Screen Protectors usually make for a tight fit with docks. You may have to do a little trimming around the docking points depending on the protector you choose.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
When I carry it arround the house, I don't need a protector, Gorilla Glass doesn't seem to get scratches easily (nor does the back of my Infinity, despite what some said).

For going out I either take the dock which encloses the screen within the whole thing or I take TranSleeve (originally meant for the Prime), which is helpful for typing or watching media (two standing positions). I don't see a point of having this kind of sleeve for both (although this seems nice: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28593251&postcount=19), although I have bought the cheapest (~$3) neoprene etui/sleeve for 10" netbooks available (somehow they tend to be cheaper than the same products for 10" tablets): http://vegacom.eu/data/gfx/pictures/large/6/6/9566_7.jpg?337768

This is more for suddently-dropping-the-bag-on-the-floor kind of situation than to avoid scratches, but I feel better with these precautions (I also carry a few books in the backpack quite often, so it seems safer to have some kind of cover).
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
Are we talking screen protectors or cases here? I'm thinking I'm going to grab a slip case for the tablet/dock to just slip it in something light.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
I was answering the question if one should protect the screen with gorilla glass, but ok, good point. I would never use something that would blur the image on the Infinity, but I can understand somebody would want to do it to be able to use the tablet in direct sunlight. But to avoid scratches? Hell no!
[Asus Transformer TF700] fortunz:
You can some brutal things to gorilla glass without scratching it. Most people don't need a screen protector. The huge elephant in the room is dust, which might surprise some folks who don't have to live with much of it. If you live in an especially dusty region, you should seriously consider protecting even a GG2 screen. The glass has not been invented that won't scratch if the right piece of dust gets dragged across it just so. Hammering a nail with an HTC one x is impressive (reference to a youtube vid I saw once), but not the most practical test. Some dust particles are harder than nails, I assure you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
I don't think I'll put one on mine. It's not gong to get thrown around like my phone does lol. My phone has to have a screen protector...
[Asus Transformer TF700] ian1:
An anti glare screen protector could be a good idea
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Definitely +1 concerning the dust, but concerning the damage reduction potential of Gorilla Glass: when I got my LG Optimus 2x about one and a half years ago, I rubbed the tip of a knife on the screen (Gorilla Glass v1) to and fro in a ballsy whim during a dinner with friends. Turns out it was a bad idea: although I have since upgraded to the SGS2 and the LG is now carried around by my wife, it still bears a nice mark (scratch).

Although, with a probability close to certainty, a normal screen would've been utterly destroyed (I wasn't exactly gentle), the potential for damage is still there and it doesn't even take visceral violence. It is chemically hardened glass, it can take a beating but it is only an extra line of defense.

For the sake of on-topic conversation: I have never used a screen protector on any device I own. I take good care of them and mostly use them eitehr indoors or in a shaded area (inside the train, for example). If you'd need outdoor visibility, consider it. If you have the dock, think about a good sleeve or case (I have bought an relatively cheap leather one on eBay and, although it does add significant bulk, it does a commendable job as far as protection goes).
[Asus Transformer TF700] xRevilatioNx:
Dust? Really? Have you seen the Gorilla Glass 2 vendor video? They threw everything at it but the kitchen sink. If dust was ever to be their demise, Gorilla would lose ALL credibility with their product. I'm hardly worried.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
I love the "Guerilla" typo, it should be an extra-hardened version! ;D

My post here shows why you'd use a anti-glare film on the TF700T.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28362111&postcount=2806

When I got mine I found it was almost impossible to use out on the pattio without the anti-glare film.

The glass is simply a perfect reflector giving very crisp and detailed images of everything around and abowe you overshadowing the data on the screen.

The same issue faces almost all tabs and phones though.

The anti-glare screen does do odd things to the pixels due to the high density, but overall it works.

GG is tough and great, but you underestimate the power of dust. :cool:
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
+1 for an Anti-glare protector. Not for it's "protection" qualities, but for it's anti-glare qualities... I just got my TF700 and the screen is beautiful, but very reflective... Plus the anti-glares help reduce finger prints significantly. Just get a good one - you usually get what you pay for when it comes to anti-glare protectors.

However, I do worry that it may interfere with the screen quality too much on the TF700 though (they usually create some level of "pixelation" effect which may ruin the TF700 "experience" - not sure as I don't have one yet! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] fortunz:
I refer to the effect of anti-glares as the rainbow effect. It acts a little like a prism per pixel, especially noticeable on white screens as you'd expect. Some people just see it as noise. Some don't see it.

I'm undecided about whether or not its worth it. It always has been before (bonus: fewer prints), but I've never had a screen this beautiful before either, and I'm not sure I want to obscure it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
My argument is pretty simple: the Infinity is so pretty I would never want to blemish it with any permanent type of screen protector. And it gets so hot in direct sunlight during summer here anyway that I prefer to stay indoors with it ;>
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
The screen have too much resistance it grabs the finger.

