(More customer reviews)The HTC Touch Pro2 has a resistive display covered in a relatively soft, plastic outer layer that is extremely easy to scratch. Consequently and unfortunately, a screen protector is an essential first accessory for this device.
Amazon's product description for the "LCD Mirror Screen Guard Protector for HTC Touch Pro2 (CDMA)" states, "It looks and works like a mirror when your phone's screen is locked. And when the screen is activated, the display contents also appear like normal." Sadly, this is completely untrue. The screen guard significantly reduces screen brightness, so much so that you will probably have to boost the display's brightness level. The screen protector also produces a smoky, yellowish-brown cast. Additionally, an odd polarizing effect combines with the highly reflective surface to make the display even more difficult to view.
This screen protector is almost useless as a mirror. Although you can see yourself in it, your reflection is severely distorted. The mirrored surface also makes fingerprints highly visible, unattractive and hard to clean.
The product packaging claims that the screen protector is bubble free, but this is far from the case. Although I was very careful applying the screen guard, there are many bubbles that I was not able to remove with the included cardboard tool. The bubbles have persisted.
On a positive note, the screen guard fitted my Verizon phone perfectly, but is now curling off at the bottom of the phone near the buttons.
In summary, stay away from this screen protector. Although it will help protect your HTC Touch Pro2's screen, it degrades the display quality significantly and makes the device uglier because it is a fingerprint magnet. At nearly $10 with shipping (the price has since dropped), the "LCD Mirror Screen Guard Protector for HTC Touch Pro2 (CDMA)," a plastic film that probably cost a few pennies to manufacture, is a nearly useless ripoff.
UPDATE: Soon after posting this review, I discovered the screen protector was covered with scratches after only a couple of days use. I contacted the vendor, GizmoReady, for a refund and they promptly credited back my $10. So the "LCD Mirror Screen Guard Protector for HTC Touch Pro2 (CDMA)" is a bad product, but GizmoReady provided good service.
