Screen Protection?
- Thread starter bob_george
- Start date
I have one on my captivate, my laptop and have ordered one for my tab. I will say they are definitely not for everyone. So heres how I would describe it:
-100% will protect your screen from scratches (micro and major). Even gorilla glass will scratch.
- Feels like a orange peel or rubber/plastic on the screen. I love it, some ppl really hate it.
- After cleaning it, you might notice your finger catching a bit on swipes and drags. Its minor but some people again like that super slick glass feel for a touch screen and thats understandable.
- Might have some small bubbles after applying. They WILL go away over time, I promise.

Those wet application orange peel ones all suck.
Static screen protectors are much easier to try and remove if you dont like them.

Not sure if the GT has gorilla glass but my Evo does and i have dropped it atleast 6x i the year i have owned it. All 4 corners got marks and i even managed to drop it face down in a compacted gravel parking lot. It slid after it landed face down! Still not one scratch when im sure normal glass would have spider webbed. So if its gorilla glass dont need a screen protector baby!
On my phone? Absolutely. On the Tab? I don't think it's necessary. I've had my ipad since it launched without a screen protector, and don't have a single scratch, because when I'm not using it, it's in a case

What gorilla glass? I haven't seen anything that 'officially ' states the 10.1 having gorilla glass

I'll call them tomorrow and double check.
The IO edition uses a different display than the retail. So it is possible the glass is different as well.
I was trying to find documentation on the web a while back. Only videos I found were for the 10.1v. I contacted Samsung and they assured me that it does.

I'm not too worried about the screen scratching, but it picks up fingerprints way too easily. I need to buy an oleophobic screen protector that won't collect fingerprints and oils, just haven't found one that is a decent price and has some positive reviews.
I hate the fingerprint smudges as well. I saw a post a while back. Someone recommended to use a special solution on the screen that will help. Can't find the post unfortunately.

I'm not a big fan of the smudges either but you only notice them when the display is off or you're viewing the screen from a wide angle. When I'm using it right in front of me, I can't even see them and I know it has a lot of smudges on it.
Like others said, it's not my phone so it won't be directly exposed to keys or other things that may scratch it. I can't wait for my Samsung book case to arrive to I feel better about it sitting out when I'm not using it.

Boxwave Cleartouch Anti-Glare is really good at resisting fingerprints, if you don't mind a matte screen (I prefer a matte anti-glare on all my mobile devices)
Wasn't available yet, last time I checked, for the GTAB 10.1 but I'm sure it will be out shortly. Have one on my XOOM and my GTAB 7.
Are there any pics or videos of this on the web? I've never used anti glare screens I feel like its going to drop the screen quality.

I saw a Zagg at Best Buy for $29. Worth it? I know i do not want to scratch the screen.