It's not as smooth to touch on ipad screen, didn't anyone noticed it?

[Asus Transformer TF700] tha_kreature:
Protecting it is pointless, but if you had one and wanted to use it outside you'd curse it for not using matte glass.

A matte film is sold as a screen protector but is anti-glare. It is almost a necessity, but one needs one with very high density "matte" or the pixels will look odd as I have shown.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fortunz:
I'd really love an anti-glare shell I could slide over the screen outside and not have the rest of the time. I'm not sure it would work if it weren't stuck to the glass, but that'd make outdoor stuff less inconvenient. Maybe a pane that would slide into a case or something.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
I won't be protecting mine I dont think. It will be in a genuine leather case for when I go out with it and that should be good enough. When I'm docking, I can just close it and it'll be protected fine. Now my phone is a different story...lol
[Asus Transformer TF700] tha_kreature:
You don't have it yet do you?

When you see the mirror you will think differently about anti-glare.
[Asus Transformer TF700] waltnich:
Hello. Have any of you heard of Zagg Invisible Shield? I got an i-pad2 when they came out a year and half ago. Got the Zagg Mate (keyboard that becomes a case over the screen - sound familiar?) They cut the Invisible Shield for perfect fit for each model phone and tablet so to accomodate the camera, controls etc. I used the full body invisible shield and gave the i-pad a thorough workout over the long haul. I do not like Apple for the same reasons as the rest of us and got my hands-on experience with the i-pad. But now could use cash to help with the tf700 with dock price. Last week I sold it on ebay as good as it was new - thanx to the Invisible Shield - it heals itself and deserves the Wow. I got $450 for a year and half old i-pad2 and the buyer emailed me back how much he liked it once he got his hands on it. Better condition than the stolen one it was replacing. My point is that this is a large step from a protector and keeps the tablet like new thru minor slips and accidents and deserves our attention.

ALTHOUGH I wrote Zagg and they do not have a pre cut model for our tf700. I have no connection with Zagg except as the customer but if you go to Zagg and then contact them thru their site asking for the invisible Shield for the tf700 perhaps if enough of us do they will decide it is worth it to make the die cuts etc for the 700? It would really be worth the effort.

BTW

The slightly extra thickness did make the keyboard fit very snug. Snug enough to keep out all dust when closed. This product is just has no down side.

I checked Zagg on Wikipedia - you should too - very interesting.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tha_kreature:
Sigh...

Dust will not scratch the gorilla glass unless it's diamond dust. (Or silicon carbide dust etc which is the worst thing that in theory you can have in your pocket due to a trip to the beach or such.)

This was necessary though, and works great: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29198154&postcount=3378

I've had it since release and have been using it fine. For what I use it for and where, I only need a case for it. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eroc162:
My ant glare protectors came in and I just installed them. I ordered some screen protectors for a TF201 for my TF700. I had to use a hole puncher over the existing hole on the protector. A quit snap and perfect. Mind you I bought 3 so the first couple holes are horrible lol. The next 2 came out fine. There is definitely clarity loss. Kinda sucks I hate the glare but I lose the crispness. No finger prints which is a plus.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xRevilatioNx:
Just recieved my tablet. Is their a protective plastic that has to come off the screen after shipment? I canv't tell if it has kne or not. Or just that full body plastic slip it comes shipped with? Thanks guys..

UPDATE: Just figured out it doesn't!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
Like many, I can't believe this is even a debate. However I think it's an obvious YES to have one. I can't be the only person here who has had Gorilla glass on a previous device. Granted, it's always been my phone which takes alot more damage, but still. These things cost like $5. Every single GG device I've had has gotton scratches. Yes it is awesome stuff, but not a substance handed down by the hand of god himself as some seem to think it is. I ordered a 3 pack pretty cheap on amazon with everything else.

Here's the difference between the belkin and dx protector:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29278885&postcount=3421
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Thanks for the great comparison. So with the DX protectors, is there much reduction in screen quality on the TF700? I'd assume that there is at least a slight reduction in brightness too (from my experience with anti-glares) which I'm fine with - that's why they give us a brightness control! :)

I don't mind spending the money to find out, I just hate to go through getting it installed just right only to find it makes the screen look terrible...

Thanks again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cipherbreak:
People really believe GG is scratch proof. Well it is not. It is highly scratch resistant when compared against the "traditional" glass, but it can certainly be scratched. If you believe otherwise please prove me wrong by rubbing something sharp or abrasive against your screen. Don't forget to record a video too.

Additionally, what people seem to forget is that the screen protector will not only *protect* the glass, but also the lipophobic coating that is commonly used on touchscreens to repel fingerprint oils. That coating is certainly much weaker than the GG.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tha_kreature:
The belkin one looked gray while the dx one looks pale pale white/clear. They call it crystal clear and it's close.

