Got one from the only thread I could find on screen protectors here on XDA. It was really bad. It did not fit perfectly no matter how many times I tried to do it. No matter how you place it one side will be a little too long (just a tad) so you have to actually manually cut the screen protector making it less attractive and not giving it as rounded edges as one out of a box.
Has anyone gotten a good screen protector for their Transformer yet?
I get all my screen protectors and skinz from Phantom Skinz. The one for the TF is very good and fits just right. Once you place it on there and the bubbles have dissipated there is still a clear protective cap sheet that you pull off. Once you do that you can't even tell that it's there. The glass of the TF is a major fingerprint magnet and with this skin they wipe right off. Also there isn't any orange peel effect with the Phantom Skinz. You also might consider the Chromatics to give it a sleek look to it. I bought the carbon fiber white and it looks siiik.
I have an SGP and it is awesome.
get XOskins. wait a few days to getthe bubbles out.
try clearprotector.com
40% off with coupon code: military
its a water based application but IMO, better than phantomskins,zaggs, invisible shield
its ALOT thinner @ 2mm, just becareful applying, do not stretch the rubber, and slowly Squeeze all the soapy water out with a light rag. i had mine placed really well, except i got a little piece of hair stuck under the screen. Oh well, it can never ever be perfect
This is the one I ordered: http://amzn.to/ormCyH
The one thing I hated about the TF101 is how badly it attracts smudges and how much glare it has. ^ That thing did the trick, plus it makes it easier to glide my finger somehow.

I bought an SGP Ultra Fine (matte) and the cut is as great as it is on the other devices i've bought it for (evo and epic)
Might be a little bit on the pricey side compared to some of the other offerings but i much prefer hard dry apply screen protectors over the soft wet apply ones, or even soft dry apply ones
I read on the forums sometimes ago that there was some sort of chemical/cleaner that you could apply on the transformer's screen and it would greatly reduce fingerprints (but the screen would still be glossy). Anyone recall what I'm talking about?
[Edit]
Found the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121184
It's called RainX
I use the official one from Asus and it's excellent but a bit pricy!

I have been using the Clear Freak screen protector and I am very happy with it. It is the anti reflective cover.
Here are some shots of the SGP Ultra Fine (matte) installed on my TF. The fitment is just about perfect with a tiny gap on the right side as i've installed it, could have made it even less noticeable by moving it towards the right a bit more, as it is right now its sitting right up against the left edge.
I tried the skinomi protector but as i am a flicker the grippy surface for a lot of the soft type screen protectors left a lot of streaks from my fingers in addition to making it hard to flick. The texture on this is extremely fine making the surface very smooth. The last shot was my best attempt at illustrating the slight loss of clarity you get with this and any kind of matte screen protector. It is noticeable but over time i got used to it.

Where did you get it installed at?
Hi, I've had good success with the great shield anti-glare screen protector. For $13 (with shipping) you get 3 of them.
The matte finish is very fine, and it doesn't distort your colours as much as others that I've used. I had an official Nook Color for my Nook Color (when I had it), and the quality was comparable.
The only issue is that the measurements for the height of this protector are precisely the same as the screen, which makes it impossible to align correctly. If it's not aligned correctly, you'll get bubbles on the edges, or some lift off. I have only one spot, which is where the camera is, however, I have a RooCase that covers it up, so I can't see it flaw.
Other than that, it's a great price and it's very good.

I got my TF from somebody used and they had put a Zagg on it. The receipt was still in the box - $30. And he totally screwed it up. Several bubbles (a couple of large ones) and terrible orange peel. I really can't stand the Zagg protectors. Not only do you risk water damage (very small risk if you have common sense, I know - but not all Best Buy installers really have that much care for your device) but they are fairly "sticky" because of the rubbery finish on them. I got a cheap protector for my Evo on Ebay over a year ago and it's still perfect, that's what I'll be shopping for now for my TF.
IMHO, the only use of a protector on Gorilla Glass is for smudge/fingerprint resistance. The high-end protector market is raking in a lot of unnecessary money. Totally just my opinion, of course.
I just received and installed my SGP UltraFine anti-glare protetor on my Transformer... Very nice. Mild pixelation effection on white screens, but the glare and fingerprints are reduced greatly. Even when the screen does get some marks on it, wiping with a dry cloth cleans it up very easily.
Plus, it allows your finger to slide across the screen better than the naked glass does. Big improvement!
FYI - I originally bought (3) $5.99 anti-glare protectors on Ebay and they were actually too big - the edges wouldn't stick properly. It was a total waste of time and money. The SGP went on perfectly the first time. It was easy to work out any bubbles.... Great product. Granted, not cheap at $25 each, but well worth it in saved frustration with the cheap ones!

