Has anyone tried the Zagg shield for the nook color yet?
Thoughts?
I don't have a zagg shield on my nook yet (bought a screen protector at B&N when I bought the nook), but I have used zagg on every cell phone I've owned for the past few years. They are amazing! I will be putting one on the nc when the other one dies.
If you are debating, I would say do it! The zagg shield is a most superior product.
Phones tend to get dropped a lot more. When phones drop and hit pavement/ashphalt, the little granules can make pock mark holes in regular screen protectors. Zagg's survive this type of insult.
If you tend to drop your nook for some reason on a regular basis, I'd get a zagg. Otherwise monoprice sells cheap cheap protectors, we're talking 2 dollars. I usually buy a bulk order of cables and screen protectors/accessories.
They also have a bundled outlet with 2 usbs with 2 amp out. It's good stuff.
The cable that nook has is proprietary to some degree, I haven't seen monoprice make any of those yet.
In my experience, Zagg shields are very durable, but have an orange peel texture that I don't like. The B&N shield is much better visually. Don't know how durable. The B&N shield is harder than a Zagg, which equates to a smoother finger slide when compared to the Zagg's rubbery feel.
Cheers,

I have a Zagg screen and backplate cover with an otterbox case for maximum protection. They are easy to apply and I haven't noticed any loss of screen sensentivity. I would recommend the screen protector to anyone.

I got a Zagg for the Nook. It didn't seem to go on as well as the PhantomSkinz protector that I have on my phone. If I could go back in time, I'd go with PhantomSkinz again over the Zagg (not to mention that you get two PhantomSkinz for less than one Zagg). That said, I'm happy. When I look at my sleeping Nook, I see problems with the skin that bother me. But when I'm actually using it, I don't notice any of that.
I would recommend BestSkinsEver. ( www(dot)bestskinsever(dot)com/barnes-noble-nook-color-skin )
I've used Zagg and BSE and BSE was just as good, if not better and much cheaper. Last time I ordered they gave 2 covers for the price of one in-case you mess up and I believe if you mess them both up they will send you another free of charge(I remember someone on a different forum saying that but I can't confirm).
I have a zagg shield. love it. only tip i can give is make sure to take your time putting it on. Worth the effort and time. Once on, you will think its part of the nook. texture isnt as smooth as glass though, but its all personal preference.
The Zagg shields are top notch for protection but can be a bit too "grippy" (if thats a word) for the nook. Just my opinion

Two parts to this question-
1st part kind of a poll. Who thinks it is necessary or helpful to put a screen protector on the T-Mo HD2, and why?
Of course I want to protect the screen on my HD2, as much as possible. I think the screen is already scratch resistant, and I am not sure if a screen protector would add anything in that regard. I don't see how a screen protector could possibly protect against breakage, or internal LCD damage.
I have seen some reports, of screen sensitivity being diminished by screen protectors.
Of course the companies that make them, will try to sell people on it. That is called "manufactured demand", creating a need that isn't there.
Your opinion? Do they really help protect the phone?
I am about to purchase some items from Amazon. I see they have one screen protector (manufacturer Amzer) for $6.95 with free shipping (if total order is more than $25, which mine is). I haven't heard of that company before, but it sounds good from the description (no user reviews). (It even says "anti-reflective" and "free from fingerprints", and those are two problems the screen has--fingerprint magnet, and very reflective. Don't know if those claims are true though.) Has anyone tried this brand? Any good?
The link for that is: http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-Screen-..._14?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1281121428&sr=8-14
They even have some cheaper, a dollar or less, with $3 shipping. Do a search on Amazon for HD2 screen protector.
The following link includes a rubber case such as the one that comes with the unit, plus a screen protector, for $1.54 +2.98 shipping: http://www.amazon.com/HTC-T-Mobile-...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1281121428&sr=8-1
Another is only 46 cents plus shipping.
Are there really any differences in these? They are only tiny pieces of plastic. Seems like they should cost less than a buck, not $10 or $15, as some do.
In any case, I am thinking of getting the Amzer, as it can have free shipping with the rest of my order, and sounds good. Anyone here used it?
Still undecided though--whether there is any point in getting a screen protector at all, or just one of those "manufactured demand" products, that really doesn't help anything.
Opinions?
Between this forum and the official T-Mobile forum on their website, I'm seeing quite a few instances of shattered LCD screens from people dropping their HD2s. You'll also see that there are now many replacement screens showing up on eBay, for example. My point is that you might consider acquiring more than just a screen protector for your HD2.
I personally purchased an Otterbox Defender case for my HD2. It has a built-in screen protector as one of its layers of protection, and the multi-part case appears to thoroughly protect the phone (including from my 7 year old). There are lots of cases out there, so I'm not actually suggesting that you get one from Otterbox (and I don't work for them). Some people say, for example, the the Defender case is overkill, and makes the phone too bulky for their taste.
I'm just saying that a $100 to $300 phone might warrant more than a screen protector.
in my opinion there is no such thing as to much protection
My car has airbags everywhere ,but i still wear my seat belt
def put a screen protector, that is the first thing you do when you get a phone like the hd2
Most things break when you drop them... it's called gravity. There's no solution for clumsiness you'll have to get something like the otterbox for some gravity proof protection. I've considered getting the otterbox myself but it takes away so much of the aesthetics of the phone....
My HD2 has a screen protector and a well padded leather case.... i've been doing this for all my previous phones. Sure i've had some slips and tumbles but the leather case protects most the impacts no problems.

