So I got my Flyer on Friday, only to see after one transportation in the bag and ~ 1 hour of total usage that I had my first small but noticeable scratches on the display. Even further, I got one a little more visible when writing with the stylus today. Deriving from my experience with HTC devices from the last couple of years, and avoiding playing in a sandbox with it, I thought it was safe to not buy an extra screen protector.
So, how do your Flyers perform? Same experience? Had been asking in another forums where no-one else experienced the same, so I wonder whether this is just a factory fault on mine or if it is that sensitive to scratches in general...
Cheers

None here
I don't really see any on mine! I am kinda worried now however, maybe I should buy an invisibleSHIELD lol... I haven't had a screen protector since my N1 days! I would drop HTC a line, they were really prompt to answer my questions, and I figure getting their opinion is probably a good option!
Hmm, that is strange. I don't have any on mine. I thought these were made with Gorilla Glass?
No issues here, but using matt screen protector now.

None on mine as the first thing I did was put the "invisible" shield on. I don't trust the zero scratches concepts and claims. I always play it safe. You won't believe it, my TP2 is still scratch free for the next happy owner.
Always protect you expensive investment.
You guys are too clever, hehe. Contacted HTC support und will see what they will tell me about my issues...
Already got a deep scratch on it and a ton of micro scratches. Not too happy about that. I could live with the micro scratches. But the big one is really going to bother me.
First one to experience the same... oh well, not a single-case problem it seems. Scratches are really an issue, considering you're not going to use it in lab conditions (weren't they meant for mobility?).
I didn't want to.take a chance, so I'm only using it with a screen protector
I am using the Samsung Galaxy Tab Platinum Easel Folio case (purchased at Best Buy) - tight fit but works perfectly and looks good.
Yep it is a scratch magnet. I really cannot believe that this is GG on this tablet as my sammy tabs screen is much more resilient. Scratches on mine and I have no idea how they got there. Waiting on a protector from ebay and treating it very carefully until then.

How does the pen fare with the screen protector? Everything still good?
invisibleSHIELD
I installed a Zagg iShield on mine today, the pen kind of drags, which had me worried. But y'all that reported scratches, question are you using European models or the US model per chance? I just wonder if that has anything to do with it?
European model. Am thinking of sending it back & ordering a new one elsewhere. No report back from HTC on the matter.
Mh - I guess the best option would be to use a cheap and simple screen protector for now to protect the screen from scratches.
There should be some better ones out once the Flyer is on the market for some time. I bet those will be better suited for the use of the pen.
Regarding the pen a thinner protection "shield" might be better.
Apart from that I think if you don't intend to sell the device at some point I don't really care about scratches after all. My old Samsung has millions of them but actually you can't see it when the screen is on and I won't using it with the screen off. For me that's a typical "So what?" question.
However, I'll get a screen protector too
haha

I've had the same issues in former WM phones which required a stylus. The invisibleshield films are slightly spongy and increase drag on the stylus. Over a while, I noticed some "orange peel" effect on the film also... but that maybe my poor application.
The boxwave clear or anti-glare films are what I'm hoping to find... I may order the matte screen protector from UK Amazon.

I would really love to do so as well, but the Amazon shop seems to be the only one having them, but unfortunately is not shipping to Germany. Does anyone know an alternate shop that ships them elsewhere?
No scratches here, been using it since it came out, also been using the pen on here no scratches or minor ones either. Got mine from best buy.
Screen protector
So I am learning to live with the iShield everything seems ok, the pen still works fine, however the drag is annoying only sometimes, bearable! Oh so my friend's Flyer is still a-ok screen protectorless, and our demo model at work has nothing on it, however that is only people tapping it with fingers. And it seems to me that the European models are the only ones people are seeing scratches on (in this thread at least) and the Best Buy US models aren't exhibiting the problem. Maybe there was a bad batch of glass in those models? This is all speculation of course!

Can anyone confirm that the Vibrant indeed does or does not have Gorilla Glass by Corning?
I am getting conflicting information.
Thanks

BTW: If it does indeed have it is there really a need for a screen protector?

That's what I was thinking....
Have one you recommend?
Corning put out a press release last year stating that they'd picked up Samsung as a customer for Gorilla Glass® for their touch screen phones. All the Galaxy S series phones have Gorilla Glass®. Even the craptastic Behold II had it. The story is the same for basically all Motorola phones too, though I'm not sure about HTC (at least I've not seen anything official).
Corning Supplies Samsung Electronics with Gorilla™ Glass for Touch Screen Mobile Phones
Granted if you look at Corning's device list the Galaxy S series phones are not listed, but you can also notice the list itself is obviously fairly old.
Corning has the contract for Samsung, this much we know.
After watching some of the videos on youtube, I am not too worried. However, some on here have stated they received minor scratches, but none of those posts indicated WHAT they did to their phone that would cause a scratch.... the videos on youtube could make you cry though and only the box cutter caused scratches from what I could tell.

