Hi, i am getting my transformer soon (i hope) and i would like to know your opinion on those screen protectors, i seen a lot of skinomi and clear freak thread but i am also wondering about the price, those 2 turn around 20 bucks each and im used to (12$ for 2 realooks protectors (for a phone though)) and i seen a couple of threads of people scratching the skinomi when trying to install it.. so i were wondering:
Is the +/- 20$ price is the price for those screen protector or are they gonna go down? (early adopter fee?)
I am really scared of a wet application method, is there dry screen protector out there?
Does any of you actually know if zagg or realook intend to release screen protectors for the transformer?
And finally, is there another tablet out there with the EXACT dimension for a screen protector (seen a couple for the iconia here and there but none for the transformer....)
Thanks a lot!
Funny you should ask, I just posted this in the other skinomi thread
If you're looking for anti-glare I'd go with ViewGuard. It's a hard plastic and thicker than the wet application options. I have one on my laptop and it dramatically reduces the reflectiveness and it hasn't reduced the touch sensitivity on it at all. It's what I plan on getting for mine when it gets here. Yes, I have a mutli-touch capacitive screen on my laptop.
Ok,does the dimension fit the transformer ?(or a little bigger?)
just get my eeepad, I know the case/sleeve is required, do I really need a screen protector?

Now we have to find the size that will fit th TF, even though the screen is 8.5 X 5.5 the glass is 10X7. The closest size they list is for 12.1 4X3 aspect @ 9.72 X 7.28 which would have to be trimmed. I contacted them about custom sizes.

Yes. A good screen guard not only protects your glass from getting scratched but also reduces glare and even provide better tactile touch. I love how my BSE skins feel. Very smooth and soft and not slippery (not everybody likes it though). Oh, and you can use your hand or sleeves to wipe the screen without fear
BSE offers DIY sizes, 12x14" is about $15 + shipping (buy 3 and shipping is free I think). I've already emailed them to see if they will have Transformer kits soon.

How does your BSE handle the glare and fingerprints? How did you trim it?

I just measured the dimensions of the screen and used a razor to cut the BSE piece. I haven't used it outside yet so not sure about glare, but fingerprints are a-ok, as in they don't show up at all
I got the skinomi silver carbon fiber full protector today
and simply loving the design.
I am not sure how the screen is yet since I am waiting for it to dry
but i'll play with it when it does and see how it is and let you know what I think.
I'll also try to get some pictures up.
just want to interject a quick fact here, you guys know that the TF uses Gorilla glass right? it doesn't need a screen protector (at least for protection anyway) ... anything that can scratch gorilla glass would not be prevented by any screen protector you can get.

Gorilla Glass is only scratch resistant, not scratch proof. It can still scratch.

gorilla glass does scratch. my dell streak has gorilla glass and i've got a small scrath on it. it's just harder to scratch than normal glass.
also screen protectors are good to stop fingerprints and some decrease the friction; so easier swiping across the screen which is good for playing games. btw zagg invisible shields increase friction.

Hey all...does the transformer dock to the keyboard correctly with the skins / screen protectors?
When I put the skinomi skin on my Galaxy Tab I experienced problems docking it to the HDMI stand/dock...
Anyone with input please advise...
Just a heads up for those planning on using the dock keyboard...
Thanks

NO problems with the dock. It's tighter but still slips in.
I don't understand people's argument that Gorilla glass does not require a screen protector... there are numerous reasons to get a screen protector despite scratches. It feels differently, it reduces glare and fingerprints etc. I am happy I got one!
Found one on xoskins.com ......anybody have any experience with their products ?
I've been waiting forever because I love SteinHeil (sgpstore) screen protectors so much and I want something like that, instead of the wet application screen protectors. Help me find one pleease!
I have Skinomi & you can barely tell its on there. Plus, since it is a wet apply, I wasn't punished when I messed up the first time.
I have a clear B&E for sale if anyone is interested. Brand new, never used. PM me.
I just found a screen protector from lexard (think I spelled that wrong). Does anybody have experience with this company or know if this protector is any good?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
I'm really starting to hate the texture of the Skinomi screen protector. It's slightly tacky and makes tracing kind of annoying. It's also not very durable on it's own and while acting as a buffer, it's prone to it's own nicks far more than thinker matte protectors I've used.

