So I just purchased a second hand HD2 and WOW, this thing has it going on!. It doens't look like it has a screen protector on it but I'm not sure. When the LCD is off you can see a criss cross pattern on the screen. Is this some sort of protector?

No, that's the capacitive touch screen sensors. All capacitive screens have that.
So thats why it feels so iphony. 10-4! Thanks. Now do you reccomend I buy one of the expensive ones at best buy or a cheapo off feebay? Is there a big difference?

you might be able to get away with not using one...the glass screen on the HD2 is treated to be much harder and more scratch resistant than regular glass. I've been using mine "naked" since I got it a couple of months ago, and don't have a single scratch even though it usually just gets stashed in my jeans pocket.

I agree with SirPhunkee but it couldn't hurt to have one on there. I saw a video on youtube of some guy going to town on the screen with a box cutter and knife and not a single scratch was on it. I got a screen protector, car charger, wall charger and case on amazon really cheap and it works great. All in all it is up to you! Good Luck
The screen is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
I did and currently have my phone "naked" but like a dumb ass, i had in my pants pocket along with my kershaw knife. The small steel rounded allen head screw put 2 nice little scratches along the center bottom half of my screen.
Its an expensive, amazing device but sh!t happens
I love freaking people out by taking my keys to my screen. I've been using mine "naked" as well because I think screen protecters take away from the clarity.
My main gripe with screen protectors is it doesn't feel as accurate to the touch. I may go commando, maybe not. I bought one of those invisible sheilds from best buy tonight and so far I'm impressed. Much more then those ebay kits and feels like a real silicon layer. Hopeing touch sense will still be good too. Usually though if I pay under $150 for a phone I don't use a protector. More and if the phones mint I do.

if you got the phone through t mobile. it comes with a silicone case. back cover check. now you can buy a screen protector at walmart for 5 dollars. the same brand radioshack sells it for $11! rip off. i say you go with a screen protector. the hd2 lcd is a fingerprint magnet!

The silicone is downright filthy. It attracts dust and clogs up the ear-piece grill like there is no tomorrow.
The $20 one I got from BB is like a sticky guey and wierd. You lube it up and work it on, then after 12 hours the micro bubbles are supposed to be gone. So far I'm 3 hours in and its looking pretty good. Its way thinner then the wallmart cut your own's. Which I have on me and realized how easy it would be to make one with the custom cuts.

If you dont mind spending $20 you can get the Zaag Invisible Shield from Best Buy for $20. They do have one custom cut for the T-Mobile HD2, I saw it in person last weekend at one of the Best Buys here in Tampa. I did not look closely enough at the box to see if it was just the screen protector or the full body protection kit.
I bought the full body kit off Zaag's site shortly after I bought the HD2, I think I spent $25 for it. In the end I ended up just using the screen protector and put the OEM silicone case back on it. The HD2 teetering on its camera lens bothered me, and I really wasn't crazy with how the body covering part of the Zaag kit looked, picked up lint along the edges of the sheets too. I also like the extra grip the silicone skin provdes. I can leave it lying on my car seat and not worry about it launching to the floor if i have to slam on the breaks. Seems you end up doing a lot of that here in Florida, between the crazy old people and the people who are just plain nuts or distracted
The Zaag protector did seem to slightly desensitize the screen a bit, but i actually like that. i found it to be way too sensitive after coming from a resistive screen device.
Yah I got the zag one. Looks great but I got a defective one. Has a lazer cut about half inch on the back of the screen. Looks great but I'm gonna return it for a perfect one. I figure if I'm spending $22 on a piece of PET it better be perfect. I like that you can buy replacements for $14 though and they will replace it for free if its damaged defending your phone.
Zagg invisible shields equal awesome. And I am not just saying that because the company started where I am from, lol.
I scratched mine the 2nd day I got it. I was placing it on a granite counter and just barely nicked the screen. It was driving me crazy.
Man..Whoooooww, Good thing that very day my phone's vibrator stopped working. Lucky I took it back and got a new one. ;-)
I scratched mine as well right in the middle because I had it in my pocket with my keys. I wish I could peel the film off and get rid of the scratch ! I hear that if I put a screen protector on it that it will hide the scratch though so I hope it works!
I'm fed up of dusts under the screen, every product I buy seems to get it after some time.
I'm sure it didn't have this issue out of the box, as I would have realized. Today, my screen got dirty after playing around with it with greasy hands so I thought I should clean it with the microfiber cloth that came with my TV. I was cleaning it, but turns out the cloth wasn't clean either. Anyway it got even more dust on the screen, and when I cleaned the screen, there was dust under the screen that just didn't go away.
There is just 1 of them, it is only visible under direct light or when the screen is white. It is hard to see, but knowing it is there freaks me out. I don't think I can get a replacement either..
What should I do? Live with it?
Sadly only solution is to send it to samsung for a cleanup maintenance. Thats what i did with my phones
That's a solution but I don't really want to do it just for one pixel... And it's on the far bottom-right, not at a place that's easily seemable. But knowing it's there gives me OCD..

