I was thinking about getting one but at 17 bucks I was hesitant. Does it actually make a difference? I'd only want it if it makes reading in sunlight pretty bearable.
The display model in the store by me had one on.
It looked like it did a good job of cutting down the glare- and would be good for reading outside.
I bought one but haven't put it on yet...
Bought the screen protectors. They work well, cut down a lot of the glare, not just from outside light but inadvertent glare from other light sources as well. Use some windex, just a few drops on the screen itself and a few on the sticky side and it goes on very easy, bubbles are easy to get out. Let it sit over night to cure and you should be happy with it. BTW there wasn't an alternative at the time, as soon as stealthguards comes out with theirs I will buy that one.
Same here, I bought the one at Barnes and Noble and it has been working great. I actually read 10-15 pages outside yesterday in the sunlight with lots of snow reflecting light. I had the brightness up all the way but I could read everything just fine
Picked them up also. It does a pretty good job cutting down the glare and lessing the finger prints on the screen.
Also just an FYI: B&N will install it for you at no charge when you buy it. If they mess up the installation they will replace the protectors (there are 2 in each pack), at least that is what I was told by the employee who put mine on.
Have the B&N anti glare protector. Makes the screen a tiny bit darker & on solid white screen I see a very slight effect on the quality. It's a slight sparkle effect, but I have to emphasize slight. hat's with brightness almost at min. Reminds me of the Pandigital Novel screen, but not as severe. That said, I am leaving mine on for protection & because I like the more slippery feel compared to a naked screen. BTW Not all protectors have the same feel. I had a Zagg IS protector on my phone & it had a more rubbery, sticky feel. Not very conducive to finger sliding. The B&N feels much harder.
Cheers,
kev
i have them as well. if you don't prefer a matte type finish, don't get it. but it does cut down on glare.
I also have the B&N screen protector and I couldn't imagine using my nook without it. I see a ton of fingerprints on the screen that make me glad I have the protector. Its not too sticky either, my finger hardly meets any resistance. However, I immediately applied the protector after unboxing my nook so I don't know what the original screen felt like.
I bought a 3 pack of anti glare on eBay for about $12 shipped.
Works like it should and install is easy =]
I bought a $6 one on ebay and it blows. I'm sure it is partly my fault for not putting it on right. Anyway, will probably suck it up and go to B&N and have them put it on.

link? how are they? does your finger glide nice?
Quick question about the B&N Anti glare screens - others i have used, really blur the screen; do the B&N ones have any major loss of sharpness? With this beautiful screen, i would love to protect it without hindering it..
Unfortunately that's the nature of anti-glare. For me it's just as sharp. The decrease is in colour vibrancy.
I usually get these protectors on flea-bay but i caved in and bought it @ the store & had them install it as well... Best $16 i've spent.. . i still have one left over form the 2 pack...
You also get a nice little black microfibre cloth with an 'n' logo on it....
I went to B&N today and picked up the Anti Glare and the Easel case. I just applied it today and I'm really happy with the application. I normally suck so much with screen protectors and I always apply them diagonally for some reason. But this time it went on right as rain cept for a few rather tiny hairs that I assume are from my dog XD
The matte effect keeps the screen much cleaner and it's really not bad at all. I personally prefer matte over glossy on a device that I'm not doing any image editting so a total A+ buy for me.
So far though seeing as I got the Nook Color by returning a gift and then paying 20 bucks. I've spent about 76 dollars for this NC. 16 for the Screen protector, 40 for the case and the original 20, the accessories are rather steep... I have a feeling that this was B&N's business model though XD
I'll probably pick them up next week when I'm back at school (My major buildings is connected to a b&n)
I wasa sceptic about the screen protector b hut itg was worth every penny just to get rid of the finger prints on the screen. I thought thatI would give up on the nook but the anti glare j protector has me soldI agree Best $16 dollarso have ever spent on an accessory.

