Joe,

Great! Thanks for checking that. We have resized the film based upon your measurements of 10.25 x 6.5" taking the 1/8" bezel into account with 4 radius 0.5" corners. Note that these measurements don't match the PDF you sent which has dimensions of 10 x 6.5" or 9.75 x 6.25" with the 1/8" bezel taken into account. We've assumed that this is error introduced from scanning. We'll get you a new film out on Monday.

acuralegendz , PM me (and post) when you get it an lemmie know how it turned out. Also, if you don't mind, I am going to order from them as well as 'name drop' you and your experience.

Companies that handle situations like this need to know that people appreciate what they do, when they do it, and their responsiveness. I hope that the product is exactly as you want it and works great and I hope that this causes them to get more business.
[G Tablet Accessories] acuralegendz:
Will do :)
[G Tablet Accessories] Hoplon:
I really need a cover. Eagerly waiting to hear how these turn out. I emailed Zagg, who knows when they will get back to me.

I am curious why some prefer the Nushield over the Zagg. As I have never bought either one anyone want to clarify a bit?

BodyGuardz

BodyGuardz has custom sizes for 19.95. They are excellent, and go on easily. I am very pleased with mine, with no loss in touch sensitivity. It applies like the Zagg does

[G Tablet Accessories] acuralegendz:
Well I chose NuShield because they are close to me and already listed as having one for the device, Now I'm glad I did because there customer service is awesome, and hopefully by communicating with them and testing there new protector we can get one thats a perfect fit for under 25$. It looks as though even the BodyGuardz film will still have to be modified to fit the corners.
[G Tablet Accessories] aquarius21:
it2steve - I'm in the same boat. My Nushield DayVue came in oversized as well and I'm waiting to see if the resized one they're sending works out for you. Please let me know!
[G Tablet Accessories] aamon17:
What dimensions did you use? Is it matte?
[G Tablet Accessories] jpmi23:
Hmm. I don't see a cover on mine. Just picked it up last night. God I hope I didn't get a refurb. :confused:
[G Tablet Accessories] apsawyer65:
I checked out NuShield's web site and did not see that the gTablet was listed as an option. Did you guys do a custom order?
[G Tablet Accessories] Lindarose84:
I also didn't get a screen protector on mine. I just got the green cloth to clean the screen. I hope I didn't get a refurb as well!
[G Tablet Accessories] jpmi23:
Mine doesn't act like a refurb. This thing is all sorts of awesome! Would like some protection though.
[G Tablet Accessories] CARMELHILL:
From what I understand, after all the complaints about the bubbles in the shipping protector, they took it off before packaging. The people with the bubbled covers might have gotten some of the very first pads to be manufactured and released.

NuShield Custom Protector

So i got my test screen protector in yesterday and we are pretty close to a good fit, let me know if you think I should try and get them to change it some more, the corners look like they were cut with scissors?
[G Tablet Accessories] Lindarose84:
Thanks for the info. I was worried for a second- at least mine was in the later batch of shipments. Good to know they actually listen to complaints and make changes.
[G Tablet Accessories] life02:
no kidding those corners look like ****
[G Tablet Accessories] acuralegendz:
my email back to support concerning the new test protector:

We are almost there guys, unfortunately your corner cuts are awful, it looks like they were done by hand, i will attach photos of the protector laying on my device. These need to be smoother, ive posted the pics on the forum and everyone agrees that once they are smooth and maybe the dimensions are a tad bigger we will have a great product.
[G Tablet Accessories] acuralegendz:
Joe,

Corners have to be cut by hand for now until a die is made. Whether this gets done depends on demand for the size. The film is intentionally cut slightly smaller than the screen so that it makes installation easier as well as compensating for the usual lack of flatness of these screens near the bezel.

I wrote them back and asked what type of demand would be needed for a die to be made. How many people would order this if they smooth the corners, because I think once that is done this will be a great way to protect our awesome Tabs?:D
[G Tablet Accessories] harpua1980:
Cutting by hand doesn't mean they need too look like crap. How about a little patience and an exacto knife.....
[G Tablet Accessories] Acturbo:
Its called outsourcing, if they can pay kindergarten kids to cut the corners they can cut manufacturing costs..........