Interesting, I actually think it improves overall picture quaity (with the reduced glare). The only time I notice it is when I'm on a screen with a white background -- even then, it's not too bad and you get used to it pretty quick.

I have a question for all of you who are using shields for our device, from your experience which one is the best?
I mean the most scratch resistant but whitout affecting the sensibility of the touch screen.
I have these 3 models in mind:
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-touch-pro-2-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php - Zagg's invisible shield which is the most expensive
http://www.bodyguardz.com/content/accessories/26---2249.htm - Bodyguardz which is the same price as Zagg's but offers 2 sets
http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/att-ti...nvisible-shields-screen-protectors-skins.html - the cheapest one
May help
I am sorry but I personally have no experience with Bodyguardz what-so-ever. I have used an invisible shield on an iPhone, but it was a very short time. However, I have a GadgetShieldz installed on my Tilt 2 and had one on two of my Fuze's. I think for the price the GadgetShieldz has been a great investment, but do be warned with any of these the screen (I imagine the other two are like this) will have a "drag". With the stock screen protect your finger fluidly slides around. With the GadgetShieldz I do tend to apply more pressure because my skin drags with the surface of the shield, but my screen is still very responsive and works just as it did without. I use the Swype keyboard for my input method and once I adjust to the shield it was like normal. Using the stylus is a bit harder because you cannot simply drag it, but if you learn the right amount of pressure needed this is not an issue.
The back is still kind of slick but better than stock, and I feel less worried now setting my phone down not so scared that it will scratch up that shiny back, ya know!
At 6.99 I recommend the product! There was a 15% off code on my thread also.
Edit: Please check this thread there is a 15% and 20% code posted! Enjoy!
I know about the discount, I posted the 20% one
But the main problem is that is only made for carriers branded phones and not for the unbranded european T7373 which I have
Zagg had 50% off EVERYTHING about a week ago, but I decided I don't need the shield since it's just FRONT & BACK.
So what more did you wanted if full body coverage is not enough? If you check the photo you'll see that on the back shield it has also side protection, at least that's what I understand http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-touch-pro-2-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
I saw that promotion on Zagg but from what I read the invisible shield somehow makes the tocuh screen harder to use, it tends to be more rubberish
I have not tried Bodyguardz either but I've tried Invisiblesheild on many of my phones and currently have the Gadgetshieldz on my Tilt 2. At the moment I have the Invisiblesheild on my Fuze. I was just holding both phones and trying to feel the difference between the two. To be quite honest the only difference I've noticed is the the Invisiblesheild is a little more "grippy" than the Gadgetshieldz. Other than that there is not much of a difference.
The Gadgetsheildz was less than $6 (with shipping) while the Invisiblesheild was almost $30. I would go with a couple of Gadgetshieldz.

By grippy you refer to the back side?
And could you please post some pictures of the GadgetShieldz installed?

No, as a whole the Invisiblesheild is more grippy. Front, back, sides, all.
Here are some pics of my Tilt2 with the Gagdetsheildz and my Fuze with Invisiblesheild.

