I am so upset, i just got my universal on saturday, i have been enjoying it but i could not use it as a phone because i needed to unlock it. I had the damn thing in my pocket and was on a phone call on my other phone in the car, in my front pocket, not back. Got out of the car, walked into the hall and opened it and there it was, A BIG UGLY black gash on the screen, the screen cracked, it just in my pocket!!, closed too! Where can i get this fixed, i am in the states and the phone is not sold here so i don't know here to get it fixed. Please, the LCD liquid has made a dark smere across the left side, i need help, please. Also what is the best case to get, so this does not happen again?
Check Pocket PC Techs. They will replace the screen for you.
how?
Please how do i get to them?
ok
ok, thanks, thats really expensive, ok, what is best case to use for this device?
Broken screen resolution
Ok thank God i don't have to pay over $250 to get my screen fixed. T-mobile Uk agreed to replace it since it was gotten through them. The way this still happened baffels me. I have had my MDA3 for over 6 months and it has fallen about 4 times, and stuff and it still works fine, but the exec screen broke while in my pocket. Strange. My question is that, for people who have an exec, do you leave it in laptop mode or tablet mode most of the time, and have u had to replace yours or do a repair?
Broke my Wizard to, im so damn worried about my universal. Don't got the money over to fix that screen if it's gettin broke, have had almost all pda phones you can get in .se and never cracked any screen but damn qtek ive done it on
I use a krusell case but not because it is the best but because it was the only one available on hand. It cost 29€ here in spain.
Also, I never leave it in tablet mode in my pocket. Always in Laptop mode.
It's only in tablet mode while it's on my desk.
Purchase a metal case. You can keep it in PDA mode and view the screen while inside the case. It also has a belt clip
UD.
Thanks
I pray the second one does not break when it arrives, it is too expensive to fix these things. Can you post a link to the case? i have looked at most of the cases on here, i think i will go with the one for the T-mobile side kick 2, it is cheaper and looks ok. I just need something with a strong belt hook and is well paded, so if it is on my hip and something actually presses on it this time, it will not break.
I must admit , I feel my Unirversal is more vunerable than any other device I have ever owned - can't quit put my finger on why , but I feel as if it wouldn't survive being dropped as well as myXDA, XDAII , s100 , or wizard for that matter !
The XDA / XDAII came with a nice case vertical flip case with a metal plate in the flap - which would be ideal in my eyes , but I have only seen one like that on Ebay for the exec (Via hong kong! ) and I suspect the one you actaully receive may be different (horizontal )
here is the krusell case link:

and here is a metal case link:
http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=1355&t_mode=des
hope this helps
I had an XDA 3 and used a metal case. BIG ERROR!
one day the belt clip connector of the case broke and the device fell down, cracking the screen.
For my Mda Pro I ordered one Piel Frama case, which has not only a belt clip but also a fixed belt latch (you can take of original clip and then below) which should not break.
Also this case protects the device from all sides and seems to be thick enough to give it good protection in case of falls.

Replies, thank you all for your reply, i think i will go with a leather case, the metal ones are not attractive. The funny thing is that i just sent the phone back today, now it is gone, and as i got home, i got the unlock code from t-mobile UK!!!. DAMN!! I think i just have a bad luck week.
You can get cheap leather case with all sort of design off Ebay. I got mine from there and the quality is not bad at all
Piel Frama does NOT have a belt clip.

@universaldoc
check the link, I posted. I speak about a different Pielframe case. And this one HAS A BELT CLIP.
@BlackICE,
My bad! Thank for you for the correction. I thought you were referring to the standard case.
UD.
Just as an observation, the reason the screen would crack in your pocket would be something sharp hitting it? Could this not be easily solved by always making sure that the side of the HTC with the screen on it always faces towards your leg and not towards the outside? Sounds like an easier option than buying a metal case anyway :?
i usually keep my xda exec in my front pocket ... i'm not really a fan of cases esp. for the htc universals .... somewhat tacky ...
HTC
I had 15 cents in my pocket when it happened but i doubt that had anything to do with, it may have but with the way the coins were, i don't think so. I think maybe cause my knees bent, it stretched my trousers and that caused it (can't stop thinking about that day, ::sob::sob:.
With my MDA3, i always used the case that came with it, i like that, cause the case only holds the device. Thanks for your advice, :wink: i just ordered that ALU-Leather yesterday, but i am thinking it will be uncomfortable answering the phone with that leather all around it. I will see how it works out when it gets here but protection is number one now, i can't keep shipping it back to the UK. To people with cases that house the unit, do you answer the phone with the leather all around the unit or u use bluetooth, or you take it out of the case?
hello, does anyone have installed pictures of these films on their phone, i would like to see exactly how much coverage they offer, i have searched everywhere but cant find any

