Ive used ZAGG.com products for several of my electronic devices and been very happy with them. I wanted to find out if any had a chance to install a zagg full body protection especially the screen guard on there new Galaxy Tablet. Does it effect the touch sensitivity at all? I bought mine and before it left the store I had the guys cut down an iPad screen guard to make sure I didnt scratch it up and I still havent taken the factory protector off the back either.. Any input is appreciated..
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
I always buy the zagg full body shield but I always end up taking off the screen protector. It really does make the screen feel to tacky. I am going to buy the shield but only for the back. I have it on my ipad and it works well but I'm going to pass on a screen protector. I wouldn't say it affects the sensitivity, it just doesn't feel good in your hands. The screen is so smooth without it and I want to keep that feeling. I take very good care of my gadgets. I've had my nexus since practically day one and I don't have one scratch on my screen (knock on wood!). So I'm goons go nude...from the front at least

I buy more than 7 zagg screens protect Every time better screen responses especialy on Omnia 1
I just got my dock and I noticed that there is very little space between the dock "slots" and the screen. If I install a screen protector (I already ordered one from Skinomi) do you think it will be too thick to use the dock? I am afraid the dock slots will push against the screen protector and smudge it or worse rip it.

I have the screen protector and the back skin.
Trust me, they will fit. It really isn't thick at all.
But, do be careful when you are installing them on the device. Use a lot of that water spray they give you. I think I saw a suggestion to dip the screen in a bath of water first. I used too little and had to redo it because the bubbles stayed. Now, the outer edge from where I re-peeled the protected doesn't stick to the device. It isn't too big to annoy me but it definitely doesn't look nice.
Because the screen is bigger on a tablet than on a phone, the application is just more frustrating to put on.
Oh, and just note that your screen will look like crap. It'll take a day or two to kick in.

I have one installed on my transformer. A few things about it.
1.) It does fit, makes sure to get the up part up. Look for the two holes for the camera. I screwed mine up and placed it on wrong, still works.
2.) The screen protector works very well with the dock, with out ripping or tearing. If you hold the tablet, you will see the edge of the screen is thinner then the area where the dock fully ends. This creates a impression in the screen protector where it is too snug. I have not notice any problems with it fitting in the dock, but it is snug enough to leave an impression.
3.) The quality of the shield is not up the same as bodyguardz or invisible shield. It has a tendency to dent and cut up pretty easy. Not insanely, but there is a difference between it and my phone, bodyguardz.
4.) The protector is very shiny and smooth. Which means you don't get the orange peel effect of the other protectors, but does not help viewing in sunlight.
5.) You need to makes sure you use ALL of the solution provided. It takes a lot more water and baby shampoo then the other protectors. Probably bigger screen and bigger protector, but I swear the sticky side is more sticky then the other protectors.
All and all I like the protector a lot. Even though it has a tendency to dent an damage easier then I would expect, I also will not abuse my tablet as much as my phone. I would buy it again, for the lifetime free replacements and price.
But in saying that for the same price and if they made them, bodyguardz and invisible shield are better, ie more durable, protectors.
I would give it an easy 8 out 10 points.

Well, the lifetime warrenty is a bit dubious since you have to return the old protector to prove that it was damaged through use and not through poor application. I think you also have to pay to shipping. It seems that it'll cost the same a buying a new protector. Plus if your screen did mess up, I'm not sure why I would want a replacement of the same item.
It's not as good as my phone's protector (forgot the company) but it's still decent. I definitely feel more at ease with the protector on.
I don't see how tearing through use (docking) wouldn't be covered.

actually, not true. i got some kind of film on my screen protector the first time i tried to install it. i took a picture of the protector and they sent me a new one in 3 days.
the funny thing is, my original order included BOTH a screen protector AND a carbon fiber skin. when i got my replacement in the mail there was a protector AND another skin! I think it was an oversight on their behalf. they just looked at my original order and replicated it.
so for the price of 1 screen protector and 1 skin i got 2 screen protectors (1 that i admittedly messed up) and 2 skins.
i should consider myself lucky (and skinomi a quality company).

