I actually prefer it like that. Gives me a chance to answer my phone if I'm close by without startling everyone in the room.
[Vibrant General] Emama:
I don't like it at the beginning, but once I feel so annoying hearing full volume of the ringtones in some quiet area, I love this feature now
[Vibrant Accessories] s15274n:
I've always been against SPs. I know they serve their role, but I believe the Vibrant has held up extremely well for me. Regardless, seeing so many complimentary posts I decided to split the costs with another XDA user and give it a whirl.

Boy am I glad I did. The SP is not visible AT ALL. No bubbles, no change that I can tell in screen clarity, the feel is almost the exact same to my touch, and best of all.... with the SP + Gorilla I really have no worries at all about my screen. I guess in a worst case scenario the SP could get a scratch? Anyone had any issues with this?

Application was super easy. I opted to use a warm shower for humidity and some scotch tape to help apply.... first time trying was perfect. Never had I been able to apply a SP so easily/perfect.

Also, I use the black TMobile case that came on launch date. With this case, it wraps just slightly around the edge of the phone.... well, this is perfect because even if you could see the SP, this case wraps over it. This is flawless. Nobody would ever guess I had a SP.

Those in limbo or feeling good about the Gorilla... take it from someone who used to vocalize those same sentiments, this SP is worth it. Maybe find someone on XDA to help split the costs with you since it comes in a 2 pack.

If you order, you get:

2 SPs

an alcohol wipe

a microfiber cloth

2 strong adhesive tapes (to lift the SP if you do get dust under it)

2 little plastic pieces to smooth out any bubbles

instructions

I think that's all that came in the box... not bad for $11. O, and I got an email saying I should expect it on the 17th.... well, I got it today (11th). Pretty speedy delivery too!

I realize this sounds like an ad... I am not affiliated with them in any way, just trying to point out my thoughts since I was openly negative about it before.

UPDATE: 10/6/10

I'm still very happy with the SP. HOWEVER, I AM BECOMING VERY ANNOYED BY THE SMEARING/FINGER PRINTS THOUGH. I can clean my screen with a microfiber and instantly it's dirty again. I have dropped some saline on the screen and then cleaned it... immediately becoming dirty again. I think the screen was much better at not showing fingerprints BEFORE adding the SP. Anyone else notice this? Any ideas?
[Vibrant Accessories] rizzxx7:
those things are amazing, I actually took mine off after a couple of weeks because I had a little bubble on the top right corner that wouldn't go away. I washed it and stuck it back on and its still perfect, these things are definitely worth the price
[Vibrant Accessories] dublj:
Yesss, another convert to SP. Glad you did it.

I have one and would not trade it for anything. I would rather be safe with my phone than mess it up and regret for the rest of the time that I have it.

Enjoy.
[Vibrant Accessories] disturkis4u:
Yes it's awesome but I did manage to scratch the screen protector itself somehow =( that's why I split it with you lol. I'm glad you got it already tho.
[Vibrant Accessories] disturkis4u:
Did you notice the tiny pieces? You know those are for the cameras lens right? (i think lol it fits perfectly so I thought that's what it is for)
[Vibrant Accessories] KerryG:
I agree that it is virtually invisible when on but try as I might I cant get it to go on cleanly. I finally gave up and live with two bubble. Thankfully they arent in the primary display area.
[Vibrant Accessories] samlot:
Oh Realook is definitely better. I first tried the T-mobil SP and noticed a big difference once i tried the Realook. Although my experience was not perfect with Realook, i did have a bubble around the speaker which i can't remove.. I haven't applied the 2nd one, i tried re-using the same one but i got the same results..even after i re-cleaned that area. Having said that, I would still recommend this SP as well
[Vibrant Accessories] speoples20:
I love realook, they are amazing. I was showing my phone to a customer and they asked why I didn't use a SP. I told them I was using a SP but they didn't believe me. :D I took my case off and showed them the edge of the SP and they finally believed me.
[Vibrant Accessories] Jeffizcool:
Yes its good.I just wish it would not attract finger prints as much.oh well small issue to deal with. I had the t mobile one and it made the screen crappy.
[Vibrant Accessories] Inat:
If the bubbles are on an edge that means it's not centered properly. Anywhere else I would say it's dust.
[Vibrant Accessories] gravis86:
Yep RealLook is awesome. I got it because at the time, Clarivue didn't have one available. But RealLook seems to be the exact same thing so I'm very impressed.
[Vibrant Accessories] dpereda:
I am a Realook Fan now. I had the t-mobile SP and that made the screen look so bad. Having the Realook Sp looks like there is nothing there.
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
im still streaking naked !!!!
[Vibrant Accessories] SamVib:
I had the Realook SP for about half a week now, and I AM LOVING it. It's better than the T-Mobile, and Case-Mate SPs.

