The TP2 relies on much more touch-screen action than previous T-Mobile HTC devices, e.g. Wing. I am trying to find the pros/cons of using a screen protector for the TP2, but so far, not finding much. Is a screen protector really that important for a TP2? I am ok with not using one, but if one is necessary, can anyone tell me why? I wonder if a screen protector is more of a personal choice than a technical necessity...
I find a screen protector is more of personal preference, i use it for peice of mind so i dont have to be extra careful when using my screen and also when i play music on my tp2 i put it facedown as the speakers are on the back and i have done that before on a previous phone and scratched the screen as there was dirt on the table. also if you put it in your pocket without its cover and you forget about coins or keys in there, you can say goodbye to your nice shiny screen. So i know if the screen ever gets scratched i just peel off the protector ansd put a new one on.

I've had my TP2 for about three months now and i've not used a screen protector. I'm quite carefull with the device and i use the pouch every time i put it in a pocket.
I'd like a matte screen protector because fingerprints annoy me to no end, waiting on boxwave to make one because when I had the mogul I used those and they were awesome... but uhm yeah I don't think it's necessary if you're careful with it. Most people I know with the iphone don't use one, and the screen seems similar. There's always that chance you leave you phone in your lap and get up and then BANG (yeah that definitely just happened to my Mogul last week) so I keep a screen protector on just in case. Performance wise, I don't notice it being less responsive when I use the protector, but then again I haven't used it without one much... Isn't there a CAB somewhere to boost touch sensitivity? Wonder if it will work on this...
You want to try the full body shield by zagg they are based in utah where i am from and their crap is the best quality and lifetime warranty
The Zagg one is still being developed, I wonder if the bodyguardz one is just as good...
Brando Screen Protector
I ordered the Brando Screen Protector however i noticed TMO TP2 is different from the other ones being sold. I wonder if anyone has been able to make it the Brando Screen protector work with the TMO TP2.
Product Code: MUCSP041200 for the Touch Pro 2
mobile.brando.com
I'm using the stock screen protector that comes with the tmo version. It was kind of hard to fit on the screen because it is so perfectly cut to the size of the screen and plastic all the way around the buttons and earpiece. It's been fine so far, I ordered a couple off ebay when I got the phone but I think I'm gonna just keep the stock one on there.
Clearprotector uses the same "stuff" as Zagg and they have a T-Mobile TP2 version.

I ordered one and I didn't like the fit. It didn't go all the way to the edges. The top and bottom were too short.
I stuck the bundled one back one since it has a perfect fit. Only problem I have is I somehow made to tiny creases/bumps which is causing to small air bubbles on the edge.
I would not use a device like this without a good screen protector. I used to not care until I got a scratch on the screen protector of my last phone from an unexpected drop and scrape. It would have ruined my screen.
The stock screen protector is very good, it just takes a surgon to put it on because it is laser precise and perfectly cut to the screen. I had to use a razor blade to trim about 1 to 2mm off the left edge to get rid of an air pocket that was resting on about a 1mm lip. (I don't suggest trying it if you don't have a steady hand)
But I'm looking at a full body screen protector to put on next. I ordered a rubber snap on cover, but I don't want to ruin the look and feel of the device. And the phone is big enough already - don't want to make it more bulky. I've been seeing one on ebay saying that it's used to coat helicoptor blades and has a lifetime warranty and all that. Just waiting for someone to order one and review it.

