Anyone have any experience with using the dock with tf with screen protector. not so much for protection but for the texture of it. the TFs screen is really sticky specially when clean, and i really like the texture of phantom skinz on my phone.
i'm just wondering how the added thinkness would prevent the tf from docking correctly? also if the skin gets stressed out due to the constant contact with the dock.

no problem here at all with my I pad cut out modified EXIM screen protector and dock.
Skinomi carbon fiber and screen protector fit just fine with the dock.

My transformer prime hasn't arrived yet, but it should any day now. I'd like to have a screen protector ready to apply when I unbox the tablet.
Has anyone here used this ZAGG invisibleSHIELD with their Transformer Prime? Does it actually fit right on the front and back? Are there any issues with clarity? Does it still allow your finger to slide smoothly across the screen like it's supposed to?

Update: I went ahead and ordered it, since it has a lot of good reviews with other devices. If you order the full body version from zagg.com you automatically get free shipping. Using the coupon code "fbfans25" will also remove $10 from the price.
Looks the same as Extreme Guard for twice the price.
I got the Extreme Guard one and even though the back skin looks and works great, I wasn't too thrilled with the screen protector due to it being slightly (very) off and I couldn't get it lined perfectly and ended up throwing it away.
I ordered the full protector and it's on it's way. I have really liked the Zagg products in the past on other devices. I will post an update when I get mine and have it installed.

Let us know if it fits in the dock if you have one. I know the skinomi skins have trouble with it when fully covered. Thanks
Yes let us know what you think of it once you get it. I have one on my iPhone and I'm considering it for my Prime but I have the same concerns you do regarding look and feel. I'm also curious about the fit at the back. Does it stretch over the raised ASUS lettering or is it cut out?

where did you find one for the prime I have only seen it for og transformer?
My Zagg arrived today. It works great. Just make sure the bottom of the screen is securely on if you have the dock. It is a tight fit, but it certainly works wells.
I have it for just the screen btw....

Getting my Prime covered with GhostArmor tomorrow. They have kiosks at nearly every mall. If they do a bad job then you can request a refund. Costs 35 for full shield, and only 10 for following visits to entirely replace the skin.
I don't trust myself with clear shields.
i use the ZAGG TF101 only cause its cheaper...$14.99 and its only a bit smaller then the TFP201,with the case on, the screen is completely protected anyway so the TF101 ZAGG is probably the way to go!!! I love ZAGG products

Have you noticed any line forming on the screen protector where it touches the dock? Someone was saying that happened with the full body skinomi protector in another thread.

Have u gotten the protector yet? I was thinking about doing this too. Is it too thick to fit in the dock?
I updated the original post with a coupon code(fbfans25) I found for 25% off. Hopefully when both the protector and the tablet come in I can post a short review.
i hate zaggs because they tend to stick to my fingers, i prefer bodyguardz. i get better grip with the zagg, but when playing games like fruit ninja, it gets really hard when my fingers are sticking the the protector. i have had about 4 zaggs, and 2 bodyguards. bodygurads are still my favorite
It didn't fit the screen correctly due to size differential? I'm considering getting the extreme guard caz of its price - do you know if it works with the dock?

Ghost Armor just applied
I just put GA on my prime tonight so its still drying, etc.
Initial thoughts;
Unlike Zagg, there is less of the "orange Peel" effect, I didn't mind that in fact i have Zagg on all my phones and like the grippiness. The GA has a very slight orange peel but i think that is just the nature of a vinyl or poly protector.
It's very shiny, make the back look like it was shellacked, again not bad but the texture on Aluminum is lost.
I will say i was a disappointed with the cut of the front and back pieces, I don't know if the material shrinks after cutting but the front piece is a good 1/8 to short on one side. The back is about 1/16 all around. It doesn't look bad but i know its there.
There are cutouts for everything, the speaker, headphone jack, light sensors and cameras. the kit did come with thin pieces for the beveled edge. that was nice, those pieces are sized almost perfectly.
Question
For those you got the Zagg full body kit, how does it fit with the dock?
well i have them installed right now and they are leaving marks on the screens where the dock connects. not really impressed. i will probably remove the shields.

That sucks! I have my full body shield waiting for the prime, which comes on Monday. Hopefully I can figure out some way to use it, even if it's the screen part only. I'd hate to have to send it back. Of course this all depends on whether or not I need to send the actual prime back due to dead pixels or some other issue.
Well i took the the screen one off but left the back on. You could cut the protector or notch out where the dock touches the screen.

I want to get a protector for my Prime, any input on which methods is better, ie. lasts longer and better protection?
And by Skinimi I mean Skinomi..
My last Skinomi on my phone ended up peeling off, but fwiw the skin seemed very durable and strong. Almost like a thin plastic cover. I could still dock my phone with the skin on.
I like the metal finish, so no skinomi for me this round.
I've used several skins (zagg, skintech, skinomi). I like the skinomis better than the others. Just get the screen cover, not the full jacket. Installing has always been easy and I've only experience problems when dust gets under the corners, like on my epic 4g after I've taken it in and out of my pocket a million times. I can't imagine with the prime it's going to get much dust under the corners. I think it makes the screen touch feel better as well, and then you never have to worry what you wipe the screen with. The dry covers to me, add a strange thickness and change the optics of viewing the screen... Just my 10 cents!
Thanks for the info guys!! Really I am will to take anything at the moment because there is nothing in Canada yet!!!