I just got my ghost armor in the mail today, it is actually front, back, and then smaller side and top, bottom pieces. I'll see about posting some pics when I install it. Not going to do it tonight, am very tired and don't want to screw it up.
Someone in the Invisible Shield post promised to post pics, but never did. I too was really curious how it looks, since I have never seen one in person.

Pictures for Invisible Shield (Full Body) on Fuze
Hi all,
Here is my Fuze that i covered with Full Body Invisible Shield. I like it, made it feel rugged and i can really put it at any surface now without worrying about scratching the sides. The four points or should i say eight points of the phone corners are not that protected. The IS has been covering my phone for almost 1 month.
I also increased the brightness and contrast of the pictures when i uploaded it so you guys could see the IS better.
I bought this so called "free lint cloth" from WalMart, but lo and behold, it's not actually lint free, it HAS lots of lint when i used it. So on the back of my Fuze, you will see a few white dots, those are the lints from the cloth. Well, lesson learn, gotta make sure it's lint free cloth
Hope the pictures help. But overall, i really like my IS.
thx for the pics - i wish someone would jsut release a decent non-glossy backcover replacement already for the fuze - i dont want to deal with protecting the back faceted stuff at all.
Do you find the screen protecter to reduce the screen sensitivity/scroll speed at all? The stock screen protector ive found to do this a little bit with my stylus input.

Looks good. I will very likely order one as soon as I get the Fuze. Your pics definitely helped me make my decision. It's hard to believe Invisible Shield doesn't have pics like that on their site, so customers can get a real look at what it looks like installed.
Thanks again!

It felt kinda weird after i first applied it, for the first week i would say, the IS feels alien sort of to the Fuze, but after that i let it cured under a desk lamp every night. During this time, i almost think about removing it and not using it, but i let it go and just wait after a few days and voila, it's really becoming the skin of my Fuze.
The screen becomes a little bit sticky with the stylus, i do have to get used to it, but after the first week, everything is good.
Eh. invisibleSHIELD doesn't do it for me. I'm ordering bodyguardz. It looks to unprecise.

Thank you so much for posting those pictures, it does worry me a bit that the corners are exposed, you would think that the corners would be the first to hit the ground when dropped but the good thing is that IS doesnt add bulk and allows the fuze to keep its good looks , leaning towords IS but have to do just a lil bit more research

would you consider bodyguardz has the most accurate precission compared to IS, ghost armor, and whatever else? I'm still trying to find a skin that is _specifically_ made for fuze and covering the corners as well.
i am thinking of getting bodyguardz.. been using them ever since
dont like Invisbile shield anymore but the back is good. front sucks
ghost armor never heard of them... might try it.
martinoverlay don't have it for fuze ):
best skinever = don't have it for fuze ):
blah hopefully i can find a discount to get a good deal :d
Insible Shield in Malls
I'm in the LA area and Invisible Shield has kiosk in some of the malls. You can se/touch/feel, etc.. it first hand. I looked at it and am going to have them (they cover the phone in about 45 minutes) my FUZE.
@cyberblue
So far, none of them covered the corners >.> none that I could find. This is because it would peel at corners and come off because they are round and not dead flat straight like the diamond is. There might be later. I ordered Bodyguardz after looking at the pictures and seeing that it looks much tougher and protects MUCH more area. and the invisible shield looks like crap. It is not fit for the fuze. Looking at the pics posted by someone on this forum, You'll notice that the screen protector and the front panel covers are not curved for the fuze. They're just straight.
***EDIT***
I'm curious. Since invisibleSHIELD usually has the correct dimensions and to the looks of this picture, it seems that the OP bought a touch pro body cover instead of a fuze body cover. I think that is a camera hole by the AT$T logo. But I'm not sure. I'll pm the poster of these pictures.
Pic:
Yea,
I did buy the Touch Pro GSM version of IS. Indeed, there is a hole in my AT&T logo, the IS had hole in it, i should have just put the small IS holeto cover it , but my mistake, i threw it out and i forgot about it.

