What's the best screen protector for this phone? I've tryed the IPG Shield (a copy of ZAGG) but it isn't very good !
lexard's truevue is great.
I tried invisible shield, it was hard to apply, and I also didn't like the sticky feel.
if you like more traditional screen protectors try Lexard.
Their films are super thin (which also makes the application a bit hard.
also the adhesive under the film don't quite reach the very edges of the film.
but if you carefully apply these are great. they don't scratch easily and look fantastic.
in both glossy and anti glare.

I tried Zagg invisible shield, and its great, yesterday I have accidentally rub/hit my phone to a un-finished wall(rough wall). I was amazed that the phone does not have any scratch on it. with that much force and friction, I though that I need to replace the invisible shield or worse My phone would have a large scratch/dent on it. but my phone and the shield survive without a scratch. Is it because of invisible shield or It was just my lucky day.
anyway, I recommend it for any phone. If youre going to protect your phone, better protect it with good protector. unless you only need to protect it against smudges.
You can protect your phone with a normal screen protector but in the end of the day, those one with good screen protector will ensure that your phone will survive accidents like what I have.
by the way, there is a local retailer here on our country(philippines), and they will also install the shield once you bought it from them. so the installation (hard part) will be on them, while you should check after the installation if they install it properly.
have a look on ebay. I bought mine from there and I think there were 3 in the pack. I don't remember the manufacturer, but it's done a great job and doesn't affect the touchscreen in any negative way. I cut the spare ones to fit the screens of two digital cameras I have.
Now that's value for money
i think the original screen-protector is the best
I wanted to get one but could never find anything good, tried those "cut-to-fit" = FAIL
Went on a trip to Shanghai and was looking... couldnt find.... but then...
I found the perfect protector, Sony Camera 2.7 inch display protector.
These are made for Sony Cameras, the display, but work extra perfect and really are durable and have a good feel.
What's the best for glare tho? I find the mini screen a real pain outdoors on a sunny day, I am not so concerned with protection as my leather clamshell case will protect the whole phone from drops and scratches.. I just want the best out door functionality. (or perhaps no screen protector would be best?)

Here you can order one. Look at the picture it says sony.
Worldwide shipping, just orderd one myself.
Zagg Invisible Sheild Maximum Protection is the beast of Protection against scratches, nicks etc
I had it for a year, once my mini had fallen dead spot on the screen, no visible scratches at all. L
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
you can also go with screen coverage only, but for a few bucks I'd rather buy the maximum coverage.
I currently have Maximum coverage covering only the front of the phone, leaving the back unprotected. Back covers are cheap to find, and it's nicer with that gloss original finish.
I second the Zagg Invisible Sheild Maximum Protection as it has worked really great for me.
nice, i'll look for it
I have invisible shield too. The first one unstucked after 6 months around top left sensors (mimmi). It was replaced for free.

I've just ordered an MDA Vario and it's going to take a little time to reach me (I'm not currently in the UK). Before it gets here I'm trying to work out which screen protector to buy. Has anyone tried the Invisible Shield protector? The material looks superb and I've read load of good things about their performance on iPods.
My current PDA is a Tungsten T3 and I have a Martin Fields screen protector on it. (MF protector for Wizard here).
I love the MF but am really interested in hearing experiences with the IS if anyone on these forums has tried it.
Yeah i want one too but was wondering, do they leave any marks when you peel them off afterwards? From the glue and stuff?
Quality screen protectors like Martin Fields and the IS should leave nothing behind after they're removed.
I think brando screen protector is not bad too. Im currently using it.
I have change 2 screen protector since I got my wizard.
- Expansys, Cant fit in properly. Bubble occur after stick in.
i've tried 3 different screen protectors, then i used pocketpctechs AG shield and i'm not gonna try anything else. It's perfect, reusable, no glue is used and installation is pretty simple. also it comes with screen cleaners and all that. highly recommended
For me brando's would be ok. I usually have the store person do the application since I can't do it on my own [I messed up 2 protectors when I tried doing it at home]. I'd say choose one that isn't adhesive but static that way no residue is left on the screen when you remove it. also most of them are washable/reusable... if you find a scratch on the side you use most often [i.e. the area along the SIP] just have it removed and re-installed reversed [not the face but the top and bottom].
The Brando ultraclear is OK. If you prefer a non-glossy one, the Brando regular is perfect (you will lose a bit of brightness).
I like www.boxwave.com 's version
They have a anti-glare, and a regular one, they are washable you can remove them and wash them under soap and water and reapply, they come with cloth cleaner, and a little scraper thing that helps get the bubbles out.
Here's a super cheap solution, and it works GREAT for me.
I went to Staples and bought a package of baseball card protector pages that are designed to fit into a 3-ring binder. The size of each card holder is just slightly larger than the screen on the MDA.
What I did was take a straight edge and X-Acto knife and cut a small piece of plastic that is a couple millimeters larger than the screen on each side. I simply tuck the plastic I've trimmed under the lip between the device and screen, and it holds in place just fine.
No adhesive, no mess, easy as pie, and the entire package of plastic sleeves was less than 3 bucks. It will surely last longer than the life of the device.