Don't get the Invisiblesheild!
I also purchased the Invisiblesheild for the Tilt2 as well, which came in yesterday. I noticed that the Invisiblesheild DOES NOT provide protection for the front sides. The Gadgetsheildz does. This is pathetic. It costs almost 5 times as much and it doesn't cover some of the most easily damaged areas? Eff that!
Seriously, do yourself a favor and go with the gadgetsheldz, I'm going to complain to Invisiblesheilds.
Best of both worlds
I have found the option that is working best for me
I am using phantom skinz for full body and reuseable screen protector for the screen.
I was planning to put phantom skinz on the screen as well, but once i applied it on the back cover i didn't want to have the draggy feeling on the screen so i went with stock screen protector. I also got reusable PET screen protectors like the Boxwave ones for smooth screen feel.
The other think that i was worried about phantom skinz(and invisible shields, bodyguradz etc) is removing it from the delicate resistive tp2 screen.
So for me phantom skin for body + PET screen protector for screen works out to be perfect.
Hope this helps
Thanks deeken for the pictures, it looks really nice with the GadgetShieldz, I'm definetly going to buy 2 of these in case I don't get it wright from the first attempt, but that would still be chaper than anything else, also using the 20% coupon.
The only problem is they release a shield for the standard model which I have
I declare myself satisfied and convinced with GadgetShieldz.
Zagg
Been using zag product from every new device i buy. 3 Reason why
1)life time warranty
2)The case can take a beating and never show that it been threw a lot. had my zagg shield on since i bought my device back in October and people alway say to me
"you should get a case for this phone before it get scratches up did you just get it?"(They cant notice the protective plastic).
3)It's worth the money, buying cheap plastic protective for your phone over and over again going to add up to the price of 1 zagg case.
I see alot of people saying that the zagg do not cover your entire phone. All i have to say is what are you talking about??

It does provide protection for the front side. My whole T-mobile touch pro 2 cover with the shield. I guess u can't see the cut out that they made when u receive it or you probably just purchase the back protection not the the full protection.

There is NO SIDE PROTECTION for the AT&T Tilt 2. I have this thing in my hand and I can tell you for a fact that they skimped out for the Tilt 2. The cutout is only 3 pieces. One for the front and 2 for the back. Nothing for the sides. I called them on Thursday and complained about this. They customer service rep said he will send an email to the developers to see why they neglected to provide coverage for the sides.
As I stated in my earlier posts I have been using Invisiblesheilds for several of my devices. They are expensive and not worth the money in my opinion. As far as lifetime warranty, you could get 3 gadgetsheildz (which is almost 1/2 the price of one Invisiblesheild) which should last you the life of the phone.
there is no side protection for the verizon touch pro2 either. zagg stated that some people complained about issues removing it when it covered the sides or something like that? so they cut off the surround protection on a lot of the american versions (if not all of them)
i got the bestskinsever.com shield for my sprint touch pro 2 and here are my comments:
- the back cover shield is very nicely done. it covers it edge to edge and has cutouts for all mic holes and the big section of speaker holes in the middle.
- the front pieces are much more problematic and i'm not sure what they were thinking.
the front comes in four pieces plus the screen. I didn't use the screen part so can't comment on that.
the top piece (above the screen) look like it is cut to cover the front surface of the top frame since it is shaped to fit exactly around the curve of the screen. however, it is just a bit longer than necessary so they hang like 1mm over the edge if you put it right up against the edge of the screen. this overhang is too little to stay in place if you bend it down onto the side. i ended up trying a few different positions and ended up shifting it down further onto the side, just above the power button (there is no cutout for the button), but this leaves a gap between the screen and the shield on the front and most of the top is left uncovered except for the sliver between the button and the edge.
the bottom piece has similar problems. you can tell that they only want you to have a slight 2mm overhang over the edge because there is a cutout for the mic right there which would not reach the mic if you placed it flush with the screen. again, there is an exposed gap between the screen and shield and also of the bottom side of the phone.
there are two long, narrow rectangular pieces for the sides. again, they are not wide enough to fully cover the side frame area. if put flush to the screen, they leave a lot of side exposed. i ended up putting it somewhat in the middle. i also had problems positioning them to fit properly between the top and bottom pieces because they are too narrow to stay down when using water. i had to do them over and over and ended up trimming the ends a bit with scissors, but still ended up with some gaps between the top and bottom.
there is really no protection on the corners of the phone on the front side, which is really the most critical for protecting against drops. the tiny bit of overhang on the front pieces are too small to stay down when using the soap and water application method so i had to peel them and start over several times using no water, so they are already not sticking well and are coming off in the corners. the multiple pieces that are hard to position exactly flush with each other and the fact that they do not fit to the edges of the front seams add many more "edges" where there should be none and this really ruins the smooth tactile feel of the phone.
so, i like the back but the design of the front pieces is bad. I'll be providing feedback to them and hopefully they can revise their design.
I haven't tried the others, but am fairly happy with the BodyGuardz. The fit on the Tilt2 is excellent. I recently removed the BodyGuardz screen protector and put on a non-glare screen protector from BoxWave. I didn't find the "rubbery" feel of the BodyGuardz was a problem at all for using the touch screen, I just wanted a less glossy screen.
After two months, the side pieces (that cover the chrome bezel on my Tilt2) are starting to come loose at the corners, and I trim them a little bit as they do so. It's probably due to carrying the phone in my pocket most of the time. I'd like to get a Seidio spring clip holster, but it looks like the one they're currently selling is for the CDMA Rhodiums.
I still have the second set of BodyGuardz protectors, I'll probably wait until I find a good holster and then put them on.
ordered my Zagg Full body 2 days ago, was 35% Off
So tomorrow i'm getting my Lumia, and i was wondering if it was possible to apply a genric screen protector on it while i wait for the specific one i ordered. Do they actually stick on this particular curved glass screen? What should i use for the moment? I don't wanna end with this bad boy scratched in just a couple days...
Even since my Blackberry days, I have always used screen protectors. This phone represents a big departure for me from that..
I have a belt carrying case or I'll carry the phone in a sort or jacket pocket after making sure nothing else is there.
Carrying in pants pocket is out of the question..
To me the glass and the coating are part of the design of the phone and in this case the shape and texture of the naked screen is what really makes this phone stand head and shoulders above iPhone, Samsung Galaxy or any other higher end peers.
In my opinion, adding any protector in addition to
the silicone case Nokia provides would really take that advantage away and dumb the phone down..
Yeah i feel that too, but you know i'm an offroad rider and the place i live also has some quite sandy ground...i've always managed to scratch every surface i was carrying with me, even the sapphire cristal of my good old Sector watch, so i'll be always too scared to carry a phone naked, especially if it's so damn beautiful...i'm a dangerous man i guess
I bought a Nillkin screen protector and even though it works really well, the cutting is only till the border of the actual screen. It does not go till the edge where the polycarbonate body begins.
So conclusion is that it sucks. I will be interested in any other screen protector anybody has tried which can reach till all the four edges of the screen.

