Popped down to Wilshire Ave yesterday (where this company is based here in LA) and picked up one of the SGS screen protectors (one with anti-glare etc) and can report that it is a very nice protector.

Easy to apply (far easier than that Zagg junk) and it truly does reduce both glare and fingerprints MASSIVELY, without sacrificing screen quality.

$25 is a lot for a film of plastic, but I don't like doing this stuff more than once per device and I think I will be happy with this.

My previous favorite screen protector was the ones by Realook, but they don't have then for the transformer. Although the Realook did end up with a few scratches over the year I've had it on my Vibrant.....will be interesting to see how the SGS holds up against scratches, but I'm sure it will have far less abuse than my Vibrant as I can hardly fit the transformer in my jeans pocket next to keys/money etc.

My 2 cents....

ProtectME Review

I recently installed this screen protector. http://goo.gl/S6waf

Installation would have been super easy (dry application), except the tolerances are so tight that even though the edges look perfectly lined up, there was about .5mm overlap on the bottom edge. This created a long "bubble" where the film couldn't lay flush on the glass. A razor blade fixed that problem, but it was a bit of a PITA. I think if I had a second one to install, I could get it right the first time.

The feel of the protector is exactly what I was looking for. Glare is reduced significantly, and your finger slides very easily. Fingerprints are no longer a problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] rdnetto:
I'm partial to the Clarivue ones - the quality is pretty good for their price.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] krash183:
I agree with you....own way too many gadgets to spend 20 bucks on each screen protector. Same here with my PSP.... got it for 99 cents or so from ebay and its still perfect since 2004....same thing with my DS/cameras/phones and everything with screens. Just bought a 3 pack for the tf101 for $7.39 shipped.

I've had 2 skinomi protectors and unfortunately I am giving up and asking for a refund.

Both came folded up in their little round box, however with creases in them. The 1st one also had a fuzz under it.

I've had the 2nd one on for 5 days now and the creases are still visible, can still feel them, and hindered he drying process; you can see the "rainbow effect" along the creases. Skinomi was very nice and quick on getting me a replaceent for the 1st one so I doubt they will give me grief about a refund.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] DilloDroid:
I got one of the same from his website last week during sale. Exact same as some I got for my phone under the name of Screen Guard off ebay. Mines was cut a bit too long on the sides instead of bottom. I think all these are from same place...different names. Nice feel clear and reduced the glare. Got a Black Carbon fiber skin on the cheap there also. Great feel to it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] pokey9000:
How does it affect the picture quality? I've had experiences with other matte protectors and making the screen take on a "grainy" or "rainbow effect" look especially on solid colors.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] vincey:
I absolutely love SGP screen protectors. As soon as they released their TF model, I ordered the matte version (Ultra Fine) because I have never tried their matte products. While some people may like it, I really did not like it at all. The light was greatly reduced, by at least 20-30%. So much reduction that I often could not use the auto light adjustment because the screen was too dark. Also, it resulted in a 'soft' look, which made me constantly feel like my eyes were slightly out of focus. It also resulted in a little less sensitivity, which I think is caused by the slightly textured surface not being able to directly transfer the heat and pressure of your touch.

It did block a little glare, but that isn't really a problem. The only real positive was that there were virtually no fingerprints ever visible.

I just dont see the point of taking this excellent screen, and making it fuzzy, dim, dull, and less sensitive just to save a few fingerprints.

So, I went back and ordered the clear version (Ultra Crystal), and I love it. Visually it looks as clean, bright, and sharp as the glass itself. The sensitivity feels identical to the glass itself. Very easy to install, no liquids, no air, no dust, perfect fit, and perfectly square. It's like it is not even there.

IMHO, if you plan to get the SGP, get the Ultra Crystal .
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Globespy:
Good review, but for me the anti glare version was essential as i often use my TF outisde whilst having my daily coffee here in socal. Before installing the glare/reflection of the sun was extremely annoying, combined with fingerprint smudges.

It does perhaps reduce screen brightness a little, but 20-30% is a bit of a stretch :-)

I have not noticed any negative impact on screen sensitivity....in fact i feel that gestures are more precise with this surface.

