Ive got this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3463730&postcount=185 case 4 one month. Im flashin much and need to remove this case permanently. So ive notice that after several removing the glitter parts of my HD are not so glitter more This case leaves visible worn spots on glitter parts of device. That is really sad cuz ive bought it 4 protection and it makes opposite.
So i wanna know about your experience in scratches'n'spots avoidance.
And one more thing. Can smb advice a good paste 2 polish up glittes pieces my HD? Or smth what makes em look better (4 scratches, spots removing).
Thanks 4 attention!
To remove polish traces, use a white rubber, afterwards clean with a micro-textile cloth (such as used for cleaning your glasses, camera lens, etc.).
Thanks 4 advice! im gonna try it.
Can i use polich paste 4 CD to remove scratches from device case? Have someboby tryed it?
If its any comfort my HD looks like its been dragged around the track by Ben-Hur....but it still works perfectly. From my experience the device will be redundant and ready to replace with a newer model way before it becomes so roughed up that you would call it ugly
Anyway DO NOT use any of the magic polishes on the Touch screen as I have heard that it does more damage than good...and I am talking about the special pastes you buy to actually touch up your mobile phone screen.
Good luck....

I can only help u with the avoiding part I also have those crystal cases, even got 2 of em 1, still not used but I thought it would never absorb any shocks in case I accidentally drop my HD so i bought those silicon cases. I prefer this better than the hard plastic one. And to top it all, I have clear-coat in my HD. So clear-coat + silicon case = Good overall protection + little shock absorber.

great protection you have! and do you use complete clear coat cuz ive read thats ist pretty hard to stick it without bubbles?
I installed Zagg's InvisibleShield on my HD and have no scratches anywhere even though I sometimes keep my phone with my keys. Took more than an hour to install, but it is a perfect fit now. No bubbels, just a shiny back. The rubbery feel went away after +/- 3 weeks of use by the way. I'd recommend this over any silicone or plastic casing.
PS. Before you order, Google for some Zagg discount codes. Some save you up to 50%, others 15%. Any discound is good, ey?

It took me about 2 hours to apply all (never installed full protection ever before) but I did manage to do a good job. I think I may have 2-3 bubbles on those tight corners but it never bothered me because I don't see it (everything except the screen is covered with the silicon case) i dont think I will remove the silicon case as I really believe my HD is safer with it.

Certainly not if you have scratches but it does work to remove pollish traces with a white plastic rubber - that even works on a car.
I got this from slickdeals.net and its on Zagg's webpage as well:
Zagg.com offers 50% off all invisibleSHIELD Products on their site today. Shipping is free if you spend $30 or more, otherwise it starts at $2.99.
Thanks! None of the local stores carry the one for the TP2, and I didn't want to pay shipping. With the 50% off, I'll order two, and have a spare!
Why would you buy 2? It has a lifetime warranty. I ordered it for my fuze and had it replaced 3 times already for free (only payed shipping).
I have been meaning to get one of these for both myself and for my wife's iPhone 3G. Just hadn't done it yet. With the savings I was able to order one for my Tilt 2 AND a customized one for her. She should be ecstatic when she gets it and sees what I put on.
How hard are these things to apply correctly (i.e. straight and without bubbles)? No matter how hard I try I always seem to get a couple of bubbles under the normal screen protectors. Either a bubble or more often a tiny something or other stuck to the underside of the protector that causes it to bubble up around it.
I ordered a full body protector from clearprotector.com using a 50% off coupon couple days ago. No bubbles because I have to wet it before apply to the phone. Work great so far.

If you want to get rid of the bubbles the best thing to use is a card (like a credit card).
I got a replacement for my Fuze a few weeks ago and they sent me a new body kit but without the rubber squeegee and the spray. This time they sent me a sealed soaked sponge and a card to remove the bumps.
The first time I put the body kit on it came out like crap. There were bubbles and imperfections everywhere but the second time it came out a lot better. The card takes out all the bubbles. It took me about 45 minutes to put it on the entire kid but I took my time because I wanted it to look nice.
I also ordered the gadgetshieldz full body kit as well. It was only $5 so I'm skeptical on how good it might be.
simple...if I have to send one back for warranty, I can use the spare until it comes in. I DO NOT want to scratch the screen, like I did on my old tilt a couple years ago, when the supplied at&t one fell apart.

You only have to send it back AFTER you receive your replacement. And they give you 25 days to mail it back, so you're in the clear.
Just lookin to save you $

Yeah, I do use a card. Like I said, it seems like as often as not a manage to get a tiny piece of dirt or something under it no matter how careful I try to be. I also ordered their cleaning wipes to push the total over $30 so I could get free shipping so I will make sure to wipe it down good and try wearing gloves and see if that will help.
Ahhh..no worries...I'll sell the other one to one of the guys at work who is getting one after Christmas

When you guys put these wet apply's on, before you let it set are there small bubbles? Like when I put my Skinomi on, I pushed out all the smaller bubbles I could. But there were still a few I couldn't get out. After about two days they were still there? So are you to keep applying it until there are no smaller bubbles? or once it sets they're suppose to vanish? Also I noticed when I applied it, the skin itself or behind it was really cloudy, I used the spray that came with it and cleaned the tablet before hand. It cleared up some after two days but it still was noticeable. Is this normal? I followed the instructions that came in the tube and watched their video before trying it. I ended up removing the protector and calling Skinomi support for a replacement. I just wanted to know if this is normal, as this is my first wet apply.
On my phones, I can pretty much always get all bubbles out during the application process.
Once dried, they look perfect (usually ).

