I just noticed that ZAGG have released an invisibleSHIELD for the Touch Pro 2.
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-touch-pro-2-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
Just wondering if anyone has it and could comment on it.
Also, the TP2 has an existing plastic cover on the battery cover (look around the volume rocker to see it) and I was wondering how the invisibleSHIELD interacts with this. Should we remove the existing one? or is it designed to go over the existing one?
Cheers
I think you'll find that the "shield" built in is actually just part of the back cover. Try and peel it off. It's not going anywhere. Invisible Shield should fit right over it.
i have the invisible shield on mine, and i have to say i'm not impressed. it is probably mainly due to the way i installed it, but it just doesn't seem to fit all that well. the worst area is at the very left and righ of the screen where it meets the chrome area and wraps around. there is a very slight ridge, and no matter how hard i try i can't get rid of the air bubble running along these edges. it is very small, but considering the invisible shield only protects the top half of the chromed area, i think i'm going to get rid of the front part andx replace it with a martin fields screen protector and leave the back invisible shield part on.
Does the invisible shield actually change the way you use the sylus?
Like I have seen phones where you had to press extra hard after installing the protector

Not from the point of view of how hard you have to press, but it does have a "grippy" quality that means the stylus doesn't glide across the screen as easily, and quite often jumps around. Try dragging your finger or stylus across a soft rubber surface and you'll get the idea!
Reading you reaction's this invisible shield doesn't seem all that great...
Looks like it, i use the brando ultra clear, this one is great.. fits perfectly and is very smooth with stylus and finger use!
Ouch~! Can I cancel my order? After reading your comments about it, it really turns me OFF...
Yep, my Zagg should be here anyday now. I have used them before and I'm not to impressed with the rubber feel of it. But I guess you have to sacrifice a good feel and good stylus slide for a scratch free device.
There is nothing I hate more than a scratched up device.

The feel with the martin fields screen protector is supperb. Seriously, i prefer to use the stylus with it. Just one complaint about that, it reduces the bright like 10%. Not a big deal anyways.
So once you apply one of these "shields" ---and suppose you don't like it...can you remove them? What effect does it have on your phone? I have never used a screen protector or a shield, so bare with me on this type of q. Thanks.

Yes they can be removed, and shouldn't leave any kind of residue on the phone. I've always had a screen protector of one kind or another on my phones purely because with te way I use and carry them, they inevitably end up scratched, so I'd rather it was just a cheap bit of plastic that I can easily replace taking the abuse than the screen itself!
If you put the full body protector on correctly, take your time and don't get in a hurry. It will really be worth it, especially for protecting this high dollar of a phone. For me it gives me better grip so the phone wont slide out of your hands, plus you can put it in your pocket with keys and coins and it will still come out scratch free. But the only downfall is the sleek feel of the screen during finger/stylus swipes.
What I did was just applied the back cover portion. I uses the Brando Crystal Clear Screen Protector for the screen only. I have a better grip to the phone and still have the smooth finger swipes on the screen. I can freely leave it on any surfaces in peace of mind knowing that the back of the phone is well protected. But the only downside of it is, the edges of the films will for sure collect dusts and it might turn yellow after few months. I misses the sleek feel of the phone in my hand. I might remove it someday... and let it be scratched, then just buy a back cover to replace it.

I wish I knew this before. I just received mine in the mail today and installed it. It feels to be somewhat not as thick and grippy as the one I installed on one of my other devices about 8 months ago. Or maybe its just me, either way it doesn't feel bad and the front screen isn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Maybe their making the invisible shield with a better feel with the same great protection.
But I know one thing hasn't changed. They are still a pain in the butt to put on correctly.
My shield should arrive in 2-3 days...i'll get back to you guys when I've put it on the device....

