Hey guys, please vote here - who use screen protector with own TP2
And those who use, please describe here who is the manufacturer of your screen protector and your experience, how good is it for you.
Most recent HTC devices have come with pretty good screen protectors included in the box. I didn't use a screen protector on my first device, and I'm not making that mistake again.
anyone knows why they don't install it from the factory?
I voted and i own an x1. I use.
I've seen threads like this before and I've always wondered why there is even a debate on this topic. Why would anyone not use a screen protector?
My theory: The next person you see using a touch screen device with no screen protector, probably doesn't use one because he messed it up when applying it on the device.

well the picture quality without it is much better, isn't it? I have now 3M protector on my HTC herald, and it doesn't look as clean as without it.
You should use the Crystal Clear type. You sometimes don't even noticed that it's being installed.

That's true, but when you use your device for some months without any protector, it will never be so clear as with a screenprotector (that you can replace when needed )

Based on what I read in the accessories forum, I decided to try a Martin Fields one. Had it on for 2 days now - so far, so good. The one that came with the phone kept peeling off at the bottom edge near the buttons.
I didn't bother with my Vario III, as the ones I tried seriously affected the screen responsivness. Of course it got a key scratch in the first 3 months:-(
On my TP2 I installed the supplied one, and will get a Martin Fields one.
However I've got to return the unit (dodgy radio), so it is vital not to scratch it before returning it!
I messed upp my original screen protector
So i bought the Copter screenprotector from Skalshop.se it's a bit rubbery, but other than that it works good. It came with some liquid spray for aplying the protection. A bit tricky to apply but worked good in the end.
Martin Fields - where from you guys are buying them? I don't see them at ebay for TP2
also - are they really the BEST? or they just have the highest price?
The store from which I bought my TP2 gave me another screen protector - I haven't used the one that came with the device. Probably cost them less than US$1-2 to buy in bulk - I never pay more than US$8 for one retail
Using the one supplied with the evice and it works perfetly (I was against screen protetors when I had a Hermes, but with TP I can barely see it)
I once had a device and when I applied the screen protector I hated it. It improved sunlight visibility by refracting the light, unfortunately this made it harder to read fine print on the screen. I also couldn't remove the protector and was stuck with it. Another one I had tried before that one which was removable, reduced sensitivity too much.
Those are reasons not use one. But as long as the available protectors can be removed in case you don't like them, then it's worth trying them out. That way you don't risk your screen unecessarily.

That's right! I use it and it's better than the one that HTC gives us: I have a new one because it was removed while in my pocket.. But now I'm happier!
I´m using touchscreen phones for many years (since my first PALM ) and i´ve noticed that the new screens are much more resistent. I think that you loose quality if you use a screen protector.
Just don´t put your phone in the same pocket that coins, keys,... and use it´s cover when putting it in a bag.
one other advantage with a phone like this should you choose not to use a screen protector is that since the phone has such a large screen and it's so touch optimized you won't get as much wear and tear on the common points of contact (like the "e" on the onscreen keyboard).
I use Proporta Screen Protectors. After I had used then in my Asus P535 I do not want another brand. They protect very well the screen, they were washable and also doesn't change too much the sensation of the touch with the pen or even with fingers.
I dont use one for a few reasons. I dont put my TP2 in any pocket with coins etc. I am pretty careful with it.
Although most importantly im insured on it, accidental damage w/ no excess to when the time comes it gets a bit dodgy ill smash it up and get a new one. If ive still got the TP2 when my contract runs out/upgrade ill probably wap a screen protector on then.
The original Atrix's didn't come with a screen protector, but new ones come with one installed. I normally hate screen protectors, but this one is really good.
Does anyone know who makes it and where I can get more?
(I'm not assuming that it's the same one sold in the AT&T stores, but if anyone knows for certain otherwise?)
I know there's already a thread about accessories, but this is more for discussion of compatibility.
The manual for the Note II says not to use screen protectors, as they may interfere with the S-Pen. I know from past experience that Gorilla Glass is not scratch-proof. My Samsung Vibrant has little pocks and scratches all over it; I've never used a screen protector for it. Are there any known screen protectors that will not interfere with the S-Pen? What's the best to get and why?
As for cases, I want to get an Otterbox, since I've heard very good things about them. Size isn't an issue as this phone is pretty massive already. I want it to be as protected as possible. I am willing to give a little for NFC compatibility, though. What cases are available that do not hinder NFC?
I know Google has a lot of answers, but I'd rather hear from people with experience on these things, maybe with the original Note or Note 10.1.

