I don't use one on my atrix (same glass) and after only a few days I see tons of micro scratches. Many say that you don't need one with gorilla glass, but I hate not having one because of scratches, but when I do the screen is so less vivid. I am getting a TF in the next few days, do those Skinomi screen protectors muttle the screen? I plan to have it in a neoprene sleeve.
why not?
you put $400 down and invest in a tablet.
It shouldn't hurt to put another $10-$20 to insure your product safety from future usages.
Well obviously, I am just worrying about muttling the screen color.
i had a skinomi on my g-tab, and it wasn't too bad. I actually liked how it cut down on the glare. I bought one for the TF, but haven't put it on yet... I guess I better get on that.
What screen protector did you try previously that muddled colors? I've used clairvue, martin fields, seidio and sgp and they were all totally clear. For the 10 minutes i used the skinomi,that was also clear.

I have had mine for about a month now with very regular use, and I have no micro-scratches.... I don't know what one would be doing to a tablet to cause it to scratch. Do you have sandpaper on your fingers? Are you leaving it face down on the table???
I bought a $10 neoprene netbook sleeve for a case and that is all I plan on doing.

Well, better to be safe than sorry.
Like the last poster I would think these are less likely candidates for scratches. I'm going without.
I plan on not using a protector. If I see scratches, then I will decide. none yet!
I think screen protectors are seriously ugly. Unless you are not using a sleeve when carrying it in a bag with other items, i would not get one. It isnt like you are carrying it in your pocket with keys.
I don't like screen protectors at all. It makes me think of old times when the protector was a "must-have" for all smartphones like Diamond because of his fragile screen. For last whole year I've used Desire without any screen protector. It screen looks still as new one (maybe one scratch like a hair could be visible from specific angle) but the comfort of usage is priceless. I will try to buy some case for my TF, but without anything on the screen.
If I'm going to pay $500 for a tablet then you can bet I'm putting on a screen protector even if the screen is supposedly scratch proof. I would hate to say "if only" when I do end up scratching it. Definitely rather be safe then sorry.

A tablet is not a cellphone that gets tossed around. Do you have a screen protector on your TV? On your computer monitor? On your lap top monitor?
How exactly do you think you are going to get a scratch on it? Are you keeping it in your purse with a set of keys? Or will you keep in in a case?
My tablet is either in my hand, or in a case. What do I need a screen protector for? I paid good money for a nice screen. Putting a protector on it seriously degrades the picture quality.
Also remember that many of the "OMG WHAT A COOL SCREEN PROTECTOR!!" posts on this or any forum are likely put there by the manufacturer as covert advertising.
I got the screen protect from Electroniccrap. It's "anti glare/anti fingerprint" so its not "crystal" clear, but I love it just cuz swiping the screen just feels so much smoother.
But then again, that's just me

Also what is the best neoprene case that fits both the tablet alone and the tablet with the keyboard snugly?
I was thinking this. http://www.amazon.com/Incase-CL5736...D054/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1307478089&sr=8-1
Maybe the guys who like screen protectors over gorilla glass are the same guys who wear a t-shirt over a bullet proof vest for more protection.

I concur, what is the point of having Gorilla glass if it is so susceptible to any scratches? If you are going to put a portfolio case on it then it would act the same as when you close the lid on your laptop. All my years with my Toshiba Lap I never once considered a screen protector nor had any scratches. Just a waste of money and a marketing ploy to gouge customers out of unnecessary accessories to inflate the overall market for these devices.
All I would be looking at is a portfolio case and microsd card, that's about it.

But I like incase, and love their quality. My only question is will that sleeve fit the tablet alone snugly, what about the tablet and the keyboard?
Just wondering if we do need them, or does the phone come with one already applied from the factory?
If we do need them, anyone reccomend the ones to get?
I don't personally use one because I'm very careful and keep my phone in a mofi case. Although I do know someone who has owned the phone a shorter time than me and has already scratched his screen.
I suppose it depends on how careful you are. The screens on these things are tough but they will scratch.
Was thinking of purchasing a gel case, or some sort of case.
FlexiShield for Galaxy S II
Has caught my eye, looks rather good. I know it wont offer full screen protection, but, The raised case around the screen means the screen won't touch any surface if its placed face down im guessing?

I always use a screen protector just in case, as I find the trade off between having one on or risking scratching a screen on a phone I paid £400+ that will continually bug me if scratched is worth it.
I normally pickup a pack of cheapies from ebay and replace when needed.
Also picked up an lovely s-line case too from ebay which does the job and looks great.
Sorry can't post an links as am in work and Ebay and other pleasures are banned
Gorilla glass is very resistant to cracks, but not to scratches from small pieces of sand etc.
I use sgp crystal screen protectors, so far so good.

screen protector
You should use a screen protector no matter what. It's easier to replace the protector than the screen. Don't waste money on expensive ones either. I don't use eBay but I do find them on amazon dirt cheap. Amazon is a excellent source for phone accessories. I use otterbox commuter case for my phone. You should if they make one for your model. The commuter case is best of the best when it comes to cases.
i like matte screen protectors myself , they dont show up fingerprints or oils as much , on the flip side they arent as clear as ''crystal'' ones nut i find that the ''crystal'' ones pick up fingerprints oils to easy for my likings
matte ones also feel really nice and smooth , i got some cheap ones from ebay and they are fine however sgp do some matte ones as well
google is your friend
i always use a screen protector even on gorilla glass , it will scratch under certain conditions with certain particles and id rather change a screen protector then the sgs2 front glass which isnt an easy job at all as everything is built into the front of the unit
have a good day and enjoy your new gadget
Hi
You can probably purchase a screen protector for the whole screen so you can just protect it from scratches...you can buy from amzer
I am using Zagg shield full body protector best protector in the market it is scratch proof and military grade producy. Not taking the risk cuz I paid 800 bucks for this phone.

