Screen Protector

---

Still sitting with my mogul....
dreaming of the EVO....with that nice big screen!


I have always used a screen protector with the mogul....and the ppc6600 before that....
I always ensure that I have the phone in the left pocket (dedicated to itself), screen facing leg.....

are you guys planning on using a screen protector.... or has the tech changed enough that the screens are relatively durable? (as you can tell I have been out of the loop for a while)

if you are buying a screen protector.... which one?

never used a screen protector on my HTC Hero and it doesn't even have a scratch. I'm sure the Evo screen is made of the same stuff as the Hero so you wouldn't need a screen protector.

I'm going to have a screen protector on my Evo, and here's why.

As we all know, glass is very very hard. Harder than most steel that it comes into contact with in fact. That's why keys and razor blades can't scratch glass screens.

HOWEVER, there is one material that can ruin a glass screen, and it's actually the substance from which some types of glass is created. Sand. This is because sand is an abrasive material, rather than just a sharp and pointy object. It might be very unlikely to take this phone with you to a playground, but sand and similar substances can still get in your pocket by other methods.

I think I'd rather take spending a few dollars over running away from any tiny specks that get near my phone.

I'm going to be getting a Boxwave Antiglare as soon as they are available. I have one on my Hero, and it is incredible. Other that my EVO will be naked (just like my Hero). Thank you, HTC, for learning how to make MATTE phones! I am so sick of glossy electronics that attract fingerprints and scratches like crazy.

When we went to get my GFs touch pro 2 from a sprint store,I asked the sales guy not to put on the OEM screen protector. So the douche bag comes out from the back with the screen protector on, crooked, with like 3 bubbles under it. She was so psyched about getting the phone she said it was fine, so we leave and call Sprint.

The tell us they can send us a replacement but we'd have to cut it to fit. I got mad, and couldn't understand why they couldn't send us an OEM. I ended up getting a credit for like 15 bucks anyways.

I swear to god if anyone at best buy even tries to open the box on the Evo I have pre ordered when I go pick it up i'm gonna lose it--

Anyway I've had some great results with the boxwave screenies, both for my vogue and my girls tp2. Use a screen protector, really.

Zagg already has an InvisibleShield kit for the HTC Evo 4g. Google them to take a look. That's what I'll be putting on mine.

Never dude, after the reviews i have seen on that ****, i will NEVER buy those zagg screen protectors. They make your screen look HORRIBLE, tiny bumps and imperfections everywhere! Don't get me wrong though, they are strong as hell when it comes to scratches!

I usually, whenever i get a new ipod or phone, always get a screen protector and a case. I usually only get a case for ipods since they have the mirror backs, but i always get screen protectors for anything i buy with a screen that i carry around. I like keeping my stuff protected, and really, for a phone i know I'm going to have for a long time, don't want the screen scratched up. So yes, I will be buying a screen protector, but not a case due to the excellent addition of the matte backing, i might buy a case at some point, but likely won't, don't want to block that kickstand!

I like the effect invisible shields leave... That slippery feeling, it leaves a little texture, but that's fine by me cause I hate when I wash my hands and they're not oily enough and I try to use my phone, it just drags and feels uncomfortable. NEVER happens with invisible shields.

At the Evo event in NYC, they showed some upcoming cases. All of them leave a gap for access to the kickstand.

In addition, PhantomSkinz already has the HTC Evo skin up for preorder as well.

From what I hear, those skins are much better and less noticeable than the InvisibleShields.
