So I ordered some screen protectors that claim they fit the transformer screen however they are slightly bigger leaving one side unable to stick properly because it protrudes slightly off the screen. I have read several other people say they have had the same problem. Cutting it with an exacto knife doesn't quite leave the edge smooth. Has anybody found one that actually fits the screen properly?
yep, fits perfectly

i brought these and they are great. Went on super easy, no air bubbles. They are the kind that have the two tabs on them. you pull the back off then place on the screen, smooth out the air bubbles etc, then pull the top layer off with the other tab. They are great quality. I am happy with them

And does it fit perfect bezel to bezel? I purchased this one http://cgi.ebay.com/Lots-5-Clear-Sc...&otn=5&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=1556935545867845673 and extremely disappointed. Has the same 2 tabs, dimensions specified say same as yours however one edge is slightly too long. I have several devices that I have applied protectors to problem free so i know its not me. Just want to make sure it fits perfectly. Any chance you can upload pics? was looking at the clarivue. Thanks.

The Clarivue leaves a gap around all sides.
I appreciate the feedback. Anybody else with screen protector input or info?

Yes, seems they come from this wowparts. Does yours fit or is it slightly too large?
i did get your message. yes mine had the iPad pictured on the front of the package too, but the screen protectors honestly fit perfectly. Went on first try with no issues. Maybe you got a bad batch? I would definitely buy from them again

It's very odd. I purchased the 5 pack and tried 4 because I'm OCD and everyone too large. Cut outs for the camera line up perfectly but one side and one edge on the bottom are too long. I wonder if maybe the screen has changed slightly on the tablet... I read early versions had issues and maybe they changed something. I just purchased mine and has a serial number that begins with b6 which I read was from the later batches. Looks like I may have to spend extra on that clarivue that is cut slightly short. Too chicken to let the screen ride naked.

How about the one from bestskinsever?
I'm looking for a screen protector for my TF and checked at bestskinsever.com. I bought iPhone 3GS screen protector when it was on sale. As a satisfied customer I went back to the site and was glad that they are making protectors for TF.
Has anyone tried it so far? What is your feedback? Was it a perfect fit? Did it serve the purpose?
iPhone protector I bought had a few bubbles on Day 1 but disappeared the next day.
I'm unable to post the link...look under tablet section on their website.

I haven't seen any info on this case here on XDA yet, so i figured i'd put a quick review out there.
http://www.meritline.com/htc-evo-3d-new-aluminum-metal-hard-case-cover-silver---p-72656.aspx
They have a couple of different colors, black, silver (plain), blue, and pink.
http://www.meritline.com/newsearch.aspx?SearchTerm=evo+3d+aluminum
I found this case while browsing around on Meritline. I've bought a bunch of stuff from them in the past and everything has always been good quality so i figured i'd try this case. For 4 bucks i figured i couldn't go wrong, and in reality i couldn't be happier! The pictures on the meritline site can be deceiving. The main image of the case shows the "inside" on the left, and the "outside" on the right. The outside of the case is what the back of the phone looks like. There is a machined circle pattern on the backside. The inside of the case shows that it is aluminum all the way through, not just a thin plating on the plastic.
The case is a single piece "snap on" style case. The fit is great, really tight and clean. No issues I have seen over the past week or so of use. I purchased the silver colored on. The back of the case is aluminum, the plastic that clips around the phone looks to be molded to it. The case does not add much to the phones overall dimensions, but does add some weight (which i like). My brother picked up a SGSII and it feels like a cheap plastic phone. The 3VO is heavy, and this makes it feel like a brick **** house without making it feel too large (my biggest pet peeve of most cases).
I opted for the Expedited Ground shipping which was 1.99. Standard shipping is free.
Check it out!
Actually - that case was discussed in the larger evo 3D case thread. It looks great, and people liked the fit - but the concern was that the aluminum consistently reduced phone reception and data transfer speeds.