Got my second Brando regular protector (first one wasn't returned when my magician was replaced). Fits perfect, very scratch-resistant & the anti-glare is very useful while navigating in the car.
Cheers, M

Same here.. I have used BoxWave, wich are also very good, but WriteShields from pocketpctechs are great.
I also had an "InvivibleShield" on my 8125 for a couple minutes. I installed it and saw that it was not plum on, so I went to take it off and reinstall.. When I removed it I thought I was going to pull my screen up with the protector. Stay away from those things... I then tested those claims they make on the website, about being indestructible. Pens had no trouble getting through, and scissors went through like soft butter.
$.02
I bought a boxwave and was not happy with the glare free one. I have used them on my Treos and liked them, but the one that came for my wizard sucked. It really blurred the screen and made it look like a prism. Maybe it was defective, but I ended up buying another one from javoedge and I am quite happy with it.
just my $.02

I also got an anti-glare from boxware, it does have issues however I emailed them about it and they are getting a new one that doesn't have the issues and they should have it in about a week. To make it even better they created a gift order for the new one for me.
I've tried a number of the commercial screen protectors in the past and wasn't happy with any of them. Of course, there is the ridiculous cost for a little piece of plastic.
The best solution I have found is to use clear vinyl sheeting that you can find at any fabric store, typically for a couple of dollars US per yard. Just cut to fit your screen, clean your screen, wash your hands and vinyl rectangle with liquid hand soap, shake off as much water as possible (but not all), and attach and smooth out bubbles.
Benefits:
- Minimal screen image degradation as compared to many commercial screen protectors
- No adhesives to gunk up the screen
- Lasts 6 months or so
- Easy to replace
- Costs about a nickle per cover
I also have the pocketpctechs write shield anti-glare.
Comes in a nice kit, can't tell its there when the screen is on.

I bought mine from www.nushield.com, but I haven´t been able to apply the first one to my screen.
I´ve used them on my Handspring Visor Edge and on my Himalaya with very good results, but on the Wizard, I just can´t get it installed. Will keep you posted!

Brando screen protector, Boxwave and Martin Fields are my favorites!
I've heard a lot about this Brando, but it is a bit too expensive for me for a piece of plastic. I think they are selling for GBP7+ in eBay. I wonder, is it so good? I've been looking for those 'card' type screen protector that is ultra easy to apply and bubble free because the protector itself feels like a card. Imagine, since the protector is like a card, it is impossible to get bubble under it. Anyone know where in the net I can get one card type for UK??
BTW, I've bought the 'Sensifilm' protector from eBay. It said many things, but of the two thing, antiglare and antiscractch is 100% bluff. Mine still give me glare and it has been scratched like mad with my stylus. Either the HTC is very bad in designing a stylus, or the screen protector is terribly weak. I think the weak protector is a more likely answer.
30$ for a screen protector. That is so silly. I got a protector for my psp for 6$ and it works great. Geez, pocketpctechs is a rip.
Cant i get some from a local store instead?
I can highly recommend Brando UltraClear too! Easy to attach, not visible when attached carefully, no reduction of brightness - display looks like without one (for those who do not like the reflection of the display: buy the Brando classic).
Regards
Carsten
Hey everyone,
looking for a great screen protector that helps with the glare issue and viewing angles. I'm not expecting wonders but anything to help. Hate the fact I see reflection on screen sometimes. Any info would be great. Thanks

How about checking the Skinomi thread in this very first page of this section ?
I just orderded some screen protectors from ebay hong kong. 11.99 for 3. ill let you know how they work.
Good Screen Protector
Ordered one from Amazon made by Aurum(do a search). It came quickly and I am very happy with it, wished I waited a few days, they have a deal going on with it.
It says its made from Japanese PET, in my experience it is better than those "military" strength ones like Zagg etc(bad evo 4g experience). This one has a dry application and protected on both top and bottom by covers (a protector for the protector). Ships from the US.
I have the Skinomi. I'm happy with it, but it does not appear to help with glare or screen angles (though, honestly, I only used it for a few minutes before installing the protector).

