Can anyone who has bought or seen a Boxwave Crystal screen protector on the Touch HD comment on it. It seems like the Brando one is a little too short on the bottom, however, fits perfectly everywhere else. How is the fit of the Boxwave protector? Does it leaves any gaps? Any info would be much appreciated.
haven't bought one yet but from the looks of it, it does seems like it covers the whole screen unlike brando's.
well, the website shows that is covers it perfectly but the orange outline is just computer generated so it's not for sure the actual protector will be perfect...if anyone's actually used one on their Touch HD, please let us know...
i just ordered mine i've been waiting for them to get one. so i'll post back when i receive it.
brando's doesn't have a cut out for the front camera.
boxwave's fits almost perfectly, with a little space around the edges.
i preferred boxwave's.
I bought my screen protector from www.screenguardz.com for my HD. It has the hole for the cameraand fits great. I screwed up the first one I installed, but they I have been using them for sometime now. I've installed their product on all my phones. Just my 2 cents

Well, here's an update. I decided to buy the boxwave CRYSTAL cleartouch screen protector and I think it's perfect. The custom cut is as good as it can get. It has appropriately sized cutouts for both the speaker and camera, and leaves a very slight gap around all of the edges, which is just enough to be able to pull it off if you wanted too. I haven't bought the brando one, but based on pictures, it seems to have a much larger gap on the bottom but is good everywhere else.
As far as quality of the boxwave one, you can't even tell it's on (still looks like glass), is extremely smooth, and has been scratch resistant so far. As others have said, fingerprints are more noticeable on the screen protector vs the actual screen (in general, this is true for the CRYSTAL version of any company's screen protector...the ANTI-GLARE versions are less prone to fingerprints however aren't as smooth and have a hazy look...so it just depends on what you prefer).
Anyway, I know it's only a screen protector, but hopefully this helps any other OCD people out there.
I have the Brando one, and yes it's about 1mm too short at the bottom.
Personally, I don't have a problem with that, as the protection is fine, and the finish (invisible, like glass) and durability (bomb-proof) are frankly perfect.
Haven't seen a Boxwave one, have only seen their anti-glare one, but my guess would be they're on a par. Prolly comes down to what you can get hold of...
Hey everyone,
looking for a great screen protector that helps with the glare issue and viewing angles. I'm not expecting wonders but anything to help. Hate the fact I see reflection on screen sometimes. Any info would be great. Thanks

How about checking the Skinomi thread in this very first page of this section ?
I just orderded some screen protectors from ebay hong kong. 11.99 for 3. ill let you know how they work.
Good Screen Protector
Ordered one from Amazon made by Aurum(do a search). It came quickly and I am very happy with it, wished I waited a few days, they have a deal going on with it.
It says its made from Japanese PET, in my experience it is better than those "military" strength ones like Zagg etc(bad evo 4g experience). This one has a dry application and protected on both top and bottom by covers (a protector for the protector). Ships from the US.
I have the Skinomi. I'm happy with it, but it does not appear to help with glare or screen angles (though, honestly, I only used it for a few minutes before installing the protector).

Go with the Skinomi one. It's cheap (relatively if you consider lifetime free replacement) and if you don't botch the installation it looks fantastic. And... you don't have to wait three weeks for something to come from China.
Don't get me wrong, I buy stuff from China sometimes but only when I can't get it here or if it's a lot more money to get it from here.
Anyone have recommendations for screen protectors? Looking for helping with anti glare and no finger prints on it. Any info would be great. Thank for all the feedback so far.

I just ordered one of the Aurums too. I have a "matte" type screen protector on my iphone and I really like it so I hope the aurum one is similar. I will update once it arrives.

Do you mean this one ? according to the user image its not custom made (no holes for the camer/sensors) not sure if it would even cover the bezel + the screen.

