Combo Shield and Case review

So, I decided to buy a Blurex Slim Case for my Asus Transformer Prime as well as a Full Body Invisishield (front and back) on memorial day when they had the half off sale. I would like to review these two accessories as they work together. This is my first review so be nice!
I find that the Blurex case and the full body invisishield combined allows for the most amazing protection that my Asus Transformer Prime has EVER had. The case fits with the shields and protects my unit from all but the most intense damages(water/dropping really hard). I love the smooth yet firm premium feel of the case and how it allows you to feel the contour of the device without exposing it too much.
So yeah, if anyone has anything else to add, feel free. Im typing this on a quick break lol!

Daiso USA: Cushioned case $1.50 each B5 size, zippered! =O

Just an example of what you can get in store (online has no quantity 1 orders =( ), Daiso USA carries foam cushioned, zippered cases that's about the perfect size for the Nook Tablet (B5 size case). Nice for the price. Very lightweight, and naturally, not going to be designed for heavy banging about, but enough so you don't worry when the Nook is being carried around in a bag, etc.
I've seen those in the Daiso in Singapore, but I dismissed them as being too thin to give much protection for my Nook Simple Touch, much less my Nook Tablet. A padded envelope would offer more protection...
Decent looking cases for a decent price. But i wonder if they scratch the nook ??
I use a belkin netbook sleeve for mine, it's a little too big so I can store charger and sdcards on the opposite side of the screen. I do also have an otterbox case on it so I'm not worried about protecting anything other than scratches on the nook.
Been using the Daiso case for a few weeks. Nearly perfect fit, light, doesn't harm the Nook, and adds the bit of protection and secrecy I'm after. Along with the Nintendo Wii strap and Daiso screen protector film, perfect accessory for a sleek tablet carry. Disappears into the background in the case, easy to carry, and overall nice.

Best screen protector?

Hi, this is my first post here.
Im looking to buy a screen protector to protect my screen
Im currently looking at these two:
a) ZAGG invisibleSHIELD - Asus EEE Transformer Prime - SCREEN Protector
b) 2Pack S-Shieldz Asus EEE Pad Transformer Prime TF201 LCD Screen Protector Shield
I use the dock a lot which means that it should not get ripped out by the dock.
What im looking for is solid protection from my scratches my nails inflict on the screen.
It should also be nice to touch, i prefer something over which my hand glides even if the whole screen is filled with sweat from my hands.
Also i would prefer something which is easy to apply. I did a shoddy job with the screen protector on my iPhone 4 and now its full with air bubbles.
And last but not the least, Image quality should not take a hit.
Thanks.
I would post a link but it turns out i cant do that unless i post 10 messages
I don't have experience with either of them on the Prime, but I do have a Zagg screen protector on my phone, and it does the job well enough, but there is a bit of orange peel texture that comes through in certain lights. It feels nice to the touch, also.
Personally, when I finally break down and get a screen protector, I'm probably going to go with Skinomi. I had one on my last tablet, and I liked it better than the Zagg.
I use BodyGuardz for my Phone and Tablet http://www.bodyguardz.com/
I bought this, Ultra-thin Transparency & Super Clear protection screen protector
Two options.
First is go cheap, get the clear hard plastic ones from ebay. should be maybe a couple dollars? Like the cheap phone ones, they put on easy, but scratch easy. throw the used one away and buy another one.
Second option, get a high quality "military grade" protector. They are all very similar, essentially thicker, more of a rubbery feel to them, last a lot longer.
If you go for option two know that most of the brands are selling the same material in different packaging. Some are thinner than others (zag is one of the thickest) and thin usually means less rubbery / less texture to annoy you. After years of using a Zagg on my phone it recently got too dirty to use and im back to the plastic protectors, damn i forgot how clear my screen used to be! Will likely not go back to zagg. Good product for protection, bad for clarity.
There are kiosks in the malls around there that will do a custom protector for your device for around $50, much thinner material than zagg or others, and roughly the same price for front and back protection, only problem is lifetime guarentee is useless if the kiosks dissapear.
When all else fails, check out what friends are using, if you like a protector on their device, go for it. Often the online less expensive options can be just as good as zagg with half the cost, zagg is a ripoff because of huge markups.
SKINOMI.COM FOR THE WORLD! By far best of the military grade options in my opinion, and the greatest customer service I've ever experienced for easy replacements.

I have an Xrtreme Guard on my Prime right now. Got it for less than $5 on the website. It's similar to an Invisible Shield or Ghost Armor but has less of an orange peel feel and look.

I love the Skinomi. It's cut perfectly for my dock and it's fairly smooth.

Bobjgear Rugged Case

I've been looking at the Bobjgear Rugged case for the TF201 I just repaired. Looks really nice, similar to the Gumdrop case but vastly cheaper.. Has anyone used this case yet? I've contacted them to order one for myself, from the reviews I gather the case is excellent, provides great shock protection when dropped, and makes it feel beefy so you're not feeling like you're holding a piece of glass.
http://bobjgear.com/
Here's a link to it on Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Transfo...0B04/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A3SQAI9BQY42F6
Looks rugged as hell.
I picked up the Poetic Leather Keyboard Portfolio case from Amazon several months ago after replacing my LCD / digitizer. While not quite as ruggedly designed as the Bobjgear, it's sufficient to offer significant protection over having nothing at all and my Prime/Dock lives in my backpack when not being used (read: much potential for shock damage).
The Poetic case claims to be leather -- it seems to me to be more like sprayed-on vinyl. It cost less than $18usd.
I particularly like that the portfolio case comes apart into two pieces. If you want to disconnect your keyboard and take just the tab, this portfolio will do that. The part that connects the keyboard snaps off. You're left with a fold-over portfolio that's adequate.
Got my case, have my tablet screen fixed for the millionth time (cheap piece of easily breakable crap, what a horrid design).
Anyways, the case is NICE. I don't feel like I'm carrying a sheet of glass around now, it's easy and nice to hold, fixes VERY well and pads so nicely against bumps it's unbelievable.
Definitely a solid value.

Protecting the screen from cracking

It's quite expensive to repair a cracked screen, so I'd like to protect my phone against it.
I'm thinking about doing two things atm: buying a tempered glass screen protector and a heavy-duty case.
Are there any other measures that come to your mind?
