There is a local mall booth that installs/sells protectors for a decent price, I always like having them do it because guaranteed no bubbles, no shipping time, and $5 replacements for life. I just hope they carry tablet protectors.

Hoping the GreatShield's are available for this. Used it on my A100 and great results.

I am really hoping for a SGP Matte screen protector. Always seems the best for reading.

Ghost Armor asap, I've had it on every device since my HTC hd2 and it works great for me. Stock gorilla glass (I know the n7 doesn't have it but my wife's Lumia does) seems to get greasy to easily. With my s2 if I get a little dirty I just rub on my pants

I normally just use cheap ones of ebay on my phones which work well enough however my father got a samusung 10.1 and I think because of the size the static as you pull off the second layer just sucked any surrounding particles to the skin.

I bought one from bestskinsever which is a wet application one and it worked very well and was decently priced so I'm planning to get one from them for the Nexus and my new HTC One XL.

I sent a query on their site and got an initial automated reply, the more queries they got for the Nexus the quicker they will start making them.

I used to use typical screen protectors, but I feel they are easier to get bubbles and dust stuck under them and are much less forgiving for mistakes. This is an even bigger problem with larger screens.

I now only use wet application screen protectors, such as InvisibleShield (too expensive), BestSkinsEver, and Prestige / XtremeGuard. There are much easier to apply after practicing on other devices, much more forgiving as if you don't align right, you can easily remove as it's still wet and just spray more of the solution on (water + drop of dish detergent). The secret is to make sure it's always wet when applying and then once it's on, squeegee..if it's not on yet, keep it wet. They do have a bit of texture, but I don't mind it.

I ordered XtremeGuard from ebay for $9 shipped.. much cheaper than the alternatives right now and it ships quick from Utah. I also ordered a folio style case specifically for the Nexus 7 from ebay (shipped from Hong Kong) .. i made sure it was specific because others are selling Kindle Fire cases, but this one has specific slots for speaker and other inputs and is under $10.


Also to the person wanting full body skin...it doesn't make sense to cover the soft back of the Nexus 7 with something like InvisibleShield.

Edit: Links if it's alright:

Folio Case (looked for the one that said they'll ship quicker) http://www.ebay.com/itm/251099650308...ht_6110wt_1396

Yeah, I wouldn't go with anything other than XOSkins.

I'm absolutely 100% satisfied with the way they've worked on my Nexus.

I "pre-ordered" my Skinomi case from Amazon last week. They estimate 8/1 as the shipping date. That could mean two weeks without a screen protector. My OCD-ness won't like that.

Have you used an XOSkin to be able compare the two? I'm just curious about Matte protectors.
