Same here. Both on until I find a worthy screen protector.

Have a crappy cheap screen protector on the front and I tried to keep the back one on till my BSE or Xtremeskin comes, but it came off by itself. Worried about scratches, but so far it's pristine..

It would be awesome if the factory protector didn't have the volume and power icons on it. It's holding up pretty well and the screen still looks beautiful

Both on, as well as the tpu case from my galaxy nexus, which actually fits pretty well and does a good enough job until a proper one comes in the post...
Camera obscured though!

Do you have scratches on your Corning glass

I am debating whether to use a screen protector....
No, not a single one. And I use my N7 on a daily basis (since mid July) without a screen protector.
Just get good cover for the N7 (LuvTab, Poetic, etc.) and you'll be perfectly fine.
No, but I am pretty careful with it. My phone has gorilla glass and I have a scratch on that. It aint scratch proof.
Some fine scratches that are only noticeable when the screen is off and at an angle, so nothing to worry about too much. I refuse to use protection

Had a screen protector on, looked terrible. Now I'm using it naked, but with a pouch.
No scratches yet,it's been several weeks.
I don't know but I actually prefer the look of my screen with a matte SP on. I also love the feel and the lack of fingerprints. My N7 was stolen yesterday and I bought a new one. I had a SGP Matte Ultra Fine protector on it and it is sorely missed after using the stock glass.
The fingerprints are the worst and I hate how after playing a game with a D-pad for a few, the area under your thumb starts to get tacky and hard to slide. I'm having to constantly wipe it down. I'm putting another one on there ASAP.

The glass material of the screen seems to be reliable.
My N7 previously has a AG screen-protector, but then I removed it So far there are no scratches, but probably because it is protected by a case with smart cover.
If being afraid of any scratches that N7 may have, I would suggest an AR screen-protector. Try it.
No scratches on mine. It was also over a full month before I purchased a case.
What can you do to get rid of scratches if you get them or can you?

Cheapo screen protector on the front, stock protector that comes with it on the back and s-line tpu case. Eventually will be installing my ArmorSuit full body protection hopefully with some kind of bumper.
Still have the factory screen protectors on mine, even though I've had it for 2 weeks Lol. Haven't found time to put my BestSkinEver on it yet.

I got an XtremeGuard on the back and a Skinomi on the front with the Google bumper. I am waiting if Tech21 will put out a D30 bumper for the N4. If so, I'll be all over that.

Is a screen protector necessary?

I got this tablet for Christmas. I was curious if a screen protector is truly needed since a tablet doesnt go through the same abuse as a phone.

I use screen protectors on all my devices. After applying the screen protector to my tf300t, I can tell no noticeable change in touch screen response.
Over time, no matter how much you try and baby the device, the screen will accumulate scratches. A screen protector is a good investment IMO.

for the price they are in englant £3 for 2 its a no brainer, put on well you will never notice its on , thats untill you scratch it , scratch the screen itself the scratch can not be removed remember we dont have gorrila glass
I don't use a screen protector. If I used a stylus frequently I might, but I almost exclusively use my finger. It's a lot easier not to realize there's some potentially damaging grit between a stylus and the screen. A lot less likely between your finger and the screen.
How long does a screen protector usually stay on?

They can last quite awhile. I've had them last on my phone for months.
Another thing as whether or not to use a screen protector, once you see the scratches starting to show up on the protector, you'll be glad that you applied one.

I have a very minor scratch on my tf300, happened only recently (after months of use). If I use a screen protector, will the scratch be more visible? (it is now only visible when the screen is off).

Have you ever turned the screen off and turned it so you can see light reflect off of it. I haven't seen a device yet that didn't accumulate fine scratches on the screen. Those fine scratches build up over a period of time and you will eventually start to notice them. Dust is gritty.
Also, for those once in a blue moon accidents, better to have one on than not. A screen protector is easy to replace. A glass screen is a whole different ball game.

there are also anti reflection protectors.
got one from amazon, it really reduced the reflections on my device therefore i would go for a protektor.

