The Carbon fiber backing is decent, but the screen protector is garbage. One of the corners looks like it was hand cut, and the whole thing doesn't fit properly. If the protector is aligned properly to the camera and light sensor, the whole thing is shifted too far to the left, leaving about 5mm uncovered on the right, and the protector hanging over the left side of the tablet.

really? you can't even tell that mine has the skinomi screen protector installed. There's a 1mm gap on left and .5mm gap on right side. Bottom and top are almost perfect.
Email them a picture they will mail you another on free of charge! Actually they will without the picture but the picture will help them to correct the issue

I will never buy another Skinomi screen protector, they're like memory foam... every time you touch the screen even lightly, it leaves a permanent imprint. They're terrible...

I just got mine, and for the most part it looks great. The corner pieces, however, weren't angled quite right so they ended up being wrinkled. I sent them an email to see if they can send me out some replacements. The cover still has a bunch of bubbles in it, but I know that takes a couple days to fully work out. I have one on my OG Transformer and it looks great.

you're supposed to install the corners with a blow dryer or heat gun. It's the only way to make it fit perfectly or else you have wrinkles. It's in the instructions video
Tried that, no dice. I'm missing pieces anyways. Hopefully they'll send out new ones.
Just installed mines. Not happy with it. Carbon fiber skin was already loose when I received the package. As others mentioned before, some areas are not cut out properly. Definitely not worth the money.
Going to wait a few more days to see how the screen protector holds up but not going to expect much.
It fits with the dock but I am not sure how much can the carbon fiber skin can take.
Hope SGP have something soon.
Again they have the best customer service and will send you more until you are satisfied!

Installed the carbon fiber skin and tech skin screen protector today. I't came out OK....
The Carbon fiber main piece on the back cover went on *slightly* skewed- did not notice until I put the trimmings on, and once the skin had stuck onto the metal backing, I was not gonna try and peel it back off- the adhesive is rather tough once it sticks onto the backplate. I used a hair Dryer on hot setting to soften the skin on the corners- they melted like jello and fit into the corners perfectly.
All, and all I am pretty satisfied with how it turned out... other than the slight skew all is well.
As for the screen protector, I drenched both sides with the solution and it went down like butter. No micro bubbles and it is only 1 hour after the install... there is still some solution underneath the skin, but I think it will clear up over a day or so. The alignment of the skin and the cutouts for the camera lined up without issue.
There is also what looks like a hairline scratch on the skin from when using the squeegee to remove the bubbles. You can see it when you look on an angle-
The website says the skin is self healing... Does anyone know if this will go away??
Edit: after some time I now see air bubbles and some streaks under the screen protector- It's not looking good at all- I hope all this will go away like they say within 3 days or I may have to remove it.

Ok, I just wanted to update the above post for others that are considering the Skinomi- 2 days later, it is better, but some imperfections remain.
Be patient... It will look really bad at first, and i hope screen will completely clear up over time. I kept mine turned off for 6 hours after applying. Good Luck to others!
I bought the dry screen protector and skin. Only installed the screen protector so far. It was hard to get just right because you don't get the sliding motion you get with wet. But I started at the top right corner, then laided enough to go to the bottom right, then peeled wax paper to lay across the screen. I was scared at first because I had a lot of bubbles. I use the card to get most of the bubbles out I could then said F It. Been one day so far and most (90%) of the bubbles are gone! I'm impressed. I see 2 spots where lint got under the screen but they are on the bezel. Camera and light sensor hole lined-up OK (a little off-centered to the left of hole but not obstructed by the protector at all.) Oh it's not a fingerprint magnet. May have them send ma another to try again.
Will try skin tonight

Looks pretty good to me.
i thought i was the only one whom didnt like the screen protector.
but i hated the screen protector as so many bubbles never went away and you can feel the screen protector. (i did wait 3 days and only 5% of the bubbles went away)
the carbon cover does look good though, but the corners never stuck and are wrinkled. but they dont bother me.

