So I ordered some screen protectors that claim they fit the transformer screen however they are slightly bigger leaving one side unable to stick properly because it protrudes slightly off the screen. I have read several other people say they have had the same problem. Cutting it with an exacto knife doesn't quite leave the edge smooth. Has anybody found one that actually fits the screen properly?
yep, fits perfectly

i brought these and they are great. Went on super easy, no air bubbles. They are the kind that have the two tabs on them. you pull the back off then place on the screen, smooth out the air bubbles etc, then pull the top layer off with the other tab. They are great quality. I am happy with them

And does it fit perfect bezel to bezel? I purchased this one http://cgi.ebay.com/Lots-5-Clear-Sc...&otn=5&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=1556935545867845673 and extremely disappointed. Has the same 2 tabs, dimensions specified say same as yours however one edge is slightly too long. I have several devices that I have applied protectors to problem free so i know its not me. Just want to make sure it fits perfectly. Any chance you can upload pics? was looking at the clarivue. Thanks.

The Clarivue leaves a gap around all sides.
I appreciate the feedback. Anybody else with screen protector input or info?

Yes, seems they come from this wowparts. Does yours fit or is it slightly too large?
i did get your message. yes mine had the iPad pictured on the front of the package too, but the screen protectors honestly fit perfectly. Went on first try with no issues. Maybe you got a bad batch? I would definitely buy from them again

It's very odd. I purchased the 5 pack and tried 4 because I'm OCD and everyone too large. Cut outs for the camera line up perfectly but one side and one edge on the bottom are too long. I wonder if maybe the screen has changed slightly on the tablet... I read early versions had issues and maybe they changed something. I just purchased mine and has a serial number that begins with b6 which I read was from the later batches. Looks like I may have to spend extra on that clarivue that is cut slightly short. Too chicken to let the screen ride naked.

How about the one from bestskinsever?
I'm looking for a screen protector for my TF and checked at bestskinsever.com. I bought iPhone 3GS screen protector when it was on sale. As a satisfied customer I went back to the site and was glad that they are making protectors for TF.
Has anyone tried it so far? What is your feedback? Was it a perfect fit? Did it serve the purpose?
iPhone protector I bought had a few bubbles on Day 1 but disappeared the next day.
I'm unable to post the link...look under tablet section on their website.

I have had Ghost Armor on all of my phones and intend to for my Prime because it's great stuff. I went to the Ghost Armor kiosk at the mall and didn't have it for the Prime. It's on the website so I'm sure I'll be able to order it. I just don't like doing it myself because I like the guarantee of having them re-do it if they get it wrong.

if you have the front and back protector on it will scratch.. i had the front and it scratch when i put it on.. but i figure out a way so it wont scratch the front now...you can see on the dock mount there is a long thin black pad (sticker) .. that what push against the screen and scratch it.. so i took it off and clean off all the glue with a q tip and alcohol...
So to clarify it scratches the screen protector, the carbon fiber, or the prime itself?
The screen protector. But the prime itself it untouched

I ordered it from the mall kiosk. They will install it when it comes in. I have GA on my mytouch 4G. Had it on since day one. It has a couple scratches but the back and front are in tact. Sides started to come off after over a year of going in and out of my pocket and 2 decent drops. But front and back held up better than I would have guessed. I still think I can peel off the GA and sell my mytouch in great condition on eBay. I'm sure there are other great solutions, might even have a little less "orange peel" factor or a fraction of a percent more translucency. But if you are lazy and want an excellent case, no bubbles, no worries... Do yourself a favor and hit up the kiosk.

sorry for all the questions but...i must ask another (maybe a few):
how hard is it to dock it with both on without those black stripes being removed?...and how is the back? is it like the ipad on with the corners cut so they dont bubble up b/c of the bend? or are there small strips that go along the edges?

Yeah, they offered to order it for me, but I just don't trust them to complete an order correctly. The kiosk nearest me has the highest employee turnover I've ever seen.
I honestly am not gonna install a screen protector it makes it look ugly and decreases the sensitivity of it....

