HTC HD2 OEM Screen Protector

First off, hi guys - new HD2 (Leo) owner here and have to say I love it!!
Anyway, thought I'd just say something about this product. It's rubbish...
Poor fit, didn't stick properly and bubbles galore - stay well clear of it IMO
Anyway, will be lingering about as still getting my head about WinMo and the various ROMs about - still running stock 1.48 ROM out the box but it's an awesome phone and definitely glad I got it...

Well my friend, for a first post it's a good point well made. The HTC screen protectors are ****e! I managed to lay mine without bubbles, but at the bottom where it fits over the buttons it keeps lifting up and just doesn't settle properly. It's now starting to get crap underneath it, completely defeating it's intended purpose.
Final verdict... EPIC FAIL!
Oh and Welcome to XDA Developers EddyOS. I'm sure you'll be a flashaholic in no time.

Did yours come with a screen protector in the box? I didn't see one in mine but I may have overlooked it, or different packaging in Asia. So tomorrow I'm on a hunt to find one.

I dont recal there being one in mine either. Hmm maybe i should look alittle harder.

Maybe they ordered the original OEM ones from HTC as a side-order!?
I did, and mine are in the mail.
Should arrive tomorrow...
Hope they are not as bad as stated in this post...
Will be sure to comment on it here when I get them

Yeah, bought mine from the HTC Shop - didn't get any in the box...

Ordered mine too... complete waste of money

I got the official ones too, I thought it was me just fitting it badly as it didn't seem to fit the screen and had bubbles. I couldn't get it to sick below the buttons either. It had to come off. I got another one from Amazon and it now fits as I would expect it to.
I would not recommend the official protector from HTC, sorry.

What ones did you get in the end? Might be tempted to get one to be on the safe side but my phone does stay in it's pouch when not in use...

Why would you need to have a screen protector......
If you guys have been hiding under your bed sheets then its time to wake up.
Leo, AKA HD2 had a scratch resistant glass and not a cheap plastic face.
Just have a look at the following link and you will agree....

you need guts to do it, but i didnt have the guts to do that.
But atleast the screen protector is not needed.

Of course a screen protector is needed. It may be made of glass, but it's not bullet proof glass!

This is the one I went for from Amazon. Fits much better than the official HTC one as it sits just slightly within the screen profile rather than exactly the same size. I have a 100% fix now.
But as one of the posts above points out, we shouldn't really need a protector on it because it is scratch resistant, but I go for peace of mind.

GUYS!
Please stay away from HTC screen protector. It is the worst screen protector I have ever had. First of all it is almost impossible to apply correctly, I had 4 and scrapped every single one! (just to say it is not the first device with big screen I tried to apply screen protector and I never had troubles before). Second thing is that it gets very smudgy.... for me complete waste of money.

Completely aggree with you. I also waste 3 of them. finally a give up!
Not recomended!

My HTC screen-protectors arrived today...
And I have to admit, I didn't really believe the people writing about how bad they were.
But I have to aggree, what a piece of s***!
I got 2 in the pack, and the first one messed up on a biblical level for me.
The second one actually seemed to fit as intended, but I just couldn't get the corner to fit right...
I got away with no bubbles underneath, but the damn corner just couldn't fit.
We're talking a matter of milimeters here...
Stay away from them, like everyone else is saying

I'll join the chorus.
I ordered a pack of 2, and quickly noticed that they're very different from the (actually quite OK) HTC HD protectors.
The adhesive side seems to attract small particles from the air within seconds. Just one such small particle produces an ugly bubble. I don't want to be seen with such bubbles. My wife would call be "Bubble Boy".
Since the adhesive is quite strong, it's impossible to make minute adjustments the moment a part of the protector touches the glass. This is compounded by the exact measurements - even when I thought it fit wonderfully on one end of the screen, the other end collided with the screen bezel, making it a bust.
The protector is also very thin and flexible, so it is almost impossible to hold without bending and getting fingerprints underneath, further ruining its appearance.
This product should be retracted from the market. I completely understand why the HD2 doesn't come bundled with these protectors:
1. they're practically impossible to fit
2. the HD2's glass doesn't really need it
I'll live hard and fast, without protection.

