I have been using my T-Mobile TP2 without protection on it for a while and have dropped it a few times. The screen is still perfect and the lower half (keyboard) has relatively no damage other than a few spots of chipped paint.
But the upper half, around the edges, has took quite a bit of damage. Mostly chipped pieces and dents, partially because of me dropping it and also because the bodyguard I was using previously damaged it! It was one of those crappy snap-on ones. Will never get one again, just bought ghost armor.
Anyway my question is what is the best way to repair the chipped pieces and dents or is that piece sold somewhere so I could replace it? I have no experience replacing things on the phone but I'm sure if there's a tutorial anywhere it wouldn't be too hard for me. Besides I"m not trying to disassemble the entire thing just the upper portion without the screen.
Any help appreciated.

Best option...Ebay>buy broken (software wise) TP2>use if for spare parts
hmmm the only cheap one I could find listed was also worn...
was hoping to profit because i will probably be selling my TP2 soon.
go to ebay and search touch pro 2 houseing case there about 80 bucks they come in balck and red and black and blue the are a little hard to swich over to but i did it and it worked out fine just takes about an hour tools and dremal if and only if ure useing the tp2 t7373
I am trying to locate a replacement front HW button (back key is either cracked or scratched and light shows through) - so, during the lcd repair process, is this button easily replaceable without getting too involved with any other components? Any suggestions or advice on what to do/where to locate this piece of plastic would be met with extreme gratitude!
Get a new housing from eBay.
Just be careful to get one that fits your version.
My phone was stolen at work on Friday, so I managed to scramble and find one at a good price on eBay and it arrived this morning.
While I did ask to see photos, and I expected some scuffs, the photos didn't do the device justice at all, as it's much worse than I expected. In all the time I've owned my devices, I've never dropped my phone once, not once! this thing's a disaster.
So I'll need to get a replacement housing. I've been looking at eBay but couldn't see anything except these ridiculous colored housings for teens and 20-somethings. Where do real adults get the housings from?
This is an excellent outer shell protector, gives better heft holding (IMHO), rubberized black, very lightweight. Just snaps on and off.
Auction ended, but locate seller store. My Tilt2 fit perfectly in the Touch Pro Verizon except camera button needed cutting shell (trivial task).

You could take it up with eBay for SNAD, probably get a refund depending on the exact wording of the add, but if it was really SNAD should do it.

Eh? On ebay? You have everything from the original HTC version to various carrier variations, search more/wider. They're 40-80$ though.

I've been checking but I haven't found anything but these colored replicas and I don't want that. I'm willing to pay more for the original housing if I could find it.
As for the eBay complaint issue, I did think about it, but eBay is such a PITA about any disputes; they always act as though they don't want to get involved at all. In the end, I'll eat this one caveat emptor, at least this time.

eBay dispute process is tedious an long winded, but will lean towards the buyer in almost all cases. You just have to be patient.

Always pay with your credit card through PayPal. Ebay and PayPal suck at disputes; your credit card company is your fall-back and your best protection as well.
You can get OEM housings for $50-60:

Looks like it's kinda tricky to replace the housing (if you're going OEM)....

Great, thanks for the tip! I'll have to look into this closer, as I think if I go with the Touch Pro 2 OEM housing, there'll be a hole for the front-facing camera.
Maybe I'll just deal with it for now and keep my eyes open for an AT&T Tilt 2 housing somewhere. If it wasn't so beat up, I'd try a warranty exchange through AT&T; I was able to do it when I purchased a used BlackBerry Bold 9700 with no problem.
Can use HTC TP2 housing on T-Mobile TP2?

Hi there!
I've a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 that is quite beat up too & I want to replace the whole housing.
Problem is where I'm living right now, the T-Mobile housing costs double of the standard Touch Pro 2 housing.
Is it possible to fit the motherboard, flex cable & LCD panel of the T-Mobile onto a HTC Touch Pro 2 casing with the power button?
I would need the touch screen & call/navigation buttons as well.
Please advise me if you know anything about this.
Thanks!