Here is what I do not understand. Putting a screen protector on Gorilla Glass, sounds like overkill to me. My Inspire has it and it rolls around in my pocket with change/keys and not a single scratch, not even a tiny minor one on the phone. I scratch almost all of my phones in one way or another so this is fantastic. I never understood protectors because they make the screen look like junk (and the primes screen is FANTASTIC). And from what I've used, sometimes make it less responsive.
I guess why would you put a protector on it? Don't believe me about the scratch resistance, go look on their website, or come find me i'll take my key s to my phone and show you how good the gorilla glass is. Or maybe you're using the prime as a frisbee, and in that case nothing will help you . Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me.

I've only had one screen protector that was noticeable and ugly, it also effected the screen sensitivity, that was a anti glare/finger print which I got from Verizon. I've had several clear protectors since that you can't tell they are there, and they didn't have sensitivity issues.

Gorilla glass is overrated, I baby my phone and it has a lot of scratches. The only reason I didn't get a protector is because I went through 6 thunderbolts (doesn't have gorilla glass) and after the first three I quit using screen protectors and the screen never got a scratch, and I had the last one for 2 months. I thought if the t bolt screen was that good then gorilla glass would be better, not so, my bionic started getting scratched up within the first week.

I highly recommend an Invisishield. I love their products, given that my Epic 4G Touch has one. But needless to say, I was a little reluctant to have Geek Squad install one on my Prime, given that I purchased the unit for the original Transformer. We "ghetto rigged" it perfectly, and it came out really well! I am very pleased with how it looks! Give it a shot if you're anything like me... someone who needs instant gratification.

So my 2 day old Note has a hairline scratch that is only visible with the screen off in the right light. I am told that if I get this screen protector it will more than likely hide the scratch, and obviously prevent new ones. I'm curious to hear if others have this and like it. I have never used a screen protector because I don't like the way they look and feel, but apparently this screen is very easily scratched, despite me only keeping it in my pocket by itself.

I had an invisibleShield on my Atrix and loved it. I also bought the ivs for the note and am sending it back tomorrow because it is for the European modle which means it has a button hole on the middle front. They don't make one for the ATT note yet but as soon as they do I am getting it.

Yes the Zagg or any Zagg type screen protector will make any light scratch invisible. I was the guy who posted about a scratch . Anyways my Zagg came in like a day after it happened, I put it on and I cant even see the scratch.
Does Zagg still have the orange peel look?

Yes it does and it kinda sucks, I always buy BSE skins (Best skins ever) but they only have the international version atm.
Have the Zagg Dry Invisi-Shield installed on mine, front and back protection, and both he dry and wet install shields leave little indented marks when you use the s-pen because they are soft. At first its barely noticeable but the little grooves build up over time. Just something to consider, depending on how much you use the s-pen.

I wish they would have just left the s pen off because I'm never going to use it. It should just be a smartphone, not even tablets come with stylist pens now days. Oh well, I'm still really enjoying the phone. Can't wait for ICS to come out and fix the stutter/non responsive bugs when flipping through home pages.
Check ebay. It's cheaper and free shipping.

I use my s-pen. A lot. Glad they don't base their product manufacturing decisions around your personal preferences. Indespensibe for fine- photo editing, PDF annotation, mobile signatures and the list goes on and on.

I went to Best Buy and and exchanged the phone for a new one because of the scratch and bought the InvisibleShield. I'm not crazy about the Orange Peel look, but it's better than the scratched screen look.
i have the shield on mine as well........after having the rocket for 5 months and not having a case nor a screen protector i had to get one for the notes awsome screen.
and the S-pen is Great. i use it for texting and everything. the write to text is pretty accurate and fast when you get used to it. my only gripe is that with the Zagg shield the pen does not flow quite as smoothly so it hickups here and there when not applying just the right amount of pressure.
I actually wish that it had the physical home button like the Intl version. I saw some neat tips and tricks -such as disable touch screen -which would be great for movies, etc -especially with children...
I went with the Rearth Ringbo screen cover. Cant comment since I ordered it this AM.

I was 1 click away from ordering that. I ended up with the SGP because I didn't know which was better. I haven't done screen protector shopping in a while. Is the Rearth better than
SGP?
I just learned after buying the Invisible Shield that even though they offer a lifetime "free" replacement, it costs $4 for them to ship it to you and you have to pay to ship it back. In what world is that free?
I bought the invisible sheild today from bestbuy. Not really liking how it feels "tacky" compared to the slick glass. Something to keep in mind when considering purchasing it.