It doesn't even look like there's one there. No streaks, fingerprints, smudges, or grease.

When my brother seen the package, he asked if I ever put it on. I told him that there wasn't a SP on, and he believed me. I told him I put on a SP and he said, WOW. He didn't notice it.

It does take a little while to put on, I couldn't get on small bubble off, so I have to live with it.
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
You got a pm.
[Vibrant Accessories] dr150:
Well. I'm not impressed.

Both screens could not adhere properly at the earpiece level. The bubble

would not

go away. (and yes, it was spotless dust-free/clean application).

The adhesive eventually wore off from constant rejiggering and the bubble got bigger....
[Vibrant Accessories] demo23019:
Yea its tricky i actually got pissed and crumpled the first one..

2nd one took some time...like 20 mins of patients but i eventually got it perfect and im loving it i have no issues with earpiece had few specs of dust but got rid with piece of tape.

Also someone stated its doesn't show fingerprints, smudges, or grease...that's not true.

you still see marks all over the screen from your fingers just like you would without a SP.

But doesn't bother me at all. I cant even tell i have SP and coming from crappy invisible shield rubbery SP im %100 satisfied with it.
[Vibrant Accessories] allthrottle:
I just received my RL screen protectors. They look and feel great. I noticed on both installed on our two vibrants the bubble around the earpiece. I worry that it may get bigger with wear, but if that's the only thing I have to worry about, I'll shell out the $11 again for another pair.

My wife has a snap on cover that goes around the earpiece, so I don't think she'll have that problem.
[Vibrant Accessories] demo23019:
I have a trick to get rid of the ear piece probelm but not sure how to explain and if it will even help you

At the ear piece i think the SP plastic dips in slightly causing the not to sit properly.

I used my fingernail and scratched in towards the opening for the earpiece hole untill it was sitting flush and eventually flattened out.

dont worry you cant scratch the SP with your finger nail

LOL i hope i described that so you can understand
[Vibrant Accessories] allthrottle:
Do you just keep scratching it while it's on until it flattens out?
[Vibrant Accessories] kiapolo:
Trying this. I have a little bump (not really a bubble) near the bottom left of the screen, but my hybrid/tpu case covers it.

While cleaning the screen before applying the realook i noticed three scratches on my screen (very thin, from about 1/2 inch to 1/8 of an inch long, didn't even notice until cleaning my screen to apply the SP - testament to the gorilla glass?). After applying the SP I can't see the scratches, at all. Very impressed with this SP. Much better than any SP i've put on any other electronic device I've ever used.
[Vibrant Accessories] chronos7:
I think I'm gonna try this...
[Vibrant Accessories] dr150:
The fingernail technique doesn't work. I tried that. I tried every technique to no avail.

Either they have a bad batch (didn't Realook say they have a "dent issue" very recently with this model--whatever dent means) or it's a potluck with the screen you get for the Vibrant.
[Vibrant Accessories] kiapolo:
Glad to report that the finger nail technique has worked perfectly! well, not absolutely perfectly, there is a really small section that will just not go away, but looking at the phone at 12 inches away, you can't even notice it. Very impressed. I tried the "don't tell your wife that you have a SP on" test and it passed...she had no idea there was any kind of SP on!
[Vibrant Accessories] karmasore:
i discovered that the best way to get rid of the bubble near the earpiece is to simply use my fingernail and running it across the bottom of the ear piece, virtually pushing the air in the bubble towards the left or right of the bottom of the earpiece. at first I thought it was an adhesion issue but it actually was trapped air stuck in there.

i think a lot of people are trying to push the air bubble upwards towards the center of the earpiece but i found better results pushing the air bubble towards the left or the right of the earpiece.

it's so damn hard to explain exactly what i did haha. maybe ill make a quick video later or something.

anyways, i love my realook - i do hate how it interferes with the button sensitivity, however.
[Vibrant Accessories] demo23019:
Yea i hear yea about explaining how to fix.

