Hello all,
Would anyone have any recommendations for screen protectors that would work well with the Transformer? Whilst I realize that it may take a while for screen protectors that were specifically designed for the Transformer to be released, I will be doing quite a bit of travelling with the tablet over the next few weeks and would like to have something to protect the screen (I will also buy a case for it)
Many thanks!
You dont need any screen protector. It's got gorilla glass. If you can scratch the gorilla glass with anything other than a diamond ill buy you a new one myself.
Here's one of many videos of it on youtube:

Thanks for the reply stuntdouble: I hear you on the Gorilla Glass, but I want to try to keep the screen prestine for when I try to sell my current unit when the Transformer V2 comes out. Maybe I'm being a bit irrational here but, for the small price of a screen protector, its more of a "why not" sort of thing.
Thanks dude
Well like I said before, the only things that will scratch it will be things like diamonds, and they will easily go through any screen protector you use anyways. All any gorilla glass screen needs to look pristine is a good wipe with a lens cloth every once in a while. So unless you are Kanye West or Lady Gaga with all the bling, you'll be fine.
A case however is a good idea for the rest of the unit's protection.
That's awesome, thanks for the vid.
You won't need a screen protector. It will look prestine forever. If it gets oily/greasy, just use an LCD/Plasma screen wipe on it and it will look good as new.
I am a SysAdmin at my company that has Macs and PCs, I steal the Mac screen wipes for devices and those work awesome lol.
What about one that helps with sunlight. It seems that it will be pretty unusable outdoors otherwise? Correct me if you know different.

That's why I buy screen protectors too, it makes a difference having a matt one.
I think a matte one would help with glare and annoying fingerprints. I've had two gorilla glass phones and I often like a protector for these two purposes, not just for protection.
Any links to matte ones ?, There's only ipad ones on ebay.
This is what I found, I may get one for myself.

How about this? Anti-reflective apparently...
EDIT. Arg, can't post the link yet. However go to Amazon UK, it's called:
"Vikuiti screen protector ADQC27 for Asus Eee Pad Transformer - PREMIUM QUALITY (crystal clear, anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, easy mountable)"
I'm a bit torn as to what to do about a screen protector for my transformer. Unless you get a really good matte one, they often reduce the clarity of the screen and introduce a kind of rainbow grain, and I don't want that as it was bad enough on my iphone.
However, I don't want a protector that doesn't really reduce the reflectiveness of the gorillaglass by much - the matte ones are brilliant for this and are really silky to the touch as well, but you do often have that trade off with image quality. At nearly £30 a pop, it's not the sort of thing you want to experiment with either!
Anyone got a protector they like yet?
I'll have to test this puppy outdoors before I start hunting down a anti-reflective screen protector. Reviewers tend to complain about glare and reflections much more than I do, so it is a wait and see situation. It's a huge trade off, matte faded colors with a cover, or bright, vivid display without? Plus, Corning gorilla glass is so silky smooth to the touch, I hate the feeling of cheap plastic screen covers.
@dandmcd Have you actually got one of these tablets? I have, and I can tell you that outdoors the thing is pretty much unusable and even in bright indoor areas like offices you'll need 100% brightness to be able to look at it without glare.
Also, my gorilla glass isn't what I'd call silky smooth. It's nicer than the iphone, but can still get sticky sometimes depending on how clammy your hands are. With the matt protector I have on my iphone, it's always silky smooth, just like The Zohan likes

I've not got any experience with touch screens (and especially multi-touch ones) used with screen protectors... Is your experience that you have to press harder or touches are detected less accurately when using a protector? If so, I'd likely prefer the glare issues to touch issues, but if not, a protector might well be worthwhile to cut down the glare...
To people saying it's not scratchable....yes, yes it is.

Yeah, and Corning's own PR folks have confirmed it is neither scratch *or* shatter proof in their own marketing videos. In several videos they reference having sand-blasted the glass to simulate normal use, and you can clearly see the scratched, sand-blasted area. In one video the Corning rep even states during the pressure test that "you could break it if you really bear down on it" or words to that effect.
Gorilla glass is neither scratch proof nor break proof -- it's just more strongly resistant to both than regular glass.
@dandmcd - It really does depend on the screen protector, but on the whole most are manufactured thin enough in that they don't affect the touchscreen sensitivity at all. I can only comment from my experience with two versions of the iphone, I haven't got a screen protector for my transformer yet....

You can always get an anti-glare matte screen protector. I yave one on all my devices, my G2, my Xoom, my EVO. That is the first accessory that I buy.
Of course, I'm assuming you're exaggerating about ditching the phone entirely for that one property, lol.