Use those flexible protectors like Invisishield/BestSkinsEver etc. You can stretch it while applying.
Is a screen protector needed? This phone is fitted with gorrilla glass...
i have to admit my screen gets immensely greasy - i don't think it has any kind of anti smudge coating on it. at least mine didn't - i haven't seen anybody else's one.
Every screen irrespective of it being a Gorilla or Chimpanzee needs a protector. If you have sensitive eyes you can make out minute microscopic scratches that form in an arranged fashion after 2months of use. I hate it.
I am still looking to see if there is any protector out there that can fit edge to edge. Shucks with all the technology out there people cant make a thin plastic sheet that fits a curved screen ??
Skinomi's protections cover the whole screen. I purchased one, and quite happy about it. Fits perfectly egde to edge. It's not a rigid plastic protection like the cheap chinese ones, it is flexible and bends naturally on the curve.
You can find it on Skinomi's website, thought I think it is cheaper on amazon (like $6 or $7).
Don't worry about the picture you may find (which is one of an N9 screen protection) there is only one hole for the sensor on the actual protection.
Happy to answser any questions...

Hey thanks for that tip. Is it possible even with the any camera you have to take a small pic of your phone with that protector and post it here. That will be the decisive pic for this topic.
Best shot I could get. It is almost invisible anyway.

About the installation, the protection comes with a spray. It feels a little weird to spray your phone with this solution but I found the application actually easier than with the usual "dry" protections.
Note that it will probably be scary ugly after the installation (microbubbles, haze...) but it gets better after a few hours (12 to 20 in my case) and perfect after a few days.
Honestly i wouldn't go generic, you get what you payed for. Trust me i've learned the hard way haha

Fantastic. It is truly invisible and sits neatly edge to edge. I could only make it out from the hole given for the sensor. Good job and thanks a lot. I am ordering one now from eBay.

Thanks Buddy for the screenshot, just ordered one from the U.S., the UK seems to have some cacky ones, currently I am using this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360428462851
Not a full screen protector either and I paid more...-_-
I don't like screen protectors. Never use them.
Besides this phone has gorilla glass. I have not even managed to scratch my other previous phones without gorilla glass after months of use. I rather take the risk of getting a little scratch rather than take away the nice touch feel of the screen.

