I'm looking for a screen protector that will reduce sensitivity. I'm not sure I like capacitive screens... With my previous Touch HD I can use anything with pin sharp accuracy.
I attached FOLIX-Screen protector antireflective (sorry, can´t post external links as Junior member). Bought it from Amazon GER.
Attaches easy and perfectly, no air-bubbles, gives a much better haptic response and reduces mistyping and best of all: NOW I can fully use it in direct sunlight as Navi-System on my ultralight-gyroplane.
Together with the tweaks and progs from the xperts in this forum (You are absolutely great guys !) it spared me to buy a new mini-notebook for the go.
Wouldn´t know how to live and navigate w/o HD 2 any more

I got a set of three off eBay for £3. They reduce glare because they have a satin texture, and reduce sensitivity (probably because of their cheapness!) but in this instance it's a great advantage.
My keyboard has almost COMPLETELY stopped going crazy outdoors and is now very usable. No tweaks needed. It fits well at the top but bevels off level with the middle of the keys rather than being cut out. This isn't really a problem for me though.
If you want the eBay link I can pass it on. The brand is E-cell.
Thanks for the help people.
I ended up buying the cheapo anti glare protector from e-cell. I'll let you know how it went once received.
I'm using an E-Cell one, it's great!
I bought a pack of 5 cheap one of ebay, and I now have more control over the screen as its less responsive

LOL I went around and bought from 10 different suppliers on ebay their antiglare screen protectors.
I've the e-cell ones too. personally don't think it's very good. it's very thin and it scratches relatively easily. dents easily IMHO.
Of all those I received, I prefer the ones from amor_istores.
I don't like some of the others coz they don't have a curve at the bottom. Not very comfortable with them since others provide "more" protection.
AVOID the ones from hello.6670 : They're not anti-glare at all, but they're fantastic clear screen protectors, looks as if you don't have a screen protector. I emailed wanting to change for something that's really anti-glare, but the seller's pretty rude, and I've actually opened a dispute with them.
Thanks If I don't like the e-cell SP I will give your suggestion a go.

I saw last week a shop selling the invisibleshield for the HD2 and a note that says it reduces sensitivity so need to press extra hard... was a bit too expensive for me.
Hope this helps.
Oh yes just a note. Some of the screen protectors I've tried cause my screen sensitivity to be totally off... you know there's a thread talking about screwed up screen sensitivities, where there are ghost taps, inaccuracies etc? Yes, That definitely happens for me with the invisibleshield, some of the mirror screen protectors.
of course, your experiences may vary. I wouldn't have pinned it down to the screen protectors if I didn't start off with a super good one, with no problems, and problems starting only with some of the other screen protectors and gone once I removed them.
This WILL reduce censitivity but also it will increase friction. meaning, it will be hard to slide your fingers on the screen since you're practially sliding your finger on some non-slide material.

I've got one of those on at the moment. Does work for anti glare and makes the screen less sensitive.
So, I keep getting a problem with ghost touches and grubby fingers and I wanted to get a screen protector. Opinions seem to vary wildly on them, so I was curious what everyone recommends. I was actually looking at the Monoprice ones (since they're under $5 shipped). Has anyone tried the the "high transparency" or "matte finish" ones from here?
http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10843&cs_id=1084307
Or is there another kind you like?
I have these http://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-Anti-Gla...7?pt=AU_TabletAccessories&hash=item3cbd6dd853 and they work really well. Easy to apply as well.

