Does it comes with screen protector in the box? Like Touch Pro..
Asking because I ordered one, until it comes from Hong Kong...
to have something on screen...
thx
yes there is, as is a soft protection bag.
there is but...
Yes there is a screen protector in the box but I heard that it is not the top quality... So you better buy a quality type like BRANDO ULTRA CLEAR Protector Plus.
I will by this type when I buy my HD! I used the same brand for my Qtek S200 for over a year and I'm very satisfied with it.

I think the screen protector is not too bad, it is hard plastic not that rubbery stuff. It is certainly nothing like those cheap ones that you find in local shops and it covers the whole face of the phone, not just the screen. The cloth bag cover that comes with it is OK, but it is a bit thick. I found a black silicon cover that is made for the iPhone 3G, I made the hole bigger for the earphone plug and a new hole in the back for the camera. I saw this video of it on YouTube (not my video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUOgFQ8dpzo . It isn't a perfect fit but it's pretty good until the official covers are available.
The hard plastic covers made for the iPhone won't fit the HD
My story: i snobbed the screen protector since i never used any in the last 10 years, and peeled it badly since i thought i would have never used it...but looking better to it, it was not too bad! then, I ordered two original replacement protectors from HTC, installed it VERY carefully....and now they are essentially invisible and you'd need time to realize that the screen protector is actually present....
So, refrain from excitement when you open the box!
I thought I'd read to steer clear of the protector in the box? You guys are saying to go ahead and put it on?

Well, i disagree.
I seem to be able to get the phone in it with minimun effort, seems that it expands after a little use, like new shoes or clothes...
my gf put on the screen protector that came with the phone.. and i guess shes good at it haha cuz we put it on with no bubbles.. no edges up.. no nothing. PERFECT. it looks great. dont even notice it. ive been using the pouch that came with it and i like it. works fine.. squeeze from the bottom to take it out and just hold it slightly firm on the sides to put it in.. pushing down from the 3.5mm jack so you dont accidentally turn on the screen again with the power button.. gets slightly easier after a bit .. dont be scared =P
Is the screen protector in the box the same as the ones sold on htcaccessorystore.com (and other places like expansys) :
HTC Touch HD Screen Protector SP P200 (2 Pieces) ??
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=173045
I managed to put on the original screen protector with little hassle but hate the quality. Hope martins ship their fast.
is there a need for screen protector at all. I mean can I damage thescreen with stylus or my fingers?
YES! and a good quality piece!
I had accidentally hit my kaiser screen with seat belt metal piece, thinking screen is damaged. Therefore, not willing to remove the film to face the reality. Only yesterday, after confirming my blackstone is configured and running well, I removed my Kaiser screen protector. The screen is good as new. The dent on the film is "high"! Thanks to the martin shield.

Yes I'd also like to know if a screen protector is necessary, assuming yyou don't abuse it.
Also would a cheap one from ebay be any good, and if not why not?