If glare and fingerprints are your nemesis, get the anti glare version, if you simply want extra screen protection go for the crystal clear version.....both are terrific, but one has more functionality in my opinion.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] vincey:
I will agree that outside in sunlight the matte may be better. However, for me, the loss of light was too significant. When outside with the matte version, I had to really crank up the brightness. But once I did, it looked good although battery life would suffer a little. For me, I use this way more indoors, so the clear was a better choice for me. I guess it all comes down to personal preference, each have their own benefits. In either case, SGP is a great choice for anyone looking.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] rabidturtles359:
Got a zagg invisible shield... fml haha I bought it cuz it was the only thing best buy had. I had no idea it was wet application... so after getting over that shock I read instructions and watched videos.. then I attempted it. When you peel the thing off the paper it starts to stretch already and it is like a soft squishy plastic. So I sprayed it down with the provided solution and I barely had enough to cover both sides. Then I layed it a little cooked at one end and it was like an inch off the other end. The directions said I could slide it but for the life of me I couldn't and it just started to stretch. So I peeled it off and got it better aligned. But now at the bottom left it got effed up. Since it was stretched and whatnot the bubbles got kinda trapped.. so now the bottom is over lapping the seal cuz its stretched out. Idk I gave up its the best I could get it after 45 min. I will post pictures after twenty four hours if anyone wants me to. (Btw directions say to wait 24 hours to power on tablet, which is dumb)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] rabidturtles359:
Yeah it doesn't look good whatsoever. The bubbles are stil there. Its still stretched off the screen. It feels tacky and kinda sticky. And its weird but its not smooth its kinda like textured... idk. But the only plus I can see from this thing is it leaves like no fingerprints... idk its on whatever its staying on till I figure something out

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] al2x:
Just ordered these guys from Amazon:

http://amzn.com/B005A96Y74

Comes in a pack of two, dry application, apparently anti-glare as well. I've had quite some experience with dry screen protectors for the most part, good experiences. So I'll let you know how these work out. Only about 9 bucks with Amazon Prime 2-day free shipping. Never understood the hype about 30 dollar screen protectors when usually these work excellently.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Globespy:
Good luck with them and let us know your thoughts.....i don't see much difference between a $10 or $25 protector.....i just want to know its hassle free (unlike those awful zagg things) and does not interfere with the aesthetics of my $400 device. We are really only talking about the cost of a couple of lattes, and my SGS was well worth that extra "premium" to have it be super easy to install in about 90 seconds and do what I mentioned above ;-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ky3bmu4:
Thx for review! Would you please comment on fingerprints with Ultra Crystal SGP?

Is it similiar to the screen itself?(magnet wannabe)

TIA!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] vincey:
With the SGP clear, its basically identical to the glass itself. perfect fit, perfectly smooth, no stretch, fingers dont stick or skip when sliding. Fingerprints are virtually the same as in the glass, if anything it is slightly better with the protector.

im about to smash a phone.. i use my wireless at home to connect to with my phone to not use my data up. all of a sudden my wifi will shut off as soon as i start to download something in the Market. The only thing i know that was changed was a windows update a few days back so i uninstalled the KB fixes and rebooted. reset my dsl modem to factory defaults. using my same ssid and psk, read forums all over for tips but nothing has worked. havent factory reset the phone itself yet. seems its a problem with the atrix but I havent had the problem until like 2 days ago.

*i changed my router to WEP from WPA and Im able to stay connected so far.
[Atrix 4G General] klub242:
Assuming you're using a wireless router and not using your windows computer as a pseudo hotspot, windows updates and settings on your computers shouldn't have any possible impact between your Atrix and router. Also, I can only imagine that the problem is on your phone, not anything else, since your wifi only shuts off when you go to the Market.

Weird that changing the encryption fixes it, but seriously, don't leave it set to WEP. It literally takes seconds to crack the password and very little technical know-how to do. I would factory reset your phone, should fix it.

Oh, and have you flashed any ROMs onto your phone? Some of them have (or at least had) issues with wifi for certain users. That could be your problem.
[Atrix 4G General] Blue Puma:
Is your router old? I have an old one, and I am having the same problem if I use anything other than WEP. Some people have said that a firmware update to their router helped. It didn't help me.