Glare is there on Nexus S (not extremely bad though ) even with Oleophobic coating.
Thats not the advantage of the coating though, and glare is not a big deal if display is bright enough.(read AMOLED) You can always tilt it a bit away from light to get the read from the screen.
Problem is smudges. Those oily messy smudges makes it harder to see even if you tilt it away or in the shadow of your hands in bridght sunlight as light refracts and reflects in all directions thanks to smudges.
With coating and reduced smudges, its easier to see. But it does come at a cost.
The Gorilla glass might be scratch resistant, but if there is this coating on that top of it, it will develop micro scratches as this coating gets scraped off if you nick your screen with something sharp. Plain Gorilla glass would fare better in such cases. So its win some, loose some situation. I doubt there will be any coating on the Gorilla glass. If its there, I would be very surprised as it takes away the advantage of Gorilla Glass.
I can honestly say that the standard for smartphone displays is decent enough that I definitly have a couple of priorities above the display that I wouldn't care how good the display is, if doesn't meet those priorities first, I don't want it. Key being carrier, cpu, ram, battery life, size/weight, brand/UI, then the display itself. Like I said, the standard for smartphones is good enough that it's not as important for me as long as a matte screen protector exists for the device (which is pretty much every smartphone). I have yet to meet a modern device display that I cannot tolerate under all conditions. And maybe its just me but I rarely find myself walking under direct sunlight. And even when I do, I try to avoid it (not because of my phone, just I have no joy in it XD).
Just my 2¢

I agree, I think no matter what, I will be putting a screen protector on it. A company called "ScratchGuard" makes one that resists Oil and Fingerprints, maybe that might be the route, although it does reduce some of the screen's clarity.
Why would you ruin your phone with a screen protector?

Ive allways used a screen protector tbh but im thinking with this device i dont need 1 as its gorilla glass right? i do think screen protectors ruin a phone slightly but its protection, Does this device need a protector or will it be fine without 1?
looking to buy the device on launch day sim-free so would be ideal to buy a protector before if i do need 1,
coming from iphone 4 i allways had to use 1 and it did get annoying and before that the desire hd which i had to use also but that screen isnt made of gorilla glass is it?

I have to. Cant take chances, I took one with Nexus S thanks to Oleophobic coating and kinda regretting it. I use lots of jeans. Many of them have those metal buttons / studs near pocket. I scratched my Nexus S a bit while taking it out of pocket when it scratched against that. Thankfully it was a micro scratch at the bottom and not on viewable area. Not to mention the bloody earrings of my lady friends and family members. My heart skips a beat when unprotected screen nears their ears
I wont take that chance again
But isn't gorilla glass supposed to be super tough?
So we will need a screen protector?
Uhm, and how can a screen protector ruin a phone?
Even if the phone features a gorilla glass, it doesn't guarantee it from being scratch-proof.

A screen protector will totally negate the oleophobic coating so i would not advise that, also the chemicals used to stick a screen protector on it might create holes in the oleophobic coating which will mean you will need a screen protector for life (we saw this many times in the nexus s section)
My advice is,
1. DO NOT use any screen protector at all!
2. buy a protective sock to put your phone into
3. ALWAYS leave it in a pocket that has nothing else but the phone in, inside its protective sock
4. NEVER clean the phone with any sort of polish or chemicals, always just clean it with a dry cloth
If you do these three things you will have a wonderful "as new" phone for the duration of your time with the SGSII )

Samsung Galaxy S II has been designed with Gorilla Glass?No need of Screen Guard?
I have seen 2 sites saying Samsung Galaxy S II has been designed with Gorilla Glass so I want to make sure. http://androidcommunity.com/samsung-galaxy-sii-gorilla-glass-confirmed-20110503/ Lost another site link.is that true?
Of course SGS II has Gorilla Glass. But I am still really confused that it will or will not need a screen protector! I really don't like them but I think it's better to have one rather than scratching that beautiful 4.27" screen. What do you guys think?
Thanks for putting that link up.

OK Thanks and I think it is 100% better getting a screen Protector for safety.It is better to get a Rs.100-500 screen guard instead of spending money on a screen after getting scratch on the screen.I am using 1 already and kept 1 as spare
Scratches WILL occur on gorilla glass, but they are less likely to be seenwhen compared to other screens.
So buy a screen protector.

Hmm..I already ordered the 2nd one from Scratchgard.in, Rs.499, so it's costly, still I've read a lot of users posting that they didn't use any screen protector for more than one year wit GG and also they used it roughly, still no scratches on it. Yes I know Gorilla Glass is scratch resistant but not proof.
I'd like some users to post here who are not using any protective screen and post feedback here, if there is any scratches appearing or not.