I was looking to pick up some Screen Protectors for my Tilt and I noticed there are normal ones, and others that specify Anti Glare.
I was just wondering, do the Anti Glare ones make a noticeable differance when used in Daylight? I was using the GPS the other day in the car and I could see the screen but it does get pretty washed out when the sun is low.
Yes They Do
I have an anti glare type screen protector on my Garmin iQue M4. Works pretty well. Big difference between that and a clear protector.
I plan on ordering one for my Tytn II this week. Check out Pocket PC Techs. I think the website is PPCtechs.com or something. Much better than the Body Guardz I tried before.
the anti glare ones are dull in finish (usually) and take away from the great screen that the Tilt was given. I use the crystal clear protectors because I get the same clarity as if it was not there. Also, it protects the touchscreen from key scratches, banks, dings....

I figured the matte finish would cut back on the Picture Quality a bit, but the anti glare ones seem to go on like a static cling window decal. You can remove, wash, and reuse them over and over. That being the case, I would probably only use it when I am going on road trips and I know I will need the GPS.
I am going to get some normal ones as well for everyday use.

I think it's boxwave that will sell you 1 of each. AS for the whole wash and put it back on, I've never got them to do that. Usually by the time I'm ready to wash it, it's so worn out in the upper right corner or where the "s" or "a' keys on the pop up keyboard is, I usually replace instead of wash...
I've got both the high gloss and anti-glare protectors from Javoscreen. I purchased them for about 10 each on amazon. They fit perfect and seem to do an amazing job. I ordered the wrong size of each accidently the first time, which was OK because it gave me practice in getting this things on. If you actually do what the very brief instructions say, they go on to where you honestly have no idea anything was done at all.
They win my vote!
I recommend The Ultra-Clear Screen Protector from www.pdair.com (and while you are at it, get one of their cases as they are nice and allow you to use the keyboard in the case). I've been a very happy customer of theirs (free shipping from China) and have used their case and screen protectors on my 8125 (wizard). The screen protector lasts about 4 to 6 months for me.
I just put an order in with them for a new case and screen protector for an AT&T Tilt as I'm soon to be joining you guys (Tilt is on backorder though so having to wait...).

I've used the Boxwave crystal-clear protectors on all my last devices, with the Tilt/Kaiser I decided to try the anti-glare version from Boxwave instead. I wish I had stuck with the crystal-clear, they are MUCH nicer. I do like the feel of the textured anti-glare, but I see no significant glare improvement and the loss of clarity is obvious. I'd trade some clarity for glare reduction but trading clarity for nothing is the pits
Re: washing and re-applying. BTDT - it's a ROYAL pain. Oh the wash and re-apply is easy enough, but getting the protector clean enough that there are no spots left onscreen is [email protected] near impossible in my experience.

Best bet would probably be to rinse it with distilled water or saline (contact lense solution would probably work for that matter) and then dry it with a microfiber cloth.
I have the anti-glare from Boxwave....and I have polarized sunglasses. If there is light is at all on the screen (not the backlight) whilst I am driving, i can't see a thing on the screen. Even with the backlight on full.
I think I'll switch to the clear ones.
I picked up a 3 pack of these:
http://www.handhelditems.com/samsun...atte-finishing-screen-protector-p-151910.html
So far it's really nice - easy to apply without bubbles, cut out for webcam/light sensor, and a nice anti-glare finish with a good texture to it.
-Dan
Thanks for the link Dan. These look nice and good price too.
Do you notice if they add any delay or stutter to the touch sensitive actions (scrolling, typing, etc)?
It's been awhile since I've used a screen protector, but fingerprints just seem so much more visible on the Tab.

Great find man. Just ordered one myself.
most important info for me would be how "tacky" it feels. I just love the smooth gliding that occurs with the naked glass and have yet to find a screen protector even half as smooth. Who knows, maybe I just have spiderman hands.
Ordered one too. I hope they go on with static vs. wet....