I'm afraid I don't know myself, but if you keep searching, I'm sure there is someone who's done it and knows for sure.

Hey everyone, I made this post to ask around and see if anyone has tried out the ZAGG Invisible shield for the Mytouch Slide, and what do you all think about it.
I'm thinking of buying it but would like to get some feedback first.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
I have it on my slide it has allready saved my screen my daughter dropped mine and it scratched the screen shield and it saved my screen.They have a lifetime warranty they are a little difficult to put on so if you are getting it at a store let them do the install and whatever you do make sure you leave your phone of for 12 to 24 hours. 1 is it helps and all the bubles realease and 2 they use a liquid spray on each piece when they install it.And you dont want anything wet when you turn it back on. I swear by mine. And I live in Utah where they are headquartered.I have an in so I get alot of free skins and stuff.
I wont use any protector that requires a spray or water to apply the protector. I'm waiting for the plastic static cling protectors to come out. I used them on my G1 all the time and they are simple to put on without any bubbles and plus the are pretty cheap. These new rubbery screen protectors feel weird, they say its some high tech military material or some garbage. I just want a simple plastic protector that sticks to the screen with no solution. There's a ton for the G1 I dont know why they havent released any for the slide yet.
I'm not too sure about Invisible Shield, but I recently installed a bodyguardz full body protector on my slide and so far I love it. The major advantage I see over invisible shield is that, for about the same price, bodyguardz gives you two sets of protectors in case you botch the first installation (which I did). Overall, after a few days after the second installation I only have a few small bubbles and I actually love the feel of it overall... since installing the protector, I have found it much more easier to type accurately in swype, but that may just be me. There is also no negative effect on the touch screen in any way if you were worried about that.

Thanks a lot! I actually never even thought to check T-Mobile and the last time I checked e-bay all I could find are those new ones that require that spray or water. I just bought these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...Category=20336&_trkparms=algo=LVI&its=I&otn=2 I'll let you guys know how they are. I can also tell you NOT to order these http://www.amazon.com/EZguardZ-T-Mo..._1_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1278542660&sr=8-1 I bought them and they are trash, literally thats where they ended up in my trash lol.
Thanks for the info, and everyone's feedback, I went ahead and decided to get the ZAGG shield full body, try it out and see what happens, I tried the T-mobile ones and they just had too many scratches too quick, hopefully ZAGG won't let me down.

invisable shielde
whats up man. i just wanted to let you know about my personal expirences with invisible shields. i personally have had one on every htc phone ive ever owned (touch pro, touch pro II, HD2, and now the mytouch slide 3G) and i love pretty much everything about them. they seriously are nearly scratch proof and honestly, during a fall it will protect your phone for the most part. installation can be a pain in the a$$, but you just have to brave about it and use plenty of the spray. use it ilberally on the actual shield and your finger-tips and it will make it pretty easy to position it. on the back peice just go ahead and soak that thing cuz its hard to get it right the first time. luckily if you do mess up, these things come with a lifetime replacement warrenty. all you have to do is give them back the old shield and they'll hook you up with a brand new one . once you figure it out though you'll appreciate it a lot. it gives the phone a really nice feel and it keeps it really well protected. me personally, i like to pair a full body invisible shield with a regular t-mobile screen protector. the reasoning behind this is, one, that ive discovered that it is nearly impossible to get the screen portion of the invisible shield on without bubbles underneth it for some reason (possibly because of how slick the screen is compared to the body of the phone?). and two, a touch screen is meant to be glided around on. it should be nice and slick and feel extremely smooth tothe touch, not all rubbery and sticky when warm. and finally, because it just plain looks better, straight up. your not going to get the same clean look of the plastic protector as you are from an invisible shield. yes the standard protectors are easier to scratch, but thats why they come in three packs. so you can replace em when nessesary. i find it easiest to place the protector down on the screen and position it properly, then take a piece of scotch tape and tape the side. that way you can peel up the backing and lay it down properly with a credit card as to get it perfectly positioned and without bubbles. if you follow my instructions you should be able to install with ease . ive really liked every invisible shield ive had, and the only problem ive found with them is that after time the edges of the shield will get dirty because of the adhesive on the back slowly being pressed out over time. that and the edges sometimes come up. but thats why they come with a warrenty, so you can replace em all you want . i tend to replace mine every 4 to 6 months. in the end i found that its a worth it investment if your the kind of person that wants to protect your phone but doesnt want to add a bunch of bulk to the phone from a case. it really allows the beauty of the phone to come out while still being protected. anyways, i hope my review will help you with your installation and help anyone else reading with their choice on wheather or not to purchase an invisible shield. i really like mine, and i hope you like yours too. enjoy
I have had the invisible shield on my last 3 phones and it is clean, discrete and it does everything that it is suppose to. I personally pay the extra money to have the representative put it on for me and call it a day. You will not be disappoint in the product and the others are just plain cheap and inefficient.