What for?
My HD2 is rocking along very nicely without a screen protector... with this scratch resistant glass, I really didn't see the point.
I avoid putting my phone in the same pocket as my loose change or my keys - but that was a pretty easy adjustment to make.
... Just don't see what I'd want to use a screen protector for other than to take a beautifully slim piece of art look like something it's not.

I don't see how applying a screen protector that's probably less than 0.5mm thick will ruin the look of the device.

Its about personal choice
Screen protector or no screen protector? Condom or no condom? Safety glasses or no safety glasses? Its a matter of choice linked to a a personal assessment of risk, cost and benefit.
I always use one........

It's not "needed". It's scratch resistant glass - we have discussed this here before. It's the same type of glass you get with better watches. Do you use them with a protector? If you "want" damage the glass you can do this with force, but then a screen protector wouldn't help neither.

[Q] HD7 Gorilla Glass?

Hi,
Can anyone help? I've been trying to find out if the glass used on the HD7 is Gorilla Glass (or an equivalent). A student of mine showed me how to drag a screwdriver up and down a Desire HD screen with no affect whatsoever, so I'm hoping the HD7 is built of the same stuff. I'm also rubbish at putting screen protectors on
Cheers...
YT

From what I was told at Mobile media, It is a gorilla screen/equivalent.

Why don't you try the same with the screwdriver and let know how did that work out for you?
LOL.... Why do you care dude. Personally, I use a full transparent sleeve for my device which is not silicon or hard plastic, but fixable. This cover, does not allow the screen to touch the surface when the phone is put screen down. So I have removed the screen protector.
So, if you have something like that, I guess you are fine without the screen protector. I usually put my phone in my pockets which have my car keys or coins and my cig lighter and stuff. They never scratched the screen.

Thanks for your reply

Unfortunately, im not sure what its made of but ive already scratched it from standard keys in pocket

No HTC device use gorilla glass, an equivalent, maybe, but not the actual trademarked GG.

Thanks for all the replies... looks like I'm going to have to fight with those damned screen protectors again

The best screen protectors I know of are from Zagg and Bodyguardz. They are both Military Grade. From experience I would choose Bodyguard. Zaggs are easy to find in stores though. Use both a screen protector and hard case, it goes hand in hand.

I never used a screen protector on my HD2 and it is completely scratch-free. I don't have one on my HD7 either and again, no scratches.
Having said that, I have a golden rule of never putting my phone in a pocket together with anything hard (oo-er!). My keys always go in a different pocket.
Glass is generally quite hard to scratch though.
It'd be really cool if they made phone screens out of a slice of man-made white sapphire like they use on Rolex watches. That stuff is the second hardest transparent substance known to man, second only to diamond. Mind you, that might put the price up a bit, my Submariner was over three grand....

I had my HD7 since it came out, no screen protector, no pouch, no scratches at all.

Well, my asnwer is a little late, but...
Corning lists the HD7 (along with many other HTC phones) as a Gorilla Glass devices.
I can't post the link since I'm a new user.
But check out corninggorillaglass[dot]com/featured-products
Although, my HD7 already has scratches. It had them after about a week. Just from having it in my pocket.

Really..
I was trying to find that information out also, funny that Corning lists our HD7s as having Gorilla Glass because I have micro scratches on mine also. Hmm....
My HD2, which they list also is smashed to pieces from a drop of about 2 1/2 feet on the ground. Either the glass isn't as tough as they say or somewhere they're dropping the ball on certain phones (USA maybe?).
Cyph

HTC phones were never listed has having GG before until recently. Leads me to believe that the ones use by HTC are not the same because I seriously doubt some of the earlier phones have em. It looks like they pretty much just put their whole entire lineup on there.

My HD7 picked up a tiny scratch after 3 days use. The screen scratches, period.
Buy a screen protector and forget all about what make of glass it is, its glass which needs protection.