I'm assuming you mean screen protectors? The original one that came with the phone is great... just try not to get dust underneath it. Makes it unsalvagable
As for other screen protectors... well, you get what you pay for. I bought a pack of 12 for about $15. A $1 screen protector is exactly that.
In terms....
If you're talking about the today screen then yes. Download the .Cab files on your device and open it on your device. Try that for now and if it say like exe. then more then likely you would have to active sync your comp to phone. good luck
I meant screen protector
the one that came with the phone is smaller then the screen.
Very annoying.
Yeag ut do
Try it but dont buy it... your phone will more then likely dent and scratch but it happens over the years. by the time your know it; youll be buying a new phone anyway. Im on my 4 xda over 2 years. IF your with t mobile; they will go into a big change really soon. phone is already in transaction to catch the 3G internet. Save that $15 to your nexts phone! by the time your know it 6 months later you have $45. good luck
I use Boxwave screen protectors with this device and all my past devices. I have good luck with Boxwave. One screen protector will last you 9 months to a year. I normally just carry my Wing (and my previous devices) in my front pocket with the screen turned inwards to my leg. No keys, pens, change or other things in the pocket. Never have had a problem this way.
I use ShieldZone's full case cover(film) on my wing...
even though the place I work doesn't sell them, I still take my keys to the case just to prove the point that cases/protectors are worth it..
I keep my Wing in my pocket, frequently with my money clip and/or pens... 2 months it's still in *great* condition.. sure the cover is getting a bit dirty, but I know when i remove the cover months down the road to replace it it'll probably look like new again
I just ordered a set of protectors from NuShield. They seem like a really great product. I'll let you know how they are when they get here. It was 3 for $11.99 US.
Im into selling phones and one thing I've noticed is that WM phones don't depreciate as much as say a Razr would. I read a comment about someone who says you shouldn't get one (and I respect everyone's opinion,) but that wouldn't be very smart. If you keep your phone in good condition + keep a screen protector on it by the time you come to sell it and buy a new phone you will be able to put more money on your new purchase (with the money made from selling your old phone) than you would with just the 15 you would save from buying a screen protector. For me this is a no brainer. Get a screen protector, and I don't mean the one that comes with it, buy a good one for like 20$.
Atleast once you do you won't care about touching her delicate parts cuz you'll be using protection
I just got my NuShield screen protectors in today and I think they rock. They're of a very strong plastic material that is absolutely clear, and it completely covers the screen, even under the bezel, without using any adhesive. No bubbles, nothing between the protector and the screen, absolutely perfect display. Cannot even tell it is there.
I read a post in another thread where someone bought a sizable skin from bestskinsever.com. I tried it out because they said they had such good luck with it. Its the first screen protector that I have ever put on that actually is invisible. No dust, no bubbles, looks perfect. You use a soap solution before you put it on and slide it into place. I used my fingernail to get the edges of the screen protector underneath the edges of the phone. Seriously, it looks like its not even there. Oh yeah, they are cheap as hell too.
i buyed a schreen protector , exactly to herald .. it cost $22 (it was only one schreen protector) .. i have it about 15 months of full gaming by stylus, and surving net by picsel brovser (a lot of slides by stylus) and i dont have 1 scratch on it... it is realy perfect .. perfect fits on my schreen, and it seems, it is undestroyable... very happy with it ...
i would say, you better buy one more expensive for a long of time than be still buing that, where one cost $1.. (my opinion)
Hi All, since a lot of us are getting the shift now, i guess it's time to think about which screen protector you are going to use, personally i always enjoy the Martin Field Overlay Screen protector, but they don't seems to have one for the shift yet, what do you guys think? found any good screen protector you are going to use?
Hi,
My shift was delivered with a screen protector, I have placed it on the first day and it looks really good. There was no brand on it, so I cannot tell about the manufacturer.
So far I am vey satisfied with it.

yes, i am aware of that, it just i have been using HTC for more then 7 years now, past experience told me i better wait for better screen protector, because once you put it the HTC one, it's so difficult to remove it, and if you do try to remove it and swap it with something else, you leave a mark on the screen, some user even experience bend and uneven screen because the original one is just so sticky.
There don't seem to be many screen protectors specifically for the Shift yet, I'm sure there will be soon. I fitted the included one but not very well, I managed to get a couple of dust specks under it.
I've ordered some generic 7" protectors from Durasec http://www.durasec.com/catalog/index.php?language=en
I also ordered one of their liquid nanotech screen protector kits, don't know much about it but it appears to be a liquid which you spray onto the screen to form a seal. Should be interesting...
Is it neccessary?
Hi,
please, give me an answer to a stupid question?
Is it really necessary to apply a screen protector. Why don't the manufacturers do it in the first place.
What are the advantages, what the disadvantages. Okay, protection comes to mind as an advantage, but shouldn't the original screen be resilient enough?
I'd really like to here some informative opinions.
I have been using a HTC Vario II for some time now without any protection and I can't detect any scratches.
Settembrini
Has anyone managed to find a decent screen protector yet?
Pantaloonie - how was the durasec one?
I've received them, but haven't got round to removing the original and trying them out. The liquid one is a bit strange, apparently you spray it on the screen then spread it with the included cloth, and it forms a protective layer.... or something. Think I'll be testing that on a cheaper device first!