Now how the hell you did that ? :< I re-applied it 150 times and i need to be like super precise on it not to go left or right even for 0.0001mm
hell yeah screen protectors are necessary!
the screen will mark over time with stylus use and of course anything that "accidentally" hits it that is hard will cause marks, and no matter how careful you are, accidents happen
ive got the packaged screen protector on and its not too bad but i have a martin fields one ready to go on instead once the htc one starts to wear
I tried multiple times to apply the protector and was always off by a hair by the time got to the bottom. When I finally got it on straight there was enough dust on under it that I got disgusted and peeled it off again. I didn't give up though and ordered the OEM screen protectors again (two to a pack) and this is how I finally installed it properly:
1. Wash your hands.
2. Wipe the phone screen clean of any dust and fingerprints.
2. Find as dust free an environment that you have.
3. Peel the top edge of the protector only then line up this up with the top of the phone.
4. Slowly apply to the protector to the phone while allowing the backing to peel off. Make sure you don't allow it to totally come off.
5. You will soon know if it's going to lay flat in the slightly recessed area of the phone screen. The protector is exactly the same size as the recessed area and there is no room for error.
6. If not, peel the protector off again while allowing the backing to reseat on the protector but not all the way to the top.
7. Reposition the top edge very slightly and repeat. It will probably take several tries to get it right. It took me about 6 times but it looks very good when done.
The replacement protectors are easier to apply because the backing is the same size as the protector so it's easier to align with the phone.
If you're careful to not touch the adhesive side of the protector and are lucky enough not to have any dust settle on it, the final result is indistinguishable from the unprotected phone surface.
I'm very curious. Does anybody know why HTC doesn't supply the machine with the screen protector already installed?
Just to let you know that I bought the Brando Screen Protector for the Diamond2 from Inkino. They even installed it for me which is a bonus. The screen protect is absolutely amazing and is a good as any that I have seen. Do not scrimp on cheap nasty ones that come in multiples in a pack. You only ever need one good one. The Ikino guy showed me a Treo 650 which had a Brando Screen protecter that he had installed when the Treo 650 came out (was I born then ) and it was in a very impressive state. If you are going to install it yourself then they do recommend doing it very slowly and cleaning the screen before-hand is crucial. Common sense I know, but you would be surprised how easy it is to get dust under the protector.
got mines today. 2 pcs, both from Brando. one is the Ultra Clear version.
i've applied the "normal" one for now and i must say it's really cool!
putting it on went pretty much smooth. in the bathroom, where i guess there's less dust, i've cleaned first the screen with a special lotion. then waited until it dried up, after that applied the Brando screen protector as shown in the "instructions".
went OK, only had to start again 2-3 times, then found the right position. went over it with a credit-card while smoothing it out on the D2's screen. it sits very good, no air bubbles and really just a few very small dust pieces at the border of the protector - does not disturb.
so, yes, the Brando screen protectors are really the thing!
now i want only the textured back plate and then i'm really happy!
PS: didn't find the screen-protectors on the romanian market, so had to order them from speedshop.hu (hungary), but eveything went very smooth! in 2 days after the payment
Could you post pictures for me? I'm looking for a screen protector too. Does it cover the whole black part, or just the 3.2 inch screen part?
it covers the display + the black border around. it's actually identical in size with the one delivered in the stock package, the difference in the aspect being the "U" shape around the front camera (the original one is a circle).
I don't get it, mine came with a screen protector.
I think it is quite a good protector,
why are you intersetd in th ebrando protector, didn't yours came with a protector as well ?

yeah, i know. the problem is that i didn't pay enough attention when putting on the screen protector that came in the box and i messed it up (got dust and airbubbles under the protector), so after i've tried to get it clean, i messed it up so bad that it got useless.
this is why i ordered 2 brando's (speedshop.hu has 2 versions) - put on one that is not the "ultra clear" version and now i am happy with it.
When applying the standard screen protector that comes wit the phone, how do you get the screen free from greasy finger prints? If I wipe it with a cloth I just smear it out

Is a screen protector really important? I used mine, but the dust freaked me out. Can't place it without any dust...
So I removed mine, and now not using anything. Just bought a case.
What do you think?

You should put one, if it is not too late: once your screen is scratched (and it will get scratched, very fast if u use the stylus), you will have to buy a new screen cover (I think it include the digitizer), which will be much more expensive, or live with scratches which will blemish your screen, which are especially bad with TD2: the very high pixel density will cause moiré pattern (rainbow effect) around the scratch and I find that very annoying...
It is not so hard to install, mine was my first attempt at installing a screen protection, and it went flawlessly: just be careful, do not hurry, do not put your fingers on the screen (once cleaned) nor on the sticky face of the protector, and work in a clean, dust free, well lit room. Dust free is hard, but an excellent trick i did found here was to use your bathroom, after a hot shower (keep the water runnnig a long time, and take a shower yourself ) It will ensure YOU are dustfree ;-), but also, more important, water condensation will remove almost all particles in suspension, and you will get very clean air. BTW, better to wear minimal clothes after your shower: clothe fibers is the most common dust/particles....
If you work in such a place, the only difficult thing is to get the screen protector perfectly aligned. I started on the top, got the grid and camera holes aligned, tried to cover the screen from top to bottom, and restarted as soon as I saw the slightest misalignment without letting the screen protector out of my hand (else it is very difficult to repick - that was the only trouble I had after I was too enthusiatic and let it go while there was still a small misalignment.
If you keep calm, and have good hand coordination, 2 or 3 attempts and you will have an invisible screen protector ;-) Oh yes, and start with a clean screen (I cleaned mine with distilled water and a soft microfiber glass cleaning tissue...worked very well....)
Thanks, I'll have to buy one then.
BTW, does a screen protector affect the sensitivity of the screen? Do you have to press slightly harder on the screen to get it to recognize your finger?

