Just for info, there's two in the box. it covers ONLY the screen that has the LCD. DOesn't cover whole face.
Never had issues sticking on these static type protectors but this one gave me hell. ruined both. the protector is slightly tacky. And will attact dust(like any like this) so make sure you're in a clean room. But both of my protectors wouldn't stick on the edges of the protector. and every time I tried to peel it up and putting it back down, it still didn't hold. Then dust got under it. augh. Ruined both. I wonder if they would take them back since both wouldn't stick on teh edges? Aww... they will probably say I'm returning it because I got dust under it.
i know how you feel! i bought them when i got my hd2 and i got the top two-thirds of the protector on perfect but then the bottom third somehow got dust underneath, it really not that bad when the screen is on but its still annoying. cant wait to get my invisibleshield on it tho!
order this, the maximum protection from zagg....

I used invisishield on my ipod. Great stuff, but hard to get on perfect. 3 parts for a curved back and front only covers the LCD part? The front part sounds so unlike them. They normally have it going round buttons and everything.
But it's like putting tint on. You need to have a liquid to make slide just right.
i used invisible shield on my iphone, and it was fully protected. It did add grip to the device which i liked. Anyways, the maximum protection shield covered more than the normal full-body shield. It'll cover not only the LCD screen but all spaces around the hardware buttons and well as the speaker.

I also got these same screen protectors and was dissapointed when it did not cover the entire screen.
Trick to putting on screen protectors.
1.) Make sure the screen is completely clean of all smudges etc.
2.) Use a can of air duster to remove any small dust particles that might be stuck on the phone. If you don't have that then just take a piece of tape and remove any dust particles or dirt from the screen. This is the most important part!
3.) Line up the screen protector on the screen where you want to place it.
4.) Peel back the backing of the screen protector as you lay the screen on the device. Start from the top of the device and work your way down. If need be take out a credit card or another hard piece of plastic of some sort to push out any air bubbles that may occur as you lay down the screen protector.'
5.) Enjoy a job well done.
It's interesting to note that all the previous posts are (I assume) from US members.
You get a screen protector with the phone and we here in the UK don't.
I have heard mention that when some EU units have been returned for screen problems they have been repaired with what has appeared to be a plastic version of the screen.
My phone is now coming on three months old, never had a protector, never used a case and the screen is immaculate.
Can anyone say if theirs "feels" like plastic?

My TMOUS HDC HD2 is definitely glass.
I didn't bother to use a screen protector (didn't even know there was one supplied)...it isn't necessary on a glass screen.
Its very hard to scratch glass...you would need a very sharp object, made out of a very hard material (harder than glass), applied with a lot of pressure. I've had my iPhone for 3 years, and the glass is flawless on it. The aluminum housing is scratched, dented, and dinged up, and the LCD panel has a little bit of bruising on the top left corner BEHIND the glass...but the glass itself is immaculate.
Apple actually pulled the screen protectors off the shelves from the Apple store because they felt they were unnecessary..and frankly anyone who pays for one on the HD2 or iPhone wasted their money.
You'll actually see more imperfections on the screen by applying a screen protector...they have a tendency to attract dust, bubble up, and flat out get dirty. The only maintenance you need to do on a glass screen is polish out smudges and finger prints.
The biggest peril to glass touch screens is cracks from falls....and if your HD2 suffers a big enough impact, a screen protector or 'invisible shield' won't do squat to keep it from cracking
glass or plastic..either way.. i was soooooooooooo confident i wouldnt scratch mine, until about a minute ago when i was in the process of wiping the glass(plastic) screen before putting on a screen protector, i noticed a little scratch...great. Should've put on a protector sooner...
From now on, I willl be putting on a screen protector unless the screen are made out of crystal sapphire or something..

We actually do not get an included screen protector. Only the black gel case, which imo is quite crappy... loose and flimsy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6117793#post6117793 Check out oy instillation of the Invisible shield if you are considering buying one. I bought the Maximum Protection and it covers almost everything besides for around the buttons on the bottom, volume rocker, camera, Micro USB/ 3.5 Headphone jack, and the finger nail grove on battery cover. I also would like to note that my TMOUS HD2 did not include any screen protectors in the box.
Sorry imo I have to disagree with you about the included gel being loose mine fits quite snugly and until my zagg comes in I prefer to keep it in the gel...not as slick & keeps the screen(when face down) off the flat surface.
A tipp for all you guys getting dust under the screen:
I always apply a new screen protector in my bathroom after showering - the steam in the air (the more steam, the better) binds most of the dust particles and makes it A LOT easier to get a perfect result!