Well, I guess that's good.
Did you still need to ship them back your old protector?
I guess they're more friendly in reality than their rules online. At any rate, I don't think I want to go through the hassle of reapplying it again anyway. (plus waiting for it to clear)

nope, i threw it away.
oh and another thing, all of our contact was via email. didn't even have to talk to a 'live' person.
I just received my Skinomi screen protector & didn't realized the installation was that involved. I guess I am just used to the screen protectors I have used with my PDA's & phones that just stuck to the screen on their own. Anyway I don't want to screw this up.
What is the purpose of the solution?
Is it an adhesive?
Does it aid in the installation in being to move the screen protect around to adjust its placement?
Well i came across a box while trying to help my wife wrap packages for the kids, tf101 32gb! Of course i won't let her know i saw it. So in anticipation i was looking at getting a few steps ahead. One is a screen saver, im looking at the Lexerd, i really don't like the idea of soaking the screen with fluid. Also recommendations for an sd card, i was looking at a 32gb card. I know not to buy off fleabay because of knock-offs. Looking forward to Xmas!

In my opinion, the only reason for a screen protector is for it's anti-glare properties (for the anti-glare models). I use one, just for that purpose - it also keeps the screen cleaner and allows your finger to slide alot better...
Personally, I opted for one of the more expensive anti-glare models for my Transformer and love it - it's the SGP Anti-Glare for the Transformer (Steinheil).
I forget what I paid, but remember it being expensive. Works great though.
I believe in screen protectors, i have plenty of scratches on my screen protector for my phone, a small investment will save the screen. Ill have to check out the other screen protector. Hopefully there will be some good deals on sd cards in the next week.

Its ironic really, because If you didn't have the protector you wouldn't have scratches... Atleast on devices with gorilla glass. Like the other guys have said, you can't scratch these screens, or rather you will have to go our of your way to try. The only need for screen pro is for anti glare, otherwise, all you are doing is paying for something that is vulnerable to being scratched. The cleanest, scratch free screens you will see will be on tfs that are neked.
But I understand your stance, you got to do what you feel is right. Have fun, I love this tablet, I know you will too.

I actually got a scratch on my screen and I have no idea how it got there. I am pretty careful with my devices. No scratches on the other non gorilla glass devices I own so I am not sure how this keeps happening. It is only on the bezel part so its no big deal to me. I'm thinking it was in my backpack and slipped out of its case and got scratched. Sand or small stones can scratch gorilla glass as I have seen a couple of abusive videos on youtube prove.
I also found a scratch on my Infuse 4g on the black bezel part so I am now in the mindset of screen protecting my current and future phone's and tablets even if they are gorrila glass.
Now if I could only find a screen protector that feels good and looks good to me. I want the same kind that they put on the xperia x10 phones. Any of the protectors I have tried since are horrible to me. I just end up ripping them off and ruining them.
Anyways, you got the best xmas gift you could have hoped for. That is until you get greedy like me and want a prime lol!
So you didn't get scratches on the screen, just the bezel...which isn't gorilla glass and there for not what we are taking about. Or you are mistaken at what the bezel part of the phone is. The bezel will get scratched, along with everything else that isn't gorilla glass, unless you get a full device wrap.
So for clarification, are you referring to the actual glass or the material around it?, which would be the bezel. because I would like to know what you did to scratch the screen of any device with gorilla glass... Perhaps tried cleaning it with a carbide coated shammy cloth lol.
Seriously though, I have yet to meet anyone who has damage there screen in a scenario that a screen protector would have saved it.
Sent from my Infuse... Love it!
Personally, I think scratches are more of a problem with phones since they are slipped into our pocket (with coins or keys, etc).... With a tablet, I would think that it would be pretty tough to scratch it, but I'm sure it could happen - Gorilla glass isn't indestructible!
Non-issue for me, since I use it for the anti-glare'ness, so I'm proteted just in case anyway, but that wasn't my goal....
The best screen protector!
I paid $150 for mine. It came with a keyboard and an extra battery. Joking aside. I must be one of the lucky ones who have never scratched their screen. It has fallen off the couch multiple times. I set my glasses on it all the time when it is undocked. The cats have walked across it. Still, nothing but finger smudges. Anti-glare would be nice though. Might look into one of those.
If whatever it is can scratch the Gorilla glass, it will go right through a screen protector. Other than glare, I see no reason for a screen protector on the TF. Search for Gorilla glass here and see some of the videos on things people have done to their TF screen without damage.
First of all, welcome to the club! My TF has been a lot of fun to own, I can't really imagine not having a tablet at this point.
Secondly, add me to the list of people who don't really believe in a screen protector for a tablet. My Transformer is never in a position where the screen is exposed when I'm not using it -- it's either closed up in the dock, or closed up in my Asus case.
I use these on my screen every day to remove smudges and dust: http://www.targus.com/us/productdetail.aspx?sku=TXA00212US (Around $8 for a pack of 3 ... I keep one in my bag, one at home, and one at work)
And for times when there's too much caked on the screen to be removed by those pads, I use a couple of Sight Savers cleaning pads (box of 50 is about $3 at Target) -- after dusting off the screen of course. Not a scratch on my baby!
Its a large screen and I have a protector on it. The screen protector is on there because it is a smudge resister type because the Transformer gets nasty quick. Not there are never any fingerprints... plus it protects the screen.

