Firstly with the gorrila glass do I need a protector..?
Second I hear the metal scratches easily so I was thinking of getting a skin protector so I could still use the dock... But the only issue with that is then the dock would be a different color and the dock would end up getting scratches on it
The only screen protectors I have seen are the skinomi brand ones...
Anyone see any others

Something I've seen is quite a nice bag by case logic that let's you use any 10.1 tab with keyboard whilst still in the bag / case. Probably a better option have a look on the case logic website. I travel a lot / fly and that's what I will be getting its perfect.
Screen protector isn't needed with gorilla glass but there will be loads of them out once the Asus Transformer Prime comes out.

Some screen protectors will help with fingerprints on the glass though. I think a lot of people use them for that reason alone. I hate the way most screen protectors feel so I doubt I will use one. I may grab a skinomi skin though if the amethyst is too purple.
There's no need to "protect" the screen from scratches because of the gorilla glass (but bear in mind this doesn't protect from egregious mishaps).
That being said, I had a SGP Matte screen protector on my GalaxyTab10.1 because I absolutely could not handle the ridiculous amounts of reflection in the screen, and I anticipate I'll get another one for this tablet. The matte screen protectors also give you an awesome tactile feel on the screen, in addition to protecting against fingerprints. The tradeoff is about a 2-5% reduction in screen clarity. For me it was easily worth it.
Look out for a Steinheil screen protector (Ultra Crystal) when it comes out. You don't need one for Gorilla glass but I get one for fingerprint reasons. I have one on the Xoom and it handles finger prints better than bare surface. I've also tried Skinomi and ZAGG for various phones and tablets, but I no longer like the wet application unless it's for skinning.

For those that don't know SGP = Steiheil. The matte will be best against fingerprints and glare, but visibility isn't as good, though. Clear is best for seeing the "true" display but bad against fingerprints and glare.

To expound on this a bit further, Steinheill makes an Ultra Crystal (it's so clear it's practically invisible, no anti-glare/fingerprint properities), an Ultra Optics (anti-glare/fingerprint, 3~% reduction in screen clarity, my preference), and one in between (inferior imo).
If you google or youtube the iPad equivalents you can find some good reviews of all them compared next to each other. But those in the know will recommend Steinheill/SGP without hesitation because of their outstanding reputation.
And again, I'll throw out my recommendation for the Ultra Optics version. Of course everyone's preferences will be different, but once you've compared the (lack of) glare with one on to a tablet without one you'll never want to go back. It makes the screen more readable without having to crank up the brightness, which always hurt my eyes after extended amounts of use. I found gaming on it easier, as well, because of how smooth gliding a finger on it is.
Yeah the thing is I'm not waiting for a skin/screen protector from another company to come out so I'm just gonna get the skinomi clear screen and skin protector!

Another +1 for SGP Screen protectors. I use them on all my touch screen devices and will be picking up the Ultra Optic for the Prime as soon as it hits.
After using most the major brands, including Skinomi, nothing seems to compare with the SGP covers. They feel just like glass (no annoying drag or stickiness), and their anti-glare / fingerprint properties are pretty impressive. They did make an actual body protector (Skin Gaurd) for the original Transformer, but I have never used that specific product so can't speak to its quality. It also didn't interfere with Docking, was $19, and you can bet they will make one for the Prime as well.

I contacted them a couple of days ago regarding their protectors. Their reply was as follows:
Unfortunately, we don't have any plans of making Screen Protectors for Asus Transformer
Prime as of right now. However, we may change our production plans in the future. Please check our
website for any updates time to time.

I will probably go nekkid, I really dislike screen protectors and I have put one on my fascinate and removed it a couple days later, with gorilla glass I haven't had any scratch issues even carrying in my pocket with keys and my prime won't have to go against any of that
Just grabbed a Skinomi TechSkin screen protector for $15 on Amazon. I know Gorilla Glass doesn't really need "protection", but I am terrified of damaing the screen in any way. Opted for the normal TechSkin over the DryTech after speaking with their Customer Service and verifying that the TechSkin feels more like a glass surface, aka no drag or friction.
I usually install SGP protectors, and really want the Ultra Optic protector for its anti-glare / fingerprint attributes, but until they are released for the Prime, this was cheap enough to hold me over.
I have a Sensation with Gorilla Glass and I don't use a screen protector at all. I've purposely scraped knives and scissors on my screen to prove a point to friends about the glass. It's good stuff. It's not indestructible like putting too much weight on it) but it's certainly enough to keep the screen protected against keys in my pocket and what not.
As for smudges from your hands, I don't have any experience myself with anything that supposedly reduces that, but I don't have too many smudges on my phone and they wipe off easy (thanks to Gorilla Glass being so tough). I'm skeptical about any layer you can put on the screen that prevents smudges and finger prints. Oil is oil. I'm really careful about what I eat before touching the phone because even a carrot leaves stuff on your fingers that get on your screen.
One of my favorite touted features of the Prime is that it is "hydro-oleophobic", which means there is a special coating on the screen and casing to make it resistant to water/oil/smudges. Perhaps this in combination with the Gorilla Glass will alleviate the need to install a screen protector?
It has been my experience that screen protectors do reduce the sensitivity of a stylus. So initially I'm going to be brave and use the Prime without a screen protector, as I really want to use it for note taking and drawing with a stylus.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that coating your talking about i just didnt see it on the Prime.When i played with the display model at Gamestop the screen had plenty of fingerprints and smudges.Yet the screen was still beautiful.Goes to show u that a clean screen will be amazing.

