Are you serious right now? Dude, it's one thing to share FREE stuff to everyone in the community, but everything in what you just said is not cool. Developers spend lots of their free time working hard for **** on here, and if they want to charge for it on the Android Market legally, you shouldn't be ripping them off in any way, just like you woudn't go into a Best Buy and take a TV off the wall. I believe your mentality doesn't match up with "most of us here" as it's a 'criminal' mentality. XDA doesn't condone piracy of ANYTHING, so I would watch what you do if I were you.

Anyone familiar with Skinomi? I went looking for the Transformer on Amazon (no luck here yet) and noticed this Skinomi company selling a screen protector and carbon fiber back thingy for the Transformer: http://amzn.to/hDSr1m

I've always gone w/ Bodyguardz and BSE, but I'm not sure if I want the "rubbery" feel type protector this time around.

My wife recently got a protector for her nook and it's much smoother when dragging around on a touch display. It was more rigid/plastic film - as opposed to rubbery like Bodyguards (and I'm assuming that Skinomi).

She got it from an ebay seller, but there's no description there on what the actual material is: http://cgi.ebay.com/3x-SCREEN-PROTE...625?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cf61a5df9

Anyone know what the more rigid/plasticy film types are referred to as - and who might sell them for tablets? :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] JimmyHACK:
Have used skinomi screen protectors on past few phones and ipad1/2 and on xoom. I know some devices have gorilla glass, but i just like it being covered. Skinomi is my personal favorite after trying others like invisishield from zagg
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] 07aspenx:
I am currently using the skinomi screen protector and carbon fiber skin protector on my gtab. I really like the product and would recommed it. I'm in the process of selling my gtab and picking up the Asus transformer if I can find one at a local bestbuy.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] jbryan3:
Skinomi protectors are great for tablets that need one. The Transformer has Gorilla glass so no protector is needed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] lacrossev:
Looking for a hard plastic (not film) screen protector myself. From what i'm reading it seems like the skinomi is a film, so it may be slightly grippy/textured like invisibleshields and bodyguardz. As for the back, the transformer's back is textured so i'm not sure how well the body film would adhere, if it was clear it has a big chance of looking like crap as it may not be able to get a tight fit, and if it was patterned, hell it might not even stick well and start peeling near the corners in short order.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] lislis816:
How does the skinomi do with anti-glare? I want to get something mainly for the glare rather than the protection. Any suggestions?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] iron_pyrite:
I had the skinomi screen protector on my viewsonic gtablet but took it off after using it for about half a day. The material impaired the sensitivity of the screen when dragging. In Sketchbook mobile, this looked like a randomly broken line. Pressing harder didn't help the matter. Nor did recalibrating the screen.

On the plus side, there was no damage when taking it off!

I didn't see any significant improvement in viewing angle with the protector on the screen. As for glare, I never had my tablet out in bright sunlight but you could still see the reflected image of nearby light sources pretty clearly on the screen.

My 2 cents is that it's not worth it. The gorilla glass on these transformers is tough enough to resist scratches from dirty fingers and occasionally bumping from car keys and the like.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Android-hotness:
I bought two for the wifey and I. We actually like the feel of the screen protector. I'm super excited, I was one of the lucky few that got my order in at bestbuy when it was released on the 26th. Wished I paid for faster shipping though, but I will get it tomorrow.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] corwinmortac:
I had a skinomi on my gtablet, with none of those issues. Its also the same material i have on my EVO. This is a wet apply skin, with the front it can take up to 24hrs for the screen to set and cure correctly, if you have moisture, or any creases , it will not work right. I recommend watching the video on the skinomi site for reference. The cool thing about the material though is that if you screw up you can carefully peel off and spray down and reapply. I have seen a lot of people in various reviews boo hoo the wet apply type protectors and I have to say that if done right they rock. I have already ordered one for mine because even though we have gorilla glass the skin will be easier to wipe smudges and oily fingerprints from and gives the screen a nice squishy tactile feel.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] funnycreature:
I sent them an email asking for a set consisting of screen protector, tablet skin and keyboard skin. Here's their reply:

Since I *love* how the carbon fiber skin feels on my Xoom I think I'll try it once the keyboard skin is out.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] nsstrunks:
I ordered the screen protector + carbon fiber skin for the TF (should get here late next week), can't wait for it to come in.

