Screenguardz - Hero CDMA Accessories

Has anyone tried the Screenguardz product? It is made by NLU(the same company that makes Bodyguardz). I am trying to find a screen protector that is the most fingerprint and dust resistant.

I will have to give this a look. I'm OCD when it comes to fingerprints and smudges.

Have a look at this.It looks pretty cool

No Need for the screen protector. Its the special screen. I work in a machine shop with brass chips all over the place and keep my phone in my pocket and on a bench and I have absolutely no scratches on the screen. I got the phone in October. Getting a screen protector for the Hero is a waste. On the other hand, the screen on my ipod touch in same environment has scratches all over the screen.

The hero's screen is super hard but it is scratchable
Maybe it's harder than brass? I don't know much about hardness ratings but I know it is measurable.
It's very tiny but I did manage to put one scratch on mine (no idea how) before I put a zagg shield on it. I haven't tried anything else but I would recommend zagg, I like it.

<rant>HD2 t-mobile brand screen protector.

Just for info, there's two in the box. it covers ONLY the screen that has the LCD. DOesn't cover whole face.
Never had issues sticking on these static type protectors but this one gave me hell. ruined both. the protector is slightly tacky. And will attact dust(like any like this) so make sure you're in a clean room. But both of my protectors wouldn't stick on the edges of the protector. and every time I tried to peel it up and putting it back down, it still didn't hold. Then dust got under it. augh. Ruined both. I wonder if they would take them back since both wouldn't stick on teh edges? Aww... they will probably say I'm returning it because I got dust under it.
i know how you feel! i bought them when i got my hd2 and i got the top two-thirds of the protector on perfect but then the bottom third somehow got dust underneath, it really not that bad when the screen is on but its still annoying. cant wait to get my invisibleshield on it tho!
order this, the maximum protection from zagg....
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
I used invisishield on my ipod. Great stuff, but hard to get on perfect. 3 parts for a curved back and front only covers the LCD part? The front part sounds so unlike them. They normally have it going round buttons and everything.
But it's like putting tint on. You need to have a liquid to make slide just right.
i used invisible shield on my iphone, and it was fully protected. It did add grip to the device which i liked. Anyways, the maximum protection shield covered more than the normal full-body shield. It'll cover not only the LCD screen but all spaces around the hardware buttons and well as the speaker.

I also got these same screen protectors and was dissapointed when it did not cover the entire screen.
Trick to putting on screen protectors.
1.) Make sure the screen is completely clean of all smudges etc.
2.) Use a can of air duster to remove any small dust particles that might be stuck on the phone. If you don't have that then just take a piece of tape and remove any dust particles or dirt from the screen. This is the most important part!
3.) Line up the screen protector on the screen where you want to place it.
4.) Peel back the backing of the screen protector as you lay the screen on the device. Start from the top of the device and work your way down. If need be take out a credit card or another hard piece of plastic of some sort to push out any air bubbles that may occur as you lay down the screen protector.'
5.) Enjoy a job well done.
It's interesting to note that all the previous posts are (I assume) from US members.
You get a screen protector with the phone and we here in the UK don't.
I have heard mention that when some EU units have been returned for screen problems they have been repaired with what has appeared to be a plastic version of the screen.
My phone is now coming on three months old, never had a protector, never used a case and the screen is immaculate.
Can anyone say if theirs "feels" like plastic?

My TMOUS HDC HD2 is definitely glass.
I didn't bother to use a screen protector (didn't even know there was one supplied)...it isn't necessary on a glass screen.
Its very hard to scratch glass...you would need a very sharp object, made out of a very hard material (harder than glass), applied with a lot of pressure. I've had my iPhone for 3 years, and the glass is flawless on it. The aluminum housing is scratched, dented, and dinged up, and the LCD panel has a little bit of bruising on the top left corner BEHIND the glass...but the glass itself is immaculate.
Apple actually pulled the screen protectors off the shelves from the Apple store because they felt they were unnecessary..and frankly anyone who pays for one on the HD2 or iPhone wasted their money.
You'll actually see more imperfections on the screen by applying a screen protector...they have a tendency to attract dust, bubble up, and flat out get dirty. The only maintenance you need to do on a glass screen is polish out smudges and finger prints.
The biggest peril to glass touch screens is cracks from falls....and if your HD2 suffers a big enough impact, a screen protector or 'invisible shield' won't do squat to keep it from cracking
glass or plastic..either way.. i was soooooooooooo confident i wouldnt scratch mine, until about a minute ago when i was in the process of wiping the glass(plastic) screen before putting on a screen protector, i noticed a little scratch...great. Should've put on a protector sooner...
From now on, I willl be putting on a screen protector unless the screen are made out of crystal sapphire or something..