I wish, I tried putting on a InvisibleSHIELD last week and that was a disaster.
Dear all,
I have been using LEO for few months now and really happy about it. Since this is my first-Extra large screen phone (my previous phone is Diamond2), I very worry about how to handle this phone. I've read some user have drop their phone and braking the screen mirror which really look bad.
Also in my country's forum also have talke about this accident and I have learn that t replace the mirror screen will cost them about 130-140 US dollar (when converted from my Home currency) and extra 20-30 US dollar for edge's housing.
On the time I bourght my LEO, the shop that sale me also give me a Case-Mate for free. My first impression about this case is look very promissed for protect this device because it made from Hard-rubber. the only negative point for this case is installing!! since is made from hard-rubber, it's really hard to install and remove it.
At first, I really don't feel like to install it because I don't want to make scratch on my LEO. However, when I thought about broken front glass. it's better to install it. I have using Case-Mate from the fist day until now and all I can said it's seem to protect my device as promise (I have droped my LEO once, from the car's seat to the floor which it's not too high).
For all reader, you may feel that this case is too good to be true which is YES!.... In addition, I also have a bad point of this case too! As I mention before. This Case-Mate is made from Hard-rubber. When I remove and reinstall it often (yes! you need to remove this case in order to remove the back cover when need to reset or remove battary), this case can give scratch on the hard-edge of your device. As you can see it on my photos. Also once you intalled this case. it's give you a little density to the phone and t will not fit to the standard bag.
It's took me more then 2 weeks to find a bag that fit with my LEO+Case-mate. Finally! I've found that "Golla" bag (as seen in photo) is allow me to fit my device and also it have a nice design's bad too.
In Summarize, even the Case-mate can scratch your device, but in my opinion... it worth that can give me an extra bit of protection. even my LEO's body may have scratch but it can be easy replace at service center with litte cost. On my other devices that I previous used, I often change my phone body once in every 2 -3 years...
So I hope that my little review can give you a clear picture of my case and again! Sorry for my english if everything I wrote does make sence at all.
Awesome review. and awesome pictures. thank you.
do you think putting electrical tape could of prevented those scratches or will it eat right through the tape as well?
and what color was that casemate? because their black comes very close to their gray.. do you have the original box that says what it was? thanks again.

Thank you for your comment!
My Case-mate is black colour as it said on the box, So it same colour as LEO. Sorry that I don't have picture of the case-mate box since I throw it always.. Also about electrical tape, it's a good idea too but I don't think you can't fit the case-mate once you use the tape.. because it really almost 100% fit wit LEO.
Nice review mate. I got one of these as well - a few months ago - and it has saved the (fragile I reckon) corners of my phone a few times. As long as you are careful when you remove it it's a cool case.
Cheers
nice review. im actually using in iphone leather case , i had to make a we mod so that it would shut, but it does the job and it goes on my belt. i found it so
open-air tomorrow.. need a protection for my hd2, and now just saw this, and i like that golla bag, maybe i go get one today, looks perfect for concerts (it just needs to be protectet in my pocket, i dont record vids on concerts T.T xD)

thank for sharing your review, it's a very nice review you have.
Friend recommended this to me, '303 Aerospace Protectant' works like a charm at keeping fingerprints off the screen & if you do get any it's really easy to wipe them off. I had tried RainX & it worked, but not really well. Also as a side note you can use this stuff on just about anything ! My car looks like new again inside & out. Even tires. At any rate give it a try. I'm done with screen protectors.

Thanks for posting this. I've never heard of any stuff like this. I will definitely be trying it soon. I've never liked armor all and this seems like what I really want.

I have some of this in my trailer. I'll have to give it a try. Do you spray it onto a towel and wipe it on the screen?
I just use a paper towel to put on & a micro-fiber cloth to wipe off/polish. My tablet is still holding up fine where as my phone with the RainX isn't, so put the 303 on it tonight. I'm sure your going to be happy with it, let me know & no I'm not in any way shape or form involved with the company I just love the stuff.
So lets say someone takes a key and slides it across your screen? Does it protect it then? (No flame intended... I'm trying to wiegh the pros and cons of this stuff compared to the ****e screen protector I got off amazon free with a case.) The screen protector I have now picks up scratches like a scratching post for an animal... but the screen underneath is most likely pristine.
Jeez ! Do you know the difference between Protectant and Protector ?
Hmm made me curious, saw it on ebay also.
Dit you tape-off the front-camera or microphone? I have the later model with mic between glass and alu.

