Does anyone have information on their interchangeability? Just in case someone cracks their display and is seeking replacement options. It just also seems like the samoled screens are hard to come by as if they're constantly in a shortage.
The i9020 has the Super Amoled and the i9023 has the Super Clear LCD
I don't believe so, because I'm looking to do the exact same thing on my nexus one. I hoped it was like plug and play to swap in the slcd into my amoled nexus one. So far it doesn't seem to be possible.
Not sure if the nexus s is somehow different.
I think I've read somewhere that i9023 is 1mm thicker, which might indicate the screen is also thicker, so may not fit.

Could it be that post on engadget.com? If so, it's about the Nexus S 4g on sprint.
Good point, I guess since the slcd is a different part than the samoled, then the dimensions would also be different.
I think it's this one.
I Have noticed form coming from a iPhone 3GS I noticed even at full brightness I can barley see the screen in the light and i never have it on full brightness to save battery So what im asking is are there any screen Protectors out there that anyone could suggest that would help me to see the screen better on sunny days
Well I've had multiple screen protectors, and none of them have even come close to being as good as the one i got from Vikuiti. I was told that Martin Fields (too grippy) made a high quality screen protector, but I was not impressed and found this one for my HD2 after rave reviews on the HD2 forum.
This screen protector is so good I have taken my old HD2 one and cut it down for the Desire Z until I get my specific Desire Z one. I have re-stuck it a few times, and it looks good as new, I hate it when you can tell the screen protector is on, but you cant with this.
The below link it not to the exact model I had on my HD2 (there is one called ADQC and one called DQC, I have the DQC at present, but might get the ADQC listed below because it suggests its more anti-glare)

I currently use an anti-glare screen protector that came free with my dcmugen case.
It is better than the glossy screen protector I had before. Plus, it doesn't attract fingerprints which sometimes obscures vision.

I will also vouch for the Vikuiti ADQC model. My order was shipped on June third and I received it today- June ninth.
As for the screen protector itself, I am extremely satisfied with it. This protector allows me to view the G2's screen as it is supposed to be seen: as though there is nothing on the screen at all. Side to side is nearly a perfect fit and top to bottom there is maybe a mm of space uncovered below the soft buttons (home, menu ...) At a glance, the only giveaway that there is a screen protector on the phone is the cutout for the light and proximity sensors.
They aren't cheap but I believe they are worth the cost.

I just noticed your post. Sorry it's taken me months to reply, although it has given me a MUCH larger sample size to form my opinion from. The screen protector is still great! It is really tough. Admittedly, I baby my phone a bit. That said, I finally got a scratch on the first screen protector (I ordered 3) about 2 Weeks ago. Other than that it is almost exactly as it was the first day I applied it. I've been meaning to apply the second one but don't need to. I would say it is definitely worth the extra cost as in the time I've had this one on I had gone through at least five other brands including the t mobile one & some I got from Amazon.

WHAT SCREEN PROTECTOR TYPE IS BEST?
CLICK HERE FOR MY CONCLUSION
(or go to post #14)
====================================
(original post below)
Please share your experience with "antiglare" screen protectors if you have or had used one and help me make my mind?
I have a cheap standard/glossy $1 screen protector for now, but since our phones have screens basically unreadable in the sun I think the kind of s.p. matters more than in other phones case
I had one of the first "mirror" screen protectors few years back, and it was horrible. It made the screen appear slightly distorted. Has this been improved by now?
I used the antiglare type of screen protectors on my evo and evo shift and i loved them and refuse to use any other kind, but they have their drawbacks. Number 1 is it washes the screen out just slightly so its not as crisp and colors are a bit more dull. 2 it feels werid and its hard to explain how they feel its like your finger slides really easy because its a really slick surface, but the surface also feels rough. Like i said i loved them and i might see about getting one for my doubleshot.
*edit*
Also just remembered that the anti glare screen protectors aren't as prone to fingerprints on the screen which is a major gain

I already have hard time seeing my screen outdoors and can't see it at all in the sunlight, so I guess antiglare s.p. isn't for me... Too bad I already ordered it on ebay If you still want it I can send it to you once it arrives here (should be next week - and sending from Canada to US outta be way faster than ordering it from China to USA) just PM me