Has anyone found any screen protectors, film, PET, glass, etc. that cover the entire screen correctly? I've already ordered a film one that was all misaligned and didn't cover it well.
I hear that Zagg is coming out with one that's pretty awesome. It supposedly wrap around entirely, front to back.
I must be lucky because I never use a screen protector and have never experienced a broken screen, just use a Otterbox commuter.
I'm also looking for one of the self-healing screen protectors that fits... the ones on Amazon have reviews that say it's cut wrong

Don't seem to be sticking at the edges of the protector
I picked up an amFilm glass screen protector -- it's supposed to be full screen coverage.
I think I'll wait on ordering a glass screen protector until someone actually gets one installed and thinks it looks right. I'm wanting an edge to edge one. Even the Amfilm does not mention it's curved or not. Edge to Edge and curved to go to the edges are two different things.
I am going to buy the glass one here. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Galaxy-S...hash=item1a0f20ea52:m:mvH5yB-EhsNPPk95uO127rg

It says "Not Tempered Glass" if you read closely.
Just put on my skinomi matte. Perfect edge to edge fit. Not digging the rainbow effect though.

And then order a full coverage tempered glass later
I've found the IQ Shield wet apply to be a decent alternative to tempered glass. Not quite as smooth and clear, but excellent fit and protection.

Second the Skinomi Matte, fits nicely. The Edge display looks a bit different under it, like the skin itself is lighting up not like it's a layer on top of the display. Previously used a tempered glass on my GS5 so this is a big difference. Touch feel of the skin is good. Had to remember how to put on a protector cleanly though, took a couple tries to get it done (but I had budgeted one 'practice' protector to burn).
Haven't noticed a rainbow effect though.
Spigen ones cover the whole screen (not full coverage) and from S6 experiance they are actually slightly wider than the active parts of the screen, unliek most ones I have seen that are exactly the same width as the screen.
Can someone confirm that the front dimesions of S6/S7 are the same? Have some spigen ones left and guessing they will fit exactly the same?

Read both positive and negative ones on the S7 version. Some say perfect fit and some say its peels. Might be some quality control issues on first batches I guess as they were selling way before phone release.
Same here with spigen, they don't stick at sides.

Thats a bit of bad news. I would have expected better from Spigen.
Indeed, i always buy spigen screen/glass protectors but this time they're not very different from others.
Tbh i tried other screen protectors and spigen ones are the best, they don't stick for less than 1mm but it's away from perfect anyway.
I bought some screen protectors off eBay and they leave about 2mm of space on both sides of the display.
I'm fine with the screen protector not covering the entire front panel but it should at least cover up the display. Whoever designed this film must be out of their mind.
Anyone know of an eBay seller that has a screen protector that actually covers the entire display?
EDIT: I know there are threads about this but they're all about the glass protectors. I'm looking for the film protectors.

Its seems to be the one thing thats hardest to get, I thought the S7 Edge would be the one that would be difficult to get screen protection for given the nature of the screen. I dont know whether its the 2.5D glass on the S7, but any review for screen protectors seem to be bad as there are gaps down the sides. I usually get a glass protector straight away but holding off for now until I decide whether I'm going to bother or not. I had considered one of the film covers but might just go for one of the full screen glass ones like the one below, although I really dont want to take away from the looks of the device.

I bought a tempered glass screen protector off eBay that covers the entire edge but leaving a tiny bit of room for a case to go on without lifting the protector. But the downside is you can see the dot matrix in the sun which isn't a major problem for me. I would rather see a good protector that i paid $10 that had dot matrix then see scratches form over time.

