G1 cracked screen what do i need to replace? - G1 Accessories

recently broke the screen
Ok my cat recently broke the screen on my g1. I now have to pay 130 bucks for a new phone which more than paid for the phone when got it...alas emo tear..... but any ways I was thinking of geting an armor case and and skin shield like invesa shield. And is that just a waste of money? I defently want the armor case. But not sure about the skin any help be of great help thanx.

with respect, kill your cat.

Lol trust me I want to it was like slow motion cause it feel jsut out of reach

lol.. like in the pram scene in the Untouchables..
"Noooooooooooooooooooo!"
Good luck bro

i agree with little_rock
i have the invisi sheild on my phone, the full wrap, it really does cover the whole phone, and its the best skin ive ever had on a phone as far as scratches go, ive demonstrated the 'keys scratching the screen' that the company did to the iphone (took a key and attempted to scratch the skin on a iphone with no luck), and it works. However, i dropped my old g1 with the invisi sheild on it from a good distance while walking onto concrete and it still caused a ding in the g1 (bottom corner) and took a small chunk out of the skin, now invisi shield gives a lifetime replacement if you damage your skin, but at that point ive already got a ding in my g1
so the invisi shield is mainly to prevent scratches, if you are getting the armor case, be prepared to have a much thicker g1, and im pretty sure its a tight fit so i dont know if it will fit over the invisi shield (im asuming you are talking about the one in the image below.
I dont think youll need both, that armor case is no joke when it comes to dropping your phone, the invisi shield is top of its class, but against scratches, so choose the armor if you plan on dropping it, or the shield if you just dont want scratches and mid level protection from dropping

surely that makes draggin the notification curtain down a nightmare?

my girlfriend has a regular snap on plastic case, and even that can get on my nerves when using her g1, especially when im used to mine, so i can only imagine 'nightmare' is hardly the right adjetive for THAT monster

so wootroot what do you use instead?

think of the headach from having to open your phone to get to the keyboard using the above case, it looks like you have to open the case to use it, which would certainly tick me off if i wasnt such a avid chomp sms and steel user
if you want your phone to have a bullet proof vest, get that case, but weigh out the pro's and cons, if you dont drop your phone at highspeed or from large heights, get invisi shield, i swear by that company and there claims to there skins, its uber easy to install (it includes a small spray bottle of water (they claim its a secret solution ) and you spray the back of the skin, apply it, use the included squeegy to push out all of the moisture, and when it drys it sticks on there very nicely, wont slide around at all, yet when i removed it before sending my old one back to tmobile, not only was my g1 spot free of any adhesive, it was scratch free (minus the ding) as well. the screen is nice and smooth so you dont have alot of resistance on your finger, and when you get it in the mail and feel the skin for the first time, you can definately feel the quality

honestly? invisishield and a death grip, seriously, everytime i hold my phone when not ontop of carpet im holding my phone like it owes me money, ive dropped the g1 with invisi shield on it on rock/dirt surface which would certainly scratch the phone if it didnt have the shield, and i just had to dust it off, the price for the invisi shield is a little much but its worth it with that lifetime warranty, id say use that soft case included with the invisi shield, if your not using the phone, put it in the soft case, but thats just my own preference, i have to say, that armor... yeah youll never hurt your g1 with that thing

"holding my phone like it owes me money"
that rocks dude!
might try the invisisheild then.. and preferred (ie cheap) websited to get it from?
cheers bro

i got mine from amazon, order it from my phone actually, but im sure if you use google shopping and search for invisi shield g1 youll find the best price (if it isnt amazon)

koolness. cheers bro

same to you, pm me if you get it and need help getting it on, the directions make it sound like rocket science, as if you put to much moisture on it youll destroy it, drench that sh*t, slide it in place, and crush that water out

weird is it made by zagg - they go ona bout nanotechnology and all thwat crap but theres seems to be invisible sheid as opposed to invisi shield...
cheers

mine was by zagg, comes in a fancy box, i didnt know there was two different shields, trust zagg, and im not sure about nanotech, but its pretty serious material

sweet - zagg it is then bro

So I'm reallly just wanting somthing to protect the screen from sharp edges. Like a rock or the conor of table. Or a metal ammo box... and those two are the best options that I came up with