I love the feel of the Skinomi protector on my D1.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] grehdaemon:
Got one in the mail, will report back after I get it

I just placed my order directly on skinomi.com. Its free shipping, and the 34.99 kit includes a body skin and screen protector. Apply the "get25" discount code to get 25% off, and its free US shipping. I hope I like it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Hessinger:
How does this with preventing fingerprints?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] patseei:
So,i got it. Very nice. doesn't even look like you got a flim installed on it. Smooth. Love it!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] funnycreature:
This post is worthless without pics :D

Did you also get the skin?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] patseei:
Here you go. Quick and dirty pic :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] funnycreature:
That's how we like it muahahah!

How is the overall fit? The one for my Xoom was a good millimeter to small on each side. Does the one for the TF fit "all the way"? I think I'll order one soon unless there's one coming out with better anti-glare properties :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] patseei:
it fits very well. the width is just a tad smaller, but nothing noticeable if you apply it right in the center, mine was a little off center by tiny bit. Overall very pleased with quality and their service.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] corwinmortac:
I know I have gushed about how I like the skinomi....here is another reason...ordered direct from them on Friday again , this time for my tf that gets here tomorrow. The skin went from CA to Dallas over the weekend and got here today.

Love fast shipping .... Plus who else packages in a tube ?

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] RMXO:
Lucky you. I ordered a few weeks ago & I have yet to receive it. I did send them an email asking about it & they refunded my $ back & gave me a complimentary screen protector when it delivered. Supposedly, they said its coming soon, so who knows. Was nice of them though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] corwinmortac:
Ive always received a usps shipping number, did you not get one?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] RMXO:
I did but there was no info when I looked it up & I paid for 2-3 day shipping. Been almost 2 weeks now. It shouldn't take this long.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] DevCake:
Can those of you who have the Skinomi tell me if it reduces glare and fingerprints?

~DC
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] nsstrunks:
Just received mine in the mail today as well. Went ahead and snapped a couple pictures.

These were all snapped with my D1 so the quality isn't great but you get the idea.

Package contents... it came in a tube! (as pictured earlier by another member) I opted in for the ~$10 carbon fiber skin, I had to set it under some books for it to flatten out before I applied it.

A close up of the instructions for anyone curious how it's applied and have never done it before. If you can't read it, lemme know and I can type portions of it out.

After the back skin was applied. Looks pretty good. I took a round tipped click pen (with the tip clicked in) and pushed on the skin so that the ASUS logo still shows up. I like the effect it gives and have worked on it more since this shot was taken.

A close up shot of the bottom of the TF. The carbon fiber skin isn't quick big enough to fit it perfectly so there's a little bit of a gap at the bottom (unless you want to cover the camera some :\). If anyone else gets one of Skinomi's skins, I recommend trying to stretch it some after it's heated with a hair dryer or something to get a better fit.

And a quick shot after I had just finished applying the screen protector bit. As mentioned earlier, there's about a 1mm gap unless you get it perfectly centered... then it's hard to tell. (I didn't know this after I had applied it and don't feel like reapplying it right now)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] funnycreature:
That's awesome thanks! There seem to be the exact same issues that I had with the skinomi for the Xoom: too small and not a perfect fit. What I find discouraging is that on the website they show pictures of the back with the ASUS logo neatly cut out. But when you look closely you can see that it's just a Photoshop image :/ I think I'll still order though since I liked the feel and look of the carbon fiber. I might cut out the ASUS. logo though since the bumps look weird.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] DevCake:
I had that kit for my Archos 101, I like the look of the TF as is, just need to reduce glare and fingerprints

~DC
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] dark_aura:
Thanks for the pictures!

Do you have the dock? I need to know if the TF can be connected to the dock with the back skin installed, if it's a tight fit or not...
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] nsstrunks:
I don't have the dock yet. But the back skin is so thin, that I don't think it would be a problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] spuniun:
Just got my screen protector. This was my first time doing a wet application and I'm not extremely thrilled with my results but it's good enough for now and i know what to do differently next time. This screen cover is a huge improvement over the bare glass for handling those greasy fingerprints, however its texture makes it prone to snag things like a dragging fingernail, errant pen point or other hard object. It's only been on for about 15 minutes and there's already a couple damaged spots. It's also no better for glare reduction as it's nearly as glossy as the bare glass.

Thanks for the coupon code. Just ordered the Carbon Fiber set.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] thatsiebguy:
I applied mine last night (just the screen). I've wrapped countless items with Invisible Shield (ipad, iphone, droidx, macbook pro, etc) and this stuff is noticeably thinner than IS. The squeegee they give you sucks, I ended up using the nice rubber one I got with my last IS kit. It didn't dry as nicely as my IS skins, and I have scuff marks on it from the squeegee which I never got with IS. I can scuff it with my fingernail, which I can't do with IS.

