easy to stick on screen and easy cleaning

Personally I highly reccomend the mirror screen protectors! They're extremely cheap on ebay too, I've gotten a couple packs of them because friends of mine have seen them and wanted them too. You can get a pack of 3 w/ 3 microfiber cloths included for less than a dollar shipped

What are those like? I saw them on eBay but I wasn't quite sure of the point? do they stop glare somehow?
any images?

None of the screen protectors that I tried work well. They all make the screen feel odd. My solution was to buy a tmobile mytouch fitted folio case. It covers the screen when not in use, as well as protecting the whole phone. Then, once awhile I use alcohol swaps to clean the screen.

I use a Zagg invisible shield. It works great and although initial cost is high, there is a lifetime warranty so anytime your screen protector gets scratched, you can send it back in and get a new one for just s&h.
Go to zagg.com or search for invisible shield in Google

How's FREE???

Since I'm a Magic owner, thought I'd share. Dun feel like posting this in every single forum for the phones that they have.
I also submitted the news to the XDA Portal in hopes of attempting to let everyone else know aswell.
[edited] they include 2 full guards per order, incase you mess up putting it on. If you don't you've got a backup. Pretty cool of them. Plus they offer lifetime replacements.

Yea ive never had much luck with them. Can never quit get them to sit right or they always have a bubble i cant get out.

I use the one that came with the phone. Its holding up good

which screen protector brand is better?
the one that came from my magic, worn out.

Recommend a cheapo screen protector on ebay (1-3$)

I am looking for a cheapo 2-3 pack protectors from ebay, that will maintain the gloss of the HD2, be bubble free and easy to apply, and fit the HD2.
If anyone got something reasonable recently, can you please shoot me a link to the product page or seller ?
It's important that it will be a 2-5 pack or something because I always mess up the first few ones trying to apply that thing

This may not be the answer you're looking for, but most of the cheapo screen protectors are useless. They are much harder to lay down bubble free and they don't last very long from my experience with them. I suggest you spend around $10. and get a Vikuiti screen protector for your HD2. It lays down very easily and bubble free if you are careful and do the job in a dust free environment like the bathroom after running the shower for a few minutes.
You will likely end up spending less money in the long run and having less frustration. You will also enjoy a better look and feel on your lovely 4.3 inch screen.

u do not need a pack when they are this cheap, buy all u want - HURRY

Well, the protector is here and I just applied it to my US HD2
It fits PERFECTLY, has 2 small holes for the sensors, and goes around the hark keys.
There was almost ZERO difference in color and visibility between the naked HD2 and the HTC Original protector, so very good job on that.
Hand movement is great and smooth..
No complaints at all.
Got a couple for 6 dollars.

Skinomi Tech Skin+Screen Protector - Carbon

Hey Everyone, I was goofing around Amazon and came across this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846
So I tought I would let everyone know! It is a cool looking carbon skin,with a screen protector for $15... My only concern is that it looks like it is one big skin on the back so that could be problematic.

Looks OK all we need is a Guinea pig lol

Probably!!! But they call it that and can charge $5 more!!!!

I'll give it an try and report back!

Ordered one of these on 8/16. Got dilivery notice right away with USPS tracking number.
USPS tracking said "Status: Electronic Shipping Info Received" and has never changed.
Waited checking tracking daily and hoping.
Late on 8/27 got an e-mail from amazon telling me my order was being refunded "Due to customers request." I never requested a refund. I wanted the product.
Checked out the companies feed back and found out I am not the only one that happened to. E-mailed to see what is going on, but others say I will never hear from them.
Time to look for other solutions.

Same thing happened to me.

Could you post a couple of pictures of it? If not, no worries. Thanks!

i got this from amazon on friday and put it on no pics it does add some depth to the streak and scratch protection. I just cant wait for the otterbox commuter to come out. I heard a tell on another forum that they are listed under dell premier logins with a 2 week backlog. i cant confirm that yet because my shipping person is out on vacation for the week.

Otterbox 100%

That link was a surprise . . That is my Streak . . my pictures . . After that I got the Otterbox, the $19 one .. Took off the skin and put on the Otterbox .. HATED IT [don't like the way it feels to the touch, I am constantly picking lint off of it..] and I have since purchased another skin. I bought the clear one .. Sort of wish I bought the one in the picture again but the clear skin hasn't arrived yet. Maybe I will like it. I like the skinomi screen protector better than the one that comes with the otterbox. diane

You should try the otterbox communter if you don't like the feel of the impact. The communter has a hard shell.

if you are talking about the mugen 4800mh battery then probably none of the otterbox cases... they are all perfect fit of the original streak size.

Mm, i didn't know that, it was just the link i found on the interweb. Anyway, got my send notification, i'll report back when i've installed them.

I ordered mine last week sometime, I kept forgetting to post the link (non-affiliated link iirc).

Thank you for the link! 2.85 dollars for that protection is a very nice price! Bought a Copter Display Shield (same type as StealthGuard) for about 35 bucks in Sweden ...

Thanks a bunch, just got my Milestone protector for €2,22

Thx i get mine too i hope they will delivering me in France !

Just ordered to Denmark, sounds like a great deal. I had an InvisibleShield for my Magic, which I wasn't that pleased with. It fell off rather quick and got black-ish instead of see-through. Lets see how this stuff works on a Legend.

can someone tell me why I would need such a thing? The legend is housed in aluminum already, and I highly doubt it could be scratched. I could understand if someone is using this just for the screen protector, but still, there are ones that cost less on ebay...

