Who did NOT put on a screen protector?

[HotShotAzn]

I haven't put one on mine (yet). I have a case that does cover the screen, but who knows something will slide in between and rub up against the screen.

That being said, who HASN'T put on a screen protector and doesn't plan to? I'm kind of against them because not only do I struggle with putting them on, I always find some imperfections (which drives me bonkers).

Just got mine two days ago. Rooted it. Loaded apps. Lovin it and finally, to get to your question, no I have not and don't plan on getting one. Never use them on phones so I don't plan on starting. I really don't think they are needed and I also think they degrade the screen performance. I could be wrong but JMO.

I haven't put one on, have thought about it but since I got my case haven't found the need. I just give it a good wipe of my microfiber cloth once in a while.

I bought some, but putting it on became quite a hassle. I touched the sticky side of one putting a nice fingerprint on it (arg), and I can NEVER get all of the dust / air-bubbles out, so it ends up just driving me nuts.

I ended up trashing them.

If you buy the screen protectors at a B&N store, they will install for you at no extra charge. Plus you get a microfiber cloth. I haven't noticed any degrade in screen performance.

I put the anti-glare screen protector on the day I got my NC. I've been happy with it and the anti-glare version goes on incrediblincredibly easy as it's a bit thicker than the regular kind. Just thought I'd share for those of you who want one but hate putting them on.

I did the exact same thing.

I did not have one on mine as I plan on trying to exchange it again, but I bought a screen protector for a laptop from $5 Below and cut it to fit..
Works nicely

 

[HotShotAzn]

While I know B&N would put one on for me, I have other things to spend the $15 (or so) dollars on. Plus there's no guarantee the person there will install it to meet my OCDness.

Same here, I put mine on about 15 minutes after opening it. Haven't had any problems. I used the water/baby shampoo spray with it that came with my BodyGaurdz for my phone and it went on without any problems. Within 20 minutes all the water was gone and the protector wasn't even noticeable

I feel that Im pretty good at putting them on. I use the dry install type like Realook for all my phones and the B&N anti glare for the NC. This is what I do if you ever want to give it a try. Make sure everything is laid out and ready. Turns fans off if your room has one, close windows, etc..

1. Wash your hands throughly, important that all oil comes off
2. Spray the air with some sort of cleaner. My favorite is Monster Cable LCD TV cleaner
3. Clean the device with cleaner and microfiber cloth
4. Spray air again around your area you are working, wait a few secs for it to fall from air
5. Remove a very small portion of the backing enough to line up the entire bottom edge of protector
6. with protector lined up, use a credit card or squeegee to push protector on while backing automatically comes off all the way up.

this leaves minimal bubble and works for me almost every single time. your hands really never touch any sticky side and when you slide the squeegee up it automatically removes the backing for you. I have yet to trash a protector and have to get another. if you have dust, then carefully pull back and use a toothpick to get the dust particle off and reapply. Hope this helps someone.

i bought this tablet over other comparable android tabs (gtab, archos, etc) due to its beautiful screen. no way im putting a screen protector over it. i use one on my phone, but only because it travels in my pocket.

I bought the anti-glare protector from B&N. I used a microfiber cloth thing that came with this windshield cleaning kit I got for Christmas to clean the screen and went over it a few times with the supplied cloth to remove dust. I was able to apply the protector without trapping a single air bubble, piece of lint, fingerprint or anything else. While it hasn't done much for reducing glare, it has helped tremendously with fingerprint grease and in reducing the friction between my finger and the screen.

This sums up my experience as well. It's worth it just for the fingerprint protection.

I have learned that going in the bathroom, turning on the shower and allowing the steam to take the dust out of the air is the only way to ensure that there are no air bubbles.

I also have nearby some scotch tape so that if there is a speck of dust or lint, I can apply the tap to the sticky side of the screen protector without getting my fingerprints all over it.

Thanks, I think I might have to have another go at it.

Been naked on 4 previous smart phones. Currently naked on DroidX, Viewsonic Gtab and Nook color. Haven't had any problems with any of the devices.

My phones i usually put one on there because i put it in and out of pocket but Nook color is also naked for me besides a Hard case snap cover I got off eBay.