slightly, yes....on the other hand, it is more slippy, although not enough for my taste when using fingers, but it is an improvement compared to the bare screen. Before I installed the screen protector, it was much too grippy for confortable finger sweep motions imho (clean screen, after a while finger grease act as a lubricant ;-) ).
All in all, weighting the slight decrease in sensitivity against the friction reduction...I prefer my screen with the screen protection, even taking out the protection factor
There's this Zagg product for the TD2, which is invisible. Not really sure about this... I might just get the regular screen protector, and use a silicone case.
I would recommend placing the bottom edge of the screen protector up against the bottom buttons to align it. I managed to get it perfect first time.
I find the supplied screen protector picks up finger prints even worse than the bare screen. Are the after market ones any better?
My reseller did the protective screen installation for me. Did a good job. Did you guys get the free pouch also? I am not sure if the pouch came with the unit or if it was a free gift as a promotion.
What's the difference between different brands of protectors and the original HTC ones? I bought last week branded HTC protectors made exclusively for Diamond 2, their HTC part nr is SP P240, they fit fantastically well.. Are they worse than brands mentioned earlier in the thread?

May be they have some particular features such as "antiscratch" or "washable screeing protector"!

Hello.
Im looking for screen protectors for my newly purchased HD.
So I'll head out and try a few myself probably.
But what I would like to know, are there any protectors around, which are
difficult to remove? Or even impossible without damaging the screen?
So I don't ruin my HD in the process
I appreciate any help.

difficult to remove - yes (I still have standart screen protector - the one that came in the box with HD - its quite hard to remove, cuz its stiched to the screen perfectly!!)
Impossible to remove - No , if there would be stuff like that then people wouldnt buy it ---- if you scratch your screen protector & cant remove it- the screen would look like its overused...
I scratched my stock screen protector with stylus - now my screen protector has a big scratch on the middle of screen (about 2cm long) ---- ordered 2mirror screen protectors & a soft gel case (which comes with a screen protector) from DC Mugen - will post on their quality!!
The InvisibleShields are quite difficult to remove, if you're concern is that silicon based ones are too easy to remove. Personally I don't like them much though, they're too thick and the optical qualities are inferior.
But just go with one with a silicon based adhesive screen protector, and not superglue, and your screen should survive attaching and reattaching easily.
The old screen protectors made with old school sticky stuff could pull off some of the resistive layer (ask my old Ipaq 3), but most modern screen protectors from reputable brands that you can get wet before attaching are very easy on the screen.

Well, I can live with a screen protector that's removable easily.
Basically the idea is, rather waste a couple of cheap screen protectors than risk damaging your HD with some diamond plate nailed to the device.
Thanks for the help.
Have a look at Boxwave Cleartouch screen protectors, I have used the crystal ones for years, and they are removable (use a tab of sticky tape to lift it off the screen) and you can even wash them and put them back on.
A little pricey, but worth it as one should last you for at least 6 months!
Hey everyone,
looking for a great screen protector that helps with the glare issue and viewing angles. I'm not expecting wonders but anything to help. Hate the fact I see reflection on screen sometimes. Any info would be great. Thanks

How about checking the Skinomi thread in this very first page of this section ?
I just orderded some screen protectors from ebay hong kong. 11.99 for 3. ill let you know how they work.
Good Screen Protector
Ordered one from Amazon made by Aurum(do a search). It came quickly and I am very happy with it, wished I waited a few days, they have a deal going on with it.
It says its made from Japanese PET, in my experience it is better than those "military" strength ones like Zagg etc(bad evo 4g experience). This one has a dry application and protected on both top and bottom by covers (a protector for the protector). Ships from the US.
I have the Skinomi. I'm happy with it, but it does not appear to help with glare or screen angles (though, honestly, I only used it for a few minutes before installing the protector).