AT&T Tilt 2 Clear Hard Case

I purchased this. got really excited as its the only case that att offers for the phone that is a snap on hard case incase of accidents. it also has a screen protecter which i was weary of from the start. when i got it. It actually fits perfect compare to the only one they had for The Fuze. Which scratched my phone and wore quickly. but it did its job for 3 months.
But the Tilt 2 one i dont think i like due to the screen protector. It sticks to the screen making bubble like look. and it has a black border on the face which takes away from the Chrome accents. i even took off my screen protector just incase it was conflicting with the case. and it still did the same thing. stuck to the screen or made bubble like appearences when the screen was turned off. i think they messed up with this desighn, and i may be taking it back because it cost me 29.99 plus tax.
System
That was my experience too. I took it off and put on a Boxwave screen cover. Also, the screen cover was just loose enough to trap fine particles under the cover.
I took mine off because:
1) It was extremely difficult to tap the taskbar to bring up the Task Manager
2) The scrollbar at the bottom of the display became next to impossible to use
Basically, the edges of the screen required large amounts of pressure before the phone would register a touch with the case on.

+1 I got rid of the case very quick.
I still use this case but only the bottom half the top part pretty "rinkiydink" i removed the screen protector part and just tried using the top piece but it doesn't stay on the device i would suggest buying one from amazon.com i have a black snap on case on the way i payed 8 bucks for!!! the case-mate has a year warranty so if it cracks or whatever at&t will swap it out for you that is one advantage i guess.

yeah i even took off the plastic top... but it scratched the fake Rhodium around because of debris that got in there. ooo i was erked. so i figured you know what. i might as well enjoy my phone... but if i drop it... crap! i better figure something out.
Let me know how that case from Amazon works out. if you got a link id appreciate it. thanks.
i just got this case.. its nice!
heres the fix to the bubbling look problem..
get a anti-glare screen protector under it.
i have this setup on my ipod touch (casemate + antiglare) and it works perfectly, no werid smudges. i have an invisible shield right now + this case mate and im debating switching to an anti glare to get the nasty sticky look off... we'll see. anyway, i dont have a solution for the buttons being harder to press xD
I got this case right after I dropped the Tilt2 the first time.
Now 3 months later the case comes apart in my purse.
Sucks
Now Im looking for a Clear case that has a screen like this one not just cover the edges.
the Bubble thing got on my nerves,
Tilt2 Case-mate clear plastic case bubbles
Hello and thanks for all of you posting on this...
I will return mine and be satisfied with the one I already have on it. Saw these Case-mate covers at the AT&T store for half off so I thought I'd try one and was generally pleased except for the bubbles... bad design. And I thought of doing all the things that others have tried (posted here above) and so I will just get my money back. I guess all the vendors are making good cases for the iphone...
I can't really find a really nice case for this phone. The one I did find I had to make modifications to it like use a file to provide better access to the on/off button on top and the volume controls... I did find one from otter box on ebay that looks interesting...
Thanks again to all who posted and made my decision to return this product easy.
CASEMATE
The only thing positive I can say about the CaseMate that AT&T sells is that when the screen protector delaminates from the clear plastic frame it is glued into AT&T will replace the whole thing, back and front, for 1 year after initial purchase, other than that it is crap. Keep some cynoacrylate (super glue) around for when it does pop off, but when you compare the $29 they want against so many other products in this price range it just doesn't hold up. Hell it doesn't even have a clip.
In the same vein is the Body Glove but it is far superior and less money. It doesn't try to protect your screen so you will still need a screen protector, but it has a clip that acts as a stand.

A friend of mine was at a mall and going past a kiosk and they had a bunch of hard snap on cases for the touchpro 2... she had asked me if I wanted one but I didnt really. I guess they were only around 20 dollars. I saw the ones at ATT months and months ago and they looked like garbage. The one she got was pretty nice though... no crappy piece of plastic that covers the screen!
so if you are in the market for a cheaper one and dont want to wait for one to ship from ebay or whatever just go to your mall.
The case mate one that ATT sells is horrid! I have it on my phone right now and it's been scratching up the chrome and gouging it! As well my back cover has scratches from where debris has come in! I'm going to return this hunk of junk and get myself something better, any recommendations besides the bodyglove?

Protective skin for Htc hero

My brown back cover is suffering from 1 or 2 scratches in 2 months of usage. I normally see Iphone users have hard plastic/silicon/decent looking cases to protect their device. HD2 also has a dedicated one.
Does Hero have something stock from HTC to protect it's covers?
What do you use for decent looking protective covers for the Hero? Pics may help greatly!