We actually do not get an included screen protector. Only the black gel case, which imo is quite crappy... loose and flimsy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6117793#post6117793 Check out oy instillation of the Invisible shield if you are considering buying one. I bought the Maximum Protection and it covers almost everything besides for around the buttons on the bottom, volume rocker, camera, Micro USB/ 3.5 Headphone jack, and the finger nail grove on battery cover. I also would like to note that my TMOUS HD2 did not include any screen protectors in the box.
Sorry imo I have to disagree with you about the included gel being loose mine fits quite snugly and until my zagg comes in I prefer to keep it in the gel...not as slick & keeps the screen(when face down) off the flat surface.
A tipp for all you guys getting dust under the screen:
I always apply a new screen protector in my bathroom after showering - the steam in the air (the more steam, the better) binds most of the dust particles and makes it A LOT easier to get a perfect result!

I agree, I used to do this back in the day before Zagg came around. It works great.
I have read with other products people use a drop or water/soap water before applying a screen protector. Has anyone used this method on this device? i am concerned that the water will somehow ruin the device. I know it's only a drop or 2 but wanted to get some feedback first before i tried it.

Gorilla glass SUCKS... my screen is scratched!!!

I didnt buy a screen shield because i was told the droid/milestone use gorilla glass which makes it almost impossible to scratch the screen , boy i was WRONG, my milestone has like 4 scratches, two are just visible when the screen is off so its ok , but the other two are VERY VISIBLE, they're almost staring me , when i use apps with white backgrounds such as the messaging app and the browser the scratches "leak light" , i've become obsessed
Theres nothing i can do know but to advise all of you to buy a screen protector
Yes, and I can recommend the screen protectors from Martin Fields The price is average, but it's like that thing is invisible...no touch screen sensibility problems, scratch resistant and light absorbing...
The only phone I'm having which is scratch proof is the Nokia 8600 Luna. I've never saw another phone without scratches...

you sure about that?im really concerced about screen sensibilty
well, I don't want to sound like a sales representative, but I really have to admit that I didn't notice any change in touch sensibility (at least I didn't notice it)...I had a HTC Tattoo before and bought the screen protector from Martin Fields also for that one and there also was no change in sensibility...
it's only 0,2 mm thick by the way
Why, that's no thicker than a condom.

TBH I have a cheap screen protector and never had any touch screen problems on any of the touch screen phones i have had
Gorilla Glass doesn't sucks... The perception that it is un-scratchable sucks.
Unfortunately this thing is poorly market and no one makes any effort to properly tell you that, altough Gorilla Glass is really harder and really much more difficult to scratch, it is easily scratched by diamonds (well, that is life, diamonds are harder than almost anything) and quartz (which is commonly found on dust and sand). Usually scratches come from friction from jewels with the screen or friction of dust/sand in your pockets or something else with the screen. I can tell you that I take care to not store my phone in dusty places or places where jewels are nearby, and never had any scratch on it, it has even fallen once or twice, screen down.
Mutch better than, per say, my old Nokia E51 (which I love BTW), that had scratchs of just taking it off my pocket and putting it on my pocket...
The main selling point of gorilla glass is its strength, it's really hard to break : It is hard to SMASH AND CRACK. the scratch resistant is just a marketing scheme.

This "Its awesome Gorilla Glass, dude! No Scratches and cracks never ever" is only marketing. There is every time a way to scratch and break this thingy.
THe first thing I am doing after purchasing a Gadget with a screen like Handhelds or Smartphones is to apply a really top quality Screen Protector. I have a screen protector on my Motorola Milestone and I am really glad that Ive done that.
So, don't trust always the adverts.
I use the matte screen protector from hong kong for like 20cent price and it is virtually without any scratches.
Also it is great because it doesn't attract fingerprints and is easier to swipe upon.
Strongly recommended!