Everything scratches, and if you plan on selling your phone after you have upgraded in the future, it will still look brand new if you had a product like this on it.

Scratched it already, happens easier then you'd think!

Ordered one. Heared from people that you have to use a lot of water to install them properly, and that they have a very rubbery feel. But hey they are nearly free...
Sent from my HTC Legend using Tapatalk

I got mine yesterday.
Yes, these really feel rubbery as the plastic is fairly thick.
The really anoying thing is that the side pieces go all the way from the top to the plastic piece on the bottom therefore you can't open it, or, you can cut it like I did
Overall it's a good product for the price (muhahah).

Not worth the postage fee to be honest
Very thick - bends when trying to remove them from the paper they come on, and a nightmare to install - What more do you expect for free? lol

Got mine yesterday and I must say that I'm very happy with them. Installation is like on every protector with liquid...I must say that they are definitely better than the zagg ones witch were I nightmare for me to install on my girlfriends iPhone. All you need is PATIENCE and lot (and I mean a lot) of water! I've put water in a bowl with 2 drops of dish washing liquid, then make your fingers wet and take the protector slowly off it's paper (it's easier with wet fingers), and then put the whole protector in the water, let it drip off(not completely), apply and patiently wait 6 ours or use a hair dryer to get it done quicker (but you will still have to wait after). With the part's that include bending you should do the flat part and wait until it starts to stick, and then bend the other parts.

[Open Thread] Thoughts On Otterbox Case For EVO Shift 4G

So I just wanted to start a thread for myself and anyone else who may want to read it
Basically anyone who has an otterbox case for the evo shift or has seen/used it or whatever just leave your opinions/reviews whatever. I am thinking of buying one so just wondering

I don't have one for the Shift but I've used an Otterbox on other devices and would recommend it if you have the slightest fear of damaging your handset.
I believe the last one I used was a Commuter which completely encased the handset and seemed to be able to take a hit. The back was too smooth for me so I had a little trouble re-learning how to hold it and the thickness of the handset increased significantly but overall it felt safe. Worth the extra money.

I am using the otterbox commuter case on my shift right now. I like it a lot. The fit and finish seems like it is completely a part of the phone. Only two complaints are:
1. If I try to move an icon from one hone screen to another, the piece covering the screen makes it difficult to move it to the "edge" - not a big deal, you learn to adjust.
2. When opening the slider, I hear a click sound, sounding like the little tabs holding the upper piece on are catching as it moves. Again, kinda not picky.
All in all, I think it is a great case and makes me worry a lot less about dropping my device. I would definitely recommend it.

Awesome seems like ill want to pick it up. I recently cracked the screen on my shift and made a few scuff marks so that's what seriously turned me to getting the case.

Tip for putting on the included screen protector...patience and a clean work surface! I couldn't get it to work well at first, then I ended up dropping it on the carpet. I was ready to give up on it until my wife took it from me and got it to work. So...if you have the patience of an ADHD kid on meth like I do...lol. It was my first screen protector too so. Anyways have fun!
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

definitely worth getting. i have the commuter series otterbox and it makes my phone look and feel like a beast. only thing that annoys me sometimes is the dust/lint that gets stuck to the rubber on the case, but i just blow it off.

I haven't had a problem opening the slider at all.
I have one and love it! Top of the line case, looks good feels good and protects good! I would totally recommend it to anyone with a Shift!..

I use it on my shift, and have had them on two other phones. Like everyone else said, its a great case, and really does look like a part of the phone.

I'm now on my second otterbox after a free factory replacement, my only nit pics are the usb port cover doesn't stay closed, and it clicks everytime I open it, feels like one of the clips is catching....
Sent from my MiuiSpeedy

Just got the Commuter series and I'm a fan so far. Makes the phone feel more substantial and gives a better grip. The only issue was with the headphone and USB port covers, which didn't stay down. I just removed them, but DON'T Rip them off, it'll tear the rubber casing. Found that out on the USB port one so I cut the headphone one off. Either way makes the rubber a little loose around the port but not hugely annoying unless you're a perfectionist(which I can be). I'll just apply a little glue and seat it on the plastic frame.

That's great. The retail price from otterbox.com is $35 so thats a great buy. There's just something about ebay that I can't trust lol. That's me and my paranoia tho.

I guess that's not technically a bad thing if the fronts hard to get off.
I just hope the back isn't the same when I get mine.
Is it?

Nope I can confirm that, being really careful you can take the back without any problem..
I Think that the front parts being hard to take off it's a good thing.

Had mine for 2 or 3 months now
Bought it from Amazon for like $25 when they finally came available for the shift and had to wait a month before I got it in hand.
I'm not as impressed as i would be with the protection if it was a defender case. I had the black case with fake carbon fiber and belt clip before. The otterbox commuter is better then that one, by how much I'm not sure.
I dropped my phone about a month ago. I don't know if it just hit the right place of the case, and the back case came flying off the phone, the side clips where busted off, so the back case would not stay on any more.
I decided to call up otterbox and see if it was under warr. and if they would replace it. AMAZINGLY they said YES so they shipped me a new one for free i didn't even have to pay shipping. NICE. It was quick and easy I thought that was soooo cool. Because of that i will continue to buy otterbox, and recommend them to others.
In future i hope to buy defender cases (better protection) which means no more slider phones which i think i am ready for now that touch screens are so much better. All my old phones have been sliders with full keyboards from back in the day with my old HTC t-mobile MDA, which made me find this site.
Thats my 2 cents.