You should check out a thread in the Vibrant accessories thread on XDA, multiple pages about screen protectors. I just installed my invisibleshield and after trying it out will put an update in that thread. Some people say the invisibleshield makes swyping hard. The others recommended are Clearfreak and Reallook, although the latter seems to be what people are swaying towards now.

I also use zagg. Works great for me, but I've been a zagg fan for a while. Isn't hard to swype for ne.
^^^ is that list outdated or something? I would assume ours, and the droid X have gorilla.
^ Zagg is a personal preference... I for one ripped it off my phone is disgust, felt way way too rubbery (hard to swype)
I'm waiting on the Reallook to arrive and can post results, the T-Mobile one was not good at all with the matte finish.
My phone was sitting on a wooden bench, and as we all know this phone is crazy slippery. On its own, it slid off the bench into the dirt below (about a 3ft drop). I now have what I would call a chip on the screen, not a scratch. So if we do have gorilla glass, it doesn't do ****. Imma order a screen protector on payday. Also it may be my imagination but I'm pretty sure the chip is getting bigger. I'm sure I'm just tripping balls though.

I highly doubt that this phone has gorilla glass. I put it in my pocket a couple times with the included earbuds and got a couple scratches as a result, one of which is visible when the screen is in use.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
The glass isn't necessarily the top surface. From what I was reading about the stuff they often use other layers. That means if we do have gorilla glass the screen may still scratch, it will just be harder to break.
i think that list is out dated because it doesn't say anything about the dell streak and that defo got the gorilla glass
Crazy to hear people saying EAR BUDS are causing scratches.... that is NOT what I viewed when I saw an Asian dude ripping a screw into the screen with no scratches.
Doesn't make sense... I'm not doubting someone on here, but I am not experiencing that and the phone has taken a LOT worse on videos you can watch.
I can say this much atleast lol earbuds definately would not scratch the screen, my girlfriend got her Vibrant at a Samsung training event a few weeks ago, and I watched her attempt to scratch the **** out of her screen with her keys. not a single scratch on it, I was impressed.
So my 2 day old Note has a hairline scratch that is only visible with the screen off in the right light. I am told that if I get this screen protector it will more than likely hide the scratch, and obviously prevent new ones. I'm curious to hear if others have this and like it. I have never used a screen protector because I don't like the way they look and feel, but apparently this screen is very easily scratched, despite me only keeping it in my pocket by itself.

Yes the Zagg or any Zagg type screen protector will make any light scratch invisible. I was the guy who posted about a scratch . Anyways my Zagg came in like a day after it happened, I put it on and I cant even see the scratch.

Yes it does and it kinda sucks, I always buy BSE skins (Best skins ever) but they only have the international version atm.
Have the Zagg Dry Invisi-Shield installed on mine, front and back protection, and both he dry and wet install shields leave little indented marks when you use the s-pen because they are soft. At first its barely noticeable but the little grooves build up over time. Just something to consider, depending on how much you use the s-pen.

I went to Best Buy and and exchanged the phone for a new one because of the scratch and bought the InvisibleShield. I'm not crazy about the Orange Peel look, but it's better than the scratched screen look.
i have the shield on mine as well........after having the rocket for 5 months and not having a case nor a screen protector i had to get one for the notes awsome screen.
and the S-pen is Great. i use it for texting and everything. the write to text is pretty accurate and fast when you get used to it. my only gripe is that with the Zagg shield the pen does not flow quite as smoothly so it hickups here and there when not applying just the right amount of pressure.
I actually wish that it had the physical home button like the Intl version. I saw some neat tips and tricks -such as disable touch screen -which would be great for movies, etc -especially with children...
I went with the Rearth Ringbo screen cover. Cant comment since I ordered it this AM.

I just learned after buying the Invisible Shield that even though they offer a lifetime "free" replacement, it costs $4 for them to ship it to you and you have to pay to ship it back. In what world is that free?
I bought the invisible sheild today from bestbuy. Not really liking how it feels "tacky" compared to the slick glass. Something to keep in mind when considering purchasing it.

