Best screen protector?

[mklass]

As the title suggest.

Any one recommend a good screen protector for the tab?

When I was looking, I simply paid attention to the holes made for the light sensor and camera on the front. Found an inexpensive protector on Amazon that fit my criteria of quality workmanship in that regard and went for it.

I dug around on ebay for quite a while and it seems there are some nice ones available there also, but the better ones seem to ship from hong kong, which was an issue for me because I want mine protected from day one.

I just popped in to CPW and they now have the invi-sheild, However at £15 I will not be getting that one.

Gonna have a look around on play.com, amazon.co.uk and so on...

I just received the cheap silicon skin I ordered for my Galaxy Tab. It's just great for my usage pattern, it adds protection, grip, and doesn't increase the footprint of the tablet form factor. Back to topic:

The screen protector that came with the silicon skin (as part of a bundle) is really cheap, both in price and quality ! It arrived with marks on it, and it adds a foggy layer on top of the otherwise beautiful glass screen of the Tab.

Conclusion: in my opinion, and based on the glass technology used to manufacture the Tab display, a screen protector is totally unnecessary ! A much better use of money is to get a decent skin to protect the plastic parts of the tablet.

I gotta agree... Gorilla glass used in the Tab is supposed to be really hard to scratch... but if there is a good protector out there, I would use it anyway... but the back was what I was more afraid of. Being plastic and curved slightly, I foresee the back getting a large worn out mark in the center very easily. I would rather not use a Silicone case if I could, Hence the front and back protector set I posted in post 2.... or one of those other full body screen protectors...

For now, I am really careful how I lay down my Tab...

I actually never removed the factory transparent plastic sheet on the back, to protect the white shiny surface against scratches !
It is still there, even though I now use the silicon skin all the time. On the rare occasion when I remove the rubbery skin that protects against sharp knocks, the plastic cover is still there to avoid a bad accidental scratch.
As for the display, it is plenty strong enough, unlikely to be scratched by regular activities and associated risks (like keys in pocket, small bangs against furniture when carried in jacket sleeve, etc). The plastic body is likely to be the weak point in the device, not the tough glass.

mklass mentioned the Invisible Shield range of protectors.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any other brand that was as tough without having the same horrible tacky finish to it.

Don't buy the screen protector from Vikuiti Displayschutzfolie DQC160, because after that you can't use the buttons. There is no way!!!

I like FoliX FX-Antireflex screen protector Samsung Galaxy Tab which you can get by amazon.

I got the antiglare screen protector from tmobile when I bought mine.
It covers the whole front and had a cutout for the front facing camera.

Used modified Ipad screen protector for the front and maintained the sticky stock plastic for the back.

i dont know any good screen protectors but for the back i love my SKINITs from skinit.com

the skinit uses a 3m high end sticker i have one on my evo and i put that thing thru hell yeah the back is scratched but its the sticker not the phone

 

[latinmaxima]

Agreed I will likely use the skinit as well as I used in on my instinct, moment, will use on my epic probably and will use on my tab once I pick one up!

online Zagg.com 50% discount code

I just ordered my Sam. Gal. Tab skin from zagg because of a 50% discount code they sent me for site-wide products on ZAGG.com. You can use the discount code one time during checkout before November 26th, 2010. Your discount code is good for up to 3 more items only and I am assuming it's available to anyone not just past customers like myself. Hope this helps you and the Code is: cn3jnpz44

I picked up the Zagg full-body kit from my local Futureshop (big box retailer, owned by Best Buy). Was pricey at $39 CAD (a bit more than I'd pay after shipping from Zagg in the US).

I bought it for the back protection more than anything else, and more grip on the back. For that, it works great, there's a LOT of friction from this thing, to the point where it almost won't budge when I try to push it on a marble counter top. It's a bit more glossy than I'd like, hoping that fades once it fully dries.

After a few months with my Galaxy S, the only thing that looks worn is the plastic back, didn't want the same thing to happen to the Tab, which is much heavier and more likely to grind little bits of dirt into the plastic. Samsung knows glass, they don't do so well with picking quality plastics.

The screen protector sheet isn't going to be used at all, since I HATE the snatchy feel of InvisibleShield on a capacitive screen, and the little ripples that never go away, and this one is no different. Once again, after months of use, my Gorilla-glassed Galaxy S screen still looks like new, (as did my Milestone with the same type of glass), expect the same from the Tab.

Actually, I'm sure I will use the front protector...it'll be cut up and used to protect the back of something smaller.

Try Martin Fields. . . I have been using them for all my devices. Works great on the touchscreen of my HD2, iPod Touch 2g. . . No problem with the touch sensitivity, they are fantastically bright (not crap like invisible skin which turns yellow with age and starts peeling) and actually provides a better and smoother surface for the finger to glide on the touchscreen. Gonna order one for my brand new tab today (purchased tge tab only yesterday and immediatelly rooted it)B-)

I have the Zagg, and am happy with it. I had best buy install it, and had to go twice because the first time it sucked. The second was much better, and I am satisfied. The lifetime guarantee is a good thing.

I just ordered a Realook protector for my Tab as that's what I currently have on my Galaxy S and, aside from the slightly off-centre speaker hole (my fault), you can't even tell it's there. Pretty sturdy, too, the phone gets lots of pocket-time and it's not beat up at all.
