I had one on my Transformer and it was fantastic. I got one after someone mentioned how tablets accumulate tons of prints all over the screen.
It did wonders for my screen.
I ordered a wet screen protector and while it looked good, it still had a print problem. Also the N7 has a flat screen and doesn't need a wet SP since there are no curves.
So I'm looking for a dry apply fingerprint resistant screen protector. Any suggestions?

Yea, no that's not what I'm talking about. That's just a matte finish which is not what I'm looking for. The reviews also say it "feels like paper" and "smudges too much". Both something I don't want.
The fingerprint resistive ones I'm looking for aren't matte. They have some kind of protective coating that resists fingerprints.
The one on my Transformer was not matte or anti glare or anything. Just a regular glossy anti fingerprint dry SP.
Any other suggestions? Cause I haven't found any.

This guy did a review on those screen protectors. Shoot him a PM to see how resistant it is to finger prints.

No need for a PM!
The amFilm matte finish screen protector is better with fingerprints than the clear one. You can see smudges with the screen off, but with the screen on, they're not noticeable. I tried taking a picture, but it's not coming out.
Anyway, what you're looking for is an oleophobic screen protector. Spigen makes one for the Nexus 7. I don't know if anyone else does yet.

Learned something new today. :good:
SGP Protector
I really like the SGP ones. I have had them on my Nexus S since I got it and love it. It by no means is fingerprint proof, but does quite a good job. If you have oily hands, you will see some, but not nearly as bad as no screen. I tend to like the matte finishes to kill the reflection as well. It's quite a bit on the pricey side, but worth it since it lasts a while and looks great.
I already purchases the SGP screen protector for my Nexus 7 and it's in the mail. If you don't mind waiting, I can let you know how mine turns out.

Yea this is the stuff I'm talking about. My old one was possibly a matte but felt smooth. It was edge to edge and you couldn't even tell a difference using it.
I got it via being asked to review it, which I gave it great reviews but I can't find my damn review in the Transformer thread to get the name.
I'll look into some further now I know the actual name of that coating but I wanted to see if anyone had any they've found already.
After installing on my transformer, I don't think I ever had to clean my screen ever again... they're that good.

Yea it isn't in there. Maybe it got lost in the shuffle or something. SGP was probably the one though. After visiting the website it looked strangely familiar, as I visited the website to get a running list of features for the review.
Whatever I had before, I want on my N7.
I also changed the title using the relevant keyword.
It looks like the 'official' Google screen protector will be oleophobic. Can't put out a link yet, but...
www ibtimes co.uk/articles/370058/20120803/google-nexus-7-official-accessories-leaked-photos.htm
Keep an eye on the SGP site. Eventually that one will be available to.
I got my crystal clear from them today. And while it isn't fingerprint resistant it is oh so nice.

As some others have suggested, the matte screen protectors hide finger grease and reflections very well. I use these Fosman protectors http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA07R0CA7549 which are excellent and inexpensive. Like any dry apply protector you have to be very careful about dust getting between it and the screen when it is applying. Using the touch screen is much nicer with this screen protector since your finger now glides smoothly over the surface.

If I was the only one using it I would but I have a 11 year old that loves fruit ninja and cut the rope and LOVES her long nails. i know that the screen will be able to withstand it but I don't want to take that chance.
well i use screen protector on my mobile but not in my tablet reason is that it does not get mixed with keys coins etc so no harm ,also the new coatings of screen are scratch resistant,thats my 2cents

PLEASE, no one mention garbage like zagg. thanks..
Just an FYI, Amazon has that same ArmorSuit for a few bucks less
In my experience, they always make the screen look awful. It's made of gorrilla glass anyway, thats the point is that you shouldn't need to use a screen protector.
As Dja357 said, it's made of gorilla glass. No screen protector needed.
I ordered some $5 protectors off ebay for mine.. i mainly like them for anti-glare.. BUT it does just destroy picture quality
As for scratches.. my fire's protector has a huge gouge across it. and no idea how it got there was worth the money to protect it
The screen quality does go down a bit with some protectors, but they help with glare and make it easier to clean too. I'm going to wait and see what type of case I end up finding before I decide on a protector though, its slim pickings right now
I'm more concerned of the back. But back protector is ridiculously overpriced right now
Sent from my beloved home phone.
Call me a crazy noob but I just took some scissors and snipped off the tab for removing the protector that came on the nexus 10. I left the original screen protector in place. It fits perfectly, there are no bubbles, no trapped fibers it is the best installed screen protector I've ever had. I will admit it is not quite as smooth as the exposed gorilla glass around the front camera and sensor but it is close and I have the piece of mind that should any horrible accident (or even a minor one) befall my tablet, I know that I can always rip off this screen protector to see a perfect piece of glass, untouched by human hands, beneath. Having a screen protector, for me, is mostly psychological.