Well when I said it washes the screen out some its because its blocking glare, I'm telling you hands down they are the best ones I have ever seen, if you get it in and its not for you ill take it off your hands, but once you actually see it I think you will love it

I'm sure you can't, who cares if the colors wash out a bit, when you can use the phone in direct sunlight, and its less prone to finger smudges lol

Ditto to just about everything you said. I personally use the antiglare just for the sole purpose of not having to constantly wipe fingerprints with my shirttail.
It for sure a strange texture to the touch at 1st but actually is smoother and more precise than the glossy kind.
Yes, it does dim the display and make it a bit less vibrant, but I turn up the brightness a tad and it is fine.
All in all, I personally prefer the antiglare just for the fingerprint resistance. Enjoy yours when you get 'em!
Well, the antiglare screen protector arrived today already, and I am actually pissed and I love it too
I haven't test it yet in the sun because I just got home, but I love the texture of it, the matte look, and I can tell it really is anti-glare since it has dispersed even my camera's flash light when I took the photo below
I am pissed because before I order it I emailed the seller to make sure they do have MyTouch 4G Slide screen protectors, yet they have sent me some other one (I'm guessing it might be for MT4G and not the "Slide" version, but I'm not sure). It is too short and has different cam/sensors cut-outs at the top.
I foolishy trusted it is the correct one when it arrived and I had already ripped-off my "clear" one, so I had to install it for now. Which makes me double-pissed
To make things worse my order is labeled "SPAG-HTC-MYT4G-SL" - IMO it means "ScreenProtectorAntiGlare-HTC-MYTouch4G-SLide" - yet it is wrong one they've shipped, gee

Tried to get a good look at my wife's MT4G (non-slide) and it is hard to tell with some ugly decal thing she has on it, BUT I will say, if you lined it up at the bottom correctly, it looks way too short. It probably is for the MT4G. I am pretty sure, because when I use her protectors as an emergency, I have to trim them all the way around to fit my MT4GS. Apparently the slide is a bit smaller than the non.
How many came in your order? I have to order like 12 at a time because I always screw up about 4 of them before I get one on with no dust dots under it

I order only set of 2 (just to try - never had anti-glares before), but I think this seller has packs of 10 as well (same price tho).
If you want I can take more pics to show you, but yeah I have aligned it at the bottom perfectly, so that's exactly how it comes out on top.
Mind you: this *is* Slide what I have, and the screen protector is slightly narrower (about 1mm on each side) and too short by about 4mm (not to mention the "cut-outs" are wrong) so if this screen protector is for the "non-Slide" MT4G version then the "non-slide" has to be smaller than "slide", not the other way around.
Quality is very good because same as you I usually get the "bubble" somewhere and waste at least 1 protector before it is perfect, but this one seems thicker than the "glare one" and it attached itself almost perfectly right away, I only had to push it tighter at one corner. The cuts are well made, not sharp edges like it was in some other screen protectors but feels kinda polished. Actually I should say the quality is excellent, reminds me of the first Mitsubishi s.p. for laptop screen I bought years ago in Japan. If only it was the right size...
here is the website if you want wholesale quantity (I don't know does 1 dozen qualifies but you can try):

Sure thing!
in the future "anti-glare" are the only ones I'll ever buy... you and strapped365 were absolutely correct, thx!
edit:
==============================
MY CONCLUSION
(after a week+ with this screen protector)
With standard "shiny" s.p. (or without any s.p.) you can NOT see the screen outdoors in the sun.
Here is a picture of my MT4GS' screen with "antiglare" s.p. in very bright sun:
Until I have received this anti-glare s.p. I was skeptical (read the thread if you're curious) but once I have use it I love it so much that in the future I will never buy any other type of s.p.!
The screen is now not only readable in the direct sunlight, but exactly as guys above said so:
due to it's texture it is somewhat smudge-hiding
(edit: NO it is not really "smudgeless", if you look at certain angle and light you will see the finger smudges, but even then they're not as bad as on any other type of s.p.)
The only drawback are the colors: at first (when you apply this s.p.) it feels dull and washed a bit - not much, but you can see the difference. However, after very short time I get used to it and feels normal now.
Anyone looking for s.p. replacement should go with an antiglare type.
The benefits (ability to see screen under any conditions and it's "smudge-concealment") greatly outweight the cons (somewhat less-vibrant colors)

They weren't as of about 3 months ago. Suuuuuuuucked. Might as well be putting car window tinting on it.
Hmm... so does anyone have a suggestion for a nice anti-glare screen protector that will fit the phone nicely?
I just got the cheapest matte 6 pack or whatever on eBay from "Top Sellers" in N America.