The Skinomi one requires a WET application, that then has to dry, do you really want to spray some liquid on your new g-tab? I tried this on my Evo installation was a pain but then my fingers got stuck scrolling, so I learned my lesson and stick to the PET material which has a silicone coating for smooth movement
Aurum Screen Protector
You are right, I have the Aurum one from Amazon on my G-tablet, and there are no holes, but I do not see a difference in camera performance. The protector covers bezel to bezel. I've used the camera with and without the protector, all I know is that it is as grainy before as it was after the Aurum screen protector. I do not use the camera(I really do not need anyone getting scared looking at me) so it's fine by me, it the smoothness of movement that matters.
just my $0.02, but why not use the one by Zagg....?..

Thanks for the info, Traderny. Would you say that the Aurum screen protector allows for smoother gliding movements than the unprotected GTab screen? I'm hoping to find something that provides a nice swipe feel. Too often my fingers would "stick" to the naked screen or (less so, but still) the Skinomi protector.
My .2 cents

Wet application screen protectors have been around for a while and it has been shown to not be an issue if you follow the directions on installation. There are thousands of people that have used wet installation screen protectors here in the gTab forums that have reported no residual issues with the gTab during/after application.
Also, you don't spray liquid on the gTab, rather you're supposed to spray the liquid on both sides of the screen protector before application and dab up the excess liquid as you work it to the edges with the provided plastic card.
I've used both PET and this style of screen protectors on devices before and I prefer this over the PET as I have found the PET style protectors to be too shiny for my tastes.
Among the most helpful reviews for the PET protector on Amazon there are these comments:
1.) Good product, but a pain to put on. Just the slightest piece of dust will cause an air bubble.
2.) According to the packaging, this item is "Finger print free" and "Bubble free application". I experienced both. I would NEVER purchase this product again or recommend it.
Just goes to show you that people will find something to complain about no matter what the product is.
Protectors Protect
My experience with screen protectors on cell phones is that they are only good to protect the screen from damage. All of them will show fingerprints, smudges, grease and oil. This is esp. true with a touch screen. it's like wearing glasses you got to clean them alot. So save time money and headache by putting a microfiber cloth in the bag with your Gtab.
I went with the Exim anti-glare screen protectors, but did have to wait for shipping from China. I bought a complete skinomi skin set, and promptly botched the wet application of the screen protector, but since I wanted the anti-glare it just meant a week wait for the Chinese Air Mail which I had already ordered.
Overall I like the Exim, it was easy to install without any bubbles, though you might want to trim the corners a bit as its a very tight fit. I ended up cutting them off after applying it because I had the screen on perfectly without a single dust mote making a raised area. I don't mind a poorly cut corner, but do wish I had just done a quick trimming beforehand as I wasn't perfectly centered.
2 for $12.99... Was worth the wait.
Hey Naieve,
does it really help with the anti glare issue? Also does it have any issues with the touch screen interface? Is the screen protector to thick that it doesnt detect your finger movement on the screen? Any help on the finger print issues haha?
It helps some with the glare, definitely diffuses the light, but it looks more like a compromise in between a clear protector and some of the very heavy anti-glare screen protectors I've seen. I like it because of this actually. As to issues with the touch screen, I spent some time googling before buying, and while I forget where I read it the fact is there is no difference while using this protector. Even a light touch still works just fine. I wonder if that is the reason this AG protector diffuses less light, as I have heard of some AG protectors being too thick and screwing up touch. It does still show fingeprints, but its not that bad and is easy to clean. Definitely less noticeable than just the screen itself.

I said I would update once my Aurum arrived. Like others have mentioned, there is no cutout for the camera or sensor - I don't know what effect that has nor do I really care. I never use the camera anyway.
The protector itself fits perfectly on the screen - it is so perfect that I had trouble aligning it properly and i would get halfway done installing it and notice it was running off the side of the screen slightly.
It took a few minutes to install because I did want it to be perfect. Now that it is installed I am really happy with it. My fingers slide better across the screen and there are far less fingerprints. I am happy with my purchase.
The Flyer magic Pen would work better, for note taking, when using a matt surface. any ideas on a good matt screen protector?
I can confirm the Scribe works better with a Matt screen protector.

