My last Skinomi on my phone ended up peeling off, but fwiw the skin seemed very durable and strong. Almost like a thin plastic cover. I could still dock my phone with the skin on.

I like the metal finish, so no skinomi for me this round.

I've used several skins (zagg, skintech, skinomi). I like the skinomis better than the others. Just get the screen cover, not the full jacket. Installing has always been easy and I've only experience problems when dust gets under the corners, like on my epic 4g after I've taken it in and out of my pocket a million times. I can't imagine with the prime it's going to get much dust under the corners. I think it makes the screen touch feel better as well, and then you never have to worry what you wipe the screen with. The dry covers to me, add a strange thickness and change the optics of viewing the screen... Just my 10 cents!

I really like my skinomi screen protector. Pretty nice feel, not too much of a difference if any in sensitivity. Its as close to invisible as I figure it will get. The bubbles were also impressive, because they sort of "breathed" out of the skin. It was odd to see considerable bubbles disappear in hours.

I was gonna put my skinomi protector on but I stuck with just the skin because my prime is usually in the dock so the chances of scratching in the dock are very unlikely

I have both the skinomi carbon fiber skin and the wet-application screen protector on mine, both are fantastic.

Putting the vinyl back and tiny pieces on is soooo much easier with a heat gun! A really hot hair dryer would probably suffice, but you will need one or the other.

I want a clear screen protector too and I wouldn't mind having something clear for the back but I don't want it messing up if I eventually get the dock. So the Skinomi is one of the best. I found cheaper ones on Amazon like 3 for 8.99 and I found this one 2-Pack Stealth Shieldz© ASUS eee Pad TRANSFORMER PRIME TF201 Screen Protector LIFETIME WARRANTY (Ultra CLEAR) for 14.99 and you get two. I want whatever will be easy for him to put on and what will look the most invisible and still be able to have good touch sensitivity. Should I put a clear skin on the back too? Does Skinomi sell a combo pack with both in it? Thanks!

Has anyone had any experience with the Skinomi full-body protector and the TF Prime keyboard dock?

I want to get a skin for the back of the tablet mainly to prevent fingerprints (this thing is a fingerprint factory) but I also have the keyboard dock and I don't want to shell out for a skin if the dock is just gonna scrape it off.
