Re: Do you use a clear screen protector???

I'm not risky any permanent damage to my "baby", so I religiously read the numerous postings of opinions on screen protectors and end up trying many of them out. Today I pulled off the Sprint supplied OEM verion and put on one I grabbed off of Ebay and tonight replaced it with the bestskinsever version I picked up recently. I'm currenlty awaiting some antiglare verions, so who knows what tomorrow might bring in my never ending desire for the "perfect" screen protector...all in know is that my "baby" will always have some type of screen protection.

if the apple fanboy digs it, then i think i have a pretty good thing going.
lol...I agree. I believe the iphone's screen/external layer is glass.

You "need" your screen scratch free or want it scratch free :P

Just messing.. I can't stand any scratches on my screen, so yes, I use a screen protector. I'm using the one that came with the phone.

Re: Do you use a clear screen protector???

I would definatly use one! resistive screens scratch very easy, even if you dont actually scratch it, you will get the small, fine hairline scratchs in it.
I highly recommend these-->
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/spm1htp2s-2.htm
Mine just came in today and I honestly cant even tell its there. Perfectly clear and smooth. I cant stand zagg, ghostarmor or bestskins ever, while they protect the best, they have a rubbery sticky feel and are not clear.
The Seidio one went on perfect, best job I ever did at putting one on!
No water needed, and it looks and feels great!

Re: Do you use a clear screen protector???

I use an invisible shield full body shield. It costs like $25.00, and then another $10.00 for them to put it on for you (their website will list the closest location- Best Buy sells and applies them too).



It has a lifetime guarantee (covers the shileld itself, the installation if it ever comes off or bubbles, and against the device ever getting scratched under it) if they put it on for you.

So now I don't even use a case anymore. Just drop the Touch Pro 2 into my pocket, and it's guaranteed not to scratch.

Plus, like I said on another forum, it's like going from an old school laptop to a new one with a glossy screen. It just looks a lot nicer.

Re: Do you use a clear screen protector???

The question is why the hell not? The included screen protectors are insanely tough and are invisible is put on correctly. I used a thread on the best way to install them as they leave no room for error.

I had one on my tp1 which was great until they replaced my screen almost 1 year later and didn't include one. Got a few nasty scratches within 3 days from the case itself.

Re: Do you use a clear screen protector???

esqueue,

Verizon doesn't include screen protectors and some have posted that their experience has been that screen protectors affected performance. Others have posted that they've gone quite a while without one and haven't suffered any scratches.

Now I don't think putting the phone in a pants pocket with keys or change in it would be smart but if it affects performance and with just a little care you don't scratch the screen, why bother.

With that said, I'll probably put mine on when I get back from breakfast.

Re: Do you use a clear screen protector???

I never used one on the previous 3 versions of this phone, especially on the touch pro since i got a new one every week or so, HOWEVER those tiny little scratches that you keep running into with the stylus or your finger seems to make them bigger and more annoying after awhile! Therefore didn't even touch the new tp2 out of box until i put it on!
As far as responsiveness you can change your settings to make it more sensitive if you "think" it seems less responsive. My screen protecter came with it no fancy one and I have not noticed any problem with responsiveness.

Re: Do you use a clear screen protector???

I have used PPCTechs crystal clear shields for all of my touchscreen phones. I have never had any problem with responsiveness.