Are you sure its not scratches in the glass, afaik the touch screen would be glued to the digitizer like most other touch devices, so i dunno how you got dust under there.

The dust would be between the top layer of glass and the screen, I had a piece of dust near the edge of the screen that appeared soon after I got the tab, tapped the tab on edge and the dust disappeared never to return.
it is because the builder quality issue. the form between two layer not sealed well.
sometime the duct gets through. it is annoying issue for the phone
It's not at a very-obvious location, and it's really,really hard to see while using it. Now what's smitching my mind is, did it get in there or was it there all the time?
It's a horrible experience to live with it, i lived with it for like 5 months my g2 had a lot of dust under, so what i did is sell it on craigslist, but i chose to meet at night to do the trade so he wouldnt see the dust cuz you really cant see it at night but, i sold it cheap leaving room for the guy to send it back to the factory to fix te problem, selling it could be the best shot for you because if you got dust in there will be more comming in to join the party

That isn't possible to get dust there. I dropped my tab and broke the wimpy gorilla glass. I replaces it and I can tell you the glue that binds the glass to the digitizer is very solidly stuck! Are you using a screen protector? Possibly there?

I dropped my belt buckle on the tab, and got a small line about 2mm on the screen, the LCD is ok, but the top glass is cracked. I have a screen protector, might have kept it from getting bigger.

I hate those little dusts.
I've had some of them under screen protector but never under the screen itself.
semi-related, but my ipod (not a touch, a video) has a ton of pieces of dirt underneath the glass, presumably on top of the lcd
Tears in my eyes!
No, not from the dust...... from the laughter induced by content of this post.
Please don't get me wrong, dust is a genuine concern, so I don't mean any offence whatsoever.
Thanks (+1) aryuautku for one of the best laughs I've had in a while
"Now what's smitching my mind is, did it get in there or was it there all the time?"

Has anyone ever used an invisible shield, they say it's better than a normal
screen protector and it's easy to install, without any dust under it.
Is that true?
Who has the official Verizon tempered glass for the Note 3? How is the screen quality on your's? And does it work through the S view window with it on? Thanks, i'm in America now to visit my cousins and i came across a verizon tempered glass screen protector for the Note 3 and plan on buying it for 25 bucks.
Thumbs up
I put one on my note 3, no ill effects. works great, just expensive.

I would take it off immediately. There are numerous reports online that once the glass screen protector shatters , you risk shattering the glass underneath greatly and at least scratching it.

I used the one above and it works great. My gf had it for about 5 months and no bubbles.
Does get a little oily, but one good screen protector that doesn't start to form tiny bubbles. Some of the matte finish ones start to form bubbles randomly.
I got one and it is great, i am not sure why but i can see my note 3 easier in sunlight now, not sure if it is anti-glare or i am just going crazy. Does anyone know the EXACT thickness of this verizon tempered glass screen protector? I know it has 9H hardness though.
I purchased the Verizon one. I love it so far. Way better then traditional screen protectors and smooth to the touch. I'm not sure about the sview as I don't have one but works flawlessly with s pen. Great perk about buying it at Verizon is they will put it on for you. I know some people on here are pros but I get nervous putting mine one.

I had one of the "Chinese" glass screen protectors from eBay, and I loved it - not noticeable at all and very smooth to the touch... until the top edges began to separate and form huge bubbles at the top after only a few weeks. No matter what I did they wouldn't go away... it was driving me crazy so I had to take it off.
I'd love to hear from anyone that bought the Verizon one about how it's holding up after a few weeks of use.
Too bad I already used my $10 free isis promotion at Verizon.

Had the Spigen R on it, she bumped one corner of it on my kitchen counter and the Spigen cracked and spiderwebbed the hell out of the glass under it.

Yeah that's the other thing that drove me insane. I was VERY careful when putting it on, and immediately placed it on after removing the protective plastic, yet somehow a few pieces of dust got in there.... it's then impossible to get them out. Once you remove it fully, or try to get dust or anything off of the side that goes on the screen, it gets ruined. ?
Suffice to say, I'll never get ANY type of screen protector like that again. As much as I really don't want an actual case, it looks like I'll probably be getting the s-view case with built-in wireless charging capability.