Go with the Skinomi one. It's cheap (relatively if you consider lifetime free replacement) and if you don't botch the installation it looks fantastic. And... you don't have to wait three weeks for something to come from China.
Don't get me wrong, I buy stuff from China sometimes but only when I can't get it here or if it's a lot more money to get it from here.
Anyone have recommendations for screen protectors? Looking for helping with anti glare and no finger prints on it. Any info would be great. Thank for all the feedback so far.

The Skinomi one requires a WET application, that then has to dry, do you really want to spray some liquid on your new g-tab? I tried this on my Evo installation was a pain but then my fingers got stuck scrolling, so I learned my lesson and stick to the PET material which has a silicone coating for smooth movement
Aurum Screen Protector
You are right, I have the Aurum one from Amazon on my G-tablet, and there are no holes, but I do not see a difference in camera performance. The protector covers bezel to bezel. I've used the camera with and without the protector, all I know is that it is as grainy before as it was after the Aurum screen protector. I do not use the camera(I really do not need anyone getting scared looking at me) so it's fine by me, it the smoothness of movement that matters.
just my $0.02, but why not use the one by Zagg....?..

Thanks for the info, Traderny. Would you say that the Aurum screen protector allows for smoother gliding movements than the unprotected GTab screen? I'm hoping to find something that provides a nice swipe feel. Too often my fingers would "stick" to the naked screen or (less so, but still) the Skinomi protector.
My .2 cents

Wet application screen protectors have been around for a while and it has been shown to not be an issue if you follow the directions on installation. There are thousands of people that have used wet installation screen protectors here in the gTab forums that have reported no residual issues with the gTab during/after application.
Also, you don't spray liquid on the gTab, rather you're supposed to spray the liquid on both sides of the screen protector before application and dab up the excess liquid as you work it to the edges with the provided plastic card.
I've used both PET and this style of screen protectors on devices before and I prefer this over the PET as I have found the PET style protectors to be too shiny for my tastes.
Among the most helpful reviews for the PET protector on Amazon there are these comments:
1.) Good product, but a pain to put on. Just the slightest piece of dust will cause an air bubble.
2.) According to the packaging, this item is "Finger print free" and "Bubble free application". I experienced both. I would NEVER purchase this product again or recommend it.
Just goes to show you that people will find something to complain about no matter what the product is.
Protectors Protect
My experience with screen protectors on cell phones is that they are only good to protect the screen from damage. All of them will show fingerprints, smudges, grease and oil. This is esp. true with a touch screen. it's like wearing glasses you got to clean them alot. So save time money and headache by putting a microfiber cloth in the bag with your Gtab.
I went with the Exim anti-glare screen protectors, but did have to wait for shipping from China. I bought a complete skinomi skin set, and promptly botched the wet application of the screen protector, but since I wanted the anti-glare it just meant a week wait for the Chinese Air Mail which I had already ordered.
Overall I like the Exim, it was easy to install without any bubbles, though you might want to trim the corners a bit as its a very tight fit. I ended up cutting them off after applying it because I had the screen on perfectly without a single dust mote making a raised area. I don't mind a poorly cut corner, but do wish I had just done a quick trimming beforehand as I wasn't perfectly centered.
2 for $12.99... Was worth the wait.
Hey Naieve,
does it really help with the anti glare issue? Also does it have any issues with the touch screen interface? Is the screen protector to thick that it doesnt detect your finger movement on the screen? Any help on the finger print issues haha?
It helps some with the glare, definitely diffuses the light, but it looks more like a compromise in between a clear protector and some of the very heavy anti-glare screen protectors I've seen. I like it because of this actually. As to issues with the touch screen, I spent some time googling before buying, and while I forget where I read it the fact is there is no difference while using this protector. Even a light touch still works just fine. I wonder if that is the reason this AG protector diffuses less light, as I have heard of some AG protectors being too thick and screwing up touch. It does still show fingeprints, but its not that bad and is easy to clean. Definitely less noticeable than just the screen itself.