I bought the Zagg tonight, installed it and thought I had it on perfect! Was all proud of myself. Went to go turn the screen on and all these rainbow colors and weird looking dots all over between the screen and shield! I was so pissed. I think I sprayed too much of their liquid on. I should have just paid Best Buy to install. What a waste of money. $22 down the drain.
bought some screen protectors on Amazon to get here Thursday and then 6x off of eBay. I don't care if I have to replace one a month. I'm not spending $20 anymore on one screen protector.
Zagg has also started making an HD version of there screen protector, this one does not give you the orange peel look like the old ones. Right now i think it is only for the Iphone but give it some time they will probity start making them all like that.
Just returned this from Amazon.

Unfortunately the outer 4mm does not stick down because the outer edge of the screen is slightly curved.
I'm sure the same will apply for every glass protector.
Having the same issue with this one too.
The SP is too big - so edges wont stay stuck down - even though they have been sized considerably smaller than the actual front glass area.
I have also ordered a non-glass SP - but the only one I could find was matte / anti-glare... Most of the previous anti-glare SPs I have tried mess up the display quality too much. So, not holding out too much hope for this one...
Was searching for a case while out shopping and while in a office depot type store they suggested a liquid screen protector. Turned out they offered the service in store and the employees all genuinely seemed enthusiastic about it having it on their own phones.
Never heard about it, cost was £10 so thought why not with little or no other options.
How a nanotechnology liquid can protect against scratching I'm not sure but better than nothing.
I got an antiglare one which really helps. Was in a pack of two. Tried the first one and was having the same issue as op. Cut the second one to my needs, still not neat on all the edges but it wont come off and fulfills its job.
Update: I received the matte one and fitted it.
Coverage is acceptable and the anti glare effect is not as bad in terms of graininess and impact on screen quality as others I have used.
But it does not look as good as the best one (cant remember the brand) I used previously.
I did not get it 100% perfectly lined up - so it is not sticking down perfectly along one edge - probably because it is not correctly centered and overruns on that side.
The other 3 sides are stuck down well.
Early days - but its a pack of 3 - so I can have another attempt if this one starts lifting...
Last Friday I also ordered some clear SPs from Ebay - in case the matte ones were rubbish.
I ordered this three pack - and the ones I received are Techgear brand. I have not fitted them yet - as I want to see how I get on with the matte ones.
However, I have used Techgear SPs on several phones over the past few years and they are generally of a reasonable quality....

I sent my M8 back - it would not resume after pausing a HD Netflix movie (despite resetting and re-installing etc).
So if anybody wants the above unused pack of Techgear SPs and you are based in the UK - just reply here to claim and then drop me a PM with your address. I will stick a stamp on them and send them your way..

So, are these downloaded or realtime streaming? I am using downloads during my commute.
I tried 3 different titles in HD - and older Black Mirror episode and two more recent Stranger Things 2 episodes. All do the same - they play ok, until I pause and turn the screen off. But when I turn the screen back on, the screen stays black - I can see the Netflix controls but they don't respond. I waited several seconds but still nothing. I then have to return to the home screen, open Netflix again , goto downloads and resume whatever I was watching. And since I have to pause and resume several times during my commute the whole routine becomes a bit tedious...
And when you add the occasional Bluetooth headphone connectivity issues - the M5 was no longer worth keeping.
Who knows maybe I will revisit in a few months time - after a few firmware updates....
Streaming. Will have to try downloaded and see if I have the same problem.
Has anyone sourced a decent screen protector for the M5 yet? I got mine a couple of days ago and I'm terrified of getting the screen damaged.

I use BROTECT® AirGlass® Premium Glass Screen Protector Clear, seems ok, easy to apply, flexible enough to lift it up to pick out dirt trap under while installing it.
It claims to be glass, yet flexible. I tried to bend and fold a bit of left over and it cracks like glass. However when I burn it, it melt like plastic. So I am not too sure if it is glass or plastic TBH.
I really need to get one soon as I made the mistake of thinking that it would have a factory fitted film-type one, like the one on the P20 Pro. But after finding a minute scratch on mine yesterday, I've found out to my cost, that it hasn't. It mustn't have gorilla or any other sort of toughened glass either.