Awesome find! A quick check on retailmenot.com found a coupon code galaxytab20 for 20% off these. Site says this code was supposed to have expired on 11/30, but I am still seeing the discount right now. They have a good deal on both the clear and matte, so picking up a 3 pack of each.
The coupon knocks off the shipping costs pretty much, bringing the total to just under $18. Not bad for six sheets, if you ask me. T-mo sells ONE for $15, haha.
My only problem is fingerprints.
Tell me, does any of these screen protectors really, really work?
I'm very skeptic.
Nice find on the coupon code stefvan2k1!
The feel on these is nice.. I feel that there's less drag with the slight texture on these than on the glass alone (maybe it's just my most hands )
There's definitely a reduction in finger prints with one of these on, I was wiping my screen constantly before and hardly do now.

I just order 12 non-glare ones and 2 silicone cases. I have the expensive anti-glare protector that I got at T-Mobile and AT&T (Casemate) and the non-glare is awesome, I hardly ever wipe the screen the screen.
Thank for the coupon code!
Holy ****, they want $20 to ship a 3-pack from California to Vancouver Canada via USPS. To put that in context, Phantomskinz charged me $2.75 to ship a similar sized full body appliqué from Phoenix. Or to further put it in perspective, Zenus charged me less to ship my Color Edge case, from freaking Korea.
They ain't getting my business, they're running the old "shipping charge for profit" scam.

the anti-glare is ok but i've had a anti glare on my ipad since the beginning and the tab looks amazing with it being clear. Good thing to buy extra since it is annoying when dust or any thing get on the tab while installing and tape and patience isn't enough lol
alignment on the top and bottoms aren't perfect but if u eye it right you can give enough spacing on each side at least the corners are round and not jagged and with a gel case on the back that wraps to the front, it covers up the extra 2mm or less that the protector doesn't fully cover.
all in all for the price well worth it.
I would like to try these.... but I am picky about my protectors and cases... I assume they are decent? The low price scares me, hahaha.... so that being said, if I am going to order that case and screen protectors....
I might get something for my samsung focus off that site also? Any suggestions for the same combo but smaller?
The Galaxy Tab screen is Gorilla Glass, do you really need a screen protector? I imagine any force that would scratch or chip GG is going to tear a plastic screen protector.

It's not really for protection, but rather to cut glare and fingerprints/smudging.

Can't believe AT&T dares selling theirs at $29..........
Gorilla Glass can be scratched. Some people have attested to that. BEcause it isnt indestructable, I prefer to use a protector. I got an Amzer protector from Anazon that is truly anti glare and def leaves no prints... but I will admit I prefer the feel and clarity of glass
I got my Galaxy Tab with SGP Ultra Oleophobic Clear type screen protector.
I didn't go for those anti-glare/finger print MATTE type protector, because to me they actually degrading
the screen sharpness, brightness and also color quality, which also mean degrading your overall
viewing pleasure that not only on Galalxy Tab but also on any devices.
Tested matte protector before on my old cellphones in the past years, they only making me frustrate,
low on mood or feeling regrets whenever I used my cellphones to watch video, pictures and even on phone idling screen.
You know, just like the LED/LCD or Plasma TV nowaday they're all on glossy surface which reproduces great sharpness, color and brightness.
All in all glossy surface = Great screen/picture/video quality.
Fingerprint, oily screen? Not a problem to me. Just wipe it more often.
It is still much better than keep felling frustrate with low screen quality everytime.
Thanks for the link. Just got my galaxy tab today and already have lots of fingerprints and see glare as an issue. I also think the slightly textured, antiglare films are better to the touch but sometimes degrade the screens sharpness a bit. I think it's worth the tradeoff though.
Oh and the coupon code galaxytab20 also worked for me. I paid 13.94 for a 3 pack with 3-5 day shipping.
Dear All,
Did anyone purchase and install a Skinomi screen protector on their Nexus 7 yet? What is the general opinion on the Skinomi Techskin screen protector? Your comments are highly regarded as I'm thinking which wet screen protector to purchase for my Nexus 7.
Thanks.
I personally do not like Skinomi. they damage and bruise easily in my opinion. For the price you pay the quality degrades quick. Bruising occurs more frequently in wet screen protectors I buy.
My skinomi just arrived today and best buy installed it perfectly for free. I'm letting it sit for a day until I use it. I'll keep you updated.