I said I would update once my Aurum arrived. Like others have mentioned, there is no cutout for the camera or sensor - I don't know what effect that has nor do I really care. I never use the camera anyway.
The protector itself fits perfectly on the screen - it is so perfect that I had trouble aligning it properly and i would get halfway done installing it and notice it was running off the side of the screen slightly.
It took a few minutes to install because I did want it to be perfect. Now that it is installed I am really happy with it. My fingers slide better across the screen and there are far less fingerprints. I am happy with my purchase.
Have had the TF300 for about a week and just cannot stand the fingerprints and worries about scratches. I'm used to Gorilla Glass and this is driving me nuts. I've been researching screen protectors quite a bit and cannot seem to get a consensus on a certain brand. I know the selection for the TF300 right now is slim, but given what you've used on earlier devices, what is a good brand to go with?
I have it in a case (Caseen Designo), but would like an extra layer of protection.
I've had good experiences with SGP's Steinheil screen protectors. I've used both the clear ones as well as the matte glare reduction/smudge resistant models and have been happy with both. The usual reduction in clarity is in the matte protector, but the cut was very precise and it lasted me a year before i took it off because i missed the crisp picture of the IPS panel, the protector was still pristine.
I just keep a microfiber and a small credit card style sprayer with 50/50 alcohol and water mix in the bag that i keep the tablet in, and its been alright so far, if you keep it in the dock most of the time you shouldn't have to worry about it being scratched unless you drop it or something, which i have yet to do since i also have a skinomi techskin on the back so its nice and grippy.
SGP doesn't make a protector for the TF300 yet, but i'd keep an eye on it, they make some solid products.
screen size is same as prime so protectors made for the prime should work.

You may want to check camera and light sensor placement before you put a prime screen protector on. They may be the same but it never hurts to check
Nothing else will work with the TF300 unfortunately.
I've been researching like crazy and think I've narrowed it down to:
Zagg
Stenheil
XtremeGuard
Those seem to get the best reviews. I'm really looking for:
same feeling as naked screen
optimal clarity
mitigates fingerprints
If you've never felt a zagg's wet apply film before i suggest you find someone who's got something similar to it and try it first, i see one of the criteria is feel close to naked screen, zagg and other wet apply soft skins usually feel grippy when you first install it, and gradually over time will wear out and feel smoother. In general there are the wet apply films which feel a bit like vinyl except its clear, or the dry apply protectors which are harder pieces of plastic, those will feel closer but nothing will be quite like a naked screen.
Is there big difference on screen sensitive between glossy and matte screen protector? or just you see difference of screen quality...
Thanks
I almost wonder if I might just be better off with a naked screen. I have my TF300 in a Caseen leather case and am always very careful when it's in use. The only thing I'd like to mitigate is the fingerprints.
Wait for a ClearCoat screen protector....i have tried every other brand and there is NOTHING like them. Super thin, no spongey feeling or orange peel....
I bought the xtremeguard one on ebay for 8.99 It fits great. The one I got isn't anti-glare though. One thing that kind bothers me, since I have never used a screen protection before, is that my fingers don't glide as easily as in the glass, it shows a bit of resistance. But I guess I just got to get used to that. I have not seen a reduction in screen sensitivity as of yet, but my dagi stylus kinda sucks now with the screen protector T_T since its plastic on plastic the resistance is really bad.
I like my skinomi. it takes forever to apply since it's wet application and if you're OCD about bubbles/lint like me. But once you've got it on there perfect and wait for it to dry and clear up it's not bad at all +lifetime guarantee.
I've always liked wet applications over the adhesive/static stuff just because they last a long time, and I havent noticed the yellowing people have talked about on any of my devices, I agree about the stylus issue, though (jot pro)
+1 for skinomi...
I used to swear by Zagg ...
Skinomi has only a slight orange peel effect and is generally smother except I agree it is still a nogo for the Jot pro as it doesn't let the plastic disk glide
after a while the Zagg invisible skins would start to keep my finger from sliding properly...
Skinomi skins do not have this issue and they dont show finger smudges very much
I want to try the Zagg HD skins as they are supposed to be glass smooth but they seem to only be out for iProducts and the kindle fire.....

