I thought a thread dedicated to screen protectors would be a great part of the forum, as i am sure many people will be interested in them
Lets all list ours and where they were bought from ie; condition being clear, anti glare etc;
Im looking into boxwave as i did for my wizard even though they are quite expensive
Here's a link to get half price invisible shields
http://www.zagg.com/showspecial
Zagg is the manufacturer of these skins, you can get a full body for $12 with the above link =)
look in cellphones>tmobile>wing
I have this on my ipod and it's great, for now I'm still using the stock tmobile screen protector along with a boxwave armor case. The boxwave case has a hard screen protector to prevent lcd cracks.
If you decide to go with the hard case here is a cheaper place than boxwave:

These are mine:
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.3805
Nothing to complain about... works perfectly, cristal clear and comes with cleaning "cloth" and instructions.... besides... $1.35 + free shipping... really hard to beat that price.
I purchased two of them and the first one still looks like new after lots of stylus usage... some of my friends bought some after seeing mine.
Hope it helps.
Anyone have the invisible shield full body protection?
great suggestions, keep it up everybody
the invisible sheild looks great, may have to try that. the full case is a mere investment at keeping the phone in pristine stock condition without anybody knowing you have it on
however at $1.35 for a crystal clear protector that is at least buying to try.

Hello!
Could you tell me some sites to buy Screen Protectors for TyTN and Trinity?
I am interested for shiping to Greece.
Thanks in advance!
you can find best protectors from ebay
Get a Martin Fields protector, they work really well.
www.martinfields.com
The best IMHO.
http://www.shieldzone.com/
I like the Exim SPUC on ebay. Quite cheap, very very good.
Don't buy cheap ones, they're a bad investment.
Martin Fields are equally great.

