Has anyone tried this out yet? People who have gotten this for the Nexus say it bested the ZAGG skin.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618006
I had one on my Diamond, and it was great! Worked well, stayed on, didn't really show finger prints, and was virtually scratch-proof!
i ordered one, i'm pretty damn terrible at putting these things on though. hopefully all goes well for me.
I have used BSE on other devices. Have a ZAGG on my Incredible b/c that was all that was available on Day 1, but if the BSE was ready, I would have gotten it.
after reading all the reviews and comments I finally decided to order best skin ever for my incredible.
I hesitate putting the lens screen protector but i'm afraid of it being scratched without it. Then again, i'm afraid that it will degrade pictures. anyone install the lens protector from bse and can give an opinion?
I've never tried BSE but I've used Zagg and BodyGuardz on multiple devices (phones, cameras, touch screen stereo remote control). I can say without hesitation that BodyGuardz has been far superior to Zagg on all applications. They all offer scratch protection, but Zagg has a tendency to "orange peel" on me and show haze/air bubbles once dried. Plus BodyGuardz gives you 2 full sets for less than you pay for 1 set with Zagg. I'm not affiliated with any of these companies in any way, but I would definitely NOT recommend Zagg to anyone. If you want to compare BSE to something, you might try to find someone who has tried BSE and BodyGuardz.
I bought the BSE Incredible skin, and i think its a good product. It was my first try putting a skin that requires a solution to aid in applying, but it looks great to me.
It needs the full 24 hours to let the air/water bubbles permeate thru, but with a little messing with i got it to lay perfect with only a couple microbubbles stuck. Thebest thing for me is it doesnt have that wavy surface appearance. It is crystal clear, and has a slighy rubbery soft touch to it, which is why i think it is so durable. Even witha fingernail i couldnt create a scratch.
I got the glossy skin, and it DOES show oily fingerprints. I dont mind, its so durable, i will just wipe it on my leg to clear it up.
If your hard on screens, try this one. I will try to post a pic sometime soon.

Are we looking at the same thread?
According to the poll on that thread 30.89% prefer zagg while only 27.22% prefer BSE.
So how does it best the zaggs?
I guess it bested the Zaag due to personal opinion. Just because the Poll says Zaag is better, doesn't always make it true.
I have never tried a Zaag but I can say that specifically based on the price, I never will, when i know that the 5.99 product from BSE is MORE than adequate for me and the protection of my device(s).
Two parts to this question-
1st part kind of a poll. Who thinks it is necessary or helpful to put a screen protector on the T-Mo HD2, and why?
Of course I want to protect the screen on my HD2, as much as possible. I think the screen is already scratch resistant, and I am not sure if a screen protector would add anything in that regard. I don't see how a screen protector could possibly protect against breakage, or internal LCD damage.
I have seen some reports, of screen sensitivity being diminished by screen protectors.
Of course the companies that make them, will try to sell people on it. That is called "manufactured demand", creating a need that isn't there.
Your opinion? Do they really help protect the phone?
I am about to purchase some items from Amazon. I see they have one screen protector (manufacturer Amzer) for $6.95 with free shipping (if total order is more than $25, which mine is). I haven't heard of that company before, but it sounds good from the description (no user reviews). (It even says "anti-reflective" and "free from fingerprints", and those are two problems the screen has--fingerprint magnet, and very reflective. Don't know if those claims are true though.) Has anyone tried this brand? Any good?
The link for that is: http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-Screen-..._14?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1281121428&sr=8-14
They even have some cheaper, a dollar or less, with $3 shipping. Do a search on Amazon for HD2 screen protector.
The following link includes a rubber case such as the one that comes with the unit, plus a screen protector, for $1.54 +2.98 shipping: http://www.amazon.com/HTC-T-Mobile-...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1281121428&sr=8-1
Another is only 46 cents plus shipping.
Are there really any differences in these? They are only tiny pieces of plastic. Seems like they should cost less than a buck, not $10 or $15, as some do.
In any case, I am thinking of getting the Amzer, as it can have free shipping with the rest of my order, and sounds good. Anyone here used it?
Still undecided though--whether there is any point in getting a screen protector at all, or just one of those "manufactured demand" products, that really doesn't help anything.
Opinions?
Between this forum and the official T-Mobile forum on their website, I'm seeing quite a few instances of shattered LCD screens from people dropping their HD2s. You'll also see that there are now many replacement screens showing up on eBay, for example. My point is that you might consider acquiring more than just a screen protector for your HD2.
I personally purchased an Otterbox Defender case for my HD2. It has a built-in screen protector as one of its layers of protection, and the multi-part case appears to thoroughly protect the phone (including from my 7 year old). There are lots of cases out there, so I'm not actually suggesting that you get one from Otterbox (and I don't work for them). Some people say, for example, the the Defender case is overkill, and makes the phone too bulky for their taste.
I'm just saying that a $100 to $300 phone might warrant more than a screen protector.
in my opinion there is no such thing as to much protection
My car has airbags everywhere ,but i still wear my seat belt
def put a screen protector, that is the first thing you do when you get a phone like the hd2
Most things break when you drop them... it's called gravity. There's no solution for clumsiness you'll have to get something like the otterbox for some gravity proof protection. I've considered getting the otterbox myself but it takes away so much of the aesthetics of the phone....
My HD2 has a screen protector and a well padded leather case.... i've been doing this for all my previous phones. Sure i've had some slips and tumbles but the leather case protects most the impacts no problems.