Not me. I will never buy a screen protector. All my phones never had one but all of them looks good as new. If you put your phone in your pocket, Never put anything else and it will be fine.
well i use quite cheap screen protector since a few months, before that, nothing happend to my screen either, but i thought it could be good to make sure it stays like that.
c'mon nothing is indestructible.
I used a screen protector religiously on my old Nokia phone, but my Milestone gets beat up every day with no protector and still looks good. At this point, I would consider Gorilla Glass a plus on the spec sheet, but not necessarily a guarantee that the screen is indestructible. Can't hurt, though.
My phone have for some reason only mini scratches, you can only see them with the right light angle, for somehow it cant get big scratches, I tried on a corner ofcourse
Gorilla Glass
I think gorilla glass is a joke. The first day I had my Motorola Photon, I dropped it and the screen broke in a hundred pieces. Had to get a new one and I promised myself I would be careful.. Didn't install a screen saver because I thought the glass would be like a ceramic crystal on a watch. Well, after three scratches on my glass, I decided to put a screen saver on. AS far as I'm concerned gorilla glass only has one good property. That is it's name. For corning to put their name on this product is a joke. Steve
yep, gorilla glass is marketing joke. use matte screen protectors

[Q] Do i really need a screen protector?

Im super, super careful with my phones and i did carry my Nexus One with case but without a screen protector.
why? because i knew that accidents happen and a good looking case will help in case i drop my phone.
now, talking about screen protectors, i really dont like them.
takes away the beauty of the screen specially S screen.
i never got a scratch on my nexus one, carry the phone is my pocket by itself or on my bag when going to work.
can u guys tell me if im safe not using a screen protector.
This is not the nexus one, there our people that got their phone's screen scratch by staring at it.
get a screen protector - clarivue is what im using, no orange peel nor touch issues. Screen looks great! couldn't notice a difference with the naked glass.
(Had also the cheap ones from ebay - yaak!)
I don't think anyone has reported that they scratch their screen YET. The battery cover is a different story tho....
IMO, I would not want to use screen protector. I have used my Hero for over a year without screen protector. Due to it's chin, it never touch the surface. The screen is coated to reduce finger prints (though it does not eliminate finger prints totally it is still pretty good compare to my friends' i phones with screen protector) and since it is curve screen it should not touch the surface when you drag on the table, face down just like my current hero. My nexus S will be arriving in a few days and I don't inted to get one.
+1 for clarivue, you forget it's on your phone after a while.
The Nexus S screen scratches as easily as any other screen, Gorilla Glass or not. If you thought you were safe with the Nexus One, don't buy one for the Nexus S.
It is not the screen that scratches while you look at it, it is the battery cover. So I would recommend a case, but you were already going to buy one I see.
If you really want a screen protector, go with a super clear one like Clarivue or Seidio. But I won't buy one. It is glass after all, and the anti-smudge layer won't work when you have a screen protector, of course.

Quoted for truth.
Recommend you guys read about the oleophobic coating... I'm sure the glass is quite scratch resistant but the coating seems to be easily worn off:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902132
Pics on page 2 and 3. I've seen this first hand with my first Nexus S. I've since exchanged and my new one hasn't shown this problem so it might have been a defect from the factory since I don't actually know if mine wore off while I had it or if it was like that the whole time and I just noticed it later.

Well the guy who started the topic and exchange his Nexus S three times
was using rubbing alcohol to clean the screen.
i dont know what other chemical he used.
personally I think screen protectors are one of the biggest scams in the cell phone industry