I did not have luck with the protector from www.shieldzone.com. Their invisable shield is great but I wouldn't recommend the screen protectors from there.
They are soft and rubbery and get scratched or show creases through normal use of the stylus. They are also harder to put on then others.
I purchased a screen protector on ebay which was much better. I wish I kept the packaging. I do not recall the name. It was made of a harder material then the shieldzone version. It also had a backing of some kind on both sides of the protector which made it easier to apply (more ridged). To apply you would clean the screen...remove one layer...apply the protector then remove the other protective layer. Does this sound familiar? Where can I get this kind again?
another vote for exim SPUC. great screen. Perhaps a bit to clear and thus reflective but still a great cover.
I use the martin fields overlay plus, Its great.
You cna oder it direct from www.overlayplus.com. Delivery was very prompt and you cna pay with paypal.
been using clarivue for a couple years on my dell x51v, wizard, and hermes. you can find them on ebay. Clarivue's are really clear... people tell me they can't notice that there's a screen protector The only issue I have is that they last for 6-8 months if you're a heavy stylus user to enter letters and numbers....
Regarding the Exim screen protectors, is there a big difference between SPUC and SPOC? Preferences?
I am using Boxwave Cleartouch Antiglare. Shipped with no problems from USA. Price: $15.95 including shipping.
Boxwave Antiglare is the best I've tried, and I've tried all of them.
I think a screen protector is pretty subjective. It also depends how much you use your stylus. The InvisibleShield protector is a good protector, but it make your stylus 'drag' -- and you can see the groove in the plastic where you just wrote. It goes away after a few seconds.
I'm going to have to try one of those Martin Fields ones; everyone in here always speaks very highly of them.
I don't see that screen protectors have been discussed recently, so I'm looking for suggestions/experiences for screen only protectors (I'm a flip case kind of gal, so I have no worries about the body).
I'm one of those weirdos who is very careful (and lucky) with cell phones, so I'm looking for something with minimal interference with the screen sensitivity. I'm defecting back after 2 years of using an iPhone without a single scratch on the screen (nor are there any scratches on my 8525 or my Treo or the 8125) in spite of extensive use, and I'm already loving being able to use my fingernails again
I'll greatly appreciate any suggestions/experiences on what's worked well . . . or what hasn't worked. Ease of application is a plus as my 8525 to this day has a tiny bubble I never was able to eliminate . . .
Also, I hope this is an appropriate place to express my gratitude for this forum. When I found it, I was vacillating between the Tilt 2 & the LG eXpo, and comments here nudged me into my decision: I brought my Tilt 2 home yesterday
TIA!
The screen protectors that AT&T sell for the Tilt 2 work really well, are easy to apply, and are a good deal (3 for $10).
I briefly used the AT&T-supplied screen protector. I switched to an eBay full-body protector, but was unhappy with the way it was cut - didn't fit the Tilt2 very well. I replaced that with the BodyGuardz full body protector and it's a much better fit. I recently removed the BodyGuardz screen protector (but still using the body protector) and installed an anti-glare screen protector from Boxwave.
I had no complaints about screen sensitivity with any of them. The original AT&T screen protector and the one from Boxwave feel "slick", are a more rigid plastic and they didn't really adhere to the screen very well around the edges. The ebay one and the BodyGuardz feel a bit "rubbery", adhere better to the screen and any bubbles will work themselves out after a day or so.
I don't really have a preference one over the other - for me it came down to a preference for a less glossy screen.
Hy! You can try and have a look about what other are saying here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605241 or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=571172 or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=594029
In short, there are 3 majors options:
Zagg's Invisible Shield - found here http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-tilt-2-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
Bodyguardz - found here http://www.bodyguardz.com/content/accessories/1-12--2393.htm
Gadget Shieldz - found here http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/att-ti...nvisible-shields-screen-protectors-skins.html
The main difference between them is the price, the first 2 cost 25$ each, but Bodyguardz offers 2 kits and both sellers offer lifetime warranty, third is pretty much the same but whitout the fancy package and alot more cheaper.
Try reading all the topic's I gave you and you will find some discount coupons for each seller. The rest is up to you to decide which one suits you better!
Cheers!
Check out WMExperts store
@ sslund,
I can totally appreciate your minor obsession over the "right" screen protector for your device. When I first recieved my TP2, I was using the crappy Rocketfish iPhone screen protectors that I would cut to size. They provided good scratch protection but there was a lot of color separation, meaning they kind of scintillated a red-green pattern over the display which sucked. I then tried the ATT's offering which I didn't like either.
On a whim I bought these from WMExperts Store and have been very happy with them. I cannot post the link as per forum rules, but search their site for "Smartphone Experts Screen Protectors (3-Pack) for AT&T Tilt2"
They do not scratch unlike some of the cheaper Fellows products, nor are they really even noticeable. They are removable, washable, and can be reapplied, which I've successfully done - as long as you're patient in the drying process so as to not get dust stuck to them (air dry), re-application actually works! I did have to cut the sides down a bit as it was just a hair too wide, but that's more of a personal preference. Since they are removable, I've only used one of the three since I got my TP2 in October.
Of course YMMV, but given em a shot and good luck!
I really like my body guardz. thicker and doesnt have a smuge if i touch it like the one that came with the phone.
I would like to install a new shield on my screen but I can't tell if the original is removable and what the recommended method of removal would be if it is.
Clarivue ultra clears are REALLY nice and clear and tough. They come two to a pack. I cought some from a guy on ebay for like $9 shipped. They were real retail clarivues.

If you are referring to the flimsy protective film that ships on the device? It is removable. Otherwise you would need to try and look through the message that is pre-printed on it.
If you mean the protector that is shipped in the box, well that is also removable if you have attached it.
If you mean ANY screen cover, then the answer is still yes. They are all removable.
Use your finger nail, a toothpick, a credit card, or similar device to pry it off of the screen.
Very simple and rudementary.
I need a clear one, (no anti glare), scratch resistence and it one it needs to be smooth. As I said in the other thread, I have that mirror screen protector and its annoying me so much. I am trying to find one that fits it perfectly (that's one thing I could say that mirror screen protector did right minus the mirror).
Thanks! I was hoping to get one at Amazon since I got a 3 month Prime trial but don't see anything good.
edit: I am willing to get the Amzer Anti-Glare Screen Protector for Verizon Touch Pro 2 if someone knows and likes it too at this point. I really need a screen protector. Thanks again...
edit (again): I am getting a Brando ClearTouch Crystal Screen Protector. Its from Brando but buying through Amazon (have a gift card) so even though I pay for tax/shipping, its not costing me anything. Forgot all about Brando but thanks to this thread I was able to find it.
Brando is good, and the other one I would recommend and I have always had good luck with is the BoxWave crystal series (clear). They also have an anti-glare one, but I like the clear ones better.
http://www.boxwave.com/products/cle...-screen-protector-verizon-touch-pro2_3688.htm
I had one but I didn't like it much..
Does anyone know of any good one I should check out.
Does anyone have reviews on the invisible shield ?
well I can't recommend a good case because mine also isn't very good. As for invisible shield, I don't recommend getting one. It is expensive plus it makes the touch screen harder to use because it isn't smooth like glass. It sorta feels rubbery in a way when you touch it. Try looking for a Vikuiti screen protector for your surround. I don't think there is one yet but when it comes to screen protectors, Vikuiti by 3M is the best I have seen.