Went to the local ZAGG store and they finally had it, and I got it lol, now I got one and one coming in the mail, but I must say the full body extreme coverage is nice, feels a bit rubbery but the grip is awesome! So I must say my hat is off to you ZAGG.

That's the one that I ordered. The full body extreme. And the rubbery feeling should be nice since the phone is so slippery anyway.

I suggest to get the cheapest on. I,ve ordered alot of screen protector for my phones and they are all about the same thing.
I've ordered those one at 0.99$ from China and do the Job #1. I change it as soon as the shiny finis is gone (after 3-4 month)
don't get it too thik because you lose touch screen sensibility.
i was just about to buy the htc's..
I don't know which flavor phone you have, but AT&T currently has a three pack online for $5.00
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...060233&q_manufacturer=htc&q_model=prod4000225
I ordered three packs as the phone is no longer online and I am sure these will be gone soon too.
Get the AT$T ones as they are a perfect fit. I bought some off eBay and while they fit they were just slightly larger overall. This makes them not sit flat on the screen giving you a slight bubble along the edge and you can feel the edge with your finger when you slide it across. I've lifted mine inadvertently a few time because of this.

That's exactly the reason i entered this thread. I have had a pair of mirror screen protector sitting in a drawer for moooonthssss. The previous one was my first, but it did the job and time forbiding, i left it alone. But tonight i took a few minutes and installed the first of my mirrored screen protectors!!!
WOW
i don't get why all the others are still available. People you won't believe it!
I didn't pick any specific ebay seller. Just hit the cheapest i saw( i also bought the tv out thingy from the same seller, haven't tried that one out either)
You may read around that it darkens the screen a bit. That may well be so but no remarkably enough to stop you from using it!

All good, apart from direct sunlight. Everyphone suffers in that area, mirror screen protector sucks worse!
Honestly get the Zagg ones. I dropped my HTC Touch Pro 2 twice, while running, face DOWN, and it skidded for like 5 feet. I've got scratches on the inside of the phone, on the case, but the screen itself is perfect. Best money I ever spent.