As for sensitivity im not having any issues at all. I can slightly glide my finger across the bottom and all buttons register.

Stupid question but did you take the front protective piece after you applied the SP
[Vibrant Accessories] demo23019:
Yea i hear yea about explaining how to fix.

As for sensitivity im not having any issues at all. I barely touch screen and slightly glide my finger across the bottom and all buttons register.

Stupid question dont take offense.

but did you take the front protective piece off after you applied the SP
[Vibrant Accessories] karmasore:
Yeah, i removed it. I have my realook on completely mint. My first realook i removed and cut off the bottom so the buttons were not covered but i couldnt handle how ugly it looked. so i put a new one on and im having problems with my homekey again >__<
[Vibrant Accessories] demo23019:
Yea idk mine seems fine

Did u install today?

Maybe just needs time to sit..
[Vibrant Accessories] shardz:
i just got this in the mail from amazon but i dont see the little peices for the camera?

not sure if this was supposed to be included?

also i just put it on. and tested it. the feeling isnt the same but i guess i should let the adhesive heal a bit before i use the touchscreen at all
[Vibrant Accessories] techboydino:
Just wanted to post another +1 for Realook. Took 2 minutes to install and came out absolutely flawless.
[Vibrant Accessories] hurricanes52:
hey would anyone be intrested in splitting a real look SP with me? If me PM me for details and we can work out a payment option.
[Vibrant Accessories] The K-Zoo Kid:
Just got mine :) I honestly can tell no where on the phone that there is a sp, except for around the speaker. And who cares about that :)
[Vibrant Accessories] Steeltippin:
Im so phucking pi$$ed right now. I ordered the Realook SP plus that Hybrid TPU case everybody is tripping out over all yesterday at work. Last night I'm getting out of car and hear something fall to the ground. Not thinking it was my phone I wasn't mad cause I knew it was in my pocket. Look down on the ground and in fact it was my damn phone!!!! Put a small cosmetic scratch that I know I can only see on the screen cause its my phone and put a nice little scratch on the corner of the bezel smh
[Vibrant Accessories] KerryG:
-5 on the RealLook SP's

Despite being ultra careful the first one simply would not go down right, the top right hand corner would not adhere at all. The second one went down ok except for a few edges and one bubble that was off the main screen so I didn't care. This past weekend, it was 107 degrees, the phone was in my pocket, not in the car or on the dashboard and now I have bubbles right in the middle of the screen which are highly annoying and now the other places that weren't perfect before are now worse.

I am actually quite bummed that it did not work well the first two times and even more bummed now that I will have to remove it and probably order more. When its on good it is virtually invisible and does not take away from the quality of the screen, it is certainly a win there but in terms of adhesion and bubbling, I have to call it a fail.
[Vibrant Accessories] rizzxx7:
email them and they'll give you a replacement right away. I received one of those sp's with a messed up corner and got a replacement after I emailed them.
[Vibrant Accessories] cowppl:
How can I be so bad at this? I ordered the RL and I just could not get it to align. I ended up ruining both the protectors. I wanted to go get it done in the mall where they do it for you, but they never had the RL ones. I don't want some cheap one where the screen display is ruined.

I can't believe so many people can do this so easily.

I heard some people got a small protector for the camera as well. I never received one? Any of you guys get one
[Vibrant Accessories] KerryG:
I can't find an email address or even a website. I would have sworn there was one on the box.
[Vibrant Accessories] Xidroid:
I had a problem and got great customer service with a replacement. The dude I spoke to is: yoh at realook.us
[Vibrant Accessories] KerryG:
I tracked them down and got a very quick response. Thanks.
[Vibrant Accessories] azsamsancho:
BTW, for those that are about to buy, there is a promo code you can use to get 10% off:

