sorry looked through the whole thread but couldnt find it
i´ve installed the fullbody kit today, and this was very easy.
there is no air bubble or something like this.
the handling of the hd2 is amazing now, because of the better grip.
so a clearly recommendation!
i've had the full body kit on for about 9 weeks, and am very happy with it. feels great to the touch, helps with the sensitivity issue, but doesn't make it un sensitive, looks great on the hd2 (take your time fitting, and use plenty of moisture, ) fits like a lovely glove.
screen protector
I've always used sp's. Tried all different kinds. Put phantomskinz on hd, loved it. Then put it on hd2, seemed ok? Decided to try htc sp300. it was ok, until I installed swype. Noticed I had few more errors? My bud, Agoat,said take it off & try , I did, wow! Now I don't even have to hardly get close to letters to type.Still learning, but nice now. Must have transferred pressure or static? I use Imagnum case, so screen is protected in pocket. I think I'm set? lol Quig

you are joking, do you?
I've had the invisible sheild on for about 6 weeks now and it does seem to offer protection. I do have trouble reading the screen in strong sunlight though..

only if you yank off. moisture and patience it comes off.
hm? means that if im trying to put the sp (IS) off my metal cover gets damaged? in which way..?
do you have pics of it - how it looks on the back and on the front side with IS?
Phantomskins, not Invisibleshield
Sorry, posted earlier about using invisibleskin, it wasn't, it was phantomskinz, they are great.

I wouldn't put Invisible Sheild on anything it turns brown after a few weeks and makes your device look horrible. Look what it did to my poor Touch Pro. I reccomend a Vikuiti protector and a gel case for a happy HD2.
I bought one. Used it for a day. Removed. Once it hit my pocket, the edge of the shield all had fur or my pockets around it. Quite hard to clean it off. Next, I dun quite like the feeling when i grab the phone with the shield on. Lastly, it it not 100% covered. Makes it look like a half pass job to me. Wont recommend this to my friend.
bought it
Just bought a ZAGG InvisibleSHIELD Full Body protection for my HD2, will put it on and post a responce by today.
I have full body kit for the HD2 that I will not be using due to what I have seen and heard about this screen protector.
Any offers for it? Its unused.
Beware of FULL body
Not sure about just screen, but I had IS for HTC HD, not HD2. But generally speaking - it is about the same when it comes to IS, right ? Now ... I had full-body IS installed by professional in IS kiosk. Yes, they have IS kiosks in malls where they sell IS and also install them. I also tried installing it myself. And I DID take my time installing it and it looked great.
It looked great 1st 3-4 months, but then it started to peel off on corners. Now it looks terrible and I will remove it. I actually tried it 3 times !!! Really !!! Same story. And when you use pouch and frequently take out/insert your phone into it - this IS peels off even faster. Problem is that if some piece starts peeling off ... and you take out and insert your phone in case often ... that peeling becomes worse. Last time I used spare phone to let IS "sit" for a week !!!
Bottomline ... for HD2 I'm NOT planning to buy FULL body. Just IS screen protector - may be. Or some other SP. But not full body. And gel/hard plastic/metal cover. And pouch with clip
May be I'm just unlucky. But 3 times ??? I had HD from Nov 2008 and IS gave me nothing but trouble.
I installed IS for my HD2 since 10 January 2010. I bought the full body from IS website and try to install it myself. For the first time there were a lot of bubbles that couldn't be removed. I thought the bubbles would be fewer if I left it for 1 day, but I was wrong. The bubbles stayed there without any improvement. I peeled it and made the invisible shield very very wet, then paste it on my HD2. I was shocked because the result is very great. No bubbles at all. I just put the screen protector and battery cover protector because I don't like the glossy look on my matte back rubber finish.
I have to admit I was wanting the htc one so bad until I held this phone in my hand! ( and verizon not selling a black htc one) I never thought I would go for an LG phone but I so love this phone. My question is can someone tell me what screen protector to buy for the G2. I have done some searching and have noticed they are different from manufactures. Some of the protectors dont have the holes cut out for the sensors that are between the front facing camera and the ear speaker? Would that make a difference in anyway? Would it interfere with the sensors ( or whatever they are) if the screen protector covered those? I see the Skinomi has the holes cut out http://www.skinomi.com/sk13930-lg-optimus-g2-screen-protector.html but the SPIGEN does not? http://www.ebay.com/itm/SPIGEN-SGP-Ultra-Crystal-Screen-Protector-2-Film-for-LG-G2-/390651802330?pt=US_Cell_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item5af4a972da And then there is the Invisible Defender http://www.ebay.com/itm/300955920560?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 in which I dont have any idea if its any good or if the holes are cut out or not? I have had a Skinomi before and didnt really like it because its a wet application and didnt care for the feel of it. Can someone please tell me which one they recommend and that has the three holes cut out? Thanks guys

I just got the 3 pack they sell at verizon for $12.99. They installed one and its perfect. I have bought many styles through the years and theirs work great, they are cheap and you can go back anytime with the extras and they will install another one free

I thought about doing that but didnt figure they were any good. Isnt there screen protector cut out from the front facing camera all the way to the right side of the speaker? I would rather have something like what Skinimi has done with the holes cut out. Also do you or anyone have any idea if we can put a screen protector over the two sensors next to the front facing camera and ear speaker? Take a look at the second pic on this page. http://www.androidcentral.com/hands-verizon-lg-g2Those to sensors between the front facing camera and ear speaker is what I am reffering to. Anyone know of anything?

