!

Well, mine was in the breast pocket of my suit the other day when I was shot. It took the bullet but the force still threw me backwards into a busy road where I was run over by a bus...not a scratch on me or the phone. No, wait a minute, none of that happened ; )
I will say that the screen is far less scratch resistant than my old HD2 which didn't need a screen protector, whereas this one definitely does. Corning's gorilla (Gerald) obviously had a bad day when he made the glass for my phone.