Plus 1......whenever a bubble appears I just slide it off with my finger easier than any paid protectors. No dirt/lint on corners. Screen quality is beautiful even with it on so I can't imagine with it off. I'm sticking with this original until a smart cover with glowing reviews come out...

I can vouch for that... Had it on my iPad screens because believe it or not iPad screens skratch with NOTHING so I learnt my lesson and put protectors on. I had Spigen protector and even though they are pricey NO BODY including myself ever noticed there was a protector on top of the screen.

I have a spigen on my galaxy note, I'm gonna get a n10 soon and definitely will buy one for it , and with two kids a screen protector is a no brainer, you can't tell the difference with the spigen on it. Is an awesome screen protector.

Hi,
So I purchased a set of dry application clear screen protectors for my Nexus 7 and have it installed pretty much perfectly. However, it's not totally transparent as there are like spots that show similar to the rainbow effect on many screen protectors (shown below). NVM, can't post pictures or links with under 10 posts.
I know SPG makes good screen protectors but I don't really want to shell out $20 for 2 screen protectors.
Can you guys recommend a cheap screen protector or seller, preferably under $3 (most likely from eBay) that doesn't have this problem? It just annoys me every time I see it...

It feels like glass and its like nothings there. Very fingerprint resistant as well.
13 bucks for a 2 pack.

I've always used SGP but Rearth seems just as good (if not better) and cheaper as well. SGP and Rearth protectors are regarded as one of the best.
You really can't go wrong with any Korean/Japanese screen protectors.

I also got the tech armor and I gotta agree its good, I usually use Spigen products. If you lay it down just right the screen protector is almost completely invisible. It feels good to the touch but yes it does attract a bit of finger prints.
Hi there!
I need simple plastic film, clear screen protector, similar to what is installed on new OnePlus 3 out of the box, but this one don't cover edges of the LED, leaving about 2mm exposed from both sides.
Kindly someone give me names or links of full screen protector which is not hard glass, but soft regular screen protector which cover complete screen
Or any other Phones screen protect which can cover OnePlus 3, may be of galaxy S7 Edge
Why i need simple screen protector:
- Its thinner
- Its not noticeable, you don't feel if its there
- Prevents scratches
- Don't make device thicker, by putting extra thick layer
- Can access home button/finger print reader easily, without digging your thumb in
Why i hate Glass Screen protectors
- Thicker, makes phone fatter
- Untidy, makes phone bulky
- buries home button further inside
- At times, i have seen they can damage the screen as well

protector that comes preinstalled on OnePlus 3 seem to be of a very nice quality to me, issue is that, its short, i feel they could extend it little more to sides, just before it curves down, they made it short intentionally to make people buy there full screen or other temper glass screen protectors.
May be i should try to take screen protector of some other phone, like that of Samsung and try to cut it as per OP3.
May be i can extend it to black bars where the screen ends.
I decided to try the Orzly tempered glass. Normally I'm a huge fan of the Spigen Crystal and Ultra Crystal plastic ones - still almost no noticeable marking on the Crystal I have on my LG G4, and the Ultra Crystal on my wife's Nexus 5 literally saved us a screen replacement last winter. I thought the screen HAD broken, down to ordering a replacement to put in it ... but when I peeled the Spigen off, the screen was fine. They don't have one for the OP3 yet though. So this time I thought I'd try something different with the tempered glass. If I don't like it, I'll have to keep looking.
Interested in seeing if there are any good plastic screen protector recommendations though, in case I find that I'm not a fan of the glass ones.
Best non-glass screen protector.

Its of good quality, they could cover sides bit more, as curve starts from where black line starts, i guess the made it short for people to buy their accessories and remove it, probably.

They look tempting, but i am not sure how they will even cover the curves, i heard they come off from edges, it would have been better if they had left the curves exposed, just cover the complete LED, just up to the point where LED starts.
Hopefully it will give surprising results.

Hi all!
I'd like to get a screen protector for the phone, and I've found an abundance of the same tempered glass protectors on Amazon (all the same box with different logos) but I really don't care for the glass screen protectors that much.
Has anyone found a good plastic protector that works well?

The official Xiaomi film screen protector works great. Much thinner than a glass one, don't really notice it on.

I do have to say, that the CHYI 3D Curved Film from the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi.../problems-tempered-glass-try-chyi-3d-t3801912 is the best for me so far - I've changed about 4 protectors (3 glass and one film) and this one is the best so far (it's barely visible). I'm not sure though how tough it is - it looks like it's quite prone to scratches. I just applied it yesterday and can't tell yet.

I didn't get it at gearbest, but here it is. Xiaomi actually includes a practice screen guard so you can try to install that before you install the real thing.