Then you must not have exposed it to sand. I have managed to scratch almost all the screens I have had on cell phones without a screen protector even if they were made out of gorilla glass. Sand is the enemy to every screen. Metal, like keys or knives, are softer that the glass but sand (or some particles of sand) are not.
I just bought some cheap chinese screen protector (dry application) and it looked horrible. Had it on for 5 minutes and then ripped it off. Have to find a good soft wet application protector now, hopefully before I manage to scratch that thing of beauty.
I've heard good reviews of the Skinomi ones, so I may go for one of those. Does anybody know if the full body (transparent) version has something to cover the super-scratch-prone chrome around the camera? If you know about any screen protector with that feature please let me know, otherwise I'll order the screen only version and use some (custom?) workaround for the chrome thing...
Thinking about getting this:

I did order a couple for my Omnia a few weeks ago, but unluckily they came faulty, with pretty irregular cut borders and a nasty white drop of some kind of glue in the middle. They were totally unusable. I wanted to send them back for a replacement, but a couple days later I've lost my Omnia at a concert...oh well
Like the title says. How well does it work with a stylus? How does it feel vs just the glass? I have my prime in the MiniSuit case, is it worth putting on the screen?
I have a Skinomi skin cover and I honestly think the best part may be how much better the Prime looks. It gives it this glossy "wet" look that you see on new cars that have just been freshly waxed and polished. That aside, I would still recommend it if you're looking to use the Prime outside of a cover. I've found that the metallic spun back can scratch rather easily so the screen cover helps protect against that, and it has a nice, semi-grippy feel when you hold it.
Techskin (Wet application) is great for the back. Again, a must if you use the tablet outside of a "proper" case, to prevent the metal from getting scratched.
The front.....definitely reduces clarity some. You may get some micro-bubbles or other artifacts while installing, but the warranty will allow you to get a replacement if you screw it up (I did the first time, ended up with a couple blotches of micro-bubbles).
The protector definitely provides some more resistance while sliding the finger, not quite as smooth as without.
I plan to use it for a while, but maybe 6-12 months down the road i'll remove it when it gets a little worn and go "au natural". A back cover and a neoprene sleeve for transport is all i need.
http://www.amazon.com/Neo-Cushion-Protective-Transformer-Android-Tablets/dp/B006C64C6E
Really nice sleeve, it could use a bit of velcro to keep the fold from crinkling up. Nice front pocket for carrying the charger, or wires.
I ordered and installed the Skinomi Techskin. It went on perfectly, no bubbles, lined up precisely...
Only problem was, there were smudge marks and blemishes all over the screen! I waited a week, hoping they'd go away, but they didn't.
I eventually contacted Skinomi, who were very accommodating, and sent out another Techskin right away.
2nd skin didn't go on as easily. I have several bubbles, but what's more irritating is there's a crease/bubble along the edge of the screen, that won't go away! I even saw it while applying the screen shield, lifted that corner back up, re-sprayed the included liquid, and squeegeed it smooth, but it is still there, and very noticeable.
What I like about the Skinomi is the precise cut-out for the dock. However, if it makes my screen look filthy, it isn't working for my needs (I mainly purchased a screen protector because all of the fingerprints that show up on the Prime's screen drive me nuts (yeah, yeah.. I know)
Anyways, I've now ordered the ACaseView screen protector.
Comes in a package of three, but what attracted me to it is that the manufacturer and customers all say how thin it is. Several reviews say that they have no problems using their dock with this screen protector on, that it's thin enough not to interfere.
It's also a dry apply screen protector, not that I care that much about how it's applied, I just don't want to see bubbles or smudges on my nearly brand new Transformer Prime!
If anyone's interested, I'd be happy to report back, after installing the ACaseView shield.
I got the skinomi as well for the prime and dock. I love it. I have used body guardz for two phones and ghost armor for my wifes iPad. Of them all I have found the Skinomi to be the most glass like out of the box. They will be the one I buy going forward for all my future gear.
I prefer the wet apply versus dry. It allows you to place the skin down and easily adjust got proper placement. With the dry apply you have to keep purling back up to adjust, leaving you open for dust and stretching. The bubbles do go away. Sometimes it may take a week, or longer. Hope that helps.

Im about to get the Full Skinomi thingy, for the whole Tablet and the keyboard.