I also got this screen protector from Brando (same model as yours, as far as I can tell) for my T-Mo TP2...and it doesn't quite fit properly -- it's obviously made for the international/original version with the curved chrome trim on the front. That is, it fits on the phone, but the top and bottom of the front outside the screen aren't covered. And I had to trim out the ear-speaker hole on the protector a little because apparently the distance between the bottom-buttons and the ear-speaker are different between the intrntnl and the TMo versions.
Still, I'm using it anyway (even though it looks funky) just so I can protect that beautiful screen...but when/if one is specifically made for the TMo TP2 I'll get that one.
Other than not fitting exactly right, I do like the protector clarity and sensitivity, and I was able to apply it without bubbles.
UPDATE:
OK, I see now that I ordered what I thought was the same protector, but I ordered mine from "shop.brando.com", rather than "mobile.brando.com" -- What's the difference -- more than one brando.com site?? And my product code is different. (SUCSP083500 vs MUCSP041200)
Looking again at the shop.brando.com page for the product I ordered -- 10 days after I ordered it and 3 days after I received it -- that while the T-Mobile version is listed under intended "Models" there's also a footnote saying it's not compatible with the T-Mobile version. I don't think that footnote was there when I ordered it.
I wonder if the version sold at the mobile.brando.com site, Product Code MUCSP041200 really fits the T-Mo TP2? If so, I'll go ahead and order one...or 2.
I don't see that screen protectors have been discussed recently, so I'm looking for suggestions/experiences for screen only protectors (I'm a flip case kind of gal, so I have no worries about the body).
I'm one of those weirdos who is very careful (and lucky) with cell phones, so I'm looking for something with minimal interference with the screen sensitivity. I'm defecting back after 2 years of using an iPhone without a single scratch on the screen (nor are there any scratches on my 8525 or my Treo or the 8125) in spite of extensive use, and I'm already loving being able to use my fingernails again
I'll greatly appreciate any suggestions/experiences on what's worked well . . . or what hasn't worked. Ease of application is a plus as my 8525 to this day has a tiny bubble I never was able to eliminate . . .
Also, I hope this is an appropriate place to express my gratitude for this forum. When I found it, I was vacillating between the Tilt 2 & the LG eXpo, and comments here nudged me into my decision: I brought my Tilt 2 home yesterday
TIA!
The screen protectors that AT&T sell for the Tilt 2 work really well, are easy to apply, and are a good deal (3 for $10).
I briefly used the AT&T-supplied screen protector. I switched to an eBay full-body protector, but was unhappy with the way it was cut - didn't fit the Tilt2 very well. I replaced that with the BodyGuardz full body protector and it's a much better fit. I recently removed the BodyGuardz screen protector (but still using the body protector) and installed an anti-glare screen protector from Boxwave.
I had no complaints about screen sensitivity with any of them. The original AT&T screen protector and the one from Boxwave feel "slick", are a more rigid plastic and they didn't really adhere to the screen very well around the edges. The ebay one and the BodyGuardz feel a bit "rubbery", adhere better to the screen and any bubbles will work themselves out after a day or so.
I don't really have a preference one over the other - for me it came down to a preference for a less glossy screen.
Hy! You can try and have a look about what other are saying here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605241 or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=571172 or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=594029
In short, there are 3 majors options:
Zagg's Invisible Shield - found here http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-tilt-2-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
Bodyguardz - found here http://www.bodyguardz.com/content/accessories/1-12--2393.htm
Gadget Shieldz - found here http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/att-ti...nvisible-shields-screen-protectors-skins.html
The main difference between them is the price, the first 2 cost 25$ each, but Bodyguardz offers 2 kits and both sellers offer lifetime warranty, third is pretty much the same but whitout the fancy package and alot more cheaper.
Try reading all the topic's I gave you and you will find some discount coupons for each seller. The rest is up to you to decide which one suits you better!
Cheers!
Check out WMExperts store
@ sslund,
I can totally appreciate your minor obsession over the "right" screen protector for your device. When I first recieved my TP2, I was using the crappy Rocketfish iPhone screen protectors that I would cut to size. They provided good scratch protection but there was a lot of color separation, meaning they kind of scintillated a red-green pattern over the display which sucked. I then tried the ATT's offering which I didn't like either.
On a whim I bought these from WMExperts Store and have been very happy with them. I cannot post the link as per forum rules, but search their site for "Smartphone Experts Screen Protectors (3-Pack) for AT&T Tilt2"
They do not scratch unlike some of the cheaper Fellows products, nor are they really even noticeable. They are removable, washable, and can be reapplied, which I've successfully done - as long as you're patient in the drying process so as to not get dust stuck to them (air dry), re-application actually works! I did have to cut the sides down a bit as it was just a hair too wide, but that's more of a personal preference. Since they are removable, I've only used one of the three since I got my TP2 in October.
Of course YMMV, but given em a shot and good luck!
I really like my body guardz. thicker and doesnt have a smuge if i touch it like the one that came with the phone.
I would like to install a new shield on my screen but I can't tell if the original is removable and what the recommended method of removal would be if it is.
Clarivue ultra clears are REALLY nice and clear and tough. They come two to a pack. I cought some from a guy on ebay for like $9 shipped. They were real retail clarivues.