I second the Zagg. Garanteed protection. I am done with those cheap dozen for a penny protectors that last maybe a month, bubble up, don't fit, peal off, etc, etc... Sure they are cheap, but what a waste of time...
I typically go with the full body style from Zagg to provide an almost complete protection of the phone and enhance the style. You can buy them from Zagg.com, Amazon.com or if you prefer the touchy feely you can typically get them at Best Buy. Come with an applicator spray and squeegie to ensure there are NO bubbles!
Just my 2¢...
Definitely not worth the $12.99 price tag. Better to go for something much cheaper.
I recently purchased this product after a recommendation through the XDA EVO 3D forum. I patiently waited for the product to arrive and upon arrival I noticed two screen protectors but only one LCD wet tissue. It didn't bother me at the time because I figured I would never have a need for the other one. I placed the first screen protector on my phone, and had trouble getting it to fit properly on the phone. I eventually got it on, albeit not straight, but there was this long bubble on the edge of the protector with no dust underneath it. I thought it would eventually go away.
A little more than 24 hours after use, I woke up and noticed a hairline scratch/line that was only on the screen protector. I lifted it up with tape, and ran tape under it but the issue still remained. It was not on my phone as I flipped from bottom to top, and the problem was still there. I thought how useful it was to have a second one, but had an issue since there was no other LCD tissue.
Needless to say after 24 hours of receiving your product, my phone now has no screen protector. I am very disappointed thus far with the product, as it is 2-10X the price of other screen protectors. I had no problem paying the price because I had this sense that this was a quality product.
I contacted their customer service, and their only reply was just a standard copy and paste reply that it's not their fault, and they would send another for $3. They actually expect me to pay more money for their overpriced product. I'm pretty sure these screen protectors aren't even worth that much.
TLDR; Don't buy Clarivue Screen protectors. Opt for the cheap ones. They also have horrible customer service.
/endrant
I am using the clarvue and had no issues. Nor did I use the wet wipe to clean it. I simply used a paper towel and some rubbing alcohol to clean the screen then followed up with a microfiber towel to wipe away any dust particles. Went on easy and any bubbles were easily removed by applying some pressure to the screenguard with a papertowel and pressing toward the nearest side.
These are very high quality and easy to apply. My opinion is your problems were due to user error. No reason to bash a company about their product because you didn't know how to properly apply it.
People always ask what kind of screen protector I have. Clarivue rocks!
I have stuck Seidio for all of my EVO and now 3VO needs and you cant go wrong, thier crystle clear screen protectors are thin protect really well and they don't cost that much. 9.99 on Seidio.com
I ended up with a hairline scratch on mine also after a day or 2. I can say that I will not be getting another. My Zagg on my 4g held up forever and I am rough on my phones. I think I'll get another of those.

I have the clarivue, I got it on without any bubbles... you put it on while you're taking the backing off.... the backing is folded between the screen and the cover.... it goes on smoothly, so long as the screen is clean.
As fr the Zagg's, they are tough, but too sticky for me. I use them on non touch screens.
That's all your fault really. (Except the one wipe.) I messed up while installing mine just as you described, so I took it off, rinsed it under some water and cleared a small piece of dust that attached to it. I put it back on, took my credit card to it to clear bubbles, wiped it dry and shiny. Tough luck!

I'm sorry, but, I don't see how that is their fault either? You think the company should supply an endless amount until you finally get on installed perfectly?
If they mailed out replacements for free then the pricing would increase even higher. Thus leading to people who can follow instructions to have to pay for the people who cannot. Sounds like you are socialist. Go post this on a socialist forum.

I had one of the Halo screen protectors on my EVO 4G. No issues with it whatsoever and was a quarter of the price. The lackluster customer service is the only thing that irked me in the whole process. I have no issue stomaching a $13 loss, I just expect better customer service. The CSR's name was Nina, and was not helpful at all!

