[Q] Screen Protectors

[klau1]

What are the compatible screen protectors available for the HP Touchpad?

Are the dimensions of the screen identical to the iPad 1 or 2?

I've always like phantom skinz. I've had their screen protectors on all my phones and i'm getting my touchpad today and plan on hittin the mall to get it protected by them as well. Easier to do it at a place cause they install it and a has a lifetime warranty

idk if you would have one in your area but you can check out their site

How does phantom skinz compare to a zagg invisible shield? What is the finish like? I dont mind the "orange peel" texture on the backing but i like a smooth, glassy, texture for the screen. IE. i have zagg on the back of my captivate but i have a reallook cover for my screen.

to be honest I like the phantomskinz feel better. I had Zagg on my ipod touch when I had it and in my opinon I feel like phantom skinz has a more smooth feel but thats just me

I have the Zagg on my Capitvate and I also put one on the TouchPad. I think it looks great! I have had it on my Cappy for a year without a mark on it. Great warranty too!

does anyone know whether iPAD screen protectors that are widely available locally free of shipping charges and wait time fit on the HP Touchpad considering they are both 9.7 " ??

The X/Y dimensions of the iPad 1 and 2 are almost identical and the bezel around the glass seems to be of similar thickness too. The problem is that the iPad's are a little more square in the corners and thus an iPad protector applied to the Touchpad might jut out from the corners a bit. Someome wanna pick up some of the dirt cheap (and quite decent) protectors from Monoprice and let us know? It seems I won't be getting my Touchpad for a while or I would do it.

iPad 1st generation: 243 mm X 190mm
iPad 2nd generation: 240mm x 186mm
Touchpad: 240mm x 190mm

I recommend ordering some other stuff since overnight shipping (the cheapest one) is ~$4 and if you add a few wires and such it's still ~$4. (well it's $4 for me where I am at least)

iPad screen protector fits HP TouchPad?

So I picked up a iPad screen protector because it was effectively half a dollar and it was 9.7", I though that will fit the TouchPad...

Now becasue I haven't got my hands on one just now, I wondered if actually fits...

Could someone please confirm this or what?

I have been informed that it "fits" but how well on the corners?

Thanks

If you have a pair of scissors ... sure.

The TouchPad is ever so slightly wider than the original iPad.

How are the corners on this vs a iPad? I do not have either in hand so I have no clue.

How well does it fit without taking scissors to it?

Not really worth it tbh. getting the cut for the camera as well is quite hard. managed to get hold of an ipad £1 screen protector. now after that bought a 3 pack of ebay for hp touchpad for £4.29. for that extra amount well worth it and bought extra in case i managed to mess one up, and one as a backup.

Works great, I did the same, just cut the corners and about 1/4 inch off the bottom and 1/8 off the top and line the camera hole up.

I flat out forgot there is a camara, I dont be using it for sure. Apart from that? How well will it fit? I have oily fingers,And now matter how much I clean my desire screen still seems dirty, Friiends desire does not have that issue due to screen protecter...

I am terrible at cutting a straight line...

Get yourself a metal straight edge and a razor blade or X-acto knife. A round paper punch will work for the camera.
