Hi, i am getting my transformer soon (i hope) and i would like to know your opinion on those screen protectors, i seen a lot of skinomi and clear freak thread but i am also wondering about the price, those 2 turn around 20 bucks each and im used to (12$ for 2 realooks protectors (for a phone though)) and i seen a couple of threads of people scratching the skinomi when trying to install it.. so i were wondering:
Is the +/- 20$ price is the price for those screen protector or are they gonna go down? (early adopter fee?)
I am really scared of a wet application method, is there dry screen protector out there?
Does any of you actually know if zagg or realook intend to release screen protectors for the transformer?
And finally, is there another tablet out there with the EXACT dimension for a screen protector (seen a couple for the iconia here and there but none for the transformer....)
Thanks a lot!
Funny you should ask, I just posted this in the other skinomi thread
If you're looking for anti-glare I'd go with ViewGuard. It's a hard plastic and thicker than the wet application options. I have one on my laptop and it dramatically reduces the reflectiveness and it hasn't reduced the touch sensitivity on it at all. It's what I plan on getting for mine when it gets here. Yes, I have a mutli-touch capacitive screen on my laptop.
Ok,does the dimension fit the transformer ?(or a little bigger?)
just get my eeepad, I know the case/sleeve is required, do I really need a screen protector?

Now we have to find the size that will fit th TF, even though the screen is 8.5 X 5.5 the glass is 10X7. The closest size they list is for 12.1 4X3 aspect @ 9.72 X 7.28 which would have to be trimmed. I contacted them about custom sizes.

Yes. A good screen guard not only protects your glass from getting scratched but also reduces glare and even provide better tactile touch. I love how my BSE skins feel. Very smooth and soft and not slippery (not everybody likes it though). Oh, and you can use your hand or sleeves to wipe the screen without fear
BSE offers DIY sizes, 12x14" is about $15 + shipping (buy 3 and shipping is free I think). I've already emailed them to see if they will have Transformer kits soon.

I just measured the dimensions of the screen and used a razor to cut the BSE piece. I haven't used it outside yet so not sure about glare, but fingerprints are a-ok, as in they don't show up at all
I got the skinomi silver carbon fiber full protector today
and simply loving the design.
I am not sure how the screen is yet since I am waiting for it to dry
but i'll play with it when it does and see how it is and let you know what I think.
I'll also try to get some pictures up.
just want to interject a quick fact here, you guys know that the TF uses Gorilla glass right? it doesn't need a screen protector (at least for protection anyway) ... anything that can scratch gorilla glass would not be prevented by any screen protector you can get.

Gorilla Glass is only scratch resistant, not scratch proof. It can still scratch.

gorilla glass does scratch. my dell streak has gorilla glass and i've got a small scrath on it. it's just harder to scratch than normal glass.
also screen protectors are good to stop fingerprints and some decrease the friction; so easier swiping across the screen which is good for playing games. btw zagg invisible shields increase friction.

Hey all...does the transformer dock to the keyboard correctly with the skins / screen protectors?
When I put the skinomi skin on my Galaxy Tab I experienced problems docking it to the HDMI stand/dock...
Anyone with input please advise...
Just a heads up for those planning on using the dock keyboard...

NO problems with the dock. It's tighter but still slips in.
I don't understand people's argument that Gorilla glass does not require a screen protector... there are numerous reasons to get a screen protector despite scratches. It feels differently, it reduces glare and fingerprints etc. I am happy I got one!
Found one on xoskins.com ......anybody have any experience with their products ?
I've been waiting forever because I love SteinHeil (sgpstore) screen protectors so much and I want something like that, instead of the wet application screen protectors. Help me find one pleease!
I have Skinomi & you can barely tell its on there. Plus, since it is a wet apply, I wasn't punished when I messed up the first time.
I have a clear B&E for sale if anyone is interested. Brand new, never used. PM me.
I just found a screen protector from lexard (think I spelled that wrong). Does anybody have experience with this company or know if this protector is any good?

I'm really starting to hate the texture of the Skinomi screen protector. It's slightly tacky and makes tracing kind of annoying. It's also not very durable on it's own and while acting as a buffer, it's prone to it's own nicks far more than thinker matte protectors I've used.

