THANKS.. Just ordered one..

15% off
I got this too. For less than $6 with free shipping,you really can't beat that. I hope it's good. I've been using the Invisiblesheild for my past 3 phones, it works really nice if you take the time to put it on correctly but it costs a lot more than this.
Mine just came in the mail yesterday. I've been using Invisiblesheild for several of my devices and to be honest with you I can't tell the difference. The only major differences between this and Invisiblesheild is that it does not come in the fancy box with the spray, squeegee, applicator card etc. Just a plain envelope with the product. Since it only cost $5-6 its hard not to recommend this.
honestly i found this one harder to put on, and eventually i wasnt able to...
that and this feels.. thinner than invisible shield, but not that much. the texture is also slightly different...
overall for 6 bucks its a good deal lol
Installed
I just finished installing it, and yeah the front was difficult... kind of rushed to back and have a bubble or two but no biggie. I took my time on the front and it is curing right now! I will try and get pictures but it will be later next week, after Christmas!
Oh and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays y'all!
Please post detailed pictures and if possible a scratch test. I was looking at bodyguardz but this is a cheap alternative I am willing to consider if available for T7373 also (not branded). Also tell me if it arrived just 1 set or 2 sets like bodyguardz and if the touch screen's sensitivity is somehow affected?
EDIT:
20% discount coupon - PPCSG20
I will try
MightyCrys I apologize I am out of town, however, I will try to get a camera from a family member! As far as screen sensitivity - I have noticed no depreciable difference in that area. The screen definitely has a different feel due to the skin's thickness, but I do not see this as an issue. My fingers sort of drag on the surface on the skin, but it does not impede function by any means. My stylus use is very limited but the stylus is usable with the appropriate amount of pressure.
Also you receive 1 shield only, but at 6.99 (w/o discounts) I still find it hard not to recommend.
You are right about the price, it's the best aspect but my main problem is that is only made for carriers branded phones and not for the unbranded european T7373 which I have and don't want to be doing some cutting myself..
I see
I see that now, didn't realize they were only for the carrier branded models. If you try requesting it on the GadgetShieldz website they can probably accommodate your needs. That is what I did for the Tilt 2, but whether it was my request or the fact that they were gonna make one anyway I really dunno haha!
Hope you find something to suit your needs!
I already left a message on their site, but so far no answer. .
Although it's strange to me that they didn't do a shield for the original device as well
If you can, please put some pictures of your TP2 with the shield on
I'd love to see some pics of installed product, thanks.
For anyone interested in bodyguardz, now is a good time to order. They already include the 25% discount for Christmas and if you use coupon 155A6 you get another 20% off!!

ZAGG 50% Off On InvisibleSheild Products!
I used one of this company's body protectors on my Duo, the thing was amazing. I know the description is kinda lame, but the protection kicks ass. Was hard to put on the curved parts of my phone's body (like all of these protectors are), but the screen protector is as easy to apply as any I've seen, and once you get it all on, it stays.
Ebay link for full body protection
Ebay link for screen protector only
Note: This isn't my auction, I was just browsing and saw that they had these available already.
Let me know how it fits your G1. I'm interested to know how they did it with the phone not out yet. Even the Invisible Shield guys (the "pioneers" of this kind of protector) are delaying til someone volunteers them a G1 for measurement after the release date.

What he said.... plus will the keyboard still slide? can we get to the reset button (if there is one)? does it come off easy or will it be a 2 hr process if we want to pull the SIM card?
Most of these full-body protectors come in several pieces that cover the whole phone, but still allow slides, buttons, etc. to work just fine.
My problem (and the reason I'm going with the invisible shield at zagg.com) is that some of these companies don't really cover the whole phone or even bother with the corners. Invisible shield covers everything.
And they're good for one use (but rock solid). They can be removed, but not generally repositioned since after they dry the first time, removing them stretches them out of shape.