I literally used the entire bottle of spray solution on the front screen protector before I applied it while it took me an hour lol or so to shimmy out the liquid solution bubbles and air pockets. Bubbles disappeared the next two days. I applied light heat gun usage over the corners as they melted in to place. PITA to do though

I have a question for all of you who are using shields for our device, from your experience which one is the best?
I mean the most scratch resistant but whitout affecting the sensibility of the touch screen.
I have these 3 models in mind:
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-touch-pro-2-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php - Zagg's invisible shield which is the most expensive
http://www.bodyguardz.com/content/accessories/26---2249.htm - Bodyguardz which is the same price as Zagg's but offers 2 sets
http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/att-ti...nvisible-shields-screen-protectors-skins.html - the cheapest one
May help
I am sorry but I personally have no experience with Bodyguardz what-so-ever. I have used an invisible shield on an iPhone, but it was a very short time. However, I have a GadgetShieldz installed on my Tilt 2 and had one on two of my Fuze's. I think for the price the GadgetShieldz has been a great investment, but do be warned with any of these the screen (I imagine the other two are like this) will have a "drag". With the stock screen protect your finger fluidly slides around. With the GadgetShieldz I do tend to apply more pressure because my skin drags with the surface of the shield, but my screen is still very responsive and works just as it did without. I use the Swype keyboard for my input method and once I adjust to the shield it was like normal. Using the stylus is a bit harder because you cannot simply drag it, but if you learn the right amount of pressure needed this is not an issue.
The back is still kind of slick but better than stock, and I feel less worried now setting my phone down not so scared that it will scratch up that shiny back, ya know!
At 6.99 I recommend the product! There was a 15% off code on my thread also.
Edit: Please check this thread there is a 15% and 20% code posted! Enjoy!
I know about the discount, I posted the 20% one
But the main problem is that is only made for carriers branded phones and not for the unbranded european T7373 which I have
Zagg had 50% off EVERYTHING about a week ago, but I decided I don't need the shield since it's just FRONT & BACK.
So what more did you wanted if full body coverage is not enough? If you check the photo you'll see that on the back shield it has also side protection, at least that's what I understand http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-touch-pro-2-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
I saw that promotion on Zagg but from what I read the invisible shield somehow makes the tocuh screen harder to use, it tends to be more rubberish
I have not tried Bodyguardz either but I've tried Invisiblesheild on many of my phones and currently have the Gadgetshieldz on my Tilt 2. At the moment I have the Invisiblesheild on my Fuze. I was just holding both phones and trying to feel the difference between the two. To be quite honest the only difference I've noticed is the the Invisiblesheild is a little more "grippy" than the Gadgetshieldz. Other than that there is not much of a difference.
The Gadgetsheildz was less than $6 (with shipping) while the Invisiblesheild was almost $30. I would go with a couple of Gadgetshieldz.

No, as a whole the Invisiblesheild is more grippy. Front, back, sides, all.

Don't get the Invisiblesheild!
I also purchased the Invisiblesheild for the Tilt2 as well, which came in yesterday. I noticed that the Invisiblesheild DOES NOT provide protection for the front sides. The Gadgetsheildz does. This is pathetic. It costs almost 5 times as much and it doesn't cover some of the most easily damaged areas? Eff that!
Seriously, do yourself a favor and go with the gadgetsheldz, I'm going to complain to Invisiblesheilds.
Best of both worlds
I have found the option that is working best for me
I am using phantom skinz for full body and reuseable screen protector for the screen.
I was planning to put phantom skinz on the screen as well, but once i applied it on the back cover i didn't want to have the draggy feeling on the screen so i went with stock screen protector. I also got reusable PET screen protectors like the Boxwave ones for smooth screen feel.
The other think that i was worried about phantom skinz(and invisible shields, bodyguradz etc) is removing it from the delicate resistive tp2 screen.
So for me phantom skin for body + PET screen protector for screen works out to be perfect.
Hope this helps
Thanks deeken for the pictures, it looks really nice with the GadgetShieldz, I'm definetly going to buy 2 of these in case I don't get it wright from the first attempt, but that would still be chaper than anything else, also using the 20% coupon.
The only problem is they release a shield for the standard model which I have
I declare myself satisfied and convinced with GadgetShieldz.
Zagg
Been using zag product from every new device i buy. 3 Reason why
1)life time warranty
2)The case can take a beating and never show that it been threw a lot. had my zagg shield on since i bought my device back in October and people alway say to me
"you should get a case for this phone before it get scratches up did you just get it?"(They cant notice the protective plastic).
3)It's worth the money, buying cheap plastic protective for your phone over and over again going to add up to the price of 1 zagg case.
I see alot of people saying that the zagg do not cover your entire phone. All i have to say is what are you talking about??

