I just ordered my holster from seidio and all I need is a full body invisible transparent shield for Tilt. I'm having a difficult time trying to determine which brand is a better choices(Bodyguardz, zagg, phantom skinz). So far, I'm leaning toward Bodyguardz full body shield because it seems to protect the chrome corner side part and heard good reviews on surface texture feel.
Any inputs before I order the bodyguardz? Money is not easy to come by for me so I want to make sure before I plunk down hard earned cash. =)
Thanks in advance.
I bought one of them, think it was the bodyguard or flex version. I cant tell you how they hold up though because I ended up destroying mine while trying to put them on. Talk about a pain in the ass.
It was difficult to place them in the right spots and keep out the air bubbles, even using a credit card to squeegee the air out didnt work out to well. Then some how pieces of the larger ones were sticking to themselves while I was trying to put them on. They arent like the simple screen protectors that come with the phone and are very easy to put on.
They need an instructional video for people like me. Id really love to use the full protectors after shelling out the money I did for my Tilt 2, but I wont waste my money on something thats im likely to ruin before I even get on.
Bodyguardz
Bodyguardz is great, feel and protection wise. It is a little difficult to put on but once on correctly it will be worth it. If you use a little water (actually it comes with applicator spray) it will make it easier to position while applying. I used a Best Skins Ever on my Fuze and it was a little sticky while sliding with the finger but this one is almost like the stock protector, but thicker, longer lasting. If you do a search here a xda there is a thread where someone did a very good job showing and explaining how to put it on. GREAT Of course I have Tmous TP2 but I don't think they are that much different.
I finally took the plunge and ordered bodyguardz for my tilt 2. I'll post pictures and post it here. I hope I'll do a good job installing it. I hope the shield will protect the chrome edge part of the tilt2.
have you guys ever heard of GHOSTARMOR. very similar product. these guys show videos of their product actually being scratched and tossed around. They say its made out of the same material they use on military applications. this stuff looks extremely durable from their videos.
http://www.ghost-armor.com
I wonder if bodygaurdz is made out of the same material that GHOSTARMOR uses. Ive been really leaning towards getting GHOSTARMOR for my Sprint TP2.
I have the AT&T Tilt 2 and I love the screen shield that came in the box...does anyone know where to get more?
There was no water needed. Simply apply the shield and VOWLA* (<-check spelling) it fit perfect...

i do like the att screen shield - it is very smooth and feels nice. i bought a 3pack for $10 at the local att store when i picked up my new tilt2. had to ask to find them. i have 3 tiny specks of something on the current one (not bothersome so much), because once you peel the back it attracts everything to them. ive got the second one on and have 1 more before i realized that it had one i the box lol. i just got my 2 pack of body guardz but havent had the time to put it on. must devote my full attention to the process! there are great youtube videos for application tips and also great thread on this somewhere. i am very a very detail oriented person and a flawed application will drive me nuts. anywho i have 2 to try for $20 (i used a 20%) off coupon. will let you know how it goes. i chose bodyguardz cuz everyone said they are very smooth and durable and you get 2 instead of one....
att stock screen guards/got new bodyguardz
this was a dup sorry

I see...
I was actually looking for a screen protector online and in stores and stumbled into the one that AT&T put into the box with the phone. I was soooo excited!
Anyway...I don't know if I can spend $20 on 2 from bodyguardz...it's way too much money. However...you do get a lifetime replacement on them...so it might not be that bad.
Let me know how they come out and if you like them...I'm curious to see how they fit the Tilt 2.
Did you get just the screen protector of the case/phone protectors? They also sell the plastic peices for the back and sides...???
Snap some pics when your done with the application!
Thanks,
so the one that att has out of the box.. does it require cutting? or is it an exact fit?

It should be an exact fit
lol yea.. i actually just got mine today.. so yea found out myself... and i put it on perfectly!! seems like a very legit screen protector... very rearely do i use the screen protectors that come out of the box.. this one is actually well made and durable
id love to see pictures of this. Thanks. I ordered the only case ATT had which is a clear plastic one.
I much rather use this and a leather case so i dont scratch it with the case itself.
Bodyguardz
I bought a pair of Bodyguardz because I was very happy with them on my Raphael. They survived a crash (on the moped) which my denim jeans didn't. I also tried Best skinz ever, but they peel off far to easily. I won't be buying that anymore. Anyway, the BGZ armor has been protecting my phone for almost or over a month now. Still happy with it. I'm not so pleased with the fitting though. The ones for Raphel fit absolutely perfect. the one for Rhodium not so... I have to say I could have done a better job with the pieces on the (front)sides of the phone. But that's easy to say in hindsight. It wasn't very clear how they would fit before application. Now I know better. the screenprotector is the worst part (the way its cut out). However many people complain about the screenprotectors from BSE/BGZ/GA because of the rubber-y-ness and go for the stock one (I f-ed up my stock screenprotector so had no choice, btw I've gotten used to it). Still I would recommend BGZ. BGZ has proven itself to me several times. A crash and several drops on the floor. No damage, no scratch and doesn't peel off that easily.