There's already a LOT of threads talking about this exact topic. Yes, gorilla glass is tougher than your average glass, but it's not scratch-proof, so I personally don't see the point in taking the risk. Gorilla glass can and will get scratched.
Get a screen protector and never have to worry about scratches, or don't get one and always worry.
Guys i can highly recommend getting this screen protector you really cannot tell that you even have a protecter on your screen,after paying all that money for this phone im not taking any chances.

I have had my nexus one for about a year and it has a Gorilla Glass screen. I don't have a screen protector on and I have dropped it several times on asphalt and other surfaces and I don't have any scratches on my screen. I am waiting for the SGS2 to come out on sprint (hopefully) and I won't be bothering with a screen protector.
Thanks, but late for me, my bad.

good for you but id be more "better to be safe than sorry" and for a few quid for a screen protector like the Ultra Olephobic which you wouldn't even notice it was on i believe it's definitely worth getting.
Does the SGP ultra... have problems with air bubbles or orange skin?
I tried a couple of screen protectors with both nexus s and gs2 and I think I'm more bothered by bubbles and orange skin then scratches
I read in quite a few posts about light scratches, most probably due to the anti-fingerprint coating on the glass. But I wont get a screen protector. In the WM times with resistive screens you had to get one because the screens could get scratches with just your fingernail or the stylus, but they all (even the expensive ones) looked bad. So on my HD2 I didn't bother with a screen protector and don't regret it because after over 1,5 years of intensive use (otherwise it was in my pocket or on the stone floor besides my bed) without any cases or screen protectors, my HD2 doesn't even have one single scratch (and I mean the whole device). I just had to remove the paint of the battery cover because it came off on the edges where I hold it, but I would have done that anyway because it looks better, as you can see in this thread. I hope my SGS2 proves to be as good as my HD2.

No it doesn't, honestly i can barely tell mine is on it really is that good just take time to apply it properly there are videos on XDA which are useful regarding this, i did read reviews beforehand and most were favourable but after applying it i really am impressed with it, scrolling is still as smooth as ever,sure you'll get fingerprints and smudge marks but you'd get that on the screen anyway just wipe it off.

Even though it says that the screen is scratch resistant, I wouldn't take the chance. When I got my SGSII, I went ahead and searched for a pouch and a screen protector. Money well spent!
I have it from 1 month ago, without any protector a no scratches. I transport my SGS2 in my pocket always.
For those of you who say that they aren't worried about their phone scratching because its always in their pocket, I would still recommend you getting one, purely because of the fact that Gorilla Glass is vulnerable to SAND and DUST. Sand particles have a very high hardness rating exceeding that of Gorilla glass, so it will carve up your pretty little phone without a care in the world. Simply wiping the screen cover with a cloth that has a particle of sand on it, can scratch the screen, not to mention the original oleophobic coating Samsung put over the Gorilla Glass, which itself is very vulnerable.
I can also vouch for the SGP Ultra Oleophobic Screen Protector. Hands down the best balance of everything a screen protector should have. I've used some no name brands, the Zagg ones as well as the SGP Ultra Crystal one before, and none can compare.
The SGP Ultra Oleophobic beats the Ultra Crystal hands-down simply because it repels oil much better, and can be cleaned with one wipe of a shirt or cloth. On the other hand, the ultra crystal clings to fingerprints and oil like a fat kid to a candy bar.
Both however, exhibit zero rainbow effects, air bubbles or orange peel effects. For about 30 minutes after putting the oleophobic one on, there is a bit of rubbery/slightly sticky feeling on the protector, but it goes away after some use or a bit of cleaning with a microfibre cloth. I'd also recommend not applying the protector on vertically, from speaker to microphone, but rather, from left to right. It is MUCH easier to align this way, and much easier to retry if you messed up the first time.
I've had many people who've played with my phone ask me why I don't bother putting on a screen protector, and when I tell them to look again, they are genuinely surprised they didn't realize it was there.
TL;DR: get a screen protector, because sand (which is actually harder than gorilla glass) and dust can and WILL scratch your screen eventually. also, SGP Ultra Oleophobic beats everything else hands down.
I think Sammy will send the gorilla glass as OTA update when Android Weedcake 2.5.5 hits the market sometime in the distant future.

well well well talk about fate,there is a scratch on the screen and i only put the ultra olephobic screen protector on yesterday initially i thought it was a hair but it's a very small scratch so im even more pleased now i had this on otherwise id have a scratch, thankfully you get 2 screen protectors so i can just replace this one.
Guys I noticed that after 3 weeks of use the pre applied screen protector has a lot of small tiny scratches.
I'm normally very cautious with the screen no scratches on my previous phones (one gorilla glass and two with screen protectors (those had the same only after a lot of months of use and replaced by a new one)
Is the purpose of the pre applied sheet only to keep the screen in one piece in case of the worst case and the phone drops?
Or is it a screen protector which can be replaced?
What is your experience here
O and for the guys which using the phone without the protector how turns that out in daily use?

