I almost bought the Zagg since it looks amazing, but then I noticed that it doesn't cover the entire screen. There is a millimeter or two around the display that is not covered and that made me hold my order. Still using the HTC screen protector until I have decided which one to get.
Yeah, the Zagg IS does not cover the whole screen. I have just noticed it and I was not aware of that. Therefore the Zagg IS is a no go!
Does anyone have experience with the BW UltraClear screen protector???
http://mobile.brando.com.hk/bw-ultraclear-smart-phone-s-p-htc-touch-diamond-2-_p04024c1213d039.html
I've been using the BW UltraClear for many years on several devices I've owned and I can really recommend it. It always fits perfectly, is very scratch resistent and absolutely invisible if applied properly.
I am using the Brando Mirror Screen Guarder. A little bit fancy, as it makes ur screen a mirror when the device is off.
Covers the whole screen, but is a little bit too reflective, you see yourself in the screen.
Thanks for the replies. Sounds like the BW UltraClear is worth trying ...
I'm using the Brando Ultra Clear Screenprotector for D2... Which is one of the screenprotectors I bought.. I never was able to scratch this screenprotector.
Okay. Thank you for the reply.

Any chance of a picture of how this looks when its on the TD2? I like the sound of it and could live with the reflections I think.
Just had a quick look at my phone and can see reflections when the phone is on even with no screen protector applied so shouldn't be much difference to what I'm used to.
I am using antireflex screen protector, highly raises reading ability on the direct sun...
Hello!
@ jlp_svk:
Could you please indicates were you bought it?
I made a quick search trought google but can't find it, is the antireflex the brand of your screen protector? And a last question, does this screen protector fit exactly the screen?
Thank you for your replies!

I took each one shot with Topaz off and on. Must say, yesterday in bright sunshine I had no chance to see my screen with this protector anymore.
@juju66:
had it from here:
http://www.agem.sk/=3fcmd=3dtovar_detail&product=3d13174193
I haven't received it for TD2, but had it on TD1, Touch HD and it fits the whole screen.
I have just received the Brando Ultra Clear screen protector. It says on the package that it is removable and washable. Then it should be no problem for me to remove it and apply it again? (I did not apply it very well the first time )
hi
I have a zagg and Im very dissapointed. I dont recommend it=
- its too mmooiisstt !!!
- I confirm it doesnt recover the entire screen.
- I've kept only the back but it still not very pleasant because it makes some micro corner into the joint ! its raspy !) so I put the stock htc on front.
Im going to try the ultra clear soon.
Go to Gsm4world.us . They have all stock htc accessories!
I have bought many housings from them and can vouch for them.
Great service, and as mentioned before.... ALL things are Genuine.
Good prices too.
Heres the link: https://www.gsm4world.us/htc-touch-diamond-2-p-474_210.html
EDIT: Screen protectors are NOT factory, but everything else is.
I just got my martin field
first of all...it is WAYYY too expensive..I have no idea why I paid 26 bucks for a screen protector
+s
VERY clear
Screen is very smooth-makes it very easy on your finger or finger nail
does not attract finger prints
-s
EXPENSIVE
does reflect a lot of lights
Has anyone bought an anti glare protector for the screen? I know there is a screen protector topic but they were more focus on just protecting the screen and not about anti glare.
acuralegendz said NuShield anti glare protector was only ok. I rather not pay 25 dollars for an average product.
I also saw link to Lexerd - Viewsonic G Tablet TrueVue Anti-Glare but I havnt heard any reviews on it yet.
I just ordered it yesterday from Amazon, as soon as it's in I'll be happy to let you know.