What you are really going to want is a case. Roocase available at Amazon for about $25.00 is an excellent accessory that keeps the screen protected and gives it a touch of class when carrying. It is also a nice stand. http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Multi..._1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1324114272&sr=1-1-catcorr I think you'll find you can do without the screen saver once you put it in a case.

Well, it all depends what you are looking for...
Have you ever tried an anti-glare or anti-fingerprint protector before though - again, the protection is really secondary, the real reason I use them is becuase they keep the screen clean and more importantly, they allow your finger to slide so much easier...
The last thing I want is an always-on case, especially since I have the dock - it's really it's own case... So, it all depends - but I'd highly recommend that you try an anti-glare protector before writing them off completely...
mine had a screen protector on it for like two days, i couldn't stand it, felt like i was touching gel, cost $14.99 at bestbuy and $10 for them to apply it. been using it without the screen protector since and it feels a lot nicer and smoother touching the screen.
no scratches here at all

I'm sure this wasn't an anti-glare protector though.. Sounds like a Zagg protector, which I never liked either....
Even with the anti-glare type, there are good ones, bad ones and horrible ones! I've had the best luck with the more expensive brands, but also found a model at 5 Below for my iPad 1 and they were great too (for $5!)... Then of course, is the really hard part - getting them on properly, with no bubbles or anything like that!
But, if all goes right, it really does make the touch-screen interface that much better...
Lol screen protectors are a waste on tf101, they, are also much softer a good therefore scratch much easier than the glass underneath.
Seems some are fooled into thinking that because their protector is scratched, those scratches would have been on the screen, which is nonsense

Same here, the screen is too valuable on the tab to get scratched imo ...
I've ordered this one for my SGS
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VWR2GO/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
The review I've read was saying it was pretty good, barely noticable, wich is a must considering a big plus on samsung's products are the screen.
I'll see if it's worthy, if it is, I'll order this one for the tab:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...TJV_2?ie=UTF8&m=A1E9T6XPH2ITJV&n=&s=&v=glance
(anyone has it already?)
I had one on originally, but got the newton rings and sent it back. I never bothered putting one on my new tab. I actually much prefer the feel of it without the screen protector. I have a case that covers the screen when I'm not using it, so I feel the risk of scratching is minimal. The protector just felt sort of rubbery, while the bare glass feels really smooth and slick. Could be the brand of screen protector. But I don't see much of a benefit of putting one on at this point.
But I do have 4 kids, so maybe you don't want take my advice on using supplemental protection...
Yep, don't feel right unless i do. I use a zagg from best buy, since they have never died on me.
Nope, I just use the official Samsung "book cover" case. Why would I want to cover such a sexy, smooth glass screen with a piece of plastic?
I did, and took it off weeks after. No matter what protector you use, it will diminish the quality of the screen. I tried the Zagg and BodyGuardz and when I took them off again, I realized that the screen is too sexy to be hindered. It's Gorilla Glass people; it doesn't scratch that easily. I have my tablet with a TPU case and I have no scratches so far. Just be careful where you put it and you're good to go.
I'm a huge fan of Matte finish anti-glare screen protectors. My tab is sporting one, so is my Galaxy S2...other protectors just get covered in fingerprints as well as not having one on... you should try it. Some people like them some don't... IMO best type of screen protectors.