If you catch one of the many Zagg sales you can get the invisible shields for 1/2-1/3 off. It's not terribly expensive then. Rubbery feeling not withstanding, the Zagg does offer excellent protection against scuffs and scratches. It also gives you a better grip on the phone and makes it less likely to be dropped if you get the full-body protection. It won't do much for drops if it happens, though. For that you probably need a proper shell. For a belt holster, I'm just using one I picked up at a local closeout retailer for about $4 or so. It works great but probably won't work with a shell on the phone though.
I bought an economic one (rubberized Hard Skin Case - U$3) in ebay. Now is bare and ugly. I do not recommend it.
I bought too 5x Clear LCD Protectors for U$2, and works fine
case
best ones are available for ebay under $10. considering the value of the phone, there is no piont spending anything more
I've been looking at some reviews including a very lengthy one from a couple of years back on Youtube where he tried about NINE different brands (Including anti-glare or crystal from the same manufacturers) and he tried pretty much most of the known brands including Zagg. He did miss out Martin Fields and a few others though.
I've seen the XO skins are pretty easy to apply wet. Much easier than the Zagg.
XO aplication.

Brief thumbs up from someone.

XO skin for TF
http://xoskins.com/laptops-tablet-r...ors/asus-eee-pad-transformer-screen-protector
Large shooutout of various screen protectors. But it's a couple of years old and for a tablet PC rather than pads.
http://www.youtube.com/user/tonkabui#p/u/0/9XdVHL1M7vM
I am going to continue looking. But if anyone finds the perfect screen protector let me know. That XO looks easy to apply. But I want anti-glare and anti-reflectin as well as anti-smudge and 0 bubbles (in other words eacy to apply). Protection from scratches is actually pretty low down my list of wants.
If anyone can post their experiences (good or bad) of various screen protectors please do so here. I noticed there is a reasonably priced TF1010 anti-glare protector made by Posr.us and has two five star reviews on Amazon. Also someone called MFX is making one as well as Martin Fields and SGP Steinheil.
Thanks I needed one still and this looked decent and easy to apply (I prefer the wet application) I bought it and used coupon code "retailmenotxo" for 15% off ... it covered more than the shipping so that was cool.
I put on Skinomi on my beloved transformer. yeah it's a wet app, and I'm not yet skilled in it's application yet, but certainly feel much safer with it on than not - even despite the alleged "scratch resisteance of Gorilla Glass"
well my screen has a scratch only had it a week

Well, scratch resistant =/= scratch proof, so all those people who say Gorilla Glass is the reason why you shouldn't need a screen protector are fooling themselves. I personally have a clearfreak protector on my transformer. It definitely makes me feel more at ease when I use it.
I bought two of the (as far as I can tell) unbranded screen protectors from ElectronicCrap.com. Other than the non-existent directions, I'm quite happy. Not terrible with the fingerprints, reduces the glare, feels and appears quite durable. Price seems a tad steep (given that you can get whole packages of universal ones for like $10) but these fit perfectly edge-to-edge with the cutout for both the light sensor and the camera. It didn't come with directions of any kind but it's a screen protector - it isn't rocket science. I'd say overall it's a keeper.
I picked up a dcmugen antiglare from ebay and I love it. Damp or dry install, the type with the two peel off layers, and repositionable to boot. It ships from Asia, and mine came with a slight crease causing bubbles that cant be flattened. I've requested a replacement, waiting to see if they follow through. So much easy to use indoor and out, and far fewer fingerprints to clean off.