Then go get one, anyone even the cheapest plastic film will protect your screen than bare back. You can find others that may fit better later on. One thing is not to expect full glass edge to edge protection, the glass is curved, so even if it is just display edge to display edge, I am happy.

I've just ordered the brotect airglass from amazon so thanks for the recommendation. It's a bit pricey compared to other protectors, so I'm hoping it's a case of "you get what you pay for". I already got the official Huawei flip cover so this has given a degree of protection in the meantime.

No problem. Good luck with your installation. I wet applied mine and only got 1 dust under mine. Given how flexible it is, I use a needle to lift it and another needle to remove the dust. Now it just looks perfect with no air bubbles or dust.

Great call on the brotect protector. I was a bit dubious of it at first as there was quite a lot of detritus and dust on the surface of the protector when I took it out of the packaging. But I managed to get it fitted with no dust particles or bubbles. It would've been easier to line up if the starting end was switched to the fingerprint detector end as well. But the end result is very good.
I ordered 2 devices, one with dual screen, one without (I think the white is gorgeous and no white dual screen, so didn't bother). However, the dual screen one will be more for home use. So when the phones are "out and about" what case options are there? I have googled, Amazon, eBay, Walmart, but really only found clear rubber, which I already know from experience will discolor over time. How long til we get viable options for cases with such a new phone? I for sure need cases since these glass phones like to get up off surfaces. What's everyone else looking at?

That is true. I'll keep that one in mind. Ebay is full of ones from China. Um not in this climate right now lol. But before I can even start using the phones, I gotta have some sort of protection lol
So I ordered this case so I would have something to put on it until my dual screen case arrives. It was the only one that could be here this weekend. The screen protectors I ordered are a month out on Amazon. On ATT you get the phone, then register on LG site to get the dual screen case, 3-6 weeks delivery, sadness.

I ordered that as well, because it will arrive soonest, but I'd rather clear. Why put a black case on a white phone. I usually get several cases anyway.

I ordered my clear TPU off ebay for that very reason of long ship times. Did find a wet install protector that will be here Sunday tho. That's what I like anyway, not glass.

Agreed, that's why I'm going clear and it'll be here Sunday. But I did find another on Amazon (July delivery so not ordering now) that is that glitter movement one. Clear with silver glittery hearts. Think when this country gets back to normal I'll order that, I just need protection before I start using it. That thing is heavy! Coming from a G8, it's quite a bit heavier, and larger than I'm used to ATM lol not risking it. Have had in my possession 2 days and haven't even turned it on. Lol

Nice! I wrote IQ Shield to see if/when they have plans to release protectors for this device. "at this time we don't know if we'll release protection for this device" well boo on you IQ Shield. I've had them on every device since they went full curved screens (back to what, the V20? Altho that curve wasn't as severe as these latest devices, still a flat protector refused to stick) and actually dropped my G8 down a set of three concrete steps. Protector took every ding, and screen still flawless. Slap another one on and done. Glass protector would have shattered first step and screen on second and third lol

Tired out the new case. The side leave a gap between the glass protector. I might stick to the TPU case until something better.
Also. There's no 4 corners to protect the camera.

I thought about waiting for the case, but just couldn't do it. I have never used a phone without a case, so it does feel kind of wierd, but I'll manage till Sunday, then the longer wait starts on the dual screen case. Why couldn't ATT bundle it with the phone like T-Mob? Ugh
I used to house my LG phones in cases made by TetDed. They are really just thin, molded shells covered with soft and grippy dead cow skin (real leather). Sadly, they didn't make a case for the G8 (either of them). I have emailed trying to convince them to make some for the V60.

I used to use encased hard shells on my phone, slide in and clip to hold together. Then when I got the G8, they didn't make one for it, and this V60 is so new that there aren't alot of options yet. Not even an Otterbox defender!

Got the case today, and must say I like it. Fits snug and has a good feel. I was expecting far less!
