[POLL] Do You Use Protection? - Nexus 7 Accessories

Not that kind of protection...but for your N7. I was wondering who uses a screen protector, a case, both or neither.

I have a screen protector with an i-blason case, but I take my n7 out of the case if I'm going to be on it for more than a couple minutes.

Protector and skin for back and sides.
Makes no practical change to looks, size or weight and cost about the fiver, so is common sense imo

Terrapin screen protector & a skanky cheap 360 case off of flea bay!
Transmitted from either Nexus7 - Tab2 - GT-N7000 - i9100

I like it raw.

I bought and installed a Zagg InvisibleShield on my N7. I was happy that it didn't degrade the sensitivity at all and I can rest a little easier knowing that the screen is protected a little more.
I know the screen is Corning, but it's still not officially Gorilla Glass.
I'm interested in buying a case, but haven't found anything decent yet.

im thinking about buying a case... I heard they have some pretty cheap ones on amazon... But i am skeptical because I heard the cases make the nexus 7 hotter then it should

Ghost Armor is the Shizzz. Ive trusted them with many of my devices for the past 3 years. Crystal clear and finger prints are a breeze to wipe off.... plus if it ever gets damaged or starts peeling, the replace the whole thing for $10.

Another vote for SGP Steinheil. Once it goes on, you can't even tell it's there. No tacky rubbery feeling, no dimpling orange peel effect, just smooth glass.

Go to the ghost armor website. I don't think its something you get shipped. I had to go to a kiosk at the mall and they install it for you

[review]: Realook screen protector UPDATED w/PICS

So I got the realook screen protector yesterday.
attached are some pics of:
1. what you get
2. trick on applying the screen protector (or any screen protector for that matter)
3. and some shots of the N7 with the screen protector.
packaging is pretty nice. instead of cardboard, the envelope is plastic.
it comes with the screen protector, cleaning cloth and a screen wipe towel.
impressions:
definitely as good as powersupport usa.
there is ZERO lift around the edges of the device. which means no dust getting trapped around the edges making the screen protector ugly.
the screen protector is spot on. it matched the dimensions of the tablet nicely.
sorry about the one spot on the bottom right of the N7. dust. lol.
also, screen protector does not affect the touch sensitivity and functioning of magnet case.
easy of install: 9/10 (use the tape trick)
screen clarity: 9/10
cost: 9/10

The "eBay" case.

The case + the realook sp = perfect combo.
They came out with a screen protector??
I emailed them a while back requesting one (created a thread here on XDA about it), and they said they'd email me updates but haven't heard a peep from them since.
Is there a link where you ordered from? I *LOVED* the Realook screen protector I bought for my Captivate a few years ago

Nexus 7 Case v. 3 Year Old

Looking for a case for my wife's Nexus 7. She has an SGP screen protector installed. The goal is to make sure our 3 year old can't get her hands on it and smash it to pieces . I'm looking at the Poetic Revolution and while it looks sweet it already has a built in screen protector, but I guess I could peel/cut it out. Thoughts? Thanks!

Actually looks pretty sweet. I'd get that for myself. Not sure if the wife would care for it though. Still awesome though.
I agree, either gumdrop or Seidio with cover. Seidio would be more attractive to a girly in my opinion (I'm a girl).
Okay

I have the pinkish color bobjgear case.. I think it looks much nicer then the gum drop . but still have good protection.. NO Built in screen protector....
I really like the protection from this case..

I recommend this case great and adds no bulk to note 2 i give it a 10 out of 10

I purchased this case on ebay great price free shipping phone looks good protects note 2 just fine it doesnt make bulky heres link to purchase and pics http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=281028003729

This case is only good for protection from scratches. While using this case I dropped my Note 2 from 2 feet onto pavement and the screen cracked. The case is great if you want something very slim but I wouldn't trust it for drop protection. The casemate tough case is also very slim but provides 10 times more protection.