Anyone used this screen protector before? Nice price...but that makes me worry a bit about the quality.
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=skinomi&aq=f
I have one on my Transformer and Nexus S 4G and I'm happy with both.
They don't feel quite as durable as Invisible Shield (yet far, far more durable than the cheaper adhesive plastic models) but the installation is easier and the price is nice.
I have one arriving on 7/12 for my Evo 3D. I'll make a post related to my first impressions on it if you like.
I would appreciate.
Not as durable, what do you mean? I have never used a screen protector. Screwed one up when I tried to put one on my hero. Almost think it would be worth getting a zagg at best buy and paying to have it installed so I don't screw it up.
I just haven't heard the best things about zagg.
Thank you.
Skinomi are nice. I like them better than Zagg. They scratch fairly easy though. I'm using Clarivue screen protectors and like them better than Skinomi or Zagg. Skinomi has a lifetime warranty, like Clarivue and Zagg.
It's the material they use. Zagg's InvisibleShield feels like a thin rubber sheet while Skinomi's are a little more rigid (but less so that the dime a dozen cheap ones sold by Sprint). Putting a noticble, permanent scratch onto an InvisbleShield takes some serious effort. Overall, some things that will put a scratch on a Skinomi won't on a Zagg. For the money I think Skinomi is pretty solid and a far better investment than the thin velum ones (by Innocell and Writeright) that the Sprint stores in my area are pushing.
InvisibleShield does make the screen feel a little a little bumpy, almost sticky, when swiping (the "orange peel" effect some people refer to) whereas the Skinomi is totally smooth. I've never cared either way but some folks do seem to have a preference.
I'll post here again when I get my 3vo Skinomi and let you know what I think.

I've had the Zagg screen protectors and really didn't care for the feel. As stated above than can feel sticky when swiping, etc. I found some decent reviews on the Phantom Skinz screen protectors and decided to try it. Much better feel and once dries is hardly noticeable. Also seem to resist scratching very well. Plus you get 2 for the price of 1 and protectors for the glass on the back camera. Check them out:

Put it on, feels great. Look horrible....but I am assuming what appears to be moisture, scratches, and etc will disappear in a few days?
Screen scratched....but they are sending a new one.
Got a zagg installed. Love it. May keep this and give away the skinomi.
If anyone wants it, ill consider giving it away, you pay for shipping.
My small contribution to xda.
I actually got the full body film and it was fairly easy to install. The only thing I don't like is the ridges in the back of the EVO 3d turn out white and sustain the moisture from the solution. But the cut outs are perfect and the screen and camera protectors are nearly invisible. The touch to the screen protector is nice and smooth with no catch whatsoever. Also the film on the body give it a nice glazed look that I've grown to enjoy. I give this product an 8.5 out of ten. The screen protector on its own is 10th out of 10.

Is it on your Decepticon or Autobot? Because I always wanted a Prime.
My last phone was scratched, and among other issues with it, so I returned it for a new one. The scatches bummed me out so bad I made sure this time I'll get a screen protector. Bought the Zagg Smudge Free one for my phone and the feel is awesome, but it looks like ****. Everything is grainy and there are lines throughout the screen, so looking at 3D pictures and stuff sucks. If anyone can suggest an awesome screen protector that doesn't mess up picture quality, let me know.

I have used Zagg & just about every other screen protector out there. I have found XO Skins to be the best. They are much like Zagg, but are smoother, clearer & cure much better with less bubbles & imperfections in it. Just use Google & you will find them. You can also find many coupon codes for them. If I remember right BYUBLUE will get you $3 off.

Just wondering if they are needed for the flyer or will they get in the way when you use the pen ?
Sent from my Flyer!
I just got zagg invisible shield and i love the way it feels with my pen. Now i get good fiction using it on the screen and i can use the other side of the pen as a stylus without worrying about scratching the screen because of the metallic stylus.
Whether to use a screen protector or not seems like a very personal decision, based on opinions I've read on XDA. But I recommend using one. The Flyer does not have Gorilla Glass, and several people on here have had problems with scratches. The difference in feel is pretty minimal with a good quality protector, even when using the pen. So I don't think it will bother you in this regard. Some people even like the feel of the pen with the protector better than without. Apparently, the matte protectors (which I don't have) provide a little more friction, so the pen slips less and feels a bit more like writing on paper.
I have a Skinomi protector, and happy with it. I've also used Bodyguardz on my phone, and very happy with it, as well. But at the time I bought my Flyer, Bodyguardz didn't make a screen protector for it yet. But now they do.
If you end up not liking the protector, you can always take it off. Then you are just out $15-20. Better than going without, and regretting it, as there is no easy way to remove the scratches once they are there.
This one is working well for me

I agree with this here. Was afraid of the interaction with the pen, but it feels great. I've always been weary of the anti-glare protector's ability to really protect the screen.