I've had mine since they first day that Samsung sold the Tab and have never used a screen protector. Not a single scratch or mark on the screen.
Tablets are different than phones. Generally people chose a case that closes over the screen. It's not like you're going to put it in your pocket and get the screen scratched by your keys.
If your case doesn't close to cover the screen or you don't use a case all the time then it might be recommended to use a screen protector. Otherwise the only thing that should come in contact with the screen is your finger or a stylus. Unless, of course, you drop it.
I have had mine since launch with no screen protector and no scratches. It might be a question you have to ask yourself, as far as how much wear and tear will your tab see? It's not like a phone I keep in my pocket and carry everywhere (although I do take my tablet just about everywhere) that can get scratched by keys and the like.
+1 on matte protectors. Also, get a full body protector (sides and back are not scratch resistant!)
I, personally, can't stand the matte ones. It makes the screen look too grainy

I use a bookcase and screen protector. I usually take care of my electronics but somehow I managed to get some small scratches on my screen. I am not sure if they came from using my dagi stylus or from the cloth I use to wipe it with (dry booger perhaps). If you plan on using a stylus I would go for a screen protector. I am currently using one from Belkin but wouldn't really recommend it. I applied as pr instruction but it has an oily look to it. I spoke to their customer service and they said they would send me a new one but haven't received it yet (2 weeks).

I love matte ones but again the rainbow effect annoys me, so I found this SGP Ultra Fine - they advertise it as NO RAINBOW effects (link)
Does anyone here uses this and know it to be true or know if any other screen protectors do this?
I'm quite annoyed at the fact that the screen isn't oleophobic, attracts too many fingerprints !
Cheers
Never used them on SGS or Tab. Screens still look as good as new.

Nope... I have the Samsung case which protects the tablet well and as others have said it's Gorilla glass, so it doesn't scratch easily. The screen is too nice to cover it up.
I also don't have one on my sgs2 which is always in my pocket (nothing else in the same pocket) and it doesn't have any scratches after about 7 months.
I really question the use of cases and screen protectors for phones... In 2-3 years you are likely gonna change phones anyway... Why rob yourself of the smoother and better looking screen? So that it's still in good shape when you get rid of it? ? ? I'd rather enjoy the phone to it's full potential while I use it with the risk of getting scratches than keeping it in pristine shape for when it ends up in a drawer or in someone else's hands.

Many times 2-3 years is a longer time than I think is actual. More like 1-2.
But on point, because a device without scratches on on the screen can bring twice as much used than one with scratches.
Just my two cents.

corning glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof and not shatter proof.
the galaxy note has corning scratch resistant glass and yet many of us have managed to scratch it with the stylus that samsung included with the device.
so i would recommend using a screen protector if, like myself, you are easily annoyed by even the smallest scratches.
i already ordered 20 screen protectors from ebay, simply because i dont like having any air bubbles or dust underneath them. this way, if i screw up the first one, i have 19 more tries to get it right.
Quite simply....yes its necessary!

I'll be purchasing one when someone posts a good review on here of one they received
I hate screen protectors.
They never feel right to the touch and I can always see the edges which is annoying.
I've had several smartphones starting with the D1 when it was first released and other than the random very minor hairline scratch I've never had any issues with my screens.
Considering my N7 will never be pocketed (my phones live in my front pocket) there is even less of a chance of getting scratched.
This is just my personal preference.

