Boxwave have the actual CDMA TP screen protector available. http://www.boxwave.com/products/clea...-cdma_3315.htm The GSM version did not fit for me

Have never used them on any of my phones and will not use it on my TP......reason being is I have insurance and the chances of me scratching are slim to none anyways....

i just like the protector (need to get some more when i get home on break) because of all the face/cheek grease that gets on the phone while hold the phone on the shoulder while playing games on the computer while talking to the parents/girlfriend.

i try to multitask, but while playing Project Torque i just have to ignore the girlfriend. and that gets me in trouble

at least i know my screen is protected!

so i got my touch pro from best buy and when i got home i realized there was no screen protector included in the box (seriously, i spent about 10 minutes turning everything inside out looking for it, i think the guy probably threw it away by accident when he was activating my phone or something). they refuse to give me one from another touch pro. is there anything i could do short of ordering the boxwave protector? i'm trying to minimize usage right now of the touchscreen so as not to scratch it...even though it's so hard to resist cuz it's a new phone.

if they are being jerks about it, exchange the phone, or return it and get one somewhere else.

I had my mogul replaced 6 times this year bec of keyboard issues. No need for screen protector!

The edge of mine is lifted up a little tiny bit, and it won't go down fully. It annoys me, because I fear that it will eventually lift all the way off. Is this one washable? Where I can take it off, wash it off, and put it back on? I wish I could get another opportunity to put it on again.

The free screen protector that comes with the phone or the $13 Boxwave are a bit cheaper than the $50 deductible...

There's no way he could have thrown it away by accident. It's in the sealed package that your manual comes in. They have no reason to open that portion of it. So unless you saw him rip that open for no good reason and riffle through it, it should be in there, or was somehow left out at the factory. But it's sandwiched between the various manuals and quick start guides and such.

Have used both InvisibleShield and Boxwave. Love the Boxwave. The InvisibleShield had a sticky surface that hindered finger scrolling. I didn't like spraying liquid on the screen to adhere the protector, and it was difficult to line up. Forget trying to take it off and reapply it. I ruined the first protector when I did that. Ordered the Boxwave Crystal Clear. It has a slick surface so finger scrolling is very easy. If you don't get the protector lined up correctly, it is easy to pull off and reapply. I honestly felt like I had to press a little harder on the screen with the InvisibleShield. The Boxwave protector is very responsive.

Unfortunately, I picked up the phone with a family member and he had the Best Buy guy go through everything that was included in the box to make sure that everything was there (ironically). So by the time I opened the box myself, the manuals and etc were all already unpacked and the screen protector probably slipped out somewhere. Oh well, I plan to order a 3-pack of the boxwave protectors, since they look solid.