I put a zagg shield on mine and prefer it over the "naked" screen. I like the feel of th zagg when using the Flyer w/wo the pen.

Thank you so much, I already dug through Amazon.de, but I couldn't find any matte screen protector - is that one a matte one? I am after a matte protection in order to receive more natural writing experience as reported.pe
Edith speaking: this is the only matte one available in good ol' Germany. Thanks for the notice! Finally, the Navitech case is shipping here as well .
Well I'm pretty sure it's matt.
But you can also take the one from mumbi. They are available as "antiflex" and "cristalclear" ones... I bet all of them are pretty much the same so I bet you could go for the one I posted before or you can get the mumbi screen protector which is even cheaper.

Could you post where you purchased one in the US?
I just took off my matte screen (GreatShield from Amazon US).
I didn't think it helped that much with using the pen and it really dulled my screen. Maybe there is another brand matte screen that doesn't dull the screen as much as the GS shield does?
Additionally... there is no cutout for the front facing camera.
Tried two matt protectors, this one was easy to apply and does not dull the screen too much but enhances note taking: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004S79VE2/ref=oss_product
I think this is Euro product.
I just applied the GrestShield product from Amazon referenced above... Both posts are the same product. I bought mine from and Amazon UK, but was fulfilled from the US.
I prefer the matte / anti-glare because it reduces fingerprints on large touchscreen devices. The screen protector is made of a thicker plastic which builds confidence from a protection perspective. It does reduce the brightness of the device slightly, but I've had my flyer set on the lowest brightness setting for indoor use. Increasing the brightness should help.
I haven't played much with the pen yet, but I see no added affect good or bad. Again its the reassurance of protecting the screen with a metal accessory in such close proximity. Especially if you plan to use the other end of the pen as a capacitive stylus.
Overall very happy with the screen protector so far.
UPDATE: the screen protector makes the front camera unusable, but mine was such a poor quality I had essentially written it off. But I will keep an eye out for one with the camera cut-out.
I found the matt GreatShield was difficult to apply (caught a lot of air bubbles) and dulled the screen too much, but does make it easier to use the stylus for detailed notes.
I got the GreatShield clear screen protector and it works great. I don't even notice it's on and the pen works great. Now I can apply pressure when drawing and not worry about scratching the screen. Not too difficult to put on. It does cover the front camera, but since it's clear, I don't really notice a difference. I got the screen protector from Amazon in the US.

I find it a little strange to look through. My screen really lost on clarity, it is now all like covered with dust, a bit like through snow or something... definitely not the best experience with the FoliX. Maybe I need to get used to it, but I had a better experience (though no anti-glare) with glossy protectors on my smartphones back then.

Yes my one seemed like at first, but I seem not to notice it now. Also the feel when using finger input (swipes etc) is better.
The mate screen protector deteriorates the clarity of the screen slightly... It like a haze. For now, it's worth the sacrifice for protections sake. But self definitely keeping an eye out for more options in the future.
I'm trying to decide which will be a better fit for a screen protector. Right now, there really seems to be only two contenders. The Zagg and the Skinomi, links provided. I know there are generic protectors but I'm looking for the "best of class" for this beast. Anyone have any suggestions before I scratch this baby?