I bought this and it's really cool for fingerprints
I just got my Invisible Shield @ Best Buy last night for $9.99.
I really like the way it feels on the screen. IMHO way better than just the glass.
I've really liked using DC Mugen's matte screen protectors on my Samsung phone. They're great at reducing glare and fingerprints, and I prefer the feel over just the glass. I was glad to find that they started making a screen protector for the Flyer / View. They ship from Hong Kong, so it takes a few weeks to get them here in the US. Mine just arrived, and I'm not missing the fingerprints and glare.
Here is the link to their eBay store: http://stores.ebay.com/dcmugen
To me, screen film is a must for Flyer. First the screen as some others indicated not Gorilla glass, and the bare glass is no good to use the pen due to too low friction. A good-quality antiglare film is good for i) the viewing experience with no light reflection ii) lowered friction for good handwriting with pen iii) of course to protect screen for any possible scratches. Better to have one than worrying later
So far I didn't put any screen protector on my flyer. I ordered one from amazon and also bought the sagged invisible shield from BB. However with the zagg protector I am somewhat scared that I might get some of the application solution into the device.
So how safe is it to apply these and then squeeze the water out?

People apply the Zagg films with solution all the time. Just don't use too much solution. I'm personally not a fan of the Zagg stuff it's too sticky.
Lately, I've been putting on screen protectors from Photodon. I use their HD anti-glare model. Easy install, good clarity, reduces glare and finger prints. One of the best I've used and I've gone through a ton of brands with my various iDevices.

I didn't notice that it was a 3-pack until after I placed the order, which is a nice bonus.
I use the 'Boxwave' screen protectors and it works great. On my VIEW is the clear, they sell anti-glare but haven't tried it.
I'm updating the original post because I have now received and applied this screen protector. You can see the photos and my comments here:
https://plus.google.com/photos/105537586944716449433/albums/5696831693307582225
Overall, it's pretty darn good. The fingerprint problem is practically non-existent now and the Prime's screen brightness more than makes up for the slight reduction in sharpness the anti-glare screen causes - even on Auto-Adjust Brightness. I can attest to the fact, that with some care and warm soapy water, the screen are removable and reusable. And they're pretty cheap to buy on Amazon.
Some small complaints:
* The punchouts for the camera and light sensor are completely punched out and more that one person will mess up their install trying to remove them. Even after installation they are a bit unsightly.
* The was no cardboard applicator despite what the instructions say but I didn't use one anyway. And the included lint free cloth frays at the edges with some use and leaves particles behind. Try a coffee filter instead.
* It's likely you will have one side that doesn't quite adhere to the screen along the edge if you handle it from that edge. This can cause you to inadvertantly unpeel the screen from time to time. But I've had that with every screen protector I've had what isn't part of a cover.
If you have any questions ask away and I will try to help.

I dont but one of the biggest gripes i have right now (and mirrored by others) is the insatiable appetite this screen has for finger prints. And the glossiness.
I want a matte finish so i can see it clearly outside and not worry about blinding myself or anyone ....Can anyone who has put on matte screen protectors chime in on how happy they were...if the colors were muted too much (yes, glossy = gorgeous) and if the tacileness changed when sliding fingers?
While I have never personally used a matte screen protector, the general consensus is that they do dull the screen a bit and the texture a bit.

My boyfriend bought this same protector for his TF101 (although it was a 1-pack, not a 3-pack) and he's still happy with it. I personally think that the antiglare protectors make the screen look cheap and plasticky and would rather wipe off prints than have my screen look less clear, so I buy the crystal-clear ones (I have an order from the same company on Amazon for the crystal 3-pack).
Like a lot of you, though, he wanted to reduce glare and prints so it has worked well for him. He had a very problematic application but in a three-pack you get more tries, and all of the bubbles except for one or two settled out over time. The included stylus is a piece of junk.

