I'm certainly not one of the "most" you speak of. If my screen were to get a little scratch on it I doubt I would notice. To me it's like the clear covers that my mom put on the living room furniture. It protects the upholstery from damage but it also prevents one from appreciating the beauty and feel of the actual fabric. And then the springs and padding wear out or the style becomes outdated so you take off the plastic and you have a broken down piece of furniture that looks great for the thrift shop. Of course, plastic covered or not I wouldn't sit in it with tools sticking out of my pocket or with lots of dirt and grime on my clothes. I'd rather enjoy the beauty and color as the designer intended.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] plastikowl:
I'm not sure if furniture covers are really a legitimate comparison here :P

My screen cover is almost indistinguishable from the original surface. Pair this with the fact that the tablet lives in a case and the edges wouldn't be visible anyway (not that they are apparent or obvious otherwise) and the point is moot.

As far as the feel? I have found the surface to be slicker than before and easier to use because of the screen protector I chose. I use swype style inputs, so the comparison for me was like night and day. Without the cover, it was more effort to slide a finger around without encountering noticeable friction.

They may not be for everybody, but I think they are a pretty great way to protect an expensive device without any significant drawbacks.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] daxecutioner24:
I think the furniture comparison is fair, it's like you bought this expensive couch and you don't get to actually feel it just because there is plastic over it. Then what was the actual point of buying something so expensive. If your lousy, put your phone everywhere with keys and all get a screen protector. If your not near sand or don't put your phone with your keys and other stuff don't get one. I had one on for about a month very transparent but the fact is it will never feel like the real glass. Let's face it its not like we are going to have this phone for 4 years or so just be careful.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] eug:
The comparison isn't fair because you can *definitely* feel plastic on a couch.

On the other hand, a *GOOD* screen protector is virtually unnoticeable unless you were actually looking for it.

The keyword is GOOD. If you've only used cheap crap $1 screen protectors off ebay (or $10 crap retail ones), then I can understand why you have an aversion to it. A *proper* screen protector like SGP Ultra Crystal or similar is virtually invisible. No bubbling, peeling, color shift, speckling, contrast reduction, etc.

Some people care about resale value as they swap phones frequently, others don't. Screen protectors aren't necessary for everyone.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] jerryp7:
Of the almost 75% of users who DON'T use screen protectors (according to the poll) I'm curious if you use anything special to clean the glass. I use Rain-X about once every couple of weeks.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Jayrod1980:
I have the worst luck with every device I buy so screen protectors are a must. However, I've found after applying two different wet type application screen protectors to the nexus 10 that they are very difficult to put on properly. This is from a guy that has probably installed 50 or more kits to devices but admittedly never any screen more than 7 inches. I do the installs in a clean steamy bathroom and spray on the solution, etc. Its just hard for me because you are dealing with so much material. I've found that the skinomi and the bse protectors I've installed on this device haven't dried clear. They almost all seem to have some kind of murkiness to them. Maybe my water is too hard or something. Has anyone else had difficulty installing screen protectors on this device?

Sent from my often RMA'd Nexus 4, So that I can use the one I'm using now when I get the 6th and hopefully final one.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] thacounty:
I have not had these issues. My skinomi went down with no issues. There is no reason to use a steamy bathroom. Just get it clean and blow on it as you wipe to keep the dust off. Finish with a wipe all in one direction over the whole screen. Spray both sides of protector and device. Make sure not to get the spray into anything that could cause issues on the device. This will make it easier to slide and get into place. Once it's in place squeegee it really well. Hard enough to get all the water out, but be careful not to stretch it. They will all have a little rainbow effect until they dry.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] qkhang:
None for me. I like the screen the way it is and think its pretty scratch resistant.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] AngDR01D:
My cousin had this problem once, ever tried blow drying it?

Sent from my Nexus 10
[Nexus 10 Accessories] plastikowl:
Pretty much what he said, the steamy bathroom might be your issue? I didn't use any water, just the included solution with my skinomi. I only used about 2-3 sprays of it. It looked like absolute CRAP when I was done, but sat overnight and looked great by morning.

Armorsuit

I used armorsuit on mine and it worked great. I think with a screen this big you almost have to use a protector that's applied wet.

