Boxwave screen protectors (and other products) now listed for Verizon TP2

Protonus · #1 (**permalink**) 09-24-2009, 01:10 PM

As of today, the Verizon HTC TP2 page on Boxwave's site now lists screen protectors, and cases:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/easy...ories_3688.htm
However, the picture they show is of the Euro/GSM TP2 and it shows the same front facing camera cutout. I don't know if this is an oversight, or if they're not planning to make one specific to verizon and they're listing the same one as a result. It does say it's specific for the Verizon version though.

Oddly enough, the Sprint page does NOT list these accessories yet, and I would think it would be the same protector and cases for both versions. I'll update this when I hear back from them.

I have been waiting for one of their Anti Glare protectors since the phone came out and I got one.. they are the best protectors around for any device IMHO. I've had them on everything I own they make one for.

Can anyone confirm the the template used to make the screen protector on both the Verizon & Sprint models will be exactly the same?

Thanks for this post. I realy like thier hard case options. Im just waiting for the Sprint Version. I thought that the VZW/ Sprint where the same but Im starting to think I might be wrong. Not sure though does any one know for sure?

I agree, those & the Brando (which are almost identical) are the best period.

should be the same.. I have the euro verison with the hole in the top right and it works perfectly.. well except for the hole up there. I didnt care though as i dont mess with that part of the screen anyways and i alway carry it in a case. Cant even tell it is on the phone. most ppl dont even know its there except for the O cut out.. lol

I just wasnt going to put the crapy one that came with the phone on there or use it without.. So I ordered the Euro versiona week before the sprint tp2 was released.

Ok, I got a hold of boxwave finally on the phone (425) 828-6641 for anyone else wondering and the very nice lady said that as of right now it appears the Verizon version IS the euro/gsm version and she's unsure of when they'll be making verizon specific one. She did take my name number and email though and said she'd get back to me. I'm going to wait till Monday and if they still haven't made one, i'll buy this euro one. One unprotected area that isn't even over the screen area is no big deal I guess.

Sooooo I'm just going to go ahead and order these anyways. The area that's unprotected isn't over the display, and there is a good chance that Seidio's case for this phone, if CDMA specific, will cover this portion anyways like it does on other phones.

I can understand them selling the GSM screen protectors for the VTP2. The only difference is the camera hole.

However, I am not sure why they are selling the GSM cases for the VTP2. The back will not fit as the microphones have been slightly moved and an extra jack was added to the bottom. They're going to have some angry customers if they send out the GSM cases.