I've got the original on but I have a scratch on the screen and wanted to remove it to see if its just the screen protector or the actual screen that is scratched. Have tried in vain to get at it to peel it off...
Just managed to get a corner - it came off no problem and thankfully the scratch isnt there! Just need a new protector now, my OCD is starting to kick in. Let me know how you get on with the Duratecs! Cheers

DO NOT by the Durasec. Got mine from Germany, welcome to bubble hell.
Just wish I knew where the original ones are from....
Anyone found any decent ones?
I still haven't tried either of the Durasec ones I bought, as it seems I'll be needing dynamite to remove the original one. It does not want to come off.

I'd leave it on if I were you - I only took mine off as it had a hair underneath and I was losing sleep over it. Took a while but once you get a hold of a little corner it lifts off no problem. I've emailed HTC to ask if they can send me another but I'm notn holding my breath.
Would stay away from the standard Duratec - waste of £8. Let me know if you try the liquid one though!
Hi -
Anyone used the liquid Duratec shield on the Shift yet?

Duratec Crap
Hi,
today I removed the original Screen and tried Duratec, the cheap screen protector. They have also got a hightec version or something like that.
Crap! Crappier! Crappiest sheet of **** you can think of.
S.
But which one is really recommendable?
Thanks!

How did you remove the original screen protector without damaging the display? What is the problem with the Duratec screens?
Hi,
removal was difficult, but I did it. I don't know the exact English words. I used this sticky tape which you wrap up parcels with, tape is of a brownish colour. That I stuck onto the screen protector until it lifted in one corner.
Duratec is thin and cheap material and I guess it is not possible to get it on the screen without lots of bubbles.
Now I have ordered a protector from Brando, was that the name?
We will see.
S.
I really like the anti glare screen protector from www.pocketpctechs.com . I use it with my both my SMT5800 cellphone and my Motion Tablet PC. I'm hoping I can get one sized for the Shift. But my Shift is not here yet so I don't know the size. I can't even tell I have a screen protector with this brand.
screen protector abuse
Hi,
any news about the "best" protector.
In the meantime I have abused 4 or 5. Duratec's cheap ones aren't of any other use than to clean the screen from dust particles.
I tried the Brando "ultra clear" was that the name? Relativ easy to apply, but in the end I fiddled with it too long. Had to peel it off.
Next I tried Brando "plus". Easily to apply, but foil slipped underneath the edge of the screen, when lifting it up to clean off a piece of fluff the protectors edge was damaged.
But the last one is really easy to apply. But, but, they or the distributers just declared them to be for the Shift, originally they are for the eee, how many eeeees were there?
So the screen protector doesn't really fit. At the edges there the foil doesn't cover about 1 or 2 millimeters of the Shift's screen.
Maybe somtime soon they will sell a protector that is for the Shift.
Please, if anyone has got the ultimate protector mention it here:
perfect fit and easily to apply would be nice features.
S.
Hey guys, please vote here - who use screen protector with own TP2
And those who use, please describe here who is the manufacturer of your screen protector and your experience, how good is it for you.
Most recent HTC devices have come with pretty good screen protectors included in the box. I didn't use a screen protector on my first device, and I'm not making that mistake again.
anyone knows why they don't install it from the factory?
I voted and i own an x1. I use.
I've seen threads like this before and I've always wondered why there is even a debate on this topic. Why would anyone not use a screen protector?
My theory: The next person you see using a touch screen device with no screen protector, probably doesn't use one because he messed it up when applying it on the device.

You should use the Crystal Clear type. You sometimes don't even noticed that it's being installed.