A tennis ball doesn't break when you drop it!
Seriously, one would think that they might have strong enough materials available today, so that a phoine would not break if dropped.
But certainly--a screen protector would not protect one iota against dropping!
What exactly, does a screen protector protect against?
Do you also put one on your laptop screen?
If scratches on the screen bother you, screen protector will help with preventing that. The HD2 is not as scratch resistance as some of the youtube videos lead you to believe. I am careful with mine and still manages to get some minor scratches on it. When it comes to preventing the phone from breaking during a drop, I think your best bet is a otterbox defender.
I put a screen protector on my HD2 I have no sensativity issues but the feel of the screen protector is obvious when you slide your finger on the screen. My wife does not have the screen protector and it feels smooth to the touch but there is no difference as far as sensativity goes I used a zagg invisible shiled.
No scratches on my screen eventhough I carry it with keys and coins in front pocket sometimes. Only cracked screen from dropping it! Getting Otterbox Commuter case for my new replacement HD2 but NO screen protector. This screen doesn't get scratched very easily at all.

Filed my insurance claim today, should get it tomorrow. Free next day air.
Oh, and bought commuter case too. A bit late it seems though..
No screen protector would have prevented that. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Probably not, but since that incident, i'm going all out.
Thanks for the links!
I have one of the Invisible shield covers on mine & i like the feeling of knowing if the protector comes off ill get to see the screen BRAND NEW while i'm replacing the cover.
On an ass-backwards note, i also have the Body Glove case with the kickstand from T-Mobile and the only reason is for the kickstand. It feels like if i dropped the phone the case would shatter my phone would be goin to bed dead.
I am pretty careful with my stuff but as others have mentioned, theres no such thing as too much... im probably going to order that same black case though.
as for the screen, you never know... i'd rather be safe than sorry. I feel putting a $10 screen protector on a $500 phone isnt a big deal.

Well, materials like that do exist, ones that could make the phone near indestructable. Unfortunately, they're prohibitively bulky or expensive and would jack up the price and/or size of the phone. The treated glass used on the screen is the best attempt at a compromise on this that's really available.
I've honestly been using my HD2 since March with nothing but the rubber cover that HTC provided in the box, and I have yet to get a single scratch on it...but, I know I'm probably just fortunate with that. I have a screen protector on my TP2, and I know that it's definitely saved me from scratches on a number of occassions....but then again that screen isn't anywhere near as hard as the one on the HD2.
I've got an otterbox commuter series case on the way now, but I'll probably try it without the screen protector at first. I reeeeeally like the feel of the bare glass

Corning developed a glass many years ago that was dubbed "Gorilla glass" for its toughness and durability. I used to work summers for them, and at the time it was a nice invention that no one could find a use for -- we didn't have widescreen computer monitors or HDTVs, or cell phones, for that matter. Besides, it was considered expensive to manufacture. I read recently that Corning is now testing this old, very tough but thin glass for use in large TV screens and, soon, for cell phone screens. Maybe this will increase the durability of the touch screens for future phones. But for now, cases and screen protectors (should) rule the day.