Once I get my dock, I will probably take it off and wait till Zagg releases a kit for this, or get a sheet and cut my own.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] funnycreature:
Just ordered the black carbon fiber and screen protector. Although I have to agree with the previous poster I think the Skinomi is OK and currently the only one readily available!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] pogul:
I went ahead and ordered the Black Carbon Fiber kit from Amazon too: http://amzn.to/hDSr1m :cool:
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] iron_pyrite:
Well, I'm pretty confident that I did it right when I installed it. Having put similar skins on two of my previous cell phones, I'm familiar with the wet-apply protectors. Even so, I watched the install video before I did it and, with life getting in the way of playtime, wound up letting the screen cure for close to 30 hours. The install was perfect, IMO - no creases and no moisture or bubbles under the skin that I could see.

I also saw that smudges aren't as obvious with the screen protector on - it has a rougher surface than the gorila glass and will break up the reflection of the oil smudges. But I find that cleaning the gorilla glass with a weak alcohol-water solution and a microfiber cloth once in awhile mitigates the smudge problem pretty well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] psicrest:
Just bought skinomi screen protector. Its so thin and it sucks, it already has bunch of scratches just from applying it using the squegee. My screen now looks horrible.

Edited:

I talked to their customer support and i emailed them the pictures of what happened to my screen protector and they told me they are going to send me a replacement screen protector. Their customer service is preety awesome, they told me that the applicator i have might me a little bit strong thats why the plastic tends to crumple after it dries.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] RMXO:
I just applied my Skinomi & man it was way easier than SGP's screen protectors. Can't wait to see when it properly drys but its looking good so far. I'm sold on Skinomi's.

For all the peeps that bought the back skin, does it get hotter with the skin on after long periods of use?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] vicci:
I use it on my G tab on a back/front and like it very much. I think, this is the best screen protector available.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] trancemode:
Just purchased the silver carbon fiber one! :D can't wait.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] benmyers2941:
If you're looking for anti-glare I'd go with ViewGuard. It's a hard plastic and thicker than the wet application options. I have one on my laptop and it dramatically reduces the reflectiveness and it hasn't reduced the touch sensitivity on it at all. It's what I plan on getting for mine when it gets here. Yes, I have a mutli-touch capacitive screen on my laptop. :cool:
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] funnycreature:
I installed the Skinomi screen protector and carbon fiber skin last night. I am fairly pleased with it although the carbon fiber skin does not fit perfectly. It also appears that one of the small pieces for one side is missing but I'll contact Skinomi. I did not install the parts for the front since I like the metal as it is there :) The tablet still fits the dock although it is a bit tougher to get it in.

The screen protector is very nice and feels good, helps a little with the reflection. Unfortunately, I have two tiny dust particles trapped underneath but I'm not sure they are worth the hassle removing it again.

Now I'm waiting for them to release the skin for the dock!

BTW - In my skin the ASUS logo was cut out!

I got my wet screen proctector the otherday and been procrastinating putting it on because it looks hard, so how hard is it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] funnycreature:
It's a lot easier than it sounds. The layer of liquid makes adjustments easy. Just make sure you hold it in place when squeezing out the excess liquid!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] wingzero2085:
I have a skinomi screen protector on my g-tablet, and I have to say I'm less than impressed. My first experience with Skinomi was not a good one either-- due to the tube packaging, the first one I received had peeled off the backing and stuck to itself. I contacted them for a replacement and sent photos. They said they'd ship it out immediately. About a month went by and I got nothing after repeated promises. I contacted them again and complained, and they promptly issued me a refund and offered me another replacement. Finally, the original replacement showed up (how, I don't know because what they had done was put the packing slip on the outside of the package and the shipping label inside), but the 2nd replacement was never shipped.

Also -- the carbon fiber skin fit was terrible. The first one barely lined up properly on the back of the tablet, while the 2nd one was even worse. The edge pieces left huge gaps when lined up properly. Needless to say, I will be waiting for Zagg to come up with a screen protector for the transformer.

That's just my experience & 2 cents -- YMMV.

Anyone know if I can easily cut it to fit?

Just wait a bit for the adhesive to stick before squeezing out the liquid. That way it won't move. And KEEP TOWELS IN HAND! You don't want the excess liquid to get into any hole/gap, do you? ;)

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] X7og:
Are you able to remove and fix after it has been on there for a few days? Like can you take it off and rinse it and re apply? Is the spray special? Our would water work aswell
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] funnycreature:
You will have to add a tiny bit of detergent, be it hand soap, shampoo or dish detergent. I have not tried to remove it personally but the company claims it's possible!