I'll be trying this out on the TF too. I hope it doesn't go all wrong, lol.
You returned the G2x also? How's the HD2 holding up?
Hey guys. Just wanted to let you know that Ghost Armor has finally made a shield for the Rezound. I might be checking this out soon.
i had them do a custom screen for me. guess its time to get it redone. thanks for the heads up!
If anyone gets the full body coverage, please put up some pictures. I'd like to see how they do the battery cover, since the cover isn't a smooth surface.
I wouldn't do the back, even if the offer it. Why cover a non slip surface with a smooth slippery material? Don't get me wrong I loved the full body armor on my TP2 but the back of that device was smooth hard plastic. The rubbery film added grip to that device.
I asked the guy at the Ghost Armor kiosk at the mall and he said he'd have it next week.
Never heard of ghost armor. Can someone elaborate please.

Try Google, then search "Ghost Armor, HTC Rezound"
Worked for me.
It's not slippery at all. They even have carbon fiber films

Got mine installed yesterday at the mall. Overall I like it, and I like the warranty, but taking it back today for a re-do - did not dry clear.

Did you do the back?

Nope, just the screen.
Update: The first protector they guy put on didn't dry well and left a haze. I went back the next day and after a couple of tries he put another one on - no charge. Looked much better at first. When I got back to the office I noticed that it looked like I had water UNDER my SCREEN. Called the guy and he told me to bring it in. Went directly back and sure enough, some of the liquid they use to put the protector on (soap and water) got under the top layer of the screen. He put my phone in his dryer for about a half and hour and it had already started to look better. By the next day it was gone completely.
I'm a glutton for punishment; I'll go back and let him try one more time.

Maybe it's that lip around the glass.
Almost like the case was fit around the bezel, if that makes sense?
I was actually thinking of how installing to edge of the screen would go. I'll probably order this weekend.
i would, but i have otterbox defender series, so, there is no point. lol
As far as look and feel, is this similar to the Zagg invisibleSHIELD? Personally I can't stand the Zagg stuff! It's almost impossible to put on and after some time the edges collect lint if you keep the phone in your pocket.

IMHO, better than Zagg. Less orange peel.
I really want to see the white carbon fiber full body kit. I wonder if they make one for the full body extended battery.
Here is a video I found of a guy that got the Black Carbon fiber put on his Rezound...... looks pretty sweet. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2XDwxcnSZk
Okay, so, I have a Gray Prime that is decent enough (haptic feedback doesn't work, but the screen is excellent with little bleed, speakers are great, wifi/GPS/BT are typical), except that the backplate came from the factory with a number of pretty significant smudges. It almost looks stained, but I'm hopeful that with the right method I might be able to clean it up.
Any ideas? Just using a microfiber cloth didn't remove the marks, nor did using water by itself.
I noticed this also from oil from fingers n such on backplate. Maybe a non acidic solution of some sort. Don't want to use anything that will eat away St backplate over time. Cloth n water seemed to work initially. Only real solution tl this is tl clean backplate then out a case on it. LR you'll always be cleaning it. At least the included cloth works great on the screen. Wipes screen clean very easily.

Note that this isn't just fingerprints I'm talking about. Those have been pretty easy to wipe off on the other Primes I've had. These are what look like stains, but as I've scrubbed them SOME parts come off and others don't. It looks like someone at the factor was handling some kind of chemical and didn't wash his/her hands before handling the backplate.

I had some glue or something on the back of mine.
If you are one of the minority of non believers, be very, very careful that you do not remove the serial number sticker.
use non-scented hand sanitizor. I always use it to clean my HTC sensation. I also clean my screen, which has never hurt my zagg invishield.

Probably wouldn't use hand sanitizer on a screen, as it contains alcohol. It can/will discolor your screen. However, hand sanitizer, or rubbing alcohol (in controlled amounts) would be just fine for the aluminum. I worked for a sign shop for 5 years and we used denatured alcohol on all metals. It can eat paint if used in large doses, but on a cotton swab, it should be just fine. Don't use it on the screen side though.. Just a bit of water and a micro fiber cloth..
I use baby wipes to clean the back

I have kids, so I have used baby wipes on a couple occasions.. Great for if you're cleaning your tools of oil! However, they seem to leave a bit of a "slick" residue afterwards.. And I'm talking about using clean wipes, not used..
Um, wipe with baby wipe, then dry it off and no residue

I can assure you, it works flawless with out any issues. Nothing works better that i have found. i have cleaned numerous phones and my rooted nook color. Ive had it for 6 months and clean it weekly.