That's true, but when you use your device for some months without any protector, it will never be so clear as with a screenprotector (that you can replace when needed )

Based on what I read in the accessories forum, I decided to try a Martin Fields one. Had it on for 2 days now - so far, so good. The one that came with the phone kept peeling off at the bottom edge near the buttons.
I didn't bother with my Vario III, as the ones I tried seriously affected the screen responsivness. Of course it got a key scratch in the first 3 months:-(
On my TP2 I installed the supplied one, and will get a Martin Fields one.
However I've got to return the unit (dodgy radio), so it is vital not to scratch it before returning it!
I messed upp my original screen protector
So i bought the Copter screenprotector from Skalshop.se it's a bit rubbery, but other than that it works good. It came with some liquid spray for aplying the protection. A bit tricky to apply but worked good in the end.
Martin Fields - where from you guys are buying them? I don't see them at ebay for TP2
also - are they really the BEST? or they just have the highest price?
The store from which I bought my TP2 gave me another screen protector - I haven't used the one that came with the device. Probably cost them less than US$1-2 to buy in bulk - I never pay more than US$8 for one retail
Using the one supplied with the evice and it works perfetly (I was against screen protetors when I had a Hermes, but with TP I can barely see it)
I once had a device and when I applied the screen protector I hated it. It improved sunlight visibility by refracting the light, unfortunately this made it harder to read fine print on the screen. I also couldn't remove the protector and was stuck with it. Another one I had tried before that one which was removable, reduced sensitivity too much.
Those are reasons not use one. But as long as the available protectors can be removed in case you don't like them, then it's worth trying them out. That way you don't risk your screen unecessarily.

That's right! I use it and it's better than the one that HTC gives us: I have a new one because it was removed while in my pocket.. But now I'm happier!
I´m using touchscreen phones for many years (since my first PALM ) and i´ve noticed that the new screens are much more resistent. I think that you loose quality if you use a screen protector.
Just don´t put your phone in the same pocket that coins, keys,... and use it´s cover when putting it in a bag.
one other advantage with a phone like this should you choose not to use a screen protector is that since the phone has such a large screen and it's so touch optimized you won't get as much wear and tear on the common points of contact (like the "e" on the onscreen keyboard).
I use Proporta Screen Protectors. After I had used then in my Asus P535 I do not want another brand. They protect very well the screen, they were washable and also doesn't change too much the sensation of the touch with the pen or even with fingers.
I dont use one for a few reasons. I dont put my TP2 in any pocket with coins etc. I am pretty careful with it.
Although most importantly im insured on it, accidental damage w/ no excess to when the time comes it gets a bit dodgy ill smash it up and get a new one. If ive still got the TP2 when my contract runs out/upgrade ill probably wap a screen protector on then.
Hi, this is my first thread so far I've been doing a lot of research about my phone, figured it was a good deal, and purchased the Tmobile version. I've been looking for a case even before I bought it, but it seems there isn't a perfect case out there simply because of the sliding keyboard. Well I was just using my TP2 about an hour ago and as I was using the stylus to scroll down in opera, I heard "SCRAPE!" ...my ears said "WTF!?!?! NO!!!!" and i quickly realized what had just happened. Never thought it was possible but whatever. Anyways, I've had the phone for 6 days or so and I plan to exchange it tomorrow.
This has definitely motivated me to find a case and screen protector and end the headache. So I've came up with the following from reading some threads the past hour, but I want to be sure before I order. So far I have this case