It does provide protection for the front side. My whole T-mobile touch pro 2 cover with the shield. I guess u can't see the cut out that they made when u receive it or you probably just purchase the back protection not the the full protection.

There is NO SIDE PROTECTION for the AT&T Tilt 2. I have this thing in my hand and I can tell you for a fact that they skimped out for the Tilt 2. The cutout is only 3 pieces. One for the front and 2 for the back. Nothing for the sides. I called them on Thursday and complained about this. They customer service rep said he will send an email to the developers to see why they neglected to provide coverage for the sides.
As I stated in my earlier posts I have been using Invisiblesheilds for several of my devices. They are expensive and not worth the money in my opinion. As far as lifetime warranty, you could get 3 gadgetsheildz (which is almost 1/2 the price of one Invisiblesheild) which should last you the life of the phone.
there is no side protection for the verizon touch pro2 either. zagg stated that some people complained about issues removing it when it covered the sides or something like that? so they cut off the surround protection on a lot of the american versions (if not all of them)
i got the bestskinsever.com shield for my sprint touch pro 2 and here are my comments:
- the back cover shield is very nicely done. it covers it edge to edge and has cutouts for all mic holes and the big section of speaker holes in the middle.
- the front pieces are much more problematic and i'm not sure what they were thinking.
the front comes in four pieces plus the screen. I didn't use the screen part so can't comment on that.
the top piece (above the screen) look like it is cut to cover the front surface of the top frame since it is shaped to fit exactly around the curve of the screen. however, it is just a bit longer than necessary so they hang like 1mm over the edge if you put it right up against the edge of the screen. this overhang is too little to stay in place if you bend it down onto the side. i ended up trying a few different positions and ended up shifting it down further onto the side, just above the power button (there is no cutout for the button), but this leaves a gap between the screen and the shield on the front and most of the top is left uncovered except for the sliver between the button and the edge.
the bottom piece has similar problems. you can tell that they only want you to have a slight 2mm overhang over the edge because there is a cutout for the mic right there which would not reach the mic if you placed it flush with the screen. again, there is an exposed gap between the screen and shield and also of the bottom side of the phone.
there are two long, narrow rectangular pieces for the sides. again, they are not wide enough to fully cover the side frame area. if put flush to the screen, they leave a lot of side exposed. i ended up putting it somewhat in the middle. i also had problems positioning them to fit properly between the top and bottom pieces because they are too narrow to stay down when using water. i had to do them over and over and ended up trimming the ends a bit with scissors, but still ended up with some gaps between the top and bottom.
there is really no protection on the corners of the phone on the front side, which is really the most critical for protecting against drops. the tiny bit of overhang on the front pieces are too small to stay down when using the soap and water application method so i had to peel them and start over several times using no water, so they are already not sticking well and are coming off in the corners. the multiple pieces that are hard to position exactly flush with each other and the fact that they do not fit to the edges of the front seams add many more "edges" where there should be none and this really ruins the smooth tactile feel of the phone.
so, i like the back but the design of the front pieces is bad. I'll be providing feedback to them and hopefully they can revise their design.
I haven't tried the others, but am fairly happy with the BodyGuardz. The fit on the Tilt2 is excellent. I recently removed the BodyGuardz screen protector and put on a non-glare screen protector from BoxWave. I didn't find the "rubbery" feel of the BodyGuardz was a problem at all for using the touch screen, I just wanted a less glossy screen.
After two months, the side pieces (that cover the chrome bezel on my Tilt2) are starting to come loose at the corners, and I trim them a little bit as they do so. It's probably due to carrying the phone in my pocket most of the time. I'd like to get a Seidio spring clip holster, but it looks like the one they're currently selling is for the CDMA Rhodiums.
I still have the second set of BodyGuardz protectors, I'll probably wait until I find a good holster and then put them on.
ordered my Zagg Full body 2 days ago, was 35% Off
Got one from the only thread I could find on screen protectors here on XDA. It was really bad. It did not fit perfectly no matter how many times I tried to do it. No matter how you place it one side will be a little too long (just a tad) so you have to actually manually cut the screen protector making it less attractive and not giving it as rounded edges as one out of a box.
Has anyone gotten a good screen protector for their Transformer yet?
I get all my screen protectors and skinz from Phantom Skinz. The one for the TF is very good and fits just right. Once you place it on there and the bubbles have dissipated there is still a clear protective cap sheet that you pull off. Once you do that you can't even tell that it's there. The glass of the TF is a major fingerprint magnet and with this skin they wipe right off. Also there isn't any orange peel effect with the Phantom Skinz. You also might consider the Chromatics to give it a sleek look to it. I bought the carbon fiber white and it looks siiik.
I have an SGP and it is awesome.
get XOskins. wait a few days to getthe bubbles out.
try clearprotector.com
40% off with coupon code: military
its a water based application but IMO, better than phantomskins,zaggs, invisible shield
its ALOT thinner @ 2mm, just becareful applying, do not stretch the rubber, and slowly Squeeze all the soapy water out with a light rag. i had mine placed really well, except i got a little piece of hair stuck under the screen. Oh well, it can never ever be perfect
This is the one I ordered: http://amzn.to/ormCyH
The one thing I hated about the TF101 is how badly it attracts smudges and how much glare it has. ^ That thing did the trick, plus it makes it easier to glide my finger somehow.