Yes, actually Gorilla glass has already been used on a cellphone (or more than one perhaps), I belive the Motorola Droid was the first one. From what I understand, the HD2 doesn't have the acutal Gorilla Glass, but rather some similar hardness treatment.

Where did you find an Otterbox Commuter case to fit a TMO-US HTC HD2? I've checked on eBay and Amazon and they only have the Int'l version available.

And to add to the whole screen protector on mine. I never had one until I dropped it and it landed face down on a pile of small hard dry rocks. Then slid across the ground. It made two small but noticeable deep scratches.

I should have figured that. I'm just not a fan of paying retail. Otterbox sells their cases for 50% more than sites like Amazon, NewEgg, and eBay. Now that the U.S. version's supply is becoming more available my guess is that these places will begin selling the U.S. version as well.
As the title suggest.
Any one recommend a good screen protector for the tab?
I'm waiting for this one...
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechS...YS/ref=rsl_mainw_dpl?ie=UTF8&m=A127GCSIQ9QZ6G
When I was looking, I simply paid attention to the holes made for the light sensor and camera on the front. Found an inexpensive protector on Amazon that fit my criteria of quality workmanship in that regard and went for it.
I dug around on ebay for quite a while and it seems there are some nice ones available there also, but the better ones seem to ship from hong kong, which was an issue for me because I want mine protected from day one.
I just popped in to CPW and they now have the invi-sheild, However at £15 I will not be getting that one.
Gonna have a look around on play.com, amazon.co.uk and so on...
I just received the cheap silicon skin I ordered for my Galaxy Tab. It's just great for my usage pattern, it adds protection, grip, and doesn't increase the footprint of the tablet form factor. Back to topic:
The screen protector that came with the silicon skin (as part of a bundle) is really cheap, both in price and quality ! It arrived with marks on it, and it adds a foggy layer on top of the otherwise beautiful glass screen of the Tab.
Conclusion: in my opinion, and based on the glass technology used to manufacture the Tab display, a screen protector is totally unnecessary ! A much better use of money is to get a decent skin to protect the plastic parts of the tablet.

I gotta agree... Gorilla glass used in the Tab is supposed to be really hard to scratch... but if there is a good protector out there, I would use it anyway... but the back was what I was more afraid of. Being plastic and curved slightly, I foresee the back getting a large worn out mark in the center very easily. I would rather not use a Silicone case if I could, Hence the front and back protector set I posted in post 2.... or one of those other full body screen protectors...
For now, I am really careful how I lay down my Tab...

I actually never removed the factory transparent plastic sheet on the back, to protect the white shiny surface against scratches !
It is still there, even though I now use the silicon skin all the time. On the rare occasion when I remove the rubbery skin that protects against sharp knocks, the plastic cover is still there to avoid a bad accidental scratch.
As for the display, it is plenty strong enough, unlikely to be scratched by regular activities and associated risks (like keys in pocket, small bangs against furniture when carried in jacket sleeve, etc). The plastic body is likely to be the weak point in the device, not the tough glass.
mklass mentioned the Invisible Shield range of protectors.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any other brand that was as tough without having the same horrible tacky finish to it.
Don't buy the screen protector from Vikuiti Displayschutzfolie DQC160, because after that you can't use the buttons. There is no way!!!
I like FoliX FX-Antireflex screen protector Samsung Galaxy Tab which you can get by amazon.
I got the antiglare screen protector from tmobile when I bought mine.
It covers the whole front and had a cutout for the front facing camera.
Used modified Ipad screen protector for the front and maintained the sticky stock plastic for the back.