Well of course it would because it's a display model! Lol
But I'm gonna tell you that the display unit probably had some sort of protector on it!

Screen protector is still a good idea. It's gorilla glass, but its still glass. Any common sand still has a higher hardness of glass. Just something to keep in mind.
Sent over Al Gore's internet via a rooted Thunderbolt.
Personally, I don't think I'm gonna get a screen protector. Seems silly, as gorilla class is awesome - very happy with my gs2 (though I did drop it straight on the concrete and it got chipped lol...but no crack). Im mot too upset with finger print marks. I'm thinking about picking up one of those sub 10$ tablet cases on amazon!

Gorilla Glass is awesome, but not indestructible. My wife's Samsung Infuse is only 3-4 months old, and there are a few scratches on the gorilla glass screen.
Granted, I have kids that sometimes get ahold of her phone, but I definitely want something to gaurd against any possibility of scratches on the Prime. Will be rocking a Skinomi until SGP releases their protectors for this device.

Should I get antiglare or clear? What do you guys like better?
I'm looking for a screen protector with anti-glare if possible, what is the best one to buy?
Was going to suggest Skinomi, then saw you need anti glare. I never found one I liked with "ant glare", and I don't know of any for the View/Flyer. Sorry =/
If anti-glare becomes too difficult to find, then I highly suggest the Skinomi. I have it on 3 of my tablets currently, and have tried multiple different companies protectors including whatever Sprint sells, BestSkinEver, Zagg, Bodyguardz and a bunch of generic ebay screen protectors. After trying all the other brands, the Skinomi is my favorite and all I'll use on any touchscreen device now.
Don't know about "best", but I quite like the Skinomi (wet apply) protector on my Flyer as well.
http://www.skinomi.com/htcflp.html
I have Bodyguardz on my phone, which is also a good protector. They didn't make protectors for the Flyer, when the tablet when the first came out (why I decided to try Skinomi) but now they do. They have anti-glare, but its backordered:
http://www.bodyguardz.com/screenguardz-htc-evo-view-4g-htc-flyer-protection-cases-screen-protectors-covers-shields-skins-films.html?dir=asc&order=sort_priority
I use this one
http://shop.brando.com/brando-works...otector-htc-flyer-p510e-_p05871c1315d039.html
You're ordering from Hong Kong, so it takes a while, and the credit card hassle with overseas orders. But really high quality.
I am currently using this one from Amazon. The only thing is you have to use a hole punch to create the hole for the front camera. Other than that, it is a great screen protector that is matte.
Forum wont let me post links yet, so search for Great Shield Ultra Anti Glare screen protector for HTC Flyer.
Official htc screen protectors are £5 ($8) on amazon uk, they're great.
Any of these work better with the pen?
It's not anti-glare, but I have this screen protector, and it's fantastic. Perfect size with cut outs where they're needed. Very easy to apply as well. I use the Scribe daily, and this screen protector works great with it.
GreatShield Ultra Smooth Clear Screen Protector Film for HTC Flyer / Sprint EVO View 4G
I tried an anti-glare screen protector when I first received my View, but the graininess was much too distracting for what I primarily use it for - reading. On phones, I generally don't have a problem with the graininess that anti-glare screen protectors add. But that's probably because I'm not staring at my phone and reading for hours at a time. The size difference in the screen also makes it more pronounced. I'll put up with having to wipe finger prints off and making adjustments to avoid glare to have a better overall experience. This is the anti-glare screen protector that I used - HHI HTC EVO View 4G Anti-Fingerprint, Anti-Glare, Matte Finishing Screen Protector. It did the job quite well, but it just wasn't for me on a screen this size.
I'm considering buying an anti-glare one for my Flyer because I'm getting tired of adjusting the angle when working on my tablet.
I was wondering how the stylus works on these anti-glare screen protectors? The one I have on now (simple screen protector) gets scratched easily when using the stylus.
Are these behaving better?