That's how this one was for my Duo, and as for covering the whole phone it did that well. As for trying it on my G1, I don't have a G1 so that'd be quite difficult.

I know, man. That's one reason I trust the zagg people more...because they're actually waiting til the phone is released so they can get measurements. The get a lucky(?) volunteer to ship the phone to them and they custom-make the shield, install it, and ship it back, all for free. Then they have the measurements and can sell them to everybody. I'm a little wary of guys who claim to have a TBS before the phone is out.
I looked at "clear coat" I think. Some of their iPhone/touch/wtf ever protectors didn't even make it to the corners of the device. But the Invisible Shield brand covered everything but the ports. That's kinda what I'm looking at...but I'd be more than willing to pay less for something identical.

Haha, that always pissed me off that they made a customer send theirs in. Really, buy the ****ing phone and return it a day later, it's not hard. As for the G1, they're not hard to get... There are probably 10 on eBay that aren't pre-release, it's just that people don't bother to look.
Yeah, it's the slower process, but it's a guarantee that the shield will be 100% right for the phone. We are talking total-body protector, rather than just screen protector.
And if phones are being gouged on ebay for $600-1000 when there's just a little more than a week before anybody and his brother can get one, I can understand the wait. They sell shields; they're not in the phone-buying business. They've got a decent business model, even if it doesn't suit the impatient.
Edit: Someone on the tmonews forums got the "clear protector" brand from an ebay vendor. It comes in two pieces and doesn't cover the sides or corners.
i ordered one at e-bay and already have it home. im courios how its gonna fit a screen. but best thing is i spend only 0.01$ with free shippingfor it
Pre-Order a Zagg?

Interesting...
They must've gotten their volunteer. I know a guy on tmonews was actively courting them for his free shield.
For those looking to pre-order an invisible shield, here's a 20% off coupon code: "xxxxxx" (Code no longer works)
They're selling for just under $20 and this code gives almost a $4 discount.

yeah I ordered mine already... I talked to them on the phone and they told me that if someone was willing to pay for shipping the phone both ways they would probably make them a shield for free and install it so that they can get the measurements early... so if you have a phone and want a shield call them and see what you can work out...
wow, that looks pretty cool. Next paycheck i'm going to order one of those for my G1, my psp slim, and maybe for my Zen.
zagg.com emailed me and said that my shield was mailed... I am impressed... that was really fast.
BodyGuardz vs. IS
interested in what you all think of Invisible shield vs boadyguardz? i keep reading that IS gives more of an orangepeel effect whatever that means lol.
anyone tried them out fo real and not just looked at them?
It's been reported that the Invisible Shield guys (zagg.com) are giving a 40% discount on Halloween day if you order with the discount code "scary40".

I ordered the Bodygaurdz after reading a review of the two
the orangepeel effect is supposed to be seen as a negative thing making the screen harder to see, like a type of haze. The bodygaurdz is supposed to be tougher than the IS and shouldn't tear/scratch as easy. Also reviewed as more invisible/transparent too. I should receive it in a couple days and will post some photos before and after and let you know my real thoughts about it.
I like that you get 2 full body protectors for $24 and the shipping was free from bodygaurdz direct website.