I bought the Zagg tonight, installed it and thought I had it on perfect! Was all proud of myself. Went to go turn the screen on and all these rainbow colors and weird looking dots all over between the screen and shield! I was so pissed. I think I sprayed too much of their liquid on. I should have just paid Best Buy to install. What a waste of money. $22 down the drain.
bought some screen protectors on Amazon to get here Thursday and then 6x off of eBay. I don't care if I have to replace one a month. I'm not spending $20 anymore on one screen protector.
Zagg has also started making an HD version of there screen protector, this one does not give you the orange peel look like the old ones. Right now i think it is only for the Iphone but give it some time they will probity start making them all like that.
I didn't see a thread about this in the accessories section here, so I figured it would be a good one since many people will be getting one, despite the Gorilla Glass supposedly being a good protector as-is.
In my experience, good screen protectors will accomplish one of two things, but never both:
1) Invisibility - you don't even notice it is there, and does not mar your screen quality whatsoever (a big perk when your new phone's biggest feature may be the screen)
2) Glare-resistant - you sacrifice some of your screen's brightness and jump-off-the-phone clarity and colors, yet you do get much less glare, improved visibility outside in the sun, and it tends to have a smoother feel when swiping across the screen.
The purpose in this thread was to allow people to share recommendations for screen protectors on both fronts. I, personally, want one that won't hinder my phone's screen quality (although my OG EVO has a glare-resistant one on it right now). Any recommendations on brand, type, deals, etc?
Also, I've noticed that many of them won't be available until June or so, which is frustrating since I want to have a protector on mine as I walk out of the store next Friday. Ideas? Do I just buy the cheapest thing possible until a great one is available? Risk going without one for a couple weeks?
Share your thoughts and plans here! One week to go!
XO Skins is already shipping them. They posted a few videos today reviewing the phone on their youtube channel. You can get one here.

I have been using them for a while on my Nexus. I am considering switching to the evo lte or the galaxy III. I am waiting for that to compare, but the review in my signature has a tun of comments feedback etc. It's the best one on the market imo. I would get the full body on these since the back of the evo lte looks pretty weak. These don't have orange peel like others and have a lifetime warranty. The best coupon floating around is sprintxo

On my original evoi had one of Sprints matte screen protectors which weren't too bad, but prefer a screen protector that does not sacrifice screen quality, I had used ZAGG on my HTC touch pro and is currently on my Prime.The feel of the screen is a bit rubbery at first, but once it breaks in it feels very comfortable and smooth. It does not sacrifice any quality and they offer protection for the back of the phone as well. Unfortunately, ZAGG did not have anything listed yet for the Evo LTE , I did email them and got this response:

I second this. Steinheil is the GOAT. Crystal Clear, doesn't diminish the screen, very durable.
They will be making them soon enough. I need to find something temp for the time being. Because I am a danger around things which aren't protected.

Eh, they 'll still make them. A lot of assessory places say they have no plans but they are waiting to see the demands.
I'd be more concerned if a case maker said that, since it takes more resources. Screen protectors is a matter of cutting the right size.

Case makers say the same thing btw, its a straight company line unless they are already into production with the item b/c only then will they be able to 100% confirm they are going to have one.
I know the overall outside dimensions b/w the EVOLTE are different than the OneX slightly but what about the screen?.....should OneX screen protectors not work on the EVOLTE? or is the dimension of the actual screen different too slightly...The MAIN difference is the OneX case on the inside on the screen has round edges where as the EVOLTE is squared off in the corners...
might be worth something trying there for those that want to...
I'm waiting for the Steinheil protectors as well. They're the best. Period.

Gorilla glass won't stop dust or dirt from scratching it. This has been beaten to death in some other topics but the gist is that the key scratch tests etc don't scratch it because brass is softer than gorilla glass. Dirt and some dust is much harder so it will scratch. It's stronger than most glass, but not scratch proof. That's why people still use protectors, let them take the beating, if they get damaged, peel it off and slap another on there.
I got an extra screen protector left over from clarivue for the original evo. Will have to see how well it fits the evo lte, even if it doesn't cover up the screen entirely.