Im considering getting a HD7 (To replace my Motorola MileStone) & the screen is my biggest concern
Can the HD7 take a hit or survive a fall ? without the screen being shattered into pieces ?
I knew some who dropped his HD2 & the screen got shattered & it costs (eql. 300 USD) to fix it in Saudi Arabia , which more than the price of a new HD2 these days
I can't have a sensitive phone like that ,especially coming from Motorola MileStone (now thats one tough phone , you won't believe what my MileStone survived)
I really like the HD7 (& the Windows Phone 7 platform) , but if thats means I've to replace the screen every time the phone falls from me , I think I'll better off with a Motorola Atrix running Launcher 7
Thanks for your help

The screen is glass, yes it will shatter! Best suggestion is buy a good case.

little random...but i suggest an anti glare, matte screen protector to everyone! pretty awesome....and its drastically eliminated finger prints, hated having to wipe the screen all the time.

I have dropped my HD7 3 times so far, but I have an aluminum case from pdair. Has totally been worth the case. Otterbox also has a commuter case. I think with the right case they're ok.
Sent from my HTC HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

I personally think the build quality of the HD2 is better than HD7. Since the HD2 is a completely candybar, doesn't like the HD7 on the top and bottom part. I dropped my HD2 several times, put to the same pockets but there was no damage that can be seen clearly outside. But that story doesn't happen with my HD7. One drop to hard surface, on the pockets as daily use = one noticeable scratch,one small dot crack inside the screen + damages outside.
Make me want to have another phone right now, but there is no point to buy a Windows Phone right now since the Mango come with Skype and front camera, maybe a better CPU...

Galaxy note broken screen after only 2 weeks: anyone else?

Hello. I bought a galaxy note on 28th november. After only 2 weeks of absolutely normal and careful use, my screen is scratched and broken. Ok, it is a small crack, but it is not good.
It never fell and it never hit anything. After only 2 days, i noticed some scratchs and some other came in the days after. Then, the part of the screen between the upper edge and the speaker broke in two, with a crack (small, 5mm but still a crack) going from the edge to the speaker. I can't post a photo as i sent it back to samsung for repairs (it had also display issues). Do you know a reason for it? It should be gorilla glass, and i only kept it in my pockets without anything inside apart the smartphone. Do you think samsung will repair it since it happened during normal use after ONLY 2 weeks? I'm really annoyed and disappointed.
Anyone experiencing glass resistance issues?
Thanks

Call samsung and send it in they will fix it..

Yes, i did it and i'm waiting, and i also adressed the lines issue and the green/banded screen, but i am in italy and i'm not sure if it is covered by warranty, it should: they can say i broke it.

The Corning Gorilla Glass was one reason I went with the SGS2.
The other reason was fear of provoking the wrath of God for having such a sensationally beautiful device (the Note). It's an awesome device, really.
But God smote those who worshiped a golden calf, too.
lol Sorry, I'm not really a religious fanatic. But yeah, sucks about your screen. Hope Sammy fixes that one up for you.

Welcome Nickelsilver and please don't take this personally and in NO way I'm defending Samsung or the Note but I have to say the neither scratches or dents/cracks come by their own.
They just don't happen/appear magically by themselves on the phone's screen/body. Maybe someone is messing with you Note without you knowing it?
E.g: I have 1mm small and barely noticeable scratch on the top left corner which I suspect it came from the ONLY 1 time my Note slipped from the passenger's seat and fell in the gap between the passenger's door/seat.

I went through 3 screens on my dell streak. Now that I have the note which is even bigger I was so cautious I treated it like a delicate fragile little flower. Needless to say after 2 weeks I noticed what appeared to be a scratch going up from the bottom middle halfway up. Turns out this is not a magical scratch that sprang out of nowhere but an actual crack on the outer glass screen. I have never dropped it but perhaps it was somehow flexed.
No warranty of course. I have ordered the glass itself from overseas and when it gets here in a month I suppose I will try replacing that piece individually as its only the outer glass that seems cracked. Hopefully they do not glue the screens together like they did in the streak ><

Ps. Dont listen and worry about this guy...he thinks only his opinions are important and others experiences are just JUNKS and BORING! Not sure why he would even bother to reply, if they really bores him that much. Maybe he really thinks that he BOOFY the witch hunter or something
Plus.. He forgot that he has also once posted a question regarding to his screen problem too here on the forum.