I've had this clear screen protector applied since late December. I use the tablet with the Scribe daily, and I have yet to get a single scratch on it.
When I used this anti-glare screen protector, the Scribe never left a scratch either. The Scribe worked fine with it, but since the screen protector was somewhat thicker than a clear one (which seems to be the norm with anti-glare screen protectors in my experience), I did experience some issues with it not always registering and a loss in precision at time. But it wasn't anything that was terribly noticeable most of the time. I Haven't had any problems with the clear GreatSheild in the that department.
Thank you for your answer.
Surely the screen protector I have on right now is of lower quality and I'll have to change is ASAP. I'll just have to decide between a clear or anti-glare one. But since the viewing angle and outside readability are still issues for me, I think I'll go for the anti-glare one.
Hello, I'm looking to get the word out that the Zagg tempered glass screen protector for the Nexus 6 has a potential flaw at the moment.
I picked up the tempered glass zagg screen protector for my Nexus 6 from a Sprint store, but I noticed it looked like it was not sticking around the edges of the display after it was applied. When I went back to return it, I came to find out that the similar zagg protector for the Galaxy Note 4 had a similar flaw that needed an updated design to the screen protector. Something to do with curved glass on the display.
The sales representatives at the sprint store and zagg should know about this issue now, so hopefully this will get cleared up. I would certainly like to go with a properly designed tempered glass screen protector.
This has been mentioned all up and down in the "Tempered Glass" thread, where this post should have gone.
Yes, i realized that soon after and had already reported my post as redundent.
My mistake and I wont make any more replies here.
Thread closed at the request of the OP
Hey guys,
sorry if my english isn't perfect at all. I just received my Oneplus 5 yesterday and I already have a case, which is good for me. The thing is that screen protection is actually a headache with this phone...
The default screen protector that Oneplus has isn't bad at all, but of course is not something to use forever. So I've read the Orzly thread, the Nillkin thread, even the original Oneplus 5 tempered glass thread, and I still having doubts about what should I definetly buy. I ordered Orzly's tempered glass yesterday, but now some people are telling me that it was a bad idea since it has an "oil effect" and other faults.
So my questions are:
1 - Is the Orzly's tempered glass worthy after all?
2 - Will we have new screen protectors soon with higher quality?
Not sure if I should cancel my order
Thank you all in advance.
I bought the Orzly's tempered glass and I can say that it's worth the price.
However there are things you need to know :
1. it's very a dust magnet near the cutout.
2. there is a rainbow effect with this protection.
3. The touch screen is average...
So now I got the Nillkin tempered glass and I'm very happy with it. Of course it doesn't cover the whole screen (that is the main issue). But there is not rainbow effect. And the touch screen is way better than the Orzly's. And it feels higher in terms of quality.
Also, it's less dust magnet than the Orzly.
In my opinion, you should wait until a compagny releases a good tempered glass (I'm thinking about spigen). But in case you really need a tempered glass screen protector, take Orzly if you a tempered glass that covers the whole screen. Otherwise, take the nillkin.

Thanks, I'll keep the order then and let's see what happens.
the orzly broke on my phone after 2 days, i still have one screen protector left. i hope it lasts longer. I actually was expecting that to happen since orzly's protector is completely flat.
the next time i need a screen protector ill get one of those plastic ones.

I think that doesn't matter what screen protector you have. My girlfriend 3 years ago had the best screen protector ever and her Nexus 4 just was destroyed in a normal fall, so...
Screen protectors are only for scratches, if the fall must destroy the phone it will anyway.
The Orzly TGSP is probably the best one out there. It does have it's problems but it provides full covereage. It's the one i'm using.
I am still using my orzly tgsp because it is the best of the bunch atm. I got lucky and do not have the rainbow effect in the center of the screen, so install carefully and you might not get it either
Thank you all for your answers, I hope to receive it as soon as possible
Hey! I am the type of person who drops his phone once in a while and I ALWAYS put a screen protector on my new phones....
I prefer the 9H display protectors that cover up the whole display...
I searched for some for the OnePlus5 but found nothing convincing!
on amazon people wrote reviews that the original screen protector with the black bars covers up a bit of the lcd itself and not a single protector had mor than 3 starts out of 5...
then I checked out rhinoshield. 25 bucks is quite a lot but the screen protector by rhinoshield doesn't cover up the whole screen (confirmed by the product pictures and a review)
can anybody reccommend me a screen protector for the oneplus 5?
links would be great as well :
