Does it comes with screen protector in the box? Like Touch Pro..
Asking because I ordered one, until it comes from Hong Kong...
to have something on screen...
thx
yes there is, as is a soft protection bag.
there is but...
Yes there is a screen protector in the box but I heard that it is not the top quality... So you better buy a quality type like BRANDO ULTRA CLEAR Protector Plus.
I will by this type when I buy my HD! I used the same brand for my Qtek S200 for over a year and I'm very satisfied with it.

I think the screen protector is not too bad, it is hard plastic not that rubbery stuff. It is certainly nothing like those cheap ones that you find in local shops and it covers the whole face of the phone, not just the screen. The cloth bag cover that comes with it is OK, but it is a bit thick. I found a black silicon cover that is made for the iPhone 3G, I made the hole bigger for the earphone plug and a new hole in the back for the camera. I saw this video of it on YouTube (not my video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUOgFQ8dpzo . It isn't a perfect fit but it's pretty good until the official covers are available.
The hard plastic covers made for the iPhone won't fit the HD
My story: i snobbed the screen protector since i never used any in the last 10 years, and peeled it badly since i thought i would have never used it...but looking better to it, it was not too bad! then, I ordered two original replacement protectors from HTC, installed it VERY carefully....and now they are essentially invisible and you'd need time to realize that the screen protector is actually present....
So, refrain from excitement when you open the box!
I thought I'd read to steer clear of the protector in the box? You guys are saying to go ahead and put it on?

I put mine screen protector that came with phone and don't really notice it at all... The pouch is a little too tight for phone so i bought another one...

I agree about the original pouch. What are you using now (and where did you get in from)?
Thanks,

Well, i disagree.
I seem to be able to get the phone in it with minimun effort, seems that it expands after a little use, like new shoes or clothes...
my gf put on the screen protector that came with the phone.. and i guess shes good at it haha cuz we put it on with no bubbles.. no edges up.. no nothing. PERFECT. it looks great. dont even notice it. ive been using the pouch that came with it and i like it. works fine.. squeeze from the bottom to take it out and just hold it slightly firm on the sides to put it in.. pushing down from the 3.5mm jack so you dont accidentally turn on the screen again with the power button.. gets slightly easier after a bit .. dont be scared =P
Is the screen protector in the box the same as the ones sold on htcaccessorystore.com (and other places like expansys) :
HTC Touch HD Screen Protector SP P200 (2 Pieces) ??
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=173045
I managed to put on the original screen protector with little hassle but hate the quality. Hope martins ship their fast.
is there a need for screen protector at all. I mean can I damage thescreen with stylus or my fingers?
YES! and a good quality piece!
I had accidentally hit my kaiser screen with seat belt metal piece, thinking screen is damaged. Therefore, not willing to remove the film to face the reality. Only yesterday, after confirming my blackstone is configured and running well, I removed my Kaiser screen protector. The screen is good as new. The dent on the film is "high"! Thanks to the martin shield.
I know but I mean with stylus or fingers not other things?

Yes I'd also like to know if a screen protector is necessary, assuming yyou don't abuse it.
Also would a cheap one from ebay be any good, and if not why not?

Now how the hell you did that ? :< I re-applied it 150 times and i need to be like super precise on it not to go left or right even for 0.0001mm
hell yeah screen protectors are necessary!
the screen will mark over time with stylus use and of course anything that "accidentally" hits it that is hard will cause marks, and no matter how careful you are, accidents happen
ive got the packaged screen protector on and its not too bad but i have a martin fields one ready to go on instead once the htc one starts to wear
I tried multiple times to apply the protector and was always off by a hair by the time got to the bottom. When I finally got it on straight there was enough dust on under it that I got disgusted and peeled it off again. I didn't give up though and ordered the OEM screen protectors again (two to a pack) and this is how I finally installed it properly:
1. Wash your hands.
2. Wipe the phone screen clean of any dust and fingerprints.
2. Find as dust free an environment that you have.
3. Peel the top edge of the protector only then line up this up with the top of the phone.
4. Slowly apply to the protector to the phone while allowing the backing to peel off. Make sure you don't allow it to totally come off.
5. You will soon know if it's going to lay flat in the slightly recessed area of the phone screen. The protector is exactly the same size as the recessed area and there is no room for error.
6. If not, peel the protector off again while allowing the backing to reseat on the protector but not all the way to the top.
7. Reposition the top edge very slightly and repeat. It will probably take several tries to get it right. It took me about 6 times but it looks very good when done.
The replacement protectors are easier to apply because the backing is the same size as the protector so it's easier to align with the phone.
If you're careful to not touch the adhesive side of the protector and are lucky enough not to have any dust settle on it, the final result is indistinguishable from the unprotected phone surface.
I'm very curious. Does anybody know why HTC doesn't supply the machine with the screen protector already installed?
Hello.
Im looking for screen protectors for my newly purchased HD.
So I'll head out and try a few myself probably.
But what I would like to know, are there any protectors around, which are
difficult to remove? Or even impossible without damaging the screen?
So I don't ruin my HD in the process
I appreciate any help.