Once it dried i can't even tell i have one on.,hope this helps
[Nexus 10 Accessories] SCHEND0:
The fingerprints are a bit noticeable, to say the least, but at least you don't see them when the screen is on. I've been using my screen bare and the motion is just great, very fluid. This screen also does very well against scratches compared to other tablets. I just make sure the screen is protected, usually via a case, when I'm not holding it. I have actually nbeen using all my devices with bare screens recently.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Vashypooh:
Realook just started offering their screen protectors.

I use them on everything, and now my nexus 10 included.

Crystal clear, and fits the screen almost perfectly, so much so it can be a pain to get on right.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Andrewtst:
infinity % confirmed naked. No one can put any type of screen protector in all my device! :)

Naked. :thumbup:

Still Charged Up
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Smeech99:
Naked for now. But, I have to admit I'm starting to get paranoid. Talk me out of it...
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Low_Key_13:
Paranoia kicked in so I covered mine today, even though its always in its leather holder.

I'm useless at even putting them on my galaxy nexus, so I paid the dude at the local mid-mall phone chop shop to install, best $10 I spent in a while!
[Nexus 10 Accessories] ShadowVlican:
Nay for me.. Never on any of my devices have I needed one
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Blaze03:
So I decided to put a screen protector and decided to go with skinomi and to my surprise I managed to get a really perfect placement and the screen looks great!
[Nexus 10 Accessories] syraz:
Naked as all my android devices

never had an issue to need one, out of going throught 5 phones never had a problem with going naked on all of them
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Grimthorr:
I wasn't going to get a screen protector for mine but it's never been naked because I still haven't removed the one that came pre-applied to it in the box. I've even cut off the little tab on the top-right so it looks & acts like a real screen protector. It was free & already applied so why remove it if you're just going to try and fit one yourself anyway? Crystalusion Liquid Glass does sound interesting though.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] rfulcher:
Have to agree; these liquid preparations do sound interesting. But I'd be willing to be that they're all some sort of siloxane derivative (aka Rain-X). And I'd also be willing to wager that Rain-X is way less expensive, particularly if you've already a bottle of it in your garage. I bet they'd also make life interesting if you applied one then decided to put a conventional protector on shortly after without buffing the liquid protector film off.

But here's my only other concern: if a piece of silica sand / hard metal / whatever comes at your screen, do we all _really_ believe that a few-nanometers-thick coating of siloxane is going to avoid a scratch??

These liquid-only screen protectors, I think, probably have some benefit as far as fingerprints go, but I highly doubt that any of them have one iota of strength against a true mechanical scratch.

Comments?
[Nexus 10 Accessories] jerryp7:
You're totally correct. All RainX does is help keep fingerprints off. I'm not concerned with scratches. My fingertips are pretty smooth and I never subject it to a hard stare. I don't use my tablet anywhere there would be danger of physical harm.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Tomatoes8:
No point really. I use screen protectors on my phones because those go everywhere and in and out of pockets, bang on tables, friends handle them, occasionally goes in my gf's purse etc.

My tablet? Just goes into my micro fiber padded netbook bag so I don't need a screen protector.

Maybe if I had a 7 inch tablet.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] rfulcher:
This weekend I installed a 3M Natural View screen protector on my 10. It's supposed to make fingerprints fade over time (big deal) but also promised a ”crystal clear” appearance in a dry-application film. That was the main selling point for me. It was also available at my local Staples, at a price well below the Zagg hanging next to it on the shelf.

Impressions-- actually, it's quite good! All the usual caveats apply with dust and such, so be prepared to deal with peeling back as you go to deal with bubbles. But the overall clarity is excellent. It's slightly draggy, but nothing close to the Zagg I have on my Rezound. It also covers both the front cam and the light sensor, and I've seen no ill effects from either.

All in all, better than a ”3-fer” cheapo protector. Worth a look see if you're dubious about a wet-app or a cheaper dry-app protector.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] NLPUNITED:
My N10 is naked because it never leaves my house and i have no kids.

My N4 is currently naked and i love the screen feeling. Had my SGS2 in a screen protector for a year and never noticed till I got my N4 how much I missed the naked feeling of a phone screen. Have a spigen on order and will be my last try. If I dont like it il just keep it naked and enjoy 100% of my phone till the next nexus is out.