I am going to assume that you are talking about the Lexerd - Viewsonic G Tablet TrueVue Anti-Glare. Can you test it in sunlight and indoor light? Thanks a lot
Yes I am, and yes I will be happy to. I don't think it will be here until the end of the week though so will be a few days.
i just installed this screen protector and I must say that the price is ridiculous for the quality.
It makes the screen quality completely grainy. Maybe I have to let it sit for a few hours.
Nice to the touch, has a mat feel. doesn't seem like it effects the touch sensitivity.
the edges are horrible. I can see it lifted all the way around the entire screen and i have no bubbles or dust around the edges but that will change soon. I just hope that as more dust gets trapped under the lifted edges, it doesn't make it worse over time but we will see.
I'm use to the screen protectors where you apply them on like window tints (Body Guardz brand). Had them on my ZuneHD, Droid1, Doid2. All perfect..Lexerd, not even close.
My opinion is that this screen protector should have been 10 dollars. sucks I got the double pack. sigh.

Thanks for the review stigmax. That sounds horrible even at 10 dollars. FYI there was a one pack of those protectors but little late to tell you that now.
Yea, I knew about the single pack but thought I could save a few bux with the double. After a few hours of use, my eyes got use to the grainy screen
Temp protector I guess, at least I dont have to worry about scratches: )
What I haven't seen elsewhere is that on the "Thank you for purchasing..." sheet that came with the G Tab, it states: "1. The device may come equipped with two anti glare screen protectors over the screen; which should be removed". Huh? Why two? Why remove them. It doesn't make sense. I assume because there is glare, that mine didn't come with them.

Because at some point there were so many returns (at sears and staples) because of claims of a defective screen which later turn to be some air bubbles trapped under the second layer of the screen protector

Anti-Glare
So has anyone found any good Anti-Glare that are not $30? just trying to find a good screen protector and case so I can stand it up and watch movies if need be.
Ever try Photodon?
http://www.photodon.com/p/MXH-5250-01.html seems nice based on their description but wondering if anyone ever tried one.
I ordered this set a couple weeks ago. One is clear and one is anti-glare:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290551331136&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_570wt_1140
They fit the screen perfectly. A little too perfectly actually. It's somewhat difficult to get the protector perfectly straight so that one side or the other doesn't run into the edge of the screen where the edge slightly goes up. I rendered the clear protector relatively useless after attempting to line it up perfectly several times.
Neither of the screen protectors have cut outs for the camera or the light sensor. It doesn't seem to really affect the light sensor, but the anti-glare protector makes the camera pretty much unusable. The camera is fine with the clear protector on.
The reason it makes it unusable is because of how grainy it makes the screen look, and that grain is also visible through the camera. It makes everything blurry. That said, it does a good job of reducing glare as well as a pretty darn good job of cutting down on visible finger prints. I've found that the graininess isn't extremely intrusive for most things. Maybe I've just gotten used to it.
One of the main reasons for purchasing my gTablet was to use it as an eReader for the hundreds of .pdfs I'm required to go through. This is where the grain really becomes troublesome. If it wasn't for the fact that somehow I managed to get the protector on perfectly straight on the first try, I would have already removed it. I'm thinking about ordering another set, cutting out a hole for the camera, and going with the clear protector. I'll make due with some glare here and there and some fingerprints.

I'm curious if you could use a hole puncher to make a hole for the camera? I have not seen this product so I have no idea what it is like or how thick it is but seems like it could be modded with a hole punch if you do the measurements precisely. Anyways, just a thought I had while reading. Thanks for the review.

You know, right before I put mine on, I thought to myself - "Should I run out and get a hole puncher for the camera before I do this? No, it should be fine."
I should have went to get a hole puncher. It would work perfectly.

I bought a matte one and a clear one from Aurum, but fit really well, I think you get get both for under $20. The matte reduces glare and the clear one does not distort the screen. Overall was very happy with the product. The Lexard one and those other "wet" applications ones are a pain in the ass, they also prevent your finger from gliding smoothly on the after application. I got them at Amazon here is the link http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...rum+viewsonic&x=0&y=0&sprefix=aurum+viewsonic
NuShield antiglare sheet or DayVue?