I really dont want my Primes Keyboard looking like that, and even less the back of the tablet!
And yes, that was made by sweat, I wear no watch, or anything on my wrists.
Anyone happen to know if the Skinomi for the screen can cover up light Scratches that are already on the screen?

great choice on the dock and tablet combo, I've had it for a few weeks and its been great (dark wood version)
im not sure about the covering scratches though since one of the main things the companies want to accomplish are having the protectors as invisible as possible as to not hinder the use of your screen so I'm assuming they would still show. I have a protector on my screen but i have no scratches since i wouldn't even take my dock or tab out of the box before my skins arrived lol I'm sort of a freak when it comes to scratching my "toys".

I just ordered it, I hope it makes them at least harder to see hehe.
Weird thing is, my Prime never goes out without the Leather Folio case or if I need the Dock in a Neopren pouch, I just have no freaking idea how the screen got scratched! I guess the Glass used in the Prime is not so hard after all (at least compared to my other devices... 100% naked, no scratchs, more than a year of use and abuse)
Will report back how it feels after I get it... I guess a couple weeks from now
Scumbag Inc. said:
Like the title says. How well does it work with a stylus? How does it feel vs just the glass? I have my prime in the MiniSuit case, is it worth putting on the screen?
Click to expand...

Not it is not worth putting on the screen, IMO. It can negatively impact how how well a stylus works with the Prime depending on the type of stylus since it is a little bit rubbery (but not as bad as Zagg skins).
The Skinomi skins for the back of the Prime and the keyboard dock are awesome though. They can definitely help your device from accumulating scratches and make it a lot easier to remove fingerprints from the back of the Prime.

I use a Skinomi screen protector (wet-apply). Before applying I had accidentally made light scratches to the TF201 screen. It was quite visible given certain lighting. After applying the Skinomi, (and its been about 2 months) I honestly cannot see even the slightest bit of the scratches as if they disappeared. I assume the same thing happens with any screen protector though.

Awesome, that's what I was expecting. There a couple of scratches that can only be seen under the right angle with the right lighting.
Can't wait for the full Skinomi to arrive @[email protected]
I think bestskinsever has a better cutout for the back. And they even carry the dock, and compatible skins now.
I'm using a skinomi compatible screen protector, as that was the only one available at the time, coupled with the back from a bestskinsever.
The bestskinsever skin actually covers the full back, doesnt have a cutout for the Asus logo, and none of the little side pieces, as they are actually a part of the back.
If you look at the renderings on both sites you will see what i mean.
My dark woodgrain skinomi is supposed to arrive today or tomorrow. Can't wait!
Skinomi arrived today...but they sent me the wrong one. Got brushed aluminum instead of dark wood grain .
On the up side, when I e-mailed them they got back to me within minutes to apologize and say they were sending out the correct one.

Yes, they both offer compatible skins, but the BestSkinsEver version has a better back and no side pieces.
When you get the full skin from skinomi you have the screen, the back, and what.. 4 or 5 side pieces.
The BSE has front and back,and the back covers what all those little side pieces cover, plus the asus logo isn't cut out.
I like to use the full back, and a compatible screen protector. Fits in the dock without leaving marks or tearing them up and the full back is protected.

I love my Skinomi Carbon Fiber back cover. It was easy to apply. There are others that don't have the small strips that go around the sides of the tablet but if you take your time and use light heat you can get these pieces on nicely and they look great.
I've yet to put the screen protector that came with my kit on because I'm never satisfied with the results that I've had on other devices. I'm just running it naked.
I'm looking for the best screen protector. Most important is functionality, so the least amount of stylus/touch sensitivity reduction.
I've tried the armorsuit military shield that uses liquid applicator and it causes too much friction and sensitivity reduction.
I'm now looking at the various generic film protectors and the 1 glass protectors linked below
intelliGLASS https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TD9G9R2/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_WSgevb1JDHSXF
Glass protectors offer the best damage protection. I'm curious as to the performance with this shield.
Has anyone tried it?
I have, and the screen protector does not seem to affect stylus or touch functionality in any way

Glass is always incredible, and this one is no exception. Quality and packaging is great. I like the slight curves on the edges of the protector, makes it feel nice to the touch. I showed off my tablet to family to check it out, and until I told them it had a screen protector on, they couldn't tell what I'd added to it LOL.
I ordered the intelliARMOR intelliGLASS HD for mine. It's arrived however still waiting on my tablet to return from Nvidia (FedEx says Tuesday!) so it can try it on lol
Hoping it doesn't interfere with the case.

