matte screen protector?

anyone know if there a matte screen protector is available for the hd2 yet? the screen is such a fingerprint/oil magnet and i think a matte sp will alleviate this somewhat

I'd like a matte one too. I used a Power Support anti-glare protector on my iPhone and I liked the feel of it.

Get *ANY* "Anti-Glare" screen protector. I've come to realise that Anti-Glare = Matte, and it's pretty finger-print resistant.

Hi folks,
jus bought this one last night. waiting for it to come, will leave a review once i install it.

Screen prodector for this monster?
Anyone wahtch this scratch-resistant (video)

I installed the original HTC HD2 protector. After that the proximity sensor stopped working.
What I mean is that in a darkened room and in a call when you move the phone away from your face the backlight should come on and likewise turn off when taken close to your face. But this functunality works no more. Again okay after removing the protector.
Any similar experiences ????

Mine is actually working perfectly. Are you sure yours is original? does it come with 2 holes over the proximity sensor because mine does.

Where can I buy the original HD2 Screen Protector?

Yes. It happen to me also! its to difficult to install because of the size of the screen and the fact that should match exactly the light an proximity sensor. I find impossible also to properly install the screen protector around the hardware keys. For me the original HTC screen protector it was a joke. Finally, i give up and remove that peace of crap!

Strange request: Screen protector to reduce senstivity and preferably anti glare

I'm looking for a screen protector that will reduce sensitivity. I'm not sure I like capacitive screens... With my previous Touch HD I can use anything with pin sharp accuracy.

I attached FOLIX-Screen protector antireflective (sorry, can´t post external links as Junior member). Bought it from Amazon GER.
Attaches easy and perfectly, no air-bubbles, gives a much better haptic response and reduces mistyping and best of all: NOW I can fully use it in direct sunlight as Navi-System on my ultralight-gyroplane.
Together with the tweaks and progs from the xperts in this forum (You are absolutely great guys !) it spared me to buy a new mini-notebook for the go.
Wouldn´t know how to live and navigate w/o HD 2 any more

I got a set of three off eBay for £3. They reduce glare because they have a satin texture, and reduce sensitivity (probably because of their cheapness!) but in this instance it's a great advantage.
My keyboard has almost COMPLETELY stopped going crazy outdoors and is now very usable. No tweaks needed. It fits well at the top but bevels off level with the middle of the keys rather than being cut out. This isn't really a problem for me though.
If you want the eBay link I can pass it on. The brand is E-cell.

Thanks for the help people.
I ended up buying the cheapo anti glare protector from e-cell. I'll let you know how it went once received.

I'm using an E-Cell one, it's great!

I bought a pack of 5 cheap one of ebay, and I now have more control over the screen as its less responsive

LOL I went around and bought from 10 different suppliers on ebay their antiglare screen protectors.
I've the e-cell ones too. personally don't think it's very good. it's very thin and it scratches relatively easily. dents easily IMHO.
Of all those I received, I prefer the ones from amor_istores.
I don't like some of the others coz they don't have a curve at the bottom. Not very comfortable with them since others provide "more" protection.
AVOID the ones from hello.6670 : They're not anti-glare at all, but they're fantastic clear screen protectors, looks as if you don't have a screen protector. I emailed wanting to change for something that's really anti-glare, but the seller's pretty rude, and I've actually opened a dispute with them.

Thanks If I don't like the e-cell SP I will give your suggestion a go.

I saw last week a shop selling the invisibleshield for the HD2 and a note that says it reduces sensitivity so need to press extra hard... was a bit too expensive for me.
Hope this helps.

Oh yes just a note. Some of the screen protectors I've tried cause my screen sensitivity to be totally off... you know there's a thread talking about screwed up screen sensitivities, where there are ghost taps, inaccuracies etc? Yes, That definitely happens for me with the invisibleshield, some of the mirror screen protectors.
of course, your experiences may vary. I wouldn't have pinned it down to the screen protectors if I didn't start off with a super good one, with no problems, and problems starting only with some of the other screen protectors and gone once I removed them.

This WILL reduce censitivity but also it will increase friction. meaning, it will be hard to slide your fingers on the screen since you're practially sliding your finger on some non-slide material.

I've got one of those on at the moment. Does work for anti glare and makes the screen less sensitive.

[Q] So I got a scratch on my screen ... what now?

Hi there.
As the title reads I got a 3mm long scratch on the display of my galaxy ... the scratch distorts the colours, so it's quite annoying once you notice it (and it's particularly annoying on brighter backgrounds) ... I have absolutely no idea how it happened, as I am using a bag for it all the while it's in my pocket to prevent it from getting scratches...
Soo, my question:
Is there anything I can do to "fix" the scratch?

Once scratch happens, then it pretty much stays there.
Sometime a screen protectors can help hide the scratches make it less noticeable. Other than that there are no way to fix it I suppose.

Good screen protector hide all scratches.

Please don't try this at home!
If the scratch isn't too deep then you may be able to polish it out with some wet/dry sandpaper.
But you may damage the touch screen if you go too deep.

For ****s sake DO NOT take sand paper to the touch screen!! what kind of advice is that?
once scratched, that's it. if it really annoys you, you'll have to replace the screen.