Just called NuShield, as their site does not work well with IE9 when placing orders, and was told they are currently NOT selling an "antiglare" sheet for the gTablet. They only have their "DayVue" product, which does not have anti-glare feature.
However, if you contact them, they very likely would consider making an anti-glare version as they already have a template for the gTablet.
[email protected]
I was just looking at their website and it describes the DayVue as anti-reflective. Straight from the website under Viewsonic GTablet.
NuShield DayVue™ antireflective film is the best choice for displays that are being used outdoors. It has good scratch resistance combined with greatly improved daylight readable optics over our antiglare film.
I don't know if they consider anti-glare and anti-reflective to be different, but it seems like the same to me.
ive got an antiglair, it works well and was only 10$ off amazon but if you like using it for videos it kills them, thinking about removing mine but i have a hard time throwing 10$ away
Hello all,
Would anyone have any recommendations for screen protectors that would work well with the Transformer? Whilst I realize that it may take a while for screen protectors that were specifically designed for the Transformer to be released, I will be doing quite a bit of travelling with the tablet over the next few weeks and would like to have something to protect the screen (I will also buy a case for it)
Many thanks!
You dont need any screen protector. It's got gorilla glass. If you can scratch the gorilla glass with anything other than a diamond ill buy you a new one myself.
Here's one of many videos of it on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avhQGzTld08
Thanks for the reply stuntdouble: I hear you on the Gorilla Glass, but I want to try to keep the screen prestine for when I try to sell my current unit when the Transformer V2 comes out. Maybe I'm being a bit irrational here but, for the small price of a screen protector, its more of a "why not" sort of thing.
Thanks dude
Well like I said before, the only things that will scratch it will be things like diamonds, and they will easily go through any screen protector you use anyways. All any gorilla glass screen needs to look pristine is a good wipe with a lens cloth every once in a while. So unless you are Kanye West or Lady Gaga with all the bling, you'll be fine.
A case however is a good idea for the rest of the unit's protection.
That's awesome, thanks for the vid.
You won't need a screen protector. It will look prestine forever. If it gets oily/greasy, just use an LCD/Plasma screen wipe on it and it will look good as new.
I am a SysAdmin at my company that has Macs and PCs, I steal the Mac screen wipes for devices and those work awesome lol.
What about one that helps with sunlight. It seems that it will be pretty unusable outdoors otherwise? Correct me if you know different.

That's why I buy screen protectors too, it makes a difference having a matt one.
I think a matte one would help with glare and annoying fingerprints. I've had two gorilla glass phones and I often like a protector for these two purposes, not just for protection.
Any links to matte ones ?, There's only ipad ones on ebay.
This is what I found, I may get one for myself.

How about this? Anti-reflective apparently...
EDIT. Arg, can't post the link yet. However go to Amazon UK, it's called:
"Vikuiti screen protector ADQC27 for Asus Eee Pad Transformer - PREMIUM QUALITY (crystal clear, anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, easy mountable)"
I'm a bit torn as to what to do about a screen protector for my transformer. Unless you get a really good matte one, they often reduce the clarity of the screen and introduce a kind of rainbow grain, and I don't want that as it was bad enough on my iphone.
However, I don't want a protector that doesn't really reduce the reflectiveness of the gorillaglass by much - the matte ones are brilliant for this and are really silky to the touch as well, but you do often have that trade off with image quality. At nearly £30 a pop, it's not the sort of thing you want to experiment with either!
Anyone got a protector they like yet?
I'll have to test this puppy outdoors before I start hunting down a anti-reflective screen protector. Reviewers tend to complain about glare and reflections much more than I do, so it is a wait and see situation. It's a huge trade off, matte faded colors with a cover, or bright, vivid display without? Plus, Corning gorilla glass is so silky smooth to the touch, I hate the feeling of cheap plastic screen covers.
@dandmcd Have you actually got one of these tablets? I have, and I can tell you that outdoors the thing is pretty much unusable and even in bright indoor areas like offices you'll need 100% brightness to be able to look at it without glare.
Also, my gorilla glass isn't what I'd call silky smooth. It's nicer than the iphone, but can still get sticky sometimes depending on how clammy your hands are. With the matt protector I have on my iphone, it's always silky smooth, just like The Zohan likes

I've not got any experience with touch screens (and especially multi-touch ones) used with screen protectors... Is your experience that you have to press harder or touches are detected less accurately when using a protector? If so, I'd likely prefer the glare issues to touch issues, but if not, a protector might well be worthwhile to cut down the glare...
To people saying it's not scratchable....yes, yes it is.