Silicone case all the way baby.
Cheap as chips and doesn't look cheap like the floppy old rubber cases we used to use.
I think mine was about £2, £2.50 max (good old ebay). Also came with a free screen protector.
Well worth it.
Here is mine
Nice soft plastic thats easygoing even when taking it out of your pocket.
Got it from .pdair.com
Mines similar ^^^, Got mine off Ebay for £2.49, Bargin

Same one here, 5$ including shipping - on eBay. Works great, using it 4 months (I think) and there are no signs of material going yellow, or chipping and cracking. Protects very good and isn't bulky!
Also, I see you have Eclair. There is green tint on camera

Ooops,.... Got it wrong,... Not SILICONE, they are the soft floppy ones aren't they,....
I meant GEL case,... Like the photos people have posted.
Mine also covers the volume - I do have 6 though so I can mess around with if I prefer it with or without! (All for £5 inc P+P - Bargain!).
Sorry about the poor quality of the pic - my elf’s camera is not so good!
I like that it provides a bit of a ridge around the screen - My daughter has a tendency to play with my phone and ends up throwing/dropping it on the floor, this helps avoid scratching (I also have a screen protector) It also doesn't add too much width around it, provides better grip, and doesn't muffle sound when on the phone.
Much better than the floppy silicon ones - they are useless, gel all the way!
You let your daughter play with your phone,.... I don't even let the missus touch mine!
if she breaks it, i'll get a new one on insurance - but I turst her, although she isn't even 18months! She does like to phone people on it, that is the only downside to these cases, they don't stop that (I should set a lock pattern...)

Aaah, thats cute,... Although I find it hard to believe that other tots have phones. Who does she call?
Back on topic,... 6 for a fiver,... Ebay??... Are they all different colours?
She phones my fianceé's phone, which is usuall sat underneath. (sorry for going off topic)
I would prefer her not to have my phone, but thats what makes the case a necessity of the case, she can get anywhere I leave it, this way, I don't get it broken, and she brings me it if someone phones me
Yup, I have white, blue, red, pink, purple and black. If i were a girl, I could accessorise to what I was wearing!

Carbon Skin

I'm new here and registered to show how good this thing looks (in my opinion) with a carbon skin. I did the same for my iPad before I sold it. I uploaded the pictures to my User account photo album so I assume I just link them now.

Looks good. Can share with others here where you got the skin from? And is it really carbon fiber or just the design?

I purchased it from Skinomi. I like how the skin gave the white "bumpers" a darker look.

I got the same thing from Skinomi and I like it. I only added the one back panel.
That does look nice.
HTC Flyer / Tapatalk
Nice! Had a similar one from PhantomSkinz when I had my Captivate. Love the carbon look.
I have the same skin. I'm afraid the corners may start to peel back... Not faulting Skinomi, since it would be a problem with any cut to fit skin.
Just trying to think of ways to prevent it. Maybe a bead of nail-polish or super glue on the edges to smooth and reduce from catching... also prevent particles from getting under the edges.
I used a heat shrink gun for the edges and it pretty much gave it a very clean, secure adhesion to the tablet. I would think a hair blow dryer would do the same.
Did the same with a heat gun while wrapped in packing stretch wrap... But still feel as though it may get caught... Oh well, they sent me two by mistake or it may be there policy.

Yes, you really have to use a heat gun or blow dryer for best results ...I used a blow dryer.
I really want to get this skin combo but I wish they would cut out a section around the htc lettering like they do for the ipad skins.
I might just get it and do the cutting myself but I would prefer not to.
OP, thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Yes. I would have liked to see the HTC logo cut-out also. Overall its a nice cut.
Just installed yesterday. The pics are a bit lousy because the lighting here at work is crap and I can't just leave right now. I thought it would be nice to see the htc logo but after installing it I think it looks good as is.
It has a great textured feel to it and it adds a bit of grip to the view. I didn't install the sides because they just didn't line up right; I had to cut the skin for the top bumper because it would have prevented me from removing the cover if I need to get to my micro sdcard.
The screen protector that came with it is nice and doesn't have that rubbery feel that zagg's have. It doesn't affect the display at all unless you install it and leave many microbubbles and streaks behind.
Overall I give it 3.5 out of 5. The reason I rated it like this is because the original design prevents access to the micro sdcard without having to destroy the skin. Another reason is that the cutouts don't line up that great on the view. The edges that stick to the curves of the view seem to have been cut short and leave a bit of a gap between the skin edge and the edge it is supposed to wrap around.
Other than that, it's still not a bad price (29.95 I think I paid) for a full body-skin and screen protector. A heat gun or blow-dryer is a must use item when installing this skin. It makes the skin soft enough to be able to stretch it just bit if you need it to which is what I did in some areas to get the edges to line up correctly.
Nice skin but I agree it's a pain to cut the skin to be able to remove the sd card cover. And the corners we difficult to stay in place without putting a lot of heat to it. 3 stars for me.