I personally hate the wet type of protectors for the screen. It messes up the smoothness of the touchscreen & your fingers don't glide over it easily (especially the tacky feeling Zaggs. Those are the worst).
Go with the dry ones (the kind that use static cling to stick). I ordered the REALOOK protector from Amazon that gets good reviews on their other devices. Should be here in a day or two. They feel as smooth as glass.
I guess it's a matter of preference. I had a Zagg on my Focus for a year now, and it works great for me. It does give the screen a more "grippy" feel though, but I actually like that. If you want it to feel slick, I probably wouldn't go with the wet style. Another plus for the wet though is that it's pretty much invisible when applied. You won't get any peeling or bubbling like a dry protector. A lot of screen protectors are quite noticeable when they're put on a phone.
Reading the Realook reviews on Amazon shows they get mostly great reviews. I might have to give them a try one day. For now, I'll stick with Zagg though. It just arrived yesterday, and my phone should be in by Thursday, so it'll be the first thing I install.
AT&T
I got the one from AT&T from there website and LOVE LOVE the feel it gives.
Just enough Drag to feel comfortable.
wrapsol makes some good ones as well. haven't decided what to get yet...
Got from tmart (can't post a link yet)
search ror item BD005788
Not bad at all
Brando Ultra Clear is the best.
got the htc one from clove technology.excellent fit
My Realook screen protectors came in today. I held off on installing the Zagg to try these. I can say, this is probably the most crystal clear protector I've ever put on a phone. It is 100% invisible.
So what's the con. The fit is so exact, they must have measured in microns. It still bubbles up at the extreme top right corner because it's hitting the small ridge that loops the front face. I definitely ding it for that. I guess if you have robo eyes and can place this thing on exactly, and I do mean EXACTLY, it would be the best protector I've seen. I can't see any blank space what so every, but it's still not on 100%.
The screen is slightly less slippery which I like too. It gives it a better feel. For the price, I think it's worth it. Besides, even if it peels off, you still have a second one to apply.

Yep, got mine in too. And I agree. Its almost TOO perfect, meaning they cut this thing so there's hardly ZERO room for error when applying. I actually ended up scrapping the first one I applied (it comes w two) because I wasn't satisfied with the slight bubble in the corner.
But I FINALLY managed to install the second one perfectly. Now its amazing & 100% perfect. Thank God, cause it freakin took forever. You really have to have patience when applying these. Be sure to stick a small piece of scotch tape on the bottom side so you can peel it up easily, because you're going to be doing that a lot to get it to seat just right.
I installed the maximum body Zagg and the screen protector turned out perfect. I've installed zaggs on LG Quantum, and Samsung Focus so I had some practice. For some reason the Titan zagg seems better quality than the ones installed on the other phones. I'm really not seeing any orange peel. I also put on the case mate tough case and doesn't mess up the zagg protection at all. For the Titan I love the Zagg
Sent from my HTC Titan using Board Express
I never liked the grabbiness of the Zagg protectors. I ordered the ATT offered two-pack not knowing they were the full on glare reducing version. At first, it was a little too much, but the glare reduction seems to settle in a bit with use. OR my eyes are used to it now, but I quite like it after using it for a while. I matches the matte finish of the phone.
That said, I do want a screen protector that doesn't have anti-glare made by the same people as the ATT Samsung Focus version. Super slick, was pretty tough. Anyone know the vendor that made it for ATT?
"Orange peel" - that's a good description of my Focus Zagg screen protector. It didn't bother me though. I still have my Zagg in my drawer if the Realook craps out, but I don't think so.
I just bought the Skinomi Carbon Fiber full body kit that comes with a screen protector and really like it.
One BIG problem though: The Carbon Fiber back skin seems to have killed my signal strength. I now get no service instead of 3 bars? It covers the whole back of the phone. Even the plastic antennae area.
I'm surprised that it would kill your signal strength. I would check the metal contacts on the back case and the phone to make sure everything is touching and seated properly. Someone else in the forum tried that, and it fixed their problem.
I'm using atFolix anti-glare screen protector, it's brilliant get improved contrast and it's finger print resistant!