Gorilla glass is bull****. I had dell 5 streak, and I changed the screen more than 5 times. Little drop will result in screen loss. Do not depend on gorilla glass.

My Samsung Galaxy Note are broke
Yesterday I was knocked out of the hands under my 40 days old Samsung Galaxy Note, the cover glass is cracked along its entire length as a spider's web, while the LCD screen is not damaged, that still works, receiving the touch command. The solution I found in the orders of the new protective glass over eBay. Maybe that was too much angry because it happened to me, but NOTE is too amazing, and I somehow survive.. I'll let it be when we come new safety glass

I do not think this is a witch hunt. More of an informative thread on one weakness to an otherwise amazing device. It may be that until an indestructive clear glass is created that we will continually face this on any large phone. Anything this large will flex easily and likely crack. One thing Samsung definately did right was not glue the glass to the LCD behind it. I put a clear screen cover over mine and you cant even see the crack anymore. Were this a dell streak you would have half of your screen blacked out.
This is definitely the best mobile device out there in my opinion, people should just be extremely cautious with where they carry it. Mine most likely cracked in my pocket from slight flexing.

The glass on the note shouldn't break even when flexed unless it's not Gorilla glass.
Gorilla glass is not only scratch resistant,it is also shatter resistant.
If the glass is breaking frequently on the notes,then I wonder if they really have Gorilla glass.

That demonstration glass at the beginning of the video is about 3 times thicker than what Samsung uses on the Note/Galaxy S2/Galaxy S SAMOLED panels. And it's quite a bit smaller, height/width wise (it's about iPhone 4 sized).
Thickness makes a significant difference in flexibility and shatter resistance. Which is off on a tangent, because the main reason Samsung and others uses GG and similar techniques is not for shatter resistance.
It's almost entirely for the combination of higher scratch resistance vs metals (all bets are off with sand particles) and a better tactile feel (it's smoother) than non-treated glass.

Sure it may not be as thick on the note but you are never going to flex the phone anywhere as much as that demonstration.
My point is that if it is gorilla glass,it shouldn't be that easy to crack the screen given the abuse that it is supposed to be able to take.

All these? Gorilla Glass
And all these? Gorilla Glass
How about all these? Gorilla Glass
Or maybe all these? Gorilla Glass

It's been 10 days since i bought "the Note". I dropped the device just once from 1 meter height. It was a free fall with not much impact power. The screen has a crack on the upper right corner. I know every product is meant to last but so easy , so fast ! ??? Thankfully it still works with no functional issues. It's just the protective glass on top of the actual LCD that is broken. But u can still feel it while wiping your finger and it is appearent...
Hardware wise The Note is simply outragous but when it comes to software and durability it can't even come closer to what i used to find on HTC devices

The weight of the note will count against it during falls compared to say a very light phone like the SG2.Impact is going to be much harder if they both fell from the same height especially given te size of the notes screen.
Until they can make the note lighter,users will just have to be more careful not to drop it.Gorilla glass is not unbreakable.

I get my note tomorrow. Now I'm all paranoid

Q, Corning Gorilla Glas

Hey guys,
after my LG Optimus Black get bricked, i bought me the Nokia Lumia 710, really love it now. But after a week!!!!! it has fallen down from about 40cm on the floor, it is carpet. Now i have a one week old Device for 200$ with BIG Scratches, it has gorilla glas!!!!! im really sad, till my iPad broke, then my LG OB, yet after 1 week my fckn Nokia, i dont believe its my year i wrote the support that it is unbelieveable that some Glas, which is called "nearly unbreakable" get such scratches after a soft falldown. They wrote it is no warranty and said i have to repair by my own money. Now what you think? My LG OB never had scratches and i dropped it from a tree! it has fallen so often, on hard ground, but nothing happened. What you guys and girls think? do they have to repair or am i fckd :/
Im posting it in OB Section, because im new to Nokia and my Question is variable i think.

ask in the nokia forum
btw, this screen cannot get scratched with such a low fall
(not even after falls)
its a manufacturing defect maybe, they should replace it
but i think they wont believe you
try protesting