What did you want their CSR to do for you? You said it yourself they were willing to give you another one for $3. That is 75% off the original price. If that is not good customer service, I don't know what is.
If the item had been defective, then I'd expect them to send you some for free. But that clearly is not the case. The product is fine, the instructions are clear, and they even offer you video instructions on their website.
Sounds to me like the only thing that would make you happy is if they gave you another set for free. That is a wrong way to look at it since the reason the product failed is your inability to apply it correctly.
For those who are interested in buying these, today only you can get some good savings.
Code "clear630" takes 10% off. (this code expires today!)
Code "clarivue1210" takes 10% off. (expires December 10, 2011)
Additionally, buying 3 products takes another 10% off. If you are concerned with the OP's post, they have a package of additional wipes for $9.99 (15 wipes):
http://www.clarivue.com/pre-moistened-cleaning-tissue-pack.html
I ended up paying $10.39 for a pack of two ultra clears for my 3D. I thought about getting 3 packs which would have been $27 or so, but didn't deem it necessary. I have heard very positive reviews for these protectors... we'll see how they go when I get them in a few days.
Clarivue is now offering 25% off over the Holiday weekend(7/1-7/4). 10% code "clarivue1210" cannot be stacked with this 25% but the buy 3 or more product 10% promo does stack for a total of 35% off!
IMO, processing time is slow for something you can just stick in an envelope. I ordered Friday 6/24 at 1pm and received a USPS tracking # immediately but the post office didn't receive the package until Wednesday 6/29 at 11pm. It's supposed to be delivered today, a full week later. It took 3.5 business days for Clarivue to process and only 2 business days for USPS to ship, from west to east coast!
Oh well, tpu case and gorilla glass means my evo 3d to still in perfect condition. I might not even need the screen protector now! But the other 2 evo's on my account are not as careful with their phones as I am so they'll need the protectors.
Per these reviews, I just ordered the Clarivue Ultra Clear protectors. Awesome 25% slae - $9.73 total for a pack - win!
Looking forward to giving them a test drive.
Yeah they seem to be pretty good quality. I ordered mine on 6/22 and didn't receive them until 6/29. I also ordered the one from Seidio, but since it got here first, I put it on my phone. Now I have the Clarivue laying around as backup in case something happens to my Seidio. Just ordered Clarivue for my girlfriend's new iPhone 4 though!

Clarivue is now offering 25% off over the Holiday weekend(7/1-7/4). 10% code "clarivue1210" cannot be stacked with this 25% but the buy 3 or more product 10% promo does stack for a total of 35% off!

25% off plus an additional 10% off doesn't equal 35% off, it's 32.5% off.
I had the seidio for my evo4g. I'm in construction and it lasted a year! For me that's good. Sand, drywall dust, concrete. Very small scratches but well worth it. Says its hardness is 3h. Who else says that? No one.
enjoying my EVO 3D. But root would be nice.
In my opinion, Screen Guard are the best screen protectors, in terms of ease of application, clarity and smoothness. At this price, you can't beat it too. Here is a link to eBay where I ordered them from. Very pleased with the quality!

Thanks, purchased.
I have always used Clarivue on my CPs because of ease of installation. Its not bullet-proof but it does the job.
I'd rather get the scratch on the Clarivue than on the touchscreen.
Guys, I need help. I've bought a used RAZR HD a month and a half ago and it was in a very good condition. 9/10, maybe even 9.5. had just a scratch or two on the rim around the screen.
Since then, I've dropped it onto concrete two times and on both occasions in went corner down, so now I've got two completely wrecked corners. Nothing else is broken, it's all fine, the kevlar back is pretty much mint, the screen is great, it's just that rim that is now completely ruining the look of the phone...
Did anyone face the same problem and what have you done to fix it, if anything? The only idea I've got now is to sand down the rim to be at level with the screen, that would possibly make it look good again. Naturally, I'd be very careful as to not scratch the screen...
Can that rim be replaced anyway? I'll check out the disassembly guides and videos now to see whether it goes together with the screen...
I'm so annoyed right now. The second drop happened minutes ago... God flipping damn it. The problem is that Moto's have not been widely used here in Serbia for years now and that makes the availability of any equipment for them more than scarce. I'll be ordering a universal case right now (the one in which you slide the phone in and out) but I'd still love to make it look good again.
Flipping damn it
*edit*
According to this video... It's glued very very strongly together - http://youtu.be/LfAyttf6fWU
That's just great... And I can't even find a silicon case, be it no name or branded, to cover it all up. Will see if I can order anything from across the border.

Was this with a case on the phone or with the phone not in a case? Just curious as I have my phone in a case and have dropped it on the corner and no issue like you describe. In fact, no scratches at all.
Just curious.

