It's pretty nice. It's not totally anti glare though. However, it does a great job in defusing the glare. You'll still see smudges but definitely not as bad without one. The hardest thing with any screen protectors, especially ones of this size is the dust when applying. it's unavoidable. Best method I found is a lot of scotch tape :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] findmike:
Not really unavoidable - steam up the bathroom a little with a hot shower - moisture pulls the dust down - never had a perfect application till I did that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] verkion:
These guys also make one of the best screen protectors...but super expensive as I'm sure you already noticed. Runner's up to them (well pretty much exactly the same), are the Steinheil ones. Benefit there is that they are far more affordable too.

Thanks!

so was anybody able to find a good matte screen protector? I played with my friend's TF w/ the skinomi screen protector and didn't like it much. It was pretty glossy which didn't really help with glare and reflections, attracted some fingerprints, and made the screen felt less smooth.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Anonnie:
So I ordered my screens from ViewGuard on the 26th of May. Aaaaand still waiting. They did not have them in stock (yet were quick to take the money), and did not notify me that they were out, so I started to inquire about it.

After going back and forth, they finally decided to figure out the problem said they would ship it on the 31st, sooo I wait and look up their shipping, and it was not set to ship until after 5PM on the 1st. So just be aware of what you may be getting into.

So in the meanwhile, I went over to the local staples and picked up a Belkin MatteScreen Overlay for the Xoom. The hole for the camera was easily remedied with a mini-hole punch, and it actually fits ~85% of the surface (about 1/4" from the edges of the metal).

It feels great, screen is still sensitive, easy to glide, and no glare. It dropped onto the screen clean and easily with no bubbles at all. If you know how to place it ahead of time, and clean the surface well, when you pull the overlay off of the plastic protector on the back side, it will create a static charge and literally 'grab' the screen perfectly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] newtybar:
This looks great! Thanks for posting it. Does it make the colors any less vibrant?

edit: ehhh I couldn't wait and just ordered it. My TF will be here on Wed, this should arrive on Tues. LIFE IS GOOD!

Phantom Skinz has those full shields or chromatics that come with screen protectors that fit the entire screen. I ordered mine along with my TF, so I should get my TF by tomorrow, monday the latest. I've used Phantom Skinz for 2 devices already
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] faithblinded:
I got my Posrus protector and was unimpressed. One of the corners was uncut, so it wouldn't sit flush on the screen. I was not wide enough to cover the entire glass surface. I failed to get it on without dust, and every time I used tape i just made it worse. The two holes were spaced correctly.

As to it's anti reflective properties, it was decent. It kills alot of the glare, and seems to make fingerprints far less obvious. The tradeoff is a small amount of what I would call "bloom" from the screen. It seems to be diffusing a very small amount of the screens light, creating the bloom effect I'm seeing. It's not much, and probably a fair trade off for what you get. Just trying to lay it all out for others to decide.

My dissatisfaction largely stems from the uncut corner, and the slightly incorrect size. Also from my failure to get it on dust free, but I can't give posrus full blame for that. Their instructions were ok but not great regarding keeping the adhesive side dust free whilst simultaneously keeping the application bubble free. In future I will absolutely use the humid bathroom tip to hopefully nail a dust free application.

Posrus promptly gave me a refund, so no worries about doing business with them, they seem like great folks.

Hope that helps. Still waiting for the perfect fit "no-glare" protector.

I just got the Skinomi Carbon Fiber Screen Protector / Kit thing, I put the screen protector on. It says give it 2-3 days to fully settle for a clear protector. After just a few hours, the thing looks amazing. I took my time putting it on though. It's not hard, just you need to keep every single spot wet. My opinion, its a great product.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Sinistereo:
Keep us posted, please. I've tried most of the clear protector brands out there and think that Phantom Skinz has the best product. I want to get a front+back skin but I'm concerned that the added thickness will interfere with the keyboard dock.

Any impressions would be welcome! :D

What's a good matte screen protector for the TF? I really hate having glare and I think matte would provide the best anti-glare and anti-fingerprint solution.

Asus Screen Protector Review

I got my screen protector for my Asus Eee Pad made by Aurum, I ordered both a clear and matte AKA anti-glare screen protectors through Amazon. I have used both and the clear I like better, simply because there is no "pixelation" of the screen, most importantly the touch screen did not lose any sensitivity after I applied it.

