If you keep the screen protector on too long it will F*CK your screen up. That's why they give you three. I'd suggest keeping them and changing at least every 4 months.
I left a screen protector on my Dare for its entire 2 years and the screen came off with the protector.... Be carful

Hey it's nice of you to put these up for free but are these necessary with the gorilla glass?

The Dare also had a thin plastic screen over a resistive touchscreen, not a glass screen like newer touchscreen devices. I had a screen protector on it for two years, as you did, and it was fine.

Hey guys,
When I got my phone I got a pack of three screen protectors with it. I put one on mine and now I'm left with two more that I'm sure I'll never use. I noticed that there are a lot of people on here looking for screen protectors.
So if anyone wants them, shoot me a PM with your address (Continental US ONLY) and I'll respond with my paypal - all I'm asking is a few dollars to cover shipping.
If this needs to be moved, I will be happy to oblige -- just thought this would be the best spot to give these away. Also, whenever they are shipped out I'll delete this thread; no need to have it on this board any longer than necessary.

I'd love to have one of these as I've never used one!
if you haven't found people yet I'm going to PM you my email address now

@LOL!!
Yes, believe me, they are. I used my SGS a month without a screen protector. After I noticed a small scratch on the screen I bought immediately a few protectors + case. It is gorilla glass, but it's not indestructible... my headphones where enough to get it a scratch, even if it's a small one - no more risking.

[Help] Annoying screen protector

Hello everyone. I've got this screen protector of the ebay, and it works fine. But there is one negative - It refuses to stick on the edges no matter what I do.
Here is a photo:

What can I do to make it stick?

I wonder whether those are artifacts/irregularities on protection screens or screen itself. I had "spots" in weird places on Wildfire that wouldn't go away.
I figure either live with it or try other screen protector. Especially different brand.

You should try some other screen protectors. The screen protector I use is doing a great job. I'm sure you will find one too.

You'd better buy a new one

How many people use screen protectors? Any like Gorilla Glass?

So I've had my HTC One X for a few months now and the minute I took it out of the box I put a screen protector on it, not wanting to get fingerprints on it before I put it on. I put it really well, and I kept it like that for a while til I got really fed up with the texture of the screen protector. I just took it off two days ago and it feels so much better! There really is nothing like gorilla glass. But I'm really paranoid about it and don't want it to get scratched, so I was wondering how many people use screen protectors on their HTC one Xs and how has that faired you, and also are there any screen protectors that feel just like gorilla glass?

I don't use a screen protector. Not yet. So far over 30 scraches and counting. The first few scratches were understandable (who would have guessed a pair of keys would rape the **** out of my display?) If it's the oleophobic coating that's being scratched then this is just ridiculous. he rest popped out of nowhere through normal use.

I think some OneXs just came out of a bad batch. My first OneX scratched way too easily, this second one I got (first started developing yellow spots) haven't gotten any scratches at all.

How long have you had your second one for? And do you use a case?

See what I mean? It's not the first time i read about people's screens not being prone to scratches after getting a new handset. Even my friend who owns the one x has not got one single scratch. I'm starting to really get pissed off at htc.

Honestly I know how you feel. I've been disappointed a couple of times with my One X since I got it, in fact I only started being satisfied with it at all once I got rid of Sense. Hardware-wise, though, yeah it could be better, battery life and colors, even. I just hope that mine isn't one of the ones prone to scratches... I really can't afford another one right now, and I would totally buy one anyways @[email protected]

I never used a screen protector on my one x and i have it pretty much since it was released. Don't have a single scratch on my screen yet, the trick is to be careful and not putting the phone and the keys in the same pocket.

Now that does make me feel better.

I use an Invisible Shield HD, and its near impossible to tell anything is on the phone. Only in direct sunlight is it visible, and that is only the edges that can be seen, only slightly. I also had 3 scratches on the screen, and they can't be seen anymore.

So protectors help hide the scratches?

Yeah I agree, no scratches on mine, BECAUSE I LOOK AFTER IT
I don't do stupid things like putting it in a pocket with other stuff and then wonder why it's scratched? That's like cleaning your car with a stone and then saying it's more prone to scratches than everyone else's car.

I used my HTC sensation for 11 months with no screen protector and didn't have one scratch on it.
My HOX however I put a zagg screen protector on it straight away. I want to keep it in good condition for resale value in the future.
Apparently zagg have brought out a HD screen protector that doesn't have the orange peel touch effect, I'm searching everywhere but can't find these in the UK at the moment even though you can buy them from the zagg.com

Had my One X for 3 months and I've never had a screen protector on it or a case and it has no marks on it at all, just gets a little dirty cause I'm a mechanic.