Go with the Skinomi one. It's cheap (relatively if you consider lifetime free replacement) and if you don't botch the installation it looks fantastic. And... you don't have to wait three weeks for something to come from China.
Don't get me wrong, I buy stuff from China sometimes but only when I can't get it here or if it's a lot more money to get it from here.
Anyone have recommendations for screen protectors? Looking for helping with anti glare and no finger prints on it. Any info would be great. Thank for all the feedback so far.

The Skinomi one requires a WET application, that then has to dry, do you really want to spray some liquid on your new g-tab? I tried this on my Evo installation was a pain but then my fingers got stuck scrolling, so I learned my lesson and stick to the PET material which has a silicone coating for smooth movement
Aurum Screen Protector
You are right, I have the Aurum one from Amazon on my G-tablet, and there are no holes, but I do not see a difference in camera performance. The protector covers bezel to bezel. I've used the camera with and without the protector, all I know is that it is as grainy before as it was after the Aurum screen protector. I do not use the camera(I really do not need anyone getting scared looking at me) so it's fine by me, it the smoothness of movement that matters.
just my $0.02, but why not use the one by Zagg....?..

Thanks for the info, Traderny. Would you say that the Aurum screen protector allows for smoother gliding movements than the unprotected GTab screen? I'm hoping to find something that provides a nice swipe feel. Too often my fingers would "stick" to the naked screen or (less so, but still) the Skinomi protector.
My .2 cents

Wet application screen protectors have been around for a while and it has been shown to not be an issue if you follow the directions on installation. There are thousands of people that have used wet installation screen protectors here in the gTab forums that have reported no residual issues with the gTab during/after application.
Also, you don't spray liquid on the gTab, rather you're supposed to spray the liquid on both sides of the screen protector before application and dab up the excess liquid as you work it to the edges with the provided plastic card.
I've used both PET and this style of screen protectors on devices before and I prefer this over the PET as I have found the PET style protectors to be too shiny for my tastes.
Among the most helpful reviews for the PET protector on Amazon there are these comments:
1.) Good product, but a pain to put on. Just the slightest piece of dust will cause an air bubble.
2.) According to the packaging, this item is "Finger print free" and "Bubble free application". I experienced both. I would NEVER purchase this product again or recommend it.
Just goes to show you that people will find something to complain about no matter what the product is.
Protectors Protect
My experience with screen protectors on cell phones is that they are only good to protect the screen from damage. All of them will show fingerprints, smudges, grease and oil. This is esp. true with a touch screen. it's like wearing glasses you got to clean them alot. So save time money and headache by putting a microfiber cloth in the bag with your Gtab.
I went with the Exim anti-glare screen protectors, but did have to wait for shipping from China. I bought a complete skinomi skin set, and promptly botched the wet application of the screen protector, but since I wanted the anti-glare it just meant a week wait for the Chinese Air Mail which I had already ordered.
Overall I like the Exim, it was easy to install without any bubbles, though you might want to trim the corners a bit as its a very tight fit. I ended up cutting them off after applying it because I had the screen on perfectly without a single dust mote making a raised area. I don't mind a poorly cut corner, but do wish I had just done a quick trimming beforehand as I wasn't perfectly centered.
2 for $12.99... Was worth the wait.
Hey Naieve,
does it really help with the anti glare issue? Also does it have any issues with the touch screen interface? Is the screen protector to thick that it doesnt detect your finger movement on the screen? Any help on the finger print issues haha?
It helps some with the glare, definitely diffuses the light, but it looks more like a compromise in between a clear protector and some of the very heavy anti-glare screen protectors I've seen. I like it because of this actually. As to issues with the touch screen, I spent some time googling before buying, and while I forget where I read it the fact is there is no difference while using this protector. Even a light touch still works just fine. I wonder if that is the reason this AG protector diffuses less light, as I have heard of some AG protectors being too thick and screwing up touch. It does still show fingeprints, but its not that bad and is easy to clean. Definitely less noticeable than just the screen itself.

I said I would update once my Aurum arrived. Like others have mentioned, there is no cutout for the camera or sensor - I don't know what effect that has nor do I really care. I never use the camera anyway.
The protector itself fits perfectly on the screen - it is so perfect that I had trouble aligning it properly and i would get halfway done installing it and notice it was running off the side of the screen slightly.
It took a few minutes to install because I did want it to be perfect. Now that it is installed I am really happy with it. My fingers slide better across the screen and there are far less fingerprints. I am happy with my purchase.
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 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.