The phone was bare naked, mate. I haven't got any kind of case as of yet
*edit* Here goes a couple of picture, so someone could relate... I'm so annoyed that I've put it up for sale. If nobody takes it, I'll be sanding the rim/bezel. Perhaps all around, perhaps just this corner, not sure for now...

i recommend an otterbox defender, got mine off amazon for 20 dollars and because they are guaranteed for life i have gotten two replacements for free. i have dropped my phone off a 12 foot ladder and have thrown it against walls( dont ask) and have zero scratches or dents. phone is in mint condition.

This would be it, right - http://youtu.be/Eg5qkRCm5pU ? But, doesn't it turn what is already a quite a big phone into a massive one? Because it certainly seems so I'm guessing this cannot fit a pocket of any sort of pants? But it does seem to offer outstanding protection. Alas, at what a price, both functionality and monetary-wise (the price is $40+ on amazon?)... But even if I wanted to spend that amount of money on a case, I'd have to keep my fingers crossed for probably no less than a month, hoping that it will eventually arrive, intact and without many additional fees. Third world problems...
Thanks for the advice, anyway! I might pick up the Commuter edition, it seems more reasonable for my needs

yes thats it, im in construction so i went with defender, my sister has commuter and it seems to offer a level of protection for most peoples uses (2-3 foot drops) and yes it does make the phone bigger so if thats a concern i would go with commuter, also the screen protector on the defender is part of the case but with the commuter its a stick on screen protector if that matters to you( i can never get those to go on without wrinkles) i beleieve the 40 $ ones are the black ones bc otterbox stopped making them i bought a black one for 20$ 6 months ago

Thanks for the information once again, mate! And, yeah, I just figured out that there are different versions. The one with pink details is the cheapest...damn
We'll see how I can get my hands on one. The shipping fees are going to be higher than the price of the case itself, ffs :/

Here's what I have (well, it's the same style but mine is a Body Glove that I purchased from Walmart but I cannot find it anywhere online):
http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Mat...9233999&sr=8-2&keywords=motorola+razr+hd+case
It's worked well so far. I've dropped my phone a couple of times, once face down and maybe two times on the side and/or corner, and my phone has been protected.
Overall, it adds a little bulk, but nothing like an Otterbox. I can put this into my pants pockets without much issue.

This is very much like the generic cases available here for most smartphones, priced at $2-3. Would you say that your case has a premium quality and is worth the higher price? Because I've found those generic ones available together with free shipping on eBay. But I know how lousy their protection and appearance are, so I'm still weighing my options.

Again, that is not exactly the case I have, but I purchased it at a Walmat department store for about $14.
It feels rubbery and it's flexible when the phone is not in it. Mine says "Body Glove" on it but I cannot find it on their site (they don't list any cases for the Droid RAZR HD).
Overall, I wouldn't say it's premium quality (not like I had with my Otterbox cases for my OG RAZR MAXX that I used to own), but it does seem to do the job for me. As I said, I've dropped the phone face down with the case I have (which is similar to the one I linked to on Amazon) and the phone came out unscathed. It was about a three foot drop onto the concrete floor in my garage if that gives any indication.

Another vote to the Diztronic - it would cover that damage and will prevent the same type of damage when you drop it again. Mine has lived in one of these since I got it and gets tossed around all the time. Has landed face first a few times and has not skipped a beat thanks to the raised lip.

Thanks, mate. The Diztronic looks wonderful compared to the chinese "s-line" thing I bought because of free shipping... It's just crap and it doesn't even cover the edges properly - the left one is fine, but it cannot stay on top of the right one. Check the picture for illustration. I'll be sure to get the Diztronic one in the future. Can you just tell me whether its rubberised or is it just the matte finish making it look as if though it were? Because it looks like it is and that it's insanely sticky and that I wouldn't be able to stick it in my pocket, but I guess it's just the matte finish