Really nice

I agree about the cutting of the cover portion. A razor did it fairly easily. The back portion of the skin is great. The rest is just meh. I must say though, that this company does stand behind their product. I wrote them after my install about the cover portion that came off when I tried to change out my micro sd card. He shipped me a whole new skin, screen protector and all. It was in my mailbox two days later. This is very rare these days. For that I give it four stars. I had a problem with a full body suit from body guards and still have not received my exchang from them, and that was weeks ago. The screen protector on this setup is one of the clearest I've used but it is a little grippy and feels unresponsive at times. Although, the finger prints are way less than when I had nothing at all.
I just wanted to let everyone know that the Skinomi carbon fiber skin and the Armor Suit carbon skin are the exact same thing. I just received my Armor suit today and was surprised when it was the exact thing. So if you're shopping for one you can get the cheaper of the two. Service wise the shipping was about the same, but Skinomi was on the ball with a replacement that same day. My Armor skin was originally for my Sammy 10.1 and I exchanged it for the flyer which took a month and me calling a few times to get it. I will say that they were very nice people and very understanding.

Thinnest Case?

Alright so, I'm the type of person who never puts cases on their phones..
The least I would ever do would be an zagg shield.
Though, with the evo 3D I'm sorta feeling a case now.
I'm looking for a really... really thin case.
My friend has the infuse on at&t and she has a really thin case.
It feels almost metal..and only covers the back and the sides.
But it as almost no bulk to the phone..
Anything similar to that for the evo 3d?
thanks!
heres what i bought:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hybrid-Hard...ccessories&hash=item4aac82961c#ht_1814wt_1159
there is also the casemate but its cost more money for almost the same product:

How do you like it?
I personally wouldnt recommend them as they provide no protection at all if you drop the phone face down or it lands on the corner edge. I would go with a TPU case if you need something that is thin, as they wrap around the edges and protect the phone better. I'm not just saying this because I own TPU-Cases either Buy them from whoever you want.. just my opinion of course.
I have the matte back black case from tpu-cases.com and highly recommend them:
http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=7&sort=20a&page=1
it's thin, fits perfectly, aesthetically looks great, free fast shipping (they are a U.S. seller so there's no wait time unlike the overseas stuff) with email confirmation, all at a great price. Their current line up have the camera holes lined up and as it's raised, there is protection for the 3D's dual cameras when you lay it flat on a table. The shutter and volume buttons are covered but access is not a problem for me.
Hope this helps.
I have a smoke argyle TPU already. I bought it since I got the phone 3 days before release and an Otterbox wasn't out yet. Once rooting my phone I realized how much I loved how thin it was.
i just bought this one i thought it looked really cool and it cheap so if i dont like it no big loss http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aluminum-Metal-Case-Cover-HTC-EVO-3D-Sprint-H153-/320721844909?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4aac82faad
I bought this one and really like it. It fits very tightly and looks really nice in person. It snaps together securely and if I have any complaints, this tight and secure fit is it. I had to take it off once to do a battery pull and I thought I was going to destroy it getting it off. If you like to frequently swap out spare batteries, this is probably not the case for you. Other than that, I can't find any faults with it.

i like the case alot, fits perfect. It adds no bulk at all which is what i wanted cause i also never used a case on my previous phone just the Zagg shield, i have full zagg on along with this case so the tops and bottom where the case does not cover is still protected. Also i have a tpu case and the otterbox commuter, i use each depending on the kind of things i do that day.
I'm with you, I've never used a case and I always used to bad mouth people who made their brand new phone ugly as **** buy putting a case on it. Hell, I even got my roommate to go naked with his Droid X.
BUT, I dropped my new baby Evo3D a few times already and since I'm no longer rich, I thought, I'd put a case on it. Got one of these bad boys from ebay, $2.19 shipped
The fit is perfect and it doesn't look bad either. Adds minimal thickness. I also ordered a ballistic case just to try it out...we'll see though. I don't want the phone to look like a brick