I've been using it since I bought my Shield and its great! I can upload some pictures of it on my Shield if you want to see how it looks. There is a small cutout for the sensor on the middle upper right but other than that its an edge to edge fit (as much as it can)

If you are referring to the magnetic folio cover then yes that's all I use with a vinyl wrap on the back to prevent scratches. There are no issues at all other than the screen protector getting dirty from the folio but the smudges wipe right off.

My last RMA was in that recall but I had to RMA it for a different reason. Thankfully my new one (I recieved it about a month ago) is working great and doesn't have the defective battery. I usually play games on my Shield TV now but I still enjoy gaming on the tablet.

Coincidentally I RMA'd my Shield Tablet last Monday for a broken LCD beneath the glass. Crack occurred for no particular reason, I had never dropped it. All I recall is the night before it got quite hot. Don't think it's related to the battery issue but I'm convinced the heat of it had something to do with the crack. They accepted and my replacement was sent out yesterday due delivery Tuesday. I'm assuming it'll be a model with the unaffected battery else I'll have to RMA again...!

That's good to hear, mine was an advanced RMA so I had it in 2 days and sent the original back without any issues. My original one was almost non functional after downgrading from the original 3.0 back to 2.2.1 and no matter how many times I flashed the stock image or a different ROM it stuttered and froze. They suspected there might have been hardware damage from the OTA 3.0 somewhere in the CPU/GPU which doesn't make sense and they never gave me an answer on what was wrong. I'm still glad this one is working better, in fact I'm typing this reply on it.
Applied the IntelliGlass by IntelliArmor to my Shield today. Here's my impressions and mini-review.
The protector comes well packaged in a book style packaging. You get everything you'll need inside to make applying the protector a breeze. Includes:
- protector
- dust removal sheet
- alcohol wipe
- lint free cloth
- smudger
Simply cleaned the screen with the wipe, applied the dust removal sheet several times and then began peeling off the backing and lining up the glass protector. My first hit was slightly off, enough to irritate me anyway! So had to gently prise it off and re-seat it. Second hit was perfect. The bubbles smoothed out easily with my thumb pressure.
I've had IntelliArmor products before and as with all glass protection I've owned in the past, they are the ultimate screen protection and offer so much more then plastic ones. The best advantage for me though is that your finger feels like its on the actual screen as plastic protectors can give differing feeling under the finger.
I've been unlucky enough to drop my phone before onto a hard surface and if it were not protected by a glass screen protector, I'm confident the screen would have shattered. Instead the screen was fine below the shattered and chipped glass protector. So I've had first hand experience that glass protectors do the job. I've no reason to believe any different of this product, without me chucking my Shield on the floor - which I won't do for a review!
The glass is not too thick and plays nicely with the Official Nvidia case which is an added bonus as not all glass protectors play well with flip style cases. Fortunately this one does.
My only gripe at the moment is when swipe typing. It currently seems a bit hindered by the glass protector. However, I need more time with it as I'm not 100% convinced it has all to do with the protector.
If you're in the market for a Shield screen protector, then I highly recommend the IntelliGlass. Worth the extra £'s in my humble opinion.

Got a Pixel 4a in yesterday and a couple screen protectors. Here are my thoughts on them, in case this is useful for somebody.
[3 Pack]OMOTON Screen Protector for Google Pixel 4a, Easy-Install/Bubble Free/Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Pixel 4a
jaxidian said:
This screen protector has no cutout for the front-facing camera. They claim it's because a cutout causes the glass to break much more in that area. There is a bit of a notch for the earpiece speaker. It does come with a snap-on mounting guide to help you easily center the TGSP while installing. While it's not "full coverage", it does cover the full usable area of the screen. There is no adhesive, it does the suction/static cling thing that most screen protectors do today. I had some issues with some air bubbles that were always there (not from dust - I assume from imperfectly flat glass) but we'll give it a couple days to see if they go away. The screen protector fits nicely with a Caseology Parallax case with just a smidgen of a gap between the case and screen protector on all sides. The clarity and feel of the screen protector is just fine. I'm going to reserve judgment on whether or not this is a good permanent screen protector, but I definitely recommend this as a "cheap and good enough for now until we discover the great ones".