-new DSL modem/router combo. Westell 7500

-i haven't rooted or flashed this phone yet.

-wpa-wpa2-tkip(and tried aes) with a wpa shared key at 3600 interval.

figured it was being booted by the firewall but i didnt see anything in the log. turned the firewall off. even added the phones mac address in Wireless > MAC Filtering > Primary SSID so "Only the stations listed in the table will be Allowed access. All others will be blocked". That didnt work either.

i had a problem a while back with the phone somehow interfering with my router. it would actually cause me to lose my internet connection while i was using wifi on the phone. i fixed that problem (forgot what i did) it might would have helped to remember when this new problem occurred.
[Atrix 4G General] uisgdlyast:
I would highly suggest not using WEP for security reasons, it is very easy to crack the passwords, my friend has cracked them in less than 5 min and he isn't even that computer smart (no offense to him, but its just clicking through menus).

They can even spoof MAC filtering, so dont think that will save you. If you must use WEP I would suggest monitoring your traffic and connections.

I was really surprised at how fast the password could be cracked especially with modern programs.
[Atrix 4G General] trapjawmusic:
yea. i would prefer to figure out why it stops working with wpa, but i have about gave up after trying everything but a phone factory reset, which would fix the problem possibly, but then i still wouldnt know what was the main cause.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Ultra Droid:
Same here - it seemed to install OK, but when I rebooted, NOTHING had changed. I still had the red Motorola bootsplash, followed by a custom bootanimation I had installed in data/local. Was I supposed to take that out first? In the past (granted, on different phones) the installation of a bootanimation that was setup like this one is, seemed to remove the bootanimation.zip in data/local and played whatever was installed by the flash as the bootanimation.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] tonecreationz:
This is installed in /system/media/

It should work fine, I tested each one before uploading...
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Ultra Droid:
OK, so I place the AndroidBoot_Blue.zip into system/media and reboot - that's all that's needed? Shouldn't it be renamed to "bootanimation.zip" first?

-Mike
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] tonecreationz:
Nope, you have to install via tenfar's cwm recovery...but if you rather install with root explorer, all you have to do is extract the bootanimation.zip from the /system/media/ directory in AndroidBoot_BLUE.zip and put it into /system/media/ on your phone and set the permissions to rw-r--r--, then reboot

ouch, you might want to take that back! tell them you found root software on the phone. that phone cost too much for them to sell someone a used phone. especially when they're buying it new. i can see if it was a warranty exchange but come on! they don't even do those in stores anymore.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] aczarney:
T-MO's policy is that even if they return the phone after 5 minutes of use, not even leaving the store, so long as the box is open, its a refurbished device and is sold as such. If a rep tried to pull that I'd go back and ask whats going on. Honestly, it's probably a phone that a rep was messing with.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] danz8509:
i actually live in northern va too and rooted a phone then returned it cause something was wrong with the battery, maybe you got my return! lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lobsterhead:
A big worry would be if you went in and they tried to give you the run around about honoring your warranty by saying you rooted your phone and now you're on your own. Who knows why it was returned in the first place so there is a chance you would need to get support for it.

I'd make sure you clearly explain why you are bringing it back and demand one with the manufacturer's tape still on it and then watch them cut it open!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] heldc:
It actually also had a problem with randomly shutting down, so I just took it back and said I needed to exchange it cos of that, cos I was worried about them saying I'd rooted it and thus voided my warranty. The guy at the kiosk actually said he's had several returns of G2xs with power problems. My replacement seems ok so far tho, and was NOT already rooted.

The pre-rooted phone was in pristine state, all the little stickers on it and no fingerprints or anything, so I dunno. My guess would be someone at the factory or something. It was just a really odd thing.

I did have the market do the automatically downloading apps thing, but even if the market had automatically downloaded Superuser, I don't think that would have resulted in a rooted phone, right? And Superuser was definitely in /system, cos it was still there after I wiped the phone before I returned it. Does the market download of Superuser put Superuser into /system? Plus I'd never actually downloaded Superuser via the market. I just really dunno! :)