The protector had a nice rectangular notch cutout for the camera and for the light sensor(I think that's what it is), I had purchased other protectors and they had these small circular holes, you had to be perfect to install it right, this larger opening made my life a lot easier. Overall both were very easy to apply, a peel and stick type of protector, with protective covers.. I am very happy with both of them.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] sackofnoise:
Hi, thanks for the info, might be what i was looking for, but one question, does the front cover all the glass(also the black part?) or only the screen? (not sure i am clear on this one, i have seen some that were cut out only for the viewing screen and left all the edges of the glass unprotected) and does it seems easy to scratch?(not quite sure how you could know this also ;) )

well thanks a lot
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Itaintrite:
I simply love the matte screen protector I purchased from ebay. $7.99 shipped from HK. Took 10 days to get here but totally worth it. It covers the ENTIRE GLASS PANEL. Not sticky and soft like the wet ones or slippery like the cheap chinese knock-offs you usually get from eBay. Very smooth but with a fine texture. Easy to apply. I actually used the wet method for a perfect application, yes it works ;)

Ghost Armor

Has anyone every used Ghost Armor?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Sinistereo:
In my experience, Phantom Skinz start out pretty sticky but (if properly installed) flatten out and become silky smooth 2-3 days after installation. Any remaining tackiness can be eliminated by using an automotive urethane wax every 6 months or so.

I have a Phantom Skinz on my transformer now. I'm not impressed with the fit of the chromatics and would not recommend it. The clear screen protector, however, is clear, smooth, and flawless.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Fixter:
Right now I am waiting for SGP to make their awesome screen protector for this, sadly they take a while so I will have to wait until then and find something else.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] sic_lic1o1:
I bought the same one you got too. Tried to put it on last night. Couldnt get all the bubbles out. And then i tried to use the wet method and its worse than before. I cant seem to put it on without bubbles in it. Any advice how to put it on or any video how to put it on right? I like the matte screen look. I'm going to try to wash it and see if i can reuse it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] deymayor:
It's impossible to apply without any bubble. LOVE the matte finish because it really looks very similar to an ipad but it will take apeffect storm to put it without any bubble. Good thing it's only $7.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Itaintrite:
Wrong! Use the wet method. Clean screen, wet fingers. Peel off the protector and spray it immediately with soapy solution, then apply. Then do a lot of scraping to get all the bubble and water out. If all goes well, you should have a perfectly applied screen protector with NO bubble. Of course, being in a room with no moving streams or air helps.

I think the anti-glare protector DOES make it slightly darker due to the matte grain, but I don't think it affects anything. Second shot is at about 60% or less.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] sic_lic1o1:
Wow. You did a very good job putting it on there. I washed mine to clean all the dirt that got stuck on there and used the wet method and it turned out pretty good too. Still have a few tiny bubbles because of dirt but it looks way better now. Hopefully next one i do will turn out better. I'll leave this on for awhile.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Itaintrite:
The best way to get rid of dust and dirt stuck under is with tape. One piece to lift up the protector without touching the adhesive side then just stick and peel off. Dust will come right off.

Protector Review

I always have problems applying the screen protectors to any of my devices, so I did some research and decided to go with one made by a company called Aurum. The deciding factor was that it had a large cut out for my camera so its easier to apply. Overall, I am very happy. I got the two pack in case I messed up the first one.

Aurum

Gigabit, I believe the one you have is a dry install one instead of wet install. Care to reveal more info please. I am interested in buying a screen protector but wet ones scare me. However, I have been told that wet ones are the best specially the ones from skinomi.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] mexicanomike:
I dont know about anyone else but I've always had good luck with zagg.. Looks like they are now shipping!! Get one while you can. I just ordered mine. If you do save %10 buy supply code sudrate. Puts the price at $31. You save $8 by using the code sudrate
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] deymayor:
Success using the wet method. Top right is not sticking but no bubbles.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Itaintrite:
It will stick (as best as these regular protectors do) when all the liquid has evaporated. If you meant the very top edges, could be the protector is bigger than the screen so it's protruding over the edge. Then just cut a bit off.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] gordec:
Dry Apply Screen Protector

So does anyone have recommendations for a dry-apply protector that's not matted? I think I'm totally done with wet application. Never had any issues with dry-apply screen protectors for any of my phones.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Gigabitme:
Well in my experience with the Evo 4g & ARCHOS 101 I bought the Zagg & Skinomi (in my opinion they are exactly the same), I did not like them because they had TINY holes for the camera openings and while sliding my fingers across the screen they seemed to get stuck, plus I do not like putting water on my new $400 device. I did not experience these issues with the Aurum screen protector.

I dont think I will ever buy the wet applicator types again, the dry is just simpler and gives me choices in whether I want a clear or the anti-glare. Hope this helps

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] californiarailroader:
http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_41&products_id=44

I bought that one and am very impressed with it. It's anti-glare, but it doesn't reduce the clarity of or darken the screen, and feels smooth to the touch. It has cut-out's for the camera and sensor. Steve ships stuff out QUICK too, I had it from Texas in my mailbox in NorCal in 3 days.