Thanks
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)
Okay, so I was looking around for a new screen protector for my 8525. Tried a few of the generic "universal" type and they all sucked. Bad.
Then I went to Circuit City the other day, and as I was walking around thinking how stupid it is that so much effort must be put in to finding decent screen protectors given the large amount of large-screened phones out there, I stumbled across the Nintendo DS section.
Bingo.
Even though CC online says $7.99 for the two pack, they were only $4.99 at the store here. They even come with a really nice polishing cloth (similar in squishy-soft goodness to the type that come with a PSP or an iPhone).
These things are crystal clear, people. I used a plastic card rather than the little cardboard crap that came with them to apply them, and boy do they look nice. My wife couldn't even tell I HAD a screen protector on the phone when she first saw it. They have a nice thickness to them and work great with the stylus, too.

Nice find. I'm way overdue on getting screen protectors on two 8525s. (The ones they came with are sheer crap - they leave a fair sized unprotected gap!) The link you posted didn't work. Is this what you bought? http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Peli...sem/rpsm/oid/152027/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

Don't know why that link didn't work, but you found the right one's. You do need to trim them with scissors to fit perfectly...they're a little too big right out of the box.
I took a Nintendo Ds Lite Screen Protector and Cut the right size out works GREAT!!!!
i use the claireview ones.
these dont la t very long. boxwave versions last much longer
+1 for the boxwave, I've been using the anti-glare one for a few months and it's great.
Is there any place that can show a visual difference with the screen protectors?
I use the invisibleshield...go to the website...it really is good!
It seems that the only way to get a full screen protector is to get one that is designed for a larger device and cut it down.
Just about every protector I've seen does not cover the entire screen, there is almost always a small strip of the screen that is not covered.
If this is not the case with some brands, I'd like to know which ones they are!
Invisibleshield - Best screen protectors ever!! Lifetime guarantee too. Plus, they're on sale for half price.

I bought a bunch of different ones thru ebay and love this one that I got now it has lasted over a year and perfect. I have the 8925 Tilt and fits perfect search ebay for Professional Screen Guard on the bottom it says for dopod 838/9000/d600/p100/c800/c858 its the best ive ever had you even have to read the instructions on how to put it on because its three layers.
Put a Martin Fields on my Tilt & it works great. Stiff for good protection, but doesn't decrease screen sensitivity any.
I've got an Exim screen protector from Taiwan via PDA-now thru ebay and am pretty disappointed in the results, especially when it comes to bubble-free installation. It's pretty easily removed and cleaned, but I just could not install it w/o bubbles even though I tried several times. Also, the size was not perfect, and now most of my skinny scrollbar in portrait is unprotected.
I think I will try the G3 screen protector made for 8125:
https://secure.spincaster.com/pdasc...roductdetails.asp?ProductID=402&ProcessType=1
I've used one of these on my Sony Clie for ~6 years and mostly liked it. Pain to install though, but it lasts forever; it actually does not adhere at all, but gets tucked under the sides of the case (it's a little larger than the screen on all sides). So it's pretty much impossible to get bubbles.

Yeah, it can be tricky getting the size just right. I put a new one on a little while ago and got it almost perfect; the one before that had a gap on the bottom from not being cut properly.

