Can't find it via search on their site. But the pre-order/order page is up. Get um while they're hot!
This is by far the best screen protector you can use. Looks and feels just like the glass.

Have one on my galaxy nexus. Good Find. Gonna get one for my nexus 7 as well.
It looks nice but $22 for a screen protector stings a bit too much for my tastes.
Looks nice. May have to try it.

Steep price, sticking with the Body Guardz screen protector for the quality, slick for sliding finger around and warranty for replacements if needed.
Awesome! I have one on my Bionic and cannot recommend it enough. It's still in perfect condition after at least nine months of use... no peeling, no dimples, no scratches. I think I'm going to skip it on the N7 since it's not going to be subjected to the same level of abuse and because I'll eventually get a case, but if you're looking for one, this a good choice.
Don't worry about the price, unless you're on a shoestring budget. You'll never miss the extra $5 or $10 you dropped on this, because you'll never notice it's there. Can't say that about most of the cheaper ones I've tried.
I have one on my thunderbolt and it is almost a year old. Absolutely the best screen protector. They are really hard and clear.
Not going to use over on my N7 since I use a folio case, but if you are using an open face TPU style case, then this is the screen protector you want.

Haven't seen a thread about screen protectors lately. Currently I'm using the ZAGG invisishield but its starting to get scratched up so I'm looking for a new one.
I like the clarity and smoothness of the ZAGG. Some of the matte finish ones I've seen seem to distort the image on the screen somewhat. What I don't like so much is how easily the invisishield gets smeared and dirty.
Any recommendations on a protector I should try?

I used the mybatt they're cheap and really clear. I don't like the "drag" I get from the Invisible Shield. I get a two pack for 9 bucks and they seem to be lasting well. I get them at a local store here in Anne Arundell MD called Cyberion.

i use steinheil crystal clear. its really good and not as thick as ZAGG. so the screen is really responsive. I had ZAGG before and it just didnt work for me.
I use some cheap ($1 for 3, free shipping) ones from Amazon designed for the iPhony. It isn't very high quality but the screen feels better than before.
screen protectors
I shop the bay for all my screen protectors.... usually get them from 5 for $5 and down and the ones I bought for my ipt3g 32gig I am on my second one after a year and a half and first one for the intercept after 4 months.... price totally out weighs any problems and I have had none... I would never pay $20 for 1 zagg product
Steinheil "Crystal Clear"... nothing else comes close. Once you get rid of the Zagg and use something like the Stenheil, you'll wonder why anyone would ever use a dimpled, tacky Zagg.

Well I went with the Steinhall Crystal Clear and I have to say it is amazing. Smooth, not dimpled, fast, and I'm no longer so jealous when I look at my girls SLCD Incredible. It was quite a pain in the ass to get it on correctly though compared to the wet application ZAGG though. Glad I got a 2 pack

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.
Just wondering, because I don't really want to. My HTC Desire S has been without screen protection or case, and it's been fine for 1.5 years now. I just prefer to have the screen as clear and smooth as possible.
So who uses protectors and who doesnt?
Not me. I bought 2 of the 75% off ones, but I doubt I'll put it on. If it's in a case or sleeve, I don't really see the need.
There's a few thousand theads on this already... Some people use them, some people don't. It's personal preference. I use them because they increase the resale value of my electronics. I buy and sell phones and tablets every few months; the number one thing that people don't like is a scratched screen.
I do. I'm currently using an ultra clear one from Clarivue. Its working great thus far aside from the Polaroid effect sometimes when looking at it from an angle. I also ordered 2 from XtremeGuard during the 75% sale.
Sent from my Nexus 7
personally, i go for both a screen protector and a case. with the prices of ebay hong kong shipping worldwide, it will cost you around $20 for a decent screen protector (or 10) and case. its a lot cheaper than paying $150 to have the screen replaced or paying another $250-300 for another N7 if you accidentally drop it.
i never did before until I had kids...my two year old got a hold of my htc view (2 days old) and scratched it up with the end of the micro usb cable.AAHHH!!! since then I have tried many differnt protectors but clearplex feels and works best for me. it actually feels like the glass screen and doesnt feel plasticky
I use anti-glare screen protectors
i got those xtremeguard ones and proceed to rip it off the screen because the grib was pissing me off

Not using one here...but I would consider an ant-glare one.
I don't but only because it's a slow boat from hong kong and my tablet took the air route and beat all the ebay accessories here
I've never had a scratched screen on a touch device, and I'd rather avoid having one, so I will be putting a clear cover over the screen when it gets here.
Cheapie anti-glare from CrazyOnDigital (ScreenGuard). Bought these (3 for $4.95 on Amazon) while waiting for SGP to come out with a Nexus 7 screen protector but these are just fine, so may not even replace them. Anti-glare and oleophobic means that slight texture that bothers some folks but I actually prefer over the naked glass. YMMV.
Using the zagg HD . Best one yet (I've tried everything)

no way. If you're planning on having it more than 3 months there's no point.
No. I hate the feel of screen protectors and i have a case to protect the screen when not in use, which really is the only time i need to worry about it.
I can't even use them on my phone because i hate how they feel or leave more finger points than the glass.
No, don't used then, never have scratch issues.... I am very protective of my electronics. Nobody plays with them but me, they have their own.

I ordered an Xtremeguard protector during their 75% off sale.
I happy that it has no 'orange peel' compared to the InvisibleShield.
No regrets, mostly because it was 75% off.

