[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
Just want to let you know that I don’t work or am I affiliated with XO Skins in any way.

So I have had this on my Tab ever since I got it and am very happy with my purchase so I thought I would give a review for others that are looking for a good screen protector.

Before I even go into the review, I just wanted to post my thoughts on the argument for Gorilla Glass. I have been unable to find any proof that Gorilla Glass is present on this device, but even if it is, I still recommend a screen protector. Gorilla Glass is not made of diamonds therefore can be scratched by materials that are simply harder then it. Why spend $600 on a device and leave the most vulnerable part of it open to scratches and whatever else is out there? People also say that it is not like a phone so it won’t be in and out of pockets, etc, but I myself do not want to take the risk on such an expensive device. Anyways, that’s my 2 cents, and now onto the review.

I bought it through their website for $24.95 on a Friday, and received it on Monday. I did do rush shipping just because I knew my Tab was coming that Tuesday and I wanted to make sure I had a screen protector for it once I got it. It came in a padded envelope with just the XO Skins general box inside the envelope. In the box was the screen protector rolled up, a bottle of their installation spray, a squeegee, and installation instructions.

The instructions were detailed and easy to follow, however I would recommend using a micro fiber cloth(not included) whenever you clean your device instead of a dry paper towel like they recommend. I found the Skinomi installation video to be very helpful since the screen protectors are made out of similar/if not the same material.

I recommend doing the installation in your bathroom where you can get some hot water running for a few minutes. This steams up the room and helps prevent dust and other crap from getting under your screen protector when you install it. Also, don’t be afraid to be generous with the application spray when spraying the screen protector and make sure to keep the squeegee wet when you are using it to get rid of the excess solution. Don’t worry if yours comes out milky or with a few bubbles, those will go away once the solution dries and cures completely. Overall though, the installation is quite easy and took me only a few minutes. I am a perfectionist and since this is a wet installation you can move the screen protector around until it is exactly where you want it which is nice. I let it dry in the original SGT box for a full 24 hours and it came out perfect.

It honestly feels almost exactly like glass when you are sliding your finger across it which was something I was worried about before ordering it. In the past I have tried the Zagg invisibleSHIELD and hated how it felt sticky and had what is known as the orange peel affect. I believe they are made of similar quality materials but the XO skins produces none of the negative effects that I found present with the Zagg protector. It doesn’t feel sticky and I have found no problems with the clarity or viewing angle. I also haven’t noticed any problems with the touch screen not registering my touches as well. It also does collect finger prints and smudges, but it is not nearly as bad as just plain glass. It is easily wiped down with a microfiber cloth though.

Overall, I highly recommend the XO Skins screen protector to anyone looking for a great way to protect the screen on their new tab or any other electronic device that needs a screen protector. I will definitely be ordering from them again once I get my new phone.

Feel free to ask me any questions and I will do my best to answer them.