Thanks for this, this has been popping up all over the place. While I appreciate the time and effort that went into this guide, half the stuff needs to be removed as its for the original transformer and could easily confuse someone.
for people who have it, how is the texture? my biggest gripe with screen protectors (next to the fact that i can never get them on clean with no bubbles) is that they have a more sticky texture compared to bare glass.
the coating on the prime's screen makes fingerprint cleaning super easy though for what it's worth.

To me, the TF101 one (the matte one) feels like the LCD screen of my laptop, the several-generations-ago Macbook Pro. Non-glossy, a little plasticky but not grippy/a problem for swiping a finger.

Doesn't release til the 6th. I ordered one too, I'll update as to how well also. P.S. Skinomi's dry install screen protector is effin garbage...
I've used both on other devices. The matte skin does dull things up a bit, but if you want anti-glare that is the only solution you have. It also helps with finger prints a little. The clear, is just a screen protector which you will still get the glare and some finger prints. It just boils down to preference. I happen to HATE glare, so I usually stick with the matte. I'll just increase brightness by one notch and I'll be fine.
This screen protector seems to be in stock now on Amazon, anyone receive theirs yet??
I'm still hesitant to order one but I want to get rid of these damn fingerprints

In Codyco's defense... You do get really annoying with that. If you're going to be that repetitive about it, make sure it's a damnedly good formatted post, and right now it's not.
As for the OP. I had a Steinheill (SGP) antiglare/matte screen protector on my Samsung GT10.1 and I LOVED it.
I read my text books on my tablet so I am reading on it more than I am consuming video, and I could absolutely not stand at the glare on the screen. The screen protector even let me read the tablet outside without staring at the trees and their leaves behind me.
That being said, there was a slight degradation in screen quality but the antiglare tradeoff made it *much* more than worth it. Plus it makes swiping across the screen buttery smooth. However, that was a top quality screen protector. Ymmv with a cheaper brand.
I utterly cannot get the people who lambast them, as they have to deal with ridiculous amounts of reflections.
Hey guys,
Looking for a quality, wet-apply, non rubbery feel screen protector that is compatible with the dock (either cutout, or thin enough to not impede dock usage). Any suggestions?
I have tried multiple screen protectors on multiple devices and never really been satisfied as they reduce the responsiveness of the screen and usually peel off over time. This device has Gorilla glass, so I don't believe a screen protector is required.

been the same for me, never really been happy with the feeling / lack of response using them so always come off.
I have a Skinomi skin (tablet + dock) and am pretty happy with it. You can also use skinomi25 for a 25% discount.
I've never had any other type of skin though, so I can't really compare.
I've heard people say that the Skinomi skins have a rubbery texture though. Is that the case in your experience?
Dont buy a screen protector it's pointless. Gorilla glass is amazing

No offence, and I appreciate the suggestions, but I wasn't asking whether or not I should get a screen protector, but whether there's a screen protector that fits the criteria I want.

Skinomi is good +1 on that. Running full body protection + full body keyboard protection. While yes corning gorilla glass shouldn't scratch but better to be safe than sorry. Especially if your carrying it inside a bag and such.
Both Skinomi and Zagg screen protectors are rubbery. Skinomi is less rubbery than Zagg but neither are really unnoticeable when applied. Most matte screen protectors won't be rubbery but they will alter the look of your screen slightly.
Some people swear by the A case matte screen protector http://www.amazon.com/Transformer-1...47YW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1333282964&sr=8-2
In general though, the look and feel of a screen protector is a very subjective thing so you may have to try a few before you find one you like.
Know you're asking about wet-apply, but I use the Elecom TB-ASTF201FLBS, and am really pleased with it so far.
Course, I haven't used the prime without it, so I wouldn't know whether there's less sensation than doing it in the buff. Imagine we'll get around to that after we get to know each other better...
But looking on Amazon.com, I'm not sure you can get this outside of Japan.
I bought this off of ebay in January even before I got my Prime, I usually was concerned about wet-apply as I'd never used it before.
It looks like the bubbles will stay at first, but push most of them off with a credit card, wait 48-hours and I promise you the water/soapy look underneath and all of the bubbles disappear.
I love it, doesn't feel super rubbery, and it seems just as responsive.

I agree with coach. I've had a Zagg Invisible Shield on my HTC Aria since the first week or purchase. It works as advertised, keeps the screen protected and scratch free.
HOWEVER, personally, Zagg does have a rubbery feel and as everyone else mentioned, will reduce screen sensitivity.