That would be my only complaint. The case is tough to remove.
i found that if you follow my little trick its easy to remove
1.get a credit or store card
2 with the phone on its back screen upwards slide the card between the case and the phones left hand side
3 with the card stuck in there hold the corners of the case amd the topmost black parts of the phone
4 pull!
5 case should move easily and seperate with card falling on floor
easy! no more scraped corners
also when putting it on put the side with the buttons in forst then just gently push the other side into place

I ordered a Smoke one on Sunday and it arrived today. It is my first case ever for a phone so I can't comment too much. It seems to fit the well and has a pleasant touch feeling. It is a little more glossy than I expected. There is a slight lip around the front that should protect the screen a little from drops. All of the buttons, ports, microphones, and speaker have cutouts as described so it doesn't impede with the phone usage.

Does it look like the attached? The images on the site are different from the Sprint and AT&T versions, though when I called Cruzerlite, they said that the cases for AT&T are the translucent material as well. Image is of the Sprint version. I'll buy one anyway, as I am in meetings a lot and would like visibility of the notification light - hoping that I might actually catch the 1 in 30 second light bleep. Thx!

Yes basically. The hole around the camera and flash is smaller on the actual case, fitting it properly. The other big difference is that the rubber of the android guy is less translucent than the picture shows. You can't see the reflective finish through the android. You can however, see the AT&T logo through it.. You can see the finish through the non-android rubber. The cutouts for the buttons and ports are larger on the actual case. The buttons are recessed behind the case, not sticking out like in the picture. They still are easy to press but it will prevent accidental pushes in your pocket. Also its hard to see in that photo, but the left and right sides are ribbed and colored like the android.
I think that picture is a photoshop.

I appreciate the feedback and detail, Patsfan (go Pats - lived up there '76-'80)! The Diztronic case I have is great, though thought I'd pick up one of these to try out and have for a backup. The images for the AT&T version all look to be solid colors without any translucency. The person on the phone said they were, but she wasn't convincing.
Yes go Pats! I will try to take a picture but the only other camera I have is a nexus one. I also have a Diztronic case on order from Amazon.. Just waiting for it to ship.

got my Diztronic saturday, its one of the nicest cases I've ever had, for any phone including my old iPhones.
I got the clear cruzerlite to try, after having gone caseless for a while and also trying one of the inexpensive HR wireless hard cases for a few weeks. I like it.
I want to add as little bulk as possible so I like the size of the cruzerlite. Especially compared to the HR wireless's huge lip around the front. I don't use a screen protector but the front lip wraps around so little that I don't think it would interfere with one. The texture of the android guy and the sides is nice.
I originally wrote that the fit wasn't great. It seemed to be offset to one side. I have since pulled the case of and put it back on starting with the other side, and it is nearly perfect now. The only real downside about the appearance, to me, is the way the material sticks to the glass back in spots (like a static window cling). But that's really minimal.
They're buy 2 get 1 free at Amazon but I only got the one (and bought some other stuff with it so shipping was free).
Bought the Black and Green one off of Amazon with Prime Shipping. That and my phone arrive Thursday.

sucking price!
I bought this after using the Diztronic for a month. Made the phone feel more like the svelte hardware it should be, rather than a block. Protection does not deem to have suffered either.
I was very disappointed to see the matte finish wear off after only a few weeks on my HTC one x. With this one I'm thinking that the back may be a scratch magnet. Anyone have significant scratching on the back yet?
in pouch all the time, no chance to scratch it
Carry mine naked (the phone not me) and not a single mark on it yet. It may be to soon to tell but so far so good..
I panicked when I realized that my keys were in the same pocket as my phone. But not a scratch yet.

No scratches on the body, but like the guy before me I accidently dropped my phone into my pocket with keys, I got a couple small little nicks on the bezel but you can only see them on an angle. I'm going to see if I can polish them out. I googled it and saw that a normal kitchen sponge with the one rough side gets them out, Also heard toothpaste and just ordered some aluminum polish.
Other people only noticed when I show them, and my GF said I have severe OCD because the nicks are so tiny. She is right. It's not really noticeable to anyone but me, but it's driving me insane!

hopefully this will mean it's rather resilient
I'm going to go see if I can find some information about the durability of the black one over on the international forum.
Not looking so good for the black one so far, it seems they chip really easily near the top above the camera. So sad, because its so nice looking.
I think I've seen finish problems on every single One variant thats been released from HTC...

Was that the silver or black one?
If the thing is going to looked chipped to hell in a month from normal use, I'll just return it now. My s3 started to chip the silver rim and I got rid of it immedaitely. I can't stand something that looks like crap for no reason whatsoever, actual damage is one thing but come on....
The iPhone 4 was a tank and was beautiful. Is this so much to ask from an android phone?