Im in for one if they can manage to smooth the corners.
[G Tablet Accessories] acuralegendz:
Joe,

If we see a sustained order rate of about 10 films per month, we will have a die made. We had an initial large flood of orders but that has died down quite a bit. Probably resulted from the premature posting of the original customer who requested this size.

This kind of item is a bit more complicated than most. If a new laptop size is created, chances are there will be other laptops with the same size screen and the risk of investing in a new die is minimal as sales for this size can be supported by other manufacturers. This is a unique item and different manufacturers of tablets will likely use somewhat different sizes for theirs.

[G Tablet Accessories] mike0miller:
I had a G1 and always kept the screen covered. It worked fine. I purchased my Nexus one and have never kept the screen covered. Neither one of the devices have visible scratches.

I elect to leave the screen uncovered on my gtablet, unless something becomes available that makes the visibility more pleasing.

My Nexus One is always in my pocket (in the sleeve). My pockets aren't quite large enough for my keys and the gtablet so it won't get that abuse.
[G Tablet Accessories] anlog:
Square Corners

I emailed Joe at NuShield and asked if I could order the protector with squared corners (and that I would round them myself). Here was his reply:

******

Yes it is. Please order normally and put in the Customer Comments box - "SQUARE CORNERS!!!"

******

I honestly think that the GTab screen would benefit greatly from a good anti-glare screen protector. My question is: Is the quality, clarity, and anti-glare aspects of the NuShield screen protector worth the cost? If I am going to have to trim it myself, I can always just go and buy an anti-glare protector from the store. If the NuShield is good, then I will buy from them.

Please let us know what your updated assesment is...

Thanks,
[G Tablet Accessories] acuralegendz:
The quality is good, as for the anti glare aspect, if you go back and read my other posts it talks about sacraficing some quality for anti glare, these protectors dont reduce glare as much as they could but you dont sacrafice any image quality either. I'm happy with the product but wish that they could create a perfect fit. I do understand the need for a volume order and therefore dont think that will happen. If they dont make a smooth product no one will order it, and if no one orders it they wont make a die to cut it perfectly. Its a catch 22. Therefore I presume we will have to wait for a larger company like Zagg to mass produce a better product. I tried my best but it looks like thats as good as it gets.:(
[G Tablet Accessories] anlog:
The really hardcore anti-glare screen protectors definitely reduce quality, but the lack of glare and smoothness of finger swipes usually makes it worth it.

The problem with cutting some screen protectors is that it can sometimes "dent" the edge, causing it to lift or bubble around the perimeter. Thicker protectors seem to "dent" worse.

$25 + shipping seems a bit steep for a so-so protector that has to be cut anyway. I think I'll check eBay and some local stores for an alternate option. I would rather have maximum anti-glare and smooth swiping.

Thanks again for keeping all of us up to date on this...
[G Tablet Accessories] krissywolle:
I agree with Anlog... for $25, I would expect an absolute perfect fit pre-cut.

The comment about intentionally making it smaller makes no sense to me, why doesn't this vendor take the time to go buy a unit just to do the sizing (they could take it right back, heck - don't even turn it on..)

This is the last trinket to buy for my G Tab. (Case and carbon fiber should arrive on my door step any day now). I'll be watching carefully for a golden anti-glare screen protection recommendation!

:) Krissy
[G Tablet Accessories] pogul:
I had the same thought - can't they just run down to their local Sears, Staples. or Office Depot and pick one up?? Or make their own template on the display unit??

I'm not in that industry, but certainly there must be SOME sort of tool/device that can be used to measure the 'roundness' of a corner :confused:

I've been a long time customer of Bodyguardz/Screenguardz and I was going to jump ship to this NUShield, but as others have pointed out - if this is the best it's going to get, it's not worth $25.

I appreciate all the back and forth you've done with them - and keeping us all informed. I was pretty psyched up after reading their hype about their 'DayVue' screens - but - I can't bring myself to put a hacked up thing like that on my gTab. :p I hope they at least do you right in the end and send you something with a much cleaner cut on it.