I had that case also and agree, very nice and doesn't add much bulk at all. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, getting it off the phone is ridiculously difficult IMO. Also, I didn't like the fact that instead of having smaller, precise cutouts for just the camera lenses and the flash, it had one giant cutout in the back for the entire camera module (leaves the area more susceptible to scratches IMO). So I returned it and got a case from tpu-cases.com. Different material but adds about the same amount of neglible bulk to the phone. More importantly for me though, it doesn't have the one giant cutout in the back but rather, instead, has smaller cutouts just for the two camera lenses, flash, and speaker.
how about this? htc official case

I think the case mate barely there is the thinnest case out there. I got a couple of copycat cases from here:
Case-Mate barely there copycat
Another Case-Mate barely there copycat
I bought both of them in black. They turned out to be identical. Both are the same thinness and have the soft touch paint in the back. Now I got 2 of them.... and can only use one..... pushing my wife to get an EVO 3D as well when her contract is up in Nov.
I have a case like the CaseMate Barely There on my 4th Gen IPod Touch and love it. For my 3D, u have all 3 Otterbox cases and use them for different activities.

I have this one, and in a few colors. Really like it, too. For some reason, I get obsessed with trying lots of new cases, so I have about a dozen, probably.

How many of you will go NAKED?

With such a beautiful phone, I really dont want to cover it up. I bought a very minimal case but I'm not sure if I will use it or not. Its also a big phone so it may be easy to fumble so even though I have never dropped a phone, the thought of having that case on there for the what if moment.
So are you going to go Naked or is the security of having a case more important to you?
With the exception of a snack size Ziploc bag to keep dust out at work I always go naked and haven't had any problem yet but I hope to keep this phone for a while so I have been shopping around for the perfect case
I have a full body set of Xtreme Guard protectors on it, basically a cheap Zagg without the orange peel.
I would love to go naked but because its such a beautiful phone i need some protection. So ill be using a case thats got minimal protection but still keeps it nice and thin

That is what I have ordered as well. Can't go wrong. Ordered a full body set and a spare screen protector.. Used Zagg on my iPhone 4 and the orange peel was horrible.
I have an Infuse 4G car dock.. so can't add too much of a case without making that no longer work.. (although I am going to likely modify the holder a bit and see if I can make it work with a case.. will see)
I am assuming that the 3rd party accessories will start appearing soon.. some pretty nice cases.. the phone I find is a bit smooth and hard to hold onto.. nearly dropped it a couple of times.

I would never do that in my life, all my previous phones were protected by full body protectors and TPU or silicon cases. When I get this device nothing will change, I don't take no chances with stuff like this; GSIII deserves to be protected IMO.

I ordered the infuse charger but cancled after thinking i wouldnt be able to use it with a case. Please post a review with pictures if you are able to modify.
I have a invisi shield on mine fitted specifically for the gs3. i like that alot. keeps the big nice screen protected and scratch free. The back of the phone also has the invisi-shield on it. Im currently shopping around for cases to add to the protection also. I have a tendency to lap my phone when getting out of the car. Its the only time my phone has a chance to touch the ground. You can Never get to much protection. i would hate myself forever if i destroyed this beautiful machine
I'm naked at the moment with pebble blue and I like the color now, I usually don't put cases on my phone but don't feel like paying for insurance so I got a tpu case from amazon it should be here this week, will see how I like it

Raw and naked here, hate cases and screen protectors
I plan on getting a trident Kraken. I don't care about the phone looks that much.

I use that pouch in tan. Never liked the feel or look of a beautiful phone in a nasty plastic or rubber case.

i never go naked. This is the case i just ordered. http://www.amazon.com/Clear-Android...41036029&sr=8-1&keywords=galaxy+s3+cruzerlite
I went naked on my Captivate for 2 years. It has a few dings and scratches, but nothing on the screen.
The purpose of these small slim phones is that they be...small and slim!
putting a case on it destroys that.
Yup naked. I don't think I've ever bought a phone case

I have not used a cover on my vibrant, GSII or now on my GSIII... I am not saying this is for everyone... I just loathe the bulkiness and non-tactile feel of ALL cases.
ive never used a case on my phones and wont with the s3. i will be getting a pouch/sleeve though.
went with the alcantara in grey

Would prefer to go naked, but with a device this gorgeous I'm gonna have to get some kind of protection for sure....