I bought an SGP Ultra Fine (matte) and the cut is as great as it is on the other devices i've bought it for (evo and epic)
Might be a little bit on the pricey side compared to some of the other offerings but i much prefer hard dry apply screen protectors over the soft wet apply ones, or even soft dry apply ones
I read on the forums sometimes ago that there was some sort of chemical/cleaner that you could apply on the transformer's screen and it would greatly reduce fingerprints (but the screen would still be glossy). Anyone recall what I'm talking about?

I have been using the Clear Freak screen protector and I am very happy with it. It is the anti reflective cover.
Here are some shots of the SGP Ultra Fine (matte) installed on my TF. The fitment is just about perfect with a tiny gap on the right side as i've installed it, could have made it even less noticeable by moving it towards the right a bit more, as it is right now its sitting right up against the left edge.
I tried the skinomi protector but as i am a flicker the grippy surface for a lot of the soft type screen protectors left a lot of streaks from my fingers in addition to making it hard to flick. The texture on this is extremely fine making the surface very smooth. The last shot was my best attempt at illustrating the slight loss of clarity you get with this and any kind of matte screen protector. It is noticeable but over time i got used to it.

Where did you get it installed at?
Hi, I've had good success with the great shield anti-glare screen protector. For $13 (with shipping) you get 3 of them.
The matte finish is very fine, and it doesn't distort your colours as much as others that I've used. I had an official Nook Color for my Nook Color (when I had it), and the quality was comparable.
The only issue is that the measurements for the height of this protector are precisely the same as the screen, which makes it impossible to align correctly. If it's not aligned correctly, you'll get bubbles on the edges, or some lift off. I have only one spot, which is where the camera is, however, I have a RooCase that covers it up, so I can't see it flaw.
Other than that, it's a great price and it's very good.

I got my TF from somebody used and they had put a Zagg on it. The receipt was still in the box - $30. And he totally screwed it up. Several bubbles (a couple of large ones) and terrible orange peel. I really can't stand the Zagg protectors. Not only do you risk water damage (very small risk if you have common sense, I know - but not all Best Buy installers really have that much care for your device) but they are fairly "sticky" because of the rubbery finish on them. I got a cheap protector for my Evo on Ebay over a year ago and it's still perfect, that's what I'll be shopping for now for my TF.
IMHO, the only use of a protector on Gorilla Glass is for smudge/fingerprint resistance. The high-end protector market is raking in a lot of unnecessary money. Totally just my opinion, of course.
I just received and installed my SGP UltraFine anti-glare protetor on my Transformer... Very nice. Mild pixelation effection on white screens, but the glare and fingerprints are reduced greatly. Even when the screen does get some marks on it, wiping with a dry cloth cleans it up very easily.
Plus, it allows your finger to slide across the screen better than the naked glass does. Big improvement!
FYI - I originally bought (3) $5.99 anti-glare protectors on Ebay and they were actually too big - the edges wouldn't stick properly. It was a total waste of time and money. The SGP went on perfectly the first time. It was easy to work out any bubbles.... Great product. Granted, not cheap at $25 each, but well worth it in saved frustration with the cheap ones!