Whatcha guys think about the Armorsuit shield protector?

http://www.amazon.com/ArmorSuit-Mil...lacements/dp/B009ZN9WIO/ref=pd_bxgy_pc_text_z
[Nexus 10 Accessories] jerryp7:
It looks as good as any and seems like a reasonable price but they all remind me of covering suede furniture with plastic. After the springs are all worn out and you have to replace the basic piece, it looks brand new but you have missed the comfort and feel the original and specifically designed material. I seems to be replacing my devices about every 2 years so why should I not just USE it. I protect my tablet with an i-Blson case.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] abejoker:
So basically it is better to have a case and no screen protector for you? Seems reasonable.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] jerryp7:
That's the way I feel. Some others agree, others don't.

I got an el cheap matte anti glare screen protector and I couldn't be happier, if only to not having to constantly wipe finger marks :)

I'm considering an anti-glare protector but I roll vanilla Gorilla, dawg :p

I have a very minor scratch you can't feel without a fingernail, and only see in the glare on the screen, so it doesn't bother me.

[MENTION=242494]ironhelix[/MENTION] Do you have a link to your protector?

I use a Moko case with keyboard for the rest.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] ironhelix:
LOL. Sorry no I don't know the brand. I went to a local Asian mall and I asked for a matter screen protector and for 10 bucks .they even installed it.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] dibblebill:
Dang. I'll keep looking around then. How does the look and feel compare to the glass? I find myself liking the smooth glass but the finger prints. RAGE.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] ironhelix:
Matte screen protector aren't smooth... In the end you'll have to figured out your needs for instance my phone as zaggs because I prefer clear and scratch proof because it's always moving in my pockets..
[Nexus 10 Accessories] dibblebill:
A'ight. How's the feel of the matte? I got burned on a Zagg by Best Buy on my Acer a500- it peeled up that night, bonded to my mint condition Iron Maiden "Piece of Mind" album, and tore the cover. I'm still livid. They told me it was my fault and they wouldn't refund it, even though they put the protector on wrong. Went over 2 years without damaging it without one, but glare is a pain.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Lakilaulea:
Have you tried Spigen?

http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-SGP-Pr...id=1369784622&sr=8-1&keywords=spigen+nexus+10

It's on the pricier side, but it's the best if you want a screen protector that disappears on the screen. I've tried most of the major brands; Zagg, Skinomi... This one is hands down the best. Once on, you can't even see it. It feels smooth, doesn't dimple over time, looks like glass. I use this and a Moko case when I take my N10 to school.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] cmplaya:
my hands are always mad dry...almost no fingerprints ever on my screen

so i never use screen protector but it is in a folio case that flips over it when not in use
[Nexus 10 Accessories] datawrhsdoc:
It took me all of 2 weeks to get tired of the extreme glare from the screen on my Nexus 10. Last night I installed a GreatShield Ultra Anti-Glare screen protector. No glare, no fingerprints, no dust, and lifetime guarantee. To be quite honest, every other screen protector of this type I've tried on my phones I simply couldn't stand and ended up ripping off within a few hours. At $9.95 for a set of 3 from Amazon (http://amzn.to/14Btt65), I couldn't be happier.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] anhngocrg:
the protective membrane??

[Nexus 10 Accessories] dibdida:
Actually I'm using stock screen protector, and I feel fine with it. But I don't know if I will buy a new one in the future.

My case always protect the screen when I transport it, and I can't imagine a realistic situation in which I risk to scratch the screen while I'm using it!
[Nexus 10 Accessories] JCJMC:
I do not like, remove sensitivity to the screen.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] rootusr:
I'm going to say nay, but I do believe it depends of each case. If you have a case/cover and you don't share it for example with your kids I don´t think is required. I have always used protectors in my phones because those are in my pockets with Keys and other stuff.. not the case for the tablet
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Slevin911:

Nothing says Consumer Grade like shiny .....

There is a good reason professional grade monitors have anti-glare film applied during the manufacturing process and don't have shiny bezels either .... Glare = improper color reproduction .... backlight bleed = improper color reproduction ... Marketing gimmicks (And shiny has been a favorite for thousands of years) do not = changing the laws of physics ....

Any good recommendations of anti-glare screen protectors

I used Nexus 10 mainly for reading. The glare is absolutely annoying. Does anyone have good recommendations of anti-glare screen protectors?
[Nexus 10 Accessories] datawrhsdoc:
I'm totally with you on this. While I can't stand anti-glare protectors on my phone, between the screen on the Nexus 10 being an industrial strength dust magnet and the glare that was driving me so crazy, I took a gamble on a set of GreatShield Ultra Anti-Glare screen protectors and have never looked back. No glare, no fingerprints, no dust bunnies, and a lifetime guarantee. It took me maybe a day to get accustomed to the slight pixelation that seems to have now disappeard, and I clean it once every couple of weeks with a bit of Windex.

