Hello please which of the following screen protector that are installed in the dryer the better,someone has installed one of these? or that another option exists? thanks
JunLi Screen Protector
Protector for Viewsonic G Tablet-EXiM SPOC
I carry the JunLi on the site, I havent even seen the other one. I can tell you that about 80 people have gotten them from me and I haven't heard anything bad with the exception of one delivered with a crease but that was a shipping error.
Hopefully someone has tried the other to give you another opinion.
If you can get either in matte I would definitely try it. I got my matte one on ebay and love it!
Go with Skinomi!!
I tried the JunLi screen protector and I swear that the screen became unresponsive in the corners and sometimes when you tap on the onscreen keyboard.
Do yourself a favor and get the skinomi screen protector, its not a dry install but once you get it on, you'll never have to change it, its great!! Use the coupon code get25 to get 25% off your order as well!
we have had a couple of discussions about the unresponsiveness in the corners (particularly the right side). I so badly wish I could blame it on the screen protector but I've had issues before I put on on. We tried to think that maybe it was a case doing it but I've recently noticed a few issues during typing where one or two particular letters aren't responding unless I press pretty hard. I'm thinking that it's having drama after it's slept for a while because when I reboot all seems to work normal again (even the issue with the right side launcher bar)
That's my two cents. If I thought the screen protector had something to do with my particular issues I would have pulled it by now. However, the issues that I am having may also be an isolated issue with my tab.
Whatever you do... good luck!
I installed one of the skinomi screen protectors 3 days ago, i was a little concerned about using a wet applied screen protector, as ive never installed a screen protector before in my life, but i took the plunge.
I went out of my way to try and make sure i got no bubbles, but on the second day i notice i had heaps of them, it seems they appeared overnight. But bubbles are supposed to clear after a couple of day, so i decided to wait and see, well sure enough they are clearing, only have one left after 3 days since i installed it. And that one is getting smaller over time, so i expect it to be completely gone in a day or two.
The thing that made me choose this wet one over the dry ones was the healing feature the skinomi screen protector claims to have. I did have scratches when i installed it, two lines, one was about 1 inch in length, well its gone now, so i believe this screen is able to heal.
After 3 days since it was installed, its like the screen is as responsive as before and not noticeable that it has a screen protector at all.
So i recommend the skinomi screen protector.
Thanks for the answers , another question the junli protector is washable?
i got a question for everyone here, my factory applied screen protector for my X10 is peeling off and im getting sick of seeing it looking like crap, and im on the verge of removing it, but im worried the glass on the screen will get scratched easily espeically when using it, when i had my old touch pro it got a hairline scratch just using it when i swipe on the screen and im fearing it might happen to my X10
will i experience any scratches(hairline etc.) very easily if i remove my protector? i usually have my phone in a carrying case on my belt
thanks

better get a new screen guard dude..!!
I think there is a reason why the screen protector is pre-installed.

Yes it will get scratched easily, I speak from my own (unpleasant) experience...
1 year without protector! not a single scratch.. I also put it in my pocket, not in any type of case.
Dude, just be safe and get a protector
Just get one of those anti-glare ones off eBay, works like a charm.
unless you go at the screen with something sharp (knife, screwdriver, etc) then you will not scratch it. I have had no screen protector on it for months, not a single mark. infact, it looked worse when there was a screen protector on it!!
also, remember there are 2 protectors on these phones. a lot of people remove the first one, then scratch the 2nd one and think they have scratched the glass
scratch free

+1 just hit a year with no screen protector, and still scratch free! winning!
I took of the original screen protector when i received the phone...but then I read about the second screen protector and i realised that i still had that one on as well.
It was getting scratched and was hard to clean so a couple of weeks ago i took it off..(very easily although some people find it hard, maybe because it seems stubborn to come off at first)
Well, since then I have NO scratches on my phone, even though i keep it in my posket with my keys and loose change...
Also, it cleans up a lot better from the fingerprints than the screen protector did.
the only reason I can think why SE put it on is if you crack the screen it keeps the tiny pieces together so it doesnt cut you, but that means you still have cracked screen...it doesnt protect your screen, just their bank balance if you sue them!!
Lets not forget that once removed it becomes sensitive to moisture.
"if this does effect you, find a thin high quality protector"
Does it really help to have a screen protector on STR? My nook is always inside a case, and always have some finger smudges on the screen, which does not interfere with reading the screen content.
Would it make the screen harder to use, such as in a resistive screen? I know it has IR technology, not resistive lcd, but it is good to know...
I have a screen protector, because I have cats and dogs who're lurking around my nook, and I'd hate to see them scratch the screen. I'm not using any case for it. The film does not affect the touch sensitivity in any way...
thanks for the info, emarusceac.
I can see dogs and cats and stuff being a problem. I just have an old NC sleeve laying around that works. If you can stand the wait, ebay is cheap Turns out the NC and NST width is the same...
emarusceac,
what sort of screen protector are you using?
Hi mh127,
I'm using a basic anti-glare screen film from ebay.
The nst is the first touch screen I have not used one on.
It is perfect now, the matte should hide small scratches, it gets used more lightly than phones/tablets, it is light (less damage if dropped), and it is cheap!
I am going to buy one.
I must warn you that it's VERY hard to apply it smoothly. I mean you'll get some air pouches caused by small particles, those bubbles won't go away no matter what you do. I prefer bubbles to permanent scratches though....