As for installation, it took a bit to get it exactly right, but all the dry apply ones are like that, just be patient and take your time. I always apply Screen Protectors in the bathroom after running a hot shower for a couple of minutes, it doesn't make it quite like a sauna or anything but the extra moisture will make sure no dust is in the air, and gives you a a nice, dust and lint fee app :)

Edit-I actually bought the two pack from Aurum on Amazon, the ones they sent were cut wrong for the Transformer, after a couple of emails (they seemed to have issues understanding English) they figured out they had cut them wrong and refunded my money, I am sure you got the right ones from them because of my experience ;) :D I had also tried the eBay ones from China (though I got the clear, not matte) listed on here http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...me=ADME:X:RTQ:CA:1123&clk_rvr_id=241201523937 , they also sent me the wrong ones, I told them and they said they'd send the right ones out, that's been a couple of weeks ago.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Gigabitme:
You'll like the clear screen protector. I got a clear screen protector for my Viewsonic G tablet. I really liked it, it doesnt change the screen whatsoever! If there is a scratch, it will scratch the screen protector rather then scratch your screen.I got my clear from Amazon. Let me know how you like it. :) http://www.amazon.com/Asus-Eee-Pad-...2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1308318358&sr=8-2

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] akshayc1111:
I posted this in another related thread, but am posting here too for more exposure:

Ok, after browsing through this thread(and more besides), I am completely confused.

I want a protector that:

1. Reduces glare. I dont want to use my transformer as a Mirror. Something giving a matte look will be appreciated

2. slides as smooth as, if not smoother than gorilla glass.

3. is not a fingerprint magnet.

4. No appreciable reduction in touch sensitivity

5. Covers the borders(black edges of the screen)

6. Preferrably dry screen method of application, but will grit my teeth and go for wet method if necessary.

7. Not too pricey, preferrably within 20-30$

Could anyone recommend a screen that satisfies most(if not all) of the above conditions? The conditions are prioritized

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] wiredmonkey:
I like the Steinheil protectors. Don't know if the one they have for the Xoom would fit or not.

Edit: I got a reply back from them stating they will have a protector for the Transformer, but don't have a date yet.

i bought the skinomi and dont like it. I have been buying from this company for all my other devices. They are top quality. They have kiosks in some of the area malls. they will apply it for you. If you ever need to purchase another device or send it in for repair. you can pell off the protector and send it to them and for $6 they will replace it. Since they now carry one for the TF i have ordered it.

you cant compare them to Zagg they have a better product than skinomi. I have purchased zagg for my phones and ipad and it works great. seems the material is better and does not show the dents as you call them. i can run my key down the screen and after a few second you cant tell. I bought the skinomi for my tf and i would agree its junk. im goinf to order the Zagg instead.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Dorkington:
I have a Posrus protector. I give it a fairly good review. It's anti reflective and fingerprint, though it degrades screen quality just slightly. The cut was relatively accurate for me, though I didn't get it lined up perfectly myself haha. Installation was easy.

Tip for installing such protectors... do it in a steamy bathroom. It knocks down dust.

I just got my invisible shield installed and the fit is horrible for the screen and body. When lining them up to the camera one side fits flush but the other side is short about half an inch for the screen nd a third of n inch for the rear. To add insult to injury the guy at the kiosk who did the install said that they would charge me for the install again even though it didn't fit. I'm waiting for a reply from Zagg. I have used their products before and fit was perfect but this is rediculous. Just an fyi...
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] lamlam01:
i did the same - steamy shower room to settle the dust. cleaned the screen w/ microfibre cloth. made sure to over wet my hands and both sides of the skinomi. after application, used a hair dryer on very low to blow on the screen for 1.5 hrs. overnight, all microbubbles were gone. the main part of the screen is just perfect. got 2 small dust particles near the edge, but it does not affect my ocd too much. overall, the skinomi is just as it was described in their site. watch the youtube install video a few times and hopefully you'll have a similar or better install experience. i was lucky and did not have any of the nicks or dents that has been described.

Honestly just save a bunch of money and get a $5 or less one, those uber expensive and especially the wet apply ones are not worth it. I still have some $5 one on my PSP I bought day one back in March 2005 and it still looks perfect lul. I always buy just cheap ones from ebay or handhelditems, amazon, etc and they stay on the entire life of the device and work and look fine. I tried other expensive ones like Zagg and some others and they were so not worth it.

I just put a skinomi on mine, I'd say it's ok at best. I should have researched more and bought the stienhall. I had one on my sgs2, by far the best sp out there. Don't get me wrong, the skinomi is very nice and if applied properly you see no bubbles at all but i like the smoothness of the stienhall sp's.

I'll be buying a stienhall sp for my atrix soon. Just have to decide in which one to get.

If you put the side pcs on correctly they dont cover the speakers. I also got everything ligned up properly on back, but like yours mine isn't a perfect fit. It's short on both sides also. After having everything on i decided to remove all skin pcs except the back. They felt almost jagged when holding it. The sp also is a little short on both sides but not a big deal as it covers 98% of the screen. I do prefer stienhall sp's over the skinomi ones. Ill be ordering one soon. Skinomi sp's feel sticky almost when sliding a finger across the screen.