Can't agree with you more. I used to have one for my Galaxy Nexus, but I hated how I could see the sides and air bubbles. I just took it off and it's been scratch-free for literally months. I also don't use a case with it, just goes in my pocket and it's been fine. Sure, the occasional finer smudge, but it's comes off. I'm also not going to bother with a screen protector for my Nexus 7. I have, however, ordered a case for it.
Thanks everyone. Now I'm off to ebay to buy some cheap ones....
the screen is the device PROTECT IT WELL
Skinomi or zag or any of the other brand name protectors work well. The cheap plastic ones will make your touch less precise and scratch easy. spend the money 10-15 dollars is not much to protech a 250.00 device. I have hand the skinomi protector on my iconia a500 since day one . the screen is beautiful and exactly as it was new.
now what about some type of slip on cover that has a build in two way kick stand that will rotate for horizontal and vertical positon.. I WOULD Love that. I do not want this tablet in a CASE. just would like a stand built into the back of it . Even one that would Stick on the back with maybe two sided tape or velcro. if done correctly..

I do not want this tablet in a CASE. just would like a stand built into the back of it . Even one that would Stick on the back with maybe two sided tape or velcro. if done correctly..

The thing I hate about buying expensive screen protectors is that $10+ easily adds up if you have to use several of them to finally get it right. I hate getting any dust or bubbles on the screen and that is usually difficult for me to get right the first time.
If you're looking for a very good screen protector I'd go with skinomi probably spelled that wrong or xo skin. Xo skin
looks the most invisible when its done drying but will lift up easily if you put it too close to the brezzle. Skinomi is also very good there just less forgiving if you mess up putting them on make sure to use lots of spay when applying. Don't get zagg after about two months of me owning it it has a yellow tent to it and there more expensive then the both I recommended. Whatever you decided make sure to look up online for coupons the usually have some you can use and that my two cents hope it helps out.

I usually hate using them as well. The feel is just never quite right and this screen glides wet. The only ones I ever considered are the ones that give you screen privacy as well.

I am on my 3rd http://www.skinomi.com/ screen protector since my iconia. they give you a 100% life time no questions asked warranty. I have kinda long sharp fingernails and i tend to touch it down there the middle far reaches of thumbs keyboard.
you fax them copy of your recept with reason you want it replaced and credit card number. they charge you a small shipping fee. i think 3.00 and in a few days you get a new one in the mail.. send the old one back in a STAMP envelope 44 cents .
They cost more but cheap and easy to get replaced . They come with special spray to put them on with and can be removed cleaned and reattached. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO BUBBLES NO CORNERS Coming up .And i use my tablet i would 3 hours a day. everyday if not more on days off work.
You Truly get what you pay for . I have heard same type of happy customers with Zag and a few of the others so i do NOT Want to make this all about the one i have . p THEY SHIP YOU THE NEW ONE FIRST. you ship old one back after you change it out. i paid i think 18.00 for the original one.
This is asked often.

Scratch Test: Does Your Phone Really Need A Screen Protector?
Had mine for under a week, already a fine scratch 4 cm long.
Screen protector means you can be rough with it
I learn from the mistakes of others. I have two friends who didn't use a screen protector on a Galaxy Note and a Galaxy S 2. Both got minor fine scratches that can only be seen if looked for. They're desk jockeys.
I work "in the field" often off-roading to get to my sites and my hands commonly get dirty from fine dust and sandy particles. There's no way I'd use my phone and Nexus 7 without a screen protector. If a desk jockey can get minor scratches imagine what a finger with fine dirt swiping across a screen will do.
So my lesson I learned: spend the money on a good screen protector if you're OCD about a perfect screen. Over the years I've learned how to apply wet screen protectors on so that they're not even noticable. (Zagg, Bodyguardz, and Skinomi). The trick is to apply a lot of solution to the sticky part.
I ordered a KaysCase Screen Protector. They are made for the device and fit perfectly. They are almost invisible and feel just like the glass itself. I got it on amazon along with my Aduro membrance case for my Gnex.
No screen protectors foe me, ever. I'd rather risk and/or deal with scratches than have a screen with a protector on it.

I don't have a screen protector on my Nexus and I've been fine. I'm careful enough, and if it happens to pick up a scratch or two as time goes on, that's alright. I'd rather not deal with the protectors, I like the screen the way it is.
I'm not 100% if screen protectors actually stop smart case covers from putting the nexus to sleep/awake, because it ever since I put a screen protector on, the sleep/awake function doesn't work effectively.