Cool, thanks. I might have to get those. .... I like this part.... "Accessory ONLY. Device not included" ....darn!
Having a spare is nice too!
I use xoskins. They have a lifetime warranty and they look better than anything else
Thanks. I ordered the ones Zires mentioned -- just awaiting shipment. We'll see how they work out, but for $3.11 I'm not out too much.
@ponyboy82,
Still good for me. The matte finish is great.
I am using the one that came with the Aegis case. After about 4 months it has started lift up around the edges so the time may have come for a new one.
Do any of those screen protectors that claim to allow for reading in daylight really work?
thanks you for the info
Just following up... I finally received and applied the screen protector that zires suggested, and it works great. The installation went pretty well -- I used the hot shower trick as well as some tape on a pen to pick up a couple stray pieces of dust. I actually failed to line it up correctly so had to pick the whole thing back up and reapply it, and it still turned out great. This was actually the best screen protector install I've done.
If anyone else is looking for screen protectors, I'd really recommend the matte/anti-glare ones. It sounds like any of them should be about the same. I actually ordered some for a couple of our phones. I haven't tested daylight reading yet, but it definitely cuts down on smudges and glare, and I haven't had ghost touches happen again yet. The NC won't magically get brighter, but just reducing glare should help in daylight. It does cut down on the clarity a little, but overall not too bad.
I really like the Monoprice matte screen protectors -- I've used them on a number of devices (including the NC) and they are extremely durable, they don't have reflection problems, and their surface feels a lot better than some of the other screen protectors I've found on Amazon/E-Bay.
They're the typical static cling type.
Check out ebay, I bout 4 for 5 bucks shipped, I bought screen covers for my phone tablet and all r great quality, they r generic but u won't notice the diffrence

Every now and then it will just start opening files by itself, you can't get it to stop. Wondering if the nook screen protector i'm using could be causing it...it seems to start when i'm in the stock browser. Not rooted but am using a sideloaded launcher.
Yes screen protector can.

I find with my screen protector that I have to wipe the oily prints off. They don't show but they make the device go wonky after a while.

Aside from the screen protector, I also notice that the touchscreen itself is very finicky. I means say if something that need to hit and hold like an icon to get menu popup. It's extremely hard to get the popup, even if you hold it pretty steady. I have nova launcher on both my Nook HD+ and Galaxy Note II, of course we can't compare build material here. Note II is just on another level in term of hardware wise. But the touch is just way more solid on the Note II.

I noticed it too. I think it is something in stock. My CM10 is much better.

If you decide to remove the screen protector, and it no longer behave like it was processed. Would you go into the Accessories forum and post there, please tell us the brand/where you brought also. So other people don't make that $20 mistake.

Indeed, yes, I noticed it too. I figured it was just the way I was holding/clicking it, but I suppose not. It must be either a problem with the hardware, or as leapinlar stated, probably the stock ROM.
i was using one of the B&N clear protectors...I removed it and it still does it though not as bad....i'm hoping it's just the fingerprints causing it. I was in the B&N store earlier looking around, it started clicking on things on it's own, though not as frantic as when i had the screen protector on. With the protector on it was clicking so fast i couldn't get out of it, had to hold down the shutdown button.
i posted about the protector on the accessories forum.
Hm.. that sounds off krighton. I'm starting to think it could be a software issue. But before we dig into that, I think perhaps you should clean your screen as much as you can. If not, then you could try reinstalling your OS. I'm not too sure, is that possible? If so, or even if you can't, see if you can get anything done under warranty; since reinstalling could be a hassle.
I'm not too sure if warranty is available; I purchased the Nook HD+, and it didn't say anything about warranty, although I'd like to know. If anyone knows anything about warranty, could I please ask for your input? Thank you!
should get a standard 1 year warranty with the device....yeah sounds weird, cleaned the screen i 'll see what happens...would hate to mail it back in after rooting.
Just do 8bootloop b4 sending it back. But you should still at least try getting refund forthe screen protector if it cost you $20.
yeah, i'll check that out...actually bought 2, the non glare and the clear....didn't like the non glare so i'll eat that one but the clear should have worked without problems.
Which screen protector did you buy? I'm considering doing Invisible Shield. I have always had good luck with it on my phone.
I'm probably an odd person, but I never use screen protectors. It seems that the glass is tough enough for finger nails and the occasional contact with whatever else. However, I do believe in cases

I did it for fingerprints. The bare HD+ was awful. My anti-glare hides them, but I do have to wipe occasionally to prevent that wonky problem.