Gorrilla glass is only scratch resistant, not scratch proof, I'll have you know
Anyways, my ZUNE HD has gorrilla glass and I dropped a shot glass on it from a low height and the screen cracked (it actually rolled off the top of the desk into the first drawer where my HD was, so like 4-5 inches)
Outside of that I had scratches on it too,
you can take keys to the stuff but sand in your pocket or something like that, glass, probably dont want that to happen.
Resistant means it resists, but look at history, resistance can get ****ed up mighty fast lol
Anyways, manufacturer usually guarantees screen replacements, just make something up, or be like yeah it just happened I dont even know it was in my pocket and I used it one day and it was like that.
you could probably contact Corning (gorrilla glass dudes) and be like yo wtf
Theres some screen protectors you can buy online that have lots of sticky stuff on the back and they actually fill in some scratches, look that up, I looked up all kinds of things because I think I had to pay a bunch of money to fix mine (ended up retiring it for an OB)

No screen protector

No screen protector on my phone and my god, gorilla glass 5 sucks so bad. I've put this phone through the same exact usage and storage and pockets and what not that my 3t went through and holy crap it is so scratched up and cracked from less than 1 month of using it. I take really good care of my phones so every time i pull this out of my pocket and see a new one i get so frustrated beyond belief. Theres over 30 scratches and grooves on my phone now and theres 0 on my 3t. If anything ive been way gentler on this phone than my 3t. This is a case where the higher number is worse.

I am not sure..but something is pricking the device in your pocket..

For me gorilla glass 5 is a flop.
I NEVER use my phones naked! there is no scratch resistant glass yet in use in the actual smartphones.

My phone pocket is dedicated solely to my phone. Its judt that gorilla glass 5 has no scratch resistance especially not as mucn as 4 did. Theres no scratches on my 3t.... It pisses me off that i paid 500 bucks for a phone that cant even take a key.

I'm not rocking a screen protector. It's been over a month. Gorilla glass is holding up very well. No scratches at all. No complaints.
I don't put my keys in the same pocket as my phone though. That's crazy! Lol

That's your problem right there.......Sorry, but I treat my phone better than that. Keys never ever touch my phone. I don't care what kind of advertisements about new glass tech there are. If you care so much about scratches to post about it here, then you should be using a screen protector or being more careful with your phone.
My OP5 screen is naked and I have not had any issues with it. Phone protection is really a personal thing. Everyone treats their phone different. Depending on what you do, protect your phone accordingly. There really is not comparison between different people.

I dont keep my keys near my phone. Idk where u all got that info from as I said i only keep my phone in its own pocket with nothing else. These scratches appear from nowhere and show how brittle and weak this glass if if my 3t went through the same usage as this one with no scratches

What screen protector do you all recommend? i just bought this spigen case here. Should i just get the protector from oneplus' website? Or is there a really good one that can slide under the case so its not even noticable?

You don't seem to understand how it works. First, GG won't protect your from cracks, only scratches. Secondly, it's still limited to the hardness of the glass. Any mineral that's harder than it will scratch it, so it's immune to keys, but sand will wreck it.

I am not a screen protector fan.. but reading so many compliments about how poor gorilla glass 5 is vs scratches.. hmm, damn! I will have to think twice before removing the pre-applied screen protector..

Are we sure he took off the preinstalled protector, and it's not just scratches in the plastic protector?

Sorry can't believe that a soft cloth pocket would scratch ANY smartphone screen these days or even from 3 years ago. Something scratched that screen and certainly if you're mentioning gouges. You mentioned a key... that is what did it and just lightly in a pocket wouldnt do it either... so must have sat on the phone with the key as well.

Even that wouldn't have done it, I don't think. JerryRigEverything tried to scratch the screen with keys and it didn't do anything. He'd either have to put a LOT of pressure on it, or he has shards of something harder in his pocket [sand, probably]

Maybe he has something else really hard in his pocket, he needs to explain that one to his significant other though.

Idk about that. It seems to be the least scratch resistant than every phone ive ever had.