Completely agree with the conclusion. Got 3 from Amazon for about $2.49 at the time.
http://www.amazon.com/EMPIRE-Anti-G...=mytouch+4g+slide+anti-glare+screen+protector
Random brand called "Empire". Despite the one review. IT's a solid screen protector. Technically all Anti-Glare's have a "matte" kind of feel to it. The feeling and the look of the screen would probably be the most attractive part of Anti-Glares. However yes there is the sacrifice of losing slight visual quality.
Thanks, I'll give those Empire anti-glares a shot
Edit: nvm, shipping to Canada is STEEP on those guys. I'll keep a lookout for other anti-glares. Thanks for the suggestion, though

Very solid and heavy feeling. Not cheap at all.
Came from s7 edge which really good build quality wise. But this feels even better... Eavy, sturdy, good quality overall. I feel that if I drop it it will survive well..
Definitely an upgrade from the S8 Plus.

The quality of S9 plus is good. It feels premium.
My S9+ feels great as well, except the fact that the metal frame is a bit edgy when I glide my finger to the end of the glass. Doesn't have that feel like the S8 where the glass and the metal frame feel as one.
Definitely notice improvement in the build quality, hard to explain but feels more solid. Also speed wise I notice it is snappier as well. Upgrade from s8 to s9+ worth it to me, especially since I got full trade back value for what I paid for s8!
I used my Oneplus 5T for 5 months without any case or protector and there was no any single mark on the screen.
Now I have a Galaxy S9+ and after 1 day use there is a deep scratch on the screen.
The phone is bloody expensive, but the quality is even worse year by year.
I hope that I can sell it quickly.
It doesn't worth a fkn penny.
"Great build quality". Would have been greater if ceramic was used.

Unfortunately, I know exactly what you mean... My brother just got the s9+ and he used it only for two days and then basically just handed it to me for free lol... I haven't gotten around to using it much but my brother told me that he hated it. Why? Well apparently, he experienced something rather similar... After only two days of usage he managed to scratch the display with regular use. Only two days... Brand New phone... Odd isn't it? -- The scratches are not that heavy or visible but still there and can be clearly seen in sunlight or a well lit area.
Me and my brother prefer the natural smooth feel of the screen so we don't use any screen protectors on our devices... However, we do have insurance just to be safe.

Ceramic would have been a nice touch. I certainly enjoy the Mi Mix devices and the build quality! I own the Mi Mix 1&2 they're both as solid as ever. I know a lot of people don't care for ceramic though and many prefer to have plastic or glass ... Not quite sure why but to each it's own ...

- The best out of those - Nilkin did a great jobe and follow the the back curves. Precision cuts. You need to hold nicely because its not so rubbery. Note 9
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/183176796723
- Good case with a nice style. precisely cuts, follow the back curves. Note 7
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/372276989136
- Horrible - It has protection because its almost like covering your cellphone with a tire. Note 2
Have one of these. Seems like it would take the blow should the phone fall screen first on a completely flat surface. The corners are somewhat hollow which makes them a bit softer than the rest of the case. I guess it's around 1.3mm thick and sticks out 0.65mm above the screen. It seems to provide some extra grip but is not really comfortable to hold. It's cheap atleast.

I purchased the Roxfit Precision Slim Soft Touch Shell. If you like something slim that will provide some minor protection to the back and corners this is a great case. Everything lines up and it doesnt hinder any usage of the fingerprint scanner at all. Its pretty thin so like i said this will probably only prevent minor damage.

that case seems very nice, and I like it doesn't cover all the buttons!
the clear and anti-scratch one seems even slimmer though? Maybe I could try that one..
and did you maybe get also the curved screen protector?