I always intend to get a screen protector, but never quite get around to it. That said, my Nook Color's screen is mint after a couple years' use with a case, but without a screen protector. My phone came used with a nick in the screen, but isn't much the worse for wear even bouncing around in my pockets for a year and change.
I haven't had any trouble with the clear B&N screen protector. I'm a believer in screen protectors since I somehow managed to scratch the screen of my first nook while plugging in the usb cable. I find the anti-glare type take away from the sharpness of the screen too much though.
screen is pretty sensitive, just a few fingerprints and it turns pages on its own. Guess i need to find a better screen protector, cleaning the screen several times a day is a bit annoying.
Could rooting have caused any of these problems? When it happens i have to turn off the nook, wipe it down really good and then it works for a while until it starts flipping pages on its own again. Maybe my nook is just hypersensitive to fingerprints.
Bench testing is nearly coming to a close, so today I decided to tackle the horrible glare issue on theses units. The silver bezel pops off fairly easily. This will allow you to apply a tablet screen protector, with no worries of proper alignment. The excess overhang and access holes are then trimmed with a sharp blade. Took less than an hour in all to do.

I've been thinking about doing this. How well did it work out on the glare side? Did it really help at all?

Yet to see how much it helps with direct sun glare, still on the bench. I'm sure it will be useful in diffusing some of it. My main concern was with distracting reflections. The angle of the radio, in a MK6 Jetta, reflects the drivers vision directly to the passenger. I really didn't want to make eye contact, with my passenger, every time I glance at the dash.
I used an iCarez HD Anti-glare screen protector. Very good results for the money, 2-pact on Amazon for under $10

Did you scratch the face of the unit up at all? I really can't see trimming those small holes without doing some damage but maybe I just don't have the right blade.
Looks good!
Thanks. Only one minor scratch, can't really notice. An exacto blades helps for the small holes.
saw these guys on facebook (sponsored post) - looks interesting but i cant find any reviews of their products on youtube etc - no influences or anything!

Looks exactly like this one.

I'm convinced there is only 2 or 3 manufacturers and they just put the glass in different packaging.

Zaggs tempered glass revision 2 has been on the money. I've placed this thing on twice. Once when I got it and, the second time, I removed it from my old unit after a screen burn-in replacement, and place it onto my new unit. No air bubbles and the glass feels high quality, comparable to Whitestone sans the complex installation. It sits on the screen only slightly curving to the edge, and it does sit flush without interfering with the edge tab if I choose to use it. It is quite expensive ($50) but imho, it's quite worth it after successful installation. Highly recommend it!

While I agree with you that it goes on nicely you didn't mention that since it doesn't cover as much screen as other protectors and also has black side bars you get a weird effect where there's screen, black bar, rest of the screen which is quite annoying.

yes there are black borders around SP which the top and bottom part aligns with the phone borders, so no issues there. Depending on an individual's taste, the side borders may be of concern. However, I made no mention of any weird effects as a result from the blk borders and / or the edges not being fully covered because I haven't experienced any negative effects thru general use of the phone. I must also mention, that in some apps, i.e. flipboard the first letters of words that display close to the edge of the screen may be partially blocked by the SP borders. But for me that's not a problem, as i don't experience this issue with most of the apps I use on a daily basis.

No I agree with you, I just thought people should know in case they're looking to purchase it. Like you said, 50 dollars is a lot for a SP especially if you didn't know the bars did that and it bothered you. I'll be keeping mine on until something better comes along, if ever.

i have tried these, good product in terms of clarity and touch sensitivity. the issue i had was that the vertical edges would easily crack with a bit of pressure as they dont seat on the screen as well as they should.
my current solution for using these is to remove the adhesive backing and reapply with loca adhesiveand cure with uv light.

Tested these a month ago. Cracked two working out bubbles. Glass quality is very bad. One cracked on the right side. The other on the bottom using a fingernail to work out a bubble. No chance that this is good 9h tempered glass. Opened a dispute and got both refunded. My opinion, not recommended.
Not recommended too, to narrow, covering edges with black bars completely.

Not recommended too, same bad glass like the one posted and cutting display on the bottom

ok so i purchased one and it arrived yesterday
while applying it i got some dust stuck under the protector, tried to take it out but it wouldnt move
applied it anyway and its pretty good except for the air bubbles near the curved sides of the screen (and the dust particles)
the protector is really fragile too, it chipped and cracked a corner while working out the bubbles - others have complained that theirs cracked for no reason
other than that it actually feels amazing and is compatible with the ringke fusion
ive contacted support, hopefully theyll send me out a new one
I wonder why they disabled comments in their video?
What's the best between this one and Dome Glas ?
I don't like the cut around speaker - face camera ...
A real full cover for front face is the most beautiful but may be not very good for quality of face camera ???
