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 don't use it for anything. Better response and better display. Just have to be careful.
Still Charged Up
Thats what i was thinking. I already baby the hell out it

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've never had scratches just appear on any device I've owned. My infuse and s2 never had a screen protecter not one scratch. Scratches don't just appear.

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.

Proximity sensor does not always work

While on call my screen does not come on when I want to end the call. I am on stock rooted.
Pls help thank you

Do u have a screen protector on your screen? My sensor didn't work right cause my screen protector was blocking my sensor. I now have one with a cutout for the sensor and it works fine.

They make them with cut outs so u can just buy another one if u want. I would suggest this http://www.bestskinsever.com/google-nexus-4-skin I use the case opriomized one and I got the full body one so I can use the back screen protector. I threw the side protectors out.

S4 and Otterbox

Anyone have strange issues with airview and cases?
I normally wouldn't use a screen protector but one came with the Otterbox commuter so I used it.
My airview seems to jump around with the case and screen protector.

Perhaps part of the case is sticking down to the screen protector covering the screen somewhere. Sounds to me like there is a section of the screen being held down and when you attempt to use the feature, it jolts and jumps around not knowing where you want it to move.
I noticed this issue with a couple of cases on my friends. I think it is the cover near the sensors. What they did was remove the screen protector near sensors area and widen up the sensor area if your case covers it.

Ya I may take the screen protector off. Don't really need it just need the protection from dropping it

I think it may have been the screen protector as I have removed it and works great now.

Screen protector problem

Hello! So i've bought a new screen protector and went to a proffesional to apply it. All good but i notice that after a few days this weird thing, some parts of the protector became whiter, as in white spots and lines and i can' t get rid of them by wiping no matter how hard i try. Now this protector has an anti glare coating and the guy said that it will worn off in time. So i'm really puzzled about this, what do you guys think?

Samsung Gave ME FAKE Gorilla Glass ? [PICTURES][

What do u think by seeing this glass ?
i have bought brand new Galaxy S5 and this is the result. i think samsung provided me fake gorila glass?
What exactly are we looking at? The yellow tint that is your screen
I believe the OP is talking about the scratch at the mid - bottom of the screen, or what?

Can't you take it direct to Samsung?

Definitely looks like the screen protector is causing it. Can you remove the screen protector and see if that removes the tint?

Looks like a protector is on. You should remove it and check.
Indeed. It's just the factory applied protector is coming away isn't it? Hard to tell from those pics with all the reflection. Down on a flat table would have been easier to see

There is definately a screen protector applied, just look near the sensors around the screen you can see the parts where thers is air under the protector :silly::silly:

No brother , I have not put any screen protector.
that is not bubble , that is coating fade away .
So sad I have got manufacturer defected phone.
It REALLY looks like some kind of protective film. Are you sure it's not? I've never heard of "coating fading away" before.
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
I do not see anything remotely looking like a screen protector or anything like that, that said, it is just an unfortunate production malfunction which can always happen and so obvious you don't have to worry about it and can just return it to get a replacement. I do not really see the need for a whole thread on such a problem.
Would I feel bummed out about it, of course, but these things happen and are easily solved. Thread closed?