Is it the digitizer that you can see when looking at it with bright sunlight?
No. Since the whole protector isn't sticky like the plastic ones usually are. Only the touch screen part of the protector have these little dots that you will see in bright lighting which is to make touch feel normal. Can be quite annoying sometimes but i get over it. Worth the protection to me

Like in the picture in the post below? As you say its weighing up how much it annoys you vs how much you want to protect your screen.

Yeah thats a pretty good example of "The Dot Matrix Effect" but luckily for me the protector i have isn't anywhere near as bad as that. And definitely not as noticeable. It only annoys me the tiniest amount. But i rarely see it or notice it that much sometimes.

Been using a Clear-Coat film screen protector since I got my S7 in March. It's a good product, holds up well and works perfect with my Otterbox Commuter Case. Lifetime warranty. It's not tempered glass.

Does it affect touch sensitivity? Is it slippery the same as the screen? Would be nice to have more in-depth review.

Are you sure? It looks pretty flat from really looking at it...
It definitely has a curved edge. However, none of us know yet, whether the curve starts close enough to the edge to allow tempered glass screen protectors to fit without issues, or not. We will know shortly.
its suppose to be curved similar to how the iphone and note 4 are i believe.
Looks like it's going to have curved edges. Look at the images on this screen protector page. Looks like they are making it so that there's no halo effect.

yeah, a number of the TG descriptions say the same thing. I'm fine with that, hate the halo.
This is one of those things I dislike about a lot of new phones. The slight curve at the edge looks nice, but makes screen protectors more difficult to deal with.
I'd much prefer a perfectly flat screen so that I can get a nice glass screen protector that covers the entire face of the phone. This is why I keep falling back to the Spigen plastic film screen protectors on my Nexus 6, they cover as far out on the edges as possible. I just replace them as they get scratched.
I've got a Orzly pro fit protector on the way and it says the edges are curved on it to fit the screen perfectly

The purpose isn't even to look nice with a screen protector (which are useless anyway -- won't stop you from cracking the screen, since it will crack right through a screen protector). The purpose of curved edges is to EXPOSE the screen to drop damage, since the screen now sticks out beyond the frame instead of being tucked slightly into the frame.
This is what they do in order to maintain sales volumes when they realize that phone technology is so good now that you are likely to keep the same phone for several years. Make them break and you have to replace!
I can confirm that the pixel has curved edges and it is slightly less curved compared to the oneplus 3

Good deal. This means the Orzly TG protector with black borders should be a perfect option. I have the Skinomi wet apply protector going on the phone when it arrives tomorrow and it will hold me over until the Orzly protector arrives in November.

Hello,
I'm looking for a good film screen protector, I'm not a fan of tempered glass. I got some protectors off Amazon, but they are really bad. As in they don't look uniform, rather porous, especially when observed in sunlight. Plus it's difficult to slide the finger, impossible if the finger is moist for whatever reason. The most annoying thing about them is that using OP gestures navigation hurts my finger, because the protector's bottom edge is rather sharp and the finger hooks on it. The factory installed protector was good, but it was easily scratched in the pocket and I had to replace it.
People tend to recommend one from Gadgetshieldz, can someone confirm it's free from the mentioned downsides?
use protectionfilms24 web site. they have good quality film
You should try Gadgetshieldz
I can confirm that it is the most amazing screen guard you will ever use. I have been using it for many years now, And I do not recommend any other brand. I have experienced it for years now. That product has no downside.

Did you got a casefit one or normal?
Personally I've used Skinomi skins on my last two devices because they're case-friendly and because Skinomi truly will send you free replacement screen protectors for any reason. I like the one for the 6T because it doesn't include a thin strip of material above the front camera and rather follows the bottom of the teardrop shape. The downside to skins like these is that any really narrow sections quickly stretch out and become disgusting, but the Skinomi skin for the 6T doesn't include any such segments.