Just ordered 2 - free shipping for orders over $25.
I just ordered The Super Shieldz matte anti finger print anti glare screen protector. I will keep you posted. It was only $6 so if it doesn't work it's no big deal

Forgot to post that I had emailed them to see when they would have theres available and they replied and gave me a 30% discount code. Here it is cservice30. Hope it works for everyone else?
Are the screens on AT&T and VZW versions the same? So they could use the same screen protectors?
IMO the Spigen Steinheil and Rearth protectors have been the best I have tried, only Spigen has any out now so will go with those.

Ive never tried Rearth. Had an Ultra Crystal on my Fascinate and it was nice. I just wish some of their more advanced versions were out, especially the tempered glass (Ive never used one of those before)

Thanks for the code, worked here.
G2 Brothers,
I recently bought a brand new G2, I have no accessories for G2 and I have not tried any yet. I like the G2 Flip Cover a little from watching it on YouTube, but I havent tried it. So maybe someone can help me decide from a few questions:
1) Does the Flip Cover add a lot of weight on the phone and is the phone still comfortable to use with that cover?
2) Would it be more appropriate to just buy a regular screen protector instead? Adds no weight, but does it mess up the screen quality a lot?
3) Any other cover or specific screen protector (there are many models) I should consider for my new G2?
Hope I can get some useful input from those who are experienced G2 users
Thanks in advance.
Regards
PS: I see a few old Optimus 2X users who have moved here too, special hi to you

btw i don't use a screen protector (at least not yet)
but i can reccomend a Nekeda case (slim, gives better grip, doesn't ruin the sleek G2 design and it costs around 10$ on ebay)

Look Ma! Its @60nine
Appreciate your reply. I'm thinking a flip cover is "better" since it covers both the back and the screen?
Will keep looking, that Nekeda case looks really cool, but how about the flip cover?
Edit: I will drop the flip cover. Too many people say it scratches your display because of the metal. I will buy a screen protector and maybe also a Nekeda case.
Again, any specific screen protector I should go for?

There will be people who tell you to get a glass screen protector and other who won't. I have been told not to get one but that is just from my source. I have a screen protector from xtremeguard. They usually have pretty decent coupons. This screen protector covers everything except a little section by the camera, sensor and ear phone at the top of the phone. I am not sure how the Nekeda case fits. but I have the Spigen Slim Armour and the tech21 impact case, and both of them tend to push the screen protector up and cause some bubbles at the edge, which can be annoying but I just end up trying to push it back down. Hope that helps with your choice. There is a thread on glass screen protectors if you are interested in those.
Hey i'm using original window case with screen protector ..and until the moment 3 months no any scratches only camera glass has one light scratch but it comes from my zip pocket. If you are sick like me and dont wont any scratches i recomend this configuration.

Hello there i bought these screen protectors for my gear 2 neo only to find out that their size is too small and because of that they wont stick properly on the screen because the class is slightly curved on the top and on the bottom of the watch.
these screen protectors are just slightly bigger than the screen of the watch and not big enough to cover the hole glass area.
i uploaded 2 pictures to show you the problem im having with these sceen protectors.
you can find them
here
and
here
so i definately do not recomend these screen protectors and i would like to ask if anyone knows any good screen protector on ebay that will be able to stick properly, cover the full area of the glass, cost arround or under 10 dollars and the package wont have just 1 screen protector in it just in case i screw the first one.
I am so glad i didn't buy them i was considering them for the pack of 6
I bought this one instead and it fits perfectly

thanks for the info mate. the one you bought has just 1 screen protector in the package right?
yes, just 1 screen but you wont go wrong when applying it.
it will be spot on at first go, just watch the video from the ebay in how to apply it before you go at it. I have mine fitted for over a week now and no problems at all.

oh its one of those with the wet solutions. i didnt noticed it.
just one last question, i heard that either the skinomi or spigen screen protector for the gear 2 neo has a rubbery feel when you touch it and not a glossy slippery feeling, does the screenknight you bought has a rubbery feeling too?

I had never notice that but yes it does feel different cant say it feels rubbery but it does feel different from the screen protector I have on the phone which feels like rubbing your finger on glass.
the screen protector doesn't affect the touch at all

This is the new galaxy note 8 cover from Spigen, does anyone got this? This is still unavailable in Europe.
Someone who own this could tell if you have any touch issue? Thanks in advance
its on amazon for only 17.99. see if you can order it through there instead.
I had the spigen glass protector with a different case, the 20 minutes the protector lasted on the phone I needed to do everything 3 times to get a response. Protector came off in my pocket, cut the lining of my suit and scratched me. Spigen didn't even respond to me via amazon when told. I have bought spigen for years, never again.

I just got mine in today. I have a black Note 8, but got the deep sea blue case to add a bit of color to my life. The color is awesome, the fit of the case is great, but the screen protector is just okay. It took a minute to get it aligned properly, but it definitely feels like the touch sensitivity is worse and catches finger prints and smudges pretty easily. I typically don't use screen protectors, so it's a big difference for me. If they had an option for the case without the screen protector for a cheaper price, I would've gone with the case only, but since the screen protector came with it, I figured I'd give it a shot. If things don't work out, I'll just peel off the screen protector. The case is awesome though, I'm coming from a Speck presidio grip case, and am very happy with the Spigen 360.
Thanks for the info. i guess i'll take it asap. It just need to pop on amazon EU
Got my case today. I like the feel of it. Super low profile. Only thing I don't like are the connection joints. Some of them are flared out slight. Must be the material.
For the screen protector. I used the diy loca glue technique. I had extra laying around from my whitestone. Looks very nice. Have two bubbles but they are not in my "normal" touching zones and should have no negative effect. I'll post pics shortly