I agree, I used to do this back in the day before Zagg came around. It works great.
I have read with other products people use a drop or water/soap water before applying a screen protector. Has anyone used this method on this device? i am concerned that the water will somehow ruin the device. I know it's only a drop or 2 but wanted to get some feedback first before i tried it.
Hey, I've been searching around xda, the interwebs and even some iphone forums(glass screen like ours?) for a solution to fix the few small hairline scratches on my hd2's screen. I've already tried tried toothpaste but to no avail. Anyhoo, I've come across this product called displex where they claim it works for the htc hd2 but on the same page claim it only works on plastic screens and to not use it on touchscreens. Sooo anyone have any experience with this product or know if it's safe? Or heck, know a for sure way to get rid of minor scratches? I can't post links since I'm still a noob but google "htc hd2 displex" and it will be one of the top results.
displex and other polishing pastes are not unrisky to use.
I used it on a hardened plastic screen (nokia 6233) and after a long polishing
time (around 10 min.) i've got the scratches out. but now you can see
that the surface is not exactly plain anymore.
I don't want zo use it on my hd2.
the surface coud be glass or an extremely hardened glas/plasitc combination.
You shoud be very careful in use of polishing materials with your hd2 .
dont use it at your hd2. I think it would look worse than before, because, as hellraiser said, its only made for plastic-screens, not for glass.
I read a few reviews on amazon which confirmed that.
Don't use it. I tried it on a magnifier glass for an old gameboy and it got totally unusable.
Ok, thanks for all the replies. Looks like I'll just have to ignore those little scratches then-better than screwing up the whole screen. In hindsight though, the scratches are far less noticeable than the series of dots on the screen so it probably won't be that tough to ignore. Would buying a screen protector make it harder to see the scratches perhaps?
Depends on your screen protector. I tried using invisible shield, which is slightly "gooey" or have a thicker sticky layer, and it filled/covered up the scratch perfectly ! Couldn't see it even in sunlight from several angles.
Only downside was that the invisible shield had a very gripy surface, and slight abrasion was building up on my poor finger. So eventually I changed to a matt screen protector. It has a thinner and dryer sticky layer. But the scratch is visible again. Well, guess it depends on what you need ..
Also, on screen polishing, I really don't think you should try it. HD2's touchscreen relies on a capacitive control to detect your finger. From wikipedia.org under touchscreens: "A capacitive touchscreen panel consists of an insulator such as glass, coated with a transparent conductor such as indium tin oxide (ITO)". If you try too hard, maybe the the conductor will be rubbed off in the process?
possibly yes. give the protector a try.
But you should use a screen protecor in every case
to prevent more scratches.
i bought one 2 weeks ago and it works perfect.
its nearly invisible an the touch-recognition works perfect.
it was from amazon, but i dont know the manufacturer, sorry
I would like to know if anyone has purchased this case?

I already own a silver hunterF case which is identical to this one except for the gorilla glass part which
Caught my attention as I feel it would eliminate the need for a screen protector. But here are my concerns from what I see the glass is held in place by some 3m tape and when I flash a rom I have to pull out the battery to restart the device etc. or for whatever reason so I guess I would have to pull off the glass but I’m guessing that would damage the adhesion of the tape...

True it probably will be less adhesive, if at all after removal, but im not really sure. This case is very intriguing just because of the glass front plate. I also just purchsed lots of 3m tape for a repair job of a broken screen on an s3, so the constant removal would be annoying but not a problem.
I really like these cases, I'v been thinking of getting one.
I came across this one in my searches
http://www.casefanatic.com/samsung-...etal-note/coque-galaxy-note-2-zomgo-keyi-box/
This one is magnetic instead of adhesive. If that interests you.
After looking at cases all day, I now thinking that if you dropped either of these cases, the front glass screen would be easily cracked since it is very exposed, structurally. Even impacts on the sides might crack the glass. They still look good though.

I'm trying to work out if it has a lay on the table design. So the screen doesn't get damaged when placed face down
Nillkin case
I bought it a few weeks ago from ebay. Screen doesn't touch the table when faced down, the edges are a slightly high. It also came with a screen protector.
you must have another case cos the one i linked to above i received today and it doesnt have a lip as such, maybe a tiny tiny one but not enough to stop the screen from touching the surface, apart from that its a good case,
Wow, lots of folks posted about the soft screen which resulted in a screen protector being applied, however now the talk is about screen peeling. I hear the fix is Moto charges 50 bucks and adds another screen or screen protector. Not sure whats going on so about you folks........any screen peeling problems/solutions. This could be a major FAIL again on this flag ship!
No issues here.

I don't have a problem with it and my screen has been abused already although if your having that issue then you may have done something to it on accident I don't believe it's the phone
yes the screen is VERY soft. small nick-nack scratches on mine. The glass protectors don't really fit, and because of the plastic cover motorola installed, its makes the touches very inaccurate when a tempered glass protector is installed.
next version, I hope they just go flat glass and leave the so called shatterproof technology alone
No issues at all. Screen protector fit perfectly from day one and it applied fast.
Removed Plastic coating
My screen was scratched pretty bad so I removed the plastic screen. I used a heat gun and digital thermometer and did the same steps as you would replacing the digitizer. You can heat the screen up to 180 to 200 degrees without damaging the board,screen, or and digitizer. It can go higher but don't push it this the only fragile part of the phone I found so far but it is. I used a razor blade after heating the screen up and at the corner carefully to start peeling the coating and once you get started a little at the corner start using the cards Don't pull on the plastic when the glue soften because you will be pulling the screen the rest of the plastic is still stuck to use playing cards to get between the lcd and the plastic coating which is basically a factory installed screen protector with a lot of sticky glue. Don't force the card push as far as you can with light pressure when it won't progress any further stop and heat the screen up again grab another playing card and continue to use cards to take that plastic coating off. And you want to leave the cards as you go. When done you are going to have to clean the residue off it will take a little time but when your done put on a high end protector like I used the Za??. My screen works perfectly to the touch and those scratches are not there except one and is was the san andreas fault of scratches before I took the coating off..
I removed mine also. Although I used a less technical method. I just pulled the top layer off and then spent some time scratching at the screen with my fingernail and using alcohol to help with the glue. Took a while for sure. I heard Goo Gone works great for me this.
I got my Z2 Force shortly after the launch date last year, and I have had zero issues with it. It's obvious that the shattershield screen is easily scratched, so I put a screen protector on it right away and it remains scratch free to this day. There's a lot of bad screen protectors out there these days that are warped and won't stay adhered to the screen, so it's important to look at those reviews to make sure you get a good one. I should also note that I constantly flip my phone around in my hand for some reason and I end up dropping it all the time, and I still have had no issues at all. There's not a sign of peeling anywhere.
