Hey guys, I'm just wondering what do you think the best screen protector for the Nook is?

I'm looking for clarity mostly, but feel is important too.

I usually wouldn't ask such a basic question, but after 20 minutes of googling there doesn't seem to be anyone who's asked this question before lol. I don't understand it either because I know not all screen protectors are made equally, so there has to be some comparison but I can't find anything.


Thanks.


edit: Then again, if I get a case do I need a screen protector? Hmm.......I can't even decide if I want a case or just keep it in a neoprene bag.

I tried serveral different screen protectors for my NST, but found that they all add a significant amount of glare. One of the best things about this device is daylight readability in direct sunlight, and they all ruined that experience, so I just do without.

I have mine in a silicone cover, and put it in a zipped rigid cover for travel. So far, so good. This thing cost so little that I'd rather maximize enjoyment rather and use it rater than obsess about its health. Carpe Diem and all that.

The NSTG doesn't need a screen protector, and adding one can actually cause issues, the NST only sort of suggests using one and honestly you'd be fine without one.

The thin sheet of material that comprises most screen protectors wont do anything to protect the NST/G screens. But it adds another layer between you and the text, and can block the infrared sensors on the Nook.