I would go to the other Note II forums and ask.
From what I have observed in those threads people are saying there is not that much of a difference on whether or not you use a screen protector. Of course, on XDA there are always people who advise not to use a screen protector, but I find it weird people do not want to put a screen protector on a $600-$800 device that will go into pockets and bags, where it is possible there are loose grains of sand or particles that may scratch the screen.
As far as cases and NFC, I haven't heard there being many issues about this either. Of course if you add a case there may be some disruption, but also think this is negligible and may be very hard to measure.
Screen protectors probably won't do anything with touching the screen, though it may make it harder to "glide" the pen across the surface, depending on material. What it will do though, is probably interfere with the hover actions of the S-Pen as it will likely make it so you need to be closer to the screen than you would otherwise.

I don't know if that is true. People who said they have had issues with S-Pen and screen protectors usually just increase the sensitivity of the S-pen.
If the digitizer is anything like my intuos, then it should not even affect the sensitivity.

i used a bodyguardz pure tempered glass on my S6 and it was pretty awesome...
i got the same brand and model for my new S7 and i noticed the very edges of the screen protector dont seal down all the way (probably because slightly more curve on the screen for S7?)
but my biggest issue is it appears to be messing with the touch sensitivity.. i find myself have to touch more than once or press harder to get it to register my finger touch..
anyone else experiencing similar?
Yea I experienced this with xtremeguard's Spartan glass.
Tried a few unbranded protectors and have the same problem.
Apparently the S7 is the first time Samsung made their own touchscreen digitizer, and hopefully this is the last time too.
No screen sentivitity issues here
I have taken a look at this tempered glass screen protector and can personally say that there are no sensitivity issues with it. When using the, Galaxy s7 remained as responsive as ever. It's pretty durable as well which really surprised me. I have tried a few brands for screen protectors to see which I like best and the Coral brand comes in high for me. If your looking for full screen coverage but don't want to impact your phone, then you may want to give it a try. You can checkout their website. Coralguard.
I've read that many people are having issues with the Samsung panel and hoping that it's not hardware related and can be fixed with some sort of software update. The only problem there is that carriers take so long to distribute.
Good luck.

Dude i really hope this isn't an actual thing, please call samsung and see if they can do anything about it.
Cuz we got a few devices as a family and my sister was complaining about her screen as well. She said its better now though and she's coming from APPLE so i thought it was just that apple to samsung touch response difference which made her thing it was not working properly.
I recently purchased and installed a case-friendly screen protector which doesn't cover the edges and although it seems to be protective, the touch sensitivity has become terrible. I enabled the setting to increase the sensitivity but it didn't seem to make much of a difference as it is still sluggish and not as responsive as it should be.
I have not had to deal with that on my S8 using a screen protector from the same brand (a Chinese one, I forget what it's called) but this is really ruining my experience with the device. I am planning on removing it as soon as I find a decent replacement.
I recently got back to Liverpool and am trying to find a store that can install it for me because I am really bad with these things, I'll just never be able to install a protector properly unless I waste three or four of them in trials. This has been the case ever since my first iPhone 2G and I just gave up on trying to install them myself altogether. Do you guys know where I can get it done in the UK? I contacted carphonewarehouse but they don't seem to offer installation services anymore.
Find an independant phone accessory / repair shop - chances are they will fit your screen protector for you for a minimal cost. I know there are a couple in Oxford that offer this service, so I would imagine Liverpool would have significantly more options.
