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

Would love 2 know what u think, good thing is htc will make right if it is bad - with no problem. wonder if it is a 3m. Product

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.

Will that really work? If it does I'm buying it for sure, I could store a ton of my ripped DVD's in good quality that way.
Bro, for screen protectors I wouldn't go with anything other than an XOSkin. I've had one on my Nexus since it was unboxed the first day and wouldn't recommend anything else.
http://xoskins.com/laptops-tablet-r...in-protectors/google-nexus-7-screen-protector
They just put up the Nexus 7 skin available for purchase, I'm placing my order later today so that I can remove the plastic and put on the XO

Good call
What warrants.. XO protector for 20 bucks... I can get like 3 of them on ebay for 5 bucks :|
An accessory by definition is not necessary.

Wet application vs dry application. Lifetime warranty (and they're good for it). If you've never used a wet application screen protector it would be hard to understand. Of all the advantages, the most important is that you can position it perfectly because it slides until it dries. Also, they don't scratch (drag a key across the 3 for $5 screen protector; you'll get a scratch on the plastic; not so on a wet-apply protector). And if you get dust or a hair under the protector during the application you can get it out; if you don't you won't be able to see it anyways (no bubbles). Oh, last thing: they don't peel at the corners or turn yellow. It's pretty much night and day. Take my word, I though the same way you did until I got one on a sale. Never going back...
BTW- I've never used XO protectors, but I'm tempted to jump since it appears they're the only ones with the nexus7 already. Had nothing but good experiences with clearprotector (and you can always get 50% off with coupon "iwantultra") but they don't have the nexus yet and I want it waiting for me when my tablet arrives....

Yes, by definition. But people who don't use accessories like cases and screen protectors usually end up damaging their devices, so, in my opinion, that makes them necessary. Things like USB-OTG and styli are just there for the people who want to use them. Either way, I feel that this can be a helpful thread for everyone, especially if it gets stickied.
Fair enough ( Though my phone has survived without either and only has a minor dent in the back )
What about tablet stands, bluetooth keyboards and UK links?

I've used good wet and dry protectors. Wet is basically like you say, but they never feel right to me. I just don't care for the "rubbery" feel. A good dry acrylic protector feels identical to the screen itself, and only has one drawback aside from a bit more work; they do scratch a little. Even that really isn't a big deal (to me) as the scratches are very light and "disappear" when the backlight is on.
Good dry acrylics (like Clarivue for example) don't yellow or peel. Also, while you do need to take a good amount of time and care to make sure no dust or hairs end up under the protector while you're applying it (you can always lift it back up to remove dust or hairs if they do get trapped), once it's done you'll never have to mess with it again.
Did anyone here who already has a Nexus 7 try the PU Leather Folio Stand Case? I'm planning on purchasing it. Does the screen automatically shut off when the flap is completely covering it?

I can pretty much guarantee it will not. The Nexus 7 doesn't have magnetic sensors, so the only method of screen on/off would be a proximity sensor, which I also don't believe it has.
I also question whether it's truly made for the Nexus 7 or not. There's a bunch of Kindle Fire or similar 7" tablet cases floating around that have been re-branded as "Nexus 7" cases. My recommendation is to wait until you can find a Nexus 7 case on an official manufacturer's website and purchase it there.
I just ordered the styluses that were in the OP. Said they will be here between August 1st and August 17th.

Hey OP -
I found a US seller who is selling the same generic PU flip case as in your OP for the same price and free shipping.
It is less than $10, so I took a flyer on it.:silly:

Awesome! I was holding out on purchasing it myself because of the wait, but now I'll certainly be buying it. I'll replace my link with your link.
I just bought the case from the above link. I'm still looking for cheap screen protectors (hopefully that come in packs). I don't know if I should purchase it from Hong Kong because that is going to take a while. What do you guys think? I'm hoping to purchase it tonight.
*Does the Nexus 7 come with an already applied "screen protector" film?

actually, among the best irrespective of price!
I'm looking to spend at a maximum price of £4 on a case as I'm forking out another £10 to get the 2015 version of this phone for the 4G so I need an inexpensive case. An included screen protector would be great too (doesnt have to be anything fancy, just to cover the screen for a while til' I'm used to the phone)
I'd prefer to order on Amazon, I have searched there but I'm just looking for feedback from people I can 100% trust (You guys)
as far as cases go you wont find one that covers the front screen sadly. Ever since I got this phone I've tried looking for one with no success. but best case I got is this case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MC0KEP2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 cheap and durable. And for screen protector! http://www.amazon.com/Mr-Shield-Gen...lacement/dp/B00MXXTQN4/ref=pd_bxgy_cps_text_y sorry if above price range!