If you are referring to the flimsy protective film that ships on the device? It is removable. Otherwise you would need to try and look through the message that is pre-printed on it.
If you mean the protector that is shipped in the box, well that is also removable if you have attached it.
If you mean ANY screen cover, then the answer is still yes. They are all removable.
Use your finger nail, a toothpick, a credit card, or similar device to pry it off of the screen.
Very simple and rudementary.
I'm looking for pre-cut screen protectors for my htc pure any ideas where i can get some?
I use Zag Invisible Shield, make sure you get it for Pure not TD 2, or you'll have to modify it a little.
I also use the Zagg Invisible Shield.
You can also get screen protectors at the AT&T store, precut to fit the PURE. They are made by case-mate, sell for $9.99, 3 in the pack with a screen cleaning cloth.
Not affiliated to this vendor in any way.
Ordered last week, arrived in 2 days (even allowing for poor weather & Christmas run up).
Perfect fit with full retail packaging, instructions & cleaning cloth

Do these have a slight curve on the bottom to properly fit the SanFran because in the pic they look straight?
TIA
Yes they are curved at the bottom, I guess they just used a stock image for the advert.
Additionally I should add that they are obviously cut for the SF as they are longer than the i900 ones that people have been using & they cover the whole screen, including black surround right up to the buttons.
They are currently £4.95 for 6 including postage, they must be popular as the price has risen since I got mine.
Excellent, just what I wanted to know, TYVM.
The cheapest I think
I found this "standart" ( samsung i900 ) screen protectors on eBay.
Item id 200542528537
Just 1.44$ for 5 items + Fiber clothing. Ordered but didn't received yet.
Hi all, this is my first ever post:
I find a Samsung i900 screen protector fits perfectly, I have one on my ZTE Blade now!
If anyone has noticed, Invisibleshield is selling Screen Protector or Full Body made especially for ZTE Blade.
Does the screen without the protector get scratched very easily? I just bought my Blade and not sure if I should buy the protector or not.
I had the protector on my Omnia 2, but I thought that the screen on Blade is better.
Even if the screen is tough, it's common sense to protect it. A screen protector worth a couple of pounds might just save you having to replace the screen/phone.
Use them all the time screen is still as new and I use my step for work
Sent from my Blade using XDA Premium App
Dont like my protectors from ebay because I can only use every second .
The stickers on the protectors leave big marks on them.
I dont like to use screen protectors, the screen never feels right.
Hello,
My s7 is on the way and I was planning to get a proper case on it[Suggestions welcomed] since its all glass
But I can't figure if I should get a normal screen guard or a tempered.
Earlier on my nexus 5 i always went for tempered glass and used to have a Spigen cover on it and yet its broken[THE SCREEN]
i Plan to be extra careful with my phone now and take good care of it.
i feel if i install a case and a tempered glass on it the front screen protection provided by the case gets changed to cause the tempered glass is sticking out.
So shall i just apply a normal screen guard and a good case? would that be enough?
Also i stay in INDIA[MUMBAI] so i might not have acesss to all the cases and tempered glasses, my friend suggested to apply the glass from samsung store it self, it would be pricey but if its worth it, i'll go for it.
I use tempered glasses from Aliexpress and happy about it. I think it's safest option. Buy one from Aliexpress which has nice reviews:good:
Hmmm I'll have a look. Thanks

Do you have any recommendation? I could only find the tempered glass that:
1. Not cover the whole screen, or
2. Cover the whole screen but no sticky part at the screen (to easy to peeled accidentaly)
3. Not really a glass (maybe plastic)
Thanks.

Do let us know which one did you buy? I am also from India.
Hello, I'm using the normal plastic screen protector from the local store with a case which gently covers the front. Kinda like a armour case. I guess s7 doesn't have full screen cover
With air rwssistance