Lol, why would you clean your phone with alcohol or any other chemical, when there is an oleophobic coating on the display? I mean, that's the purpose of the oleophobic coating, right? It is there so you don't need to use chemicals to clean your display...
I don't like to use any case for my phone. I have not been using any case for 3-4 previous phones. Normally the back of the screen start to scarch due to vibration. I never put my phone into vibration when I place it on hard surface. I never put my phone together with other object such as key or coins in same pocket. The only time I use vibration when the phone is in pocket.
Some time I even joke to my friends that hero does not need screen protector because it has built in screen protection (chin that make screen never touch the surface) and even drag it on the table. My NS is arriving in a few days time. I don't think I'll be using any screen protector.
When I bought my Epic 4G a few months ago, I got talked into getting one of the screen protectors they sell at the Sprint Store. I hated it. It made the screen look dull and made it feel not right to touch. I took it off and decided never to buy another screen protector.
Then, I got my SNS and I got a case for it but I was amazed how quickly the screen accumulated fingerprints. I broke down and got Ghost Armor and now, I don't even use the case I bought for it. I love it. The phone feels so great naked and I love it.
The case with the coating coming off isn't necessarily due to using chemicals. If that were the case, the whole screen would've been affected, not just those few spots that were pictured.
My first NS had similar spots being affected and I never used anything on the screen other than a microfiber cloth.

Skinomi Screen Protector

When I first bought this screen protector I was kind of worried that it was one that had a wet application. I havent had too much luck when I tried them years ago on my Motorola Razr. Now, I have owned dozens and dozens of different phones and have put on many screen protectors in my time and I must say this was the simplest and the least frustrating one I ever put on! I'm very OCD about air bubbles/ being straight and not peeling at the edges and if there are any I pull it up and replace it, or if I put it on I always never get it to be straight the first time I apply it and have to take it off and start over, which makes the screen protector less sticky and then also tends to dust getting in it and the edge you peeled it off from not sticking right ever again.. come on we all know we have had this stuff happen.. Actually when I buy a cheap screen protector I always by two because I know I will end up messing up the first one...
With the Skinomi It went on ONE time.. Since it's a wet application it was easy to adjust and straighten out without having to pull off the screen protector. I did apply a little extra solution for this reason so I could slide it around easier. So this is the first time I have EVER installed a screen protector and have it be prefect the first time! Not a SINGLE air bubble! I put it on and it was more over to the right side then the left, I was easily able to slide it over and center it correctly.. This screen protector looks 1000 times better than the one I had that came with my otter box commuter case for my Dell Streak. That one had tons of air bubbles(drove me nuts) and dust started to get under the corners
I LOVE THIS Screen protector so much I just ordered it for my Mytouch 4g phone!!! I would suggest getting one of these for sure!
edit: forgot to also mention it comes with free lifetime replacement and it's reusable so if it even does get dirty or start to come off it's easy to wash and reapply not like the ones that have the sticky stuff on the back
Are screen protectors really necessary with Gorilla Glass? I've never bothered with my OG Droid. I figured, if something is abrasive enough to scratch the Gorilla Glass, it'll be abrasive enough to cut through a screen protector.

a grain of sand that gets run across a screen would Fu** it up, maybe not as much with GG as non GG but it seems sand is also an enemy of GG. I had a non GG phone with a screen protector on it and I was at the beach and some sand scraped across my screen. It scratched the screen protector(pretty badly) but not the actual screen. So in this case I do think sand or something like that would be abrasive enough to scratch the screen(again maybe not as bad with GG but there still would be SOME scratches) but not abrasive enough to go though the screen protector to the screen
Since the DS7 is "Gorilla Glass" I did not put any screen protector, regrettably I found a scratch on the screen, I am SUPER careful with my gadget, I have it in my laptop case with nothing else next to it all the time. guys put screen protector, gorilla glass is BS.
I have the Dell Venue Pro (along with the Dell Streak 7). The day after I received the Dell Venue Pro, I dropped it on the hard wood floor. It did not break or anything. I was really surprised.
I bought the Skinomi Screen Protector for the Venue Pro, and I was also afraid I would have a difficult time (two Akitas) but it was very easy to put on.
I actually just put the one on for the Dell Streak 7 after reading this (I had already taken it out of the tube and flattened it). It looks pretty good - and from my understanding, they provide lifetime replacements.
I did have to call them because I ordered the wrong one (I ordered through Amazon and the title only said Dell Streak and it was for the 5). Skinomi answered the phone quickly and it was very easy to return.
In terms of resisting scratches, I'd say Skinomi isn't worthy to be called a "screen protector." There is a difference between a product that just makes your screen look "glossy", and a product that makes your screen look glossy in addition to protecting from scratch marks. Skinomi is in the former.
In situations of accidental slips, falls, drops or contact with a hard object, I would prefer Gadgetshieldz around my phone than Skinomi. Some mistakes have happened with the use of Skinomi around my phone, and that's when I realized that for all the glossy look that the product gave my screen, it wasn't even able to resist against scratches, which is the main reason why I got it in the first place.
And isn't that why people get these things in the first place? To protect against scratches, right? Not ONLY to have the phone look glossy for a minute and let it slide back into it's more worn out state.
And it does make sense: The better the screen protector is at resisting scratch marks, the better it is at keeping the device looking "glossy".
I quit using screen protectors on any of my devices that have glass screens. So far a year later, I've yet to scratch a screen.
The glossy ones are too glossy to see in any light.
The matte ones are too rough.