Got a zagg at bestbuy today because I was bored more or less. Installation went well even though the thing stuck to itself. But a few hours later and I'm bubble and wrinkle free nd protected. Now to decide if I want a spg crytal or not....

I bought one as well, but it looked like crap on mine. Hen again im terrible at applying these things. I usually let Verizon put screen protectors on my phone.
Has anyone tried the skin protector from PhantomSkinz? I have their carbon fiber back skin and it looks great and is durable
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
My experience with Zagg has been mixed with all my devices but their customer support is good. If you get a bad protector(line down middle, or little imperfections) they will send you another.
The XO skin looked very promising, and for $10 cheaper I thought I would give it a shot. Just placed an order for the XO skin.
Use discount code retailmenotxo for $3 off(free shipping pretty much)
Pulled the trigger on an XO
after watching all the youtube reviews, i decided that the XO looked best.
ordered one this morning.
just a thanks to all the folks responsible for putting the links and testing together in one place for time-challenged guys like me.
btw, i think the transformer is one of the smartest purchases i've made in the last few years. i'm thoroughly enjoying it.

Following up on my earlier post. Installed the XO skin in my university's clean room(0 dust, yes I wore the cleanroom suit) and it has streaks. The protector quality is very good but once you put it on there are visible streaks all over. I kept the applicator wet so there would not be "burn marks" as specified by the instructions.
Going to ask for a refund... maybe I'll give Zagg another try. My first ZuneHD protector was wonderful but the 2nd one I got had a big line down it(bad QC).
The perfect screen protector
I always have problems applying the screen protectors to any of my devices, so I did some research and decided to go with one made by a company called Aurum. The deciding factor was that it had a large cut out for my camera so its easier to apply. Overall, I am very happy. I got the two pack in case I messed up the first one.
http://www.amazon.com/Asus-Eee-Pad-...4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1308242480&sr=1-4
I dont think I will ever buy the wet applicator types again, the dry is just simpler and gives me choices in whether I want a clear or the anti-glare. Hope this helps
Here is the link to the anti-glare offered by Aurum in case anyone is interested: http://www.amazon.com/Transformer-M...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1311083745&sr=1-1
I usually get Bodyguardz for all my gadgets (mostly phones). It just feels better than Zagg's invisible shield and other screen protectors.
Anyone tried using Bodyguardz? I'm thinking about getting either the full body protector or just the screen protector. Hmmm this is tough.
Following up... after 24 hours drying/curing it looks much more acceptable. The funny part is there is a tiny black spec under the protector. I don't know how it got there since I was in a cleanroom!
Found this one in Amazon, similar to the Aurum with anti-glare.
Anyone has used this ? Is this any good ?
HandHelditems - Anti-Fingerprint, Anti-Glare, Matte Finishing Screen Protector (3 Pack) (Free HandHelditems Sketch Universal Stylus Pen)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0056K5D0G/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=A1NOY9EOR8TXD6
Hmmm... I have previously considered to buy it too, but I've seen the Gorilla Glas Test with the Transformer in a YouTube video... you dont need a screen protector
I just got a screen protector from Photodon. Their MXA film is great. It was a bit of work to put it on with no dust and correctly aligned. But once it's on it looks pretty good. It's got a glossy finish, so it looks just like the original screen. You can hardly tell that there is a screen protector on the transformer. It is pricey at almost $20.00 each, ut the screen is still sharp and crystal clear with none of the haze that a lot of cheap screen protectors have.

I used to have Bodyguards for my HTC Touch Pro and it peeled after three months both times that I used them. Now I use Phantom Skinz and I get no orange peel effect and I've had one on my HTC Evo 4G for almost 1 1/2 years with no peeling and no orange peel effect. Smooth as glass and you can't even tell it's on there.
Now I have Phantom Skinz screen protector on my TF and Phantom Skinz Chromatics white carbon skin for the back side. Very nice to say the least.
I would highly recommend a screen protector for the TF because although it has Cornings Gorilla glass, it sux for finger prints and fingerprints are easier to wipe off of a sceen protector than the Gorilla glass.
im using the steinheil Ultra Crystal. also use it on my phone.