If somebody gets a different screen protector or has a different opinion, post it here in this thread and PM me and I'll quote you up here in the OP.
Good to hear about the Omoton. I was pretty satisfied with the one on my OnePlus 6T. Got it perfect the first time, no lint or bubbles underneath, and it's still that way a month later. That's what I ordered for the 4a that's on the way.
Bought a "Lightning King" (L[emoji298]K) for a 3a off Amazon for cheap. You get three glass protectors which have camera cut out. I'm very satisfied with this product... And I'm picky.
If they make one for 4a get it

Purchased these off of Amazon and they seem okay until you try to get the edges to seal to the screen. Mine has a small gap I think because the actual screen protector is too big for the screen. So I would avoid.

Have the Omoton protector. Covers the usable screen, could be a bit wider, but it's better than their 3a protector, which distorted the edges of the display. No clarity issues, no installation issues. The cutout at the top of the screen for the speaker is unnecessarily wide. No hole punch. Reddit hasn't noticed a difference in selfie quality with/without a screen protector covering the camera.
My review of the Zagg Invisishield screen protector offered on the Google Play Store. Within 2 days of receiving the phone & applying the protector, I had thought I cracked my screen. Turned out to be the screen protector so Google is refunding me for that 40 bucks. Whew. Don't get tempered glass protectors. I hadn't dropped the phone or anything so the Zagg just decided to splinter and crack on its own.

They do make one and they're excellent. The installation is very easy with the supplied frame. It looks like it will work with pretty much any case.
I purchased the Mr. Shield screen protectors. I have had them for a few phones now and they always honor the lifetime warranty when I ask for replacements.
This one fits well. On the sides it is exactly as wide as the lit portion of the screen. No issue, but a tiny bit wider might have helped those who are not great with I stalls. Top and bottom are a little longer than the lit portion of the screen.
I will say this one does a very very good job fighting oils and fingerprints. I have not had to clean the screen once in 3 days.
Overall great price. They have great customer service and it fits well. If you have trouble installing screen protectors this one might be difficult as the width is exactly the same as the screen.

ESR one sucks. Stupid halo/rainbow effect in the middle. Don't get that one. I have the Unique Me brand one coming as well to try.

Any rainbow effect or adhesion issues on the edges?
Another down vote for Zagg. The corner with the cutout won't fully adhere to the screen.
I ordered ArmorShield. I had it on my last two phones and it was an excellent protector that lasted over two years. I had to order from the company because AMZ didn't have stock yet.

If you install it correctly it looks perfect. When you shift the phone side to side you can see one small line for the edge of pixels.
I am almost OCD about this stuff and it has not even captured my eye once. Just my 2 cents.
I got these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086V7DFPC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_DiisFbB200TCM
Easy install, all good. No issue with Spigen Crystalclear case. Has a cut out for the camera, we will see how it holds up.
Have used Ailun & SuperShieldz, along with a couple of others in the past, this time I decided to give "Lightning King" (LK) a try. Got 3 in the box, along with the alignment frame and plenty of cleaning supplies for installation. Installed the first one yesterday; went on fine, perfectly aligned, crystal clear, no conflict with the Spigen Tough Armor case, and looked to be of high quality, similar to Ailun & SuperShieldz. Totally satisfied.

Yep. First time I've ever bought them with an alignment frame included - worked very well.
I've never used a screen protector before, but now that a canister of cooking spray fell and broke my 3a XL's glass and display, I have an order for a 4a Just wondering, honestly, how well tempered screen protectors actually work. My understanding is that in theory, in my situation for example, instead of the glass/display being broken, a protector would have shattered first, more than likely saving the actual phone screen. Do these protectors help a whole lot, or not all that much in real world use if stuff falls on the phone, or you drop it and are unlucky that it should fall face-down on a hard surface? I do have an order for protectors on the way this time since it seems like it can't hurt.,

Over the years, I have chipped, cracked and, in one case, shattered screen protectors; but never had the phone screen damaged. In the vast majority of those cases, I'm sure there would have been damage to the phone. I also put cases on my phones, for the same reason.

Can you show how the LK protector fits the display? Like the camera cutout and how far past the display does the protector go or does it end with the display? I have a LK protector on my 3a and it's the best fitting protector I've ever had. I have a 4a coming and want to confirm if the LK protectors fit correctly before I order.
Thank you ?

Maybe check out some of the reviews/pictures/videos on Amazon. It looks like there are pictures of what you're asking for I bought the LK based on what I've read here, just waiting for my 4a and case, protectors,, to come in!