Yeah, and Corning's own PR folks have confirmed it is neither scratch *or* shatter proof in their own marketing videos. In several videos they reference having sand-blasted the glass to simulate normal use, and you can clearly see the scratched, sand-blasted area. In one video the Corning rep even states during the pressure test that "you could break it if you really bear down on it" or words to that effect.
Gorilla glass is neither scratch proof nor break proof -- it's just more strongly resistant to both than regular glass.
@dandmcd - It really does depend on the screen protector, but on the whole most are manufactured thin enough in that they don't affect the touchscreen sensitivity at all. I can only comment from my experience with two versions of the iphone, I haven't got a screen protector for my transformer yet....

Hi guys,
I've never bought one before, so any suggestions as far as quality goes?
There are a number that emphasize this military grade nonsense, is that an actual indicator of quality or a bait tactic?
Thanks in advance.
I bought the Sony one for mine, it was really quite expensive (£25.99 at my local Sony Centre), but it is a decent anti-glare one.
Trouble with some anti-glare protectors is that they make whites all spicily, but the Sony one doesn't. It does a good job of blocking reflections, although its not fantastic at stopping finger prints.

I have to choose between Sony original and Brando Ultraclear (been using them on all equipement so far).
I have never been a fan of matt screen protectors, but I can see that the Sony one gets really good reviews (though I'm not sure if anti-glare in this case means that it has matt finish)
I am using the sony matt one. Pretty good but seems to take away the beauty of the screen. Thinkin of trying a clear one.

+1 for the idea of anyone posting photos in both low/high light settings to get a better idea of how it looks when applied. Thanks in advance.
I don't have photos (yet), but I'll second the Sony one. I got it off amazon when my zagg protector was clearly too big for the screen and overlapped onto the sides - looked awful, plus it was all orange peely. The Sony one is perfect. I don't mind the matte finish, it keeps the glare down.
I finally got the sony one. I've taken some photos, will post them tomorrow (not the DSRL quality though, too lazy for that - but I think anyone interested will get the picture).
Overall I think it was a good buy - Sony protector is cheaper than Brando Ultraclear (not by much, but still cheaper) and it does make the device somewhat more resistant to fingerprints. I wouldn't exactly say it's matt - I'd rather describe it as semiglossy.
Anyway, I hope that it will be at least as durable as Brando (had them on Kaiser, Diamond, X10mini, HD2 - and never ever even a single scratch).
Interesting results here.
I bought the official one with my Tablet, and I don't find it very good. The anti-glare is brilliant, and it protects the screen well, but it also shows up fingerprints really badly and tends to occasionally interfere with touch sensitivity on my device. YMMV, of course.
Photos
There's not much sun right now in Warsaw so I tried to capture flash flare.
I have to admit that I had no problems with touchscreen sensitivity, and IMHO there is waaaaay less fingerprints than without the screen protector - so yes, YMMV
I use a 3M vikuiti screen protector. it's crystal clear, easy to put on, perfect in size and haptics... not cheap though
+1 for sony.
looks fine to me, and REALLY cuts down the glare. I had a side by side comparison in shop with two display units (one with one without) and difference was night and day.

I agree with you but i took away some of the beauty of the screen but them i guess you get used to it after sometime.
I've always used the matt protectors. I know it cuts down a bit on the screen quality, but I use mine too much for reading.
One of my friends who also has a Sony Tablet S had dropped it a while ago onto the corner of a cinder block. The tablet had the Sony matt protector on it and it appeared that the cinderblock had not only gone through that, but also taken a little chunk out of the screen itself. It wasn't until very recently that we discovered that the tablet had the factory applied screen protector on it and once we peeled it off, the screen itself was perfect. While I have no dobut the matt screen protector helped, that factory applied protector can take a helluva beating it would seem.
I'm actually amazed at how well the actual screen stands up to fingerprints. The factory applied protector and the matt protector are both magnets for fingerprints, but the actual screen itself barely collects any when swiping. I'm now weighing my options for what to do because I now have the factory applied screen protector plus the matt protector on my tablet. I'd love to find a screen protector that minimizes or eliminates fingerprints... any suggestions? While I do like how the matt protector diffuses light sources, I think I could live with a shinier screen so long as it wasn't coated in fingerprints