One time i got a screen protector and dust got in it, so i took it back off and scraped the dust off, turns out i scraped off some of the sticky parts and it turned into a giant bubble
I've had my S6 Edge for a week and several visible light scratches starts to appear on the screen. I was waiting for my screen protector to arrive from amazon. And I was extra careful with the naked device.
This issue is not new. But with Samsung and Corning constantly reassure the ability of improved scratch resistance of the device. I doubt many people will not put on a screen protectors.
So, I suggest you guys put on one now, before it's too late, asap.
I have already ran into that issue some very small light scratches while waiting for my screen protector in the first week. I am extra careful also no clue where they came from.
I believe the glass has some sort of oleophobic coating on it and that is what is getting the fine scratches in it. Not that it really matters because it still looks terrible. But I don't believe the glass itself is scratching.

Corning never claimed that their glass is perfect. I've got a OnePlus one with Gorilla Glass 3 that I've used unprotected for almost a year and it's still scratch free. Your glass didn't scratch itself.

I ordered this one. It has matte finish so you can get away with fingerprints, it has healing factor to heal small scratches itself, it is edge to edge means that it will cover the entire screen including the curved parts.
So far so good. I like it.

I highly doubt your 'scratch free' statement. I'm sure it has small scratches on the surface but you just cant see it very clearly. As long as the glass is still softer than sands. There will be scratches.
I am using samsung galaxy s4 since 2 years without any screen guard and havent got an single scratch on screen....dont know how you ppl get it. And if you say there might be small scratches on screen, no even if u see it in bright sunlight not a single one appears

There's nothing wrong with the Zagg shield front+back protector you can get from Verizon. I won't even let my phone leave the store without having a screen protector on it ... I know myself, and I know there's literally zero chance it wont get scratched.
Even if you're waiting for a better (tempered glass) screen protector ... do yourself a favor and buy something cheap while you're waiting for it to arrive. Not trying to preach or be a dink, but you can't blame the glass for scratching - blame yourself.

I hope so!
I see a few (scratches) on mine and I have not had this phone anywhere nor put it in a place where something could have scratched it! Compared to my other devices that have been pocketed and used a lot and those screens are flawless!
It reminds me of the camera glass on the HTC One M8. That got all kinds of crazy looking scratches and it was never touched. It was some kind of coating on the glass that caused it. And, too, it was easily rectified with some Brasso...
We're talking really tiny scratches here, completely invisible to content when viewing the screen head on. But when off, especially in sunlight, they are there. It's bothersome like when you notice a tiny scratch or ding on a new car.
I can say that I have the phone since 17th and I'm having extra careful and with direct sun light is where I can see if I have scratches or not. So on the screen I have zero scratches has I had with my s5 without a screen protector at least for 7months but on the s6 edge the screen as I said zero scratches but on the part that has the capacity buttons because it's gold version I can see there some light scratches
Same here, I'm giving the exact same usage to my S6 Edge that the one I did with my S5 and S4, both of them have only a couple of small tiny scratches but my S6E has A LOT already. I'm so disappointed at this as I never required to use an screen protector since my S4.
Got my S6e on 4/17 and so far have only a single, very faint scratch on the screen where I would have to tilt the phone in sunlight "just so" to barely make it out. I'm fairly certain I got that when I dropped my phone at the gym.
Last night I received the Cellbee "glass-like" screen protector, followed the directions as best I could... and ended up throwing the damn thing away. I made sure I was in an environment free of airflow and minimal dust, and it resulted in one of the worst finished products in my years of experience putting screen protectors on. On top of that, the surface had so much friction it felt like my finger was running on top of rubber.
Anyway, waiting for the tempered glass, or at least a standard protector with more success stories. Don't want to waste another $10.

Around the edges? Ya it's there but you get used to it after a day or so.
I ordered a $2.15 LOCA tempered glass screen protector on Aliexpress. Purchased 08/28 and received it today 09/17. I live in San Francisco. Overall the quality of the screen is pretty much the same as the Whitestone. This one doesn't come with the plastic alignment case that the Whitestone comes with, but you get a UV light and single bottle of glue. I used the same procedure as Whitestone but just without the guide. Also you don't get any tapes to protect the USB ports, etc. I just cut some packing tape and covered those up. I did ok, there is a small air bubble at the bottom. I hope it slowly cures over time. My experience with Whitestone is that you don't want to push and squeeze too hard. You can barely notice it when screen is on, but I'm kind of OCD so I ordered another and may swap it.
So if you have experience and can wait (Note 10/10+ comes with a screen protector), save some money. BTW, finger print works just fine.
Aliexpress Link
is that an Spigen tough armor case?
cheers
Same experience. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. Just tape over the speakers. There are some on ebay for a similar price if you don't like using Ali for some reason.
Whitestone and AMFILM are good if you need to be spoon fed.
*looks at my Whitestone with no bubbles* Hmmm... Maybe being "spoon-fed" isn't so bad.