Got pictures?
I installed the carbon-fiber one on my N7; first time installing a skin type cover and wet screen protector.
Getting everything lined up was a pain for the skin itself. Had to pull it up and recenter several times, and still didn't get it perfect as I had hoped.
You use a heat gun/hairdryer to "seal" it to the device, so it doesn't peel off after you've installed it.
I don't worry about sitting my N7 down on tables/chairs now, as there's no chance to accidentally scratch the back.
The screen protector went on without an issue, just take your time and keep your fingertips wet with solution. Watch their instructional youtube videos before trying.
The resilience/self healing of the screen protector seems poor. Scrape your fingernail into it, and the mark is there forever, but it's only noticeable when the screen is off.
The protector finger/slide feel is better than dry protectors I've used, but it's not like naked glass.
The viewing quality of the screen doesn't seem impaired at all by the protector. No weird off-angle reflection or rainbow effects, or texture while the screen is on.
IMO it works, but is overpriced for what you get.
Still waiting on my Skinomi Carbon with Protector...how long did it take for you? How is the 'gripiness' of the carbon? I like the stock rubbery feel and don't want to drop it.
Thanks
RF
my skinomi should arrive any day now. will post review n pic sometime this weekend i suppose.
and remember, code get25 will get u 25% off. $20 for both nexus and RAZR protector including shipping n tax? i dig it.
I let mine sit for about 30 hours and then took a look at it. The bottom right corner is BARELY too long and hangs over the edge a little bit. Everywhere else fits perfectly, so I know it's a problem with the protector. It goes to the edge everywhere else. I'll power it on in the morning. $12 with one day shipping with Amazon Prime and I think it's worth it. I put my TPU case on it and don't notice the corner. I'll let you know if it peels back.

Gripness is poor compared to the glorious naked back of the N7, which is the best I've felt on a tablet. Slippery even though it's textured. Disappointing, but seems protective against surface scratches.
Took probably 45 mins to install skin and screen protector.

The edges haven't peeled up anymore. Screen is clear and looks good. However, after using the Zagg on my Galaxy Nexus, the Skinomi on my nexus 7 is like using flypaper. I HATE the feel of it. I'm sure it'll improve over time, but it's not even close to the quality of my Zagg. If I had to choose again, I'd choose Zagg.

Installed Skimoni on my Nexus 7 2 weeks ago, love it, easy to install, screen was not responsive for a few hours after installation but now everything is ok.
I've been using a Skinomi for a couple weeks and I think it's good. I decided to go with just a screen protector rather than a case. Most of the cases I've seen make the N7 too thick in my opinion.
The screen protector went on easily enough. I did get a bit of dust under the screen protector near the right edge that I notice every time I look at my N7. I agree that the screen protector takes away from the great feel of the naked screen but since the screen isn't gorilla glass, I think it needs something to protect it.