It's on the virge when it comes to density and could ofcource have been even finer grained to give better quality. I'd prefer a film with optical AR coating and not a halfmatte texture (like camera lense treatment) but they don't appear to exist.

It still impacts the screens quality a tiny bit making the smooth white areas go a tad "sparkly" but not nearly as much as the belkin one.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Thanks - still not sure if I want to bother or not - I guess I'll order them and see what happens. Do you have a link to them handy?

Thanks again for all of the great info!

any other suggestions on whether to place a screen protector or not? I've seen some complaints about the Gorilla Glass scratching easily.

If a screen protector is need, which would you recommend?
[Asus Transformer TF700] falconator:
No to screen protector. Why put a piece of plastic that definitely scratches, feels awful and makes the screen look worse just to keep the glass pristine in a state that you'll never even enjoy? They don't scratch if you take care of them.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dalingrin:
The keyboard dock is my screen protector.
[Asus Transformer TF700] apkapkapk:
Not true... Someone here (or on another thread) said that his screen got scratched already and he takes really good care of his things. He used to think the same as you (they don't scratch if you take care of them) until now. So many examples of it being scratched even when taking care of it. I take care of everything I own (my old GBA still has no scratches on it, my SGS2 looks newer than my friends' who got theirs way later) but still put screen protectors on those that have screens.

A fine example; my friend bought a SGS2. The next day, it got a minor scratch already and she did take care of it. Just like what someone else said, "don't underestimate dust".
[Asus Transformer TF700] fortunz:
I don't have any advice to add beyond my earlier posts, but if you decide you need a protector, there are two approaches: super cheap and replace more often, or pricier, but rarely replaced (1.5+ years). In the quality category, I recommend boxwave or clarivue. They've been making these things for many years, including back when protectors were unquestionably necessary (plastic screens + near mandatory styli, where even the softest dust particles spelled certain doom), and have an excellent reputation for taking a beating.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tha_kreature:
My screen with the dx crystal clear one looks definately <b>better</b> with the protector! It also feels a lot better to slide finger on, especially my grubby sweaty paws. The feeling of finger sticking to the glass is gone and it glides silky smooth on the anti-glare screen. That alone was worth a few bucks.

It doesn't only help the glare outdoors either, if you have a ceiling lamp indoors it helps annoying reflections of that too, not to mention the light from the window if you sit with back to it.

Hello.

Is it possible to port/compile/get working somehow ICS on a device that runs only Froyo? I mean, the only available and supported ROM is Froyo. If it is possible, how can I start with getting ICS working on it? Just compile ICS and pack needed drivers and libs into it?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devwithzachary:
It would be possible however drivers are not as simple as taking them from froyo, ICS require its own drivers different to those found in froyo so porting drivers becomes a really pain

I haven't seen any one discussing this with the T-Mobile Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999) yet, so I'm guessing its just an issue with my phone but I thought I'd ask first..

My phone is a brand new T-Mobile Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999) 16gig Blue, fresh out of box. Not rooted. Running stock rom.

Searching, I've a seen similar issue mentioned for other (older) phones, the fix seemed to be disable auto-rotation and auto-brightness. I've turned both off, and still have the problem.

If I let my T-Mo S3 sit, and the screen has been off for a few minutes (usually two or so will do it), I can't get the screen to turn back on.

The LED will blink, and if I hold the power button long enough, the phone will restart (and the screen will turn on).

I've tried a factory reset via the settings menu, going into stock recovery and doing a wipe cache, as well as a factory reset and wipe cache in the stock recovery. I still have the issue.

Have others experienced this? Is there a fix, or is it time for me to get with T-Mobile about a replacement?

Note: My VZW S3 (SGH-i535) doesn't have this problem).

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GladiusGS3:
newbie with the same problem..

My GTI9300 is doing the same thing. If I leave it idle for a while, then press the power button, the phone is unresponsive. Pressing the home or vol buttons does nothing. if I call it, the phone recieves the call, but no ringtone is played and the screen stays off.

It started doing it since I updated to the official 4.3 rom. Its been happy and dandy on 4.1.2

I have a sneaky suspicion it's a samsung service app causing problems. Once (still on 4.3) the screen wouldn't turn back on after a Skype call. I had to call it to unlock the phone, when it did come back it said "samsung push service stopped working." Today while browsing, the hyperlinks became disabled for a short while until an app update notification showed up. Then it was normal again. It may be unrelated, but could it be the push service interfering with wake from deep sleep?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Could be, kinda hard to say. But if you haven't already you should factory reset. If some data from your previous build is not being read correctly it could cause any number of issues. (You could try clearing data on and disabling the service app first if you like)

Beyond this though, you should probably post in the international forum. Our devices are very different and I for one know very little about yours.

Good luck!