i dont know any good screen protectors but for the back i love my SKINITs from skinit.com
the skinit uses a 3m high end sticker i have one on my evo and i put that thing thru hell yeah the back is scratched but its the sticker not the phone
Agreed I will likely use the skinit as well as I used in on my instinct, moment, will use on my epic probably and will use on my tab once I pick one up!
online Zagg.com 50% discount code
I just ordered my Sam. Gal. Tab skin from zagg because of a 50% discount code they sent me for site-wide products on ZAGG.com. You can use the discount code one time during checkout before November 26th, 2010. Your discount code is good for up to 3 more items only and I am assuming it's available to anyone not just past customers like myself. Hope this helps you and the Code is: cn3jnpz44
I picked up the Zagg full-body kit from my local Futureshop (big box retailer, owned by Best Buy). Was pricey at $39 CAD (a bit more than I'd pay after shipping from Zagg in the US).
I bought it for the back protection more than anything else, and more grip on the back. For that, it works great, there's a LOT of friction from this thing, to the point where it almost won't budge when I try to push it on a marble counter top. It's a bit more glossy than I'd like, hoping that fades once it fully dries.
After a few months with my Galaxy S, the only thing that looks worn is the plastic back, didn't want the same thing to happen to the Tab, which is much heavier and more likely to grind little bits of dirt into the plastic. Samsung knows glass, they don't do so well with picking quality plastics.
The screen protector sheet isn't going to be used at all, since I HATE the snatchy feel of InvisibleShield on a capacitive screen, and the little ripples that never go away, and this one is no different. Once again, after months of use, my Gorilla-glassed Galaxy S screen still looks like new, (as did my Milestone with the same type of glass), expect the same from the Tab.
Actually, I'm sure I will use the front protector...it'll be cut up and used to protect the back of something smaller.
Try Martin Fields. . . I have been using them for all my devices. Works great on the touchscreen of my HD2, iPod Touch 2g. . . No problem with the touch sensitivity, they are fantastically bright (not crap like invisible skin which turns yellow with age and starts peeling) and actually provides a better and smoother surface for the finger to glide on the touchscreen. Gonna order one for my brand new tab today (purchased tge tab only yesterday and immediatelly rooted it)B-)

I have the Zagg, and am happy with it. I had best buy install it, and had to go twice because the first time it sucked. The second was much better, and I am satisfied. The lifetime guarantee is a good thing.
I just ordered a Realook protector for my Tab as that's what I currently have on my Galaxy S and, aside from the slightly off-centre speaker hole (my fault), you can't even tell it's there. Pretty sturdy, too, the phone gets lots of pocket-time and it's not beat up at all.
I've always been one to use screen protectors on my displays, even on gorilla glass. With the nexus 7 using an unconfirmed type of corning glass (ie it might not be gorilla glass and instead just have a scratch resistant coating), i figured to go shopping.
XO skins is the company I've been buying from recently. It is very easy to find coupons that will work online. They work really well, although they can feel a bit rubbery. They do NOT have the orange peel texture companies like zagg are known for. Since it is a wet installation, it is sometimes possible to see "rainbow streaks" under the screen over a white background. If you run into this problem, shoot them an email and they'll send you a replacement. Customer service is excellent.
http://xoskins.com/laptops-tablet-r...in-protectors/google-nexus-7-screen-protector
This next one i haven't tried, but it differs from the above protector in that it is a static cling installation. This would probably be good for those who are against wet installations, or fans screen protectors from companies such as steinheil. This one is anti-glare though, so it is likely that it has a matte-textured or cloudy display.

We should be seeing more in the next few weeks. If you find one, post it
until then, cheers
I'll definitely be going with the Skinomi: I've done both Skinomi and ZAGG, and ZAGG is just too sticky for my taste. IMO, my fingers just glide over the screen much easier with a Skinomi protector.
I've always gone with xoskins and their customer service is AMAZING. No joke, if you feel unsatisfied with your screen protector, just email them and they'll most likely send you a new one. I got one for my Galaxy Nexus though one thing about these types of screen protectors is that dents and marks got onto them pretty easily. Even so, I'll still be getting an xoskin for my Nexus 7 (assuming I get one soon).