Interesting, I actually think it improves overall picture quaity (with the reduced glare). The only time I notice it is when I'm on a screen with a white background -- even then, it's not too bad and you get used to it pretty quick.

Hey guys,
Alright, so I just got my skinomi protector. I went for that one over the Moshi, maybe it was a bad choice. I installed it and it's been 2 days since. My screen looks like this now:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
See those ridges? They're constantly there. I don't notice them when the screen is on, and as far as I can tell, it doesn't bother me when using the device. When off however, they're very noticeable. If you run your finger over the phone you can feel where it indents.
If I take my nail and run it along the screen, it will leave a trace, and it won't "pop back up". My friend has a Ghost Sheild on his Evo (which took this pic) and if I do the same thing, the "scratches" disappear after a few seconds. Is my screen protector bad? or did I do a bad install? Or is the thing supposed to look like this?
I have two more protectors that I can try if this is a bad install.
This was my first wet-install, so I probably did something wrong. I wet my fingers using the solution, and wet the protector (drenched more like it) with it. I didn't spray my screen though. I also took my finger and like, wiped the wet side to make sure it was wet everywhere. Then I just put it on the screen, aligned it a few times (keeping it fully wet though) and once It was perfectly aligned I took the install card and wiped it towards the bottom of the phone, soaking any of the liquid that was released with a napkin. I did that untill I got all the big bubbles out, and most of the water packets. It did have water still, but that dried after a few hours, and all the small micro bubbles went away as well.
Thanks for your help.
that looks horrible bro. I'm pretty sure its not supposed to be like that. The most you should get is maybe a slight orange peel texture like how zaggs screen protectors are. But nothing near that. I would try another one and see how it goes.
Alright, I'll try another. Did you read what I did? Is there anything wrong with that?
Mine is perfectly smooth and I did essentially what you described. I didn't spray the screen either, I figured there was already enough moisture involved to scare me. I did not move the fluid around with my finger and I was pretty anal about trying to squeegee every last drop of fluid out.
So maybe don't put so much on next time and don't mess with it by spreading it around.
It only took overnight for it to dry, which is about half what they say.
The only drawback is that it's a bit "grabby" when swiping across the screen. I really wish PowerSupport would make protectors for this phone. Their crystal clear one for the iPhone is awesome.
Yeah, the liquid dried over night for me as well. I just applied another one to my dad's phone, we both got the same one. So if his comes out ok, I'll order another one for me, if not I'll order two Moshi protectors, and try to get these refunded. I'm sure there's no way it messed up like this during install. I didn't crease it or bend it or fold it at all during install.
wet your finger, wet both sides of the screen and do not press too hard when you get the water out, those ridges look like too many indentations made by the plastic squeegee board...and do not use a credit card!
I have been using Skinomi for years, i install it in the bathroom after letting the place steam for 5 minutes. not one bubble, not one speck of dust and love the membrane feeling - so much better then the hard plastic screen protectors.
You do realize you don't need a screen protector with Gorilla Glass?

Yes, I realize that, however I already have a very faint scratch on the top of my screen. You can hardly see it, but it is there.

By the way, you plan on any roms for the GS2?

I've made sure to have nothing but my phone in my pocket without a screen protector for the past 1.5 weeks. Just three days or so ago I noticed that there was a really really light scratch near the top of the screen, right under the ATT logo. It's hardly visible, you have to angle it a correct way. The glass is really good, but it's not perfect. It -will- scratch eventually. I don't want to take that risk.
I just put a zagg shield on mine just to be on the safe side.
I just applied the second one. It came out a lot better, but I have to wait and see the full results.

Yes, GG is awesome... but you CAN get scratches. My iPhone 4 ended up with 1 really obvious scratch on it just a couple months after I pulled off its InvisibleShield.
InvisibleShield was the first thing I ordered for my GS2.