my shield got here last night and I put it on and it looks really nice... I wish the front part had been one piece but I guess it works the way it is. With it on the screen actually feels more responsive and easier esp when scrolling.
There is a place by my house that sells IS and puts it on for you. The owner stopped by my store and gave me a card to get one for free. So I hit them up today and got it put on. So far its not bad but there are some rough edges. They told me it would smooth out in a few days after its "Cured". They also said not to put it in your pocket for 2 days. I will report back in a few days to see how it goes.
Where do you live? I am thinking of taking my off because I messed up and having someone else do it for me. Sadly while I was doing it the door bell rang and I had to answer it... well needless to say I had to reapply the screen piece again and now it is kinda funky... Other than that it is good I am just hoping the screen cures.
Ok... Am I the only one who cant seem to find anything for this phone? No cases (besides the Body Glove which doesnt fit 100% and the gel skin you can buy at the T-mobile store) No cradles, no mounts, nothing pretty much no concern on T-mobile's part to make any nice things for this phone. I know its fairly new but c'mon the Mytouch launched with sky divers and and plenty of skins and cases and even a zipper cloth box. I paid alot and waited alot for this phone now i dont have any options on what to get. All that ebay stuff for the unbranded version from what i hear does not fit the T-mobile version any help or any posting of actual T-mobile touch pro 2 accessories and sites would help. Sorry for the ranting i feel a little better im kinda new at this so please try to keep the flaming to a minimum lol thanks. By the way the phone rocks!!!!
body glove case for tp2
I am one of those that purchased it for $25 at tmobile last Friday and I am the first to say I hate it. While it feels nice, the top part keeps coming off. Also, I noticed the "proximity sensor" (shuts off screen when you put it against your face when you make a phone call) does NOT work with this case. Looks like I'm returning it tmw. I'd love to find cover for tp2. So paranoid of breaking my tp2 with 4 kids.
i hear ya man thanks for chiming in. I was looking to get that case but i too didnt think much of it besides your right about the proximity sensor some people have drilled a small hole to compensate for what body glove didn't do. i did however stumble across this site : http://www.thinktouchpro2.com/tmobile.html
its the only site as far as i know that actually states that they have a dock for the t-mobile version of the touch pro 2 um yay?
Check out Golla bags on Ebay, I'm loving the one I got. Fits the phone perfect with another pocket for cards, and a zip pocket for cash or headphones. $5-7 shipped.
Maybe one of T-Mobile's ways of trying to get everyone to switch to Android.
Have you seen all of the MyTouch accessories @ Walmart.
Yeeeeeeesh!
yes i have its crazy how they are pushing these android devices i actually had a g1 for about 5 months and dont get me wrong i like android but the possibilities on a windows phone as far as programs and tweaking are endless. I need windows and i was so patiently waiting for the touch pro since my birthday is aug 13th and it dropped on the 12th it was my birthday gift to myself.
Hi all:
I finally found a great looking case http://www.fortte.com/scr/showproduct.php/1111?type=0 . It is made by Fortte. Unfortunately I can't afford it (wish I could ), but I thought I'd pass it on to you guys in case someone is looking. I also received a coupon code for 31% off on any order. Code is Spooktacular, and is valid til 11/9.
PS: This case is VERY cool also http://www.fortte.com/scr/details-1130/HTC Touch Pro 2.html
They also have the standard vertical and horizontal cases.
great looking case
It's too bad, I just ordered the Maya II last night. I would have gotten this one instead.
Yeah, I thought it looked very cool. I have been searching for a nice case since before I even got my Tilt 2. Sadly I lost my job last week, so I won't be buying this case; as it is I probably shouldn't have splurged on the Tilt 2, but I got a very good deal and had been wanting it for so long I couldn't help myself.
Not bad, I do agree that it is a bit pricey.
I bought the clear plastic case from the a&t store but returned it the following day because the built in screen protector would stick to the screen when using showing a horrible "puddling" effect. Hopefully some more cases at least variety of them, are in the works. I am a bit timid only having the oem screen protector on my phone atm.
I just spoke to some folks at Seidio today and they notified me that their system has a note that the Tilt 2 for AT&T will never be produced as per their Product Management team.
This is an incredible let-down for myself, and I find it hard to believe that they can't just modify the case currently for the HTC Touch Pro 2 to allow for the PTT key, and sell everyone that case regardless of your service provider.
Anyways, if anyone but myself was waiting on this case,I guess we need to find something else which is a shame.
I was waiting for this case also. I emailed them weeks ago and the return email was on the line that they are in the process of developing products for the tilt 2. So yes, this news is disappointing.
My suggestion, don't spend the extra money for a half-baked case. There are PLENTY of alternatives out there on ebay. I have one and it's wonderful and cost about 1/10 of what any of these "upscale" brands charges.
Sorry, forum was messed up.
Yes, I purchased one of those and it did not come close to fitting my Tilt 2.
For those of us with a Dremel and too much time on our hands, is it possible to mod the Seidio case to a near OEM look. Seems like taking about 3/8 of an inch off the PTT side would be golden. Opinions?
I'm not personally interested in having to pay so much money to "make do".
What I've personally decided to try is the Seidio holster that works with out phone, and a GadgetShieldz full body protection. I was actually really impressed with how this phone looked and didn't want to hide it, so this might be a good compromise.
I use a hard case I found on ebay for about $9. It works wonders, combined with a holster side pouch I bought on the street in NYC for $5. Total $14.
MUCH less than anything Seidio wants to charge.
Just had live chat with Seidio and this is the result.
Angela: hello
Customer74: hello
Customer74: Will you be making the innocase for the tilt 2?
Angela: Yes, we will be, but we don't have an exact ETA yet.
Customer74: Thank you.
Angela: You're very welcome. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
Customer74: Not at this time, thank you.
I had a long chat with them within a day of the original post and they emphatically stated that they were not making it. Who knows....
methinks they're messing with you.
I spoke with them on the phone today (as apposed to the chat like last time) and they again told me that it was not going to be released. I was unable to get any more details.
By the time they get around to making it, it will be like wanting to buy a case for the original tilt - there will be another phone out all off us are moving to =P
I am afraid you are right.