If someone did that to my A500, I'd spray the person in the face with 303 Aerospace Protectant. But seriously, no screen protectors for me. I may try this stuff.
No, I just put it on carefully Also found two things if you put it on wipe off & let set overnight it seems to work better. I still haven't done a second coat yet but have read that works better I don't know. All I know as I said mine is still holding up. Just use a micro fiber cloth to touch it up occasionally.
... and not a scratch. I was at the gym on the elliptical and my phone was knocked off the shelf up on the control panel to the ground by the woman on the next machine who tripped a little bit as she dismounted. I didn't see how the phone landed because at first I thought the woman had passed out or something and I was trying to break her fall. I was expecting carnage but I cant find a single mark on the phone. I have to figure I was lucky in this case and it does make me think, do I cover the sexy beast up or do I continue to go commando (so to speak) and hope for the best?
Anyhow I suppose it is good to know for the moment that the phone does stand some chance of surviving a drop onto a hard surface.
Awesome

I'm terrified not to have a case on my phone's but just like you I've dropped mine once and nothing happen thank goodness.
I've dropped mine unprotected a few times, and I've yet to have any sort of scratches. Wonder what this stuff is made of haha
First time was while getting out of my car- out of my coat pocket onto cement. (This was probably the worst of the falls.)
Second, Out of my hand onto hardwood floors.
Third (and most recent-) again from my hand onto linoleum (in the kitchen this morning.)
And after all that- the phone is still passably new.
Yeah I was going naked since I love the nylon and had the free screen replacement, but a fall from my car to the cement ruined all of that fun. Gotta case up the replacement model now
I'm risking it without a case right now. I've got a Zagg screen protector, but the blue ballistic nylon is too nice to cover up. I've got the free replacement + square trade warranty so hopefully I'll be covered if anything happens
Similar experience here; skateboarding in Philadelphia (super rough concrete sidewalks and street), dropped from my hand, fell right onto the griptape and off onto the street. Small scratch on the black part of the frame that's not noticeable unless you look hard.

Yeah... I didn't see it online when I registered it, so I just registered it as a Droid Maxx
I normally case em up right away not just for the protection but also to make them thicker, I find the most recent phones a little too thin to hold comfortably. With this one being a little more bulky than the current norm, a very comfortable shape for me, and the ballistic nylon which for some reason I find to feel very nice in hand I've been loathing the thought of wrapping the rascal.
That out the car door drop is the worst, done that one a few times. Seems like that rough pavement combined with the way it comes out kinda sideways so it skids a little when it hits are a killer.
I hit up Amazon for the casemate case, forget what they call it but its the clear one. I'm hoping it wont join my commuter case which I had on the phone for five minutes before it went in the drawer.

I took it back and got the ballistic back version and this one doesn't have that problem.
Pinhole
My dog jumped and caught my headset wire and sent my Moto Maxx flying out of my hand onto the sidewalk. Looked none the worse for wear except for a tiny sharp feeling speck on back by camera. I was worried that the ballistic nylon was unraveling there. Looked at it under a microscope, and there is a tiny little hole in the nylon, perfectly round, like it landed on a pin. The edges of the hole were rough, that's what I felt. I took the blunt end of a wooden cotton-tip applicator and pushed down on the area, and it smoothed out. Now it feels fine and looks fine unless you look at it under the microscope! Weird little bit of damage though!
I think the phone is tough and looks cool, but the ballistic nylon is not very grippy, so I now slap a TPU case on it before I walk the dogs!

No, it has that issue in other areas and not the Moto logo.
Its a non-issue. There is a pocket of air between the backing and the internals. The back is not glued on and there is an adhesive for the QI charging coil. You pressing on it is probably touching that, making the noise.

That hole may be for a noise cancelling microphone. Mine has it too. I had to use a magnifying glass to see it, it's particularly hard to see on the ballistic back, but mine has one too. What first drew my attention to it was that one of the cases I was looking at had a hole in the same location.
