<rant>HD2 t-mobile brand screen protector.

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.

Just Like Glass Nano-t

Last year I got the JLG Nano is was pretty impressed with it. I had it for my Note 3. This year I have the M8 and JLG released a tempered glass version and I am just as happy with it as I was with the Nano. The Nano-t is made of glass material, feels great and is practically indestructible.
What I like about the M8 is that the screen is flat edged, rectangle. No camera or speaker holes to line up with. So the installation was really easy for this. JLG includes a alcohol prep pad which has proven to me to be the best way to clean a screen for screen protector installations.
Another cool thing I learned about this Nano-t is that normally screen protectors come with two tabs/films on both sides to remove. But this Nano-t only comes with one film to peel off from the sticky side to put on the screen itself. The other side, which is what you will touch does not need to have a film to protect it because it is scratch proof and anti smudge.
A deal breaker to me for screen protector is if it works with cases. I put a SEIDIO Surface case on it, which is a slide/glide hard case and the Nano-t worked just fine. No issues at all. So I was relieved to learn that fact.
For kicks and giggles I even put it through a key and knife scratch test along with a sharpie test. All passed with flying colors.
There really isn't anything negative other than that at times the screen is too smooth and my finger tip will slide on the screen. Other than that its a really nice tempered glass screen protector.
TIP: They are having everything 20% through July 4th weekend.

Otao Tempered Glass Screen Protector - Note 8

Received my OTAO Tempered Glass for my Note 8 Today. The Product arrived quickly and was packaged well.
The Package Included : (1) Installation Tray, (1) Glass Protector, (1) Cleaning Cloth, (1) Alcohol Wipe, (1) Sticker for dust/lint removal,
(1) Instruction Card W/Photos, (1) Thank You Card with Contact info for OTAO.
You can purchase them from here : https://www.amazon.com/Tempered-Pro...=1517931940&sr=8-3&keywords=otao+glass+note+8
The un-boxing was fun, was able to lay out everything and see what all came with the product, packaging felt premium and was well tailored to a Note 8 customer. The process to get the tray over device and screen protector on was slightly awkward and honestly if you have a steady hand you could install it without the tray IMO. I used the tray and the protector was installed perfectly center and square so at least there was 0 risk in getting it crooked or anything.
I was really worried about going to full glass protector on a infinity type screen. The curved glass has been hell to cover with anything but liquid glass (that provided 0 real protection) and not interfere with touch / operation.
The screen protector has glue 360* around the glass so there is not any movement or feeling of it being loose or poorly seated. I read other reviews where the glass had become loose or cracked and I can attest that this should NOT be the case. The only way its breaking is a drop or accident that resulted in a good bit of force onto the screen/glass. This protector IS case friendly as well, I tried it with my OtterBox as well as my UAG and neither case lifted or pushed the screen protector in any way!
Overall im really glad I tried the OTAO branded protector, as all the others do NOT have a 360* seal or the ability to work with many cases on the market, and OTAO has both and a really good price!
Check out the photos i took so you can see what to expect! The case in the photos is the UAG Clear Smoked Case btw!
Pros:
Actual Tempered Glass @ a Fair Price ( Under 15$ Shipped )
Has adhesive around the entire glass ( 360 sealed )
Touch response was unaffected / no gaps or air
Cons:
Tray is a little awkward to use, I would say try to do it without if you feel comfortable.
Adhesive around edges seems to be grabbing some lint / hair over time, kinda annoying
Screen has "Dot Matrix" and is slightly visible and certain angles.

I had one like this, another brand, it broke easy. So my question is, did you break it yet?

Mine popped off in 3 days

I did not break it, i had it on my device for 30 days, it was really a decent glass protector, but like me2151 said i did notice the adhesive wasnt nearly as strong as i would have liked.
Otherwise it was a nice all glass protector.
I did not like i could see the dot matrix, and the installer tray was garbage.
Otherwise at the cheaper price compared to the white dome, and seeing people complain about it at 60$ + , its worth the investment for a cheaper one that may last 1/4 of the time but be easily replaced and nearly 1/6 the cost.

I'm on my second one. Not because it broke, but because it popped off when I dropped my note and I got dust beneath. Finally changed it yesterday after weeks with the dust. I know I prolly have micro scratches. I really like this one. But, oh well...