If it's a dummy version, it's clearly made with less resilient materials. The dummy model at my local Walmart looks terrible while the real phone at my local AT&T store is flawless.

This isn't one of those times. The buttons on the dummy phone are not usable, it's ridiculously light, and the feel is somewhat different. The real phone was sturdier and had functional buttons, of course. They were both set out on the same day in each store and the dummy looks terrible now while the real phone looks perfect. It's a pretty decent indicator of the dummy phone being made with cheaper materials.

I just don't believe that HTC would have spent the time to assemble a phone that isn't going to be functional since it apparently takes a lot of time to assemble the aluminum body for the HTC One.

No scratches on the aluminium surface but the beats audio red logo and writing have almost disappeared. White 'audio' writing still there.
I dropped my One on hardwood and it rolled over onto a brick ramp (I was at the entrance to a restaurant) and skidded down it on its back. There are some deep scratches on the back and scuffs, but it's okay. Definitely want to put a case on it if you plan on using it out on the street

The matte finish wears off much more easily because the material was plastic. Microscopically, a matte finish is just an unpolished, jagged surface. Since it's plastic, it's not hard enough to be able to withstand the forces exerted on it when rubbed by your pocket/hand/table long enough so it gets polished over time (check out a computer mouse that's been used for a long time). This is completely different than scratching or chipping, which is a complete removal or deformation of the material. The nice thing about plastic is that because it's soft, it's much easier for hairline scratches to "heal" over time as the surface gets rubbed on.
The aluminum back will definitely maintain the matte finish better than plastic because it is a harder material. Drawback is that since it's harder, it's also more brittle so it's more subject to chips/nicks and hairline scratches will stick around forever.
TL : DR Material properties are a *****. The matte finish (it's actually a bead blasted finish) will stick around for awhile as long as your hands/table/pockets aren't made of sandpaper or things harder than aluminum.

Pretty happy with this! With a good screen protector/skin i think i should be fine for the rare times it is dropped.
Happy? They're both awful ...
Just backs up my reasoning for a good hard case and glass screen protector. We'll have to see if otterbox makes one for this.
That video *ONLY* proves two things.
1) The chances that your phone will be damaged, and the amount of said damage, are equally proportionate to the height your phone falls from.
2) Gravity does indeed work.

I agree, but it's time to get on the jumbo train me thinks. All the top spec'd devices are biggies. I love the size of my iPhone 6, and before that I had the similarly sized GS3. I ordered a 6P to give it a try. It may very well be a failed experiment in the end, but at least I'll know first hand what I can tolerate in terms of size.

because this phone cost literally 50% of what I pay in rent so yes tempered screen protector and case are already on their way.
I'm actually impressed here. The only thing that scratches Glass is something harder. Metal isn't doing it in general without significant force. It's softer. Silica, sand and dirt, is death. That's why you always keep your pockets clean. Dropping it on asphalt or concrete is the worst situation as even if you don't crack it the chance of silica grinding into the glass to scratch or chip it is great. The added force factor and cracking or outright shattering is increased in chance.
These phones held up pretty well being dropped on asphalt. I pancaked my N5 onto a sidewalk screen down at about waist height (I'm 6'2") and it shattered. I had gotten lucky in the past and it landed on sides or back with little consequence.

It's amazing what these devices can, and can't, take.
Had my n5 run over by a tractor at the golf course. Just 1 front wheel, but was face down in the short grass. All ok, but I did notice the flash points down a bit further than it used to.
Also left it on the back of a golf cart. And of course it stayed on for about 370 yards only to fall off face down right at the beginning of the crushed granite cart path. That left a nice deep 1/4 inch gash in the screen, but fortunately was off the viewable area.
Had a few other drops on hardwood floors, but it's still holding up pretty well for 2+ years old - no case or screen protector.
Is the drop test a Trick or Treat? Happy Halloween!

Yeah.. Mine is just now starting to look a little worn for various reasons. The panel is nice again since brand new. But previous to that sidewalk screen flop it still looked mint. It's pretty much all down to keeping dirt out of your pockets and not wiping dirt off since that can also grind it in. Always blow it off carefully.