I've removed the pre-applied screen protector since day 1. It's actually making my screen's sensitivity very low. I'm using only one sheet of anti-glare screen protector on it, and it had been working well for me.
Just pulled my preinstalled protector off as it was bugging me. Not sure I have done the right thing! The screen now feels a bit sticky even after a good clean. However the capacitive buttons do feel a bit more responsive.
Will report back after a couple of days without it.
Leave it there...
The company decided to place a screen protector (placed it perfectly) coz a lot of people like it's presence for more protection for their devices.
You have the choice to keep it or peel it off as u wish.
IMO; leave it there until it's unbearable for u, then u can remove it and replace it with another high quality one!
And for the responsiveness issue, in my experience with my other devices i've never felt any difference between having it on or not!!!!
I'm not remove the preinstalled screen protector but add in 1 more layer screen protector which is coming out of the box.
After a day without my screen protector, I am pleased I went ahead and removed it. I have now cleaned the screen with glass cleaner and the stickiness has gone. Colours are slightly improved and there is an extra, if subtle, sharpness to the screen.
The main improvement is that the capacitive buttons are much more sensitive than before.
I've just removed mine, the difference to touch response is great
Sorry but for me, I HAVE to wear the preinstalled or any other screen protections. I can NOT go with my phone and when I see a scratch in my screen I know it will be there for ever! With screen protection I always know when I see scratches in my screen(protection) I know its only the protection that got scratched.
So but that's me. Don't care if the screen gets a little bit more responsive, protection is important!

You are asking the right questions! I look forward to the next response from Sony on part number vs your querying about a protector on-top of a protector.
If people are finding touch sensitivity affected with one layer, two layers must be even worse!!
how the heck do you even remove this??!
I've got two on, and pre applied and one that was in the box (put that on before I knew about the pre applied one) touch realy isn't bad, but i swipe the 3 menu buttons as habit now, and works pretty good. I have a year on contract left, and i hate scratches so I'm happy XD

They were supposed to arrive Saturday (USPS 1-day Priority Express shipping), but did not. They are finally moving again, and I suspect will arrive later today.
I will post some photos as soon as I can.
Just received and took a couple of pictures (the dust is on the surface, not under the screen protector).
It's a fairly thick plastic, more rigid than typical plastic screen protectors... very nice quality. Went on extremely easily, and the fit is perfect.
Overall, I'm fairly impressed. Of course, how it will stand up against use I'm not sure yet.
Let me know if you have any other questions or want more photos.

It's a fairly thick plastic, more rigid than typical plastic screen protectors... very nice quality. Went on extremely easily, and the fit is perfect.
Overall, I'm fairly impressed. Of course, how it will stand up against use I'm not sure yet.
Let me know if you have any other questions or want more photos.

Looks very nice. How does it feel compared to the glass screen? Is it as slick? How responsive is it? And lastly have you ever had a tempered glass screen protector?

I have used tempered glass screen protectors before, and it doesn't feel substantially different than them. After having used it a few hours, I can say that it feels very good, and is very slick. However, it does appear that there might be a slight decrease in sensitivity over what I was using before (Spigen Crystal Hard Surface Screen Protector) or a good tempered glass protector. I suspect that's due to the thickness and it being a "shock absorbing" protector.
The Spigen felt good too, but of course, it's not a "shock absorbing" protector and is probably half the thickness.
I'll continue using it for a while. I have an intelliArmor intelliGlass protector I ordered that should be here soon. Of course, it won't have as much coverage, but I will try it out as well if the Power Support sensitivity bothers me.

Some additional feedback on this screen protector. I've definitely noticed that when swiping on the screen (especially when using Swiftkey Flow to enter words), that the phone is losing track of my finger mid-swipe. I've never seen this problem before with other screen protectors, so it's a little concerning. I've sent a support request to Power Support to see if they have any thoughts or recommendations on this issue. I'll let you know what I hear back. Until I get some resolution on this, I can't say I recommend this screen protector because of this particular reason.
Edit: since I have a second Power Support protector, I went ahead and installed the intelliArmor. Here are images:

Here's the response I received from Power Support:
We apologize that you're experiencing this issue. Our films undergo extensive testing on our end and through Motorola to ensure that they will not reduce the sensitivity of the touch screen. We rarely receive this complaint, but on occasion we have heard this with the Shock-absorbing Brilliant Film for Nexus 6. Please let us know your shipping address, full name, and telephone number and we can send you a replacement film.

I'll post again when I install a second protector.