Misconception #1: Gorilla Glass is resistant to scratches--not invincible.
I developed many light surface scratches already just being in my work pants. No drops and always in its own pocket-not mixed in with anything else.
Iphone also scratched. And so did many of my other devices with GG.
And sorry to be prude but why in the world would you even put those types of screen protector to DEGRADE your screen? Great protection, but kills the slickness and radiance of your screen.

Well, the first one looks terrible casue I installed it in correctly. The second one I installed came out loads better. I feel a slight increase in fiction, but the view is still very good. What screen protector would you recommend for my phone?
Don't Buy Skinomi
So here's my story with this company.
I purchased the Skinomi screen protector for my GS2.
I got it, everything seemed intact, but I noticed they had placed the sticky side to the white card board, but nothing over the front side of the protector.
WELL what happened is during storage or transport or maybe just their crappy distribution company, they front part of the protector bound/adhered to the plastic sleeve they placed it in, almost creating a ripple affect on the protector.. I installed it hoping it'd go away, it never did.
I contacted them, they sent me another one, same issue.
It maybe be a good product, but there ****ty distributing company screwed up on the packaging and ruins the product before the customer receives it.
I used a invisishield , my skinomi didn't seem to hold up as well. But it didn't look like that either.

Honestly, just a good ol fashion crystal clear screen protector. I've seen cheap crystal clear screen protectors withstand drops and scrapes with no scratches. (the video showing its capability to withstand knife cuts is impressive, but unless you're using your phone as a shield that scenario is never going to happen)
Bottom line is that both will protect your screen from scratches but neither will protect it from cracks... so it all boils down to preference

So I ordered the Skinomi carbon fiber skin + screen protector for my TF Prime and my Galaxy S II T989. The Skins look awesome. You just have to use a blow dryer on the curved edges of the corners to make it sit perfectly.
The only thing I hate is a wet application skin. I've never had good experiences with them in the past. I always end up ripping them off because: the very tiny bubbles never seem to fully go away even after a few weeks (I feel like it's something to do with the adhesive and not enough liquid), they easily get imprint marks on them and so it doesn't look like glass any more, They sometimes feel rubbery and not smooth.
So I applied both screen protectors anyways to give it another chance. After a week my TF Prime screen protector still looked like crap. A few spots looked like "orange peel" does on a bad automotive paint job.
The Galaxy S II screen protector didn't fit perfectly. I aligned it perfectly on 3 corners but the 4th was too large so it started to collect dust.
I still think skinomi products are great. I used "get25" to get 25% off so the GS2 skin was 15$ shipped and the TF Prime skin was 24$ shipped. This isn't bad for a nice carbon fiber skin. I figure the screen protectors were just bonuses that I didn't really need. I was willing to pay those amounts for just the cf skins.
They have A+++++ service. I emailed them about the screen protectors and sent them these photos. I asked for replacement "dry application" screen protectors. Not only did they ship those, it looks like they shipped a whole new skin + screen protector combo according to the invoice.
Overall, the $24 for the skin seems worth it, but if you're OCD like me and really picky about your screen protector, go with a dry one and pray you don't get lint under it while applying it (I usually buy a 2-3 pack because of this..)

I use the ZAGG INVISHIELD for all my electronics... I've gone from GalaxyS to DesireHD to Sensation4G to now the amaze4G, Xoom to OG TRANSFORMER now to TRANSFORMER PRIME, they are wet applications but I use a bowl of water with a drop of dishsoap, not the spray they give you. I think it brings a better application and looks better without "orange peel " looks... IMO
Looks great! Do you have any better lighting pictures of the back skin? I bought the clear dry (still don't have the tablet) and was debating the silver CF. I haven't seen any good pictures of the CF's though so maybe you could change my mind. Any help with better pictures if you have the time?