Do I need to buy a screen protector?

I will have this phone in two weeks. Do I need a clear screen protector? Or does it stay looking relatively good?
I also just got this phone and I think you should get one. Better safe than sorry. As this scree. Isn't gorilla glass so I won't really take my chances. In my old captivate and even my i9000 I had one.
Always a good practice and keeps resale value higher when screen is mint.
i've had it since launch day with no screen protector in my pocket, no scratches, same with my two previous phones none of which had gorilla glass
I vote no screen protector but don't put it in your trouser pocket with a bunch of keys and then sit down - the screen cracks
I don't use a screen protector for the protective qualities, but rather for the antifingerprint features, just makes the device look cleaner, repels glare as well.
You can answer this question yourself. Did you have a screen protector on your previous phone (with glass display)? If not, did you feel safe? If yes, don't buy one for the Nexus S. One screen doesn't scratch faster than another. Gorilla Glass maybe helps a little, but it's there to prevent cracking, not scratches.
Keep in mind that the Nexus S has a curved display. This actually DOES help a lot to prevent scratches, a lot more than Gorilla Glass.
This screen isn't like old ones. Most previous android phones didn't have an oleophobic coating which is far easier to scratch and wear off than the screen itself.
Just take a look at any iPhone 4 that's been used... there will be lots of little micro scratches in the coating but not the actual screen.

I have the full body Zagg one ... i like it..
anything that's going to scratch the screen is probably going to crack it. Although it's not gorilla glass it's pretty tough. i've dropped my phone numerous times face-first, and thanks to the curved display, not one scratch....
however the back is another story. I have numerous large scratches on it... so if you need any protection get a cover. don't worry so much about the screen. i hate those plastic coatings anyway....
well...
I personally like a SP just because, hey, you just dropped some $ on a relatively pricey piece of equipment.
also it depends, do you have one of those nifty belt carrier thingys??? or do you rock it in the pocket, personally my phone stays in my pocket (I should really look into one of those nice padded carriers lol) Its all preference and just how hard on that phone youre gunna be man.
Thanks for all the feedback. I only carry my phone in my pocket. I hate those enclosed cases as aesthetics are important to me too and the cases always make it look clumps. I have never had a clear screen protector before and don't think I'll have one now. Thanks again!
Like most of the people told, I was against a screen proctector. But after using the NS for 1 week, I have noticed 3-4 round oily marks on the screen which I was not able to remove. Then I had to go and replace the handset and had the screen guard purchased right away.
I usually use a screen protector on any phone for:
1. Peace of mind
2. Fingers seem to glide on them easier than bare glass.

Really - oily stains that wouldn't come out? Has anyone else had that issue?
I have a HTC hero I've had a year, no idea what type of screen it is. Aside from finger prints on the screen, thats all that ever happened to it. No scratches or anything!
I did get one but took it off after a while.
Sine the screen has anti fingerprints and is A LOT smoother without a "protector" I choose to take the risk of getting it scratched.
I thought like this. If I have a protector and it gets scratched I still be walking around with a phone with scratches, unless I change me protector shield. But yeah if you get a good protector Shield, I suppose my argument is not valid. Anyways get 2 if you find anything decent !
just got my phantom skinz in the mail for my new nexus s 4g. cannot wait to actually use the phone when i get it this week.