I'm going to keep an eye here for a few more days to see if they come up with something better... still holding out hope! lol
[G Tablet Accessories] Longsh0t:
I offered to send in the original screen cover that came with the the tablet to Zagg but they said they no longer take custom requests like this. It seems like sending this into NuShield would make sense as long as you make note of where the camera holes are at.
[G Tablet Accessories] copc:
I'm surprised that they use die's to cut these. Even my tint guy uses laser cutters in 2010. Put the measurements in and start cutting. :eek:
[G Tablet Accessories] anlog:
I was going to order this one and cut it to size, but the delivery estimate is January 7th!!! (comes from Hong Kong). I'd rather pay more and get it NOW.

http://cgi.ebay.com/14-4-Anti-Glare-Screen-Protector-Laptop-Notebook-/310254760684

Their 14.1" should work also, but it is cutting it very close (by a few MM). The 14.4 is the same price, so might as well go that route...

***UPDATE***

Screw it... I ordered one. Less than $7 shipped. Every local retailer wants like $40 bucks for a large enough protector. Not gonna throw my money away on that...
[G Tablet Accessories] rswindle:
Can anybody speak to the nushield's surface stickiness? My tab came with no screen protector, and the screen is very sticky if I wash my hands or don't have the screen all smudged to **** already..

Does the nushield protector surface have a less gripy surface?
[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:
if you guys are still looking for screen protectors that fit 100% i can make some pretty easily. what i actually use is paint protection film for vehicles, it's a clear thick plastic. I can just throw it in the vinyl cutter with exact dimensions..

there was no screen protector on the screen and green cloth

maybe this new production with no screen protection!!!
[G Tablet Accessories] bousquet:
Do you guys like those protectors that have the front/back peels? They are always stiff and have issues with sticking. Personally, I just hate them all.

I've been a long time fan of Zagg/Invisible Shield protectors. I later switched to Best Skins Ever to save the money because the materials are exactly the same. People often call them orange peals. They only have a wax paper backing and are applied with water. If you get a descent misting spay bottle and a credit card you can get all the bubbles and dust out (assuming your careful and have a steady hand).

I'm waiting until Best Skins Ever has another 20% sale and then I'm ordering a DIY skin from here: www.bestskinsever.com/diy-skins. The 12" x 24" skin will have more than plenty to cover the front back and sides.

I am taking your advise and have ordered the DIY Cut To Fit Blank Skin (12 x 14") - SKU L 1151. I am so tired of using this without screen protection and risking scratching this glass...lol

Sounds like you use the same process I have used in the past on the Invisishield Skins....

Thanks for the heads up!!!
[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:
So heres a quick sample of the screen protector.

Keep in mind, this is NOT the template, just a piece of scrap i put on my tablet to show the texture. This protector needs to be applied WET (this one i did dry) hence all the tiny air bubbles.

the touch sensitivity does not appear to have changed. the material feels a little less rubbery than my zagg.

I'm just not sure how many people want to get their electronics wet, nor do we want to assume liability.. hehe

lemme know what ya think
[G Tablet Accessories] copc:
Looks good, how clear does the screen look with it on?

You have to apply the zagg's wet, so what's the diff?

Any idea on pricing? and are you going to give cutouts for the camera and sensor?
[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:
looks pretty good actually, despite applying it dry.. I could probably hit it with a hair dryer and make the bubbles go away.

I'm accustomed to using the wet method, but the boss lady is just worried about liability stuff.. She's not really familiar with this type of thing.

As far as clarity goes, it has less orange peel than my zagg.. Keeping in mind my zagg is 1 year old.

-edit-

I did cutout around the camera, as far as pricing, i need to find that out yet but i'm going to guess $20 or less
[G Tablet Accessories] beepoo83:
Could you send me the website cause I need to order one
[G Tablet Accessories] copc:
Totally understand on the liability thing. When you get things more firmed up with pricing and a actual working unit with pics. PM me or start a new thread for your protectors,cuz I'd be interested...

Of course if you wanted to use me as a guinea pig and at a discount you could ship it with my rear cover? ;)
[G Tablet Accessories] bousquet:
Aaron, looks pretty good to me! Zagg/BSE may be a little bit thicker, but it's hard to tell. I do see the Orange Peal in it too.