At $9.95 for a set of 3 from Amazon (http://amzn.to/14Btt65), you can't go wrong. I'm still using the first one I installed in May, and it looks as good...maybe better...than the day I installed it.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] xdaSEx10:
Thanks for the recommendation. The price looks fine. I'll order them.

I suspect any matte type screen protector will cause pixelation (or rainbow effect), lowering the display quality to a certain degree. This seems to be an inevitable technical problem. I've tried SPIGEN SGP on my Nexus 7, it also comes with this issue.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznwings:
So, I just recently got a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I installed the same music application to my phone that I had before (HTC Desire). I never had a problem like this before. My problem is that, while playing music, the GPS interrupts the currently playing song (which is fine), but then there is an EXTRA interruption after this which also causes the song to play at a slight low volume, THEN return to normal volume shortly after. I remember that there was an option to enable/disable volume loudness protection or whatever and I THINK this is the culprit. BUT I CAN'T FIND THIS SETTING ANYMORE!! Does anyone know a solution to this problem? This has been bugging me for FOREVER. I use my GPS often because I often drive to locations I've never been for or barely go to, so this is a REAL pain in the buttocks. -- I also will be using it for the next few days!! :crying: So I would like to fix this, but if there's no fix, I guess I can bare through it for the next few days...

Running Serenity ROM v1.2 with Ktoonsez kernel.

EDIT: Forgot to also mention that this SOMETIMES happens with notifications and such, so I do not think it is the GPS's fault either.

EDIT2: Clarification: Want to get rid of that annoying second interruption that I mentioned earlier!! --I looked in developer options, sound, and EVERYTHING....still couldn't find it...

EDIT3: I searched online and nothing popped up useful (I think I wasn't searching with the right keywords. Kept getting results referring to headset not having any sound at all which is not right.)

I'm interesting about Multiwindow on our DHD. Of course I know that DHD don't have much RAM and big quad-core processor but maybe it will be possible to run in one time YouTube and SMS, for me it will be very helpful :)

Hey, thanks for the reply. You are kinda confirming what I had already found out.

Guess all that is left to do is to take a hammer to my Desire Z brick, and to start to learn how to live life without a cell-phone and internet everywhere you go. Well, I guess we all did that 10 years ago.

Thanks for your reply, demkantor.

No, I have not tried the RUU. And I'm sorry for having to ask this, because I'm sure you have answered this question a million times already, but can you explain to me what you mean by that?

I did run the "fastboot oem check_emmc_mid" command, and my chip showed up as the Samsung. So that doesn't look good.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
It stands for ROM utility update or something like that, its what HTC uses for a full update to their phones when not done through an ota.

the thread I linked you too has a heading like stuck in boot loop not rooted

There I suggest trying to boot in same mode, factory reset or flashing latest ruu, unfortunately with a stock phone there isn't much else to do. But if all fails it more or less insures you have the bad chip and it has lost the ability to read and write to it.

Instruction to flash the ruu or in the HTC website, link in that post to it, just simple fastboot commands
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceristimo1:
Thanks again for replying so quickly, demkantor.

I will look at that thread, and try flashing the latest ruu, and report back here. Although I guess we both kinda know my phone is completely dead already, at least I want to have tried every possible solution for a stock phone.

I'm just kinda upset with this whole business. This was not a cheap phone when I bought it, and all HTC has to say is: Sorry, your warranty ran out in August. There was a 16 month warranty on this phone, but of course the darn thing decided to die right after that.

I can still send it in for repairs, but I'll be looking at 250 dollars to have it fixed. That's money I don't have.

Any other comparable phone I can get on ebay will run about 150-200 dollars, and that's also something I was not expecting to have to shell out, especially with Christmas coming up.

And because I don't have a back-up cellphone, and no land-line, it just means that I'm pretty much completely cut off. I mean, on one hand it's really peaceful not to get any phone calls, but it's mostly just outright frustrating.

I can't believe there is not an extended warranty or something on these phones, because I'm sure that HTC is very well aware of this problem by now. Although the lady from HTC-support told me that I was the first person ever she talked to that had this problem.

Oh well, I'm just venting right now, so I'll stop typing, start flashing the ruu, and report back here in a little bit.

And thanks again demkantor, for your willingness to reply to questions that have been asked a million times already...:)