Okay, guys, I don't know how it's not mentioned even though we know they are the best screenguards out there.
Here are some I found over eBay :
http://www.ebay.in/sch/ScratchGuard...3/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=moto+e+tempered+glass
Surely, they are not Spigen's or Orzly's or of some known brand, in fact I confirmed and got a reply that it's made in China and is generic but equally strong and the cuts are nicely made.
Do you think buying it is worth it?
I mean, they're not really expensive at all.
Has anybody bought any of them ?
Btw, when I searched, I found out that Orzly has also made a tempered glass screen protector for our phone but, obviously, it ain't available in India.
i wanted to buy a glass screen protector. can any one suggest one?? there are tons on flipkart which one i should get?? any brand to look for??
Ordered one from ebay. From what I extensively searched, it seems Corning glass is fracture resistant, not necessarily scratch-resistant. There are conflicting views on either sides. I just thought better safe than sorry. Also, I have had a pretty bad expierence with screen-guards. Scratch easily. And the tempered glass is not so costly either, although it is unbranded. Got this one.
In the ebay list, I chose this one cuz its got the maximum sales. Regards to other ones, they either seem confused if its meant for iphone or moto e, or the thickness they mention is inconsistent(0.3/0.26/0.4) or have less sales. I had no other criteria for selection since its unbranded. Hoping for the best.

I already bought a matte one before these came out.
And, it has already started showing scratches. I don't think it's gonna last over a month.
Anyway, do tell us about your experience and if you don't mind, share a few photos too, of how it looks, how much thick it gets, etc.

Got it finally.. Looks good and feels good. After a few attempts got it on properly, although a small portion of upper left screen is not covered. Let's see how long it lasts..

Would it be possible for you to post a few pictures, and maybe answer these questions :
1. Is it actually oleophobic? (prevents oil and fingerprints)
2. Did bubbles come up while putting it on?
3. Has it affected the resolution?
4. Does touch feel the same? Or worsens?

1. Definitely not oleophobic. In fact, seems to be a fingerprint magnet.2. Yes, bubbles did come up, but since one can take it off, I managed to try it on about 3 times. 3. Not affected touch at all, nor the screen quality. 4. I would post a few pics, but it wont show a thing. its not at all visible.

hey loneagl
itz almost 2 months u r using the screen protector. could you please tell about itz quality. is it really scratch resistant & has maintained itz original quality till now.
plz do rply coz i too wanna buy one.
I used to use these on my old 1+1 as they often have them on offer which makes them one of the cheapest and decent protectors.
Had a 90% off code (Take90) through today so thought I'd have a look if they have anything for the 1+5.
They only have a plastic film protector for the 1+5 showing in their site.

However when selecting that a Spartan glass option comes up at 29.99 (buy 2 with the code to work comes in at $6) the pair, which again is incredibly cheap.
I haven't ordered one yet to see if it's real or just a website error (shipping to the UK takes weeks and costs more than the protectors).
Wondering if anyone else has tried it stateside?
I may order them anyway, I seem to be amassing a collection of bits of sticky edged glass, so another one won't hurt.
I've ordered one. For a tenner I'll risk it. These used to be really good. Had one for my one plus one.

Taken the plunge too, will see how they fit, still looking for that perfect glass, thinking I will end up with just a decent TGSP and use my Fitbag for protection in pockets.

Looks like mine will be here in the next two days according to the tracking.
I'll update the thread with pictures when it does.
I just ordered and the discount code still worked. less than 7 bucks for two.

I've got a couple of these on order, although right now I'm fairly happy with my Nilkin/Otterbox combo gave up on the full 3.5D coverage ones, first one arrived broken, second one had debris already on the adhesive before lifting from the plastic.
Well mine has turned up today.
Compete utter sh#te..
It's about 3mm narrower than the screen (not the bezels the actual visible screen)
There's no borders but there's obviously the original screen exposed on the sides
I'm going to demand a refund.
Sorry if anyone else ordered one based on this thread. Very disappointed
Might be able to see the edge and how much is exposed on the right here.
Not the best quality photo, taken with my shield tablet..

Look like a similar cover to the Nilkin tbh. I'm happy with that as a solution, compared to the dark borders. The Otterbox case I use offers enough protection to the very outer edges due to the depth and my most likely damage would come from a more central hit/scratch.
I've received mine today and the result is similar I'm afraid.
I'll leave it on for a day or two but I reckon it'll come off since it doesn't cover the screen properly.
I really don't understand why it's this hard to make a screen protector that fits properly. Maybe OnePlus just gave the wrong measurements to all the OEMs?
In any case...
Pixel 2 out soon. Maybe that'll be an option.

XtremeGuard always sells complete and utter sh*t. Any company that has 90% sales once a month is lying to its customers and does not deserve my business.

Put mine on today after receiving yesterday.
Worst protector ever! Huge halo and cuts off a portion of screen like the million. Do not buy! I've already asked for refund.

So I wanted to get one but I don't have a credit card and shipping is 8 dollars!
You have to buy two products in order to get the code "Take90" to work
Same as Nilkin with an extra cutout for the ffc and proximity sensor. It's probably one of the best tgsp right now, full coverage units are currently all worse than this.
