TP2 is on it's way. Since this phone has been out for an extended time I was hoping for feedback on which skin works best and who to buy from?

Also looking for screen protection. Feel free to suggest other useful accessories for business user (I have car charger and BT Headset).

ive been through a few diff types of screen protectors and imho the STOCK tp2 screen protector was the best. i wish i wasnt in such a rush to buy one and throw away the stock. even if you decide to go a diff route keep your stock just in case....i know its sound pretty basic but when u get a new phone u kinda get sucked into all the new phone hype and just assume the stuff that come with the phone is just garbage.

Yeah the screen protector that comes with your phone is generally better than some you can find on the net, and for cases...I would recommend the body glove case...it's robust and has either flat surface or a belt clip adapter you can install on the back side of the case. It comes in 2 pieces (front, back) and is a snug fit....IMO it's way better than these mall bought cheap looking cases they sell. Just google Body Glove and search for the Touch Pro 2 for your carrier and it will show you what it looks like. Charging cradles are a crapshoot....some people I've seen in the forum can't get them to work right, either don't fit right or they just don't plane work even though the vendor says they do.

Look around the forums you will find what your looking for.

Thanks for the replies.

Body Glove case looks a little bulky if this is the one you are referring to. How much thickness does it add?

What do you think about the silicone, or similar rubber skins for the TP2?

Zagg seems good as well but will it keep corners protected during small falls or bumps?

Basically I'm looking to minimize the damage for small drops and scuffs. Quite a few options on eBay.

Will make sure I keep my stock screen protector and get it on the screen right away.

the best screen protector by far is Invishield which you can order from zagg.com u can protect your whole phone, frony backs and sides for less than $30. military grade stuff and garntuied.

Is the Telus TP2 identical to the Verizon model (both CDMA)? Telus is shipping me:
T7379 HTC TOUCH PRO2 WORLD EDITION SMARTPHONE

Which Zagg invisibleShield will fit this phone properly?

Yes, the protection is good for a skin but the screen has a definite "mushy" feel to it. I ripped my Zagg screen protector off and replaced it due to this.

What screen protector are you currently using?

Screen or skin?

Currently, I have the following applied and like it: LINK

I do have the "full" Zagg(minus the screen protector).

I tend to try out alot of different accessories, and in particular screen protectors just to help determine what is actually good and what is not so good. You will see so many opinions given in the forum threads and I just like to get some "hands on" experience to determine for myself.