A tennis ball doesn't break when you drop it!
Seriously, one would think that they might have strong enough materials available today, so that a phoine would not break if dropped.
But certainly--a screen protector would not protect one iota against dropping!
What exactly, does a screen protector protect against?
Do you also put one on your laptop screen?
If scratches on the screen bother you, screen protector will help with preventing that. The HD2 is not as scratch resistance as some of the youtube videos lead you to believe. I am careful with mine and still manages to get some minor scratches on it. When it comes to preventing the phone from breaking during a drop, I think your best bet is a otterbox defender.
I put a screen protector on my HD2 I have no sensativity issues but the feel of the screen protector is obvious when you slide your finger on the screen. My wife does not have the screen protector and it feels smooth to the touch but there is no difference as far as sensativity goes I used a zagg invisible shiled.
No scratches on my screen eventhough I carry it with keys and coins in front pocket sometimes. Only cracked screen from dropping it! Getting Otterbox Commuter case for my new replacement HD2 but NO screen protector. This screen doesn't get scratched very easily at all.

Filed my insurance claim today, should get it tomorrow. Free next day air.
Oh, and bought commuter case too. A bit late it seems though..
No screen protector would have prevented that. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Probably not, but since that incident, i'm going all out.
Thanks for the links!
I have one of the Invisible shield covers on mine & i like the feeling of knowing if the protector comes off ill get to see the screen BRAND NEW while i'm replacing the cover.
On an ass-backwards note, i also have the Body Glove case with the kickstand from T-Mobile and the only reason is for the kickstand. It feels like if i dropped the phone the case would shatter my phone would be goin to bed dead.
I am pretty careful with my stuff but as others have mentioned, theres no such thing as too much... im probably going to order that same black case though.
as for the screen, you never know... i'd rather be safe than sorry. I feel putting a $10 screen protector on a $500 phone isnt a big deal.

Well, materials like that do exist, ones that could make the phone near indestructable. Unfortunately, they're prohibitively bulky or expensive and would jack up the price and/or size of the phone. The treated glass used on the screen is the best attempt at a compromise on this that's really available.
I've honestly been using my HD2 since March with nothing but the rubber cover that HTC provided in the box, and I have yet to get a single scratch on it...but, I know I'm probably just fortunate with that. I have a screen protector on my TP2, and I know that it's definitely saved me from scratches on a number of occassions....but then again that screen isn't anywhere near as hard as the one on the HD2.
I've got an otterbox commuter series case on the way now, but I'll probably try it without the screen protector at first. I reeeeeally like the feel of the bare glass

Corning developed a glass many years ago that was dubbed "Gorilla glass" for its toughness and durability. I used to work summers for them, and at the time it was a nice invention that no one could find a use for -- we didn't have widescreen computer monitors or HDTVs, or cell phones, for that matter. Besides, it was considered expensive to manufacture. I read recently that Corning is now testing this old, very tough but thin glass for use in large TV screens and, soon, for cell phone screens. Maybe this will increase the durability of the touch screens for future phones. But for now, cases and screen protectors (should) rule the day.