Ok I'll answer my own question! Curiosity got better of me so decided to get Rock Naked Screen Protector AF & AG, and sure enough it's clearer then atFolix anti-glare screen no frost effect!
So if anyone's interested here are the Pros and Cons between the two screen protectors:
atFolix anti-glare got it from here http://www.amazon.co.uk/atFoliX-FX-...0VSQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330083294&sr=8-1 :
Pros:
- Easy to fit
- Perfectly fits the screen of the Titan no gaps!
- Excellent anti-glare and anti-fingerprint
Cons:
- You lose sharpness of the display and get frosted glass effect on close inspection!
- Easily scratches!
Rock Naked Screen Protector AF & AG got it from here http://www.obostore.com/rock-anti-f...ed-screen-protector-for-htc-titan-p-3597.html :
Pros:
- Good anti-glare and anti-fingerprint
- You don't lose sharpness of display i.e. no frosted glass effect
Cons:
- Fiddly to put on!
- Not a perfect fit for Titan about 1mm gap around screen!
- Easily Scratches
For me between the two I prefer the Rock Naked Screen Protector over atFolix losing screen sharpness/frosted glass effect was too much of a compromise!
Have had the TF300 for about a week and just cannot stand the fingerprints and worries about scratches. I'm used to Gorilla Glass and this is driving me nuts. I've been researching screen protectors quite a bit and cannot seem to get a consensus on a certain brand. I know the selection for the TF300 right now is slim, but given what you've used on earlier devices, what is a good brand to go with?
I have it in a case (Caseen Designo), but would like an extra layer of protection.
I've had good experiences with SGP's Steinheil screen protectors. I've used both the clear ones as well as the matte glare reduction/smudge resistant models and have been happy with both. The usual reduction in clarity is in the matte protector, but the cut was very precise and it lasted me a year before i took it off because i missed the crisp picture of the IPS panel, the protector was still pristine.
I just keep a microfiber and a small credit card style sprayer with 50/50 alcohol and water mix in the bag that i keep the tablet in, and its been alright so far, if you keep it in the dock most of the time you shouldn't have to worry about it being scratched unless you drop it or something, which i have yet to do since i also have a skinomi techskin on the back so its nice and grippy.
SGP doesn't make a protector for the TF300 yet, but i'd keep an eye on it, they make some solid products.
screen size is same as prime so protectors made for the prime should work.

You may want to check camera and light sensor placement before you put a prime screen protector on. They may be the same but it never hurts to check
Nothing else will work with the TF300 unfortunately.
I've been researching like crazy and think I've narrowed it down to:
Zagg
Stenheil
XtremeGuard
Those seem to get the best reviews. I'm really looking for:
same feeling as naked screen
optimal clarity
mitigates fingerprints
If you've never felt a zagg's wet apply film before i suggest you find someone who's got something similar to it and try it first, i see one of the criteria is feel close to naked screen, zagg and other wet apply soft skins usually feel grippy when you first install it, and gradually over time will wear out and feel smoother. In general there are the wet apply films which feel a bit like vinyl except its clear, or the dry apply protectors which are harder pieces of plastic, those will feel closer but nothing will be quite like a naked screen.
Is there big difference on screen sensitive between glossy and matte screen protector? or just you see difference of screen quality...
Thanks
I almost wonder if I might just be better off with a naked screen. I have my TF300 in a Caseen leather case and am always very careful when it's in use. The only thing I'd like to mitigate is the fingerprints.
Wait for a ClearCoat screen protector....i have tried every other brand and there is NOTHING like them. Super thin, no spongey feeling or orange peel....
I bought the xtremeguard one on ebay for 8.99 It fits great. The one I got isn't anti-glare though. One thing that kind bothers me, since I have never used a screen protection before, is that my fingers don't glide as easily as in the glass, it shows a bit of resistance. But I guess I just got to get used to that. I have not seen a reduction in screen sensitivity as of yet, but my dagi stylus kinda sucks now with the screen protector T_T since its plastic on plastic the resistance is really bad.
I like my skinomi. it takes forever to apply since it's wet application and if you're OCD about bubbles/lint like me. But once you've got it on there perfect and wait for it to dry and clear up it's not bad at all +lifetime guarantee.
I've always liked wet applications over the adhesive/static stuff just because they last a long time, and I havent noticed the yellowing people have talked about on any of my devices, I agree about the stylus issue, though (jot pro)
+1 for skinomi...
I used to swear by Zagg ...
Skinomi has only a slight orange peel effect and is generally smother except I agree it is still a nogo for the Jot pro as it doesn't let the plastic disk glide
after a while the Zagg invisible skins would start to keep my finger from sliding properly...
Skinomi skins do not have this issue and they dont show finger smudges very much
I want to try the Zagg HD skins as they are supposed to be glass smooth but they seem to only be out for iProducts and the kindle fire.....