I have an OG samsung galaxy tab since the day of first sale which i guess is in the nighborhood of 2 or 3 years and i just windexed it, yes i use windex on the screen and always have, nor has it ever had a screen protector and it is mirror smooth with no visible scratch in any lighting angles. However this device doesnt have Gorilla Glass like that one so i may get a screeny.

Xtreme guard screen protector

Hi
Has any one use this screen protector?
I was about to buy it buy i noticed it did not have a front sensor opening, it only has one for camera.
Problem is i bought one before that covered the sensor and once a call came in the screen would not turn back on when i finished the call.
So please if any one has some experience with this one please share with me your experience. Thanks
Here is a video review by ctscloud, thank him. link below.

If i remember correctly my last phone had one of those on it for a while, and it had that awful screen door effect.It wasn't really noticeable on color but when you had a white background it could really drive you nuts. I ended up peeling it off in the end because it got on my nerves so bad when looking at web pages.Spend the extra cash and get a quality one. (XOskins, Skinomi, BSE, etc)
What is a "screen door" effect?
I ordered an XtremeGuard but haven't received it yet.

But basically you can see like little squares in the phone screen like a screen door.
You see the fine line separating the pixels.

Thanks for the pik bro. Let me know how it turns out. If u get screen effect.

I bought a series of them, but they are the most disappointing screen protectors ever. I'm quite experienced in applying screen protectors and didn't have any trouble applying these protectors, but every single time the top left corner detached from the screen after ~2 weeks. Furthermore: the feel is extremely "plasticcy", and after removing the protectors I noticed that the screen gets a lot less responsive to touch when they're on.
My advice: stay away from the Xtreme guard protectors!
I just installed it last night. I don't like it. Finger don't slide smoothly, kind of sticking to the screen.
Fit is pretty good, and its matte finish. But I can't use it, feels no good.
i have no problems with mine. All of the cuts are perfect and it looks clean imo. I got the full coverage for 3 bucks during a special 70% off sale.
though they are cheap you don't get much but just the screens in the mail. (You get what you paid for)
what i did to install it was i had left over Zagg solution from a previous phone and applied it to the screen.
then i used a hair blow dryer while using a squeegee to remove all the water from under the screen.

I installed it last night. Just after installed, it got an incredible orange peel effect, however in the instructions it says to wait at least 8hs dry before turning the phone on. So I led it off all the night and this morning most of that effect disappeared. It still has some bubbles (not with air, I think is water, is what caused the orange peel effect before, just that now they are far from each other). So, I will wait until tomorrow to see if this disappear before writing a verdict. If these bubbles do not disappear, I'm afraid I'll have to remove it.
The responsiveness of the screen didn't change.
The plasticity fell I guess will also disappear when the remaining bubbles disappear.
I'll keep you posted.

I've used these xtremeguards on my previous phones because they were cheap but I was never satisfied with them...meh
Bought the body kit that gives sp for the front and back and after a week I decided to go back to skinomi.
Looks like everyone has had trouble with them. Ill wait for his verdict and make my decision... Any ways thanks every one.

Just to keep you posted. After 24hs of having applied the protectors, the back one is almost perfect, with only 2 or 3 bubbles here and there, but they aren't too noticeable. The front protector have some more bubbles but definitely less than this morning.
The feeling is really plastic.
Overall, I think this will protect the screen, but it isn't good looking. I think I will keep it until I get the flip leather case that I ordered, then I will remove the front one (the one at the back doesn't bother me at all, so I'll keep that).
Will see, maybe for the time when I receive the case I already get used to it. :/

Same here. Really impressed with their protector. Not so much their case. In fact, I have a gash on the protector after it fell out of my jogging bottoms in my car and I shut the door on it at the same time. Am I glad I had one on.
Spigen Crystal Film. Love these protectors. They come in a 3 pack and feel great on the phone.

Are you using the clear or the matte one? I am using the matte one, usually I pick the clears, but wanted to try the matte.
I can see all the subpixels from the screen. Some kind of green pinkish haze over the screen, very vissible at a white background. Ordered the clears again. Nonetheless Iike feel of the matte protector and it gets less dirty too.
Nope, can't stand screen protectors. Have never used one on any of my phones and have never needed or regretted not having one.