I did purchase those screen protectors as well. The problem with these is they do not sit perfectly on the edge of the curved part of the screen. Your left with a slightly raised edge that is going to accumulate grime and debris around the border of the screen protector. However it does fit with the slim case and the 2 do not conflict with each other in any way. That being said if your have noticed the screen sensitivity issue at all then your are REALLY going to notice it with this on. I find myself having to hit the same button 2 or more times especially if the part of the screen I am tapping is closer to the edge of the screen. I would only recommend getting this right now if your in desperate need of the protection it may offer. If not then I may hold off until Sony fixes whatever issue is going on with their screen sensitivity.

hi thanks for the answer. I already have glass protector applied, I got the version smaller than the front panel so it covers only the real screen actually, still it has the same problem on the sides coming a little apart and accumulating dust, so I wondered if the curved one would have been better. if it is not I'll stay with the one I have now, thank you!
about the sensitivity problem, I didn't try without the protector, as I applied it as soon as I received the phone, I can fill it sometimes especially when scrolling items, I have to put more pressure than usual, but it is not a so big problem for me atm.
Just ordered these 2 cases and set of screen protectors. Will update when they arrive.
I ordered the two manufactured by Nillkin (the hard plastic, and the flexible ones), I will report back when I get them.
I already have the one that imitates leather, and has a V letter on the back. It's pretty bad in my opinion, make the phone less comfortable, the fit is not great, and it doesn't add any protection to the screen (minimally raised borders). Wouldn't recommend it unless you want to go for the absolutely cheapest.

didn't you return your xz2c because of the screen sensitivity problem? just curious
I did return it, but my device had also a dead pixel. So after I saw the same screen sensitivity issue in the Huawei p20 and p20 pro I started believing that this is an Oreo issue as was explained in some other thread... And I ordered another xz2c
So if Sony doesn't resolve the touch screen issue themselves, probably it will be solved by Google in the next major Android update.
It bugs me, but I can live with it, and I want to believe it will be resolved. Basically I don't see any other phone that will fulfill me in battery life + 2018 SoC + not huge size. My only alternative would be a S9 with lineage OS, but buying an expensive phone with the intention of voiding warranty on day 1 is not a good approach I think.
Probably the Xiaomi mi7 would be a good alternative, but we're months away from its release.
No phone is perfect, so I prefer something that fits my pocket and I don't have to charge in the middle of the day, even if it means a poor gaming experience.

well said i agree all points and not to mention s9 users, treble or not, i really don't think will get a fully functioning los, with perfect cam quality like stock etc, or at least not immediately! plus s8/s9 are already too big for me, and TW is not an option at all. mi7 also will be bigger than this one.
yeah I'm following that thread and saw what you guys realized, I'm happy it is not a Sony problem so this is probably going to be sorted out.
I'm really enjoying this phone, not perfect of course but has many pros, and dimensions are wonderful.
will wait for your feedbacks about covers and glasses.. bye!

I thought the same about the S8 and S9 at the beginning, but I ended getting a S8 last year and it's very comfortable in hand, despite the size.
I understand you have different preferences, I don't need my phone to be compacts, but I don't want to be huge. Let's say the S8/S9 is my limit. Something like a Oneplus, the bigger XZ2, etc. would be uncomfortable for me. Maybe I will buy a Mi7 later this year, but I doubt it.
Well the screen protectors were fail, they didn't grip around the curved screen edge at all. The Olixar case sux, it's very slippery and prone to finger prints. I do like the Kugi case, it's grippy and it feels stout and durable. The raised edges also will protect the screen well if u lay the phone screen down.
I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/Colorful-Ult...d=1525256695&sr=8-1&keywords=xz2+compact+case
Really happy with it, great case.
This is the case I got: http://a.co/4iwmOZU
I quite like it and just left a review with photos. I definitely recommend looking at my photos, as the actual product is a little different than the mock-ups. Particularly on the corners.

Does it have raised edges in order to protect the screen? If not, do you use a screen protector?

It does not. I plan to get a glass screen protector once a good one exists.
Olixar FlexiShield
I've tried a Olixar FlexiShield. It fits tight on the phone, creates an edge maybe 1mm above the screen, it's smooth and comfortable to touch and hold.
There's no extra padding in the corners and the buttons become difficult to operate.
for less than 10 €, i'am very satisfy
this one is not realy elegant but give a very good protection for 5€ FPI !
this one is elegant and thin as a 2nd skin
but don't give a big protection for 5€ FPI !