Interesting thoughts.
I am getting a new Note 8 tomorrow and this is in my shopping cart. I have been wondering about this as I have heard traditional screen protectors don't work well on the rounded glass.

amFilm Dot Matrix 3D Curved Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Tempered Glass Screen Protector

So I picked up the amFilm glass screen protector the other day from Amazon. Out of all the glass protectors I could find on Amazon, this had the least amount of bad reviews. Also its sold by TechMatte which I had heard of before.
Anyways, it went on pretty easily. No loss of sensitivity as far as I can tell with using my Finger or the Spen after 24 hrs of use. 2 specs of dirt did manage to get under the glass, but I've almost gotten to the point I can ignore them, and I'm pretty sure if I try to remove it to get rid of them it will make it worse.
The dot matrix on the screen can be seen in some lighting conditions, but you need to look pretty close and not really a distraction.
It seems to fit fine with my Spigen Tough Armor case. My only beef so far is the edges are starting to collect lint/dust etcs. In about a month the surrounding edges of this protector may look really bad. But only time will tell.
https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Coverage-Installation-amFilm-Tempered/dp/B074G1W2RC

I bought the same protector and installed it and only left it on the table untouched for a few days and it lifted off the screen so TechMatte sent me a new one but haven't installed it yet. I'm trying to use it with a Ringke Fusion case.

So its been a little over a week since I put on the screen protector. My only big issue so far is when I hit the down arrow, it makes a noise like its lifting up the protector. Though looks at the protector it still seems glued down so not exactly sure what is going on. Maybe how its rubbing against the protector. TechMatte is sending me another free of charge to put on to see if that helps. As for the crud around the edges, I've just got used to it now. It isn't to bad.

I have used the am film screen protector on my S8 plus and Note 8. It works better than any other I have found. There are some cases that don't work well with it - it all depends on where the case fits on the phone in relation to the glass - if it touches the glass, it is going to lift up the corner or sides at some point. Ringke Fusion and a few others that I have tried work every well. Many of the screen protectors like am film added additional glue to the edges of the screen protector and the good ones included a guide that you use when installing the glass - if the screen protector is perfectly centered on the phone's screen, it works exceptionally well.

The glass clicking was what made me noticed the TGSP lifted as I can lightly touch and the entire glass would come off. I also have the Ringke Fusion. It was TechMatte who told me about the glue only being on the edges when I wrote them about it. I never even noticed there were less than full adhesive TGSP as I have used AmFilm on both the LG G4 and the iPhone 6S Plus without issues.

Well, I thought I was going to love this screen protector. Unfortunately I ended up returning it. The edges keep lifting up, getting a ton of dust underneath the protector and I'm starting to loose sensitivity.

I actually used the original one that lifted with a Ringke Fusion case yesterday and while it worked fine without the case, it seems like the case is sticking in between the screen and the AmFilm which is what is causing the lift. I guess they could use better adhesive.

use nano Liquid Protector

hello
all know that its hard to fined good TG or screen protector for redmi note 4-4x that's fit good with no gap or air in edge
so i need to know that if any use nano Liquid Protector for there device and any tips and info about that i will be rly grateful

No. Forget the idea. Liquid nano screen protectors are bull**** and huge scams. Believe me. Tempered glass is still your best choice and gives you the most protection even though there is a little gap at the side of the screen. Liquid protectors are fake. How is a little gel supposed to protect your phone by rubbing it on your screen creating a thin, oily layer? It can't. I did make a test though. Some pretty girls made a huge presentation and tried to sell me liquid protector. They even showed off by hitting the screen of an iPhone with a metallic object pretty hard that at least should have nicked the screen if not broken it into pieces. It was suspicious and I made a complete and throughout search. They use an iphone that comes with gorilla glass that almost unbreakable. No wonder why it didn't break. I bought a new Note 4X SD with 64 gb so I asked them to put the protector on my old phone, the 16 GB MTK and hit it with the metallic object just like they did to the iPhone. The silly girls did it and my phone screen broke completely. That's it. Never trust wonder protectors.

Actually liquid protectors will not make your screen shatter proof but will only add a layer of protection that will fade overtime around 2-3mos

Tried it on a couple of phones and more than once. The coating lasts about 3 days max.

I had one put on to my Galaxy Note 3 when they first arrived in the Philippines. One application (drop from a bottle) cost me $9 (a comparable tempered glass protector cost as little as $2). The bottle itself costs $16.
I noted where previous micro-scratches were before I applied the protector (one just above the G on the "SAMSUNG" logo.)
SIX DAYS after paying through the nose for that liquid stuff, another scratch appeared on the phone, this time near the menu button.
After that, I returned to using tempered glass protectors and never looked back.
