Default Scrolling

It may be that I just have to give it more time, but when I'm scrolling a page, I always seem to highlight & click on something I had no intention of. Can anyone give me a trick on how NOT to do this, or at least how to do it less?
Also, how do you quickly clear away the keyboard once you're finished typing (like now after I finish typing this)? I usually tap above the keyboard, but was wondering if there was a better way,

I sometimes accidentally click things when I'm trying to scroll, I think it's my screen protector. I have the one from Verizon, and sometimes my fingers don't slide very smoothly on it, and I think that causes some of my problems.

As for getting rid of the keyboard, that is easy. Once you are done typing whatever, just hit the Back button, and that closes the keyboard.

Thanks for the info. I was afraid if I did that, it would go back to the page before I started typing. I see now it doesn't.
Again, Thanks.

If browsing using Dolphin HD, there is a menu option to use the volume keys for vertical scrolling.

if you accidentally selecting things while scrolling, you are more than likely just being a little too heavy handed. try a lighter touch, but it just happens sometimes.

i doubt it has anything to do with the screen protector. and two points on this, A. the screen is gorilla glass so you don't really need a screen protector, the only thing that will scratch it is silica sand and the edge of other glass. B. if you do chose to use a protector (I do cause I'm paranoid about scrathes and I'm hard on my phones) I suggest the Steinhil protectors. I use the ultracrystal ones but they have several to chose, I didn't like the look and feel of the antifingerprint. the ultra crystals are great, good hardness(have had mine on for several months with no scratches so far) and they are like 15 bucks for two from their website.