There is definitely an art to putting them on, but - once properly applied - I much prefer the wet application ones. Hard to put on, but work super when done correctly.
The bubbles are usually because the solution had bubbles and they dry in place. They are much harder to see when wet and stand out like crazy when dry. Definitely use a bowl of solution and let it sit to ensure it settles all the bubbles. Then be sure to use a squidgy. I always buy a few of them to cover mistakes.
I prefer the Best Skins brand as they seem to give more detail to screens and always go edge to edge. Zagg seems to always be just short.
Use a needle to remove air bobles. Make a microhole and let the air escape ...
I have put on dozens, if not hundreds of skins and wet ones are always easier to apply. You can reposition them, they don't collect fingerprints on the sticky side as long as you keep your fingers wet and they are easier to peel up in case you accidentally trap dust under them.
You only need a light] misting[/B of the application solution in order to get the Skinomi skin applied to your device correctly. If you hold the bottle 6 inches from the skin, spray it 2-3 times just to get most of the surface moist. Any more than that and the skin will be a lot harder to position. Don't worry if the entire skin isn't wet at this point because once you start to put it down on your device the liquid will "squish together" and fill in any dry areas.
For about an hour or so after you start applying the skin, you can work any air bubbles toward the edge. Even if it seems like the skin is dry you can easily work air bubbles out. Just start at the center and use your fingertips or a very soft cloth to "push" the bubbles to the nearest edge.
This is my result using a clear Skinomi skin on the back of my Prime. Installation took me about 3 minutes.

Don't ever do this, you will regret it. If you poke holes in a skin like the Skinomi protectors you will be exchanging an air bubble for a puckered hole, guaranteed. Usually bubbles that don't fade are caused by trapped grit under the skin.
If you have a wet skin and there are trapped bubbles that are really bothering you, carefully peel the skin back, re-wet it with solution and then re-smooth the skin. If bubbles don't disappear after a few days by themselves it is probably because there is some trapped dust pushing the skin up in that location, so you may have to gently scrub the skin with damp fingers to work the dust loose.
In terms of the Galaxy S2. I have never used the Skinomi skins as a screen protector because they are the rubbery kind that I hate on my screens. However if they don't fit right I would try this style of screen protector. Once it is installed you won't even be able to tell there is a protector on your screen:
http://www.amazon.com/SGP-Samsung-Galaxy-Protector-Crystal/dp/B0056C3IQU
SGP makes them for all types of Galaxy S2 phones.
Like the title says. How well does it work with a stylus? How does it feel vs just the glass? I have my prime in the MiniSuit case, is it worth putting on the screen?
I have a Skinomi skin cover and I honestly think the best part may be how much better the Prime looks. It gives it this glossy "wet" look that you see on new cars that have just been freshly waxed and polished. That aside, I would still recommend it if you're looking to use the Prime outside of a cover. I've found that the metallic spun back can scratch rather easily so the screen cover helps protect against that, and it has a nice, semi-grippy feel when you hold it.
Techskin (Wet application) is great for the back. Again, a must if you use the tablet outside of a "proper" case, to prevent the metal from getting scratched.
The front.....definitely reduces clarity some. You may get some micro-bubbles or other artifacts while installing, but the warranty will allow you to get a replacement if you screw it up (I did the first time, ended up with a couple blotches of micro-bubbles).
The protector definitely provides some more resistance while sliding the finger, not quite as smooth as without.
I plan to use it for a while, but maybe 6-12 months down the road i'll remove it when it gets a little worn and go "au natural". A back cover and a neoprene sleeve for transport is all i need.
http://www.amazon.com/Neo-Cushion-Protective-Transformer-Android-Tablets/dp/B006C64C6E
Really nice sleeve, it could use a bit of velcro to keep the fold from crinkling up. Nice front pocket for carrying the charger, or wires.
I ordered and installed the Skinomi Techskin. It went on perfectly, no bubbles, lined up precisely...
Only problem was, there were smudge marks and blemishes all over the screen! I waited a week, hoping they'd go away, but they didn't.
I eventually contacted Skinomi, who were very accommodating, and sent out another Techskin right away.
2nd skin didn't go on as easily. I have several bubbles, but what's more irritating is there's a crease/bubble along the edge of the screen, that won't go away! I even saw it while applying the screen shield, lifted that corner back up, re-sprayed the included liquid, and squeegeed it smooth, but it is still there, and very noticeable.
What I like about the Skinomi is the precise cut-out for the dock. However, if it makes my screen look filthy, it isn't working for my needs (I mainly purchased a screen protector because all of the fingerprints that show up on the Prime's screen drive me nuts (yeah, yeah.. I know)
Anyways, I've now ordered the ACaseView screen protector.
Comes in a package of three, but what attracted me to it is that the manufacturer and customers all say how thin it is. Several reviews say that they have no problems using their dock with this screen protector on, that it's thin enough not to interfere.
It's also a dry apply screen protector, not that I care that much about how it's applied, I just don't want to see bubbles or smudges on my nearly brand new Transformer Prime!
If anyone's interested, I'd be happy to report back, after installing the ACaseView shield.
I got the skinomi as well for the prime and dock. I love it. I have used body guardz for two phones and ghost armor for my wifes iPad. Of them all I have found the Skinomi to be the most glass like out of the box. They will be the one I buy going forward for all my future gear.
I prefer the wet apply versus dry. It allows you to place the skin down and easily adjust got proper placement. With the dry apply you have to keep purling back up to adjust, leaving you open for dust and stretching. The bubbles do go away. Sometimes it may take a week, or longer. Hope that helps.