I just used it and it worked.
[Vibrant Accessories] s15274n:
I made an update to the OP. wanted to mention that the fingerprints seem much worse with the SP, than sans SP.
[Vibrant Accessories] Jeffizcool:
I agree with you. It seems to attract oil from your fingers easily. Still a great sp. Btw if you have a lot of oil/smudges a microfiber cloth doesnt do much good cause it will just spread the oil and not remove it. It is much better to use a damp cloth to completely remove the oil and hence make it clearer for longer. Peace out fools.
[Vibrant Accessories] vamopyros_wrath:
Im using the skinomi SP with carbon fiber back, its easier to put on, and is fingerprint resistant, only thing is its 24.99 and you have to leave your phone off for 12 hours while the included cleaner/application dries. But well worth it, its actually the same themopolymer they put on helicopter blades, and it comes with an unlimited lifetime replacement warranty! If it scratches, they will send a new one. Plus the carbon fiber is super shnazzy.
[Vibrant Accessories] jej428:
Thanks for the recommendation. Great SP but will need a good cleaning about once a week.
[Vibrant Accessories] eortizr:
have a question about the fingerprints... it is really that bad? I mean the naked glass itself attracts finger prints pretty easy... it is much worse with this SP?
[Vibrant Accessories] Xidroid:
Doesn't seem worse than the naked glass to me. With the SP on though I don't worry about rubbing it on whatever shirt I'm wearing to clean it.
[Vibrant Accessories] s15274n:
I would argue there seems to be slightly more... but that may be due to the fact that it seems harder to get off the SP than the glass... that really may be the issue.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
I'm liking 2 right now.

1) Samsung i8700

2) Asus

I'm hoping they offer expandable storage via SD card under the battery. But I'm liking the appeal of the square devices.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
Storage will not work in the since that you might be thinking it will only increase the size of you internal storage ie smasung + 8 gb sd card = internal storage of 16gb

[HD2 General] hardik119:
Hi,

Got my HD2 couple months back and using it with silicon cover since beginning but now I want to take the cover off and show the real beauty of the phone to everyone but I am too scared to take the silicon cover off because I am clumsy and I drop my phone way too frequently.

I know the phone looks very durable but exactly how durable is it??? can people share some experiences like oh I dropped it from 5ft and it was intact or oh I dropped it from 2ft and the screen broke etc etc.

I used to have HTC Kaiser/tilt and I dropped it way too my times without any covers but it never gave up on me.

PS: I know there is no real way to define durability of a cellphone but u know there are some cellphones which are really delicate and u have to handle them with extra extra care. While there are some like the kaiser who are made for rough use. Just want to know which category our HD2 belongs to?

Sorry for the double post, by mistake i posted it in accessories section!
[HD2 General] zecke7211:
Hey, i droped it many times and nothing happens.

Sometimes from 150 cm and a bit more and less.
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
I have thrown my Diamond down the street many times on a night out, but I would never want to drop my HD2 outside of a case, the entire front of the phone is glass, so you may get lucky a couple of times you may not. I wouldn't want to take the chance, it's expensive to replace.
[HD2 General] H2D2:
I've dropped my HD2 a few times, most recent was when my mate rugby tackled me on a night out and broke my hand in the process, the HD2 survived almost unscathed due to it being in its case, although there is now a tiny chip on the front-facing bezel above the headphone socket where it meets the glass.

I never bothered with a screen protector and the screen looks as good as new and I've had mine since Nov2009. It's a tough little phone. As long as you keep it in its case when its not being used you will be fine.
[HD2 General] Hulmeman:
If you're that clumsy, I'd suggest you keep it in it's case Hardik119 as Murphys law says you'll drop it as soon as you take that cover off?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
hehe, i can see tomorrows post already

'so last night i fumbled whilst taking the case off and the phone exploded into 900 pieces'
[HD2 General] Viper92Z:
It's great, I dropped it several times from 0.5m-1.0m and it's working perfectly ATM.
[HD2 General] F3ZZ3H:
Had mine for 9 months now, never put a silicon case or it or screen protector. Only use the leather-ish case that came with it, have dropped my HD2 loads of times. I am litterally the worst person with phones, i had four new phones in a 2 year contract before this because i am so clumbsy, including the kaiser and tp2. HD2 is far more resilient and mine has not noticable marks on it.

Maybe i'm lucky with this phone, but i have seen videos of hd2 and iphone being pushed together screen to screen and the iphone breaks way earlier and considering the screen is that much smaller more pressure would be technically be being applied to the HD2.

Dust in your HD2's USB port is more likely to break your phone than dropping it.
[HD2 General] dbh369:
The screen is gorilla glass, check out youtube for some videos of guys trying to break or scratch it, not easy! As for the case, I dropped it a couple of times on asphalt, and while the case looked fine, there is a rubbery edging around the screen that did get gouged. You can't really tell by looking, but you can feel it.