I also bought 2 XtremeGuards and they are crap. I put one on, let it completely dry out for 10 hours (I'm in Arizona super hot and super dry), and it has major problems with touch sensitivity (won't register my touches consistently). I removed the screen protector and the touch screen works fine, so it is the screen protector.
I've used dry screen protectors before on my phones and I never had a problem with touch sensitivity. This is my first wet application and it sucked to the Nth degree. I would not recommend XtremeGuard. Not in a million years.

I also puchased an armorsuit, and its great, seems very strong, durable, no loss in feel or touch on the screen, and virtually no increase in glare.
it also has a lifetime guarantee they will replace it any time anything happens to it.
today i went out to buy another nexus 7 for my wife, after buying a bunch of accessories for my first one, i realized that many of these generic stuff are pretty much the same, I got in on a couple leather folio cover type cases for 5 bucks shipped when it was posted here, but my wife thinks that the flap is annoying and wants to get a simple tpu as well as a screen protector for hers (the 5 dollar folio one i cannot use the NFC google wallet unless i pop the tablet out from case)
personally I hated the xtreme something wet application screen protectors, it grips too much and makes swiping difficult, I tore mine off the screen in less than a day (i laid it on perfect, no bubble btw) but it was just annoying, so back to the regular dry application screen protectors
as for the TPU cases, to me the simpler the better, I don't care much about their so called designs as they look all look ghetto to me, I much rather to have a plain case with no design on it, having a X or S does not make my tablet any faster or better looking.
for 1 I don't like the x design on the other TPU case and don't feel like paying a few extra dollar for the S design case, so I ordered this one, nice grip i'd imagine, will see when it arrives
http://www.amazon.com/Exact-Design-...=1344802737&sr=8-18&keywords=nexus+tablet+tpu
then since i like to poke my tablet with a stylus, i'd figured that it would be a good idea to slap on some screen protector, I never had the matte anti glare one, so this one looks good as i can have both and in case i don't like the matte one i just tear it off and put on the regular clear one.
http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Duro...sr=1-5&keywords=nexus+tablet+screen+protector
as for the stylus part, we have a amazonbasic one, and some generic cheap ones, to be honest save your money as they both feel pretty much the same and if you are like me who loses pen easily, get the cheap one, i also have the motorola xyboard one that i keep at the office, it looks good and thats about it.
and if you are not in a rush, after rooting the tablet, order a couple of these OTG cables as it takes a while to get here from China

I had the Zagg HD on my phone for the last 4 days and at first I was quite happy with it. The fit was outstanding...it went right to the edge and had no peeling. The feel was slightly tacky, but it was clear and offered protection so I was happy. Over the last day or so I started noticing lines or imprints in the protector from the s pen. I'm highly impatient and I had the xtremeguard sitting on standby, so off with the zagg and on with the $3 xtremeguard.
I used the hot shower/spray bottle install method and the xtremeguard went on perfectly (as did the zagg)...no bubbles, no dust whatsoever. The fit is every bit as good as the Zagg...screen coverage could not be any better. The xtremeguard is smoother than the zagg, but still a little tacky. I expect that will get better over the next couple days as did the zagg. I have had the xtremeguard on the back if my phone for a week and tested the s pen on that to see if it left any marks like it did on the zagg, and it did not...that's why I went ahead and chose to put it on the screen too. It does not have a cutout for the sensors at the top of the phone, but it doesn't appear to effect anything, so that's better as far as I'm concerned. Screen clarity is every bit if not a little better with the xg over the zagg.
Overall, I would say if you are patient then save $23 and get the front AND back from xg for $3.99 including shipping instead of just front from zagg for $25 from best buy. Great product, great price! I just ordered another set for backup just in case.

The Zagg, both regular, and HD, both show where the S-Pen has been used. I would honestly rate it at Complete Garbage for use with the Note 2. Most, if not all, wet application screen protectors fit this description.
SGP Ultra Crystal = complete opposite.
My recommendation is always: a case (even the thin ones, especially if you're considering these skins, you aren't looking for drop protection) + a screen protector. Those cheap ones from eBay are VERY good! I get 6 of them for a dollar shipped, (maybe a little more?), and if they EVER get scratched I change it out for another, and if I install it incorrectly, toss it away and whip out a new one! They're uber smooth and cheap cheap cheap! I HATE wet installations on my phone. 700 dollar phone + water + soap? No thanks! Regardless of how much you use. I've used Zagg a million times way before when it was Invisible Shield and it was always the same problems:
peeling off after a few days on the sides (the part that I really needed protecting because that's the part that scrapes against my jeans coming in and going out), with the Note 1 I had it also and it almost broke the tip of my spen ... sucks.
I love cases, because I feel like I'm dressing up my phone. And I love the screen, give it some good protection with 99 cent 6 packs of screen protectors! No fuss. No issues. No reason not to use them .
Xtreme guard doesn't protect the chrome bit does it. Still good price though. Thanks, definitely give it a go.

I don't know about marks from the S pen. I bought them on Ebay for $4 then got another set during Cyber Monday for $2.

Xtremeguard is better quality than zagg hd. I got 2 screen protectors and full body protector from xtremeguard for $3.50. I would have paid $25+ for a zagg hd screen protector only. Not to mention that zagg products turn yellow after days of use. This happened and it was very noticeable on my white Galaxy S3.

I think it's important to have good customer services. A happy client is a revolver. Especially nowadays when you can buy the products from almost anywhere, offering something that differentiates your company from others is key to get revolvers. Amazon Spain is fantastic. I buy almost everything I can from them because they have excellent customer service and return policies. Not to mention it's sometimes cheaper than anywhere else online!