Famous last words!...
I use a case (jelly) but not screen protector. I used a screen protector for about a month on my old desire hd and it was horrible. AND I forked out for an expensive one. Ruins the display and feels clammy to swype on. If you're careful, the screen doesn't get scratched really anyway, imo. It won't stop the screen cracking if you do drop it awkwardly either, which to me is the main worry.
Conclusion: If you bought your phone to enjoy it, don't get a screen protector 'cause they're horrible, if you didn't buy it to enjoy it, sell it and get yourself an old 3310.

My one x is full of microscratches (the ones you can only see tilting your phone in direct sunlight).
I'm EXTRA careful with my phones, and I've never had this problem before with my other htc phones (diamond, diamond 2, HD2, DesireHD, Sensation) some people say it's the coating or whatever, there's even an online petition to ask htc to solve this problem.
Use a screen protector! This phone is extra sensible to microscratches, you've been warned.

I have an invisible shield and highly recommend getting one.

Using a Brando UltraClear screen protector, it's simply unbeatable. And yes, I did try Zagg's, Martin's, etc..

I work in a though enviroment from time to time so i don't wanna take any chances.
I use bestskinsever.com Best screenprotector I've ever had, and its much cheaper then the once from Zagg.com
Best Skins Ever are the bomb

remove hairline scratches

This may seem like a dumb question and i have seen mixed results and various methods. I just bought a used GNex and didn't look at the screen close enough (deal was at night). The scratches are very thin and can only be seen in direct light, you have to look for the scratch most of the scratches expect one. Not noticeable with the screen on, they are very very thin.
Since its very minor it not to bad, but wondering if there is a way to "fill" it in with something. I have heard of Displex, Brasso, toothpaste, Banana and Banana Skin etc all claim to work on touchscreens. But this is an AMOLED screen and is made of glass as we all know.
I know toothpaste can be used on cars, headlights and CD's and actually have used it in the past. But never on a glass touchscreen.
Do you think any method would work?
I'm inclined to try toothpaste, but i heard the screen has a protective coding that will be removed from the screen if toothpaste is used.
The other idea I had which seems dumb is to use Zagg's solution and see many it will fill it in?
PS Yes I know the screen protect will work, but don't want to hide the scratches but rather fix them.

just live with them, end of story

There is no way to "fix" a scratch. It's an actual piece of glass missing. All that could be done would be to wear the entire screen down to that level, which is what the so called repair kits do. For obvious reasons you don't want to wear down the GNex screen.

Yea,there's nothing to do to fix it.you can hide it,but not fix it. You can on non touch screen gadgets,but not on SAMOLED.toothpaste wouldnt work,banana would just make your screen mute,and you for shure cannot brush it out with sandpaper then polish it. Live with it,believe me,99% of us in the Gnex forum have them,i wanted to cry when i noticed it,but its just not worthy. You will forget about it in a few days.

Mine has a tiny one on the lower left hand side of the screen, and it rarely bugs me anymore. You can only see it from certain angles. And trust me, I'm a freak about this stuff.

I have some of these. Because you actually have to look for them to see them I don't mind at all. If I could see them with the screen on then I'd be *****ing.

I'm just mad i didn't check the phone enough when I bought it, trusted the guy when he said it has no scratches. Well I'm not going to be using it. Its for my momma, paid $200 CAD which was alright.
The scratches are noticeable with the screen off in regular light, but not with the screen on.

If you want to use a screen protector, the wet apply ones fill in the scratch and make it harder to see.

I've heard that GhostArmour is less rubbery and there's another brand called *exoskin*(not 100% sure of the name) I think which also makes a wet apply screen protector that's better then zagg.

I recently purchased xoskin and it works quite well. Can't see the scratch on my screen at all. Watch their YouTube video.

Yeah generally the Wet screen protectors will "fill" in micro scratches. If im not mistaken xoskin gives a lifetime warranty as well right?

Check on YouTube there are very good tutorials

I'd recommend iShieldz screen protector. It lasts a long time, and is very stable. I had mine on my phone for 6 months before I took it off.

Will these screen protectors reduce the sensitivity of your screen to the touch?

Yes, they do, at first. But, only by a little. The sensitivity returns as you use your phone. I put one on in March and its as sensitive as none at all now.

i cant find screen protector for One V, I had to cut one from Galaxy s3 just to make it fit in the screen.

I've tried screen protectors in the past but never liked how they felt and realized that I can buy a replacement screen on ebay for a little over $10. With some of the tiny torx screwdrivers I invested in (home depot had them for $10), I can replace my screen if I feel it gets bad (youtube videos can show you how to take it apart). That is my solution. The added bonus is that if you break your screen, you have the stuff to replace it.
