Anyone using a screen protector?

[lardo5150]

If so, which kind?
Trying to find one as transparent as possible. I was actually thinking of getting this and just cutting it (cause it is cheap).

Personally, I wouldn't try cutting a screen protector in order to make it fit, especially when there are protectors specifically made for the TF700 that aren't much more.

I remember trying to cut one before and it was not easy - It ended up looking like crap - it seems that when you cut them, the edges sometimes don't stick as well.

You should be able to find TF700-specific protectors on Ebay for a few bucks.. If you are just looking for a clear protector (instead of anti-glare), they will all look just fine (you don't have to worry about transparency - they'll all be completely transparent).

Now, anti-glare is a different story - there are huge differences in quality that will affect the screen clarity. Usually, with anti-glare, you get what you pay for (but there are exceptions).

Avoid cutting to fit

Yeah I second not cutting to fit. The edges never seem to come out any good and it usually just looks really dodgy.

Transparency shouldn't be to much of an issue even with the cheap protectors. While there aren't many accessories around I am just going with some cheap protectors off ebay. Just upgrade later if you aren't satisfied.

Anyone using one they really like and could recommend?

I'm using Poetic Profilm. Pretty cheap and great quality. While it's actually a clear screen, I find it reduces glare significantly. It is also heaps better for fingerprints than the natural screen. I only got 1 bubble on the edge of the screen cause I missed a piece of dust when I was cleaning the screen... very easy to put on. All in all i'm very happy with the covers.

FYI - if you want to get that piece of dust out, here's a tip - use a piece of scotch tape to lift up the corner with the dist speck and then use another piece of scotch tape topick up the actual piece of dust. Then just lay the protector back down and the bubble should be gone.

I've used this method a few times and it works great...

I use the ACASE transparent 3-pack film. I had good experiences with them in the past. Their Film is 3-layer Japanese PET and it feels very nice to the touch and durable. I also got a screen protector included with a recent skinomi purchase but I am happy with my ACASE screen protector so I'll just keep that in storage.

between the ACASE, Poetic, and Skinomi - how do these all feel to touch? Are they rubbery like some of the smart phone protectors?

I want to go anti-glare and reduce finger prints but I don't want the yellowing effect or a rubbery to touch feel.

Appreciate the feedback all

Usually, with Anti-glare, it actually allows your finger to slide better than it would on the naked screen. That is certainly the case with any I've used (including the current Poetic anti-glares that I'm using). They give a much better finger glide than the glass screen - no rubbery effect at all.

What I'm trying to compare is the touch/feel/no-prints I have on my Matte screen protector but the downside is, it degrades the screen significantly. So I'm a bit more willing to deal with some prints to keep the screen as beautiful as possible.

Is the Poetic a wet or dry apply?

 

[jtrosky]

Poetic is a dry system - no residue if you decide to remove it...

There is no doubt that it degrades the screen quality, however, I still have mine on - so that says something (it doesn't degrade it to the point where it looks bad or anything). The pros outweigh the cons in my opinion - but it's a very "personal" decision that only you can make, to be honest...

Zagg tf201 front and back covers on my tf700 and works fine. A little snug in the dock thought.

I've heard that the Zagg protectors are actually more "sticky" than the naked glass alone. They also have an "Orange Peel" texture to them, which most find annoying....

I hate the dirty screen so I have always felt good for my cell phone screen saver.

Well, after a week or two of having the Poetic anti-glare protector on my TF700, I finally decided to remove it.... I was fine with it until I saw how nice the naked screen on my new Nexus 7 looked in comparison.

I must say, the anti-glare *did* ruin the TF700 display - it's such a beautiful display - I was wrong in keeping in "hidden" behind that anit-glare protector!!