You might think about a bundle price for front & back skins to entice customers for both.

In case people didn't see it Aaron's back skins look like this:

I really love the cut on the back and can't wait to see how your finished front turns out! Please share an example when you can. Maybe even with the sceen on just in case.

Cheers!
[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:
i know that our clear is 7mil (0.007in) I couldn't find a thickness for zagg or bse

we've been kinda busy to say the least with the back skins so i haven't had a whole lot of time to get the fronts going.

I just finish installing my nushield screen protector . The first one they send me was too big then the 2nd one they send was too small . So I just gave in and install the small one in . The screen protector actually made my screen MORE reflective . Isn't anti-glare suppose to do the opposite ?

The customer service for nushield is great but the product not so much .

Aaron, how does this stuff reflect light? More reflective? Less reflective?

I still need to drop in and see you guys to pick up some goodies..........
[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:
i'd say about the same as the screen without a protector on it, only a little more diffused. It still smudges but they seem easier to wipe off. The protector as makes the screen feel smoother ie. less resistance when you slide your finger on it.
[G Tablet Accessories] Acturbo:
PM me with a price. More than happy to post back here too, so other people have an idea of how good it is. Now getting over to the shop by 5 thats a different story............................

i think she just 86'ed the whole screen protector idea. Stupid i know, but you just can't explain things to some people.. "There has to be something that gets applied dry" I said "yeah, they are crap"

Meh, whatever ..
[G Tablet Accessories] bousquet:
I suggest pointing her to the Zagg Invisible Shield application guide and Best Skins Ever's application instructions. They are the most common gadget protectors available and applied the same way. You could suggest putting a disclaimer on the ordering page detailing that the application process is wet and could damage your device and suggest having it professionally installed, but your company claims no liability for the application of the product.

Also remind her that Zagg is sold and installed at Best Buy and thousands of other retails chains.
[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:
hehe, yupp one step ahead of you, already emailed them to her. Also suggested a disclaimer.. We'll see..

Ebay has a screen protector for G-tablet for 29.95. Reading a review from a ebay buy stating that it is a perfect fit for G-tablet and don't cover the camera, the buttons, etc.

29.95 is too expensive. I also found one from a China Android tablet site for 4.95 and it is for the 10.1 inch Chinese android tablets (Zt-180 or others).. Have anyone tried the Zt-180 screen protector?

NVM I found it, thanks.
[G Tablet Accessories] festivus:
Seems to me that an easier way to do this would be to simply order a screen protector for a 10.1" netbook screen. I assume that it would fit quite well over the "touchable" part of the screen, save the four android buttons. Check eBay item number 400181234472 for a US seller. As much as I love the prices from the Chinese sellers, waiting 15-20 days can be a bit of a pain.
[G Tablet Accessories] tdegenaro:
This one may be a better choice if you plan to cover the entire face of the screen. 10.1 will only cover the viewable portion. Item # 400181814035

Best Skins Ever

Folks,

My order from Best Skins Ever came in today; I will cut mine down to shape then apply it... has anyone else ordered and applied these to your G Tablet yet? If so... how is it working for you?
[G Tablet Accessories] aamon17:
Aye dios mio! Que horible mi amigo!!!! :mad: I literally JUST peeled mine off!!! I applied yesterday, let it setup 24 hours and my screen was TOTALLY unresponsive after boot! The buttons worked in recovery as i attempted to clear cache, wipe & restore a backup. But everytime I booted up, the screen was unresponsive. Since I bought the large sheet & still had the other half, I peeled it off. IMMEDIATELY the screen started working again without it! Maybe yours will work. Mine didn't!!!
[G Tablet Accessories] GTablet:
I agree that material is just not right for this tablet... I guess we just waisted a few dollars on that experiment!

Installation is normal, wasn't too hard but wasn't easy. I have one small piece of debris outside the viewing area that is not noticeable except for me and that's just because I'm too much of a perfectionist. There are no bubbles but I took my time and used 2 credit cards to push it down as I went. I'll get the pictures in another couple of hours. And yes the fingerprints do show but easily wipe off. I don't know that they are quite as bad.