difficult to remove - yes (I still have standart screen protector - the one that came in the box with HD - its quite hard to remove, cuz its stiched to the screen perfectly!!)
Impossible to remove - No , if there would be stuff like that then people wouldnt buy it ---- if you scratch your screen protector & cant remove it- the screen would look like its overused...
I scratched my stock screen protector with stylus - now my screen protector has a big scratch on the middle of screen (about 2cm long) ---- ordered 2mirror screen protectors & a soft gel case (which comes with a screen protector) from DC Mugen - will post on their quality!!
The InvisibleShields are quite difficult to remove, if you're concern is that silicon based ones are too easy to remove. Personally I don't like them much though, they're too thick and the optical qualities are inferior.
But just go with one with a silicon based adhesive screen protector, and not superglue, and your screen should survive attaching and reattaching easily.
The old screen protectors made with old school sticky stuff could pull off some of the resistive layer (ask my old Ipaq 3), but most modern screen protectors from reputable brands that you can get wet before attaching are very easy on the screen.

Well, I can live with a screen protector that's removable easily.
Basically the idea is, rather waste a couple of cheap screen protectors than risk damaging your HD with some diamond plate nailed to the device.
Thanks for the help.
Have a look at Boxwave Cleartouch screen protectors, I have used the crystal ones for years, and they are removable (use a tab of sticky tape to lift it off the screen) and you can even wash them and put them back on.
A little pricey, but worth it as one should last you for at least 6 months!
This is just a quick post with my comments on the invisible shield, in case it's useful to somebody looking for a screen protector...
Pros:
- Thick, feels very protective. No worries about putting it in a pocket and getting it scratched from keys or change
- Air bubbles really do work themselves out after a few days of use, even on a completely ham fisted install!
- Doesn't affect screen, you can still see it in daylight without rainbow or mirror effect.
Cons
- B****rd to install. Way fiddly because of all the little corner flaps and cut out bits.
- Slightly sticky to the touch means finger glide action isn't what it could be. Also scrolling with a stylus seems much more hit and miss than without the protector
- Not particularly cheap.
I'll be keeping mine - I'm mainly concerned about protection (which it should excel at) and with a little adaption you can get used to the decreased screen sensititvity. I find using the back of the fingernail to scroll actually works better than a finger.
As an aside, the best protector I had in terms of a balance between feel and protection was a generic cut-to-size one from Palm! Unfortunately it only covers the display part of the TP2 front, it's not big enough to cover the whole front.
Hope that helps someone!

Hmm, i was thinking just installing the back part for scratch protection and keeping the normal screen protector that comes with it, i find that the protector that comes with it gives it that capacitive feel to it in that the screen doesnt push in as it used to without the protector ... because honestly i dont think the screen feel and senstivity is something i can compromise .. my 2 cents

I forget to inform them not to apply the Raceshield screen protector as it is too thick and it gives a funny and unresponsive feeling when you touch the screen.
I might change the screen protector to Martin Field instead.
does the invisibleshiled protect my device when it´s falling down to the ground?? or will the phone be damaged??