I had bubble with my first Whitestone. I think having the guide cage helps but if you have experience, it's not necessary. There is just some luck to it.

I've installed quite a few LOCA TGSPs. Some I bought LOCA separate and then bought a TGSP and made my own kit. Worked great, was messy AF to install, cause I had NO idea how much to use, LOL. and they all chipped and cracked in a week or two.
I've also bought some cheaper kits that included the right amount of LOCA and a TGSP. They ended up lifting on the edges. Last one I tried was Note 9.
I wound buying a second used Note 9 that already had Whitestone Dome installed by the previous owner, and I loved it. So when I pre-ordered my Note 10+, I pre-ordered a Whitestone Dome for it. Sucked paying over $40, but honestly, I've spent hundreds in the past trying to find the "perfect" screen protector. Don't regret Whitestone or the money spent at all. And the installation tray made it dead simple. It was worth it to get it right the first time.
If I had to change TGSPs, if go with AmFilm, just because they're also getting great reviews are basically half the price. Or I'd go back to a soft screen protector, the Ringke Dual Easy Film. It's just basically invisible.

Depends on which one you buy the wet install ones typically suck to use with the SPen. The Ringke was awesome. Couldn't tell it was there, even with the SPen. I honestly can't speak highly enough of them. They honestly feel like glass.

I haven't tried one on my N10+, but installed them on my Note 9 and my wife's S10+. Neither one had any issues with the edges lifting at all. I wish I had some tricks to offer, but I just followed the directions.
It's funny, when I installed my wife's Ringke on her S10+ I was showing her the difference between it and the Whitestone Dome tempered glass (which are the time was on my Note 9). I was showing her how glass was smoother than her Ringke protector, but to my surprise, my finger actually glided easier across her Ringke than my Whitestone! Now my Whitestone Dome on that phone was a few months old, so some of the oleophobic coating had probably worn off and her Ringke screen protector was brand new, but I was really shocked and just how smooth it was to the touch.
As far as the lifting edges, two thoughts. One, you didn't get it lined up perfectly so maybe something is a little off? A half millimeter either way could make it uneven. But I don't think thats the issue. Two, perhaps the edges of your phone weren't clean enough and had some residual oils? Or three, you just got a faulty screen protector. If it gets worse, try the second one in the pack. If that fails, reach out to Ringke and they should replace it for free.

The lift is really very minor. Only the most OCD types will mind. Thanks for the rec. I agree how easy it's to glide your finger on it. Finger print also works better.

I installed Whitestone on my N10+, but bought a pack of Ringke as a back up. Crack the Whitestone, I can install the Ringke while waiting on a replacement.
But, I think what I'll do is next paycheck, I'm going to order the AmFilm LOCA screen protector and run a little comparison.
I've used Whitestone for a month now and am pleased, but I do think it made the FP sensor less accurate But I'll remove it and install the Ringke and see how I like it, especially with the fingerprint sensor.
I'll use that for a couple weeks then install the AmFilm tempered glass one and compare it to the others.
It means a waste of $40, but in the name of inaccurate anecdotal science, why not? And if I decide I prefer Whitestone after all, it's just a $10 replacement under warranty to go back to it. I'll post my results in a thread here, maybe with some pictures.
Sorry, I know that had nothing to do with your lifting edges. Just thinking out loud. And by out loud, I mean in silence and just typing it.
The lifting edges of ringke, when I installed on my s10+, I found it best to work them down initially then just wait a while before trying again. I waited around 30 mins to 1hr after fitting it and found they stuck down easily.
I struggled with the 1st protector so discarded it but using the waiting method, the 2nd protector sides stayed down.
If you like the original screen protector you can get OEM quality screen protectors cheap on eBay. You want ones made out of PET which are harder like the OEM ones and not the soft TPU ones that you have to install wet and they dent way too easily. I install the PET ones wet though as you have time to move it around on the screen to get it aligned perfectly and you just push out the solution (I spray purple cleaner on the screen before I install) and any dust is removed when you push out the solution.
Just installed one myself that came from aliexpress. It turned out fine but was a bit disappointed that the glass is curvy on the edges like an s10 rather than being "boxy" so the edges are a bit exposed. Can't be bothered though to buy another one and go through the installation again as it took quite some time to get it done. Fingerprint is working fine, just press the fingerprint area while curing for the first time.

I thought using a wet solution would make the glue not stick anymore for the PET types. Also I was told by Samsung that the stock screen protector is applied with a UV light to cure. So it's like a tempered glass install but a thin plastic type?
