That sucks, a damn bad download causing all those issues! Glad you got it though, take care.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r916:
Yeah tell me about it, Ive never had that red arrow issue so I was like WTF.

But thanks to everyone who replied, I'm limited to how many times I can 'thank' but I did as many as I could :)
[HTC Sensation] nednapalm:
Wonder how these are going to work with the bevelled screen on this one?
[HTC Sensation] ardsar:
The screen is gorilla glass - no need for screen protectors.
[HTC Sensation] X46X:
This is lie, GorillaGlass is scratchable (is this word right? :D) too..
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Not easily scratched.

The screen protector takes away from the beautiful viewing of the screen and (I don't care what anyone says) lessens the touch screen responsiveness.

I had a screen protector on my HD2 for a while, and have not been happier since removing it. And I've had Invisibleshield, BodyGuardz and BSG. They all lessen the experience. Since removing the screen protector on my HD2, I have not had a single scratch. And that's after 3 months or less with the screen protector on and 9 months or more with it off.

[YOUTUBE]NcEaehKWr2s[/YOUTUBE]

And what the HD2 has is not as good as what the Sensation will have in Gorilla Glass.

[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
Don't use lame screen protectors man...

I used them on my HD2 like Darnell_Chat_TN for like 3months. Now almost 8 months later I still have 0 scratches on my naked HD2. You just need to look out if you put it in your pocket with keys etc.
[HTC Sensation] ddgarcia05:
I've got a Thunderbolt which is said to have gorilla glass, but some users are still reporting the glass to be getting scratched. There are some very clear screen protectors which you wont even notice on. I recommend you place a screen protector on. Realook is what I've got on mine.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Well I never knew it, but the HTC HD2 does have Gorilla Glass. No wonder the screen is so strong.

No screen protector for me and loving it :D . Now I know I won't use one on the Sensation after seeing the difference with my HD2!
[HTC Sensation] kampf:
I think the screen protector on my G2x is one reason I didn't see the brilliance of the IPS/LED screen as much as it was hyped. Had one on my Nexus One before I had the screen replaced for the first time (dust, still a problem).

My wife's Nexus One has endured a LOT of purse-abuse and doesn't really show it. It's amazing how people can scratch these modern screens in daily use.
[HTC Sensation] dannymanno:
look in this thread at the screen protectors link. i couldnt link directly as i dont have enough posts.

I am one of the people who likes to be extra careful. Besides, I've seen various types of damage inflicted on the supposedly scratchproof Gorilla Glass, and I just don't buy into the claims made by the company. More durable than conventional glass? Sure it is. Indestructible? Definitely not.

I'll definitely be slapping a screen protector on my Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] jivemaster:
+1 for a protector. I am over protective of my devices and it shows. I take the case and screen screen protector off and it's practically brand new.

I take such good care of my stuff that I have a regular clientele of friends and family who buy my old phones off me, because they tell me it's like buying the phone new.

Shouldn't be calling people lame for wanting to protect their stuff. Not everyone on these forums upgrades their phone every 6 months. ;)
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Has anyone got a screen protector on their Sensation? I'm just wondering if the bevelled screen effects it.
[HTC Sensation] craigkahn:
I use the Boxwave ClearTouch Crystal screen protector on my HD2. I tried about 4 other brands and the Boxwave works best for me. Screen is almost as vibrant with the screen protector as it is without one and the touch sensitivity is fine. It also seemed to be easier to install than the other protectors I tried.
[HTC Sensation] lilchip85:
I had my nexus one for a year without a screen protector as well and no scratches what so ever. I used my wifes phone that has a screen protector and I don't like it at all. So no screen protectors for me for this one.

I can't wait for this phone to be released!
[HTC Sensation] Axxess:
Gorilla Glass is not 100% scratchproof ( Proven on my HD2)

well It is really hard to brake.

You can consider buying a nice sleeve for your phone .

It is in my opinion a better solution

What I mean : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql37A-SgA3A

There is really no need for a screen protector. Care for your phone. It after all a remarkable peace of technology. Not just a toy.

Although I f you want a toy just get a Samsung.