I just applied the GadgetShield a few hours ago and it's already looking great!
Going to wait until tomorrow to try placing it into the case - after feeling the new rubbery skin of the phone (which looks great) I'm not sure it will work together.
When I talked to them in early Dec, they told me at the end of Dec. :-(
Is it possible to use the Touch Pro II case and let it just cover up the other button?
I saw the post regarding modification, just wondering if its possible to ignore the button all together.
I had this case for my original tilt and hated it.
Going with a full phone gadget shield and then a slide-leather case.
the bulkiness of the innocase is just too much for me.
Anyone find any cases yet??
What do you think about the head phones??
Ive been using a Seidio belt pouch that I bought for my Touch Pro 2 a year ago and it fits it perfectly. I also just bought the REALOOK screen protector from amazon but im expecting to get that within a few days. Ill let you know if its worth getting or not, but the general consensus with that brand on other phones is its invisible, perfect fit, maintains the smooth glass feel of the screen.
Thanks Man!!
i have been searching for weeks.. to no avail.. i mean.. i've found a few that MAY work.. but my phone is on the way now .. soooo.. long story short.. best case i could find.. for myself was .. where other than the AT&T accessories page.. right where i should have started here s a link...or not.. thank you spammers.. anyway.. should be easy enough to find
I placed my order last night for the Invisible Shield maximum protection package. It ended up costing about 27 bucks shipped, but I've heard nothing but good things about this setup. I'll let you all know when it comes in.
OLD School and New School
I've actually been using the case from my 8125 for my past three phones (Tilt, Tilt2, and now Surround). It's a little tight on the long axis, but that's not the end of the world. I had wanted a new one; but the only one I found was $35 and I'm not willing to shell out that kind of money.
Regarding headphones, this is the first phone where I get over 95% reliability on my Bluetooth S9s, and given how uncomfortable the stock ones are I'm willing to live with a couple of skips.
Hard Case
Hi guys...
I bought this Hard Case on ebay. It feel nice on the phone.
Invisashield
Just got the surround yesterday and had the girl at Best Buy put the invisashield on. I don't normally like screen protectors as it takes away the sensitivity, but I don't even notice that this one is on. It gets a high rating in my book, not to mention that if anything goes wrong with it, it's replaced.