I only use this case for after work during work i use a otterbox commuter
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Yep, read another post with someone dropping their phone using this case and it shattered the screen. It's slim and protects from scratches, but next to nothing drop protection.
+1 for Case-Mate Tough as one of the slimmest cases with a drop protection on par with other cases twice of it's thickness.
awesome!
I just like this case cause phone still looks sexy with it and im pretty carefull with my phones but i do construction work so otterbox comnuter goes on at work

I have the aluminum button from spigen over the home button for that very reason.
Back to this case to be honest I didn't even think it looked all that great. The back is an absolute grease and finger print magnet.
After getting my phone replaced I tried out the seidio surface case (which I liked, good kickstand) before finally settling on the casemate tough case. It seems to be the perfect marriage of slimness and protection. Although I'm probably going to order the seidio convert case add on for the surface case I already own for those trips where I might want additional protection.

It comes in 3 colors for 10 bucks. Actually the black and silver look very nice, much better than stock and I actually prefer the tactile feel. It has a very nice metallic spiral design. I was concerned about the button moving around but after 3 weeks so far the adhesive is very good. I'd recommend it especially if you have a Verizon note 2.

I had a slim case on my N2 once, a Nilkin one but pretty much the same design as this one.
Then I dropped my phone whilst getting out the car, and now I have a dirty great big crack across the bottom of my screen. No insurance...
Now I have my phone in an Otterbox, with a film screen protector to hopefully stop the crack getting worse. I has a very big sad.
Do yourself a favour, avoid slim cases as they're worse than useless. They give a false sense of security that WILL be shattered, along with your screen, when you drop it. If you're going for a case, get something that PROTECTS!
That's exactly what I just wrote in another thread for Case-Mate Tough. If you want a super slim case, great grip, and durable corner protection to give you a piece of mind - there is no better choice but Tough case.

The screen protector is very thick and feels just like it's not even on there. It does not cover edge to edge, has plenty of room for a case. I to recommend this screen protector.

Just got mine in today, ordered on Wednesday.
I'm surprised that it came with 3 instead of the 2 that's advertised.
I also like that it doesn't cover the front sensors
I'll see if I have enough time to put one on today. Hopefully it fits with the diztronic.

How does this protector feel? Does it feel plasticy or more like glass?
I'm curious to know as well
Okay so I just put this on my phone.
I'm hating how LG design the curved edges of the screen right now.
I have the oleophobic ones and they are cut out correctly for the phone, but **** man. You have to be a surgeon to not have any bubbling edges, and that's due to the curved edges of the screen.
I managed to get mine in with only a bit of the top bubbling up, but it doesn't worry me as my hopefully prevents it from coming up.
The Diztronic fits good with the screen protector and doesn't post the edges up.
It feels a bit sticky, but that is something common for the first few days. I'll report back after I get the stickiness off the protector
Clarity is great, screen looks pretty much the same as before.
My only gripe with the screen protector is that there's a bubble that isn't any dust that is on the bottom right of the screen. I'm hoping it goes away after some use and settling.
Edit: I forgot to mention that it doesn't cover any sensors, so there's not problem with knock on/off.
Also, after some use the stickiness is already coming off and it now feels much smoother.

So far the feel is in between glass and plastic. It feels much better than plain plastic, but sometimes gets the squeakiness of plastic when your finger is sliding around
Sent from my VZW LG G2
Just got mine in today. I can now swype with a clean screen! The bare glass is a bit sticky for swyping but this screen protector is great.
After a day I take back the stickyness. Its very close to bare glass. After a little greasing up she's slick but after a good cleaning its hard to swype because the finger sticks.
I'll be sticking with it for sure though because it fits very good with my DualPro and TPU case. No it doesn't cover the curved edges but I think my case would peel back a screen protector like that.
I really love the feeling of the G2s screen and hate putting on a screen protector but this one is as close as I'll get to that silky feeling I think.