100% Genuine plastic toy feeling.
[HTC Sensation] agent.m:
bought a gel case with screen protector. the screen protector didnt fit. shame as the case is perfect. managed to drop phone on floor by accident outside. not a mark on the screen. will still get screen protector though.
[HTC Sensation] Kevinik:
That list says my G2 has Gorilla Glass too. It was a strong screen but it did get a small scratch. So I bought a [URL="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004763E9M]Realook Premium Screen Protector[/URL] it is truly crystal clear and responsive.
[HTC Sensation] everyday48:
Same here, screen film also doesn't fit.
[HTC Sensation] chenga28:
I bought the HTC screen film however the sides around the screen as its kinda lipped up would not apply correctly (bubbled up). Remove this after a few days and found a desire protector, applied it successfully, however obviously its a bit short. bought a case from ebay and it came with a protector, which covers the screen but does not go all the way to the edge, stuck on well and no apparent "bubbles". its ok quality. case is ok silicon case
[HTC Sensation] mmeyer4663:
The other thing I like about the screen protector I have on my HD2 (Hence my preference for screen protectors, is that the matte finish cut down the reflections on the reflective screen. That and I'm a klutz!
[HTC Sensation] Kelkie:
Yes, I have one... and no it doesn't affect it. The protector molded itself to the screen, edge to edge, and looks great (for a 2 for $4.00 one off of ebay). I can't afford to pay $549 for a phone, and not protect the investment.
[HTC Sensation] Kelkie:
I bought Stealth Sheildz from ebay... they are cheap...like 2 for $4-something, but they fit the phone perfectly (after I realized that the top and bottom of phone are slightly different sizes, and turned the protector accordingly). I am happy with it for now.
[HTC Sensation] epsilon212:
What leather holster did you buy?
[HTC Sensation] Mr3G:
Expansys had finally restocked with HTC screen protector, just got a notice that it has been shipped.

Have any of you guys tried SGP Screen Protector? http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...dible-shield-series-lcd-screen-film-only.html
[HTC Sensation] c19932:
I have that. In terms of clarity it is fine. It also covers the entire screen. However since its one of those wet applied protectors, u do see a little orange peel affect, especially when the screen is all white
[HTC Sensation] D200P13:
while i have used my phone while on vacation i got the screens protector really scratched using the t-mobiles official screen protector. while on the road i won a free full body kit from zagg. i was already planning to buy the full body kit while i was on vacation so just used the tmobiles version as a temporary i had to wait till i got home to install it saving my money and not wanting to pay for something i had won for free. i love the zagg products and have seen many more ghost armor products in actual malls including installations on your phone. the full body protectors mean they protect most of the phones full body except for small parts like around buttons and ports. anyway, i have noticed a very tiny scratch on the edge of the screen and knew the scratch would jump on the screen but it didnt! the tmobiles screen protector does not protect the black edges of the screen but i have not seen any scratches on that and when i first installed it i thought it would get terrible scratches. so far im loving this screen! i havnt installed the full body screen protector from zagg but it looks bigger then tmobiles so i hope it covers the whole screen including the black edge around it that has glass on it. might post pictures later!
[HTC Sensation] StefanB86:
Thanks for the review, man!

I have been waiting for a good dry application screen protector, something like Realook (I had it on my Vibrant, loved it) but I think those are a bit harder on these screens for the curved glass... I'll keep looking around and see what comes around.
[HTC Sensation] splbound:
Same here.. Screen protector was a totaly different shape to the phone :confused:.

Case fit fine but it blocks some gps signal :eek:
[HTC Sensation] agent.m:
Go another one send and it's pants. My wife's best friend has a desire hd. Might just give it to her instead. Think the case I bought was for a desire hd. Got some more on order from Germany hopefully they are better and they the right size.
[HTC Sensation] {LCD}Stelios:
If the car kit was designed for the Sensation why is the power button covered?
[HTC Sensation] agent.m:
Gorilla glass is scratchable. bit annoyed as i noticed a scratch after i dropped it last week. although it even though its a tiny scratch...guess im more annoyed that the screen protectors given werent the right size. anyone got a proper screen protector yet?? that fits?? might nick one of my wifes galaxy s protectors if i can find it.
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
Yeah Gorilla Glass in not indestructible, my HD2 has a couple scratches. I'm still on the fence if I will use it on the Sensation or not.
[HTC Sensation] agent.m:
well i finally got my new screen protectors and they arent the 3 layer quality ones but they are better than none at all. still getting air bubbles out. good fit as well.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
pics? does the bevelled edges not affect it?
[HTC Sensation] agent.m:
only slightly as it doesnt fully stick. took a day to get red of the bubbles but you get what you pay for and the screen is clear. will post picture tonight

My pre-ordered official HTC screen protectors got dispatched today. Will report back as soon as they are delivered, especially about the bevelled edge.

here is ebay link.

quite fast considering its coming from Germany.