I've always liked wet applications over the adhesive/static stuff just because they last a long time, and I havent noticed the yellowing people have talked about on any of my devices, I agree about the stylus issue, though (jot pro)

the lifetime warrenty requires you to pay for shipping and handling by paying for the shipping and they also ask that you put your cc# on a paper and send it in. kinda risky there.

You may want to check camera and light sensor placement before you put a prime screen protector on. They may be the same but it never hurts to check

just got the bestskinsever protector for the prime and size is the same and cut out for camera is in the right spot. should be good to go on other protectors made for prime.

I bought the xtremeguard one on ebay for 8.99 It fits great. The one I got isn't anti-glare though. One thing that kind bothers me, since I have never used a screen protection before, is that my fingers don't glide as easily as in the glass, it shows a bit of resistance. But I guess I just got to get used to that. I have not seen a reduction in screen sensitivity as of yet, but my dagi stylus kinda sucks now with the screen protector T_T since its plastic on plastic the resistance is really bad.

This will pass eventually from wear, on my zune hd i used to have an invisible shield which is a similiar kind of wet apply soft protector, and eventually the center part wore down enough to where it was like a hard plastic protector.
You bring up a good point though that i forgot to mention, i've used matte hard protectors, clear hard protectors, and soft wet apply films and my adonit jot still works best on a naked screen, though the matte hard protector had more of a paper resistance to it and the clear and naked both were much smoother.
Szpaner: the touchscreen sensitivity for me was largely the same between a clear hard protector and matte hard protector, i wasn't able to glide as well with the wet apply film so i wasn't able to gauge properly how sensitive it was compared to the other two.
mfratella: a light coat of rain-x on the naked screen helps make it much easier to wipe clean, i can breathe on it once or twice and the condensation is good enough to clear the whole screen. Even with the matte hard protectors which are supposed to be designed to be anti-fingerprint, they will still show up eventually from the oils in your finger, those spots will end up being a little more transparent so you'd have to wipe anyway, though in my experience the matte ones are the easiest to wipe, i used to just use my sleeve and give it a once over and it was all clean.

Is there big difference on screen sensitive between glossy and matte screen protector? or just you see difference of screen quality...
Thanks

When I've used a matte screen protector, I didn't notice any difference in screen sensitivity. The biggest difference is in the clarity of the screen. On a phone, I can deal with the graininess that a matte screen protector brings with it. But on a tablet with a large screen, something that I'm going to use for long periods of reading, it's far too distracting for me. Personally, I'd rather work around glare now and then along with wiping off finger prints in exchange for a clearer screen.
Screen protectors compatible with dock?
The Armorsuit people replayed on an email I sent them asking if their screen protector was compatible with the keyboard for the TF300.. it appears it is not. They answered me just to be careful... so I was planing on cuting it. these screen protector is actually pretty good, and I think that I wont even notice the protector end-line at the bottom of the screen after a while. Do you know if cutting it actually works?
I just installed the Skinomi on mine. Took about 5 minutes and it's perfect. Just gotta makes sure you soak the hell out of the screen (you won't damage it) and both sides of the protector plus your hands so that you don't leave finger prints on the adheasive. If you have enough of the solution on everything it should kinda float on the surface of the tablet. You can just very easily slide it around until it is center and then start pushing the water out to make it stick. I didn't have one bubble on mine when completed.
The Zagg is now avail at best buy . No issues with the stylus either. Now all i need is a case im comfortable with.
