I like the precut screen protector that comes with the Touch in the box but you only get one . After a while that one gets a bit beat up so I want to replace it but I could never cut one as well as that one was. Id love to buy a place where I could buy them, even in a pack of 10 (girlfriend has the touch too) to replace them from time to time.
Anyone know where to get them precut to fit?
Screen Protectors
Telus in Canada sells them but they are a bit pricey. They appear to be $9.99 ea. Check it out here:

So hopefully someone knows where to get them at a better price! This is the kind of price you had to pay for a screen protector for my Sony Clie when I first got it but they eventually came down dramatically.

Those dont appear to be the shape of the entire plastic screen, just the lit part.
I emailed HTC and they gave me a number to call the parts center in the US to ask about getting them.
Here are a couple of places I found that look to be custom cut. One is a bit pricey though...

I'm going with the crystal touch anti-glare from Boxwave. I'll let you know how it does once it gets to me.
No kidding
http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=147580 is expensive... almost 35$...
At least you get 5 of them. But still...

hey wait before you order! just so you guys know, they elf and vogue's screen sizes are supposedly slightly different.
i ordered the "HTC Touch" screen protectors from boxwave about 2 months ago, thinking, hey, mine is a touch, and its by HTC. well, they didnt fit. boxwave was great about it, and are letting my exchange, but just MAKE SURE you get the Sprint Touch screen protectors.
like i said, they would probably be good about it, but it would just save ya some hassle.
cheers.
Thanks for the heads up Jim!

really kills the clarity of the screen though doesnt it? very similar to if it were...maybe a little bit wet? everything is unclear/smudged...i dont really know how to explain it (obviously) lol
i went with MartinFields... i couldn't be happier.
I've used Boxwave screens before and they are excellent quality. I had one on my Treo650 forever and it held up wonderfully. I just put the one on for the Sprint Touch and the only negative thing I can say is that it's reduced the sensativity a bit. I'm going to try this reg edit for sensitivity found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360564
What about the invisibleshield, looks like they have screen and full-body. Anybody use these before? Are they worth the price?
Im going for invisible sheild cant give a reveiw yet but when the time comes that I get it I will let you all know. (dont wait for me however s I don't really work... therefire getting paid and being able to afford any purchase are both rarities...
Best screen protector ever !!

This is the best screen protector I found so far !!
Expensive but the worth it
You gotta go with clear protector.
Full body for 15$ on ebay.
The best there is and you only need one.
I try clear protector from eBay, it is the worse ever, I won't wast my money on that again.

I recently ordered a Matte TPU case from a seller on ebay in Hong Kong. I like giving my phone some color on occasion but nothing overbearing or ugly. I dont like the clearish TPU cases with patterns because unless you get it in black or white (clear), the color looks awful to me against the black phone. So i decided to give the matte ones a go and i love it. The only down side is that i wish the buttons werent covered at all, it makes them a bit more sensitive but at least they arent hard to press and i suppose i could just cut it out. For now it doesnt really bother me.
I doubt these cases will provide much shock protection from a bad drop but i think they look good and are extremely slim. I went from using the Amzer to this and my phone feels naked now lol. Ill switch back and forth for when i feel like i need better protection. It feels great in my hand and slides easily in and out of my pocket. The plus about this case is that it doesnt have that hideous random red tramp stamp strip on the back like majority of the matte TPU cases. Im extremely anal about how my phone looks so that was a h*ll no. Also, youll see in the pic below that the front edges are a bit shiny, they arent matte like the back and i guess it adds something to the design. The material covering the buttons is the same thats around the edges. So if you wanted to attempt at cutting and freeing them from confinement, you already have an outline.
The seller i purchased from is out for the Chinese New Year but i think it says they will resume sales on the 11th or 12th. I purchased on the 23rd of January and got it on the 7th so thats pretty average wait time coming from HK.
I also tried out the "S" case that has a thread here in the forum, and way too snug for my liking and i didnt like the gloss next to the matte, so if anyone wants it i can mail it to you or its going in the trash. (i got it in black.)
Here are two pics, sorry i dont have one of it on the actual device but the best camera i own is....my Nexus lol. The itouch fails miserably at a decent photo. And yes remember it is flexible...

Pic 2
Hope thats somewhat helpful!

Then dont buy one. It was a couple bucks maybe? Its not like there are tons of cases out there that are worth the money so a little on the cheap side doesnt bother me. I wanted plain, slim, and color and thats what this is. I think its hard to avoid a "cheap" look when you spend 4 bucks on a TPU case. But anyway, thats what the review is for...to help you decide if you want one or not.

Haha I've been told a few times that I should but I don't think I have time to learn with school going on. I see like....3 girls on this forum so its kind of intimidating lol. The most I've even done for myself is make docks. I'm working on an icon set though that's been taking forever. Add me to gtalk...same name.
i actually got this case in white. It's actually a very good case for $1 and change. It is very slim. I love it. The buttons are easier to push then the ones on the amzer case.
Definitely worth the $1!!!

too bad not so many manufacturer produce case for HD2
on ebay there some seller that sell the HD2 case, but you don't have many option. just standard gel case or something like that
I bought two of these in Ebay and I didn't regret it, I recommend it!
I would check your local Verizon store especially in MA, because I just walked into my local one and they had the speck candshell red and black case for $4! They also had a whole bunch of stuff for the Fascinate, Continuum, LG Ally, Droid 2, and Droid X.
Yeah, the same deal was available online with free 2 day shipping.
Yeah, just saw that thread. :/
Just ordered one online with free 2 day shipping! Thanks!!
The case is cool and all...but holyhell does it scratch like a mofo...the back looks awful now haha oh well maybe i get another! Just for the hell of it lol

The case is really nice, but beware, after 1 day at work on the desk the glossy back was completely destroyed. Looked like i dragged it down the beach...
Haha damn, is there any way to prevent it from scratching like everyone says it does?
buy as many as you can and keep replacing them? lol it's gonna scratch no matter what...damn thing lol
Yeah, that case would scratch on velvet. And also, the buttons are a ***** to press.

Spray some acrylic or something on the back to give it an extra coat of protection.
anyone else switch back to their old cases or anything? haha i had this speck for about 2 weeks, and idk, i'm sick of it. the scratches just look TERRIBLE on the back, and for me it was impossible to get the phone outta the case each time (the phone would come out, but the damn battery cover would stay in htere and take forever to get out!)
idk, and the red outlining looked so damn awful and ugly...i'm happy to be back to my black gel silicone case...now i hope those go on sale, bc mines a year old, and i could use a new one!
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....

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.