just installed it last night. this morning it looks glorious.
First thoughts:
- less than 15 minutes to install. just make sure u follow the video instructions EXACTLY. when it asks u to put water on ur hand, u ask, how much? when it want u to pick up the protector, u ask, how slow should i move? For a first time user with wet installation, that was a walk in a park. clean device. spray fingers. spray protector. peel. spray protector again. stick. slide. remove bubble. pat to dry.
- there are smudges and micro bubbles, but by morning they're all gone. don't worry.
- the smoothness feeling is different, the skinomi feels a little more "sticky", especially if u put pressure. but if ur a light-touch user, it's just as smooth.
- under reflection, i can almost see why it's called "orange peel texture", but i could not feel it in my hand. a bit "sticky" but nowhere near "rough".
- it's somewhat fingerprint resistant, but not 100% smudge-resistant.
- the skin feels a bit "soft", so scratching it with ur nail or keys will leave a mark, but u can't feel that mark at all and it seems to disappear after awhile.
- clarity is top-notch. i could not find any difference in color or brightness when i test it with a couple 1080p movies (Lorax for color, Wall-E for darker environment)
- size/cut quality, however, is the only "not perfect" score. it's a tiny bit smaller than my nexus (about 1, maybe 1.5mm at most) so the edges where the screen protector ends, and fairly *thick*, so it is a bit "sharp" (u can feel this when u slide down the notification from outside the protector into the screen) and it does attract dust in the corners.
overall, very happy. not incredibly happy or anything (abit thick and soft and sticky from what i expected), but it's clear, protects, and barely noticeable.
will take pic later...
I give it a 7/10. I got the Black Carbon kit. Skinomi is the only mfg that I can find, that also covers the bottom part of the silver bezel. I wish they included 4 more strips for the top half of the bezel. The Carbon back could probably be about 1mm longer in length. If you line up the speaker cut out perfectly (equal distance all around the perimeter of the speaker), the bottom microphone hole gets covered. I had to "cheat" the skin down so the edge of the speaker cut out on top, was right at the edge of the speaker. That left about 1mm of space at the bottom of the speaker where you can see the dimpled rubber stock back. This also leaves about 1mm of space on the top, near the Micro USB, where you can see the stock back. But this does line all the mic holes up and it is flush at the bottom. You *really* have to look hard to see this, so 9/10. The side pieces look fine, although around the POGO Plug takes some fiddling.
The screen protector it a "soft type" (I call the rubbery/vinyl type soft, and the plastic type hard). I have a Seidio "hard" type on my Nexus S, and love it. It doesn't have a mark on it after 2 years and looks like glass with the screen off and light reflected off it. This screen protector has very slight "orange Peel" and also what look like "crease marks" all over it. You can only see these with the screen off and looking at reflected light, with the screen on, it is perfect. It does scuff. I like that it had actual cut outs for both the camera and flash. Install was fine (steamy bathroom and latex gloves), no bubbles and imperfections do disappear after 24 hours and fit is perfect. 8/10.
These are all niggles, I'll be leaving it on.
After having mine on to about a week, my screen has started losing responsiveness until I reboot. Probably a rogue app, but it makes me wonder.

I've had one on for a few weeks now. I have to say I'm not a huge fan. I would describe the texture as gummy and it has made my tablet less pleasant to use. I'm probably going to switch it out for the default screen protector that comes with otterbox I intend to purchase. I've had a much better experience with those on a couple of other devices.

i agree. gummy is a better word to describe it. i was going with "soft and sticky" :silly:
but for me it's not overly gummy, and the "gummy-ness" does protect from finger prints and scratches. it does leave a mark but it "heals" up pretty well.
also, just realized that i kind of missed the center abit, so the space on the left is a bit larger than the right, and the bottom right corner kinda lift up abit. completely fine, but being a perfectionist with screen protectors, i feel like i have to redo it.....
anybody can comment on redo-ing a Skinomi?

Flash??? i didnt kno Nexus7 has flash!
Cant you just contact them for a free replacement if you messed up? I think I read somewhere that they do that.
I know most screen protector manufacturers allow that.
I just ordered a screen protector (no back protection, not a fan of the fake carbon/aluminum stuff) for $12 after shipping. Found a 25% off coupon online, it was "get25" I think.
I've used both dry and wet application type protectors in the past. And yea, the dry ones always feel better, but I still prefer the wet ones because its easier to get a perfect fit.
If you're good any fitting screen protectors perfectly or just dont care that it might be slighhttly off, then go for a dry application one.
I personally cant stand if the edge of the protector isnt parallel to the edge of the screen, or if the spacing on the edges are uneven lol. So I go for wet ones.
yup. just saw FAQ that it's easy to remove, wash, and re-apply. guess that's what i'll be doing when i get home
(maybe this time i'll take pictures... lol)

If we talking about really light weight protection then only ones are film protectors.
Example
I use similar (only clear style at another seller) on my all items. Yes, they are not cheap, but your item looks like original and same time protected. Also covered my phones. Only thing that i use anti-glare screen protectors.
I hate other covers because then i have on my hand some cheap piece plastic, not item itself.
But this is only opinion.