I really like my skinomi screen protector. Pretty nice feel, not too much of a difference if any in sensitivity. Its as close to invisible as I figure it will get. The bubbles were also impressive, because they sort of "breathed" out of the skin. It was odd to see considerable bubbles disappear in hours.
I was gonna put my skinomi protector on but I stuck with just the skin because my prime is usually in the dock so the chances of scratching in the dock are very unlikely

I have both the skinomi carbon fiber skin and the wet-application screen protector on mine, both are fantastic.
Putting the vinyl back and tiny pieces on is soooo much easier with a heat gun! A really hot hair dryer would probably suffice, but you will need one or the other.

I want a clear screen protector too and I wouldn't mind having something clear for the back but I don't want it messing up if I eventually get the dock. So the Skinomi is one of the best. I found cheaper ones on Amazon like 3 for 8.99 and I found this one 2-Pack Stealth Shieldz© ASUS eee Pad TRANSFORMER PRIME TF201 Screen Protector LIFETIME WARRANTY (Ultra CLEAR) for 14.99 and you get two. I want whatever will be easy for him to put on and what will look the most invisible and still be able to have good touch sensitivity. Should I put a clear skin on the back too? Does Skinomi sell a combo pack with both in it? Thanks!
Has anyone had any experience with the Skinomi full-body protector and the TF Prime keyboard dock?
I want to get a skin for the back of the tablet mainly to prevent fingerprints (this thing is a fingerprint factory) but I also have the keyboard dock and I don't want to shell out for a skin if the dock is just gonna scrape it off.
Is there any further word on the updated full body skins from Skinomi? If I recall correctly someone posted that Skinomi is going to come out with a version that has a cutout at the bottom so it doesn't interfere with docking.

I have applied the Skinomi carbon fiber Design Skin on the back of the Prime (did not install the TechSkin screen protector), and so far have not noticed any problems with the skin being scraped or loosened by inserting the Prime in the keyboard dock. I like the texture and additional grip that the carbon fiber skin provides, as well as reducing the "coldness" of the bare aluminum back.
Note: I've only had the Skinomi skin on for a few days, so will update this response if I notice any issues.
I just want a clear skin for the back and a protector for the front. Not sure what to order still. I may eventually get the dock too. But the back of mine is always cold.

Thanks! Keep us updated
I didn't get a chance to read this forum so i ended up damaging the front screen protector when i dock it to the keyboard. I already contact skinomi about it and they reply back :
We would like to apologize for any inconvenience. Our design team is in the midst of correcting this issue. The moment we have corrected this design we will be sending you a new revamped screen/skin protector. If you have anymore questions or concerns please feel free to contact our customer service department. Have a great day!.
So i guess i'll update my post when they do send me or contact me about a new replacement.
I've had my Prime for about a week and the back is already scratched a lot from just placing it on tables. Does anybody else here have a scratched up back?

Yea, I got scratches from putting it on stuff like grains of salt and other impurities on the table. It was really awful having to worry about the surface I put it on. Ive been so much more at east now that I got the carbon fiber skinomi skin. It looks nice and protects from scratch (and hides old ones)
Yeah the back scratches quite easily. Mine already has a few but it doesn't really bother me that much. If you are worried about it there are some clear and patterned skins available, take a look in the accessories forum.

should check out the Skinomi Skins, Get a complete set (includes the shield for screen, for the back of it, even the edges around it - Then for the top of the keyboard, bottom of it the edges all way around also the slot.) I bought it, arrived couple days after. Costs about same price as a zagg. Got it on Amazon. Have carbon fiber color looks, brushed steel ones (one i got, has nice feel to it also) and think even clear as well.

Not a single nick. I always use a cloth under my prime on tables. Our I user it on my bed.

I've got one big nasty scratch that goes from the asus logo up to the camera area. It's pretty deep and i have no clue how it got there. At first i hated myself for scratching the back but now i don't care anymore. As long as the screen is fine it's ok i think.
Thankfully the screen is protected when you take it on the road with the dock.
Until I get a Skinomi, I'm going to keep my Prime on a microfibre cloth, the soft case I'm using to carry it around, or my bed.
I'm going to completely baby this thing.
I have some and i dont care. Its something i use so it will look "used" after a while. I'm fine with that.

My scratches are pretty light but they're definitely noticable.
If you are worried about scratches, I would really recommend the Skinomi clear skin for the back of your Prime. Not only does it help protect from scratches, but it also makes it easy to wipe fingerprints off the back. Oh, and it looks great!
Wow that does look nice.

Yeah. The back scratches really easily. I personally don't care about scratches on the back though. I'm not starting at the back when I use the tablet. As long as the screen stays scratch free, I'm happy. That's why the transleeve I'd perfect for me.

To those who have the skinomi skin, did you get the "keyboard dock compatible" version or the regular one? I'm interested if the regular version (that doesn't have the bottom cutout) will still fit in the dock.

The regular one gets scratched up and peels if you dock it a few times. No reason to get the regular one if you are going to dock it.
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
Sent from my Gnex
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.
have had no problems with zagg... can see where it sits in the dock when not connected, but great otherwise
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
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.