UPDATE:
I finally received my invisibleSHIELD the other day. Past by my local kiosk that does the professional install. After 1 hour give or take I went back to the store. Right away the store attendant told me it looked sharp and I had to agree with him. To my surprise it looked better than I thought. I purchased the full body protection and it pretty much wrap the entire body. The kit fits almost perfectly on every curve and holes. The mocha color has a glaze look to it like a coat of glaze you would apply on wood. He told me I shouldn't put it in my pocket or place it in any case for at least 24-48 hours, letting the process take place and reduce the lint and dust. During the first 24 hours, it did felt the rubbery feel to it. It felt awkward at first. However after my first 24 hours, that rubbery feel disappeared / less noticeable. Not sure if I got use to it or it takes a while for the product to settle. Now waiting for ProClip to release its device holder for the T-Mobile version.
Comparison: Screen Protector that came with my HTC Rhodium vs. invisibleSHIELD - no comparison. After couple of days with the stock, there were visible signs of scratches from my nail and stylus. invisibleSHIELD - none. The only thing that the stock has over the invisibleSHIELD is that it was more flush and didn't have any major gap. I can't complain.
Overall: I'm happy with it and I don't have to worry about it getting scratched or dent with the full body kit.
I would strongly advise not getting an invisibleshield. My friend bought one and its not really touch screen friendly. Its very squishy (for lack of a better description) and when using the stylus and or finger on the screen you finger/ stylus gets stuck, almost sticky like. The screen does not react to many of the screen taps or slides.
My friend hated it so much he had to replace it with a generic screen protector (but he kept the rest of the body on.)
Try the Bodyguardz, they're somewhat similar but they are much more responsive and easier to deal with, and you get 2 sets with each one-
http://www.bodyguardz.com/content/accessories/57---2007.htm
I'm waiting for bestskinsever.com to get it. I've been using them ever since I had my Blackberry Curve 8320 and I think they are the best. Works great and without any problems with touch screen devices, I have it on my iPod Touch.
As of right now I'm using the piece of crap one that came with the phone. Got a few scratches on it already, I mean as long as it keeps my screen safe then I don't care.
same here and i hate the one that came with it.
I tried an InvisibleShield on my TP2 last week. It went on easy enough with just a few bubbles that slowly dissipated over a few days, but it is definitely not touch screen friendly - using your stylus with it feels like dragging the stylus through treacle.
Luckily it came off easily enough too....

They also give you two sets with each box, nice if you mess up (like I seem to always do lol).

Hello Scotty,
We plan to add a Skin for the T-mobile Touch Pro2 to our lineup in the future. At this time we don't have an exact availability date to offer. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Thank you for your interest. Please let us know if you have any other questions. We look forward to serving you in the future.

I'm waiting for bestskinsever as well. I just noticed last night that i have minor scuffs that you can't really see on my screen unless you look under a light. I tried to install the original screen protector & it just didn't want to go on.
Oh well.
Bodyguardz...... I have the screen protector and its great!!! "the one that came with it"? I looked at that for a second (us tmo) and it only looked like an template to me...lol
Did you guys buy the full protector or just the screen protector from bodyguardz? How's the full version? Does it fit well?
Hello, I found one that works well. It is from www.clearprotector.com I bought the entire phone protector and am very impressed. I did have to use a heat gun to shrink the edges a little on the battery cover, but that was because I did not align it very well As for the screen, it did feel a little on the sticky side for the first week, but as of now I cant hardly notice it and I personally dont feel that it had made the screen any less responsive. Overall a good investment vs. a beat up phone.

I have also tried the invisable shield. It is a great product...but not for touch screen devices. You have to oil the screen to get your fingers to slide, LOL. I took it all off except for the back cover protection and went back to the factory screen protector till one comes out that "FITS" and works with touch screens

He is saying the surface of the protector is much more "grabby" then the oem protector or protector's like Boxwave and Martin Fields. It is much harder to slide your finger with these types (body guardz, zagg, etc...)
I got news for you, Bestskinsever uses the same material as the zagg stuff.. I ordered a universal cut your own kit. Its just as sticky as Zagg (which I have also owned before)..
So sounds like body guardz is also the same material, yes?
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
http://cgi.ebay.com/Clear-Hard-Skin...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item45ef91bf67

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.

It really doesn't add much bulk at all. I did have the body glove case, and it definitely added a lot of bulk. I keep my phone in my pocket now, but it's def worth the buy.

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 just ordered some phantom skinz, I'll report back when they get here.

I think it fits better than the body glove case. Plus, it looks way better. I've had mine for a while now with no problems. Even take it off a bit to clean it up, and no issues. Check my old thread out...Have pics on post #5.

Hey everyone, I made this post to ask around and see if anyone has tried out the ZAGG Invisible shield for the Mytouch Slide, and what do you all think about it.
I'm thinking of buying it but would like to get some feedback first.