Yes, actually Gorilla glass has already been used on a cellphone (or more than one perhaps), I belive the Motorola Droid was the first one. From what I understand, the HD2 doesn't have the acutal Gorilla Glass, but rather some similar hardness treatment.

And to add to the whole screen protector on mine. I never had one until I dropped it and it landed face down on a pile of small hard dry rocks. Then slid across the ground. It made two small but noticeable deep scratches.

I should have figured that. I'm just not a fan of paying retail. Otterbox sells their cases for 50% more than sites like Amazon, NewEgg, and eBay. Now that the U.S. version's supply is becoming more available my guess is that these places will begin selling the U.S. version as well.
I use these skins on my vibrant and it works well. Every once in a while they have special deals that they sell them for s/h only. Quality is good, application with windex is simple.

I always get a kick when they say only pay for shipping in handling. In reallity these films are cheap in bulk, the handling charge pays for the material too.
How do they handle the NC's soft touch back? Is the screen protector the same stretchy material as the body protection? I prefer the harder pastic screen protectors, the resistance of the softer films annoys me.
On both my Evo and NC I opted for no screen protection because I feel the newer glass displays are much more resistance to scratches then earlier ones and the old resistance screens. But body protection for the NC is something I'm interested in. A stealth non-glossy black or Grey protector would be nice.
The funny thing is that this is a decal/sign shop, but anyways, I love this on my EVO. I only use the screen protector portion and put in a suggestion for it with them when I originally got my NC. I got the ZAGG, before they (SG) made theirs available (it cost $20 plus shipping)..

I've always been one to use screen protectors on my displays, even on gorilla glass. With the nexus 7 using an unconfirmed type of corning glass (ie it might not be gorilla glass and instead just have a scratch resistant coating), i figured to go shopping.
XO skins is the company I've been buying from recently. It is very easy to find coupons that will work online. They work really well, although they can feel a bit rubbery. They do NOT have the orange peel texture companies like zagg are known for. Since it is a wet installation, it is sometimes possible to see "rainbow streaks" under the screen over a white background. If you run into this problem, shoot them an email and they'll send you a replacement. Customer service is excellent.
http://xoskins.com/laptops-tablet-r...in-protectors/google-nexus-7-screen-protector
This next one i haven't tried, but it differs from the above protector in that it is a static cling installation. This would probably be good for those who are against wet installations, or fans screen protectors from companies such as steinheil. This one is anti-glare though, so it is likely that it has a matte-textured or cloudy display.

I'll definitely be going with the Skinomi: I've done both Skinomi and ZAGG, and ZAGG is just too sticky for my taste. IMO, my fingers just glide over the screen much easier with a Skinomi protector.
I've always gone with xoskins and their customer service is AMAZING. No joke, if you feel unsatisfied with your screen protector, just email them and they'll most likely send you a new one. I got one for my Galaxy Nexus though one thing about these types of screen protectors is that dents and marks got onto them pretty easily. Even so, I'll still be getting an xoskin for my Nexus 7 (assuming I get one soon).

+1 SGP for screen protectors & skinomi for silver carbon fiber kit
SGPs are great but expensive. I've bought 5$ screen protectors from Frys that have the same quality as my SGPs. Skinomi intends to scratch very easily and it doesn't self heal. Never had experience with XO skins though and I'm not a big fan of water based once anymore since they seem to dent and scratch easily X_x..
I am not a fan of protectors. I don't use one on my Sony EReader (soft screen) or my Motorola phone (Gorilla).
Both have cases, and are scratch-free after a couple of years use.
That works better for me.
Here's what SGP CS wrote back to me when I asked if they plan to make a SP for the Nexus 7
Thank you for contacting Spigen.com Customer Service Department.
Hi, my name is Diana from Spigen.com.
Thank you for your interest in our products! As of now, we don’t have any definite plans to make screen protectors for the Asus Nexus 7 Tablet. However, if there is increased interest from our customers, we may change our production plans in the future. Please check our website for any updates time to time.
If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Thank you.

Funny thing is that they usually reply with that for most new products if I'm not mistaken.
I'm hoping Clarivue will make a Nexus 7 protector soon. I've always like them, but I'm an acrylic protector kind of person. Just never cared for the "rubbery" feel. I'll put up with the very occasional minor scratch that you can't even see when the screen's on in exchange for a feel that's identical to the screen itself.

