Hi all.

I am almost sure my X1 will soon be replaced by an HD7; so I was going to purchase a screen protector and a good case some days in advance.

I checked Brando shop which has nothing for HD7 yet.

So I was wondering if in the meanwhile I can safely order a screen protector designed for an HD2, being the screen the same size.

What do you think about the case ? Are the connectors' positions similar in the two phones ?

Thanks
S

if i am not wrong..
you cant buy the HD2 screen protector.. because the HD7 has a flushed surface with the capacitive buttons.. so the area to be covered by the protector is larger than the HD2's..

@yosagojimbo do you know what I would search for to find it online? That website is pretty, but useless.

I just found a silicon case on MobileDen.co.uk but its currently out of stock and the pic does not show the back. I would like find out if the kick stand still works with the case on it, but the 'contact us' link doesn't even click anywhere.

As a word of warning, don't bother with a soft case from ebay user: 1smltd. It's oversized, and definitely not designed for the HD7.

I will order as usual a martinfields protector for my soon coming hd7. I had them for my past 3 htc devices and I'm really happy with martinfields !

Just need to look for a proper case :)

Anyone know a good screen protector that is anti smudge?

I use to buy one for my iPhone from Powersupport. But sadly they only make them for iPhones...

I don't like screen protectors that feels exactly the same as the screen, where it smudges etc.

tmobile screen protectors suck. you could order really cheap ones on ebay but the quality is questionable.

thanks for the feedback. Maybe the dimensions are just cut incorrectly for devices with more complex outlines. The reason I say this is because my friend ordered some for his iPhone 4 and they seem fit perfectly. The material is exactly the same as bestskinsever or zagg shields meaning there is some orange peel texture.

This case? Look nice in the pics, does it look just as good when on the phone?



this case makes the buttons super sensitive to press; simply slightly touching down on the side of the buttons is enough to trigger them (excluding the power button), and i can never able to boot up the phone without going to the "connect to pc" screen with the case on

sorry for late reply foaf (forgot i'd posted in this bit).

I got the case and screen from the o2 shop, but can't find details for it on the site either.

after a good fortnight of use, I would recommend both the screen and shell

let us know how this works for you. Might have to invest in one.

To the OP, why are you protecting a glass screen? Plan on skipping it across the pavement???:eek:
I usually use boxwave protectors for my devices, but with my hd2 and my soon to be here hd7 (damn you UPS!!!), I don't use them anymore just due to personal preference.
I prefer the look of no protector, but I am glad that I have them. I hate scratched on my phone. and mine always manage to get scratched. I've always carried my phones in my back pocket for ease, which keeps them pretty safe, but when my 2 yr old decided to ski with my HD2 across the kitchen floor, lets just say that protector saved it's life! haha