It was 2000 the first time I experienced that. It was a palm m500 and a little piece of dust got on the tip of my stylus. I didn't hear it so much as I felt the friction, but my reaction was much the same. I haven't gone without a screen protector since.
As to the included screen protector, use it if it works for you, but you'll typically find better durability in popular protectors like the boxwaves you linked to or clarivues. The clarivue that I put on my Palm TX in 2005 is still on it, and still looks good.
The thing I worry about with a lot of those no name brand cases on ebay is how well do they really fit? The last thing you want is to have them falling off. I don't know if my fear is well-founded or not, but I didn't really want to gamble on it. But as far as TMo goes, I'm not sure what to tell you. Boxwave actually has a pretty cool soft case called the praetorian crystal slip, but not for the TMo version. Seidio seems like a nice quality joint, but they don't seem to make their innocase for the TMo version either.
Edit: I suppose you could check this thread out.
I had the acrylic case with screen protector and I removed it shortly after purchasing. The porblem I had is that the screen protector is superficial and although it works sometimes when I typed certain virtual keys another part of the screen protector would also bend down on my press and caused for a different near by character to be pressed. Eventually I got rid of it and just purchased a seperate screen protector.
I really am looking for quality though for a case, just want something that's not too big or will not hinder usage of the phone. I've heard a lot about the ghost armoring and all. I'm considering it, but that will not save a phone from a fall or anything like that.
Consider an all-body protector (such as zagg or bodyguardz), combined with a pouch or holster case that you remove the device from to use it.
This is my preferred method, so my TP2 is well protected when it's not in use, and I'm completely unhindered when I am using it (but still with scratch protection).
Note that the protectors need to be applied very slowly and carefully to make sure they're lined up well and properly stuck down around the edges.

I have the same clear hard plastic case and absolutely love it. I've tried the body glove case, and had some issues with sliding the keyboard in and out. I just use the screen protector that came with the phone, and the clear hard plastic case. No problems at all, though I still have to take the case off every once in a while to clean it, but you'd have to do that with any case really. Get a lot of compliments on it.

So it fits alright eh? The bodyglove one didn't seem to snap on correctly, and all the other ones I've seen fit so tight that it tends to seperate the screen portion from the keyboard portion...no issues with fitment for the tmobile version? Can you post a picture of how it looks with the clear case?

I noticed that when I use the spen on this protector I can see the traces on it. As a matter of fact I can still see today the traces from the first time I used the pen close to a month ago. Is anyone having the same problem with invisible shield? What screen protector are y'all using that is not having this problem and where you got it?
Thanks!
I was using a BodyGuardz (similar to the Zagg) and was seeing the same thing. That style just isn't made for a precise point pen like the note has.
I've switched over to an SGP Glass-t and could't be happier with the decision. There's a thread in the forum all about it - but it's basically a glass screen protector and after a short while using it - I wish I would have found them years ago.
i had one on mine (which has since been sold for a white one arriving tomorrow) and it does show traces, but only if you look at it from a serious angle with light reflecting off of it.
the zagg's are made to change shape, etc. which is one of the reasons why they are so durable.
i honestly didn't find any fault with the traces, as i had to truly look for them. a cursory glance wouldn't reveal their presence.
that said, i have ordered a glas.t to test it and see how i like it. i'm a huge fan of zagg and i cannot stand any other type of screen protector.
I hated the traces at first as well, but I only see them when the display is off and at an angle. It doesn't affect the function of the S-Pen or visibility at all. I wish it wasn't quite so "tacky" when drawing on it - I really hope it doesn't affect the durability of the pen's nub in the long run. But for me, protecting the display with something so durable and with a lifetime warranty (and free replacement and application through Best Buy) is worth it.

for reals. i love the feel *EXCEPT* when using the s-pen. i hope they release the HD and smudge-proof versions as they may help alleviate that (though i don't like either as much).
i've put on untold thousands of them in the past 3 years while working there :]

Here's what I'm using. Probably the best SP you can buy once you get over the price. There's no feel to it and it doesn't interfere with the S-Pen or touch.
Spigen SGP Ultra Crystal
Absolutely phenomenal.

I want to try the Glas SGP that modmyphone posted, but the "one shot deal" installation scared me. As well as I don't think my case will fit with.
If it protects my phone I won't care if it's $99, lol
I'm quite happy with the one I got from Ebay seller 'rdstore'. Clear as a bell and the pen doesn't leave any marks. Also, $1.49.
Any of the softwer type ones are going to do this. I just peeled off my ArmourSuit to send back for a new one (life time replacements) but dont know if i'll paply it since it'll just happen again. I love the wet type ones bc they are so easy to apply and zero bubbles. Plus I've grown to love the rubbery feel of them. I will continue to use them for the back of the phone as the rubber texture provides a grippy surface to prevent phone from sliding around, but will have to get one of the thinner nonremovable crappy ones as DrawSomething has left my screen saver looking horrid.