No. Those ones are usually clear ones this is on a white sheet that you peel back

[HTC Sensation] ChrisAC84:
I called in to T-Mobile this morning, and they had no idea when the Sensation was being released. Odd, I thought, since the Walmart near me had them in stock yesterday. So I went to the Walmart, and managed to get mine for 148. A steal I thought. It is so beautiful, I am still on the fence about a screen protector lol

If you can get one for real cheap then id advise one even for keeping smudges off the screen. The ones I got at the moment are tempary as i've ordered some others. Theres some crazy pricing on ebay £100 for for a pack of screen protectors is mad.
[HTC Sensation] fazerrider:
I heard the story of scratch-proof gorilla glass. And fell for it. Well, try a bunch of keys in your jeanspocket AND your HD2. Walk around for an hour. Scratches Guaranteed!! Need proof??
[HTC Sensation] quahog_convo:
The screen scratches are definitely something that I'm honestly a bit worried about as the screen protector from my N1 definitely shows some scratches, but I think it's simply because the screen protector won't be as strong as glass.

What I'm really kinda missing is the anti-glare from my N1's screen protector... but the screen is oh so very sexy on the Sensation, hahaha. Decisions, decisions.
[HTC Sensation] jetjockgordo:
I found a TMoUS store that was willing to sell some accessories before the launch date so I bought the 2 pack of screen protectors and the Body Glove Shell with belt clip. I did look at the Gel case and it was very, very nice if a little thick but beautiful.

As for the screen protector, I am on the fence with whether I like it or not. It is a very thin film that appears not to change the look of the display and seems to have a similar feel of the glass. It was cut to fit just inside the bevels so, if aligned properly, it fits very nicely. Since it is a thin film it was a pain to get on bubble free but they could be worked out with some patience (leave outer protective film on to do that!) The end result is completely bubble free but a finish that is just a glossy as the glass that is also NOT smear resistant as some other OEM films I have used in the past. It does seem to be very clear though.

The Body Glove shell is also very nice with perfect fit but I will be damned how to get it off!! It comes as two pieces with the top piece a hard glossy plastic that is clipped to the base piece that is covered in the highly textured rubber coating typical of other BG products. The top shell was made to look like the beveled glass display and looks sharp. The belt clip is decent with the built-in stand but there is no tactile feedback that the case locked in place without a little test tug. I do like that they put the push-button release on the bottom of the clip so a little muffin top action won't accidentally release the phone when you bend over.

TMoUS stores will give a 30% discount when purchasing ANY three, or more, accessories.

Gel case 9/10

BG case with clip 9/10 for the case and 6/10 for the clip.

Screen protector 7/10 (a little trickier than normal to apply)

Screen Protector

Hello

I just order this one from E-Bay looks ok, when it comes and I put on will let you know how good.

Still looking for a case,I like the rubber ones they dont slip and slide out of front pocket so easy.

I just bought these from Amazon. 7.99

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0050PWUYY

I always bought cheapies for my N1, and had no issues. These I'm not sure about but I'll pop back in with my impressions.
[HTC Sensation] agent.m:
Disappointed. I ordered a set of screen protectors and they came back the wrong size. Like the previous one I got on with my silicone case. On a lighter note I released whist filming an unboxing vid will probably still upload the vid. Gonna go into town see if Vodafone have some and get a refund off for these.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
bestskinsever.com skins remail reply

I received an email from them last night indicating that they plan on making the skins/screen protectors in a few weeks and they'll notify me once it's in stock. I currently have one of these on my N1 and love it. Way better than the Zagg ones.
[HTC Sensation] Macklessdaddy:
see that slot on the side that you wondered what it was for,it's a coin slot,use a quarter and bingo you are in but beware as the case has left permanent impressions around the cutouts on the back of my phone
[HTC Sensation] Pneumatic:
I still have the Realook on my vibrant ( which I passed on to my wife) and it looks as perfect as the day I put it on, which was shortly after I got the phone on release day. I haven't taken any precautions (in pocket with keys, backpacks on hikes, dropping it on concrete, etc.). I love not having to worry about it.

I will be careful with my Sensation until they release a Realook for it.
[HTC Sensation] StefanB86:
I'm on the same boat. I still have it on my Vibrant and after trying a lot of screen protectors on the market, I could say that Realook it's the winner of them all.

Do you know if they actually have plans on releasing it for the Sensation?
[HTC Sensation] teftar:
Hi guys planning to get my HTC Sensation later this month so what kind of screen protectors to go for clear screen or mirror.Pls advice guys.

btw this is my first post in the forum so hi guys. Loved the xda noob video at the registration page. :)
[HTC Sensation] Pneumatic:
I haven't researched it yet. I am just assuming that they will come out with one soon. I tried several on my Vibrant and have come to the conclusion that if it isn't Realook I don't want it.
[HTC Sensation] StefanB86:
I just emailed them, will post back when I get a response ;)
[HTC Sensation] vvilliamm:
i heard that sgp makes great screen protectors similar quality to the iphone powersupport ones.
[HTC Sensation] danog:
I bought phantom skinz for my HD2 after scratching it, being way careful and never dropping it didnt prevent a nasty scratch.