I have it on my slide it has allready saved my screen my daughter dropped mine and it scratched the screen shield and it saved my screen.They have a lifetime warranty they are a little difficult to put on so if you are getting it at a store let them do the install and whatever you do make sure you leave your phone of for 12 to 24 hours. 1 is it helps and all the bubles realease and 2 they use a liquid spray on each piece when they install it.And you dont want anything wet when you turn it back on. I swear by mine. And I live in Utah where they are headquartered.I have an in so I get alot of free skins and stuff.
I wont use any protector that requires a spray or water to apply the protector. I'm waiting for the plastic static cling protectors to come out. I used them on my G1 all the time and they are simple to put on without any bubbles and plus the are pretty cheap. These new rubbery screen protectors feel weird, they say its some high tech military material or some garbage. I just want a simple plastic protector that sticks to the screen with no solution. There's a ton for the G1 I dont know why they havent released any for the slide yet.
I'm not too sure about Invisible Shield, but I recently installed a bodyguardz full body protector on my slide and so far I love it. The major advantage I see over invisible shield is that, for about the same price, bodyguardz gives you two sets of protectors in case you botch the first installation (which I did). Overall, after a few days after the second installation I only have a few small bubbles and I actually love the feel of it overall... since installing the protector, I have found it much more easier to type accurately in swype, but that may just be me. There is also no negative effect on the touch screen in any way if you were worried about that.

Thanks a lot! I actually never even thought to check T-Mobile and the last time I checked e-bay all I could find are those new ones that require that spray or water. I just bought these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...Category=20336&_trkparms=algo=LVI&its=I&otn=2 I'll let you guys know how they are. I can also tell you NOT to order these http://www.amazon.com/EZguardZ-T-Mo..._1_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1278542660&sr=8-1 I bought them and they are trash, literally thats where they ended up in my trash lol.
Thanks for the info, and everyone's feedback, I went ahead and decided to get the ZAGG shield full body, try it out and see what happens, I tried the T-mobile ones and they just had too many scratches too quick, hopefully ZAGG won't let me down.

invisable shielde
whats up man. i just wanted to let you know about my personal expirences with invisible shields. i personally have had one on every htc phone ive ever owned (touch pro, touch pro II, HD2, and now the mytouch slide 3G) and i love pretty much everything about them. they seriously are nearly scratch proof and honestly, during a fall it will protect your phone for the most part. installation can be a pain in the a$$, but you just have to brave about it and use plenty of the spray. use it ilberally on the actual shield and your finger-tips and it will make it pretty easy to position it. on the back peice just go ahead and soak that thing cuz its hard to get it right the first time. luckily if you do mess up, these things come with a lifetime replacement warrenty. all you have to do is give them back the old shield and they'll hook you up with a brand new one . once you figure it out though you'll appreciate it a lot. it gives the phone a really nice feel and it keeps it really well protected. me personally, i like to pair a full body invisible shield with a regular t-mobile screen protector. the reasoning behind this is, one, that ive discovered that it is nearly impossible to get the screen portion of the invisible shield on without bubbles underneth it for some reason (possibly because of how slick the screen is compared to the body of the phone?). and two, a touch screen is meant to be glided around on. it should be nice and slick and feel extremely smooth tothe touch, not all rubbery and sticky when warm. and finally, because it just plain looks better, straight up. your not going to get the same clean look of the plastic protector as you are from an invisible shield. yes the standard protectors are easier to scratch, but thats why they come in three packs. so you can replace em when nessesary. i find it easiest to place the protector down on the screen and position it properly, then take a piece of scotch tape and tape the side. that way you can peel up the backing and lay it down properly with a credit card as to get it perfectly positioned and without bubbles. if you follow my instructions you should be able to install with ease . ive really liked every invisible shield ive had, and the only problem ive found with them is that after time the edges of the shield will get dirty because of the adhesive on the back slowly being pressed out over time. that and the edges sometimes come up. but thats why they come with a warrenty, so you can replace em all you want . i tend to replace mine every 4 to 6 months. in the end i found that its a worth it investment if your the kind of person that wants to protect your phone but doesnt want to add a bunch of bulk to the phone from a case. it really allows the beauty of the phone to come out while still being protected. anyways, i hope my review will help you with your installation and help anyone else reading with their choice on wheather or not to purchase an invisible shield. i really like mine, and i hope you like yours too. enjoy
I have had the invisible shield on my last 3 phones and it is clean, discrete and it does everything that it is suppose to. I personally pay the extra money to have the representative put it on for me and call it a day. You will not be disappoint in the product and the others are just plain cheap and inefficient.

yeah i ordered mine Monday of last week and they just shipped it Tuesday of this week. Very slow processing time.
Went to the local ZAGG store and they finally had it, and I got it lol, now I got one and one coming in the mail, but I must say the full body extreme coverage is nice, feels a bit rubbery but the grip is awesome! So I must say my hat is off to you ZAGG.

That's the one that I ordered. The full body extreme. And the rubbery feeling should be nice since the phone is so slippery anyway.
Where can you buy these locally? I don't want to put my own on.

Ghost Armour all the way
I ordered one, came in the mail, this was the first Zagg Invisible Shield that I had put on perfectly. I left it for 24 hours to sit and dry and now it's perfect!