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 ?

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.
Hello , I bought the invisible shield 2 weeks ago
And im very disappointment , the touch not good , not smooth
Alot of Dust and dirt even after 2 with no use
Alot Of fingrprints
There is screen protector that really do the job?
Of course there is a good protector: XTREME GUARD
I love the Skinomi. It's cut yo for the dock as well. Very smooth to the touch bit shows the glare quite a bit. The feel is much more important to me so it was an easy tradeoff.

as far as screen protectors go i actually LIKE invisible shield. It does the job well and tends to be (in my area anyways) less expensive. its also damn near indistructable so when im doing construction my phone screen doesnt take a beating (gorilla glass has three scratches from before i put the IS on it)
as for on the prime, ya it adds a bit of texture. there are thinner variations of the same material that do pretty much the same thing. You are looking for one that has an oileophobic coating on it to repel fingerprints (like the glass on the prime has), i know they make them i just cant think of the brand right now.... Some special brand i think you can only special order them. Not sure on quality but the oileophobic ones are definately what you want for fingerprints.
Theres also those kiosks that started popping up everywhere, forget their name like skreenguard or stealthguard or something, the material is very thin but its the same stuff... It would likely feel smoother because its thinner but its also more expensive. Usually they have devices around the kiosk that have the material on them, you can judge for yourself if you like it or not.
Honestly nothing is going to feel exactly like glass. There are some that are close however IMO they offer less protection. Try looking at friends phones and asking what kind of screen protector they have on them, go to the various cell phone booths in your area and talk to the guys there. When you find a brand you like the feel of it then see if you can get a sheet big enough for the prime.
Another trick: you dont HAVE to get a screen protector designed specifically for the prime. On the back of my tablet to prevent scratching i have a SP designed for the galaxy tab. On the front i used one for the TF101 and (carefully, with an extremely sharp set of scissors and knife and a LOT of patience) cut out for the dock connector. Saved myself nearly $50 doing it this way since they were both on clearance when i bought em. They are not a perfect fit but close enough for my needs.
I've tried the ArmorSuit, Skinomi and ACase screen protectors.
My personal favorite is the dry apply (there are two different types) ACase screen protectors.
They are about as close to clear and invisible, once applied, as any screen protector I've ever used. They also don't have any texture or orange peel to them.
You also get three to a pack, but I'd probably recommend them even if it was only for one protector in a pack.
(Make sure to purchase the dry apply version)
Hey all, I know this is probably the same order that everyone else is looking for, but I also know that new product is released probably every week. I'm looking for a dry film that I can buy for relatively cheap (>$15 at the absolute maximum but usually not willing to spend more than $9) for the regular S7. I use a Spigen Neo Hybrid with the lip around the front so it has to be case friendly or at least work with that case. Also, I would prefer it especially for film if I at least got multiples in a pack, if I wanted to spend $10 on one protector I'd just try fiddling with glass again.
I'm currently using the Spigen Curved Crystal which is almost disgustingly brittle and scratches too easily. If this was just more durable it would be perfect. It always seems like there's one major drawback for every product so far.
Also, please don't suggest wet-apply ones like ArmorSuit, IQ, etc. I've tried them, and even in a steamed room I always end up with dust underneath, and at least with the dry ones I can get it with tape. With the wet ones no matter what I use - tape, even my own fingers with solution on it, I can't get it out and just cause more to go in. No more wet protectors, I can't do them. The reason I had to pass on the Edge which I otherwise liked more was because the only protectors that work for it are wet apply and I know I can't put them on.

Sadly Only Wet Install Films are of decent quality on the S7 Flat. For wet install, just take a bath with the shower, there should be steam in the bathroom after that. You can then proceed to install it on the restroom, don't worry about moisture as the S7 is IP68 Certified
i use them soft TPU screen protectors that you need to apply without water just like them old screen protectors. i buy them of aliexpress for like 75 cents a piece. I can give you a few tips for when your installing it like make your hands a bit wet so no dust comes off and only pull down a little bit of the plastic so you can line it up and then pull of the rest.
I tried so many screen protectors but most of them glass one's are fingerprint magnetes so thats why i use them soft one.s

I love it! Think they are way better then those old plastic screen protectors. They feel better when you swipe over the screen and when i first put it on my screen i had lots of small bubbles that where impossible to remove but after a day or 2 they where gone by them selfs and love the abti fingerprint coating. So overal im very happy with this one and not bad for a buck 50 and it came with a screen protector for the back side also.
Anything on Amazon. I went through 5 different protectors before I found one that was actually edge to edge.