Has anyone used those ArmorSuits? I am looking to get a screen protector and thought that the caseen looked decent (saw them on another thread.
Any recommendations for a good screen protector?
About ArmorSuit i cant talk right now but i use Skinomi TechSkin on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and both phones. Wonderful! You can try to scratch it with nail with normal pressure. Yes you get scratch line but on next day its gone. Its not sticky or sleek. You feel your item very good and safe on hand(s).
I never used these screen protectors which ones was included on Skinomi TechSkin.
Screen protectors i used all time only anti-glare at PDair, EXiM and CitiGeeks. Bestest are still PDair ones (right now on both my phones). CitiGeeks anti-glare is right now on my Galaxy Tab. Yes i have some scratches on it and seems i need replace it soon, but its normal. No some anomaly with these screen protectors. All these you can remove any time, just wash with water and soap and attach back, if some corner started lift away.
For Nook HD+ i ordered Fosmon anti-glare. I hope they will be on place tomorrow and then i can say what kind of these are.
I got Fosmon anti-glare screen protector today. Applied. Like other screen protectors. All is OK. No anomalies and touch sensitivity is good. But ...
I placed my Samsung SGS2 with PDAir anti-glare screen protector, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with CitiGeeks anti-glare screen protector and Nook HD+ with Fosmon anti-glare screen protector to table. And surprise surprise ... guess what ... there huge difference on look. Best is PDAir screen protector, then comes CitiGeeks, then Fosmon. Actually this Fosmon feels under finger roughly. Cheap is cheap.
Later today, when i will be at home, i can place EXiM to this sequence too (its applied to my son laptop).
But anyway, this is only my opinion that makes this list and result that: "I'm not so rich to buy cheap things!"
I bought XtremeGuard LCD FULL BODY off ebay. 4 days with it and so far so good. It is a 2 piece clear product. Its a wet application which went on 99% perfect. There 2 specks of dust on my screen. It was my fault and the back went on perfectly. I don't want to add more weight unless someone makes a tight fitting flat matte slim cover.

Thanks about good find. I certainly order this and test.

Has anyone used those ArmorSuits? I am looking to get a screen protector and thought that the caseen looked decent (saw them on another thread.
Any recommendations for a good screen protector?

I used caseen anti glare, decent but you could see some pixelation. Went on well, good color. I think since pixel density is so high on nook that some matte surfaces may not work so well. Have a b&n smooth saver on now, but a little sticky to my stylus...the search goes on

The caseen's are decent, but are a pain to put on (I am horrendously clumsy so always end up with some dust/misalignment/whatever). Will try the full body one recommended above.

I actually ordered for testing today XtremeGuard full body for my SGS2.
Find XtremeGuard on ebay and look their attached video. Whatever film or screen protector you use, you can apply it this way like on video. And i can say that everyone can do this and get later very good endless and look. Only thing is clean place where to do it.
Yes xtremeguard has an ebay store (I am not affiliated with them) which is cheaper than their online site. Bought the Nook HD+ full cover and iphone screen for my wife. My problem with all protective covers is I can't find a good place with no dust. Even tried the hot shower once, but the I have exhaust fans which I think spread more dust.
I hope someone finds/creates a tight rear cover soon. I'd def buy one.
Hey everyone. So I just got my brand new droid turbo and was wondering what brand and type of screen protector you are using and if you recommend it.
I understand the general pros and cons of matte vs glossy, but with the droid turbo having a quadHD display and having the pixels not so close to the top of the screen as other phones (from what I heard) should that affect choosing one over the other?
Thanks for any and all input!
Waiting for zagg glass or zagg invisishield HD... don't get anything else.
I've been a long time Zagg user, but picked up the Skinomi - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OYX80W4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Put it on last night and pretty happy with how easy it went on and the fact it fit pretty much edge to edge (a little shy on the bottom but since I'm using the Tech21 case from Verizon pretty unnoticable. A lot cheaper than the Zagg but quality seems on par. It will be interesting to see how it holds up.
The skinomi looks like a quality product. How is the 'drag' when sliding your finger across the screen compared to zagg?