I have had an Armor on now for a couple days. If you follow instructions (watch youtube video) it goes on really well. Bit difficult to perfectly align with fluid present. Mine came out with no bubbles. Lots less fingerprints than out of box screen. Somewhat less glare. However finger sliding is not as smooth as stock. I have a Realook on my phone and it is smoother. Also have a matt screen protector on son's ipod and it has nicest finger slide.
I purchased, "HHI Sony Tablet S1 Anti-Fingerprint, Anti-Glare, Matte Finishing Screen Protector", I'm happy with it.
Wanted to post up in this thread to keep it alive. Thanks everyone for all the great info.
Im shopping for a screen protector now because im afraid to take it out of the house without one, any more input is greatly appreciated!
Well I'm kinda forced to withdraw my recommendation for Sony matt screen protector. After a while (not long, as you can see from the date of my last post in this thread) of frequent tablet usage the matt finish started to wear off.
There are places that you're touching more often and this results in polishing the matt finish of the protector.
Right now it looks matte with polished finger tracks here and there.
Therefore I'd rather recommend Brando one - its glossy and it will stay glossy...
I got these LINK
Really good, nice feel to them.. like all matte protectors they take some of the sharpness off the screen image, but for me it's worth it.
Since temperated glass protectors seem to be such a pain in the ass or have to be really small when they do work; has anyone tried this protector?
Here it is on the moto X (very similar to ours in design and even has curved screen; AFAIK they have the same problems as us on the moto x glass thread):

They were supposed to arrive Saturday (USPS 1-day Priority Express shipping), but did not. They are finally moving again, and I suspect will arrive later today.
I will post some photos as soon as I can.
Just received and took a couple of pictures (the dust is on the surface, not under the screen protector).
It's a fairly thick plastic, more rigid than typical plastic screen protectors... very nice quality. Went on extremely easily, and the fit is perfect.
Overall, I'm fairly impressed. Of course, how it will stand up against use I'm not sure yet.
Let me know if you have any other questions or want more photos.

I have used tempered glass screen protectors before, and it doesn't feel substantially different than them. After having used it a few hours, I can say that it feels very good, and is very slick. However, it does appear that there might be a slight decrease in sensitivity over what I was using before (Spigen Crystal Hard Surface Screen Protector) or a good tempered glass protector. I suspect that's due to the thickness and it being a "shock absorbing" protector.
The Spigen felt good too, but of course, it's not a "shock absorbing" protector and is probably half the thickness.
I'll continue using it for a while. I have an intelliArmor intelliGlass protector I ordered that should be here soon. Of course, it won't have as much coverage, but I will try it out as well if the Power Support sensitivity bothers me.

Some additional feedback on this screen protector. I've definitely noticed that when swiping on the screen (especially when using Swiftkey Flow to enter words), that the phone is losing track of my finger mid-swipe. I've never seen this problem before with other screen protectors, so it's a little concerning. I've sent a support request to Power Support to see if they have any thoughts or recommendations on this issue. I'll let you know what I hear back. Until I get some resolution on this, I can't say I recommend this screen protector because of this particular reason.
Edit: since I have a second Power Support protector, I went ahead and installed the intelliArmor. Here are images:

Here's the response I received from Power Support:
We apologize that you're experiencing this issue. Our films undergo extensive testing on our end and through Motorola to ensure that they will not reduce the sensitivity of the touch screen. We rarely receive this complaint, but on occasion we have heard this with the Shock-absorbing Brilliant Film for Nexus 6. Please let us know your shipping address, full name, and telephone number and we can send you a replacement film.

I'll post again when I install a second protector.