I ordered one. Was concerned that it would be tough to apply because of the high frame around the screen. Any tips how to apply well? You use a credit card to smooth the film down over the screen?
Oh one more thing. Has anyone tried removing one? Does it change or damage the screen in any way?
I have had several different screen protectors on my NST and none of them caused any damage when I removed them. I would note though that I have read that you must not apply a screen protector to the Glowlight, something about the built in screen protector and its light guide properties. I would also point out the one reason my NST has had multiple screen protectors is because they are so hard to apply without getting bubbles/lint between the screen and the film. The film I have on now I finally got applied without any bubbles/lint in the reading area, so it will hopefully be on there for a while. Make sure you are working in a CLEAN area and take great pains to get it lined up straight before actually applying it to the screen.
The NST doesn't need a screen protector, it really wont do much for the device, but if you really feel like spending the money for it go ahead.
The NSTG already has a protector built in, putting an extra one on would be like putting on an extra pair of latex gloves. It'll offer a little more protection, but it can get to be quite frustrating in terms of lost control. It's advised not to bother with a protector for the NSTG.
Personally unless you know you're going to have your NST in reach of creatures with claws, or lose objects with sharp edges the protective screen will do little for you. Even in those cases it's possible the screen would merely lessen the damage done rather than prevent it out right.
In regards to the NSTG and it's pre-installed screen protector, has anyone actually removed it? I've read lots of reports of people complaining about minor scratches and finger pressure marks causing the light to become very strong on those parts, wondering if removing the screen protector would fix that or whether it's instead a problem with the screen.

They claim there is one, I claim they lie as there is no visible edge of one. If there was you wouldn't get the light flares from minor scratches. Adding one may protect the screen but no idea what it would do to the light guide properties of the screen. If you ever have to remove it I'd worry what would happen to the light guide layer.
Because gadgets capabilities/sppecs increase rapidly & prices drop fast too, unless it's expensive I forget about screen protectors if the device is cheapish (got mine cheap) & if it will be outdated in a couple of years. Specially if it's not an outdoor device like my phone. Or if the protector hampers speed / functionality to some degree. Also personally I rarely scratch tab screens unless it's a phone, my phones/tabs all have protectors put on from day one, but not doing my NTSG. YMMV.
In the last couple of months I've already bought 2 screen protectors and both of them eventually "failed". I installed the first one and in the SAME day some water droplets fell on the screen and somehow went below the screen protector and created this huge rainbow-ish circle in the middle of the screen. The second one, that I just installed last weekend, had some dust or hair or something like that I suppose under the glass so I tried removing it, just guess what happened. Broken screen protector, so I'm trying to figure out if the problem is me, if I'm just unable to get it right and there's always something under the glass or it is impossible to get 100% right unless you're a machine.
I'd like to know what's your situation guys, what type of screen protector you're using and if you applied it yourself and how's it working for you or if you're still with the default one which was perfectly applied god I wish that lasted longer...
P.S: I've thought about plastic protectors instead of glass ones but if I can't apply a glass screen protector without dust under it I can't even imagine a plastic one.

I applied a Skinomi shortly after receiving my op5. It's been on for almost a full year and still looks as good as it did in the pix I posted here.. Application was extremely easy.
Had the Duo since Friday...love it...or should I say loved it. Got the hang of the software, and for me it was awesome and had fun....UNTIL..I attempted to put the Zagg screen protector on it.. Heard it was horrible installation process, but got the first screen protector out of 4 on perfect...cleaned the second screen, and found the entire screen covered in scratches...thought there was a plastic screen protector on it or something, but couldnt peel anything off. The scratches came out of no where...had it for 3 days, bumper installed day one, no drops, no scuffs...it was treated like a baby...WTF??? Guess its going back...never thought I would have to send it back because its damaging itself opening and closing apparently.
cleaned the screens to install the Zagg glass screen protector I purchased from Best Buy. Cleaned the first screen, no problems and installed the screen protector. Everyone was saying that the Zagg was horrible to install. I installed it perfect on the first screen. Started to prep the second screen on the left...cleaned it with the Zagg supplied wipes, and saw all the scratches on the screen before I installed the screen protector. The scratches were so bad, I thought the DUO came installed with a cheap plastic screen protector...but it doesnt..
the scratches on the left screen is what is concerning. Looks like its from opening and closing the phone, cant think of anything else that would cause it.

Those scratches do not appear to be from opening and closing unless the hinge is (really) wobbly, they look like they are from having some sort of dirt or grit on something and trying to wipe the screen with it.
Might check I saw a reddit of people having issues with the screen shorting out too...I would check on if anyone else is getting scratches too?
Any chance your leaving is folded back?
Have you reached out to MS yet? So far for me they are terrible and take a day plus to answer though social media.
Honestly these have the classic Clean with dirty cloth scratching. Like there was a small piece of sand on the screen or cloth when it was cleaned. Those are not in anyway caused by the screen rubbing, the screen can't do that to itself.
Honestly loved the device but whoever decided to put glass on the front back was a huge mistake. Damn thing fell out of my pocket while sitting in a normal height chair and the whole back is cracked. Very disappointed in how fragile this device is. Dropped my other devices numerous times over the years from standing and never one problem. All this took was one short drop
Sounds like someone has an issue with dropping phones. It's not surprising that if you drop a device this thin that's glass front and back, it might break. Just the luck of the bounce.