Ive heard of people having scratch their screens already, so i would advise getting a protector. It gives that added peace of mind.
Considering ordering this for xmas.
Just wondering if people went with standard B&N screen protector, or if they used something else?
I heard about this: http://www.epinions.com/content_1950392452 on reddit. I think I'll be giving it a try first. If it's not good, I'll go with another ready made type. The price is low enough that I don't mind experimenting.
I may bypass that.. Use to work at radioshack and hated having to cut out screen protectors.. even with the pre-made gride it was annoying..
For the NC, I got a $2.5 eBay job, since it's pre-cut, anti-glare, anti-smudge. Works fine.
The more important question would be HOW TO best apply a screen protector. It's a PITA, especially for butterfingers. I watched a bunch of Youtube how-tos.
There are some tricks, the main one is to work in a non-dusty, lint-free environment, and to scrupulously clean the screen surface. May be the expensive stuff have better cleaning kits. Dunno.
Personally i have elected to go without a screen protector. After using an iPod touch with a screen protector for years i have found it to be a much nicer user experience using glass screen devices without a plastic covering. And since i wont be putting the nook in my pocket im not too worried about scratches from keys and dirt. I do however use the leather nook cover when im taking it places.

I have also elected, for now, to go without a screen protector. I have a leather cover for it, and I use a stylus I purchased from Walmart (Targus, was cheaper there than anywhere else) almost all of the time. So far so good.
I don't think the NT is glass, feels like some kind of acrylic.
I bought a couple of cheap Matte screen protectors from Ebay. The brand turned out to be Insten 22191 PBNXNOOKSP02 Made in China. I could not get it on without bubbles, so I don't recommend them. I bought 2 for $2, so I may try again. I saw one applied at the B&N store and it was perfect, so perhaps the ones they sell at the store are better.
I had a gift certificate so I bought the matte one from B&N. I normally use InvisiShield protectors on my other gear, but they have a slight orange peel finish that I didn't think would serve the great NT display too well. The B&N screen works fine, but frankly I think it slightly diminished the impact of the high quality display. While it lowers the noticability of smudges, it also reduces the contrast and the sharpness and vibrancy slightly. I'm debating going with no protector, or finding a crystal clear protector that literally looks like nothing is there. I know that will do nothing for the glare and smudges, but it won't be any worse in that regard than not using one at all.
I took a chance on a kit from amazon for $9 which included 2 antiglare sheets and a stylus. The screen covers went on fast and work great while the stylus is decent.
I would post a link but I don't have enough posts, search "glareshatterer" on Amazon.
I went with "stealth shields" in ebay. They are like 7 bux for 2. It goes on with water and soap with a squeegie.
Mine went on flawlessly, no bubbles or anything. Crystal clear.
I find the water and soap shields the easiest to install. I always screw up the self adhesive ones and i alost always get at least 1 bubble.

I'm using an SGP screen protector on my og incredible and love it. It looks like they dont have one for the inc 4g yet. I emailed them and they said "As of now, we don't have any definite plans to make screen protectors for the HTC increidible 4g LTE. However, if there is increased interest from our customers, we may change our production plans in the future"
That doesnt sound good. in the mean time, I'd like to use something. I'm thinking of getting a screen for a different phone, whatever is closest and using that. Any suggestions for which phone?
I am using a skinomi screen and body protector and its really nice and easy to install. I love it because it feels like there is nothing there and the touch screen is still very responsive.

I got lucky to get free shipping without Amazon prime account. http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-SGP-In...713Q/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1342583785&sr=8-4
Once I put on $0.99 screen protector from eBay and I peeled off screen protective film? thingy, which covers both front and back of screen protector. After I peeled off that plastic thingy, it was very clear almost unnoticeable. I thought it was so nice for 99 cents, In fact, there was no screen protector. It was two piece of screen protective films putting together. That was the clearest screen protector that I've bought.
I just purchased the LTE version off eBay and I'll be needing a case and screen protector for it.
For the screen protector, I just want the plain 99-cents-for-3-pack type ones - no fancy wet application ones, or ones that give it a rubbery feeling, or that will peel and wear due to how thick they are, etc. And for some reason, I'm having trouble finding them - which is funny because its usually the oppsoite.
For the case, I'd like something that's still compatible with the official charge dock. From what I understand there's an adapter included to make it work with cases, but I still don't want anything bulky - I don't drop my phones, I just need protection from everyday wear. A plain slim snap on case would do - big plus if its legit bamboo/wood on the back (not cheap plastic or skin); nothing that covers the buttons, though, as I like their tactile feel.
Suggestions?

JK man, I guess you'll have to wait a bit more for more options to come when the handset is available worldwide.
In the meantime, you could check cases from PDAir, they seem like real premium ones, leather too.
Anyway, you can find simple screen protectors off eBay for 2/3 bucks for 3, but I went premium even there and bought the Gearmaxxx one off eBay, like 20 bucks for front+back.

To be fair, I think the guy I bought it from is a fraud and doesn't actually have them. Haven't received any communication from him since the 5th, even though I left a note upon purchase. Thank goodness I used Bill Me Later, I'm not actually out of that huge amount of money until I can cancel the transaction (if it comes to that).
And yeah I went ahead and got these two sets of screen protectors, plus this clear case for now:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/121159453538
http://www.ebay.com/itm/121167852672
http://www.ebay.com/itm/121160352193
Figure I'll give it a shot using the matte screen protector and see how I like it, and go clear if I can't take the loss in quality. And I'm considering the Incipio Watson since I do like their folio cases, but I'm not sure how I feel about having it on a phone (only had it on a tablet) and with no kickstand support.
Can I get some feedback please?