Non-existent. Comparable to a Zagg HD screen, no orange peel feel on the Skinomi. I think I'm noticing a little more finger oil left behind on the Skinomi vs. the Zagg but not enough to be noticeable and not 100% sure. The screen fit is much better than the Zagg's I put on my wife and son's MotoX's.

Edit: I echo a later comment about 'dents' in the Skinomi. I imagine it's the same property that allows for self healing, but it's making me crazy. I've ordered
Motorola Droid Turbo (Verizon) XT1254 Tempered Glass Screen Protect... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P8V5J4I/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_RvFGub1RNXY44 and will follow up.
1/7/15 the tempered glass is great. Fits great.
Skinomi has been great so far. I also will note, that once the application fully dried there was no clarity issues (rainbowing) that I've have had in the past with some screen protectors.
I'm not having a good experience with the skinomi. Ordered two a week ago for mine and my wife's turbo, they both went on ok, yet mine had some bubbles in the lower left corner, figured it would clear up in a day or two when all the solution dried up. Wrong, instead it peeled up and would not stick back down. Contacted skinomi for a replacement, recieved Monday, today the upper right corner on the new one peeled up... Bummed.
The upper right corner on the new one had the same type of little bubbles the lower left corner had on the previous. I think it's something to do with the adhesive underside..
I installed skinomi 3 days ago and so far so good. Clarity is solid and the feel of the screen, which is important to me, is smooth . My only problem is that the screen protector gets indents easily, even when I softly press my fingernail against it. I'm not sure if they will work themselves out after a while, but I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker since the product is still doing its job well.

Unfortunately mine are not clearing up and I'm noticing more appearing Not really noticeable during regular use, just if I look for them but will have to see what the next few weeks brings...
I would advise anyone who is unsure to get an HD Clear screen protector. I've never really liked my husband's anti-glare very much. I think it takes away from the screen quality.
Skinomi no go

So it started off well enough but what I noticed is that over time it continued to pick up more and more marks in the protector which never healed and now it's starting to peel up on the edges. Time to find another brand or just go naked since they give us one free screen replacement.
Posted in the glass thread but I am pretty satisfied with this so figure I would share....
If anybody is looking for Zagg quality (plastic glossy) screen protectors I will recommend the XtremeGuard wet install. Very easy to install and after 8 hours you will not have any bubbles. I will eventually get a tempered glass version but not right now as it seems the jury is mostly out still. This is a cheap ($1.99) fix. I am super picky on screen protectors and will stand by this guy. It fits exactly edge to edge. Total screen coverage with no overhang.
For reference, I worked at Best Buy (back in the day) and always used Zagg protectors and would say this rivals it for 10% of the price. Definitely worth a try for those feeling adventurous with the wet install. I hate the crappy dry installs..

Now I am just waiting for people on here to recommend a Tempered glass that isn't garbage..

Still waiting for that tempered glass as well. I bought an hd screen protector from ebay, which left a bubbly mess... so now that Im waiting for the next brand to come in the mail, I've been going with no screen protector, and it's sooooo much better. I'm just going to have to be super careful not to drop. Not sure that I'll ever be able to use a device with a screen protector again after this.

The 'HD' dry installs are always bubbly messes. I guess that's why they sell them in packs of 6. I will never go back to them regardless if they are a name brand like Xtremeguard.
I really don't like screen protectors in general but use my phone at the gym and don't trust myself. The wet install is a solid protector until a good tempered glass comes out.

Hm, I've had some fair luck with the dry install ones. As long as you do it properly, most brands are pretty good. my favorites are tech armor and amfilm, personally, although amfilm doesnt have a screen protector for the turbo, seemingly.

I got a dry install, and it worked KINDA okay, but not sure that I really like it. I might get used to it
Glossy VS Matt screen protector Ipad?
I noticed there are two types. For the ipad which is better ( i generally use it at home, sometimes take it outside). Whats the difference and which ones better?

If you take it outside, the anti-glare screen protectors will help with sun rays and glare on your screen, but you DO lose some quality of the image. HD will just be a clear piece of plastic that protects the screen, but fingerprints and glare are a bit more of an issue.