I really dont want my Primes Keyboard looking like that, and even less the back of the tablet!
And yes, that was made by sweat, I wear no watch, or anything on my wrists.
Anyone happen to know if the Skinomi for the screen can cover up light Scratches that are already on the screen?

great choice on the dock and tablet combo, I've had it for a few weeks and its been great (dark wood version)
im not sure about the covering scratches though since one of the main things the companies want to accomplish are having the protectors as invisible as possible as to not hinder the use of your screen so I'm assuming they would still show. I have a protector on my screen but i have no scratches since i wouldn't even take my dock or tab out of the box before my skins arrived lol I'm sort of a freak when it comes to scratching my "toys".

I just ordered it, I hope it makes them at least harder to see hehe.
Weird thing is, my Prime never goes out without the Leather Folio case or if I need the Dock in a Neopren pouch, I just have no freaking idea how the screen got scratched! I guess the Glass used in the Prime is not so hard after all (at least compared to my other devices... 100% naked, no scratchs, more than a year of use and abuse)
Will report back how it feels after I get it... I guess a couple weeks from now

Not it is not worth putting on the screen, IMO. It can negatively impact how how well a stylus works with the Prime depending on the type of stylus since it is a little bit rubbery (but not as bad as Zagg skins).
The Skinomi skins for the back of the Prime and the keyboard dock are awesome though. They can definitely help your device from accumulating scratches and make it a lot easier to remove fingerprints from the back of the Prime.

I use a Skinomi screen protector (wet-apply). Before applying I had accidentally made light scratches to the TF201 screen. It was quite visible given certain lighting. After applying the Skinomi, (and its been about 2 months) I honestly cannot see even the slightest bit of the scratches as if they disappeared. I assume the same thing happens with any screen protector though.

Can't wait for the full Skinomi to arrive @[email protected]
I think bestskinsever has a better cutout for the back. And they even carry the dock, and compatible skins now.
I'm using a skinomi compatible screen protector, as that was the only one available at the time, coupled with the back from a bestskinsever.
The bestskinsever skin actually covers the full back, doesnt have a cutout for the Asus logo, and none of the little side pieces, as they are actually a part of the back.
If you look at the renderings on both sites you will see what i mean.
My dark woodgrain skinomi is supposed to arrive today or tomorrow. Can't wait!
Skinomi arrived today...but they sent me the wrong one. Got brushed aluminum instead of dark wood grain .
On the up side, when I e-mailed them they got back to me within minutes to apologize and say they were sending out the correct one.

Yes, they both offer compatible skins, but the BestSkinsEver version has a better back and no side pieces.
When you get the full skin from skinomi you have the screen, the back, and what.. 4 or 5 side pieces.
The BSE has front and back,and the back covers what all those little side pieces cover, plus the asus logo isn't cut out.
I like to use the full back, and a compatible screen protector. Fits in the dock without leaving marks or tearing them up and the full back is protected.

"better" in your opinion, its just a preference. there isn't any real difference that makes one better than the other.

I love my Skinomi Carbon Fiber back cover. It was easy to apply. There are others that don't have the small strips that go around the sides of the tablet but if you take your time and use light heat you can get these pieces on nicely and they look great.
I've yet to put the screen protector that came with my kit on because I'm never satisfied with the results that I've had on other devices. I'm just running it naked.