+1 SGP for screen protectors & skinomi for silver carbon fiber kit
SGPs are great but expensive. I've bought 5$ screen protectors from Frys that have the same quality as my SGPs. Skinomi intends to scratch very easily and it doesn't self heal. Never had experience with XO skins though and I'm not a big fan of water based once anymore since they seem to dent and scratch easily X_x..
I am not a fan of protectors. I don't use one on my Sony EReader (soft screen) or my Motorola phone (Gorilla).
Both have cases, and are scratch-free after a couple of years use.
That works better for me.
Here's what SGP CS wrote back to me when I asked if they plan to make a SP for the Nexus 7
Thank you for contacting Spigen.com Customer Service Department.
Hi, my name is Diana from Spigen.com.
Thank you for your interest in our products! As of now, we don’t have any definite plans to make screen protectors for the Asus Nexus 7 Tablet. However, if there is increased interest from our customers, we may change our production plans in the future. Please check our website for any updates time to time.
If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Funny thing is that they usually reply with that for most new products if I'm not mistaken.
I'm hoping Clarivue will make a Nexus 7 protector soon. I've always like them, but I'm an acrylic protector kind of person. Just never cared for the "rubbery" feel. I'll put up with the very occasional minor scratch that you can't even see when the screen's on in exchange for a feel that's identical to the screen itself.

I normally just use cheap ones of ebay on my phones which work well enough however my father got a samusung 10.1 and I think because of the size the static as you pull off the second layer just sucked any surrounding particles to the skin.
I bought one from bestskinsever which is a wet application one and it worked very well and was decently priced so I'm planning to get one from them for the Nexus and my new HTC One XL.
I sent a query on their site and got an initial automated reply, the more queries they got for the Nexus the quicker they will start making them.
I used to use typical screen protectors, but I feel they are easier to get bubbles and dust stuck under them and are much less forgiving for mistakes. This is an even bigger problem with larger screens.
I now only use wet application screen protectors, such as InvisibleShield (too expensive), BestSkinsEver, and Prestige / XtremeGuard. There are much easier to apply after practicing on other devices, much more forgiving as if you don't align right, you can easily remove as it's still wet and just spray more of the solution on (water + drop of dish detergent). The secret is to make sure it's always wet when applying and then once it's on, squeegee..if it's not on yet, keep it wet. They do have a bit of texture, but I don't mind it.
I ordered XtremeGuard from ebay for $9 shipped.. much cheaper than the alternatives right now and it ships quick from Utah. I also ordered a folio style case specifically for the Nexus 7 from ebay (shipped from Hong Kong) .. i made sure it was specific because others are selling Kindle Fire cases, but this one has specific slots for speaker and other inputs and is under $10.
Also to the person wanting full body skin...it doesn't make sense to cover the soft back of the Nexus 7 with something like InvisibleShield.
Edit: Links if it's alright:

Yeah, I wouldn't go with anything other than XOSkins.
I'm absolutely 100% satisfied with the way they've worked on my Nexus.
I "pre-ordered" my Skinomi case from Amazon last week. They estimate 8/1 as the shipping date. That could mean two weeks without a screen protector. My OCD-ness won't like that.

Have you used an XOSkin to be able compare the two? I'm just curious about Matte protectors.
So, are there any good cases for the N7 that can be bought in the UK? I want something that doesn't add too much bulk; I prefer TPU/silicone cases that cover the back (Like the Switcheasy Colors series for iDevices). Also, does the screen even need a protector? I'm very nitpicky about scratches so if someone could help me out that'd be great.

The screen is scratch resistant, although it still can get scratched - so I would say get a decent quality screen protector for it. You can get a silicone case off eBay that's shipped from the UK that is similar to the Switcheasy stuff.
Only thing is I'm not sure which screen protectors are decent to be honest. I don't want another ZAGG one.
I'm keeping an eye out too.
I hate all the thick, fake leather, chinese ones that cover round the bezel.
Anyone know of any good screen protectors that can be bought in the UK? I like the wet apply ones but the ZAGG on my iPod had a little too much 'drag' for my liking.
Best skins ever you can't go wrong quick shipping as well us though.
Those XOSkins look really nice but I believe they're US only as well
I've got the terrapin dry application screen protector and the S line gel case (in clear). Both are widelty available on eBay UK for next to no money. All good