I normally just use cheap ones of ebay on my phones which work well enough however my father got a samusung 10.1 and I think because of the size the static as you pull off the second layer just sucked any surrounding particles to the skin.
I bought one from bestskinsever which is a wet application one and it worked very well and was decently priced so I'm planning to get one from them for the Nexus and my new HTC One XL.
I sent a query on their site and got an initial automated reply, the more queries they got for the Nexus the quicker they will start making them.
I used to use typical screen protectors, but I feel they are easier to get bubbles and dust stuck under them and are much less forgiving for mistakes. This is an even bigger problem with larger screens.
I now only use wet application screen protectors, such as InvisibleShield (too expensive), BestSkinsEver, and Prestige / XtremeGuard. There are much easier to apply after practicing on other devices, much more forgiving as if you don't align right, you can easily remove as it's still wet and just spray more of the solution on (water + drop of dish detergent). The secret is to make sure it's always wet when applying and then once it's on, squeegee..if it's not on yet, keep it wet. They do have a bit of texture, but I don't mind it.
I ordered XtremeGuard from ebay for $9 shipped.. much cheaper than the alternatives right now and it ships quick from Utah. I also ordered a folio style case specifically for the Nexus 7 from ebay (shipped from Hong Kong) .. i made sure it was specific because others are selling Kindle Fire cases, but this one has specific slots for speaker and other inputs and is under $10.
Also to the person wanting full body skin...it doesn't make sense to cover the soft back of the Nexus 7 with something like InvisibleShield.

Yeah, I wouldn't go with anything other than XOSkins.
I'm absolutely 100% satisfied with the way they've worked on my Nexus.
I "pre-ordered" my Skinomi case from Amazon last week. They estimate 8/1 as the shipping date. That could mean two weeks without a screen protector. My OCD-ness won't like that.

Have you used an XOSkin to be able compare the two? I'm just curious about Matte protectors.
Hey guys, I'm looking for some advice. I'm trying to decide between a nice screen protector and a DODOcase/Portenzo case.
Could anyone help me decide why one might be the better buy over the other? If you're arguing in favor of a screen protector, please list which one you would suggest.
Thanks,

screen protector: my favorite is SGP
pros
- protects screen from scratches
- 0 added bulk
cons
- no drop protection
case:
pro
- protects entire tablet from bumps and scratches
cons
- added bulk
- does not necessarily protect the tablet from scratches. (if sand gets in between the cover and tablet, you will get scratched
- expensive
that being said, i have a screen protector on mine and have a portenzo on order.

Thanks, Allen. I'm definitely considering the SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal. At least with the screen protector, I know that the most important part of the tablet would be protected. On the other hand, I like how the book-style cases disguise it (kind of an anti-theft technique).
I would get both a screen protector and a book-style case, but I feel like more than 25% is too much to spend to protect it (not to judge anyone, just my personal opinion). Am I wrong to think this? Maybe I'm being unrealistic, and should spring for both.
I completely agree that its a lot to spend on a case. If its perfect I'll be happy but if it isn't, I'll feel like I wasted some money. The dodo case has the same looks but is a little cheaper (plus some people are finding coupon codes foe 10% off). The difference is that the tablet is stuck on by an adhesive instead of the wood cradle. I was thinking about getting one of those just because they are thinner than the portenzo. You could get one of those now and if you feel that you need more protection, get something lie the incipio feather or similar when it is released.
Another way is to get a cheaper screen protector. I'm currently using a cheap amazon one because SGP had not released theirs yet. It is thinner than SGP which makes installing much harder but I feel it protects just as well. Shoot me a pm with your address and I'll mail you the spare that it came with.

Thank you so much for the offer. I actually ordered a cheap screen protector on Amazon as well a few days ago. I keep hearing amazing things about SGP though (things like clarity, smoothness, etc), but I'm starting to wonder if a screen protector is even necessary if you have a case on it. How easily scratched is the glass? I've heard some people say that it's not worth (long-term) using a screen-protector unless it's a nicer (expensive) one, because it detracts from the experience.
I love the DODOcase because it's so sleek, and looks professional. I'm pretty OCD about keeping it nice I'm confident that it'd be a good purchase, I'm just wondering if it's really worthwhile, considering that the Nexus 7 is pretty durable (from what I've heard; I don't actually have it, yet).
I caved and bought the DODOcase

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.

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.

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.