Invisible Shield protect your device from scratches only.
If it falls onto the ground, it'll damage your phone for sure.
Get a pouch or a case if you need that kinda protection.
i have just installed the invisible shield on my touch pro2, not particularly hard, because I have lots of experience installing these.
But if you are a noob, it will be very tricky.
Even if you install it properly, you might still get dust or dirt underneath, and you may not realize it until it has dried up, which is too late.
I got some big bubbles underneath, waiting for it to dry.
I would only recommend the invisible shield for the back part, as for the screen, it is better to stick with a regular screen protector.
Scrolling and figure gestures are not as smooth if you use the invisible shield,
i will post pics up later! cheers.
I put my IS on last night. My impressions:
1. The back fits very nicely.
2. The front doesn't fit quite as well, but you can get it on with enough patience.
3. There are a few small bubbles, I'm still waiting for them to go away.
4. Today the bubbles are still there, and the front has a rather sticky feel to it. I don't like the feel.
5. The back cover sticks very well to the gell pad I use in my car. (bonus!)
6. I don't like the ridges on the sides left by the front cover.
7. If the bubbles don't disappear completely, I will find a replacement for the front cover.
Doesn't the phone come with a proective cover on the back already and a screen protector for the screen? I would have thought that would be enough?

The 'cover' on the back is just part of the back's design.
And the screen protector that comes with the phone, well, not sure about everyone else, but mine peeled off within a few days of it going in and out of my pocket.

The "cover" on the back, which can sorta be seen when you look at the volume rocker doesn't come off, which is why I said it's just part of the design.
You can place any protection you want on it.

Also, not just what it looks like on the physical device, but some good pictures of what the SCREEN looks like with phone on? So many screen protectors distort the screen image (thinking to my mother's ipod touch screen protector that makes the pixels all rainbowy and aliased looking) and I have yet to see ONE picture of what the actual display looks like when the screen is on.

Sorry, I have no photos to offer. I can tell you that the screen does look a bit "rainbowy" when I have polaroid sunglasses on. (When driving) It's enough to be a minor annoyance, no more. Still very easy to see the screen, which is a big plus comin from a Tilt that could not be seen at all in my roadster.
Also, as a general follow-up to my earlier rant-
All the bubbles have worked out, and I've grown accustomed to the sticky face. So I will keep the IS on my TP2. I really likethe idea of the phone being well protected from all the abrasive items that find their way into my pockets.
So, after a week of use; I am starting to get little scratches on the glass of the watch. Anybody have any ideas on how I could get a decent screen protector for the watch? I know there aren't any perfectly sized ones for this device but maybe somebody here already found one that fits.
You may be getting real scratches on the screen, but be aware that the sapphire-coating on the TS also can appear scratched when it really is just marked. To clean those markings off takes some fairly serious buffing, but you might find the screen was not really scratched and comes out clean again.
There are no screen protectors currently available specifically cut to fit the TS. You could cut one yourself, maybe using that peel-off sticker it shipped with.

I cut my own screen protector out of an old one (unused) that I had laying around. Turned out horrible.
It was the more rigid type and where the edge of the TrueSmart screen has a bevel the screen protector was just hanging out over it. It ended up collecting dirt and made it hard to access the back and menu swipe actions. I also considered cutting it back to only the actual screen portion but I figured that was just going to make those swipe actions even more miserable so I just tossed it.
My guess is that the only thing that would work would be one of the more flexible stretchable type screen protectors, not sure how well they would conform to the bevel on the glass though.
Hi
I have this case :
https://www.spigen.com/products/galaxy-s8-case-crystal-shell
I tried both Samsung original plastic screen protector:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQKnJsETNYQ
And the olixar case friendly glass screen protector.
Both suck. Either the touch is bad either the case lifts it up.
Can anyone recommend me a screen protector that will get a long with my case? or any combination of screen protector and a case that will work together?
No glue / wet apply please. Only conventional stuff
Thanks
From what I have seen the gpel case friendly screen protectors seem to be about the best option.
They come in clear or black edges I hear the clear shows dirt build up around the edges
Do you mean this one
https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Friendly-Tempered-Satisfaction-Guarantee/dp/B06XWMZG5N
Cause it's rating is pretty poor
Whitestone dome?
How badly does it affect the touch?

Not at all... Touchscreen works perfectly. And works with lots of cases https://youtu.be/sScL3ZyGTgI
It only takes some time to install it correctly, you can't rush it and expect great results.
But you better check some install videos, and the topics here on xda. Since this is glued to the screen, not just a strip on the edges, this feels as good as the naked screen and no dust can get beneath
I prefer something without glue/ liquids..
Whats the best dry apply option on the market?
It's wet apply, but I've had no issues with this one besides it taking a little extra time to adhere to the curved edges. it's been perfect on my case (not the same one) and looks good as well. Lifetime warranty too. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072B8MLF3/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
