My guess is they don't have the assembly line nor man power functionality to complete such a daunting task. I say daunting because if I got bits and pieces of dust specs down there I know I would heighten the risk of ruining the screen protector.

Same applies here. Have you USED the included screen protector or the Boxwaves? Try them before you continue to state that they make the screen less responsive.

I would not use it, too much of a hassle.

No, I have not used the included (don't have a TP yet) or a Boxwaves protector. In my experience I have never see a protector that felt the same and more importantly, you could not see it on the phone. Granted I have not looked either. In my experience a completely invisible screen protector that feels good is in the same category as your spray on condom, vaporware.

Again I could be wrong about this screen protector existing, if it does I apologize.

it's a real pain to put on. I just put mine on and got a little lint under it. Its is good quality though. From experience though it scratches pretty easy with the stylus. mine went on with 99% of the bubbles out. I just have a little one right on the edge but that's to be expected. I used my nail to pry it off to re align it and now it won't stick.

I've never been a fan of screen protectors either, but the included one actually seems to make the screen better - your finger slides across it with more ease (the cover on the TP screen seems to make your finger want to stick). Try it - I think you'll like it...

i noticed with the diamond screen that even your fingernails can scratch the screen, i highly suggest some sort of screen protector. i had to clean mine 20 times and reapply until i got it right cuz of my dust infested house.

Cost of shipping a screen protector > Cost of buying a screen protector

Did I do this wrong. I stuck on the hard plastic. No bubbles and I think it looks great. It probably provides even more protection to the screen. I have had many phones and I understand what they look like. The other side just seemed to flimsy. I actually like the hard plastic on it. It is the one that had the glue on it.

do you guys ever feel a little bit crazy going into so much detail on something as simple as a thin strip of plastic? i spent half an hour putting on my first one, making sure there was no dust or particles or bubbles underneath.

and we have several threads discussing this same thing all over the forums. we.. are.. crazy.

These phones are made in a dust free environment, and they could assembly line the application process no problem. Heck, it would probably make more sense for them just to use a harder front material anyway.

Exactly the point. Use it before you come down so hard on how bad they are. Both this one and the Boxwave are no worse if not an improvement on the naked screen. Try before you bash.
