LOL, yeah, it alway pays to dig through the stuff. Maybe even read the manual. In my case, I read the pdf manuals floating around before the phone was released.

As far as my screen protector, I gave up on installing it. Even after a bad fall onto tile, I got lucky and no scratches on the screen. However, on one of my Moguls, I used the tip of a key as a stylus, and there must have been an invisible burr on the key, and it left about an inch long gouge. It bugged me a little, but at 50 years old, I've had new cars for decades, and scratches on them don't bother me any more (some are likely in the junk yard by now), and once I just decided to forget about it, knowing I'd need a replacement or upgrade somewhere down the line, I just forgot about it, and never really noticed it much again. It certainly didn't affect its operation or usefullness as a tool, any more than a scratch on a car doesn't affect the sole purpose I have a car - to get from point A to point B.

never open the bag that the manual is in. lol i know cuz i did it with my diamond. i just grabbed the phone and battery/charger and started using it.

although i knew i would pick up an invisible shield for it in a couple days.

I cannot recall this happening on TP. Okay, I'm done venting. lol

Has this happened to others????

Did you ever use the stylus? I know when I start using a stylus, little miniature scratches start showing up. I have yet to use one on this phone and it's perfect so far.

Reporting this thread. Insurance fraud isn't a cool thing to do and certainly shouldn't be discussed here.

Thread cleaned! Now lets try to refrain from the discussion about insurance fraud and lying to get replacement, shall we?

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation

I can't imagine putting this device in my pocket especially without a case and screen protector, but maybe some people's pockets are bigger then mine. And full of gold. Of course i'd say that about any device really as I don't much like lint/dust under my screen / in my jacks.
Personally I'm holding out for a seidio innocase and a boxwave antiglare sceren protector. If you don't know why for either you should probably just go ahead and buy both when they're out lol.

For now, I'm rocking a $10 horizontal belt pouch from Walmart by foneGEAR that fits the tp2 pretty perfectly.