It would be cool if the Zagg HD worked with plastic disk styluses

the lifetime warrenty requires you to pay for shipping and handling by paying for the shipping and they also ask that you put your cc# on a paper and send it in. kinda risky there.

You may want to check camera and light sensor placement before you put a prime screen protector on. They may be the same but it never hurts to check

just got the bestskinsever protector for the prime and size is the same and cut out for camera is in the right spot. should be good to go on other protectors made for prime.

I bought the xtremeguard one on ebay for 8.99 It fits great. The one I got isn't anti-glare though. One thing that kind bothers me, since I have never used a screen protection before, is that my fingers don't glide as easily as in the glass, it shows a bit of resistance. But I guess I just got to get used to that.

This will pass eventually from wear, on my zune hd i used to have an invisible shield which is a similiar kind of wet apply soft protector, and eventually the center part wore down enough to where it was like a hard plastic protector.
You bring up a good point though that i forgot to mention, i've used matte hard protectors, clear hard protectors, and soft wet apply films and my adonit jot still works best on a naked screen, though the matte hard protector had more of a paper resistance to it and the clear and naked both were much smoother.
Szpaner: the touchscreen sensitivity for me was largely the same between a clear hard protector and matte hard protector, i wasn't able to glide as well with the wet apply film so i wasn't able to gauge properly how sensitive it was compared to the other two.
mfratella: a light coat of rain-x on the naked screen helps make it much easier to wipe clean, i can breathe on it once or twice and the condensation is good enough to clear the whole screen. Even with the matte hard protectors which are supposed to be designed to be anti-fingerprint, they will still show up eventually from the oils in your finger, those spots will end up being a little more transparent so you'd have to wipe anyway, though in my experience the matte ones are the easiest to wipe, i used to just use my sleeve and give it a once over and it was all clean.

Is there big difference on screen sensitive between glossy and matte screen protector? or just you see difference of screen quality...
Thanks

When I've used a matte screen protector, I didn't notice any difference in screen sensitivity. The biggest difference is in the clarity of the screen. On a phone, I can deal with the graininess that a matte screen protector brings with it. But on a tablet with a large screen, something that I'm going to use for long periods of reading, it's far too distracting for me. Personally, I'd rather work around glare now and then along with wiping off finger prints in exchange for a clearer screen.
Screen protectors compatible with dock?
The Armorsuit people replayed on an email I sent them asking if their screen protector was compatible with the keyboard for the TF300.. it appears it is not. They answered me just to be careful... so I was planing on cuting it. these screen protector is actually pretty good, and I think that I wont even notice the protector end-line at the bottom of the screen after a while. Do you know if cutting it actually works?
I just installed the Skinomi on mine. Took about 5 minutes and it's perfect. Just gotta makes sure you soak the hell out of the screen (you won't damage it) and both sides of the protector plus your hands so that you don't leave finger prints on the adheasive. If you have enough of the solution on everything it should kinda float on the surface of the tablet. You can just very easily slide it around until it is center and then start pushing the water out to make it stick. I didn't have one bubble on mine when completed.
The Zagg is now avail at best buy . No issues with the stylus either. Now all i need is a case im comfortable with.