That said, my HD2 was replaced by TMO soon after and I've been too lazy to install the 2nd/free phantom skinz on my new HD2 and the screen is still perfect.

But I know my S4G will get scratched sometime, question is will it be the screen protector that is scratched or will it be the gorilla screen itself that is permanently damaged the moment before I finally decide to order a skin for my S4G :eek:

My vote is dont torture yourself with a cheap screen protector that makes using your phone a pain in the butt. Also dont waste extra coinage on zagg and overpriced equivalents. Phantom Skinz got great reviews and price was good ($15 for 2 I tihnk?) but they dont have any for S4G yet. Im not pimping that one mfg and I'm totally willing to buy an equivalent and look forward to more reviews as more become available.
[HTC Sensation] Patrick@sw:
What about heating the screen protectors with a hairdryer on both sides? Maybe it helpes sth. :)
[HTC Sensation] StefanB86:
Well, I received a response from Realook today and this is the answer for the ones interested:

Dear Stefan,

I'm glad to hear you have enjoyed the film on your Vibrant.

I apologize as we are not currently selling film for the HTC Sensation 4G. Please check our amazon and ebay stores in a couple of weeks.

Sincerely,

Elliot

[HTC Sensation] Profondo_Rosso:
Well I received the screen protectors linked above. they're okay. Theres about an1/8" gap all around it so it's a bit small but it does the job. it's not rubbery and doesn't really effect swiping movement that I can tell. I'd say they were worth the $8, but far from perfect

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4g with extreme prejudice
[HTC Sensation] jmcdonald58:
Agreed Had the Hd2 for 14 months not 1 scratch on it screen protectors take away from the view imo
[HTC Sensation] iunlock:
I agree.

It does lessen the touch screen responsiveness and that is a FACT.

Most may not notice it with quality screen protectors, but with the other crappy ones you can tell a difference. Especially those stupid orange peel rubber ones...omg how retarded and a waste of enjoying the true experience of the glass...
[HTC Sensation] crisisinthecity:
I bet if you look closer you will find something. My HD2 hasn't had a screen protector on it since I got my last warranty replacement 5 months ago. There is a tiny scratch on the screen. Its not deep and barely noticeable. But. The phones look and feel a lot better without a protector so I understand why no one wants a protector.

I have the T-Mobile one on my sensation. Its got bubbles. I don't love it.

I may decide to go bare on the screen. Maybe with the curved edges it will be harder for survaces to come in contact with the face.
[HTC Sensation] Wurmzz:
Feels better without protection. ;)
[HTC Sensation] r3awak3n:
I never had a screen protector on my N1 and hadvit since launch day and have 0 scratches in it.

I keep my phone in the pocket alone. I can never put screen protectors in the right way and they always make the screen look crap.
[HTC Sensation] djmaz:
You can get ones that have kind of tapered edges to account for the shape of the screen but they where stupid money and for what they are they where stupid money. They where on ebay. The cheap ones just keep peeling off for me.

Unless I find the tapered ones cheap I'm going to risk it. But seen as my phone is just on my chair in my van while I'm at work, and its exposed to all kinds of dust and dirt and other screen scratching foes, id say this gorilla glass is very tough.

it will cost me around 21-30 ish dollars for one.. depending on my ship method. either.. 1 week - 2.5 months.. lol but i heard good things about them.

right now im going for another reputable brand SGP =] their screen protectors are very similar to power supports crystal clear screen protectors.

even though martin fields screen protector and sgp will cost around the same. i will go with sgp since i will get it sooner and their great also.

Sgp will release the htc sensation crystal clear screen protectors next week i will post ss when it arrives in my hands =]

Skinomi TechSkin - Screen Protector Shield for HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] mommono:
Just stay away from ebayseller cheapgadget

He sells screenprotectors that supposedly fits HTC sensation, they dont. They are too big, and lets in air underneath on all sides.

We have now mailed back and forth many times, and he wont take picures of the screen protectors as "proof" of them not fitting. He basically tells me I am an idiot that cant put them on...

First time in about ten years i havent been able to put on a screen protector...

Last mail from him, just send them back for a full refund of £2.98.

It has to be registered mail, and the cheapest way to do that in Norway cost 130NKr. About £14.50 ..for a "full refund" of £2.98, yeah right...

By the way, the pictures are from the third try to fit the same screen protector....
[HTC Sensation] NICEGYPT:
Mine is a same thing. I tried 3 different ones. All of them have the same issue bubbles on the side and I think this because the screen is not straight. So I just bought a ZAGG the whole shield for 22$ hopefully it works well. I will post a pic when I install it.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I have the skinomi on my gtab and works well. I also have bestskinsever screen protector on my old nexus one and I love it. I tried Zagg and to me it was too grippy for the screen and didn't look as good as the bestskinsever one. Just my .02.