Wet/dry sandpaper is how a clear coat is polished on a car. As I said if it isn't too deep then it's an option. What you are saying is that you are screwed anyway and have to replace it. If the OP is already at that point of frustration, then they could at least try before having to replace the screen.
Last resort before accepting your screen is stuffed?

At first I also thought what a silly idea to use sand paper on glass.
But after googling the web and quick research, it can be done!
Using high grit silicon carbide wet/dry sanding paper can remove scratches from glass.
Though, I wouldn't try it my self but thanks for the pointer.
here are an example of what can be done:

Screen protector I would recommend to hide the scratches is the Zagg invisible shield.
It is made of polymer that kinda adhere to the screen very tightly help smooth over scratches and make them less noticeable compare to other brand.
BIG BIG DISCLAIMER:
Zagg invisible shield is NOT for everyone. The polymer material can feel sticky and a bit soft. So be warned, it is a love hate relationship when it comes to zagg.

Well i got 2 scratches one is 5mm long the other is 8mm. Fortunately they are on the far right side, close to the bezel, so they don't really bother me at all.
You got only one small scratch, that's nothing
Even that i had the first scratches on the second day i owned the device i will still not make it look ugly with some silly shield. Im expecting a year out of this device, and don't care if it's scratched when that year is gone.

If you change your mobile phone every year then I can understand.
However, my mobile phone lasted me at least 2-3 years each. My previous two was XDA O2 > Samsung Omnia i900 and now Galaxy S

I noticed that the (super) AMOLED displays are relatively cheap in comparison to the traditional LCD screens that you can find on for example the HTC's. Here in the Netherlands I found a company that will repair/substitute a Galaxy S screen for 100 euro. (Compared to 250 euro for a HD2 screen) And I didn't search that hard. I bet that there are companies that do it for less.
If other solutions doesn't work for you, google the internet and look what the prices are for a new display in your neighbourhood. Maybe its much cheaper than you thought.

That's beyound any logic.
OLED/AMOLED screens are more expensive than LCD screens, 250$ for the HD2 screen is an overly blown-out price, you can find screens on ebay for less than half that price.
About sandpaper and whatnot- Yeah, high-grit sandpaper is a way to polish out scratches on glass.
I won't ever try it on the SGS, since i don't know where exactly is the digitizer layer.

You won't really need to replace the OLED screen, its the capacitive touch screen layer that needed to be change.
For my omnia i900, I have plenty of scratches on my screen and I replaced the touch layer at one of the local store for less than 40USD.

aren't the touchsensors build in the screen itself? If I remember it well is the biggest advantage of super Amoled that it doesn't have a touch screen layer.

Indeed that is the case. The SAMOLED screens have the touch technology integrated into the screen so you will have to replace the entire screen.
But someone found 100euros for a replacement in Holland... can you post a link to that? Seems like a good backup to me.

If its not insured, then get it insured and claim the repairs of the insurance. Accidental damage should cover it.

outch, didn't know. best keep it scratch-less then.

From eHow:
Use Coca Cola to remove small scratches. Apply a small amount to a soft cloth and rub the scratches. Re-apply until the scratches are gone. The citric acid and carbonation in the soda help clean and remove small scratches in some items.

Adding a second screen protector on top of installed one

Wondered if anyone had done this. I am considering adding a second film protector on top of the pre installed protector from Samsung.
It says be careful of scraping nails on screen and I've noticed that it actually happens often that I scrape a touch of my nail harder than I should.

This seems like a very poor idea. It would affect image quality and might even affect touch sensitivity. I imagine it would just end up pulling up the factory screen protector anyway.

You should install not 1 but 10 or 20 more soft screen protectors in top of the one already applied!
What you need to do is remove the one already applied and enjoy the best quality of your 2k smartphone, if something happens before Dec 2021, pay the 150 and get a new inner display installed by Samsung! Enjoy at least a full year of your phone!
Ive owned both the Fold1 and now the Fold2 and being using them as dsily driver banging the phone around with tools and boxes while i do mechanic jobs! These phones are tank! My wife has long finger nails and never had a single scratch! Lets be honest, who tap their phone with a finger nail? Come on!
My 2 cents! Peace out...

Granted screen protectors are made to flex, the more you stack on top of each other, the less they'll flex. It'll cause it to stiffen and put pressure on the display. Doesn't seem like a good idea lol.

Yeap... that fold line is trouble.
It's also possible the plastic and/or adhesive could be reactive with factory one turning it into a gooey mess over time.

I'm actually thinking of doing this too. I prefer matte screen protectors to the shiny, fingerprint magnet that came with it. Maybe we could have the existing protector replaced with something else at the Samsung store or something.

Question Anybody curious about pre-installed Screen Protectors?

I have been using the device for a month, the front screen preinstall protection is clearly noticeable. My curiosity, the inside screen has pre-install screen protector? as it is quite flat (and no camera hold) so i am really not sure it is protected by screen protector or not, if it is there it is very perfect cutting and very unnoticeable. Any confirm?

I don't think the big inner screen had a protector. I put a matt one on though. Couldn't stand it. I need a protector on everything. Except myself it seems, 6 kids later

yes i think so, so i order one for myself also. Just dont understand the huawei instruction at serting up the phone that this device is pre-applied special screen protector, and they instruct even do not applied third party protector on top of it. So how do you feel when you applied another one on it, touch sensitivity is ok? and does it bubble when fold unfold several times?
